550: Chapter 550 What is the Overlord Demon Claw?

Zhou Yan looked at this unique street, listening to the animals around him pointing and whispering, observing the place.

The street overall had a bit of a medieval European feel, except there were no dilapidated houses; they were all decorated grandly and magnificently.

The color scheme was also mainly blue and white, giving it the flavor of a religious city-state.

It was a good place, but the local culture was mediocre.

Only the Yao Race lived here; at least, Zhou Yan had only seen members of the Yao Race along the way.

When these adults saw Zhou Yan, they instinctively hissed, then spoke in low voices, their eyes revealing various negative emotions.

As for the children, they were more direct, radiating simple loathing toward Zhou Yan. Even without understanding the adults' attitudes, one could tell what the adults were usually like just by looking at the children they had influenced.

Was this the next step of the Heart Demon?

Zhou Yan calculated as he walked. Previously it was individual bullying; now it should be the cold shoulder of the masses.

How should he solve the cold shoulder of the masses?

According to the body's instinct, Yuan Chenling's body had already begun to tremble, and his gaze couldn't stop sliding downward. It was only because Zhou Yan constantly controlled the body to look up that he could barely continue walking.

“Got it!”

The Yao who had been secretly gossiping were all drawn to the protagonist of their discussion when he suddenly shouted in the middle of the street. Then, that “tiger” with mixed fur stood up amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd.

He began to scatter money like crazy!

“You bunch of stinking beggars, do you know which ‘Yuan’ the ‘Yuan’ in Young Master Yuan is?”

“I’ve really given you too much face. All of you, stay on the ground and pick up the money!”

“Think you’re superior? Just crawl on the ground, grab a couple of handfuls, and shout ‘Young Master Yuan,’ and all of this will be yours.”

Seeing a large number of Spirit Stones being scattered on the street by Zhou Yan, the Yao were all stunned and swallowed their saliva one after another.

Initially, they were somewhat reserved, but as the first dog Yao shouted “Young Master Yuan” and lunged forward, stuffing handfuls of Spirit Stones into his pockets, the other Yao also became envious. They no longer cared about dignity or setting a good image for their children, each shouting louder than the last.

And those children, who thought themselves mature and followed their parents' thinking in discriminating against Yuan Chenling, also had their worldviews shattered as they watched this scene.

As for Zhou Yan, who had done all this, he felt that the body was no longer affected and swaggered away from this den of trouble.

Spirit Stones were something Yuan Chenling truly possessed in this memory. During this period, he really didn’t lack money and could indeed do such a thing.

Although the act of scattering money was strange, the effect was excellent. After letting Yuan Chenling see their ugly side, they naturally couldn’t affect him anymore.

Recognizing others while recognizing oneself; it seemed this stage was also passed.

Zhou Yan continued forward, and the originally bustling street transformed again, seemingly returning to the previous forest.

“What’s going on? How did we loop back?”

“Hurry, let’s go!”

A large hand suddenly picked him up and held him in its arms.

Zhou Yan looked up and discovered that the person holding him was actually a white tiger.

Although he was in human form, his overall body was still that of a tiger, looking like a muscular man about two meters tall.

This white tiger was currently wearing a loose, deep red brocade robe that looked more like pajamas. Clearly, he had rushed out with him without having time to think.

“You’re not allowed to go anywhere!”

A giant roar like muffled thunder came from behind, turning the surrounding trees and rocks into ruins.

But he continued to flee with Zhou Yan, or rather, Yuan Chenling.

Zhou Yan poked his head out slightly and looked back.

Good grief, there was a literal mountain of a white tiger chasing them from behind!

Why say a “mountain”?

Because that guy was too big, practically a moving snow mountain!

At a glance, one couldn’t see the whole picture at all, only four giant claws running across the earth.

Most of its body was hidden in the night. Amidst that hazy sea of clouds, one could only vaguely see a pair of blood-red suns scrutinizing the ground below.

Every time it ran, the trembling of the fur on its body was like the wind blowing through a forest, with large trees swaying in the wind.

With every breath, the sea of clouds in the night shifted.

Wait?

Is this something a Heart Demon can simulate?

Zhou Yan clicked his tongue, unsure if he should say a certain curse word.

When he entered Long Tianxing’s Heart Demon back then, it was just a lot of resentment. Although there were many unknown areas that couldn’t be explored, he hadn’t seen such a massive Heart Demon jump out directly.

Now, everything before was just small-time stuff, and suddenly this thing jumps out. Isn’t this Heart Demon fraud!

Zhou Yan felt that even if he fully activated the Law of the Heart and fought this snow mountain after leaving Yuan Chenling’s body, he might not necessarily win.

“Are you kidding me? I’m at the Late Soul Transformation Stage!”

Zhou Yan couldn’t help it and instinctively complained out loud, only to be heard by the white tiger holding him.

He also freed up a hand, wiped away cold sweat, and said with an anxious face.

“My silly nephew, what are you saying?”

“Your Third Uncle is at the Late Body Integration Stage, not the Late Soul Transformation Stage.”

“And never mind Soul Transformation; even if your Third Uncle is at the Body Integration Stage, I can’t beat your father, who is at the Early Void Refining Stage!”

“If your Eldest Uncle hadn’t held back your father’s original body in the ancestral land, the two of us would be finished.”

Hearing this, Zhou Yan, who had been numb, suddenly perked up again.

“What did you say? He’s at the Early Void Refining Stage?”

Hearing his strange question, the Third Uncle stiffened his body, and then a voice came from behind.

“Domineering Heavenly Demonic Claw!”

Along with the voice, a giant claw fell, smashing behind the two of them, kicking up a cloud of dust and creating a massive crater.

This also scared him into hugging Zhou Yan tightly and running even harder.

“What nonsense are you talking, kid? You almost made me suffer.”

“Don’t you know your own father’s cultivation level?”

Hearing this confirmation, Zhou Yan seemed to understand, but to prevent any accidents, he asked another question.

“You said Eldest Uncle is holding back my father. Then what is Eldest Uncle’s cultivation level, and what is this thing chasing us now?”

Third Uncle showed a teeth-gritting expression. If the timing weren’t so inappropriate, he would have wanted to smack the kid’s butt right then and there.

“Your Eldest Uncle is naturally at the Body Integration Perfection stage; otherwise, how could he possibly stop someone at the Early Void Refining Stage? And what’s chasing us is your father’s Dharma Idol Clone, whose power is also unfathomably deep.”

“Alright, kid, stop distracting your Third Uncle, or you really will die at your father’s hands.”

After hearing this, Zhou Yan’s eyes lit up.

Good grief, so that’s what’s going on?

So, a Void Refining expert wants to kill his Qi Refining stage son, but is stopped by his Body Integration Perfection elder brother and can’t catch them.

So he had to send a Dharma Idol Clone to pursue, but the Dharma Idol Clone that makes his own younger brother wary can’t catch up to him.

Chasing like this all the way, without using any Divine Abilities or Magic Treasures, just pure chasing.

If he had heard this story back then, he might have just laughed it off, thinking it was a standard experience for a protagonist.

But he had been personally chased by that dead cat of Schrödinger’s.

That one time alone had completely shattered his tactical concept of being able to escape across cultivation Realms.

Not to mention, it wasn’t like Zhou Yan hadn’t seen the Body Integration Stage before. He had truly felt the gap between the Body Integration Stage and Soul Transformation. Although it was ridiculously large, it hadn’t reached the point of making one feel hopeless.

With this kind of Realm where a Soul Transformation could still trade a few blows, how could it possibly be a match for a powerhouse who had truly stepped into the Void Refining Stage?

“Third Uncle, tell the truth. Are you one of my father’s people?”

Third Uncle’s body paused, his expression somewhat stiff.

“You... what are you saying? Your father wants to kill you! How... how could I possibly be on the same side as him!”

Zhou Yan showed an “as expected” expression.

“Then do you think two people at the Body Integration Stage can stop one at the Void Refining Stage?”

“And what kind of thing was that ‘Domineering Heavenly Demonic Claw’ just now?”

“Wasn’t he just stomping his foot with force?”

“Is this thing also a Spell?”

Zhou Yan was speechless. There was such a big commotion just now, but it was just a stomp, without even any Law driving it.

At the very least, one of them should release a Law, and the other should block it symbolically.

The fact that this skill existed in Yuan Chenling’s Heart Demon meant the other party had actually used it in reality. But the lack of reaction meant that in reality, the other party’s performance was probably just like this.

So, all things considered, aren’t they just pure actors!

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally tense and exciting pursuit scene turned into nothingness, and Zhou Yan was thrown out by inertia.

A mixed-hair little lion rolled back and forth in the pitch-black world. After colliding with the ground several times, a human figure was suddenly knocked out of his body.

“What’s going on?”

Zhou Yan propped himself up with both hands and stood up, discovering that he, who had been incarnated as Yuan Chenling, had changed back to his original form.

And Yuan Chenling was still in that little lion form, lying in front of him.

Just as Zhou Yan was about to step forward to pick him up and check if he was okay, a large furry hand landed on his shoulder.

Following immediately was an extremely powerful killing intent that made even his conscious body tremble incessantly.

“Could this Fellow Daoist explain how you got in here?”

Zhou Yan turned his head tremblingly, looked at the fellow behind him, and couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

“Who are you?”
