Chapter 129: Divine Viscera, Breaking the Saint Tree Upgrade, the [Origin] Character Saint Fruit Appears!

Shen Youning was right; Chen Yan had exposed too much.

Since they could now defeat the Platinum Grade Twelfth Ju Ming, there was no reason for Dark Soul to invite the twentieth-ranked Bing Yi anymore.

Although Bing Yi was last ranked twentieth, it was not because Bing Yi only possessed that level of strength, but because Bing Yi had only fought a few matches.

"Perhaps Dark Soul has realized that Bing Yi is Chen Yan," Xu Di said in a low voice.

"Unlikely," Shen Youning frowned:

"I watched that match of Bing Yi's; what Bing Yi exposed was completely different from Chen Yan."

After Shen Youning finished speaking, the three people inside the camp fell silent.

"Is it possible that Dark Soul..." Xu Di began:

"Intends to risk everything to kill Chen Yan?"

Chen Yan's pupils flickered slightly.

He understood.

Perhaps Dark Soul intended to find a great many people to kill him.

After witnessing his strength, the other side discovered that they had made an enemy of an extremely powerful genius.

This hatred was a life-and-death grudge that could not be resolved.

Therefore, the only possibility for Dark Soul was to exhaust everything to kill Chen Yan as quickly as possible.

The other side did not intend to rely on Bing Yi to kill Chen Yan, but Bing Yi could indeed strengthen the power on Dark Soul's side.

Everything would happen in three days.

"Now, you should finally need someone else's help."

To the side, Xu Di spoke gloomily.

Chen Yan remained silent.

…………

Time passed slowly.

The Ancient Beast Riot had already ended, but the military guards of Yixian City and Yunmeng City were still clearing out the remaining Ancient Beasts.

To avoid any oversights.

Ancient Beasts could never be fully cleared, and human development also required the existence of Ancient Beasts.

But in this place, Ancient Beasts that could potentially reach the Fourth Rank were not allowed to exist.

Inside a mountain valley.

Boom!

Chen Yan slammed a foot into Shen Youning's belly.

The moment the latter's body blasted backward, the tips of her feet stomped fiercely into the space, sending out a ripple.

Following that, her tall figure rotated three times in the high air and threw a punch.

Buzz!

A streak of sword light suddenly attacked; Chen Yan's pupils shrank, he condensed wind waves between his fists and threw a punch.

Boom!

A massive storm with a diameter of fifty meters, sweeping up rolling Sword Intent, slashed all the way into the high sky.

Shen Youning landed:

"You cannot bring yourself to deal a lethal blow to me; if you don't shatter my fist-sword, you cannot possibly achieve greater growth."

Chen Yan withdrew his fist; for now, it was just a trial.

He wanted to rely on sparring with Shen Youning to improve his comprehension of the 【Heavenly Patrol】.

As it seemed now, it was not enough.

Only life-and-death combat could improve strength the fastest.

"In your heart, you must feel that I am weaker than you," Shen Youning said, her gaze deep:

"But I am, after all, the third-ranked Heavenly Pride of Yunmeng City; how could I be that weak?"

She glanced at the footprint on her belly, her Aura vibrated, and the footprint disappeared.

"You are a teammate," Chen Yan laughed.

Shen Youning was indeed not weak; her fist-sword technique actually combined Fist Intent with Sword Intent.

It was very strange.

He always felt that Shen Youning was holding something back.

The way she handled everything was a bit too calm.

It was very difficult for Chen Yan to see any emotional fluctuation in Shen Youning's eyes.

Shen Youning was stunned for a moment and glanced at Chen Yan sideways:

"You thinking that way is not wrong either."

"Do you know Chen Min?" Chen Yan asked.

"I know, the first-ranked Heavenly Pride of Lao City, the Son of the Chen Family Invincible Son," Shen Youning nodded.

"What is his Cultivation Realm?"

"His SoulRefining path is at the Five Viscera, and his Horizontal Refinement path is over one hundred patterns in the Extreme Forging Realm," Shen Youning said:

"Just like you, and both are Ice Attribute Qi and Blood."

Chen Yan's pupils flickered slightly:

"Is he not the First Heaven's Pride?

How is his Cultivation Realm so low?"

Shen Youning spoke with a faint smile:

"Aren't you also a genius? Isn't your Cultivation Realm also very low?"

Chen Yan remained in silence.

"Are you trying to ask if Chen Min, being in a large Family and different from you, should have already reached the Hundred Meridians of SoulRefining, right?"

Shen Youning spoke, sitting on a small mound of earth.

"Yes."

Shen Youning was expressionless, yet a pair of eyes looked up toward the Qiong Tian:

"At the beginning of this world, there were no cultivators. Suddenly, someone opened the SoulRefining of the heart, so there was the First Viscera Realm.

Others learned from them, and many entered the First Viscera Realm, but suddenly, someone opened the liver after opening the heart.

Thus, the First Viscera Realm became the Second Viscera Realm."

Shen Youning's voice was cold, but in the heart of Chen Yan beside her, rolling waves surged.

"Are you saying that the first Cultivation Realm of SoulRefining, the Five Viscera Realm, has other viscera besides the five?"

Shen Youning looked at Chen Yan faintly:

"The Seventy-Two Patterns Extreme Forging Realm is already named after the seventy-two patterns, so why would some people open a number of Grain Marks that exceeds seventy-two?"

Chen Yan's Pupil constricted, and he looked at Shen Youning earnestly:

"What is the sixth viscera that Chen Min wants to open called?"

"The Spirit Viscera." Shen Youning tapped her own Brain:

"Legend has it that those who open the Spirit Viscera have SoulRefining born in the Brain, can transcend Martial Dao Rules, and can obtain great fortune."

Chen Yan nodded and turned to leave.

"Are you not going to spar with me anymore?" Shen Youning asked.

"No." Chen Yan looked at Shen Youning, Laughing:

"Thank you."

"You're welcome," Shen Youning said.

Leaving where Shen Youning was, Chen Yan had not yet reached the Mountain Cave he used for Cultivation when he encountered a face he had seen before.

Lu Mingxuan.

Chen Yan frowned slightly; when he came out, he heard other Military Officers whispering and knew that Lu Mingxuan had feelings for Shen Youning.

If he had feelings, he had feelings, as long as he didn't come to annoy him.

But the appearance of Lu Mingxuan at this moment still made Chen Yan feel a trace of Annoyance.

He did not want to be dragged into a melodramatic competition.

"Chen Yan, it wasn't easy to find you."

Lu Mingxuan stood on a Tree branch, looking down at Chen Yan.

Their eyes met, and for a long while, there was Silence.

Chen Yan frowned, noticing a trace of slight vibration appearing all over Lu Mingxuan's body.

Was the other party nervous, or angry?

"Chen Yan, please teach me!"

That Youth with a unique temperament suddenly landed in front of Chen Yan and spoke with extreme seriousness.

Things were developing a bit differently.

Chen Yan frowned:

"Teach you what?"

"Teach me how to make Shen Youning notice me!"

Lu Mingxuan spoke, feeling a bit embarrassed:

"My Father and Vice Chief Shen were originally comrades-in-arms, but their relationship has become worse and worse in recent years.

The Military Guards of Yixian City and Yunmeng City were originally deep in Brotherhood, but they have also become increasingly distant in recent years.

I think we juniors should be on good terms, which could also promote the relationship between the two sides."

Chen Yan was a bit surprised:

"Although I understand you, I really don't know."

Did Chen Yan and Shen Youning get along well?

Actually, this was not a question of getting along or not at all.

The two were merely comrades-in-arms.

Lu Mingxuan opened his Mouth and hurriedly said:

"I am serious."

"I truly do not know how to get along with Shen Youning." Chen Yan turned and left.

Lu Mingxuan pursed his lips and then walked toward the depths of the Shanlin, but seeing Shen Youning walking toward this side, he hurriedly said with a smile:

"Youning, is Uncle Shen well recently?"

"He's quite well." Shen Youning nodded and walked away quickly.

"This..." Lu Mingxuan hurriedly spoke:

"My dad has also been full of regret these past two years, but he had no choice; if he hadn't done that, Yixian City wouldn't have been able to be protected!"

Shen Youning paused, then turned and flew into the forest.

Lu Mingxuan opened his Mouth, and a look of bitterness immediately appeared in his eyes.

"Uncle Shen, I'm afraid he is still blaming my dad..."

………………

Inside the Mountain Cave.

Time flowed by.

Ever since that day, Chen Yan had been staying inside the Mountain Cave, practicing Observation and Imagination.

Observing and imagining day and night.

"What day is it today? The second day, the third day?"

Chen Yan opened his eyes, feeling somewhat lost as to how much time had passed.

Sensing the changes in the Break-Saint Tree, a Smile appeared at the corner of Chen Yan's mouth.

【Breaking Saint Tree Level Four: 9/10

Strength: 34/100

Blood: 23/100

Technique: 95/100

Body: 21/100

Array: 100/100】

…………

The Zhen Character Fruit had finally ripened.

With joy spreading across his face, Chen Yan knew that this ripening did not just represent a breakthrough in his own Array mastery.

It also meant...

The Break-Saint Tree was about to level up again.

Pick it!

Within the Po Saint Realm, a phantom of Chen Yan, which had not appeared for a long time, walked leisurely and then plucked that golden-yellow Zhen Character Fruit.

Whoosh!

The Break-Saint Tree, which had been as if in a deep sleep, suddenly trembled.

As if nourished by the primordial Qi, the originally gnarled trunk instantly radiated with vibrant Life Force.

Like a dragon awakening, its momentum was like a rainbow.

It grew toward a more robust state.

At the same time.

The Data Panel also changed quietly.

【Break-Saint Tree (Level Five): 0/50

Strength: 34/100

Blood: 23/100

Technique: 95/100

Body: 21/100

Array: 0/100

Yuan: 0/100】

The Break-Saint Tree upgraded to Level Five.

This also meant that Chen Yan could consume the Origin Character Breaking Saint Fruit from now on!

At this moment, he could not help but think of the Ice Chamber located within the Tianjiao Shiyan Chang Suo.

Chen Yan had personally witnessed dozens of Ice Silkworms frozen within the thick Bing Liang.

If Chen Yan could obtain them, the ice-attribute Element absorbed by himself plus what the Break-Saint Tree absorbed...

It would likely reach a level so intense it would be shocking!

Chen Yan could not hide the joy in his heart, and at this moment, he looked at the Zhen Character Fruit again.

Swallow!

Instantly, waves of gentle yet majestic memories dissolved within his brain.

In those memories, Chen Yan was an ascetic pursuing the Law Extreme of arrays.

Everything he experienced was so vivid.

His Mu Jin even became dazed.

"Chen Yan, are you truly going to be stupid to death? With just this, you can kill me?"

The Green-Eyed Ancient Divine Beast looked at Chen Yan with extreme Ferociousness:

"Your Protective Pattern is used for defense, yet my Ancient Intent Pattern is for displacement and concealment.

There are so many differences between them, how could you outline them so crudely!"

In the memory, the Green-Eyed Ancient Divine Beast was on the verge of madness:

"Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

"How could I have a Disciple like you? You actually have the ability to kill me."

"Your Array Disk has three major systems: defense, displacement, and concealment; this can greatly reduce the time you spend on other types of Martial Dao."

The Green-Eyed Ancient Divine Beast stood with hands behind its back; at a certain moment, its Mu Guang flashed brilliantly, as if it had seen something terrifying beyond measure, and it said tremblingly:

"This world is just a huge Array Disk; it is that unnameable Great One using themselves to seal themselves..."

Buzz!

A buzzing sound resonated from within the Mountain Cave.

On Chen Yan's body, Ink Patterns bloomed like flowers of the Abyss; the more they bloomed, the more intense the suffocating majesty on Chen Yan's body became.

Chen Yan stretched out his hand.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

Waves of air erupted from his hand, and the palm lines began to vibrate and blur.

Immediately after, Chen Yan's entire person became illusory.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, steady.

Inside the Mountain Cave, gusts of wild Wind Element were whipped up, and Chen Yan's figure had already disappeared.

Yet the phantom image that flashed for a split second indicated that Chen Yan was indeed inside the Mountain Cave.

Constantly performing high-speed displacement.

His Aura began to fade, began to disappear.

Finally, at a certain moment, he suddenly appeared.

His Pupil radiated a sharp light.

Protective Pattern, upgrade!

Earth Vein Grade, Third Rank!
