Chapter 140: Buckle Down, You

Hooo...

A long, drawn-out breath was exhaled from Chen Yan's mouth, bringing with it bursts of rumbling.

Under the blessing of the Heart-Entry Level 【Heavenly Patrol】, Chen Yan's limbs and skeleton were like an instrument refined to the extreme.

Amidst the clanging collision of gold and iron, his power was vast and peerless.

All around, the lime dust kicked up by the Giant Eye he had sent flying with a kick was still billowing.

From behind, however, came the sounds of people struggling to swallow their saliva.

Zhan Hun's brows shot up, his eyes looking as if they were about to roll out of their sockets.

The others were slightly more composed, though not by much.

Because the moment that Giant Eye appeared, they had each been pulled into a massive illusion crafted from endless Malice.

In that boundless, hazy void, staring into an infinite Giant Eye, the fear that pierced into one's heart and lungs made it impossible to muster even a shred of resistance.

Then, they saw that boundless, massive Giant Eye, under one kick from Chen Yan, get...

Blasted away.

"You all stay and guard the outside."

The Youth clad in black robes cast his gaze over.

Lu Mingxuan pressed his lips together tightly; he had wanted to say something like "let's go together."

After all, that was a Half-Step Fourth Stage Ancient Divine Beast.

If one were even slightly careless, it was likely everyone would end up dying here.

But looking at Chen Yan's expression, it clearly meant: don't come over and steal my meal.

Damn it, that is a Half-Step Fourth Stage Ancient Divine Beast.

That is not a meal.

Inside that Stone Chamber, there is likely still a Malice Crystal containing intense Malice.

Don't be like this.

Being like this will make me...

Look like a real Waste.

"Just guard here; if I see something wrong, I will rush in to resist that Ancient Divine Beast."

Lu Mingxuan spoke in a low voice and sat down cross-legged:

"You all go save Chen Yan."

Shen Youning was silent for a moment:

"If there is danger, I will go suppress the Ancient Divine Beast, and you all go save Chen Yan."

Lu Mingxuan's brows twitched.

What does that mean?

Am I not as good as Chen Yan, and now not even as good as Shen Youning?

But thinking back to how he had been infected by the Malice before Shen Youning, Lu Mingxuan lowered his head and clenched his fists.

In Yixian City, he was, at the very least, the First Heaven's Pride of the Military Officer corps.

Today, he had truly been dealt a blow.

At least... at least he hadn't given up today, which should leave a good impression in the hearts of these people from Yunmeng City.

He looked at Shen Youning, only to see the Woman in military uniform with her brows tightly furrowed; as she looked toward the Stone Chamber, her bright pupils were filled with worry and trepidation.

The others were in much the same state.

I really envy Chen Yan.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

A harsh, Shrill Screech rippled into the air.

A wave of Malice struck; Shen Youning and the others' complexions shifted slightly, and they retreated in a hurry until, after turning a certain corner, they were about to lose even the ability to watch the battle.

Inside the Stone Chamber, the Youth bathed in Golden Light leaped into the air, his Flesh and Skin rippling all over.

The Fist he had just blasted out also dissipated under this wave of Malice.

This was an oval-shaped Mountain Cave about ten meters high and two hundred square meters in size.

A cold, gloomy Aura lingered like a ghost.

Along the foot of the craggy Shi Bi, there was, shockingly, a circular trench dug out by hand.

The trench was filled with sticky, red-black blood, and Corpse after Corpse, along with severed limbs, were soaking in the blood.

The air was filled with a nauseating stench.

Chen Yan only had to glance at it to see several faces soaking in the blood that he had clearly seen just a few days ago.

They were the very Military Officers who had come here to help slay the Ancient Beast.

Now, they were just soaking there, eyes wide with death, unable to rest in peace; one could only imagine the despair and fear they must have felt before they died.

A rustling sound arose.

That Giant Eye Ancient Beast was floating in mid-air, and upon its eye were countless dense, packed eyes, all staring at Chen Yan in unison.

It remained just as indifferent, just as filled with the mockery of a higher lifeform facing a bug.

Hiss.

On the Giant Eye, within each tiny eye, the whites and pupils began to converge and churn, and immediately after, human hands like thin White Snakes darted out.

Chen Yan's Frost Mo narrowed, and the next moment, his body lunged forward violently.

"Do you think this looks cool?"

He blasted out a Fist!

Rumble!

The golden storm instantly bombarded the Giant Eye, shredding it, and countless hands darting out from within the Giant Eye were smashed into minced flesh amidst the gale.

The Giant Eye Ancient Divine Beast was clearly changing its own state, and Chen Yan would never give the opponent time, allowing it to change safely and steadily.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Fists were thrown out one after another!

The First-grade Peak Fist Intent erupted.

Driving the Horizontal Refinement Absolute Technique, Red Heart Fist.

Inside the entire Stone Chamber, a wild wind howled and churned incessantly.

Screech!!!

A sharp screech resounded, penetrating the air, penetrating the Shi Bi, and penetrating into the ears of the crowd outside.

Lu Mingxuan had a suffocated expression; this sharp screech was like tearing apart his cerebral cortex as it exploded.

"This Ancient Divine Beast, so it has a Mouth."

Li Qingyuan grinned, his mouth corners forcibly revealing a trace of a smile, very stiff.

To the side, Song Yinchen's Frost Mo trembled, and her Spirit was shaken even more violently.

Their group had only approached that Ancient Divine Beast and had already suffered such tribulation.

She truly could not understand why there were peers who could achieve this level.

Such a genius, why would they appear in a place like Yunmeng City?

Inside the Stone Chamber.

Following Chen Yan's punching, the Half-Step Fourth Stage Giant Eye Ancient Divine Beast was clearly unable to continue maintaining its original indifference.

Rumble!

The gale screeched.

Accompanied by countless shredded white Flesh, the Giant Eye Ancient Divine Beast finally completed its morphological change at a certain moment.

Yet look.

Countless hands darted out from the Giant Eye, intertwined, gathered together, bound to each other, and transformed into a two-meter-tall Human-form Ancient Divine Beast.

No facial features, no hair, no clothes.

The white Human-form Ancient Divine Beast, whose whole body was composed of countless small hands, stood just like that in the surging golden hurricane.

A feeling of shade, terror, and power struck in an instant.

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes and glanced at that Giant Eye, which was full of holes and no longer moving.

His Gaze turned back to this Human-form Ancient Divine Beast.

"Is this a Half-Step Fourth Stage?"

Chen Yan whispered, and a more primitive Malice made his whole body tremble slightly.

"So strong!"

Chen Yan clenched his fists, on his Chest.

Twenty-five Force Patterns, twenty-five Bone Patterns, twenty-seven Skin Patterns, twenty-six Tendon Patterns.

All one hundred and three Grain Marks emerged.

Immediately following, the Ink Patterns changed and circulated, and an Aura as terrifying as a Demon erupted from Chen Yan's body.

All the extreme satin Grain Marks changed into the Zhuang Jue Array Disk that embraced his whole body.

"I hope you can let me break my limits."

The Protective Pattern operated, and Chen Yan's body began to Buzz and tremble; his body and facial features blurred, turning into a phantom.

The Human-form Ancient Divine Beast suddenly appeared on Chen Yan's right side and grabbed at Chen Yan's Brain.

The next moment.

Boom!

An air blast sounded, and Chen Yan's Brain suddenly shattered.

The Human-form Ancient Divine Beast clearly stiffened, but it saw that what it had grabbed and shattered was simply a phantom about to dissipate.

Boom!

A figure in ink-colored clothes appeared to the upper left of the Human-form Ancient Divine Beast; as Chen Yan's body turned sideways and he kicked out, he dragged along the Golden Flame.

With a rumble.

This kick struck the Human-form Ancient Divine Beast's Neck, causing it to cave in; the latter turned around, raised its right Fist, and was about to strike Chen Yan with a punch.

Chen Yan hooked this punch with his other leg, his body rotating at high speed in mid-air to borrow force.

Yet in the next moment, another kick came crashing down.

Fist Intent!

Fist Intent is the intent of Body Martial Dao.

The Human-form Ancient Divine Beast prepared its counterattack in this instant.

But under Chen Yan's Horizontal Push Fist Intent, its movement paused.

Rumble!

The golden gale swallowed the Human-form Ancient Divine Beast like a roaring dragon.

Chen Yan moved his body, stepping before the Blood Pool soaking the Corpse, the killing intent in his eyes growing more and more intense.

"Put in more effort, you must not let me feel Disappointment."

Rumble!

The Heart-Entry Level Heavenly Patrol operated!

Chen Yan's entire body's bones and Flesh were vibrating with an unprecedented force.

The mass of Chen Yan's body had not changed, but the level of his Breathing Method had changed drastically.

It was as if a fifty-thousand-dollar car had suddenly been fitted with a one-million-dollar engine.

The output power was indeed formidable, and even the force of his Horizontal Push was at least twice what it had been before.

But...

Tired!

Fatigue!

Within the Po Sheng Realm, the Orange Light representing Force energy, the Golden Light representing Artistic Energy, and the Green Light representing Constitution Energy were wrapping around each other and surging!

【Break-Saint Tree (Level Five): 1/50

Force: 37/100

Blood: 23/100

Technique: 2/100

Constitution: 25/100

Array: 1/100

Origin: 0/100】

Almost in the very next instant.

The progress of the three Sacred Fruits of 【Constitution】, 【Technique】, and 【Force】 all increased simultaneously.

And it was at this very moment.

The Human-form Ancient Divine Beast suddenly attacked, and waves of Malice vibrated and crashed into the depths of Chen Yan's Brain.

Chen Yan's vision began to blur.

Figures appeared before him.

"Brother, save me..."

Chen Yu was clutching his neck, crying and Howling, with blood flowing from between her Fingers.

Clatter!

A Long Blade ruthlessly pierced into Chen Yu's Chest, and Chen Yan's expression turned cold and stern.

Yet he saw that the one killing Chen Yu was none other than his own Father.

This was a hallucination within Chen Yan's Brain.

From the perspective of the Outer Realm, Chen Yan was currently motionless, while the Human-form Ancient Divine Beast's Fist was already slamming toward Chen Yan's face.
