Chapter 143: The Limit of the Realm, Transcending Martial Dao, the Ultimate Technique to Break Malice!

Shen Yiwei walked to the entrance of the Stone Chamber, and his body immediately stiffened.

Yet he saw that inside the Stone Chamber, a youth sitting cross-legged with eyes closed had a black crystal floating before him, condensing endless Malice.

The pitch-black crystal rotated gently just like that, resembling the pupil of a god; as Shen Yiwei stared at it, it was also casting an indifferent light toward Shen Yiwei.

Buzz!

The figure of Chi Lao appeared, an exceptionally grave expression on his face:

"Interrupt him!"

Chi Lao's breathing was rapid; how could he have imagined that Chen Yan had already attracted the attention of the Malice Crystal along this journey.

Right now, it was clearly inviting Chen Yan to become a Shen Shi.

No matter how good a Heavenly Pride is, once they become a Shen Shi, they are ruined.

Chen Yan had long since earned Chi Lao's appreciation.

But at this moment, Chi Lao was not very certain whether Chen Yan could refuse the Malice Crystal.

Because this was the Malice of an Ancient God.

It would stimulate the most difficult-to-eradicate evil within the human heart; no matter how firm a person's will, it is difficult to prevent being influenced by Malice.

Yet just as Chi Lao was about to strike, he was stopped by Shen Yiwei with one hand.

"Shen Yiwei, what are you doing!" Chi Lao barked in a low voice.

Shen Yiwei slowly shook his head:

"If Chen Yan wanted to leave, he would have left at the time; staying now, the Malice Crystal must have stirred something in his heart.

If it is not resolved now, I fear it will grow into a factor of instability for himself in the future."

Chi Lao Frown.

He understood the logic, but if Chen Yan couldn't get past this now, then damn it, there wouldn't even be a future.

He reached out a hand, but then, amidst a struggle, he turned around and left.

"I'm leaving first, I really cannot bear to watch..."

Chi Lao let out a low hum; if Chen Yan didn't hold on, that was something he did not want to see.

Shen Yiwei's Pupil color was deep, and at this moment, he also turned and walked out of the Shidong.

Looking toward Lu Xiliang and the others, he spoke in a deep voice:

"I hope today's matter can be kept confidential; everyone shall undergo testing by the Wen Xin Stele."

Lu Xiliang's Mu Guang shifted slightly.

Shen Yiwei wanted to keep Chen Yan's actions today a secret.

"Then how is Chen Yan now?" A Woman's voice rang out, and Shen Youning looked toward Shen Yiwei with a faint Mu Guang.

"He is in Cultivation Technique."

Shen Yiwei looked toward the Shidong behind him; no one noticed that his palms were already slick with sweat.

If anything went wrong on Chen Yan's side, he would strike immediately.

To shatter that Malice Crystal.

Chen Yan would suffer some injuries, but it would still be better than being completely transformed by Malice.

Shen Yiwei himself did not know why he did not go to directly interrupt Chen Yan.

In fact, if his Brain were slightly more normal, he would indeed have gone to interrupt.

But his Master was Lu Xunyang.

Compared to Lu Xunyang, what could a so-called Malice Crystal count for?

The other party possessed a Red Heart that was truly like steel.

That Chen Yan could bring the 【Red Heart Fist】 to the level of Spirit gave Shen Yiwei a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps, Chen Yan could really withstand the Malice Crystal and take another step forward.

…………

Inside the Stone Chamber.

Chen Yan bathed in Malice.

But at this moment, he was in a state of extreme calm.

He slowly opened his eyes and met the gaze of the Malice Crystal, as if he were facing a Giant Eye pressing down on Heaven and Earth, facing the Abyss of endless Darkness.

Low whispers resounded one after another in his Brain.

Every cell in his entire body seemed to be urging him, telling Chen Yan to raise his hand and touch that most brilliant Malice Crystal.

Rumble!

The Stone Chamber suddenly split open from the middle, and a crack in the earth reaching deep into the ground appeared.

The Darkness was like strands of pitch-black silk, slowly drifting and extending a welcoming hand toward Chen Yan.

It was as if as long as he accepted this Malice Crystal, a path leading to the future would appear.

No need to worry about Shen Yiwei behind him, no need to worry about the Malice from humanity.

"Are you telling me that Zhou Lu is actually another me?"

Chen Yan murmured aloud.

Facing the persecution of the Chu Family, Zhou Lu lost his Sister, lost his mother, and finally, in endless despair, stood on the other side of the world.

Buzz!

Black rays of light flashed from within the Malice Crystal.

Chen Yan's Pupil color was deep; if not for the Saint Realm Tree, would he be another Zhou Lu?

In Qingshan Town, even just wanting to know the name of the Bronze Statue was so difficult.

One thousand, enough to become a heavy hammer weighing a thousand jun, crushing his family to death.

He had clearly been admitted to the True Martial Class and thought everything would improve, but Chu Feiyuan came.

It seemed that the life belonging to Chen Yan was just this painful.

If there were no Po Saint Tree, what would he, Chen Yan, have become?

He would be another Zhou Lu; he would see his Sister lose her life, and he would be able to do nothing.

Why?

Why must it be like this?

Where exactly did he, Chen Yan, go wrong?

To be treated like this by this world.

Buzz!

Pure Malice tightly wrapped around Chen Yan, that Malice which made one's heart palpitate and would tear apart all living things.

At this moment, however, it felt as comfortable to Chen Yan as the warm sun of winter.

Buzz buzz buzz...

Waves of profound humming sounded, as if the Ancient Bell Sound of the earth were ringing at this moment.

Rings of ripples slowly spread outward with the Mountain Cave as the center.

Malice!

A more concentrated, more terrifying Malice was born at this moment.

Roar!!!

Above Qingshan, one after another, the Ancient Beasts that had been routed by the human military legions began to howl toward the sky.

Their voices were excited, incomparably agitated, and incomparably ferocious.

It was as if they were welcoming their own...

King!

"What is the situation!" Lu Xiliang's expression changed wildly in an instant:

"Shen Yiwei!!!"

Had the Malice Crystal not already disappeared?

What is this?

Everyone's heart and spirit trembled.

Even Shen Yiwei froze in place, and immediately after, a trace of helplessness appeared in his eyes as he extended one hand.

A water droplet containing dense Sword Intent appeared between his fingers.

Shen Yiwei shook his head, feeling somewhat self-reproachful.

That's right, how old is Chen Yan?

Being able to achieve what he has now is already quite remarkable.

He, Shen Yiwei, was ultimately too idealistic.

But, just as Shen Yiwei was preparing to interrupt Chen Yan, his finger trembled slightly, and the Dripping Sword Intent he had unleashed also became somewhat shaky.

Boom!

A Golden Gale Wind erupted from within the Stone Chamber.

It swam around Chen Yan's body, then hooked into the remaining Gang Wind, the Golden Light connecting, brilliant to the extreme.

The Youth wearing Black Clothes looked calmly at the Malice Crystal in his hand.

"If you give me strength, I will certainly take it."

Chen Yan whispered:

"But if you want me to act like a dog, you are clearly looking down on me again."

As Chen Yan spoke, the coldness in his eyes grew increasingly intense:

"You know how much I loathe Chu Feiyuan and Gong Hangwen, so why do you make me become something even worse than them?"

The Mu Guang of the Black-Clothed Youth became increasingly cold and stern, and as the cold light at the bottom of his eyes flickered, it was filled with a ferociousness like that of an Ancient Beast.

When Xia Dong ignored him, there was Wang Yang who helped him regardless of everything.

When he, Chen Yan, was imprisoned, there were Luo Puxin and Zhuang Xihang who came to help him.

That person in the shadows was constantly persecuting him, yet Shen Yiwei disregarded the danger here and was the first to go help Chen Yan.

If Shen Yiwei had arrived earlier, perhaps one less Military Officer would have died.

Perhaps, everyone would not be in such pain.

He, Chen Yan, harbored hatred for others, and also owed others.

"I have no way to judge Zhou Lu, because I have not experienced his Suffering."

Chen Yan's Mu Guang sank:

"But how to face it should be the difference between him and me."

Those who should be killed are Chu Feiyuan, are Gong Hangwen, are all the scum of this world.

And not these Military Officers.

Zhou Lu is pitiful, but also hateful!

Chen Yan gripped the Malice Crystal in his hand, gripped it tight, and rolling power poured into it.

Waves of Golden Light erupted upon his body.

"If you want to assist him, why not go and execute Gong Hangwen?"

Long winds erupted from Chen Yan's Frost Mo; as he opened them wide, streams of light like molten gold surged out from the corners of his eyes, continuously venting into the air.

With one person, suppressing the Malice.

His entire body's power was surging, erupting, and rising.

He felt he had been insulted.

Could it be that in the face of pure power, the world's right and wrong no longer matter?

Perhaps the world does not foster either side of right or wrong.

It is just that the wrong things have not yet disappeared.

Chen Yan's Frost Mo flowed with gold.

【Heavenly Patrol】, activate!

The confrontation with the Malice Crystal in his hand became a confrontation of power, a confrontation of right and wrong, and a confrontation of will.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Shockwaves burst forth.

Those strands of Malice extending outward were blocked by Chen Yan alone.

At night, the Ancient Beasts that were constantly screaming became low and subdued the moment they were excited, their Beast Eyes filled with Scream.

Lu Xiliang was stunned:

"What the hell is going on, what the fuck is going on!"

He stared blankly at Shen Yiwei.

Say something, why don't you.

Am I even a person?

Am I, the fuck, a person?

Shouldn't you explain something?

"Settle down everyone, it's fine now!" Shen Yiwei turned his head and looked at the crowd.

The crowd wanted to speak but hesitated, yet they could guess a thing or two.

Everyone had come out, only that Youth named Chen Yan was still inside.

The strange phenomenon manifesting now was likely that Youth confronting the Malice Crystal alone.

"He's crazy!"

Song Yinchen parted her lips slightly, her Frost Mo filled with shock and confusion as she looked at Shen Youning:

"Is this how you all in Yunmeng City's New Dragon Guard cultivate Heavenly Pride?"

The crowd looked at Shen Youning, and one by one they realized, feeling immensely horrified.

Shen Youning did not answer and sat down cross-legged on her own.

Zhan Hun and the others behind her did not know how to answer either.

They wanted to know too.

"Chen Yan is different," Li Qingyuan spoke up; Chen Yan and he both came from the True Martial Class.

Every step he has taken has been legendary to the extreme.

"Shen Yiwei, Chen Yan is still just a Youth after all, be careful," Lu Xiliang said in a low voice.

Shen Yiwei nodded, but the shock hidden deep in his pupils was no less than anyone else's.

He also had not expected that Chen Yan was actually using the Malice to strengthen himself at this moment.

Yet, inside that Stone Chamber.

Chen Yan sat cross-legged like a molten Golden Light Great Sun.

【Heavenly Patrol】 was opened.

Strands of Qi circulated through his limbs and Skeleton.

It seemed as if a tug-of-war had unfolded between him and the Malice Crystal.

The Malice Crystal was eroding Chen Yan's will, and Chen Yan was also using everything he had to try and shatter this viscous Malice.

Within the Po Saint Realm.

Green Light, Orange Light, and Golden Light were constantly surging.

All over his body, all One Hundred Thirteen Extreme Duan Patterns appeared.

Yet, beyond these One Hundred Thirteen Extreme Duan Patterns, another Force Pattern resembling a coiled dragon appeared.

Chen Yan's body erupted with sweat, but it was evaporated into water vapor the next moment.

Inside the Po Saint Realm, the soaring Ancient Tree was wrapped in Three-Colored Radiance.

The three Fruits of 【Force Array】, 【Technique】, and body began to grow visibly to the naked eye.

【Break-Saint Tree (Level Five): 1/50

Force: 57/100

Blood: 23/100

Technique: 23/100

Body: 65/100

Array: 1/100

Origin: 0/100】

Chen Yan's Brain shook.

If one said the matter of Zhou Lu did not move him, that would be a lie.

He did not want to let himself face those things like Zhou Lu.

But he understood that some Beast, only by killing them could it be done.

You say so, right, Gong Hangwen?

Buzz!

In Chen Yan's palm, a brilliant radiance flickered, all the Golden Light gathering into a single point at the very center.

He was entering the Dao, tempering himself, and also seeking his own path.

Upon his Chest, brand new Grain Marks were condensing at this moment.

With his entire body's Tendon, Bone, and Skin present, Chen Yan became even stronger as he continuously operated the Heavenly Patrol.

This was a journey of shedding one's mortal body and exchanging one's bones.

One Hundred Fourteen Extreme Duan Patterns!

One Hundred Fifteen Extreme Duan Patterns!

…………

One Hundred Twenty Extreme Duan Patterns!

…………

One Hundred Twenty-Five Extreme Duan Patterns!

The Grain Marks all over Chen Yan's body grew more numerous, and the majesty belonging to him grew increasingly intense.

In his palm, that Malice Crystal erupting with Black Light continuously overflowed with dense Malice.

Yet, it was all received by Chen Yan.

This was an extremely long journey.

Time passed slowly.

When the new morning sun appeared.

The Military Officers of the two great military guards of Yixian City and Yunmeng City each returned.

Song Yinchen sat in a military vehicle, gazing at the Mountain Cave blocked by more and more vegetation.

Mu Guang was complex.

That Youth named Chen Yan was currently doing things they wouldn't even dare to imagine.

…………

The Senlin returned to its original tranquility.

Following that, the sunset fell, and Midnight arrived.

Yunmeng City remained in tranquility; who could know that someone was within the distant Senlin, fighting Malice alone.

A new day arrived once again.

Si Wenyi arrived and saw Shen Yiwei sitting quietly cross-legged before the Mountain Cave.

"You aren't at the Martial Officer, it's going crazy over there." Si Wenyi spoke, and before Shen Yiwei could answer, continued:

"Is he inside?"

Shen Yiwei nodded.

"Then you continue to keep watch."

Shen Yiwei was speechless.

Inside the Stone Chamber, Chen Yan slowly opened his eyes.

The exhaustion within his body made it difficult for him to even steady his form.

If one spoke of battle, it seemed long, but in reality, a single battle only lasted ten-plus minutes.

After Chen Yan activated the Heavenly Patrol, he would very quickly deactivate it.

But this time was different.

The activation lasting two full days was simply a slow torture to the body.

【Break-Saint Tree (Level Five): 1/50

Force: 100/100

Blood: 24/100

Technique: 97/100

Body: 93/100

Array: 1/100

Origin: 0/100】

The Strength Character Po Saint Fruit had matured.

Chen Yan's face held no joy.

Zhou Lu did not have a Break-Saint Tree; the world did not give him the opportunity.

"Break-Saint Tree, you appeared by my side, you must want me to help you do something."

Chen Yan whispered in his heart.

He swallowed that Sacred Fruit in one gulp.

On Chen Yan's Chest, the number of Force Patterns, which had already reached thirty, increased once again.

Thirty-one!

Thirty-two!

Thirty-three!

……

Thirty-five!

Buzz!

A profound and mysterious sound suddenly rang out.

A feeling of touching the rules of the Dao instantly washed through the depths of Chen Yan's heart, constantly shimmering and echoing.

Time seemed to grow quiet.

Outside the Mountain Cave, Shen Yiwei's pupils widened to their maximum in an instant.

Boom!

Suddenly, a bell toll rang out, sounding like the rhythm of the earth itself.

The Thirty-Sixth Power Pattern!

Chen Yan's pupils trembled.

His entire body's muscles surged, erupting with power like a volcanic eruption.

At this moment, he shattered the barrier of the rules once again!

A buzzing sound rang incessantly in his ears.

The entire Mountain Cave was trembling violently.

Shen Yiwei's Mu Guang trembled; he could feel the terrifying power overflowing from Chen Yan at this moment!

Thirty-six Power Patterns!

The achievement his teacher Lu Xunyang had reached back in the day.

A total Extreme Pattern Count of one hundred and forty-four, with thirty-six each for Tendon, Bone, Skin, and Power!

Shen Yiwei's scalp went numb.

He had originally thought that no one in this world would be able to reach this level for at least a thousand years.

Today, he had seen it.

Boom!

Shen Yiwei's figure flickered, appearing before the Stone Chamber.

Yet he saw Chen Yan standing alone, and the Malice Crystal before him was trembling violently, moving away from Chen Yan.

"Enough, Chen Yan, that is enough!"

Shen Yiwei gave a Low Roar:

"I will handle the Malice Crystal!"

Rumble!

The mountain stone cracked, and rubble kept rolling down.

Chen Yan looked at Shen Yiwei with a pair of calm eyes:

"Vice Chief Shen, it was you who asked me to handle this place."

Shen Yiwei's Mu Guang shrank suddenly.

You really got it wrong!

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Chen Yan suddenly arch his body slightly, retract his right Fist, and store power.

Within the space, streams of light rotated and condensed from the surface of Chen Yan's Fist.

A shocking aura erupted instantly.

A wave of Oscillating Fist Intent erupted!

The Fist Intent, rising in grade!

Second Grade Fist Intent!

Feeling that sense of Horizontal Push, Shen Yiwei gritted his teeth.

Following that, this Fist Intent intertwined, mixed, and compressed with the energy Chen Yan had condensed!

"This is the Horizontal Refinement Martial Arts I created myself."

Chen Yan spoke in a low voice, and an egg-sized ball of light appeared on his right Fist.

Immediately after, Ink Patterns appeared on the ball of light, connecting into Array Patterns that were profound to the extreme.

Bang bang bang!

A thick and powerful Rumble was triggered from within this ball of light, sounding like the sea crashing against reefs, resonant and powerful.

Chen Yan's pupils met the gaze of that Malice Crystal.

Afterwards, he threw a punch.

Boom!

The violent Rumble completely shattered the tranquility of Qingshan.

Rings of Dust waves erupted instantly, immediately blowing away Si Wenyi who was standing outside the Mountain Cave.

With a thud.

It was as if the Earth Vein were trembling.

The entire Mountain Cave collapsed instantly.

Si Wenyi's pupils were filled with shock, and she hurriedly lay flat on the ground to avoid being hit by the air waves.

Yet after a long while, the air waves Disappear.

Si Wenyi patted the Dust off her Crown, just about to get up.

A Youth wearing Black Clothes appeared out of nowhere and reached out a hand to her.

The Youth stood with the sun at his back, his facial features hidden in pitch-black darkness under the glaring sunlight, and the tips of his hair reflected the light, looking exceptionally crystalline.

"Sorry, Siwen Jie."

The Youth's voice was very clear.

But what surprised Si Wenyi was.

Within this voice was a gentleness that had been difficult to express beneath the reserve of the past.

Looking at the Youth, Si Wenyi felt somewhat dazed.

The other party's attitude was clearly so soft, yet for some reason, it felt as if they were even further away from each other.

So far, that they could not be seen clearly.
