Chapter 176: Diving into the Abyss!

At the same time.

Lao City.

Tianjiao Trial.

The Blood Red earth stretched to the horizon, scorching and desolate.

Broken swords and shattered knives stood like a forest of thorns, stuck haphazardly into this scorched earth, mottled with rust, exuding endless bleakness.

Atop the Giant Mountain in the very center, a broken sword and a broken knife were stuck diagonally into the mountain crown, and Space Ripples flowed out from the broken sword and broken knife.

Figures walked upon this desolate earth, covered in blood, in extreme agony.

With every step they took toward the center of the valley, their injuries increased by a fraction.

The power of suppression contained within the air grew ever more immense.

This power of suppression did not look at strength, only at willpower.

The handsome Youth in White Clothes had a gaze that was extremely indifferent; although Blood Traces split open across his face, he regarded them as nothing.

"Chen Min, Chen Min, does it not hurt?"

All around, a Youth collapsed to the ground, looking at that figure with a sense of despair.

"Hurt?"

The White-robed Youth looked over with indifferent Pupil color:

"A bunch of trash."

Chen Min's speed was extremely fast, and the power of suppression coming from the center of the valley grew more terrifying.

Clang, clang, clang!!!

The sound of bones breaking rang out one after another.

Chen Min's limbs began to deform, his Flesh shattered, and broken bone spurs pierced out from within his Flesh.

His Foot was ruined.

But the White-robed Youth still stepped forward step by step, as if he had never suffered the hardships of the Outer Realm.

"I do not believe there is anything that can stop me."

Blood flowed from the corner of his Mouth, yet Chen Min looked toward a Woman in the distance whose White Skirt was stained red with blood:

"You are the same."

That Woman's expression stiffened slightly, then she gritted her Silver Tooth and continued to climb toward the Mountain.

"What a pity..." Chen Min shook his head:

"Are you the only one who came over?

I had thought you would all come to stop me; I did not expect that there would be so few with courage."

Outside the Tianjiao Trial.

On the giant Monitoring Screen, the leaderboard for the Second Trial, the Thousand Fathoms Pass, was displayed.

Chen Min alone stood high in the first position.

On the side of the Martial Officer Town.

Luo Puxin narrowed his eyes.

He knew exactly what level of effort was required to achieve such a score.

"Lao Luo, what is wrong with you?"

Beside him, someone asked.

"Nothing." Luo Puxin spoke, then said with some hesitation:

"This Chen Min, what level has he reached now?"

The surroundings were silent.

Someone spoke in a low voice:

"The Son of the Invincible Son, what do you think?"

Luo Puxin nodded:

"Then what level has his SoulRefining quality reached?"

The crowd was silent, but someone suddenly whispered:

"Don't ask!"

The person who spoke was none other than the Vice Chief of the Martial Officer Town sitting to the side.

The other party stared at Luo Puxin and gave a gesture to be quiet, but then whispered:

"I can only say... my guess is, Azure Dome Grade."

Luo Puxin's Pupil light trembled.

How did he dare?

Was he not afraid of his body exploding?

…………

Slap, slap!

Two slaps completely woke Shao Hengyang up.

Shao Hengyang shook his Brain fiercely, then looked at Chen Yan in astonishment.

"Did you hear clearly what I just said?" Chen Yan asked.

"Mm... mm!"

Shao Hengyang looked at Chen Yan's right hand and pursed his lips:

"Actually, I also discovered a trace of abnormality, but that powerful Spear Intent kept affecting me, and I actually..."

Shao Hengyang sighed; even he had been affected.

"It's fine, you can go tell the other teammates that I plan to go to the Lake Heart of Yanyang Liechi; there should be more Blazing Sun Fertilizer there."

Chen Yan spoke, withdrawing his right hand that had just been about to raise.

Shao Hengyang's Mu Jin flickered, his gaze shifting constantly between Chen Yan's face and Chen Yan's right hand.

"Then I will familiarize myself with the Blazing Sun Tree Pattern first; you found this yourself, so it is easy to learn while you find and perfect it.

But giving me such a complex pattern all at once, I still need to spend some time."

Chen Yan nodded and turned to leave.

"Many thanks!" Shao Hengyang said.

"We are all teammates." Chen Yan laughed and waved his hand:

"If you see Xu Di and the others, remember to tell them."

"Will do!" Shao Hengyang laughed:

"Xu Di is probably also suffering from great Malice influence right now."

…………

Everything settled, Chen Yan began his Cultivation Technique.

He did not go to find Chen Teng and Chen Ning; now, becoming stronger himself was the most important thing.

While swimming, Chen Yan absorbed Blazing Sun Fertilizer.

A grab with one hand, and it was absorbed in an instant.

Rolling Qi Blood Energy poured into his Divine Organ, into his brain; every gully, every particle was Casting Min Zhe Qi Xue.

Xiaomei had given him four hundred pieces of Blazing Sun Fertilizer, and Chen Yan had six hundred pieces himself.

Added together, that was one thousand pieces.

"Still not enough, still not enough."

Chen Yan let out a low shout and threw a punch; the fire waves at the Lake Bottom trembled, and pieces of Blazing Sun Fertilizer hidden within the Lake Bottom were shaken out, then collected by Chen Yan.

Absorb!

The Divine Organ Storage Degree soared even higher!

8!

9!

10!

……

15!

……

24!

25!

Twenty-five!

This was equivalent to a one hundred and seventy-five percent increase in Chen Yan's overall SoulRefining strength before he opened his Divine Organ!

Boom—!

A tremor exploded from within Chen Yan's body.

As he approached the center of Yanyang Liechi, the temperature of the flames from all around rose higher and higher!

More and more terrifying!

Even with Chen Yan using Heavenly Patrol, it was difficult to sustain it for more than twenty minutes.

But at this moment, Chen Yan's Mu Jin was extremely calm, and upon his body, which was shrouded in Golden Light, strands of white light like dragons surged.

As two wisps of misty Ice Seal flowed out from the corners of his Pupil.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

The sound of freezing!

In an instant, bursts of terrifying Ice Seal erupted from around Chen Yan, overflowing and dispersing the fire waves.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Ice and fire collided, and the sound of corrosion instantly rang out; the Fire Lake for a hundred meters around was rising with Black Smoke.

The SoulRefining from the Divine Organ was constantly poured out and constantly deployed.

Chen Yan's entire body was alternating and flickering between ice and fire.

"Continue!"

Chen Yan grabbed with one hand, and two pieces of Blazing Sun Fertilizer appeared in his Mouth.

He needed to become strong more rapidly!

The path of the Divine Organ?

Is it very difficult?

Is it as difficult as him reaching the Cultivation Realm Limit of the Flesh?

Crack!

A piece of Blazing Sun Fertilizer was stuffed directly into his Mouth by him, and he chewed it with a crack!

His thoughts turned, and the massive Blazing Sun Tree Pattern instantly appeared upon Chen Yan's body.

The head was the tree crown, the body was the tree trunk, and the Foot was the root.

The body was the Array!

Chen Yan himself could condense an Earth Vein Grade Protective Pattern!

It is, in itself, using the Flesh as an Array Disk.

Now, it is being unleashed once again.

Not difficult!

Not difficult at all!

Two streams of blood flow out from Chen Yan's Nose.

But they are ignored by Chen Yan, who is currently caught between calmness and madness.

His Brain is Casting SoulRefining, thinking about the Qi Blood Cultivation Technique, and at this moment, condensing an Array Disk.

At this moment, operating at high intensity!

Chen Yan does not care.

"Do they not understand?"

He murmurs.

He does not want to see the worried Manner of his father and sister again.

He does not want to see things that disgust him again.

"It is not them forcing me; it is I who am forcing them!"

Boom!

Cold Intent erupts.

The Blazing Sun Tree Pattern covering his body erupts with a terrifying suction force!

Chen Yan waves one hand, and every piece of Blazing Sun Fertilizer inside his Space Ring is poured out!

Piled up in front of him like a small Mountain!

He stretches his Arms, as if embracing the entire world, as if taking on all hostility.

Boom!

In an instant.

Streams of fiery Color light burst forth from each piece of Blazing Sun Fertilizer, converging toward Chen Yan.

The fiery Color rotates, like an inverted Vortex.

It is contained by Chen Yan's Flesh, transformed, and absorbed!

Clang!

Ice Walls protect this entire strange scene, allowing Chen Yan to absorb energy with his whole heart and soul.

Madly Casting!

Manifesting on the outside.

That is the rapid rise of Chen Yan's ranking.

Outer Realm.

"This... what is going on!"

"What exactly is Blazing Sun Fertilizer? Is Chen Yan drinking water?"

"So fast, third place, second place!"

"So strong, isn't he being hunted down!"

"Poxiao General Star, this is the Poxiao General Star!"

Sounds of shock ring out one after another.

Yet, on the huge Monitoring Screen in the Outer Realm.

Chen Yan's ranking surpasses fourth-place Huo Tingnan and third-place Li Mengsheng in almost an instant.

Chen Yuhu has only just blinked.

Chen Yan has already surpassed second-place Shao Hengyang.

Immediately after, the surroundings fall silent.

Everyone watches the number behind Chen Yan's ranking.

The quantity of Blazing Sun Fertilizer is increasing rapidly.

At a certain moment.

He surpasses the original First Place, Dantai Juntuo!

Gulp.

It is unknown who is swallowing their saliva.

Pairs of eyes stare fixedly.

Chen Yan has astonishingly become the First Place.

Inside the Warship, Gong Hangwen slowly stands up, frowning, his gaze fixed only on that one name.

Shen Yiwei also finds his breath stifled, his Fists clenching involuntarily for a moment.

Yet, even though Chen Yan has already become first.

The quantity of Blazing Sun Fertilizer behind his ranking is still...

Increasing rapidly.

When second-place Dantai Juntuo is still at the 301st piece.

Chen Yan has already consumed up to the 308th piece.

Immediately after, second-place Dantai Juntuo consumes up to the 303rd piece.

Chen Yan has already consumed up to the 313th piece!

A consumption speed several times higher!

Too fast!

It's just like someone who has been slowly pushing a cart up a mountain, finally reaching the peak, and now starting to speed!

"He is eating the Blazing Sun Fertilizer."

Zhan Hun watched, stunned; all of them, the eliminated contestants, knew that the Blazing Sun Fertilizer was used to feed that Pseudo Ancient Divine Beast.

The more that is consumed, the greater the Malice one might encounter.

But this, with Chen Yan...

It is clearly different.

Even that Pseudo Ancient Divine Beast doesn't eat this fast.

Xu Di watched in a daze, unable to say a word for a long while.

He glanced at his Sister beside him and whispered:

"What do you think of Chen Yan?"

Upon hearing this, Sister instantly blushed.

"Don't you get any ideas; your sister is going to marry me," Zhan Hun interjected from the side.

"Let's go!"

Xu Di barked.

"Do what?"

"Go to a duel, a life-and-death duel!" Xu Di's Mu Jin was extremely Fierce Light.

…………

Chen Yan was covered in blood.

His cultivation was breaking limits!

His Flesh was breaking limits!

His thinking was breaking limits!

Constantly conceiving, constantly absorbing, constantly Casting!

One hundred thoughts per second!

Casting, checking the brain, supervising the method of Casting!

Blood inevitably flowed from his Nose, and his body inevitably wailed.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

Streams of Ice Seal twisted and shattered the surrounding waves of fire like long dragons.

Fire and Ice Seal churned together, forming thick, pitch-black liquid, and the sound of rumbling echoed densely.

"He is courting death!"

Inside the Light Curtain, Xia Hanzhou let out a low shout.

No one cultivates like this.

You are Casting, Casting the Divine Organ.

Even if you excavate the Divine Organ very well, such rapid Casting really makes it easy to die suddenly.

Boom!

A terrifying roar exploded from the Lake Bottom, and rings upon rings of vibrating fire waves shot out.

Xia Hanzhou instantly froze and hurriedly looked over.

He saw the Black Ink Robes Youth, calm in expression, looking at his own hands and whispering:

"Not enough!"

Xia Hanzhou was completely speechless.

All the Blazing Sun Fertilizer had been used up.

Chen Yan swallowed five 【Blood】 Break-Saint Fruit in one breath.

As the Blazing Sun Fertilizer is eaten to the end, the effect it can exert becomes smaller and smaller.

Even so, Chen Yan's Divine Organ Storage Degree had reached sixty percent!

"Not enough, not enough!"

Chen Yan shouted, his body rising.

The Blazing Sun Tree Pattern all over his body erupted with rolling light, and the terrifying Min Zhe Qi Xue covered his body, suppressing the fire waves.

In the Hupai Shenhu, pieces of Blazing Sun Fertilizer hidden in the Jiaozhu soil seemed to be attracted, flying toward Chen Yan.

At this moment, the Lake Heart was stirred into constant tremors.

"Nonsense!"

Xia Hanzhou shouted.

"Why don't you go and stop him?" the Masked Man asked in Silence.

"Not stopping him."

Xia Hanzhou waved his hand, but his gaze remained fixed on Chen Yan.

Suddenly, his expression finally changed:

"Damn it!"

He saw that in the depths of the Lake Heart,

there stood a Xiao Yuan that had been corroded by the Huo Hai for who knows how many years.

The walls were Jiaozhu and mottled, the brackets under the eaves were crumbling layer by layer, and the dilapidated gate looked as if it could be broken with a touch.

Originally, Xia Hanzhou hadn't paid much attention to it.

This Xiao Yuan is dilapidated, yet it is actually exceptionally sturdy.

Chen Yan would at most pass by it; he should never dream of entering it in his entire life.

As it turned out, the Youth named Chen Yan took out a Kaishi.

Xia Hanzhou's expression finally underwent a change.

So this Kaishi had been given to Chen Yan by Xia Chiyi.

On what grounds?

On what grounds did you give my things to someone else after I raised you for so long?

"Do you want me to snatch it back?" the Masked Man spoke.

After all, Xia Hanzhou detested the Chen clan immensely...

However, at this moment, Xia Hanzhou fell into Silence.

The next moment.

Crack!

The courtyard gate opened.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!!!

Profound and mysterious sounds resonated, piercing through the entire Yanyang Liechi.

Endless pressure struck instantly.

A Light Pillar shot straight into the Sky, striking the Great Array of the Five Clans, incomparably brilliant.

The blood-stained Abyss, at this moment, revealed itself to the Human Realm.

Suddenly, the entire Yanyang Liechi boiled, and everyone was alarmed.

PS: Writer's block, two chapters today.

The Tianjiao Trial seems to start at five hundred thousand words, but in fact, it began at over one hundred thousand words.

Actually, the core is about the Slaughter of Malice, which is the beginning of the protagonist's Martial Dao path.

The development of the Infinite Fruit—the Colorless Fruit, the true meaning of breaking the limit.
