Chapter 197: One Thousand Pieces

The sound of a sentence fell.

Chen Min's body froze in place.

Within the White Mist.

The Red Skirt Woman's expression was strained; she could no longer support her own Yin-Zhe from being extracted by Chen Min.

At this moment, she looked toward where Chen Yan was.

Blood Traces appeared one after another on her body, and the Red Skirt Woman breathed with a sense of distress, her red lips parting:

"Who are you? You are not a person of the Five Clans, right?"

Her pupils trembled, and she felt shock in her heart.

But a greater fear assailed her.

This person, so powerful, was a good thing.

But where, exactly, did the other party come from?

A genius capable of contending with Chen Min to this degree should not be an unknown person.

…………

Living with all one's might.

Chen Yan looked at his own hands, which were covered in cracks.

Having experienced the journey thus far, he had been circling and struggling between exhaustion and his Limit.

But when he spoke this sentence, it seemed filled with endless Life Force.

A giant dragon circled above his head, the Ice Dragon and the dragon formed by the White Mist tearing at each other.

This was the manifestation of the scene of Chen Yan and Chen Min slaughtering each other.

The dragon's eyes were like ice souls, and it danced its dragon claws, as if it could tear through the void.

Every pounce was like an Ice Seal blade slashing down, imposing and fierce, shattering the body of the White Mist Dragon and turning it into wisps.

The White Mist Dragon's pounce was even more ferocious, its dragon body coiling around the Ice Dragon.

The seemingly mist-like, powerless dragon claws were actually able to penetrate the Ice Dragon's body, prying open piece after piece of cold iron dragon scales, Ice Crystals shattering, brimming with awe-inspiring power.

Roar!

The two dragons tore and devoured each other, and the high sky shook incessantly.

Boom, boom, boom!

Clusters of Ice Crystals and White Mist scattered.

Where the two dragons devoured each other, circles of invisible spherical ice-mist ripples constantly exploded.

Chen Yu stood alone on the Array Disk, her watery pupils filled with shock and worry.

In the Consciousness World, the usually calm Red Skirt Woman froze at this moment, her red lips Kaiyuan, as if she could swallow an egg.

An Consciousness Avatar originally formed from a remnant Divine Soul, she now had goosebumps all over her body as if she were real flesh, and her Mu Jin became extremely strained.

Such terrifying Cold Intent...

It is an Azure Dome Grade Ice Seal Element!

And the one releasing the Ice Seal Element is not Bing Yi, but her disciple's Lao Ge.

No.

It is Bing Yi.

A more powerful Bing Yi.

And Chen Yan is Bing Yi.

The one who has always dominated the Tianbei Fist Tournament is Chen Yan.

The person who displayed powerful SoulRefining strength is Chen Yan.

The one who was assassinated by the Lao City Chen and entered the Tianbei Fist Tournament alone to investigate the person who assassinated him is also Chen Yan.

The other party is not only skilled in Horizontal Refinement and Array, but also skilled in SoulRefining.

And at this moment, what is this scene of the two dragons devouring each other?

The Red Skirt Woman's body was stiff.

She naturally could not see the White Mist that Chen Yan could see, but she could guess something.

He hid it So Ruthless.

"Xiaoyu, your Brother..." the Red Skirt Woman's voice was somewhat stuttering:

"Your Brother is engaged in a struggle to break his Limit with Chen Min of Lao City."

She said it with extreme difficulty.

But her voice fell into the Lake of Chen Yu's heart like a giant stone.

The young girl, no more than fifteen years old, first had a flash of unbelievable shock in her eyes, then her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her face turned pale.

"Brother... can I help you?" she asked again, stunned.

She felt somewhat helpless, knowing that the crisis her Brother had encountered was beyond her imagination.

A dry emotion surged in her heart.

She did not know what she could do.

All of a sudden, it made Shen Keqing, who was high in the sky, Stun.

A flash of astonishment crossed the eyes of Xia Hanzhou within the Light Curtain.

These two were actually siblings!

If both siblings could be so Cai Neng Jue Yan, their Parents were likely not ordinary people.

This thought only flashed through Xia Hanzhou's mind for a moment; now, he had no heart to think about these things.

Glancing at the scene of the two dragons devouring each other high above, Xia Hanzhou's Mu Guang turned stern.

Although the Ice Dragon representing Chen Yan possessed terrifying might, the Yun Xu giant dragon, while appearing light and powerless, struck with such Fierce Light that it had nearly shredded all of the Ice Dragon's scales.

Xia Hanzhou breathed heavily.

He could not see the White Mist; the White Mist was a form of communication between those who had reached the Limit, and outsiders naturally could not see it.

But those in the Outer Realm could guess just how intense this struggle had become by observing the scene of the two dragons devouring each other.

Chen Min of Lao City was indeed outstanding.

But Chen Yan's current state was even more of a problem.

Chen Yan's current Casting Degree of his Spirit organs had not even reached one hundred percent.

The struggle to reach the Limit was a contest of SoulRefining talent, a contest of will, and a contest of Cultivation Realm.

Ultimately, the contest of will was the greatest influencing factor.

But the problem was.

Chen Yan's will was indeed powerful, but because of other matters, he had already reached his Limit.

Xia Hanzhou did not understand.

It was as if Chen Yan were intentionally letting himself reach this state.

He continued to look downward.

The Youth stood tall like a sturdy pine, his Black Clothes snapping in the Wind Element, as he looked toward his Sister:

"Be good, just stay there, don't come over."

Chen Yu's body stiffened for a moment, appearing to complain, but she still listened to Chen Yan's words.

"The path of Martial Dao is a struggle against others, a struggle against the world, and even more so, a path to seek one's self."

The Youth murmured, crouching down to meet the gaze of the Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast beneath the Ice Surface:

"Blindly being strong has no meaning."

High Heaven, the Ice Dragon let out a low groan as its body was shredded by the dragon of White Mist, and Ice Crystal splashed everywhere.

Yet, Chen Yan's Mu Jin was extremely calm.

It was as if he were speaking to Chen Yu, and also as if he were speaking to himself.

Clang!

Beneath his Foot, the thick Bing Liang was now having cracks spread across it incessantly.

"Lu-lu-lu..."

Inside the Ice Chamber, the Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast trembled all over, with pitch-black, sticky bubbles of saliva churning on her goat Mouth.

She seemed excited, waiting for the Ice Surface to shatter completely.

All over her body, hundreds and thousands of eyes containing extreme Malice were twisted as they stared at Chen Yan.

Clang, clang, clang, clang...

The Element energy of the Ice Silkworm had been completely absorbed by Chen Yan, and this Ice Chamber existed in name only.

Waves of Malice seeped out from the cracks in the Bing Liang, causing Chen Yu's expression to turn ugly.

She could see that her Lao Ge had already reached his Limit.

But she could see even more clearly that her Lao Ge was walking toward an even more terrifying danger.

High above.

Shen Keqing's figure flickered, about to instantly suppress and kill that Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast.

"Wait..."

Xia Hanzhou's voice rang out.

Shen Keqing frowned and looked over, only to see the Elder's expression was complex:

"Haven't you noticed?"

"What?"

Xia Hanzhou let out a long, turbid breath:

"This Chen Yan has been heading north all along; the Ice Seal Element within the Ice Silkworm was not his final goal—his final goal is this Ancient Divine Beast."

Shen Keqing's red lips trembled slightly:

"What nonsense are you spouting? He is already in this state; how could he possibly have the ability to kill that Ancient Divine Beast?"

Xia Hanzhou let out a low grunt:

"I don't know, but he said before that he had no interest in the struggle to reach the Limit; he has more important things to do!"

The Elder clenched his Fists tightly, staring fixedly at this Ji Xing of the Great Xia.

What are you trying to do?

How old are you, anyway?

Why can I not even understand what you are trying to do?

"Someone come!" Xia Hanzhou suddenly shouted.

"Here!"

Outside the room, a respectful voice sounded.

Xia Hanzhou spoke again:

"Go and invite the Sovereign!"

"The Sovereign?!" The person outside sounded astonished.

"Yes, go and invite the Sovereign!"

Xia Hanzhou said in a low voice:

"Just say, King Xia Yue invited him to observe his Dawn Ji Xing!"

…………

His voice fell.

Crack!

A sound of shattering erupted suddenly upon the Ice Surface.

Screech!

A sharp, shrill cry suddenly rang out.

As the ice shattered, that Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast suddenly transformed into a mass of sticky black sludge, upon which eyeballs flickered with strange Laughter, charging toward Chen Yan!

"Be careful, Brother!" Chen Yu hurriedly spoke, feeling this suddenly encroaching Malice, her voice becoming incomparably sharp.

Just as Chen Yu shouted this, that black water, sticky with countless eyeballs, had already rushed to within an inch of Chen Yan.

Even Shen Keqing, high above in the sky, had already prepared to make a move.

With a boom!

Chen Yan kicked out, and a mass of Golden Light exploded between the contact of his Foot and the black water, as if clusters of Golden Light were being squeezed out from within Chen Yan's body.

It forced the black water back, even directly crushing several eyeballs that were grinning wildly.

Screech!

A sharp, shrill cry rang out.

This pool of black water was kicked back into the Ice Chamber by Chen Yan, transforming back into the figure of the Mountain Goat.

Immediately following, strip-like objects resembling Tentacles, covered in eyes, shot out from the Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast, binding Chen Yan like an octopus.

In the distance, Chen Yu was about to rush over, resisting the powerful Malice.

Yet she saw Chen Yan, who was being pulled toward the Ice Chamber by the Tentacles, wearing a Smile, as if enjoying the current Malice, looking at Chen Yu:

"Be good, she and I are going to have a heart-to-heart."

Chen Yu's body froze, and Chen Yan waved a hand, Min Zhe Qi Xue overflowing, and a thick layer of solid ice grew once more on the shattered Ice Surface.

It actually sealed him and the Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast inside.

Following that, the Tentacles pulled Chen Yan into the Ice Chamber.

Malice!

Rolling Malice completely bound Chen Yan at this moment.

Rustling whispers suddenly surged toward Chen Yan.

The body of the Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast suddenly twisted, stretched, and turned back into a pool of black water covered in countless eyes.

It sought to envelop Chen Yan from all directions.

Influenced by the Malice, Chen Yan's body began to blur and twist.

The body seemed to be mutating, as if growing one eyeball after another, and then each eyeball turned into a hand, and then into a flower.

The world rules enveloping Chen Yan even began to change.

High in the sky, the battle between the Ice Dragon and the White Mist dragon continued.

But everyone here could no longer pay attention to it.

They stared fixedly at Chen Yan.

Chen Yu covered her red lips.

She saw Chen Yan's current transformation, but she also clearly understood that this was the path her Brother had chosen himself.

She did not understand, only feeling a bitter difficulty.

Everyone can be shocked by your invincibility, but your loved ones will always worry about the hardships you encounter on the road to invincibility.

Xia Hanzhou Stood Up, his pair of weathered eyes now blooming with rays of bright light.

"Strike..." he shouted, wanting Shen Keqing to act, but stopped his mouth the next moment.

He wanted to see, he truly wanted to see.

What exactly was this Youth who broke the world rules going to do?

Malice was erupting.

Truth was disintegrating.

The Ice Dragon condensed by Chen Yan even had a sense of decay.

Everything was twisting.

Inside the Ice Chamber, the Youth enveloped by Malice had glowing Pupil light.

He felt this Malice beside him that could corrode the great world.

His whole body was trembling.

In his Brain, it seemed as if voices were ringing out one after another.

"Chen Yan, save me."

That was the voice of Zhou Lu.

"You... you... why did you only come now!!!"

This was the voice of that White-Robed Man at the Chu Family Base, whose name Chen Yan still did not know to this day.

"See, with strength, you really can be fearless!"

This was the voice of Luo Puxin, who had killed Chu Cang in broad daylight and walked away alone.

"I hope you also have a Red Heart."

This was the voice of Shen Yiwei.

Until the very end...

"One thousand, one thousand, one thousand..."

The Youth was inside a cage of Darkness; his voice was hoarse, his nerves were blurring, and his Brain was in Chaos.

He was shouting about one thousand.

Why did he have to shout about that one thousand?

One thousand!

One thousand!

This insignificant one thousand seemed to carry the weight of Chen Yan's entire life.
