Chapter 198: Listen, the Saint-Breaking Tree is Whispering

~17 min read 3,312 words

The will reached its true limit.

The Yin Zhe within his body seemed unable to be controlled by Chen Yan any longer.

Even the Ice Dragon high above began to have its counterattacking movements become extremely stuttered.

Outside, Chen Yu cried out in anxiety.

Within the Consciousness World, the Red Skirt Woman also had a somewhat difficult expression.

She did not know what Chen Yan was going to do.

It was just that she had never seen anything like this.

And it was at this moment.

The Youth, bound by malice, felt his body tremble.

Buzz...

That formless pressure once again overflowed from within Chen Yan's body.

A majesty surpassing dragon might, a pressure surpassing the Imperial Family.

It was the existence of this thing that allowed Chen Yan to control the Yin Zhe so it would not be taken away by Chen Min, even when his state was extremely poor.

It was something that could not be described.

In fact, it had already existed since the day Chen Yan stormed the Gong Family and beheaded Li Hou in front of everyone.

That day, the Colorless Fruit appeared.

Until the moment Chen Yan Extreme Vein Pattern surpassed the Boundary Limit and changed the World Truth.

The Colorless Fruit grew rapidly.

This pressure was clearly grasped by Chen Yan.

This was a path that had been paved long ago.

Until this moment, it was unleashed by Chen Yan once again.

This was the purpose of his journey.

Screech!

An incomparably sharp shriek resounded.

The Black Tentacles binding Chen Yan's body loosened as if in a desperate struggle.

Turning into sticky Black Water, the Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast that had been binding Chen Yan instantly lunged outward in a frenzy.

Quiet!

Chen Yu was stunned.

Shen Keqing quickly furrowed her brows.

Xia Hanzhou looked as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Inside the Ice Chamber.

The Black-Clothed Youth landed, yet now he walked slowly toward the Black Water.

He reached out his hand toward the Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast:

"I came to this place to borrow something from you."

"Get lost!" the Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast shrieked, the Black Water it had turned into clinging to the walls of the Ice Chamber as if desperately looking for a crack to slip away.

"Get lost!!!"

She let out a Sharp Shriek, as if she had sensed something that overturned all concepts.

But the Black-Clothed Youth's footsteps did not slow; he arrived before her, and a pair of hands reached out, actually extending directly into the Black Water:

"Since you won't lend it, I will come and take it myself."

He spoke in a low voice.

Screech!!!

The Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast shrieked, and the entire pool of Black Water surged violently.

It was as if its Flesh and Tendons were being forcibly ripped away.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The Black Water boiled, and every eye upon it was twisted in Scream.

"What are you doing!!!"

An aged voice rang out.

At this moment, it was Xia Hanzhou who spoke again:

"You are absorbing malice, are you seeking death!?"

Xia Hanzhou could no longer sit still.

He had previously been shocked by the threat Chen Yan posed to the Ancient Divine Beast.

But what Chen Yan was doing at this moment made him unable to watch any longer.

Chen Yan was absorbing malice!

Could it be that Chen Yan had come all this way just to become an Ancient Divine Beast?

He did not believe Chen Yan would have such an idea.

But Chen Yan was doing exactly that.

High above, Chen Yu's delicate body also trembled.

Only the Youth inside the Ice Chamber was still absorbing the malice.

But Chen Yan looked over slowly, his calm manner leaving Xia Hanzhou stunned.

"So, this is the difference between me and you all."

Screech!

The screeching of the Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast grew weaker and weaker, actually carrying a sense of pleading.

Until a certain moment, the Black Water faded in color, turning into a pool of white ash that dissipated.

One by one, the Eyeballs cracked and split open.

Only the very last cyan one remained, rolling onto the ground.

Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast, dead!

Chen Yan was shrouded in pitch-black mist.

Under the difficult gazes of everyone, he just swallowed the Malice alone and slowly sat down.

He ate the Malice!

…………

Roar!

The Ice Dragon condensed by Chen Yan seemed to have completely lost its momentum, and was attacked and killed by the White Mist Dragon.

Only the last shred of Life Force was maintaining it.

This was something that happened suddenly.

Inside the White Mist.

Strands of Yun Xu condensed by Yin Zhe were extracted from the Blood Skirt Woman's body and injected into Chen Min's body.

And the Yin Zhe Aura on Chen Min's body became more and more powerful.

"What is wrong with you?!"

The Red Skirt Woman spoke, her whole body trembling and struggling, looking toward where the Newcomer was.

Chen Min's suction force intensified; on one hand, it was because Chen Min's strength was becoming increasingly powerful.

On the other hand.

It was that the Newcomer, who could originally contend with Chen Min, did not know why they could no longer display the powerful will they had before.

Now, the Newcomer could only keep their own Yin Zhe from being absorbed by Chen Min, but they were also unable to continue to fight toward Chen Min.

What on earth is wrong?

Could it be that what the other party displayed before was just a momentary burst that was difficult to maintain?

Since you could not maintain it, why use up all your strength at once?

The Red Skirt Woman's Frost Mo were bloodshot.

On the other side.

Chen Min seemed to be lost in deep thought.

The sentence the Newcomer said, "That is why I am living with all my might," kept echoing in his Brain.

In his eyes, contemplation would appear, then disdain, and then he would begin to contemplate again.

A person who dares not die is someone he looks down upon.

But in that sentence from the other party, there seemed to be a power stronger than his own heart of facing death.

Why?

I clearly hold a grand ambition, wishing to observe The World, change The World, and settle The World.

Even if I die, I am willing.

I am right.

I have seen too much injustice, I have seen too much cold-bloodedness, I have seen too much innocence and cruelty.

I have seen the Selfishness of my own kin, seen the power of the Five Clans, and also seen the cowardice of the Great Xia.

The first time, I stopped it.

The second time, the third time, the fourth time...

Father warned me, my kin complained about me, and those I helped sneered at me.

It was only after countless times that I understood.

This world is sick.

Therefore, I appeared.

I am very small, but I have a grand ambition.

The Great Xia can be destroyed, but the Human Race cannot be destroyed.

I have been telling myself that I am right.

But why...

Your lighthearted sentence, "You are living with all your might," can negate my value.

By what right!

Chen Min's Breath became somewhat unstable.

Inside his body, the transformation reached the extraordinary meridians.

The Conception Vessel changed, the Governing Vessel changed, the Thoroughfare Vessel changed!

The Girdle Vessel, the Yin Heel Vessel, the Yang Heel Vessel...

All changed!

SoulRefining flowed smoothly, the Spirit organs were clear, and the Five Viscera were like the sea!

Following that.

It reached the Yin Linking Vessel and the Yang Linking Vessel.

Yin Linking Vessel: links all the Yin.

Yang-Linking Vessel: connects all Yang.

Chen Min's SoulRefining surged; his Hundred Meridians had long been excavated, and now only the last two of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians remained.

It's just that...

Chen Min's body began to tremble.

The violent trembling even caused the extraction force felt by the Blood Skirt Woman to decrease significantly.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood was spat out from Chen Min's Mouth.

"You..."

The Red Skirt Woman exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Min, has his meridians gone into disorder?

That shouldn't be.

The other party had long since excavated the Hundred Meridians; it was impossible for meridian disorder to Exist.

But at this moment, Chen Min clearly showed signs of SoulRefining reversal.

How could she have imagined it.

The strange change in Chen Min at this moment was caused by a single sentence.

Inside the Xue Pu, Chen Min looked up, gasping for Breath.

"I understand now!"

He suddenly Roar, looking at the Newcomer who had not spoken again with extreme Shade:

"You are disturbing my Dao Heart!"

His Pupil color became extremely Fierce Light:

"You are telling me that what you have experienced is more difficult than what I have."

He took a deep Breath:

"But you, you only had your Awakening three months ago, and now you have already reached this point. You come from a noble background; how could you possibly have experienced more hardship than me!

You want to live, but have you seen this World, have you seen this Great Xia?"

Chen Min's entire body's SoulRefining erupted.

Someone wanted to destroy his grand ambition.

Yet he had clearly already achieved the ultimate!

How could the ultimate achieved in three months compare to his entire life!

…………

Roar!

Above the Lao Chen Qiong Tian, the Cloud Dragon representing Chen Min at this moment had Dragon Eyes like torches, soaring straight into the clouds.

Following that, the dragon slashed through the Azure Vault, the Cyan Darkness falling like a Spirit axe!

The dragon's Mouth opened, revealing sharp dragon Tooth, instantly biting down on the Black Dragon that had appeared abruptly.

Roar!

The Black Dragon was struck by this blow, its body trembling, and a mournful cry resounded.

Between Heaven and Earth.

Countless people looked on, their minds trembling.

The previously tense Lao Chen Invincible Son now had a slightly relaxed expression, the Wind blowing his clothes, fluttering with a rustling sound.

A Smile appeared at the corner of his Mouth.

How could a genius who appeared suddenly compare to his Son's years of accumulation?

A moment of Cai Neng Jue Yan is always just a moment.

Long-term persistence is more worthy of respect.

"Hahahaha, you scared me; I thought another dragon was going to appear, but I didn't expect it to be just a flash in the pan."

In the high sky not far away, Huang Shi Zhen Martial Officer Vice Chief Guan Ze laughed loudly, though there was still astonishment in his eyes.

"Still, one cannot underestimate the Heavenly Pride of The World; those who can enter the Limit-Breaking Struggle are all top-tier geniuses."

"Indeed, being able to threaten Chen Min for an instant is already quite good."

"True, who is this person? We must investigate carefully. Even without the Yin Zhe, their SoulRefining quality will still be many times better than ordinary Heavenly Pride."

Everyone discussed continuously.

They could not interfere in the Limit-Breaking Struggle.

Although that suddenly appearing Black Dragon was now falling into a disadvantage, it already represented that the other party was a top-tier genius.

Being able to contend with Chen Min to this extent was already considered quite good.

On the side of the Military Martial Guard.

Luo Puxin stared fixedly at the suddenly appearing Black Dragon, clenching his Fist.

He did not know if it was Chen Yan who caused the appearance of this Black Dragon.

But regardless of whether it was Chen Yan, the Black Dragon had now fallen into a disadvantage.

Luo Puxin turned around and let out a long Sigh.

Chen Yan was the top-tier genius he had ever seen.

The only problem was that Chen Yan entered the Dao too late.

One step behind, every step behind.

Even if Chen Yan was extremely hardworking, this world was ultimately too harsh on Chen Yan.

"Chen Yan..."

Luo Puxin sighed lightly.

Malice was spreading, enveloping Chen Yan's body and mind.

Waves of inexplicable coldness instantly wrapped around Chen Yan.

This coldness was not the chill of an Element, but an existence from above the soul.

Chen Yan sat alone inside the Ice Chamber, head hanging low.

The body's instinct was still guarding his own stillness.

But his consciousness was like falling into a quagmire, unable to extricate itself.

Rustling sounds arose.

Within the Darkness, something surged toward Chen Yan.

It was hundreds of millions of insects with Renshen licking Chen Yan's Skin, it was pitch-black vines wrapping around Chen Yan's consciousness.

In the endless Darkness, Chen Yan was falling continuously.

Getting colder, getting deeper.

Gradually, whispers that were hard to hear clearly arose beside Chen Yan's ears.

Grand and fragmented mixed together, Indifference and filth blended.

Unable to hear clearly, unable to see, unable to touch.

The body was like an isolated island, ultimately to drown in the vast Malice.

Endless falling.

Don't know how much time passed, tearing pain appeared on Chen Yan's body.

Eyeballs that wanted to explore the Outer Realm seemed to be growing.

In a certain moment, Chen Yan also wanted to let these Eyeballs grow out.

He wanted to see the original Manner of this world.

This was the path he chose.

The low whispers of Malice then told Chen Yan at this moment, the path you chose is ridiculous to the extreme.

Yet also at this moment when Chen Yan seemed to be falling into evil.

Chen Yan's consciousness slowly awakened from its stupor.

Inside the Po Sheng Realm, on that towering Tree.

The colorless Fruit suddenly bloomed with full radiance.

A silent hymn quietly played within the Time and Space river.

The consciousness bound by Malice was pulled awake by a certain thing remaining on Chen Yan.

Chen Yan opened his eyes.

He saw himself in the Tianjiao Trial.

He saw his whole body bound by Malice, trembling continuously, his expression seeming like fear, and also seeming like a Smile.

He saw the Ice Dragon high above still trembling violently, saw his Sister crying into a tear-stained face, frequently wanting to strike, yet frequently pausing.

The fifteen-year-old girl seemed to understand her Elder Brother was walking on an indescribable, majestic path.

Excited and worried.

Time began to backtrack.

The Youth in the Ice Chamber Stood Up, returned to the Ice Surface, he condensed the Yanyang Liechi tree pattern, and told Xia Hanzhou he had failed.

He returned to the Yanyang Liechi.

Returned to Outside the Heaven's Chosen Trial.

Returned to the eve of killing Li Hou.

Returned to before shattering the Malice Crystal.

Returned to the True Martial Class, returned to that True Martial cage that locked him away.

Returned to the Xue Xiao, staring blankly at Lu Xunyang's Bronze Statue.

Returned to a certain afternoon, he was exhausted, sitting on the Playground, clenching his Fist.

"Can I beat Zhang Qingsi who has completed the Awakening of Qi and Blood now?"

He returned to Jia Li.

Returned to the Hospital in the Town.

The recovering Bone began to shatter, the Youth wearing a hospital gown stared blankly at the ceiling.

The car accident left him covered in wounds, the high-school-aged Youth encountered a blow sufficient to destroy his life.

Father and Sister taking turns looking after him made him gradually reveal a Smile.

He still harbored expectations for the future.

Until one night, a voice came from the Corridor.

"That kid from the Chen Family, sigh..., it looks like he won't be able to stand up for the rest of his life."

This was a sentence the night-shift Nurse said unintentionally.

Yet it became a Dream in Chen Yan's heart.

He opened his Mouth wide, unstoppable force collided within his body, bringing continuous pain.

In the end, even lifting an arm was extremely difficult.

"Brother, what's wrong?" The fourteen-year-old Sister looked at her brother, whose face was ashen, and spoke with worry.

"Brother, look, what did I bring you?"

"Brother, I studied the third-year high school curriculum; let me explain it to you."

"Brother..."

Chen Yan slowly shook his head, moving his gaze away from his Sister's face.

He just stared blankly like that, for a very, very long time.

Inside the evening Corridor.

"Chen Yuhu, the overdue fees must be paid. The Hospital is only showing consideration by letting your Son stay."

"Okay... okay..."

"Also, your Son needs to change rooms, to a four-person Ward."

"Fine, no problem."

"You must pay the fees; I don't care where you go to borrow it!"

"Fine, tomorrow, I will definitely bring it tomorrow!"

Father's voice was timid and submissive.

The Mu Jin of the Youth on the Hospital Bed had long since lost its brightness.

Yet in the next moment.

"Old Chen, stop the treatment; your Son is beyond saving..."

The man who had been keeping his head down suddenly raised it, looking at the speaker with a fierce Gaze:

"What is wrong with my Son, tell me what is wrong with my Son!"

He let out a Low Roar, suppressing a surge of Anger.

He was like a Tiger that had suddenly woken up, completely the opposite of his former Manner.

The Youth's body on the Hospital Bed trembled slightly.

He only felt that at this moment, a sense of bitterness was surging within his body.

He struggled to raise his hand and placed it before his eyes.

The door opened, and Chen Yuhu looked at his Son, instantly realizing his voice had been a bit too loud just now.

"Xiaoyan, you..."

"Dad."

The Youth's body trembled, and he spoke in a blurred, unclear voice:

"I never... I never want to be like this again!"

A force seemed to be surging within his body, and that faint spark ignited in that instant.

He was struggling, questioning.

He looked toward the ceiling, his Gaze seemingly piercing through layers of concrete to see the Sky.

On that night, he roared out the loudest sound of his life.

A blade of Herb grew just like that in the place of Darkness that the Youth could not see.

Kuchong.

A blade of Herb on the verge of withering.

As the Youth stood up, the leaves of the Herb began to sway.

As he kept falling, the little Herb grew up through stumbles and bumps.

As the Youth, amidst the astonished Gaze of everyone, was finally able to walk out of the Ward on his own.

That little Herb gradually grew larger, growing a thin trunk.

The moment the Youth walked out of the Hospital, the little Herb that had grown into a small Tree was finally seen by him.

The small Tree, over a Rice and a half tall, stood alone in the mist; its trunk was slender and weak, and the scattered branches numbered only seven or eight.

Memories were dissipating, everything was Disappearing.

The Malice corroding Chen Yan seemed to be Swallowed by something, Disappearing, screaming.

Chen Yan's consciousness arrived once again at the Po Saint land, looking at that lush giant Tree, and walked over slowly.

He grasped the colorless Fruit with one hand.

"You chose me, and I chose you."

He whispered, chewing the colorless Fruit bit by bit.

His Mu Jin was calm, as if he had blown a speck of Dust away in the long river of history.

He was merely whispering to himself alone.

He was revealing their shared ambition to his Tree.

"Tian Di Yan Wo Ming, Li Wanda Shu Wo Xin, break the chains of the Ancient God, cut down the injustice of the world."

Buzz!

Listen.

The Po Saint Tree is whispering.

A new Cultivation Realm, a new Martial Dao, a new world...

Will Path, open!
