Chapter 246: Heaven and Earth Renewed, the Great World Overturned, Light Reappears, Will Stands Firm, Time Never Ceases

Chen Min stood there quietly.

Although his expression was calm, deep within his heart, it was as if an endless torrent was surging.

Hum!

The humming sound continued to play softly.

Feeling this brand-new power within his body, Chen Min gradually opened his mouth wide.

This was not physical power, not blood-Qi power, and certainly not the mysteries of martial techniques or array discs.

This was a new Martial Dao.

A Martial Dao he had never heard of before!

His emotions could not settle for a long time.

After a while, Chen Min softly uttered a name.

"Bing Yi..."

He turned around and suddenly knelt down in the direction Bing Yi had left.

"I do not know your name, but your words changed my aspirations, and your actions saved my life."

People are born proud, especially those like Chen Min.

But at this moment, Chen Min still knelt toward the front.

He was born as a Luo Chen hope, watched by the world, with a powerful will, constantly accumulating his own strength.

But after the Battle of Breaking Limits, Chen Min finally truly recognized this world and understood that he had previously been nothing more than a blade of grass growing in a fog.

"For today's grace, I, Chen Min, will repay you with a world in the future!"

He spoke in a low voice, incomparably solemn.

He stood up and grasped the broken sword that had come seeking him.

"Let's go."

Chen Min went far away.

…………

"No breaking, no establishing."

Chen Yan sped through the outskirts, his expression indifferent, and the tip representing Chen Min on the Martial Dao vein was now incomparably brilliant.

The words Chen Yan had just spoken to Chen Min were all said after careful consideration.

Will is like a tree; Chen Min's previous will had grown in the wrong soil.

To grow a new will, one must destroy the original one.

"My Dao is not alone."

Chen Yan murmured, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm.

The unstable Martial Dao vein became solid.

Brand-new tips like tree branches sprouted, constantly expanding outward into the void.

Hum!

Layers of fine spatial ripples spread outward with Chen Yan as the center, and a faint glow appeared on Chen Yan's body.

Chen Yan stopped his steps.

Countless sensations suddenly appeared in his mind.

Those were the sensations that Chen Min had once possessed.

He was born into Luo Chen, a heaven-favored child.

From the age of three, Chen Min had entered the Dao.

He had teachers in the powerful Blood-Qi path and the Hard-Refining path.

Practicing day and night, constantly honing himself.

Every time his will reached its limit and could not continue, all sorts of words would come to Chen Min's ears.

【You are Chen Min, you are the son of the Invincible One, how could you be tired?】

【You are destined to reach the pinnacle of the world, with the world crawling at your feet; continue to practice!】

【Stand up, you shouldn't be tired; you are my, Chen Changyuan's, son!】

The child Chen Min nodded; this was the ideology he had been infused with since he was small.

Everything developed very smoothly.

Chen Min finally became the cultivation robot that the people of Luo Chen wanted to see.

Even though his realm did not advance, Chen Min's combat power increased with each passing day.

Until he was five years old.

His mother died.

Five-year-old Chen Min came to his mother's bedside and held her hand with his small hand.

【Child, you've come...】

His mother was very gentle, and everyone in the room showed sorrow, bidding farewell to the woman.

There was not a trace of sorrow in Chen Min's eyes, but in his heart, something indescribable had appeared.

He had many things he wanted to say to his mother.

He was tired, so tired.

He had always wanted to say it, but his mother was leaving.

Until everyone in the room had left.

"Mother..."

Chen Min spoke.

The woman lying on the bed, gasping her last breaths, suddenly looked at Chen Min with eyes that turned incomparably venomous.

"You monster, why aren't you dead yet?!"

"You deserve to die, all of you in the Luo Chen clan deserve to die!"

"You... are all... demons!"

The woman spoke with extreme viciousness; the next moment, her aura vanished, and she died.

Chen Min stood stunned on the spot.

He did not know why his mother's temperament had changed so drastically; was it because those people had left, and his mother was finally willing to speak her true thoughts?

Chen Min was speechless, day and night thinking of the words his mother said before she died.

Day and night.

Time passed slowly.

He saw the people of the Luo Chen clan oppressing the poor.

He saw mortals wailing as they headed toward despair under the hands of the Luo Chen people.

His heart could not bear it, and he helped a woman who had been abducted into the Luo Chen clan and reduced to a slave.

"Young Master Chen Min, thank you, thank you!"

The woman was filled with gratitude.

But the next day, that woman brought the Luo Chen person who had bullied her to find Chen Min.

"It was him, it was him who let me go out, I didn't want to, I didn't want to, my lord!"

The woman knelt beside that person, pointing at Chen Min with a sinister expression.

That person wore a cold look, suddenly swept a leg out, the woman's head exploded, and then he turned to look at Chen Min gently.

"Little Young Master, these things are all mongrels; helping them is just a waste of time."

"They are not worth helping; the Young Master should go and cultivate instead."

Chen Min turned around indifferently.

He thought of his mother once again.

This woman who was like a nightmare, even though she was dead, still drilled into his dreams every day.

He had questions in his heart.

"Why are they like this?"

He pondered bitterly day after day.

Finally, he reached a conclusion.

"This world is not worth saving."

"The Luo Chen clan is wrong, the people of the world are wrong, the Great Xia is wrong."

"This world needs to die."

"And I, Chen Min, shall be the leader of the new world; I will change everything."

He became convinced of this matter, and he became even more powerful.

He became more diligent, and his will grew increasingly firm.

He prepared for the future; he would make the world anew!

He was willing to die for this.

To die for a worthy cause!

Even though he died, he remained the eternal Chen Min.

Until that day.

"I dare not die, so I struggle desperately to live."

A single sentence, booming into the depths of his heart.

That person awakened only a few months ago, by what right could he defeat me?

What exactly is that person doing? Why is his will so strong that it is hard to shake?

He doesn't even dare to die, by what right is his will stronger than mine!

That mother of mine only dared to speak her true words to me in the final moment before she died.

The people of the world fear death.

I do not fear it, therefore I am invincible.

"I have lost..."

Under the moonlight, Chen Yan, standing quietly, had an incomparably complex light flickering in his eyes.

Just like experiencing the life of Zhuang Ang, he had also experienced the life of Chen Min.

This feeling was very uncomfortable, very painful.

It was actually even more painful than Zhuang Ang.

Such an experience would temper Chen Yan's will to a great degree.

This was the nourishment for Chen Yan's will.

A person's life is limited after all.

The lives of others would also make him powerful.

For instance, Chen Min, Zhuang Ang, Wang Yang, Xia Hanzhou...

For instance, Zhou Lu.

Zhou Lu...

Chen Yan calmed his mind.

Because Chen Min had become a Will-Bearer, Chen Yan had experienced the other's entire life, and the Word Realm had grown even more powerful!

Chen Yan clenched his fists tightly, and surging power flooded his body.

When Chen Yan first pioneered the Path of Will, the Word Realm could only provide Chen Yan with a three-fold increase in combat power.

After Zhuang Ang awakened as a Will-Bearer, the Word Realm's combat power increase reached 3.3 times.

And this time, with Chen Min's awakening, the Word Realm's increase reached four times.

A full increase of 0.7.

Logically speaking, since Chen Min was the third Will-Bearer, the combat power increase brought to Chen Yan after awakening the Word Realm should not have been more than Zhuang Ang's.

But the tempering that Chen Min's experiences brought to Chen Yan was far greater than that of Zhuang Ang.

A four-fold increase would not only be reflected in combat power, but also in cultivation speed.

After activating the Word Realm, Chen Yan's cultivation speed would increase rapidly, and the clarity of his thinking would reach an unprecedented level.

However.

If more Will-Bearers were to be born in the future, the benefits they could bring to Chen Yan would not be as great as Chen Min's.

Chen Yan's consciousness looked toward the Martial Dao network.

Unfamiliar faces appeared on the newly sprouted tips.

There was even Shao Hengyang.

Chen Yan was surprised; Shao Hengyang cultivated very diligently.

It was just that the tip representing Shao Hengyang flickered for an instant before quickly extinguishing.

Not diligent enough.

Just like Shen Yiwu.

It was not that they were not diligent enough, but that this thing called "Will" was inherently a profound and mysterious thing.

Shen Yiwu worked very hard, but the will in the other's heart did not seem very strong.

Chen Yan thought of the words Old Chi had spoken.

Shen Yiwu was originally the number one of the Sixth Rank, but after being defeated by Chen Changyuan's three sword strikes, he had fallen further and further.

These years, on one hand, he was healing and recovering his strength, and on the other, the deceit and treachery in Qinzhou had long since left him exhausted.

On the contrary, Zhuang Ang...

Chen Yan looked into one of the tips at the very bottom of the Martial Dao network.

The young boy named Zhuang Ang had been recruited into the New Dragon Guard by Shen Yiwu.

Having experienced the Gong family affair, Zhuang Ang felt that every single second of freedom was incomparably precious.

He cultivated every day, extremely painstakingly.

Even though it was now three o'clock in the morning, Zhuang Ang was still constantly cultivating in the martial arts room.

His aptitude for the Path of Blood Qi was very poor, so he specialized in Hard Tempering.

Because of his extreme seriousness and the effect of the Word Realm, he had already cultivated the 【Red Ridge Body-Casting Canon】 to the introductory level.

During the course of his cultivation, the existence of the Word Realm was naturally exposed.

After Xia Chiyi discovered the other's peculiarity, he returned to Jinzhou.

The Word Realm was, naturally, extremely peculiar.

It possessed a powerful pressure and combat power increase that did not lose to any other path.

Even if outsiders wanted to analyze it, they could not.

Lü Xinyuan, the newly appointed Mayor of Yunmeng City, also discovered Zhuang Ang's abnormality and sent people to investigate, but they were all blocked by the New Dragon Guard.

At this moment, they still thought this was a wonder unique to Zhuang Ang alone, and would never guess at a brand-new Martial Dao.

Chen Yan let out a long breath.

The Path of Will would eventually be presented to the entire world one day.

Regarding this point, Chen Yan did not care.

One day, the Master of Will would also appear before the eyes of the world.

Chen Yan looked forward to that day.

But before that day arrived, he had to have the ability to face the world.

"Thinking about this is still too early; I don't even have a clue about the second realm yet."

Chen Yan whispered in his heart.

However, he had also had some thoughts over these past few days.

Of all the Martial Daos in the world, except for the Path of Thought Power which Chen Yan did not understand.

He had dabbled in all the others.

The Path of Blood Qi and the Path of Hard Tempering were both physical Martial Daos, and were also the Martial Daos that most people cultivated.

The realms were distinguished by First Rank, Second Rank, Third Rank...

Of course, the names of the realms were different.

The division of the realms was also different.

For example, the Extreme Forging Realm of the Path of Hard Tempering was actually the sum of the First Rank and Second Rank.

While the First Rank and Second Rank of the Path of Blood Qi were two distinct realms: the Five Viscera Realm and the Hundred Meridians Realm.

The remaining few Martial Daos, Chen Yan called them auxiliary Martial Daos.

Speaking of auxiliary Martial Daos, one must be clear about the types of Ancient Divine Beasts.

The first type, which Chen Yan has seen the most, is the Array-Condensing Ancient Divine Beast, whose eyes contain arrays.

The second type, the Elemental Ancient Divine Beast.

The Ancient Divine Beast Chen Yan encountered when he saved Xu Di contained an elemental crystal core of the ice element within its body.

That was an Elemental Ancient Divine Beast.

The third type, the Pure Evil Ancient Divine Beast.

The Ancient Divine Beast that Zhou Lu turned into after being contaminated by the malice crystal was a Pure Evil Ancient Divine Beast.

It possesses neither elements nor arrays, but the malice it radiates is extremely powerful, capable of manifesting formidable illusions to bewilder the human heart.

These are the three categories of Ancient Divine Beasts.

Over these past few days, Chen Yan has conversed quite a bit with Chi Lao at the Tianbei Boxing Tournament.

He learned a conclusion: the auxiliary martial paths are all derived from Ancient Divine Beasts!

The path of arrays.

A martial path derived from the Array-Condensing Ancient Divine Beast.

By imitating and comprehending the arrays within the eyes of the Array-Condensing Ancient Divine Beast, one creates arrays of one's own.

The grades are: Mortal Grade, Martial Grade, Earth Vein Grade, Azure Vault Grade, Morning Star Grade...

Second.

The True Intent Martial Path.

It has a total of three realms: True Intent, True Realm, and True Soul.

Each realm is divided into nine minor grades, from the first grade, second grade, third grade... all the way to the ninth grade.

However, crossing a major realm does not necessarily require cultivating the minor grades to the ninth grade; it all depends on one's own comprehension.

The True Intent Martial Path involves the comprehension of the physical body and weapon intent.

It is a form of imitation of the Pure Evil Ancient Divine Beast, yet it has forged a new path.

The third type is the elemental path.

This path is based on the Qi-Blood Martial Path, where martial artists strengthen their own elemental grade.

Even if the physical body is weak, as long as one's own Qi-blood elemental grade rises, one is still incomparably powerful.

This type is an imitation based on the Elemental Ancient Divine Beast.

As for the path of mental power, it is actually a type of physical martial path, which uses the divine soul to generate mental power.

The divine soul itself resides within the physical body.

Chen Yan observes all martial paths, whether they are physical martial paths or auxiliary martial paths.

Ultimately, they have not touched the essence of this world.

This world is a world of living beings and Ancient Gods.

No matter how powerful each martial path is, if it cannot eradicate malice, it cannot thoroughly change the world.

But the path of will is different.

Chen Yan wants to establish the realms of the path of will; there is no need to learn other martial paths.

The martial path of will can be ninth grade, or it can be third grade.

Ultimately, it is to make this world brand new.

This is the thing he must do in his life.

"I want this heaven and earth to be renewed, the great era to be overturned, light to reappear, will to span across, and time to never cease."

The Lord of Will whispered here, speaking to himself.

Under this grand aspiration, the so-called Luo Chen and the so-called World Alliance all seemed to have become small hurdles on a long, winding road.

They were no longer important.

Unknowingly, the chaotic-colored fruit atop the Saint-Breaking Tree had already grown to nearly half its size.
