Chapter 317: Rabbit

Chen Yan frowned; isn't honey just 【Youlan】?

Yet he saw Xue Qi slowly raise his hand and wave it slightly.

Whoosh!

A gust of wild wind swept past, wrapping around the examinees nearby and instantly blowing them away.

They were incredibly terrified, shouting and screaming:

"General Star, save me!"

"Chen Yan!!!"

"Damn it, I didn't do anything!"

In the blink of an eye, these examinees were swept away by Xue Qi, leaving Slaughter Village.

"I only asked them to leave," Xue Qi murmured.

His gaze swept over the villagers, ignoring their hatred and fear, and looked at Chen Yan once more.

Then, he slowly embraced the pile of corpses before him.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Wisps of black smoke emerged; Xue Qi's body was scorched, corrupted, and continuously shattered by the pile of corpses.

"Hahaha..."

He screamed, wailing incessantly:

"I really am a... sinner."

His body began to turn charred black, and streaks of cyan flames appeared, burning him continuously.

Just like that, Xue Qi was completely burned to ashes, staying together with his wife and daughter.

But a shimmering radiance emerged.

This was Xue Qi's mental power, his final soul.

As for the corpses of him and his wife and daughter, they had long since turned into countless dust, passing away with the wind.

There was no doubt that before Xue Qi walked the path of Blood Qi, he was a Mentalist.

Xue Qi's soul drifted over slowly and soon entered Chen Yan's body:

"This is my final obsession, and it can only perform three moves.

Only by executing it with your body can you realize the true Youlan."

Xue Qi's voice resonated in Chen Yan's mind, and soon Chen Yan felt a force of control descend.

He could reject or suppress this force of control.

But he did not.

"This first move is to extinguish the evil of the human world!"

As Xue Qi's voice sounded in Chen Yan's mind, Chen Yan slowly raised his hands, and streams of Blood Qi within his body flowed through his limbs in an unfamiliar rhythm.

His five viscera roared, his divine organs boiled, his meridians became clear, and his Golden Body shook!

Chen Yan's gaze narrowed; at this moment, within his Saint-Breaking Realm, an unprecedentedly massive golden light was born, pouring into the Saint-Breaking Tree like a river or sea turning upside down, violently and incomparably!

This was not simple teaching; it was more like an enlightenment.

And, it was different!

Chen Yan felt his own blood ringing; this was 【Qianyuan】 calling out!

It was profoundly deep.

It surpassed every enlightenment he had ever had!

Powerful, powerful!!!

A 【Technique】 Saint-Breaking Fruit was born!

In an instant, two!

Three!

One must know that at this moment, one Saint-Breaking Fruit was worth ten of the past!

Chen Yan's heart pounded; even he could not hide his excitement.

【Qianyuan】 was too extraordinary for him.

It didn't feel like learning a Morning Star-level Blood Qi cultivation technique at all.

It was...

Bright Moon-level!

Yes!

Bright Moon-level!

Chen Yan clearly felt that his own 【Qianyuan】 was like a broken puzzle.

And while learning 【Youlan】, this puzzle became incredibly grand and more complete.

After fully mastering 【Youlan】, 【Qianyuan】 would not disappear, but would completely evolve into a Bright Moon-level Blood Qi cultivation technique!

Screech!

A low, deep cry sounded, and streaks of azure Blood Qi spread out from Chen Yan's body, transforming into a giant Black Tortoise that covered the entire Slaughter Village.

As the Black Tortoise cried out, endless terrifying pressure descended.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ground of the entire Slaughter Village instantly caved in, as if it had been struck by a Morning Star from beyond the heavens.

The villagers wailed one after another without cease.

Immediately following.

Chen Yan pressed down with one hand.

Boom!

A gigantic Black Tortoise descended, instantly suppressing the earth.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!

Body after body burst open, crushed into fragments; hundreds of people died!

As for the remaining villagers, they lay desperately on the ground, struggling incessantly.

"What I killed were those who witnessed the death of my wife and daughter, watching it heartlessly, hating them for it."

Xue Qi's voice rang out.

"As for the rest, fend for yourselves."

As his voice fell, a villager roared and shrieked:

"Demon!"

Xue Qi's voice sounded once more.

"Yes, I am a demon; I bring humanity... disaster."

Chen Yan turned and left.

Leaving behind only the desolate Slaughter-Severing Village.

"You still have two moves left; when will you teach them to me?"

Chen Yan murmured.

"The next move: go exterminate the Fei Yi."

Xue Qi's voice rose:

"To exterminate the evil of the human world, one must also exterminate the evil of the world itself."

Chen Yan was silent; the first move was to exterminate the evil of the human world, destroying those villagers who had harmed him so.

The second move, to go exterminate the Fei Yi, this is the evil of the world.

"Then what is the third move meant to exterminate?" Chen Yan asked again.

Xue Qi answered irrelevantly:

"What you should care about more is that I intend to borrow your hand to kill the Fei Yi; you are a Great Xia examinee, killing the Fei Yi should bring you a massive amount of points."

Chen Yan did not speak; could Xue Qi truly kill the Fei Yi?

If that were the case.

Then Slaughter-Severing Village deserved its death.

At the final moment, they had extinguished the only hope that could have saved the village.

His attention turned to within the Saint-Breaking Realm.

Inside the pitch-black, dark, and vast land, upon the towering giant tree.

Grew fruits of various colors.

What Chen Yan focused on first were three types among them.

The first type was a chaos-colored fruit, which had now grown to about eighty percent.

The second type was a blue fruit, containing full limit-breaking energy, which had grown to about thirty percent.

As for the last one, on a tree branch, the abundant fruits radiated golden light, incomparably brilliant.

Counting carefully, there were eight 【Skill】 Saint-Breaking Fruits in total!

The skill energy contained within them was beyond imagination.

Chen Yan's consciousness appeared within the Saint-Breaking Realm, swallowing the 【Skill】 Saint-Breaking Fruits one by one into his belly.

Deep within his mind, familiar yet strange memories surged forth.

Within these memories, Xue Qi appeared, performing 【Deep Ripple】 on him time and again; every performance brought Chen Yan new insights, incomparably profound.

Visions emerged all around Chen Yan's body, his Qi and blood overflowing to manifest phantoms of a True Dragon and a Black Tortoise.

The True Dragon and Black Tortoise circled, revealing deep meaning, complementing each other, becoming even more powerful.

This aura was incomparably deep, surging with laws and Dao essence.

It was not a Morning Star-grade cultivation technique at all, but a Bright Moon-grade cultivation technique!

At this moment.

【Deep Abyss】 was disappearing, and 【Deep Ripple】 was also disappearing.

Instead, they were transforming into a brand-new Qi and blood cultivation technique.

Chen Yan did not yet know the name.

Moreover, this Bright Moon-grade cultivation technique was not complete.

Because Chen Yan's mastery of 【Deep Abyss】 and 【Deep Ripple】 was not actually complete.

Chen Yan waved one hand, and a Dao-Enlightenment Seed appeared in his palm.

Gently crushing it, the light transformed from the Dao-Enlightenment Seed flowed in through Chen Yan's ears, nose, and throat, heading straight for his brain.

Word Realm opened!

Chen Yan attained enlightenment while speeding through the high sky.

On the Saint-Breaking Tree, golden 【Skill】 Saint-Breaking Fruits were born once again.

Xue Qi wanted to use his own three opportunities to act to help Chen Yan thoroughly comprehend 【Deep Ripple】, but Xue Qi was wrong.

With the assistance of the powerful Word Realm and the Saint-Breaking Fruits, once Xue Qi performed the move again, Chen Yan would be able to thoroughly master 【Deep Ripple】.

He continued heading east.

After Chen Yan flew past the Slaughter Forest, an endless expanse of purple-red earth came into view.

Upon the earth, one could see corpses covered by sand and soil everywhere.

He walked through the air, ending his meditation on the Dao.

Subsequently, with a wave of one hand, a piece of Dao-Slaughter Bamboo radiating blood-colored light emerged from the hidden space.

This was a piece of Dao-Slaughter Bamboo that had absorbed one hundred million Dao-Slaughter points.

With a flash of Chen Yan's intent, this piece of Dao-Slaughter Bamboo shattered instantly, and strands of unfamiliar information appeared deep within Chen Yan's mind.

Soon, a palm-sized blood-energy treasure medicine, shaped like a giant diamond and radiating light, appeared in Chen Yan's hand.

Morning Star-grade Grade A blood-energy treasure medicine 【Glazed Blood-Binding Crystal】.

Although it was considered to be on the lower end of quality for a Morning Star-grade Grade A, it far exceeded all the various treasure medicines Chen Yan had obtained previously.

Chen Yan did not think much, found a deserted place, crushed a Time Seed, and began to cultivate.

Chen Yan's top priority now was to advance either the blood-energy path or the physical tempering path to the Origin Realm.

In the end, Chen Yan chose the blood-energy path.

After completely mastering 【Youlan】, Chen Yan's strength in the blood-energy path would be maximized.

At this time, the blood-energy realm also had to keep up.

"I hope that after the college entrance examination secret realm, I can kill Chen Xiyuan."

Chen Yan whispered in his heart and began to absorb the 【Glazed Blood-Binding Crystal】.

Although he had not yet fully learned the cultivation technique, Chen Yan's operation of the technique at this moment was already far more powerful than before.

Ocean-like blood-energy was absorbed by Chen Yan.

One 【Blood】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit after another also began to be born.

Blood-energy surged, the physical body was forged, and the radiance on Chen Yan's body became increasingly bright and brilliant.

Each physical particle became full, occupied and transformed by blood-energy.

The forging degree began to skyrocket.

Sixty-seven!

Sixty-eight!

Sixty-nine!

…………

Seventy-five!

…………

Chen Yan began to consume the Saint-Breaking Fruit.

Seventy-nine!

…………

Eighty-three!

Eighty-four!

Eighty-five!

It was still skyrocketing; Chen Yan felt as if he were a bucket, constantly being poured into by energy.

The miraculous nature of his physical body was constantly improving, as if he could erupt with a giant sea of blood-energy with a wave of his hand, suppressing and killing everything.

Eighty-six!

Eighty-seven!

Time passed slowly; inside the time barrier, coldness shot out, incomparably thick and heavy.

Eighty-nine!

Ninety!

Chen Yan's eyes widened.

Ninety-one!

Ninety-two!

Crack, crack, crack...

Chen Yan stretched his body, and the ice encasing him shattered piece by piece, frantically splashing in all directions.

"You are indeed very suitable for walking the blood-energy path." Xue Qi's voice resounded in Chen Yan's mind.

Chen Yan did not speak and continued to take to the air.

Time passed slowly until the afternoon.

A blood river with no visible end blocked Chen Yan's path, and an invisible pressure descended instantly; Chen Yan discovered he could no longer take to the air.

By the river, an old man wearing a straw raincoat sat on a small boat fishing.

The old man looked at Chen Yan and smiled:

"Do you want to cross the river? One Time Seed will do."

Chen Yan nodded, and just as he was about to take out a Time Seed, the old man's gaze trembled instantly:

"You!"

He pointed at Chen Yan as if he had seen something terrifying, and hurriedly waved his hands:

"You are carrying Xue Qi; even if you give me a Time Seed, I will not ferry you."

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes, but the old man continued to speak:

"Just one question; if you answer correctly, I will ferry you across."

"What is the question?" Chen Yan asked.

The old man smiled and said:

"After the Rabbit Village Chief invented armor, but still could not defeat the white bears, the rabbits were incredibly desperate.

But on that very day, two white bears started fighting each other.

Later, the Rabbit Village Chief went completely insane; may I ask what happened in between?"

As the old man spoke, his pair of eyes looked at Chen Yan gloomily.

Chen Yan was silent for a long while; he pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"The two white bears started fighting, and the Rabbit Village Chief took five rabbits and chose to help one of the white bears.

Later, both bears were defeated and injured; the Rabbit Village Chief and the other five rabbits bathed in the white bears' blood and ate the white bears' meat."

Chen Yan said quietly, a trace of melancholy appearing in his eyes:

"But rabbits cannot eat meat; they became powerful after eating the white bears' flesh and blood, but they were also influenced by it.

Therefore, they went insane.

But precisely because of their intervention, the rabbits brought about peace, and a new Rabbit Village appeared."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, the old man sitting on the small boat remained silent for a long time.

Only then did he slowly begin:

"The details are actually a bit off."

He looked at Chen Yan:

"But the overall picture is correct; please, sit."
