Chapter 396: Come, all of you, come; I shall tell you the mystery of the Immortal Body

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Inside the cultivation chamber, the fist intent gale whistled, and the sound of thunder erupted incessantly.

Chen Yan was covered in blood; the Myriad Prison Nether Thunder slashed terrifying bloody gashes across Chen Yan's body, but the Immortal Will erupted, and Chen Yan's physical body healed once again.

A powerful physical body is forged through constant wear and constant repair.

This is the simplest, yet also the most arduous path.

But Chen Yan was tireless in his pursuit.

In this world, there is nothing more free than taking control of one's own life.

Upon Chen Yan's Transverse-Refining Divine Body.

One hundred and seventy-seven True Dragon Dharma Images flickered with brilliant divine light, and between their vibrations, infinite power seemed to be brewing.

"The progress is still too slow!"

Chen Yan gave a low shout; this cultivation session lasted for three full days, and Chen Yan's Transverse-Refining Divine Body's True Dragon phases increased by exactly nineteen.

【Saint-Breaking Tree (Level 8): 21/200】

The Saint-Breaking Tree grew two 【Body】 character fruits.

The progress of the 【Power】 character fruit reached seventy-five percent.

Boom, boom!

Chen Yan threw two punches in an instant.

As the fierce fist intent erupted, it tore through space.

"I can stack two punches in an instant, far surpassing what I could do before."

Chen Yan's eyes flickered; the path of stacking fist intent is very difficult, absolutely not as simple as one might imagine.

To ensure the power of two punches in an instant is equally formidable, one must already be brewing the second punch while throwing the first.

In three days' time, Chen Yan had finally gained a slight entry into it.

Two layers of stacked fist intent were already no small improvement.

Compared to the progress of ordinary prodigies, this speed was absolutely lightning-fast.

But for Chen Yan, it was far from enough.

A great battle was approaching.

Various experts would make moves against Chen Yan.

Chen Yan did not intend to rely on the Grand Chamberlain and the Lesser Fate-Controller to intervene.

That was a last-resort option.

Chen Yan did not intend to disrupt Xia Qi's plans because of himself.

He wanted to break the situation with his own strength.

"I need precious medicines!"

Chen Yan's gaze flashed; he had previously swallowed all the precious medicines within the Origin Space.

These precious medicines had not yet matured, but Chen Yan could not wait for them to mature.

What made Chen Yan helpless was that these precious medicines were all prepared by Chen Jijun for himself, and they were all medicines for the Qi-Blood path.

With all the precious medicines added together, the Saint-Breaking Tree condensed eight 【Blood】 character Saint-Breaking Fruits.

They had fully forged the head of the Qi-Blood Divine Body.

But Chen Yan needed Transverse-Refining precious medicines!

Chen Yan pondered for a long time, a golden light flickering in his eyes.

"Who is the hunter and who is the prey remains to be seen."

Chen Yan pushed open the door of the cultivation chamber.

By his ears, the sounds of Military Guard training instantly arrived, clanging and powerful.

Chen Yan pushed open the door.

A squad of Military Guards passing by his door looked toward Chen Yan in unison.

"Greetings, Chief!"

The captain in the lead spoke instantly.

"Greetings, Chief!"

This squad of Military Guards spoke together as they looked at Chen Yan, their eyes all filled with a look of awe.

Chen Yan returned the smile; among these Military Guards, some were of a similar age to him, and some could be seen at a glance to be green recruits.

"In two days, there may be a great battle," Chen Yan said.

"We aren't afraid!" an old soldier laughed out loud:

"What the Fushan Station does is exactly where our military heart lies; our lives are not worth much!"

A Military Guard laughed fervently:

"This time, I want to let those animals see the strength of our Military Guards!"

"Exactly!"

"Are the subordinates of the Patrol Sun Divine General mere fools?"

Sounds of low shouts rang out; killing intent flickered in the eyes of these Military Guards.

Chen Yan's expression was calm, and a smile gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth:

"Thank you all."

A squad of new recruits was stunned, looking at Chen Yan in confusion.

Chen Yan's gaze trembled, and a feeling he had never experienced before welled up in his heart.

These military guards are merely at the first or second rank; if a great battle were to truly break out, these people would be nothing but cannon fodder.

For the sake of the Immortal Body, and the Sun-Radiance grade precious medicine promised by the Lu family, many have come, among whom there is no lack of desperate outlaws.

These people do not care about the life or death of these military guards.

Could it be that a person's long ascent to godhood must be built upon the corpses of their teammates?

He accepts Zong Heng's good intentions.

He approves of Xia Qi's decision.

But Chen Yan is not without a way out!

Murderous intent erupted in Chen Yan's eyes, and he smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth.

Before him, the crowd of military guards was stunned by the aura currently radiating from Chen Yan, and they all fell silent in unison.

Boom!

Chen Yan transformed into a stream of light and shot straight into the sky, instantly shattering the clouds.

Hum!

Brilliant golden light exploded from Chen Yan's physical body, as if a great sun were rising from the horizon.

Above the earth, one shocked gaze after another looked toward Chen Yan.

"It's Chen Yan!"

"It's the General Star of Fushan!"

"He has appeared!!!"

Sounds of shock rang out one after another.

Inside and outside Xiaoyang, powerful experts with formidable auras fixed their eyes on Chen Yan.

"What is this kid trying to do?"

An expert hiding in the void spoke in astonishment.

Among the military guards, Tan Yishi, Zong Heng, and other experts also appeared in unison, looking at Chen Yan in shock.

Chen Yan had not consulted them about this move.

Rumble!

A rolling roar spread out as Chen Yan threw a punch, shattering the void.

A powerful sense of oppression surged out and descended upon the earth.

Some experts exclaimed that Chen Yan seemed to have become even stronger.

How many days has it even been?

Outside Xiaoyang City, all the second-rank General Stars guarding the Lightning-Strike Treasure Land also looked over.

Chen Yan.

The momentum of this third-rank General Star is now even higher than theirs.

Yet, the young man standing in the clouds suddenly spoke:

"You lot, wanting to exterminate me, it is nothing more than for the sake of the Immortal Body!"

Chen Yan's voice rolled out with force, lingering for a long time.

The surroundings were shocked, and everyone stared fixedly at Chen Yan.

The Immortal Body concerns eternal life; this is something everyone wants.

What is Chen Yan trying to do today?

Yet, Chen Yan spoke again:

"But have you all ever thought that back when Lu Xunyang fought, blood must have been spilled, and someone must have definitely taken that blood to study it."

"But did they succeed?"

Chen Yan's voice was rhythmic and filled with dominance:

"You are all a bunch of ugly, dark, disgusting trash who would rather kill countless people just to achieve yourselves."

"So, I can understand the desire you all have to obtain the secret of the Immortal Body!"

Chen Yan's voice fell.

People in the four directions were all stunned in unison, anger erupting in their eyes.

Not far away, someone instantly rushed out from a building and shouted angrily:

"Chen Yan, keep your mouth clean!"

His voice had just fallen.

Boom!

Chen Yan instantly erupted, transforming into a golden light as he attacked, his speed extremely fast!

"You, you, you, you!"

That person trembled instantly; this madman, he's actually going to make a move.

As it happened, he was not far away.

Boom!

Chen Yan had already arrived and threw a punch.

"Get lost!!!"

That person roared, his eyes ferocious.

Hum!

A wave of will-pressure instantly slammed into that person's mind, and his body trembled.

Chen Yan's gaze was ferocious as his Ninth-Grade Fist Intent vibrated and stacked.

One hundred and seventy-seven True Dragon Phase positions flashed with divine light!

Accompanied by 【Void-Breaking - Interspatial Saint Explosion】, a punch was thrown out.

Boom!

That person's head exploded into pieces.

Chen Yan, covered in blood, smiled at Zhou Tian:

"A piece of trash, daring to delay my speech."

The expressions of those around turned ugly; Chen Yan had become stronger again.

That person was, at any rate, a Rank 6, and although it was the early stage, it was still a Rank 6.

Chen Yan had actually blown his head off with a single punch.

Chen Yan threw another punch, directly shattering that person's body, turning it into a blood mist that drifted into the void.

This Rank 6 was incredibly hollow.

Just like this, and he dared to come kill him?

He did not want the other party's Origin Space.

All around, it was terrifyingly silent.

Chen Yan smiled again:

"I want to tell you all, killing me and taking my flesh and blood to study will not allow you to grasp the mysteries of the Immortal Body at all.

I disdain lying, because lying to a bunch of trash is too shameful."

Chen Yan was cursing again.

A Rank 6 appeared from afar and roared:

"What exactly are you trying to do? Speak!"

That person had just opened his mouth.

Hum!

A sword shadow struck out instantly, and that person's head was pierced through in an instant.

"Who made the move!?"

Someone was shocked, and they all looked toward a spot not far from that person.

Talisman Sword Saint Body Li Muyun was lying on a tree resting.

"Don't look at me, don't look at me, I didn't make a move!"

Li Muyun hurriedly spoke, collecting that person's corpse into his Origin Space:

"A free Rank 6 corpse, I'll take it."

The experts hiding in the void had even uglier expressions.

Li Muyun, Shang Yunwu, and that Yin Youming were definitely variables.

They had helped Chen Yan before, and they might help again later.

Were these people crazy?

Did they want to go against the Xia Clan?

Did they not want their Rank 2 General Star positions anymore?

The crowd was panicked; since when did Rank 6s become so worthless?

Inside Xiaoyang City, Chen Yan glanced at Li Muyun and smiled:

"Although you are all trash, I still want to tell you that the Immortal Body is not easy to fight for; you might just lose your own lives in the process.

You fought for my flesh and blood, yet you can't research anything out of it; you are all too pitiful."

Chen Yan's eyes shone brightly:

"Fortunately, I am kind-hearted, and I pity you.

Tomorrow, I will preach the Dao in Xiaoyang and announce the mysteries of the Immortal Body to the world!

You all come and listen, I guarantee it.

As long as you follow what I say, you will definitely be able to awaken the Immortal Body!"

Chen Yan's voice fell, and in an instant, the auras all around changed.

Preaching the Dao of the Immortal Body?

"For real?"

An expert spoke from within the void.

"I do not deceive people!" Chen Yan smiled:

"I hope that everyone in the world will be like a dragon, and that the world will have more good talents and great generals.

You are trash, but trashy people will always be the minority!"

Chen Yan looked at the earth, looked at the entire Xiaoyang.

"I am not preaching the Dao for this trash to hear; I am preaching the Dao for you all to hear. The Great Dao is lonely, and I wish for everyone in the world to possess an Immortal Body!"

His voice was clear and bright, imprinted within the space-time of this place.

Preaching the Dao tomorrow was not to delay time for himself.

It was truly in the hope that capable people would still appear in the world!

Inside Xiaoyang City, the pairs of eyes looking at Chen Yan changed.

There were youths full of reverence, maidens full of admiration, and old men sighing with heroic spirit rising in their hearts.

Chen Yan stood within the void, feeling the changes in the Saint-Breaking Realm.

There was blue light flashing, representing the energy of breaking limits.

At this moment, the faith of the masses was once again converted into limit-breaking energy.

The progress of the "Break" character in breaking the Saint Fruit was slowly increasing.

38!

39!

43!

Chen Yan departed.

But the words he had spoken earlier exploded among the populace like a deep-sea bomb.

On the balcony of a villa.

Jiang Yuan was completely stunned.

"For real?"

Jiang Yuan was incredibly astonished; looking at Chen Yan's demeanor, it did not seem like a lie.

But does Chen Yan not lie?

Jiang Yuan was speechless; when Chen Yan had once again produced hundreds of precious medicines for the Military Martial Guards in front of the world.

Jiang Yuan had sworn in his heart at that time never to believe Chen Yan again.

But this time, it really did not seem to be fake.

It was impossible for Chen Yan to deceive everyone.

It made no sense.

"An open conspiracy!" Jiang Yuan sighed inwardly.

He understood why Chen Yan was doing this.

Since Chen Yan spoke of the Immortal Body, those powerhouses who wanted to obtain the Immortal Body could not possibly watch Chen Yan be killed.

"Ingenious." Jiang Yuan sighed inwardly.

It was also at this moment that Jiang Yuan sensed a slight disturbance.

He opened the communication array disk, and Chen Yan's voice came from within.

"Are you short on resources lately?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned; you aren't finished yet, are you?

"I am." Jiang Yuan laughed:

"Where are we hitting?"

"That is for you to ask," Chen Yan said.

…………

Time passed slowly.

Inside an office.

"Chen Yan, have you thought it through?" Zong Heng's voice was somewhat low; sitting beside him was also a white-haired old man.

The old man had a handsome appearance; although aged, he still carried the contours of his youth.

This was the only Tier 7 of the current Military Martial Guards, Tan Yishi.

"I've decided." Chen Yan spoke:

"I appreciate Department Head Zong's good intentions, but there is no need for people to die in my place."

Chen Yan spoke.

The Lu Clan had put out a high-priced bounty for Chen Yan's corpse, and powerhouses from all sides would come rushing.

And Zong Heng's strategy was a numbers war.

It was unnecessary.

At the very least, Chen Yan believed it was unnecessary.

Zong Heng nodded with an ugly expression, then immediately slammed a fist onto the table.

"Damn it, if Lu Xunyang were still here, would these bastards dare to cause trouble?

One punch would wipe out a whole group!"

Anger erupted in Zong Heng's eyes.

"Chen Yan, since you already have a plan, then I shall protect you from the shadows."

The handsome old man Tan Yishi spoke up, somewhat uneasy:

"Since you are going to attempt the General Tier, nothing must go wrong in the middle."

He and Zong Heng naturally already knew about Chen Yan's upcoming attempt at the General Tier.

When they found out, they were also shocked.

Now, what they needed to ensure was that there would be no accidents before Chen Yan attempted the General Tier.

"No need."

Chen Yan spoke:

"For tomorrow's matter, I still need Deputy Commander Tan's help."
