Chapter 433: We Meet Again, My Fellow Traveler

Boom—!

High above the firmament, that massive thunder sphere was still descending, its might terrifying, surging down with the killing intent of heaven and earth!

Yet beneath this thunder sphere, beside the mangled remains of Xia Xunyao, a broken figure appeared, with only its upper body remaining.

Its face was a blur, with only one eye, cracked by the lightning, staring at the earth:

"I... I, Xia Yuan, have failed... the Great Xia..."

Its voice was shrill and tragic, and in the next instant, it roared out:

"I, Xia Yuan, will not close my eyes in death until the Chen Clan is annihilated!!!"

Hum!

Resentment!

Boundless resentment surged downward, all of it pressing upon Chen Yan.

Even the mere sliver that overflowed was enough to leave the people of the world on the earth unable to catch their breath.

This resentment was so intense it made one feel the intent of death.

High in the sky, Tan Yishi watched that person, his lips trembling:

"His Highness Xia Yuan!"

As his voice fell, his eyes turned red.

This was his comrade-in-arms, who had once honed his combat strength as a deputy general under Lu Xunyang, and who was highly likely to have been the contemporary Ruler.

The other party had also died in the lightning tribulation.

He had not expected them to appear at this moment.

So, they had also died at the hands of the Chen Clan.

The Chen Clan could have originally hidden this secret for ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years.

But in order to annihilate Chen Yan, the Chen Clan stopped hiding it.

They wanted to thoroughly annihilate Chen Yan.

On the earth below, one roar after another rang out.

Xia Yuan had also appeared.

All five clans had produced heaven-gifted prodigies, but who said the Xia Clan had no prodigies?

Xia Yuan was one!

In Jin Province, within the Ruler's Mansion.

Xia Qi watched, his aura stable, but his lips began to tremble incessantly.

"Imperial... Imperial Brother..."

Xia Qi's mouth hung wide open; he had guessed it the moment he felt Xia Hanzhou's reaction.

But when this scene clearly occurred, tears still welled up in his eyes.

If Xia Yuan were still here, the position of contemporary Ruler would be Xia Yuan's.

The Chen Clan feared Xia Yuan but felt at ease with him, Xia Qi, so they murdered Xia Yuan.

This was the crime of murdering a future Ruler.

The Chen Clan had actually made their own crimes public just to murder Chen Yan.

"What do they even take the Great Xia for?"

Xia Qi whispered:

"What do they even take the majesty of my Xia Clan for?

Is it because I am a natural waste that they felt at ease, and that is why they let them kill my Imperial Brother?"

Snap!

Xia Qi grabbed the window frame with both hands, causing the carved wood to creak and wood chips to fly.

His eyes turned red.

Just how much did the Chen Clan look down on the current Xia Clan to dare to make their own crimes public?

"Just how much of a waste am I, that they would think my feelings don't matter?!

They dare to use my Imperial Brother's resentment to murder the Divine General I value!"

He gritted his teeth, his body trembling:

"They all know I am going to die, but I insist on living; I will live, and I will personally take revenge for my Imperial Brother!"

Endless hatred surged in his eyes:

"I will not die, I will not die!"

His fingers were cut by the wood chips, and blood flowed down, but his eyes turned ferocious.

"Hahaha!!!"

Xia Qi suddenly laughed, laughing loudly:

"It's not that they look down on me; it's that they think too highly of me. The Divine General I chose made them tremble with fear; they would rather be hated by the Xia Clan than let my Divine General live.

I chose well!!!"

Behind him, anger also appeared in the depths of Xia Hanzhou's eyes; he looked at Xia Qi, his lips moving.

He was about to say something.

Hum!

A strange fluctuation emerged from Xia Qi's body.

Pressure!

Willpower pressure, very intense, bringing an inexplicable shock to Xia Hanzhou.

"Will Martial Dao!"

Xia Hanzhou's mouth opened and closed; he had always been observing the Will Martial Dao.

Whether it was Shen Yiwei, Zhuang Ang, or Chen Min.

Even Lu Fusang had awakened it upon entering Tie Province, and Tie Province bordered Qin Province.

These were all people who, the closer they were to Chen Yan, the easier it was for them to awaken the Will Martial Dao.

From this, Xia Hanzhou deduced that the Will Martial Dao had a distance limitation.

But Xia Qi...

Jin Province was, after all, one hundred and eight thousand miles away from Qin Province.

Xia Qi was also stunned, feeling himself in disbelief.

Beside his ear, however, a clear and resonant voice rang out.

"This resentment, in the face of my will, is so feeble it makes me want to laugh!"

This voice sounded from all directions, echoing out from within the Cloud Mist Silver Screens of every city in every province.

It carried an inexplicable dominance!

Almost in an instant, people everywhere were staring fixedly at the Cloud Mist Silver Screens.

Chen Province.

The Chen Lord's expression trembled as he watched in disbelief.

Ji Province.

The smile on the Ji Province Empress's lips vanished; her gaze pierced through the endless void, sweeping into Great Xia.

At this moment, Chen Yan.

He raised his head, his black hair flowing wantonly, and streams of strange flowing light surged upon his body.

Will pressure!

After absorbing the malice within the Luo family base, it had grown even more powerful!

His body was covered in wounds, but the moment he lifted his head, an invincible momentum was spreading.

A magnificent will pressure was erupting.

In an instant, Chen Yan shot straight into the sky!

The resentment from Xia Yuan and Xia Xunyao was terrifyingly horrific, but who could know how Chen Yan's will had actually been tempered?

He simply crushed his way upward, flying between Xia Yuan and Xia Xunyao.

That immense will pressure rolled past like an unstoppable, world-crushing chariot wheel.

Sss!!!

The two strands of resentment seemed to be corroded, constantly being shattered and crushed by an unstoppable, immense force!

"Trash!"

Chen Yan shouted coldly: "With only this much in your arsenal, you dare to bring it out!"

The people of the world on the earth watched in shock.

This was the Immortal Will!

This was the true power belonging to Chen Yan!

At this moment, everyone felt it!

Grand, terrifying, horrific, and indescribable!

The Chen Lord, still far away in Chen Province, also had his pupils shrink suddenly at this moment; he watched fixedly, unable to believe it.

This Soul-Abducting Tribulation was released by him.

He knew how intense this resentment was; such intense resentment had actually failed to stop Chen Yan.

Instead, it had been obliterated by Chen Yan.

"The path of Will!"

The Chen Lord let out a low roar; he knew this martial dao, and Chen Yan was the first person to make this martial dao public.

He also knew that Lu Xunyang was the first person to cultivate the Immortal Body.

But the world's top powerhouses did not care.

What did a brand-new martial dao matter?

They were already strong enough; why would they need to care about a brand-new martial dao?

The Immortal Body was indeed powerful, but top powerhouses could beat you into powder in an instant; how could you be immortal?

But now, it had changed!

"Will Martial Dao!"

The Chen Lord roared again, his breathing becoming ragged.

His mind trembled slightly.

The next moment.

Rumble!!!

Chen Yan had completely blasted into that massive lightning ball.

Boundless roaring sounds rang out incessantly; the world did not know what Chen Yan was experiencing inside.

But the Chen Lord could no longer sit still; he looked at the researchers behind him:

"Establish a Will Martial Dao Research Institute and treat it as the top priority for future research!"

Chen Yan's strength had been seen by the world, and by powerhouses from all sides.

At this moment, no one knew whether Chen Yan was dead or alive.

But one thing was understood.

The center of the future's shifting situation might just be Will Martial Dao!

Who created it?

Was it Lu Xunyang?

That seems unlikely; Lu Xunyang is only at the Eighth Rank.

Lu Xunyang is already powerful enough, but to think of him on the same level as the Master of Martial Dao.

That is still too sci-fi, too contrary to reason.

But then who could it be?

Who was the first Immortal Body?

Historical records state it was Lu Xunyang.

But one powerhouse after another speculates that it might be some true peak powerhouse.

Why has that person never appeared?

Or is it that beyond this world, there is another world?

That powerhouse who created Will Martial Dao might be a peak existence from another world.

Is it possible?

I don't know; no one knows if there is another world.

It was almost in an instant.

In Ji Province, Chen Province, Chi Province, and Lu Province, orders regarding the research of Will Martial Dao were issued.

It was too shocking.

Just as Chen Yan is beyond reason, so too is Will Martial Dao beyond reason.

This is a giant weapon capable of changing the world.

Powerhouse after powerhouse was stunned, unable to speak.

The people of Great Xia, however, were staring fixedly at the sky above the Qiong Heavens, wondering what exactly was happening inside that massive ball of lightning.

Some were nervous, some were excited, and even more were worried to the extreme.

Everyone in the world has seen Chen Yan's power.

But can Chen Yan survive that terrifying lightning tribulation?

I don't know.

One can only hope.

Inside the lightning ball.

Countless, uncountable bolts of lightning exploded upon Chen Yan's physical body.

Constantly grinding away, constantly blasting and killing.

"Come on, let's see if I am killed by you, or if I kill you."

Chen Yan was weeping blood, and he was laughing.

He felt no fear, and would not even stop his pace because of the pain.

He had already forced himself to death in order to create the Establishment Realm.

What else did he have to worry about?

He threw punches continuously, his fist intent roaring, his power erupting, his will pushed to the maximum.

He did not want to die, did not wish to die, and was not afraid to die.

Fight!

Fight!

Fight!

Skin split and flesh tore, bones were ground to dust.

He did not know how much time had passed.

Chen Yan could not even feel the existence of his physical body.

The massive lightning ball began to shrink.

Constantly condensing, endless lightning surged to envelop Chen Yan, but it no longer struck.

A human figure appeared before Chen Yan.

Just watching like that.

The two met, eyes locking.

"We meet again."

A low, masculine voice rang out.

He is the Zhou Ming of Jin Province, he is the son of the Founding Lord, he is the person erased by the Xia Lord.

Because of his existence, the Law-Extinguishing Realm appeared.

The Law-Extinguishing Realm, corresponding to the Law-Truth Realm of the Qi-Blood path, tells of a cruel fact.

The Master of Qi-Blood died at the hands of the Master of Horizontal Refining.

He is Xue Qi.

He is...

The Master of Qi-Blood.

Although he still had the appearance of Xue Qi, he wore golden robes and was incomparably imposing.

In his eyes, sorrow and anger flowed eternally.

He walked toward Chen Yan, and looking at the dying Master of Will, he reached out his hand:

"My fellow traveler."
