Chapter 452: Divine Technique Revealed!

Boom!

A giant hand covering the sky and blocking the sun descended in an instant to suppress and kill; everything seemed destined to be destroyed beneath this palm, reduced to powder.

Upon the earth.

Yet spear shadows flickered, erupting!

Chen Yan unleashed a spear strike, and sand and stone actually floated upward, rotating in an orderly fashion around the long spear.

The Realm of Extreme Piercing sublimated once more at this moment, and a visible stream of Qi sprayed out from the spear tip, shooting straight toward the firmament!

The spear realm has leveled up!

Lu Jianxia transformed into a stream of light and rushed toward Chen Yan, her knuckles turning white from the force, her teeth clenched tight.

Bing Yi's spear realm has leveled up!

Two levels in a row.

Incredible, such exceptional talent!

But right now, it is Chen Qi who is about to strike at Bing Yi.

What should be done?!

But seeing the terrifying giant palm about to descend, even Lu Jianxia felt a sense of powerlessness.

She understood the reason for Bing Yi's strike, but it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be so reckless!

This Chen Qi had already abandoned Chen Yan because he saw a glimpse of Bing Yi's future, and he felt disgust toward Bing Yi.

Now, he is even more determined to truly annihilate Bing Yi.

High above, Chen Qi was expressionless, filled with a domineering aura; he looked down at Bing Yi on the earth, and upon seeing Bing Yi's spear realm level up, the cold light in his eyes deepened.

"The son of the Universe Master is truly lawless!"

He brought down a single palm, and the phantom of the giant palm that descended ignited with terrifying flames, instantly illuminating the entire Wanxiang Island, an indescribably powerful aura intent on completely annihilating everything.

To the side, Ji Hai's eyes also flashed, wanting to say something, but he kept his mouth shut.

Chen Qi was truly angered.

Even if Bing Yi is the son of the Universe Master, he must be respectful in front of Chen Qi.

Chen Qi is, after all, the Great Elder of the Chen Clan.

Bing Yi is really a bit too arrogant.

He killed Chen Manyan and Chen Youyi one after the other right in front of Chen Qi.

Both of these were geniuses on the Five Clans Ranking.

This is not the Yu Clan.

"Chen Qi!!!"

Lu Jianxia screamed out loud.

On the earth, Chen Yan coldly watched the giant palm falling from the high heavens, feeling the pressure coming from the Eighth Rank.

Terrifying, horrifying, it made it almost impossible for him to parry, impossible to breathe.

But...

Does Chen Qi really dare to kill him?

Although this person's emotions were of violent rage, he still possessed reason, and at this moment, he was even beginning to hesitate.

The higher one stands, the more one has to consider.

Chen Qi should understand what kind of repercussions annihilating the son of the Universe Master would cause.

He indeed wanted to kill Bing Yi, but he would never use such a method.

And besides...

Chen Yan looked at the other person high in the sky.

All around, the natives of Wanxiang Island on the high mountains were now wailing in terror.

Facing this world-destroying giant palm, no one could muster a shred of intent to resist.

Lu Jianxia's cheeks turned deathly pale, yet she suddenly saw that Bing Yi below was standing still in the high air, not fleeing, not begging for mercy, and even appearing calm to the extreme.

This scene was seen by everyone.

This was a moment of extreme peril, but everyone saw Bing Yi's attitude at this time.

They were all somewhat unable to react.

But in the next moment.

Boom!

The malice surrounding Chen Yan instantly expanded, rotating violently like a cyclone.

A suction force, powerful to the extreme, was generated from within Chen Yan's origin space, intending to suck Chen Yan into the Child Lamp.

This was because Chen Yan had killed Chen Youyi.

Lu Jianxia opened her red lips; Bing Yi was already full of malice from slaughtering so many Ancient Divine Beasts.

Now, because he killed Chen Youyi, the Child Lamp had released malice and suction once again.

This new wave of malice was even more intense than what was produced when Bing Yi killed the Ancient Divine Beasts before.

Even a Seventh Ranker would not dare to endure it.

She found it hard to accept.

Even if Chen Qi did not annihilate Bing Yi, in this environment, could Bing Yi still hold on?

At the same time.

With a boom.

A deafening, terrifying sound pierced through the heavens and earth, and circles upon circles of terrifying air waves spread out from beneath the giant palm.

Endless flames ignited in the palm of the giant hand, scorching the heavens and burning the earth.

Beneath the giant hand, a figure suddenly appeared; his robes fluttered violently, his long hair danced wildly, and rolling energy fluctuations overflowed and exploded from his body, creating countless cracks in the void that appeared like a shattered icy lake.

Chi Xun extended an arm, struck the descending giant hand with a single palm, and stood firm in the void.

The next moment, his arm, which seemed to prop up the heavens, gathered strength slightly; rings of force surged from his shoulder into his forearm and exploded within Chi Xun's palm.

Boom!!!

A roar that sounded like it was tearing the eardrums!

That giant hand, which had almost seemed capable of destroying the world, shattered instantly, turning into endless firelight that hung upside down in the clouds and burned the firmament.

"Chi Xun!" Chen Qi shouted in a low voice, cold light shooting from his eyes.

"Elder Chen, let it be."

Chi Xun's robes billowed as he glanced at Chen Yan below:

"When Five-Clan Ranking prodigies kill each other, the Child Lamp itself will impose punishment; why must you interfere and force Bing Yi to die?"

Chen Qi's gaze was sharp to the extreme as he shouted in a low voice:

"He killed my Chen Clan prodigy, did you not see?"

"Among the Five-Clan Ranking prodigies, many kill each other; it is just that you happened to see this one. If they do not kill, how can there be geniuses?" Chi Xun said indifferently:

"Geniuses are all forged through killing."

As Chi Xun spoke, he glanced downward; Chen Yan had already begun to resist the malice and the suction of the Child Lamp, and he transmitted his voice directly:

"Forget it, do you not wish for me to take action?"

He swept a glance at Chen Qi and continued the voice transmission:

"Just go through the motions; it doesn't matter if Bing Yi dies in a struggle between peers.

But if you, a Great Elder, kill the son of the Universe Lord, how will you resolve it afterward?"

Chen Qi's face turned livid as he roared at Chi Xun:

"You are no good bird either!"

Chi Xun gave a faint smile, the smile somewhat cold.

The next moment.

Chen Qi waved a single hand, and a golden light intertwined with secret scripts erupted from his fingertips; within the void, countless profound Dao sounds seemed to ring out.

"Invoke the Five-Clan Law!"

As his voice fell, everyone trembled.

All looked at Chen Qi in disbelief.

"Elder Chen, are you for real?" Lu Jianxia scolded with a ferocious voice.

But the next moment.

The golden light at Chen Qi's fingertips instantly transformed into five streams of light that flew to every corner of the world.

Within the world, pairs of eyes opened one after another, looking toward Wanxiang Island.

"Chen Qi, is it necessary to take this matter to such an extent?"

A grand voice pierced through the endless void and rang out above Wanxiang Island.

"Bing Yi has successively killed two of my Chen Clan's prodigies; Chen Manyan goes without saying, he deserved his crime, but what did Chen Youyi do wrong?"

Chen Qi shouted in a low voice:

"He had good intentions to help Bing Yi, but because he killed a small Ancient Divine Beast, he was killed directly by Bing Yi!

The son of the Universe Lord is lawless!"

On the other side of the endless void, those eyes flickered, and a light sigh was heard:

"Invoke the Five-Clan Law!"

His voice continued to extend, distant and long-lasting.

"Invoke the Five-Clan Law."

"Invoke the Five-Clan Law."

Voices, some old, some youthful, some hoarse, rang out across the entire Four Directions of the Five Clans.

And it was at this moment.

Jin Province, Xia Yue Prince's Mansion.

Xia Hanzhou flew into the courtyard and stared at the high sky, a trace of a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth:

"It seems these Five Clans are not peaceful either, hahaha!"

He laughed out loud; this was a good thing.

Xia Hanzhou gazed again, wanting to see clearly what exactly had happened.

Yet the next moment.

His face turned livid.

"Damn it!"

He roared in a low voice.

What is the situation?

He took out a ranking list, and upon seeing it, his brain shook.

Yu Yi had already been promoted to the fourteenth position of the second tier.

Xia Hanzhou was speechless.

What are you trying to do?

You yourself are disguised; if you don't act out your identity well, why must you kill a Chen Clan prodigy right in front of Chen Qi?

"Damn it!"

Xia Hanzhou let out a low roar, and the next moment, he flew directly toward the State Governance Mansion.

…………

Almost in an instant, high above the Ten Thousand Phases Island.

The void seemed to be brutally torn open by a pair of invisible giant hands, and a blinding light surged out from that deep rift.

Within the light, a magnificent and majestic Divine Court slowly emerged.

The architecture of the Divine Court was towering and lofty; the palace gates opened slowly, and a strong, sacred aura permeated the area.

Through the gaps in the palace gates, one could see phantoms overflowing with brilliance sitting cross-legged within.

Chen Qi coldly glanced at Chen Yan, who was still struggling against the malice on the ground, and entered the Divine Court the next moment.

"The crime of Bing Yi lies in ignoring the Five-Clan Alliance, in wantonly slaughtering, in exterminating the prodigies of the five clans, and in destroying the future of the five clans. If this child does not die, my heart will not be at peace!"

Chen Qi's resounding voice was still echoing when the gates of the great hall slowly closed.

Lu Jianxia looked with difficulty at the Divine Court high in the sky, and the next moment, she flew to Chen Yan's side.

Chi chi chi!

Chen Yan was still using his will to corrode the malice while simultaneously resisting the powerful suction force emanating from the Child Lamp.

"Bing Yi, you..." Lu Jianxia's brows lifted slightly; she was surprised.

Bing Yi had not been too severely affected by this malice.

He could even suppress it.

But immediately after, Lu Jianxia's brows furrowed, because Chen Qi was still judging Bing Yi.

There was no telling what kind of punishment would be handed down in a moment.

"You shouldn't have killed Chen Youyi," Lu Jianxia said in a low voice.

"Do you think I killed the wrong person?" Chen Yan asked.

Lu Jianxia choked; she looked at Chen Yan and sighed:

"Malice cannot be eliminated; it will dissipate and then condense again. You slaughtered the Ancient Divine Beast here."

"The malice you scattered will form an Ancient Divine Beast again in another place."

"That place will once again turn into a village like this."

Lu Jianxia pursed her red lips:

"Do you know that the malice you scattered today might condense in my Lu Province tomorrow?"

The malice, like a black tornado, wrapped around Chen Yan and swallowed him.

She knew what Lu Jianxia meant; the fact that there was so much malice here was a tragedy for Ten Thousand Phases Island, but a stroke of luck for other places.

Therefore, they could indifferently watch living beings being slaughtered, ignoring it, or even wantonly killing.

In this place, there were no humans, only Ancient Divine Beasts.

Lu Jianxia was still speaking.

But suddenly, Chen Yan's slender-fingered hand reached out from the vortex of malice, wisps of pitch-black malice floating from his fingertips, which were then directly devoured and extinguished.

"Didn't you see?"

Chen Yan's voice was icy:

"I didn't scatter the malice; I am devouring and extinguishing the malice!"

Lu Jianxia's expression trembled.

High in the sky, Chi Xun looked down at Chen Yan below, his eyes very calm.

"Am I brutal? Am I lawless?" Chen Yan shouted in a low voice:

"Am I a maniacal killer?"

"Am I a maniacal killer?!"

He rebuked aloud, his killing intent no longer able to be concealed.

"I, Bing Yi, slaughtered the Gong family and the Luo family, killing thousands; my hands are covered in blood!"

"So I am a maniacal killing demon!"

Chen Yan laughed; he did not intend to explain anything.

He was indeed a maniacal killing demon.

But he hadn't killed enough yet; it was too little, too little.

In his future, he would exterminate ten thousand, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands!

He was cold-blooded to the extreme.

Chen Yan was a Divine General, upright and magnificent.

He, Bing Yi, was just a killing demon with hands full of blood.

Ridiculous!

The greatest farce in the world!

Chen Youyi, who disregarded living beings, was innocent, while Bing Yi, who killed Chen Youyi, was brutal.

This was the Five Clans, this was the world!

He, Chen Yan, was already cold-blooded enough, ruthless enough.

He killed without blinking an eye.

But he could not do what Chen Youyi did.

Lu Jianxia and the others saw the tragic state of Ten Thousand Phases Island here, and clearly, they could change the status quo with a single hand.

But they just watched quietly.

In their eyes, the living beings of Great Xia are not living beings; they are insects, they are ants.

Would you feel anger in your heart upon seeing ants being killed?

You could pour oil over an anthill, set it ablaze, wipe out tens of thousands in an instant, and laugh heartily.

But these people are not ants.

At least in Chen Yan's eyes, they are not.

Lu Jianxia fell silent; she looked at Chen Yan.

"I did nothing wrong; I didn't step in to help, I only watched," she said calmly:

"You cannot view me as a demon as well."

She spoke words she should not have spoken.

She did not know what kind of look was in Bing Yi's eyes beneath the mask at this moment.

Disgust?

Or something else?

Lu Jianxia felt very uncomfortable; she is the daughter of the Lu Master, noble and not to be trifled with by others.

But now, Bing Yi's words made her unable to feel noble.

It was as if she were filthy to the extreme.

She simply did not act; she did not inflict harm, she did not eradicate, she simply did not act.

She simply did not intervene.

This is the territory of Chen Prefecture; standing in her position, it is impossible for her to interfere in the internal affairs of Ten Thousand Phases Island because of matters here.

She stretched out both hands, condensed an array disk in her palms, and began to dilute the malice surrounding Chen Yan.

"The Lord is not a murderous demon; the Lord is a Godly Child who saved us and fell into danger himself!"

A voice filled with extreme grief rang out.

An old man covered in black markings ran to Chen Yan's front and knelt down.

On the great mountain in the distance, thousands upon thousands of the human race were running down, full of gratitude and worry.

The old man's eyes were full of guilt and concern; he tremblingly stretched out his hands, chanting words that were hard to distinguish, and a pitch-black phantom slowly emerged from beside him.

This phantom was similar in build to the old man; it stretched out its hands and made contact with the malice surrounding Chen Yan.

Sss, sss, sss...

The rolling malice was absorbed by this dark shadow, and soon the dark shadow turned into a clone laden with malice.

The old man's face was deathly pale; under his control, that dark shadow quickly moved away and exploded at the other end of the village, the terrifying malice dissolving into the heavens and earth.

The old man lay on the ground; that move just now had nearly cost him his life.

But at this moment.

Almost in an instant.

Lu Jianxia, Chi Xun, and even Chen Yan all looked at the old man.

Chen Yan's gaze flickered, and his heart was pounding at this moment.

This is...

【Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill】!

A Godly Technique!

He had actually seen a native of Ten Thousand Phases Island perform 【Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill】.

It absolutely was!

"It's not, it's not that," Chi Xun said from high above:

"It is just a blood-Qi clone capable of containing malice, with not a shred of combat power."

Even Chi Xun laughed; he had been startled just now.

But upon reflection, it was definitely not.

【Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill】 is a Godly Technique, after all; how could it appear here, appearing on a living being already tortured into an unrecognizable state by malice?

"There are many martial techniques that can create blood-Qi clones," Lu Jianxia said from the side.

Chen Yan did not speak; he only looked at the old man.

It absolutely was!

Neither Chi Xun nor Lu Jianxia had the opportunity to come into contact with 【Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill】.

Even on the Child Lamp, there were the markings of the opening chapter.

But that was only an opening chapter.

Therefore, the two of them did not have as much knowledge of 【Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill】 as Chen Yan.

Chen Yan has the Saint-Breaking Tree and can deduce the direction of martial techniques based on the amount of golden light.

And just now.

The martial technique this old man performed was almost exactly the same as what Chen Yan had deduced.

If there were some discrepancies, that could also be because Chen Yan had deduced it incorrectly.

After all, according to the content Chen Yan had deduced, he was completely unable to perform even a shred of 【Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill】.

A Godly Technique—how could it be so easily deduced?

It wasn't the 【Extreme Refining Eight Styles】.

Chen Yan looked at the old man, sensing the other's emotions; the old man was also in a state of confusion at this moment.

This island holds a secret.

A massive secret!

Beneath Chen Yan's mask, his gaze trembled.
