Chapter 454: Shocking the World, the True Battle of Peerless Prodigies!

The mountains collapsed, erupting with sounds that shook the heavens and the earth.

"Chen Yan, what trash."

High above in the sky, Chen Qi was still watching with a cold expression, but a voice of extreme chill reached his ears.

His expression turned fierce at once.

That was Chen Yan.

That was the peerless prodigy he valued.

What do you, Bing Yi, count for?

The anger in Chen Qi's heart was ignited once again, and his hatred for Bing Yi reached its peak.

In an instant.

On the Five Clans Rankings in the hands of every Five Clans prodigy, the battle between Bing Yi and Chen Yan was being broadcast in real-time.

Even on the Ji Continent battlefield, the Longevity King had also procured a Five Clans Ranking, waving a hand to project the images within it onto the high heavens.

Boom!

In the center of the rolling, countless giant boulders, that imitation of Chen Yan stood in the void, golden light erupting from his entire body like a scorching sun.

The imitation waved his arms, condensing powerful force, and the air began to roar and hum under the operation of this terrifying force.

At the wound site where Chen Yan had stabbed him, dense, tiny metal particles flowed, restoring the injury.

A forged Immortal Body.

Chen Yan's expression tightened slightly; this was not an Immortal Body at all, but a type of high-end technological technique.

The Chen Clan's simulation of him was actually refined to this degree.

But, is it useful?

Rumble!

Pitch-black wild lightning hissed, connecting to the earth to form a lightning net and blasting out countless cracks; Chen Yan had already arrived in front of the imitation in an instant.

With a shake of his long spear, a cold glint suddenly appeared, connecting lightning and ice, and he smashed toward the imitation in an instant.

And within the imitation's pupils, digital light flames like ocean waves flowed instantly, and he threw a punch out in a sudden moment.

Rumble!

Fist and spear collided, causing the void to collapse and roar continuously, erupting with waves of terrifying energy.

A hill was blasted apart once again, and as the battle circle between Chen Yan and the imitation shifted, a series of mountain ranges were collapsing and sinking.

"Bing Yi!"

High above in the sky, Lu Jianxia exclaimed in pleasant surprise.

Bing Yi had actually not fallen into a disadvantage, which made her smile at this moment.

One must know that before Chen Yan had reached the peak of the Fourth Rank, he had killed Lu Fusang in an instant.

Now, this imitation, although not Chen Yan, basically imitated ninety percent of Chen Yan's combat style and combat power.

Although Bing Yi is now Fifth Rank, logically speaking, it should be difficult to parry.

But at this moment, Bing Yi's performance was unexpected.

Chen Qi's expression was ugly to the extreme; he was unwilling to accept such a reality.

On the Qin Continent battlefield, the Xia Clan's million-strong army was watching.

At this moment, they all opened their mouths wide, and the previous cheers had quieted down a lot.

"This is the imitation? What kind of trash is this?"

Someone spoke in a low voice:

"It can hardly simulate one ten-thousandth of Chen Yan's flair. I come from Xiaoyang and once felt the pressure of Chen Yan's will from afar; even at a great distance, I was almost shocked into unconsciousness."

As his voice fell, many people began to echo him.

"This is a conspiracy of the Five Clans. To boost the morale of their Five Clans prodigies, they brought out a so-called Chen Yan imitation."

"An imitation is just an imitation!"

The army was unwilling to accept it; if Chen Yan could kill Lu Fusang in an instant, could he not kill this Bing Yi in an instant?

Is Bing Yi actually more powerful than Lu Fusang?

How is that possible?

However, there were still those who knew their stuff.

"Fifth Level Spear Realm; his spear realm is very strong. Just looking at it from afar gives me the feeling that it is about to pierce my soul!"

The person speaking was also a spear practitioner who had some understanding of the spear realm and was shocked by the spear realm displayed by Bing Yi.

"Bright Moon-level blood energy, this Bing Yi..."

Shen Yiwei frowned; he knew this Bing Yi was not Chen Yan, and his heart sank.

Are the prodigies of the Five Clans all this monstrous?

No!

"Below Chen Yan, there are no geniuses; this is something the Five Clans themselves admit. The only problem is that this Bing Yi is very strong!" Shen Yiwei said heavily.

Someone looked over with annoyance: "Can you stop talking?"

…………

Boom!

The imitation was like a mad demon, almost using his physical body to hard-resist Chen Yan's spear realm; he stretched out his arms and suddenly slammed his palms together.

A deafening explosion blasted in front of Chen Yan, and two lines of blood flowed out from within Chen Yan's eardrums.

Was I this powerful when I was at the peak of the Fourth Rank?

Chen Yan cursed inwardly.

He certainly had to admit that Bing Yi was not as good as Chen Yan.

But this was not Chen Yan; this was merely a counterfeit.

A robot that had simulated every aspect of his combat style.

The next moment, the counterfeit suddenly extended a finger, a white jade light erupting from its fingertip, and an intense sense of crisis struck.

"Dodge quickly!"

High above, Lu Jianxia shouted in a low voice.

The next moment.

Sshh!

A white laser beam erupted from the counterfeit's fingertip, grazing Chen Yan's forehead and slamming into the firmament, blasting a terrifying giant crater into the sky.

In the high heavens, Chi Xun's eyes trembled.

Chen Qi narrowed his eyes.

This was a forged 【Radiance Condensation Style】.

It was not the 【Radiance Condensation Style】, but a Chen Clan hard-qigong martial art extremely similar to the 【Radiance Condensation Style】.

It was a martial art array disk engraved within the counterfeit's body; every time the counterfeit used it, the array disk's lifespan would decrease accordingly.

Supplemented by the explosion of the electrical core inside the counterfeit, it could imitate Chen Yan's 【Radiance Condensation Style】 by ninety percent.

The Chen Clan, wishing to cultivate a peerless talent similar to Chen Yan, had long ago established a high-level research institute with the goal of studying Chen Yan.

This counterfeit was for assessing students.

But to this day, no one could defeat it at the same cultivation realm, and not even those at the Fifth Rank had defeated it.

Only those at the Sixth Rank had defeated it.

But those who defeated this counterfeit were all geniuses on the Sixth Rank leaderboard.

This was Chen Yan, the invincible peerless talent!

Chen Qi did not believe that this Bing Yi could hold on.

The 【Radiance Condensation Style】 was, after all, Chen Yan's ultimate technique.

The next moment.

"Kill!"

A low roar came from below, carrying endless cold intent.

Chen Qi's gaze shrank as he looked downward.

On Bing Yi's mask, there was a spark of fire, still emitting blue smoke.

"Damn it!"

Chen Qi roared lowly, having forgotten about that mask.

This mask was not made of ordinary materials; it could even shield his perception, so how could it be ordinary material?

If not for this mask, Bing Yi would already be dead.

The next moment.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Golden light swirled and condensed around the counterfeit's body, and golden light orbs condensed in an instant.

Like a Nine Nether god or demon, as the counterfeit's fists exploded outward, the light orbs struck toward Chen Yan like countless falling stars.

This was not 【Void-Breaking - Saint Explosion】 at all, but rather explosive bombs condensed by an array disk.

But at this moment, even Chen Yan had to admit that the Chen Clan had simulated it very well, very nicely.

All of his strengths and weaknesses had been fully simulated.

This was perfect!

Chen Yan had almost thought he had no weaknesses.

Only now did he discover that he was actually quite mediocre.

He actually had so many weaknesses.

Standing from a second-person perspective to fight oneself seemed to be able to exponentially improve one's grasp of combat power.

At this moment, within the Saint-Breaking Realm.

Rolling golden light surged, and the 【Technique】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit began to grow rapidly.

Chen Yan was observing himself, capturing himself, and even more so, correcting himself.

The pitch-black wild lightning around his body roared like a flood dragon churning within a raging sea; spear shadows flickered and smashed, and countless ice crystals pierced out, colliding with these light orbs.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

In the void, over a dozen flashes of fire were blasted out in an instant.

"Chen Yan can cross realms to slay Lu Fusang, but do you all think..."

He roared in a low voice, his figure turning into electricity, just like a meteor chasing the moon, attacking with every spear strike, forcing the counterfeit to retreat step by step.

"... that a Realm-Breaker is not even as good as Lu Fusang?!"

His voice resounded just like that, and the figures of Chen Yan and the counterfeit both turned into two streams of light, constantly colliding in the void, light and flames shattering.

The cold ice Qi and the scorching fist wind clashed head-on, ice shards and flames colliding and dissolving, emitting a harsh "sizzling" sound.

Combat produces technique.

This battle was comparable to a great fortuitous encounter.

Only when one is constantly wanting to kill oneself will one grow more rapidly.

One 【Technique】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit matured.

Then, two!

Three!

Four!

Five!

As the five 【Skill】 character Saint-Breaking Fruits were successively consumed, Chen Yan's combat techniques improved significantly.

He discovered that he was still very weak; even though he had been able to kill Lu Fusang in an instant back then, he was still pitifully weak.

His attacks were full of redundant movements.

His movements were also full of problems from various angles; his understanding of muscle operation was unclear, and his control over air currents was unclear.

He had not considered resistance, nor had he considered energy.

In a battle, even the energy leakage produced by a single electric arc was enough to change the subsequent course of the fight.

He, Chen Yan, had been able to defeat enemies only by relying on brute force, by relying on the crushing weight of his combat power, and by relying on the strength of his will.

Will, will, will.

How many enemies are there that would give you the chance to unleash your will?

You are not precise enough, you are not confident enough, and you do not correct your mistakes.

It just won't do!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

A series of explosions!

One after another, massive spatial pits resembling deep craters were created!

The figures of Chen Yan and the imitation rushed about constantly, crashing into mountains and slamming into the earth.

Mountains collapsed, and the ground caved in.

It was almost like the apocalypse; tens of kilometers of land collapsed as the battle spread.

The two exchanged hundreds, even thousands of blows in an instant, and every exchange was a collision between killing intent and killing intent.

"Brilliant!"

High above in the sky, a series of clapping sounds rang out.

"A Saint-Breaking Realm prodigy is truly a different concept from other prodigies. It is simply rare to see two Saint-Breaking Realm prodigies fight; ordinary top-ranked experts on the Fifth-Tier Ranking would have died countless times in a battle like this."

A sharp light flashed in Chi Xun's eyes; any powerhouse with a pursuit of the Martial Dao would have the same feelings and thoughts as him at this moment.

Brilliant!

"Bing Yi has been hiding his true skill all this time," Ji Hai also said in shock:

"To think he hid so much!"

Chen Qi's expression was ugly, while strange colors flowed in Lu Jianxia's eyes.

They were all peak powerhouses.

How could they not understand what level of improvement Bing Yi's combat power had reached?

In this battle, the Bing Yi from the beginning and the Bing Yi now were two different things.

The eruption of that combat technique was terrifying to behold.

"So, he was still hiding it; you really know how to hide!"

Lu Jianxia spoke, knitting her brows.

Could this be the real Bing Yi?

But she did not smile; she could not smile, and her voice even trembled slightly, because Bing Yi seemed to have reached his limit.

Yet, it was also at this moment.

At this moment, Chen Yan was covered in blood, which flowed continuously, and there were over a dozen deep bloody pits on his physical body; he was completely exhausted.

But he seemed to have attained enlightenment, as if he had entered a certain state.

This state was unprecedented.

This was brought about after Chen Yan truly examined himself for the first time.

At this moment, the imitation had already charged over, covered in bloody holes, but its aura was terrifying.

Chen Qi's eyes widened; Bing Yi was failing, he was going to die!

Lu Jianxia gritted her teeth; Lu Fusang had failed, could it be that Bing Yi would fail too?

She actually felt a sense of despair.

Once such a Chen Yan emerged from seclusion, what would he bring to the Five Clans?

Yet, it was also at this moment.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm, that terrifying golden light erupted to its absolute peak.

Seven 【Skill】 character Saint-Breaking Fruits.

Eight!

…………

Twelve!

…………

Nineteen!

…………

Thirty!

…………

Thirty-nine!

Thirty-nine 【Skill】 character Saint-Breaking Fruits!

Enlightenment!

An instant!

All the Saint-Breaking Fruits were swallowed into the belly!

Standing high in the sky, the phantoms of a True Dragon and a Black Tortoise flashed through Chen Yan's eyes in an instant!

Roar!

Shriek!

The hissing of the Black Tortoise and the Ice Dragon resounded at this moment.

Streaks of Ice Dragon and Black Tortoise phantoms transformed into countless stars around Chen Yan, coiling around the spear tip.

The terrifying gravity of Qi and blood was unleashed, suppressing and killing in a single breath.

Immediately, the True Dragon and Black Tortoise phantoms condensed at the spear tip, following Chen Yan's spear strike.

Like a swastika rotating, the spear light poured out instantly.

【Void-Breaking - Swastika Evolution Dragon Kill】!

Evolved from the Azure Vault-grade, second-tier Qi and blood martial art, 【Void-Breaking - Ice Dragon Waterfall】!

Within it, Chen Yan's self-reflection and self-correction were added!

Bright Moon-grade, first-tier martial art!

Chen Yan created a martial art today!

Boom!

The instant this spear light struck, the body of the imitation was blasted by the swastika spear light, and a half-cross wound appeared on its physical body.

It was blasted away just like that, crashing into a great mountain, with dust filling the sky!

With a thud, after executing this move, Chen Yan's entire body collapsed onto the earth, blood spilling all over the ground.

"A self-created martial art!"

Lu Jianxia exclaimed, somewhat incredulous, wearing a dazed expression.

Chi Xun's expression was stunned, saying somewhat uncertainly:

"Could it be a martial art of the Yu Clan?"

"It is self-created; he had the feeling of executing this move just now, and in this very instant, he fully unleashed it!"

Lu Jianxia spoke.

In this battle, Chen Yan and Bing Yi fought until the sky grew dark.

Everyone watching the battle had almost forgotten the time, only now discovering that the sky had turned dark.

Above Ji Province.

The million-strong army was silent.

At this moment, there was no sound of discussion.

The million-strong army was collectively shocked.

What that imitation was imitating was the fourth-rank peak Chen Yan.

Powerful!

Oppressive to the point of making it hard to breathe!

No one could deny the power of this imitation; this should not be the combat strength a fourth-rank should possess.

Even a fifth-rank should not have it.

In one battle, the collisions between the two might have already numbered in the hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

Every collision contained the layout and calculation for subsequent movements, with murderous intent at every step.

One wrong step, and one would die.

But that Bing Yi was also shockingly powerful.

Even if it was a fifth-rank, even if it was a higher realm fighting a lower realm.

But who would say that the lower-ranked Chen Yan was weaker than a fifth-rank?

Even the number one of the fifth-rank, Lu Fusang, was killed in an instant by a single move from Chen Yan.

No one would have thought that this Bing Yi could reach this point, and even suppress Chen Yan's imitation.

Terrified!

Silence.

Stillness!

Across the entire battlefield, no one spoke.

At this moment, watching this scene.

There were also the Five Clans.

"Bing Yi."

The Empress of Ji Province's expression flickered; she also had not expected it to be like this.

It seemed she truly should not have said that word 'approve'.

Overseas.

The Yu Master stood quietly, whispering:

"It has surpassed the simulation calculations; he actually secretly upgraded his own simulation core."

His voice was somewhat cold:

"He has such great audacity; how much did he embezzle from that matter? This was a core that could have shaped eighth-rank combat strength."

He was silent:

"But he is my son; if he can truly survive, it can be considered his own ability, and that simulation core should indeed be his."

"The Chen Clan has actually mastered the technology of my Yu Province, though it is not yet mature."

Following this, the figure of the Yu Lord dissipated.
