Chapter 467: Huge Gains

Once he entered directly, it would certainly attract the absolute attention of Chen Qi and the others; he had to pretend that he had discovered it by accident.

The Myriad Aspect Divine Tree was indeed emitting precious Qi, which was much denser than in other places.

Chen Yan sat cross-legged in silence.

He began to perceive the Saint-Breaking Tree.

【Saint-Breaking Tree (Level 9): 7231/】

The progress of the Saint-Breaking Tree had reached nearly half.

The biggest reason for this was the output of the three fruits: 【Blood】, 【Body】, and 【Force】.

The blood-Qi energy contained within a single Myriad Aspect Fruit was equivalent to sixty Sun-Radiance Grade C-tier pills.

This allowed Chen Yan's 【Blood】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit to grow directly by more than two thousand nine hundred pieces.

It allowed Chen Yan's 【Body】 character and 【Force】 character Saint-Breaking Fruits to grow by a total of more than two thousand two hundred pieces.

If not for the fact that Chen Yan's 【Forging Expansion Vault of Heaven】 and 【Illusionary Ripple Abyss Domain】 had both reached the Micro-level.

And even with the help of the Myriad Aspect Divine Fruit, he had the opportunity to reach the Divine-Entry level.

Coupled with the cultivation array that Lu Jianxia had previously deployed, it would have been impossible for Chen Yan to absorb it all within a dozen days.

Moreover, the further Chen Yan went in the process of absorbing the Myriad Aspect Fruit, the faster his speed became.

This was determined by the characteristics of the Myriad Aspect Fruit, which contained mysteries that were nearly akin to the Dao.

This also made Chen Yan look forward to the Myriad Aspect Divine Tree even more.

The only pity was that Chen Yan could not absorb the lingering mental power within the Myriad Aspect Divine Fruit, and it dissipated very quickly.

Chen Yan had originally intended to save it for his younger sister.

What a pity.

Of course, Chen Yan still had the 【Storage】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit.

【Storage: 657/100】

On the Saint-Breaking Tree, seven gray fruits, shaped like sacks, hung down and swayed.

Even now, Chen Yan did not know how much energy was contained within a single 【Storage】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit.

After all, the 【Storage】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit was too large, completely different from the other Saint-Breaking Fruits.

But Chen Yan had no time to absorb it now.

Chen Yan simply felt the lingering charm of the Myriad Aspect Divine Fruit like this, sitting quietly cross-legged on a branch of the Myriad Aspect Divine Tree.

High in the air.

Ji Haiyi also frowned:

"What is he doing?"

"He is absorbing the precious Qi emitted by the Myriad Aspect Divine Tree; he has no resources left."

Chi Xun spoke quietly.

"The others have all gone to the Black Tower, why doesn't he go?" Ji Haiyi spoke again.

Chi Xun smiled:

"What he must do now is to hurriedly adjust his own state to cope with the arrival of the next Chen Yan imitation, and you saw it just now, too."

Chi Xun was also muttering to himself at this moment.

What was Chen Yan doing?

But he still had to explain a reasonable cause for Chen Yan's current behavior.

Ji Haiyi understood, and his expression as he looked at Bing Yi gradually changed.

The dignified son of a Universe Master had actually been forced into such a plight.

The Chen Clan was still quite overbearing.

"Elder Chi, can you lend me some precious medicine? I will definitely pay you back!" Lu Jianxia spoke up.

Chi Xun raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Look at his state; what use is more precious medicine? It would just be a waste of the Myriad Aspect Divine Fruit," Ji Haiyi said.

Bing Yi was monstrous enough.

But he had participated in a game that was certain death.

Why kill that Chen Youyi?

Lu Jianxia narrowed her eyes, still looking at Chi Xun.

"Lu Jianxia, you have interfered too many times," Chen Qi said indifferently:

"During the previous struggle for the Myriad Aspect Divine Fruit, none of the three of us took the field, yet you did."

Lu Jianxia snorted coldly:

"That Bing Yi killed Chen Youyi, so why did you take the field?"

Chen Qi let out a cold laugh and swept his gaze indifferently toward Bing Yi below.

With Bing Yi in this current state, no matter how much Lu Jianxia struggled, it would be useless.

After a while.

Chen Yan opened his eyes because Lu Jianxia had arrived.

"You lack resources?" Lu Jianxia spoke, her pair of silver eyes fixed on Chen Yan.

"I don't." Chen Yan understood the other party's intention in an instant, and he sighed inwardly.

He did not want to have too much entanglement with her, even if he was not Chen Yan right now, but Bing Yi.

"How could you not lack them?" Lu Jianxia raised her eyebrows:

"I know you don't like to owe others; this is a gift for you."

She was just about to take out the precious medicine.

"No matter how much precious medicine you give me, it is useless; I need to recuperate myself now," Chen Yan said.

Lu Jianxia's body trembled.

Bing Yi's aptitude had actually been damaged to such a degree.

High above, the expressions of Ji Haiyi and Chi Xun changed slightly, and even Chen Qi frowned slightly.

The next moment, everyone felt relieved.

After all, it had been soaking in the River of Malice for too long.

Lu Jianxia was silent for a long time; she looked at Bing Yi and felt only calmness, no panic.

Lu Jianxia lowered her head slightly, a few strands of hair sliding down from her cheek, covering half of her face.

She was just about to speak.

"I still want to keep fighting; I can die, but I cannot lose."

Chen Yan's voice sounded again.

Lu Jianxia's lips subconsciously curled downward slightly.

"I understand."

She flew into the high sky.

"Princess Jianxia, you have already helped me enough; from now on, whether Bing Yi lives or dies, please do not worry about it anymore," Chen Yan continued.

Lu Jianxia's body stiffened; she looked at Chen Yan:

"Fine."

She only spat out one word.

"Bing Yi is a warrior!"

Ji Haiyi spoke, feeling somewhat moved at this moment, even though he could not develop any good feelings for Bing Yi.

He rarely saw such a soaring, undying fighting spirit in the younger generation.

Chen Qi was silent, and at this moment, there was actually a ripple in his heart.

No wonder the future Bing Yi he saw that day would be a God of Slaughter with hands stained by the blood of hundreds of thousands.

He could not help but compare him to Chen Yan.

Then he slowly shook his head.

Was he wrong?

He was not wrong.

Bing Yi could reprimand Chen Youyi and could severely injure Chen Youyi, but he should not have killed Chen Youyi.

This was the result Bing Yi deserved.

A person destined to die.

Chi Xun, however, pursed his lips.

What are you pretending for?

I almost believed you.

You haven't even used your Immortal Body.

What a fucking freak!

Chi Xun now knew why Xia Hanzhou had given him such instructions to protect Chen Yan's safety at all costs.

This person is a freak.

Chi Xun was silent, pondering the possibility of Chen Yan entering the Forbidden Land of the Ancient Gods.

If Chen Yan entered the Forbidden Land of the Ancient Gods, could he come out?

Could he bring his sister Chi Mi and Lu Xunyang back?

If he could bring them back, then everything would be fine.

He glanced at Chen Qi, a coldness emerging in his heart.

His sister Chi Mi was harmed by Chen He of the Chen Clan.

And that Chen He is now the Second Elder of the Chen Clan, with overwhelming power.

The Chen Clan is too powerful!

Therefore, the most likely people to destroy the Chen Clan are the Chen Clan's own people.

Time passed slowly.

Throughout the day, except for Lu Jianxia and Chi Xun, who glanced over a few times inadvertently.

Chen Qi and Ji Haiyi no longer cared about Bing Yi.

It was also at this moment.

Chen Yan slowly turned his head and looked at that tree crevice again; he first looked around a few times, then stood up and walked into the tree crevice.

Lu Jianxia's eyebrows lifted slightly; Bing Yi had discovered a certain crevice in the Myriad Aspect Divine Tree.

Chi Xun raised his head.

He understood.

He definitely understood!

He knew that Bing Yi was Chen Yan, and he knew that Chen Yan was definitely not severely injured at this moment.

Then all of the other party's previous actions were to prepare for entering the tree crevice at this moment.

Pretending that he only saw it inadvertently, and then just going in to see if there was any treasure.

Holy shit?

Is there a fortuitous encounter inside that tree crevice?

Holy crap?

You want to seize a fortuitous encounter right under the noses of Eighth-Order beings.

You are this.

Chi Xun gave a thumbs-up in his heart.

Chen Yan's movements were very light, but how could he hide from Eighth-Order perception?

The moment he stood up, Chen Qi and Ji Haiyi both swept their gazes toward him.

But the two didn't pay it any mind; it was clear that Bing Yi had only discovered it by chance.

Chen Yan entered the tree crevice, activated his protective patterns, and slowly concealed his own aura.

This tree crevice was very narrow; even after crawling downward for five hundred meters, it remained extremely cramped.

Gradually, it widened.

Faint radiance appeared within Chen Yan's line of sight.

Until at one point, layers of thin membranes blocked Chen Yan's path.

These were layers of mucus.

They must have been secreted by the Myriad-Form Ants mentioned by the Black-Marked Elder; it was these layers of mucus that blocked external perception and prevented the scent of the Myriad-Form Spirit Liquid within from leaking out.

A bit crafty.

Chen Yan gently tore open the first layer of mucus, and after his body passed through, he stuck this layer of mucus back onto the tree shell so the treasure aura wouldn't leak out.

Continuing downward, Chen Yan repeatedly tore them open and stuck them back on, passing through over a thousand layers of mucus.

Until reaching the bottom, the entire interior of the Myriad-Form Divine Tree had been hollowed out into wooden passages.

Chen Yan sniffed the treasure aura wafting upward and chose a wooden passage to fly down into.

His line of sight gradually opened up.

He saw silver ants rapidly climbing along the inner walls of the tree trunk; these ants were arranged in an orderly fashion, as if following some mysterious command.

At the base of the great tree, a spirit pool lay quietly.

The water of the spirit pool was clear and transparent, yet it emitted a dazzling colorful light; the pool water rippled slightly, and the treasure aura was dense and swirling, rising in wisps and transforming into multicolored halos, dreamlike and illusory.

Chen Yan's eyes flickered.

This pool of Myriad-Form Spirit Liquid had nurtured this entire colony of Myriad-Form Ants.

Chen Yan's figure was concealed, and even as Myriad-Form Ants with auras at the Golden Body realm crawled past him, they didn't discover him at all.

Chen Yan continued to fly downward.

Until he made contact with the Myriad-Form Spirit Liquid, a cool and moist sensation washed over him.

Chen Yan did not hesitate any longer and entered directly into the spirit pool.

He moved slowly downward, following the edge of the pool—that is, the tree wall—and discovered large, hollowed-out living chambers.

In some chambers, dense crowds of Myriad-Form Ants were soaking side-by-side, absorbing the Myriad-Form Spirit Liquid.

Chen Yan chose an ant-free chamber, swam inside, and took out his Independent Cultivation Room.

After all, the cultivation room still contained the cultivation formation set up by Lu Jianxia.

Chen Yan first filled the cultivation room with Myriad-Form Spirit Liquid, then closed the door and began to cultivate.

What a pity.

This Myriad-Form Spirit Liquid contained no profound Dao essence, but it possessed extremely dense energy for body tempering, blood-Qi, and mental power!

Chen Yan didn't care about anything else; he would absorb the blood-Qi energy first.

The 【Store】 Saint-Breaking Fruit began to absorb the body-tempering energy at twice Chen Yan's absorption speed.

Better to absorb it first!

Chen Yan felt refreshed in his heart!

Refreshed to the extreme.

This was simply a heaven-sent fortuitous encounter.

A faint murmuring sound rose in his ears, though it was not severe.

Chen Yan felt that he simply had no time to cultivate the horizontal-refinement path right now.

He left all the body-tempering energy to the 【Store】 Saint-Breaking Fruit to absorb.

Within the Saint-Breaking realm, an immeasurable amount of red light was born.

【Blood】 Saint-Breaking Fruits were born in piles!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Behind Chen Yan, his True Essence Dharma Form condensed.

Soon, the seventy-ninth True Essence Dharma Form was born.

The eightieth!

…………

The ninetieth!

The energy aura within the Myriad-Form Spirit Liquid in the cultivation room had been absorbed by Chen Yan.

Chen Yan simply opened a crack in the door, letting the energy-filled spirit liquid pour in continuously.

Chen Yan's aura was already like a surging tide, spreading outward wave after wave, but he tried his best to control it within the cultivation room.

Brand-new True Essence Dharma Forms condensed one by one.

Staying in this place, it felt as if time had become incredibly fast.

Chen Yan sensed the light and shadow on his pulse membrane and suddenly realized that five days had already passed.

The energy within the entire Myriad Aspect Spirit Liquid had also become much thinner.

Chen Yan sensed that groups of Myriad Aspect Ants were entering the Myriad Aspect Spirit Liquid, continuously patrolling the surroundings.

Communicating with each other, they emitted "squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak" sounds.

Clearly, these Myriad Aspect Ants had also discovered the changes in the Myriad Aspect Spirit Liquid and were beginning to get anxious.

Chen Yan also began to shift his position.

He worried that after he finished his cultivation, he would be blocked outside by hundreds of thousands of ants in a huff.

Chen Yan headed deeper downwards, found a secluded nook, and continued his cultivation.

But it was also at this moment that strands of murmurs began to ring out in Chen Yan's mind.

Chen Yan frowned; there were countless murmurs.

He did not know what they were.

But at this moment, Chen Yan still blocked these murmurs and focused on his cultivation.

Inside his body.

Surging Qi and blood continuously intertwined, traveling through every corner of Chen Yan's entire body.

His cells were all strengthening, as if new spaces had been opened up.

If not controlled well, the eruption of Qi and blood might directly blow up the entire Myriad Aspect Spirit Liquid.

Time was like flowing water.

Six days!

Seven days!

Chen Yan's True Essence Dharma Aspect had condensed to a terrifying number.

The one hundred and tenth!

A feeling of comfort almost enveloped Chen Yan's entire body as he felt the surging Qi and blood energy within him.

Chen Yan felt that with a single strike of his spear, he could blast through the world.

Continue!

Outside.

High above in the sky.

Chen Qi looked toward the direction of the Myriad Aspect Divine Tree repeatedly, his brows furrowed.

What is Bing Yi doing?

Lu Jianxia, however, no longer disturbed Chen Yan; she believed this was Bing Yi's own battle.

She was about to witness the final glory of a generation of boundary-breakers.

And she could do nothing.

The Lu Clan's research into that imitation was still in its initial stages.

The Chen Clan's technology had caused the Lu Clan's research institute to fall into a predicament.

The Lu Clan simply could not help Bing Yi.

Lu Jianxia frowned repeatedly, not knowing why.

"Elder Chen Qi is very concerned about Bing Yi; should we go down and take a look?"

Chi Xun smiled and said.

Chen Qi did not speak, but Lu Jianxia opened her eyes.

Chi Xun laughed heartily and stood up:

"Then I will go down and take a look."

"Elder Chi Xun, are you mocking me?" Lu Jianxia said softly.

"Then I won't go down." Chi Xun waved his hand.

Damn!

He really wanted to go down and take a look.

What kind of treasure did Chen Yan actually obtain?

What kind of treasure is actually inside the Myriad Aspect Divine Tree?

What the hell?

I want to know.

Time passed slowly.

Only three days remained until the day of the battle between Bing Yi and Chen Yan.

Inside the Myriad Aspect Divine Tree.

Within the Myriad Aspect Spirit Liquid, which had thinned to the absolute extreme.

Chen Yan walked out of the cultivation room; there was no need for him to absorb any more.

In one session of cultivation, the number of his True Essence Dharma Aspects had increased to one hundred and sixty-five!

【Storage: 8886/100】

The "Storage" character Saint-Breaking Fruit had also condensed eighty-eight pieces, filled with body-tempering energy within.

Chen Yan's harvest this time had already reached its peak.

Chen Yan wandered within the Myriad Aspect Spirit Liquid; the murmurs in his mind were becoming clearer and clearer, even affecting his cultivation.

For the last few days of cultivation, he had been cultivating while resisting these murmurs.

Until now.

He wanted to go and see what exactly was emitting the murmurs.

Those countless, densely packed whispers.

Seemed to point out a direction for him.

The outside world.

Lu Jianxia also could not sit still anymore.

But recalling the words Bing Yi had said to her before, she ultimately did not go down.

She had actually been listening to what Bing Yi was doing all along through the sound-transmission array on Bing Yi's body.

But it had always been the sound of electrical currents ringing out, making it impossible for her to hear clearly at all.

Yet at this very moment.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

From within the sound-transmission array, Bing Yi's loud laughter suddenly came through.

It sounded like madness, like insanity, and also like it was filled with endless killing intent.

Lu Jianxia's expression trembled; what on earth had happened?

She had never seen Bing Yi make such a sound.
