Chapter 469: The Divine Armor Emerges, the World is Shaken!

Lu Jianxia began searching within the Spirit Pool, but did not find Bing Yi.

Her heart rose into her throat.

Sinking continuously downward, she discovered a wooden passage and flew into it with a grim expression.

The whispers in this place had completely affected her.

She flew within the wooden passage, descending continuously, until these whispers reached an unimaginable level.

From afar, she saw a scene of extreme strangeness.

Countless cyan-green ghosts were folded together, twisted together, and those countless eyes that seemed to be roaring were all staring fixedly at the black-clothed youth sitting cross-legged before them.

"Break the shackles... of the Ancient God, cut down the injustice of the world!"

The black-clothed youth was drenched in blood, his head hanging low, using his own will to resist the thousands of resentful thoughts.

He was making a wish, speaking out, struggling, saying it to himself, and also saying it to these thousands of remnant souls.

He could have left, yet he struggled here.

He had said that his great mission was not bestowed by Heaven, but bestowed by himself.

Lu Jianxia opened her mouth wide, her body trembling uncontrollably.

She stared straight ahead, as if she had been frozen in place.

Listening to the constant murmurs and outpourings of Bing Yi.

Until the very end, Chen Yan kept his head lowered.

He was eroded by resentment to a miserable state, yet within his body, there seemed to be an endless surging of Haoran Qi.

The darkest place on Ten Thousand Phases Island.

The clanking sound of chains rang out.

The black-robed man, whose entire body was imprisoned by countless chains, kept smashing his chest with his fists.

Boom, boom, boom!

The sound was like thunder.

His entire body burned with surging flames of malice, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

"If one encounters a desperate situation, what is the choice? Loyalty? Righteousness? The Dao?"

His hoarse voice was as grating as dry wood rubbing together.

Bang!

A fist slammed into his chest.

"No loyalty."

Bang!

Black smoke burned, chains roared.

"No righteousness."

Bang!

His movements were sluggish, as if he had long since entered his twilight years and was about to perish.

With almost all his strength, he shouted, filled with endless despair.

"No Dao."

His voice echoed within this great hall wrapped in malice.

From beginning to end, only he himself heard it.

He slowly raised his head, his damaged eyes seemingly seeing into the infinitely distant reaches.

He locked eyes with the youth sitting cross-legged on the ground, covered in blood.

He looked at the youth, the dead-silent aura slowly dissipating, finally turning into a final expectation.

He was waiting.

Waiting for the last sentence the youth would speak when he could no longer hold on.

Until a certain moment.

He waited for it.

Under the gaze of Lu Jianxia's silver eyes.

"If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die without regret in the evening!"

The power of will slowly dissipated, infiltrating, spreading.

He would rather die than fail to practice the Dao of his life!

Until this moment, the eyes of those twisted, resentful ghosts suddenly widened.

The pressure of his will caused them to suddenly wake up for an instant at this moment.

And then...

It was endless pain!

They twisted, they were bewildered, they were terrified.

Lost memories came rushing back!

The pain of countless years was suddenly perceived clearly by their humanity, turning into indescribable terror and despair!

They had originally thought they were stones; stones being tortured was to be expected, and their painful struggling was also to be expected.

But at this moment, they were recalled to the memories belonging to humans.

Humans...

Should not be treated this way, should not suffer such torment.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Countless murmurs, countless hysterical screams erupted completely at this moment!

That heavy, thousand-year-long pain was beyond words.

Boom!

One after another, the vengeful spirits exploded and shattered.

At the end of their lives, a smile finally appeared.

The pain vanished.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

Exploding, shattering, disappearing.

Death became a grace.

The vengeful spirits, about to dissipate, saw him.

In their final moments, they flew toward him and embraced him.

"Thank you."

A woman kissed his cheek.

"Thank you."

A young child hugged him, revealing a smile long since forgotten.

"Thank you."

An old man stroked him and smiled, with relief, with melancholy.

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

"Thank you..."

One after another, the vengeful spirits walked past him and dissipated.

"Thinking of the vastness of heaven and earth... I shed tears in my solitude."

A vengeful spirit shed tears, looking once more at this human world that had brought him despair.

Then, one by one, strand by strand, they dissipated into the void of heaven and earth.

Returning their power of thought to the Myriad Aspect Divine Tree, returning their divinity to the void of heaven and earth.

Returning some inexplicable thing to the one who liberated them.

Deep in Chen Yan's mind, a cyan orb of light appeared.

He did not know what it was.

But at the very moment each vengeful spirit walked toward death and looked at him, this cyan orb of light grew larger and more brilliant.

No one noticed, not even Chen Yan knew what it was.

He only hung his head, as if he had just experienced an indescribable battle of life and death.

Until a certain moment, when he had no strength left at all.

Lu Jianxia walked in front of Chen Yan, and she whispered:

"I will help you."

She looked at Bing Yi, her voice incomparably gentle for the first time:

"I will not let you die."

At the same time.

Boom!

Cloud Province!

A red pillar of light suddenly emerged, rushing into the sky.

The people of the world saw it, incomparably shocked.

Within that red pillar of light, a pitch-black, gleaming heart protector, exuding boundless divinity, slowly condensed and appeared!

The people of the world were shocked.

"Divine Armor!"

They opened their mouths wide, an inexplicable horror surging in their eyes.

The Great Xia Divine General has emerged, the Province Brightness has appeared, creating Divine Armor for him.

And this heart protector was a component of the Divine Armor!

In this world, who is the one the Divine General worships?

Chen Yan!

The appearance of a part of the Divine Armor meant that Chen Yan had already obtained the recognition of the Cloud Province Province Brightness!

And the Cloud Province Province Brightness did not condense the entire Divine Armor.

That meant the other Province Brightnesses were still waiting, but they recognized that Chen Yan could continue to obtain the recognition of the other Province Brightnesses!

At this moment, heaven and earth witnessed it together!

Chen Yan had just come out of seclusion, and he had already taken the first step!

Gold Province, State Administration Office.

"Hahahaha!!!"

Xia Qi's laughter was hearty to the extreme.

"General Yan's strength has already been recognized by the Province Brightness of one province; he has already embarked on the path to becoming a god, and it will not be long before the Divine Armor is completely condensed!"

The Five Clans, the heads of each clan looked toward Cloud Province.

At this moment, their expressions also turned silent one by one.

Urgency!

They actually felt a trace of a sense of urgency.

Chen Yan had actually brought such terrifying pressure upon the Five Clans.

…………

Time passed slowly.

Three days later.

On this day.

The third battle between Bing Yu of the Five Clans and the Chen Yan replica arrived.

Great Xia, the Five Clans.

Huge silver screens appeared in various places, beginning to project the scene.

It is unknown how many people were watching this battle.

Now, Chen Yan had come out of seclusion and walked into the sight of the world, once again becoming a figure at the crest of the waves.

People's focus on the battle of Bing Yu had already changed.

It shifted from wanting to know if Bing Yu could win, to wanting to know what level Chen Yan's strength had reached.

This one about to arrive would be a replica of Chen Yan with Tier 5 mid-stage strength.

People were curious, only hoping that Bing Yu could hold on for a little longer.

The people of Great Xia wanted to pay their respects, while the people of the Five Clans were filled with trepidation.

This was the oppressive feeling of one person.

Before the Myriad Aspect Divine Tree, Bing Yu sat cross-legged.

Chen Hong arrived, standing atop the Myriad Aspect Divine Tree with a smile.

The others were still attempting to awaken their Will Martial Dao, but only he wanted to see Bing Yu perish with his own eyes.

Lu Jianxia looked at Bing Yu, her gaze earnest, having long since made up her mind.

She wanted to take Bing Yu away.

Interfering with the laws of the Five Clans would certainly be bad for her, but she could not forget the words Bing Yu had spoken before.

She wanted to see if Bing Yu could do it.

He should be able to.

He could endure the babbling of ten million vengeful souls, and he could maintain his own Dao Heart even at the very end.

He should be able to.

The world all revered Divine General Chen Yan, yet she, Lu Jianxia, knew that another boundary-breaker was no less capable.

She clenched her hands; even though she was a princess of a clan, she was nervous at this moment.

What she might have to face would be even more and even harder than she had anticipated.

But she had said it: she would not let Bing Yu die.

Hum.

A light wheel appeared.

This replica of Chen Yan wore white robes, refined and handsome, but the moment it appeared, it stirred the spirits of everyone.

Chen Qi watched indifferently and said in a cold voice:

"This Tier 5 mid-stage replica of Chen Yan can fight the top five of the Tier 6 rankings."

He was sighing, wanting his own words to intensify the sense of urgency in the hearts of the Five Clans' prodigies.

By all means, one must not underestimate Chen Yan.

His words rang throughout the world; the people of Great Xia cheered, but the people of the Five Clans were anxious.

Someone cursed loudly, asking why this prodigy-killing array had to be opened.

Why must the momentum of Chen Yan be bolstered?

Chen Qi also regretted it.

He regretted it inexplicably; he had not expected that Chen Yan was not dead, but had instead come out of seclusion early to challenge the world.

This was fine too, as it brought a sense of urgency to the Five Clans.

If this person were allowed to grow, Great Xia might continue for several more decades.

As for Bing Yu, he had already been forgotten by him.

"Bing Yu, guess how long you can hold on?" On the Myriad Aspect Divine Tree, Chen Hong squinted his eyes as he looked at that Chen Yan replica.

At this moment, he was actually moved to speak.

He was a prodigy himself, after all, but he had actually become dim before Chen Yan.

At this moment, the only thing that could make him happy was the death of Bing Yu.

"I will die after you."

An indifferent voice sounded.

"Hm?"

Chen Hong was stunned.

The next moment, the replica high in the sky erupted with blinding golden light, like a great sun crashing to the ground, locking onto Bing Yu and striking in an instant!

Lu Jianxia stood up, and at this moment, she no longer hesitated; a silver flying motorcycle appeared beneath her.

At this moment, Chi Xun sighed inwardly, a trace of terrifying pressure condensing in his hand.

At this moment, Chen Qi narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze toward Bing Yu.

At this moment.

Bing Yi's entire body erupted with wild thunder and ice, and all one hundred and sixty-five of his True Essence Dharma Images fully manifested!

Carrying monstrous killing intent, he struck out alone, like a thunder-ice star crashing down!

In an instant, he appeared before Chen Hong.

"What are you doing?!" Chen Qi roared instantly.

Under Chen Hong's suddenly constricted gaze, Chen Yan blasted out with a spear, the spear light exploding across the world.

"Come and fight!"

The angry roar, as if suppressed ten million times over, erupted in this instant!

That heaven-shaking battle intent caused the direction of this battle to change completely.

Countless people watched, their skin breaking out in goosebumps!
