Chapter 470: Peerless Duo!

In an instant, this spear strike seemed to carry a mountain range with it as it was thrust out.

One hundred and sixty-five True Essence Dharma Images shook the heavens and earth.

The aura of thunder and cold ice overlapped, as if burning endlessly, the radiance dazzling the world!

"You!"

Standing atop the Myriad Image God Tree, Chen Hong had been watching the Chen Yan counterfeit plummeting from the high heavens like a scorching sun just a second ago, only to be startled by this spear strike that arrived in an instant.

None of the spectators had anticipated such a shocking turn of events; Chi Xun and Lu Jianxia, who were just about to make their moves, were frozen in place.

One hundred and sixty-five True Essence Dharma Images!

Bing Yi's strength had actually surged by so much in such a short time!

Chen Qi reacted immediately, his old eyes widening, filled with disbelief.

In the span of a month, what exactly had Bing Yi done?

Their strength had surged so violently!

The next instant.

A scream rang out instantly.

Chen Hong narrowly dodged the spear thrust by Chen Yan, but in that very instant, a shadow appeared behind him.

The shadow swept out with a spear, the tip erupting with a brilliant swastika-shaped spear light.

【Void-Breaking - Swastika Evolution Dragon Kill】!

Boom!

A deafening explosion accompanied the appearance of shattered voids one after another.

This spear strike swept across Chen Hong's lower back; Chen Hong gritted his teeth, realizing the first move was merely a feint, and the second was the real strike.

He was sent flying in an instant, crashing toward the high sky like a meteor.

But high above, the Chen Yan counterfeit, falling like a scorching sun, was flying down, golden light manifesting in his hands as a massive wheel of light took shape.

【Heaven-Splitting Style】!

Roar!

Two hundred and five Tempering True Dragon Dharma Images manifested behind the Chen Yan counterfeit, their dragon roars shaking the heavens, as if a world of true dragons were suppressing everything below.

"Not good!" Chen Hong exclaimed.

The Chen Yan counterfeit had eyes only for Bing Yi; anything that blocked the counterfeit would be killed instantly.

Sure enough, facing the incoming Chen Hong, the light wheel in the Chen Yan counterfeit's hand was about to descend.

High in the sky, Chen Qi's gaze turned sharp, his figure flickering as he prepared to interfere in this battle.

But the next moment, he gritted his teeth.

There were countless people watching this battle; if he truly intervened, it would completely disgrace the Chen Clan.

As for Chen Hong.

He understood Bing Yi's intention in an instant, and now he thrust his hands out, causing ten thousand colorful formation disks to appear before him, stacking continuously.

The formation disks nested within one another, forming a golden matrix that rolled and expanded incessantly.

Condensed in an instant!

This was the strength of the eighth-ranked individual in the first tier of the Five Clans Ranking.

A top-tier Formation Grandmaster, an early-stage Creation Realm expert capable of manifesting Grade A Bright Moon-level formation disks!

At this moment, all eyes were upon them.

The moment the Chen Yan counterfeit arrived, it engaged in its first battle against Chen Hong.

Chi chi chi!

A harsh, cutting sound rang out instantly.

The edge of the counterfeit 【Heaven-Splitting Style】 light wheel was as sharp as a peerless blade, colliding with the defensive formation array deployed by Chen Hong in an instant.

Under the cutting of the light wheel, the golden formation disks shattered one after another, turning into countless golden fragments as countless void cracks manifested instantly.

Chen Hong's expression was ugly; the shock in his heart was beyond words.

This damn thing was only a fifth-stage mid-stage counterfeit of Chen Yan!

Yet it was able to hack his formation disks into such a miserable state.

"Bing Yi!"

He roared, a teleportation formation disk instantly manifesting beside him, and his figure appeared fifty kilometers away, his expression vicious to the extreme.

He had no need to fight this counterfeit; it was an asset of his Chen Clan.

But Bing Yi's instantaneous strike had left even him with lingering fear.

One hundred and sixty-five True Essence Dharma Images!

Bing Yi had already reached the fifth-stage mid-stage of the Dharma Truth Realm in the path of blood and Qi!

"F... fuck!"

In Chen Prefecture, a powerhouse spoke with difficulty:

"What is going on with this Bing Yi? How did they suddenly become so powerful?

Weren't their talents already worn down by malice?"

"One Chen Yan counterfeit, one Bing Yi, both at the fifth-stage mid-stage, yet they almost killed Chen Hong, an early-stage Creation Realm expert—what kind of monsters are these?"

People everywhere were shocked.

Shocked by the sudden burst of combat power from Bing Yi, and by Bing Yi's sudden actions.

They were also shocked by the strength displayed by the Chen Yan counterfeit at this moment.

The people of Chen Prefecture were even more astonished; that was Chen Hong, a genius prodigy who had entered the Creation Realm at seventy years old.

Having enjoyed supreme glory and endless adoration in Chen Prefecture, just a moment ago, he nearly died because of a Tier 5 battle.

Great Xia, Five Clans.

The masters of each prefecture wore grave expressions; the Master of Chen could not speak, the Master of Lu was also shocked, and the hearts of the Master of Chi and the Master of Ji were stirred with a thousand layers of waves.

Yu Yi's intent was definitely not this powerful before; the explosive power of his blood energy was merely that of about twenty True Essence Dharma Images.

But at this moment, it had actually reached one hundred and sixty-five.

Was he hiding his strength before, or did he encounter a great opportunity during this time?

"Damn it!"

In Yu Prefecture, the Master of Yu, dressed in a black robe, looked at the screen and spoke in a low voice:

"Chen Yan is such a monster; if this continues to be hidden, when it erupts in the future, my Yu Prefecture will definitely be implicated."

He looked at the young man beside him, who also had an ugly expression.

Yu Yi.

Because of the agreement between the Xia Clan and Yu Prefecture, after suffering inhuman torture from Jiang Yuan, Yu Yi was returned to Yu Prefecture.

"Father, if this person is not eliminated, he will be a great threat in the future!"

Yu Yi spoke in a low voice.

"Do I need you to tell me?" the Master of Yu barked:

"I have already signed a contract with the Xia Clan!"

The Master of Yu roared with a dark expression.

At this moment, he did not want to see Chen Yan live at all.

"Fortunately, the quality of his blood energy is not high," the Master of Yu said:

"The Ice blood energy seems to be only Morning Star Grade A, and the Thunder blood energy is about Moon Grade C."

He pondered.

Yes.

Chen Yan had not fully exposed the quality of his blood energy.

Three days before this battle, Chen Yan had entered the River of Malice once more to retrieve the Ten Thousand Prison Nether Thunder, which was now completely satiated.

After a round of exploitation, Chen Yan's Thunder blood energy had long reached Moon Grade A, no weaker than the Creation Realm.

The Ice blood energy had also reached Moon Grade B.

Chen Yan was hiding; at least for now, he could not fully erupt.

Even the Spear Realm he displayed was only the same Grade 5 as before.

In that instant just now, Chen Yan only wanted to probe the strength of the first echelon.

Chen Hong was only at the tail end of the first echelon and did not seem to pose a real threat to him.

The imitation's black hair danced wildly, and golden light condensed all over his body into explosive Holy Light Orbs, numbering as many as one hundred.

As he threw a punch, the hundred light orbs struck in a single breath, and two hundred and five True Dragon Dharma Images surged behind him, isolating the laws of heaven and earth.

The Chen Clan had indeed never underestimated Chen Yan's potential.

They had actually simulated Chen Yan's Tier 5 mid-stage strength to be this powerful.

High in the sky, Chen Yan thrust his spear again and again, wrapped in thunder and ice; countless Extreme Thrust Spear Realm strikes emerged like sharp blades, colliding with each of the explosive Holy Light Orbs.

The two smashed into each other high in the sky, and Chen Yan was actually retreating step by step.

High in the sky, Chen Qi's expression was gloomy; he had not expected Bing Yi to be able to hold on for so long under the hands of this imitation of Chen Yan.

Shock also surged within Lu Jianxia's silver eyes.

She knew that Bing Yi had absorbed a great opportunity from the Ten Thousand Phenomena Divine Tree, but she had not expected Bing Yi to have grown to this extent in such a short time.

So strong!

She was shocked, but soon felt relieved.

He should be this strong; he could withstand millions of grievances and take the world upon his own shoulders.

He should be this powerful.

"That shadow of his was only used for an instant before it dissipated; it should still be usable."

Ji Haiyi also spoke, filled with astonishment:

"Is your Chen Clan overestimating Chen Yan too much? Why would Chen Yan's Tier 5 mid-stage Body Tempering path need to manifest two hundred and five True Dragon Dharma Images?"

Ji Haiyi was also extremely surprised.

The fifth realm of the Body Tempering path is the Law Extinction Realm, and the fifth realm of the Blood Energy path is the Law Truth Realm.

One condenses the True Dragon Dharma Image, which embodies the physical constitution and strength, while the other condenses the True Essence Dharma Image, which embodies the power of blood energy.

The limits of the fifth realm for the two are three hundred and thirty-three and three hundred and twenty-five, respectively.

The limit of the Blood Energy path was created by a Xia Clan God General a thousand years ago, and no one has broken the record in a thousand years.

The creator of the True Dragon Dharma Image limit was Lu Xunyang, who shocked heaven and earth when he broke through to three hundred and thirty-three True Dragon Dharma Images back then.

What Ji Haiyi felt was wrong was the number of True Dragon Dharma Images condensed by this mid-stage Chen Yan imitation at this moment.

If it were Tier 5 mid-stage, it should hover around the number of one hundred and sixty-seven.

But this imitation directly erupted with two hundred and four True Dragon Dharma Images.

Could it be that the Chen Clan believes that Chen Yan at Tier 5 peak can excavate four hundred and ten True Dragon Dharma Images?

Breaking through the realm seventy-seven times?

The further one gets into the later stages, the harder it is to break through the realm.

Chen Yan created two hundred and twenty-four Extreme Forging Patterns in the Extreme Forging Realm, breaking through eighty times compared to the limit of one hundred and forty-four.

But that was the Extreme Forging Realm!

How could a Law-Extinguishing Realm cultivator possibly break through their realm so many times?

Chen Qi glanced at Ji Haiyi and said indifferently:

"Do you know how to defeat an enemy without any surprises?"

Ji Haiyi frowned, but Chen Qi continued:

"That is to never underestimate him; whatever he can do, my Chen Clan must strive to imagine it at the highest level, and we will never underestimate him.

The Chen Clan's calculation system has stretched the path of will to its maximum.

Chen Yan is thus able to create four hundred and ten True Dragon Dharma Images."

As Chen Qi's voice fell, Ji Haiyi frowned, and Chi Xun gave a strange smile.

All over the world, people were silenced by the strength Chen Yan was displaying at this moment.

Even in the Great Xia, after many powerhouses popularized the concept of the True Dragon Dharma Image to the common folk, the commoners also gaped in shock.

"The Five Clans did not underestimate the Divine General at all; we must absolutely not hope that they will make mistakes in the future!"

An elder with vast knowledge perceived the critical point in an instant.

The fact that the people of the Five Clans do not underestimate Chen Yan is the most terrifying thing.

"The Divine General suppresses a generation; he already has the bearing of Lu Xunyang back in the day. They are also afraid!"

Someone discovered a different point and laughed out loud.

"Looking at it this way, this Bing Yi being able to hold on for so long can be considered an extreme monster!"

"Indeed, realm-breaking prodigies are already beyond the concept; only one such person appears every few decades."

"Bing Yi was completely right to kill that Chen Youyi; to think he is being treated like this by the Five Clans!"

"The Five Clans are not united; this is a huge joke. Bing Yi would be better off joining our Great Xia."

"What a pity, he is going to die."

…………

Lu Jianxia's expression turned completely cold, and she faced Chen Qi directly:

"Is the Chen Clan truly this overbearing?

You want to kill Bing Yi, why go to such lengths? Why don't you just make a move yourself?

Why don't you just assume that Chen Yan can kill an Eighth-Rank while at the Fifth-Rank?

Wouldn't that be more direct?!"

Her silver eyes were like two deep, cold pools; originally calm and waveless, they now had anger faintly burning in their depths.

Lu Jianxia's fury could almost no longer be concealed.

Just how much of a monster is Chen Yan in the eyes of your Chen Clan?

By exaggerating Chen Yan's combat power to this extent, you have left no chance for Bing Yi to survive at all.

The thought in Lu Jianxia's heart had long since solidified.

She secretly sent a message to her clan.

"Father..." Lu Jianxia's intent was transmitted, crossing signal base stations standing across the ocean, reaching the ears of the Lu Lord.

"Do you like him?" The Lu Lord seemed to have known Lu Jianxia's intention in advance and spoke directly at this moment.

"It's not a matter of liking, I just..." Lu Jianxia's voice sank.

Does she like Bing Yi?

She does not know, but Bing Yi would definitely not like her.

This left her unable to speak for a moment.

"Save him." The Lu Lord's voice came through:

"This Bing Yi is monstrous to an excessive degree; he should not die."

Lu Jianxia's eyes flashed, and she nodded immediately. She looked at Bing Yi below, preparing to intervene at any moment.

Chen Qi narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lu Jianxia.

This woman had just taken out her flight tool, so Chen Qi naturally knew Lu Jianxia's intentions.

Chen Qi's heart also became complicated.

Bing Yi is monstrous to an excessive degree; if he really dies, it might stir up monstrous waves.

No one expected that Bing Yi would hold on until now.

But, one more important piece of information is that the Yu Clan has not come forward.

Does the Yu Clan not want to break their plan of living in seclusion because of Bing Yi?

Or is it that they think Bing Yi has the ability to break through the Prodigy Killing Array?

Or is it that this person is not the son of the Yu Lord at all?

Chen Qi's expression turned ugly; no matter which point it was, it was not good news.

Below.

The Chen Yan imitation erupted with endless golden light, pointed a finger, and the 【Condensing Radiance Style】 exploded; a laser beam shot through, directly blasting through Bing Yi's arm.

Its expression was cold, lacking any emotions that should belong to a human.

Chen Yan was stained with blood and swept out with his spear; his thunder-ice Qi and blood turned into a sea, but he could not block the imitation's bombardment.

However, within his Qi and blood, there was a powerful force of will-bombardment.

This is the characteristic of the Standing Realm.

Although this imitation is only a robot, it has flesh and blood cut from the bodies of living beings inside it, as well as various array disks.

Chen Yan's will-bombardment cannot affect the machine, but it can affect the array disks and the living flesh and blood within the imitation.

This battle has benefited Chen Yan greatly.

In particular, this was Chen Yan's first battle after evolving through the Myriad Aspect Divine Fruit.

Chen Yan realized that while he possessed strength amplifications from various martial Daos, he was unable to fully integrate and master these amplifications.

Especially the path of Will.

The power of the Standing Realm is by no means limited to just Immortal Will.

There is also Will Suppression and Will Bombardment.

These are absolute bonuses to combat power.

Chen Yan's thinking broke its limits; at this moment, he was constantly parrying and striking, appearing to be defending with difficulty.

Yet his Grade Six Spear Realm and his true strength in the Elemental Dao had not been used.

"Bing Yi, if you don't use the Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill again, you won't last thirty moves!"

High above in the sky, Chen Hong spoke; Bing Yi was actually still holding back.

That shadow only appeared for a single breath before dissipating, so it could certainly be created again.

Could it be that they want to save the 【Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill】 for the very end to create a miracle for themselves?

He gritted his teeth; the anger accumulated from being plotted against earlier had not dissipated.

Bing Yi was truly such a monster to be able to hold out for so long under the hands of Chen Yan's counterfeit.

Chen Yan's long sleeves billowed; after fighting this counterfeit for a long time, he had more or less figured out the strength gap between the two.

It was thanks to the fact that this counterfeit was completely unable to unleash the power of the path of Will, knowing only how to attack incessantly.

If it could use the path of Will, Chen Yan would have been knocked down long ago.

Right until the end, Chen Yan began to intermittently condense shadows.

Whenever his life was in danger, the shadow would appear, and then disappear once more.

Chen Yan was trying his best to conserve the usage time of the shadow.

After all, he could currently only use the shadow for a maximum of fifteen minutes a day.

He reached a crisis time and again, but because of the shadow's intervention, he broke through desperate situations repeatedly.

From all corners of the world, some people were left dumbfounded.

Chen Yan had been invincible all the way, even killing Lu Fusang with a single finger.

Yet this Bing Yi had actually held out for so long.

All the races were shocked, as if they were recognizing Bing Yi for the first time.

Within the Five Races, many people's expressions were stirred; the Five Races also had peerless prodigies.
