Chapter 472: Ambition like a towering peak holding up the vast mist, a body like a solid ridge battling the wild waves!

Creation Realm fallen!

Chen Hong, eighth in the first echelon of the Five Clans Ranking, today...

Dies!

Boom!

Above the Child Lamp, an unprecedentedly powerful energy erupted instantly; Chen Yan chose blood-energy at the very first moment.

At the same time.

A powerful suction force was born from within Chen Yan's body, as if it wanted to tear Chen Yan's internal organs into shreds.

Arriving simultaneously was a malice that had reached its extreme.

The malice was nothing to worry about, but this suction force was almost enough to obliterate Chen Yan.

This was because of the Child Lamp; as the third-ranked divine artifact in the world, the Calamity Corpse God Lamp did not encourage mutual slaughter among the Five Clans Ranking prodigies.

Once a kill occurred, a powerful suction force would erupt.

Only this time, the suction was unprecedentedly powerful, almost instantly pulling Chen Yan into the interior of the Child Lamp to completely annihilate him.

Unable to withstand it, Chen Yan sat down cross-legged, his physical body trembling violently and uncontrollably.

Every inch of muscle was twitching crazily, as if being fiercely pierced by countless steel needles.

His bones trembled and wailed.

Resist!

Chen Yan used all his strength to resist this suction force at this moment.

This was the suction brought about by slaying someone from the first echelon; it was almost enough to wipe Chen Yan out.

Chen Yan could not concern himself with the outside world.

But at this moment.

Horror!

A sense of incomparable horror was born between the entire heaven and earth.

All the living beings still watching the battle were struck dumb.

Chen Qi's body was stiffened high in the sky, and both Chi Xun and Ji Hai were also somewhat dazed at this moment.

The world shook.

"He actually killed a Creation Realm expert directly; isn't he only at the Fifth Rank?"

"He just seemed to unleash a Seventh-Grade Spear Realm; Seventh-Grade, holy shit!"

"He has been hiding his strength all along; his own thunder element is close to Sun-Day level."

Someone from the Great Xia spoke with difficulty:

"The Five Clans actually have a prodigy as powerful as this; what has the world come to?

That is a Creation Realm expert!"

"He seems to be getting punished by the Calamity Corpse God Lamp..."

Some exclaimed, some gritted their teeth, and some even refused to believe it.

In this world, the appearance of one Chen Yan was already monstrous enough; now, it seemed another blood-energy prodigy who transcended concepts had appeared.

Bing Yi!

Great Xia, Jin Province.

Xia Hanzhou raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth, and then roared with all his might:

"Damn it!"

He was frightened.

Chen Yan not only withstood the third imitation but also slaughtered Chen Hong.

Regardless of what kind of earth-shattering change this move would bring to the Five Clans, the weight of the name 'Bing Yi' alone was being infinitely elevated throughout the entire world.

And this was only his strength in the path of blood-energy; Chen Yan had never revealed all his combat power in public.

Terrifying.

Truly fucking terrifying.

Xia Hanzhou spoke:

"Tell Little Si Ming to go near Myriad Forms Island and drop two positioning annihilation formation disks!"

As Xia Hanzhou's voice came out, Xia Chiyi appeared in another room of the Xia Moon Prince's Mansion:

"Who... who are we killing?"

Xia Chiyi was also shocked and found it hard to believe.

"Bing Yi!" Xia Hanzhou said:

"With such a monstrous Five Clans prodigy, can our Great Xia let him live?"

Xia Chiyi was stunned, then nodded.

She did not yet know that the Bing Yi currently on Myriad Forms Island was Chen Yan.

"Is he Sun-Day level?"

"Grade A, Grade A, must kill him!" Xia Hanzhou said:

"Kill him to death!"

Bing Yi was too monstrous; it would be unreasonable if Great Xia did not take action.

Xia Hanzhou issued the order and then sent a message to a signal base station in Chi Province again.

He recited a string of scrambled code.

Only he and Chi Xun knew the decryption method for this string of code.

Translated, it means: 【The Great Xia is going to drop two Sun-Radiance Grade A-tier Targeting Annihilation Arrays on Myriad Image Island; you hold them back a bit, don't let Bing Yi actually die.】

…………

Yu Province.

The Yu Master's body stiffened; he felt he had misread the situation and watched the footage of Chen Hong's death repeatedly.

Immediately following that, silence, coldness.

Unable to speak, Yu Yi, standing beside the Yu Master, dared not speak, and even dared not breathe.

He was afraid that if his breathing were too loud, his own father would annihilate him.

Fear.

"He is absolutely not someone who entered the Dao at seventeen!" the Yu Master spoke, his voice hoarse:

"Perhaps he is the reincarnation of an ancestor who has existed in the Xia Clan for a thousand years!"

The Yu Master stood up with a sudden 'whoosh':

"How can this be? If only he were truly Yu Yi; why is he Bing Yi, why is he Bing Yi instead of Yu Yi?"

The Yu Master muttered to himself.

Beside him, Yu Yi trembled; in his father's words, it was as if he, Yu Yi, should never have been born at all.

…………

Chen Province.

The entire Chen Province became incomparably silent at this moment.

Through screen after screen, list after list of the Five Clans Rankings, and massive projection arrays.

People witnessed the fall of Chen Hong.

The heaven-gifted prodigy of the Chen Clan had fallen so abruptly.

A second ago, there were still people shocked or disdainful of Chen Hong's sudden strike, but the scene that appeared the next moment shattered the minds of countless people.

"How is this possible? He is Chen Hong!"

"He is in the Creation Realm, a genius who entered the Creation Realm before the age of one hundred; how could he die like this?"

The object of worship for countless people had just died like that, and boundless coldness instantly struck the deepest depths of every Chen Clan prodigy's heart.

Bing Yi!

That Bing Yi, whom countless people thought was surely dead, had killed the pride of Chen Province just like this today.

…………

【The Great Xia is going to drop two Sun-Radiance Grade A-tier Targeting Annihilation Arrays on Myriad Image Island; you hold them back a bit, don't let Bing Yi actually die.】

This string of information quickly reached Chi Xun's ears; Chi Xun coughed dryly, nearly choking on his breath.

What the hell!

Two Sun-Radiance Grade A-tier Annihilation Arrays!

Is Xia Hanzhou being serious?

Damn it?

What is he trying to do?

Trying to kill his own Xia Clan genius?

You tell me to hold them back; aren't you afraid I'll get blown up?

Throughout the entire Myriad Image Island, deep within the malice.

Including Chen Yunyou, Chen Changyuan, Ji Chuxi, Chi Yuexi, and other prodigies from the first tier of the Five Clans Rankings were also in shock.

Chen Changyuan remained silent for a long time, unable to speak.

"Bing Yi!"

After a brief moment of stupor, Chen Qi was enraged, unable to contain himself; his eyes were wide open, and terrifying flames of fury burned within his pupils.

Boom!

Boundless flames of light descended from his body, erupting and shaking the entire Myriad Image Island; the murderous intent that was about to burst forth was enough to annihilate hundreds of millions of living beings.

Lu Jianxia's expression trembled, intending to step in to stop Chen Qi, but she was suddenly stared at by those eyes of Chen Qi, which were filled with murderous intent.

Chen Qi was unwilling to wait any longer.

Under such circumstances, how could he let this Bing Yi continue to live?

Inside the Myriad Image Divine Tree, Chen Yan's gaze was sharp, his whole body trembling as he desperately resisted the terrifying suction force from the Calamity Remains Divine Lamp.

No one could see his expression at this moment; no one could discern his state of mind.

He always wore a mask, making it impossible for the world to ever see who he really was.

"Chen Qi!"

Above the distant sky, a voice of immense grandeur suddenly resounded.

A terrifying figure that blotted out the sky and sun stepped across the sea. The figure was incomparably massive; every step taken caused the ocean to churn.

Clad in golden armor, his appearance obscured by golden light, he stood between heaven and earth, filled with endless dominance.

The Lu Master!

The Lu Master has arrived!

Chen Qi's body stiffened at this moment; he looked at the projection of the Lu Master in the distance, his expression turning ugly.

Lu Jianxia let out a sigh of relief; Bing Yi's talent had even moved the Lu Master.

She looked down at the Myriad Image Divine Tree below, her beautiful eyes flashing with strange brilliance.

Chen Yan's decoy was being devoured by countless Myriad Image Ants.

But it was not yet dead.

On the Five Clans Ranking, the names of the Impostor and Bing Yi still appeared simultaneously.

But at this moment, everyone heard the voice of the Lu Lord in unison.

"The Chen Clan is being far too arrogant; is it only permissible for Chen Hong to kill Bing Yi, but if Bing Yi kills Chen Hong, he must die?"

The Lu Lord's voice was icy:

"A Lord of a Continent does not appear frequently, but what you, Chen Qi, have done is to call me out time and time again."

The Lu Lord's figure gazed at Chen Qi from across the infinite distance of mountains and seas.

Chen Qi's expression froze, and he gritted his teeth.

Right now, he truly was in the wrong.

But the whole world knows he wants to kill Bing Yi; why must you, Lu Lord, appear?

Chen Qi's face darkened; the Lu Lord had chosen to invest in Bing Yi.

Bing Yi's aptitude had successfully brought out the Lu Lord.

And it was at this very moment.

"Bing Yi killed Chen Youyi and annihilated Chen Hong; should he not be killed?"

A voice, plain yet permeated with boundless coldness, rang out; from the distant sky beyond, a figure in white stepped through the void and appeared within everyone's line of sight.

It was merely a projection, without any earth-shattering Dharma Manifestation appearing, but the moment it appeared, the ten thousand miles of sea in that area seemed to be shrinking toward him.

The Chen Lord had also appeared.

Today, the Lords of two continents appeared together, confronting each other across the distance.

"Killing Chen Youyi was in accordance with the Five Clans Law; annihilating Chen Hong was because Chen Hong intended to annihilate him first," the Lu Lord's voice was calm, showing not the slightest weakness.

"The Five Clans Law did not pass a death sentence on Bing Yi, but instead sent down the Heaven's Pride Killing Array; that was already being lenient toward him," the Chen Lord's voice was indifferent.

"Where does the Five Clans Law speak of leniency?" The Lu Lord's voice resounded, then gradually grew quieter.

Within the void, the two supreme beings of heaven and earth were conversing, and no more sound leaked out.

After all, the whole world was watching today.

If the Lords of two clans were to act like this in front of the world, it would be too disgraceful.

But the people of the world were increasingly shocked; they could not hear, but they could guess.

The matter of Bing Yi had actually caused such a massive upheaval.

Yu Continent.

The Yu Lord watched the screen quietly, his eyes flickering.

"If the Chen Clan could directly annihilate Bing Yi, it would actually be a good thing for all of us."

The Yu Lord felt regret; he regretted making that contract with Xia Hanzhou.

Who knew that Chen Yan would be such a monster.

And at this moment, Xia Hanzhou's communication arrived.

The Yu Lord's figure was broad, a huge hood covering his face, yet a cold aura flowed out.

"Xia Hanzhou, you have no shame, you actually dare to communicate with me now!"

The Yu Lord let out a low shout and struck out with a palm.

"Father!" Yu Yi cried out in alarm and was struck directly out of the great hall.

The light screen connected.

"People are discussing whether your son lives or dies, why haven't you shown yourself yet?" Xia Hanzhou frowned and spoke.

"Xia Hanzhou, don't go too far!" The Yu Lord let out a low shout.

Xia Hanzhou sneered:

"If you don't appear, the Chen Lord and the Lu Lord will definitely suspect Bing Yi's identity; you are indirectly breaking the contractual agreement between you and me!"

Boom!

A terrifying aura spilled out from the Yu Lord's body; it was hard to imagine just how furious the Yu Lord was at this moment.

"If you wanted to expose Chen Yan's identity, you should have exposed it sooner; you had to be greedy and trade with my Xia Clan. You aren't going out now.

In the future, when Chen Yan's identity is exposed, the other four continents will definitely attribute all the reasons to you."

Xia Hanzhou spoke coldly.

The Yu Lord took a deep breath, his inner rage churning.

How could there be such a shameless person as Xia Hanzhou?

In the beginning, it was the other party who licked his face to beg him, and now it had turned into him, the Yu Lord, being greedy.

Damn it!

"Send another Will-path martial artist to my Yu Continent!" The Yu Lord spoke almost through gritted teeth:

"And a vow of non-killing for a future Tier 8 captive!"

"Don't go too far," Xia Hanzhou laughed loudly, his voice cold to the extreme:

"I will send at most one Will-path martial artist to your Yu Continent."

The Yu Lord was silent.

After a long while.

A huge black-robed phantom rushed out of the universe, spanning across the sea.

This phantom covered the sky and the sun, its movement immense; everyone within the Five Clans watched it.

The reclusive Yu Lord had appeared once again!

Crossing mountains and seas, his true body did not arrive on Wanxiang Island, but countless projections appeared in layers.

The next moment, the phantom had already appeared beside Chen Qi.

The still-confronting Master Lu and Master Chen said nothing, casting their gazes toward Master Yu.

"Yi'er."

Master Yu spoke indifferently, his voice carrying downward, though coldness welled up in his heart.

Chen Yan was not his son; he wished for Chen Yan to die immediately.

But that bastard Xia Hanzhou was acting like a monster.

On the Five Clans Ranking, as the world listened, some heard Master Yu's voice for the first time and were shocked in their hearts.

Beneath his hood, Master Yu's expression was detached, knowing that Chen Yan was still resisting the suction of the Child Lamp and surely could not even stand.

Master Yu could even be certain that Chen Yan had no idea about the contract between him and Xia Hanzhou.

After all, there had been no time, nor any opportunity.

At this moment, Chen Yan had severed all ties with the Xia Clan.

He was stirring up trouble all by himself within these Five Clans, and the scale of it was only growing.

Impressive.

Master Yu wanted to see just how Chen Yan would perform.

On the Wood Path of the Myriad Image Divine Tree, Chen Yan's head slowly lifted.

His physical body was trembling violently; he had used all his strength just to stand up.

Everyone fell silent.

They knew Bing Yi was currently resisting the suction and malice of the Child Lamp, which was a pain almost like having one's heart wrung out.

Yet, within the image of the Five Clans Ranking, Chen Yan slowly stepped into the air, burning with malice, blood splattering from his entire body, his back hunched.

Some were horrified in their hearts, realizing that even now, Bing Yi was still exerting his Qi and blood.

The excruciating pain was visible to the naked eye.

Exerting Qi and blood must have intensified the sensation of agony.

Everyone could see the problem from Bing Yi's increasingly violent trembling.

Anyone who looked felt that at the next moment, Bing Yi would be unable to hold on.

Blood spilled across the Wood Path, spraying continuously; blood even flowed from beneath his mask, staining his lapels red.

Far away in Jin Province, Xia Qi watched, his mouth hanging open, unable to close it for a long time.

"Ambition like a towering peak holding up the vast mist, a body like a thick ridge battling the wild waves!"

He sighed deeply; just watching, he felt an indescribable, powerful force vibrating in his heart.

He had lived until now and felt he was resolute enough, strong enough.

But compared to Chen Yan, he felt ashamed of his own inferiority.

"General Yan, you are actually... actually..."

Xia Qi could not speak.

Master Yu watched in silence, sighing inwardly.

This is the Divine General of the Xia Clan.

He even felt a trace of terror.

This person truly could not be allowed to live.

He almost wanted to blurt out the next moment that this person was not his son, but Chen Yan.

Master Lu and Master Chen watched without a word.

Lu Jianxia stared blankly downward, watching that person soar upward without ever bowing his head, and it seemed the thunderous ringing sounded in his ears once more.

"Proclaim my fate to heaven and earth, establish my heart upon the Myriad Dao Tree, break the shackles of the Ancient Gods, and sever the injustices of the world!"

It seemed this voice could never be forgotten.

"My son, why did you kill Chen Youyi?" Master Yu spoke.

He looked at Chen Yan, but he had set a trap.
