Chapter 473: This Is the True Hogyoku-Style; You Can't Even Copy the Key Points!

He hoped Chen Yan would reveal his identity, so that he could also pretend to be shocked when the time came.

Xia Hanzhou could not blame him; it was not that he wanted Chen Yan to die, but that Chen Yan had failed to hold on.

Chen Yan was, after all, only an eighteen-year-old youth; how could he continue to brazenly keep up the act beneath the three supreme experts of the world?

High in the sky, Chen Yan stood silently, his head hanging low.

The Universe Master, however, transmitted his voice directly: "You are my son, why can I not sense the simulation core within you?"

The Universe Master sneered.

In his eyes, Chen Yan had severed all contact with the outside world, venturing into danger alone, helpless to the extreme.

He only needed to transmit this one sentence to directly throw Chen Yan's state of mind into chaos.

Xia Hanzhou would not even know he had transmitted his voice.

This one transmission would absolutely make it difficult for Chen Yan to cope.

Chen Yan stood high in the sky and spoke at this moment:

"Father once said that since I was born into this world, I must deeply understand that my life is not for myself alone.

I must become that lamp that flickers in the darkness yet never goes out, and I must become that high wall that resists the raging wind and rain."

His voice was calm, carrying a clearly audible tremor; the world knew that Bing Yi was suffering immense pain at this moment.

But this voice was like thunder!

The Universe Master was stunned; had he said that?

When had he ever said that?

The Universe Master's body trembled.

Damn it!

Chen Yan actually knew about the contract between him and Xia Hanzhou!

Damn it!

More crucially, he could not deny it; once he denied it, he would be openly betraying the contract with Xia Hanzhou.

The Universe Master fell silent, wanting to kill in his heart.

And below, Bing Yi continued to speak:

"I used to think these words were too hypocritical; if a man does not look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him."

He spoke quietly, while the experts of various races and the masters of the Three Sovereigns and Five Clans watched from high above.

"But after I saw the tragic state of the living in Great Xia and the tragic state of Lu Province, I finally understood that there is another side to this world.

In the past, as a prince, I could not see the ugliness of the world, but when I truly saw it, I was left speechless.

I, Yu Yi, have always been selfish and arrogant, but there are others in this world who are far worse than me, making even a conceited person like me feel disgusted."

He spoke quietly, and the world listened.

These were the heartfelt words he spoke amidst endless pain; at this moment, whether it was the Five Clans or Great Xia, many were shaken to their core, unable to restrain themselves.

Chen Qi's expression was icy:

"Chen Youyi was wrong; you should have handed her over to the Five Clans for judgment!"

Murderous intent exploded in the depths of Chen Qi's eyes.

Chen Youyi was wrong?

That's right!

What is wrong with killing a remnant of Great Xia tainted by malice?

But he could not say that right now, for the people of the world were listening.

Below, from high in the sky, came Bing Yi's laughter:

"Because she offended my eyes!"

He spread his arms and looked toward heaven and earth:

"If I, Bing Yi, am a madman who kills without blinking, then so be it; if I see something I cannot stand, I kill it!

I, Yu Yi, will not act as some earth-shattering great saint; all that talk of 'worrying before the world worries' is too hypocritical!

I am not Chen Yan!"

His voice was resounding:

"What I do is not for the common people, but only so that my heart may be free of worry and my eyes free of ugliness!"

His voice was clear and loud, spreading far and wide.

Lu Jianxia narrowed her eyes, trembling.

Liar.

Bing Yi is nothing but a liar.

He is actually still pretending.

You clearly said that you wanted to cut down the injustices of the world.

That was what you insisted on while being tortured by endless resentment.

It was the only thing from which you could draw strength before facing the crisis of death.

Beneath Lu Jianxia's silver eyes, a lack of understanding flickered, until finally, this lack of understanding turned into relief, turned into sympathy and pity for Bing Yi.

The ambition in your heart is clearly even greater than Chen Yan's, yet you cannot say it out loud.

You would rather be a killing god whom the world deems an anomaly, preferring to be misunderstood.

Because you are Bing Yi, and you discovered that the Five Clans are sick.

Even if your ambition is right, it cannot be spoken of within the pathological Five Clans.

The Five Clans are willing to accept you as a killing god, but they cannot accept the ambition in your heart to destroy the Ancient Gods and cut down the injustices of the world.

Lu Jianxia pressed her red lips tightly together, her heart like a pool of water in constant turmoil.

She was slowly coming to understand Bing Yi; the more she understood, the more it felt like stepping into an abyss from which she could never return.

Bing Yi's voice rang out just like that.

Within the Five Clans, countless commoners were watching.

Chen Province was still fine, but in Lu Province, Ji Province, and Chi Province, voices were being raised one after another.

"To strike when seeing injustice is not wrong for Bing Yi!"

"But what Chen Youyi killed was a bastard of the Xia Clan; I heard they were also tainted by malice."

"People of the Xia Clan are also people; ten thousand years ago, we were all the same human race."

"Heh, the people of Great Xia are just bastards, things that deserve to die."

"I think you are a bastard too; when you are tainted by malice, I don't care if you are an Ancient Divine Beast, I will be the first to kill you."

"Bing Yi is not wrong; it is the Five Clans Law that is wrong!"

…………

"Reopen the Five Clans Law and withdraw the Heaven's Pride Killing Array from Bing Yi," the Lu Master spoke, his voice resounding with majesty.

"The Five Clans Law has already passed judgment and cannot be reopened," the Chen Master was unwilling to compromise; he felt more and more that Bing Yi had to die.

The Yu Master did not intend to speak, but he was gritting his teeth.

What the hell is all this?

Damn it!

Yet at this very moment.

Boom, boom!

The sky was suddenly illuminated by eerie light, and two array disks emitting faint starlight appeared without warning, like strange meteors tearing through the night sky!

Wherever they passed, the clouds were torn into wisps by that immense power.

Hum, hum, hum!

Endless killing intent condensed!

Chen Qi, Chi Xun, and Ji Haiyi all sensed it instantly.

The Yu Master, the Chen Master, and the Lu Master all looked over.

They were only projections and their true bodies had not arrived, but they did indeed sense those two powerful array disks containing killing intent.

The next moment.

Rays of talisman light were born instantly from those two array disks, spanning thousands of miles to establish a connection with Chen Yan, forcefully locking onto him.

Chen Yan raised his head, the cold light of the array disks reflected in his eyes.

He truly did not know what this was.

But it seemed that trouble had arrived.

"Little Fate Master!" the Lu Master spoke, instantly seeing a figure overseas.

The Fate Master crone sneered, and her figure dissipated in an instant.

"No!" Lu Jianxia exclaimed.

Almost the next moment, the two array disks had already appeared before Bing Yi, countless sharp blades erupting from them to completely pierce Bing Yi's consciousness.

Everyone was shocked.

So fast!

A hair's breadth away!

And at this very moment.

A figure appeared before Chen Yan, reaching out with one hand to grab the two array disks and fly into the clouds.

With a boom!

A massive roar resounded through heaven and earth, and a void space a thousand miles long was blasted into the high sky.

Chi Xun walked out covered in blood, his expression cold:

"Yu Master, pay up!"

Just now, if he hadn't acted, Bing Yi would have surely died.

Lu Jianxia hadn't reacted at all, and the three Province Masters could not stop it as their true bodies had not arrived.

Chen Qi had reacted, but he didn't act at the first moment.

As for Ji Haiyi, by the time he reacted, the array disks had already reached Bing Yi.

It was just a hair's breadth, and Bing Yi would have died.

The Yu Master was stunned.

What the hell?

Great Xia wants to exterminate Bing Yi?

He realized it in an instant—that damned Xia Hanzhou!

He glanced at the blood-covered Chi Xun, as if he had discovered a great secret.

He was shocked inside; Xia Hanzhou had quietly developed so many forces.

Who else?

His gaze swept over Ji Haiyi and Lu Jianxia, lingering on Lu Jianxia for a moment.

The Yu Master trembled inside; he had discovered a secret!

Perhaps he could squeeze something out of Xia Hanzhou.

He shouted aloud:

"Xia Clan, the Five Clans want to destroy my son, and you all want to destroy him too; where is the justice of Heaven?!"

His voice reverberated, crossing mountains and seas.

The expressions of Chen Qi and the Chen Lord both turned ugly.

This assassination attempt by the Xia Clan was truly a stroke of genius.

It was simply throwing the face of Chen Prefecture onto the ground to be trampled.

A genius whom even the Xia Clan wanted to exterminate was left gasping for breath under the suppression of the Chen Clan.

How would the people of the Five Clans view this?

Bing Yi had almost truly died.

Damn it!

"The matter of Chen Hong ends here; on Myriad Image Island, the other Chen Clan prodigies must not target Bing Yi either!"

The Chen Lord spoke; he had to give the people of the Five Clans an explanation.

He paused:

"The Prodigy Killing Array was established by the Five Clans Law; the majesty of the Five Clans Law is above the Five Clans. Even if the Son of Heaven breaks the law, he must be punished accordingly; no precedent can be set for Bing Yi!"

His figure dissipated just like that.

The Lu Lord was silent for a moment, glanced at Bing Yi, shook his head slightly, and then left as well.

"Chi Xun, you saved my son once; come to my Yu Clan another day, there will surely be a great reward." The Yu Lord looked at Chi Xun, spoke quietly, and then looked at Chen Yan again:

"My son, I believe in you, do not be discouraged!"

He took a deep look at Chen Yan, who was still bleeding, and his figure dissipated.

He was annoyed; now he was single-mindedly wanting to go bicker with Xia Hanzhou.

Chi Xun must have already defected to the Xia Clan; perhaps he could take the opportunity to extort something.

Chen Yan took out a cultivation chamber and sat down cross-legged.

Inside the Myriad Image Divine Tree, that counterfeit was being gnawed into an unrecognizable state by the Myriad Image Ants.

Time passed slowly.

The images on the Five Clans Ranking were gradually disappearing.

Gold Prefecture.

The Xia Lord Divine Temple suddenly erupted with golden light like a scorching sun.

Everyone was shocked; that great sun-like figure was brilliant to the extreme, and as endless golden light fell, the commoners of Gold Prefecture had to raise their arms to shield their eyes.

Suddenly, someone shouted out, a shocked scream:

"Divine General!"

"Chen Yan!"

"An immortal will!"

"Chen Yan has come out!"

Everyone watched in shock as the Chen Yan who had previously appeared in the Thunder Strike Treasure Land rode a golden dragon toward Gold Prefecture under the gaze of the world.

Such momentum had never been seen in a thousand years.

Even in Gold Prefecture, there was no one who did not know the name of Chen Yan.

A powerful Divine General surpassing Lu Xunyang was rising like the morning sun!

At this moment, the figure that appeared from the Xia Lord Divine Temple was filled with murderous intent.

"What a great show!"

Chen Yan's voice was like thunder, constantly roaring and reverberating!

"Does a mere counterfeit deserve to be bestowed with my name?"

As his voice fell, all sides were startled.

The momentum was vast, and the news of Chen Yan's appearance immediately spread, reaching into the Five Clans.

Powerful figures learned of it and sensed it from afar, across the lands of Great Xia.

What was Chen Yan going to do?

They saw that the figure standing in the high heavens suddenly erupted with a sky full of brilliance, and dharma images of true dragons appeared behind him one after another, hissing incessantly.

Three hundred and sixty-five true dragon dharma images!

Some powerful figures could not believe that Chen Yan had actually reached such a level of combat power in such a short time!

Had the Xia Lord Divine Temple completely opened the refining restrictions for Chen Yan?

Was the ruler of the Xia State already using the power of the entire nation to cultivate Chen Yan alone?

This was a piece of major news capable of shaking the heavens and the earth!

Immediately after.

Chen Yan threw a punch toward the high sky!

With a roar that shattered the firmament, his right fist was like a sun that had been ignited!

As it was thrown, the heaven and earth for dozens of miles shattered like jade, and the mountains and rivers changed color!

Powerful, terrifying, an invincible prodigy.

Chen Yan stared in all directions, looking toward the direction of the overseas:

"Do you understand now?"

He spoke coldly: "This is the true Crushing Jade Style; you couldn't even copy the main points!"

His voice was vast, carrying far into the distance.

Cheers erupted from all sides.

The true Divine General emerged, instantly overshadowing that imitation.

An imitation is just an imitation.

At this moment, the expressions of the people of the Five Clans darkened.

Chen Yan's development was too rapid; with one punch, heaven and earth were startled!

"Pervert!"

"The Chen Clan already held him in high enough regard, but I didn't expect his speed of progress!"

"Could it be that he can also slay those in the Creation Realm?"

"Damn it!"

The backs of some prodigies from the Five Clans were soaked with sweat.

This is the name of the Xia Clan's Divine General.

Inside the Xia Lord's Divine Temple.

Chen Yan returned, looked at the Grand Minister, and smiled:

"I did a pretty good job acting, didn't I?"

"Average; you, an Eighth Rank, couldn't even act like Chen Yan properly," the Grand Minister said.

This 'Chen Yan' pursed his lips, his figure shifted, and he turned into an old man wearing white clothes.

The Director of the Directorate of Celestials.

"I'm actually quite decent; little nun, don't look down on this old man too much," the Director of the Directorate of Celestials said with a chuckle.

It was also at this moment.

Boom!

High above Jin Province, a golden light suddenly erupted and shot into the clouds.

"No way," the Director of the Directorate of Celestials exclaimed in astonishment.

The Grand Minister watched from afar and murmured:

"Perhaps we are truly about to witness the birth of the youngest Divine General in the world."

At this moment, the people of the world looked up.

Within the pillar of light that shot up from the land of Jin Province, a pitch-black divine armor helmet slowly materialized.

Carrying supreme might, blood-colored lightning continuously intertwined upon it.

The second component of the divine armor was born!
