Chapter 489: A Magnificent World, Ten Thousand Years of Vastness, All Paths are but Straw, Only My Will is Absolute!

Inside the Divine General Temple, which was enveloped by malice.

Chen Yan felt as if he were in a pitch-black quagmire; his aura constantly became incomparably ferocious, became terrifying, became deathly silent.

A sense of exhaustion surged over him once more.

"What is the point of you breaking your limits here?"

A detached voice rang out.

A blurred figure, seemingly descending from that statue of the Divine General, gazed down at Chen Yan from a position of superiority.

"Stop pretending; you only want to prove your strength to the world. You have already been controlled by your own selfish desires."

His voice was coaxing and persuasive.

"Have you already become a slave to your selfish desires?"

The figure wrapped in pitch-black darkness revealed a playful glint in their eyes:

"If you have already become a slave to your own selfish desires, is your current limit-breaking not just self-admiration?

Is it not simply a desire to be stronger than others?"

Chen Yan did not speak.

The feeling of breaking limits was indeed uncomfortable; even for him, his consciousness had now become unclear.

He did not know who this person who had suddenly arrived was.

But as the other party said, the current realm-breaking seemed meaningless.

Chen Yan would not die; he had wrapped his mind in his will, and there was no crisis of death at all.

Everything Chen Yan did was to deceive everyone, to remain in the Divine General Temple, and to pluck that remaining vast opportunity.

He had won.

He had won once again.

He had deceived everyone, even Chen Qi and Lu Jianxia.

Chen Yan closed his eyes, and the voice of the person before him rang out by his ears again.

"You are the number one prodigy of this generation; you are the Divine General of the Great Xia.

Even the Xia clan rulers are extremely respectful to you; even King Xia Yue does not dare to accept a bow from you.

You must be proud, you must be arrogant, you must feel that you are already invincible, and in your eyes, the people of the world are all lowly beings."

His voice was full of temptation, constantly rhyming into the depths of Chen Yan's heart.

It was saying nakedly that Chen Yan had long since changed.

He was no longer the most pure youth he once was.

Could a prodigy who became a Master of the Martial Dao at seventeen really still preserve his innocent heart?

Chen Yan did not speak, but at this moment, he gradually wanted to stop breaking his realm.

Breaking his realm sixteen times was already enough.

Unprecedented and unrepeatable.

Especially since, in this struggle on the line between life and death, no one could imagine what Chen Yan had actually paid.

Chen Yan intended to end the realm-breaking and completely enter the sixth realm of the Blood Qi path, the Self-Fusion Realm.

He also had to completely transform his physical body, turning it into a 'dead person' in a certain sense.

Chen Yan's aura gradually eased.

His sour blood vessels and internal organs gradually began to resume work, and his hundred meridians began to clear.

This realm-breaking had consumed a great deal.

Chen Yan's physical body had inevitably suffered heavy injuries and needed recuperation.

The physical body was just like this; after breaking limits, it would usher in a period of weakness, and only after being repaired would it become even stronger.

Chen Yan panted, slowly ending the realm-breaking, and channeled the congested blood within his body.

Time passed slowly.

Chen Yan no longer broke his realm, and the humming of the laws between heaven and earth gradually ended as well.

One hour.

Two hours.

Gazes from afar were withdrawn one by one.

Who knows how many people were shocked by Bing Yi's actions today.

The fifth realm of the Blood Qi path, breaking the realm sixteen times on the edge of life and death.

A fantasy.

But it had just happened.

Outside the Ten Thousand Phases Island, Chen Qi did not know why he breathed a sigh of relief; he looked at the Five Clans Ranking, and Bing Yi's name was becoming increasingly faint.

Until finally, it was infinitely close to transparent.

"It's over."

Chen Qi spoke.

He was shocked, he was frightened.

He discovered he was wrong; Bing Yi might really not be what he had thought.

If one were a person who entrusted their Martial Dao to technology, how could they possibly break their realm by their own power?

Lu Jianxia stood outside the Divine General Temple.

Those silver eyes became silent.

Bing Yi, indeed, had never compromised; even in the last second of life, he had never compromised.

It was just that she could not speak.

If the other party were a great soul, but this great soul still had to head toward destruction after exhausting everything.

"That must be..." Lu Jianxia's voice trembled:

"How great a despair..."

Inside the Flying Warship.

Chen Changyuan's expression was deathly still; Bing Yi's Realm-Breaking was something he found hard to accept.

Even though Bing Yi was now going to die.

"Hahaha..." Chen Changyuan suddenly laughed:

"What is this world coming to, how could such... people suddenly appear one after another!"

His body trembled violently, his wounds were torn open, and blood spilled out once more.

That was Realm-Breaking!

He had once been a Realm-Breaking prodigy too, which was why he knew the true value of breaking the realm sixteen times.

That was almost...

Unimaginable.

Inside his body, the Ancient Dream God Beast said softly:

"But, you won."

Chen Changyuan laughed, the frequency of his trembling gradually decreasing:

"Right!"

His eyes became ferocious:

"I won!"

"I won!"

He roared out loud.

…………

Time passed slowly.

Three hours.

Four hours.

……

One day!

…………

God General Temple.

Chen Yan gradually eased his Qi and blood, and the intense pain in his body slowly vanished.

He chuckled; within those one hundred and twenty-five rooms, there was still a massive treasure waiting for him to claim.

What he had to do now was to transform the rest of his physical body, excluding his brain, into an Ancient God Beast.

For others, this was simply taking a risk, a life-or-death gamble.

But for Chen Yan, it was not very dangerous.

The path of Will could grind away malice; this was a heaven-defying cheat!

And this cheat was something he had created.

It was he, Chen Yan, the Master of Will, the Great Xia God General, who had created it.

"Qingshan Chen Yan!"

That cold voice rang out once again, and Chen Yan's body stiffened.

"Have you forgotten your ambition to dare to call for the sun and moon to change into a new sky?!"

In an instant, the voice seemed to carry the bitterness of the deep winter, like cold raindrops, spilling straight into the depths of Chen Yan's heart.

Carrying a power that pierced the soul, every syllable was as sharp as an icicle, and the chill shot straight up Chen Yan's spine to the top of his head.

Chen Yan froze; he opened his mouth, his breathing rapid.

He paused for a long time, his heart beating, and an indescribable emotion surged at this very moment.

"I... have not forgotten." Chen Yan spoke.

"You are a God General, the noble Master of Will; have you forgotten that you were once just a young man who wanted to live?"

This voice attacked again.

"I have not forgotten." Chen Yan murmured.

"You have died once and survived, and you no longer respect your own life.

You are a person of great importance, and you are boundlessly arrogant.

Have you forgotten the true meaning of Will?!"

The voice was faint yet clear, like individual raindrops falling lightly onto the lake of Chen Yan's heart, causing ripples to spread.

Chen Yan's expression was calm, and he remained silent for a long time.

"Qingshan Chen Yan, will never... dare to forget!"

…………

At the same time.

All parts of the world were paying attention.

Everyone was marveling, and people everywhere could even imagine Bing Yi's situation.

Within the infinitely dangerous environment of the God General Temple, Bing Yi wanted to trade Realm-Breaking for a glimmer of survival.

The other party has broken through their realm, sixteen times!

But it still cannot change their fated death.

They are still struggling now, unwilling to depart.

"What a moving and tragic hymn of life!"

"Bing Yi, you must leave your name in the annals of history!"

"Impressive, impressive, but such is time, such is fate..."

Some sighed, some felt moved, and some breathed a sigh of relief.

Only those gamblers were still watching intently, as this concerned their wealth.

There was a madman who bet that Bing Yi could last three days; even the madman himself felt it was impossible.

But Bing Yi, surprisingly, was still holding on.

Shocking!

The mad gamblers seemed about to make money.

…………

Chen Yunyou and the other prodigies of the Five Clans Ranking stopped waiting.

"His name has not completely vanished; there are still faint traces, and he has only one last breath left."

Chi Yuexi spoke quietly.

A dying Bing Yi was someone she should not have cared about.

But the strength of the other party's will and the firmness of their life made it difficult for her to remain composed.

Even now, the other party's name on the Five Clans Ranking had not truly disappeared completely.

It is hard to imagine how much the other party does not want to die.

In such a painful place, they had not given up the drive to live in the slightest.

Powerful!

Ji Chuxi nodded, and he put away the Five Clans Ranking:

"Indeed impressive."

He stopped paying attention.

Bing Yi would be a name he would not forget even after a hundred years.

But his own path still lay beneath his feet, while Bing Yi was about to go to another world.

On the steps of the Brocade Palace, Chen Yunyou took a difficult step upward.

While Bing Yi was still alive, he had climbed the steps with great effort, fighting against malice.

But after Bing Yi died, Chen Yunyou also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, no longer pursuing speed, but moving forward steadily.

And it was at this moment.

Just as Chen Yunyou had steadied his footing.

The next moment, his breathing changed instantly, his eyes became incomparably sharp, and he looked toward a distant direction, roaring out:

"How is this possible!!!"

Boom!

His physical body shook, and an overwhelming, irresistible force erupted inevitably, exploding across the entire staircase.

"Is he a ghost!?"

He was still roaring, unwilling to believe it.

Just in that instant, he felt as if he had suffered an auditory hallucination.

In a flash.

Ji Chuxi, Chi Yuexi, and the arriving Lu Fukun all froze completely, their eyes staring straight at the Divine General Temple.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Outside Ten Thousand Phases Island, sounds of surging auras erupted and echoed.

Chen Qi stood up abruptly, his face full of disbelief.

Until a certain moment.

Thump!

A low and melodious sound rang out once more.

This entire world fell into complete silence.

Lu Jianxia's red lips parted, and deep within her eyes were shimmering tears.

Her heart was lifted.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

That grand, rhythmic sound, as if coming from the universe, as if coming from every single star.

It seemed to be singing of an endless will.

…………

"My son's death, it is on the Chen Clan, the Ji Clan, and the Chi Clan!"

Yu Province, inside the great hall.

The Master of Yu, dressed in black robes, shouted coldly at the four light screens, within which the figures of the heads of the other four clans were revealed.

"My son merely killed an insignificant prodigy, yet it caused such turmoil, hahahaha!"

Master Yu's entire body was trembling, his rage erupting.

Inside the light screen.

Master Ji, Master Lu, and Master Chi were all silent.

Bing Yi, it seemed, should not have died.

Impressive!

That will is truly impressive.

Master Chen's eyes were indifferent, and he also said nothing.

Bing Yi's only mistake was that he shouldn't have killed Chen Youyi.

What is meant by a dispensable genius?

If it weren't for the fact that the masters of the other three continents were all conflicted because of Bing Yi, Master Chen would certainly have argued with Master Yu for a while.

"Forget it, forget it!" Master Yu let out a low shout, waved one hand, and scattered all the light screens.

The next moment.

Master Yu chuckled aloud.

Enough.

It's enough to have acted out the performance.

From now on, that matter of Bing Yi has nothing to do with him.

Master Yu felt his whole body relax.

It was also at this moment.

Yu Yi walked out and said with a smile:

"Father, this is a great thing."

"What great thing?" Master Yu spoke indifferently.

Yu Yi became nervous instantly:

"Chen Yan is dead; that is a good thing."

Master Yu turned around:

"I, however, do not believe the Xia Clan would let Chen Yan die just like that."

He looked into the distance, pondering whether the Xia Clan would intervene.

How would they intervene?

Once Chen Yan is rescued, the subsequent matters will also be troublesome.

"However, it is certain that this Chen Yan's talent in the path of Qi and blood is inferior to his path of horizontal refinement," Master Yu said:

"If his path of Qi and blood were equally monstrous, that would be the real trouble."

Yu Yi chuckled:

"The decisive battle is about to begin; even if Chen Yan doesn't die, how much time is left for Chen Yan to rise?"

"Hmm." Master Yu nodded:

"Hmm?"

"Father, you say, does our Yu Continent really need to... Father?" Yu Yi spoke, only to see Master Yu standing there stunned and motionless.

"Father?" Yu Yi spoke again.

Boom!

A wave of light struck, and Yu Yi was directly smashed into the bluestone wall, the mechanical parts on his body shattering.

"Fa...!" Yu Yi spoke with difficulty, wondering what had happened to Master Yu.

"Shut up!"

Master Yu gave a low shout, then followed with an incredulous tone:

"How is it possible, how is it possible?"

"Is he a monster?"

Master Yu was shocked, finding it hard to imagine that things would develop this way.

Yu Yi found it hard to accept; even now, he didn't know what had happened.

Even if the rules were touched, it was not something he could hear.

Unless he himself were on Myriad Forms Island.

Yu Yi dared not move.

His body remained embedded in the wall just like that, motionless.

At this moment, countless voices rang out across the entire world.

"Fuck!"

"What the hell is he doing?"

"Is he, in the end, going to die or not?"

"If this Bing Yi doesn't die, in the future, he might... might be the world's number one Qi and blood martial artist!"

A voice, shocked to the point of numbness, rang out.

Inside the Great Hall of Yu Continent.

Right until the end, Master Yu's breathing was trembling slightly.

Just like that, he stood there for a full day.

Yu Yi's face was full of bitterness; he didn't even dare to come down from the wall, fearing that his father might kill him with a single slap.

Yu Yi roared in his heart, asking what on earth had happened.

It was precisely at this moment.

"This Chen Yan..." The voice of the Universe Master was complex to the extreme:

"He has actually broken his limits another thirty-two times, for a total of forty-eight times, this... he..."

The Universe Master's voice rang out, and the body of Yu Yi went completely rigid and motionless.

…………

Inside the Divine General Temple.

The youth, covered in blood, slowly raised his head.

Opposite him, that figure in ink-colored robes watched him quietly and said:

"Have you walked into a dead end? You clearly wish to transcend everything; why follow the will of others?

What exactly is death, and what is eternal existence?"

Chen Yan nodded, looking at this figure that shared his own appearance.

This was the Will Divine Body.

When Chen Yan broke through his realm, the Will Divine Body emerged from his body and had been guiding him all along.

In this world, no one could be his teacher.

Only he himself.

"Within the concepts of the world..." Chen Yan began to speak:

"Death is the death of the physical body, the withering of Qi and blood, and the extinction of the soul."

He murmured, speaking to himself, as the power of will that had been protecting his brain dissipated.

Surging malice seeped into Chen Yan's brain.

The last trace of vitality Chen Yan possessed as a human gradually faded away.

"But these are the concepts of the world, not the truth of the will."

Before him, the Will Divine Body vibrated, overflowing with divine radiance as red as the evening glow.

The power of will was boiling, spreading, and ascending.

At this moment, it ascended to the peak of the Standing Realm!

The youth, already completely eroded by malice, and the Will Divine Body spoke in unison:

"In the magnificent world, through the vast ten thousand years, all Daos are but blades of grass; only my will is absolute!"

A smile appeared on the lips of the Will Divine Body as it walked into Chen Yan, merging with him completely.

"I can cast aside my physical body, abandon my Qi and blood, and extinguish my soul; the only thing that exists eternally is my will!"

Today.

The world is shocked!

Bing Yi broke through his realm forty-eight times at the Divine General Temple on Ten Thousand Aspects Island.

Breaking the limits of life within a dead zone, his name shall go down in history!
