Chapter 502: Do You Not Know, Even the Rules Fear Me!

Chen Yan began to eliminate the malice within his own body.

This was something no one had ever done in the ten thousand years of the entire Martial Dao, not just for him.

To the world, malice is a terrifying poison; to Ancient Divine Beasts, however, malice is the source that sustains their own vitality.

Chen Yan's action was no different from an ordinary person forcibly draining their own blood.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!!!

The malice was continuously burned away by his will, and the eerie black smoke surged and twisted like restless demons.

This was an extremely horrifying scene, witnessed by the world.

Every movement and every breath of Chen Yan made the surrounding air seem to solidify, as if he were a ghost struggling in hell.

As the world watched, every step Bing Yi took seemed to be an experience of endless torture.

The other party was using his own body as experimental material, intending to leave a heavy, ink-stained mark on the annals of history.

Such a scene, combined with the other party's vision and choices, was as heavy as a cup of bitter wine.

Even those who knew nothing about the Martial Dao were stunned.

Ji Chuxi and the others exchanged glances, all able to see certain meanings in each other's eyes.

"I originally thought that the cyan iron plaque could reduce the pressure of the steps, but now it seems that is not the case at all."

Chi Yuexi said quietly:

"The Blood Domain Reversing the World is indeed a great opportunity, but one must choose the right occasion.

Not to mention Bing Yi, even for us, comprehending the Blood Domain Reversing the World would only increase the pressure on us as we climb."

Ji Chuxi nodded:

"Bing Yi wants to use the pressure of the Brocade Palace steps to force his own will to reach its absolute peak and drive out all the malice in his body.

Not to mention whether he will even survive after driving out all the malice, the current multiple pressures alone will make it difficult for him to endure."

The few of them kept talking, feeling both shocked and conflicted.

Even though they were monsters, the top-tier monsters, they still had to bow their heads when encountering a monster that transcended concepts.

…………

Hiss, hiss, hiss.

Chen Yan's will vibrated, and his Will Divine Body continuously radiated an aura of immortality from within his body.

He was currently driving out malice, and also bestowing his own Martial Dao.

What would be the next node of the Will Martial Dao?

The span from the Word Realm to the Standing Realm of the Will Martial Dao was equivalent to four realms of other Martial Daos.

The third realm that followed would definitely not be equivalent to the fifth realm of other Martial Daos.

Perhaps it was the sixth realm, or perhaps it was the Creation Realm.

If it were the Creation Realm, then once the third realm of the Will Martial Dao was born, a Will Martial Artist who ascended to the third realm would definitely be able to defeat Creation Realm martial artists of other Martial Daos.

The Will Martial Dao is superior to everything.

The third realm of the Will Martial Dao is named the Breaking Realm.

The moment Chen Yan became the Master of Will, he had already planned out a vague future for the Will Martial Dao.

The Breaking Realm can break all the Martial Daos under heaven and can break the rules of heaven and earth.

And before the birth of the third realm of the Will Martial Dao, the Standing Realm must reach a certain level.

The malice on Chen Yan's physical body was constantly being erased, and the vitality of Chen Yan's physical body also began to diminish.

"He is getting weaker!" Chen Yunyou spoke up:

"I can feel his own blood and Qi becoming withered."

As his voice fell, Chi Yuexi and the others looked over with slightly tightened expressions.

"That is indeed the case!" Ji Chuxi said:

"The malice within an Ancient Divine Beast is constantly disappearing, so its own combat power will naturally continue to weaken until the moment the malice completely vanishes, and then the Ancient Divine Beast dies."

His voice was calm; this was common knowledge.

If an Ancient Divine Beast has no malice, how could it not die?

Just like humans losing their life force, the disappearance of malice within an Ancient Divine Beast will also lead to a reduction in its own combat power.

"Bing Yi is walking a path destined for death, if the Immortal Will must be awakened in this way..."

Lu Fukun smiled without mirth, feeling somewhat bitter:

"Then the Immortal Body is too difficult to obtain."

"It is naturally difficult to obtain." Chen Yunyou's eyes were indifferent:

"Decades ago, Lu Xunyang was born as the first Immortal Body. For so many years, laboratories have been secretly established everywhere, and after spending so much, not a single shred of the mysteries of the Immortal Body has been deciphered.

It wasn't until decades later that the second Immortal Body, Chen Yan, finally appeared."

Coldness appeared in Chen Yunyou's eyes as he looked at Chen Yan's back and said:

"Moreover, the probability of Bing Yi succeeding is too small—one in ten thousand."

A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but it was quickly restrained.

After all, the whole world was watching at this moment.

He, Chen Yunyou, would not go so far as to mock a fool who was certain to die in front of the whole world.

It was also at this moment.

Chen Yan arrived at the tenth step. Within the Origin Space, another cyan iron plaque vibrated, but this trace of vibration quickly disappeared.

However, Chen Yan still took out this iron plaque and smashed it onto the step.

Hum!

The illusion appeared once more.

Xia Weimin drew his spear; once the 【Blood Domain Reversing the World】 spear technique was unleashed, with him as the core, a blood-red domain spread rapidly like a surging tide.

Wherever it passed, the void fractured; wherever the spear radiance struck, everything was annihilated into nothingness.

The instant the sharp spear radiance flashed, it seemed as if it would directly obliterate Chen Yan; just by watching, countless profound spear technique skills surged deep within Chen Yan's mind.

This time.

Xia Weimin's 【Blood Domain Reversing the World】 was even more refined, more domineering, and sharper.

Powerful, unprecedentedly powerful.

Chi Yuexi and the others also began to watch carefully, beginning to observe and learn.

But Chen Yan was the one truly receiving the spear technique inheritance; in his mind, it seemed as if an endless sea of blood had condensed, forming a blood spear.

This caused Chen Yan's aura to also become sharp.

This was a Sun-level Grade A spear technique.

It could be driven by physical refinement, and it could also be driven by Qi and blood.

But what truly matched it was spear intent!

This was the purest spear technique.

"I can feel some things," Chen Yan whispered in his heart.

"Do you also feel that what I currently bear is too much?"

After speaking, Chen Yan condensed an ice-lightning spear in his hand and struck toward Xia Weimin's phantom.

"He's crazy!" Chi Yuexi exclaimed:

"You aren't trying to reverse life and death? How do you still have the mood to comprehend spear techniques?"

At this moment, not only Chi Yuexi, but everyone watching this scene had their expressions trembling.

Everyone knew that 【Blood Domain Reversing the World】 was a heaven-sent opportunity.

But no matter how great the opportunity, could it be more important than one's own life?

Shouldn't the Ice Intent at this moment be fully focused on comprehending the Immortal Will?

"What is Ice Intent doing?"

"Too greedy; if this continues, he will surely die."

"He is already like this; perhaps he just needs external pressure now."

Across the world, sighs rang out one after another.

Many people understood Ice Intent's behavior; the other party wanted to use external pressure to force their own will to break its limits.

But was this external pressure not too great?

Or was it that, for Ice Intent, the pressure brought by eliminating malice and climbing the long stairs was simply unable to make his will break its limits.

Many people felt it was absurd.

But the battle between Ice Intent and Xia Weimin's phantom had already begun.

At this moment, everyone understood why the steps of the Brocade Palace had to reach two meters in height.

Because their width was also eight meters; they were entirely for the stair-climber to battle Xia Weimin's phantom.

Chen Yan wielded the long spear, pitch-black lightning and ice dragging out from the spear tip, carving brilliant streaks of spear light into the void.

He was clumsily executing the 【Blood Domain Reversing the World】 he had currently comprehended.

Xia Weimin's phantom sensed Chen Yan's arrival, thrusting the long spear out, tearing through the void, the spear tip blooming with blood radiance.

The instant the two spears collided, the ice spear in Chen Yan's hand shattered.

Along with it, the Qi and blood within Chen Yan's body began to vibrate and flow in reverse.

It was merely the collision of one spear strike.

If not for Xia Weimin's phantom not pressing the attack, Chen Yan would have been directly obliterated the next moment.

This was 【Blood Domain Reversing the World】.

At the same time.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm, the growth speed of the 【Blood】 Saint-Breaking Fruit instantly accelerated; now, buds were visible to the naked eye.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Spear shadows collided continuously; the practical combat was a huge boost to Chen Yan's skills.

Within a very short time, the progress of the 【Skill】 Saint-Breaking Fruit reached three percent.

Until Xia Weimin's phantom disappeared, the progress reached four percent.

At this moment, the people of the world still watching the process of enlightenment were completely confused.

Whether it was the movements of Ice Intent or Xia Weimin, the crowd could not see them clearly at all.

The terrifying speed of the two only formed a blur of phantoms on the stairs.

When the battle ended.

Some people widened their eyes.

"The malice on Ice Intent's body has disappeared a lot; look at his hands, there are so many cracks on them!"

Everyone looked over, all feeling a shock in their hearts.

The malice on Ice Intent's hands had already disappeared, but the appearance revealed was covered in wounds, long since dried and cracked.

"In such a state, how on earth does he manage to climb the stairs, eliminate malice, and comprehend spear techniques all at once?"

Sounds of shock rang out one after another.

This was almost an impossible thing to do.

But Ice Intent was truly doing it.

"Brother Bing Yi, it's not that I look down on you, but give up on comprehending the spear technique," Ji Chuxi laughed:

"The aura on your body is constantly weakening."

This is only the tenth step, and Bing Yi has already become like this; what about afterwards?

Bing Yi will likely just perish halfway through.

Ji Chuxi does not believe Bing Yi can awaken an Immortal Will, but he still wants to watch Bing Yi struggle for a while longer to provide him with experimental data.

Bing Yi's current state is no different from courting death.

Moreover, the most critical point.

This opportunity to challenge a phantom is a tremendous stroke of fortune.

Bing Yi is wasting it.

A person who is bound to die is wasting an opportunity to comprehend a Sun-Level Grade A spear technique.

Ji Chuxi feels uncomfortable inside, covetous to the extreme.

That is a Sun-Level Grade A technique, after all.

If only the person challenging Xia Weimin were him, how good that would be.

He had originally prepared the Divine Chain Prison in the Brocade Palace, all for the sake of seizing the iron plaques and explosive formation disks in everyone's hands.

But it was all ruined by Bing Yi.

He certainly cannot manifest the Divine Chain Prison in front of the whole world to snatch the iron plaque from Bing Yi's hands.

Damn it!

Ji Chuxi's face is full of smiles, but inside, a terrifying coldness is constantly surging.

Chen Yan says nothing, just blindly climbing the steps.

The steps of eleven, twelve, fourteen, fifteen, seventeen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, and twenty-five are almost connected together.

The iron plaque can be sensed on every single step.

After twenty-five, there are thirty-one and thirty-three.

Right up to the end, it is the one hundred and tenth and one hundred and twenty-first steps where the iron plaque can be sensed.

In other words, the progress of comprehending 【Blood Domain Reversing World】 is divided into three parts.

The initial five to twenty-five are the most dense and have the lowest difficulty.

The middle ones, thirty-one and thirty-three, have increased difficulty, but there are only two.

The most difficult are the final one hundred and tenth and one hundred and twenty-first steps.

Chen Yan constantly steps onto the stairs and takes out the iron plaque.

Each time he takes it out, the sensing power produced by the iron plaque becomes weaker and weaker.

Behind Chen Yan, Chi Yuexi and the others fall silent.

The aura on Bing Yi's body is getting weaker and weaker.

The malice is indeed also becoming thinner.

Clearly, Bing Yi's current state is extremely difficult.

This is only the twentieth step.

A flash of spear light streaks by, red light shoots out, and a blood-colored spider lily blooms on the tip of Chen Yan's ice spear.

The void is torn into streaks of terrifying blood marks.

Xia Weimin's phantom slowly dissipates.

The malice on Chen Yan's body and feet is already extremely close to zero.

Within the Five Clans and the Great Xia.

All the viewers are in a daze; although this is a live broadcast, they also know that Bing Yi is inside the Myriad Appearance Island.

But at this moment, some still feel it is dreamlike to the extreme.

Many people's brains are crashing.

"Doesn't he know what fatigue is?"

"Look, even Chi Yuexi's speed of climbing the steps is not as fast as his."

"He is grinding away the malice within his own body, and he still has to spend great effort to comprehend the spear technique; this... is his brain a machine?"

One living being after another is moved.

Feeling as if they have seen an incredible event.

Many people subconsciously want to shout, "Holy crap."

But the setting is inappropriate.

Ji Province.

The Empress of the Ji Clan, dressed in pitch-black battle armor, looks at the back of Bing Yi in the image and remains silent for a long time.

"What has become of the current era? Is there still some unknown great terror brewing?"

The Empress of Ji Province exclaims in astonishment:

"Why have Bing Yi and Chen Yan, these two existences, appeared at the same time? Lu Xunyang from several decades ago had already transcended concepts."

The Empress of Ji Province is somewhat unsettled.

With her like this, the other ministers within the great hall are also constantly gasping in cold air.

Feeling it is incredible.

"If he can survive and participate in the upcoming Heaven's Pride Battle Platform, then the title of the number one Heaven's Pride in history will be stripped from Chen Yan's head."

A minister of Ji Province speaks aloud.

"Impossible!" someone immediately retorts:

"Tell me, how is he succeeding? He looks worse and more wretched by the day."

Bing Yi is a monster, but what Bing Yi does is even more monstrous.

At this moment, Bing Yi is constantly shattering everyone's existing worldview, then forcibly reshaping it for you.

But Bing Yi has not yet succeeded, and almost no one believes Bing Yi can succeed.

Chen Yan continued to climb the steps.

By the time he reached the twenty-second step, the iron plaque no longer produced a reaction.

Logically speaking, there should have been a reaction.

Chen Yan still took out the iron plaque, and when the iron plaque fell onto the step.

The phantom of Xia Weimin appeared once again.

Beneath the mask, Chen Yan's expression was indifferent.

As expected.

He looked toward the Jinzhi Palace, scanning the entire Ten Thousand Appearances Island covered in malice.

It was also at this moment.

"Brother Bing Yi, why not focus on comprehending the Immortal Will?" Ji Chuxi flew to Chen Yan's side and said gently:

"I, Ji Chuxi, acknowledge Brother Bing Yi's ambition!"

A look of admiration appeared on Ji Chuxi's face, but he then turned to say:

"But Brother Bing Yi, I must still remind you that those iron plaques you threw onto the steps earlier have all become ineffective."

Ji Chuxi smiled very softly.

The meaning was clear: there is only one chance to comprehend the 【Blood Domain World-Defying】.

Those iron plaques can only summon the phantom of Xia Weimin once.

When Ji Chuxi discovered this, his heart was bleeding.

Bing Yi is squandering heaven's gifts.

If you're going to die, then die, why waste the 【Blood Domain World-Defying】?

If it weren't for the fact that Bing Yi is currently preaching to the world, he, Ji Chuxi, would have already moved to slaughter Bing Yi.

For the sake of the 【Blood Domain World-Defying】, what does it matter if one becomes an enemy of Yu Province?

That is a Sun-Level Grade A spear technique, damn it!

Of course, Ji Chuxi would not say it like that.

Now, as everyone listens, they also feel that Ji Chuxi is kindly advising Bing Yi.

Chen Yan glanced at Ji Chuxi with indifference.

Ji Chuxi sneered inwardly.

"Do you think I am very tired?" Chen Yan spoke, his voice cold yet filled with power.

As his voice fell, Chi Yuexi and the others behind him stiffened.

Ji Chuxi's brows lifted slightly.

"No!" Chen Yan laughed:

"I am fighting against the world, fighting against the rules. The world only knows that I walk alone, defying the rules.

Yet they do not know that the rules are also afraid of me!"

Chen Yunyou narrowed his eyes; what a madman Bing Yi is!

Ji Chuxi was stunned.

What are you saying?

It was also at this moment.

Boom—

Chen Yan thrust his spear out; wherever it reached, space became like a shattered mirror, rippling in layers.

It was as if the barriers of the real world were being torn apart inch by inch by this spear.

This single spear thrust was unique, and a terrifying spear radiance appeared before Ji Chuxi in an instant.

"You!"

Ji Chuxi cried out in alarm, and divine chains overflowing with golden light instantly condensed around him.

But as these divine chains touched this spear, they snapped inch by inch!

Before it even arrived, Ji Chuxi felt as if his brain were about to be shredded by this spear light!

This spear strike came abruptly, and it was extremely fast!

A blood lotus bloomed, its might sharp to the extreme; where the spear radiance passed, it seemed as if a river of blood was surging.

It stopped right at a centimeter from Ji Chuxi's eyes.

Ji Chuxi's complexion turned white in an instant.

"Brother Chuxi, you had better not worry about my Blood Domain World-Defying."

Chen Yan withdrew his spear, and Ji Chuxi's heart skipped a beat.

"You should worry about yourself, being the second in line..."

Chen Yan turned around, his voice mocking:

"How are you so trashy."
