Chapter 503: Thinking of the vastness of heaven and earth, I stand alone in sorrow and shed tears

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

Chen Yan began a fierce battle with the phantom of Xia Weimin.

But the minds of the crowd were still fixated on the spear strike the other had just unleashed.

Quiet, silent, horrified!

At this moment, Chi Yuexi and the others were also shocked by this sudden scene.

"Is... is he about to reach the Entry level?"

Lu Fukun's voice trembled, his throat bobbed incessantly, and his eyes were widened to an incredible size.

Chen Yunyou was silent and motionless, as if deeply plunged into shock.

Ji Chuxi's complexion had turned somewhat pale.

"He is Bing Yi." A cold, clear voice came from below Myriad Forms Island; Lu Jianxia stood quietly in a green dress and spoke.

He is Bing Yi.

The two words "Bing Yi" were already enough.

Even though Lu Jianxia had once felt sorrow churning in her heart.

She still held the expectation that Bing Yi would bring about a miracle.

Wasn't that exactly why she admired Bing Yi even more, wasn't it?

Ji Province was deathly silent.

Within every city, within every skyscraper.

The living beings of Ji Province, watching this scene through broadcasts, mobile phones, computers, and various other forms, had their mouths agape.

How could this be?

That is Ji Chuxi!

He is the number one genius of Ji Province!

And he is at the Creation Realm!

People worshipped him; especially in these times of war, Ji Chuxi had been molded by Ji Province into an almost invincible war hero.

He is the future of Ji Province.

In the hearts of all the people of Ji Province, they were waiting for Ji Chuxi to defeat Chen Yunyou and ascend to the position of the number one heaven-gifted talent among the five clans.

But now, he had actually been suppressed by a single spear strike from Bing Yi!

Ji Chuxi, who had originally been offering well-intentioned advice, now looked more like a clown coveting Bing Yi's 【Blood Domain Reversing the World】.

Countless people's faith was collapsing.

"How is this possible, Ji Chuxi, fight back!"

"Bing Yi is already in that state, how can he possibly intimidate Ji Chuxi?"

"He... has he reached the Entry level? That spear strike severed Ji Chuxi's divine chains as if they were just a piece of paper!"

"Ji Chuxi is the second in line! He is the second in line!"

Voices of disbelief rang out completely.

The world did not know of the matter where Bing Yi had dealt with Chi Yuexi, Lu Fukun, and the others single-handedly.

Now that Bing Yi's strength was suddenly revealed, it was like depth charges exploding in the bottom of everyone's hearts.

When people looked back at the screen at Bing Yi, who was still fighting the phantom of Xia Weimin, the look in their eyes changed.

This is Bing Yi.

A legendary, invincible heaven-gifted talent!

A person whose cultivation speed, combat power, and even willpower had reached a peak unimaginable to the masses!

Terrifying!

If Bing Yi could truly reverse life and death...

Then it would be unimaginable.

As for the horror in the hearts of Chen Yunyou and the others, it was even more intense.

This was a Sun-level Grade A spear technique!

For Bing Yi to accept the inheritance in such a situation and reach this level in such a short time.

How exactly was that person's brain grown?

It wasn't that Bing Yi's spear strike could crush Ji Chuxi, but when Bing Yi displayed the 【Blood Domain Reversing the World】 that was about to reach the Entry level, Ji Chuxi was completely numbed.

When that spear strike arrived, his brain was in a state of shock.

At that moment, he had only one thought.

How the fuck is this possible?

Chen Yunyou's expression was somber, and the aura on his body changed again and again.

The next instant.

With a boom.

He threw a punch, his eyes turning blood-red.

Just a moment ago, he had once again felt the summons of the Path of Will, yet he had not entered the Path of Will.

What on earth was going on?

Chen Yunyou roared in his heart.

The twenty-third step.

The twenty-fourth.

The twenty-fifth.

…………

Chen Yan walked forward with his head bowed; on this section of the stairs, a majority of the iron plaques would be used.

The phantom of Xia Weimin appeared continuously, engaging Chen Yan in battle.

With every step, the 【Blood Domain Reversing the World】 unleashed by Xia Weimin became increasingly profound and complex.

Chen Yan finally began to feel the pressure.

After all, it had always been this way.

Chen Yan had awakened his Immortal Will from the very beginning; the process of him devouring and extinguishing malice was actually not as difficult as it appeared to the world.

The growth rate of the 【Technique】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit slowly increased.

Ten percent!

Eleven percent!

Twelve percent!

…………

Seventeen percent!

The current Saint-Breaking Fruit was equivalent to one thousand times the previous ones; seventeen percent represented one hundred and seventy of the former 【Technique】 character Saint-Breaking Fruits.

Chen Yan's thinking began to break its limits, continuously deconstructing 【Blood Domain Reversing the World】.

The Five Clans, the Great Xia.

Either silent and soundless, or shockingly indescribable.

Everyone's gaze remained fixed upon Bing Yi alone.

Even Chen Yunyou, the number one on the Five Clans Ranking, was ignored by everyone.

The Chen Clan prodigies, who had always held Chen Yunyou in high esteem, were now numb.

Bing Yi was still flying.

Moreover, the malice on their own body was becoming less and less.

All the way until the thirty-third step.

One of the three remaining iron plaques was taken out by Chen Yan and dropped onto the stone steps.

Hum!

Deep within Chen Yan's mind, a cyan orb of light slowly hummed.

A sudden humming!

This was the orb of light that had appeared deep in his mind after he had scattered ten million vengeful souls with his own will beneath the Myriad Image Divine Tree.

It had always been silent, but at this moment, an anomaly occurred.

On the stone steps, Xia Weimin's phantom appeared once again, striking with a spear.

Chen Yan thrust his spear out.

With a bang.

The moment the two long spears touched.

"Thinking of the vastness of heaven and earth, I stand alone and shed tears!"

A low, sorrowful voice, filled with endless grief and despair, rang out.

Chen Yan was still fighting Xia Weimin's phantom, yet deep in his mind, a memory of indescribable grief was transmitted.

This memory carried despair, carried emotion, and surged into the bottom of Chen Yan's heart.

It was a bright and breezy afternoon.

Xia Weimin flew out from the Brocade Palace, standing tall in the azure sky.

He saw people on the earth calling his name, people looking up, people worshipping.

He could see it, he could feel all of this.

But he could no longer control it.

His body was controlled by another powerful force that he was fundamentally unable to resist.

"Chen……"

He roared internally, his hand gripping the long spear struggling continuously, his knuckles turning white, his teeth bitten until they shattered.

Struggle, struggle, struggle!

Constant struggling.

At this moment, Chen Yan seemed to feel the emotions Xia Weimin had felt at that time.

So, he had always been able to see, always been able to feel.

But he could not resist.

He saw the army within the Military Guard saluting him, saw a four or five-year-old child pointing at him, calling his name.

He saw a seventy-year-old man stroking his beard, nodding quietly at him.

Crack, crack, crack!

His will erupted, his muscles began to tremble, bloodstains appeared, desperately fighting for control of his physical body against that force.

Until a certain moment.

The long spear was raised.

Crack, crack, crack.

His muscles tore apart, until a certain moment, he closed his eyes.

"Disloyal, unjust……"

His lips trembled, his soul roared:

"Un-Dao..."

Boom!

A spear strike descended!

"Ahhh!!!"

"Help me!"

"Divine General, Divine General, how could it be like this!!!"

Screams of agony came one after another like maggots clinging to bones.

"Do you see it?"

"The future Divine General."

"I, Xia Weimin, deserve to die ten thousand deaths."

A low voice resounded deep within Chen Yan's mind.

Blood flowed from his body, cracks appeared on his long spear, and on this day, his heart began to head toward extinction.

He saw with his own eyes living beings dying by his hand, and he saw with his own eyes bodies exploding into mists of blood.

He saw that under his single spear strike, the earth shattered, buildings collapsed, and all things were being destroyed by him in this moment.

He saw a youth he had once paid attention to fleeing with his mother on his back; he saw that the mother on the other's back was already dead, yet the other was still fleeing for his life.

The other cursed him with every breath, reviled him, filled with confusion and despair.

"Who is that brat?"

"Seems to be called Lin Yi."

"A bit interesting, recruit him into the Military Guard next month."

"What virtue or ability does that brat have to be valued by the Divine General?"

"You didn't notice? That brat is a Limit-Breaking Awakener; he hasn't awakened his blood-Qi all this time, he is an uncut jade."

Boom!

Xia Weimin exhausted all his strength to barely shift the spear strike that should have shredded Lin Yi.

His Origin Space began to shatter, and his physical body began to collapse amidst his struggle.

A fragment of the pitch-black 【Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill】 was dropped by him.

He could only do this much; this was all he could achieve.

Just from this single action, his Origin Space had already completely shattered amidst constant struggling.

He could choose to die, or choose to completely degenerate into a machine of slaughter.

Only in this way would he be liberated from the endless pain.

When pain has already reached the limit of life, what meaning does the existence of life even have?

"Ah!!!"

His roar pierced through heaven and earth; enduring boundless agony, he tore his divine soul and split off half of it.

This half of his divine soul drifted toward the Myriad Image Divine Tree, controlling the Myriad Image Divine Tree at this moment.

A drizzling rain of blood fell from the canopy of the Myriad Image Divine Tree.

The Divine Tree had never wept blood.

What wept blood were the living beings.

Listen, that is the wailing of living beings.

Endless thought-power energy radiated out with the Myriad Image Divine Tree as the center, saving the divine souls of all the residents about to perish.

But he was wrong.

What his struggle brought was for ten million people to endure one thousand years of endless pain.

He, Xia Weimin, was destined to be the greatest evil in the world.

"Tell me, future Divine General, tell me!"

"When sin can already be replaced by numbers..."

"How exactly should I, Xia Weimin, die!?"

Hum!

Hum!

Hum!

Memories of endless despair, struggles of endless pain, and countless shouts were transmitted deep into Chen Yan's mind just like that.

Outside, the phantom of Xia Weimin that was battling him slowly dissipated.

One thousand years.

What was awaited for one thousand years was the Chen Yan of today.

This one today, who sought food from a tiger and penetrated deep into the Five Clans, was another Divine General.

"Thinking of the vastness of heaven and earth, I am alone and sorrowful... and tears fall..."

"What kind of world am I actually living in?"

Chen Yan murmured in his heart, standing still for a long time under the silent gaze of countless living beings.

"You ask me how exactly you should die."

Chen Yan hung his head, his ink-black hair blocking his pitch-white mask.

"Yet I want to ask."

"How... exactly am I supposed to live..."

Silence.

Stillness.

Soundlessness.

Bing Yi stopped moving.

Just standing there, silent.

The expressions of Chi Yuexi and the others changed again and again.

Until, at a certain moment!

Boom!

Malice burned.

It burned continuously, turning into endless pitch-black smoke, rolling endlessly, transforming into heavy clouds.

The malice on Chen Yan's body was eroded, dispersed, and destroyed.

Chen Yan's robes billowed, ink-black hair flared wildly; he said not a word, yet he was performing an act like a madman.

"You're crazy!" Chi Yuexi's eyes widened.

"Bing Yi, don't... do this." Lu Jianxia spoke, voice trembling.

Countless living beings watched, hearts beating violently, all plunged into deep shock.

Amidst the endlessly burning malice, a figure in ink-colored robes stretched out their arms, as if embracing the world, staking everything on one throw.

He was going to erode all the malice within himself in an instant!

He was going to expel the entire source that sustained his existence in this other life form.

Wasn't he supposed to be comprehending the Immortal Will?

He hadn't even comprehended it yet, and he was already being this resolute?

Isn't this just going straight to his death?

Complete annihilation?

The faces of countless people were filled with confusion and shock.

Bing Yi is going mad!
