Chapter 507: Rules Descend, the Divine Body Appears!

The memory ended.

Chen Yan did not know when he had already stepped past the one hundred and twenty-first step.

The last two iron plates were completely used up.

Chen Yan had finished viewing the life of Xia Weimin in an extremely short amount of time.

Although it was extremely short, this was only in comparison to the life of Xia Weimin.

For the present world, however, ten days had already passed.

Chen Yan had been fighting against the phantom of Xia Weimin the entire time, yet no one knew that Chen Yan had comprehended the life of Xia Weimin.

Watching the flowers, watching the river.

The martial path of Xia Weimin followed the Great Dao returning to one, extremely simple yet containing endless truth.

Not a single day of slack, not a single moment of pause.

Integrating everything into his own spear technique.

A short life.

In the early stages, because of hatred, he excavated his own martial path.

And in the later stages, after understanding where the problem lay, he vanished as briefly as a comet.

His entire life, he wanted to resolve the malice of the world.

But he was destroyed by the malice of man.

If it were Chen Yan, if Chen Yan were the Master of Will, and the world knew he could not die, that his Will Martial Dao would vanish after his death.

Would there really be no one to kill him?

Impossible.

Those who hope he lives will only hope more, and those who hope he dies will do the same.

They know the significance of Will Martial Dao to the world, and they also know its significance to the history of the human race.

But they would still harbor killing intent toward Chen Yan.

The martial path is long; in the end, one must overcome all enemies.

Those from the world, those from others, those from oneself.

They are all formidable enemies.

Xia Weimin, why exactly was he plotted against?

Was it that fragment containing the eerie 【Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill】?

Or was it something else?

Chen Yan looked toward the Jin Palace that towered into the clouds.

Thinking of Chen Yi's corpse inside, thinking of the orb of light that Chen Yi had clutched until his death.

Perhaps, everything was within that orb of light.

Chen Yan flew slowly toward the higher levels.

The pressure from the steps grew greater and greater, and the golden-red radiance overflowing from his body became increasingly intense.

As Chen Yan reviewed the memories of Xia Weimin, his own mastery of 【Blood Domain Reversing World】 grew deeper.

Within his mind, blood-red othershore flowers began to manifest, eventually transforming into a blood-colored long river.

Xia Weimin had entrusted everything to him, this future Divine General.

The other party had laid out everything here; the moment Chen Yan entered the Myriad Image Island, the entire Myriad Image Island began to change.

It was the resonance between Divine General and Divine General.

This was a legacy belonging solely to the Divine Generals!

"What you wanted to achieve, I am doing," Chen Yan whispered in his heart:

"Like you, I have never stopped; I will keep on living, to break the injustices of the world, to sever the shackles of the ancient gods!"

"With my blood, I shall reverse the chaotic world!"

Whoosh!

It was as if a river of blood was surging in the depths of Chen Yan's mind, with blood-red flowers blooming one after another.

Streaks of spear light emerged with brilliant radiance, blazing and scorching, burning intensely.

At this moment, Chen Yan's martial path seemed to be in complete harmony with Xia Weimin's.

This long road at this moment was not being walked by Chen Yan alone, but by two people.

Crossing time and space.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder.

"I am never alone!"

Chen Yan whispered in his heart, his will becoming increasingly tragic and fierce; within his body, it seemed as if vitality was being rekindled, wanting to break the current state of deathly silence.

Chen Yan's physical body had indeed died, driven either by malice or by will.

But at this moment, it truly seemed as if vitality was being generated.

"Teacher Wang Yang, Brother Luo, Deputy Chief Shen, Chen Min, little sister, Lu Xunyang, Xia Qi, Xue Qi, Xia Weimin..."

Chen Yan whispered in his heart:

"My martial path is never alone!"

He could hear the sounds of voices calling out, and he could see face after face.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm, Chen Yan's consciousness caressed that towering tree.

"Saint-Breaking Tree, Saint-Breaking Tree, back then, could you see the Chen Yan of today?"

He said, revealing a smile:

"Are you satisfied with the Chen Yan of today?"

"That's right, you are me, and I am you." Chen Yan whispered to himself:

"I must do even better."

Golden flames of light emerged.

That 【Technique】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit continued to grow.

Fifty-seven percent!

Fifty-eight percent!

…………

Seventy percent!

…………

Eighty-one percent!

…………

Ninety-three percent!

The 【Technique】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit had not yet matured, but Chen Yan's mastery of 【Blood Domain Reversing the World】 had broken through to the Heart-Entering stage.

Entry, Heart-Entering, Profound-Entering, Micro-Entering, Divine-Entering.

Chen Yan's thinking transcended its limits, and deep within his mind, he simulated the situation with absolute clarity.

Gunfire bloomed wantonly, and other-shore flowers blossomed quietly amidst the blood-colored light, their crimson petals fluttering to form a surging river of blood.

The power of a single shot was now more than ten times stronger than the "Peanut Thirty-Three" from when he was at the Entry stage.

The true ultimate technique belonging to Chen Yan had arrived.

Climbing all the way up!

Time passed slowly.

Chen Yan climbed to the two hundredth step.

Two hundred and first step.

Two hundred and second step.

…………

Two hundred and thirty-fifth step!

By now, Chen Yan also understood the origin of the gravity on these steps.

While it appeared to be an increase step by step, in reality, the frequency at which the gravity radiated had a massive connection to 【Blood Domain Reversing the World】.

Feeling the gravity was also a way of mastering 【Blood Domain Reversing the World】.

Chen Yan's body continued to climb the steps, simultaneously gaining insights into 【Blood Domain Reversing the World】 and attempting to revitalize his body.

Chen Yan's body had been driven by the Path of Will all along, but the rest of his own vitality had yet to be activated.

The soul, the Qi and blood, and the physical body each possessed their own vitality.

What Chen Yan needed to do was to awaken them all, rather than relying solely on his will.

Why could Ancient Divine Beasts use Qi and blood, and mental power?

That was because malice had bestowed vitality upon the Ancient Divine Beasts in another dimension.

The Path of Will was the same.

But only by awakening all the vitality of his physical body would Chen Yan completely recover his strength.

He could not always rely on his will to keep him going.

This was an ultimate experiment regarding the Path of Will.

When Chen Yan chose to transform into an Ancient Divine Beast inside the Divine General Temple, he had already thought of this.

Moreover, he also needed to create the final component of the second realm of the Path of Will: the Establishing Realm.

Time passed slowly.

It was the fifteenth day of Chen Yan's lecture.

Throughout the world, most people had returned to their work one after another, occasionally paying attention to Bing Yi's climbing journey.

After all, everyone had their own lives to lead.

However, many people's concepts of top-tier prodigies were completely overturned.

"Isn't Chen Yunyou the number one prodigy? How is his climbing speed not even as fast as Bing Yi's?"

"And Chi Yuexi, Lu Fukun, and the others have also been left far behind by Bing Yi."

"This Jinzhi Palace climb is matched to the strength of the climbing martial artist; it only looks at whether one's will is strong."

"Chen Yunyou said before that the higher the mastery of 【Blood Domain Reversing the World】, the faster the climbing speed; he definitely can't compare to Bing Yi."

"I didn't expect Bing Yi to be so powerful."

…………

Sighs of emotion rose one after another.

Prodigies like Lu Fukun, whom people from all continents had previously deemed supreme, were now being crushed by Bing Yi alone.

Even if some said that the judgment of climbing speed was based on one's own will and the degree of mastery over 【Blood Domain Reversing the World】.

In both of these, Bing Yi was surely crushing the others.

But their current performance still spoke volumes.

Chen Yunyou and the others were no match for Bing Yi.

It was not just the living beings of the five clans who felt complex emotions; the hearts of Chi Yuexi and the others were the same.

Chen Yan had already climbed to the two hundred and fifty-seventh step.

Among them, Chen Yunyou, who was climbing the stairs the fastest, had only reached the two hundred and twenty-fifth step.

At this moment, Chen Yunyou was performing spear techniques while climbing the stairs.

Previously, Chen Yan had fought against the phantom of Xia Weimin, and Chen Yunyou had watched with extreme care, plus there was the help of the Chen Clan's data.

At this moment, a flower of the other shore also emerged on the tip of Chen Yunyou's spear.

"The gravity of the stairs is related to the Blood Domain Inverse World; as long as I climb according to the vibration frequency of the Blood Domain Inverse World, I can reach the top this time."

Chen Yunyou whispered in his heart, and it was at this moment.

A message from the Chen Master arrived:

"Enter the Brocade Palace, bring back Chen Yi's corpse, then destroy the interior; if possible, kill Bing Yi."

Chen Yunyou's expression tightened slightly:

"Yes."

He looked at Bing Yi's back in front of him, and a murderous intent emerged in his heart.

Yet at this very moment, Chen Yan, who had been climbing the stairs, paused his body and looked back at Chen Yunyou behind him.

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

Immediately, he looked at the malicious black fog all around.

"As expected," Chen Yan whispered.

In a distant place.

At the northernmost point, inside a pitch-black tower named the Myriad Forms Tower.

Pitch-black chains imprisoned a powerful living being whose entire body was overflowing with black smoke.

Beneath the malicious black fog, those eyes of his seemed to pierce through the barriers of the black tower.

"Getting stronger and stronger, perhaps he really can..."

Clatter, clatter...

His body shook, causing the chains to rattle; the chains embedded in his flesh and bones collided with his physical body, causing extreme pain.

"One thousand years, Father, one thousand years."

The living being whose entire body overflowed with malice whispered.

Yet at this moment.

"What is going on?"

He suddenly spoke with a trembling voice.

At the same time.

The expressions of the heaven-proud ones climbing the stairs, such as Chen Yunyou, all trembled slightly.

"What is going on?"

Throughout the entire world, when everyone was not paying real-time attention to Bing Yi's climbing of the stairs.

Suddenly, someone's expression changed wildly.

"What is that!"

"Malice, why has it suddenly become so dense?"

"So terrifying!"

…………

The world was shocked!

"How is this possible?" Below the stairs, Lu Jianxia was distraught:

"He has already walked to this step..."

But then.

Above the high stairs of the Brocade Palace.

Caw, caw, caw!

A shrill cry rang out.

Above Chen Yan's head, malice surged, twisted, and intertwined.

Clusters of malicious black clouds emitting a faint, cold light drifted wantonly.

An endless aura of evil overflowed.

Countless indescribable, bizarre whispers resounded.

"This..."

Chi Yuexi screamed, looking up at the sky in astonishment.

The malice of the entire Myriad Forms Island gathered toward this location.

Forming a vortex, within which countless parasites emitting a faint green fluorescence surged and struggled crazily.

Eccentric, mutated faces shrieked and wailed, 'yi-ya, yi-ya'; every twisted, strange object was falling toward the stairs.

"I feel like I'm being affected." Lu Fukun's expression changed drastically; that dense malice seemed to represent the power of rules, wanting to bind him.

The malice dripped down, just like pitch-black ink polluting the space.

Chen Yunyou's expression changed wildly; beside him, clusters of mucus gathered, forming layers upon layers of twisted, deformed eye shapes.

They just stared at him like that.

"Bing Yi, you... have harmed us!"

Chen Yunyou roared lowly.

"Withdraw!"

A message from Chen Qi arrived.

Outside Myriad Aspect Island.

Chen Qi whispered:

"As expected, going from life to death is easy, but going from death to life is too difficult; this is the rule, the rule of heaven and earth."

Chi Xun was also stunned, and hurriedly sent a message to Chi Yuexi:

"Leave quickly, the rule of malice does not allow Bing Yi to transform from an ancient divine beast into a living being!"

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

A perverse, inexplicable, furtive, and grand whispering sound suddenly resonated from Myriad Aspect Island; that indescribable frequency exceeded the limits of what humans could endure.

Even the Lu family's communicators could not capture or simulate it.

It was as if countless mice had scurried into people's ears, gnawing and tearing.

The next moment, Chi Xun stood up abruptly.

"It's over!"

He let out a low roar.

At this moment.

Including Chi Yuexi, as well as Lu Fukun, Ji Chuxi, and even Chen Yunyou, their bodies were completely rigid.

Malice enveloped them, completely controlling their bodies.

Even though they were Seventh-Stage Creation Realm experts, they lost the power to resist when facing a world of malice that acted like a rule.

Lu Jianxia wanted to fly into the high sky, but was cut off by endless malice.

As for the world watching, it was fortunate that the Lu family's signal transmission could not simulate the current scene and sound.

They could only see a blurred scene and could not hear the sound.

But when living beings saw this scene, they still became terrified and lived in constant fear.

Everyone knew one thing.

That was that Bing Yi was finished.

The other party wanted to turn from death to life, but had touched the most terrifying rule of this world.

Rules, rules.

How could the rules of martial arts be as terrifying as the rule of malice?

At this moment, the deepest terror in people's hearts descended; just by looking, they could not breathe, and their thoughts became chaotic.

This was the law of the human world; malice could blur everything and corrode everything.

At this moment, even Chen Yunyou was controlled, or to be precise, suppressed.

Lu Jianxia lost all color in her face.

She was completely at a loss for what to do; her body felt as if it had been filled with lead, unable to move.

Above the steps, Chen Yan slowly turned his head and looked at the malice in the high sky.

With this one look, his gaze seemed to fall into an endless black abyss, staring at an inexplicable entity.

This was the ultimate enemy of the path of will.

This was the endless city wall at the end of his, Chen Yan's, martial arts.

This was the origin of the world's malice.

When Chen Yan transformed into an ancient divine beast, It did not appear.

When Chen Yan used his will to control the body of the ancient divine beast, the other party also did not appear.

When Chen Yan devoured and extinguished all the malice within himself, the other party still did not appear.

Because the first situation was one of the rules.

The second situation also proved Chen Yan's conjecture.

That was, the path of will did not belong within the rules of malice.

The third type: because the path of will did not belong to the rules of malice, the rule treated Chen Yan using his will to devour and extinguish malice as Chen Yan, in his form as an ancient divine beast, forcibly expelling his own malice from his body.

This was also within the rules.

But Chen Yan wanted to transform from a dead ancient divine beast into a living being, to rejuvenate all the vitality of his physical body.

This, then, touched the rule!

Ancient divine beasts cannot become human.

If Chen Yan had only continued to drive his physical body with his will, this would not have happened.

But what Chen Yan had just done was a complete transition from death to life.

Cackle, cackle, cackle!

Billions of gibberish sounds at different frequencies vibrated simultaneously, and unimaginable energy exploded in the void.

The rule of malice seemed to have noticed this person who was still staring at It.

Looking at this ant, It let out an unspeakable hiss.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Countless roars.

Tap, tap, tap...

Chen Yunyou's expression was one of struggle; at this moment, he hated Bing Yi to the core.

If it weren't for Bing Yi, how could he have been affected by malice?

How powerful must the malice that could suppress the Creation Realm be?

They still had their consciousness, but they could not control their own bodies; one by one, they flew toward Chen Yan like walking corpses.

Raising their own hands, they intended to kill Bing Yi.

A massive crisis had thoroughly arrived.

And Chen Yan's eyes became incomparably cold.

Until the instant Chen Yunyou's fist smashed down.

Hum!!!

A brilliant golden-red light, like the great sun shining high, with ten thousand golden rays floating in the mid-sky, formed another world in sharp contrast to the malice in the heavens.

Will Divine Body, manifest!
