Chapter 517: Huge Harvest, Absolute Suppression!

Chen Yan walked toward the windowsill on the second floor and took out several explosive formation disks.

These were what Lu Fukun had once given to Chen Yan.

Sixth-rank explosive formation disks.

The other party usually scattered them by the hundreds.

Chen Yan had not finished using those that were given to him previously.

At this moment.

There were still a few days left before Chen Yunyou climbed to the three-hundredth step.

The moment the other party entered.

Would be the beginning of the mutual scheming between Chen Yan and the Chen Clan.

Chen Yan stepped into the higher levels of the Brocade Palace.

This was the place where Chen Yi gave birth, and also the bedchamber and cultivation grounds of Xia Weimin.

As a Divine General, Xia Weimin must have left some things behind in this place.

The incident happened suddenly back then; whatever was here then, is still here now.

It is just that many things have been maliciously eroded for a thousand years.

Dark, twisted, and viscous malice was constantly devouring everything.

Chen Yan walked along the metal spiral staircase to the third floor; this was Xia Weimin's private living area.

Walking along the corridor full of cracks and rubble, Chen Yan pushed open door after door, until he stopped in front of a small room.

This small room was originally decorated very exquisitely, but the soft-paved floor had long since become pitted and was emitting black smoke, and the crib sitting in the middle had also rotted away completely.

Beside the crib, there were a few parenting books, looking as if they had been scorched.

Chen Yan went upstairs again; the fourth floor was Xia Weimin's cultivation room.

The bluestone material used for the cultivation room was special, so even after experiencing a thousand years of malicious erosion, it could still be used.

It just required a password.

The password was naturally mechanical, and it had long since been corroded.

Chen Yan kicked it open; in the center of the cultivation room, there was unexpectedly a pitch-black long spear.

Even after a thousand years, this long spear was still emitting a surging spear intent.

When Chen Yan walked closer.

Hum!

A vast spear shadow erupted from the long spear in an instant.

True Intent Stone!

No.

It does not count as a True Intent Stone.

But it has the function of a True Intent Stone.

Chen Yan's expression changed slightly.

This is a long spear that has condensed Xia Weimin's spear soul!

The spear soul was still burning, and streaks of spear shadows thrust toward Chen Yan.

In the air, there would faintly come bursts of the sound of metal weapons clashing, and at the same time, the sound of a great river rushing.

Immortal for a thousand years.

Xia Weimin was not arrogant; he truly achieved long-term resistance against the malice in another aspect.

Chen Yan released his spear realm to resist the harassment of the spear soul, yet his physical body was still involuntarily pierced.

Sss, sss, sss...

Chen Yan touched the long spear with one hand, and his palm was instantly corroded.

Immediately following, this long spear trembled, as if it had sensed something, and the spear soul disappeared.

A piece of information pierced into Chen Yan's mind.

"Jinyi." Chen Yan whispered; this was the long spear Xia Weimin used for his daily cultivation.

Because the long spear absorbed Xia Weimin's spear soul, and its own quality was also Sun-Rank Grade A.

Under the corrosion of a thousand years of malice, it was preserved.

"I accept your memories."

Chen Yan whispered, putting the Jinyi spear into his own origin space.

This was Chen Yan's first weapon.

In the past, Chen Yan really had no need to purchase weapons.

Condensing a long spear with Qi and blood cost nothing.

But this Jinyi was different.

It contained Xia Weimin's spear soul; if Chen Yan used it, the boost to his own combat power would be unimaginable.

There was another key point: Chen Yan could contemplate this long spear to strengthen his own spear realm.

Xia Weimin was a very pure person.

The other party only pursued one thing in his life, but after coming into contact with Chen Zhou, everything changed.

One person from the Chen Clan caused his death and destroyed him in every aspect.

Another person from the Chen Clan, one thousand years later, learned everything about him and inherited his memories and long spear.

This was just like a cycle of reincarnation.

Chen Yan felt heavy-hearted for a moment and continued walking toward the floor above.

"The reason I risked a life-and-death battle with the Chen Clan to come here, isn't it because..."

Chen Yan's black hair was blown by the malice, his expression incomparably cold.

"Have you been waiting for me for a thousand years?"

Chen Yan arrived at the highest level.

Here, there was surprisingly only one room.

A thick bluestone gate stood within the malice, unchanged for a thousand years; even the lock cylinder was cast from bluestone and had not decayed.

Chen Yan looked at the keyhole, took out the Ember Memory Spear, and inserted the spear tip into it.

Click!

The gate was opened.

Chen Yan pushed the gate open and walked inside, only to find more gates.

Due to the unique ability of the bluestone material used for the cultivation room to isolate malice, the gates inside were even more tightly sealed.

However, the lock cylinders were all the same.

These gates were not worried about someone entering from the outside, but rather about the things inside escaping.

Chen Yan already had a guess in his heart.

He kept pushing open the innermost gate.

Inside, dozens of glazed bottles engraved with secret scripts were placed, these glazed bottles welded to the floor by their bases.

Each glazed bottle was only ten centimeters high, with a claw-waving, tooth-baring Blood Beast floating inside each one.

These Blood Beasts had small bodies but tense muscles, their entire bodies radiating intense malice and blood energy.

The moment they saw Chen Yan, they became irritable.

They kept slamming against the bottle walls, emitting dull sounds.

These were Blood Pills.

Chen Yan had seen it in the deputy general's memory: Xia Weimin had cast the Blood-Drawing Array, refining most of the Ancient God Beasts of Ten Thousand Phases Island into Blood Pills.

Using blood energy to seal the malice of the Ancient God Beasts.

Xia Weimin's move was very risky; after all, blood energy and malice would also combine.

Just like now.

Xia Weimin had clearly divided that one Blood Pill into eighty portions and placed them here.

But after a thousand years, the blood energy and malice within these eighty small Blood Pills had long since combined, as if they were about to become Ancient God Beasts.

Through the glazed bottles, Chen Yan could feel the aura overflowing from the bodies of these eighty small Ancient God Beasts.

Seventh Rank!

Eighty Seventh-Rank Ancient God Beasts!

Fortunately, they had not yet taken form, but in another hundred years, these Ancient God Beasts would definitely take form.

Once they rushed out of the glazed bottles that imprisoned them, they would devour the malice within Ten Thousand Phases Island and continue to strengthen.

This would be a catastrophe!

Originally, Xia Weimin lived here and kept watch at all times, so these Blood Pills did not even have the possibility of taking shape.

But Xia Weimin was murdered, and this place was his secret.

For the sake of power, the current Chen Lord had actually left such a huge hidden danger for the world.

Chen Yan came before these glazed bottles; in front of every glazed bottle was a lock cylinder embedded in the ground.

What was inside these glazed bottles were semi-finished Ancient God Beasts; in another sense, these were also lives and could not be stored in the Origin Space.

Chen Yan would slowly devour this malice and then absorb the blood energy within.

This would allow Chen Yan to go a step further, and even...

It was a massive opportunity sufficient to allow Chen Yan to charge into the Creation Realm!

However, Chen Yan did not extract them immediately.

Within his body, there was still that blood energy rewarded by the Calamity Remains God Lamp, enough for him to cultivate for these few days.

…………

Time passed slowly.

On the three-hundredth step of the Brocade Palace.

Chen Yunyou panted heavily, cold light appearing in his eyes.

"Go in and take back the Secret Blood."

The Chen Lord transmitted his voice; he had been deceiving Chen Yunyou all along.

Chen Yi's body contained the Chen Clan Secret Blood, which was actually something the Chen Lord had fabricated.

What he told Chen Yunyou was:

The function of this Secret Blood concerned the highest secret of the Chen Clan, and even the Chen Lord could not explain it clearly.

Chen Yunyou had always thought that Bing Yi was the great enemy who had stolen the Chen Clan Secret Blood.

"Understood." Chen Yunyou transmitted back:

"Bing Yi hasn't come out; does he really think my Chen Clan is easy to bully?"

Within Chen Prefecture, the Chen Lord's expression was calm.

He did not know to what extent Bing Yi had learned.

Even if he saw that Chen Yi was female within the Brocade Palace, Bing Yi should not be able to deduce the events of that year.

After all, if you are only given a female corpse, what could you possibly deduce?

What exactly happened back then, and how could Bing Yi know?

But Master Chen is unwilling to gamble.

If it is a secret, it should be left to rot completely in a corner.

Even if Bing Yi does not know what that female corpse and the other infant corpse represent.

But what if this information were to be passed on?

It is hard to guarantee that the Xia Clan has not been investigating the matter of Ten Thousand Phases Island; if this information becomes known to the Xia Clan, it will cause the Xia Clan to grow suspicious.

There is one more point.

Why does Master Chen want Bing Yi to continue cultivating?

Within the other party's body, within the other party's brain, lie the mysteries and truths regarding the Dao of Will.

Within the entire Ten Thousand Phases Island, the greatest opportunity is Bing Yi.

He stands before the massive floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the vast Chen Prefecture outside the window.

"A person's life, a person's life..."

…………

Chen Yunyou enters the Brocade Palace under the gaze of everyone.

With a wave of his hand, he tosses out a mechanical part as small as a fingertip.

Points of light emerge on the mechanical part.

In an instant, the signals for the entire Brocade Palace are completely blocked.

Except for the signals of his Chen Clan, no other signals can enter.

In fact, just as Bing Yi entered the Brocade Palace, the Chen Clan had already planted other signal monitors around the inner city.

The Chen Clan is also worried that Bing Yi might communicate with Chi Xun or Ji Haiyi.

Especially Chi Xun.

Chi Xun's attitude toward Bing Yi is a bit too good.

Everything regarding the Brocade Palace cannot be allowed to be passed out.

Above the steps.

Lu Jianxia watches quietly, something flickering within her pair of silver eyes, and then she slowly turns her back.

She knows that the battle belonging to Chen Yan and the Chen Clan has begun.

Chen Yunyou walks quietly into the second floor of the Brocade Palace.

He is the first to see the two bodies behind the tattered curtain.

No, three bodies.

Chen Yunyou narrows his eyes; he looks first at the corpse wearing the tattered military uniform.

This corpse has already decayed; in life, it should have been at the Creation Realm, otherwise, the corpse would not have been preserved so completely.

This should be Chen Yi...

No.

How could that corpse wearing a Great Xia military uniform be Chen Yi?

Then the other one...

Chen Yunyou's expression becomes stunned; that headless corpse—he can tell just by sensing it that it is a woman holding an infant's corpse.

In an instant, Chen Yunyou's brain crashes.

Who exactly is Chen Yi?

He is just about to lean in to observe when his expression suddenly pauses.

He looks toward a pitch-black throne in the deepest part of the great hall, where Bing Yi, dressed in ink-colored robes, is sitting reclined.

"Bing Yi," Chen Yunyou says indifferently.

"Brother Yunyou, this Chen Yi is actually a woman, and she was holding an infant while alive."

Bing Yi on the throne speaks.

Chen Yunyou narrows his eyes:

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, how many resources is your Chen Clan willing to give me so that I can help you hide these things?" Bing Yi says with a smile.

Chen Yunyou's complexion changes drastically.

What does that mean?

What secret has Bing Yi actually grasped?

"Kill him," Master Chen transmits, his voice cold.

"Father..." Chen Yunyou finds it difficult to choose for a moment; didn't his father tell him that the Chen Clan's secret blood within Chen Yi was the most important thing?

"Kill him," Master Chen barks again.

Chen Yunyou's body stiffens, his physical form begins to swell, and the terrifying aura of the 【Avici Indestructible】 dissipates, as if a demon king has descended.

"You want to kill me?" Bing Yi says indifferently:

"Just by relying on you?"

Rage erupts in Chen Yunyou's eyes; he no longer controls his expression and barks:

"Bing Yi, it is true that your progress is too fast, and it is also true that you are too arrogant!"

Chen Yunyou does not believe he cannot defeat Bing Yi.

The next moment.

Whoosh!

A surging river of blood, mixed with thunder and frost, crashes down!

Chen Yunyou threw a punch, and the fist imprint collided with the blood river.

The void shattered, and blood-colored othershore flowers pierced into Chen Yunyou's body.

Chen Yunyou's expression changed drastically; Bing Yi's strength had actually reached such a level!

In an instant, Chen Yunyou's confidence was nearly extinguished.

Last time, he had been able to suppress Bing Yi!

And it was at this very moment.

A straight phantom image struck instantly, the surging blood river mixed with the terrifying true essence of spear techniques pressing down in an instant.

At the same time.

Several explosive formation disks appeared instantly beside Chen Yunyou.

Chen Yunyou's expression changed instantly.

Was it six, seven?

Or... eight?

Bing Yi intended to crush and kill him in an instant!

He had not expected this; was there no need to test the waters first before unleashing a finishing move?

"Chen Clan, I have killed Chen Yunyou; you may send someone else to negotiate with me!" a cold voice rang out.

A single spear strike like a startled swan!

The blazing Immortal Will struck down like a great sun!

Heart-Entry level 【Blood Domain Against the World】, all the explosive formation disks, plus the Immortal Will, erupted all at once!

What Chen Yan wanted was to erupt with all combat power in a single instant.

What he wanted was to force Chen Yunyou into a desperate situation from the very beginning.

"Get lost!!!"

Chen Yunyou roared low, the power within his body erupting to its absolute limit.

He had other means given by the Chen Clan that could suppress Bing Yi, but he was unwilling to use them.

He wanted to kill Bing Yi with his own hands.

He was a heaven-gifted prodigy!

He was the number one heaven-gifted prodigy of the Five Clans!

Chen Yunyou pushed his fist horizontally, ten thousand vengeful spirits roaring within the fist imprint, intending to collide with this move of Bing Yi's.

And at that very instant!

Rumble!!!

Ten!

Ten blood rivers manifested, biting toward Chen Yunyou like blood dragons devouring the heavens.

Streaks of spear light wove through the churning blood like spirit snakes.

Countless othershore flowers manifested!

Profound-Entry level 【Blood Domain Against the World】!

The power of this move unleashed by Chen Yan suddenly increased more than tenfold!

"Profound-Entry!"

Chen Yunyou's eyes widened in disbelief.

Facing a Profound-Entry level 【Blood Domain Against the World】, he was truly going to die!

At the same time, the Immortal Will blasted into his brain, crushing all of his will!

The confidence he had when he entered the path of will completely vanished.

In Chen Yunyou's eyes, this instant's Bing Yi had become an unimaginably terrifying spear demon!

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Chen Yunyou's roar rang out completely, and his eyes were split open.

At this moment, Chen Yunyou, as the number one heaven-gifted prodigy of the Five Clans, felt the crisis of death for the first time.

Terrifying!

Terrifying to the extreme!

His roar traveled outward, shocking people's hearts.

Chi Yuexi and the other heaven-gifted prodigies heard it and could not believe it.

Within Chen Prefecture, the calm-faced Chen Master's body instantly stiffened.

Was this Bing Yi's true source of confidence?!
