Chapter 518: The Chen Master's Turn

Crushed in an instant!

This was the perfect solution Chen Yan had conceived.

The Chen Clan naturally possessed methods to suppress Bing Yi, and in fact, the Chen Clan had been overly cautious; they would never have given Bing Yi the slightest chance.

Therefore, the effect of the fake Bing Yi had to be manifested.

If the battle dragged on, there would be problems—why did Bing Yi's combat power suddenly vanish after fifteen minutes?

Why had Bing Yi never unleashed the 【Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill】?

This was the most critical issue.

Chen Yan had to force Chen Yunyou to bring out all his preparations at the very first moment to thoroughly suppress this fake Bing Yi.

At this moment, the effect was clearly manifested.

Bing Yi detonated all the Tier 7 explosive array discs in an instant, not even hiding the Profound-level 【Blood Domain Reversing World】.

An instantaneous eruption.

Anyone could see that Bing Yi intended to annihilate Chen Yunyou.

Feeling the terrifying sense of danger coming from all directions, Chen Yunyou let out a roar, his entire body feeling as if it were being pierced by countless iron needles.

He was no fool; even in his rage, his first instinct was to judge that the current Bing Yi was someone he could not defeat.

The Profound-level 【Blood Domain Reversing World】 provided Bing Yi with power sufficient to kill him!

Chen Yunyou was no longer stubborn; his Origin Space vibrated, and streaks of blood-colored threads erupted from his body.

The scarlet rays wound through the void like horned dragons, densely surrounding the target in an instant.

Time itself seemed to freeze in this instant.

The next moment.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

A terrifying, explosive roar resounded, flames filling the sky, but bound by countless scarlet threads, the void was continuously shattered, and waves of scorching heat dissipated outward.

Four blood pits were blasted into Chen Yunyou's body, his flesh and blood mangled into a miserable, deformed state.

Immediately following this, a blood-red array disc was tossed out by him.

In a split second, scarlet crystals gushed out from within the array disc, these crystals twisting and growing in the space between.

Puchi!

A crystal pierced into the body of Bing Yi, who was suspended in mid-air; Bing Yi's body became unstable and hurriedly retreated violently.

Immediately after, crack, crack, crack!!!

Another ten crystals pierced into Bing Yi's body from all directions, locking them firmly in mid-air.

Chen Yunyou's expression turned ugly to the extreme as he forcibly tore a piece of rotting flesh from his chest.

He was naturally furious.

He had originally thought that his own strength would be sufficient to suppress Bing Yi, never expecting that at the most critical moment, he would still have to take out the means the Chen Clan had prepared for him.

It was also at this moment.

At the windowsill on the second floor of the Brocade Palace, five Tier 6 explosive array discs flew up, only to detonate in mid-air.

It was Bing Yi struggling.

Chen Yunyou narrowed his eyes.

Crack, crack, crack, crack!!!

Over a hundred scarlet crystals pierced into Bing Yi's body, instantly rendering Bing Yi unable to move any longer.

"If you continue to struggle, your physical body will only collapse completely!"

Chen Yunyou shouted coldly, taking out more array discs; these discs were of various shapes and were continuously stacked by him onto the scarlet array disc he had thrown out at the beginning.

Immediately, these array discs began to operate.

Pitch-black secret scripts, like worms, spread from the scarlet array disc, flowing along the crystals and into Bing Yi's body.

At the same time, eight translucent scrolls stood up beside Bing Yi, cyan energy overflowing from these scrolls and covering Bing Yi's body.

Chen Yunyou took out a syringe, injected himself with medicine, and looking at the now completely controlled Bing Yi, said indifferently:

"You didn't expect the Chen Clan to have prepared so many gifts for you, did you?" He pointed at Bing Yi:

"What made you think that my Chen Clan wouldn't dare to kill you?

What made you think you were qualified to bargain with my Chen Clan!?"

His voice was filled with dominance and coldness.

When Bing Yi had unleashed the move earlier, they had shouted clearly that Bing Yi intended to annihilate him, Chen Yunyou, and force the Chen Clan to pay a high price as hush money.

Hush money for what?

Chen Yunyou did not know.

It might have been related to Chen Yi's gender.

Regarding the matter of the Brocade Palace, his own father had clearly lied to him.

But Chen Yunyou could not worry about that now; he only knew that in Bing Yi's heart, he, Chen Yunyou, was a bug that could be killed at will.

"Stop struggling; these array discs can control your physical body, your blood essence, and even your soul.

There is also enough poison to knock out a Tier 8; what does it matter how strong your will is?"

Chen Yunyou spoke.

The Chen Clan had prepared too well this time.

These array discs combined were enough to control a Tier 8, yet they were being used to control Bing Yi.

He had originally felt that there was no need for this at all.

But just a moment ago, Bing Yi had almost killed him in an instant.

Bing Yi's strength increased too quickly, making Bing Yi arrogant to the extreme and conceited to the extreme.

Of course, Bing Yi had this qualification.

Therefore, in this battle, the Chen Clan instead became the cautious challenger, while Bing Yi was the gatekeeper.

Bing Yi's arrogance caused them to lose.

Chen Yunyou had lingering fears, and their expression turned even colder at this moment.

Immediately, they took out a large instrument.

This instrument was a full five meters high, five meters wide, and five meters long.

The whole thing was a regular hexahedron structure, with countless edges flickering with gloomy light interwoven together.

The upper part of the instrument was a completely transparent observation room.

The lower half was in a sealed state, and there was a control console directly in front.

The moment Chen Yunyou took out the instrument, the iron door behind the instrument opened.

Sizzle...

Strands of cyan-black electric filaments spilled out from the observation room, sucking the already controlled Bing Yi along with all the control formation disks into the observation room.

Of course, this Bing Yi was a fake body created by Chen Yan.

Through the Dark Soul observation within the fake body, Chen Yan could not help but marvel.

The Chen Clan had truly put in enough effort for them.

Is this the capital and means of the Five Clans?

But Chen Yan had already won at the first layer of logic.

A fake body had borne everything for them.

And it was at this moment.

Chen Yunyou in front of the instrument had a gloomy and cold expression; they had already done everything as the Chen Master had said.

As for the subsequent plan, they did not know.

"Father, if we don't kill Bing Yi, how are we to give an account to the Yu Province side?"

Chen Yunyou spoke up.

Within Chen Province, the Chen Master issued an order in real-time:

"Remove their mask."

"Understood."

Chen Yunyou nodded, walked to the front of the control console, and entered a line of commands.

Immediately, a metal arm extended from within the wall of the observation room and removed Bing Yi's mask.

"I have never seen their appearance." Chen Yunyou's expression tightened slightly;

"They are not Chen Yan."

Over in Chen Province, the Chen Master's expression changed slightly as they continued:

"Test the bloodline."

A metal needle extended from within the mechanical arm and pierced into Bing Yi's body.

A string of text appeared on the control console's display screen.

Chen Yunyou fell into a long silence.

"What is the situation?" the Chen Master asked.

"They are not of the Five Clans bloodline, and their physical strength is very weak... They do not practice the path of Hard Tempering at all."

Chen Yunyou frowned; if this were the case, Bing Yi was definitely not the son of the Yu Master.

Through the test of physical strength, Bing Yi also did not practice Hard Tempering at all.

The other party was absolutely not Chen Yan.

For some reason, Chen Yunyou breathed a sigh of relief.

If Bing Yi were Chen Yan, that would be too terrifying.

What kind of existence could achieve breakthrough in both the Qi-Blood and Hard Tempering paths, and be invincible within the same realm?

In Chen Province, the Chen Master also fell silent.

For a moment, they did not know what the Yu Master was playing at.

The control machine they had prepared was assembled by Chen Province on the fly; its performance and computing power were not strong, so it was impossible to completely analyze Bing Yi with this one machine.

They still had to bring Bing Yi back to Chen Province.

Chen Province had absolutely perfect research institutions and testing systems.

They could slice and analyze every single particle of Bing Yi's physical body.

By then, the secrets belonging to Bing Yi or the Yu Province would all be grasped by Chen Province.

Inside a not-so-luxurious office.

The Chen Master sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and smoked it slowly.

"Father, what should I do next? Also, why is Chen Yi a woman?"

Chen Yunyou's communication came through, clearly also questioning this.

There were many things they did not understand.

When they discovered that their uncle, who was once the number one genius of the Five Clans, was a woman, Chen Yunyou's brain was in chaos.

They were very curious.

"This is a secret of my Chen Province. I will tell you after you return," the Chen Master exhaled a puff of smoke and said:

"Wait for half an hour, and test the control coefficient."

Chen Yunyou nodded.

Time passed slowly.

The Chen Master leisurely lit his third cigarette.

His appearance was not very handsome, even somewhat mediocre, but set off by his unique temperament, his features instead revealed an unusual elegance.

Before he ascended to the position of Chen Master, the previous Chen Master had poured out his heart and blood to elevate the Chen Clan, the worst of the five clans, to a respectable level.

And under his command, the Chen Clan completely erupted with endless glory.

This continued for nearly a hundred years.

The Chen Clan's livelihood, technology, martial arts, and even their destiny had reached the very pinnacle.

Now, he was only one final step away.

This final step was the act of changing the future.

"Father, the control coefficient is stable, and it is predicted to remain stable for over a year; it is sufficient to deal with Bing Yi," Chen Yunyou said.

"Bing Yi's life fluctuations have been hovering around zero point five."

"Mm."

The Chen Master spoke:

"Turn the control parameters to the maximum."

"Alright."

Inside the Brocade Palace, Chen Yunyou nodded and tapped a pitch-black button on the top left of the control console.

*Zzzzt! *

The center of that pitch-black button was actually hollow, and the moment Chen Yunyou pressed it, a thread of pitch-black lightning pierced out from within the button.

Chen Yunyou frowned.

He withdrew his hand, and a tiny wound had actually been pierced into his index finger by that thread of lightning.

Chen Yunyou paid it no mind, but just as he was preparing to continue pressing the button.

His body suddenly froze, and immediately after, his eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.

He was at the early stage of the Creation Realm!

When he was at the peak of the sixth rank in the Hardened Body path, the True Dragon Dharma Image he condensed had already exceeded ten thousand.

He was a Heaven's Pride of the Breaking Realm.

The strength of his physical body was such that even being struck by a thousand-meter mountain would not break his skin.

But just now, that tiny thread of electricity had actually pierced his fingertip.

"Father, this...!"

Chen Yunyou let out a low shout, and a strong sense of danger surged from his heart.

The next moment, he chose to flee immediately.

Yet, at the very instant he lifted his leg.

His body went limp, Chen Yunyou collapsed to the ground, his face twitching, and he used his last bit of strength to speak with difficulty:

"Void Poison!"

Void Poison.

A type of physical poison secretly developed by a researcher of the Chen Clan a hundred years ago.

Later, this poison was used for interrogating prisoners.

The reason was that once a person was struck by Void Poison, their physical body would be absolutely unable to move for five hours, but their consciousness would remain clear.

This was very terrifying; ordinary prisoners would have their legs go weak the moment an interrogator brought out the Void Poison.

Because they did not know what the interrogator would do to them in the coming five hours.

And over the past hundred years, after being continuously improved, the Chen Clan had already developed a Void Poison capable of knocking out those at the peak of the Creation Realm.

But Chen Yunyou had not expected that he would be the one to fall for it.

The only person who could have done this to him was his own father.

At this moment, his body was completely limp, and he could not even make facial expressions.

And it was at this time.

The control console beneath the monitoring room opened from the middle, and metal arms extended out.

Amidst Chen Yunyou's disbelieving expression, an array disk was activated by the mechanical arm, and streaks of cyan-green electric light flowed from the array disk and landed within his body.

When this array disk appeared, Chen Yunyou fell into despair.

This array disk was called the 【Profound Pine Array】, a very gentle name, but it could briefly soften the physical body of a Hardened Body martial artist.

"Begin the second stage."

In Chen Prefecture, the Chen Master said quietly, directly operating the instrument remotely.

"Please enter the secret key," the instrument sounded.

The Chen Master lit another cigarette, his brows slightly furrowed; there was actually this step as well.

But there was no help for it; this was a temporarily constructed controller, and the operating system had not been changed.

"Two, five, eight..."

The Chen Master spoke quietly, his voice ringing out above the massive instrument.

Lying on the ground, Chen Yunyou wailed and roared internally, yet he had no way to stop any of this.

"Seven."

The Chen Master's voice fell.

"Secret key input successful, second stage activated."

Chainsaws, electric sparks, and various instruments extended from within the metal arms.

Immediately following.

Hum!

A horrific, soul-wrenching surgery began.

Chen Yunyou's physical body was forcibly sliced open by the mechanical arms; blood flowed, organs shattered, and bone fragments splattered everywhere.

Chen Yan had not expected that Chen Yunyou, as the number one genius of the Five Clans and the son of the Chen Master, would actually be treated this way by the Chen Master.

And as Chen Yunyou's physical body was continuously dismembered and sliced open, Chen Yunyou's consciousness remained awake.

Through the tips of the meridians, Chen Yan could sense Chen Yunyou's will, which was struggling and wailing incessantly.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Finally, at a certain moment, Chen Yunyou forcibly endured the Void Poison, his will erupted, and he let out a hiss.

Boom.

An explosion rang out, and a force blasted against the massive instrument.

At the same time.

Inside Chen Prefecture, the Chen Master stood up abruptly, his expression finally changing.

The signal connection between him and the instrument had been severed.

The Chen Master's expression shifted constantly.

"How is this possible?" he said coldly:

"Is he having a final burst of energy, or has the path of will granted him a lifeline?"

The Chen Master was somewhat uncertain.

The instrument should have only been partially damaged; the other components should still be operating normally.

Was Chen Yunyou having a final burst of energy, or had he already overcome the Void Poison?

At this moment, even the Chen Master was somewhat unsteady.

He had calculated everything, but he had not calculated the changes in his own son.

He took out the Five Clans Ranking and merely watched it.

Now that he had lost the ability to monitor the instrument, he naturally did not know what was happening inside the Jinzhi Palace.

If Chen Yunyou was only having a final burst of energy, then Chen Yunyou would continue to be sliced by the instrument until death.

And it was at this very moment.

On the Five Clans Ranking, the name belonging to Chen Yunyou slowly faded, until finally, it disappeared completely.

The Chen Master's expression tightened slightly, a trace of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he immediately sent a voice transmission:

"The plan is complete, Chen He, it is your turn."

"Yes."

On the other side of the communication, a man's indifferent voice rang out.

At the same time.

Inside the Jinzhi Palace.

Chen Yunyou's brain began to churn like popping beans, followed immediately by his skin splitting and flesh tearing.

A tiny person, only the size of a ping-pong ball and covered in blood, crawled out from the hole in his brain.

This tiny person looked exactly like Chen Yunyou, but shrunk down by an unknown number of times.

It was evident.

Chen Yunyou's outburst just now was no accident.

He had intentionally blown up the connection between the Chen Master and the instrument, preventing the Chen Master from seeing his current transformation.

"Father!"

The shrunken version of Chen Yunyou's voice was miserable, filled with disbelief and rage.
