Chapter 545: World-Shaking Change: The Lord of Will Extinguishes an Ancient God in an Instant!

A heaven-shaking, massive change occurred.

At the origin of the martial path, Chen Yan condensed the image of the Lord of Will with his will.

At the ends of the path, the Will Martial Artists wore expressions of shock; the words spoken by the Lord of Will at this moment were truly earth-shattering.

Merely sensing the back of the Lord of Will, that unprecedented aura made one unable to extricate oneself.

Will Martial Artists like Lu Jianxia were the first to inform the true high-level authorities of every province.

Lord Chen and other supreme figures of the world soon learned of the changes in the Lord of Will.

Inside the cultivation room, Lu Jianxia's pair of silver eyes widened, and her fair cheeks were trembling slightly.

An existence like the Lord of Will would certainly not speak empty words.

If the other party were to arrive, what kind of changes would occur in the world?

By that time.

The forces of the entire world would change.

It was difficult to judge how the Great Xia and the Five Clans would conduct themselves.

The only piece of good news was this.

The Path of Will can devour and extinguish malice, and the Lord of Will had also once said that he could extinguish an Ancient God with a mere wave of his hand.

If that were the case, the arrival of the Lord of Will would instead easily resolve the world's true predicament.

For a moment.

All the Will Martial Artists did not know whether to be happy or worried.

The Lord of Will was too powerful, powerful and unknown.

This was the source of all problems.

Immediately following, all the Will Martial Artists heard that grand voice resound once more.

"Before long, you shall offer unto Me the power of faith.

My will, I may draw forth a wisp of, to descend upon the body of a Will Martial Artist.

My will traverses the long river of time to arrive here, though it be but for an instant.

Yet in this instant, I am sufficient to extinguish that Ancient God in your world which is about to awaken."

Immediately.

The manifestation of the Lord of Will vanished, and all the Will Martial Artists felt as if they had just awakened from a dream, feeling that everything was extremely surreal.

Shen Yiwei sat dazed for a long, long time, and even the Blood Sword Saint widened his eyes, revealing an expression of disbelief.

It was as if a vortex had appeared within his brain, wanting to devour all his thoughts.

The meaning of the Lord of Will was very clear.

The living beings of the mortal world provide him with the power of faith, which can allow a wisp of his will to descend upon a Will Martial Artist.

This wisp of the power of will would only appear for an instant, but just for that instant,

it would be enough for the Lord of Will to extinguish that Ancient God about to awaken in the mortal world.

Such powerful self-confidence.

Such indescribable greatness.

"My Great Xia... my Great Xia is saved!"

A trembling voice resounded, and tears of excitement flowed from the eyes of the Blood Sword Saint.

Even he had been shocked.

"I, too, have once thought... what a world without Ancient Gods would be like."

Shen Yiwei murmured, a trace of imperceptible yearning flashing through his eyes.

Yearning!

Yearning for a world without malice, yearning for a world without Ancient Gods.

The Great Xia would not have to suffer catastrophe, the mortal world would not need to fight endlessly, and living beings would not need to live in despair every day.

Even they were marveling at, and even worrying about, the powerful strength of the Lord of Will.

But such an existence would not lie, would he?

He would not say things he was fundamentally incapable of doing, would he?

"Brother..."

Beside him, Chen Yu rubbed her eyes, hugged Chen Yan's arm, and shook it.

Chen Yu had once witnessed the process of her brother personally devouring and extinguishing malice during the Heaven's Pride Trial.

It had shocked her at the time.

She had thought about many, many things, but gradually, the little girl came to recognize the Path of Will.

Now, she even knew of the Lord of Will.

She thought that the Chen Yan of that time had not become the Lord of the Martial Path, but had become a Will Martial Artist.

Of course, this was mainly Ji Yannan's thought.

Ji Yannan found it hard to believe that Chen Yan would become the Lord of Will.

Not to mention that the power displayed by this Lord of Will today was so great.

"Brother, it seems we don't have to fight anymore." The little girl leaned against Chen Yan and spoke in a spoiled tone.

Soon, the news was passed on.

Throughout the entire Moshan Pass, and even within Chuli Pass, waves of uproar erupted.

Very quickly, it began to boil over.

Some were shocked, some were terrified, but more were weeping with joy.

Chen Yan sat quietly, sensing the Saint-Breaking Realm.

Within it, the azure radiance grew more and more abundant, becoming increasingly dense as it irrigated the towering, verdant tree.

The surface of that date-pit-sized "Break" Saint-Breaking Fruit was covered in shimmering blue mist.

【Break: 16/100】

The "Break" Saint-Breaking Fruit was growing slowly.

As time passed, once this news spread completely, the growth rate of the "Break" Saint-Breaking Fruit would only become faster and faster.

This was the result Chen Yan wanted.

The primary goal was to allow the Lord of Will to obtain more and more power of faith.

On the other hand.

It was to tell the world who the true adversary really was.

Who was it?

Naturally, it was Lord Chen, it was Chen Prefecture.

How to tell them? The Lord of Will had made it very clear: a sliver of his will would descend upon a Will Martial Artist, and it would only appear for an instant.

In that instant, it would annihilate the ancient god that was about to awaken.

Everyone would assume that what the Lord of Will spoke of was the White Calamity Ancient God located in Great Xia.

That sliver of will power would only appear for an instant, and it would most likely descend upon the Will Martial Artist closest to the ancient god.

The world believed that a certain Will Martial Artist in Great Xia would receive the will power of the Lord of Will.

And at this moment, the Lord of Will would tell the world directly that he would descend upon a Will Martial Artist in Chen Prefecture.

At this moment.

What would the world think?

Everyone would be bewildered at first, and then shocked the next moment.

So, the true threat was not Great Xia, but Chen Prefecture.

They would speculate, why would it be Chen Prefecture?

This was Chen Yan's objective.

Killing two birds with one stone.

And the Lord of Will would not actually descend.

Before the descent, Chen Yan would destroy the martial path terminal of that Will Martial Artist from Chen Prefecture.

Then he would say that the person's intentions were impure, their faith insufficient, and their will not firm enough.

This was Chen Yan's entire plan.

And for that Will Martial Artist from Chen Prefecture, Chen Yan already had a candidate in mind.

This was what Chen Yan had determined to be the faith-harvesting plan.

He needed to utilize resources from all sides to bring his own strength to its true peak.

Shen Yiwei's drunken words earlier had made Chen Yan realize one thing again.

That is, only when one's own strength is sufficiently powerful.

Can one solve all problems.

Old Shen was still in a state of shock, never imagining that the current upheaval in the world had been set in motion by his own drunken remark.

Sounds of uproar, shock, and weeping were now intertwined, spreading continuously.

Everything around was boiling.

The crowd's excitement and agitation were inevitable.

Xia Hanzhou appeared beside Chen Yan with a blank expression:

"You..."

Xia Hanzhou craned his neck, having no idea what Chen Yan was about to do.

The two flew into the high sky, and Chen Yan informed him of his thoughts.

Of course, he certainly didn't mention that he needed faith.

"You... you were plotting this from the very beginning?"

Xia Hanzhou looked astonished, his gaze toward Chen Yan changing again and again.

Holy crap?

Chen Yan, his mind is so meticulous!

He hadn't expected Chen Yan to think this far ahead.

"Mm." Chen Yan nodded, looking down at the Military Guards and others who were still cheering.

"If the Lord of Will cannot descend because the will power of that Will Martial Artist from Chen Prefecture is too weak,

the world will suspect Chen Prefecture, and they will also loathe Chen Prefecture."

Chen Yan said calmly.

True strength is not just one's own combat power.

In certain aspects, Chen Yan's strength was far superior to everyone else in the world.

Xia Hanzhou felt his scalp tingle as he listened.

Holy crap, you are so sinister.

It was fortunate that Chen Yan did not return to the Chen Clan.

Otherwise, he truly didn't know what hope Great Xia would have left.

It was fortunate that Shen Keqing had contacted him at the time, allowing him to know of Chen Yan and to witness that moment when Chen Yan pioneered the martial path.

"What do you plan to do next?" Xia Hanzhou asked.

"What do you need me to do?"

He was somewhat eager to try, looking at the Military Guards below, a smile appearing in his eyes.

If there were truly a way to allow Great Xia to gain an advantage in another aspect.

Then this million-strong army would also suffer fewer casualties.

Who isn't born of a mother and father?

Great Xia does not want to be an aggressor; Great Xia was forced to such a degree that it had to strike first.

If they waited for the Five Clans Conflict to end, and the intact Five Clans launched a war against Great Xia.

What advantage would Great Xia have then?

Xia Qi's original idea was to take advantage of the Five Clans Conflict, when the Five Clans' Creation Realm experts would not participate, for Great Xia to further engage in a bloody battle with the Five Clans.

But because of Chen Yan's appearance, Xia Qi's plan changed completely.

"I will return to Great Xia and, before the eyes of the world, wait for the will of the Lord of Will to descend."

Chen Yan spoke:

"Great Xia also needs to spread the news that the Lord of Will is about to descend."

Xia Hanzhou was somewhat stunned.

Then he immediately understood.

When everyone thought Chen Yan would inherit a sliver of the Lord of Will's will, and when everyone was convinced that the world's problem was Great Xia.

The Lord of Will was telling the world that he would descend upon a Will Martial Artist in Chen Prefecture.

At that time, the entire world would be shocked.

The problem is Chen Prefecture, not Great Xia.

Then...

"A brilliant move!" Xia Hanzhou exclaimed, clicking his tongue repeatedly as he looked at Chen Yan.

He looked at Chen Yan with a sigh.

Chen Yan's progress was too fast, and his growth was also too fast.

"King Xia Yue," Chen Yan said.

"Yes, go ahead," Xia Hanzhou nodded.

He actually wanted Chen Yan to call him 'Little Xia' directly; if his age hadn't forbidden it, he would have truly recognized him as an older brother.

"I want to split off a part of my Will Divine Body. After I return to Great Xia, I need to cultivate myself and prepare to enter the Five Clans Conflict.

Can you help me cover for it?"

Chen Yan said.

"You split it off first, let me see."

Xia Hanzhou stroked his chin.

Chen Yan nodded, and wisps of golden-red flames emerged from his body, manifesting into a phantom of himself beside him.

"The Will Divine Body can control the physical body, or it can walk independently," Chen Yan said quietly.

Xia Hanzhou watched in astonishment, then nodded:

"I will go find a physical body for you and change it to look like you."

"Mm."

"That," Xia Hanzhou hesitated:

"Do you think I can enter the Will Martial Dao?"

"Of course you can," Chen Yan smiled.

"Really? How do I enter?" Xia Hanzhou asked hurriedly.

"Go find a Seventh-Order Malice Crystal, then devour the malice; if you don't die, you will definitely be able to enter," Chen Yan pondered; Xia Hanzhou needed strong medicine.

He could feel that Xia Hanzhou's will was not very strong.

Xia Hanzhou was speechless, then laughed out loud:

"I'll give it a try."

He pursed his lips, still intending in his heart that it was better not to enter the Will Martial Dao for the time being.

Chen Yan saw through Xia Hanzhou's emotions.

Time passed slowly, and the matter continued to ferment.

"The Lord of Will is about to descend! His sliver of will will only appear for an instant, but that instant can annihilate the Ancient Gods about to awaken!"

"Heavens, what kind of great power is this!"

"His sliver of consciousness can cross the river of time and annihilate the disasters of our human world!"

"Unimaginably powerful!"

"Our human world is saved!"

"What kind of realm is that? I fear that even using 'realm' to describe Him would be disrespectful."

"That must be a powerful existence that has already transcended the secular and transcended the foundations of the Martial Dao!"

Countless people had shocked expressions, filled with fanatical worship.

The Ancient Gods who had caused the human world to suffer for ten thousand years would actually be annihilated in an instant by a sliver of the Lord of Will's consciousness.

Such news caused the human world to tremble!

The Lord of Will is invincible, peerless throughout the myriad universes.

Just like that, such thoughts were passed on.

The Five Clans.

The masters of the Five Clans each felt incredibly conflicted.

Yesterday, the Clan Master of Ji insisted on going to war with the Great Xia, but now, the war she spoke of seemed more like a joke.

The Master of Will is about to arrive.

Such an event can overshadow everything else in the human world.

At this moment, these supreme beings of the world seemed to have chosen silence by unspoken consensus.

They are waiting for news.

The thoughts in their hearts were complex to the extreme.

Moshan Pass.

"Immortal!"

"Immortal!"

"Immortal!"

A handsome young man in red robes stepped through the void amidst the cheers.

Ripples in the void rose beneath Chen Yan's feet as he gradually arrived before Xia Hanzhou.

Below, all the Military Guards watched with awe.

"The Master of Will is about to descend; there is only a fleeting moment of opportunity. Chen Yan needs to return to the Great Xia and wait quietly for the timing.

Aside from him, there is no one else who can bear the descent of the Master of Will."

Xia Hanzhou spoke indifferently.

The voice carried out, reaching even the Clan Master of Ji at the edge of Ji Province.

Below,

San Jin, Shen Yiwei, and the others all watched nervously.

Chen Yu crossed her arms and thought to herself:

"Teacher, my brother shouldn't be in any danger, right?"

Chen Yu looked up at her older brother, her heart pounding violently at this moment.

Her brother is going to wait for the descent of the Master of Will; will there be any problems?

She did not know.

"I don't know either," Ji Yannan said tremblingly:

"Such an existence is truly..."

She gasped heavily:

"Unimaginable."

Outside Moshan Pass.

Lu Jianxia, dressed in golden robes, gazed quietly in the direction of Chuli Pass.

Beside her were many other experts from Ji Province.

"Chen Yan..."

Lu Jianxia parted her red lips slightly:

"If it is true, if everything can be resolved."

She murmured somewhat infatuatedly, worry and longing inevitably appearing in her eyes.

High in the sky, Chen Yan waved one hand:

"Xiaoyu, come back with me."

Chen Yu's expression shifted; she nodded obediently and flew to Chen Yan's side.

"Chen... Yan, I... I want to go back too."

San Jin, wearing white battle armor, gazed at him and spoke.

"San Jin." Chen Yan smiled as he looked at San Jin:

"I will return."

"Mm... mm." San Jin nodded with some reluctance.

The next moment.

Xia Hanzhou pointed a finger, and arc-shaped spatial ripples spread out, instantly manifesting a teleportation array.

Chen Yan held Chen Yu's hand and walked into the teleportation array.

Of course.

This was a dummy body composed of a portion of Chen Yan's Immortal Will.

The real Chen Yan had already entered an independent training room within Moshan Pass and begun to cultivate.

Having the Divine Body of Will divided into two parts was a strange sensation.

Chen Yan could share what that Divine Body of Will saw and heard.

"It can also be considered..."

In the spacious training room, Chen Yan murmured:

"Returning to my hometown to take a look."

【Break: 19/100】

The progress of the 【Break】 character's Saint-Breaking Fruit had risen to nineteen percent.

This is the impact that the Master of Will's impending destruction of the Ancient Gods has brought to the world.

And this was only after one night of fermentation.
