Chapter 567: Asking about the state of the world, who can dominate the rise and fall?

Chen Yitong's hand was still resting on the doorknob, her eyes trembling at this moment as she pondered what to do next.

Should she take action directly, or wait for Ji Chuxi and those few others to join her?

Chen Yan was definitely severely injured.

Even though she couldn't perceive any aura at all from Chen Yan's body.

It was impossible to determine just how severe Chen Yan's injuries were.

Perhaps it was due to that piece of clothing, or perhaps because Chen Yan himself practiced some martial art that concealed his aura.

But the malice within the room was almost suffocating.

Chen Yan had definitely been subjected to a malicious attack.

Where did the ancient divine beast come from?

She did not know.

But if Chen Yan relied on his Immortal Will to rapidly repair his physical body, then what might be left for them afterward would be a terrifying enemy.

The sooner she took action against Chen Yan, the more advantageous it would be for her!

But what if Chen Yan was faking it?

Cold sweat dripped down Chen Yitong's forehead; the decision she was making now was almost a choice between life and death.

Creak.

The room door was opened.

Chen Yitong walked slowly into the room and looked once more at Chen Yan, who was sitting on the floor.

"Senior Chen Yitong."

Chen Yan looked at Chen Yitong and suddenly smiled:

"I just happened to have something I forgot to tell you."

Chen Yitong was still sizing Chen Yan up, and she said with a beaming smile:

"What is it?" Chen Yitong's voice carried a natural allure, as if it could stir up the most fundamental desires in a person's heart.

"Senior Chen Yitong, I actually only just arrived, but I seem to have sensed Chen Yan's location."

Chen Yitong's brows lifted slightly; she had never guessed that Chen Yan would actually say such a thing, and her expression shifted:

"Impossible, how could Chen Yan have entered the Five Clans Conflict?"

"I truly saw him," Chen Yan spoke:

"Right here inside this castle!"

Chen Yitong's gaze trembled instantly, and she looked at Chen Yan in disbelief.

What was Chen Yan trying to do?

Claiming that he himself was inside the Backfire Castle?

"In... in which room?

You sensed him, so why didn't he kill you?" Chen Yitong's heart pounded, and she narrowed her eyes as she looked at Chen Yan.

This was Chen Yan; being able to enter the Five Clans Conflict, perhaps he was an existence whose combat power was on par with her own.

Even though she had already prepared herself to take action against Chen Yan, she was still worried.

This was the shared sense of wariness that the Five Clans martial artists held toward Chen Yan.

One wrong step, and every subsequent step would be wrong.

Chen Yan was a venomous snake, an extremely fast and powerful venomous snake.

Take one wrong step, and one would be killed by him.

She regretted it a little; she shouldn't have entered the room again directly.

She had been a bit too excited just now, but had overlooked Chen Yan's danger.

To take action against Chen Yan, she should have called those few people to join her.

Checking the aura on Chen Yan's body once more, Chen Yitong's heart sank.

She couldn't sense anything at all, nor could she see—

"Right in the servant's room of the castle behind this one," Chen Yan said, pointing to the floor beneath him.

Relying on his observation of Ji Chuxi through the tips of his meridians, Chen Yan already knew he was on the third floor of a castle.

And the scope that these people had been searching was initially limited to this castle alone.

Chen Yan's expression was grave:

"I truly saw Chen Yan, but he seems to be severely injured, his aura is extremely low!

That's why he didn't notice my presence.

But he is Chen Yan, he possesses the Immortal Body, perhaps he will recover rapidly."

Chen Yitong's expression was grave, and in her heart, there was a sound like thunder rumbling.

Wasn't what Chen Yan was saying exactly what she had analyzed?

What was he trying to do?

Chen Yitong's heart beat violently.

"Senior Chen Yitong!" Chen Yan said earnestly.

"You... you speak!" Chen Yitong narrowed her eyes.

"Go find people!" Chen Yan said in a low shout:

"Bring all the Creation Realm experts you can find nearby, it would be best if you can find top-tier Creation Realm experts like Chen Mi and Chi Xue!

Surround and kill Chen Yan!"

Chen Yitong's heart trembled:

"Since he is heavily injured, why don't we go directly to surround and kill him?"

"He is Chen Yan, do not disturb him!" Chen Yan spoke up:

"He possesses an Immortal Will; he can rapidly repair his physical body. He suffered the erosion of an Eighth-Order Malice Crystal, yet nothing happened to him!"

Chen Yan's voice echoed, making Chen Yitong feel a tingling sensation at the top of her head.

What is Chen Yan trying to do?

Let her go and bring more people of the Five Clans?

Does he intend to take action to exterminate those people?

Chen Yitong nodded and left the room.

For a moment, she was actually unable to discern Chen Yan's purpose.

Soon, she went directly to find Ji Chuxi and the others.

The entire castle was not large, and there were some of the castle's own personnel: maids, manservants, and some patrolling guards.

Those living inside the castle were all Seventh-Order Ancient Divine Beasts that looked no different from the human race.

But they all showed smiles toward Ji Chuxi and the others, showing no hostility whatsoever.

Inside the stone room.

Ji Chuxi and the others frowned; they were still searching for information regarding the entire castle, but were called back to the room by Chen Yitong.

"What's wrong?"

Ji Chuxi asked.

"Chen Yan is here." Chen Yitong spoke with a grave expression, and in an instant, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Soon, Chen Yitong recounted the content of her conversation with Chen Yan.

"He actually wants us to find the remaining Creation Realms? Does he intend to exterminate us all with his own strength?" Ji Chuxi's expression turned extremely ugly:

"Even a puppet with forty times the combat power could be defeated; what kind of combat power does he possess now?"

The Chizhou Creation Realm also looked at Chen Yitong with a cold expression:

"Senior Chen was right not to take action. If Chen Yan were to realize that you already know his identity, I fear he would erupt directly and exterminate us all!"

Chen Yitong's face turned slightly pale.

Chen Yan was too greedy; he wanted them to find more Five Clans Creation Realms so he could exterminate them all together?

She felt a lingering fear.

"You have been deceived!"

The Yu Clan Creation Realm, who had not spoken until now, barked out; his entire body was encased in battle armor, making him look more like a futuristic robot.

Everyone looked at the Yu Clan Creation Realm, each of them frowning.

The Yu Clan Creation Realm barked out:

"The things he said have too many loopholes. He is clearly stalling for time. I do not know why he suffered the malice injury.

But the malice in the room is so thick, yet you, Chen Yitong, didn't mention it, and he didn't mention it either. Don't you think you were bluffed by him?

Stupid!"

Chen Yitong's expression was ugly:

"You say I am stupid?!"

"Stupid!" the Yu Clan Creation Realm roared:

"Do you know how my Yu Clan's computer evaluates Chen Yan?

Facing him, you need to fight him with the heart of someone prepared to die.

You need to disregard everything to exterminate every possibility of him!"

Inside the stone room, everyone's expression trembled.

Chen Yitong, however, said coldly:

"Tell me what you intend to do. I am a late-stage Creation Realm, you are only..."

As Chen Yitong was speaking, her expression changed instantly.

Ji Chuxi and that Chizhou Creation Realm looked as if they had seen a ghost!

Crack, crack, crack!!!

They saw the battle armor on the Yu Clan Creation Realm split open neatly, and blood gushed out like a surging waterfall.

"The Great Era is upon us!

Someone must make a sacrifice, give everything, disregard life and death, and step forward!"

The Yu Clan Creation Realm roared toward the sky, his voice like thunder:

"Remember, my name is Yu Shi Huan!

With my flesh and blood, I shall exterminate Chen Yan for the future generations!

You lot, do not hold me back!"

Crack, crack, crack!!!

The battle armor shattered; amidst flashing electric light, the internal organs were separated, the neural pathways were altered, and the Yu Clan Creation Realm's physical body was sliced into tens of thousands of pieces.

Each piece of flesh and blood was tightly wrapped by a cubic battle armor structure, with electric arcs flowing over them and complex array patterns.

Ji Chuxi and Chen Yitong were stunned, standing frozen on the spot, their eyes filled with extreme shock. At this very instant, the Yu Clan Creation Realm breathed his last and died!

He used his own physical body as an energy source, and the battle armor manufactured him into tens of thousands of terrifyingly powerful explosive array disks.

The tens of thousands of explosive array disks floated slowly, and a thick, pungent smell of blood still permeated the space.

"Executing Yu Shi Huan's final command..." an electronic female voice sounded from the explosive array disks.

"Command level: God Armor."

Arcs of electricity emerged upon each of the explosive formation disks, connecting to one another.

"Simulating combat methods..."

"One thousand and fifty-five simulations completed..."

"Three thousand seven hundred and twenty-one simulations completed..."

"Probability of killing Chen Yan: sixty-five percent."

Chen Yitong slowly closed her eyes, and the next moment, the allure on her face vanished completely as she bowed to the explosive formation disks.

"Safe travels, Senior!" Ji Chuxi said with a solemn expression, clenching her fists.

"It is all for... the future." The Creation Realm expert of the Chi Prefecture spoke with difficulty, also bowing.

Chen Yitong took a deep breath:

"Ji Chuxi, your combat strength is the lowest; leave Backfire Castle and go inform the Five Clans that Chen Yan has entered the Five Clans Dispute and that he is here.

Let more people come to hunt down Chen Yan!"

Ji Chuxi's expression trembled:

"Then, Senior, you..."

Chen Yitong's expression was cold and stern, and she cursed with a bitter laugh:

"My luck is rotten; I just wanted to reach the Eighth Rank, but I had to get saddled with this matter. This Yu Clan is using moral kidnapping on me!"

She gritted her teeth, and the next moment, a sinister and resolute look appeared in her eyes:

"I will attack and kill Chen Yan together with Chi Xuanxun to prevent him from repairing his physical body. It is best if we can kill Chen Yan, but if we cannot, there is still you."

Ji Chuxi nodded, looking extremely serious, and bowed:

"If the Great Xia does not perish, the world will surely fall.

Whether it is Lu Xunyang or Chen Yan, both are acting against the natural order.

Even if they are brilliant and talented, even if they dominate an era, they are still persecuting the future of our Five Clans!

The three seniors are acting for the greater good; I, Ji Chuxi, will assist you all in your triumphant return to execute the traitor Chen!"

…………

Inside the stone house.

Chen Yan's expression was calm, yet he let out a long sigh.

Now, his injuries were so severe that he could not possibly defeat Chen Yitong, let alone the fact that the Yu Clan Creation Realm expert had prepared such an explosive set meal for him.

A smile appeared at the corners of Chen Yan's mouth.

He was laughing.

"The world is not lacking in heroes; the world does not consist only of me, Chen Yan. Every single person possesses a world of their own!

Even someone like me, as I am now, has things to worry about!"

He laughed brilliantly.

If his enemies were all a group of incompetent, cowardly people,

even if he, Chen Yan, achieved invincibility, it would have...

"No meaning at all!"

Chen Yan's eyes were bright; his enemies had faith.

His enemies were willing to sacrifice their own lives to exterminate him, the great traitor blocking the future of the Five Clans.

A great traitor?

A Master of Will is also a great traitor!

Chen Yan's smile faded, and his gaze gradually turned cold and stern.

In the grand scheme of the world, who truly decides the rise and fall?

But what should be done now?

Chen Yan was truly trapped in a dead end.

…………

In the corridor.

The Creation Realm expert of the Chi Prefecture and Chen Yitong floated slowly; before them, ten thousand explosive formation disks were controlled by an electric net, having already formed a strangulation formation.

Ji Chuxi had already left Backfire Castle, while they flew slowly toward the room where Chen Yan was located.

Hold your breath!

No one is willing to let their life become meaningless.

Since they were to exterminate Chen Yan, they needed to be extremely careful and needed to give everything!

Chen Yitong's eyes grew colder and more chilling.

Suddenly.

A creak.

The wooden door was opened.

At the end of the corridor,

a slender figure stepped out slowly. He was tall and well-built, his entire body wrapped in pitch-black battle armor, making it impossible to see his face.

Tap, tap...

Where his combat boots stepped, crisp clashing sounds rang out.

The armor flowed with dark golden demonic patterns, each line devouring light, and as the pitch-black gauntlets swept through the void, they left a trail of black light.

Heavenly God Armor!

The God-General Armor forged by Chen Yan for the eighteen prefectures of Great Xia!

The moment it appeared, all the light in the entire corridor seemed to be absorbed by this Divine Armor; just by looking at it, Chen Yitong felt a terrifying sense of oppression wash over her.

Chen Yitong and the Chizhou Creation Realm expert's hearts were pounding violently, their mouths agape.

They had not expected that Chen Yan would actually bring the Divine Armor into the Five Clans Struggle!

That's cheating!

In an instant, terror welled up in their hearts.

"Recalculating combat mode, calculating..."

An electronic female voice rang out.

The next moment.

Tens of thousands of explosive formation disks flew out.

"Charge!" Chen Yitong shouted in a low voice, attacking at the same time as the Chizhou Creation Realm expert.

The next moment.

Boom!

The figure in the Divine Armor suddenly fled, turning into a streak of light that smashed through the window and flew into the vast sky.

"He's bluffing!" Chen Yitong screamed, and the next moment, she gave direct chase.

Yet at this very moment.

Chen Yan, still in flight, produced a peak seventh-order Malice Crystal in his hand.

And then...

He crushed a portion of it.

Boom!

A terrifying malice instantly diffused outward, immediately slowing Chen Yitong and her companion by a fraction.

"Damn it!" Chen Yitong growled.

Above the vast earth.

An abyss stretching from east to west appeared before Chen Yan, who was wearing the Divine Armor, and the next moment, he dove directly into it.

"The malice in here is too intense!" The Chizhou Creation Realm expert said with an ugly expression, scanning the abyss below.

"Pursue!"

Chen Yitong shouted in a low voice:

"Keep chasing! He is heavily injured; as long as we keep pressing him, he won't have time to repair his physical body!

Furthermore, his speed is not fast, it is very slow. As soon as he exhausts that Malice Crystal, we will finish him off!"

The Chizhou Creation Realm expert nodded.

Immediately, the two of them, along with the tens of thousands of explosive formation disks behind them, charged into the abyss.

At the same time.

Inside the Backfire Castle.

Soon, a beautiful maid brought brand-new glass to the corridor, replacing the glass that had just been shattered.

She was about to leave when she rolled up her sleeve and glanced at the watch on her wrist.

"Oh, right."

The maid gestured with her finger in front of her, then walked quickly downstairs, and when she appeared in the corridor again, she was carrying an exquisite bronze tray in her hands.

On the tray sat a glazed, fire-colored crystal.

She walked gracefully into a room and knocked on the door.

Creak.

Chen Yan, with a pale complexion, opened the door.
