Chapter 573: Invincible Divine Armor, A Bloody Battle on One Side!

Boom—!

A terrifying explosion resounded within the castle, and streaks of fire shattered the windows of the entire castle, sweeping outward.

The Shadow, utilizing the Ember-Memory Spear, instantly unleashed the Profound-grade 【Blood Domain World-Reversal】, triggering those thousands of explosive formation disks to detonate simultaneously.

This terrifying explosive force scorched the entire castle a deep red.

But the material of the castle was clearly extremely special; even though all the windows were shattered, it suffered no damage at all.

Borrowing the force of the incoming shockwaves, Chen Yan's body retreated rapidly.

Suddenly, Lu Cunyang's chest burst open, and a sky-drenching amount of blood sprayed out, transforming into a blood lion the moment it splashed toward Chen Yan.

Chen Yan's retreating body turned sideways, his right arm swung, and his right fist struck behind him; the massive force drove the blood from his entire arm into his right hand, and in an instant, his veins bulged.

Crack-crack-crack-crack!!!

The void stagnated, shattered, and fell like broken jade.

【Crushing Jade Style】!

The blood lion was struck by this force and instantly turned into a mist of blood; under the impact of the surging force, Lu Cunyang was slammed directly to the ground.

He knelt half-way on the ground, one of his eyes already burst, covered in blood, his head hanging low, blood continuously pouring from his mouth.

His life was rapidly fading; he couldn't even support his own body and collapsed sideways onto the ground.

Bang.

Chen Yan appeared before him.

Pfft!

Lu Cunyang spat out another mouthful of blood, his eyes losing their luster:

"Bing Yi, Bing Yi..."

He murmured, and the image of a woman dressed in golden clothes appeared in his mind:

"She must have known, she must have known, why didn't she tell me..."

He had lost, not to Chen Yan, but to Bing Yi.

In fact, had he known in advance that Chen Yan was Bing Yi, it would not have come to this.

He had not considered that in front of Bing Yi, who possessed Ice Qi and blood, Chen Yitong's ice-attribute offensive power would be greatly diminished.

He also hadn't calculated that Chen Yan still had three Qi-blood Shadows.

Until the end of his life, he felt no hatred for Chen Yan, nor fear of death, but was incomparably disappointed in his former disciple.

His vision was gradually shrouded in darkness, and everything his eyes saw became increasingly dark, yet he did not want to die just like this.

He wanted to see Chen Yan die, wanted to see the already heavily injured Chen Yan die at the hands of those Ancient God Beasts of the Counter-Fire Castle that had been waiting long enough.

Until the next instant.

Caw!!!

Within Lu Cunyang's line of sight, the Castle Master's head, which had expanded a thousand times over, appeared above Chen Yan's head.

A pitch-black mass.

A giant mouth filled with thousands of sharp teeth was already aimed at Chen Yan's head.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Cunyang's mouth.

This was fine too. Let the most powerful prodigy in history, the youngest Divine General in the history of the Great Xia, die just like this in the mouth of an Ancient God Beast.

Just die like this.

Die together with him, Lu Cunyang.

But the next instant.

Bang.

Caw!

The Castle Master let out a shrill shriek, dozens of teeth shattering because they had bitten into something extremely hard.

Lu Cunyang's eyes widened instantly.

He saw streaks of flowing light flying out from the burning castle, accompanied by the clanging sound of metal colliding.

Piece by piece, block by block, jet-black battle armor, linked by pitch-black wild thunder, appeared on Chen Yan's body just like that.

Crack!

The Ten Thousand Prisons Nether Thunder hissed, sweeping outward crazily as if it had suffered a great grievance.

Clang-clang-clang-clang!

Sparks flew everywhere!

Under the Castle Master's shrill shrieking, under Lu Cunyang's disbelieving gaze.

Pieces of pitch-black armor plating, as if they had a life of their own, nimbly and rapidly assembled and connected, covering Chen Yan's body in sequence: arms, waist, abdomen, legs...

"You didn't die in vain at all."

A cold voice rang out; Chen Yan slowly rose into the air, golden-red flames spreading out, illuminating the entire Counter-Fire Castle.

He looked down at the dying Lu Cunyang:

"Do not wrap your disgusting selfishness in fearlessness; at least be decent about it."

His voice descended like an imperial decree, carrying immense majesty, negating all of Lu Cunyang's value, all his reasons, and all his faith.

Lu Cunyang opened his mouth wide, his eyes full of unwillingness.

But he could not speak, just looking at Chen Yan like this.

Bang!

As the final piece of leg armor locked into place, a low and resonant humming sound rang out.

Caw!

All around, within the entire Counter-Fire Castle, frantic roars resounded.

A terrifying aura erupted from Chen Yan.

Hum!

Streaks of blood-red color diffused across the Heavenly God Armor, and immediately after, all of Chen Yan's aura became incomparably ferocious.

Hum, hum, hum!!!

A pressure originating from a Divine General descended; at this moment, Chen Yan looked like a blood beast devouring the heavens and earth, glaring in rage at the world, glaring in rage at Lu Cunyang.

"Ah..."

Lu Cunyang let out a roar of unwillingness.

Only now did he react.

That shadow had appeared, detonating those thousands of explosive formation disks, shattering all the sealing formation disks that had been suppressing the divine armor.

Every one of his steps had been within Chen Yan's calculations.

How, exactly, was all of this achieved?

How is it possible?

At this moment, the Ancient God Beasts within the entire Counter-Fire Castle were also watching in horror; they had all been prepared to enjoy a delicious meal, never expecting to encounter such a change.

Within their line of sight, that incomparably arrogant human raised his head, the long spear in his hand pointing at them.

"I, Chen Yan, bestow death upon you all today!"

With a boom!

Terrifying blood-red color exploded outward.

Chen Yan's physical body trembled, and powerful bursts of force exploded outward accompanied by vibrations.

Powerful, powerful!

This is the power of the Heavenly God Armor!

Heavenly God Armor 【Blood Battle State】, activate!

【Blood Battle State】:

Within three minutes, it can allow Chen Yan to ignore all attacks from the Creation Realm and below, and can also reduce the damage from attacks by Eighth-Rank martial artists against Chen Yan to ten percent.

And within these three minutes, Chen Yan's speed increases by two times, strength increases by two times, and blood-Qi combat power increases by two times.

The next instant.

Chen Yan raised his long spear and slashed down in an instant!

The long spear erupted with a river of blood, accompanied by an immortal will, connecting with a rolling spear-soul to suppress; the air was crushed and exploded, with continuous booming sounds!

With a boom.

The blood river suppressed and killed, striking the Castle Master's already incomparably bloated physical body.

Splash!

Pools of pitch-black viscous liquid exploded, and the Castle Master was directly cut in half at the waist by Chen Yan.

"Eat him!!!" the Castle Master shrieked.

The next moment.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Within the entire castle, the Guard Captain, the Scribe, and the Head Chef instantly surged up; their appearances changed, turning into black wolves with tentacles, turning into intertwined sausages, turning into giant black insects oozing viscous liquid.

In an instant.

Densely packed, strange creatures, accompanied by a suffocating stench and malice, lunged at Chen Yan.

But Chen Yan did not dodge; the moment the long spear was whipped out, rotating air vortices gathered on the spear shaft.

Boom!

Streaks of blood-red long rivers surged at the spear tip, and countless Other Shore Flowers bloomed completely.

They slashed right into the ancient beasts that were attacking.

Under the 【Blood Battle State】, Chen Yan could completely ignore all attacks from these Ancient God Beasts.

With one strike of the spear.

The wolf body transformed from the Guard Captain was cut into two segments, internal organs gushing out along with black blood.

"Castle Master, I won't eat anymore, you go eat him!"

The black wolf cried, roaring continuously.

"You stupid, disgusting trash, if everyone doesn't work hard, how can we eat something delicious!"

In the distance, the fat on the Castle Master's face trembled wildly; at this moment, he cursed loudly, glanced at the guards and maids beside him, and roared:

"Charge!!!"

Those guards and maids took deep breaths, kept taking deep breaths, and the next instant charged toward Chen Yan.

Clatter!

Chen Yan swept his long spear horizontally, and accompanied by the Guard Captain's 'Aiya' scream, swept its head until it exploded.

With a plop.

Strands of sausages suddenly launched a surprise attack from the ground; Chen Yan spun and leaped up, the spear tip stabbing straight down, lifting them into mid-air, then shaking them with force; the sausage monster shattered into several pieces, the splashed pulp covering the ground.

"Charge!"

"He is a demon!"

"Ahhhhh, charge together!"

One by one, the Ancient God Beasts roared as they charged into the battlefield, only to discover a terrifying fact immediately after.

That was, no matter how they bit and tore, not even a single mark was left on that pitch-black armor. At the beginning, Chen Yan would subconsciously dodge when facing the Ancient God Beasts' attacks, but later on, he didn't dodge at all.

It has no meaning.

His strength, speed, and blood-Qi have all doubled, and his personal combat power has reached an absolute peak.

When at Myriad Forms Island, Chen Yan could rely on the Ember-Memory Spear to battle a Dream Ancient God Beast at the peak of the Creation Realm.

At that time, the Dream Ancient God Beast needed to use the maximum amount of malice to suppress Chen Yan's Immortal Will.

He could not even exert half of his own combat power.

Not to mention now, inside the Reverse Fire Castle, where apart from the Castle Master, the rest are not at the peak of the Creation Realm.

Moreover, Chen Yan possesses the Heavenly God Armor; under the protection of the Heavenly God Armor, even eighth-rank malice cannot invade Chen Yan, let alone suppress Chen Yan's Immortal Will.

Bang, bang, bang.

Spear shadows were dense; one Ancient God Beast after another was shattered by Chen Yan, with pitch-black flesh and blood splattering in all directions.

Following Chen Yan's slaughter, the pungent smell of blood within the entire castle grew increasingly intense, and the ground was layered thick with severed limbs and filthy blood.

Chen Yan poured his Immortal Will into the Ember-Memory Spear; for a seventh-rank Ancient God Beast, Chen Yan's spear strikes were fatal.

With a splash.

A spear shadow beat the mountain of flesh that the butler had turned into into smithereens.

Chen Yan flew before the Castle Master in an instant.

The massive Castle Master actually knelt down directly at this moment, spilling a patch of foul-smelling saliva, and his entire body surged like the skin of a toad constantly boiling.

"Don't..." the Castle Master screamed.

With a boom.

Chen Yan thrust his spear out, piercing directly through the Castle Master's head.

The 【Blood Battle State】 had just expired; if the Castle Master had risen up to resist, it would have been quite dangerous given Chen Yan's current state.

Being a seventh-rank peak Ancient God Beast after all, it had lost from the very beginning.

The entire ground was a muddy mess, and Chen Yan sat down leaning against the wall.

He looked nearby; Lu Cunyuan's eyes were still wide open, but the last signs of life were gone, as if he were still staring at Chen Yan.

Drip, drop...

The flesh and blood stuck to the wall dripped down slowly.

The battle ended.

An inexplicable feeling emerged in the depths of Chen Yan's heart.

Chen Yan looked into his own space, where six halos were slowly floating; these were from before Chen Yan entered the Five Clans Struggle.

They were the Divine Spirits rewarded by the Purple Firmament World-Fixing Mirror for detecting the Martial Dao within everyone's bodies.

And Chen Yan originally could only have obtained five types: 【Horizontal】, 【Qi】, 【Origin】, 【Array】, and 【Will】.

But because of that purple light orb deep in Chen Yan's mind, Chen Yan obtained one more: 【Thought】.

This meant that Chen Yan practiced six Martial Daos, making him an all-rounder in the six paths.

Chen Yan had never known what these six Divine Spirits were actually for.

But after Chen Yan killed the Ancient God Beasts, these six Divine Spirits had clearly changed.

They had grown!

Or rather, they had stored more Divine Spirits.

【8085×6】

This number appeared in the depths of Chen Yan's mind.

This was the quantity of Divine Spirits obtained after Chen Yan slaughtered these Ancient God Beasts.

8085 represented the quantity of Divine Spirits that could originally be obtained from the Ancient God Beasts Chen Yan killed.

×6 represented that because Chen Yan was recognized by the Purple Firmament World-Fixing Mirror as cultivating six types of Martial Dao, his reward was multiplied by six!

Chen Yan observed the Martial Dao veins and learned the reward mechanism for Divine Spirits from Shen Yiwei.

Killing one early-stage Creation Realm Ancient God Beast rewards one point.

One mid-stage Creation Realm, fifty points.

One late-stage Creation Realm, five hundred points.

One peak Creation Realm, five thousand points.

And an eighth-rank Ancient God Beast...

Five hundred thousand!

Chen Yan glanced at the surrounding Ancient God Beast corpses.

One peak Creation Realm, four late-stage Creation Realm, twenty-one mid-stage Creation Realm, and thirty-five early-stage Creation Realm Ancient God Beasts.

His harvest for this day could be called enormous.
