Chapter 582: Huge Harvest!

"Heh..." Chi Xue sneered.

The next moment.

His physical body began to melt, beginning to turn into a part of the array patterns, carved onto Chen Yan's physical body.

Yu Cang watched in astonishment, watching in disbelief.

What was Chi Xue doing?

What was Chen Yan doing?

He... was going to die!

The next instant.

Rumble!!!

Terrifying firelight swallowed everything, and the void began to collapse.

"Ahhh!!!" The Lei Yu Ci Hun roared, wanting to escape, but was grabbed by a large hand.

Waves of shock blasted Ke Qingxuan and the others away.

When everyone gazed over.

Everything was melting, and magma spurted across the land for a hundred miles.

"Ha..." Chi Xue's physical body had already completely etherealized; looking at Chen Yan, whose body was covered in pitch-black secret scripts, he smiled:

"You finally came out; I acted so exhaustingly..."

Before the words fell, his body had already turned into drifting spatial dust.

Chen Yan's body was also covered in blood, and at this moment, he frowned at the secret scripts on his flesh.

On his chest, a pitch-black crystal was being embedded in the center of the secret scripts.

Was this Chi Xue's method?

A Sun-level Grade A poison array refined using a physical body as an energy source and an Eighth-Order Malice Crystal as the array eye.

That's right, a poison array.

The true threat was not the Malice Crystal, but the deadly poison within this array.

The opponent originally had other methods, but these methods were completely negated after Chi Xue discovered that Yu Cang would ruin things.

Then, he left such an ultimate method for Chen Yan.

Swish!

In an instant, a wild surge of malice erupted from Chen Yan's physical body.

A crazily rotating tornado of malice caused the firmament to collapse, completely decaying and devouring everything on the earth.

"Chen Yan!!!"

Ke Qingxuan screamed and flew toward the tornado of malice; the next instant, she was blasted away by a force unleashed from inside the tornado.

"Get lost!"

Chen Yan roared, filled with fury.

"Ahhhhh, let me go!!!"

In Chen Yan's hand, the Lei Yu Ci Hun he was holding tightly screamed; it had suffered the most terrifying malicious attack.

The next instant.

The tornado of malice dissipated, and Chen Yan's body fell.

Clatter!

The Heavenly God Armor completely broke free from the array-pattern chains that had bound it and wrapped around Chen Yan.

The next instant.

Bang!

Chen Yan stood upon the earth.

"Chen Yan..." Ke Qingxuan arrived with the white-haired old man and the middle-aged man; at this moment, Ke Qingxuan's eyes were completely bloodshot:

"Are you okay?"

The God Armor shook its head slightly, and Ke Qingxuan's body trembled.

The God Armor waved its hand; in its hand, it still clutched the desperately struggling Lei Yu Ci Hun.

"You're finished!" The Lei Yu Ci Hun had been caught in the previous explosion and now roared:

"I saw with my own eyes that you were eroded by the Eighth-Order Malice Crystal; you're finished!!!"

"Hahaha!!!"

With a boom.

The God Armor escaped directly into the earth.

The Lei Yu Ci Hun was still laughing wildly and screeching; Chen Yan only had one breath left.

He would lose control of it immediately.

In a moment, it would be able to erupt and kill everyone completely.

Yet, at this very moment.

With a bang.

A large golden-red hand grabbed the Lei Yu Ci Hun; it was a divine body identical to Chen Yan, constructed entirely from the power of will.

"You!" The Lei Yu Ci Hun shrieked.

Hum!

The Will Divine Body bloomed with endless, brilliant light of will, intending to completely grind away the consciousness of the Lei Yu Ci Hun.

Crack!

The Myriad Prison Nether Thunder appeared, instantly erupting into streaks of lightning plasma that pierced into the Lei Yu Ci Hun, beginning to devour it.

"Ah, no, no!!!"

The Lei Yu Ci Hun shrieked, and all the lightning elements on its body began to be swallowed by the Myriad Prison Nether Thunder.

The Lei Yu Ci Hun looked at the Myriad Prison Nether Thunder:

"You found a good master; you're quite happy being a dog, aren't you!"

Crack!

The Myriad Prison Nether Thunder was enraged, directly swallowing half of the Lei Yu Ci Hun's physical body.

The Myriad Prison Nether Thunder's grade was rising rapidly.

In almost an instant, it reached Sun-Radiance Grade, Third Class.

Immediately following, Second Class!

The next moment.

Swish, swish...

The Lei Yu Ci Hun's abdomen dissolved, and pieces of Counter-Fire Crystal, crystalline structures resembling a honeycomb, fell out.

Chen Yan tossed them to the Myriad Prison Nether Thunder; these would be the massive resources for its rise.

Chi Xue had indeed prepared many methods for him.

Until the very last moment, Chi Xue even directly sacrificed this physical body of his own to bring a true crisis to Chen Yan.

Indeed, the physical body of Chen Yan inside the Divine Armor was already dead.

This was mainly because the power of will left within the original body was not much, insufficient to fully contend with so much malice.

"It has disappointed me, though." The Will Divine Body slowly shook its head.

The reason he had separated the Will Divine Body from the original body was because he had sensed Chi Xue's emotions and knew the other party felt almost certain of victory.

Therefore, the backup plan Chen Yan had given himself was that he could die once.

As long as Chen Yan's will did not perish, Chen Yan would not truly die.

But this method Chi Xue had prepared for Chen Yan...

"It really wasn't enough to make me die."

Chen Yan murmured, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

To the side, the Myriad Prison Nether Thunder's devouring had also ended.

The aura on its body was incomparably violent, having impressively reached Sun-Radiance Grade, First Class.

"I will make you the number one on the Spirit Item Ranking." Chen Yan glanced at the Myriad Prison Nether Thunder.

Sizzle, sizzle!

The Myriad Prison Nether Thunder spat out a lightning snake, expressing something to Chen Yan.

"Not for now; my physical body is dead, so I cannot extract the lightning elements within your body," Chen Yan said indifferently.

Soon, the Will Divine Body entered the Divine Armor, went above, and began issuing orders to Ke Qingxuan and the others.

The war here had already ended; what remained was to seize the resources.

The corpses of Yu Cang and Chi Xue had both exploded into pieces, but the rows of laser turrets left behind by Yu Cang were an incredibly rich resource.

The middle-aged man and the white-haired old man saw that Chen Yan was still so full of life, and both were completely stunned.

They had thought Chen Yan had encountered a true death crisis.

As it turned out, nothing had happened at all.

This...

Ke Qingxuan was also filled with lingering fear; after taking a deep look at Chen Yan, she went to find those lightning snake turrets.

Soon, everyone returned to Counter-Fire Castle.

It was already night.

Inside Counter-Fire Castle.

A man named Zhang Chao glanced at the maid who had been monitoring him and let out a low growl.

"Tell me, where exactly is Chen Yan?"

The maid just stood against the wall, raised her head, and ignored Zhang Chao entirely.

Zhang Chao could see that Chen Yan had used some unknown method to make this Ancient Divine Beast his own product.

But he was currently extremely anxious.

After all, in two days, Chen Yan would be fighting the Thousand-Face Corridor.

Within the Domain War, he could not help Chen Yan with anything.

Zhang Chao rubbed his brow, feeling quite irritable.

"On Qi Fan's side, he still needs to keep watching Chi Xue; on Chen Yan's side, it's even less peaceful.

This struggle of the five clans..."

He gave a bitter smile; was the decision made by the late Sovereign really good?

For Great Xia to participate in the struggle of the five clans, it was clear that a series of bitter battles were about to unfold.

He still remembered the words Qi Fan had transmitted to him when he told him to leave.

That was, the files on this person Chi Xue showed that the other party was an extremely dangerous individual.

And such an existence was only ranked seventh on the Creation Realm Ranking.

Whether Qi Fan could suppress the other party was very hard to say.

The best path for the Great Xia Creation Realm now was to find Xia Long, unify all combat power, and then gradually dismantle the five clans.

Qi Fan had originally held this idea as well, to have Zhang Chao take Chen Yan and leave to find Xia Long.

But the problem is, Chen Yan must now wage a domain war and cannot leave.

"This is really going to worry me to death." Zhang Chao pulled out strands of hair:

"You tell me, you tell me, why does he insist on launching a domain war?"

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

It was too quiet!

It seemed that from just a moment ago, all the rustling of the wind and grass around him had vanished.

Zhang Chao stood up slowly, his eyes wide, and his perception began to spread out.

The next moment.

Boom—he rushed out of the window.

Caw!!!

A giant human face appeared above his head, then a black wolf appeared to his right, and a mountain of flesh beneath him suddenly surged over like a tide.

Zhang Chao's heart beat violently; he had actually already been surrounded.

Hum—!

A terrifying spear soul had already swept over from high above the sky.

"Kill!!!" Zhang Chao roared. He knew that he had to fight to the death now; he had to give everything and then escape, otherwise he would absolutely die!

The next instant.

Everything suddenly came to a standstill.

The ancient divine beasts that had already erupted suddenly moved away, and even the incoming spear soul was retracted.

A figure wearing pitch-black divine armor stepped through the void and arrived.

"Zhang Chao?"

Zhang Chao's pupils shrank wildly. At this moment, his entire heart was beating violently. He opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something, but immediately said:

"Yes!"

"Are you a cultivator of..."

"I am a cultivator of the three paths of array discs, blood energy, and true intent!" Zhang Chao said hurriedly.

He did not know why he had answered this way.

After all, he was over three hundred years old, while the youth inside that divine armor was only eighteen.

But the moment the other party arrived, that powerful aura and the three words "Heavenly God General" made Zhang Chao unable to say anything else.

"Cultivating array discs, that's not bad. Do you understand machinery?" The clear voice sounded again.

"I do!" Zhang Chao nodded.

"That's good. There are many Yu Clan monitors outside the Backfire Castle. Go and check them to see if they can be used.

These Backfire soldier remains will listen to you for the time being."

The clear male voice came from within the divine armor.

Zhang Chao's expression trembled. He glanced at the ancient divine beasts that had almost surrounded and killed him just now. Just as he was about to speak, the man said again:

"Later, Ke Qingxuan and the others will bring back fifteen Yu Clan laser turrets. See if you can modify them so that the Yu Clan loses control over them."

Zhang Chao was stunned.

He felt he had misheard.

What the hell?

Fifteen laser turrets?

"Also." The man in the divine armor changed the subject, and Zhang Chao's expression instantly became tense.

"I just attacked the Magnetic Storm Thunder Prison and seized quite a lot of resources. There are also some thunder-ball creature embryos inside the Lei Yu Ci Hun.

I want to use these to build another Magnetic Storm Thunder Prison."

Zhang Chao was bewildered. Although he understood the words the person inside the divine armor was saying, he did not understand them when they were connected together.

What on earth was all this?

"It can help you." The man in the divine armor waved one hand, and a thunder spirit appeared.

The pressure from a divine seed spilled out, and Zhang Chao went completely numb.

Just as he wanted to say something, the person had already turned and gone into the castle.

"We are going to attack the Thousand-Face Corridor in two days. It is best not to carry it these two days."

The cold voice came.

Zhang Chao's mouth was slightly agape, and the next instant he shouted directly:

"Yes!"

…………

Chen Yan and the Castle Master walked into the forging room.

Soon, the Castle Master respectfully took out the Backfire Crystals and Chen Yan's physical body from the origin space.

A total of one hundred and fifty-three Backfire Crystals.

The Backfire Castle, a domain named after Backfire, only had sixty-five.

It shows just how incompetent the Backfire Castle Master really is.

Chen Yan waved his hand, and the Backfire Castle Master respectfully retreated.

Chen Yan looked at his own physical body and sighed softly. This malicious crystal from Chi Xue was firmly locked inside the physical body by an array.

The physical body was once again in danger of turning into an ancient divine beast.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Yan had been constantly exuding his immortal will along the way to suppress this malice, the physical body would have already turned into an ancient divine beast.

However, fortunately, this Rank 8 Malice Crystal was not nearly as terrifying as the previous one.

The one Chen Yan had encountered before was a peak Rank 8 Malice Crystal.

But this one was, at most, at the early stage.

Compared to the Five Clans, the resources Chi Xue could bring out alone could only be described as insignificant.

However, the opponent was very clever.

They had directly used an array to bind this Malice Crystal onto Chen Yan's physical body at close range.

The Malice Crystal was not the key; the array was!

The Malice Crystal could suppress Chen Yan's Willpower, but it was this array that was truly stripping away Chen Yan's life force.

This was a poison array!

This move by Chi Xue could certainly be called ruthless.

The opponent had even calculated that malice could suppress Willpower.

Of course, Willpower Warriors had long since appeared among the Five Clans, so this was not considered a secret.

But Chi Xue's calculations were too vicious.

Clatter!

The Willpower Divine Body placed all the Counter-Fire Crystals into the Counter-Fire Furnace, and orange flames emerged.

The next moment, Chen Yan threw his physical body into the Counter-Fire.

Then, the physical body was directly pushed out of the furnace by the flames.

Chen Yan frowned.

It wouldn't work?

He had intended to exploit a bug, using the separation of his Willpower Divine Body and his physical body to temper his physical body with the Counter-Fire alone.

That way, he wouldn't have to endure the excruciating pain from the Counter-Fire's searing heat.

However, it was clear that this would not work.

Perhaps the true Counter-Fire Furnace was not meant for tempering weapons at all, but for tempering the physical body and Willpower.

Chen Yan took a deep breath, and the next instant, the Willpower Divine Body merged back into his true self.

With a *snap*, Chen Yan climbed up and crawled into the Counter-Fire Furnace.

In less than five seconds, Chen Yan already had the urge to escape the Counter-Fire.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!!!

On his physical body, those dense black inscriptions began to be devoured and extinguished by the Counter-Fire.

The Counter-Fire identified these as impurities within Chen Yan's body, so it was continuously tempering them out.

Seven seconds!

Eight seconds!

Chen Yan's eyes turned red.

Nine seconds!

Boom!

Chen Yan exited the Counter-Fire and threw the Ember-Memory Spear into it.

He lay beside the Counter-Fire Furnace; the inscriptions on his body had vanished, no longer controlling that Malice Crystal.

The deadly poison from the array disc was also being devoured and extinguished in large quantities by the Counter-Fire.

Immediately after, Chen Yan used his bare hands to remove the Rank 8 Malice Crystal that had been embedded in his body.

He called for the Fortress Master, handed the Malice Crystal to them, and ordered these Counter-Fire Soldier Husks to consume this Malice Crystal.

"Master, you are truly... the greatest master in the world."

The Fortress Master wiped away tears and slowly left.

Soon, cheers from the Counter-Fire Soldier Husks rang out within the castle.

Chen Yan took a deep breath; there were still residues of poison and malice within his body.

To clear them completely, he would still need to undergo several more sessions of Counter-Fire tempering.

But this time, Chen Yan had undoubtedly gained a great harvest.

There was no need to mention the Counter-Fire Crystals.

Secondly, there was the Lei Yu Ci Hun, a Divine Seed ranked eleventh on the Spiritual Item List.

It was no lie when Chen Yan said he would establish another Magnetic Storm Thunder Prison.

After the Ten Thousand Prison Nether Thunder devoured it, it perfectly inherited the opponent's characteristics; the combination of the two Divine Seeds would bring Chen Yan a massive boost.

Within the legacy of the Lei Yu Ci Hun, there were also a great many Thunder Sphere lifeforms and embryos of spider-type mechanical bodies.

With such a massive legacy, Chen Yan could completely rely on the Ten Thousand Prison Nether Thunder to establish a massive power once again.

That Rank 8 Malice Crystal would also make the remaining thirty-six Counter-Fire Soldier Husks significantly more powerful.

Of course, there were also the fifteen laser turrets from Yu Cang.

Aside from these.

Chen Yan looked into his Origin Space, where six ring-shaped Spirits of Divinity were floating slowly.

A string of numbers appeared deep in Chen Yan's mind.

【×6】

In a single battle, Chen Yan had directly obtained fourteen thousand Spirits of Divinity!
