Chapter 597: This Time, the Five Clans Have Won Big

"Damn it!"

A roar resounded.

The sea waves surged with a thick crimson hue, slapping against the sandy shore again and again, while pitch-black, octopus-like herbaceous plants growing on the beach exuded black malice, constantly moving in and out of the tide.

Chen Changyuan sat upon a reef, his expression extremely gloomy.

In the auction, what he needed most was naturally the Sword Heart of the Inverse Nine Swords, but Chen Changyuan himself knew that since the Sword Heart of the Inverse Nine Swords was ranked second for auction, the probability of him obtaining it was very small.

Therefore, his second target was the Purple Sea Spirit Wind, which would be auctioned in the tenth round.

That was a treasure ranked twenty-fifth on the Spirit Item List; Chen Changyuan would not consume it, but he could resell it, or use the Purple Sea Spirit Wind as a trade item to have the other Five Clans Creation Realm experts do things for him.

As for the Mourning Wraith Disk, Chen Changyuan had no desire for it at all.

Among the Five Clans Creation Realm experts traveling with him, there were no Thought Masters; even if he wanted the Mourning Wraith Disk, he would have no way to trade it with others.

That Lu Wuyi had misunderstood him!

Chen Changyuan's eyes shot out cold light; even as the seawater splashed onto his body, he did not care in the slightest.

He had been pushing through the trials as if his life depended on it during this period, all for this auction.

As a result, those few words from Lu Wuyi had ruined all his arrangements.

For the past year or two, Chen Changyuan had not encountered a single thing that could make him feel satisfied.

It was as if the entire world was targeting him.

Why the hell was this happening?

Chen Changyuan stood up slowly.

"Perhaps the targeting I have received is not worth mentioning compared to Chen Yan.

There must be a battle between Chen Yan and me; after that battle, either he dies or I die."

As he spoke, he looked up toward the high sky.

Was he miserable?

Of course he was.

After all, during this period, he had nearly worked himself to death to obtain the Spirit of Divinity, but Lu Wuyi's few words had directly destroyed all his efforts.

But Chen Changyuan felt that Chen Yan was even more miserable.

Being targeted too severely.

The Great Xia Creation Realm experts wanted to help Chen Yan just as much as the Five Clans Creation Realm experts wanted to wipe Chen Yan out.

Chen Yan was the center of the entire storm, while he, Chen Changyuan, could continue to develop.

With a hum, Chen Changyuan exhaled into a sword.

The next instant, a sword light shot straight into the clouds.

Splash!

The sword light slashed down, churning the ocean; the tide surged, and endless wave crests curled backward, stabbing toward the firmament, while the salty, fishy water mist froze into blood crystals in mid-air.

The back-flowing seawater crashed against the cloud layer, forcibly tearing it apart.

The next instant.

The sky full of dark clouds scattered, revealing a swollen blood moon above.

On the blood moon, countless crowded eyes suddenly opened, staring at the world, staring at Chen Changyuan.

Vast!

Vast beyond measure, as if it had always stood outside the world, always watching everything in the struggle of the Five Clans.

Second-level domain, Blood Sea of the Eclipsed Moon!

In an instant, it seemed as if endless gibberish resounded in Chen Changyuan's ears.

Chen Changyuan's expression was calm; he suddenly opened his mouth and uttered words that did not seem like something a human could speak, extremely eerie.

The next instant.

Splash, splash, splash!!!

Countless eyeballs suddenly fell from that blood moon, landing before Chen Changyuan's feet, supporting that blood moon from outside the world.

"Meng, though you are dead, you have given me another future," Chen Changyuan murmured, stepping onto the staircase of eyeballs beneath his feet and walking toward the blood moon.

"Everyone wants to control me, but can they?" Chen Changyuan laughed out loud:

"A person's life is meant for pursuing everything!"

…………

"Unexpected, unexpected, this is the best way; those with merit must receive our help!"

"He is worthy of this; now that he has a chance to be exempt from bidding, perhaps he can even take the Inverse Fire Crystal before taking the Mourning Wraith Disk."

"Good, good, good! Heaven helps those who act with righteousness!"

"That guy is a three-surname slave; being eliminated is what he deserves. I've wanted to slaughter him for a long time."

…………

Within the pure white auction space, the laughter of various Five Clans Creation Realm experts rang out.

At this moment, many Five Clans Creation Realm experts had actually sensed that this 'Lu Wuyi' might have been putting on an act.

After all, when they cast their own exemption votes for this person, they were all thinking that this was the only supreme Creation Realm expert they could be certain of.

Moreover, this person had almost been directly eliminated for the sake of the Five Clans, and for the sake of Chen Mi, he had dared to directly waste his own Spirit of Divinity to purchase an Enlightenment Myriad Forms Map that was useless to him.

Many Five Clans Creation Realm experts were moved in their hearts.

Therefore, even if many of them wanted to cast an exemption vote, this was their only option.

But now, until this person truly obtained the chance for exemption, some began to wonder.

What the hell... was this whole thing just a performance from the very beginning, all for the sake of the exemption?

However, everyone was a smart person; they saw through it but did not speak of it.

Wrapped in a layer of black mist, Chen Yan's expression was calm.

He chose to disguise himself as Lu Wuyi because Lu Wuyi was the only choice.

The Five Clans are five major clans.

The Creation Realm experts of each major clan naturally wanted to cast their exemption votes for the strongest person within their own clan.

Only if they could not find the strongest person within their own clan would they look for the strongest among the other four clans.

This person had to be not only strong but also wholeheartedly devoted to the Five Clans.

Chen Mi, on one hand, had no way to prove that he was Chen Mi.

On the other hand, a total of only four people from Chen Prefecture had entered.

Among these four people, Chen Yitong had died at Chen Yan's hands from the start, and Chen Changyuan was still a three-surname slave.

In Ji Prefecture, the strongest Creation Realm expert was Ji Yanbing, but he was only eighth on the Creation Realm Ranking.

The strongest in Chi Prefecture was Chi Xue, seventh on the Creation Realm Ranking; on one hand, he was not the top-tier Creation Realm expert, and on the other hand, Chi Xue's reputation within his own clan seemed to be poor.

As for Yu Prefecture, Yu Laiwei had entered the Divine Spirit Ranking, so perhaps he was the strongest Creation Realm expert of Yu Prefecture.

But the other four clans were not familiar with Yu Prefecture at all, and they even had no good feelings toward it.

And at this time, the second on the Creation Realm Ranking, the strongest Creation Realm expert of Lu Prefecture, Lu Wuyi, became the primary target Chen Yan wanted to disguise himself as.

Now.

The Great Xia Creation Realm experts felt lost in their hearts at this moment.

Up until now, they still had not figured out who Chen Yan was.

And it was at this moment.

A grand and ethereal voice sounded once again.

"The person who has received the most exemption votes has obtained the exemption authority.

They can claim auction items that have already been auctioned off or have not yet been auctioned.

If they take an item that has already been auctioned, the auction house will fully refund the Divine Spirit that the buyer paid."

The instant this voice resounded.

Everyone trembled.

The auction house had provided an interpretation of the exemption votes, but this interpretation left everyone shocked.

Because the exemption authority not only allowed participation in the auctions that had not yet taken place but also allowed one to claim treasures that had already been auctioned off.

At this, Chen Mi, Lu Wuyi, Xia Long, and other Creation Realm experts who had already used their Divine Spirit to win divine objects were all panicked.

Chen Mi felt that his whole being was not well for a moment.

And it was at this moment that someone suddenly looked at Chen Mi:

"Hey, if you are our number one, just let this person use the exemption authority to take the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad Form Seed in your hands."

The person speaking was clearly a Creation Realm expert of the Five Clans.

After his voice fell, someone else spoke up:

"Exactly, for this existence to have obtained the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad Form Map for you, wouldn't it be too troublesome to have to send it to you personally?

It would be better to just let him use the exemption authority to get the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad Form Seed into his hands."

If these people could reveal their true faces, they certainly would not dare to speak to Chen Mi like this.

But now, they did not care.

Moreover, some of them also believed that the one who had auctioned off the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad Form Seed was Chen Yan.

"You are very powerful, you are sincerely for us, don't overthink it; anyway, you have the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad Form Map, just take the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad Form Seed first.

Besides, he is very likely that person!"

Someone began to advise Chen Yan, sincerely believing that Chen Yan was Lu Wuyi.

The Dao-Enlightenment Myriad Form Seed was very powerful.

But the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad Form Seed paired with the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad Form Map was simply an outrageous item.

The fact that it could deduce perfect martial arts was already enough to surpass many divine artifacts.

The Five Clans' Creation Realm experts were all laughing inside, and the Lu Prefecture Creation Realm experts even laughed out loud, extremely excited.

With the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad Form Seed and the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad Form Map, Lu Wuyi might soon become the most powerful Creation Realm expert.

Chen Mi's expression turned ugly.

It's over!

He had been quite moved originally, but now, he himself had become the person who should least obtain the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad Form Seed.

But he was unwilling to give up the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad Form Seed.

The next moment, Chen Mi took a deep breath and looked toward the direction where Chen Yan was:

"I am at the Ancient God... ahhh!!!"

The instant he said this sentence, countless sharp blades struck, piercing into his entire body.

Chen Mi screamed, but at this moment, he was enduring and roaring:

"Forbidden Land!"

The next instant, Chen Mi disappeared directly from where he stood.

He had stated his location, which undoubtedly revealed his own information.

But he had to do this.

He had to have the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad Form Seed.

This was a rare divine object; who would be willing to give it up?

He revealed his location, still hoping that this Lu Wuyi would send him the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad-Aspects Map.

Chen Mi left just like that.

The Five-Clan Creation-Realm experts looked at each other, and someone sneered:

"If he is that person, then his methods are simply inferior and childish.

If he is not that person, but rather our number one, then he is too selfish."

Someone else felt helpless, sneered, and looked at Chen Yan with even more respect.

After all, there is no harm without comparison.

This Lu Wuyi had sacrificed himself for the sake of the Five Clans and for others.

Yet that person had appeared extremely selfish and self-interested from beginning to end.

The Great Xia Creation-Realm experts each had different expressions, and many felt a chill in their hearts.

They only hoped that Chen Yan was still on the scene and still had a chance to bid for the Counter-Fire Crystals.

At the same time, the real Lu Wuyi opened his mouth wide.

This time, Chen Yan had won big.

What was he supposed to do?

Should he scream like Chen Mi, claim that he was the real Lu Wuyi, and then get eliminated?

Even then, no one would believe him.

Moreover, the voting had already ended; even if he struggled now, it would be useless.

Wrapped in black mist, an incomparably complex and furious expression appeared on Lu Wuyi's face.

Damn it, he's too cunning!

He finally understood why his younger sister had disregarded everything on Myriad-Aspects Island to rush into the Malice Rules to save Chen Yan.

If so many Five-Clan Creation-Realm experts were being played by Chen Yan, how could his sister be any different?

"Damn it!" Lu Wuyi cursed under his breath, then immediately gave up.

What else could he do but give up?

It was already over.

Chen Yan would definitely continue to bid for the Counter-Fire Crystals, and then use the auction authority he had obtained to take the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad-Aspects Seed that Chen Mi had acquired into his own hands.

This was something the Five-Clan Creation-Realm experts had painstakingly chosen, one vote per person.

Damn it.

You've won big.

Just at this moment.

Chen Yan suddenly spoke:

"In this world, how many Dao-Enlightenment Myriad-Aspects Seeds are there in total?"

As his voice fell, some people pondered, and someone immediately spoke up:

"That is unclear."

That person's voice was respectful; they should be a Creation-Realm expert from Lu Prefecture.

Lu Jianxia watched coldly, and at this moment, she let out a "Heh."

She was so angry she almost laughed.

Chen Yan frowned; he actually wanted to figure out how many Dao-Enlightenment Myriad-Aspects Seeds one Dao-Enlightenment Myriad-Aspects Map could be paired with.

If it was useless to have two, Chen Yan didn't want to waste the auction-exemption authority he held.

What Chen Yan wanted most, in fact, was the Evil-Void Black Tide.

That thing was a natural treasure that perfectly suited the Power of Will.

【Evil-Void Black Tide

Origin: Withered-Dream Maze City.

Effect: Can be integrated into the physical body of a living being or combined with a weapon; it has no malice, but possesses malicious characteristics and can create Evil-Void Spores to launch consciousness attacks against enemies.】

Chen Yan pondered, but for the moment, he did not speak again.

Just at this moment.

The auction continued.

"The seventh auction item: three hundred Counter-Fire Crystals.

Origin: Dark-Devourer Mother Nest.

Effect: Can be cast into a Counter-Fire Furnace to produce Counter-Fire, used for forging weapons, significantly increasing weapon grade and divinity!

The auction begins!"

The moment this voice resounded, everyone fell silent.

At this time.

If Chen Yan were still here, he would definitely make a move.

But many Great Xia Creation-Realm experts felt their hearts sink.

Although they were not sure who exactly was Chen Yan.

Many knew that Chen Yan had almost no ability left to acquire Counter-Fire Crystals.

This time, the Five Clans had won big.
