Chapter 609: Break the limits of the self, break the limits of the world!

【The Tier 2 domain battle wager has ended.

You have obtained: 178,960 Spirits of Divinity.】

Upon returning to Backfire Castle, these two lines of text appeared before Chen Yan.

At the same time, within Chen Yan's Origin Space, the six Martial Dao Rings containing the Spirits of Divinity began to vibrate, filling with precious light and becoming increasingly miraculous.

Divine radiance overflowed, illuminating the entire Origin Space.

When Chi Xue battled the Dark-Devouring Mother Nest, Chen Yan had invested 【×6】, or 60,000 Spirits of Divinity, betting that Chi Xue would win.

The situation was as Chen Yan had anticipated; Chi Xue won.

And Chen Yan received nearly triple the wager in rewards.

It is estimated that neither the Great Xia nor the Five Clans Creation Realm believed that Chi Xue would defeat the Dark-Devouring Mother Nest.

But Chen Yan, who was also within the domain of the Dark-Devouring Mother Nest, understood Chi Xue a little better.

Chi Xue did not disappoint Chen Yan's expectations.

It also happened that over these past few days, Chen Yan had been constantly consuming Martial Dao Diagrams, and he himself only had a little over 20,000 Spirits of Divinity left.

Chi Xue's victory this time could be considered a major supply for Chen Yan.

【×6】

This is the number of Spirits of Divinity Chen Yan has remaining now.

Soon, the Spirit of Divinity Shop will open, and Chen Yan can be considered to have a certain amount of capital to purchase resources.

But for now.

Chen Yan's thoughts did not linger too long on the joy of obtaining such huge resources.

Although he had previously belittled Chi Xue to the dirt and denied everything about the other party.

That was merely a method Chen Yan used to enrage Chi Xue.

Chen Yan had to admit that Chi Xue was an extremely powerful enemy.

The other party was powerful in strength and, furthermore, exceptionally intelligent.

Time and again, through various means, they unearthed Chen Yan's deepest intelligence.

And in a few more days, what Chen Yan must deal with is Chi Xue combined with the Dark-Devouring Mother Nest.

This was a battle that made even Chen Yan feel exceptionally dangerous.

Not to mention Chi Xue.

Inside the Dark-Devouring Mother Nest, there was an Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beast.

The Eighth Rank is enough to suppress everything.

Chen Yan did not show a worried appearance; whether it was in his previous conversation with Qi Fan and the others, or now, he did not display such a state.

Chen Yan understood that before a huge crisis.

The crisis might not be able to kill him.

But his own fear and regret would kill Chen Yan.

"If the heart has no dead end, the world has no dead end."

Chen Yan's eyes were deep, sensing every single end of the pulse, sensing the various appearances belonging to the human world.

He paced within the forging room, clear light flowing over his entire body, as if he were an exiled immortal.

"Since I entered the Dao, I have never been intelligent, never been a monster; I only have a powerful will, I only have a heart that refuses to admit defeat."

Chen Yan whispered, digging deep into his own Martial Dao foundation.

He thought of many things.

He wanted to pioneer a breakthrough, he wanted to fuse Chen Yan and Bing Yi.

This was an idea he had a long time ago.

But he had never done it.

He was too busy, so busy that he had almost no time to deal with these things.

But at this moment, under the immense crisis.

Chen Yan was indeed conceiving these things.

The next moment.

One by one, Backfire Crystals were taken out by Chen Yan.

Ninety-three pieces.

These were the last of the Backfire Crystals Chen Yan had left.

Chen Yan took out a piece of tempering treasure medicine, True Dragon Flame Marrow, and swallowed it into his abdomen.

Immediately, he threw a Backfire Crystal into the Backfire Furnace, and the flames burned.

Chen Yan walked into the flames, his physical body being forged by the intense light and fire.

As of now, his Qi and blood path had already reached the limit of the realm.

But his tempering path only had 7,897 True Dragon Dharma Images.

It was still far from the limit of the realm.

Chen Yan wanted to ascend to the Creation Realm.

Relying on the extreme pressure of the Backfire Crystals on his physical body, he would let his tempering path reach the peak of the Sixth Rank, and then enter the Creation Realm.

But Chen Yan was not satisfied with merely entering the Creation Realm.

In history, there has never been a record of a Creation Realm cultivator defeating an Eighth Rank.

Even if he broke his limits to enter the Creation Realm, he would be unable to achieve a fundamental leap.

Chen Yan wanted to break the limits of both tempering and Qi and blood simultaneously!

He wanted to truly experience Qi-blood and Hard-Refining at the moment of breaking his limits.

This was something Chen Yan had never been able to do before.

Hard-Refining is to isolate oneself from heaven and earth, and to be absolutely independent.

Qi-blood is to sense heaven and earth, and to return to nature.

The two are naturally diametrically opposed.

This is the reason why Chen Yan had always been unable to combine the two martial paths together.

This is the fundamental reason why Bing Yi and Chen Yan could not truly become one.

But ordinary cultivation is not Chen Yan's area of mastery.

"Breaking the limit is!"

Chen Yan murmured, golden light erupting from his eyes.

The Hard-Refining breathing technique evolved to Sun-Level Grade C, 【Forging Expansion of the Firmament】, began to run frantically.

This was a breathing technique thoroughly mastered by Chen Yan, perfectly suited to Chen Yan's physical body.

Chen Yan's mastery of 【Forging Expansion of the Firmament】 would no longer be evaluated as Entry, Heart-Entering, Profound-Entering, Micro-Entering, or Divine-Entering.

Because this was a breathing technique completely mastered by Chen Yan, belonging to Chen Yan himself.

It could even be renamed.

As Chen Yan cultivated.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm, orange light representing strength and cyan light representing physique emerged.

A new Saint-Breaking Fruit was slowly being born.

"Are you excited too?"

Chen Yan's consciousness appeared before the Saint-Breaking Tree, stroking the rough bark with one hand.

Rustle, rustle...

The massive Heaven-Propping Tree swayed without wind, countless green leaves shaking.

In the past, Chen Yan was so weak, and the Saint-Breaking Tree was so fragile.

They grew together, soared together, and rang out together.

"Ha..."

Chen Yan suddenly laughed, his body unable to stop trembling.

His consciousness seemed to be communicating with the Saint-Breaking Tree.

"Hahaha..."

Chen Yan's shoulders heaved, his eyes blooming with sharp light.

"You're right, actually..."

Chen Yan spoke:

"Actually, it wasn't that I was forced into a corner and walked into the trap set by Chi Xue.

And it wasn't because Qi Fan and the others were suppressed."

Chen Yan's consciousness strolled leisurely around the great tree, shaking his head with a smile:

"I even deceived myself; the actual reason is still myself, wanting to give it a try.

With such a powerful enemy, I yearned to defeat them."

His eyes were bright, his physical body being burned by the Inverse Fire.

This time, the duration Chen Yan persisted within the Inverse Fire had long since broken the record Chen Yan had previously set.

But Chen Yan felt no pain; instead, he was laughing.

His limit-breaking had been given meaning by his own choice.

He was happy!

"Break the limits of the self, break the limits of the world!

What others cannot do, I, Chen Yan, will do.

What others dare not do, I, Chen Yan will also do!

If I do not do it, my life will lose much of its meaning!"

………………

Knock, knock, knock.

Outside the forging room.

Qi Fan shook his head slightly and glanced at Zhang Chao beside him:

"It seems he is cultivating."

Zhang Chao said:

"Chen Yan is always like this; he is basically always cultivating."

Qi Fan's expression was complex as he nodded:

"I didn't expect that in the end, it would be us dragging him down."

Zhang Chao was silent for a long time before saying:

"Put another way, isn't a Heavenly God General like this even more admirable?"

Qi Fan was startled, wanting to speak but stopping.

It was at this moment that a screen showing a commodity price list appeared before both of them simultaneously.

"Shang Gu Zhan Tai ticket, Mutation Disaster Source... this is..." Zhang Chao's eyes trembled slightly:

"The Divinity Spirit Shop has opened!"

Qi Fan was also taken aback, carefully examining the price list of goods in front of him.

"As expected of the Five Clans Struggle, these things are actually being brought out for sale."

He felt a bit emotional and clicked to purchase two items.

"Striving to become stronger now is the only viable path; if I can advance to the Eighth Rank, then Chen Yan's pressure will be much less."

Qi Fan said, but he sighed inwardly.

Advance to the Eighth Rank?

If advancing to the Eighth Rank were that simple, it would be fine.

But he had no other choice now.

He had to at least let Chen Yan survive.

"The Shang Gu Zhan Tai, I have heard of it long ago; it is said that it allows one to perceive the most fundamental essence of the physical body.

Let's go in and take a look first." Zhang Chao spoke up.

Qi Fan glanced at the door of the smithy, then nodded:

"That is fine, perhaps I can obtain some essence of the physical body and thereby advance to the Eighth Rank."

The next moment, the two of them simultaneously purchased an item.

At the same time.

Within the entire Five Clans Struggle.

All martial artists saw that the Divine Spirit Shop had opened.

"Inverse Nine Sword Sword Marrow, it is actually only forty thousand Divine Spirits; this is much cheaper than the Inverse Nine Sword Sword Heart at the auction."

"True Dragon Flame Marrow, isn't this a supreme treasure of Great Xia? It is actually only one thousand Divine Spirits."

"Sun-level Grade A battle armor, Dragon God Battle Armor; this was the protective armor of a certain Eighth Rank existence from a thousand years ago. I didn't expect it to appear as well."

"With so many treasures, I actually have no money to buy them at all."

"Hahaha, Myriad World Mirror, if I can obtain it, I can advance to the Eighth Rank within a month, but unfortunately, I have no money."

"Shang Gu Zhan Tai ticket, good, good, good, I want to enter the Shang Gu Zhan Tai and obtain the truth!"

…………

One voice after another rang out.

Many people first purchased the treasures they wanted, and then bought tickets for the Shang Gu Zhan Tai.

The Shang Gu Zhan Tai is a major feature of the Five Clans Struggle.

Within it, forging the martial artist's essence of the physical body is naturally extraordinary.

On Gu Shen Shan.

Jiang Yuan glanced at Shen Yiwei beside him.

Not far from them, there were dozens of Great Xia Creation Realm experts, including Xia Long.

"It's just that I don't know if one can communicate within the Shang Gu Zhan Tai; if communication is possible, let's find Chen Yan first."

Xia Long spoke, his heart heavy.

Chen Yan and Chi Xue had opened a Domain Battle, and they couldn't help with anything; this was the most helpless thing.

Everyone nodded, then simultaneously raised the golden tickets in their hands.

The next moment, a black hole suspended in the void appeared in front of each of them.

Everyone remained standing where they were, but their own consciousness was sucked into the black hole.

Passing through the black hole tunnel, they arrived above a lake.

The lake was tranquil, the azure lake water was like a gemstone, and weeping willows lined the shore, their branches lightly touching the water's surface.

Jiang Yuan stepped out from the black hole, stood above the lake, and looked around.

At the same time.

Above the lake, quite a few people were already standing.

At the same time, figures were stepping out from the black holes being born in various places.

An ethereal voice resounded.

"In this place, it is forbidden to disclose any intelligence regarding domains or martial artists; violators will be severely punished."

The moment this voice rang out.

Some of the Five Clans Creation Realm experts who originally wanted to mock Chen Yan curled their lips; this made them very unhappy.

After all, having been suppressed by Chen Yan for so long, now that they knew Chen Yan was about to suffer, who wouldn't want to retort a few times.

"Again?" Jiang Yuan muttered.

Just like at the auction, at this moment, everyone's body was shrouded in a layer of black mist.

But soon, Jiang Yuan realized:

"That's not right, we came in together, and after teleporting over, the time we appeared was also exactly the same."

This time, the Shang Gu Zhan Tai was clearly a bit different from the auction.

Last time, everyone could not choose the time and could only be teleported over together.

But this time, because the tickets for the Shang Gu Zhan Tai were purchased based on your personal will.

So whether to use them and when to use them were all based on your personal will.

And Jiang Yuan and the others used their tickets together and were teleported over at the same time.

Although the locations they were teleported to were different, the time they appeared was exactly the same.

This led to the fact that everyone could judge whether others were their comrades based on whether the appearance time was consistent.

Jiang Yuan's voice rang out, and it was soon heard by those around him.

Just at this moment, quite a few people who appeared at the same time headed toward Jiang Yuan's side.

Jiang Yuan pointed at one of them and said:

"Buddy, I've been watching the whole time, get lost."

That person who was just about to hurry over waved both hands and immediately left.

The other party had arrived long ago; they had wanted to fish in troubled waters just now, and seeing that people were gathering on Jiang Yuan's side, they had wanted to come over.

Very quickly, the Creation Realm experts from the Great Xia who originated from Gu Shen Shan gathered together.

Just at this moment.

All around, someone laughed out loud and spoke.

"That person is finished!"

As their voice fell, the group of people beside Jiang Yuan all let out cold snorts.

Very quickly.

"I really don't know how he is going to win."

"No, what exactly is he thinking?"

"Damn it, you all want to fight, right?"

"Say one more word, and even if I have to break the rules, I will fight you to the death!"

"He will definitely die!"

"He will die? You said the same thing last time, and the time before that."

…………

At this moment, the entire lake suddenly became noisy.

Although everyone was unable to disclose outside intelligence.

But it was just like the auction.

As long as they used "that person" to refer to Chen Yan, everyone could understand what it meant.

As soon as the people of the Five Clans started mocking, the people of the Great Xia began to retort instantly.

The calm lake began to descend into chaos once again.

Chi Xue also came in.

Watching this scene, he chuckled.
