Chapter 612: A Six-Dao All-Rounder? I Define Martial Dao!

At the same time.

Inside the forging room.

Chen Yan examined Lu Jingqiu's body.

He sensed the martial Dao meridians, having long known that what enters the Shang Gu Zhan Tai is a sliver of a martial artist's consciousness, not their physical body.

But whether it was a sliver of consciousness or their entire consciousness, Chen Yan did not know.

The reason Chen Yan had not gone to the Shang Gu Zhan Tai was that he worried if his consciousness entered, his physical body would stop cultivating.

At this moment, Lu Jingqiu's consciousness had already been sucked into the Shang Gu Zhan Tai, but golden light still diffused from her physical body, and she had not stopped cultivating.

Chen Yan's expression shifted slightly, and the next moment he tapped the void.

A price list appeared before him.

【1. Shang Gu Zhan Tai ticket: 2,000 Divine Spirits】

【2. Myriad Generations Mirror: 50,000 Divine Spirits】

【3. Source of Mutated Calamity: 40,000 Divine Spirits】

【4. Inverse Nine Sword Sword Marrow: 40,000 Divine Spirits】

【5. Sun-Level Battle Armor Dragon God: 15,000 Divine Spirits】

【11. Life Profound Fragment: 400 Divine Spirits per piece】

【12. Inverse Fire Crystal: 300 Divine Spirits per piece】

【13. Elemental Fragment: 100 Divine Spirits per piece】

Chen Yan tapped the line for the Shang Gu Zhan Tai ticket and purchased the ticket.

As for the other treasures, Chen Yan had no time to consider them right now.

Being able to sense the true essence of the physical body was naturally the best.

At this moment, Chen Yan was instead not worried about the pressure brought by breaking limits.

One must know, when Chen Yan broke limits previously, he was merging martial Dao while situated within Inverse Fire.

Inverse Fire is a wondrous object from the War of the Five Clans.

Chen Yan constantly used Inverse Fire to temper himself, constantly feeling the intense pain that should not belong to the human world.

His will was constantly being tempered, constantly growing stronger.

This was a tangible improvement.

Chen Yan now, instead, wanted even more to understand the mysteries belonging to martial Dao.

Now, being able to enter the Shang Gu Zhan Tai was naturally even better.

"I will enter with you," Ke Qingxuan said from the side.

"That works," Chen Yan nodded, looking at Ke Qingxuan:

"Senior, do not blame me for being too heavy-handed just now."

Ke Qingxuan was startled, then hurriedly said:

"I don't."

Her gaze was gentle, looking straight at Chen Yan just like that, until the next moment when she shifted her gaze away.

The next instant, Chen Yan and Ke Qingxuan sat down.

Hum...

Pitch-black mist once again enveloped Chen Yan, until Chen Yan and Ke Qingxuan appeared simultaneously at different locations above the lake.

At the same time.

Inside the palace in the high sky.

The woman wearing a ten-colored immortal dress furrowed her brows:

"How absurd!"

She had been paying attention to Chen Yan the entire time.

And then, her understanding was refreshed time and time again.

If even she was refreshed, then one could imagine just what kind of outrageous things Chen Yan was doing.

Now, under her disbelieving gaze, Chen Yan's consciousness had arrived at the Shang Gu Zhan Tai.

Utterly outrageous.

"Does he really think he can ascend the steps, break through realms, and merge martial Dao all at the same time?"

What on earth is this person doing.

The woman rubbed the space between her brows, but the next moment, she furrowed her brows, and after seeing a certain object, she shut her mouth again.

At the same time.

Above the lake.

When Chen Yan appeared.

Originally, someone had just glanced toward Chen Yan's side, and then instantly exclaimed:

"Six... Six-Dao All-Rounder!!!"

That person's voice shook, filled with a flavor of disbelief.

At this moment, everyone on the battle platform turned to look toward Chen Yan.

Six patterns had now manifested on the black mist enveloping Chen Yan's physical body.

Their faces and entire bodies were shrouded in black mist, but one could imagine what kind of expressions they wore beneath it.

"A Six-Path All-Rounder, which side are you on?"

"He was detected before entering the Five-Clan Struggle, and now it has appeared again!"

"Could he be some extreme monster who has been hidden and nurtured?"

"A Six-Path All-Rounder isn't just about practicing six martial paths; it requires all six of your martial paths to be recognized by the Purple Firmament World-Fixing Mirror."

"He must be an old monster; it would take an unimaginable amount of time to master all six paths simultaneously."

Voices rang out one after another.

Whether from the Great Xia or the Five Clans, everyone was looking at Chen Yan, shocked and speculating.

When everyone entered the Purple Firmament World-Fixing Mirror, they all knew that a Six-Path All-Rounder had appeared among the martial artists.

At the time, neither the Great Xia Eighth-Rankers nor the Five-Clan Eighth-Rankers would admit that the Six-Path All-Rounder belonged to their side.

This resulted in no one knowing who this Six-Path All-Rounder actually was.

But everyone knew that anyone capable of balancing six paths was an extreme monster.

Jiang Yuan, the head of the Great Xia Second-Rank General Stars and a monster among monsters, had only practiced five paths.

Chen Mi, first on the Creation Realm Ranking, had five paths.

Chen Yan, the Great Xia Heavenly God General, had three martial paths.

These were all common knowledge.

Of course, some people knew that Chen Yan was Ice Intent.

But even that Chen Yan had only practiced five paths.

Ke Qingxuan, whose entire body was wrapped in black mist, stood where she was; she had realized immediately that the person who entered with her was Chen Yan and had been rushing toward him.

But at this moment, she stopped in her tracks.

Even she, who had never underestimated Chen Yan, was stunned at this moment.

What was going on?

Chen Yan had never displayed any psychokinesis.

At the same time.

Chen Yan was sensing his own physical body.

It was a very strange feeling; a sliver of his consciousness had been pulled away to the Shang Gu Zhan Tai, yet he could still perceive his own physical body.

This made sense.

In the Five-Clan Struggle, there were crises everywhere.

If one's consciousness entered the Shang Gu Zhan Tai and lost contact with the physical body,

what would happen if the body were found and attacked by enemies or ancient divine beasts?

Therefore, this Shang Gu Zhan Tai was less about the consciousness traveling here and more about being imbued with an illusion in one's mind.

While sensing his physical body, Chen Yan stepped onto the stairs formed by the lake water.

In an instant, six figures appeared out of thin air beside Chen Yan.

Three punches and three kicks arrived from all directions; Chen Yan raised his left arm to block the side of his head and lifted his left leg.

At the same time, Chen Yan's left arm joint met his left knee, forming a seamless defensive surface with one leg and one arm, blocking the three attacks.

The next instant, his left foot stomped down.

A sweeping leg from one figure was pinned under Chen Yan's foot; the next moment, Chen Yan used the leverage to spring up, shifting his body to sweep his leg across the necks and heads of two figures in succession.

The sequence of movements was incredibly proficient.

Many who were secretly observing Chen Yan clicked their tongues in their hearts.

"Too seasoned; he must be an old monster."

"Everyone's martial paths have been sealed, so how is he so proficient when facing six figures?"

Some discussed and speculated.

But immediately after.

Boom!

A low hum of rules resounded.

Everyone's attention instantly shifted away, no longer observing the Six-Path All-Rounder who was still climbing the stairs.

"Does anyone have a count? How many times has he broken through his realm?!"

"It hasn't been long since he reached the Sixth Rank in tempering, so why is he advancing again?"

"This is him, hahaha!"

"Hahaha, so what? He's a dead man!"

Voices rang out one after another.

Chen Yan, however, was extremely serious at this moment.

This sliver of consciousness avatar could not unleash any martial combat power and could only perform the most basic movement techniques.

But this was also the thing Chen Yan had most overlooked.

Martial arts encompassed various physical training methods and techniques, not just Qi and blood, not just tempering, and not just psychokinesis.

The so-called physical martial arts were slowly deviating from the physical body itself.

When your internal force is powerful and your Qi and blood are powerful, you will overlook how you lift your legs and how you throw your punches.

For horizontal tempering, Qi and blood are merely tools.

The physical body is the foundation of everything.

This is why...

"The reason why the Martial Dao can be combined together!"

Chen Yan continuously threw punches, dodged, and unleashed leg strikes; in the battle against these silhouettes, he was also coming to understand himself.

He did not go to learn the 【Heavenly Stellar Body Defense】 that these shadows were displaying.

He understood one thing.

His Martial Dao is defined by himself.

His Martial Dao is a process of excavating himself and strengthening himself.

Chen Yan fought, sensing his physical body.

The true self in the forging room, at the moment of breaking limits, was also perceiving every trace of power in the physical body.

No distinction between Qi and blood, no distinction between horizontal tempering.

That is all power, power that belongs to himself.

Correct.

"It is all power!"

Chen Yan whispered, his heart beating.

Is there any fundamental difference between internal force and Qi and blood?

Isn't it all just power?

Since it is power, why can it not merge?

They all originate from the physical body and are excavated from the physical body, yet they were defined separately by the Lord of Horizontal Tempering and the Lord of Qi and Blood.

From then on, the world knew horizontal tempering as horizontal tempering, and Qi and blood as Qi and blood.

But this is only the world's viewpoint; they hold an indescribable awe for the Lords of the Martial Dao.

But Chen Yan is an exception; the Lord of Qi and Blood was once his comrade-in-arms, and the Lord of Horizontal Tempering once crossed time and space to save him.

Boom!

Chen Yan punched a silhouette into pieces and stepped onto...

The third tier.

Before he knew it, Chen Yan had already arrived at the third tier.

But Chen Yan did not know; he was simply enjoying this battle, this realization.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

In the forging room, where Chen Yan's physical body resided, new internal force and new Qi and blood were born simultaneously, and simultaneously combined.

Golden light shone, illuminating Chen Yan's physical body with a solemn, precious appearance, filled with a sense of absolute dominance.

When these humming sounds of the rules rang out in everyone's ears, they brought different sensations.

"This is really troublesome."

Chi Xue chuckled:

"It's just like a desperate struggle; let me guess, is it Qi and blood or horizontal tempering that is advancing."

The smile on Chi Xue's lips was incomparably strange.

He likes to set some games that completely follow the rules.

But Chen Yan is not a person who follows the rules.

Although his odds of winning are currently extremely high, it is still a headache.

…………

No look of astonishment appeared in Lu Jianxia's eyes.

She knew that this was the real Chen Yan.

They had once stepped through the malice rules together.

She had once witnessed Chen Yan transform into an ancient divine beast inside the Divine General Temple, struggling unwillingly.

What happened that day was just like now.

"I do not wish for you to die just like this."

She finally admitted a certain matter, her silver eyes becoming increasingly firm:

"I hope you can come to my side and fight a life-and-death battle with me."

She whispered, her voice so soft that only she could hear it.

She did not know that Chen Yan was ascending the tiers right behind her.

…………

At this moment, the six-path all-rounder, wrapped in black mist, threw punches like a dragon, his movements crisp yet seemingly carrying a sense of natural simplicity.

The feeling he gave was that Chen Yan was no longer a youth surging with vitality, but a sweeping monk who had swept the floors of an ancient temple for a hundred years.

From beginning to end, he never learned the 【Heavenly Stellar Body Defense】, this so-called truth of the physical body.

This made many who watched him from time to time even more certain.

"Sure enough, he is an old monster who has lived for a thousand or several thousand years."

"For such an existence to not be at the eighth rank, either they have accumulated enough, or they are trash; I think he is the former."

Someone exclaimed, as they were even a bit unable to understand Chen Yan's movements at this moment.

One second they were extremely aesthetic, the next they were plain and simple.

It was astonishingly seasoned.

Chen Yan's advancement speed was very slow.

But within the slowness, it was extremely stable.

As time slowly passed by.

Two hours.

Four hours.

Six hours.

Eight hours.

Where Chen Yan's physical body was, the speed of breaking limits also slowed down.

This finally allowed many of the Five Clans' Creation Realm powerhouses who had been watching to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Breaking the realm thirty-two times, that is enough."

"He doesn't look like a member of the Human Race at all; I suspect he is an ancient divine beast reborn."

"Nonsense, could an ancient divine beast devour and extinguish malice?"

The Five Clans' Creation Realm powerhouses had ugly expressions.

Even knowing that Chen Yan was sure to die, breaking the Creation Realm thirty-two times was still too outrageous.

Because ascending to the Creation Realm and ascending to the Sixth Rank were simply not at the same level of difficulty.

The Great Xia's Creation Realm powerhouses, however, were one by one sighing at Chen Yan's willpower, and worrying about Chen Yan's subsequent Second Rank Domain battle.

The twentieth step.

Zhang Chao growled: "If I don't die today, I will die another day!"

"No matter how hard I struggle, it is not as good as him struggling!"

Under the black mist, Zhang Chao's eyes were blood-red.

He went all out.

What he could do was strive to become stronger.

In the past, a few days' time meant nothing to him, and he could do nothing.

But now, he had to seize every minute and every second.

Like him, there was also Qi Fan.

Qi Fan had already climbed to the twenty-second step; he said nothing, but he was also struggling with all his might.

Qi Fan and his group all felt that they were the ones who had harmed Chen Yan.

They had to use everything to become stronger.

Just at this moment.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Someone suddenly roared, and the black mist on their body began to dissipate.

"I can still continue!!!"

That person shouted explosively, struggling desperately, not wanting to leave.

But the next moment, their figure was still slowly disappearing, and they roared as if with all their might:

"I'm sorry, it's up to you, Qi... ahhhhh!!!"

Intense pain struck, and that person disappeared with a scream.

Qi Fan was stunned; that person was clearly a Great Xia Creation Realm cultivator who had been saved by Chen Yan just like him.

Just at this moment, an ethereal woman's voice rang out.

"Consciousness on the verge of collapse, eliminated!"

The woman's voice fell.

Everyone's expression trembled.

This was the first person to be eliminated because they struggled too hard, causing their consciousness to near collapse.

That person's struggle and their final words made everyone's heart sink.

Whether it was Great Xia or the Five Clans, they realized one thing once again.

That is.

The struggle of the Five Clans is a struggle of life and death.

If one does not struggle with their life, then everyone has the possibility of dying.

That person's final sentence was clearly meant for Qi Fan.

The other party, situated in Chen Yan's camp, wanted to use everything to increase their own strength.

But they almost died.

Many of the Five Clans' Creation Realm powerhouses were also alarmed; regardless of how small Chen Yan's odds of winning were, or how high the probability of Chi Xue killing Chen Yan was.

But now, Chen Yan was breaking realms, and Great Xia was struggling with their lives.

They would also be nervous and wary.

Soon, no one was discussing it anymore.

Everyone began to struggle to climb the steps.

Instead, there were very few people paying attention to that Six-Path All-Rounder who was still climbing the steps.

Because, the advancement was too slow.

This All-Talent of the Six Paths has been here for so long, yet he is still on the tenth step.

Although it is stable, it is also too slow.

But Chen Yan is enjoying it.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm, a vast amount of golden light gathered, having long since condensed a brand-new 【Technique】 Saint-Breaking Fruit for Chen Yan.

But Chen Yan did not consume it, because he was completely focused on the battle at hand, not even noticing the changes in the Saint-Breaking Fruit.

The realm-breaking continued.

The Martial Dao continued to fuse.

Chen Yan, focused on perceiving his physical body, was now like someone entering an uninhabited realm; no one could disturb him.

Until finally, no one paid any attention to this All-Talent of the Six Paths anymore.

An All-Talent of the Six Paths should have been someone who amazed everyone, but this one gave people a feeling of mediocrity and twilight.

Only within the palace high above.

The expression of the woman wearing the ten-colored fairy dress grew increasingly poor.

"He actually doesn't care about the Heavenly Gang Imperial Body at all."

The woman was quite irritable.

The 【Heavenly Gang Imperial Body】 was a body technique created by countless humans over tens of thousands of years in the ancient era, which could allow one to perceive the true essence of the physical body.

But Chen Yan did not learn it at all.

Everyone thought this All-Talent of the Six Paths was progressing too slowly.

But she knew that this All-Talent of the Six Paths was currently breaking his limits.

Not only was he breaking his limits, he was also fusing his Martial Dao.

"How many years has it been since I perceived the outside world? How did such an existence suddenly appear?"

The woman wearing the ten-colored fairy dress reached out a snow-white, slender hand to her brow and rubbed it.

What has happened to this world?

Could it be that the era has arrived where the fate of the human race must be decided?

Time passed slowly.

Another hour went by.

The Creation Realm powerhouses of the five clans who were still climbing the steps finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It should be over, right?" Someone exhaled a breath of turbid air.

For a full hour, there had been no low humming of the rules.

Chen Yan's realm-breaking should be over.

Breaking through the Creation Realm thirty-two times is quite outrageous.

Someone nodded.

It should be over.

The Creation Realm powerhouses of the five clans felt like they were holding their breath; they really had no way to mock an existence who could break through the Creation Realm thirty-two times.

The Creation Realm powerhouses of the Great Xia could not laugh either.

After all, the Domain War had not yet begun, and they were also worried.

It was right at this moment.

Suddenly, someone looked down.

"Huh, he actually hasn't been eliminated yet."

Someone noticed that All-Talent of the Six Paths who was still climbing the steps; he was still fighting on the tenth step at this moment.

Someone exclaimed in surprise:

"An hour ago, I felt like he couldn't hold on anymore, yet an hour later, he is still here."

On the twenty-fourth step.

Chen Mi, wrapped in black mist, glanced at the All-Talent of the Six Paths below and did not care.

What he cared about were those few who were climbing faster than him.

The one in first place had already reached the twenty-eighth step.

On the twenty-sixth step, there was also one, who seemed to be some genius from the Great Xia.

On the twenty-fifth step, there were actually two more.

Chen Mi's state of mind was not very good.

He was first on the Creation Realm Ranking, yet here he could only rank fifth.

He was somewhat unwilling.

"Chen Yan is no longer a concern and will surely die; I must break my limits and reach the eighth stage!"

Chen Mi whispered in his heart and clenched his fists.

Breaking limits!

Only by breaking limits would he truly transcend.

Once Chen Yan died, if he broke his limits and entered the eighth stage.

Then his reputation would overshadow Chen Yan and overshadow everyone else.

He would reclaim the glory that belonged to him.

What Chen Mi found most irritating was that as the first on the Creation Realm Ranking, his level of attention was not as high as Chen Yan's, or even Chi Xue's.

He was looking forward to when Lu Wuyi would send him the Myriad Manifestation Diagram of Dao Enlightenment.

As for the twenty-fifth step.

Chen Changyuan was shrouded in black mist, his brows furrowed.

"I have already prepared to annihilate him, yet he finds it difficult even to walk before me."

Chen Changyuan was very dissatisfied.

He had obtained a fortuitous encounter in the Blood Sea of Eroding Moon, a fortuitous encounter arranged for him by the Ancient Dream Divine Beast before its death.

He had already prepared to annihilate Chen Yan, to annihilate this fated enemy of his.

But Chen Yan was about to initiate a domain war against a Level 2 domain.

"Forget it, if you die prematurely, perhaps..."

Chen Changyuan whispered.

So what if Chen Yan had broken through the realm thirty-two times to enter the Creation Realm?

That was still the early stage of the Creation Realm; how could he battle a Level 2 domain?

He had never underestimated Chen Yan.

It was just that a Level 2 domain was too strong.

Yet at this very moment.

Boom!

A low hum of laws slowly resonated.

In an instant.

All the Creation Realm cultivators on the battle platforms were stunned in unison.

A powerful Creation Realm expert of the Five Clans spoke with difficulty:

"What on earth is he doing? Why is he doing it again?"
