Chapter 629: The Great World Cannot Be Reversed!

The great battle continues.

Chen Yan's side maintains a steady suppression, but after charging out ten thousand miles, Qi Fan and the others advance no further; instead, they act like a giant wall, blocking all the attacking enemies.

Everyone knows clearly that the center of the true battlefield is Chen Yan.

Once they are too far from Chen Yan, it will also give Chi Xue an opportunity to strike.

On the branch of an ancient tree, the smile at the corners of Chi Xue's mouth grows less frequent, and his gaze grows colder, yet the trace of madness in the depths of his eyes grows ever more intense.

Chen Yan's arrangements leave him shocked.

Yes, shocked!

He never imagined that even without Chen Yan making a move himself, his subordinates could completely hold their own against the Dark-Devouring Brood Mother army.

He leans back against the tree trunk behind him, one leg dangling casually, and another orange appears in his hand as he stuffs the segments into his mouth to chew.

The next moment, he jumps down directly, landing in the high air about fifty meters from the ground, head hanging low, walking toward Qi Fan and his group, unhurried and slow.

His long red robes move without wind, and his pitch-black long hair obscures his line of sight.

Yet the scarlet gaze flickering from behind those strands of hair brings a strong sense of oppression to everyone.

Immediately, two pistols appear in Chi Xue's hands, and crimson smoke slowly drifts from the muzzles, as if they were mysterious sparks from another world.

He walks just like this, with puppets appearing behind him, following him closely.

As he slowly lifts his head, his long hair drifting on both sides of his cheeks, his scarlet eyes seem to condense with endless malice and terror, staring directly at everyone.

Qi Fan lifts his hand slightly, his expression turning grave.

Chi Xue is about to join the battle.

Qi Fan looks around; until now, the true form of the Dark-Devouring Mother Tree has not appeared.

This is the existence everyone values most.

Everyone must admit that the current Chi Xue is more dangerous than the so-called number one on the Creation Realm Ranking, Chen Mi, and more dangerous than the so-called Chen Changyuan, whose progress is strange.

Relying on himself, he has mastered such a massive force.

If Chi Xue does not die, once he leaves the Five Clans Conflict, he will also be a great enemy of the Great Xia.

And it is at this very moment.

Behind.

Where Chen Yan is, the earth cracks again, roaring, as ten thousand vines condensed from malice surge from below to surround and kill Chen Yan.

Qi Fan and the others turn their heads instantly, their pupils shrinking.

This is a scene exactly the same as before.

For a moment, they do not know if it is real or fake.

But Chen Yan, sitting steadily on his throne, lifts his hand slightly.

The next moment, the vines disappear again, and the earth beneath Chen Yan's feet has never cracked.

Another illusion.

Qi Fan and the others frown; what is Chi Xue trying to do?

One illusion is fine, but twice is pointless.

As Chi Xue walks.

Rumble!!!

Where Chen Yan is, the earth collapses, and countless pitch-black vines burst out again; on every vine, dense dark-red eyeballs light up, and every eyeball reflects Chen Yan's figure.

Qi Fan and the others' hearts jump violently, but Chen Yan remains calm throughout.

Everyone breathes a sigh of relief, knowing this is another illusion.

"Damn it, if you want to fight, then fight, what exactly are you doing?!"

A Great Xia Creation Realm cultivator roars.

Repeated illusion attacks, even though everyone knows they are fake.

But with their attention pulled away time and again, and their nerves tightened repeatedly, it still brings a powerful sense of oppression to everyone.

Boom!!!

The roaring from behind sounds again, and Ke Qingxuan bites her teeth tight; when she looks toward the back, she indeed sees the scene of the earth collapsing and vines surrounding and killing Chen Yan.

The next moment, the illusion disappears again.

Following this, Chi Xue draws near.

One after another, identical illusions appear.

Lu Jingqiu's face turns somewhat pale, and sweat beads on her forehead.

Now, she finally understands Chi Xue's intention.

Although childish, it is very effective.

Repeatedly creating the illusion for everyone that Chen Yan is being attacked by the Dark-Devouring Mother Tree, causing everyone's emotions to fluctuate and their moods to become restless over and over again.

The more this happens, the less everyone can fight seriously, and the fear of Chi Xue and the Dark-Devouring Mother Tree will grow higher and higher.

"Do not pay attention to the back," Qi Fan shouts in a low voice:

"Do your own jobs!"

His voice falls, and everyone nods, their faces showing anger.

Chi Xue is fooling everyone.

Creating illusions is the method of the Dark-Devouring Brood Mother, and now it is being utilized to the extreme by the opponent.

Added to the fact that Chi Xue is about to arrive, this undoubtedly gives everyone an extremely heavy pressure.

Rumble!!!

The battle between the two sides continues, with shouts of killing, sounds of collisions, and roars interweaving together.

The next moment.

As Chi Xue lifted a foot.

Boom!

The void seemed to be struck by a giant mountain, emitting an extremely muffled sound, as billows of mist rolled up from beneath Chi Xue's sole.

Accompanying this, a ripple of spatial fluctuation spread out.

The space in front of a Great Xia Creation Realm expert fluctuated violently, and Qi Fan and the others flew over instantly.

In front of that Great Xia Creation Realm expert, a circular portal had already appeared; on the other side of the portal, Chi Xue had already raised a handgun, a point of scarlet light condensing at the muzzle.

As he pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Boom!

That Great Xia Creation Realm expert's head instantly exploded.

Qi Fan's pupils constricted, and in the next instant, extreme rage erupted; his long hair billowed, his Qi and blood roared like thunder, and streams of Qi and blood light surged crazily from his entire body.

He was furious.

He had long since studied that for Chi Xue to cast a spatial array on others, he needed to secretly set up a spatial array on that person in advance.

That person's body had clearly been tampered with by Chi Xue long ago; Qi Fan had not expected that Chi Xue would only use it now.

For such a long time, they had actually not noticed at all that there was a problem with that person's body.

Was Chi Xue showing off?

"Chi Xue, come and fight!!!!"

Qi Fan roared and threw a punch; his body shattered the void, and the phantom of a massive bronze tripod spanned the heavens, crashing toward Chi Xue.

"Kill!!!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Roars rang out one after another.

The Great Xia Creation Realm experts were all furious and bellowed, turning into streams of light as they charged toward Chi Xue's side.

The next instant.

Drip.

The sound of a water droplet rang through the heavens and earth.

At the very back, not far from Chen Yan, a drop of pitch-black viscous liquid suddenly dripped down from the high sky.

The viscous liquid streaked across the void and landed on the void level with Chen Yan's feet, rapidly turning into a black lake.

In the center of the black mist, the pitch-black liquid surged and bulged, transforming into a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a black dress.

She emerged from the surging black liquid; on her face, pale as cold jade, two winding black patterns spread from her temples across her cheekbones, and she had a pair of long, narrow phoenix eyes, her lips as vibrant as congealed blood.

She appeared silently, to the point that even Qi Fan and the others did not notice.

On the throne, Chen Yan looked toward the other party, his pupils constricting.

A thick malice, terrifying to the extreme, instantly engulfed where Chen Yan was.

The next moment, the woman slowly raised her hand toward Chen Yan, her slender, pitch-black index finger aimed at Chen Yan.

Thump~

The next instant, the tip of this finger was already pressed against Chen Yan's heart.

At this moment.

Time seemed to have stopped completely.

While Qi Fan and the others were still charging toward Chi Xue.

While billions of Evil Void Spores were still clashing endlessly in the ocean of pitch-black vines.

While on the hillside, Chi Yuexi's pupils shrank abruptly.

While in a distant place, Chen Yu's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

While the woman's fingertip pressed against Chen Yan's chest began to squirm, countless malicious creatures parasitic beneath her skin instantly attacked from the other party's fingertip.

They surged and swept across Chen Yan's chest, like a blooming pitch-black demonic flower.

Crack, crack, crack, crack!!!

A massive roaring sound shook the heavens and earth.

The billions of pitch-black malicious creatures suddenly expanded and grew violently; countless pitch-black vines began to grow crazily with Chen Yan as the center.

Extending in an instant, these vines pierced into the earth and blasted into the high sky.

When Qi Fan and the others looked back again, they were all stunned.

They saw.

Where Chen Yan had been, it had now turned into a pitch-black giant tree with a diameter of one kilometer and a height of several dozen miles.

This giant tree appeared in human form, composed of countless intertwined vines; its feet were deeply embedded in the earth, and its hands reached toward the high sky, as if wailing toward the vault of heaven.

In the center of the trunk, a distorted human face screaming in terror was visible.

A change in an instant.

Chen Yan was gone.

What appeared was that towering giant tree.

The methods of an Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beast are unimaginable.

Quiet.

Everything had quieted down.

Chi Xue stood where she was, raised her head, her eyes indifferent.

Qi Fan opened his mouth, his entire body frozen in place.

They had prepared so much, for so long, yet all the changes happened in a single instant.

Before they could even react, Chen Yan had already been suppressed and killed.

All the Great Xia Creation Realm experts widened their eyes, looking at this scene in disbelief, unable to believe it.

In an instant, it was as if endless thunder was roaring in their minds.

This scene was presented before their eyes with blinding clarity.

"Chen Yan?" Ke Qingxuan murmured in a daze.

Yet there was absolutely no response at all.

…………

On the distant hillside.

Chi Yuexi's eyes were wide open; she simply could not believe everything that had happened in this scene.

Chen Yan died?

How could Chen Yan possibly have died just like this?

He could even defeat the Malice Rule, so how could he have died like this?

How exactly did that Dark-Devouring Mother Tree cast an illusion on everyone, and how did it arrive at Chen Yan's side without a sound?

Everyone simply did not understand.

Yu Qing's red lips also parted, somewhat unable to believe it.

Everything had changed too rapidly.

Too fast.

A matter of an instant.

It suddenly ended up like this.

That Great Xia Divine General, who stood as firm as a mountain, was just like that suppressed and killed by an Eighth-Order Ancient God Beast?

In an instant, their hearts were shaken.

Perhaps, Chi Xue's series of actions were all to pave the way for this moment.

When everyone thought the Eighth-Order Ancient God Beast would only create illusions, the opponent arrived directly.

Qi Fan and the others had already prepared for a life-and-death battle with Chi Xue, but they had not expected such a turn of events.

At the cliffside.

Yin Qingshuang, Zhang Ting, and others were also watching the real-time projected image.

"This... this is fake!"

Someone let out a low roar.

"An Eighth-Order Ancient God Beast..."

Someone raised their head and let out a long, complex sigh.

"After so many years in Great Xia, it was so hard to finally wait for a Chen Yan."

Someone could not believe it, tears actually falling from the corners of their eyes.

They had been watching the battle the whole time, and even though they saw Chen Yan's army suppressing everything along the way, they were clear.

The true source of pressure was that Eighth-Order Ancient God Beast.

The Eighth-Order Ancient God Beast was a great mountain pressing down on everyone's hearts.

They did not know how Chen Yan would face or resolve the moment the Eighth-Order Ancient God Beast arrived.

What means did Chen Yan actually have to suppress an Eighth-Order Ancient God Beast?

Yet this Eighth-Order Ancient God Beast arrived so abruptly.

Powerful, eerie, and unstoppable.

"We... are all sinners."

A Creation Realm expert hung their head, their face pale.

Were they not, in fact, sinners?

Everyone understood that their mission was to assist in Chen Yan's rise.

Yet, what were they doing now?

Watching the battle?

After the Domain War opened, they were completely unable to participate or join in; they could only watch.

"We... are the sinners of this era."

"Great Xia cannot wait for the birth of another Chen Yan."

"Only by meeting our deaths can we wash away our crimes."

"The path of the human race is always rugged and uneven; only by passing on the torch can a seed be preserved for the future."

Yin Qingshuang was lost in a daze.

Zhang Ting could not believe it; even he clenched his fists.

It was not Chen Yan's fault for losing.

It was that the Eighth-Order Ancient God Beast was too powerful.

That woman in the black dress stood there, a trace of a mocking smile on her lips.

She said nothing, but in a single instant, she destroyed all of everyone's preparations.

As if to say.

To kill you is so easy.

Even though everyone had long since anticipated this outcome.

Yet when this outcome appeared, it still made everyone afraid to acknowledge it.

"Truly lost."

Wearing battle armor, Yu Ming sighed softly; he was also one of the culprits who caused Chen Yan's death.

Because he had cooperated with Chi Xue.

He knew Chen Yan was an enemy, but he also felt conflicted because of Chen Yan's death.

"This person was clearly a flame that could illuminate the future of the human race, a monument on the path of Will."

Yu Ming lit a cigarette, his eyes heavy.

With Chen Yan dead, it meant the last chance for the entire final Great Xia had slipped away, and it meant the future landscape of the human race would change completely.

The other party had appeared too abruptly.

Just like a tree growing against the current in the already established torrent of history.

Wishing to use their own flesh and blood to interfere with the changes in the grand trend.

But now, they were still crushed by the endless grand trend.

Xia Weimin was such a person, Lu Xunyang was such a person, and Xia Qi was as well.

They all failed.

Now, Chen Yan was also going to fail.

"The grand era cannot be reversed..."

Yu Ming exhaled blue smoke; even as a member of the Yu Clan, he did not approve of the Five Clans' plan.

He had always believed that malice was the true enemy of the human race.

Even if the Five Clans breached Great Xia and castrated Great Xia, it would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

All are human, all are mankind, all are survivors of the grand era; why must there be infighting?

He actually also hoped that there truly was an extraordinary person who could change the grand era.

Therefore, he did not personally attend the battle between Chen Yan and the Thousand-Face Corridor.

Therefore, he only appeared to make a contract with Chen Yan, while actually making concessions in secret.

His dream was the sea of stars, not human infighting.

However, Chen Yan lost.

Yu Ming was extremely irritated; he stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and let out a low roar:

"The grand era cannot be reversed!"
