Chapter 630: The Battle of the Eighth Rank!

Yu Ming stood up, the last shred of luck in his heart vanished, and he looked at Yin Qingshuang and the others, murderous intent emerging in his eyes.

With Chen Yan dead, he had no other choice.

He gave a bitter smile.

Today, he would slaughter Yin Qingshuang and the others, walking a path toward the total annihilation of Great Xia.

Yin Qingshuang looked coldly at Yu Ming, blood-Qi overflowing from her physical body, already prepared for a fight to the death.

Chen Yan was dead; she had no reason to continue leading Great Xia's Creation Realm to build up strength.

She would destroy Yu Ming right here.

…………

Amidst the endless silence, only the woman in the black dress had a trace of a smile at the corners of her mouth, walking around the pitch-black ancient tree beside her.

Her slender fingertips brushed against the trunk, and within her pitch-black eyes, it seemed as if countless alien lives were brewing.

"So this is a human Divine General?"

Her vermilion lips parted slightly, and as she walked, black vines grew beneath her feet, piercing into the earth.

"Boring, how boring."

The woman yawned out of boredom and cast a charming glance at Chi Xue:

"He is dead; lift the seal, I want to eat you."

Her scarlet tongue licked her lips, and the depths of the woman's eyes surged with an endless desire for life.

At the same time.

"Heh heh..."

Chi Xue suddenly laughed.

The woman frowned:

"What are you laughing at?"

"Heh heh heh heh............" Chi Xue laughed out loud, tears even appearing at the corners of his eyes.

Anger appeared on the woman's face:

"What exactly are you laughing at?"

"I am laughing because he should have discovered that you had already appeared; why didn't he..."

Chi Xue wiped away his tears, and the next moment, he raised his head:

"The first round, I lost."

His eyes became incomparably gloomy.

Everything he had done was to make Chen Yan use the Divine Armor on his body prematurely.

Although he still did not know the function of the Heavenly Divine Armor even now.

But he knew the function of Lu Xunyang's Divine Armor.

Chen Yan's Heavenly Divine Armor would only be more powerful than Lu Xunyang's, which was also something Chi Xue had always been wary of.

Yet until now, Chen Yan had not activated the Heavenly Divine Armor.

That meant that in the contest of the first round, Chi Xue had lost.

His eyes became incomparably fierce, and he suddenly looked at Qi Fan and the others:

"Chen Yan, did he not tell you his plan in advance?"

A rare trace of anger appeared in his eyes.

He was truly capable of judging a person's psychology through their facial expressions.

Yet, for so long, he had not seen a single trace of anomaly on the faces of Qi Fan and the others.

Now, despair was clearly written on the faces of Qi Fan and the others.

That was the despair born from seeing Chen Yan being ambushed and killed by an Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beast.

Chi Xue did not believe that Chen Yan would fail so easily.

The black-dressed woman furrowed her brows, looking coldly at Chi Xue at this moment.

She had always thought that Chi Xue considered Chen Yan too formidable.

She was an Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beast; why be so cautious when dealing with someone who had just entered the Creation Realm?

It was precisely at this moment.

Inside the massive Magnetic Storm Thunder Prison.

Within a room, golden-red light intertwined, and the Will Divine Body sat cross-legged in silence, slowly opening its eyes; its eyes, like two great suns, seemed to see through every crisis.

The next instant.

A remote control appeared in the Will Divine Body's hand, and it clicked the start switch.

Chen Yan had always known one thing.

That was that the goal of Chi Xue and the Dark-Devouring Mother Nest would only be him.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Chen Yan was in the light, and the Dark-Devouring Mother Nest was in the dark.

The moment Chen Yan used himself as bait to lure out the Dark-Devouring Mother Tree was the true moment the great battle began.

The one in the outside world was Chen Yan's physical body, and the one inside the Magnetic Storm Thunder Prison was Chen Yan's Will Divine Body.

From the outside, it appeared that Chen Yan had been dominating the battlefield.

But the true hidden move had always been the Will Divine Body still inside the Magnetic Storm Thunder Prison.

After Chen Yan activated the Yu Clan technology, Chi Xue would definitely have the Dark-Devouring Mother Tree come to ambush Chen Yan within thirty minutes.

Because Chi Xue knew that the charging time for Yu Clan technology was thirty minutes.

But he did not know that Chen Yan controlled the energy field and could shorten this charging time to under ten minutes.

The remote control held by Chen Yan's physical body was, in fact, a fake.

The one who had been controlling the remote all along was Chen Yan's Will Divine Body.

The outside world.

Boom!

A laser turret that had finished charging instantly spat out terrifying energy.

A beam of incandescent white light descended in an instant.

In a split second, the black-skirted woman's pupils constricted.

Screech!

She let out a sharp hiss, grabbed with one hand, and countless pitch-black vines surged out from her black sleeves, colliding toward that beam of light.

This was something that happened in an instant.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

Seven laser turrets from all directions roared in unison.

Screech!!!

The black-skirted woman hissed, her pupils turning fierce in an instant, and countless pitch-black vines grew and erupted from her physical body, forming layer upon layer of vine barriers.

The next instant.

The incandescent white beam tore through the sky, piercing through the vine barrier condensed by the Dark-Devouring Mother Tree like a spear of judgment.

Countless pitch-black fragments splattered, and layer after layer of black vines crumbled inch by inch under the impact of the light beam.

Crack!

The lightning-ball creatures and spider-type mechanical bodies lurking near the Magnetic Storm Thunder Prison suddenly surged!

Two thousand lightning balls transformed into a gale of electric light, enveloping Evil Void Spores as they pounced toward the black-skirted woman.

Then.

Self-destruct!!!

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

A series of roars resounded instantly, and electric light flashed.

Bolts of explosive lightning were born, converged, dispersed, and expanded crazily.

All the vines began to shatter, and even the sky-piercing giant tree that wrapped around Chen Yan's physical body was blasted with giant craters, flames shooting out.

Every lightning ball carried Evil Void Spores when it self-destructed, and the corrosive plasma adhered to the vines, gnawing at them frantically.

This scene happened extremely abruptly.

The black-skirted woman's body flickered amidst the explosions, and scorched electric marks were blasted all over her.

"Damn it!!!"

She hissed ferociously and was about to fly toward the high sky when hundreds of lightning-ball creatures were already waiting above, exploding crazily.

Countless bolts of electric fire suppressed downward; the black-skirted woman thrust out her hands, tearing frantically, ripping the void itself open, and countless vines were born from her physical body, flying toward the left.

"Deceitful!!!"

The woman shrieked, realizing at this moment that she had been tricked.

She was about to fly toward the left.

Twenty spider-type mechanical bodies unfolded their alloy limbs, and cannon muzzles protruded from their abdomens.

The next instant, beams of blue-purple light poured down like a rainstorm, sealing off the woman's retreat.

Beams of light bombarded her physical body; on her, the black skirt surged, and countless drops of pitch-black viscous liquid were actually blasted out.

At the same time.

The golden light flow from the satellite cannon platform poured down from the firmament, and eight torrents of destruction wove into a net.

Arriving in an instant!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

Explosion, explosion, explosion!

Endless firelight and lightning light drowned everything.

The sky-piercing giant tree that had been born shattered at the center of the firelight and collapsed with a crash.

The entire world seemed as if it were about to fall into this endless explosion.

This scene happened too suddenly.

Whether it was Qi Fan and the others, or Chen Yu, or even Yin Qingshuang and the others who were still watching the battle from the cliff, they had all been in pain and anger just a moment ago.

Now, however, they were witnessing this sudden change.

Rumble!!!

At this moment, the world was left with nothing but endless explosions.

An incandescent white fireball with a diameter of over a hundred miles rose at the heart of the explosion, swallowing the sky-piercing giant tree, the vines, the woman, and everything within the blast wind.

Layer upon layer of shockwaves trampled the earth like an invisible giant god, and the rock strata for over a thousand miles were lifted layer by layer, turning into a rain of debris that blotted out the sky and sun.

The air twisted and collapsed, forming cracks of vacuum.

The firmament was forcibly torn open with countless pitch-black scars!

Everything was destroyed in the explosion, and everything disappeared in the explosion.

Chi Xue narrowed his eyes, the shockwave wind coming from over ten thousand kilometers away blowing back his long hair.

The endless firelight reflected in his pupils, making them appear even more scarlet.

It seemed he had been deceived again.

Wasn't it said that those laser turrets and the satellite cannon platform required thirty minutes to charge each time?

Did Yu Qing deceive him?

No.

Yu Qing did not have the ability to deceive him.

Only... Chen Yan had altered those twenty-plus pieces of Yu Clan technology.

Now.

Half of the lightning-ball creatures and spider-type mechanical bodies were bombarding the Dark-Devouring Mother Tree in a nearly self-destructive manner.

Added to this was the Yu Clan technology.

Even if the Dark-Devouring Mother Tree was an Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beast, it would be heavily wounded.

Chi Xue simply could not understand how Chen Yan had managed to deceive the Dark-Devouring Mother Tree.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"Chen Yan!!!"

Amidst the endless firelight, the scream of the Dark-Devouring Mother Tree even tore through the endless roar, filled with curses and fury.

She had been deceived; when she appeared beside Chen Yan, she had instead become the easiest target to attack.

Now, struck by a sudden assault amidst the endless explosions, her physical body was on the verge of disintegration.

"Chen... Chen Yan..."

Ke Qingxuan spoke in a daze, completely stunned by the scene before her.

Zhang Chao saw this scene with eyes brimming with hot tears; how could he not understand now?

"Hahahaha!!!"

Qi Fan laughed wildly:

"He even deceived me; he has been entering the game with his own body all along, all for this very moment!!!"

Hum!!!

At the center of the explosion, brilliant golden radiance masked the endless firelight.

A figure in pitch-black battle armor slowly emerged.

Chen Yan stood in the high sky, his Will Divine Body and original body once again united.

The blow from just a moment ago had not injured his physical body; instead, it had been directly suppressed by the Dark-Devouring Mother Tree within the Heaven-Propping Giant Tree.

The bombardment from the Yu Clan technology not only suppressed the Dark-Devouring Mother Tree but also shattered the Heaven-Propping Giant Tree that had been suppressing his physical body.

The pitch-black Ash-Evil Spear appeared in Chen Yan's hand, and as he swung the spear, an endless torrent of lightning roared into the center of the explosion.

Rumble!!!

Countless streaks of lightning poured out instantly, surrounding the center of the explosion, where countless particles were controlled by the lightning and suspended in the air.

His battle armor was mighty, with golden-red radiance like sun-plasma flowing over every inch of the armor's texture, extremely miraculous, wielding the lightning of heaven and earth, infinitely majestic!

His reappearance instantly caused the entire battlefield to boil over.

"Today, execute the rebels and fight for the human race!!!"

Chen Yan shouted in a low voice, his voice vibrating and resounding through the nine heavens.

Qi Fan's long hair flew, revealing a look of wild joy at this moment, and the next, endless fighting spirit erupted from the depths of his eyes.

"Kill!!!"

Zhang Chao and the others all soared into the air, turning into streaks of light as they flew toward Chi Xue and the others.

"Execute the rebels!"

"Execute the rebels!"

"Execute the rebels!!!"

Roars resounded one after another, and everyone was stirred to a frenzy.

"Longevity Ten-Thousand-Year Cauldron!"

Qi Fan threw a punch, and the shadow of a bronze cauldron appeared.

Beneath the phantom of the great cauldron, a curve appeared at the corner of Chi Xue's mouth; his body arched, with his dual spears held behind him.

"Godly Shot!"

As Chi Xue swung his arms, the moment the dual spears were aimed at Qi Fan, two purple beams of light shot out instantly from the muzzles.

Boom!!!

The great cauldron collided with the spear light, exploding into countless shards of light.

"Chi Xue!"

A low voice resounded from the center of the explosion.

Chi Xue slammed a leg into Qi Fan's arm, his eyes narrowing as he listened to this voice.

Yet he saw that person speak, filled with endless dominance.

"If you have exhausted everything and still don't have the ability to reach my side, you are too weak."

This voice entered his ears, grating and harsh, and Chi Xue was taken aback.

"I know..." Chi Xue whispered, chuckling.

The next moment.

With a boom.

A leg-drop from Qi Fan slammed into Chi Xue's neck, instantly blasting Chi Xue down to the earth.

Chi Xue flew out from the giant crater in the earth, disheveled, shaking the dirt and dust from his hair:

"I know, I know."

PS: Writing a bit less; this plot segment is quite important, and I want to write the slaying of an Eighth-Rank with a cinematic feel.

I feel like I need to study the dialogue and storyboarding a bit, and I also need to get a better handle on the sense of imagery, (although, I might not be able to write it well).
