Chapter 635: The Eighth Rank Falls, Heaven and Earth Weep Blood!

Yet, at this very instant.

Behind the woman in the black dress, one of the four discs composed of countless vines fully materialized.

It did not look like a disc, but rather a large drum woven from vines.

The woman in the black dress had an indifferent gaze; looking straight at this strike from Chen Yan, she spoke indifferently:

"End-Deprivation!"

The next instant.

Boom!!!

That newly materialized large drum suddenly roared, heavy, eerie, carrying wave after wave of sonic attacks.

This low, deep drum sound instantly swept across thousands and tens of thousands of miles.

A strange sensation emerged; it was as if Chen Yan's physical body had been pierced through by something invisible.

And in Chen Yan's hand, the 【Blood Domain World-Reversal】 condensed upon the sharp awl suddenly became transparent and incomparably weak.

Chen Yan's body appeared to undergo an extremely strange and violent change at this moment, one he could not adapt to for a time.

The next moment.

Boom!

The woman in the black dress kicked Chen Yan's abdomen, sending him flying.

As Chen Yan's body was still flying backward, a deep sense of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

His blood-essence power had vanished completely.

The moment that large drum sounded, all of Chen Yan's blood-essence power disappeared, suppressed.

This directly deprived Chen Yan of his combat methods and a portion of his battle strength.

This was yet another means of rule-based combat.

But, at the same time, a strange feeling emerged from within Chen Yan's heart.

That is, his blood-essence power had not completely dissipated at this moment; in the gap between his body and the Heavenly God Armor, there remained a trace of the thunderous blood-essence Chen Yan had just unleashed.

This was extremely normal; when a martial artist unleashes a blood-essence martial technique, it is inevitable that some excess blood-essence will leak out.

Just like splashing water, there will always be a few droplets left in the basin.

This trace of thunderous blood-essence was extremely faint and would not have any impact on the battle at all, but it caused Chen Yan to develop a sliver of doubt.

That is, a doubt regarding this rule.

And at this very instant.

Above Chen Yan, the woman in the black dress appeared and slashed at him with her blade.

With a flash of Chen Yan's intent, dozens of awl-spikes struck out, surrounding him and erupting with billions of Evil Void Spores.

【Evil Void Resonance】, activate!

The Evil Void Spores combined with the power of will, launching a terrifying consciousness attack against the woman in the black dress.

Sure enough, the speed of the woman in the black dress slowed for an instant.

Chen Yan adjusted his body and pointed a finger at the woman in the black dress.

【Condensed Radiance Style】!

Ssh!

A searing white laser pierced toward her forehead; the woman in the black dress broke free from the consciousness attack and hurriedly dodged, but her temple was still pierced, leaving a bloody mark.

Boom boom!!!

Chen Yan struck with both fists in succession, his physical body evolving the 【Meteor Peak Style】, his own universe vibrating as all his force surged into his two fists.

Crack crack crack crack!!

The void shattered like jade, and waves of force impacts collided with the body of the woman in the black dress.

【Shattered Jade Style】!

Two sunken fist marks were beaten into the body of the woman in the black dress; the next moment, she slashed at Chen Yan's neck, and a black ring struck out.

"Dark Devour-Sudden Arrival!"

Chen Yan hurriedly turned to the side, but his shoulder blade was still struck by this blow, and blood sprayed wildly.

The Heavenly God Armor was slashed open, but it began to recover once more.

But in this mere instant, the woman in the black dress had already unleashed a terrifying malice attack, pouring it through the breach in the Heavenly God Armor.

Hum!!!

A blinding golden-red radiance bloomed instantly; at this moment, Chen Yan was about to erupt with all the power of will within his physical body, as dazzling as a great sun hanging in the sky.

Under the shroud of the Heavenly God Armor, all the injuries on Chen Yan's body were recovering to the extreme at this moment.

His power of will had been severely suppressed, and what was erupting now was Chen Yan's final power of will.

Once it was completely exhausted, it would be difficult for Chen Yan to unleash the power of will ever again.

Chen Yan did not intend to drag this out.

Behind, the first large drum began to wither after it had sounded, and the second large drum began to be born.

Chen Yan had no time left.

The duration of the Heavenly God Armor had only forty seconds remaining.

Inside the Heavenly God Armor, where Chen Yan's index finger touched the armor, endless force and the radiance of will condensed, shrank, and transformed into a pitch-black point of light.

【Control Decay-Sacred Condensation Origin】!

However, this pitch-black point of light was in the interlayer of the battle armor, and it could not be seen from the outside at all.

In the 【Blood Battle State】, Chen Yan had once again condensed a pitch-black point of light.

An extremely tiny one, yet it consumed the final half of Chen Yan's power of will.

Screech!!!

The woman in the black dress let out a sharp shriek; being struck head-on by such a majestic power of will, even she, an eighth-rank Ancient Divine Beast, was in extreme pain.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

On her face, the skin and flesh began to crack and burn as if scorched by fire, emitting wisps of green smoke.

Her arms, her neck, all of her skin was being charred by the power of will.

Intense pain pierced into the depths of her heart.

Screech!!!

The woman in the black dress let out a shrill hiss.

This was the most terrifying thing she had ever encountered.

In this instant, it felt as if she had fallen into the sun!

"Die!"

Chen Yan's gaze turned ruthless; with a violent roar, he seized the opportunity and threw a punch at that very moment.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

Fist shadows were unleashed by Chen Yan one after another, all of his physical strength exerted to the extreme at this moment.

【Condensing Radiance Style】!

【Heaven-Splitting Style】!

【Jade-Crushing Style】!

【Void-Breaking - Saint Explosion】!

【Red Heart Fist】!

The void was continuously collapsing, and waves of golden light erupted completely from Chen Yan's physical body.

His blood-Qi power had indeed been suppressed.

However, Chen Yan's greatest strength now lay in his physical cultivation path, having birthed his own universe and mastered the aura of life and destruction.

Boom!!!

Chen Yan smashed the woman in the black dress into the ground with one punch, shattering the earth in ring after ring.

Thirty-five seconds left!

Bang!

Chen Yan drove a knee into the chest of the woman in the black dress and grabbed with one hand, causing a spike transformed from the Ember Evil Spear to appear in his hand.

The surging Immortal Will began to burn at the tip of the spike, and countless rotating golden streams of light flowed within the void.

The next moment, the spike stabbed down toward the forehead of the woman in the black dress.

"Die!!!"

Chen Yan roared violently.

In this instant.

Everyone watching the battle had their mouths wide open.

Indescribable emotions surged within their hearts.

"A Creation Realm is going to slay an eighth-rank!!!"

Chi Yuexi let out a scream, her entire face completely tensed up.

"Creation Realm slaying..."

Yu Qing's complexion had turned completely deathly pale, her body stiff; something beyond comprehension was about to happen before her eyes.

It was not just slaying an eighth-rank.

It was slaying an eighth-rank Ancient Divine Beast.

This would be a monument in the history of the human race.

Heavens!

What had she just seen?!

At the same time, facing this strike stabbed by Chen Yan.

The woman in the black dress widened her eyes, her already charred eyes erupting with endless malice.

The next moment, she shrieked and roared:

"Deprive!!!"

Thud!!!

The sound of a great drum booming resonated from behind.

Chen Yan's body paused, and he once again felt a formless power pass through his body.

With a whoosh.

The last trace of will power within Chen Yan's body was completely suppressed, and even the golden-red light on the spike instantly dissipated.

But the spike still stabbed down.

With a crack.

The sharp spike pierced into the right eye of the woman in the black dress, first shattering the eyeball, then the lacrimal bone, just as it was about to blast into her brain.

With a boom.

Chen Yan was kicked away by the woman in the black dress.

With a splat!!!

A black blade slashed out, and a pitch-black ring of light sliced across Chen Yan's left arm.

With a crash!!!

Chen Yan's severed arm was still flying, wrapped in the scales of his battle armor, moving toward Chen Yan.

The black-skirted woman's eyes were still gushing pitch-black viscous fluid, and she flicked one hand upward.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

Countless pitch-black vines erupted from the ground, wrapping around and suppressing the left arm that was about to fly toward Chen Yan.

There were only thirty seconds left until the 【Blood Battle State】 ended.

Chen Yan's body flew backward, and under the control of his intent, dozens of awl-spikes shot toward the black-skirted woman.

The black-skirted woman's gaze was icy, and she slashed repeatedly with her black blade.

Bang, bang, bang!!!

Flashes of fire flickered one after another.

Chen Yan adjusted his body and, the next moment, continued to charge toward the black-skirted woman; clearly, his ruse had succeeded.

His power of will was about to be exhausted, and since the black-skirted woman could deprive Chen Yan of his blood-Qi power, she could naturally also deprive him of his horizontal-refinement power.

Once his horizontal-refinement power was deprived, Chen Yan would be on a path to certain death.

Therefore, just now, Chen Yan burned his final power of will, making the black-skirted woman mistakenly believe that his greatest trump card was still his own power of will.

Precisely because of this, the black-skirted woman chose to suppress Chen Yan's Immortal Will at that very moment.

But there was one point that Chen Yan had noticed, which was that the power of will he had bestowed upon Qi Fan and the others had not been suppressed.

Moreover, the 【Imperial Decay-Holy Condensation Primordial】 located in the gap between Chen Yan's fingertips and the Heavenly God Armor had not disappeared either.

In other words, the black-skirted woman's so-called "deprivation" had significant limitations.

It was not a total deprivation, but a choice to deprive him of things she could see that could influence the outcome of the battle.

At this moment.

The two large drums that had already been struck had withered away.

A third large drum was rapidly taking shape.

Chen Yan grabbed with one hand, and a rapidly spinning wheel of light condensed in his palm.

"Collapse Jade Style!"

Sshhh!!!

The moment the wheel of light shattered the void and slashed toward the black-skirted woman, countless vines suddenly erupted from the earth beneath her, converging into a giant wall of vines that spanned heaven and earth.

Boom!!!

The wheel of light struck the giant wall of vines, carving out an opening.

Chen Yan's figure had already passed through the breach in the vines and appeared above the black-skirted woman's head, smashing down with a whip kick.

Accompanying this were thousands of Explosive Holy Light Orbs that condensed around Chen Yan in an instant.

"Void Breaking-Explosive Holy!"

Chen Yan let out a low shout.

The black-skirted woman shrieked, and she slashed her black blade toward Chen Yan's thigh.

This was a trade-blows-for-life style of fighting.

As the black blade cut into Chen Yan's leg, the thousands of Explosive Holy Light Orbs had also enveloped the black-skirted woman like a vast ocean.

The next instant.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

Terrifying explosive sounds rang out one after another.

Thousands of Explosive Holy Light Orbs detonated instantly on the black-skirted woman's body, and Chen Yan's left leg was severed in the process.

But Chen Yan did not pause at all; he rushed in front of the black-skirted woman in an instant and smashed out with his right fist.

Crack!!!

【Heaven Splitting Style】!

This punch slammed solidly into the opponent's chest.

Along with the shattering of the void, the black-skirted woman's chest was caved in by the blow.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

Dozens of awl-spikes transformed from the Cinder Evil Spears bombarded her again.

The black-skirted woman's pupils constricted, and she opened her mouth to shriek:

"Gah!!!!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Her body suddenly burst open, and countless vines were spat out from her mouth, intending to strangle Chen Yan to death completely.

The moment Chen Yan was wrapped by the vines, dozens of awl-spikes also pierced into the opponent's body.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!!!

Vine spikes pierced into Chen Yan's body one after another, and instantly, blood surged wildly from his entire body.

Chen Yan kicked out, a light orb formed at his toe and exploded again, turning into countless streams of light that shattered the countless vines attacking him.

【Void Breaking-Holy Condensation】!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

The vines shattered, and Chen Yan, covered in blood, hurriedly escaped.

As for the black-skirted woman, she was no better off than Chen Yan at this moment; her physical body had been pierced through by dozens of awl-spikes, and streams of pitch-black viscous fluid flowed out continuously.

She hunched her body, looking at Chen Yan with her single eye with extreme malice.

For a thousand, for ten thousand years.

She had never suffered such a heavy injury.

Continuously depriving and suppressing Chen Yan's abilities, her own combat power was also declining.

You utilize the rules, and the rules also require you to pay a price.

In fact, battling Chen Yan made her increasingly exhausted.

She suddenly thought of one thing.

That was that as an Ancient Divine Beast, she might also die.

No.

She would definitely die.

Even if Chen Yan could not kill her.

After the domain battle, the rest of the human race would also attack her upon seeing her in such a miserable state.

The rewards one could obtain for killing an Eighth-Rank Ancient Divine Beast were unimaginable.

She would certainly die.

But at this moment, as an Ancient Divine Beast, she did not choose to flee; instead, she charged rapidly toward Chen Yan.

From ancient times to the present, Ancient Divine Beasts have always been stronger among those of the same rank.

Yet today, as an Eighth-Rank Ancient Divine Beast, she had been beaten into such a state by the human Creation Realm practitioner Chen Yan.

Especially when suppressing the other party's power of will, that intense backlash left her astonished.

The person before her would overturn this malicious world.

Perhaps, at this very moment, it was when this human was at his weakest and most likely to perish.

On the other side of the land, Chen Yan coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood; within the bloody hole in his physical body, the blood simply could not be staunched.

Without the suppression of the power of will, the malice sought to erase Chen Yan's physical body.

There were only fifteen seconds left until the end of the 【Blood Battle State】.

But Chen Yan needed to adjust his physical body with all his might.

His physical body was like a powder keg, ready to detonate and collapse at any next instant.

Chen Yan gasped violently, using his internal force to suppress the malice within his body.

The sun set in the west.

Ten thousand rays of sunset glow plated a layer of scarlet on Chen Yan's cheeks.

Fifteen seconds.

Fourteen seconds.

Thirteen seconds.

Ten seconds.

Boom!

Chen Yan erupted!

At the same time, the black-skirted woman also attacked.

Both of them were already heavily injured, and their combat power was not even one-tenth of what it was at the start of the battle.

This meant that although they charged at each other with all their might, their speed was much slower than before.

In this battle, no one flinched, and no one stopped.

The earth shattered, and magma boiled and roared.

Black smoke and fire snakes intertwined and rose; the black smoke rolled upward, merging with the afterglow of the setting sun to form a twisted, pitch-black sky.

The next moment.

The two approached.

"Deprive!"

The black-skirted woman let out a low cry.

Dong!!!

A deep bell-like toll slowly resounded.

Clatter!

The Heavenly God Armor on Chen Yan's body was the target of her deprivation this time; it scattered, turning into countless armor fragments that fell from Chen Yan's broken body.

With a squelch.

The black-skirted woman's long blade had already pierced into Chen Yan's abdomen.

And it was at this very moment.

Chen Yan's punch had already arrived.

Boom!

This punch slammed into the black-skirted woman's chest, into the bloody hole pierced open by the spike.

But...

"Weak and powerless."

The black-skirted woman's gaze was indifferent as she looked at this human martial artist who had forced her into a life-or-death situation.

"You have lost."

With a clatter.

The black blade directly sliced open Chen Yan's abdomen and shoulder, and Chen Yan fell to the ground.

"Huff, ha..."

The black-skirted woman gasped violently; she had won, she had won.

She defended the dignity belonging to the ancient divine beast.

And at this very instant.

Hum...

A strange feeling emerged from the bottom of her heart.

The black-skirted woman's pupils constricted as she looked at her own chest, where a wisp of golden-red light spilled out from the bloody hole in her chest.

This was Chen Yan's final 【Royal Decay-Holy Condensation Primordial】.

The next moment!

Boom!!!

A violent explosion completely pierced through heaven and earth, the endless golden-red radiance rising like a newborn scorching sun above the earth.

Layer upon layer of explosive shockwaves spread out just like that.

Hum!!!

Suddenly.

Within the Five Clans Conflict, the firmament turned blood-red.

Outside.

Endless blood-colored light obscured heaven and earth.

Countless people opened their mouths wide, looking up at the high heavens.

Heaven and earth wept blood.

An Eighth Rank has fallen!
