Chapter 644: The Struggle of the Martial Dao

Boom, boom, boom!!!!

Explosions rang out incessantly upon Chen Yan's body.

The very instant his inner universes collided, they would directly explode.

Even though he had already smelted a sliver of True Martial Power, this sliver of True Martial Power was still far too minuscule compared to the two inner universes of martial arts.

Qi-Blood and Hard-Refining are fundamentally two extremes.

They may look similar in their trends, but everywhere there are contradictory rules.

It is hard to imagine that the Master of Hard-Refining and the Master of Qi-Blood are father and son.

They are more like enemies.

The rules of the Hard-Refining path are a total negation and total suppression of the Qi-Blood path.

"Could my idea be wrong?"

Cracks of blood spread across Chen Yan's face, only to be stubbornly repaired by his Immortal Will.

Chen Yan also began to doubt.

But this doubt had only just emerged before Chen Yan directly snuffed it out.

He allows others to negate him, but he must never negate himself.

Once he negates himself, that is the beginning of all failure.

It was just that it hurt too much.

It was as if he were being calcined by reverse fire.

The collision and explosion of his inner universes would cause every particle in Chen Yan's physical body to shatter and collapse.

The excruciating pain did not come from the moment of collapse.

It came from the moment of repair.

The moment his pain nerves were repaired, the excruciating pain truly struck.

Then, the pain nerves collapsed once again.

But Chen Yan could not afford not to repair them.

It was as if he were forcing ice and fire to fuse together.

If they did not fuse, the ice and fire would not collide.

Therefore, it was Chen Yan himself who was seeking pain.

Chen Yan lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, yet the next moment he suddenly laughed.

"I like this."

His eyes widened:

"I like this!"

"I must admit, breaking through limits is the pursuit I want most."

His Immortal Will shook violently; within Chen Yan's body, the two inner universes that had shattered in an instant of collision began to repair themselves.

The next moment, they were once again forcefully fused by Chen Yan.

Rumble!

The inner universes of Hard-Refining and Qi-Blood collided.

In an instant, the universes cracked, star chains shattered into rain of fire, and nebula after nebula was ground to pieces.

As his body shattered, cold light flashed in Chen Yan's eyes.

"Since that is the case, then come another sliver of Life-Death Breath!"

Under the influence of his Immortal Will, the trillions of stars condensed with Qi-Blood and Hard-Refining power, like debris, reorganized into the outlines of inner universes amidst the tidal wave of gravity.

At this moment.

Chen Yan's Qi-Blood path inner universe completely recovered, achieving reincarnation.

After the Qi-Blood path inner universe was destroyed, it was completely restored.

A second sliver of Life-Death Breath was born!

Suddenly!

Hum!

Outside.

Above the Vault of Heaven, a change occurred.

In an instant.

Within the Five Clans, in the outside world.

Every living being looked up.

And saw.

Above the Vault of Heaven, at first there were a few pearl-like points of light, then ten thousand rays of starlight poured down like crushed diamonds.

This starlight was incomparably brilliant, dyeing the clouds into translucent glaze.

An Eighth Rank is born, the morning light of heaven and earth.

"Another Eighth Rank has been born!"

"So fast, one was born just a few days ago."

"What on earth is going on? Are Eighth Ranks so cheap?"

"The world is changing greatly; it is like this, more and more top-tier combat powers are going to appear."

"It must be the upheaval within the Five Clans Struggle."

At this moment, within the Five Clans, in the outside world.

Sounds of astonishment rang out one after another.

In the past, the birth of an Eighth-Order was a major event for the whole world.

But nowadays.

First an Eighth-Order was born, then an Eighth-Order fell, then an Eighth-Order was born again.

The phenomena of Eighth-Order births and falls appeared again and again as if they were worthless.

But very quickly.

Everyone suddenly realized.

This phenomenon of the morning light of heaven and earth disappeared after lasting only a few dozen seconds.

Within the Five Clans.

Some Eighth-Order powerhouses were stunned:

"How is it less than a minute again? The duration of the phenomenon represents the strength of one's power.

Such a weak Eighth-Order, could it be that two of their own universes were destroyed and they reincarnated again?"

At this moment, even the top powerhouses were amazed.

It would be normal for one weak Eighth-Order to be born.

But it was too strange for two weak Eighth-Orders to be born.

Inside the Purple Firmament World-Fixing Mirror, the Five Clans and the Great Xia Creation-Realm experts were also shocked to see this scene.

Many top Creation-Realm experts were amazed at first, then immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

They also saw the problem.

The phenomena produced by these two consecutively born Eighth-Orders were both too weak.

They were all in the late or peak stage of the Creation Realm, and they all had the possibility of ascending to the Eighth-Order.

Naturally, they also had the urge to compare.

Seeing such a weak Eighth-Order born, they felt a bit of disdain while being amazed.

…………

At the same time.

Chen Yan's eyes calmed down.

Before, he had always been merging his Blood-Qi Path self-universe, which had not yet fully realized reincarnation, with his Hard-Refining Path self-universe.

But after trying again and again, Chen Yan was about to reach his limit.

Simply put, Chen Yan directly made the Blood-Qi Path self-universe realize reincarnation, giving birth to a wisp of life-and-death aura.

The self-universe, living and dying, reincarnating endlessly.

Now, two wisps of life-and-death aura could allow Chen Yan to temporarily escape the danger of exploding.

And Chen Yan began to observe more meticulously all the mysteries of his self-universe as it shattered and reorganized.

Only by thoroughly understanding the rules could he better achieve the fusion.

This process was very dangerous and at the same time extremely painful.

But soon, Chen Yan's expression flickered.

Not right.

After giving birth to two wisps of life-and-death aura, the difficulty of containing his self-universe became even greater.

Outside the room.

Several figures arrived.

Yin Qingshuang and the others appeared outside the door with different expressions.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Violent explosive sounds were resounding from within the room, and the continuously expanding power caused the Magnetic Storm Thunder Prison to vibrate constantly.

It would be strange if such a spectacle did not attract the attention of Yin Qingshuang and the others.

Sss, sss, sss...

Wisps of incomparably violent destructive aura leaked out through the door.

This made even Yin Qingshuang shudder.

Beside her, several Great Xia Creation-Realm experts had their expressions change abruptly.

What exactly is Chen Yan doing?

Is he researching how to self-destruct?

Yin Qingshuang raised her hand, wanting to knock on the door, but stopped the next moment.

She shook her head and led everyone away.

Soon, they arrived in another room.

"Should we not go and ask?"

A Great Xia Creation-Realm expert spoke with an ugly expression:

"That aura just now made me want to run away subconsciously."

Another person nodded hurriedly:

"We should still stop him. Although I don't know what Chen Yan is doing, I always feel like he is dancing on the edge of a cliff."

Yin Qingshuang shook her head:

"Before entering the Five Clans Dispute, King Xiayue held a small meeting and told us not to interfere with Chen Yan's cultivation; no one is qualified to instruct Chen Yan."

After Yin Qingshuang finished speaking, the remaining few looked at each other and nodded.

How could they be qualified to instruct Chen Yan?

Yin Qingshuang looked at the crowd and said:

"Chen Yan can defeat an Eighth-Order Creation Realm, there is no need to say anything more, right?

I think everyone understands that if your own strength is limited, then do not become a hindrance.

I am not telling you to learn from Brother Qi Fan, but I hope you can understand your own duties."

Her voice fell.

The remaining few Creation Realms hurriedly saluted:

"We are willing to die for the Great Xia!"

"We are willing to die for the Great Xia!"

Yin Qingshuang sighed inwardly; that the Great Xia had no internal strife was already a very good situation.

"Just now, another Eighth-Order was born, and it was two Eighth-Orders with low strength born in succession.

This is not a coincidence; it is a plan.

My Great Xia does not have such a plan, so it can only be the Five Clans."

Her voice fell, and the few Creation Realms were all stunned.

Someone sank their face:

"I roughly understand; most Creation Realms ascend to the Eighth-Order only after creating a triple universe or quadruple universe.

After ascending, the phenomenon of Heaven and Earth Morning Light will last for at least three minutes or more.

Now, the phenomena of the two Eighth-Order ascensions are less than one minute; it can only mean that the Five Clans are mass-producing Eighth-Orders."

That person's voice fell.

In an instant.

Everyone's complexion turned dark.

If unusual things happen one after another, it means that the birth of the Eighth-Order is a premeditated plan.

Have the Five Clans done this kind of thing less often?

Yin Qingshuang's eyes also flashed with cold light.

Although it is only a guess now, it is very likely.

It is too strange.

Mass-producing Eighth-Orders.

A Creation Realm ascends to the Eighth-Order when they have only birthed two of their own universes?

With such an ascension, even if they reach the Eighth-Order, their combat power will be extremely low.

But an Eighth-Order is still an Eighth-Order.

It completely suppresses the Creation Realm.

At this moment, Yin Qingshuang and the others all felt a sense of urgency in their hearts.

Boom—

The massive Thunder Domain Magnetic Soul shook again; everyone's complexion changed in unison, and they looked at each other.

They did not know what Chen Yan was doing.

But this was too dangerous.

That overflowing aura of destruction made them worry at any moment whether it would directly destroy the Magnetic Storm Thunder Prison.

"Do not tell Chen Yu," Yin Qingshuang said:

"Loved ones worry most about their loved ones; if she knows Chen Yan's current situation, the situation will likely be bad."

Everyone nodded.

At the same time.

Inside the Ancient War Palace.

"Are you really not going to intervene?"

The woman in the fairy dress exclaimed.

Chen Yan's current situation was even more dire.

Clearly, after Chen Yan obtained the second of his own universes, the danger produced when he fused his own universes again was even greater.

Chen Yan thought that after he birthed the second strand of life-and-death aura, he would better control his physical body.

But the situation was exactly the opposite.

But what made the woman in the fairy dress even more puzzled was.

Since just now, the Master of Horizontal Refining had not spoken again.

Was this letting Chen Yan mess around?

The woman in the fairy dress narrowed her eyes.

Inside the room, the white-haired old man looked in the direction of Chen Yan, saying nothing.

If Chen Yan wanted to continue like this, then let it be.

He could intervene.

But the price of his intervention was unimaginably huge.

Perhaps, the entire Purple Firmament World-Stabilizing Mirror would have problems.

But he, instead, wanted to let Chen Yan continue even more now.

Chen Yan had never failed.

Even when fighting a Level 2 domain battle, Chen Yan won.

Everything Chen Yan had done all along had succeeded.

A person who has never failed is terrifying.

He will lose his sense of awe and become blindly arrogant.

This is a malady.

If it is not corrected now, it will be too late later.

Just like he was in the beginning.

Perhaps failure will be the greatest opportunity for this young Master of Martial Dao.

At the same time.

The voice of Xia Weimin suddenly rang in the old man's ears.

"Ancestor."

Xia Weimin spoke:

"I ask that Ancestor protect the Dao for Chen Yan."

Xia Weimin's voice fell, yet he received absolutely no answer from the Master of Hardened Refining.

Deep within Chen Yan's mind, a phantom of Xia Weimin appeared above the cyan light orb.

At this moment, Xia Weimin's expression was extremely ugly.

If it were not a last resort, he would never have spoken to the Master of Hardened Refining.

The other party had brought disaster upon the entire Xia Clan.

It was also at this time that the voice of the Master of Hardened Refining came:

"He is seeking his own death; why should I intervene?"

Xia Weimin frowned:

"It is not seeking one's own death; in the pursuit of Martial Dao, if one clings to a dead end, there is no future."

The eyes of the Master of Hardened Refining flashed:

"Are you contradicting me?"

"Yes," Xia Weimin said:

"Ancestor is a Master of Martial Dao and surely understands what I just meant; in fact..."

"Shut up!"

The cold shout of the Master of Hardened Refining resounded:

"What qualifications do you have to negate me?"

Anger appeared in the white-haired old man's eyes.

Without him, where would the Xia Clan come from, and where would the current human race come from?

These juniors were actually contradicting him one after another.

Above the cyan light orb, Xia Weimin's expression turned cold, and then he vanished directly.

But one sentence of sound still came out.

"Ancestor, I believe Chen Yan will not necessarily fail."

The Master of Hardened Refining narrowed his eyes:

"Foolish!"

"Do not dare to use your foolish insights to tell me what to do!"

"If you lot were wise, the Great Xia would not have become what it is today."

"You lot disappoint me!"

His voice fell, and Xia Weimin did not speak again.

The white-haired old man waited for a long time, and that descendant named Xia Weimin did not answer him either.

He narrowed his eyes.

When Chen Yan failed, he would naturally intervene.

But what he intended to do did not require anyone else's suggestion.
