Chapter 649: You are truly... so weak that it makes me want to laugh

A series of electronic sounds rang out in unison beside their ears.

At this moment, the detection systems on several Yu Province Creation Realm experts began scanning Chen Yan simultaneously.

On their helmet visors, vast torrents of blue numbers surged.

Countless formulas and characters intertwined with one another.

Interfolded with these characters and formulas,

were constantly flashing scarlet "Warning" slogans.

All information belonging to Chen Yan was being collected and analyzed by the Yu Province detectors.

"Warning!"

"Anomalous data detected!"

"Warning, massive energy body detected, please keep your distance!"

Several electronic female voices rang out beside Yu Cheng's ears.

In an instant, all the Yu Clan Creation Realm experts froze in unison.

"What is this situation? Why has anomalous data appeared?!"

A Yu Clan Creation Realm expert's voice was trembling:

"Is he a human?!"

The appearance of anomalous data meant that something massive, which did not exist in the Yu Province martial arts database, had appeared on Chen Yan.

It was the first time the Yu Clan and the others had seen such a sight.

Instances of large amounts of anomalous data appearing, as recorded in history, dated back to data sent back by Yu Province expedition teams when they traveled into the universe.

Unknown, powerful, impossible to parse.

"Yu Ming, did you not scan... him?" the purple-haired Yu Cheng spoke, her eyes shrinking wildly as she looked at Yu Ming.

"I... I don't know." Yu Ming's expression was also stunned:

"Before, when he wore the Heavenly God Armor, his aura was completely shielded, and I couldn't detect any data at all.

When he wasn't wearing it, it wasn't appropriate for me to scan him directly."

Yu Ming was also dumbfounded; he did not understand the current situation.

"I understand anomalous data, after all, he is skilled at breaking martial arts limits.

I also understand the massive energy body, after all, he cultivates both physical tempering and Qi-blood.

I also understand the inability to detect hostility, after all, he hasn't displayed any expression at all.

These... I understand all of them."

Yu Cheng gritted her teeth, staring fixedly at Yu Ming as she growled:

"Then did you not notice that he is already on the verge of self-detonation and will die in the next instant?!"

Yu Cheng scolded almost to the point of a breakdown, her entire face turning incredibly livid.

One could see Yu Cheng's pale lips trembling uncontrollably, her lower lip nearly bitten to the point of drawing blood.

She was pushed to the brink of fury.

Because, displayed on her visor at this moment, was also Chen Yan's health value.

Chen Yan's health value was constantly flickering between 0 and 5.

5 was Chen Yan's highest state of health.

And the numbers appearing most frequently were 0, 1, and 2.

According to Yu Clan regulations, when health is below fifty, a martial artist will suffer severe injuries such as limb tremors or blurred vision.

Below thirty is a confirmed severe injury.

Below five means that bodily functions have completely vanished, and one can only wait for death to arrive.

For a physical tempering Creation Realm expert, below five means that even relying on the powerful self-healing of the physical body, it would take more than a day to recover ten percent of bodily functions.

Below two means that one must use healing precious medicine of Sun-level or higher, otherwise death is certain.

Yet on Chen Yan's physical body at this moment, bloodstains were constantly appearing and then disappearing.

This was nowhere near the powerful Heavenly God General.

This was a powder keg ready to explode completely at any moment.

"Yu Ming, you've ruined us!"

A Yu Clan Creation Realm expert spoke with eyes splitting, teeth nearly bitten to pieces.

"No wonder he wouldn't come out to meet us; it turns out he's already become like this!" A Yu Clan Creation Realm expert was on the verge of vomiting blood.

They had already signed the contract; there was no turning back.

"Yu Ming, why don't you just die!"

A Yu Clan Creation Realm expert had bloodshot eyes as he glared at Yu Ming.

Yu Ming was stunned; his physical body had not yet recovered, and having been busy until now, he was still just a head, currently floating alone in mid-air, opening his mouth.

"That's not right!" Yu Ming hurriedly exclaimed:

"After Chen Yan finished the domain battle, I had close contact with him; he wasn't like this!"

Yu Ming felt dizzy, his facial skin tightening.

"You..." Yu Cheng was so angry she almost laughed:

"The methods of an Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beast are unfathomable; even if it died, it would still plant some ominousness on Chen Yan!

When all is said and done, Chen Yan is only a Creation Realm expert; he is formidable and killed an Eighth-Rank, but it is impossible for him to be uninjured!"

Yu Cheng felt like she wanted to die.

Everything had been ruined by Yu Ming.

If Chen Yan were to self-destruct the very next instant, what would they, these rebels of Yu Province, have left to play with?

Suicide?

Yu Cheng felt even more resentful in her heart.

In her heart, Chen Yan was a powerful ally worthy of trust.

A collateral branch member of the Chen clan who could initiate a domain battle for his comrades and be trusted so deeply by Xia Qi.

His character was absolutely to be trusted.

This was the main reason she chose Chen Yan.

As it turned out, the moment the contract was signed, she felt something was wrong.

Only now did she understand that Chen Yan had actually deceived them.

In an instant, the atmosphere became heavy to the extreme.

It was also at this moment.

Ji Yanbing, with an icy expression, stared at Chen Yan for a long time, and after her expression shifted repeatedly, she also laughed:

"So, you are going to die!"

She revealed a charming yet perverse demeanor:

"Little brother, you are going to die, don't you know?

Instead of healing your wounds properly, you come to surround and kill your big sister?"

Tears even streamed from the corners of Ji Yanbing's eyes as she laughed incessantly.

She knew she was going to die.

Even if Chen Yan did not make a move, Yin Qingshuang, Zhang Chao, and the others were enough to annihilate her.

But when she probed and discovered Chen Yan's current condition, Ji Yanbing laughed.

She wiped away her tears, licked her lips, and smiled at Chen Yan:

"Do you want big sister to keep you company before you die? Anyway, you are going to die, and big sister is going to die too.

You and I are both so good-looking, how about a final romp before death?"

She brushed her hair and blew a kiss to Chen Yan.

Her voice finished.

The other few Creation Realm experts of Ji Province looked stunned, but they also laughed.

"Hahaha, being able to see a Great Xia Divine General die before we die is not bad at all."

"Great Xia Divine General? A remnant of the Chen clan!"

"Back then, Chen Province should have wiped out that branch of theirs in Yunmeng City."

"Hahaha, you greenhorn, so you can die too!!!"

"Did you come out just to make your grandfather here happy?"

They laughed out loud.

They had all accepted the outcome that they were going to die.

But when they saw that Chen Yan was already in this state, they felt much better inside and began to say some vicious things.

Everyone was a smart person, and they all knew Chen Yan's purpose for coming here.

Therefore, after Ji Yanbing judged that her future was certain death, she felt much more relieved instead.

When she judged that Chen Yan was going to die, she felt even more relieved.

In an instant, the expressions of Yin Qingshuang and the others turned ugly.

"Still spouting nonsense when death is at the doorstep?"

Zhang Chao sneered, his blood energy overflowing.

It was also at this moment that Chen Yan raised one hand.

Zhang Chao was startled and hurriedly retreated.

The surroundings instantly became quiet.

Chen Yan stepped forward slowly, and suddenly everyone's gaze was drawn to him once again.

He walked upon the void just like that, his eyes indifferent.

On his body, streaks of blood appeared and then instantly vanished, as waves of destructive aura like a vast ocean overflowed from him.

A massive explosion that no one could estimate was occurring within his body.

Crack, crack, crack...

Streaks of void cracks suddenly shattered from around Chen Yan's body; when Chen Yan first circulated the True Martial Power within his body, that majestic power was almost uncontrollable.

He was pursuing a kind of balance, a kind of perfection.

Combining destruction with vitality.

Every step he took, every breath he drew, seemed to contain unfathomable truths of the Dao.

He stretched his arms, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

He needed this battle.

A battle that would make his teammates, his allies, and his enemies clearly understand his combat power.

Destruction?

He was indeed experiencing destruction.

But destruction allowed Chen Yan to continuously understand the truths of the Martial Dao.

Until the next moment.

Hum!

His figure flickered, suddenly appearing before a Creation Realm expert of Jizhou, locking eyes with them.

That Jizhou Creation Realm expert's pupils shrank instantly, staring fixedly at Chen Yan, mouth agape.

They watched with their own eyes as Chen Yan pointed a finger toward them; this finger was slow, so slow...

Yet it seemed to suppress them as if it were the entire world itself.

An indescribable, terrifying power condensed within this single finger.

They clearly saw every line on this finger, clearly saw the pitch-black power flowing between those lines.

What was that?

They fell into a stupor; beside them, other Jizhou Creation Realm experts roared incessantly, calling for them to flee.

But these shouts were completely unheard by this person at this moment.

Within their field of vision, only this finger remained.

Their breathing stopped, their heartbeat vanished, their pupils contracted wildly.

At this moment, they seemed to have seen...

The truth of the Martial Dao!

Seen...

The source and flow of the Martial Dao!

*Sshhh*—a sound.

A beam of pitch-black light instantly pierced through their forehead.

【Condensed Radiance Style】!

The 【Condensed Radiance Style】 unleashed with the power of True Martial!

Their body fell, but there was no terror on their face, no regret, no anger.

Instead, there was relief.

It was the relief of one who had sought the Dao and attained it.

It was the composure and satisfaction of seeing the truth of the Martial Dao before death.

They were happy, they were fortunate.

On a journey of seeking the Dao that lasted a thousand years, they had finally obtained the answer at the very last moment of life, achieving permanent balance.

This was absolutely the gentlest way to die in the world.

Ji Yanbing and the others watched their falling comrade, each of them stunned in place.

They saw the expression on the other's face.

"What... is this?"

Ji Yanbing shrieked, her legs actually going weak involuntarily.

*Boom*—a sound.

A pitch-black wheel of light brushed past her ear, slashing into the Jizhou Creation Realm experts behind her.

Four Creation Realm experts were actually annihilated by this strike as if they were mere blades of grass.

Ji Yanbing's expression was horrified, but soon an uncontrollable anger surged forth.

"Chen Yan, what is this?"

She screamed:

"Are you going to annihilate us in this state?"

Filled with shock and rage, she attacked in an instant, her long, slender leg slashing down toward Chen Yan.

*Crack-crack-crack-crack*!!!

With that one leg, Chen Yan's body was already frozen.

A hundred miles of space formed a domain.

Within this domain, she was the Empress, she was invincible.

Her speed was enhanced to an unprecedented degree, and her figure could appear anywhere within the entire domain.

Boundless chill spread crazily, its power terrifying.

But just as Ji Yanbing's leg was about to strike Chen Yan's neck.

Ji Yanbing's pupils shrank; she discovered that the Chen Yan who had been frozen was already looking toward her.

*Hum! *

Ji Yanbing's body flickered, appearing behind Chen Yan, a long blade appearing in her hand to stab at him.

Yet, the moment she went to stab, she flickered away again.

She felt it with absolute clarity: that blade could not be thrust down, because Chen Yan was already prepared to turn around.

She flickered again, attacking from the right once more, but again discovered that Chen Yan seemed to have anticipated her movements, pointing a finger toward her.

"Chen Yan!!!"

Ji Yanbing shrieked, her figure flickering crazily within the Ice Domain, attacking wildly.

But every time she moved to strike, she felt an incomparably terrifying killing intent.

Every one of her actions failed.

This made her look like a mosquito buzzing incessantly around Chen Yan.

Constantly seeking an opportunity to attack, only to finally discover at the end that what she wanted to attack was a pile of raging flames.

No matter when or where she went to attack, the moment she drew near that fire.

That scorching high temperature could annihilate her without the slightest effort.

Despair!

With every probe Ji Yanbing made, an increasingly intense despair surged from the bottom of her heart, nearly driving her to hysteria.

She was in the top ten of the Creation Realm Ranking!

She was only one rank below Chi Xue, who was seventh on the Creation Realm Ranking.

Yet she was actually feeling despair from Chen Yan.

Especially from a Chen Yan like this.

He was clearly about to die.

He was clearly on the verge of self-detonation.

Facing her attacks, Chen Yan had not made a single move from start to finish, yet he had remained in complete control the entire time.

…………

"This..."

Zhang Ting was shocked.

The group of Great Xia Creation Realm experts were also stunned; they had been horrified when they saw Chen Yan's state.

When they learned that Chen Yan intended to take action personally, they found it even harder to comprehend.

But they had not expected this battle to turn out this way.

Facing Chen Yan, Ji Yanbing was simply like a little girl who could only act spoiled, completely suppressed by Chen Yan.

This was Chen Yan.

This was the Heavenly God General.

Yin Qingshuang widened her eyes, even more incredulous, as unprecedented emotions surged and welled up in her mind.

"What kind of martial path is this..."

In a distant location, Yu Cheng, who was watching the battle, fell into an inexplicable state of trembling.

Yu Clan technology could not analyze the power Chen Yan was wielding.

Yu Ming felt even more complex and indescribable emotions.

Chen Yan had become even stronger.

The Yu Clan system had given the highest rating after only a rough analysis of Chen Yan's movements.

It was no wonder Ji Yanbing had not made a move all this time.

Because Ji Yanbing simply could not find a single flaw in Chen Yan.

A fly doesn't bite a seamless egg?

No.

A fly cannot bite a seamless egg.

Every movement, every breath, and every turn of Chen Yan had reached a level of perfection that could not be improved upon.

Ji Yanbing simply had no opportunity to strike.

It was hard to imagine that Ji Yanbing was eighth on the Creation Realm Ranking.

Yu Ming was numb.

Yu Cheng was also numb.

Especially when they heard that young man's voice once again in their ears.

He merely raised his hand slightly.

Crack, crack, crack!

The entire Ice Domain began to shatter and crumble.

His eyes stared directly at the panicked and helpless Ji Yanbing, revealing an indifferent expression.

"You are truly... so weak it makes me want to laugh."
