Chapter 654: The Powerful Lu Xunyang

History will remember this day forever.

If the birth of the Dao of Will was the emergence of a new martial path.

Then the birth of the Dao of True Martial is the dissipation of the old martial path.

As Chen Yan fused the martial paths, it was also a process of understanding the two Masters of the Martial Path.

Chen Yan had never hidden his appreciation for the Master of Blood Qi.

Nor had he ever hidden his loathing and affirmation for the Master of Hardened Body.

By now, Chen Yan felt even more conflicted.

Xue Qi had become Zhou Ming, and his own other remnant soul still had to suffer endless reincarnation within the college entrance examination secret realm.

He was in pain.

He was also yearning.

He had conceded for ten thousand years, accepting the fate that belonged to him.

Just like now, what conceded was still the path of Blood Qi.

Xue Qi had always hated the Master of Hardened Body, yet knew that he was wrong.

"Xue Qi, the path of Blood Qi is no worse than the path of Hardened Body."

Chen Yan whispered:

"It is just a sacrifice of history."

Chen Yan murmured, his body wreathed in endless pitch-black True Martial power, like the beginning of chaos, gestating a new life.

Chen Yan's inner universe had completely changed.

That golden celestial body, which once dominated everything, had now become incomparably pitch-black, with a crimson-gold halo shrouding its surroundings.

This was the center of the entire inner universe, resonating and echoing with the entire inner universe.

A continuous stream of True Martial power was born amidst these repeated resonances and echoes.

The path of Blood Qi and the path of Hardened Body had completely vanished within Chen Yan's body.

Every strand of Chen Yan's skin and every fiber of his flesh was flowing with an even more powerful True Martial power.

Blood Qi was the power born from the operation of the physical body.

Hardened Body was, too.

Separating the two had instead made it difficult for martial artists to unleash the power that truly belonged to them.

This was the reason why, for so long, Chen Yan and Bing Yi could not truly combine.

Ever since Chen Yan entered the Dao, that sensation of his physical body being torn apart had always existed.

But at this moment, it vanished.

This was a martial path that should have been born long ago, buried within the long river of history for ten thousand years, and excavated by Chen Yan ten thousand years later.

If the Master of Hardened Body could have been more magnanimous back then, if the Master of Hardened Body could have stopped looking down on the Master of Blood Qi so much.

The Dao of True Martial should have been born long ago.

The greatness of humanity gestated the possibility of its birth, yet the pride of humanity buried the hope of its birth.

The Dao of True Martial inner universe, born!

And in the next moment.

The newborn inner universe began to realize its first destruction.

Chen Yan's physical body began to crumble.

Hum!

Billions of strands of golden-red glow spilled from Chen Yan's body, and the Immortal Will began to repair all of this.

As time passed.

The Dao of True Martial inner universe began to repair itself, began to reincarnate.

The aura of life and death began to be born.

It was just that, this time, there was a lot of the aura of life and death!

One strand!

Two strands!

Three strands!

Three strands of the aura of life and death were born.

Added to the two strands of the aura of life and death Chen Yan had previously produced, Chen Yan now possessed five strands of the aura of life and death.

And the Dao of True Martial inner universe also realized reincarnation at this moment.

Life and death, death and life, reincarnating without end.

Hum!

Outside!

Endless morning light descended from the vault of heaven, illuminating the heavens.

This morning light was extremely brilliant, blazing and fiery, as if welcoming the birth of some supreme existence.

It appeared within the War of the Five Clans, and it appeared in the real world.

At this moment, countless people looked up and gazed at the vault of heaven.

The morning light of heaven and earth represented the birth of an Eighth Rank.

In reality, it represented the birth of the aura of life and death.

Chen Yan had birthed a new aura of life and death, which was why such a terrifying phenomenon of heaven and earth morning light appeared.

But no one knew.

The morning light of heaven and earth is the least important part of this Dao enlightenment of Chen Yan.

No ringing of the rules was born.

Because this does not belong within the rules.

If one were to say that Chen Yan's previous breakthroughs were like a pile driver, hammering the already compacted ground to make it even harder.

Then the birth of the True Martial Path and the Will Path was like breaking away from this territory and opening a new road in other unknown lands.

The Five Clans have never underestimated Chen Yan.

But the Five Clans have never known exactly what kind of existence they are attempting to suppress.

Just as Chen Yan said, his goal is to bring a new heaven to the human race.

Suppressing the Five Clans is always just a side process for Chen Yan to achieve his own goals.

At this moment, the world is watching.

It is just that this time, the morning light of heaven and earth lasted for a full two minutes.

"Finally, a normal Eighth Rank has been born; it looks like a triple self-universe reincarnation, giving birth to three strands of life-death aura."

"A triple self-universe reincarnation can only be called standard; it is among the weakest batch of Eighth Ranks."

"That is still better than those whose morning light of heaven and earth lasts less than a minute."

"As expected, we have reached the final era; just now, three Eighth Ranks have already been born. In this Five Clans struggle, perhaps the number of Eighth Ranks born will exceed the past."

Powerful gazes stared at the Qiong Heaven.

The True Martial Path's self-universe achieved reincarnation, and the aura of life and death made Chen Yan look even more powerful.

"Nowadays, relying solely on the amplification of my physical body and the Word Realm, I am already comparable to the peak of the Creation Realm."

Chen Yan whispered.

His body is changing, and his Martial Dao is becoming more and more perfect.

Nowadays, he is still at the early stage of the Creation Realm, with only one self-universe.

If he cultivates a few more layers of self-universe, Chen Yan's strength will surpass all those in the Creation Realm throughout history.

However, to deal with the Creation Realm, Chen Yan does not need to fight in person at all.

Because of the life-death aura.

The life-death aura is a suppression of all martial artists below the Eighth Rank from the perspective of the rules.

Under Chen Yan's intent, if he wants a Creation Realm expert to die, they will die.

Unless that Creation Realm expert has also given birth to the life-death aura like him.

But how is that possible?

Chen Yan felt extremely comfortable.

Now, his physical body has reached stability, and the severe pain he had been enduring before has completely disappeared.

Chen Yan's intent flickered, sensing the Ash Evil Spear and the Heavenly God Armor that had already appeared not far from the Magnetic Storm Thunder Prison.

The two divine artifacts have been completely transformed after being calcined by one thousand three hundred Fire-Reversing Crystals, and now they can exert unimaginable combat power even without Chen Yan.

Chen Yan had been cultivating before, so he did not pay too much attention to the arrival of the Ash Evil Spear and the Heavenly God Armor.

Now, Chen Yan has new ideas.

At the same time.

Outside the Magnetic Storm Thunder Prison.

The battle armor and the long spear stood still, overflowing with divine radiance, incomparably profound, as if engraved deep within the void.

The next moment.

The Ash Evil Spear was grasped by the Heavenly God Armor and suddenly flew toward a distant direction.

Boom!

Like the roar of ten thousand fighter jets passing through the high sky, the two divine artifacts pulled long black shadows in the void.

Under Chen Yan's long-distance control, they will head to the other two Level 3 domains of the Kumeng Micheng.

The Rotten Sound Old House and the Xue Teng Zhuang Yuan.

The Rotten Sound Old House is not very important.

What Chen Yan wants is still the Xue Teng Zhuang Yuan.

On that map inside the Thousand-Face Corridor, one of the three treasures is located within the Xue Teng Zhuang Yuan.

The Heavenly God Armor plus the Ash Evil Spear is more than enough to break through two Level 3 domains.

Chen Yan looked at the Martial Dao meridian belonging to Lu Fukun.

This person has been inside the Kumeng Micheng all along.

In the past few days, the Five Clans' Creation Realm experts from the Rotten Sound Old House and Yu Laiwei and others from the Xue Teng Zhuang Yuan have arrived at the Kumeng Micheng and converged with the Lu Prefecture base camp.

Nowadays, what these Five Clans' Creation Realm experts are waiting for is still the successful promotion of Lu Jianxia and Lu Wuyi.

Chen Yan does not move, and they do not move either.

They have already laid out a large number of self-defense turrets outside the entire Kumeng Micheng and have made preparations for battle.

They successfully avoided Chen Yan's weakest period.

The current Chen Yan has completely fused Qi-Blood and Hard-Refining, and his strength has reached an unprecedented peak.

The True Martial power contains force and Qi-Blood, and even more so, it contains Chen Yan's thunder and ice elements.

Chen Yan pondered.

He wants to attack the Kumeng Micheng directly after absorbing the spoils of the Ice Remains Tomb.

The specialty of the Ice Remains Tomb is the Ice Emperor who rules the Ice Remains Tomb.

Inside the body of this peak Creation Realm ancient divine beast, there is half-god level ice element energy.

Now that Ji Yanbing is dead, the Ice Emperor is not yet dead, and the ice element within Ji Yanbing's body has not vanished.

Chen Yan's Yin-Zhe Qi and blood are too weak.

Ever since Chen Yan's lightning element reached the Sun-Grade A-Tier, Chen Yan has almost never used the ice element.

It is too much of a chicken rib.

But a demigod-grade ice element could allow the quality of Chen Yan's ice element to rise to its peak.

Chen Yan prepares to summon Ke Qingxuan, as the vast majority of the resources of the Great Xia side are currently controlled by Ke Qingxuan.

Chen Yan can observe people's emotions, so Chen Yan knows which people can be absolutely trusted, and which people are merely being hypocritical.

Ke Qingxuan is an object that can be absolutely trusted.

And it was at this moment.

Hum!

Outside, a strange phenomenon appeared once again.

Blood-colored light.

Endless blood-colored light diffused across heaven and earth, suppressing the vast expanse.

Heaven and earth weep blood, an Eighth-Rank has fallen!

A thick crimson light rendered the entire heaven and earth, extremely dense, extremely viscous, to the point that the air even became incomparably heavy.

This scene of weeping blood even made Chen Yan feel a scent of blood.

An Eighth-Rank has fallen.

But the phenomenon of the fall is even more terrifying than any one Chen Yan has experienced before.

At that time, when the Dark-Devouring Mother Tree and King Xia Chen fell, although heaven and earth also wept blood, it was by no means as intense as this moment.

Perhaps.

Is it an Eighth-Rank mid-stage that has fallen?

Or.

An Eighth-Rank late-stage?

Chen Yan's heart is somewhat turbulent.

Chen Yan looks at the Martial Dao veins for the first time.

All of his attention is attracted to the tip of one of the veins.

Above it, thousands of miles of earth suddenly crack and collapse, and the remnant body of a strange-looking giant disintegrates inch by inch.

Pitch-black blood erupts like a waterfall, carrying shattered bones as it falls into the abyss, and the thick darkness instantly swallows the last of the daylight.

Caw!!!

Caw!!!

Low hissing sounds ring out one after another.

Within the endless pitch-black mist, the phantoms of four massive existences condense and appear, and countless pitch-black tentacles rise within the mist, occupying the firmament.

"Hahahaha!!!!"

Wearing tattered clothes, a white-haired, one-eyed man with golden light erupting from his entire body stands in the high heavens, his muscles knotted, and he throws a punch toward the high sky.

In an instant, endless immense power erupts into dense light rain, bombarding the firmament from bottom to top, piercing through the mist, and striking the bodies of the existences hiding within the mist.

Clatter!!!

In the firmament, pitch-black blood rushes down like ten thousand waterfalls, submerging the earth, and pieces of flesh tissue as large as mountains fall like shattered stars.

Lu Xunyang's single eye is like a great sun, bathing in flames, striding across the void; every time he strikes, he bombards space and shatters the earth, executing countless hard-body martial arts with different techniques.

On his body, it seems there is no longer any shadow of hard-body martial arts.

Every time he strikes, it is a powerful martial art, containing the ultimate true meaning.

"Trash!"

He looks indifferently into the depths of the endless high sky, as if he has seen through the origin of all secrets and terrors, fearless.

"I have been suppressed for so many years, and even now, I still have not reached the combat power I had when I first entered this place.

But you, how can you not make me interested at all?"

He is incomparably overbearing.

"You have wanted to kill me for so long, but I am still alive; Ming Yan Ni, come out and fight me yourself!"

Chen Yan's brows lift slightly; after Lu Xunyang awakened the Will Path a few days ago, he began to rise, fighting against eight ancient divine beasts.

These ancient divine beasts are not Eighth-Rank early-stage like the Dark-Devouring Mother Tree.

These five ancient divine beasts are all Eighth-Rank late-stage.

Moreover, there is a certain terrifying existence in the shadows dominating the battlefield, seemingly an Eighth-Rank peak.

That Eighth-Rank peak is perhaps the Ming Yan Ni in Lu Xunyang's words.

But even so, under the suppression of the five ancient divine beasts, the first Eighth-Rank late-stage ancient divine beast was still killed by Lu Xunyang.
