Chapter 661: A Terrifying World, and the Method to Break It

The black-red liquid inside the syringe surged like magma, instantly spreading through Chen Yan's blood vessels to every part of his body.

Within it, the thick malice and Qi-blood energy caused Chen Yan's entire demeanor to change.

Intense!

Absolutely intense.

Chen Yan circulated the Qi-blood energy that had appeared within his body, and a new Qi-blood self-universe was rapidly being born.

This was almost a form of filling-style power bestowal.

"Don't be afraid, classmate, it won't hurt in a moment." The school doctor's face was gentle, their temperament elegant, and they wore a loving smile.

Then all the school doctors walked out.

Inside the infirmary, only Chen Yan remained, Chen Yan's heart beating slightly.

He was now regarded by the Illusion World as a part of itself.

Because of Lu Xunyang's arrival, Chen Yan had even received higher attention from the Illusion World.

The Illusion World's treatment of Chen Yan was to replenish malice and Qi-blood energy.

The energy contained within this bottle of IV drip was enough for Chen Yan to give birth to a Qi-blood self-universe.

But now, Chen Yan had already completely realized the formation of the new martial path, the True Martial Path; in fact, he did not need the formation of a Qi-blood self-universe.

Qi-blood power was an incomplete form of True Martial Power.

The formation of True Martial Power required not only Qi-blood energy but also the simultaneous strengthening of the Horizontal Refining path.

Chen Yan closed his eyes, the power of his will within his body beginning to devour the excess malice, and he circulated the 【Illusion Ripple Domain】.

A new Qi-blood self-universe was being born.

Chen Yan frowned; he did not need pure Qi-blood path strength now.

Rather, he needed Qi-blood and Horizontal Refining to advance simultaneously.

But, with Qi-blood energy being infused, what about Horizontal Refining?

Currently, it was fundamentally unrealistic for Chen Yan to make the progress speed of his Horizontal Refining path strength match that of his current Qi-blood path strength.

He could only let the second Qi-blood self-universe form first.

Chen Yan frowned.

Throughout the infirmary, the smell of disinfectant permeated the pale space, and the fluorescent light tubes cast a cold glow.

In the cabinet opposite the hospital bed, various medicine bottles were still stored.

Chen Yan's expression tightened slightly; within those medicine bottles, there were surely all kinds of treasures.

However, the cabinet was locked, and Chen Yan could only see the medicine bottles inside through the glass.

If Chen Yan broke the glass, it would certainly attract the attention of the school doctors, and perhaps it would also cause everything Chen Yan had done to go up in smoke.

Chen Yan touched his pocket and took out the piece of paper inside.

It was a blank sheet of paper, with nothing on it.

Chen Yan's gaze narrowed; when he placed the white paper ten centimeters from his eyes, images appeared on the paper.

Chen Yan placed this piece of paper over his eyes.

Immediately, through the thin white paper, Chen Yan saw the blurry ceiling of the infirmary.

Red!

The entire space was permeated with a faint scarlet hue.

The originally clean ceiling and walls had turned into a writhing wall of flesh, and upon the flesh wall, strange tumors constantly expanded and contracted, as if breathing.

Chen Yan turned his head to look in the direction of the cabinet where the medicine bottles were placed.

Yet he saw that on that wall of flesh, pitch-black banana-like fruits were hanging, and beside these 'bananas' was a large mouth growing out of the flesh wall, with circles of scarlet teeth inside that were incredibly sharp.

If Chen Yan had really gone to the medicine bottles just now and tried to find a way to take a bottle of medicine, that large mouth would have instantly devoured him.

At this moment, even Chen Yan felt a chill run down his spine.

Chen Yan got up and looked out the window.

And saw.

The originally clear sky was now covered by scarlet clouds, like congealed blood plasma, with viscous dark light seeping through the gaps in the clouds.

The outer walls of the teaching building peeled away into a texture like rotting flesh, the window frames twisted into ghastly white joints, and behind every window, blurry black shadows swayed.

Suspended in the center of the sky was a giant, deformed heart.

The surface of the heart was covered in dense, pitch-black long hair, which hung all the way down, sticking to the human martial artists who were disguised as students.

As the martial artists walked, these strands of hair also writhed, constantly cutting into the ceilings and walls of the teaching building.

These strands of hair were a malicious rule composed of malice and the aura of life and death.

In a way no one noticed, they were controlling all the martial artists who had entered the Illusion World.

But the teachers and native students within the Illusion World were not tethered by the hair at all.

Chen Yan looked above his own head.

The IV bottle that had been hanging there had turned into a pitch-black banana that had been plucked, and a thin tube like a meat sausage was transporting the nutritional components from the pitch-black banana to Chen Yan.

And like the other martial artists, Chen Yan's body was also bound by strands of hair.

But these strands of hair were transparent.

Chen Yan felt cold in his heart.

The piece of paper Lu Xunyang had given him could allow him to see through the disguise of the Illusion World and see the most real situation.

Even now, Chen Yan was still being controlled by the Illusion World, only the 'hair' tethering Chen Yan was transparent and difficult to detect.

This must be Lu Xunyang's doing.

The other party made Chen Yan appear to be a native rule or a native inhabitant of the Illusion World, but in reality, Chen Yan was still being tethered by the rules.

The next instant, lines of text suddenly appeared on the paper before Chen Yan.

【My methods will definitely be sensed by the illusion created by the Shi Meng Mo here.

Within three days, you will definitely be discovered by the Shi Meng Mo.

Within these three days, you need to find a way to resolve this.】

Chen Yan's expression changed slightly, and then he sighed inwardly.

Sometimes, he truly did want others to underestimate him.

But as one's realm grows higher, many existences who have reached the Creation Realm have experienced long ages and would no longer, like those people Chen Yan encountered when he first rose to prominence, excessively overestimate themselves and underestimate others.

Was Lu Xunyang perhaps overestimating Chen Yan a little?

How could Chen Yan possibly contend with the rules created by such an ancient divine beast?

Even if the opponent had only split off a portion of their power to control Chen Yan and the others, this portion of power still made Chen Yan feel an absolute sense of might and resistance was impossible.

Chen Yan put the white paper back into his pocket, and the world returned to how it was before.

Three days.

In three days' time, how could he resolve all of the Shi Meng Mo's rule-based constraints on him?

Chen Yan circulated the Breath of Life and Death within his body and began to sense his surroundings.

He could vaguely feel the flow of the rules in this place.

But it was still too blurry.

At the root of it, it was because Chen Yan's own Breath of Life and Death was too scarce, unable to provide Chen Yan with the ability to contend with this world.

Chen Yan needed to give birth to more of his own universes, then destroy them, realize the reincarnation of his own universes, and obtain the Breath of Life and Death.

To date, Chen Yan had a total of five wisps of the Breath of Life and Death.

The universes of the Hardened Body path and the Blood Qi path had each realized reincarnation one after the other, each yielding one wisp.

Afterwards, the universe of the True Martial path was born, realized reincarnation, and yielded three wisps.

The birth and reincarnation of the True Martial path was the path through which Chen Yan could obtain a large amount of the Breath of Life and Death.

Chen Yan fell into deep thought; Lu Xunyang's appearance had, on the contrary, provided him with a way out.

That was, to focus on the acquisition of the Breath of Life and Death.

The Breath of Life and Death represented rules.

Before, Chen Yan had only used his meager Breath of Life and Death to probe the rules of this world.

That was because, within the illusion, Chen Yan could not grow stronger and could not give birth to new universes of his own.

But now, it was different.

Soon.

The bell for class rang.

Throughout the entire school, the sound of reading like "Le, le, le" rang out once again.

Inside every classroom, all the teachers walked onto the podiums and looked at all the students:

"In a moment, continue to transcribe this from memory."

Throughout the entire school, the mood of all the martial artists became heavy.

Lu Xunyang's arrival had directly torn up all the contracts they had written.

However, the illusion world now required them to transcribe it from memory once again.

Wasn't this forcing everyone to contribute their own power again?

A sense of resentment surged deep within everyone's hearts.

However, there was a sense of powerlessness.

Under the suppression of a powerful Eighth-Rank ancient divine beast, all so-called Creation Realm existences were but fish on the chopping block.

Lu Jianxia's expression was somber as she glanced at the empty seat beside her.

A crumpled piece of paper was unfolded by her, with a few words written on it.

【That is not Yu Laiwei; the other party is very likely Chen Yan.】

This was a message passed to her by a Lu Province Creation Realm expert during the break.

The reason was that the real Yu Laiwei had found the other party and had said some things regarding the Withered Dream Lost City.

Chen Yan...

A familiar yet strange name.

Lu Jianxia's expression was icy cold.

Could that person really be the Great Xia Heavenly General?

Her elder brother, Lu Wuyi, had told Lu Jianxia that he had once been deceived by Chen Yan and had revealed many Lu Province secrets to the other party.

If Chen Yan was someone skilled at disguise, then her deskmate might truly be Chen Yan.

"What are you looking at? Continue transcribing!"

The female teacher walked to Lu Jianxia's side and glanced down at Lu Jianxia from above.

Lu Jianxia's heart sank; relying on her own power, she could not transcribe the entire ancient poem from memory using her limited Breath of Life and Death and power of will.

The problem was.

Her true body was still in the midst of advancing and was about to reach the Eighth Rank.

At this time, if a portion of her power disappeared, her advancement would be in danger.

Her elder brother Lu Wuyi's current condition was extremely dangerous, and it was very likely he would not be able to hold on for three days.

After three days, Lu Wuyi would either be severely injured and fall in realm forever.

Or he would simply be unable to hold on, and his body would self-destruct.

Lu Jianxia felt a sinking sensation in her heart to the extreme.

If she were like this too, then what would happen to Luzhou afterward?

It was precisely at this moment.

The entire class fell silent in an instant.

Everyone looked toward the classroom door.

They saw a student wearing a hospital gown had already appeared at the classroom entrance.

His hand gripped an IV pole, the metal casters clicking softly against the floor.

The transparent medicinal liquid dripped down, his footsteps unsteady and staggering to the extreme.

"Yu Laiwei, why have you come?"

The female teacher first let out a cry of surprise, then hurriedly walked to Chen Yan's side to support him.

"Teacher, I want to attend class," Chen Yan said.

The female teacher's expression froze, and she was just about to dissuade him.

Chen Yan, however, said righteously:

"Teacher, I want to attend class; even being injured cannot interrupt my desire to attend class!"

The female teacher's body stiffened, and the next instant, two lines of tears fell.

Lu Jianxia watched in a daze; within the entire class, all the martial artists had changing expressions.

Shen Yiwei narrowed his eyes—was this person really Yu Laiwei or not?

Currently, he was not certain of the other party's identity.

But the only thing he could be certain of was that this person had made even his master harbor murderous intent.

With the female teacher's support, Chen Yan returned to his seat.

"Yu Laiwei, you don't need to do the dictation," the female teacher said, wiping away her tears:

"As the Student Council President, you don't need to attend class at all; you only need to manage the school."

Chen Yan looked at the female teacher:

"Student Council President?"

"Yes!" the female teacher looked at Chen Yan with emotion:

"The principal has already decided."

Chen Yan's expression carried solemnity:

"Being able to contribute to the school is my honor."

The female teacher was even more moved.

Chen Yan asked with a smile:

"Teacher, may I go outside the school this afternoon to take a look?"

Chen Yan's voice fell.

Silence.

The entire class had fallen silent.

The female teacher first stared fixedly at Chen Yan, then the next instant her eyes gradually widened, and blood vessels burst one by one in her eyes.

Pop, pop, pop!!!

The blood vessels on her eyeballs kept bursting, sprays of blood exploded in mid-air, the female teacher's expression became increasingly terrifying, and the next instant she roared with all her might:

"As the Student Council President, don't you understand that students are not allowed to leave the school!!!"

Her voice was extremely shrill, like fingernails scraping across a blackboard, incomparably ear-piercing; all the students covered their ears at this moment.

Chen Yan looked at the female teacher, then looked at everyone and said:

"This is the first thing I, as the Student Council President, want to teach you all.

As students, you must never leave the school; if anyone leaves the school and is discovered by me, I will be even stricter than the teacher!"

Chen Yan's voice echoed, and everyone's expressions turned strange.

And the female teacher, who was still shrilly roaring, had her expression change in an instant, and she looked at Chen Yan in a daze:

"So, so you were doing this for that?"

"Yes," Chen Yan smiled:

"Worrying for the teacher and serving everyone will always be my primary duty."

The female teacher closed her eyes, tears appearing in them:

"From now on, whoever does not listen to Yu Laiwei is going against me!"

She was moved.

Lu Jianxia's heart sank.

What exactly was this Chen Yan doing?

The other party had now gained the friendship of the entire school.

That female teacher even said that whoever went against Yu Laiwei was going against her.

If the female teacher wanted to kill a martial artist, wouldn't that be as easy as reaching for something?

In that case, this Chen Yan could actually already control the life and death of all the students.

Lu Jianxia's expression became increasingly ugly.

And in the back row, Shen Yiwei and Zhang Chao exchanged glances, their hearts also sinking to the extreme.

Soon, the dictation continued.

The sound of *shua shua shua* echoed throughout the entire classroom.

Chen Yan sat in his seat and began to guide the second layer of blood-Qi toward the birth of his own universe.

Logically speaking, as he was growing stronger now, the Saint-Breaking Tree must certainly be producing Saint-Breaking Fruits.

Yet Chen Yan could not sense the existence of the Saint-Breaking Tree at this moment.

It was not a problem with the Saint-Breaking Tree.

It was a problem with Chen Yan himself.

His consciousness was firmly locked within this illusory world.

If Chen Yan were to leave the illusion, the Saint-Breaking Tree would likely have already borne dozens of Saint-Breaking Fruits.

Moreover, after the accumulation of so many days.

The progress of the "Break" character Saint-Breaking Fruit had also reached an incredibly exaggerated level.

Eighty-seven percent!

The day the "Break" character Saint-Breaking Fruit fully matured would be when Chen Yan's greatest opportunity appeared.

Meanwhile, Lu Jianxia's mood was clearly not as good as Chen Yan's.

Pain.

As she continued to transcribe, Lu Jianxia's body began to tremble slightly.

The aura of life and death was about to run out again.

And this time, there was simply no reason for this Great Xia Chen Yan to come and help her.

The other party had no need to make use of her at all.

Sweat seeped from Lu Jianxia's forehead, and the feeling of depression grew increasingly intense.

The world seemed to have turned gray.

It was also at this moment.

A wisp of powerful aura of life and death suddenly struck, which even caused Lu Jianxia to be startled.
