Chapter 670: The Bewildered Lu Xunyang

"Everyone," Chen Changyuan began:

"Sign a Life Seal with me, and I will ensure you do not die."

His voice fell.

Silence.

The entire school was instantly plunged into a strange, eerie silence.

The next moment.

"Chen Changyuan!"

A roar of extreme fury resounded.

A Great Xia Creation Realm expert's eyes widened, and they instantly cursed in anger:

"You are too arrogant, how dare you do this!"

It was not just them; everyone was incomparably furious.

What is a Life Seal?

It is the establishment of a master-servant relationship.

Just as Xia Hanzhou had planted a Life Seal regarding Chen Yan within San Jin's body back then.

Once a Life Seal is planted, if Chen Yan dies, then San Jin will die.

Therefore, San Jin must help Chen Yan and protect Chen Yan.

These Creation Realm experts were not San Jin.

And Chen Changyuan was not Chen Yan.

That was why they were so enraged.

Ancient Divine Beasts suppressing the human race—that is an enemy of the race.

But now, Chen Changyuan was using the might of an Ancient Divine Beast to suppress the human race.

Is this not a disgrace?

Even if some Creation Realm experts had signed contracts with Chen Changyuan at the very beginning, those were merely dealings of interest.

But now, it was absolutely a disgrace.

Shen Yiwei watched with cold eyes, but soon, Shen Yiwei's heart grew colder and colder.

Even though Chen Changyuan had spoken so brazenly about signing a Life Seal.

The existences within these Illusionary Realm worlds, such as the Principal, were not angry at all, but instead revealed smiles.

What exactly had Chen Changyuan done?

Why would the other side receive such preferential treatment from the Illusionary Realm worlds?

Xia Long was thinking about much more.

Chen Changyuan had a great connection to the Chen Master; was Chen Changyuan's behavior related to the Chen Master?

After all, after Chen Yan handed Chen Yunyou over to Great Xia, Xia Long was aware of the problem with Chen Prefecture.

Chen Prefecture had gone nearly a thousand years without a Prefecture Luminary.

Yet, Chen Prefecture had not erupted with malice.

Why had it not erupted?

If the malice of a prefecture did not require a Prefecture Luminary, then the Xia Clan would not be suffering so much.

To suppress the malice of a prefecture, one must have a Prefecture Luminary.

This was the only solution analyzed by the Xia Master back then.

Chen Prefecture was unharmed.

This was the biggest problem.

A massive problem!

The chill in Xia Long's heart grew more intense.

The roars on the entire playground were also increasing.

Chen Changyuan had touched the bottom line in everyone's hearts.

"Chen Changyuan, are you even human!"

"Back then, I could have killed you with a single finger; now it's your turn to be so rampant!"

"Damn you!"

Roars resounded one after another.

Some had veins bulging and necks turned the color of liver, others had eyes wide open and bloodshot, their nostrils flaring violently.

Chen Changyuan watched indifferently, then suddenly smiled:

"You lot are truly not even one percent as good as Chen Yan."

His voice fell, and some narrowed their eyes.

Chen Changyuan stood with his hands behind his back and spoke indifferently:

"When facing Ancient Divine Beasts, you groveled like dogs wagging their tails for pity.

Yet turning to me, you bare your fangs and claws like vicious wolves; you are truly cowardly rats who bully the weak and fear the strong!"

A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Changyuan's mouth as he walked to the side of the line, walking calmly.

"At the very least, Chen Yan never treated people with such discrimination, but you lot..."

He looked faintly at one person and tapped a finger on their shoulder:

"Luo Xu, back then my father Chen Sanyuan knelt before you begging, and you didn't even spare him a glance.

Do you really think I..."

Hiss, hiss, hiss!!!

Strands of malice suddenly erupted from Chen Changyuan's fingertips, incomparably pure and incomparably dense.

In an instant, they drilled into the chest of the person named Luo Xu.

"Have you forgotten?"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The Creation Realm expert named Luo Xu collapsed to the ground instantly.

Malice assaulted his body!

No one is Chen Yan, who can ignore such pure malice.

Screams rang out.

Xia Long's face was full of rage, but he was held back by Shen Yiwei at his side.

"Ji Falin." Chen Changyuan arrived in front of another person again.

The man named Ji Falin's face turned pale instantly, and his legs went weak.

"You supported the rise of the Aristocratic Family Alliance in Ji Province, but you and the others took from the Aristocratic Family Alliance without limit; you once said to me that a dog is just a dog.

Right?"

Chen Changyuan swept his gaze indifferently toward Ji Falin.

In an instant.

With a thud.

Ji Falin knelt directly on the ground, lowered his head, and said:

"That day, it was indeed my fault!"

His face flushed red, he gritted his teeth, and his whole body was trembling.

As a Creation Realm expert, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

But now, with that terrifying threat of life and death arriving, he found he simply could not endure it.

He had thought he could endure it.

He had once sworn to the Ji Lord that he was willing to give everything for Ji Province.

But now, he truly understood what kind of person he was.

Chen Changyuan walked with quiet steps and arrived in front of another person.

That person chuckled:

"Long time no see, old brother."

"Jiang Yuan..." Chen Changyuan narrowed his eyes:

"I never thought I would have such an immortal under my command."

Jiang Yuan smiled:

"Compared to you, what kind of immortal am I?"

Chen Changyuan revealed an interested expression:

"You want to submit to me?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yuan smiled:

"When did I ever say I wanted to submit to a pig?"

Chen Changyuan's expression remained calm; Jiang Yuan's one or two insults could not stir his emotions at all.

If one could be swayed by the words of others, one would ultimately only be a weakling.

Ultimately, one would be an emotional slave to others.

There have been too many such people in human history.

The most extreme was the Master of Horizontal Refining; true indifference led to true strength.

He looked deeply at Jiang Yuan:

"I underestimated you.

You are a talent; perhaps you are the person with the greatest aptitude in the history of the Martial Dao, and I do not wish to kill you."

A trace of appreciation appeared in his eyes.

Jiang Yuan gave a faint smile:

"You must have forgotten the Chen Yan siblings."

"Chen Yan..." Chen Changyuan raised his eyebrows slightly; he was not sure how much longer Chen Yan could live.

Soon, his expression became indifferent as he looked at everyone:

"Three days' time; three days is enough for you to think it over in detail and find me to sign the Life Seal."

Immediately, Chen Changyuan left directly.

His eyes were indifferent.

Within three days, he would advance to the Eighth Rank.

After the Eighth Rank, he would be able to truly grasp everything.

"I have already given you a chance; submit to me and welcome the new world with me."

His voice drifted away.

On the playground, everyone's expressions were ugly; some were angry, some were desperate, and some were plunged into pain.

Being plunged into pain was because they had already begun to struggle.

The expressions of Shen Yiwei, Xia Long, and the others became increasingly ugly.

If they were to sign the Life Seal with Chen Changyuan, it would be more painful than killing them.

Of course they won't sign.

But just because they won't sign doesn't mean there aren't others who will.

Especially those who have already begun to struggle.

Things are developing for the worse.

Time passed slowly.

One day.

Two days.

Until the dawn of the third day.

Outside.

The firmament suddenly shed its blazing golden radiance, and thousands of stars poured out from the fissures in the clouds.

The birth of an Eighth Rank, the morning light of heaven and earth!

Endless phenomena were generated simultaneously in the Five Races Conflict and in the outside world.

People looked up toward the Vault of Heaven in unison.

Powerful existences even began to pay attention to the changes within the phenomena.

Until a certain moment.

"The duration has actually exceeded a minute and a half; is this a Four-Fold Self-Universe entering the Eighth Rank?"

"Who is it?"

"It is one of the weaker ones among the Four-Fold Self-Universes, and the strongest among the Three-Fold Self-Universes."

"Who is it this time? Could it be Zhang Ting?"

Sounds of astonishment rang out one after another.

If it were only speculation in the outside world.

Inside the Forbidden Land of Ancient Gods.

Lu Xunyang's entire body overflowed with golden-red light; gazing at the Vault of Heaven at this moment, he furrowed his brows.

Because he felt that the existence ascending to the Eighth Rank did not seem far from him.

The next moment, pitch-black light overflowed from the depths of his single eye, and he used the aura of life and death to reinforce his pupil, peering into the depths of the rules.

All this time, the true form of the Shi Meng Mo had never appeared.

But the other party had been secretly using rules to restrict Lu Xunyang.

At this moment, when Lu Xunyang saw through the rules and stared fixedly at where the Shi Meng Mo was.

The next moment, Lu Xunyang grabbed out violently.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

The aura of life and death transformed into tangible chains that pierced into the endless void, forcibly locking onto the body of the Shi Meng Mo.

"None of you are leaving! If you want to fight, then fight me to the end!"

The Shi Meng Mo wanted to leave.

While Lu Xunyang used the aura of life and death to hold onto the Shi Meng Mo, he felt astonished in his heart.

What is going on?

How did that Chen Yan ascend to the Eighth Rank again?

Didn't the other party already have the aura of life and death in their body?

Why could they ascend again?

Waves of shock emerged in Lu Xunyang's heart.

At this moment, the Shi Meng Mo wanting to leave was the best choice for him.

After all, once the Shi Meng Mo left, he could focus on dealing with the already severely injured Underworld Nightmare Beast.

But if the Shi Meng Mo left, without Lu Xunyang's interference, it could also focus on dealing with Chen Yan, who was ascending within its own body.

Clearly, the Shi Meng Mo had sensed a trace of crisis.

Compared to the life or death of the Underworld Nightmare Beast, its own safety was naturally more important.

"What is going on? What is this situation?"

Blazing light erupted within Lu Xunyang's single eye; for a moment, he was completely uncertain.

After Chen Yan's second ascension, will the aura of life and death increase?

I told you to take three days, that was for you to use that time to spy on the Shi Meng Mo's rules.

It wasn't for you to ascend to the Eighth Rank again and gain more aura of life and death.

Kid, did you misunderstand my meaning?

Lu Xunyang had ten thousand questions in his heart at this moment.

He didn't understand.

During the time he was suppressed in the Forbidden Land of Ancient Gods, what exactly happened in the human world?

"Stay here for me!"

Lu Xunyang roared violently.

The entire Forbidden Land of Ancient Gods surrounding him began to boil instantly.

Lu Xunyang was going all out.

He originally hadn't intended to rely on Chen Yan.

But seeing Chen Yan's changes now, he had to change his plan.

At the very least, he had to hold back the Shi Meng Mo.

Do not let the consciousness of the Shi Meng Mo infiltrate one's own body.

That's right, the consciousness of Chen Yan and the others was actually pulled into the Shi Meng Mo's own body.

Once the Shi Meng Mo's consciousness returns to its body, wanting to kill Chen Yan would be too simple.

But now, Lu Xunyang has completely changed his plan.

At the same time.

Powerful!

A feeling of becoming increasingly powerful emerged within Chen Yan's body.

Chen Yan slowly opened his eyes.

His true body is still in the Magnetic Storm Thunder Prison, and currently, the connection between this physical vessel and his true body is not high.

It can be seen as having an extremely thin and long conduit between the true body and this body.

Because the conduit is too thin, the power of Chen Yan's true body was reduced by multiples and then transported over.

Therefore, at the very beginning, Chen Yan only had the strength of three adult men.

Now, after Chen Yan's second level of the True Martial Dao's self-universe formed and then was destroyed, it has been reborn once more.

Achieving reincarnation.

This body of Chen Yan's now possesses at least the strength of ten adult men.

Of course, this level of power is truly too weak.

Even if it has become stronger.

But facing the Principal, or the ten eighth-rank Ancient God Beasts in the hospital, he is still an existence like an ant.

But the problem is, after Chen Yan's second level of the True Martial Dao's self-universe achieved reincarnation.

A new aura of life and death was born.

This time, Chen Yan obtained a full ten strands of the aura of life and death.

Adding the previous eight strands, that makes eighteen strands.

The aura of life and death represents the power of rules.

The more power of rules Chen Yan masters now, the stronger his ability to break through the rule constraints of this place becomes.

Perhaps, he can completely open up the connection between this body and his true body, allowing the power of the true body to fully bloom upon this body.

Chen Yan's expression changed.

Immediately, he looked at the dozen or so people in front of him.

While Chen Yan was in seclusion, these dozen or so people had been waiting.

These are the human race of this world.

Seeing Chen Yan finish his seclusion, at this moment, including the man wearing black-rimmed glasses, everyone's gaze toward Chen Yan became even more reverent.

"Perhaps, we should talk about how to destroy this world."

Chen Yan stood up, his voice cold.

His voice fell.

The bespectacled man was stunned, his eyes flickering constantly, and then he bowed directly in salute.

Following his bow in salute.

The remaining dozen or so people also bowed in unison.
