Chapter 700: Bugs gathered together are still bugs!

Boom!

The firmament shattered, and the earth sank.

Chen Yan's gaze was like a torch, his entire body burning with a will of fire as scorching as the sun.

Within his domain, golden lotuses bloomed and long rivers surged; every wisp of radiance seemed capable of crushing eternity, and every ripple could grind rules to dust.

Will Domain, breaking laws, breaking the rules of the world, the rules of the Ancient Gods.

Evolved from Chen Yan's Will Divine Body, it had erupted to its absolute peak following the Battle of the Blood Pool.

While within the domain, eighth-tier rule-based martial arts could not judge Chen Yan, could not lock onto Chen Yan.

Countless imperfections formed the final imperfect perfection.

If this battle had not reached a white-hot stage, Chen Yan would not have deployed the Will Domain.

"Do not use the aura of life and death!"

An Ascender roared in a low voice: "Using our Qi-blood and hard-body cultivation alone is enough to drag him to his death!"

He opened his eyes wide in rage:

"Right now, it is the six of us against one!!!"

Chen Yan looked on indifferently; he took a step forward, and the void beneath his feet exploded with spiderweb-like cracks, golden ripples sweeping out like a tidal wave.

"Bugs gathered together are still bugs!"

Hiss!!!

A blood-robed Ascender lunged forward with a roar, his twin claws tearing out thousand-foot blood rays, only to be pressed back by Chen Yan's backhand.

As he pressed down with one hand, waves of Will power cascaded down like ten thousand layers of flame.

The Ancient God beast's offensive suddenly solidified, then began to disintegrate starting from the tips of its claws.

Boom!

Another Ascender knocked him aside and roared:

"Why didn't you dodge?!"

The blood-robed Ascender's eyes widened:

"My cognition was interfered with!"

The blood-robed Ascender gritted his teeth; in that instant just now, he had the feeling of being instantly crushed by an endless illusion.

All of his cognition had been destroyed.

Who was he, what was he doing, why was he alive?

An ink-robed Ascender roared in a low voice:

"Focus fire on him from a distance!!!"

As his voice fell, his hands exploded outward, and pitch-black light swords filled with malice swirled around his body.

"Extinction Sword, shoot him down!"

Swish swish swish swish!!!

Ten thousand pitch-black longswords paved the heavens and earth.

Roar!!!

In the sky, ten thousand beasts hissed, countless wild beasts galloping!

The blood-robed Ascender performed a technique, using the power of Qi-blood to condense a world of ten thousand beasts.

Suddenly.

Where the firmament cracked, a Kunpeng flapped its wings, churning the clouds, its silver scales reflecting the sun like ten thousand blades suspended in the air.

A Yinglong whipped its tail, splitting the purple lightning, thunder booming amidst its green scales.

The roaring of ten thousand beasts shattered the dome of the sky, and as mountains and rivers inverted, the heavens and earth changed color.

Ten thousand swords and ten thousand beasts attacked in unison.

Chen Yan's eyes were indifferent, a golden-red and terrifying pressure spilling out from his body in waves.

Vibration!

The pure golden world vibrated crazily at this moment, and Will power, like the flood discharge of billions of large reservoirs, erupted instantly.

As Chen Yan reached out a hand, a golden-red orb of light slowly flew out.

【Void-Breaking - Saint-Condensation】!

Boom!!!

The orb of light exploded, transforming into ten thousand streams of pure golden light that streaked across the horizon.

Shattering the ten thousand swords, destroying the ten thousand beasts, annihilating every offensive.

As layers of Will ripples expanded, all the Ascenders present trembled in unison.

The blood-robed Ascender's pupils shrank wildly, seeing that a world of pure gold had already surrounded him.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!!

The power of Will began to devour and extinguish all the malice within his body, and his physical form began to melt.

"Save... save me!"

He revealed an innocent and desperate expression, reaching out toward the five Ascenders in the distance.

Slap!!!

A large hand had already grabbed his head.

"Save me!"

He wailed, but he could not stop the trend of his head being crushed.

Pitch-black viscous fluid spurted out from the gaps in his sunken skull.

Just like crushing a soda can filled with beverage, his head was crushed in an instant.

"A group of beasts, raised by the human race, yet having forgotten their own roots."

An indifferent voice resounded.

His eyes were calm, but that voice was filled with endless killing intent.

"So your wails are this melodious."

His eyes looked toward the Firmament, and the Blood-Drawing Array Disk that had been destroyed by him was now unexpectedly restored once more.

Countless wronged souls were being ruthlessly harvested; they wailed and screamed, casting looks of plea for help toward Chen Yan.

For some reason, as Chen Yan looked over, he saw countless Zhou Lu, countless Zhou Jiayi.

They opened their mouths wide, roaring with all their might.

"Chen Yan, save me."

Just like that day, just like today.

Once, in a land of bitter cold, that youth had looked up to the sky and shouted words like "slay the injustices of the world."

But as he grew, as he became powerful.

More and more injustices, more and more tragic injustices appeared time and time again.

Was he truly cutting down injustice, or was he witnessing it?

The world was revealing its true malice to him, time and time again.

What, in the end, had he changed?

What, in the end, had he accomplished?

The world was like a quagmire, like an abyss, like an endless dark night.

"You bastard!!!"

Wu Song, bound by the black beam of light, shed tears of blood.

"You beast, ahhhhh!!!"

He was angry to the extreme, struggling, and countless bloodstains appeared on his body.

Including Hong Mi, the Creation Realm natives of the Pure Truth Yang Realm all had blood-red eyes, roaring.

Those were the indigenous people of the Pure Truth Yang Realm.

They were their compatriots.

A person's life is filled with endless malice and torment; within their short lives, they struggle and hope.

Today, they were to be harvested by others like this.

"Heaven, have you truly seen it?" Wu Song roared:

"Have you truly seen it?

Two thousand years, it has been two thousand years!!!"

His roar resounded through the clouds, his teeth were bitten through by force, and blood sprayed from his mouth.

"Two thousand years, is that not enough?!

How many more years must my Pure Truth Yang Realm be devastated!"

He was furious, roaring.

The eleventh ascender had lit their hope, but now that the spark has been passed on, when will it be able to start a prairie fire?

I do not know.

I do not know.

Today, watching compatriots be humiliated, watching those of the same blood struggle, yet unable to change it.

Endless hatred accumulated deep within their hearts.

They looked at Chen Yan, looked at that pure golden sun.

Boom!

Yet, one saw.

Chen Yan's figure was like lightning, instantly piercing through the sky, throwing a punch toward the high heavens.

The brilliant golden light was like a pillar; the moment it smashed into the Blood-Drawing Array, it was blocked by invisible forces, unable to destroy the Blood-Drawing Array.

Chen Changyuan's eyes shrank wildly; he opened his mouth wide, almost thinking Chen Yan was about to destroy the Blood-Drawing Array again.

But seeing this scene, Chen Changyuan's breathing became rapid, and he found it hard to laugh.

"Chen Yan, everything is helping me; the Shi Meng Mo is helping me, and the Lord of Will is also helping me!"

Chen Changyuan roared out loud:

"What is the meaning of all this you are doing? They are all helping me!

I am the Heaven-Chosen!!!"

His voice even began to tremble.

He suddenly realized that perhaps, relying on himself, he was not Chen Yan's match at all.

But everything was helping him.

The injustice of the world.

Made him stand in a place even higher than Chen Yan.

"Shi Meng Mo..."

Chen Yan spoke indifferently.

He knew that the root of all problems was the Shi Meng Mo.

Wu and Yu, those two original ascenders, had still not appeared.

Their own memory had once been erased by some existence.

That existence could only be the Shi Meng Mo.

This was something Chen Yan had known from the moment this battle began.

Their current outburst, their current strength, had always been within the other party's calculations.

They had always been an existence within a chess game.

What the other party was plotting was Chen Changyuan.

And they themselves were the existence that catalyzed Chen Changyuan to become even stronger.

Chen Changyuan would definitely die, but certainly not now.

And they, Chen Yan, would also die.

They had once discovered this conspiracy, but their memory had been erased.

They had always been a chess piece.

They had always been unable to break the game.

Unable to break the game?

A piercing radiance erupted from Chen Yan's eyes.

High above, those countless wronged souls were still wailing, still praying; their flesh and blood were being stripped away, and their divine souls were about to be devoured.

One Zhou Lu after another, one Zhou Jiayi after another.

It was as if they were telling Chen Yan that everything they had done had failed.

The world was still that same world, never having changed.

"If I cannot defy this world, I, Chen Yan, shall offer my death as an apology!"

They cast a glance, their eyes encompassing the entire heaven and earth.

Their voice resounded outward.

It was not spoken for Chen Changyuan to hear.

It was spoken for the Shi Meng Mo, for the malicious world, for themselves, and for the future human race.

A sense of being stared at struck.

A lock-on coming from the entire Pure True Yang Realm.

Like the gaze of a blood beast hidden in the abyss, it bared its fangs at Chen Yan like a devastating flood.

The Shi Meng Mo.

This existence that had not cared about Chen Yan from the very beginning.

At this moment, it was staring at Chen Yan.

Boom!

The firmament suddenly collapsed into a blood-colored vortex, descending upon the remaining five Ascendants.

"Exalted One!"

"No!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The five Ascendants hissed, wailed, and screamed in terror in unison.

Their bodies twisted and disintegrated amidst shrill roars, their flesh and blood boiling and intertwining like lava.

Pitch-black bone spurs pierced through each other's shells, scales and tendons twisted together madly, transforming into a deformed giant ten meters tall.

Its head resembled a dragon, its spine grew a thousand eyes, and the ends of its six sinewy arms split open, forming two rows of dozens of serrated mouthparts.

Countless twisted, pitch-black worms churned within, and every breath it took spewed out turbid mist that corroded the void.

Chirp!!!

Layers of malicious wind waves surged instantly, echoing through heaven and earth.

A powerful, extremely powerful sense of oppression erupted from this ancient divine beast.

It stared at Chen Yan just like that, carrying an indescribable ferocity and evil.

Malice, pure to the extreme, dripped from its body, terrifying enough to make one tremble.

"What is this?"

A Creation Realm martial artist spoke with difficulty:

"The five have merged into one!"

A look of terror appeared in their eyes.

Chen Changyuan widened his eyes, his breathing rapid; at this moment, the last trace of worry in his heart vanished.

The next instant.

Hum!

The pitch-black giant beast suddenly appeared before Chen Yan, staring down at Chen Yan from on high.

The thousand beast eyes on its spine suddenly opened, its right arm, covered in mouths, suddenly raised and smashed down!

The void tore open; the moment the arm pressed down, the worms churning in those mouths all opened their mouths and hissed in unison.

Countless gibberish, shrieks, and frantic, ear-piercing worm cries resounded just like that.

Chen Yan's eyes were indifferent, and they raised an arm.

Boom!!!

The moment the arms collided, layers of black light erupted from the point of contact, shattering the earth for a hundred miles, and endless pitch-blackness devoured the fractured land.

Following that.

Rumble!

Magma like a dragon surged forth from within.

Screech...

The thousand eyes of the terrifying giant beast all narrowed in unison at this moment; it had not expected Chen Yan to be able to take this strike of its.

The next instant, the giant beast's thick, sturdy leg whipped out in a flash, blasting Chen Yan away with a boom.

Chen Yan's body flew back explosively, the flesh at his waist where he had been kicked already cracked, blood spraying out, but his Immortal Will repaired the injury visibly to the naked eye.

His body, flying back explosively, tore through space, reaching a hundred miles away in an instant; the shattered earth beneath him changed rapidly, and Chen Yan's gaze was like lightning as the terrifying malice already appeared beside him.

The giant beast attacked, its tail lashing out in a frenzy, a world-ending thunderstorm erupting from between its green scales, yet Chen Yan caught the tip of the tail with one hand.

Chen Yan raised his hand.

With a bang!

Quickly grabbing it, surging True Martial Power erupted from Chen Yan's palm; gripping this tail tip, Chen Yan swung it, directly smashing the giant beast into the ground.

Screech!!!

The giant beast, moving at high speed, plowed a deep abyss hundreds of miles long across the earth; as it soared again, one of Chen Yan's legs had already struck.

Rumble!!!

This strike slammed directly into the giant beast's head; in an instant, the earth bulged, and billions of stone fragments flew.

The earth vein was pierced through by the giant beast's body, and endless magma sprayed out from the fissures in the earth vein.

The giant beast controlled its form, raising its head from the shattered earth vein.

Yet it suddenly saw a pair of eyes falling from the high heavens; Chen Yan pressed down with one palm, striking the giant beast's forehead, golden ripples spreading out from his palm, and the terrifying, immense force pressed the giant beast all the way into the magma.

The terrifying power surged madly beneath the earth vein, churning the magma.

Lu Jianxia and the others all looked at the earth beneath them, including the entire continental plate they were on, which was wailing in madness.

Earth fissures hundreds of miles long burst open one after another, magma spraying, black smoke filling the sky.

The world was being shattered.

Screech!!!

A bestial roar of extreme anger resounded from the depths of the earth.

The giant beast hissed endlessly.

Within the world of magma, the giant beast's hands grabbed Chen Yan's arms, tearing them apart madly.

In an instant, Chen Yan's arms were completely severed, but in the next moment, the surging Immortal Will caused Chen Yan's arms to regenerate.

Intense pain struck, but Chen Yan's expression did not change at all.

A brilliant orb of light condensed on his fist, exploded, and transformed into ten thousand streams of light, bombarding upward toward the giant beast.

【Void-Breaking - Saint-Condensation】!

Boom, boom, boom!

Ten thousand streams of light poured down like a rainstorm, striking the giant beast's body and the earth plate above.

Ten thousand rays of golden light erupted from the depths of the earth, shooting into the clouds.

Screech!!!

The pitch-black giant beast roared, the thousand eyes on its spine all seeming to hiss in anger.

In an instant, it blasted its way to Chen Yan's front.

It raised its arms, and countless fist shadows slammed down.

Chen Yan clenched his fists, immense True Martial Power wrapped in surging power of will rolling within his arms.

In an instant, he threw a punch!!!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

A series of frantic, explosive sounds resounded throughout the entire underground, like the shaking of the whole world.

Countless earth fissures were created, and the world was being destroyed.

High above, Chen Changyuan's eyes widened, looking at this scene in astonishment.

Even with five Ascenders merged, could they not suppress and kill Chen Yan?

A trace of bewilderment appeared in his eyes.

Malice rolled within his body, constantly devouring the fleshly power and countless divine souls transmitted from the Blood-Drawing Array.

Too slow, too slow, too slow!!!

Chen Changyuan roared in his heart.

If not for the fact that he had suddenly erupted with Immortal Will, entering the second realm of the Path of Will.

This made him cherish the Path of Will even more.

This forced him to divide his focus to protect the power of will within his body.

Because if he did not protect it, the malice within him, like an abyss, would instantly erode that strand of will power.

It was the will that had been delaying his progress.

If he wanted to be fast, the only way was to not care about his own power of will and no longer restrain the malice within his body.

But, could he do that?
