Chapter 721: Looking to the Future Again, the Blood Butcher Reappears

The outside world.

In an instant, rich and brilliant starlight poured down from beyond the firmament, blending with the radiance of the great sun; it was nothing short of magnificent.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant to the extreme.

It was as if an entire universe containing endless stars was pressing down upon the blue sky, presenting itself before the eyes of billions of living beings.

Across the entire human realm, countless people looked up, their mouths gradually falling open.

"Another titan is born, a Calamity Light titan."

Powerful, hidden Calamity Light realm experts trembled as they spoke.

An unprecedented, vast phenomenon was manifesting in the world today.

The Great Xia, the Five Clans, everyone was shocked.

"This is definitely a limit-breaking entry into the Eighth Rank, but the only person to break the limit and enter the Eighth Rank last time was Lu Xunyang."

A martial arts expert breathed rapidly, a name flashing through their mind in an instant.

"Chen Yan!"

"Only the Great Xia Heavenly God General could be this glorious!"

"Heaven helps our Great Xia, Heaven helps our Great Xia Heavenly God General!"

"The rise of the Heavenly God General is not due to Heaven's help; the only one who can help him is himself!"

Voices filled with pride and choked with tears rang out across the Great Xia.

Such a sight must be a limit-breaking entry into the Eighth Rank.

Who else could possibly break the limit to enter the Eighth Rank and surpass Lu Xunyang?

Among the billions in the world, only one person could achieve such a feat.

Chen Yan.

At this moment, the heads of the Five Clans gazed at the firmament in unison, their expressions sinking one by one.

They saw a pursuer once again, a junior who never stopped, who carried the expectations of the entire Great Xia, and who was now becoming increasingly terrifying.

"The timing... it's wrong; he shouldn't have entered the Calamity Light realm so quickly."

The Master of the Pool watched calmly, murmuring to himself, and slowly shook his head.

"Is it Chen Yan?

How is he still not dead?"

Upon the throne, the peerless Empress, clad in pitch-black battle armor with a beauty that could topple kingdoms, furrowed her delicate brows, feeling extremely irritated.

Back then, she had tried to persuade Chen Yan to join the Five Clans.

But Chen Yan had refused.

She was sick of Chen Zhou now; if not for Chen Zhou's own issues, how could he have created such a formidable enemy for the Five Clans?

Above a vast ocean.

The Master of the Universe, dressed in black robes, sat cross-legged; opposite him was a phantom, the phantom appearing in the likeness of Xia Hanzhou.

"Hahahaha!!!" Xia Hanzhou laughed out loud:

"Who else could it be but Chen Yan to break through like this? If you were a bit clearer-headed, you wouldn't need to wait; you could just join my Great Xia directly."

The Master of the Universe's seemingly robust body was wrapped in black robes, and beneath the shadow of his pitch-black hood, two points of light flickered:

"It is different from the data calculations of my Universe Province; Chen Yan should not have entered the Eighth Rank so quickly."

The Master of the Universe was extremely frustrated.

If he had known, he would have just slaughtered his own son, Yu Yi.

Didn't Chen Yan like to pretend to be his son?

Why didn't he just admit it?

As this thought surfaced in his mind again, the Master of the Universe planned to go back and throw Yu Yi directly into the Ten Thousand Year Rock Wall of the Universe Province to let him reflect properly.

"Still not right, it shouldn't be Chen Yan." The Master of the Universe shook his head:

"Tell me first, who exactly is Chen Yan to the Lord of Will, otherwise this meeting is over."

Xia Hanzhou was speechless:

"Since you already have your suspicions, why not just treat Chen Yan as the Lord of Will."

"Xia Hanzhou!" The Master of the Universe barked:

"Why don't you take a look at what your Xia Kingdom has become? You're still here, acting like a shameless politician without a care in the world.

Sometimes, muddling through won't solve anything!"

The Master of the Universe was about to explode; he really couldn't stand Xia Hanzhou anymore.

This old thing was a real bastard.

"I'll say it once: is the Lord of Will in your Xia Kingdom!?" The Master of the Universe stood up, waves of profound and powerful aura spilling out from his body.

Lightning flashed wildly in the two eyes beneath his hood, and a massive torrent of blue numbers flickered over them.

He had already invoked the highest authority to begin calculating cause and effect.

This was extremely resource-intensive.

But Xia Hanzhou's subsequent answer would directly affect the entire future trajectory of the Universe Province.

Xia Hanzhou was silent, his white hair drifting slowly in the sea breeze.

"Within the struggle of the Five Clans, my Great Xia is bound to clash with your Universe Province, creating killing and hatred."

The Master of the Universe spoke indifferently:

"Cast aside your parochial thinking; in the great progress of humanity, every attempt and sacrifice is necessary.

It is no wonder my Universe Province has always looked down on your Great Xia and the other four clans!"

The Universe Master laughed out loud:

"I tell you, Xia Hanzhou, on the journey of human revival, I am willing to sacrifice everything."

Xia Hanzhou's eyes widened, and the next moment, a surge of heroic momentum erupted completely; he stood up and stared straight at the Universe Master opposite him:

"Then I also tell you, Master of Will..."

Xia Hanzhou smiled, very proud, very arrogant:

"It is right here in my Great Xia!"

The Universe Master paused, his breathing becoming low:

"Take me to see him!"

Xia Hanzhou was stunned:

"You can't see him."

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!

The seawater churned, and towering waves exploded instantly.

The Universe Master's voice, filled with anger and coldness, rang out.

"Can't see him? What the hell are you talking about!"

…………

"This shouldn't be, it shouldn't be this early..."

In Chen Prefecture, the Chen Master murmured, wisps of blue smoke exhaling from his mouth.

He looked toward a certain direction and said:

"Calculate whether Chen Yan has already entered the Eighth Rank."

He did not issue an order to the Chen Prefecture Science Park; involving the Eighth Rank would be a huge drain for Chen Prefecture Science, and it could only calculate probabilities.

He had issued the order to Chen Qi.

In a distant land.

Chen Qi, who was still gazing at the high heavens, was startled:

"Calculating the Tribulation Light will place a huge burden on me..."

Chen Qi sighed low; he basically never used methods involving cause and effect.

On one hand, the moment it is calculated, the future might have already been changed.

This is unavoidable; even a change in the look in your eyes could potentially stir up monstrous waves in the future.

On the other hand, the higher the rank of the martial artist being calculated, the greater the danger faced.

You use the rules, and the rules are also staring at you.

The Chen Master did not speak again, but Chen Qi let out a long, heavy sigh:

"Fine, I will calculate it. If it truly is him, then I really am a sinner of Chen Prefecture."

He gave a bitter smile.

That day, he should not have left Xiaoyang City.

The next instant, he raised his head, and a chaotic color appeared in his eyes.

The aura of life and death flowed, and a transparent, illusory, and profound formation disk emerged behind him.

In an instant.

Chen Qi seemed to escape into the long river of time.

At this moment, he seemed to see the endless future, seeing the rolling, ceaseless long river of time.

He saw a blurred figure.

The figure was slender, wearing a black robe, holding a long spear from which black thunder leaked.

The aura was as cold as a demon from the human world.

On the long spear, blood was still dripping; it was incomparably murderous!

That person stepped over hundreds of thousands of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the killing intent radiating from his body was so thick that Chen Qi was stunned.

"How is this possible..."

He gradually opened his mouth, stunned, sluggish.

In the distant land, the Chen Master was also watching Chen Qi at this moment, squinting his eyes.

"Actually..."

Chen Qi's breathing was rapid, and his old face was taut:

"The future, it hasn't changed!!!"

He roared out, his weathered voice resounding throughout the entire room.

How could the future not have changed?

Could it be that his leaving Xiaoyang that day was inevitable, and had nothing to do with the corner of the future he had seen?

Or was it that even if he had stayed in Xiaoyang to invite Chen Yan, Chen Yan still would not have returned to the Chen Clan with him?

Was his own existence, in the face of a future that could be modified, merely dispensable?

Chen Qi refused to believe it, his whole body trembling.

Crack, crack, crack………

The sound of ice sealing everything rang out instantly, intending to freeze all the scenes Chen Qi was seeing.

Last time, in Xiaoyang City, it was because of this that Chen Qi did not continue to look.

At that time, he thought it was the method of the Prefecture Bright, and he was afraid, panicked, and did not continue to look.

But this time.

"Get out!!!"

Chen Qi roared, blood seeping from his eyes:

"Let me keep watching!"

He did not want to miss it again.

Streams of cold current suddenly appeared within his body, wanting to freeze everything, and the terrifying chill spread out from the room.

Outside the room, a series of screams rang out.

With Chen Qi's location as the center, everything was freezing.

The Chen Master's expression shifted slightly; his figure flickered as he arrived beside Chen Qi, waving one hand to isolate the spread of the chill.

But ice marks had already appeared on Chen Qi's body, looking extremely gruesome.

"Enough," the Chen Master said in a low shout.

"Let me keep watching!!!" Chen Qi said, his hair disheveled:

"Let me see, what exactly did I miss?!"

His eyes were wide open as he continued to perceive.

Yet he discovered that those terrifying waves of cold were emanating from the ink-colored robe on that young man's body.

"Divine Armor..."

Blood flowed from Chen Qi's eyes:

"No wonder... no wonder!!!"

He growled out loud.

It was that ink-colored robe, transformed from the Divine Armor, that blocked his perception; the Divine Armor was personally crafted by the Prefecture Master of the Great Xia's Eighteen Prefectures, so it naturally carried the Prefecture Master's aura.

So, he had known all along that day about the future where Chen Yan would become a Divine General.

It was just that he hadn't looked closely.

His worry and caution had caused him to make a grave mistake.

He acted like a madman, continuing to perceive.

The corpses at Chen Yan's feet...

The blurred scene gradually became clear, and everything became incomparably blinding.

Those were the corpses of the Five-Race Alliance army...

Chen Yan...

Had slaughtered hundreds of thousands of troops.

That place was...

Chen Qi felt it was familiar.

Where is this?

Ji Prefecture!

Bang! Bang!!!

Two explosive sounds rang out, and Chen Qi's eyes, already seeping blood, suddenly burst open; blood and debris instantly splattered into every corner of the room.

"Tell me, what is your realm?"

He roared desperately, using everything he had to perceive.

Yet the perception became increasingly blurred, and all the images were occupied by blinding light.

Until the very last moment when the light vanished.

He heard a voice.

"So what if it is Calamity Light?!

This General is in the Creation Realm, slaughtering an Eighth Rank is like slaughtering pigs and dogs!"

The next instant.

Pfft!

A mouthful of blood was spat out from Chen Qi's mouth, and the powerful Great Elder of Chen Prefecture collapsed onto the ground, utterly withered.

He gritted his teeth, and endless regret and fury appeared on his face.

"Heavens, what exactly... did I miss..."

To the side, the Chen Master's expression shifted, uncertain and gloomy.

"Tell me, has Chen Yan entered the Eighth Rank now?" the Chen Master asked.

Chen Qi shook his head:

"I saw him slaughter hundreds of thousands of troops in Ji Prefecture, using the Creation Realm to slay an Eighth Rank..."

The Chen Master was stunned, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

How can the Creation Realm slay an Eighth Rank?

Chen Qi's aura was withered, as if he knew the Chen Master's thoughts:

"I don't know, but I did indeed hear it..."

The Chen Master narrowed his eyes; Chen Yan had not entered the Eighth Rank.

That meant someone else had just ascended to the Eighth Rank; who was it?

He did not know.

When he thought it was Chen Yan just now, he had intended to call someone to bring back Chen He.

Chen He's strength was formidable; slaying an early-stage Eighth Rank was naturally no trouble at all, and even an Eighth Rank who had broken through like this was no trouble.

But what he wanted was a hundred-percent certainty of killing Chen Yan, not a lucky kill.

Now, since it was not Chen Yan who had entered the Eighth Rank, the heart of the Chen Lord, which had been slightly suspended, was set at ease.

"The future has not changed, why has the future not changed..." Chen Qi continued to mutter:

"He will definitely return from the Five Clans Conflict and slaughter the great army..."

The Chen Lord narrowed his eyes:

"I have already sent someone to kill him."

Chen Qi was stunned, but still smiled bitterly:

"The future has not changed."

"The person I sent is Chen He."

Chen Qi paused, and then fell silent.

"If it is Chen He..."

He sighed at length.

Chen He would naturally not have any problems if he took action, but that should have been the heaven-gifted talent of his Chen Prefecture.
