Chapter 722: Hehehe

Across Chen Yan's body, hideous bloodstains emerged, yet a True Martial power, concentrated to the extreme, overflowed from within those marks.

A series of nascent auras of life and death were being born.

This time, Chen Yan directly caused his four internal universes to be destroyed and regenerated simultaneously.

The path of power is comparable to a metamorphosis.

An increasingly distant and sacred aura was born upon Chen Yan, as if he were constantly transcending the mortal world at this moment, thoroughly transforming into a deity.

"Life and death..."

Chen Yan murmured, extending his palm; the pitch-black aura of life and death flowed across his palm like a small river.

Two hundred and three strands of life and death aura.

This quantity was simply horrifying.

This metamorphosis of Chen Yan's directly resulted in the birth of one hundred and thirty strands of life and death aura.

This made Chen Yan's grasp of the rules increasingly clear.

He gradually perceived the invisible shackles that Chen Zhu had placed upon him with increasing clarity.

Indeed, something was influencing him.

This influence would become increasingly terrifying as time passed.

But was this influence truly faster than the speed at which Chen Yan was growing stronger?

Chen Yan looked toward the Saint-Breaking Tree.

Ten fruits, each the size of a sack, hung from the branches.

These were the 【Store】 Saint-Breaking Fruits.

Within them, they were filled with the energy opportunities extracted from the body of the Shi Meng Mo by the 【Eternal Calamity Counter-Blood】.

Chen Yan could also perceive that the entire Pure True Yang Realm was currently in a state of decay.

The Shi Meng Mo must have already detected Chen Yan's absorption.

If it hadn't even noticed this, this powerful ancient divine beast could not have lived until now.

But it no longer had the heart to deal with Chen Yan, having handed the task of exterminating Chen Yan over to Chen He.

It had not even locked onto Chen Yan during this period.

It was terrified that Chen Yan and the others would escape again, dodging Chen He's extermination.

A perfectly fine one of the five great ancient divine beasts, reduced to this state.

Beset by internal and external troubles, it was simply pitiful.

All its current expectations, I fear, still rested on the meager amount of ancient divine aura within Chen Changyuan.

Chen Yan cast 【Decay Control - Saintly Condensation of the Primordial】, locking onto Chen Lanqiu once again.

Chen He and the others had already appeared, waiting at a distance of fully two hundred thousand kilometers from Chen Yan.

Perhaps because Chen He needed to condense the Underworld Sea Great Array, he was not in a hurry.

There was only one and a half days left until the time Chen He had planned to make his move.

Chen He would thoroughly charge the Underworld Sea Great Array there, then launch it directly to destroy Chen Yan and the others.

But Chen Yan always felt there was some problem.

Since he could not find where the problem lay, Chen Yan would prepare multiple plans to cope.

Following that, Chen Yan looked toward the end of the meridian belonging to Chen Yu.

The young girl was currently in a state of soul without a physical body, her entire being wrapped in golden array patterns, looking like a nimble fairy.

Chen Yan pondered for a while.

Behind him, a blood-red meridian, extended by the 【Eternal Calamity Counter-Blood】 array and thrust deep into the core of the Pure True Yang Realm, was withdrawn from within the core.

It traveled along the ley lines.

At the same time.

In a place extremely far from Chen Yan, Chen Yu was constantly casting spatial arrays, rushing toward the place where Chen Yan was located.

It was also at this moment.

*Puchi! *

The earth was pierced by a blood-red meridian, appearing within Chen Yu's line of sight.

Danger!

An endless sense of crisis arrived instantly, and Chen Yu was about to flee in an instant.

"Xiaoyu."

The blood-red meridian vibrated at a specific frequency, emitting Chen Yan's voice.

Soon, wisps of golden-red immortal will were spat out from the tip of the meridian, transforming into Chen Yan's figure.

"Brother?" Chen Yu was full of surprise and bewilderment.

What kind of method was this?

But she was incomparably familiar with Chen Yan's immortal will; that scorching and vigorous feeling was something no one else would possess.

"Xiaoyu..."

The avatar of will chuckled:

"I came to find you because I want you to teach me how to craft spatial array disks."

Chen Yu looked at Chen Yan suspiciously:

"Who exactly are you?"

"Don't mess around, Xiaoyu, I have a plan and need to craft spatial array disks."

Chen Yu's entire body was surrounded by golden secret texts, as if she were draped in sacred radiance, but she remained full of suspicion.

Chen Yan arrived before Chen Yu in an instant and patted Chen Yu's head:

"If I were an enemy, you would have been dead long ago."

Chen Yu pouted:

"But big brother, haven't I already given you many spatial formation disks?"

"Those have all been planted everywhere by Ke Qingxuan; if I take them back, it will attract the attention of others." Chen Yan said calmly:

"I am being watched."

Chen Yu's expression turned cold:

"Shi Meng Mo?"

"People from Chen Prefecture." Chen Yan explained.

The young girl's face turned pale, coldness welled up in the depths of her eyes, and she looked at Chen Yan:

"Big brother, how many do you need? I can make them now."

"It is still too slow for you to make them alone. If I can make them with you, the efficiency will improve quite a bit." Chen Yan smiled.

Chen Yu opened her mouth.

To match the combat power of someone like Chen Yan, a spatial formation disk must be at least Sun-Level Grade B.

Even though she was skilled through practice, it would still take her at least two hours to produce a formation disk capable of spanning ten thousand miles.

However, although her big brother could also produce Sun-Level Grade D protective inscriptions, he had never dabbled in spatial formation disks at all.

Now that her big brother was in such a critical situation, he wanted to start learning spatial formation disks from scratch and then apply them to combat.

This was simply... a pipe dream.

"If I become a Formation God Venerable, I will definitely use the first God-Level grand formation on Chen Prefecture."

The young girl clenched her fists, filled with endless coldness.

Most of the tragedy their family had encountered was brought about by Chen Prefecture.

She hated them to the core.

But, how much time would it take to become a Formation God Venerable?

Even with her heaven-defying aptitude, the woman in the red dress had said that it would take Chen Yu at least five years to become a Formation God Venerable.

"But, brother..." Chen Yu tugged on Chen Yan's sleeve, her eyes full of anxiety:

"You are so smart, is there any other way?"

She felt that Chen Yan had been pushed into a corner and was looking for methods that were simply unreliable.

*Slap. *

Chen Yan gently patted Chen Yu's head:

"If I tell you to teach, then teach."

"Ouch." Chen Yu let out a soft cry, then immediately said "Oh."

But she was clearly starting to get anxious; she reached out her hands, her fair, white fingers trembling slightly.

Rays of talisman light emerged from Chen Yu's fingertips, and crystalline beams of light seemed to interweave with the void, pulling at certain strange existences within the nothingness.

Chen Yu's face became increasingly ethereal, but her slender body trembled continuously:

"Brother... brother, who is coming..."

She was a little nervous:

"Isn't this inside the body of the Shi Meng Mo? Why would people from Chen Prefecture come here?"

Bean-sized tears welled up from the depths of Chen Yu's eyes.

"We finally managed to hide from Chen Changyuan, but there is still a Shi Meng Mo, why must people from Chen Prefecture come too..."

Her little mouth was pursed, and the more Chen Yu activated the spatial formation disk, the more intense the grievance in her eyes became.

The world was too unfair to their family.

She would rather not have this so-called talent, nor this so-called power.

"Brother, don't be a Heavenly God General, don't be a Martyr anymore, okay..."

More and more tears fell; immortal mist permeated Chen Yu's hands, formation patterns intertwined, and tremors affecting the space were produced continuously, creating a wondrous resonance with this space.

But the young girl's condition was getting worse and worse.

She was not Chen Yan; she had never lived under such high pressure.

All this time, when she asked her teacher, the teacher would teach her various methods of disguise, hiding, and concealing her talents.

But now, even if she asked her teacher, the teacher had no way either.

If anyone else were Chen Yan, they would have died a hundred times over already.

"Big brother, you can't learn this now, I... I learned for a long time... I haven't slept for a very long time..."

In Chen Yu's eyes, tears were constantly welling up.

She wanted to persuade Chen Yan to leave this place.

Even if the world was destroyed.

Couldn't their family just hide away?

She didn't care about wealth or glory; as long as she could eat the food her dad made every day and live with her big brother every day, that would be enough.

"Brother, is this time... dangerous?"

Chen Yu cried until she was a tear-stained mess, her eyes red.

"Brother..."

Her vision was full of crystalline tears, and her eyes stung from the golden formation disk she was activating in her hands.

She looked toward Chen Yan:

"Brother, let me come over to your side... eh?"

Chen Yu wiped away her tears and gazed over earnestly.

In Chen Yan's hand, an exquisite and complex array disc was currently emerging.

This array disc looked as if it were composed of hundreds of millions of tiny parts, with every single part operating with absolute precision.

It was simply a creation of heavenly craftsmanship.

Chen Yu pursed her lips and looked back down at her own hands.

The semi-finished spatial array disc she had been crafting was still in her hand, which meant...

Chen Yan had been watching her work while simultaneously imitating it.

And then he had imitated it with absolute precision.

Heavens...

"Continue," Chen Yan said calmly as he looked at Chen Yu.

He could even craft God-tier grand arrays, so how could he not craft a Sun-tier Grade B spatial array disc?

It was just like a master chef capable of preparing a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast making stir-fried noodles alongside another cook.

Chen Yan possessed every single culinary technique.

The only thing missing was learning how to combine these culinary techniques to make a bowl of stir-fried noodles.

This was the value that a single 【Break】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit had brought to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan smiled as he looked at his younger sister.

Fearing that his sister's Dao heart would shatter, he spoke up:

"Actually, I... have been researching this in private for a long time."

Chen Yan sighed suddenly; his sister was actually a genius among geniuses, the best of the best.

But who told you that your brother is a cheater.

That faith coming from hundreds of millions of living beings was truly a bit too thick.

It was as if there were countless shouts, countless cheers of worship, and also as if there were countless difficult roars.

Some of them were calling out for the Lord of Will.

Some were calling out for the Heavenly God General.

Some were calling out for Chen Yan.

They were waiting for the arrival of the Lord of Will.

They were incredibly eager for the coming of a new world.

"Oh... oh."

Chen Yu nodded blankly and continued to craft the spatial array disc.

The tears in her eyes were still dripping, but the sadness on her face was gradually disappearing.

"Pfft..."

She suddenly laughed, like mountain flowers in full bloom.

"Hehehe..."

Chen Yu's shoulders shook, her dimples shallow; first she smiled with charming grace, and then her face blossomed into a smile like a flower.

"Heeheehee..."

She laughed while looking at Chen Yan, repeating this action over and over.

Even though teardrops still hung in the corners of her eyes, she was still as mischievous as ever.

Chen Yan raised an eyebrow slightly; Chen Yu had not had her Dao heart shatter upon realizing her lack of aptitude, unlike Yu Qing.

"Hahaha..."

The sound of snickering rang out incessantly.
