Chapter 758: Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, What Do I Have to Fear?

Beside the two, countless terrifying, booming sounds erupted, and silver sparks filled the sky, drifting and scattering wildly.

The Ji Sovereign gritted her silver teeth.

Dual divine artifacts!

The Great Xia was certainly treating Chen Yan well to grant him such treatment.

"When you came to Ji Province in the past, I should have killed you regardless of the cost!" the Ji Sovereign said, gritting her teeth.

Chen Yan, however, did not speak at all.

Boom!

Chen Yan charged directly toward the Ji Sovereign, pointing a finger out as a laser swept across.

【Condensing Radiance Style】!

The Ji Sovereign dodged to the side, but a laser beam left a bloody gash on her cheek, making her look pitifully beautiful.

If Lu Xunyang had not severely wounded her, she would not be in this state.

But at this moment, if she could not get past this hurdle of Chen Yan, she would truly die.

Various emotions churned deep within the Ji Sovereign's heart.

The next moment.

Boom!

The Ji Sovereign attacked!

The two collided instantly like streaks of light.

Right before the shocked eyes of the living beings of Ji Province, at the moment of impact, the Ji Sovereign's body was kicked flying by Chen Yan, crashing deep into the earth.

The Ji Sovereign had just rushed out of the earth, spitting out blood.

Chen Yan had already pursued her down, but the Ji Sovereign suddenly erupted, her blood-stained claws tearing toward Chen Yan's throat.

Yet Chen Yan only knew how to charge forward at this moment, completely ignoring the killing blow coming from the Ji Sovereign.

The Ji Sovereign was even a bit stunned.

A madman!

Boom!

The two collided!

During their struggle, they crashed into an underground shopping street; the shockwave crushed the load-bearing pillars, and the ground collapsed for a hundred miles around.

Deep in the earth, the Ji Sovereign's fingernails shattered and her finger bones snapped backward, yet she still smashed her head into the center of Chen Yan's brow.

The veins on Chen Yan's temples bulged as he wrapped his arms around the Ji Sovereign's waist, swinging her up and smashing her toward the high sky.

Pfft!

The Ji Sovereign's body was still hurtling toward the void as she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Even though she had swallowed a god-level spiritual medicine, such an intense battle left her with no time for it to take effect.

Her current combat strength was not even one percent of what it had been before.

She was, in fact, completely unable to defeat Chen Yan at this moment.

But the next instant, her pupils shrank as a massive fist already struck toward her.

Chen Yan's body rose, the shadow of a mountain faintly appearing behind him.

【Meteor Mountain Style】!

Boom!

One punch!

Crack!

This punch struck the Ji Sovereign directly in the face, and her high, prominent nose bridge instantly caved in.

"Chen Yan!!!"

The Ji Sovereign's eyes were momentarily dazed; having lived until now, she had never been pummeled like this by anyone.

As the punch landed, her beautiful face was already blurred and unrecognizable.

"You really... have a hard face!" Chen Yan said coldly; for an ordinary eighth-rank, his punch would have already blown their head apart.

The Ji Sovereign was already severely wounded, and yet only her nose bridge had broken.

This scene made the entire Ji Province, and even the Five Clans, glare with burning eyes, their killing intent soaring to the heavens.

When had the Ji Sovereign ever been this disheveled, this ugly?

She was the Empress, the supreme sovereign.

But no amount of rage was of any use.

Because the next instant, Chen Yan's palm, like a straight blade, pierced into the Ji Sovereign's chest, entering the gap in her armor already shattered by Lu Xunyang, and blood sprayed out in an instant.

"Chen Yan!!!"

The Ji Sovereign was angry to the extreme; she brought her palm-blade down, severing the arm Chen Yan had thrust into her chest.

Yet she was completely unable to pull out this severed arm of Chen Yan's.

Because just in that moment, Chen Yan's hand had already gripped her heart.

If she had not been fast enough, Chen Yan would have already crushed her heart.

Now, with the arm stuck in her chest, the Ji Sovereign looked even more disheveled.

But avoiding this life-and-death danger did not cause Chen Yan to hesitate in the slightest.

The radiance of will swirled over Chen Yan's severed arm, and the moment he threw a punch, a new arm had already appeared.

Seeing this punch about to strike, blood spilled from the Ji Sovereign's eyes.

Powerless.

Before the battle against Lu Xunyang, she was already on the verge of death, and it was only to protect Zhao Zhugui that she had taken action.

The more she fought, the heavier her injuries became, and now she was completely exhausted.

"My Lord!!!"

High above, Ji Yanqing roared with difficulty, his eyes turning red as he watched this scene:

"Divine Phoenix Army!!!"

Ji Yanqing's roar resounded through the heavens and earth.

At this moment, he bypassed the Ji Lord and ordered the Divine Phoenix Army to mobilize.

But the next instant.

"You shall not!" the Ji Lord said coldly.

Immediately following.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

A continuous barrage of punches!

The Ji Lord's physical body was beaten until it caved in, flesh and blood splattering everywhere.

"Heavens!!!"

"Chen Yan, you will die a horrible death, ahhh!!!"

"You traitor of Chen Province, you scum of the Five Clans!!!"

Seeing this scene, countless people within the entire Ji Province turned red-eyed, roaring in anger.

Countless living beings gritted their teeth, erupting with the most venomous curses.

An old man crawled on the ground, his body beginning to tremble as blood-tears flowed.

A young child screamed, clutching their head, not daring to look anymore.

Chen Yan's battle against the Ji Lord had actually become a one-sided crushing.

Who knows how many people dared not continue watching.

Even the common people of Great Xia.

At this moment, they also had their mouths agape, and the entire Great Xia appeared silent.

That was the Ji Lord, the master of the Five Clans, a sharp blade suppressing the entirety of Great Xia.

The chaos in Iron Province had left the people in misery; how many had lost their homes, how many had watched with their own eyes as the bones of their loved ones vanished into smoke amidst the flames of war.

Hatred.

This was a hatred belonging to the entire nation of Great Xia.

The source of all the chaos and tragedy was that very Ji Province Lord who had proclaimed herself Emperor.

Countless people feared the other party.

But now.

A one-sided beating, a one-sided slaughter.

Cloud Province.

A little girl covered her eyes, her body trembling, yet her gaze peered through her fingers at the screen high above in the sky.

A cool droplet of water fell onto the little girl's arm, and she looked up in a daze.

She saw that her grandfather, who was holding her hand, was now teary-eyed, his body trembling.

"Grandpa, why are you crying..." the little girl asked.

"Crying?" The old man opened his mouth: "Grandpa is laughing, Grandpa is laughing!"

"Grandpa is laughing!!!"

Throughout the entire territory of Great Xia.

Who knows how many people flushed red, feeling the hatred that had accumulated in their hearts for countless years being released at this moment.

"My Great Xia's Xunyang Divine General can suppress the Ji Lord, my Great Xia's Heavenly Divine General can destroy the Ji Lord!"

"As long as the Divine Generals do not perish, my Great Xia shall exist forever!"

"Kill, kill the Ji Lord, kill her!!!"

Countless voices, suppressed for so long, erupted.

It was as if they had transformed into substantial power, rushing toward the sky above Ji Province!

Above the great sea.

Xia Hanzhou, the Yu Lord, and the Lu Lord were also stunned, watching in astonishment.

Until a certain moment.

The heavens and earth fell silent.

The Ji Lord's broken body lay upon the shattered earth.

Pfft!

A pitch-black military spike, evolved from a part of the Evil-Ash Spear, pierced the Ji Lord's neck, pinning her to the ground.

Then.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!!!

Under Chen Yan's will, one military spike after another stabbed down.

They pierced the Ji Lord's hands, arms, legs, feet, and abdomen respectively.

It was as if heaven-and-earth killing nails had completely suppressed the Ji Lord.

Chen Yan stood in the void, golden-red light erupting from his eyes.

"From now on, there shall be no Emperor in Ji Province, and no one shall defy the order of the human world!"

Chen Yan spoke indifferently, his voice domineering to the extreme.

Slap!

Chen Yan pressed his palms together, and terrifying golden-red radiance and True Martial power condensed in his palms.

As Chen Yan slowly pulled his hands apart.

A pitch-black point of light appeared, spinning crazily and radiating an endlessly terrifying aura.

Condense, condense!

【Decay-Control - Holy Condensation Primordial】!!!

This strike would erupt with Chen Yan's strongest combat power and would completely annihilate the Sovereign of Ji, this master of the five clans.

The Sovereign of Ji was pinned to the earth, her blood-seeping eyes blurrily seeing that figure standing high in the void.

Her throat choked, yet she could not speak a word.

Her physical body was entirely suppressed, and even her blood and Qi meridians had been completely destroyed by Chen Yan.

At this moment, she could only endure this strike from Chen Yan.

Even her consciousness began to blur, and she recalled the omen of a Divine Phoenix descending upon the heaven and earth of Ji Province at the time of her birth.

She recalled how, since she began cultivating, she had left others far behind, with countless geniuses only able to look at her back.

She recalled becoming the master of a province, and she recalled becoming the Empress under the witness of heaven and earth.

Yet now, she was going to die.

To die at the hands of another monster.

Even if Zhao Zhugui was still alive, even if Zhao Zhugui was her one glimmer of survival.

But Chen Yan already knew of Zhao Zhugui's abnormality; after she died, would Chen Yan strike at Zhao Zhugui?

She did not know, but at this moment, she truly felt the crisis of death.

At least.

At least!

The Sovereign of Ji felt fortunate in her heart.

At least the scene that occurred within Chen Qi's prophecy had not appeared!

She had won.

The Divine Phoenix Army was one of the bargaining chips Ji Province had to negotiate with the other four provinces.

Today, if Ji Province was destroyed but the Divine Phoenix Army was not, Ji Province still had a future.

Yet at this very moment.

Boom!!!

The light and flame erupting from the depths of the universe were like a supernova explosion, and the muzzles of the pitch-black warships instantly spewed out tens of thousands of scarlet energy torrents.

Almost in an instant, the space where the energy torrents passed crumbled layer by layer like glass.

Chen Yan had just perceived the energy fluctuations above his head when the destructive beams had already pierced through the clouds.

"Have you finally appeared?" Chen Yan spoke indifferently.

By his ear, the voice of Shen Yiwei rang out:

"Found the location!"

Chen Yan's expression was calm as one hand instantly struck toward the incoming energy torrent.

Rumble!!!

It was as if he were covering the sky with one hand; the moment the surging energy torrent collided with Chen Yan's palm, it poured out, filling the heaven and earth like a spread-out energy net, incomparably resplendent.

On the earth.

The Sovereign of Ji choked with difficulty.

The Divine Phoenix Army had appeared after all.

How could fate be so difficult to change?

"Kill!!!"

Countless shouts of killing rang out.

Above the Vault of Heaven, a boiling murderous intent suddenly erupted.

A blood-colored great array suddenly appeared above Chen Yan's head.

Above the Vault of Heaven, an army of five hundred thousand spread out like a tide, their pitch-black battle armor flashing with blood light, dense and boundless.

The aura of the massive army converged into an invisible giant tide, pressing the clouds low with that earth-shaking, magnificent momentum.

The ranks of the army glared below, their eyes locked onto Chen Yan, the murderous intent condensed within those pairs of eyes like ten thousand long blades.

"Phoenix!"

Ji Chuli waved a large hand, and the battle armor on his body clanged!

"Phoenix!"

"Phoenix!"

"Phoenix!"

The hundreds of thousands of troops shouted in unison, and the blood-colored array in the sky suddenly erupted with endless firelight, shrouding downward to protect the Sovereign of Ji's physical body.

Screech!!!

A high-pitched phoenix cry rang out, and the flames shrouding the Sovereign of Ji transformed into a fire phoenix, its phoenix eyes shedding scalding red mist.

The Sovereign of Ji watched with difficulty, her face blurred, but blood tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"Chen Yan!"

Ji Chuli's face was ferocious:

"You disturb my Ji Province, you pressure my Empress, you seek to destroy my clan, and you ruin the eternal peace of my Ji Province!

I will surely tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

Including Ji Chuli and fifteen other great generals of the Divine Phoenix Army, they stood in a ring above Chen Yan, and behind them were hundreds of thousands of dense, packed troops.

At this moment, it felt as if the pressure of the firmament were descending to suppress everything.

This scene happened suddenly.

That vast pressure made the billions of living beings far away in the Great Xia unable to catch their breath.

It was as if heavenly soldiers and generals were about to wipe out Chen Yan's life!

Chen Yan stood in the void, his ink-colored robes billowing, his ink-colored hair flying wildly, his eyes overflowing with a formidable crimson glow; at this moment, he looked like a towering, majestic sacred mountain, gazing up at the army in the high heavens.

This moment.

One man against hundreds of thousands!

He looked at the Fire Phoenix shrouding the Ji Lord below and reached out with one hand, but his power of will could not pierce the Fire Phoenix.

The next moment, a thought flashed through Chen Yan's mind, and the military dagger that had transformed from the Evil-Ash Spear began to tremble, releasing evil-void spores to annihilate the Ji Lord.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

As the excruciating pain struck, the Ji Lord screamed.

Although Chen Yan could not break the Fire Phoenix, his Evil-Ash Spear was still inside it.

Screech!!!

The Fire Phoenix shrieked, and the next moment it spat out the long spike that the Evil-Ash Spear had evolved into.

Chen Yan frowned, grabbed with one hand, and the Evil-Ash Spear appeared in his palm.

Following that maneuver of Chen Yan's just now, the hundreds of thousands of troops were already furious to the extreme.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The sound of endless roars erupted!

Ji Chuli lifted his head, a roar of anger exploding in his eyes, mixed with arrogance.

Behind him, fifteen vice-generals led five hundred thousand troops, slowly descending with extreme majesty.

"If not for the Empress refusing, you would already be a corpse."

"Have you thought about how exactly you want to die?"

"Chen Yan, you will undoubtedly die today!"

Their voices echoed throughout the sky of the entire Ji Province, and the battle cries of the five hundred thousand troops shook the heavens!

As the scarlet grand formation operated, everyone's combat power began to rise crazily, and accompanied by the cries of countless phoenixes, the entire night sky began to boil.

Vast as a forest of stars!

At this moment, within the entire Great Xia, countless commoners opened their eyes wide, watching in disbelief.

The Ji Province actually still had a trump card.

It was this army of five hundred thousand, dense and packed with no end in sight.

Everyone became nervous, even terrified.

With such means, why didn't the Ji Province use them sooner?

And within the Ji Province.

"Ji Chuli, it's him, so he has been here all along!"

"He has come out; I had heard that my Ji Province had a legendary army, and it's true, it's true!"

"Kill Chen Yan and avenge my Ji Province!"

The entire Ji Province was completely boiling; countless people watched with worship and longing, their previously dead hearts beginning to beat at this moment.

At the same time.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

Above the earth, dozens of streams of light suddenly struck.

Shen Yiwei, Xia Long, Wu Song, Hong Mi, and other man-made eighth-rankers arrived, appearing behind Chen Yan.

They stood calmly, led by Chen Yan, and remained silent.

But every one of them had experienced the War of the Five Clans; every one of them had nerves of steel and bones of iron, having walked out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood with Chen Yan.

They looked at the hundreds of thousands of troops in the clouds, not afraid in the slightest.

In just an instant, the situation changed!

The great war, begins!
