Chapter 763: My Name is Xia Hanzhou

Such an existence should not exist in the human world.

"Why is it not the reincarnation of the Xia Lord?" the Yu Lord spoke heavily.

"How is that possible?!" the Lu Lord barked out:

"He cultivates both hard-body tempering and Qi-blood, and even merges the two martial paths; if he were the reincarnation of the Xia Lord, he would not deign to cultivate Qi-blood!"

Xia Hanzhou's eyes erupted with anger:

"Shut up! Chen Yan is Chen Yan, not the reincarnation of anyone. There has never been such a monster in the human world before, but now there is!"

"This is not normal!!!" the Chi Lord said, suppressing their voice:

"This is not normal, Chen Yan is not normal, his rise is not normal!"

"The appearance of the Xia Lord back then was also not normal," Xia Hanzhou said eerily:

"To be precise, that family of three generations of ancestors were all not normal; three generations, three Martial Path Lords.

If you had any conscience, you would carry a rod on your back to beg for punishment and kneel inside the Xia Lord's temple. Without my Xia Clan, where would your Five Clans be?!"

"My Chi Prefecture has also birthed a Martial Path Lord!" the Chi Lord shouted coldly.

"Are you blind? The Inverse Nine Swords are in the hands of Shen Yiwu; the successor chosen by the Lord of True Intent is Shen Yiwu!"

Xia Hanzhou sneered:

"You piece of trash who does not respect filial piety, do you know you are rebelling against your ancestors? Do you believe that if you went to Ji Prefecture, the Lord of True Intent would be so angry that they would come out and slap you?"

The Chi Lord was more than a little angered by Xia Hanzhou.

The Yu Lord watched in silence, but felt a sense of satisfaction in their heart.

Conversing with Xia Hanzhou is just that infuriating; the suffering he has endured, the Chi Lord is now enduring as well.

"My Great Xia will definitely pacify the Five Clans!" Xia Hanzhou laughed loudly:

"With my Great Xia's two Divine Generals, who can oppose my Great Xia?

You two lords of the Five Clans, remember my words today!"

Xia Hanzhou was extremely satisfied at this moment and began to denounce the Yu Lord and the Chi Lord.

"Is the Mountain-Suppressing Divine General not a Divine General?" someone interjected at an inappropriate time.

"Mountain-Suppressing Divine General? Who is he? I have never heard of him," Xia Hanzhou sneered:

"Yu Lord, join forces with me today to kill Chi Gan, and I will count it as a great service for you in the future."

The Yu Lord remained silent, feeling so angry they almost laughed.

At this moment, Xia Hanzhou was no longer the Xia Clan's King of Xia Moon; he was clearly just a dog barking while relying on the power of others.

The Yu Lord did not speak and looked toward Ji Prefecture again.

In their original plan, Chen Yan was supposed to die in front of everyone in the world.

Now, why is Chen Yan not dead?

Could it be that they guessed wrong?

It was also at this moment.

Yu Ming stepped forward and took out a letter, handing it to Xia Hanzhou:

"There is a world inside the Dream-Eating Tapir. Chi Mi once entered it and left this letter, entrusting someone to pass it to you."

Xia Hanzhou was stunned; he took the letter and watched it quietly.

Looking at the words on the letter, his complexion turned green and purple by turns. At the beginning of the letter, Chi Mi was clearly calling him a man who was not a man and angrily denouncing everything he had done.

Then it said he couldn't even compare to a single hair of Lu Xunyang.

This simply touched upon his deepest dignity.

But as he reached the end, tears flickered in Xia Hanzhou's eyes, and the body of the old man trembled incessantly.

His hands shook as he read the contents of the letter over and over again.

Until the very end.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

"Satisfying, satisfying!"

Xia Hanzhou laughed there, and tears fell from his old eyes.

"Once Great Xia is stable, I will go to the Forbidden Land of Ancient Gods to fulfill a wish!"

He was completely relieved.

He had guarded Great Xia for so many years; that should be enough.

King of Xia Moon was his shackle, his duty, and his responsibility.

Whether he was good or bad would be judged by future generations.

No.

Perhaps the world would remember Lu Xunyang, remember Chen Yan, remember Xia Qi, but forget him, this gatekeeper of the Xia Clan.

He did not care anymore.

If everything is pacified in the future.

He would not be the King of Xia Moon; he would just be Xia Hanzhou.

He would carry his final guilt and longing to the Forbidden Land of Ancient Gods to see the woman he had personally pushed into the Forbidden Land of Ancient Gods.

Even if he died at her hands, he would have no regrets.

"With Chen Yan, with Lu Xunyang, it is enough, it is enough!" Xia Hanzhou murmured, tears flickering in his eyes.

"So, does the Mountain-Suppressing Divine General truly hold no status in your heart?" the Yu Lord's voice sounded eerily:

"Although he only has the recognition of one prefecture, he is still a Divine General who has passed the General-Bestowing Lightning Tribulation."

"Get lost!"

Xia Hanzhou shouted in a low voice:

"No, I must see those two old dogs Chi Gan and Chen Yuan die first, otherwise I won't go to the Forbidden Land of Ancient Gods to throw my life away!"

He pointed at the Pond Master:

"You beast!"

The Pond Master's expression was icy cold to the extreme.

Xia Hanzhou was still cursing incessantly.

Yet at this very moment.

Xia Hanzhou's pupils shrank suddenly, and the three of them, including the Universe Master and the Land Master, all looked toward the high sky above the distant Ji Province.

And then they saw.

Chen Yan was just about to withdraw his own golden light of will when he suddenly felt an endless chill descending from the depths of the universe.

A sword light spanning the galaxy slashed down from the nine heavens, accompanied by the Chen Master's furious roar:

"Rebellious seed must be executed!"

This sound arrived in an instant, that stunning stream of light streaking past the bright moon, approaching at extreme speed.

Chen Yan's pupils shrank sharply, and he suddenly felt countless particles throughout his entire body wailing.

The Chen Master, he had indeed attacked.

The opponent could step into the territory of Ji Province in a single stride; his 【World Instant】 technique was far more than just ten thousand miles in an instant.

A powerful peak Creation Realm expert can travel a thousand miles in an instant by performing a fragment of 【World Instant】.

The Chen Master, at the ninth rank, performing the complete 【World Instant】 had long since surpassed the concept of ten thousand miles.

Moreover...

Deep within Chen Yan's mind, countless thoughts were still swirling.

The next instant.

Hum!

An invisible sword light instantly pierced through his physical body, and a terrifying aura of destruction filled every inch of Chen Yan's body, intending to tear everything about Chen Yan apart.

【Dao Slash】!

Chen Yan's eyes widened as he looked toward the high sky; the Chen Master had arrived, and at this moment, after slashing down with one sword, the Chen Master swung his sword again.

At this moment, Chen Yan and the Chen Master locked eyes.

Fortunately!

Chen Yan's heart pounded; fortunately, he had not withdrawn Zhao Zhugui and Li Zhiyi in advance.

If Zhao Zhugui and Li Zhiyi died, they would also perish along with him, completely losing the chance for resurrection.

Silence.

The world was still caught in this momentary shock.

Before the Chen Master's second strike arrived, Shen Yiwei, Xia Long, and the others looked toward Chen Yan abruptly.

And at this very instant.

Inside Chen Yan's body, the final one-third of his domain of will began to vibrate.

It flowed out of Chen Yan's body through the ends of his meridians.

This was Chen Yan's final plan.

Li Zhiyi is a Warrior, unable to cultivate other martial paths, only the path of will, so that Li Zhiyi can develop the path of will to the extreme.

Zhao Zhugui is a Traveler, who will walk across the world's rivers and mountains, leaving Chen Yan's power of will in every corner of the world, preparing for Chen Yan's resurrection.

These two newborn bodies used two-thirds of Chen Yan's domain of will.

As for the final one-third.

It requires a Thief!

The appearance of the Thief must be at the very instant before Chen Yan dies.

It must be at this very instant when there is no possibility of Chen Yan being resurrected.

The physical body perishes, the consciousness perishes, the blood and Qi perish, but the domain of will is divided into three parts, distributed throughout the human world.

When the three bodies become one, that will be the day of Chen Yan's return.

Chen Yan looked at the Chen Master high above.

Thank you.

I truly did not misjudge you.

Fate is like something piled up by countless coincidences, turning into the final predetermined result.

Chen Yan's plan was finally completed.

Inside his body, the final one-third of the domain of will flowed out through the ends of the meridians.

Somewhere in Ji Province.

Will-cultivators inside a prison did not notice that the power of will was drifting away from them, condensing into a newborn body in a distant place.

That newborn body was naked, breathing thinly like a newly hatched chick.

And at this very instant.

Chen Yan's heart stirred instantly.

He discovered something unusual.

A strange anomaly.

This anomaly came from Zhao Zhugui.

A wisp of extremely thin divine soul had emerged on Zhao Zhugui's body.

A sense of astonishment!

In this final moment before death, Chen Yan's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

His plan had encountered an accident.

A wisp of the deceased Sovereign Ji's divine soul had been bound to Zhao Zhugui from the very beginning; after Sovereign Ji died, that wisp of divine soul would awaken.

This wisp of divine soul would not control Zhao Zhugui, but it told Chen Yan that Sovereign Ji was not dead.

Sovereign Ji still had a chance to grow strong again.

When had the trick been played?

In this instant, thoughts bloomed chaotically in Chen Yan's mind.

It was the Ancestral Blessing!

The reason Sovereign Ji had let Zhao Zhugui be present the day Sovereign Ji accepted the Ancestral Blessing was precisely to play this trick.

To let Zhao Zhugui carry a wisp of Sovereign Ji's vitality.

Chen Yan opened his mouth wide; he had miscalculated.

So, at that time, Sovereign Ji had gone to protect Zhao Zhugui, not to kill Zhao Zhugui.

But now, he was about to die and had no ability to turn things around.

At this moment, a look of panic and shock finally appeared on Chen Yan.

Regardless of whether Sovereign Ji knew his secret or not.

An accident, in the end, had the potential to shatter all his schemes.

I, in the end...

Chen Yan gazed at Sovereign Chen.

Underestimated the world.

And Sovereign Chen was also full of astonishment at this moment; he had actually seen such emotions in Chen Yan's eyes.

The next instant.

"You seek death!!!"

A mighty voice struck from above the universe.

Lu Xunyang crossed like a great sun, trailing endless crimson mist and flames, and in an instant, slashed a sword down toward Sovereign Chen.

Sovereign Chen's expression was calm; at this moment, it was as if he hadn't noticed Lu Xunyang at all, and he still slashed the sword in his hand down at Chen Yan.

The third sword!

Swish!

Countless bloodstains cracked open on Chen Yan's physical body.

Boom!

A pitch-black sword radiance pierced through Sovereign Chen's body, and Sovereign Chen vomited blood instantly.

"Chen Yan must die without a doubt!" Sovereign Chen shouted in a low voice, and even though he was slashed by the Sovereign Xia Sword, he still swung his sword.

He would not give Chen Yan any chance to resurrect.

He had already missed too many opportunities to kill Chen Yan!

The next instant.

The fourth sword!

Sovereign Chen slashed again!

Crack, crack, crack!

A sound like glass shattering rang out from Chen Yan's body.

"Chen Yuan!!!"

Lu Xunyang was already in extreme rage, his eyes erupting with endless divine light; standing within the universe, he transformed into an endless blazing sun, raised his long sword high, and slashed again!

Boom!

A streak of sword light made the universe tremble in horror, and hundreds of millions of stars lost their luster at this moment.

Bang!

Sovereign Chen's body was slashed into countless cracks; this was no longer a physical injury, but a Dao injury.

It was even possible he would be slashed down a realm.

But at this moment, Sovereign Chen paid no heed and continued to slash his sword at Chen Yan.

"If Chen Yan is not extinguished, the world will not be at peace!!!"

He raised the invisible sword in his hand high and slashed again.

Boom!

Where Chen Yan was, it instantly turned into ten thousand fluorescent fragments.

Boom!!!

Lu Xunyang's sword arrived at the same time.

Boom!

Sovereign Chen's physical body exploded, turning into a sky full of blood mist.

Just at the moment his consciousness was nearly collapsing, Sovereign Chen roared:

"Slash the Death Dao!"

【Dao Slash】 Slash the Death Dao, slash away all things of deathly stillness, reverse life and death!

Swish!

Sovereign Chen's physical body recovered, but his entire body was covered in bloodstains, to the point where he didn't even look like a person anymore.

Within the universe, Lu Xunyang's eyes flowed with fire as he raised the Xia Lord Sword once more.

Pfft!

Lu Xunyang spat out a mouthful of blood, and within the blood surged a pitch-black substance, as if it were the origin of destruction; one could well imagine the state of Lu Xunyang's body at this moment.

The two supreme experts were locked in battle, and both were now severely wounded to the extreme.

This was not even something that could be repaired by relying on an undying will.

This was not just a severe injury to the physical body, but a Dao injury.

"If we continue to fight, not only will our realms drop, but we will also perish completely."

The Chen Lord's eyes were cold and sinister as he looked at Lu Xunyang in the deep space of the universe.

Lu Xunyang glanced at the place where Chen Yan had originally been, stunned for a long time.

Chen Yan, in the end, was going to die.

The Chen Lord was willing to bear the might of the Xia Lord Sword just to exterminate Chen Yan.

He valued Chen Yan too highly.

The Chen Lord had repeatedly tried to exterminate Chen Yan and failed repeatedly; now, he had reached the point where he had to pay everything.

Lu Xunyang sighed inwardly; Chen Yan's plan should have succeeded.

With both him and the Chen Lord severely wounded, neither the Five Clans nor the Great Xia would dare to truly engage in a decisive battle without recovering their strength.

This battle made Lu Xunyang realize something he hadn't expected: the Chen Lord was actually this powerful.

The Chen Lord of the past must have been hiding his strength all along.

Just at this moment.

The world was silent.

Countless people looked at Ji Prefecture in terror.

Throughout the human world, countless commoners who had cheered when Chen Yan blocked the Ancient God Beast now felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

People looked at this scene in disbelief, finding it hard to accept.

Children lost their strength and fell into the dust, while young boys and girls hugged their heads and wept bitterly.

Heart-wrenching wails echoed through the streets: "The Heavenly God General... has fallen!"

"The Heavenly God General, has fallen!!!"

"The Heavenly God General!!!"

Countless miserable wails resounded, and countless people seemed to have lost their strength, unable to even stand steady.

One second it was still a sunny day, and the next, everything was about to disappear.

Xia Hanzhou stood dazed in the void, gazing at the direction where Chen Yan had dissipated, suddenly laughing wildly, though the laughter was more wretched than crying:

"Chen Yan, ah ah ah ah!"

The laughter stopped abruptly, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staining the vast sky red.

Hard to accept.

Simply unwilling to believe it.

Within the Military Guard.

Countless military guards stared at the giant screen in the void, unable to breathe.

The next instant.

Boom!

The heavens and earth wept blood!!!

Terrifying blood-colored light occupied everything!

The viscous scarlet was about to cover the earth.

Blood-colored, everything had turned blood-colored.

The original "Heavens and Earth Weeping Blood" was the war song of the Great Xia's march.

But this instant of "Heavens and Earth Weeping Blood."

Silence, sorrow, endless pain.

Si Wenyi lost all strength to leave and collapsed to the ground, staring blankly, unable to breathe.

Ke Qingxuan stood above the void:

"This must also be your plan; I understand you, I understand you."

She said blankly.

Lu Jianxia's face was deathly pale, already lost and soul-broken.

A strong sense of pain seemed to arise in her heart.

"Why?"

She whispered:

"Why?"

"All of this... why on earth is it like this?"

She did not understand, she did not know, she had always been lost, always lost to the extreme.

She suddenly regretted it.

Regretted meeting Chen Yan.

This was the source of all pain.

Even though she had lost her memories, she could still feel it.

Chen Yan represented pain.

It was the turning point of her life, the root of all her confusion.

No golden sun would ever rise in the night sky of the Great Xia again; only a blood moon hung solitary.

Chen Yan appeared and then departed, appearing in a rush, a fleeting glimpse within history.

Never again would such a heaven-defying talent, stunning to the human world, appear.

The last hope of the human world, along with the death of Chen Yan.

Extinguished into ashes.

At the same time.

Within Ji Province.

In a corner that no one noticed.

A completely naked youth slowly opened his eyes:

"My name... is Zhang Huizhi."

"I will steal all the opportunities of the world, steal all the secrets of the world."

The youth named Zhang Huizhi murmured, but suddenly clutched his head:

"No, no, why do I feel that I have a memory from a very, very long time ago?"

He sensed it.

Suddenly discovering that within his body was a towering tree.

"Saint-Breaker..."

Zhang Huizhi spoke, not knowing why he knew the name of this tree.

This was his greatest secret, his final foundation, his reliance, his comrade-in-arms.

It was himself.

PS: If I stop updating again, I'm a pig. Until the ending, I will not stop. I might write less, but I will absolutely not stop.

Also, the plot for Zhang Huizhi is not sudden; there has always been foreshadowing.

The names of these three people, Li Zhiyi, Zhao Zhugui, and Zhang Huizhi, were actually set early on.
