Chapter 832: The Annihilation Grand Array

Evil Realm, Luo Town, inside the Divine Array Hall.

Chen Yan sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, his body enveloped by a golden pillar of light, his eyes fixed steadily on the 【Annihilation】 Grand Array in the center of the hall.

All this time, Chen Yan had been able to clearly observe the experiences of Li Zhiyi and the other two.

After Li Zhiyi created the Boundary-Breaking realm, Chen Yan's own Will Martial Dao realm also reached Boundary-Breaking.

However, because he lacked a Will Domain, Chen Yan's current strength in the Will path was only one-tenth of Li Zhiyi's.

Even so, it was still stronger than his Will path strength when he launched a surprise attack on Ji Province.

Not only that, Chen Yan had also awakened Zhao Zhugui's memories in advance.

He allowed Zhao Zhugui to recover the memories that belonged to Chen Yan.

After all, Chen Yan could not afford to ignore the matters plotted by the Ji Lord.

There is no love in the world without a reason; the Ji Lord must have some ulterior motive for keeping Zhao Zhugui by his side.

Furthermore, there was also Ji Chen plotting behind the Ji Lord's back.

Nowadays, the fact that Will martial artists are wanted within the Evil Realm is likely also the work of Ji Chen.

Therefore, the person by the Ji Lord's side could no longer be Zhao Zhugui, but rather another Chen Yan.

Only in this way could Chen Yan lay out his plans in advance.

However, the words the Ji Lord spoke just now still shocked Chen Yan.

After one hundred days, the Ancient God will awaken?

How is that possible?

The Yu Lord has already prepared to sacrifice his Dao, intending to use his Ninth-Rank body to suppress the Ancient God Fanni.

Could it be that the one awakening in one hundred days is the Ancient God Bai'e?

A cold light appeared in the depths of Chen Yan's eyes.

If the Ancient God awakens early, how should he respond, and how should the world respond?

One day in the outside world is ten days in the Evil Realm.

One hundred days in the outside world is nearly three years in the Evil Realm.

Chen Yan lifted his head, a sense of urgency washing over him.

In three years, can he break the barrier between the Evil Realm and the real world, and then suppress the Ancient God?

With a soft sigh, Chen Yan slowly shook his head and began to continue visualizing the 【Annihilation】 Grand Array.

This is a god-level grand array created by the Master of Arrays through simulating the Ninth-Rank status of the Blood Qi path.

These fifteen days.

Chen Yan had only been simply visualizing the 【Annihilation】 Grand Array; if he were to deploy it, he could only reach the Morning Star level.

To fully master it requires a massive investment of time.

After all, this is no ordinary god-level grand array.

Fortunately, deep within Chen Yan's mind were two status energies, which Chen Yan had obtained by devouring Realm Fruits.

Due to the influence of the two status energies—one red and one blue—Chen Yan's progress in studying the 【Annihilation】 Grand Array was significantly accelerated.

As for the eighteen auxiliary arrays of the 【Annihilation】 Divine Array within the Divine Array Hall.

Chen Yan did not study them.

Simply because they were too simple.

Chen Yan was, after all, a Divine Array Venerable; these eighteen auxiliary arrays were merely Bright Moon-level Grade A arrays.

Of course.

Throughout the Divine Array Hall, all the Array Pivot Envoys like Chen Yan were only studying the auxiliary arrays.

As for the 【Annihilation】 Divine Array, these people had no thoughts of it at all.

Compared to the 【Annihilation】 Divine Array, the auxiliary arrays were like grains of sand compared to a desert.

Furthermore, regarding Chen Yan's own strength.

When Chen Yan was at White Village, he had already fused the Blood Qi path and the Hardened Body path.

Since then, he only cultivated the True Martial path.

During this period.

Chen Yan had been continuously devouring energy opportunities within the Sea of Malice through 【Eternal Calamity Reversing Blood】, and his True Martial path strength had already reached the peak of the Fifth Rank.

Chen Yan was satisfied with this progress.

It was right at this moment.

Hum.

The golden pillar of light enveloping Chen Yan's body suddenly dissipated.

Inside the entire Divine Array Hall, the dozen or so Array Pivot Envoys who were visualizing together sat on their prayer mats, each of them letting out a sigh of relief.

"So tired, let's end today's visualization here."

"Brother Shao Feng, which auxiliary array have you visualized up to?"

"The third one; to study all eighteen auxiliary arrays to the Morning Star level just to obtain the Array Master's lecture—how difficult that is."

Everyone sighed aloud.

Many people looked toward Chen Yan's direction, looks of astonishment appearing in their eyes.

The Array Pivot Envoys of the Divine Array Hall did not visualize all the time.

Every time the golden light of the prayer mat's array dissipated, it meant they had completed a full day of visualization tasks and could go back to rest.

Even those with extraordinary talent would not be able to endure a full day of persistent array cultivation.

But Chen Yan was an exception.

Ever since Chen Yan arrived at the Divine Array Hall, he had barely left it, let alone rested.

Whenever these Array Pivot Envoys saw Chen Yan, they would feel moved in their hearts.

Some admired him, some were puzzled, and some were disdainful, believing Chen Yan was merely putting on a show.

But none of this had anything to do with Chen Yan.

Behind Chen Yan, a man wearing black robes with long golden horns on his head glanced at Chen Yan's back without speaking.

His name was Jiang Guanxin; the moment Chen Yan arrived at the Divine Array Hall, he had snatched his position.

Although Jiang Guanxin did not argue with Chen Yan, he naturally harbored anger in his heart.

During this period, Chen Yan did not rest, and Jiang Guanxin did not rest either.

But every time his visualization ended, Jiang Guanxin still could not hide his exhaustion and was unable to focus again.

Even so, he still put on an appearance of constantly cultivating and did not leave the Divine Array Hall.

Jiang Guanxin looked at Chen Yan's back, a coldness rising in his heart.

"I don't believe he doesn't rest; no one can keep visualizing a Bright Moon-grade grand array indefinitely.

He probably rests even more than I do!"

Jiang Guanxin thought to himself, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"I will soon cultivate my eighteenth auxiliary array to the Morning Star-grade as well; when that time comes, I will receive a month of lectures from the Array Master!"

Jiang Guanxin had endured it for a time back then because he was wary of Chen Yan's strength.

But if he received the Array Master's lectures and his strength and status increased greatly, why would he fear Chen Yan?

If a man could not even take revenge for the grievances he suffered, then what was the point of him living?

A man must live with satisfaction!

Just at this moment, a woman wearing a green dress came to Chen Yan's side.

"Brother Chen."

The woman spoke gently, her brows and eyes as beautiful as a painting:

"Do you have any free time today? It is my father's eightieth birthday, and I would like to invite Brother Chen to be a guest."

The woman speaking was Wen Jianjian.

Ever since Chen Yan arrived at the Divine Array Hall, she had been taking the initiative to converse with him, and her intent to curry favor was too obvious.

It was just that Chen Yan rarely paid attention to Wen Jianjian.

"Apologies, I don't have time." Chen Yan looked at Wen Jianjian and smiled.

A look of disappointment appeared in Wen Jianjian's eyes, but she immediately beamed and smiled:

"I know Brother Chen is devoted to the Dao; I will have my servants send some wine and food over later, Brother Chen must not refuse again."

Chen Yan looked at Wen Jianjian, sensing her emotions, and then nodded:

"Many thanks."

"Good." Wen Jianjian nodded gently.

Afterward, she came to Jiang Guanxin's side:

"Jiang Guanxin, today is my..."

"I heard, I am busy too." Jiang Guanxin said.

Wen Jianjian was slightly stunned, then smiled, nodded, and left.

Coldness rose in Jiang Guanxin's heart.

Bitch!

Before Chen Yan arrived, he, Jiang Guanxin, was the most outstanding among all the Array Pivot Envoys.

Wen Jianjian had also always been on good terms with him.

But now...

He had been abandoned.

"You could have at least asked me one more time!" Jiang Guanxin's expression was gloomy, his face twisted.

"Wait until I receive the Array Master's lectures!"

A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Jiang Guanxin's mouth.

He would make Chen Yan, who bullied him, pay the price, and he would make Wen Jianjian, who abandoned him, regret it.

A man must live with satisfaction!

At this moment.

As for the thoughts of Wen Jianjian and Jiang Guanxin, Chen Yan was truly too lazy to pay them any mind.

"Chen Yan..."

At the doorway, a faint cry suddenly rang out.

Chen Yan saw that at the entrance of the Divine Array Hall, a woman wearing red clothes was standing timidly at the side of the door.

Bai Ling.

The current Bai Ling had washed the grime from her face, and her messy hair was tied into two pigtails.

Although she still had buck teeth, her face was already much better looking than before.

At this moment, Bai Ling waved at Chen Yan, holding a food box in her hand.

Chen Yan stood up, revealing a smile.

After a while.

In a courtyard, Chen Yan finished eating the food from the food box one by one.

Under Bai Ling's expectant gaze, Chen Yan nodded:

"Not bad."

Bai Ling revealed a smile:

"Then I will continue to bring you food tomorrow."

"No..." Chen Yan looked at Bai Ling's expression, paused, and continued:

"Alright."

Bai Ling left, filled with joy.

Chen Yan smiled slightly and continued walking toward the Divine Array Hall.

On the other side, just as Bai Ling walked into the street, she suddenly saw a woman in green robes looking at her with a beaming smile.

"Bai Ling?" The woman in green robes was none other than Wen Jianjian.

Bai Ling nodded.

Wen Jianjian looked at Bai Ling gently and said:

"Honored Master Chen Yan is truly too outstanding; many people say he will become, or even surpass, the Array Master."

Joy appeared in Bai Ling's eyes:

"Really?"

In Bai Ling's heart, an Array Pivot Envoy was already an unimaginably great figure.

As for the Array Master, that was even more like the sky of a town.

"Naturally." Wen Jianjian walked in front of Bai Ling and asked curiously:

"Bai Ling, you must have a very good family background."

Bai Ling was stunned and shook her head.

"That shouldn't be." Wen Jianjian revealed a puzzled expression:

"To become an Array Pivot Envoy requires vast resources, and to become an Array Master, Chen Yan would need a hundred or a thousand times the resources he had before.

I had assumed you had a great background behind you and were constantly funding Chen Yan."

Wen Jianjian revealed an apologetic expression:

"Apologies, I thought too much."

Immediately, Wen Jianjian left.

Bai Ling paused in place, looking at Wen Jianjian's back with a bewildered expression; the next moment, she hurriedly ran to Wen Jianjian's side and said:

"You thought wrong, I am just Chen Yan's... servant.

I have no relationship with Chen Yan... no relationship at all."

Wen Jianjian parted her red lips slightly, looked at the panting Bai Ling, a strange look appearing in her eyes, and then nodded gently.

Soon, Wen Jianjian left.

A look of disappointment appeared in Bai Ling's eyes.

How could she not understand what Wen Jianjian meant? It was naturally to clarify that she was fundamentally unworthy of Chen Yan.

But...

"I know." Bai Ling murmured.

She only wanted to bring food to Chen Yan, but she never expected that she would almost cause a misunderstanding between Chen Yan and Wen Jianjian because of herself.

In Bai Ling's view, Wen Jianjian was the one who was on the same level as Chen Yan.

Bai Ling gave a bitter smile and walked down the street with a downcast expression, walking all the way to the bank of the Pure Land, her figure stretched longer and longer by the dim, yellow light.

"Bai Ling?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, as if calling her.

But for some reason, Bai Ling was lost in thought at this moment and did not pay attention to this call.

On the bank, on top of a leaf-shaped boat, a dozen people were continuously moving supplies from the shore onto the boat.

"Bai Ling!"

Sister Chun, who had a tall figure and a tentacle-like black hole growing in the center of her brow, called out as she watched Bai Ling walk past on the shore.

Seeing that Bai Ling did not turn her head, Sister Chun wiped the sweat from her forehead:

"Did I see wrong?

That's right, how could Bai Ling wear such clean clothes." Sister Chun murmured.

"Hurry up and move it!"

A man with an eagle's head roared at Sister Chun:

"Always dragging your feet! You people from White Town are so indecisive when coming to take our Luo Town's supplies!"

"Yes, My Lord!"

Sister Chun hurriedly responded, using all her strength to move a sack from the shore onto the leaf-shaped boat.

Although she was a woman, because she was chosen as an Array Attendant, she had to do this kind of work.

Looking at her mud-stained clothes, although Sister Chun was exhausted, she still revealed a smile.

"At least, it's much better than in White Village."

She thought of Bai Ling.

She thought about how she had snatched the qualification from Bai Ling to become an Array Attendant for White Town.

At the very beginning, Sister Chun had indeed felt guilty.

But this guilt had long since dissipated with time.

"That silly girl." Sister Chun thought to herself:

"It's not that I wanted to fight for it; it's that she's stupid. It's one thing for her to be poor herself, but she still had to save someone who was already going to die."

"If she were to serve as an Array Attendant, she would also be bullied to death."

Sister Chun thought as much; as for Chen Yan, she had long since forgotten his name.

In her view, Chen Yan was likely already dead.

In this world, just staying alive is already very difficult.
