Chapter 848: A Casual Act

Chaos and evil intertwined, surging like a mountain-like tide spanning the heavens and earth.

When the Tier 8 Ancient God-Beast pushed aside the tidal waves and stared at the world, everyone felt a fear from the deepest depths of their hearts, as if falling straight into hell.

Yet, in the very next instant after this apocalyptic scene suddenly struck, that figure had already rushed before the giant eyeball.

Splash!

As the long blade slashed through, the massive eyeball was severed from top to bottom.

Densely packed, countless tentacles fell and shattered, splashing outward.

Everyone was terrified to the point of madness, as if feeling a power that could collapse the heavens and shatter the earth, despair-inducing and shocking.

Compared to that sky-covering giant pupil, Chen Yan's figure was tiny to the extreme, but with a casual strike, brilliant blood-red light suddenly appeared.

Screech!

Hundreds of millions of ear-piercing shrieks resounded, as if an overwhelming tide of evil spirits had instantly struck, crashing toward Chen Yan.

Chen Yan instantly sensed the descent of the rules from this Tier 8 Ancient God-Beast.

Countless shattered tentacles and eyeballs swirled around Chen Yan, wanting to envelop him.

Chilliness gathered in Chen Yan's eyes, and a point of blood-red light flashed across the depths of his pupils.

Will of Destruction!

An invisible slash was generated; the Will of Destruction acted like a sharp blade, severing the malicious rules imposed upon Chen Yan one by one.

Following that, the Will of Destruction rushed directly into the remains of this Tier 8 Ancient God-Beast, colliding and cutting like a sharp blade.

Screech?

A sense of astonishment resounded within the Tier 8 Ancient God-Beast's shrieks.

It had not expected that its most powerful rule-based means could not lock onto the human before it at all.

What made it even more desperate was that it clearly felt a force rapidly cutting within its body.

Rumble!

Viscous black blood poured down like a waterfall, scattering like spilled ink.

The giant-pupil Ancient God-Beast that spanned the heavens and earth shattered and perished just like that.

This scene was earth-shattering.

The massive black clouds of malice exploded between heaven and earth, countless beams of light shot out wildly, and even the boundless sea of malice was blasted with a terrifying opening.

Inside Qiming Village, everyone watched with deathly pale faces, as if they had seen a great terror.

When a surprise is too great and too far beyond common sense, what people feel first is not shock or joy, but terror.

Terror of the unknown, terror of an unknown existence.

At this moment, Chen Yan was essentially an indescribable unknown existence, doing things that people simply dared not believe.

Before Chen Yan, all their previous theories, all wisdom, and the truths of all disciplines failed and ceased to exist.

This scene could be called the descent of a natural disaster.

Even Peng Linjun, who dared to raise his sword to meet a Tier 8 Ancient God-Beast, was now trembling as he knelt on the ground.

He opened his mouth wide, unable to believe the scene unfolding before his eyes.

Screech!

Ear-piercing shrieks shattered the night sky, as one after another, Creation-realm Ancient God-Beasts let out terrified howls.

"Want to escape?"

Chen Yan's gaze was icy; the pitch-black True Martial Power wrapped in an even more terrifying Immortal Will instantly erupted, overflowing into the sea of malice.

The terrifying power acted like a magnetic field, allowing Chen Yan to control the sea of malice for hundreds of miles around.

As his thoughts stirred, the True Martial Power churned the giant waves, the crests piercing the sky, actually twisting into a rotating black vortex high in the air.

And the remaining dozen or so Creation-realm Ancient God-Beasts were caught by this rotating sea of malice, unable to escape.

Rumble!

The vortex spun faster and faster, diving upward like a giant python flicking its tongue, wrapping Chen Yan tightly in the center, until even the light was completely swallowed, leaving only boundless darkness roaring in his ears.

And those dozen or so Creation-realm Ancient God-Beasts were like leaves swept up by a tornado, constantly being churned.

Heaven and earth seemed to have been stirred into chaos, the roar of the wild waves deafening.

The thousands of Tainted-Blood humans inside Qiming Village watched this earth-shattering scene, their bodies trembling.

Compared to those towering giant waves, the entire Qiming Village was as insignificant as a grain of sand.

And the massive tidal wall that had originally been about to pounce on Qiming Village was now being sucked into that terrifying tornado all at once.

The sea of malice near the entire pure land of Qiming Village was sucked away by that tornado, causing Qiming Village to actually be constantly rotating and sinking at this moment.

Mu Yanwan sat on the ground, her pupils suddenly shrinking to pinpricks, the cold air she gasped catching in her throat, her face instantly drained of all color.

"A god!"

She murmured the words, speaking to the Mu Clan Head who had frozen beside her:

"I told you, He is a god."

In the Evil Realm, the two martial paths of Qi-Blood and Hard-Body cultivation were almost stagnant; many people even promoted themselves solely by relying on realm fruits.

They had never seen true experts, nor had they seen powerful means other than arrays.

And Ancient God-Beasts were even more so considered beings that could not be destroyed.

What Chen Yan was displaying before them at this moment had long since exceeded their imagination.

From beginning to end, that person had not even used an array.

And within the vortex.

Chen Yan slowly pressed his palms together, streams of pitch-black and golden-red light rippling and condensing between his palms.

True Martial Power and the power of will were condensing simultaneously.

An aura terrifying to the extreme continued to climb.

Climbing, climbing, climbing!

Until the next moment, it transformed into a pitch-black point of light.

【Imperial Decay - Sacred Condensation Primordial】!

"Extinguish!"

Chen Yan pressed his palms together.

The next instant.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

The terrifying black light exploded, transforming into billions of sharp blades that stabbed out crazily, and one by one, the Ancient God Beasts had their physical bodies pierced and destroyed in an instant.

The malicious tornado that had poured into the sky shattered, and viscous rain fell across the heavens.

Viewed from afar, it was viscous rain, but when it smashed toward the sky above Qiming Village below, everyone saw that it was a surging mass of seawater obscuring the world.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Someone screamed in shock, feeling as if they were going to die.

The next moment.

Chen Yan's figure had already appeared above Qiming Village.

Divine Skill 【Boundary Instant】!

As Chen Yan waved one hand, walls of waves surged up on all four sides of Qiming Village, solidifying like mirrors and wrapping around the entire village, blocking this mass of tide water.

With this, the Ancient God Beasts had already vanished.

All that remained for Qiming Village to deal with was the tide.

Chen Yan stood on the shore of Qiming Village; no one dared to approach, only watching with trembling.

Chen Yan reached out a palm, as if he had grasped a mechanism hidden within the void.

As Chen Yan slowly twisted it.

Click, click, click!

Array veins that were curved, right-angled, complexly combined, and incomparably profound emerged.

Sun-Radiance Grade D-Tier 【Annihilation】 Great Array!

Chen Yan activated the 【Annihilation】 Great Array and instantly sensed a certain energy channel from within Qiming Village.

This energy channel led all the way to the distant Luo Town Divine Array Hall.

There, the divine array had already been activated.

And Chen Yan began to extract the energy of the divine array.

Immediately following.

Click, click, click!

The sound of an array disk operating rang out across the entire Qiming Village.

A circle of blue array patterns leaped out from somewhere on the shore, spreading rapidly like ripples.

In the blink of an eye, azure light shields rose one after another all over Qiming Village, wrapping the entire island in layers, with runes flowing on the array walls like living things, completely isolating it from the outside world.

The 【Annihilation】 Great Array began to operate, covering the entire Qiming Village.

With this great array in place, the entire minor tide would not threaten Qiming Village in the slightest.

Finished.

Chen Yan turned around, only to see thousands of villagers staring blankly one by one.

The blue light of the divine array from all directions spilled onto their faces, making them look more like stiff sculptures.

And Peng Linjun and the others from White Town—the Array Pulse Soldiers and Array Reserve Soldiers—were much the same as these villagers.

Even when Chen Yan walked past them, they could not even turn their heads.

An Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beast had just been killed right before their eyes.

Mu Yanwan only felt a stream of light flash past her, and when she reacted and looked behind her.

The door of that wooden house had already closed.

Mu Yanwan only felt as if the nerves in her brain were being pulled by someone, and even now, it still felt like a lifetime ago.

She hurriedly stood up, wanting to kneel before this wooden house, but remembering Chen Yan's previous words, she bowed respectfully instead.

Peng Linjun reacted, and at this moment, he also bowed heavily toward the wooden house.

More and more people bent their waists, and some even knelt down.

Their expressions had long since changed, full of piety, as if treating a god who had descended to the mortal world.

Hei Shan was tense all over, and when he inadvertently swept across a certain spot, his breathing hitched.

"Chun..." Hei Shan hurriedly shouted:

"Sister Chun has taken poison!"

Yet he saw that Sister Chun, whose legs had already been crippled by Peng Linjun, now had a complexion as gray as paper, her breathing as rapid as a broken bellows, every gasp accompanied by painful spasms, and white foam constantly spitting from her mouth.

Elsewhere, someone screamed:

"There is someone here who has taken poison too."

Someone said painfully:

"Yesterday, this Array Attendant official and a group of people discussed that since they were going to die anyway, they might as well commit suicide.

They were terrified of the great horror within the Malicious Sea, afraid of being entangled by malice and suffering endless pain..."

Just like Sister Chun, there were dozens of people who had taken poison before the minor tide arrived.

At this moment, they were falling to the ground one by one like Sister Chun, spitting white foam.

"Save... cannot be saved."

Peng Linjun spoke in a low voice and shook his head.

He could understand the choices these people made.

It was just that, for people like Sister Chun, this was far too desperate.

They still had one last breath left now, and they must have seen the scene of Chen Yan annihilating the Ancient Divine Beast alone earlier.

Unfortunately, before that, they had either seen the arrival of the Small Tide or the arrival of the Eighth-Rank Ancient Divine Beast and were so frightened that they immediately took poison.

At this moment, they could only watch helplessly as Chen Yan slaughtered everyone, while they themselves slowly died from having taken poison in advance.

Bai Ling walked in front of Sister Chun, tears flickering in her eyes.

Sister Chun's pupils gradually began to dilate, and she used her final strength to grab Bai Ling's hand.

She opened her mouth, but her breath only went in and did not come out; just like that, she looked at Bai Ling, lost her final breath, and turned her head away.

Dead.

Bai Ling held Sister Chun's arm, lowered her head, and tears dripped out from her eyes.

At this moment, Chen Yan had already penetrated deep into the Sea of Malice.

After casting 【World Instant】, no one was able to track his whereabouts.

The Ancient Divine Beast forces of the Evil Realm were hunting down Will Martial Artists, so Chen Yan had never intended from the very beginning to let these Ancient Divine Beasts that came to kill him return.

After killing these Ancient Divine Beasts, Chen Yan did indeed feel a strong palpitation.

Ancient Divine aura.
