Chapter 861: Xuan Yi

Chen Yan slowly squatted down to look Ruan Qingyu in the eyes at close range.

"If I were an Ancient Divine Beast, if I wanted to threaten someone, I would only threaten the person most capable of helping me; it might not even be a threat, but a transaction.

Xuan Yi is within his own Dao Domain and is already the strongest person, so why would an Ancient Divine Beast need to threaten him?

Considering the struggle for the Dao Child position, the other six Dao Children most want to deal with Xuan Yi, so why wouldn't an Ancient Divine Beast cater to their preferences?

And trade with him?"

As Chen Yan's voice fell, the eyes beneath Ruan Qingyu's mask widened, looking at Chen Yan in disbelief.

She had not expected that Chen Yan would have guessed the ins and outs of the matter in such a short time.

It was indeed a supreme Ancient Divine Beast that had found Xuan Yi.

And it was indeed not to threaten Xuan Yi, but to trade with him.

The Thousand-Day Ancient God has appeared, and the Master of Arrays has even brought out the Emperor Fruit and the Soul of the Fate Chapter; all the Dao Children know that a life-and-death battle is inevitable in the future.

Although Xuan Yi is the First Dao Child, he is also worried that the other Dao Children will target him.

After the supreme Ancient Divine Beast proposed that it could help Xuan Yi deal with the other Dao Children.

Xuan Yi chose to cooperate with the supreme Ancient Divine Beast.

Ruan Qingyu was stared at directly by Chen Yan, and at this moment, sweat was flowing down her back.

She knew that what Chen Yan said was correct, but she absolutely could not admit it.

"Honorable Chen Yan is certainly good at making connections." Ruan Qingyu sneered:

"The danger to the world is now right before our eyes; to preserve yourself, do you intend to plunge the world into darkness?"

She lowered her head and continued:

"Everything Qingyu has said is the truth."

She stood up and said righteously at this moment:

"The Thousand-Day Ancient God has emerged, the world will fall into chaos, and the lives of all beings hang by a thread.

Now that the Great World is tottering, only the Honorable One's life can save the billions of living beings; how can the Honorable One harbor selfish thoughts?"

The hem of her red robes swept across the floor as she bowed and said in a clear voice:

"Now Ruan Qingyu is willing to offer her life as a recommendation; I ask the Honorable One to set out for the sake of all living beings!"

Her voice carried a sobbing tone, presenting an appearance of awe-inspiring righteousness.

To the side, Fang Rui gritted his teeth and said:

"What are you trying to do? It is still early; can't you let the Dao Children hold a meeting to discuss this?"

"Deep within Qingyu's eyes are engraved Image-Recording Arrays; the scenes here will all be revealed to the people of the world.

The world shall witness the Honorable One's moment of great righteousness!"

Ruan Qingyu spoke again, saying every word clearly:

"I ask the Honorable One to go to your death!"

In an instant, Fang Rui's eyes widened, looking at Ruan Qingyu in astonishment.

An Image-Recording Array Disk?

Ruan Qingyu had actually recorded everything that happened here, and everything happening in the main hall at this moment was being broadcast to the outside world.

In other words, is everything happening right now being watched by others?

If Chen Yan refuses.

Then Chen Yan's selfishness will be spread abroad.

How ruthless.

Chen Yan glanced at Ruan Qingyu indifferently without speaking.

Chen Yan had long since seen through Ruan Qingyu's tricks.

If it were anyone else, they might not notice Ruan Qingyu's problem, but Chen Yan is the Divine Venerable of Arrays.

Even if Ruan Qingyu has a god-level concealment array on her body that can block the perception of others.

It is ineffective against Chen Yan.

Chen Yan had long since tampered with it; Ruan Qingyu's Image-Recording Array Disk had been ineffective from the very beginning.

Unfortunately, Ruan Qingyu herself does not yet know this.

This shows that the person who made the Image-Recording Array Disk and the concealment array for Ruan Qingyu is not Ruan Qingyu herself.

Perhaps, it should be that Xuan Yi.

They want to force Chen Yan to die.

Even if Chen Yan does not go to his death, they want Chen Yan to suffer social death in the Evil Realm, to be isolated and helpless, and then be forced to death by Xuan Yi himself.

Letting Chen Yan commit suicide is not Xuan Yi's goal.

Letting Chen Yan suffer social death, and then having Xuan Yi step in to destroy Chen Yan as an act of justice, is Xuan Yi's goal.

A good scheme.

At this moment, Ruan Qingyu looked at Chen Yan:

"Even if the Honorable One kills me, it is useless, because the images from here are being transmitted to the outside world at every moment."

A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yan's mouth:

"Interesting."

Ruan Qingyu was stunned.

Chen Yan said calmly:

"Your appearance has truly added quite a bit of fun to my path of attaining the Dao."

Chen Yan looked down at Ruan Qingyu from his high position:

"If you have any other means, use them now, or I shall kill you directly."

Ruan Qingyu was stunned, and then her pupils constricted.

Hum!

Ruan Qingyu's world suddenly went dark.

A hand, a giant hand tearing through the darkness, reached toward her, fast to the extreme, terrifying to the extreme.

The vast pressure made it impossible for her to breathe.

Ruan Qingyu was so shocked she stumbled backward; her heart felt as if it were being gripped, and she even forgot how to breathe.

Was this Chen Yan's means?

Was this Chen Yan's pressure?

The next instant, just as Chen Yan's fingers were about to pierce through Ruan Qingyu's pupils.

"Sigh..."

A man's sigh rang out.

"Why must you be so selfish?"

The man's voice was flat and helpless.

The next moment.

Click, click, click!

Scarlet array patterns suddenly lit up all over Ruan Qingyu's body, the lines flowing like living snakes beneath her sleeves, instantly transforming into countless Profound Iron chains.

Clatter!

The chains, carrying a sharp sound of tearing through the air, coiled toward Chen Yan, tightening circle by circle, straining Chen Yan's robes until they cracked.

Rumble!

Chen Yan's body instantly smashed through the main hall, and countless array-patterned chains pushed Chen Yan toward the high heavens like a tidal wave.

The loud noise shook the entire Luo Town, instantly attracting the attention of everyone within Luo Town.

Exclamations of shock rang out from all directions.

"Venerable One!"

Mu Yanwan rushed out instantly, looking at this scene happening above the firmament in disbelief.

"Chen Yan!"

Bai Ling watched in terror, her eyes wide.

"What are you doing?!" Fang Rui roared, glaring at Ruan Qingyu.

Ruan Qingyu still had lingering fear in her eyes and shouted in a low voice:

"It wasn't me who attacked; there is a divine array set by the Profound One Daoist on my body.

Whoever attacks me gets caught in it!"

Ruan Qingyu gasped for air, and the next moment her gaze turned fierce:

"He was the one who attacked me first!"

But then.

The scarlet chains coiled around Chen Yan like wild pythons, each one flashing with sharp array patterns, slicing pitch-black cracks into the void.

Clatter!

These chains seemed endless, instantly wrapping around Chen Yan, and countless more scarlet chains darted out from the void, intertwining toward that large scarlet sphere.

Gradually.

Under the dumbfounded gaze of the living beings of Luo Town.

The giant sphere formed by the chains kept growing, getting larger and larger, covering the entire Luo Town as if blotting out the sky and sun.

Clatter!

Massive, unimaginably massive.

In the end, it forcibly turned into a tyrannical blood sun bound together by countless chains.

A terrifying power of suppression spilled down from within the blood sun, covering the million-mile Sea of Malice.

Under this blood sun, the entire Luo Town was as tiny as a single grain of sand in the vast ocean.

Suddenly!

The firmament suddenly split into ten openings, and ten cold stars emerged from the void, each one as pitch-black as ink.

Clatter!

The stars were connected by chains, linking together into a giant net that covered the sky, and the scarlet sun transformed by Chen Yan was being suppressed at the center of the net.

Ten Stars Suppressing the Sun!

The terrifying pressure descended.

Within Luo Town, all living beings felt as if they were being pressed by a giant mountain; the weak had their physical bodies shattered and were instantly annihilated.

"Ven..."

Mu Yanwan lay on the ground, unable to breathe at all.

Endless fear surged in everyone's eyes; this was a powerful means truly belonging to a high-level existence.

"Ten Directions Suppressing Domain..."

Fang Rui's body hunched over, and he spoke with difficulty.

Beside him, the panic in Ruan Qingyu's eyes gradually disappeared, and she panted as she said coldly:

"With the Profound One Daoist making a move, he is dead for sure."

Fang Rui was furious:

"I want to impeach you all!"

Ruan Qingyu said coldly:

"Daoist Child Xuan Yi was threatened by an extremely powerful Ancient God Beast, and to preserve the Evil Realm, he sent me to persuade Chen Yan.

Chen Yan attacked me, which is why he triggered the divine array on my person!

Daoist Child Xuan Yi has been for the country and the people from beginning to end; he is the hope of the future!"

Fang Rui gritted his teeth; clearly, everything was caused by Xuan Yi, yet in Ruan Qingyu's mouth, Xuan Yi was the innocent and righteous existence.

Ruan Qingyu looked at Fang Rui with extreme coldness:

"Have you forgotten that before the Ancient Gods appeared in the world, the Master of the Array could not leave seclusion.

Could Mu Yunhai, who stands behind you, possibly be a match for Daoist Child Xuan Yi?"

Fang Rui's eyes turned red and he clenched his fists, yet at this moment, he found it difficult to employ any means.

It was also at this moment.

Boom—!

Above the firmament, ten stars erupted with ghostly light simultaneously; the array patterns on the chains suddenly boiled, and billions of blood-colored thunderbolts roared along the chains toward the scarlet sun at the center of the web.

The sky was a sheet of crimson, like the wrath of the gods, terrifying to the extreme.

A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Ruan Qingyu's mouth:

"He is dead for sure. This is the Ten Directions Domain Suppression; even if the Daoist Child is not here, the power of the array disk remains unchanged."

To the side.

A man named Peng Linjun lay on the ground, growling in a low voice:

"To act like this as a Daoist Child, are you not afraid of the Master of the Array?!"

Ruan Qingyu swept a faint glance at Peng Linjun:

"Where did this bug come from?"

Boom—!

In the sky.

The ten stars continued to erupt with thunder, blasting into the blood sun.

The coldness in Ruan Qingyu's eyes grew more intense, as if she had already seen Chen Yan's corpse.

At the same time.

Inside the chained blood sun.

Billions of blood-red thunderbolts exploded into Chen Yan's body; Chen Yan's expression was calm, and although his physical body was constantly being blown apart, it quickly recovered under the effect of his Immortal Will.

"Worthy of being the First Daoist Child."

Chen Yan's voice was cold; the power of this divine array was indeed terrifying.

If Xuan Yi were here, Chen Yan truly would not be a match.

Xuan Yi must also be at the Unity Realm of World Suppression, ranked above Chen Yan.

However, Xuan Yi's true self had not arrived.

Chen Yan's physical body was suppressed by chains from all directions, and blood light flickered at his fingertips.

【Blood Intent】, activate!

A blood blade appeared in Chen Yan's hand; as Chen Yan rotated his wrist, the blood blade sliced open the array-patterned chains binding him.

"Oh?"

A surprised male voice rang out from within the chained blood sun.

Clearly, there was a strand of Xuan Yi's consciousness within this divine array, and he was surprised that Chen Yan was not dead.

"What a pity." Xuan Yi's voice sounded again.

The next moment.

Boom—!

Above Luo Town, the ten pitch-black stars dragging the chained blood sun began to move.

Under the shocked gaze of everyone.

The chained blood sun suppressing Chen Yan flew away from above Luo Town, heading toward the Evil Sea.

At the same time.

Screech!

A piercing shriek resounded from within the Evil Sea.

The evil sea boiled, and ten thousand acres of black waves suddenly exploded.

Ten indescribably massive shadows rose from the abyss, and viscous, evil intent condensed into pitch-like liquid, sliding down their craggy bodies.

Just as the chained blood sun reached the space above the Evil Sea.

Boom!

A giant, bat-wing-like membrane stirred the viscous Evil Sea, covering the chained blood sun; it was covered in densely packed pupils.

A terrifying scene appeared.

Ruan Qingyu watched in a daze; the 【Ten Directions Domain Suppression】 divine array could not kill Chen Yan.

Xuan Yi chose to borrow the hand of the Ancient God Beast waiting in the Evil Sea to completely annihilate Chen Yan.

As for the others, they were already completely stunned.

"Ten Eighth-Rank..."

Mu Yanwan watched with difficulty, a look of despair appearing in her eyes.

"Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beast!"
