Chapter 862: Extreme Slaughter

The moment of horror arrived!

A massive existence that blotted out the sky surged, a sea of malice spreading to cover the sky as it lunged toward the blood sun high above.

Bat-wing membranes covered in pupils, serpentine trunks bristling with bone spurs, writhing thousand-handed tentacles... their auras wove together into a monstrous pressure that even corroded space into pitch-black cracks.

The entire Luo Town swayed unsteadily amidst the rolling giant waves, buildings shaking and collapsing.

The terrifying roars sounded as if they had been suppressed for ten thousand years, intertwined and so heavy they were beyond description.

A sinister, evil aura covered the hearts of all living beings, and billions of whispers tore at everyone's nerves.

Even the Prefect of Zhiyang Prefecture, Fang Rui, was now pale, crawling on the ground like a bug.

At this moment, the human race in Luo Town personally felt the insignificance that belonged to humanity.

The terrifying aura, like a mountain-shaking, sea-toppling tsunami, could obliterate everything.

"God!"

Someone screamed, crawling on the ground, appearing innocent and pious under the shroud of ultimate fear.

"Hahaha!"

Yin Baiyi, Xu Zhifan, and the others who had been suppressed saw this scene now that the buildings sealing them had been destroyed.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Yin Baiyi laughed wildly, appearing as if insane.

Above the sea of malice.

Ten stars simultaneously suppressed the chained blood sun at the center, erupting with countless bolts of thunder that blasted into the blood sun.

The ancient divine beast membrane that had already wrapped around the blood sun kept writhing, the pupils embedded upon it falling off with a rustle, pouring into the very center through the gaps in the blood sun's chains.

Inside the chained blood sun, Chen Yan held a blood blade; he had severed the chains that bound him.

All around, however, dense, even more chains wove together to bind him.

Accompanying them were tidal waves of thunder and countless hideous eyeballs.

Malice diffused instantly.

Each eyeball stared at Chen Yan, causing Chen Yan to fall into layer upon layer of terrifying illusions.

Chen Yan raised his head, a look of bewilderment appearing in his eyes, as if he had already fallen into endless fear.

"How much better it would be to commit suicide early; at least you could leave behind a name of righteousness before you die."

A cold, indifferent male voice sounded; that consciousness of Xuan Yi had been sensing Chen Yan's state all along.

Yet in the next moment, two points of golden light emerged in the depths of Chen Yan's eyes, gradually becoming illustrious and increasingly fierce.

Finally, they were as bright and scorching as two great suns.

"It's been so long..."

Chen Yan raised the long blade formed by the power of his will.

"... since I've felt the joy of battle."

He slowly raised the blood blade; this was the will-based martial art 【Blood Intent】 created by Li Zhiyi, who had perfectly simulated the Blood Brand.

Combined with Chen Yan's Will of Destruction, it could sever all things.

As Chen Yan brought the blade down, a blood-colored blade glow sliced through the chains and the sea of thunder ahead.

Outside the chained blood sun.

Ruan Qingyu also had a look of shock in her eyes.

She had not expected that ten eighth-rank ancient divine beasts would come to Luo Town to ambush Chen Yan.

"With the blessing of the Ten Directions Domain, he is sure to die," Ruan Qingyu whispered.

Chen Yan was indeed an unusual eighth-rank; even the god-level grand formation created by Xuan Yi could not erase him.

But now, what Chen Yan had to face was not just the 【Ten Directions Domain】 god-formation.

Yet at this very moment.

Crack!

A low sound rang out.

It was as if something had shattered.

Ruan Qingyu narrowed her eyes, as if she had heard the sound of glass breaking.

The next moment.

Crack!

The low, shattering sound rang out completely.

Blood-colored!

The blood-colored blade light pierced through the firmament and the malice; the firmament was sliced open by a blood glow a million miles long, and the sea of malice was cut in two.

Screech!

The bat-wing ancient divine beast's membrane was sliced open!

Black blood poured down like a rainstorm, falling into the sea of malice and corroding countless boiling pits.

Ruan Qingyu's pupils instantly shrank to pinpricks, her brain momentarily stalling.

Throughout the entire Luo Town, all kinds of roars stopped abruptly.

Bang!

A bloodstain appeared on the chained blood sun, and the two halves of the blood sun, accompanied by countless fragments of the formation, turned into streams of light and simply separated, falling.

A lean figure wrapped in black flames of malice stepped out slowly.

"Chen Yan..."

Xuan Yi's voice sounded from all directions, carrying surprise.

"What kind of technique is this, exactly?"

Chen Yan's eyes were cold and sharp, black flames surged around his body, and his Immortal Will was pushed to the extreme.

His eyes shone like two great suns, illuminating the world in all directions; the golden-red radiance blanketed the world, blindingly bright.

Within Luo Town, everyone was so stung by this light that they dared not look directly, and could only raise their arms to shield their eyes.

Chen Yan stood in the void.

Whoosh!

Below, the ten-thousand-mile Sea of Malice churned, surging and transforming into countless pitch-black giant hands that spanned the heavens and earth, generating a terrifying suction force, intending to drag Chen Yan into its depths.

Even though Chen Yan was situated in the void, he was still above the Sea of Malice.

This was the devouring of the Sea of Malice.

The next moment.

Chen Yan's figure was as upright as a pine, and he suddenly stomped one foot down.

Boom!

A roar like muffled thunder resounded.

Pitch-black True Martial Power, carrying a magnificent divine might, blasted outward.

The ten-thousand-mile Sea of Malice below was instantly suppressed into silence, unable to stir up even the slightest ripple again.

As Chen Yan slowly turned his head, his two sun-like eyes looked toward a distant direction, the golden-red gaze seeming to pierce through the entire chaotic and filthy land.

At this moment.

In a place infinitely far away.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!

Deep within the Sea of Malice, some terrifying existence seemed to have sensed this gaze.

Across the vast distance, a strange sense of eye contact was formed with Chen Yan.

It was the Yuanchu Hundun!

This was a gaze of malice and will.

After ascending and breaking through his realm, Chen Yan had vaguely acquired this perception that only gods possessed.

Chen Yan knew that the Yuanchu Hundun had come because of him.

"I am right here in the Evil Realm, waiting for you."

He spoke slowly, his voice shaking the heavens and earth, as if declaring war against the rules of the world.

In the past, Chen Yan launched a surprise attack on Ji Province, and the Yuanchu Hundun appeared in the human world, only to be forced back by a single word from Chen Yan.

That day, Chen Yan had been forced into a corner.

But this time, Chen Yan's heart was filled with intense fighting spirit.

So what if there are five Great Ancient Divine Beasts?

In the past, he had to join forces with Lu Xunyang to kill one Dream-Eating Tapir.

Today, he, Chen Yan, would destroy one all by himself!

The next moment.

"You could at least pay some attention to me."

Xuan Yi's helpless voice rang out.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ten stars that had originally been suppressing the Blood Sun chains spun crazily, approaching Chen Yan.

A sense of danger struck instantly.

As the ten stars spun wildly, the air became scorching, whipping up hurricanes that churned the Sea of Malice.

The ten 8th-rank Ancient Divine Beasts that were originally about to pounce saw this scene and did not immediately surround him.

"Oh no, it's a divine array within a divine array!"

Within Luo Town, Fang Rui shouted out: "These ten stars are going to explode!"

Ruan Qingyu saw this scene, her breathing nearly stalling, and she hurriedly cast a formation to protect herself.

She had not expected Xuan Yi to have prepared a second divine array for Chen Yan.

【Ten Thousand Calamity Star Burst】!

And this 【Ten Thousand Calamity Star Burst】 divine array was the most terrifying one.

Although she had never seen it, her sister had once evaluated it.

This was a divine array that could effortlessly annihilate an 8th-rank peak existence.

A sense of fear struck.

At this moment, what Ruan Qingyu feared was being caught in the aftermath of the explosion.

Above the void.

As the ten stars spun crazily, the air became incredibly scorching, and space constantly twisted, fluctuated, and deformed.

Vaguely, countless locking sensations rushed toward Chen Yan.

"Interesting," Chen Yan murmured:

"The heroes of the world are truly as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river."

The next moment.

Boom!

A scorching red radiance burned upon Chen Yan's physical body.

Will Martial Art 【Will Bestowed Upon My Body】, activate!

In an instant, Chen Yan's physical strength and blood-Qi power surged crazily.

This was a Will Martial Art that could allow Li Zhiyi, who possessed a mortal body, to have the physical body of the Creation Realm.

When applied to Chen Yan, it unleashed unimaginable power.

Amplify!

Amplify!

Chen Yan's combat power doubled crazily.

Even if it could not achieve the same level of amplification as Li Zhiyi, it was still terrifying.

Two-fold amplification!

Three-fold amplification!

…………

Ten-fold amplification!

An increasingly terrifying pressure erupted from Chen Yan's physical body.

Twenty-fold amplification!

Thirty-fold amplification!

……

Fifty-fold amplification!

Power that had reached the absolute peak surged within Chen Yan's body.

A full fifty-fold amplification!

This was amplifying Chen Yan's physical body, which was already at the peak of the Creation Realm, not a mortal body like Li Zhiyi's.

【Will Bestowed Upon My Body】, truly extraordinary!

"Eh..."

Xuan Yi's voice of surprise and suspicion sounded once more.

The next moment.

With a *snap*.

Chen Yan pressed his palms together.

Pitch-black True Martial power intertwined with golden-red Immortal Will, rotating.

The Will of Destruction and the aura of Life and Death were slowly injected within.

As Chen Yan slowly opened his palms.

The crazily circulating light and flames condensed into ten pitch-black points of light in Chen Yan's hands.

These ten points of light floated there lightly, without leaking any pressure.

They looked just like ten pitch-black marbles.

【Control Decay - Saintly Condensation of the Primordial】!

As Chen Yan's strongest offensive means during the era of the Five Clans Conflict, Chen Yan had always only been able to use it once per battle.

But now, Chen Yan had ascended to the Breaking Realm.

His True Martial path had also been rebuilt once.

This time, he unleashed ten 【Saintly Condensation of the Primordial】 simultaneously!

As Chen Yan's intent flickered, the ten pitch-black points of light slowly drifted toward the ten stars that were crazily rotating and gathering momentum.

The vast heaven and earth fell into a state of silence.

Mu Yanwan stood frozen on the spot.

Fang Rui's mouth hung wide open.

Peng Linjun's throat choked up for an instant.

Ruan Qingyu stared fixedly.

At this moment.

It seemed as if nothing had happened.

In this instant, the world froze.

Silence!

Utter stillness.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion tore through eardrums and shattered space.

The ten stars burst simultaneously, and billions of rays of world-destroying divine light poured down from the firmament, as if divine punishment had descended.

The pitch-black Sea of Malice was instantly evaporated, turning into boiling clouds of ash, only to be torn into dust by the shockwave of the explosion.

The firmament collapsed, and space shattered layer by layer like a fragile mirror, revealing twisted chaotic rifts.

The ten Eighth-Rank Ancient God Beasts didn't even have time to roar before their bodies twisted and dissolved in the aftermath of the explosion.

An indescribable shockwave surged toward Luo Town.

In an instant, this world-destroying disaster made it impossible for even the creatures crawling on the ground to utter a single word.

They could only watch as the endless firelight covered the sky and earth, as if they had already seen the moment they would be burned to ashes.

"No!"

Ruan Qingyu screamed, her face deathly pale.

She could not stop herself from retreating, but amidst this heaven-shaking roar, she was merely the most imperceptible insect.

"As expected..."

Mu Yanwan stared blankly, as if she had long since anticipated Chen Yan's strength, long since anticipated that Chen Yan was unrivaled.

She knew she would be crushed into a bloody mist by the aftermath.

Yet, at the very instant before the sky-filling sea of fire swallowed Luo Town.

A giant hand formed from the power of True Martial reached out from the sea of fire, and with a gentle grasp, as if clutching a piece of fiery cloth, it gathered the sky-tilting sea of fire into its palm.

Amidst the scorching light, Chen Yan transformed into a streak of light, unleashed 【Blood Intent】, and wielding his blood blade, charged toward the ten Ancient Divine Beasts affected by the explosion.

He withstood the power of destruction with the fifty-fold amplification of 【Intent Bestowed Upon My Body】, slashed out with his blood blade, and the will of destruction poured forth like a torrent, sweeping madly toward the surroundings.

Screech!

The sharp, shrill cries of the Ancient Divine Beasts seemed extremely thin at this moment, completely drowned out by the sound of the explosion.

Chen Yan slashed down, his blade light piercing through the chaos of the explosion.

One after another, the miserable shrieks came to an abrupt halt.
