Chapter 875: Withered Emperor Fruit, Scheming Against the Supreme

Chen Yan's eyes narrowed; he had actually encountered a supreme ancient divine beast belonging to the Evil Realm.

But this ancient divine beast was different from the four great ancient divine beasts of the outside world.

This existence was purely manic, as if it possessed no intelligence at all, wanting only to annihilate Chen Yan at this moment.

The aura of destruction within Chen Yan's body was vibrating.

While fleeing, Chen Yan sensed toward the rear and discovered that there were over thirty ancient divine auras in the place where this supreme ancient divine beast originally resided!

Over thirty!

These thirty-plus ancient divine auras were gathered almost together, condensed into a blurred crystalline shape.

But Chen Yan could not worry about too much right now; he simply fled.

It was not that Chen Yan feared death.

It was that Chen Yan himself knew that if he could prepare in advance, he would have better means to face this supreme ancient divine beast.

Finally, Chen Yan did not know how long he had fled, but the supreme ancient divine beast behind him stopped chasing.

Chen Yan had already flown out of the Sea of Malice and looked back.

That massive existence had already turned around, and what appeared above the Sea of Malice was a giant fish tail whose full scope could not be measured.

This fish tail was piled together from hundreds of millions of wriggling, fused, bizarre limbs and scarlet eyeballs.

The surface was covered in malicious carapaces like black crystal walls, with lava-like scarlet light patterns flowing between the gaps of the carapaces.

Boom—!

This fish tail merely swayed gently, yet it stirred up a terrifying vortex spanning hundreds of thousands of miles.

It tore the surrounding black sea, wreckage, and even space itself into pieces.

As the giant fish tail submerged into the Sea of Malice.

Endless auras of madness and evil spirits gushed out from within.

Chen Yan stood in the sky above the Sea of Malice, his eyes staring fixedly.

On the tail fin of that massive fish tail, there was actually hooked a fruit that had been eroded by malice and was severely withered.

And on that withered, misshapen fruit, there was a single character.

【Emperor】!

A withered Emperor Fruit?

Just then, the terrifying fish tail that stirred the universe slowly sank beneath the churning black Sea of Malice, and this withered fruit also disappeared from Chen Yan's line of sight.

Chen Yan's mind was shaken as he watched.

He had truly not seen wrong, and merely by seeing it, the fruit gave Chen Yan an extremely familiar feeling.

That was the fruit of the Saint-Breaking Tree.

It was indeed an Emperor Fruit.

It was just that, having been hooked by the tail fin of this supreme ancient divine beast and eroded by the Sea of Malice for endless years, it had long since withered, and perhaps the fortune within it had also mostly vanished.

But that was indeed an Emperor Fruit.

The very Emperor Fruit that the seven Great Dao Children would fight to the death to obtain.

Chen Yan stood in the void, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes.

He wanted to hunt this ancient divine beast.

Not only for the thirty-plus ancient divine auras hidden beneath it, but also for the withered Emperor Fruit hanging on its tail fin.

This supreme ancient divine beast had no cunning.

Chen Yan stood in the void with his hands behind his back, his jawline pulled tight.

Ancient divine auras held an extremely strong temptation for supreme ancient divine beasts.

To a supreme ancient divine beast, ancient divine auras were existences of a higher rank.

Back then, the Dream-Eating Tapir was also because it coveted ancient divine auras too much that it was schemed against by Chen Yan.

But no supreme ancient divine beast could obtain ancient divine auras.

This one was the same.

If it could obtain them, it would have swallowed them long ago, rather than waiting bitterly here.

The ancient divine auras should be a part of the Sea of Malice, a part of the Ancient God Fanni.

It coveted them to the extreme, yet could not obtain them, so it kept watch here, looking up day and night like a slave.

However, it had been infected by the ancient divine auras, losing its own intelligence and being left with only the most primitive irritability and desire.

Including just now, this supreme ancient divine beast only wanted to drive Chen Yan away, rather than eat Chen Yan.

Chen Yan's arrival made it believe there was a threat to its ancient divine auras.

Chen Yan pondered for a long time; what means did he have to severely injure this ancient divine beast?

【Control Decay - Saintly Will Confusion】?

No.

【Saintly Will Confusion】 could affect an average eighth-rank, but against this supreme ancient divine beast, it might only be able to affect it briefly.

What remained were the 【Annihilation】 Grand Array and 【Control Decay - Saintly Condensation of the Origin】.

Chen Yan made his plan.

He would set a trap, lure this already crazed ancient divine beast over, and then severely injure it.

Even if he could not kill it and could not obtain the withered Emperor Fruit on its tail fin.

He could still interfere with its strength, creating an opportunity for Chen Yan to obtain those thirty-plus ancient divine auras.

Chen Yan did as he thought.

He sat cross-legged above the void, his hands forming seals, and black True Martial power condensed into array patterns behind Chen Yan.

The moment the 【Annihilation】 Great Array took form, the void itself was dyed pitch-black, exuding an aura that could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.

One is not enough!

A sharp glint appeared in Chen Yan's eyes.

Chen Yan formed seals once more.

Time flowed like water, and soon, ten 【Annihilation】 Divine Arrays were crafted by Chen Yan.

Following this, Chen Yan pressed his palms together, the True Martial Power and the Power of Will intersecting and condensing continuously.

A powerful gravitational force erupted from Chen Yan's palms, and the Sea of Malice for a thousand miles around was drawn in by the gravity, surging toward Chen Yan like sheets of pitch-black curtains.

One after another, 【Holy Condensed Primordial】 were created by Chen Yan.

There were eighteen 【Holy Condensed Primordial】 in total, each containing a wisp of the Will of Destruction.

Their lethality could fully rival a Divine Technique.

"Not enough."

Chen Yan looked within himself; his nine True Martial One-Path personal universes vibrated, and the overwhelming, irresistible True Martial Power remained abundant.

This was Chen Yan's foundation.

Chen Yan spread his arms, and his surging True Martial Power burst forth violently.

【Void-Breaking - Holy Explosion】!

The True Martial Power transformed into countless Holy Explosion light orbs, condensing continuously until they filled the entire firmament.

One hundred thousand.

One million!

Two million!

Ten million!

Twenty million!

Beneath the sunless dome, Chen Yan stood silently like a solitary peak.

Twenty million pitch-black light orbs spread out behind Chen Yan like a sea of stars, the flowing light orbs exuding a bone-chilling pressure.

These were, after all, twenty million bombs.

Each one could severely injure a Creation Realm martial artist.

And here, there were twenty million!

Immediately after, Chen Yan once again manufactured over a hundred Sun-Grade spatial array disks.

He wrapped them in Immortal Will and deployed them within the Sea of Malice.

The ten 【Annihilation】 Great Arrays, eighteen 【Holy Condensed Primordial】, and twenty million Holy Explosion light orbs were then placed by Chen Yan into a trap specifically set for that supreme ancient divine beast.

Having finished all this, Chen Yan finally caught his breath and entered the Sea of Malice once more.

Roar!

A low roar resounded throughout the entire Sea of Malice, and the massive existence noticed Chen Yan once again.

A giant creature swam within the Sea of Malice, causing the surface of the sea to produce violent, boiling-like whirlpools that refused to settle for a long time.

Chen Yan fled continuously, flying until he reached a certain spot, where he slowed his speed slightly.

Chen Yan sensed behind him, but he furrowed his brows.

That supreme ancient divine beast had turned back.

Chen Yan was stunned for a good while.

He had prepared for a long time, yet that ancient divine beast was actually not coming over.

Compared to Chen Yan, a mere fly, it was clear that the ancient divine beast cared more about the Ancient God aura it could never obtain.

On Chen Yan's second arrival, the opponent's motivation to pursue and kill was clearly not as strong as the first time.

Chen Yan pondered for a while and repositioned the trap.

He ensured that the opponent could come over.

Following this, Chen Yan entered the depths of the Sea of Malice again.

Roar!

A vast, low roar filled with primordial chaos and endless malice sounded once more.

The massive creature was angered by Chen Yan again.

Chen Yan's speed was extremely fast, and he was about to reach the location of the new trap.

Gurgle...

A massive whirlpool suddenly formed in the Sea of Malice for hundreds of thousands of miles around, and the massive creature that had originally been chasing Chen Yan actually turned back again.

The distance of this pursuit was even shorter than the last.

This was even with Chen Yan taking into account the fact that the opponent's motivation was constantly fading.

Chen Yan fell silent.

The entire Evil Realm's ancient divine beasts were hunting Chen Yan.

Primordial Chaos had even come to the Evil Realm personally just to kill Chen Yan.

Yet this supreme ancient divine beast only knew its own little patch of territory and ignored Chen Yan entirely.

Can you be a bit more diligent?

For the first time, Chen Yan fell into hesitation because his enemy was too lazy.

The next moment, a fierce look appeared in Chen Yan's eyes, and he ventured deep into the Sea of Malice once again.

Upon seeing that massive abyss rift, Chen Yan threw a punch, and the True Martial Power condensed into a giant sphere.

Immediately following, Chen Yan took out another spatial formation disk and threw the formation disk and the True Martial Power out at the same time.

Boom!

The giant sphere collided with the abyss rift, blasting out a patch of malice fragments.

Roar!

The roar resounded, the massive rift closed, and a cold sneer appeared on the corner of Chen Yan's mouth as he began to flee once more.

But this time, Chen Yan had not fled for long before he froze.

This supreme ancient divine beast actually did not pursue him.

Clearly, Chen Yan had made a move this time.

What is this supposed to be?

A look of weariness appeared in Chen Yan's eyes.

He could feel that the Great Tide was about to end.

If that supreme ancient divine beast did not come, then everything he had done would become a joke.

Perhaps, there was no need for a trap at all.

Chen Yan swam toward the trap he had made, intending to collect all his preparations and face it head-on.

Moreover, Chen Yan had left a spatial formation disk inside its mouth, which could teleport all his preparations inside.

If so many means were to explode inside its mouth...

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yan's mouth.

Yet, just as Chen Yan had swum halfway.

A ray of Buddha light was transmitted from outside the Sea of Malice.

The blazing Buddha light spread rapidly in this manner, and when it touched the Sea of Malice, the Buddha light was devoured and extinguished, yet it still rudely pushed the Sea of Malice aside.

The immeasurable Buddha light illuminated where Chen Yan was, allowing Chen Yan to see the object above.

That was a Buddha Kingdom transformed from vast Buddha light; golden Buddhas stood along the mountains, auspicious clouds carried flying celestials past, monks sat cross-legged under Bodhi trees, and Sanskrit chants arose everywhere.

And in front of this Buddha Kingdom, a monk in white stood with his hands pressed together.

"Who are you?" Chen Yan spoke indifferently.

The monk in white lowered his eyes, his pupils erupting with golden light as if containing immeasurable compassion and wisdom, and when he spoke slowly, it seemed as if countless monks were chanting in unison.

"This humble monk is Bai Wu, the Third Dao Child of the Divine Soil, here to request an item from the benefactor, hoping the benefactor will be generous."

Chen Yan sensed the emotions of the monk Bai Wu.

Beneath this seemingly calm monk's appearance, there was a heart that was manic, playful, ferocious, and cold.

Such tyranny was the greatest Chen Yan had ever seen.

"I am not generous," Chen Yan laughed.

The monk Bai Wu's expression was calm, yet there was a trace of disappointment in the depths of his eyes:

"What if the benefactor's life could exchange for the survival of hundreds of millions of people?"

"Then I am still not generous," Chen Yan said indifferently, and gradually, a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He saw unprecedented tyranny on the monk Bai Wu.

The number of living beings this person had exterminated was likely to be measured in the tens of millions.

The monk Bai Wu was rejected by Chen Yan again, but he was not annoyed; instead, he said calmly:

"Then this humble monk shall, for the sake of the people of the world, invite the benefactor to go to the Blissful Reincarnation."

His voice gradually became viscous, and the terrifying Buddha light shone, appearing as if it wanted to completely solidify the space where Chen Yan was.

The next instant.

Hum!

Chen Yan's figure disappeared, and only the lingering power of the spatial formation disk remained in the place where he had been.

The monk Bai Wu's eyes were calm, and he took a step forward, the majestic Buddha power that could break the world vibrating.

A golden lotus appeared under his feet, and as he took the next step.

His figure had already appeared behind Chen Yan.

"Farewell, benefactor."

The monk Bai Wu spoke plainly and reached out a hand, the Buddha Kingdom in his palm appearing, and Chen Yan's body continuously shrank, finally being suppressed in the palm of the great Buddha within the Buddha Kingdom.

The monk Bai Wu was just about to turn and leave, but his body paused.

He saw that Chen Yan's body within the Buddha Kingdom suddenly exploded and disappeared.

"A clone?

Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill?!"

The monk Bai Wu exclaimed in surprise, locked onto Chen Yan again, and took a step.

Deep in a part of the Sea of Malice, the fleeing Chen Yan paused for a moment, looked behind him, and suddenly stopped.

Buddha light condensed in front of Chen Yan, transforming into the appearance of the monk Bai Wu.

The monk Bai Wu was about to speak, but the next moment he met Chen Yan's gaze.

【Control Decay - Holy Intent Bewilderment】!

A vast pressure descended, the monk Bai Wu's body stiffened, and he only saw the Buddha Kingdom perishing, with a terrifying great demon tearing toward him.

The next moment.

The monk Bai Wu shook his head and woke up.

His cognition had actually been altered.

"Benefactor, a fine technique!"

Just as Bai Wuseng was speaking, he saw that Chen Yan's palm had already struck his abdomen.

And at the spot where Chen Yan's palm made contact with Bai Wuseng's abdomen, a spatial formation disk was operating.

The next moment.

Bai Wuseng appeared within an abyss rift stretching one hundred thousand li long.

Inside the abyss, viscous malice had condensed into crystals, and the surface of the rock walls was covered everywhere with protruding scarlet light patterns.

Looking at the spatial formation disk beneath his feet, a hint of irritation finally appeared in Bai Wuseng's eyes.

"Benefactor is truly selfish, unwilling to sacrifice for the people of the world..."

Just as Bai Wuseng was speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

His eyes widened instantly as he looked at his surroundings.

Roar!

A terrifying roar resounded throughout the entire rift, and endless malice surged out from the depths of the rift.

Bai Wuseng's complexion turned deathly pale in an instant, then twisted into a ferocious expression.

"Zhu Ming... Daoist Child!"

The next moment.

The spatial formation disk beneath Bai Wuseng's feet flashed with light, and a pitch-black point of light was teleported over.

Bai Wuseng froze for an instant, feeling the terrifying pressure overflowing from within the point of light.

He instantly let out a violent roar.

"Ha!!!"

Boom!!!

A peerless, heaven-shaking explosion resounded in the depths of the sea of malice.

In an instant, an incredibly powerful ancient divine beast flew into a complete rage at this moment.
