Chapter 883: Status of Will

The Path of Will should now condense its own unique Status.

The Path of Qi and Blood: the breath of life and death condenses into the Status of the Path of Qi and Blood.

The Path of Transverse Tempering: the breath of life and death produced by the cycle of the universe within the Transverse Tempering itself condenses into the Transverse Tempering Status.

And previously, Chen Yan's long-held conjecture was confirmed.

Those thirty-four strands of Ancient God breath blurred together as they condensed, forming the shape of an eyeball.

That eyeball was the Status unique to an Ancient God.

Ancient God Status!

Supreme Ancient God Beasts, such as the Dream-Eating Tapir and that fish-type Supreme Ancient God Beast, all desire to obtain Ancient God breath.

Because Ancient God breath is a high-ranking substance, a supreme existence that can allow them to reach the Ninth Rank.

And the breath of life and death within their bodies combines with malice to form the breath of life and death unique to Eighth Rank Ancient God Beasts.

But their breath of life and death is not Ancient God breath.

Or rather, the breath of life and death of Ancient God Beasts must evolve before it can transform into Ancient God breath.

Once they obtain Ancient God breath, they can ascend to the Ninth Rank.

But the problem arises.

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes.

A long time ago, he had already concluded that the Path of Ancient Gods is also a Martial Path.

The two Martial Paths of Qi and Blood, and Transverse Tempering.

The Eighth Rank is the condensation of the breath of life and death.

The Ninth Rank is the condensation of the breath of life and death into a Status.

The evolutionary process of Ancient God Beasts.

The Eighth Rank condenses the breath of life and death of an Ancient God Beast.

The Ninth Rank is the evolution of the breath of life and death into Ancient God breath.

And this process of Ancient God breath condensing into an Ancient God Status...

Is not a process that should belong to the Ninth Rank.

It is the Tenth Realm!

Ancient Gods are not Ninth Rank.

They are Tenth Rank!

This is the reason why, for ten thousand years, even Ninth Rank humans have been unable to contend with Ancient Gods.

On one hand, it is because the lethality of malice toward the human race is too great to be devoured and extinguished.

On the other hand, Ancient Gods are not Ninth Rank at all, but Tenth Rank.

They are existences of a higher realm.

The reason for this is that the breath of life and death of an Eighth Rank Qi and Blood or Transverse Tempering martial artist cannot be compared to Ancient God breath!

The Status condensed from the breath of life and death of the Martial Path simply cannot resist an Ancient God Status.

It is as if one were a mud hut built of yellow earth.

While the other is a massive bunker forged of steel!

Consequently.

Ten or even one hundred Ninth Rank Qi and Blood or Transverse Tempering martial artists could never be an Ancient God's opponent.

Because one hundred mud huts cannot smash through a steel fortress.

Chen Yan's eyes brimmed with a sharp light.

But the Path of Will is different.

The Destruction Will of the Path of Will was obtained by devouring and extinguishing Ancient God breath.

Destruction breath can be compared to Ancient God breath, and even naturally suppresses it.

The Status condensed from Destruction Will can therefore be compared to...

As Chen Yan lifted his eyes, a brightness flashed in their depths; his tone was calm yet every word carried weight:

"Ancient God Status.

The Severing Realm.

The fourth realm of the Path of Will.

The Severing Realm can change all of this and end all of this.

It shall become the end of the human race's long history of humiliation.

And I am the one who holds the blade to sever it."

Just as in days past.

He murmured to himself.

"I declare my fate to Heaven and Earth, I establish my heart to the Ten Thousand Paths, I break the shackles of the Ancient Gods, and I sever the injustices of the world."

This journey has finally reached its end.

Chen Yan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air; the exhalation seemed to contain an endless length, the lingering resonance filled with the weight of time.

Immediately, he focused his mind and calmed his spirit.

Previously, he had sensed that his Destruction Will had a tendency to condense.

And now, Chen Yan prepared to condense his own Status of Will.

Chen Yan currently only possesses fifty-two strands of Destruction Will; it is still too early to speak of completely condensing them into a Status of Will.

But the eyeball-shaped Status formed by those thirty-four strands of Ancient God breath gave Chen Yan some inspiration.

He did not need to successfully condense the Will Status in one go.

What he wanted was to first condense the overall framework of the Will Status.

And then, continuously accumulate more Destruction Will to complete the entire Will Status.

As long as he had the overall framework of the Will Status.

The Destruction Will within Chen Yan could also unleash its true power.

Chen Yan closed his eyes.

At the same time.

Within Yu Province, Zhang Huizhi, who was still listening to the sermon of the Lord of Elements, ended his meditation at the same time.

In the depths of the mountains within the Great Xia, Yun Province.

Zhao Zhugui, who was traveling the world with the Lord of Concubines and continuously condensing the 【Eternal Tribulation Counter-Blood】 array disc, sat down cross-legged at the same time.

The main body and the two newborn bodies began to meditate and conceive simultaneously.

As for that terrifying gaze from the deepest part of the World of Malice, it was best left to Li Zhiyi.

Almost the moment Chen Yan entered meditation.

Boom!

The endless malice entrenched above Qi Province was swept away by a massive, surging force.

A hand.

A slender maiden's hand suddenly appeared, reaching out toward Li Zhiyi.

In an instant, the slender palm spread out into a giant palm covering the firmament.

The palm wind descended, carrying the heaviness of time, its boundlessly vast outline seemingly wanting to bring everything before it under its control.

An endless sense of crisis exploded in everyone's hearts simultaneously.

Terror!

Indescribable terror suddenly struck.

The World of Malice shook at this moment, and countless screams and wails filled the human realm.

"Ming Yan Ni!"

Xia Hanzhou screamed out.

Great Xia, the Five Clans, all heavens and earth.

Countless pairs of eyes looked toward this place, staring at that giant palm.

Merely by appearing.

The terror it brought had already crushed an entire World of Malice.

This was one of the Four Ancient Divine Beasts.

This was Ming Yan Ni.

Terror far exceeding anything before!

As the pressure descended, this giant palm had already appeared above Li Zhiyi.

Sweeping across the ten-thousand-mile sky, it covered down in an instant.

Li Zhiyi looked up, cold light flashing in his eyes.

It has come!

Almost in an instant, countless rules of malice locked onto Li Zhiyi's body.

Bang bang bang bang!!!

Countless streaks of blood-lightning exploded wildly before the giant hand had even arrived.

The rules of malice had already begun colliding with the fifty-two strands of Destruction Will on Li Zhiyi's body.

Striking continuously.

Impact, shattering, shattering, impact.

Until that giant palm completely covered down.

The palm prints spread out like deep ravines in the earth, completely blocking all of Li Zhiyi's vision.

He stood amidst the gullies of the palm prints, his red robes fluttering.

"Ahhhhh!"

Someone screamed, having seen the catastrophe of world destruction.

Xia Hanzhou appeared behind Li Zhiyi, a long spear appearing in his hand, standing ready.

As the giant palm continued to descend.

The palm print gullies crushed the surrounding high mountains and the earth.

The fine lines between the palm print ravines were intertwined like spiderwebs.

Until it completely suppressed downward.

In the crevices of those spiderweb lines, densely packed, billions of eyes completely appeared within Li Zhiyi's line of sight.

Countless gazes struck completely.

Xia Hanzhou raised the long spear in his hand, and countless cracks of malice had already appeared on his physical body.

The malice was tearing him apart.

He sneered and was about to unleash a spear strike, but heard Li Zhiyi speak calmly:

"To fight against the supreme is my opportunity; Xia Moon King, do you wish to steal my opportunity?"

Xia Hanzhou was stunned, looking at Li Zhiyi in shock.

Damn it!

Damn it all, what time is it now.

Yet, look.

Li Zhiyi pressed his palms together, the Will of Destruction condensing in his palms.

Pieces of 【Holy Condensed Primordial】 emerged.

Fifty-two pieces!

Following this, Li Zhiyi held them up with one palm.

The fifty-two pieces of 【Holy Condensed Primordial】 flew toward every part of the giant palm.

Boom!

A brilliant, eye-catching flame rose beneath the giant palm, spreading continuously.

The world turned bright white!

Xia Hanzhou's eyes narrowed; feeling the terrifying explosions erupting everywhere, he was just about to speak.

The next moment, his eyes turned sharp, and he thrust toward his back.

Puchi!

The Ninth-Grade Spear Soul pierced a soft, supple body.

But that soft body did not dodge; instead, it came straight forward and slapped a palm onto Xia Hanzhou's shoulder.

Boom!

A massive force struck, and Xia Hanzhou's body was instantly driven into the ground.

The earth shattered, and magma surged.

The giant palm in the sky vanished suddenly.

The Red-Eyed Girl appeared beside Li Zhiyi, vanished suddenly, and flickered again.

A crystalline finger was already pressed against Li Zhiyi's pupil.

Pa!

A hand pressed against the girl's ankle.

It was Xia Hanzhou, who had rushed up from the depths of the Earth's core.

Xia Hanzhou's eyes were filled with extreme rage, and there were traces of being scorched among his hair.

The next moment, he grabbed wildly with his hand, intending to drag the Mingyan Beast into the depths of the Earth's core.

Roar!

A roar resounded.

A blood-red, slender, pitch-black tongue wrapped around Xia Hanzhou's waist.

Following the pull of this slender tongue, Xia Hanzhou was dragged into the World of Malice.

And between heaven and earth, only the Mingyan Beast and Li Zhiyi remained.

Boom!

Inside the World of Malice, a sky full of spear light erupted.

Countless giant spear shadows shook, towering into the clouds.

One could see that several massive Eighth-Grade Ancient God Beasts were engaging Xia Hanzhou in battle.

Pa!

On the Mingyan Beast's ankle, array patterns flickered; it was the spatial array disk that Xia Hanzhou had condensed in that instant.

Xia Hanzhou's hand reached out from the array disk, but it was bound by pitch-black thin threads and tentacles.

Inside the array disk, Xia Hanzhou's eyes, cold as ice, appeared; he wanted to crawl out, but was pulled back by the Ancient God Beasts behind him, unable to emerge.

"Shen Keqing, Blood Sword, Longevity!"

Xia Hanzhou roared, and malice emerged on the Mingyan Beast's ankle, devouring and extinguishing this spatial array disk completely.

Between heaven and earth, three streaks of light rushed over rapidly.

The white-haired Longevity King stepped upon the Longevity Ten-Thousand-Year Cauldron.

The Blood Sword Saint was surrounded by countless blood swords.

The other person held a long sword, wore black clothes, and had an extremely cold expression.

Shen Keqing, the person who had initially acted as a guardian for Chen Yan, appeared at this moment.

The aura overflowing from her body was even stronger than that of the Longevity King and the Blood Sword Saint.

This scene was a matter of life and death.

The Mingyan Beast stared at Li Zhiyi at close range, expressionless, as if wanting to perceive every bit of the aura on Li Zhiyi's body.

Facing the arrival of the three Eighth-Grade beings.

She swiped her fingertip, and a drop of scarlet blood oozed from between her brows, suddenly expanding into a ten-thousand-foot blood sun.

That blood sun writhed like a living creature, instantly wrapping Li Zhiyi and her inside.

Dense, strange blood vessels appeared on the fetal membrane formed by the blood light, each vessel resembling a coiled evil dragon, spitting out an aura that devoured all things.

Boom!

The Longevity Cauldron smashed down with a boom, and the body of the cauldron was actually cracked like a spiderweb from the recoil.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

The Blood Sword Saint's ten thousand sword shadows slammed into the blood sun embryo, like rain hitting duckweed, failing to stir up even a ripple.

Ka!

A streak of sword light slashed through the blood sun embryo.

Shen Keqing's long sword sank in deeply, but could not advance any further.

At this moment, the world fell silent.

Hum!

Between heaven and earth, a great ruler condensing the galaxy and universe descended.

The Grand Minister of Rites was dressed in a white robe, incomparably holy, chanting words in his mouth.

Crack, crack, crack!!!

The Star Ruler sank deep into the Blood Sun Embryo, yet it could not reach the location where the Mingyan Beast resided.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

Between heaven and earth.

A massive phantom appeared in the world, a figure in green robes stepping upon the human realm, carrying endless might, forming a sword with two fingers and pointing down.

The Master of True Intent!

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Countless sword souls pierced into the Blood Sun Embryo, turning it into a hedgehog, yet they could not shatter it.

At this moment.

The expressions of Shen Keqing and the others changed drastically.

The world was silent.

The Mingyan Beast, one of the Four Ancient Divine Beasts, had manifested in the world once again!

This time, it was even more powerful and even more dangerous!
