Chapter 897: Evolution of the Gods!

A figure appeared.

Xia Zhiyang, dressed in a dragon robe, walked slowly across the lake; the lake water bowed and lay still beneath his feet, and the dragon patterns seemed to leap with his steps as if to tear through the air.

The Master of Arrays stood up: "Greetings, Master of Blood and Qi."

Xia Zhiyang waved his hand:

"Your strength is not beneath mine; there is no need to offer me such courtesies."

Chen Fazheng looked at Xia Zhiyang and said calmly:

"The Master of Blood and Qi did not use his full strength, so naturally, we could only fight to a draw."

Xia Zhiyang frowned slightly:

"Regarding the matter of the Emperor Fruit..."

A smile appeared at the corners of Chen Fazheng's mouth:

"I have already given him the opportunity; whether he can obtain the Emperor Fruit depends entirely on his own ability."

Xia Zhiyang nodded.

"I only fear he won't even be able to pass the first trial," Chen Fazheng continued.

Xia Zhiyang shook his head slightly:

"If he cannot pass, then it can only be attributed to fate."

Xia Zhiyang looked at Chen Fazheng:

"I have learned of the matter concerning Xuan Yi. I have come here only to ask: has the current Xuan Yi already inherited the memories of the Master of True Intent?"

Chen Fazheng stared at the Master of Blood and Qi:

"If I tell you, you must help me in the future."

"This is not a matter between you and me, but a matter for the human race. If you keep it hidden to yourself, it will inevitably cause too many delays," Xia Zhiyang said calmly.

"I am not speaking of a matter for the human race, but a personal favor I ask of you."

"Very well, speak."

"No," Chen Fazheng said faintly.

"No?" Xia Zhiyang narrowed his eyes:

"If Xuan Yi were to fully inherit the memories of the Master of True Intent..."

Chen Fazheng smiled faintly:

"Then he would be enough to become the greatest Eighth-Order in history!

Even Lu Xunyang would be no match for him!"

Xia Zhiyang fell silent.

The struggle for the Dao Seed is to gather all seven Dao Seeds into one.

If the future victor is Xuan Yi, and Xuan Yi has also inherited the memories of the Master of True Intent...

"You are seeking a supreme being, and I am also seeking a supreme being!" the Master of Arrays said with burning eyes:

"Lu Xunyang, Li Zhiyi, Chen Yan, Xuan Yi.

I hear that in the Yu Province, there is a Zhang Huizhi who is being cultivated by the entire strength of the Yu Province clan, and even the Master of Elements has gone there to preach to him.

Who among these five, in the opinion of the Master of Blood and Qi, can become the true supreme being?"

Xia Zhiyang narrowed his eyes and did not answer.

Chen Fazheng, however, laughed:

"None of them; the one who controls them is the true supreme being!"

…………

"Absurd."

In the Yun Hai Dao Fu, Chen Yan murmured.

Earlier, the words he had spoken to himself were actually overheard by the Master of Arrays.

And the other party had even mistaken it for Chen Yan being troubled because he could not pass the first trial of the Nine Refinements of the Emperor Realm.

"I had forgotten that all the Pure Lands in this world have arrays laid out by the Master of Arrays," Chen Yan whispered in his heart:

"If that is the case, then these methods the Dao Seeds use to refine living beings have also been seen by the other party."

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes.

The Master of Arrays protects the Evil Realm, yet ignores the life and death of living beings.

The so-called prevention of malice, yet within the Jing Tu, there are fierce creatures more cruel than ancient divine beasts.

In the eyes of the Master of Arrays, are living beings truly living beings, or are they just numbers?

Cold light erupted in the depths of Chen Yan's eyes.

The initial admiration he felt for the Master of Arrays vanished completely at this moment.

Just like with Chen Yuan, Chen Yan understood Chen Yuan's ideas, but he did not approve of Chen Yuan's various methods.

Is the Emperor Fruit something that all Dao Seeds must fight for?

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes.

If that is the case, then let these Dao Seeds watch as the Emperor Fruit they yearn for so much turns into wind and drifts away.

He sensed the time on Li Zhiyi's side.

Seven days had passed in the outside world.

And seventy days had passed in the Evil Realm.

This time, Chen Yan had actually spent seventy days just to accept the memories.

Chen Yan once again sensed the situation on Zhang Huizhi's side.

The next moment, joy appeared in Chen Yan's eyes.

【World Instant】 has reached the micro-level!

Zhang Huizhi had been studying 【World Instant】 with the Universe Master inside the Dao-Enlightenment Myriad Manifestations Map.

The harvest was indeed great!

Now, Zhang Huizhi was perfecting his own protective patterns under the guidance of the Universe Master and the various technologies of the Universe Clan.

The efficacy of these protective patterns was the same as Chen Yan's initial protective patterns.

Speed increase and concealment.

But this time, with the help of the Universe Clan, he would directly complete god-level protective patterns!

The Universe Master was indeed formidable, even though he had long ago abandoned the path of physical martial arts.

Yet his understanding of physical martial arts was incomparably profound.

The other party truly wanted to impart everything he knew to Chen Yan.

Moreover, Chen Yan could feel it.

The Universe Master was becoming increasingly urgent.

It seemed as if the Universe Master had already seen his own death date.

The only thought the other party had before death was to thoroughly teach Zhang Huizhi.

Because.

Chen Yuan was coming.

To kill the Universe Master and let the Universe Master become a Chen Prefecture luminary.

And the only one among the human race who could block the Universe Master was Lu Xunyang.

But if Lu Xunyang made a move, it would certainly invite a siege from the rest of the world's strongest humans and ancient divine beasts.

No, it was hard to say whether Lu Xunyang would even make a move.

The burden Lu Xunyang carried was too great; if he moved, the Great Xia would move.

And no one knew how many people would die.

Chen Yan's gaze was heavy.

The Universe Master had never participated in the Great Xia War, but had instead single-mindedly sought a new path for the human race.

The path of technology was definitely a path that could be taken.

It was just that there was no time left.

The Universe Master was utterly sincere toward the human race and willing to sacrifice everything of his own.

Yet now, he had become someone who must die.

The Universe Master was even more sincere toward Chen Yan.

He did not even care that Chen Yan had faked the Ice Intent, causing the Universe Clan to participate in the Five Clans' Great Xia struggle ahead of schedule.

Nor did he care that Chen Yan had killed his son, Yu Laiwei; instead, he was willing to act as Chen Yan's teacher and entrust him with everything.

What kind of magnanimity was this?

"This world... people live too bitterly."

Chen Yan murmured and sat down cross-legged.

There was a surge of energy in his heart, constantly accumulating, transforming into power, and rushing into his layers of internal universes.

Promotion!

The eighth realm of the True Martial Path, the Tribulation Light Realm!

The Tribulation Light Realm requires one's internal universe to merge, be destroyed and reborn, and then achieve reincarnation, producing an aura of life and death.

But although Chen Yan was only at the Creation Realm.

The three steps of his internal universe being destroyed and reborn, achieving reincarnation, and producing an aura of life and death had already been completed.

In other words, for Chen Yan to reach the Tribulation Light Realm.

He actually only needed to let his nine layers of internal universes merge.

Nine layers of internal universes!

This quantity was already the greatest among the human race.

Moreover, it was the True Martial Path formed by the merging of horizontal-refinement blood energy.

Once Chen Yan was promoted, he would be a supreme eighth-rank!

The next moment.

Boom!

Chen Yan's whole body suddenly tensed, and his sealed aura exploded without warning!

The pitch-black True Martial power, like a deep ink abyss that had been silent for ten thousand years, breached its banks, rolling black mist surging and steaming, instantly swallowing the light and shadow around him.

Boom, boom, boom!

The nine layers of universes within Chen Yan's body each roared.

Terrifying pressure overflowed crazily.

Chen Yan had to exert his will to form a perimeter to protect himself.

No, mainly to protect this palace, this Yun Hai Dao Abode!

The nine layers of internal universes shook crazily!

And then!

Suddenly expanded!

Suddenly collapsed!

The star cores of every universe burst forth with billions of strands of pitch-black True Martial ink-light.

Pulling and colliding with one another, the nebulae merged like a surging tide!

One thousand five hundred strands of life-and-death aura, like chains of law, wove into a net, firmly binding the scattered space-time, matter, and energy!

Extinguishing and being reborn, they condensed into a singularity at the core of the unification.

This singularity was formed just like that.

An incomparably terrifying, indescribable power accumulated within Chen Yan's body.

Accumulating!

Rising boundlessly!

Even though Chen Yan had the barrier formed by the power of will to protect him.

This powerful pressure suddenly spilled outward!

Inside the Yun Hai Dao Fu.

The living beings were suddenly stunned, as if they had sensed something; an immense fear erupted in the depths of their hearts.

"A god, I felt a god!"

"The god is coming!"

"So strong, what is this!"

Countless living beings trembled and shuddered, kneeling down at this moment.

They felt a power and pressure that transcended reason.

Suppressing all living things, transcending reason, covering reincarnation!

Mu Yanwan's body stiffened, and she slowly looked toward the Yun Hai Dao Fu.

She could not sense where this power came from.

But she could guess.

That is Chen Yan!

That must be Chen Yan!

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Waves of power slammed into the Sea of Malice, spreading boundlessly.

Exploding into massive waves, those sinister, twisted creatures began to tremble.

This was a pressure that transcended their understanding.

A god of the human race is evolving at this moment!

…………

Central Divine Soil.

Xia Zhiyang looked at Chen Fazheng and said:

"What you are doing is too dangerous."

"Dangerous, naturally it is dangerous, but the matter is right there!" Chen Fazheng spoke:

"So, you must help me once."

"What do you want me to do?" Xia Zhiyang asked.

"Stop someone," Chen Fazheng said.

"Who?"

Chen Fazheng stared at Xia Zhiyang: "Chen Yuan!"

Xia Zhiyang frowned: "Isn't he on the same side as you?"

"No!" Chen Fazheng spoke:

"He, Chen Yuan, is a gatekeeper. He does not guard the gate of the five clans; he guards the gate of the world.

No matter who wants to do that dangerous thing, Chen Yuan will appear."

Xia Zhiyang frowned:

"Is Chen Yuan so powerful in your heart?"

Chen Fazheng:

"Master of Blood Qi, you can look down on me, but do not look down on Chen Yuan.

He..."

The Master of Arrays half-closed his eyes, his lips curling slightly:

"He, Chen Yuan, does not kill Chen Yan, does not kill Xia Hanzhou, does not kill Lu Xunyang; do you think he is unable to kill them?

It is because he does not want to kill.

Either he does not want to reduce the number of the human race's peak combatants, or he still harbors a shred of fantasy in his heart.

He, Chen Yuan, is the most terrifying person aside from the Xia Lord."

Xia Zhiyang's brows were tightly knit.

The Master of Arrays, however, smiled:

"Your Xia clan are dragons, the Ji clan are phoenixes, the Lu clan are lions, the Chi clan are ice-fire fish, yet the Chen clan are merely white egrets.

But these white egrets of my Chen clan are all very terrifying."

Chen Fazheng's lips held a continuous smile, but the next moment, he suddenly sensed something.

Xia Zhiyang turned his head, looking in a certain direction, a brilliant light appearing in his eyes.

"You are right, your Chen clan members are indeed all very terrifying!"

Xia Zhiyang laughed out loud.

There was excitement, there was gratification.

He had waited for a very long time.

Finally, this moment had arrived!

"You gave him the Soul of the Life Seal, he is going to advance to the Ninth Rank!" Chen Fazheng said through gritted teeth:

"Why give him the Soul of the Life Seal? Even Patrol Inspector Lu disdains using this!"

Anger appeared in Chen Fazheng's eyes.

The Soul of the Life Seal, that is something only trash like Xia Hanzhou would use!

Even if he advances to the Ninth Rank, he will not be stronger than Chen Yuan.

Patrol Inspector Lu is not even willing to use it.

Why must Chen Yan use it?

Intense disappointment appeared in Chen Fazheng's eyes.

He thought Chen Yan was destined to become an existence like him, although it would take a very long time.

But not now!

"Are you not going to stop him?!" Chen Fazheng looked toward Xia Zhiyang.

"Why should I go to stop him? He should have advanced long ago..." Xia Zhiyang looked over indifferently.

"You!" Chen Fazheng stood up.

Yet he heard Xia Zhiyang continue:

"He should have advanced to the Eighth Rank long ago."

"Hm?"

Chen Fazheng was stunned.
