Chapter 904: The Supreme Human Race

Lord Wuhen, Ruan Qingwu, Xuan Yi, and other supreme Dao Children watched in shock, their breathing trembling.

This was a true power that transcended them.

It was the condensation of the strongest pinnacle of the human race's ten-thousand-year martial path!

This is the Master of the Martial Path!

"I must!"

Xuan Yi gritted their teeth:

"I must become like them!"

The next moment.

Boom!

A sword light surged out from within Xuan Yi's body.

"You're mad!" Xuan Yi growled:

"This is your final sliver of consciousness; once you strike, you will no longer be able to stop me!"

The sword light paused for a moment, transforming into a figure in green robes.

The man in green robes stood high in the sky, looking at Xuan Yi:

"Someone will take my place to stop you."

The next moment!

Hum!

A sword!

An ink-colored sword stood in the air, its ink-black blade burning with raging flames, the sword light piercing the sky and tearing through the clouds.

A terrifying pressure enveloped the surroundings like Mount Tai pressing down; with one sword, the world was suppressed, its majestic divine might forcing heaven and earth to bow.

Standing upon the hilt was a man in green robes, his gaze calm as he looked toward the direction of the Ancient God Status.

The Master of True Intent!

To be precise, this was the remnant soul of the Master of True Intent within Xuan Yi's body.

Because with this strike, he was going to disappear completely.

His figure was illusory, with green patterns drifting around his body, becoming increasingly translucent.

He was vanishing rapidly, yet there was not a hint of pain, but rather a calmness that had seen through the vicissitudes of life.

The next moment.

The man in green robes shifted his gaze to where Chen Fazheng was, and coldness finally flickered in his indifferent eyes.

Chen Fazheng's white robes fluttered as he met the gaze of the Master of True Intent, not dodging his eyes.

Heaven and earth were greatly alarmed.

Five types of phenomena appeared simultaneously, suppressing the Sea of Malice!

At the same time.

Five Masters of the Martial Path struck in unison!

Countless people gazed on.

The panic, despair, and terror in their hearts dissipated at this moment.

"Who are they?"

"So strong, this is the true supreme power of our human race!"

"Are they Dao Children?"

"No, they are not Dao Children!"

"So, our human race... our human race still has peak combat power!"

"Why is the one wearing green robes vanishing so quickly?"

"Even if he is to vanish, he still wants to protect the humans of our Evil Realm."

"Heavens!"

Countless voices resounded within the various Pure Lands.

Within the Ancient God Status.

Chen Yan opened his world-weary eyes, as if he had sensed something.

He stood up and bowed toward the outside world.

Yet, no one saw his appearance, and no one knew what he was thinking.

In his mind, two Statuses, one red and one blue, were trembling wildly.

Countless Dao insights surged and rolled within his mind.

The Xia Master had once promised him.

If he created the third realm of the Will path, the Xia Master would bring all the Masters of the Martial Path to lecture on the Dao for him.

However, the Xia Master did not.

Because by then, Chen Yan had already split into four bodies, and it was Li Zhiyi who had created the third realm.

But this time.

The five great Masters of the Martial Path had all arrived.

They were suppressing the Ancient God, and they were also revealing to Chen Yan the power that truly belonged to a Master of the Martial Path.

The mystery that truly belonged to the pinnacle of the human world.

The next moment.

Countless pieces of information regarding heaven and earth, the human race, malice, and the Statuses gathered and intertwined within Chen Yan's mind.

Chen Yan's perception spread boundlessly, spreading, merging into the heavens and earth.

It was as if he had transformed into the human race, transformed into the earth, the mountains, the oceans, and the billions of living beings.

Chen Yan hunched his body, his hair gray and sparse, one hand slowly reaching out.

"Go."

He murmured, and the Will Status before him transformed into a stream of light and dissipated.

It actually ignored the containment of the Ancient God Status, flowing into the firmament.

"The Master of Martial Dao is the world.

Bearing all living beings upon the thick earth, covering the ten thousand universes with the firmament."

Chen Yan murmured, his head drooping, and tears actually flickered in his turbid eyes.

At this moment, he felt the human world.

He felt the emotions of billions of living beings, saw a mother holding her child, saw a husband standing before his wife.

He saw one desperate person after another, moving forward fearlessly despite their bodies trembling.

He saw weeping children.

Their emotions pierced into Chen Yan's heart, influencing Chen Yan's mood at this moment.

Finally, a line of crystalline tears slid down Chen Yan's weathered face.

"Contemplating the vastness of heaven and earth, I am alone and sorrowful... and tears fall..."

Chen Yan murmured.

He did not know how many times he had heard this sentence.

At this moment, he felt the weight and desolation of the eternal ages.

Outside.

The Xia Sovereign stood, ten thousand stars seemingly rotating in his eyes; he slowly raised his hand, his five fingers gripping the void, as if he were about to grasp the time and space of the Evil Realm into his hand.

"Gather!"

He spoke a single word, his voice like a great bell, shaking the eight wildernesses!

In an instant.

Terrifying power swept across the heavens and earth, grabbing and squeezing all the strange phenomena like a giant hand.

The ink-colored azure dragon surged, its dragon mouth opening to swallow from all directions.

Roar!

The golden dragon, the colorful dragon, the Great Array, and the ink sword were transformed into countless streams of light and swallowed into the belly of the ink-colored azure dragon.

Chen Fazheng's eyes revealed astonishment, his gaze toward the Xia Sovereign constantly changing.

The Master of Elements' expression turned cold, looking at Xia Zhiyang across an infinite distance.

Xia Zhiyang shook his head slightly.

The Xia Sovereign stood there just like that, like a twilight emperor; though he was old, he remained the most noble in the human world.

The most extreme of the human world!

In heaven and on earth, I alone am honored!

The five extreme powers converged, the azure dragon surged, and finally transformed into an ink-robed monarch standing between heaven and earth.

Just like that, he appeared before the people of the world.

The ink-robed monarch's gaze was terrifying, and just as he was about to step forward, he paused slightly.

Hum!

The firmament suddenly split open a scarlet fissure, like a blade mark traversing the galaxy.

Along the trajectory of the falling blood blade, space collapsed inch by inch, revealing the pitch-black nothingness behind it.

The pressure of the Will spread boundlessly.

This is the Will Status!

The Xia Sovereign's gaze was calm, but a strong, strange look flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The Master of Elements was stunned for an instant, immediately looking toward the Ancient God Status that was still suppressing Chen Yan.

Xia Zhiyang opened his eyes wide, the smile at the corners of his mouth unable to be stopped any longer.

The Master of True Intent's body gradually became ethereal, and just as he was staring at something before him, he completely dissipated.

Xuan Yi had been watching the Master of True Intent the whole time.

This figure, his own previous life, had fought with him for control of this body the moment he awakened.

They were the same person, yet not the same person.

They were destined opponents.

However, the Ancient God was about to awaken, the man in green robes walked out, and he dissipated.

From beginning to end, he had never looked at him once.

"What are you looking at?"

Xuan Yi roared out.

The next moment, he understood.

The other party had taken one last look at this vast human world.

Tears flowed from the depths of the other party's eyes.

Why did they flow?

Was it for his own failure?

Or was it, for this vast heaven?

Xuan Yi gritted his teeth; his opponent had vanished.

Afterward, he would absorb all of the other's martial Dao memories from their past life, and the other would be unable to stop him.

This should have been a good thing.

Yet Xuan Yi could not feel happy.

Because the other had not spared him a single glance.

Central Divine Earth.

"I knew it!"

Chen Fazheng stared fixedly at the Xia Sovereign, his body stiffening.

The next moment.

That heaven-supporting, earth-standing monarch in ink-colored robes reached out a hand, grasping the blood blade falling from the sky.

At this moment.

The three great physical martial Daos of Hardened Refinement, Blood Qi, and Will!

The three great auxiliary martial Daos of Elements, True Intent, and Array Formations!

Merging the power of the six Daos into one!

Boom!

A blade thrust into the Sea of Malice!

Boom!

A chasm a million zhang wide was slashed into the Sea of Malice.

The blood blade transformed into a sea of blood-light and dissipated, merging into the Sea of Malice!

Along with the monarch in ink-colored robes, it dissolved, transforming into boundless power that surged into the Sea of Malice.

The blinding light and the boundless sea intertwined and collided, covering the boundless realm.

Finally.

Hum!

Everything vanished!

The Sea of Malice returned to calm.

The Martial Dao Lord in the heavens seemed as if he had never appeared at all.

Inside the Yun Hai Dao Fu.

Mu Yanwan, as if only just realizing, kept looking around, wanting to find something.

The next moment, tears flickered in her eyes.

Yet she saw.

The white-haired old man in ink-colored robes was still standing there, the Ancient God Status that had enveloped him gone.

Rumble!

Above the firmament.

The nascent aura of life and death from the True Martial Dao transformed into flowing light, continuously surging into Chen Yan's body.

Now, he had become the only one in the eyes of the world.

Before the promotion, he had a peerless bearing.

During the promotion, he suppressed everything.

After the promotion, he was already old and frail.

Yet he still stood there, neither sad nor happy, his aged body seemingly containing energy capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Chen Yan looked up at the firmament.

In his mind, besides the two statuses—one red and one blue—a third one had appeared.

It was an eye.

Ancient God Status.

This Ancient God Status suppressed Chen Yan's vitality and will, yet it could not cause Chen Yan to perish.

This was an opportunity.

Once digested, it would be two hundred paths of destruction will, and Chen Yan's Will Status would also be unprecedentedly powerful.

Time was also becoming increasingly tight.

Fanni no longer had any reason; that previous trace of reason was the very last bit the other had suppressed for ten thousand years.

This time, after the other awakened, they were suppressed.

The next time they awakened, it would be the arrival of the end of the world.

However.

Eighth Rank.

Chen Yan felt a sense of relief in his heart and gazed once more toward the Yun Hai Dao Fu.

Above the Jing Tu, the look in the eyes of the myriad living beings toward him had completely changed.

"Respectfully welcome the Venerable One!"

Mu Yanwan knelt, her voice incomparably devout.

"Respectfully welcome the Venerable One!"

"Respectfully welcome the Venerable One!"

"Respectfully welcome the Venerable One!"

Countless figures slowly knelt in worship.

There were children, women, and the elderly; they were as respectful as if kneeling before a deity, to the utmost degree.

As Chen Yan walked above the Yun Hai Dao Fu.

Boom!

Array patterns rose from the earth, transforming into a grand path beneath Chen Yan's feet.

It was an Eighth-Rank expert exerting their full strength to welcome Chen Yan.

Crack, crack, crack!

Countless array patterns spread out from all directions of the Yun Hai Dao Fu, condensing together beneath Chen Yan's feet.

They transformed into an extremely brilliant golden light path.

As Chen Yan took a step, specks of golden light appeared.

The mortal world was welcoming him.

This was something that Dao Children like Mu Yun Hai could not possess.

Chen Yan reached out a hand, tapped his fingertip lightly, and terrifying power flowed into the Yun Hai Dao Fu.

It transformed into countless hands, lifting up the millions of living beings.

People gazed up at him; some were moved to tears of gratitude, others had eyes brimming with hot tears.

"The deity is supreme!" someone shouted aloud.

"The deity is supreme!"

"The deity is supreme!"

This sound turned into an ocean, boiling throughout the entire Yun Hai Dao Fu.

Chen Yan looked down, his gaze flashing across face after face, and a smile appeared on his face:

"The human race... is supreme!"

…………

The outside world.

The Universe Master watched the situation within the image, their breathing stagnating.

For a long time, they were unable to speak.

Zhang Huizhi waved a hand, and the image dissipated.

Only then did the Universe Master say in a muffled voice:

"Don't ever promote again."
