Chapter 907: A Thousand Years, Ten Thousand Years, Lord Without-Trace

Evil Realm.

Yun Hai Prefecture.

"Ruan Qingwu, you...!"

When Mu Yun Hai saw Ruan Qingwu with his own eyes, and it was a Ruan Qingwu who was not wearing a mask, his pupils shook violently.

Subconsciously, he wanted to flee directly.

Beside Ruan Qingwu, Chen Yan's gaze flickered.

"Holy shit, Dad!" Mu Yun Hai screamed, his physical body folding as long spikes of will pinned him to the ground.

Ruan Qingwu walked slowly to the front of Mu Yun Hai.

Her face glowed with a lustrous sheen under the light and shadow, every contour so exquisite it seemed carved by heaven, making one fall for her at a single glance.

Mu Yun Hai widened his eyes, looking at the white-haired old man behind Ruan Qingwu.

"Dad, what's wrong with you, Dad? How could you be bewitched by her!"

Mu Yun Hai growled, a ferocious look appearing in his eyes.

He had not expected that Ruan Qingwu would actually come, and even bewitch Chen Yan.

"Brother Chen has not been bewitched by me."

Ruan Qingwu smiled at the corners of her mouth, walked to Chen Yan's side, pressed her body close to Chen Yan, and said with breath like orchids:

"Brother Chen shares the same aspirations as I do."

"Hurry up and kill Chen Yan, Chen Yan killed your sister!" Mu Yun Hai said coldly.

For an instant, Ruan Qingwu's eyes were as clear as cold stars, yet they hid an unmelting allure.

Chen Yan frowned slightly, looking at Ruan Qingwu beside him.

A delicate look appeared on Ruan Qingwu's face:

"Brother Chen killed my sister, so naturally, there is grief in my heart.

But if Brother Chen helps me obtain the Emperor Fruit, it would not be impossible for me to give myself to Brother Chen."

Mu Yun Hai squinted as he watched this scene:

"Dad, she's lying, Dad!"

Chen Yan lifted his hand indifferently.

Crack!

A blood spike of will pierced into Mu Yun Hai's eyeball.

"Fuck!"

Mu Yun Hai roared.

He was furious.

He was not angry that Chen Yan had been bewitched by Ruan Qingwu.

He was angry that Chen Yan had suffered such heavy injuries during his breakthrough.

And he, previously, had not made a move.

Originally, when Mu Yun Hai saw with his own eyes two hundred strands of Ancient God aura merging into Chen Yan's body, he had already been itching to act.

But when he had attacked earlier, he was suppressed by Chen Yan at will, and Mu Yun Hai was afraid.

He had not expected that one false step would lead to eternal regret.

Ruan Qingwu had bewitched Chen Yan, and Chen Yan could control him.

Now, Ruan Qingwu was likely to become the biggest winner.

The next moment.

Petals bloomed behind Ruan Qingwu, forming a beautiful world of red flowers.

Waves of bewitching intent surged toward Mu Yun Hai.

Crack, crack, crack!

In the void, the power of rules collided.

Ruan Qingwu's eyes widened as a force of backlash struck her, and she actually spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.

"You!" Ruan Qingwu looked at Mu Yun Hai in astonishment.

"Poisonous woman!"

Mu Yun Hai sneered:

"I began preparing methods to target you ten thousand years ago.

If you continue to bewitch me, my Causality Rules will cause you even more pain!"

The next moment.

Chen Yan reached out with one hand, his power of will transforming into a giant claw to lift Mu Yun Hai.

Mu Yun Hai's face flushed red in an instant, and cracks appeared on his head.

"Killing me is useless, this is... a self-operating Causality Array!"

Mu Yun Hai spoke with difficulty:

"Besides, Ruan Qingwu, you dare to kill me!

The Fourth Dao Child Mo cultivates the Causality Rules with me; if you kill me, his strength will increase rapidly!"

Chen Yan's expression was indifferent; Mu Yun Hai's head was about to explode.

"Dad!

I am your son, you are my... Dad!" Mu Yun Hai roared.

Seeing this, Ruan Qingwu hurriedly patted Chen Yan on the shoulder:

"Brother Chen, spare him for now."

Chen Yan's brow relaxed; Mu Yun Hai collapsed to the ground, clutching his neck and dry-heaving.

Ruan Qingwu's eyes were filled with coldness as she looked at Mu Yun Hai.

She had not expected Mu Yun Hai to have prepared so much.

If not for Chen Yan controlling Mu Yun Hai, and her seizing the opportunity to control Chen Yan.

When the future struggle for the Emperor Fruit arrived, she might have been wiped out by Mu Yun Hai.

Mu Yun Hai stood up and looked at Ruan Qingwu:

"Let's join forces.

Chen... my father is here, I will not betray you."

Mu Yun Hai twisted his neck, but a sinister, cold light hid in the depths of his eyes, and a trace of scrutiny and calculation quietly dissipated.

Compared to Ruan Qingwu, Mu Yun Hai feared Chen Yan more.

Ruan Qingwu had her own selfish motives when doing things, so she was easy to calculate.

But Chen Yan, he truly could not see through him.

Chen Yan was like a Master of the Martial Dao who could truly look down upon him and know his every thought.

In front of Chen Yan, Mu Yun Hai felt completely uneasy, feeling as if there was no hope of survival.

But now, with the change in the situation, it was actually a good thing for Mu Yun Hai.

Ruan Qingwu looked at Mu Yun Hai and bowed gracefully:

"Then I shall trouble the Sixth Daoist."

Mu Yun Hai nodded and looked at Ruan Qingwu, transmitting his voice:

"You should have killed Chen Yan."

Ruan Qingwu looked at Chen Yan, her gaze lingering and silky, transmitting her voice:

"Brother Chen is a great help to me."

Mu Yun Hai pursed his lips, transmitting coldly:

"You don't understand him at all; he is terrifying. You have him controlled now, so you still have a way to kill him.

Once he finds an opportunity to counter-kill you, you will regret it!"

Ruan Qingwu looked at Chen Yan, hooked her arm around his shoulder, rested her head on his shoulder, and cast a cold gaze toward Mu Yun Hai.

"He has two hundred strands of Ancient God aura in his body; how could he recover?"

Mu Yun Hai's eyes shrank, and he gritted his teeth, transmitting:

"Two hundred strands of Ancient God aura couldn't kill him, so what makes you think you can control him!"

Ruan Qingwu raised her head and looked at Chen Yan with a pitiful expression, as if filled with ten thousand sentiments:

"Brother Chen, you will help me, won't you?"

Chen Yan lowered his head and smiled calmly:

"Naturally."

Ruan Qingwu smiled instantly, her gentle gaze seemingly able to wrap a person in boundless warmth.

Mu Yun Hai watched this scene quietly, sneering repeatedly in his heart.

Ruan Qingwu wasn't falling for it.

Once Ruan Qingwu killed Chen Yan, Mu Yun Hai could instantly control the entire Yun Hai Dao Fu to suppress and kill Ruan Qingwu.

After all, this was Mu Yun Hai's home turf.

The other party was indeed the number one beauty of the Evil Realm, but Mu Yun Hai was about to die himself, so why would he care if she was beautiful or not?

Damn it, poisonous woman!

At most, he would crush her into mud with his own hands to show his "pity."

But what Mu Yun Hai said was also true.

Chen Yan truly gave Mu Yun Hai a feeling of extreme terror.

"Qingwu, Father!" Mu Yun Hai spoke:

"From now on, I, Mu Yun Hai, will definitely give everything for the two of you!"

Chen Yan watched this scene indifferently.

His original consciousness was constantly being influenced by Ruan Qingwu, but the three newborn bodies of Zhao Zhugui kept inputting correct cognition into his original self.

It was as if one person was teaching Chen Yan that one plus one equals four the previous second.

The next second, the other three Chen Yans, whom he trusted more, would tell him that one plus one equals two.

Li Zhiyi and Zhang Huizhi were both busy now, so the task of correcting Chen Yan's cognition was mainly left to Zhao Zhugui.

The hypocrisy and even the emotional changes of these two, Ruan Qingwu and Mu Yun Hai, were all taken in by Chen Yan.

Interesting.

Chen Yan wanted to see these two kill each other even more.

It could be considered adding a bit of color to his path of seeking the Dao.

"Mu Yun Hai," Chen Yan said faintly.

"Father, I am here," Mu Yun Hai hurriedly bowed.

"Don't insult my surname," a cold light appeared in Chen Yan's eyes.

Mu Yun Hai was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said:

"I am not Father's son; I am Father's dog."

As Mu Yun Hai spoke, Ruan Qingwu frowned.

"Woof!"

Mu Yun Hai suddenly barked like a dog, and Ruan Qingwu's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Woof, woof, woof!"

"Since you like being a dog so much," Chen Yan said indifferently, reaching out with one hand.

Mu Yun Hai's eyes widened; his physical body began to twist and change, actually transforming into the body of a dog.

Furthermore, the power of will within his body spilled out, wrapping around Mu Yun Hai's head, making Mu Yun Hai truly become a dog.

His physical body had been molded by Chen Yan using the power of will; whatever Chen Yan wanted him to become, he would become.

Endless killing intent erupted in Mu Yun Hai's eyes, but the next moment, he hurriedly hid it.

Chen Yan could immediately feel Ruan Qingwu's body stiffen, the light flowing in her eyes freezing at her lashes, her gaze trembling.

Mu Yun Hai had truly become a dog.

In Chen Yan's eyes, what exactly were these Dao Children who suppressed various parts of the Evil Realm?

One must know, Mu Yun Hai was the Fifth Dao Child, while she was merely the Sixth.

A wave of lingering fear rose in Ruan Qingwu's heart.

Fortunately, when she arrived, it was when Chen Yan was at his weakest.

If not...

Just thinking about the two hundred strands of Ancient God aura inside Chen Yan that could erupt at any moment.

Ruan Qingwu gradually loosened the arm she had been holding Chen Yan with.

"If you truly want to kill him, just leave it to me," Chen Yan said blandly.

Ruan Qingwu exhaled a breath of cold air, smiling without warmth:

"Brother Chen, you are indeed... formidable."

After a while.

Chen Yan walked out of the Dao Child Mansion and called for Mu Yanwan:

"I am leaving for a while; you all guard the Yun Hai Dao Fu for the time being.

As for the divine array energy needed when the Small Tide and Large Tide occur..."

Chen Yan waved one hand, and three pitch-black orbs of light appeared, drifting toward Mu Yanwan.

"Sealed inside these are three of my True Martial Path clones; just open one each time a tide occurs."

This was the 【Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill】.

Chen Yan had condensed them with True Martial power and sealed them with an array.

"Yes!" Mu Yanwan respectfully received the three light orbs, then bowed:

"Wherever the Venerable wishes to go, Mu Yanwan is willing to go through fire and water."

Chen Yan looked at Mu Yanwan and nodded:

"Cultivate well."

A trace of disappointment appeared in the depths of Mu Yanwan's eyes, and she immediately bowed:

"Yes."

Chen Yan left; from beginning to end, Mu Yanwan did not notice Ruan Qingwu and the dog following beside Chen Yan.

Very quickly.

Chen Yan and the others arrived at the shore.

A boat leaf shone like a bright pearl in the night, its eaves carved and painted, the gilded patterns gleaming in the glow of the clouds.

"Brother Chen, please," Ruan Qingwu said softly.

Chen Yan stepped onto the boat leaf.

His perception opened wide, and his expression shifted slightly.

He felt a terrifying gaze coming from the depths of the Sea of Malice.

It was somewhat familiar, and somewhat terrifying.

Who was it?

Right.

That supreme Ancient God Beast that had gone completely insane.

"Brother Chen, you sensed it too, right?" Ruan Qingwu smiled:

"That is Dao Child Zhu Ming."

"Zhu Ming?" Chen Yan frowned.

Ruan Qingwu nodded and began to explain slowly to Chen Yan.

Zhu Ming was once a close friend of Bai Wuseng, and the former Second Dao Child.

Ten thousand years ago.

Wuhen Jun appeared suddenly, and after a great battle with Zhu Ming, defeated Zhu Ming by a narrow margin to become the Second Dao Child.

Originally, Zhu Ming should have become the Third Dao Child.

But Zhu Ming did not; instead, Zhu Ming snuck into the Central Divine Soil and stole the Emperor Fruit.

That time, it angered the Master of Arrays so much that they personally took action to suppress and kill Zhu Ming.

Zhu Ming snuck into the Sea of Malice, yet still faced pursuit from the Master of Arrays.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ming lured in two great Penal Lords and five supreme Ancient God Beasts.

The Master of Arrays erupted in thunderous rage, suppressing the Penal Lords and the supreme Ancient God Beasts, but was unable to kill the supreme Ancient God Beasts, which led to Zhu Ming's escape.

By the time the Dao Children heard news of Zhu Ming again, Zhu Ming had already become an Ancient God Beast.

And that Emperor Fruit, having encountered endless malicious erosion, could no longer be consumed by the human race.

Chen Yan raised his brows slightly and looked at Ruan Qingwu:

"Ten thousand years ago, Lord Wuhen appeared out of nowhere?"

"Yes." Ruan Qingwu nodded:

"The current Six Dao Children—no, Five Dao Children—are actually us from fifty thousand years ago.

Except for Lord Wuhen; Lord Wuhen is a figure who suddenly appeared ten thousand years ago.

Moreover, he was the Dao Child most capable of threatening Xuan Yi, extremely powerful!

The Master of Arrays even modified the array connections within our bodies for this reason.

Causing Lord Wuhen to establish the same connection as us."

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes.

Ten thousand years ago in the Evil Realm was one thousand years ago in the outside world.

This was a very special number.

One thousand years ago in the outside world.

It was exactly when the Ten Thousand Aspects Island tragedy occurred.

But no matter what happened in the outside world, it actually could not produce any influence on the Evil Realm.

Except for one thing.

The birth of a Continent Bright!

In the outside world, if a human becomes a Continent Bright, they will enter the Continent Bright City within the Evil Realm to suppress the Evil Realm.

Ten Thousand Aspects Island originally had no Continent Bright.

This was the only great continent in the Great Xia that sat upon the corpse of the Ancient God Fanni.

But one thousand years ago, the Chen Lord caused mischief, brewing the tragic death of ten million living beings on Ten Thousand Aspects Island, and Ten Thousand Aspects Island erupted with endless malice.

Xia Weimin had no choice but to become a Continent Bright.

Becoming a nail piercing through the space between the outside world and the Evil Realm.

And that year.

Chen Yuan, who should have become a Continent Bright, replaced his son Chen Sheng to continue being the Chen Lord.

From that time on, Chen Continent experienced a full thousand years of time without a Continent Bright.

Traces of doubt and shock surfaced in Chen Yan's eyes.

Various questions collided in the depths of his heart.

Actually, he had been questioning this from the very beginning.

When he ascended, the various Dao Children would all associate Chen Yan as being an assistant to the other Dao Children.

More people believed that Chen Yan was going to ascend to the Ninth Rank.

Once Chen Yan became a Ninth Rank, wouldn't they be finished?

Therefore, what they were more willing to see was Chen Yan fail.

But Lord Wuhen appeared and helped Chen Yan.

This point did not conform to Lord Wuhen's interests at all.

The appearance of Lord Wuhen was also very problematic.

The Emperor Fruit was a very important link in the Master of Arrays' plan, which could be seen from this Dao Child struggle.

The Master of Arrays originally had two Emperor Fruits.

But after Lord Wuhen appeared, Zhu Ming, who was originally the Second Dao Child, went to steal one Emperor Fruit.

He even entered the Sea of Malice, causing that Emperor Fruit to be polluted by malice.

This resulted in a large portion of the Master of Arrays' plan being destroyed.

This was also related to Lord Wuhen.

Shock surfaced in the depths of Chen Yan's heart; he suddenly felt that he had grasped the most critical problem.
