Chapter 922: The Oneness Spanning the Human Realm

At this moment, the Ancient God awakens.

The Evil Realm, the Outer Realm.

Countless living beings, they are either eating, or laboring, or working.

At the same moment.

Countless people freeze in place.

They only feel as if they have been firmly locked onto by the gaze of an ancient evil spirit.

Indistinct chaotic babble rings in their ears, tuneless syllables drilling into their eardrums, stirring their sanity until it teeters on the brink of collapse.

A blurry pitch-black throne, a blurry figure clad in filthy armor.

And, that pair of eyes containing endless evil and chaos.

Just like that, they appear within the minds of countless living beings.

A blurry sensation.

It cannot be described as seeing clearly, it cannot be described as thinking.

The living beings can only vaguely describe it as a gaze originating from chaos.

Someone opens their mouth wide, struggling to breathe.

Someone prostrates on the ground, trembling all over.

Terror!

That is the awe of an indescribable entity, the despair of sanity on the verge of disintegration.

Within the Outer Realm.

Screech!

The heaven-shaking shrieks of ancient divine beasts resound throughout every corner.

Boundless malice spreads wildly.

They can perceive that figure.

That solitary, isolated figure.

Just like that, immersed in the gloom.

He is the unknown Sovereign who holds dominion over all evil.

In his eyes, there hides a fatal malady capable of devouring sanity.

Ancient God!

The Ancient God awakens!

Yu Province.

The Master of Yu appears in a hurry inside the technological cultivation room.

There, Zhang Huizhi, dressed in a gray robe, sits cross-legged calmly.

Beneath the Master of Yu's hood, two rays of blood-red light flash wildly.

"You must give me an explanation!"

His voice is low.

He can hear the countless cries coming from within the entire Yu Province.

The Master of Yu does not want to see this scene before he dies.

He is unwilling to admit that his attempt to obstruct the Master of Arrays has instead harmed the human race.

Zhang Huizhi opens his eyes, his black hair suddenly surging wildly, with wisps of blood-red threads flowing out between the strands.

At this moment.

Zhang Huizhi's will, one path, awakens!

Under the Master of Yu's shocked expression.

Within the gray fog world created by 【Oneness】.

A new figure has appeared.

This time, appearing directly on the thirty-first seat, even surpassing the former Chen Yan.

Just as Chen Yan had anticipated.

Zhang Huizhi, who has already accommodated the five god-level elements of wind, ice, thunder, metal, and water, and condensed god-level protective patterns.

Is actually the strongest of the three new entities.

"What do you mean?"

The Master of Elements appears, carrying a hint of nervousness:

"What exactly has happened to your true self?"

The Master of Elements is emotionally agitated, having felt the gaze coming from the Ancient God.

She is in a panic.

Currently, the entire human race is in a panic, filled with fear.

Zhang Huizhi looks at the Master of Elements and shakes his head slightly:

"He can still preserve his rationality."

As his voice falls, the expressions of the Master of Elements and the Master of Yu change slightly.

Chen Yan can still maintain the rationality belonging to the human race?

This is an unimaginable thing.

The reason they helped Chen Yan was because Zhang Huizhi told them.

That once Chen Yan discovered something was wrong, he would commit suicide.

And when Chen Yan completely devolved into an Ancient God, the two of them felt they had been deceived.

If a new Ancient God were born, then they would be the sinners of the human race.

However...

The current situation is...

This Ancient God possesses an consciousness of his own.

It is just that the Master of the Universe and the Master of Elements cannot bring themselves to be happy.

Simply because, with the birth of the Ancient God, the entire world is currently in terror.

The world.

There are martial artists kneeling, and there are living beings showing signs of falling into madness.

No one can avoid their own fear of the Ancient God.

"I think... I saw him."

"No, why..."

"Who can save me, who can save me!"

"Heavenly God General, Patrol Sun God General, Master of Will, where are they?"

Scene after scene, happening across the entire world.

People dare not speak the two words 'Ancient God'.

Hundreds of millions of living beings are struggling for survival under His gaze.

The end of the human world seems to have arrived a step early.

"What are you going to do now?"

The Master of the Universe's voice is low, and the humming of mechanical operation sounds from his entire body.

The Master of Elements remains silent.

Chen Yan is not yet a complete Ancient God.

That Ancient God status is merely condensed from several hundred strands of Ancient God aura.

But, merely such an Ancient God.

Is already about to bring the apocalypse to the human world.

Zhang Huizhi looks toward a distant direction, then takes a step out.

His figure appears above the flowing clouds, and the next moment he transforms into a stream of light and flies out.

"The human race needs a god!"

Zhang Huizhi speaks abruptly:

His grey robes rustle, he treads on the void as if on flat ground, his posture as upright as a solitary peak.

"A god who can lead the people of the world toward the future; if this god cannot suppress the evil from the eternal past.

Then he will ultimately fail."

Zhang Huizhi's voice is calm, yet carries a clanging power:

"Do you know why you have always failed?"

The Master of the Universe and the Master of Elements do not utter a sound.

Yet they hear Zhang Huizhi speak lightly:

"Because you do not believe, nor do you dare to believe, that you can become that god.

You yourselves are afraid, and you have always been waiting for a true god to arrive."

Zhang Huizhi takes a step out, looking at the sky above the ocean outside the Universe Province:

"Now, this god has already arrived!"

A god who can shoulder everything.

A god who dares to fall into the abyss.

He struggles for survival in the endless darkness, and he also waits for hundreds of millions of living beings in the endless future.

The next moment, Zhang Huizhi transforms into a stream of light and instantly flies toward the outside of the Universe Province.

At the same time.

Two figures fly out from the Great Xia.

One person has red clothes, red hair, and red eyes, carrying an incomparably sharp momentum, as if they could slash through everything in the human world.

The other person has short white hair and white clothes stained with blood.

Li Zhiyi and Lu Xunyang.

"Master Lu, how does it feel to have fought with the Master of Xia?"

Li Zhiyi asks.

Lu Xunyang smiles faintly:

"I didn't win; this physical body is only at the Eighth Rank after all."

If Lu Xunyang wants to enter the Ninth Rank, he must kill a supreme Ancient God Beast of the same realm.

But the Ancient God Beast does not give him this opportunity.

"Then I shall help Master Lu enter the Ninth Rank," Li Zhiyi smiles:

"The Yuanchu Hundun is about to return."

Lu Xunyang's eyes flash with golden light:

"Master Chen will come to stop me."

Li Zhiyi looks at Lu Xunyang, and both of them reveal smiles.

The Chen Lord does not want a Ninth-Rank to be born in Great Xia.

The Ancient Divine Beasts do not allow it either.

This is a major problem.

At this moment, a name appeared in the minds of Li Zhiyi and Lu Xunyang simultaneously.

Xia Hanzhou.

"I can only wrong Hanzhou for a moment," Lu Xunyang sighed softly.

The Soul of the Name Seal in Xia Hanzhou's hand has never been used.

If Xia Hanzhou ascends to the Ninth-Rank, the Chen Lord will certainly arrive.

"Master Lu will certainly surpass the Xia Lord," Li Zhiyi said calmly.

"Why do you believe in me so much?" Lu Xunyang asked in surprise.

"Because, if I, Chen Yan, had not appeared, Master Lu would be the true Lord of Will for the human race.

Throughout history, a Martial Dao Lord capable of creating two Martial Daos has never appeared."

"The world is about to forget.

The Immortal Body appeared completely before the Path of Will.

Therefore, even the Chen Lord dares not believe that I, Chen Yan, am the Lord of Will."

As Li Zhiyi spoke, his red robes fluttered:

"They only think that the Path of Will had already appeared before Chen Yan was born.

Yet they cannot imagine that Master Lu can actually be considered a founder of the Path of Will!"

Li Zhiyi looked at Lu Xunyang:

"Master Lu, like the State-Ruling Xia Qi, is a person of extreme purity.

You are the mentor on my, Chen Yan's, life path."

Lu Xunyang fell silent upon hearing this, but a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.

His entire life had been denied by the Xia Lord.

Yet someone said he was the purest of people.

"Hahaha!" Lu Xunyang laughed heartily, golden light erupting from his pupils.

"With these words from you, Chen Yan, my life as Lu Xunyang has not been in vain!"

They streaked across the void like flowing light, slicing the layered clouds into pieces.

Above the boundless sea, fishing boats drifted.

A fisherman lay on the deck, clutching his head, whispering in agony:

"He has come, He has come!"

On the island.

Living beings struggled incessantly, their limbs and bones seemingly entangled by invisible tentacles.

Endless fear vibrated within their hearts.

In the great sea, Ancient Divine Beasts roared in excitement and awe.

The human world fell into chaos.

Because, with the appearance of that existence, everything was about to fall into disorder.

This is the disaster Chen Yan has provoked.

He is no longer the Heavenly God General of the human race, no longer the Lord of Will who saves the future.

Instead, he has become the existence the world fears most.

Li Zhiyi looked down at the islanders and fishermen below.

It was as if he saw one Zhou Lu after another, one Zhou Jiayi after another.

That Zhou Lu lay on the ground, letting out the most arduous roar toward him:

"Chen Yan, save me."

Li Zhiyi dared not imagine what the human world would become if the true Ancient Gods awakened.

"It has come."

Lu Xunyang looked ahead.

Three figures crossed the void, rushing toward him and Li Zhiyi like flowing light.

Li Zhiyi stretched out his hand, drawing a blood-red line in the void, erupting with a roar ten thousand times louder than a flying warship crossing the void.

Lu Xunyang struck out with one hand, the aura of life and death vibrating, shielding their perception from the four corners of heaven and earth.

At the same time, the Element Lord and the Universe Lord simultaneously unleashed the aura of life and death.

Completely suppressing the auras of Zhang Huizhi and Li Zhiyi.

And Zhang Huizhi reached out his hand toward Li Zhiyi at the same time.

His figure turned into a phantom.

"Within the human world, the only one who can sever my fear is myself!"

Zhang Huizhi laughed loudly.

The next instant.

Boom!

Two streaks of light collided instantly.

The red robes on Li Zhiyi suddenly exploded, turning into billions of blood-colored threads!

Zhang Huizhi's gray robes likewise disintegrated, scattering into starlight across the sky.

Boom—!

The heavens and earth shook as one!

The entire sea area boiled in an instant.

A pillar of blood-colored light piercing through heaven and earth rose from the ground, dyeing the ten thousand miles of clouds completely red.

The Master of the Universe and the Master of Elements stood there, dazed.

Lu Xunyang stood alone with his hands behind his back, watching the scene unfolding before him.

The rule barrier created by the three of them became completely ineffective at this moment.

Within the entire human realm.

Countless pairs of eyes saw that pillar of blood-colored light.

Chen Prefecture.

The Master of Chen had an extremely gloomy expression, sensing the events occurring in Chen Prefecture.

"Why?"

The Master of Chen murmured:

"Why is it that from the very beginning, it has been humans slaughtering humans.

Why?"

Fate seemed to have seized the Master of Chen by the throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Sensing Chen Yan's gaze, killing intent surged in the depths of the Master of Chen's eyes.

"I do not know why I spared you, but I heard the Ancient God's..."

The Master of Chen opened his mouth:

"Plea."

Anger appeared in his eyes:

"Why!"

Boom!

Before him, the lake water exploded, sending up towering waves.

"Why must everyone deny me, why must everyone try to step over me.

Chen Fazhen, the Master of Xia, Xia Zhiyang, Chen Yan..."

Endless killing intent gathered in the depths of his eyes.

"If only slaughter can trade for stability, I, Chen Yuan, am willing to be this executioner."

Yet, in the next moment.

Chen Yuan looked toward the distant sea area, his eyes narrowing.

At the same time.

Ancient God Forbidden Land.

Gray fog descended.

Chen Liu, dressed in green, stood calmly, watching as a massive malice pierced through the membrane and descended into the outside world.

"You have brought the Lord's will?"

Chen Liu narrowed his eyes:

"But he is not the Lord; he is Chen Yan, only he possesses the status of an Ancient God.

He cannot come to the Evil Realm, so he cannot make us submit."

Chen Liu stood with his hands behind his back and let out a cold laugh:

"He does not dare to let the Zhuo He Wumeng descend into the outside world; once the Zhuo He Wumeng leaves him, it will surely flee.

Why should we take orders from him?"

Chen Liu communicated with that massive malice, and in the next moment, revealed a human-like astonishment:

"The Lord of Will is inside Li Zhiyi's body?

This is what he said himself?"

The astonishment in Chen Liu's eyes grew more and more intense.

The Yuanchu Hundun brought Chen Yan's decree, but Chen Liu did not intend to obey.

Even the Yuanchu Hundun that had fled back did not intend to return to the Evil Realm.

But the Yuanchu Hundun brought an even more explosive piece of news.

The Lord of Will is inside Li Zhiyi's body.

This was something even the Ancient God Beast found hard to believe.

Chen Yan could not be lying to them.

Chen Yan had already been imbued with the status of an Ancient God and had become an Ancient God, so he would only become an enemy of the human race.

Then there was no reason for Chen Yan to deceive them.
