Chapter 928: Chen Yan's Unification

Chen Yan sat down cross-legged.

Once again, he sensed the Ancient God status within his body.

At this moment, everything seemed to have become different.

Within his body, there were three statuses.

True Martial, Will, and Ancient God.

The three statuses each occupied their own position; as long as Chen Yan did not stir up trouble, nothing would happen.

Previously, Chen Yan had not been worried, but now he felt a strong sense of tension.

Indeed, the Ancient God status was constantly exuding a sense of devouring.

This was the inherent characteristic of malice.

Originally, Chen Yan had not paid it any mind.

But now, it was different.

The Ancient God status was continuously familiarizing itself with the Will status and the True Martial status.

One day, the Will status and the True Martial status might, like the rest of his physical martial arts, be forcibly unified by the Ancient God status.

It would not even take long.

He only needed to wait another fifty days for the next minor tide to arrive.

The Ancient God aura from the Evil Realm would be exposed once again, and it would pour endlessly into Chen Yan's Ancient God status.

Chen Yan could currently still maintain his rationality through the Will status.

But what about next time?

Once Chen Yan completely lost his rationality and became a slave to the Ancient God status.

Chen Yan would be beyond saving.

At that time.

The Ancient God path would become a truly invincible existence.

Malice cannot be defeated.

This was a crisis belonging to the human race.

But fortunately, Chen Yan had noticed this point at this moment.

Fortunately, the Dao essence from the Emperor Fruit was still echoing in Chen Yan's mind.

Chen Yan took a deep breath to calm his mind.

He once again sensed the Will status within his body.

Chen Yan's physical body was like a pitch-black abyss, and the golden-red Will status was like an inextinguishable candle flame within that abyss.

The next moment, Chen Yan activated the Will status.

Sss—sss—sss!

A golden-red light suddenly emerged from Chen Yan's body, devouring and extinguishing the malice.

Hum!

Deep within Chen Yan's mind, the Ancient God status shook abruptly.

Boom!

Dense malice surged forth, churning like a living creature.

At times it transformed into thorny chains wrapping around his torso, and at other times it collapsed into a black hole-like vortex, devouring the light.

The activation of the Will status had alerted the Ancient God status.

Even Chen Yan's physical body began to show signs of cracking.

But Chen Yan would not retreat.

After knowing the cause of everything, Chen Yan had to weaken the Ancient God status as much as possible before the next minor tide arrived.

Screech!

A hiss from the Ancient God reverberated from the depths of the sea of malice.

Outside the Wang Ting, Zhuohe Umeng stood calmly, yet suddenly looked toward the depths of the Wang Ting in terror.

As Chen Yan cultivated, the thorn-like crystals on the walls of the Wang Ting grew and shattered periodically, and asphalt-like turbid currents seeped out from the cracked patterns on the ground.

"What happened?"

The woman in the black dress narrowed her eyes, but she did not dare to step into the depths of the Wang Ting.

And inside the Wang Ting.

The dark thorny marks appearing under Chen Yan's skin spread across his entire body.

Finally.

They intertwined on his chest into an eye-shaped totem, with chaotic mist constantly seeping from the pupil.

The Ancient God status was staring at Chen Yan's body.

The next moment.

Sss!

A golden-red blade light slashed and shattered the pupil totem.

The Will status began to clash violently with the Ancient God status.

However, for the moment, the Will status could not defeat the Ancient God status at all.

After all, even if the Destruction Will could devour the Ancient God aura.

The current Ancient God status was condensed from three hundred and thirty-three strands of Ancient God aura.

Within the Will status, there were only fifty-two strands of Destruction Will.

There is no difference in quality, but the difference in quantity is too great.

It even reached the point where Chen Yan's Will Status began to be suppressed by the Ancient God Status.

The Destruction Will actually showed signs of being devoured.

Chen Yan's pupils constricted.

If this continues, not only will the Will Status fail to devour the Ancient God Status, but it will be devoured in return instead.

What to do?

The next moment.

Deep within Chen Yan's mind.

The True Martial Status, condensed from thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three strands of True Martial Life-Death Qi, overflowed with divine radiance.

Chen Yan's pupils surged with swirling chaos.

The next moment.

Boom!

A low rumble resounded throughout Chen Yan's body.

Almost instantly, countless chapped cracks appeared on Chen Yan's face, and pitch-black malicious ash spilled out from the fissures.

The True Martial Status began to directly collide with the Ancient God Status.

The pain produced by such a collision was borne entirely by Chen Yan himself.

The True Martial Path is formed by the union of Qi-Blood and Hardened Body.

Even though both Qi-Blood and Hardened Body can be devoured by the Ancient God Status.

The True Martial Path, however, is the crystallization of the human race's martial arts.

Even if it cannot devour the Ancient God Status, it can still cause it to suffer wounds.

Sure enough, under the impact of the True Martial Status, the Ancient God Status clearly trembled, and its suppression of the Will Status lessened significantly.

This cultivation session was like a sacrificial ritual that blasphemed divinity.

Boom!

Continue the collision!

Layers of malicious armor constantly condensed upon Chen Yan's physical body, only to be shattered by the tremors emanating from within.

Every time a crystalline fragment flaked off, it would explode into thousands of twisted whispers.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Statuses collided incessantly.

Pitch-black malicious blood began to flow from all seven of Chen Yan's orifices.

This was a battle of Statuses that seemed to have no end.

At the same time.

Intense tremors constantly emanated from within the Wang Ting, spreading continuously.

It made the Ancient God Beasts within a radius of one million miles feel terrified.

They did not know what their god was doing.

They could only quicken their pace to go and pay homage.

Time passed slowly just like that.

One day, two days, three days...

Thirty days later.

Crack!

The Ancient God Status showed signs of fracturing, and strands of Ancient God Qi were rudely knocked away by Chen Yan.

Chen Yan slowly opened his eyes.

The entire Malicious Wang Ting had long since changed its appearance due to his self-inflicted collisions.

Tooth-like protrusions grew from the crystal clusters hanging from the ceiling, and countless pale arms reached out from the cracks in the ground.

It seemed to be a form of retention and coercion by the Ancient God Status, but these things turned to dust the moment they touched the hem of Chen Yan's clothes.

Deep in Chen Yan's mind, wisps of Ancient God Qi drifted out from the Ancient God Status.

Success.

With a thought from Chen Yan, the long-prepared Will Status began to circulate.

Hum!

Scarlet specks of light flickered and emerged deep within Chen Yan's pupils.

The moment for the Will Status had finally arrived.

Devour!

Transform!

Once the Ancient God Status showed signs of decline, it was time for the Will power to exert its strength.

Moreover, this was irreversible.

Because the Will Status would only grow stronger, while the Ancient God Status would grow weaker.

Very soon!

The fifty-third Destruction Will, born!

The fifty-fourth!

Time passed slowly.

Only seventeen days remained until the Small Tide.

The fifty-seventh Will of Destruction, born!

Only ten days remain.

The sixty-fifth Will of Destruction is born.

Midway, the Ancient God status erupted with powerful might, attempting to counter-devour the Will status.

Yet it was heavily wounded once more by the True Martial status.

Time is becoming increasingly urgent.

With only ten days left, when the Minor Tide arrives, more Ancient God auras will come.

But Chen Yan's expression is calm; he does not worry about the dark future that has yet to arrive.

He only cares about this very moment.

He is fighting with his life.

Another three days of time!

Seven days remain until the arrival of the Minor Tide.

The eighty-fifth Will of Destruction, born.

The Will status is becoming increasingly powerful.

And the Ancient God status has already been devoured by about one-tenth.

At the same time.

Above the Sea of Malice.

Two figures stand calmly.

Chen Fazheng, in a white robe with runic flames swirling around his body, looks at the white-haired old man in a black shirt beside him.

"Lord Xia, do you not need my help?"

Lord Xia glances at Chen Fazheng indifferently:

"You may go worry about your own affairs."

Chen Fazheng lowers his eyes and says to Lord Xia:

"The Minor Tide is coming; although he cannot become a true Ancient God, the more Ancient God auras he attracts, the greater the threat to the human race."

After Chen Fazheng finishes this sentence, he appears as if he is growing old and frail, his figure even hunching by half:

"It is just that I do not know why he wants to slaughter those Law Enforcers.

Perhaps he still has a final shred of rationality; I will not go look, Lord Xia, please go take a look for me."

After Chen Fazheng finishes speaking, his figure dissipates between heaven and earth.

Lord Xia stands calmly, draped in dark dragon-patterned court robes, his silver hair like snow draped over his shoulders.

His withered fingertips twist a jade thumb ring, his entire being filled with a stern, awe-inspiring dignity, fully revealing composure and majesty.

"Chen Yan..."

Lord Xia murmurs:

"I give you only seven days of time."

Time passes slowly.

The time until the Minor Tide grows shorter and shorter.

When only five days remain.

The ninety-fifth Will of Destruction is born.

Four days.

One hundred and three.

The speed at which the Will status devours is becoming faster and faster.

Three days.

One hundred and twenty Wills of Destruction.

Two days.

One hundred and thirty-nine Wills of Destruction.

The final day.

Wisps of Will radiance render Chen Yan's figure as if he were a god.

Chen Yan's withered face recovers a bit of youthfulness, turning into the appearance of a middle-aged man.

The Will status grows continuously.

The one hundred and fortieth.

One hundred and forty-fifth.

One hundred and fifty-fifth.

Until a certain moment.

One hundred and sixty-nine Wills of Destruction condense into an even more powerful Will status.

And nearly one-third of the Ancient God status has been devoured by Chen Yan.

The next moment.

Boom—!

The Sea of Malice begins to churn, the heaven-tilting tide having traveled a million miles to arrive.

At the same time.

Throughout the entire Evil Realm, streaks of hidden Ancient God auras were revealed.

The Minor Tide had already arrived.

Chen Yan stood up.

He felt the Ancient God status constantly pulsing and excited.

Even though the Ancient God status had been weakened quite a bit by this moment, it still contained 212 Ancient God auras within, slightly stronger than the Will status.

Chen Yan sat down cross-legged.

He waited for more and more Ancient God auras to arrive.

He had already reached his own limit.
