Chapter 936: Transcending the God-Level, Who Rules the Rise and Fall!

Between heaven and earth.

Only the hissing sound of malice devouring space remained.

That Fallen Emperor, shrouded in malice, stood between sea and sky like the source of deathly silence, boundless terror slowly spilling out with him at the center.

Heaven and earth trembled, space collapsed inch by inch, and ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers were ground into fine powder as if crushed by an invisible giant hand.

Xuan Yi, Ying, Ruan Qingwu, and Lord Wuhen, the four Dao Children, flew backward like kites with severed strings, fresh blood spraying across the long sky.

Yet there was no sound.

It was as if fallen leaves were shattering and dust was flying.

Their bodies were stained with blood; they looked toward that sphere of malice, despair emerging in their eyes.

Crack, crack, crack!

The sound of rules being slashed to pieces rang out abruptly.

The rule-based connection between the Life-Burning Puppet and Chen Yan snapped inch by inch.

The Life-Burning Puppet, slowly burning in the high heavens, dissipated in an instant.

Hum!

A flash of light appeared behind Chen Yan; Ying's figure flickered, and the long sword in her hand slashed toward Chen Yan's neck once more.

She struck again, even when Chen Yan thought it impossible for her to do so.

The next moment.

Withered fingers like iron pliers clamped onto the ankle of Ying, who had not yet managed to retreat.

"You!"

Ying's pupils shrank sharply; before the long sword in her hand could be swung back, she heard a loud explosion of shattering bone.

Boom!

Chen Yan's whip kick swept across like a falling star; Ying's legs instantly exploded, and her entire body was kicked a thousand miles away like a rag!

Seeing this scene, Xuan Yi's pupils contracted, and just as he was about to fly out.

That terrifying figure shrouded in malice had already arrived before Xuan Yi.

Then, he kicked out with a boom.

Boom!

Half of Xuan Yi's chest instantly collapsed, his ribs and internal organs turned into a rain of blood under the powerful impact, and his broken body crashed through dozens of mountains like tattered cotton!

"Not good, run!"

Ruan Qingwu's eyes trembled as she screamed.

The next moment.

Hiss!

Amidst dancing white hair, that figure in black robes had already appeared beside Ruan Qingwu.

He stood sideways, head hanging low, yet he did not look at Ruan Qingwu.

The next moment!

Swish!

Chen Yan's left hand cut into Ruan Qingwu's cheek like a blade.

Ruan Qingwu could not dodge in time, and half of her face was instantly torn apart.

"Ah!"

A miserable scream rang out; Ruan Qingwu stumbled backward, and the Ten Thousand Flowers Array was swallowed by the black tide of malice before it could even condense.

"Chen Yan!"

She screamed, and a hand—a pitch-black hand—had already grabbed her ruined face.

The slender fingers dug in, triggering a series of cracking bone sounds.

Cracks spread out from Ruan Qingwu's skull, and blood sprayed.

"Ahhhhh!"

Ruan Qingwu shrieked, no longer possessing the elegance and tenderness of the former number one beauty of the Evil Realm.

Chen Yan was going to crush her head directly.

"Chen Yan!"

The firmament suddenly split open with an array pattern spanning ten thousand miles, and Chen Fazheng's angry roar shook the eight wildernesses.

Countless golden chains descended from the void, binding Xuan Yi, Ying, and the others and dragging them into the rift.

Chen Yan lifted his eyes indifferently, only to see Chen Fazheng's figure appear at the array eye, his gaze dark and unfathomable:

"This battle... ends here."

The next moment.

Hum!

Array pattern flames flashed on the bodies of Ruan Qingwu and the others, and they disappeared completely.

Chen Yan stood between the shattered heaven and earth, white hair like snow, his chaotic eyes gazing into the depths of the void.

From there, an aged voice slowly drifted over:

"Chen Yan... are you, in the end, human or an Ancient God?"

Chen Fazheng's voice carried a hint of exhaustion.

He clearly had not expected that several Dao Children surrounding and attacking, using all their means, would still end up like this against Chen Yan.

Is this the power of an Ancient God?

Are Ancient Gods truly invincible?

He now had only one final thought, which was why the Xia Lord did not kill Chen Yan.

It was impossible for the Xia Lord to be unable to kill Chen Yan.

If the Xia Lord did not kill him, it meant that Chen Yan might still be of the human race.

But if Chen Yan were of the human race.

Then what did all that was happening now count for?

Without the status of an Ancient God, how could Chen Yan possibly display such powerful means?

Chen Yan slowly stepped into the void.

As he walked, turbid malice rose into a robe of mist, crystalline fragments peeled from his cracked skin, and the moment they fell, they erupted with maddened whispers.

The next moment, a hoarse voice sounded.

"Chen has come this time for the Emperor Fruit."

As his voice fell, the heavens and earth were silent for a moment.

"You still have your reason?"

Chen Fazheng's astonished voice rang out.

Chen Yan's expression was calm, and as his eyelids drooped, an ominous pressure that made all things tremble overflowed.

"I wonder if the Master of the Array Formation could yield the Emperor Fruit?"

Silence.

Silence once again.

In the Central Divine Soil, Chen Fazheng sat cross-legged above the lake.

His expression changed constantly.

The Emperor Fruit.

Chen Yan had actually come for the Emperor Fruit.

"How can I give it to you? Not to mention your current state, if you cannot control it, you will become a prisoner of malice entirely.

Furthermore, the Emperor Fruit is an important part of my plan, how could I give it to you?"

Chen Fazheng's voice resounded from above.

"Just by relying on those pieces of trash?" Chen Yan narrowed his eyes, standing as steady as a mountain, while the viscous black liquid dripping from his fluttering robes corroded the earth.

Chen Fazheng's tone choked.

Trash?

Among the Dao Children, how could there be trash?

But Chen Yan, who had said this, had just suppressed all the Dao Children by himself a moment ago.

"The strongest Dao Child has not yet been decided." Chen Fazheng's voice was low:

"Moreover, your current power is bestowed by the status of an Ancient God.

You have survived two minor tides; how will you survive the next, which is a major tide?"

Chen Yan turned around, his fluttering sleeves tearing the surrounding light into spiral-shaped ribbons of shadow.

"Since that is the case, I, Chen Yan, shall go and take the Emperor Fruit myself!"

The next moment.

Chen Yan waved one hand.

Boom!

The entire Eighth Refining was trembling crazily, and the barriers between spaces began to shatter, pierced through by malice.

Crack, crack, crack!

Layers of spatial fragments fell down with a rustle.

As Chen Yan stepped inside.

The world was wrapped in silver, with the northern wind swirling in a wild dance of broken snow.

Withered branches were covered in frost like jade hairpins, the earth was covered in ice like a mirror, and frost flowers fell onto Chen Yan's shoulders, only to be completely corroded by his malice.

Ninth Refinement, the pinnacle of the array formation!

Chen Yan gazed into the surroundings, and endless malice instantly surged, rushing toward the surroundings and covering the entire world.

He was searching.

Searching for the existence of the Emperor Fruit.

But, there was none.

"Who told you that the Ninth Refinement is where the Emperor Fruit is located?"

Chen Fazheng's voice sounded with mockery.

Chen Yan frowned, cold light of malice flickering in the depths of his eyes.

He turned around, preparing to leave.

If there was no Emperor Fruit here, then he would go and find the Emperor Fruit himself.

The Emperor Fruit did not belong to Chen Fazheng.

It was condensed by the Saint-Breaking Tree of the Evil Realm.

To find the Emperor Fruit, it would be best to accept the memories of Bai E.

Only in Bai E's memories was the source of all secrets.

Chen Yan had not accepted them until now only because time was too pressing.

"Hahahaha!"

A loud laugh suddenly rang out.

"Since you've come, do you think you can leave?"

Chen Fazheng's laughter rang out.

Above the lake, Chen Fazheng's gaze turned icy:

"Chen Yan, you are young and impetuous, always thinking you can accomplish anything, but what you don't know is that you are playing a game against the Master of Martial Dao!"

He is the Master of Arrays.

Ninth Refinement is naturally the pinnacle of arrays.

Moreover.

This pinnacle of arrays contains the profound mysteries of arrays that he, Chen Fazheng, has studied for tens of thousands of years.

"In the human world, all the powerful experts have their own methods and their own plans to deal with the Ancient Gods.

As it happens, Chen Yan, you are now an Ancient God!"

Chen Fazheng's voice fell.

The next moment.

Crack, crack, crack!

The heavens and earth suddenly darkened, and the nine heavens shattered.

Three ancient divine arrays manifested from the void, traversing the firmament like three blades of heavenly punishment!

The 【Annihilation】 divine array exuded a powerful aura of annihilation, and everything it passed over returned to nothingness.

The 【Force】 divine array surged with red light, condensing a suppressive force of billions of jun.

The 【Defense】 array was dark and black like iron, transforming into an unbreakable, absolute prison barrier.

Three great divine arrays!

Three great divine arrays condensed by Chen Fazheng through his contemplation of blood-Qi and the status of horizontal refining!

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes; was this the trial of the Ninth Refinement?

The next moment.

Under Chen Yan's gaze.

Crack, crack, crack, crack!

The three arrays intertwined, actually forming a triangular killing array above Chen Yan's head that blotted out the sky and sun.

From the eye of the array, powerful beams of light erupted that annihilated all phenomena!

"Three arrays into one."

Chen Yan whispered, his white hair wild and bristling.

At this moment, Chen Yan actually felt an aura surpassing the God-level from these three combined arrays.

Surpassing the God-level?

What was that?

There had never been an array above the God-level in this world.

"Do you see it?" Chen Fazheng's voice exploded like thunder:

"Kid, don't underestimate the powerful experts of the world!

That Xia Master has endless secrets, so why wouldn't I, Chen Fazheng, have them too!

The plan I have calculated for tens of thousands of years is not something any one of you can just destroy or change!"

Fury surged in the depths of Chen Fazheng's eyes.

The outside world, the Evil Realm.

The Xia Master, Xia Zhiyang, and the Chen Master—all these powerful experts of the world were staring at him.

All of them were obstructing him.

Now, another Chen Yan, who was already in a precarious situation himself, had appeared.

But what he had to do was his life's ideal and grand ambition.

"This array can destroy a status!"

A low voice rang out:

"This was originally something meant for you; if you beg for mercy, just leave!"

Hum!

Airwaves in the void surged, and divine light tore through the firmament.

The three arrays combined, erupting with a powerful pressure that made all laws bow and the universe tremble.

At this moment, even Chen Yan had to sigh.

In this vast land, who controls the rise and fall?

"What should an object of this grade be called?" Chen Yan sighed.

Before him, it was as if it were a work of art.

The appearance of the three arrays combined suddenly opened a door for Chen Yan.

That was, there is no limit to the Martial Dao!

Above the God-level, there are even more powerful grades.

Above the Ninth Rank, there should be higher grades.

This is a more magnificent, more brilliant world.

The first to discover such a world was, surprisingly, the Master of Arrays.

At this moment.

Chen Yan actually identified with the Master of Arrays a little, believing that one day in the future, the other party might truly be able to rely on arrays to defeat the Ancient Gods.

The other party is also a singular figure!

Just like the technological martial Dao of the Universe Master, the path of formations also has an endless future.

"The grade, you have felt it too."

Chen Fazheng let out a cold snort:

"What no one in the world could achieve, I have achieved.

The grade's name must naturally be named after me!

From this day forth, above the God Grade, there shall be the Law Grade!

To control the laws of the world and judge the order of the human realm, that is the Law Grade!"

Chen Fazheng's eyes erupted with sharp light:

"Withdraw, after the Great Tide, if you cannot withstand it, I will naturally take action against you!"

The next moment.

Boom!

Viscous malice gushed out from Chen Yan's body, condensing into extremely intricate protective patterns upon Chen Yan.

"Withdraw?" Chen Yan's voice was indifferent.

In an instant, Chen Fazheng's eyes narrowed.

"I also wish to see what the great formation above the God Grade tastes like."
