Chapter 948: Grasping the Rules of Heaven and Earth, My Body Is the Martial Dao

This is power that transcends the ultimate!

Chen Yan clenched his fists, his will and status beginning to devour the shattered aura of the Ancient God.

His face shed its withered age, his brow bones became sharp as if carved by a blade, and his eyes were golden-red like molten suns and cold stars.

His black robes fluttered without wind, and pitch-black secret scripts surged and sank within the billowing fabric.

At this moment.

A strange sensation rose in the depths of Chen Yan's heart.

It was as if he were the rules, as if he were the master of all things.

He grasped the void with one hand, and as his fist edge lightly swept across, the barrier between the Evil Realm and the outside world tore open like silk.

The scene belonging to the outside world appeared before him.

Countless tiny secret scripts drifted around Chen Yan's body.

As he stepped forward, the scripts beneath his feet condensed into a staircase, and with every step he took, lotus-shaped Dao marks bloomed in the void.

Within the gray mist world created by 【Unity】.

Chen Yan's seat lowered once more.

The Fifth Seat!

……

The Tenth Seat!

……

The Twentieth Seat!

The Ancient God status could no longer stop Chen Yan's pace.

As Chen Yan drew closer and closer to the white mist world.

Those endless Martial Dao rules were imprinted ever more deeply into Chen Yan's mind and spirit.

Gradually, that miraculous feeling became more and more distinct.

It was as if.

As if Chen Yan were the rules, the truth, the Great Dao!

At this moment, he truly became the Master of True Martial!

He was the rule of the True Martial Dao, and all Dao essence flowed and radiated with him as the center.

The next moment.

Outside.

Jin Prefecture.

Inside a prosperous courtyard.

Old vines crawled over white walls, and moss covered the stone steps.

Chen Yuhu brought a bowl of stir-fried noodles into the courtyard.

A young girl in a white dress lowered her eyes, twisting fallen blossoms while sitting on a stone chair, seemingly troubled by something.

"Come eat something, Xiaoyu, it's not easy to come back for a visit," Chen Yuhu said.

Chen Yu took the stir-fried noodles and lightly sniffed the steam:

"Dad's cooking is getting better and better."

Chen Yuhu smiled and nodded, but then suddenly thought of something and shook his head slightly.

"Don't worry, Dad, Brother will definitely come back," Chen Yu said softly.

"Mm, your brother will definitely come back," Chen Yuhu laughed out loud:

"I don't need to put on any airs when I go out; everyone is very polite to me when they see me.

How amazing my son is—who in the entire Xia Kingdom doesn't know my son? Hahaha."

Chen Yuhu's face was much older, but at this moment, he was stubbornly beaming with joy:

"I know, your brother has always been here."

As Chen Yuhu spoke, he turned his head away, momentarily speechless.

Chen Yu looked at her father, her eyes filled with a glimmer of expectation and longing:

"Dad, when Brother returns, that will be the day the world is settled."

Chen Yuhu was stunned, then nodded slowly.

But in the very next moment.

With a *snap*.

The bowl in Chen Yu's hand fell to the ground, and the piping hot stir-fried noodles spilled everywhere.

"You child," Chen Yuhu frowned in a hurry.

The next moment.

Boom!

A powerful aura erupted from within Chen Yu's body.

The vibrating True Martial power continuously spilled out, turning into ripples that surged throughout the entire courtyard.

With a *boom*.

Chen Yuhu was directly blown into the living room by a wave of air.

A clattering sound followed.

"This power of mine..." Chen Yu exclaimed.

The majestic True Martial power surged wildly from within Chen Yu's body.

Yet clearly, Chen Yu had never practiced the True Martial Path.

The next moment.

"Dad!" Chen Yu shouted in a hurry.

This power came abruptly, and without control for a moment, it sent Chen Yuhu flying.

Even though Chen Yuhu had always been in Jin Province, surrounded by resources, he was currently only at the Origin Realm.

The next moment.

Chen Yuhu flew over slowly.

Vast True Martial power flowed around his body as well.

At this moment, even Chen Yuhu felt as if he had entered a dream.

"This... what is going on?" Chen Yuhu asked in astonishment.

He had never practiced it, yet at this moment, his True Martial Path had entered the Creation Realm.

And Chen Yu, because she had already practiced the Qi-Blood Path herself.

Her True Martial Path cultivation was now pushing straight toward the Eighth Rank!

Chen Yu parted her red lips slightly and looked at Chen Yuhu:

"Perhaps, this is Big Brother's doing."

Chen Yuhu stood stunned, tears gradually appearing in his eyes:

"The True Martial Path, in this world, only your brother practices it."

He reached out his trembling palm:

"I knew it, your brother has always been here.

And, perhaps he has already become..."

Chen Yuhu's throat choked up, and at this moment, he said those two words with difficulty and joy:

"A god!"

At the same time.

Within Yu Province.

A vast and incomparable True Martial power erupted from within Li Zhiyi and Zhang Huizhi simultaneously.

The power of the True Martial Path naturally originated from Chen Yan.

All living beings with a strong karmic connection to Chen Yan would receive feedback from the Lord of True Martial.

Karma itself was a part of the rules of the Martial Path.

This was the same as the Will Path.

Chen Yuhu ascended to the Creation Realm.

Chen Yu ascended to the Eighth Rank.

At this moment.

Li Zhiyi and Zhang Huizhi were pushing straight toward the peak of the Eighth Rank!

They were a part of Chen Yan.

Their karmic connection with Chen Yan was the strongest.

At this moment.

Inside the gray fog world created by 【Unity】.

Zhang Huizhi saw with his own eyes his seat constantly shifting, arriving at the tenth strongest in the world.

And Li Zhiyi had arrived at the fifteenth in the world.

At the same time.

Tui Province.

Among the fields.

The wind rolled the wheat waves, and two gray-robed, hooded figures stood on the ridge of the field.

Their hoods were pulled very low, obscuring their faces.

"Only the last dozen days remain."

The Ji Lord spoke faintly, looking at Zhao Zhugui beside her:

"And you, you are also nearly prepared."

The hood obscured most of Zhao Zhugui's face, revealing only his tightly pressed jaw.

Zhao Zhugui looked toward the horizon:

"Two hundred days in the Evil Realm, twenty days in the outside world.

This is the final time remaining until the ultimate ending."

"And you are still just an ordinary martial artist."

The Ji Lord spoke faintly, a touch of melancholy appearing in her eyes.

According to what Zhao Zhugui said.

At that time, he would sacrifice himself to activate this 【Eternal Calamity Reversing Blood】 formation buried throughout the entire Great Xia.

This also meant.

The Ji Lord was about to say goodbye to this companion of hers who walked the world.

"Zhao Zhugui, Zhugui, who is it that will return? And who is it that will leave?"

The Ji Lord shook her head.

In her heart, she could never think too much; she only thought about being able to restore the national destiny of her Ji Province.

Glancing at Zhao Zhugui, the Sovereign Ji slowly shook her head.

If Zhao Zhugui was the one destined to fall, she, Ji Zhou Wanling, would remember him.

Yet, in the very next moment.

Boom!

An indescribable, majestic power erupted from within Zhao Zhugui's body, and a mighty wave of Qi tore frantically through the surrounding withered grass and earth in circles.

Boom!

Great mountains collapsed, and trees were snapped asunder.

The Sovereign Ji did not react in time and was sent flying.

Feeling the increasingly powerful force within Zhao Zhugui, the Sovereign Ji's pupils constricted:

"You!"

Her heart was in turmoil; she had always wondered why Zhao Zhugui, a being who was not strong, had become one of the three Sages who slaughtered demons.

Even compared to Zhang Huizhi and Li Zhiyi.

Not many people in the world even knew of Zhao Zhugui.

After all, Zhao Zhugui did not even cultivate.

But at this moment, the Sovereign Ji suddenly realized.

It turned out there was a kind of strength that did not require cultivation.

"This is... Heaven-Bestowed!"

The Sovereign Ji's almond eyes suddenly widened, her red lips slightly parted and forgotten to close:

"This is a direct bestowal of the Martial Dao rules; Zhao Zhugui, you are already the supreme of the human race!"

The advancement of Li Zhiyi and the other two was extremely obvious within the Gray Fog World.

But among the fifty supreme existences in the world.

Those whose true allegiances were unknown were the vast majority.

At this moment.

Evil Realm.

Thick white mist, like congealed milk, locked Chen Yan's vision within a few feet.

As Chen Yan delved deeper, the shadow of a divine tree that blotted out the sky and sun gradually appeared within the white mist.

The trunk was so vast it was beyond imagination, thick enough to swallow an entire city, with not a trace of branches to be seen.

On the ground, every root of the divine tree was as thick as a mountain.

Walking upon these roots, a sense of intimate familiarity washed over him.

It was as if, under the countless calls from the other shore, Chen Yan had finally arrived.

Chen Yan did not fly, but instead walked slowly.

It was as if he were walking through the ten thousand years of deep-seated ailments belonging to the human race.

It seemed as if rows of kneeling figures were prostrating themselves there.

Waiting for his arrival.

Rays of increasingly profound golden light gradually descended.

Above that massive canopy, it was as if a scorching great sun were suspended.

Emperor Fruit!

Chen Yan carried his hands behind his back and flew toward that scorching great sun.

At the same time.

Within the Gray Fog World created by 【Unity】, Chen Yan's seat was still dropping.

Until it appeared at the position of the fiftieth seat.

The next moment.

Chen Yan completely shook off the gaze of 【Unity】 and completely broke away from the Gray Fog World.

At this moment, Chen Yan's figure had completely vanished from between heaven and earth.

And Chen Yan had already flown to the side of the Emperor Fruit.

The Emperor Fruit, containing endless Dao essence, radiated divine brilliance, shining upon Chen Yan's face.

"Is it still a hundred days until it ripens?"

Chen Yan brushed his hand over the Emperor Fruit, his figure flashed, and he sat on a nearby tree branch.

Waiting for the Emperor Fruit to fully ripen.

At the same time, Chen Yan could absorb all the Realm Fruits he had collected previously.

They were all energy opportunities.

Moreover, at this moment, his will status was still devouring the aura of the Ancient Gods.

Chen Yan's Will Path was also about to reach its final step.

The next moment.

A figure in white appeared beside Chen Yan.

Chen Fazheng.

Chen Fazheng stared at the Emperor Fruit, then looked around.

Chen Yan looked at the other party, seeing their gaze look over, yet it quickly shifted away without the slightest bit of lingering.

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes.

Could Chen Fazheng not see him?

Or could it be that within Chen Fazheng's field of vision, one can actually only see the Evil Realm Saint-Breaking Tree and the Empire?

And cannot see the white mist at all.

At this moment, Chen Yan was already like a god.

With a single glance, countless rules intertwined in the void, manifesting truth before Chen Yan.

The next moment, Chen Yan's brows lifted slightly.

So that was it.

This surrounding white mist only acted upon Chen Yan.

Outsiders could not even see the existence of the white mist at all, not even Chen Fazheng and the Xia Lord.

The white mist could even shield the perception of the Mother God, let alone Chen Fazheng.

In other words.

Even if Chen Yan were right in front of Chen Fazheng at this moment.

Chen Fazheng would still be unable to see Chen Yan at all.

At this moment, after Chen Fazheng had examined the Imperial Fruit, his expression turned ugly.

"Could he be dead?"

He murmured aloud, a complex look appearing in his eyes:

"This calamity does not belong to him, why did he have to get involved?

Why?"
