Chapter 960: Desperate Siege, All Paths of Survival Sealed

The memory came to an abrupt halt.

"Chen Yuan."

Chen Yan frowned; originally, he had intended to let Xia Hanzhou ascend directly to draw out Chen Yuan.

But now, it seemed that would not work.

Since Lord Wuhen was a clone of Chen Yuan, the Dao Child contention was nearing its end, and Chen Yuan would surely come to the Evil Realm to interfere in the Dao Child contention.

If Xia Hanzhou acted first, it would instead cause Chen Yuan to fight in the outside world before entering the Evil Realm.

It was not to say that Chen Yuan would win the battle in the outside world.

After all, the Chen Yuan of the outside world was about to face.

Li Zhiyi, wielding the Xia Lord Sword.

Zhang Huizhi, wearing the Ninth-Order Simulation Core Battle Armor.

Lu Xunyang, who was currently merging with the main body of the Sun of Xia.

The Yu Lord and the power of the entire Yu Province.

And the Lord of Elements.

Furthermore, if Xia Hanzhou successfully ascended, that would be another Ninth-Order entity.

The greatest hidden trump card was Zhao Zhugui, who had never made a move and had not yet awakened the Dao of Will.

This was what the Chen Lord was about to face.

And what the Chen Lord possessed was a routed Five-Clan Alliance.

With heavy casualties and a quality far inferior to the Eighth-Order elders of the Five Clans from before.

A single Pool Lord.

One Un-Omen Void Sacrifice and one Primordial Chaos.

It could be said.

Chen Yan had set a death trap for the Chen Lord in the outside world.

A grand scheme that the Chen Lord could almost certainly not break, a situation of certain death.

In the entire Chen Lord camp, the only one who could truly fight was the Chen Lord himself.

But Chen Yan always acted with caution.

Since he was going to fight, he would lower Chen Yuan's chances of winning to the absolute minimum.

Just as the Dao Child contention in the Evil Realm reached its final moments.

In the outside world, Xia Hanzhou would ascend, forcing the Chen Lord to act.

By then, the pressure from both the outside world and the Evil Realm would arrive simultaneously.

Even if the Chen Lord had prepared extensively, there would be no way to turn the tide.

This was the true death trap belonging to the Chen Lord.

Chen Yan sighed.

The Chen Lord was the greatest enemy of his life.

It could even be said that the Chen Lord was the one who had shaped Chen Yan.

At the same time, the Chen Lord was also Chen Yan's enemy.

After the surprise attack on Ji Province, the Chen Lord had not killed Chen Yan, but instead reshaped his physical body and explained the truth of the human world to him.

The relationship between Chen Yan and the Chen Lord had, in fact, already quietly changed.

Like enemies, yet like friends, and even more like a master and a disciple.

Furthermore, the Chen Lord's clone, Lord Wuhen, had once helped Chen Yan.

The Chen Lord was the most complex person Chen Yan had ever met.

He was also the most patient and the coldest.

It was just that only one of them, Chen Yan or the Chen Lord, was destined to survive.

If they were in any other world, the Chen Lord and Chen Yan might have been master and friend to each other.

But in this world, Chen Yan and the Chen Lord had each blocked the other's path of the Dao.

Perhaps, in the Chen Lord's heart.

If Chen Yan were to let him go, the Chen Lord would be dissatisfied.

"Chen Yuan, you spared me in the past; can you handle today's death trap?"

Chen Yan murmured.

In the past, he was like a chess piece.

Today, the Chen Lord was the piece in his hand.

He would force the Chen Lord into a desperate situation step by step, and devour everything the Chen Lord had left, bit by bit.

This was the greatest respect Chen Yan could show the Chen Lord.

He took a deep breath.

Chen Yan held his breath and focused, beginning to swallow the status energy brought by the one hundred Realm Fruits.

However, this time Chen Yan did not let the status energy manifest, but instead had his True Martial status devour it directly.

By now, Chen Yan's understanding of his own strength had become extremely blurred.

But if compared to before.

Having ascended to the Ninth-Order and devoured the Ancient God status, Chen Yan was capable of fighting thirty of his former selves.

Or even crushing them.

Now, he was absorbing another million Realm Fruits.

The True Martial status was stronger than ever before.

Chen Yan could perhaps defeat fifty of his former selves.

And at that time, Chen Yan was already the fifth strongest of the human race.

Perhaps, the current Chen Yan already possessed the strength to battle an Ancient God.

If he could not defeat Bai E, he could at least suppress Fanni.

The ranking of the fifty strongest humans by 【Unity】 no longer held any meaning for Chen Yan.

But this was not the end.

The end was the Mother God, was Jilie.

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes.

The only way out was to fuse all of his own martial paths.

Chen Yan had already walked this path.

After all, Qi-blood and tempering were fused by Chen Yan to form the even stronger True Martial.

Everything required the Emperor Fruit.

Time passed slowly.

Thirty days later in the Evil Realm.

Hum!

It resonated like the sound of the Great Void.

Brilliant golden light occupied Chen Yan's vision.

The Emperor Fruit had ripened!

The fruit skin was plump and surging with golden light, like a galaxy pouring out to dye the universe.

Amidst the ten thousand paths of golden radiance, profound Dao patterns circulated, as if the ultimate truths of heaven and earth had condensed into substance, permeating with the golden light and striking the rules.

Now, only one hundred and fifty days remained until the final deadline.

And in the outside world, only the final fifteen days remained.

Chen Yan did not swallow the Emperor Fruit immediately; instead, he flicked a finger, tearing through space.

The pitch-black void revealed a bright light, exposing the clear blue seawater and bright sunshine that belonged only to the outside world.

With a light flick of his finger, Chen Yan broke the membrane between the Evil Realm and the outside world.

Zhang Huizhi, wearing pitch-black battle armor, walked into the Evil Realm and floated before Chen Yan.

At the same time, within the Gray Mist World created by 【Unity】, Zhang Huizhi's figure disappeared.

Chen Yan grabbed with one hand, and a terrifying roar instantly erupted within Zhang Huizhi's body.

The eight god-level elements of wind, ice, thunder, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth were extracted by Chen Yan from Zhang Huizhi's body and fused into his own.

Subsequently, Zhang Huizhi left and returned to the outside world.

Within the Gray Mist World created by 【Unity】, Zhang Huizhi's seat dropped from tenth to sixteenth, on the same level as Li Zhiyi.

Chen Yan felt no discomfort after accepting the eight god-level elements.

Unity was the strongest path.

The Element Lord once told Zhang Huizhi that if the eight god-level elements could be perfectly unified, they would become the strongest Chaos.

But what Chen Yan wanted was not just the unification of elements.

The next moment.

Chen Yan plucked the Emperor Fruit, and at the same time, the 【Break】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit was plucked by Chen Yan.

Boom!

Endless roars erupted between heaven and earth!

Billions of clear rays of light carried profound truths as they overflowed, Dao patterns intertwined like silver ribbons, and celestial sounds pierced the ears.

One hundred Emperor Fruits hung around Chen Yan, their skins gilded and colorful, surrounded by rosy clouds, the Emperor's might resonating with the truth!

One hundred Emperor Fruits!

It was also one hundred, but the overall quality was more than a hundred times that of the last time.

After all, the last time the 【Break】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit was used, it was on a single broken Emperor Fruit.

And this time, it was one hundred ripe Emperor Fruits.

At the same time.

Screech!

A miserable, shrill cry resounded throughout the entire Evil Realm, and the endless Sea of Malice began to surge instantly.

Chen Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.

He could feel a depletion.

A depletion of power.

It was as if a great deal of the energy contained within the entire Sea of Malice had been drained.

The next moment, Chen Yan's feeling was confirmed.

Chen Yan could not see it, but Zhang Huizhi and Li Zhiyi could.

Within the Gray Mist World created by 【Unity】.

The second seat, which had never changed in ten thousand years, began to flicker at this moment.

Finally, the second and third seats swapped positions.

Chen Yan's eyes trembled slightly; the second seat was Fanni, a genuine Ancient God.

Now, Fanni had actually dropped to third!

This is absolutely the first time in human history that the human race has surpassed the Ancient Gods.

But it is not because the human race is strong, but because the Ancient Gods have weakened.

This is inseparable from the hundredfold critical hit dealt to the Emperor Fruit by the 【Break】 character-shattered Saint Fruit.

Perhaps.

Chen Yan's body trembled slightly.

The source of all the energy within the Saint-Breaking Fruit is the Ancient Gods!

Correct.

It must be the Ancient Gods.

After all, the Saint-Breaking Tree originates from Bai E, and the Saint-Breaking Tree of the Evil Realm grows specifically upon the physical body of Fanni.

This point is indeed reasonable.

After all, energy cannot appear out of thin air.

It is just that only Chen Yan knows this point.

Nowadays, the strongest in the human world are all filled with astonishment in their hearts.

Many people thought of the Xia Lord.

"The Xia Lord, it is still him, the number one person of the human race since ancient times."

"Sure enough, he is doing some things that we do not know about."

"What exactly does he want to do? Could it be that he has already found a way to defeat the Ancient Gods?"

Sounds of shock, astonishment, and complexity rang out across the outside world and the Evil Realm.

Only the Xia Lord was the most puzzled.

Because he himself had not become stronger; he knew it was Fanni who had weakened.

Why would Fanni weaken?

Even if someone were devouring Fanni, in the Gray Fog World created by 【Unity】, no one's seat had suddenly surged.

"Could it be that Bai E devoured a portion of Fanni's energy?"

The Xia Lord only guessed this one reason.

Otherwise, who else could it be?

At the same time.

Chen Yan pointed a finger out.

Boom, boom, boom!

One hundred Emperor Fruits suddenly exploded, and the gilded rosy light surged like a raging tide!

Hum, hum, hum!

Truth was ringing, and the Dao was trembling.

This is the number one fortuitous encounter, unprecedented and unrepeatable.

If the Master of Arrays saw this scene, he would definitely want to die.

The other party guarded it for fifty thousand years, only for a single Emperor Fruit.

And here with Chen Yan, there are one hundred.

The value is five million years of Chen Fazhen's!

The next moment.

Thousands of golden lights condensed into a brilliant torrent, carrying the ultimate truths of heaven and earth and the origin of the Martial Dao, surging wildly into Chen Yan's body.

In an instant.

Chen Yan's eyes widened, erupting with intense light.

The airflow around his body surged, his robes fluttered, and his entire body was soaked in golden radiance.

It was as if ten thousand laws were merging into one within his body, and his divinity and the origin of the Martial Dao were resonating completely.

His thinking speed was infinitely elevated.

Every secret belonging to the Martial Dao was perceived by Chen Yan at this moment!

Powerful!

As if immersed in a pool of strengthening golden liquid, Chen Yan was becoming stronger with every passing moment.

His physical body and wisdom were both surging.

Hum!

His will and status vibrated, evolving ten thousand profound methods, accommodating the True Martial Dao!

Even the three auxiliary Martial Daos of Arrays, True Intent, and Elements no longer had absolute boundaries.

They were all Martial Dao, all truth, and could be unified!

The rule barriers between Martial Dao and Martial Dao were being rudely torn open by Chen Yan.

At this moment, Chen Yan was doing a magnificent deed worthy of being called the pinnacle of eternity.

Chen Yan closed his eyes, and at this moment, he directly severed the connection with the three newborn bodies of Li Zhiyi.

He could not be disturbed.

He could not allow any negligence.

At this moment, Chen Yan seemed to be able to see through the entire world and the entire span of eternity.

Everything before him transformed into the purest Martial Dao truth.

And he was the collector and reshaper of truth.
