Chapter 974: Chen Yuan and Wuhen

Li Zhiyi's voice was calm, yet filled with endless power.

It spread crazily, surging into the heart and mind of every person.

"Word Realm, Establishment Realm, Breaking Realm, Severing Realm.

So, the four realms of the Path of Will are your own aspirations!"

The Chen Lord's Dharma Form laughed out loud.

"This was my initial ideal when I first came, and it has never changed."

"Hahahaha!"

The Chen Lord laughed out loud:

"My life, your life, are both in pursuit of everything for oneself!

The lifeblood of the Cloud Dream Chen Clan for generations has been trapped by me!

Your aspirations have been suppressed by me.

The Ancient Gods you dare to face directly, I will not let you face!

The injustice suffered by the people of this world is all brought about by me!"

Chen Yuan's eyes erupted with intense, brilliant light:

"Chen Yan of Green Mountain, I, Chen Yuan, am your fated enemy!

You are perfect because of me!"

The two Dharma Forms, covering the sky and blocking the sun, stood in confrontation, about to unleash their strongest strike.

The next instant.

The Chen Lord slashed down with a sword.

Li Zhiyi held up a great sun with one hand and met it instantly.

Boom!

Blinding light swallowed everything; stars crumbled, and space annihilated inch by inch like fragile glazed glass.

The terrifying shockwave swept across a million miles; countless meteorites and remnant stars turned to dust in the aftermath!

Even the firmament of the mortal world was dyed crimson, the earth trembled, and sea waves surged back toward the heavens!

All mortals prostrated in terror!

The star domain was completely illuminated, as if daylight had suddenly descended upon the eternal night!

The mortal world was silent.

Even the great battle stopped abruptly.

Countless people covered their eyes, their hearts shocked beyond words.

Evil Realm.

An array disk revealed everything happening in the outside world.

Chen Fazheng's expression changed constantly.

"Hahaha, Chen Yan, you actually reached this step!"

Chen Fazheng laughed out loud.

"Chen Yan..."

Xuan Yi breathed with difficulty, his eyes trembling.

He saw the battle in the outside world clearly.

It was unimaginable that Chen Yan not only hadn't died but also possessed such a trump card.

Chen Fazheng waved a hand, and the array disk dispersed.

"It's over. Having lost the blood-Qi avatar, Chen Yuan's true self can no longer struggle."

Chen Fazheng spoke indifferently, waved a hand, and an array disk appeared; strands of strange power surged out from within the array disk.

"What is this?" Xuan Yi asked.

"Traction Array." Chen Fazheng's gaze was deep:

"With this array, one can pull Shadow back to the Evil Realm at any time."

Chen Fazheng never had any intention of letting Shadow go.

The seven Great Dao Children are all indispensable.

Only when the seven Dao Children merge can they become the true 'One'.

At the same time.

In the distant void, Lord Wuhen was pierced through by countless array-formed swords, blood flowing continuously, on the verge of death.

"You had better tell me where the Emperor Fruit is."

Chen Fazheng's voice was cold:

"Otherwise, after you die, I will preserve your soul and make you wish you were dead."

Lord Wuhen hung his head, blood flowing over his jaw:

"Hahaha!"

Lord Wuhen suddenly laughed.

"Hahahaha!"

"What are you laughing at?" Xuan Yi frowned.

Chen Fazheng ignored him and spoke wistfully:

"It should end now."

…………

"It is time to end this."

A low voice suddenly rang out right beside the main body of Master Chen.

While the people of the world were still shocked by the great battle within the universe.

Li Zhiyi had already appeared beside Master Chen.

Now, only the last four or five clones remained by Master Chen's side.

Master Chen did not look at Li Zhiyi, a trace of complexity appearing in his eyes.

Hum!

Xia Zhiyang, Lu Xunyang, Master Yu, and the Master of Elements arrived, surrounding Master Chen in the very center.

"It is time to end this, Chen Yuan." Lu Xunyang spoke heavily:

"The era that belonged to you has passed."

"Chen Yuan, you are indeed worthy of being the third person in eternity." Xia Zhiyang said with a hint of admiration:

"But you chose the wrong path."

Heaven and earth were silent.

Everyone looked at Master Chen.

"Father..." Chen Youqing was covered in blood, one arm already severed, and at this moment, a look of despair appeared in his eyes.

"My Lord!"

"Master Chen!"

"We have lost..."

One heavy voice after another rang out; the eyes of the experts of the Five Clans who had followed Master Chen were blood-red.

There was no point in continuing to fight.

Unless Master Chen could instantly burst forth with that many clones again.

But that was simply impossible.

【Calamity Corpse Thousand Shadow Kill】 had always been an incomplete text.

Simply put, even if one found all the incomplete parts to cultivate, one could at most burst forth with three hundred clones.

Master Chen's momentum was now gone; the defeat of the Five Clans had become a fact.

"Lost..." Chen Yuan sighed deeply, looking at Li Zhiyi:

"I hope you can..."

Boom!

Suddenly!

One of Master Chen's clones self-destructed!

Intense firelight engulfed heaven and earth.

Boom!

The other three Master Chen clones suddenly unleashed 【Dao Slash】, shattering the void.

The figure of Master Chen's main body appeared hundreds of thousands of miles away.

"Chen Yuan!"

Lu Xunyang growled instantly, turning into a stream of light and flying off.

Boom!

Another Master Chen clone self-destructed, blocking Lu Xunyang.

Xia Zhiyang, Master Yu, and the Master of Elements were just about to charge out.

Boom boom!

The last two blood-Qi clones suddenly exploded.

The firelight filling the sky turned into a barrier, obstructing the three of them.

"You cannot escape!"

Xia Zhiyang shouted, throwing a punch.

Boom!

A golden beam of light shot out instantly, slamming into Master Chen's back.

Pfft!

Master Chen spat out blood, yet his eyes were extremely cold as he turned into a stream of light and flew toward where the Forbidden Land of Ancient Gods was located.

"Chaos!"

The Master of Elements shouted, crossing ten fingers, palms facing outward.

Hum!

Endless chaotic elements crashed down upon Master Chen, covering the sky and earth.

But at this moment, Master Chen had no heart for battle, only caring to escape.

Li Zhiyi frowned, watching the back of Master Chen as he continued to flee.

Immediately.

He raised the long saber in his hand.

Clatter!

The long saber shattered, transforming into the Cinder Evil Spear.

Hum hum hum!

As the spear body trembled, the power of endless laws collapsed into the spear tip, as if the weight of the entire void were compressed within it.

"Chen Yuan!"

He let out a low shout, his right arm pulling back like a full bow, and suddenly threw it!

Boom!!!

The long spear pierced through the void, causing the void along its path to collapse entirely, dragging behind it a blood-colored trail of light spanning hundreds of thousands of miles.

Puchi!

The spear tip burst out from Chen Lord's chest, bringing with it a spray of blood mist as brilliant as the stars.

"Chen Yan!"

Chen Lord gritted his teeth and roared, yet he did not stop his pace at all.

Ahead of where Chen Lord was fleeing.

Ying frowned, looking at Ji Chen beside her.

"You calculated this?" Ying's voice was trembling.

Ji Chen shrugged:

"It wasn't me who calculated it; it was seen by the Retrograde Mirror."

A complex look flashed across Ji Chen's eyes:

"It is time for you to strike."

Ying's breathing grew heavy.

She had not expected that in the evolution of history, there would truly be a fleeting moment that allowed her to assassinate Chen Lord.

"Before dying, to kill a human hero and overlord is not bad at all."

Ying murmured, suddenly arching her body like a poised crescent moon, her single hand gripping the sword hilt tight.

"Silent Night..."

Beside her, Ji Chen pressed out with one hand, and strands of profound power of rules flowed into the long sword in Ying's hand.

The next instant.

Hum!

The world plunged into great darkness!

Swish!

A blinding white line streaked across tens of thousands of miles!

Between heaven and earth, the body of Chen Lord, who was still fleeing, suddenly stiffened, and then he crashed into the sea.

A dark shadow appeared, a trail of blood dripping from the blade, and then she sheathed the sword.

Clap!

"Dust-Severing!"

Ying's eyes were cold as she looked at the sea below, where blood was staining the water red.

The aura belonging to Chen Lord had vanished.

Chen Lord, dead!

The human world was solemnly quiet.

Countless people stared blankly at this scene.

"Father!"

Chen Youqing screamed in agony.

"My Lord!"

"A ten-thousand-year foundation, the glory of the Five Clans... all destroyed today!"

Some could not believe it and slammed a palm onto their own foreheads.

Boom!

Blood mist exploded!

"We lost!"

"We lost!"

More warriors of the Five Clans collapsed; some knelt on the ground wailing, others knocked their heads against the earth.

They could not believe that a hero and overlord of an era had died so easily.

Li Zhiyi narrowed his eyes.

Chen Lord's death felt somewhat wrong.

Why did Chen Lord look so weak while fleeing?

Why had Chen Lord's true self never made a move all this time?

Where was it wrong!

Above the firmament.

Although Ying's gaze was cold, her heart was beating violently:

"Ji Chen, I have truly killed Chen Yuan!"

Ying looked at Ji Chen.

But she saw that Ji Chen was bowing respectfully toward Ying.

"You..."

Ying's pupils constricted, looking at Ji Chen in disbelief.

The next moment.

Ying's gaze became gentle:

"I understand, the hot noodle soup is delicious."

The next instant.

Whoosh!

Immortal white formation patterns emerged, binding themselves onto the body of Ying.

"It seems Chen Fazheng does not want me to live..."

Ying murmured aloud.

Hum!

The next instant, the figure of Ying vanished.

Evil Realm.

Ying appeared behind Chen Fazheng.

"It is over."

Chen Fazheng's voice was indifferent:

"It seems you did not fail your mission and truly killed Chen Yuan."

Ying's gaze was icy cold.

Never did Ying expect that the Master of Formations would actually go back on their word.

Chen Fazheng looked toward Xuan Yi:

"You may begin."

Xuan Yi nodded and slowly rose into the air.

The next moment.

Hum!

Streaks of sword light erupted from within Xuan Yi's body!

The color of Xuan Yi's eyes changed in an instant.

Hum!

Sword light likewise erupted from the body of Ying.

This was the sword art of Lord Wuhen.

"Lord Wuhen is dead?"

Xuan Yi exclaimed in surprise, looking behind at Lord Wuhen, who was being pinned and killed by countless formation longswords.

Just at this instant.

The martial Dao memories and cultivation belonging to Lord Wuhen were divided and consumed by Xuan Yi and Ying.

This indicated that Lord Wuhen was already dead.

"Hm?" Chen Fazheng's pupils instantly constricted: "How is this possible!"

Boom!

A chill erupted from Chen Fazheng's body.

Lord Wuhen could not die yet; he had not yet found the Emperor Fruit.

And just as Chen Fazheng prepared to fly toward Lord Wuhen.

Swish.

A longsword suddenly pierced through Chen Fazheng's body.

"You!"

Chen Fazheng turned around abruptly, staring fixedly at Ying.

Yet Ying was still bound by the formation patterns, but the longsword at Ying's waist was operating autonomously, having ambushed Chen Fazheng.

In a split second.

Chen Fazheng's pupils constricted wildly.

Ying was also astonished.

Why would their own longsword suddenly attack Chen Fazheng?

Why?

Could it be that when they assassinated Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan had done something to it?

"Hahahaha!"

Suddenly.

A wild laugh resounded.

Chen Fazheng looked over with trembling eyes.

He saw that Lord Wuhen, who was being pinned and killed by the formation longswords, had raised his head.

His face was covered in blood, his expression ferocious, yet he was laughing loudly.

"Finally..."

Lord Wuhen laughed wantonly:

"Reached this step!"

In a split second.

A cold dread surged into the hearts of Chen Fazheng, Ying, and Xuan Yi.

Only Lord Wuhen continued to laugh:

"Chen Fazheng, did you think it was you who discovered that Lord Wuhen is my, Chen Yuan's, avatar?"

A look of pity appeared in Lord Wuhen's eyes:

"If I, Chen Yuan, did not intentionally expose myself, how else could I assume the identity of Lord Wuhen to seize the Dao Child's opportunity in the Evil Realm!"

"Xia Hanzhou advancing to the Ninth Rank is not important!"

"Chen Prefecture needing the Universe Master to act as the Prefecture Bright is not important!"

Chen Fazheng's pupils contracted wildly as he stared fixedly at Lord Wuhen.

"What is most important to me, Chen Yuan, will always be the ancestral struggle for the Dao Child!"
