Chapter 984: Mother Goddess, Invincible

And so.

Jizhou launched a surprise attack on Tiezhou of the Great Xia.

The great war of the mortal realm began.

Tiezhou was rapidly swallowed by Jizhou.

Resources from the three provinces of Chen, Chi, and Lu were continuously poured into the Jizhou military treasury.

In less than a month.

Jizhou had fought its way to Xiaoyang.

The older generation of the Xia clan royalty panicked completely and went to invite Lu Xunyang, who had already been in seclusion.

They appointed him as the Great General of the Crusade against Ji, to march south and punish Ji!

"Lu Xunyang is too strong; the Lord of Ji is simply no match for him!"

"The Lord of Lu has also taken action, fighting alongside the Lord of Ji against Lu Xunyang, yet they suffered a crushing defeat!"

"Among the Eighth Rank, no one can be a match for Lu Xunyang!"

"The Xia clan is preparing a general-bestowing ceremony for Lu Xunyang; he is to become a Divine General!"

"It is over; recognized by the ten provinces, Lu Xunyang is the greatest Divine General in history!"

"Why is the Great Xia like this now, that a Lu Xunyang would appear!"

"Jizhou has lost!"

"Lu Xunyang is going to wipe out Jizhou all the way!"

"Jizhou is finished!"

Message after message arrived.

Chen Yuan cast his gaze over, and Ji Ling had already retreated to the Jizhou royal court.

Meanwhile, the Xunyang faction, under the leadership of Lu Xunyang, was like an unstoppable army.

Chen Yuan took action, blocking Lu Xunyang's path.

"Let us fight within my universe." Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back.

"That is exactly my intention!" Lu Xunyang was young and vigorous, his voice extremely overbearing.

However, very quickly.

Lu Xunyang met with a crushing defeat.

"Lu Xunyang, you are quite good, but if you want to kill me, you are still lacking a bit."

Chen Yuan spat out fresh blood, his physical body tattered, yet he was in much better shape than Lu Xunyang.

Opposite him, Lu Xunyang was in an even more wretched state, his eyes staring fixedly at Chen Yuan.

"Chen Sheng, everyone in the world has underestimated you."

Lu Xunyang laughed out loud:

"Retreat!"

Chen Yuan, however, called out to stop Lu Xunyang:

"That Immortal Body of yours is quite marvelous; it gives me the feeling of a new martial Dao. Who taught it to you?"

Lu Xunyang frowned, did not reply, and left directly.

Chen Yuan fell into deep thought, his eyes gradually widening.

And so, the War of Xia and Ji ended.

The Great Xia won.

Lu Xunyang became the guardian deity of the Great Xia, revered by hundreds of millions of living beings.

The momentum of the five clans was suppressed again and again by Lu Xunyang, lower than it had ever been.

Yet Lu Xunyang knew that he had lost.

To defeat Chen Yuan, one must become a Ninth Rank.

Time passed slowly.

"My Lord, the Xia clan has decided that Xia Yuan shall inherit the throne."

A subordinate reported, their brow furrowed:

"Xia Yuan is Lu Xunyang's adjutant; once Xia Yuan ascends the throne, there will be no one left to stop Lu Xunyang."

Chen Yuan nodded:

"I am aware."

That day, the designated ruler Xia Yuan advanced to the Eighth Rank.

Chen Yuan took action, causing Xia Yuan's advancement to fail, his soul shattered.

Although, in the end, Lu Xunyang collected the broken divine soul and reshaped it.

But by then, the Xia clan had no other choice.

The ruler Xia Qi ascended the throne.

That young ruler was young and frail, unable to bear the Imperial Calamity.

But Xia Qi's talent made Lu Xunyang marvel.

Xia Qi could not die; as long as Xia Qi lived, the Xia clan could endure.

Yet the Imperial Calamity of the Xia clan was a curse that could not be removed.

What was to be done?

Perhaps they could only go to the Forbidden Land of the Ancient Gods.

Finally, after struggling countless times.

Lu Xunyang set off, entering the Ancient God Forbidden Land!

This was a matter that left the world puzzled and shocked.

But the people of the Xia Clan knew that Lu Xunyang had done so out of necessity.

Within Chen Prefecture, Chen Yuan laughed:

"Has he finally set off?"

"If you cannot even defeat the Supreme Ancient God Beast, how can you defeat the Ancient Gods?"

"I can feel that the Immortal Body is a rule, a brand-new rule."

Time passed slowly.

Chen Yuan was disappointed.

Lu Xunyang could not leave the Ancient God Forbidden Land.

Chen Yuan was somewhat pessimistic.

"Even a person as extraordinary as Lu Xunyang cannot resist the malice?"

"Hahahaha."

"So what is the point of you being so crazy, when you cannot even defeat the Supreme Ancient God Beast."

His gaze shifted to Chen Changyuan.

He no longer paid attention to Lu Xunyang.

Yet, gradually.

A name appeared in his ears.

"The Yunmeng Chen Clan, yes, the Yunmeng Chen Clan, called Chen Yan, that kid has some talent."

"Talent... I can only say it's average; this person acts too coldly and bloodily, he might just be another Xia Lord."

"Him? He can also become a Xia Lord? He is just a madman whose brain is clouded by violence."

"What, that Chen Yan actually became the top of the college entrance examination!"

"Chen Changyuan and the Aristocratic Family Alliance were destroyed because of Chen Yan!"

When Chen Yuan first noticed Chen Yan.

Boom, boom, boom!

Pillars of blood-red light erupted from within the Great Xia.

Chen Yan became the youngest Divine General in the history of Great Xia!

Fast!

Too fast.

"It's a pity there is no time left."

Chen Yuan shook his head and stopped paying attention.

Yet he did not expect Chen Yan to appear on Wanxiang Island.

The secret of Wanxiang Island back then might have already been discovered by Chen Yan.

"Hahaha, interesting, but you are too young; you cannot stop me."

Chen Yuan did not believe a young person could change anything.

Thus, the struggle of the five clans.

Lu Xunyang came out of the mountains, Chen Yan returned, and launched a surprise attack on Ji Prefecture.

Chen Yuan was shocked.

He did not expect Chen Yan to be able to reach this point.

"But you are still too young."

Chen Yuan descended upon Ji Prefecture, killed Chen Yan with one sword, and severed all hope belonging to Great Xia.

Yet in a place where no one noticed, Chen Yuan used 【Dao Slash】 to resurrect Chen Yan.

"If you can survive, perhaps you will truly gain a sliver of a chance to defeat me and change the human race."

He laughed:

"If you lose, you will come back to assist me and complete all my arrangements for me."

He revealed his true heart to someone for the first time.

He did not want this young man who created the True Martial Dao to die just like that.

But the young man refused and entered the Evil Realm alone.

Chen Yuan's eyes were dim as he slowly shook his head.

Let Chen Yan live on like this.

This era does not belong to Chen Yan.

At this moment.

Chen Yuan's consciousness fell, falling continuously.

Everything belonging to him was disappearing rapidly.

"Can I be considered successful?"

Chen Yuan murmured:

"The moment that Mother God appeared, it made me feel that the human race could never defeat the Ancient Gods..."

Chen Yuan's voice was faint:

"Even if it is Chen Yan, it is impossible...

That was only a wisp of Her consciousness."

Chen Yuan's consciousness gave a miserable laugh.

The desolation of a lifetime flowed through the depths of his soul.

With a simple stroke, the consciousness of the Mother God reversed the life and death of the Ninth Rank, allowing an Ancient God to reappear in the human world.

Such means.

How is the human race to stop the Mother God?

"In the end, it was all a loss."

"Hahahaha!"

Chen Yuan laughed miserably:

"Ultimately, it was a failure."

Chen Yuan thought as much, and finally chose peace.

Just as he thought he was about to vanish like this.

A patch of light suddenly appeared.

He was sitting cross-legged right there.

As steady as a deep pool and as towering as a mountain!

Around his body, formless Martial Dao rules emerged, like interwoven silver threads, like the flowing of a galaxy, profound and mysterious to the extreme.

It was as if he encompassed all the origins of Martial Dao in the world, transforming into a collective entity of rules.

Master Chen was stunned.

That face was not the red eyes and red hair of Li Zhiyi, nor the sinister strangeness of Zhang Huizhi.

He sat quietly with lowered eyes, yet his entire being was suffused with a pressure that looked down upon all living things.

That was the original appearance of Chen Yan.

Immediately, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Master Chen.

"Chen Yan?"
