CapĂtulo 1407: Chapter 686: The Chaos of the Human World Begins with Me, Chen Yuan!
âDaoist Ling Xu, what future reward did Chen Yuan promise you?â
âOur Shushan will become the National Religion.â
âHaha, isnât that a coincidence? Itâs the same for the Taixu Palace.â
Ling Xu: ââŠâ
Tianxu: ââŠâ
âIt seems his ambition is indeed vast!â
Daoist Ling Xu sighed, feeling a bit uncomfortable, but it was no longer the time to dwell on these things; they were already on this ship.
They could only hope that the future treatment would be better.
Because a formidable being ranked fourth on the Heavenly List, who also possessed immense fame, no doubt had the potential to unite the world in the future.
All the Jianghu martial artists present were silent, but in their hearts, it felt like gigantic waves were surging.
The Marquis of Martial Peace, Chen Yuan, was him,
The Divine Envoy of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau was him,
He who resigned from his official position was him,
He who gained fame was him,
Damn it, the awe-inspiring Asura Demon Lord was still him!
A solemn expression flashed in Dongfang Shengâs eyes, a thoughtful look crossed the face of the Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, Feng Jiuge, and the ancestor of the Gu Family felt sheer terror in his heart.
He had always wanted to kill Chen Yuan, but because his official rank kept rising, and with the impending chaos in the realm, the Gu Family wanted a share of the spoils and hadnât taken action.
If they had acted, what would the result be?
The Gu Family would face extinction!
He would die without a complete corpse!
The City Lord of Martial Emperor City, Ye Xiangnan, found his gaze growing deeper for the first time.
His master once said that this man should not be killed, for harboring enmity and not eradicating it could lead to the downfall of Martial Emperor Cityâsomething he previously dismissed as mere babble from his master.
Now, he believed it!
Others might think Chen Yuan had always had formidable cultivation, merely suppressing it, which could explain his easily advancing cultivation like eating or drinking.
But he wouldnât.
Because the master of Martial Emperor City would always secretly observe when the Ascension Battle commenced, and with his insight, he couldnât have missed Chen Yuanâs hidden prowess.
In other words, he really had steadily advanced to his current level within just a few years.
The Ascension Battle seemed to have happened not too long ago.
Perhaps there were other secrets involved, but one could not deny Chen Yuanâs unparalleled talent through the ages!
Undoubtedly, he had the potential to compare with the once-invincible Martial God, Grand Ancestor of the Chu.
While everyone outwardly showed shock, their hearts stirred turbulently; within those tens of thousands of Forbidden Army soldiers, one Black Armored Army soldier felt the same, and he was Xiang Qianqiu!
At this moment, his expression was extremely grim!
He prided himself on having everything under control, thinking everyone, including his own son, was within his chessboard, eluding him not. He planned to finally settle their grievances after todayâs great battle.
But, he had miscalculated.
Xiang Qianqiu wondered if what he once considered a perfect scheme, all the things he assumed, had long been exposed to Chen Yuanâs eyes.
When Chen Yuan looked at him, did he think⊠perhaps he was the true fool?
A miscalculation!!!
Compared to everyone else, Jingtai was the most shaken; he didnât care about Chen Yuan, regardless of whether his cultivation talent was unparalleled or hailed as a transcendental existence.
With his own abilities, he never stood on stage.
It was just when he exposed his true form that his anger surged, yet he maintained a sliver of clarity, asking who his true identity was.
The answer came casually in a question, revealing an earth-shattering truth.
Asura Demon Lord!
The being who, during a great upheaval in the Capital, made him feel terrified with just a glance turned out to be the Chen Yuan he could control.
He was in the open, watching all of Jingtaiâs tactics.
Damned! Damned! Damned!!!
He thought of many things, many, many things.
Perhaps he thought that not sending a great army to Liangzhou was a brilliant move, which allowed Chen Yuan to become renowned in the Central Plains.
In the Capital, despite any retreat, he was appointed to the South.
Utilizing the Courtâs protection, he integrated Shuzhou within a few short months.
He knew all along that he was the No-Life Ancestor but waited to reveal it at this focal moment to pin him down entirely.
What a strategy!
Chen Yuan didnât anticipate that revealing his identity would lead those present to such wild imaginings; indeed⊠interesting.
The terrifying Demon Flame enveloped the sky, with Chen Yuanâs momentum rising steadily.
The Moluo didnât possess him, so he wasnât the complete Asura Demon Lord, but his own strength had already reached within the top ten of the Heavenly List, so it didnât seem ill-fitting for him.
Everyone could only be shocked by his high status and deep strategies.
âTraitor!â
Jingtaiâs eyes were still bloodshot, and his murderous intent deepened:
âI esteemed you so highly, entrusted you with important tasks, and gave you fame, yet you infiltrated the Court with hidden agendas, and cast the dirty water of the No-Life Sect upon me.
All for your selfish interests, truly⊠damned!â
âSelfish interests?â Chen Yuan laughed again, staring at Jingtai, speaking word by word:
âI havenât finished; I am the Asura Demon Lord of the Taoist Divine Palace and also the direct descendant of the former Chu Chen Family. Everything Iâve done in this life is merely for the restoration of Chu from Jinâs ruin.
Wolfish ambition, hahaha⊠who could bear such a name before your Sima Family?â
Revealing his identity with the Taoist Divine Palace would cause resentment, tarnishing his loyal and patriotic reputation, but didnât he foresee this? The identity of a Chen Family descendant was his backup.
The Xiang Familyâs name would have been better, but he didnât want it.
The Chen Family had been kind to him, so⊠he would bear the name Chen!
This revelation stirred another commotion; no one expected Chen Yuan to have such an identity, and now it made sense.
Revenge, the restoration of Chu from Jinâs ruin!
This was a righteous cause.
Xiang Qianqiuâs face became even gloomier; his son, a Xiang Family descendant, should die as a Xiang Family member rather than a direct line of the Chen Family.
Though the previous dynasty perished, its influence still lingered.
He wanted to seize the momentum.
Yet, despite the stir, it was slightly less earth-shattering than the earlier revelation of the True Monarch Asura.
And Chen Yuan didnât give those below time to react further.
He glanced below, staring directly at Jingtai, and said solemnly:
âThe chaos in the human world starts from me, Chen Yuan!
Peace to all under heaven ends with me, Chen Yuan!â
âFellow Daoists, if not now, when?!â
An act; done!
Now, the main event begins.
Kill Jingtai, slaughter all the elite in the Court present, kill all the martial arts experts present, slaughter all the Sima Family members on site, and then,
it will truly be chaos under heaven!
Chen Yuan let out a low shout, stepping forward was Jiang He, countless Sword Qi swirling around, looking calmly at Li Kuangxiu, he said solemnly:
âOur grudge has also reached its time to end!â
Li Kuangxiuâs pupils narrowed deeply; of course, he recognized Jiang He, sensing the powerful aura around him, glancing at Li Hongshuang, and then at the Emperor above, he spoke in a solemn voice:
âJiang He, cease your actions, and I will betroth Hongshuang to you, waiting for the pacification under heaven, and then, I will cut off my own arms, how about that?â
Compared to a trivial concubine, he believed the Emperor valued a Yang God True Monarch more.
Jiang He glanced at Li Hongshuang, pulled a mask from his sleeve to place on his face, and said indifferently:
âJiang He, Daoist of the Heavenly Sword from the Taoist Divine Palace, requests⊠father-in-law to meet his end!â
âChu Changfeng, Daoist of the Underworld Prison from the Taoist Divine PalaceâŠâ
âYang Huatian, Daoist of the Evil Ghost from the Taoist Divine PalaceâŠâ
âDaoist of the Evergreen from the Taoist Divine PalaceâŠ.â
âFor the peace of Central Plains for thousands of generations, eradicate Jin traitors, restore Chu from Jin!â
The martial artists of Jianghu moved instantly; compared to before, the momentum this time was even greater.
The battle was about to begin!
Taking down the Sima Familyâs elite, everyone grabs the world!
âHahahaâŠ.â
When the surging Samadhi True Fire rolled toward Jingtai, preparing to annihilate him, he nevertheless laughed aloud, madness unhidden, pointing a finger to the Nine Skies, speaking softly:
âItâs comingâŠ.â
What is coming?
Everyone present raised their heads to look, only to see, above endless void, tribulation thunder rolled forth, its pressure dominating the skies!
ââââ
A twist makes it more interesting, doesnât itâŠ.
Likely to resemble the protagonistâs father in being a villain, it has to be intriguingâŠ.
This chapter might feel a bit redundant, but to say it honestly, I find it rather interesting myself.
