684: Chapter 684 It's Not the Will of Heaven at All

Lin Fan's brows furrowed slightly.

What kind of nonsense is this Chen Yi spouting?

Does he have some sort of plan?

Just then, countless battle reports flooded into his consciousness.

Those ancient Prodigies, God Emperor powerhouses, and ancient god generals resurrected by the Will of the Heavenly Dao—every single one of them had been suppressed!

The Master of Zhenyuan was killed in action, the Endless Overlord was killed in action, the Feathered Fairy was killed in action, Klein was killed in action, Cameron was killed in action, and Chauvin was killed in action—all battle lines were collapsing, and all his pawns were being wiped out.

Lin Fan's pupils constricted slightly, but he quickly returned to a calm state.

Those pawns were expendable from the start; it didn't matter if they died.

It was just a bit unexpected that they were suppressed so easily.

Chen Yi looked at his indifferent expression and laughed: "With the Heavenly Dao as your backing, it is impossible for me to defeat you. Originally, I didn't know how to attack you, but your actions gave me the answer."

"The manifestation of your power is likely those Spirit Beasts living in the Void Realm, right?"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't need to go to such great lengths to capture all the Spirit Beasts!"

"Your goal was to prevent me from figuring it out, to prevent me from cutting off your source of power and leaving you like a duckweed without roots!"

"The reason humans can inherit the power of Spirit Beasts is also because of the rules you set; this is inherently a contradictory rule!"

"You went to such great lengths to establish this rule for the sole purpose of masking your power, masking the fact that your power actually influences the flow of power throughout the entire Universe through the Spirit Beasts!"

Chen Yi naturally didn't come to challenge Lin Fan without any preparation.

He had done extensive research, piecing together the truth about Lin Fan bit by bit from ancient texts in the Void Realm, from An Ran's accounts, and from discussions with The girls!

Since the Will of the Heavenly Dao could resurrect the dead from the past, why would it need to conscript so many soldiers?

And why were they only conscripting those weaklings below the True God Rank?

Which of those ancient Prodigies wasn't stronger than these cannon fodder?

Why go through all this trouble?

As long as one possesses intelligence, any code of conduct must have a fixed logic; there is no such thing as an entity that only performs thankless tasks!

Especially at such a critical moment!

Therefore, Chen Yi could conclude that this was just a smokescreen!

To cover up its true purpose: capturing the Spirit Beasts!

Spirit Beasts are an existence even older than the world malice!

According to the world malice, when Spirit Beasts appeared, the world malice should have appeared as well, rather than appearing separately like this!

And once they appeared, why did it happen to be humans who inherited them?

Even An Ran's power was inherited by Chen Yun!

And not long after Chen Yun inherited the power, she was influenced by the Will of the Heavenly Dao; this was too much of a coincidence!

Capturing the Spirit Beasts could indeed cut off the power source of the Spirit Beast Girls, preventing them from transforming into their Spirit Beast Form.

But if the goal was to stop this power, wouldn't it be easier to just kill all the Spirit Beasts?

Why capture them?

Although the power of the Spirit Beasts themselves is strong, their Rank is actually not high, and they cannot become immediate combat power!

Combining all these circumstances, there is reason to suspect that the Will of the Heavenly Dao has some special intention!

Therefore, everything Chen Yi just said was also to intentionally bluff Lin Fan!

As it turned out, the look of shock on Lin Fan's face for that split second had already betrayed him!

The power of the Spirit Beasts is the root of the Will of the Heavenly Dao!

Lin Fan fell silent.

He neither denied nor admitted it, just standing there quietly.

Then he raised his hand.

"Covering the Sky with One Hand! Hand of Chaos, break!"

He didn't offer any reply, attacking directly.

Instantly, a terrifying giant hand of Chaos formed above his head.

That hand was even larger and more terrifying than the previous Hand of the Universe, blotting out the sky and spanning the Void Realm!

The surface of the giant hand shimmered with the light of Chaos; it was not spiritual power, nor magic power, but an even more primitive force—the power of the Origin from when the Universe was first born!

The Laws of the world transformed into countless chains shooting out from the giant hand, sealing space, imprisoning time, and severing Karma!

This move was likely countless times more powerful than the previous "One Sword Opens the Universe"!

"I guessed right!"

Chen Yi didn't take it head-on, retreating sharply: "Darkness of Revelation! Light of the Supreme!"

He directly activated the ultimate moves of Hua Yuetong and Hua Xingtong.

White light and black radiance intertwined and fused before him, forming a special Domain of intertwined light and darkness, standing between him and the giant hand of Chaos.

The giant hand of Chaos slammed down, colliding with the light-dark Domain.

The two forces of Chaos devoured each other frantically in the Void Realm, and everything in their path was completely devoured!

Starlight, dust, air, and even space itself were wiped away—

When the light dissipated, a vacuum region was left in its place!

That was not a vacuum in the ordinary sense of lacking matter, but an absolute vacuum without even a form of existence, a region where truly neither space nor time existed!

It did not belong within the Universe, and the rules of the Heavenly Dao could not reach it.

Chen Yi did not hesitate, taking advantage of the brief gap before this absolute vacuum could be repaired by the rules of the Universe to attack again!

The Seven-Colored Flame Sword condensed in his palm, seven-colored flames flowing along the sword blade, and Sword Intent soared into the sky.

"Boom—"

A terrifying energy shockwave shot out from the sword, piercing through the absolute vacuum and slamming into Lin Fan's body.

A large gash was torn open in his chest, and golden blood gushed out from the wound.

"Pfft—"

Lin Fan spat out a mouthful of golden blood, his face instantly turning pale.

He looked down at the wound on his chest, his eyes full of disbelief.

"How is that possible! You actually managed to injure me?"

"No, this is a region you intentionally created?"

"Damn it, I didn't expect that I would actually be ambushed by you—"

Chen Yi put away the Seven-Colored Flame Sword, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"There's nothing impossible about it! Did you think I would come to find you without making any preparations?"

"If it were before, I really wouldn't have known how to collect all those Spirit Beasts! But you saved me that step!"

"As for the location where those Spirit Beasts are imprisoned, I'm afraid you don't know that I've already been there—it's the Xinglan Sea, right?"

"You thought that by bringing all the Spirit Beasts to the Xinglan Sea to be guarded, you could eliminate all risk factors, but you never imagined that I had actually known about this place for a long time!"

"You have no way of knowing everything about the world, nor can you control everything; you can only use the power of the Spirit Beast Origin to spy on the world!"

"And you are not the Will of the Heavenly Dao at all! You were born in the exact same way as the world malice, except these evil thoughts originated from Lin Fan and just happened to obtain a portion of Lin Fan's power—you are just a world malice!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Fan's face instantly darkened, turning terrifyingly ashen.

Clearly, he had been struck where it hurt!
