Overriding the Heaven

Numerous gazes, no matter where they came from, were focused on Chu Yan at that very instant.    

Chu Yan's gaze fell on Zhao Wuji.    

The flesh on Zhao Wuji's chest was wiggling, as if it was alive.    

After all, it was the body of a true Immortal Realm cultivator.    

Under normal circumstances, even if a person's body was penetrated, such an injury would only take a short while to heal.    

However, at this moment, there were traces of pitch-black veins on the surface of the flesh and blood.    

These veins gave off an aura of endless destruction.    

This was Chu Yan's Great Way of Destruction.    

In the Grand Dao, non-divine abilities could be removed.    

Thus, at this moment, not only was Zhao Wuji unable to recover from his injuries, he had to endure the pain akin to a dull knife slicing through flesh.    

After looking at Zhao Wuji for a while, Chu Yan finally spoke, "If I want to kill you, my plan is nine steps in total."    

"Nine steps?" Zhao Wuji was stunned. Then, his anger turned into a smile. "So you're saying that the Sect Leader of the Heaven's Edge Sect made his move just now was the eighth step of your plan. Now, there's only one step left and you've already killed me?"    

Chu Yan shook his head.    

"Then what do you mean!" Zhao Wuji shouted with a frown on his face.    

"Actually, the order of the eighth and ninth steps can be changed a bit.    

However, sect head, oh, no. To be more precise, it should be the former sect head of the Heaven's Edge Sect who made the first move, so count it as the eighth step. "    

When Chu Yan spoke, his tone was exceptionally calm.    

The more he was like this, the more flustered Zhao Wuji became.    

Zhao Wuji had a feeling that Chu Yan had already considered all possibilities.    

He himself was like an ant trapped in a spider web. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't get rid of Chu Yan.    

However, he was still unwilling to accept this outcome.    

Zhao Wuji's gaze was filled with ruthlessness as he looked at Chu Yan. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Then, what is the ninth step of your plan?"    

"You're scared."    

Zhao Wuji did not get the expected answer. Instead, he got Chu Yan's comment.    

At the very first moment, he wanted to retort.    

However, the words that were about to come out of his mouth were stuck in his throat when he saw Chu Yan's confident gaze.    

Because he was truly afraid.    

The purpose of Zhao Wuji's words was to trick Chu Yan Qing into thinking that he had a trump card.    

If it was in the past, he would absolutely not speak so much to his opponent.    

He had always given direct orders.    

If anyone was unwilling, he or she would be killed on the spot.    

And now that he had said this much, it could only mean that he had met an opponent that was even stronger than himself.    

They even needed to use these little tricks.    

The mental confrontation between the two was only a short conversation. In the blink of an eye, the cultivators that saw this scene from afar were confused.    

Some people felt that something was wrong, but no matter how they put it, they could not put it into words.    

Zhao Wuji looked at the smile on Chu Yan's face.    

A feeling of embarrassment and annoyance rose up in his heart.    

He, a dignified Emperor Taiqing, was actually forced to this extent by someone.    

Before, there was the temptation of the Sect Leader of the Heaven's Edge Sect, but now, a Violet Palace Realm kid had actually said that he'd arranged every step of his to be clear.    

Now, he was only left with one final move, and that was to kill himself.    

This anger instantly turned into a crazed roar: "Chu Yan, I have an undying body! Do you really think you've won!? I still have one last move that can reverse the situation! "    

With a loud roar, Emperor Taiqing's body suddenly caved in.    

It was as if a person had suddenly turned from a tall and strong man into a stooped old man.    

In fact, his life force was fading away like the petals of a flower.    

Upon seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.    

In that instant, they all thought that Zhao Wuji had given up on resisting and decided to understand himself.    

But only Chu Yan's eyes flashed with a sharp glint.    

The number 'eight' in his heart had been replaced by 'nine' at this moment.    

Killing Emperor Taiqing was divided into nine steps.    

He had used all of his power, and had finally forced his foe to use his full power.    

This was the opponent's last trump card.    

As for himself, he was going to use his last trump card!    

Just as everyone was stunned, Zhao Wuji's body, which had already caved in, suddenly swelled up like a piece of cotton soaked in water.    

At the same time, a ray of red light flew out from the void.    

It was Tang Lianxing who was immobilized by the light!    

"It's really Tang Lianxing!" Chu Yan's heart skipped a beat.    

Everything was exactly as he had expected.    

At this time, the other cultivators still didn't understand what was going on.    

However, the withered Emperor Taiqing's body cracked open with a crack.    

Zhao Wuji's head poked out from the hole.    

At this moment, his face looked like that of an old man in his eighties or nineties, filled with wrinkles and ravines.    

However, the way he looked at Chu Yan was as vicious as before.    

"Chu Yan, you can beat me once.    

But even if you use the path of life, you can still beat me a second time!    

Facing me at my peak, can your path of life be maintained?! "    

With this roar, a red light connected Emperor Taiqing's and Tang Lianxing's body.    

A dark red scorpion's light appeared behind Tang Lianxing's body.    

With the appearance of this light, Zhao Wuji seemed to have broken out of his cocoon and become a butterfly.    

His originally haggard face was now covered with wrinkles, and his skin had turned rosy and fair.    

At this moment, his stooped body regained its vitality and became tall and straight.    

At this moment, the aura that Chu Yan had previously crushed him with was like boiling oil, burning and boiling once again!    

This was Emperor Taiqing's last trump card!    

Even if he was irreversibly injured.    

Even if he encountered an enemy that was difficult to deal with.    

However, the enemy only had one life, whereas he had two lives.    

This was also why he made the Northern King take Tang Lianxing away. It was also why he sealed Tang Lianxing's memories. It was also why he kept Tang Lianxing by his side.    

Tang Lianxing's physique could completely restore all the blood aura and life that he had lost with Primordius in an instant!    

In other words, Tang Lianxing's life would be used to restore him to the peak!    

It was obvious that Tang Lianxing was experiencing indescribable pain at this moment.    

After all, even if a person was to be extracted blood or cut open their flesh, it would still be incomparably painful, needless to say, right now, a person's blood energy and life force were being sucked out.    

Not only was there the pain in his body, but there was also the fear and sorrow that came from his soul.    

"Chu Yan, even if your spiritual energy hasn't been consumed, do you think that the emperor of Treasure Nation can withstand my second round of attacks!?"    

The arrogance and domineering attitude from before had returned to Zhao Wuji's eyes.
