Overriding the Heaven

After he finished writing today's records, Chu Yan raised his head and looked at the color of the sky.    

    

It was already mid-December. Logically speaking, it should be the coldest months of the year.    

    

The Southern Yuan Kingdom that Chu Yan was originally in, had four distinct seasons throughout the year. The warm spring wind caressed one's face, the hot summer sun scorched the face, the cool autumn sky, and the biting winter wind.    

    

However, the Yunao Kingdom was currently located in the southernmost area. Even during the coldest period of the year, it was much warmer than the autumn days in the Southern Yuan Kingdom.    

    

The most obvious example was that, although it was already winter, all the trees that Chu Yan could see were still green.    

    

Lowering his head to look at the fish pond, he saw that the colourful fish was still floating there quietly, as if it was asleep.    

    

Chu Yan finally understood now why the disciples who accepted this mission would fall into a state of insanity after a period of time.    

    

The reason was simple. The strange fish in the pond hadn't changed at all.    

    

At first, Chu Yan was puzzled as well, but after every careful examination, he did not discover any obvious changes, and he also felt his doubts.    

    

However, Chu Yan was not like the other disciples, who noticed that the strange fish had not changed, and stopped observing it every day. When the time came, he casually wrote a few words on the book.    

    

Since he had accepted the mission, he naturally had to fulfill his responsibilities.    

    

Many people would say, "I'm either not doing anything, but as long as I do it, I'll do it the best." However, only one in ten can actually do it.    

    

Chu Yan did not say such a thing, but once he decided to do something, he would not do it half-heartedly.    

    

"Although it's a little strange, this mission gives me more time to cultivate." After standing by the fish pond and muttering to himself for a moment, Chu Yan turned around and returned to the wooden hut. In the blink of an eye, he had entered the time and space cage.    

    

In the past five days, Chu Yan had already swallowed three spirit stones.    

    

This speed had clearly improved compared to when he first started.    

    

At this moment, he didn't continue to consume spirit stones.    

    

"Of the martial skills I have grasped right now, the most powerful one should be the Seven Stars Windstorm Steps and the Wrath Dragon plate."    

    

The might of the Wind Walk of the Seven Stars increased greatly, and the Wrath of the Dragon Coiling Kill was even passed down from the mysterious Return to the Ruins Tower. Needless to say, those who had tried before were all dead.    

    

Therefore, if I want to make a breakthrough in this ranking competition, I need to grasp an even stronger killing move. Not only do I need to be able to contend with them, I need to be able to crush them.    

    

Furthermore, that Pan Xu is ranked in the top ten of the Spirit Apostle Board. Among the disciples, his prestige is extremely high. Chu Yan muttered to himself.    

    

As for mastering his most powerful killing move, Chu Yan had already made his plans.    

    

His wrist moved, and in his palm, he held the Blood Devouring God Bead that he took out from Mu Xiaodong's heart.    

    

At that time, Mu Xiaodong's heart was already bursting from Chu Yan's chest, but he was still unwilling to forget about the Blood Devouring God Bead, even if he had to risk his life, he would still take it back.    

    

At that time, Chu Yan was certain that this thing was definitely not simple.    

    

As for the Blood Devouring Palm that Mu Xiaodong was using, Chu Yan had a wild guess, maybe he was using this Blood Devouring God Bead to activate the Blood Devouring Palm.    

    

After all, when Mu Xiaodong executed the Blood Devouring Palm, that chest which had swelled up to such a terrifying size, had left an extremely deep impression on Chu Yan.    

    

He studied the Blood Devouring God Bead for a while, then his eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light. He raised his head and swallowed the pearl.    

    

"I heard rumors a long time ago that in this world, there is a method to consume medicinal pills. One does not take them orally, but rather, use a secret technique to force the medicinal pills into one's heart. In this way, the medicinal properties of the melted pill would dissolve in the blood, and the effect would be much better than taking it orally. I think that Mu Xiaodong is using this method to absorb the Blood Devouring God Bead. However, I am much more convenient than him. I do not need to use such a cruel method, because I have a much better Great Art of the Swallowing Whale Spirit! "    

    

With a loud shout, Chu Yan's stomach, immediately exploded with a series of rumbling sounds, and started circulating fiercely.    

    

Chu Yan could clearly feel the Blood Devouring God Bead bumping around in his stomach a few times, and then it started to melt.    

    

In the next moment, the intense pain from the flames burning in his stomach exploded.    

    

This flame came menacingly, and without any warning, it was like an enraged dragon spitting fire. It passed through Chu Yan's stomach, and suddenly entered his internal organs, wanting to burn his entire body.    

    

Caught off guard, Chu Yan immediately rolled onto the ground. In the blink of an eye, his entire body was drenched in sweat.    

    

But he did not faint, in the environment of the Abyss Demon Prison, his willpower had long been tempered to a level that far surpassed ordinary people. Although the intense pain was still ongoing, and was becoming more and more intense, Chu Yan clenched his teeth and slowly crawled up from the ground, sitting cross-legged once again.    

    

After a while, he spat out a few words between his teeth. "It really is …" "So fierce …"    

    

It was fortunate that his body had been tempered and refined to such an extent that his internal organs were even tougher than metal. Otherwise, the terrifying medicinal strength that had exploded out in that instant might have instantly turned his internal organs into mincemeat.    

    

As the intense pain spread throughout his body, Chu Yan clenched his teeth and started to sweat profusely.    

    

He felt as if his body was being roasted over a fire and thrown into a boiling pot of oil. He couldn't die yet, he couldn't even faint if he wanted to, he could only endure this pain.    

    

At this time, Chu Yan finally understood why Mu Xiaodong wanted to use that method to absorb the pill.    

    

This kind of torture was not something a human could endure.    

    

The entire process took about two hours before it stopped.    

    

However, since this was the time spent in the time cage, in reality, it was only forty minutes or so.    

    

As the excruciating pain gradually subsided, Chu Yan exhaled, and his entire body went limp, falling onto the ground.    

    

In a short moment, a humanoid puddle of water formed where he lay.    

    

In Chu Yan's eyes, there was exhaustion that was hard to conceal.    

    

Even after fighting with Shen Wufeng and killing him, Chu Yan had never felt so exhausted before.    

    

But after resting for a moment, Chu Yan crawled back up.    

    

After enduring such a huge amount of pain, he really wanted to know what kind of change this Blood Devouring God Bead had brought him.    

    

Circulating the blood in his body, Chu Yan frowned.    

    

"Although the circulation of Qi and blood is a bit faster than before, there isn't any obvious improvement. Something is wrong here." Chu Yan could not help but ask.    

    

The difference between the cost paid and the return was huge. Chu Yan could not help but reveal a puzzled look.    

    

He carefully recalled the scene of Mu Xiaodong unleashing the Blood Devouring Palm, and suddenly thought of a possibility. Chu Yan took out the octadecyl apparatus level ring, and ruthlessly cut his own arm.
