Chen Yi had just switched to the Irritable Constitution, then recalled the finale of the Fourth Simulation.
The image of Li Lingyue fighting desperately against the Blood Moon assassins, the sky dyed red with blood, her dying in Chen Yi’s arms, set his blood boiling.
Most importantly,
back then, the Chen Yi inside and outside the simulation had already promised each other to avenge Li Lingyue!
The enemy was right in front of him today.
It was also the one item he hadn’t gotten in the Fifth Simulation.
How could he not enter Extreme Rage!
Boom!!!
Chen Yi’s single punch sent Yi Chengsheng blasting from ground to sky, tearing through the falling floating city as if punching a hole straight through it!
Because of the Air-Banning Grand Array’s influence, that floating city was already falling!
Divine marks flowed across the city’s surface, brilliant lights flashing, and the hundreds of thousands of residents used those marks to counter the anti-air force, making the city’s descent slower.
Yi Chengsheng, who had been knocked away, was grabbed in midair by a suddenly appearing burning hand and yanked back to the ground, slamming his head into the earth!
Chen Yi leapt forward, holding the Nine Provinces Cauldron and smashing it down on Yi Chengsheng’s head.
“You persecuted human talents! You persecuted Great Dao Immortal Artifacts! You betrayed humanity! You selfishly went insane!!”
Against a Chen Yi whose state was maxed out, Yi Chengsheng had no way to resist.
If not for the divine marks that kept appearing on his body and absorbed most of the damage, he would have collapsed by now.
“Who exactly killed his wife?!!!”
The other four city lords were also locked in one-on-one battles with the Great Demon, Shen Yang, Li Wentian, and Hua Wuyan.
Martial God-level power could easily destabilize the space of this small world.
Spatial fragments, time rifts, and spatial turbulence repeatedly appeared nearby because of the ten Martial Gods clashing.
On the ground, human world martial artists and Ancient Wasteland Survivors clashed in close quarters; Martial Saints and Martial Kings fought with earth-shattering force even inside the small world.
However, the human side’s advantage did not last long.
The first to suffer a setback turned out to be Chen Yi.
Yi Chengsheng realized that Chen Yi, who had just seemed reasonable, had suddenly grown so violent.
He recognized that Chen Yi was using the power of anger.
A few divine marks shot onto Chen Yi, and in an instant his mind calmed.
“What the…”
The Extreme Rage state vanished.
Even the Green Giant trait stopped working!
Chen Yi only wanted to find a quiet place to fish.
His fighting spirit had been greatly weakened.
“What are these so-called ‘divine marks’ anyway?”
Elsewhere, the Great Demon, Li Wentian, and the others were also bewildered by the divine marks.
This kind of technique had never appeared among the people of the human world; even Shen Yang couldn’t understand it, making it impossible to counter or defend against—only to endure as the marks were applied.
If one divine mark failed to work, they tried another, eventually finding one that was effective.
All of them were Martial God-level powerhouses, their defenses and survival techniques countless.
On top of that, the five city lords wore five-colored armors that were no ordinary gear.
They finally managed to stall, using divine marks to turn the tide.
“You fools! You should never have come to my Upper Realm today! Stay outside and play the role of your pathetic human world! Coming here is suicide!!”
Yi Chengsheng slammed on the floating city, causing a shockwave that sent everyone sprawling and made maintaining the divine marks impossible.
The floating city’s fall accelerated back to normal speed.
That wasn’t all. Yi Chengsheng reached out and drew in a giant divine mark made of characters hundreds of meters long, wrapping the whole floating city as if a massive net had captured it.
“Die!!”
Yi Chengsheng accelerated the city’s descent, slamming it down hard onto Chen Yi, who was trapped by the divine marks.
He submerged Chen Yi beneath an entire steel city!
Along with the dozens upon dozens of Ancient Wasteland Survivors inside the city, they were crushed beyond hope in the tremendous impact!
Blood flowed from the ruins of the fallen city, its buildings destroyed, thick smoke billowing up.
Remember, the enemy wasn’t an Alien Race, so the important hundredfold damage reduction from The Most Severe Father to Non-Humans didn’t apply.
If Chen Yi suffered heavy damage now, his life could be at risk.
“Fourth brother!”
Shen Qingshan’s personality gained the upper hand; he struggled free of his opponent and rushed into the rubble, clawing through the debris with his hands to search for Chen Yi.
Hua Wuyan, Li Wentian, the Great Demon, and the Sword Lord all looked over.
Hua Wuyan glared angrily at Yi Chengsheng.
“You sacrifice even your own people’s lives just to win!”
Yi Chengsheng sneered.
“Since when does victory come without cost! Guardian, I never expected you to be so naive!”
Shen Qingshan dug and found only an overturned bronze cauldron.
“Fourth brother?”
“I’m fine.”
Chen Yi lifted the cauldron out and stared at the five city lords with deep eyes.
Yi Chengsheng’s expression betrayed no surprise.
Killing a Martial God isn’t so easy.
This battle would necessarily be a war of attrition, to see who exposed a mortal weakness first.
Coincidentally, Chen Yi thought the same.
Moreover, he already knew these people from the Ancient Wasteland Secret Realm and their shared weakness.
The Civil War God trait tag began to exert power!
In truth, when the fight started, Chen Yi had already scanned the opposing Martial God powerhouses and learned their weaknesses.
But common weaknesses meant little.
If a weakness is something you can deduce, wouldn’t they protect it well themselves?
As for verbal attacks, tearing open old wounds or revealing embarrassing incidents—those mental weak points were useless in front of the thick-skinned Ancient Wasteland Survivors.
However, there was one weakness they all shared.
—Weakness: The divine marks they use require appropriate adjustments to function in different environments.
When the battle erupted quickly, Chen Yi hadn’t yet pondered the meaning of that sentence.
Why was this a weakness?
Just now, while using the Nine Provinces Cauldron to block damage, he suddenly understood.
The divine mark techniques the Ancient Wasteland Survivors learned from the Real Realm must be adjusted when used in different places; they cannot be applied identically.
In the human world, they must conform to human world rules.
In the Demon World, they must conform to Demon World rules.
That raised a question.
If they entered a small world and used divine marks there, wouldn’t they also need to fit the small world’s rules?
They should, otherwise it wouldn’t count as a weakness because Chen Yi couldn’t exploit it.
Whether in the Ancient Wasteland Secret Realm or outside in the human world, Yi Chengsheng and the others could use divine marks normally.
That meant they had researched and adapted them well.
But not in the Cauldron Realm!
According to what Da Chun said earlier, when the Blood Moon began persecuting Great Dao Immortal Artifacts, the Nine Provinces Cauldron sensed the anomaly in time and completed artifact spirit separation before the Blood Moon could touch it.
So the Blood Moon never reached the Cauldron Realm and naturally didn’t know how to adapt divine marks inside it.
“Old Shen! Senior Hu! Great Demon! Senior Li! Send them into the Cauldron Realm!!”
Chen Yi, like a western warlord, lifted the hundred-meter giant cauldron with one hand, opening the passage to the Cauldron Realm, and charged toward Yi Chengsheng.
The five city lords hadn’t yet realized Chen Yi’s intention and merely counterattacked normally.
“You think a Great Dao Immortal Artifact makes you capable of defeating us! Ridiculous!”
Chen Yi offered no lengthy explanation, but Hua Wuyan and the others chose to obey without question, unleashing their signature moves and forcing their respective opponents toward the Cauldron Realm!
