Chapter 1301: Junior Brother, There Was Something Strange About That Man's Immortal Aura
Seeing Yang Yan's palm strike, Lu Chen chuckled. Putting aside that Yang Yan is now merely in the Mortal Immortal Realm, weaker than himself, the power he uses contains an evil trait, which happens to be suppressed by the Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture.
Yang Yan charging directly at him is simply courting death.
Without any hesitation, Lu Chen immediately utilized the Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture. In an instant, countless lamps appeared in the sky above the Desert Sea, and from these lamps emitted a red Immortal Aura.
As the red Immortal Aura came into contact with the Yin Souls released by Yang Yan, those Yin Souls instantly turned into points of light and vanished in the air.
In just a moment, Yang Yan's palm strike was neutralized. Yang Yan, who was just lost in hatred, regained his sanity at that moment.
Seeing that Lu Chen had easily defused his attack, a trace of fear emerged in Yang Yan's heart.
Originally, he thought the cultivation technique he practiced could suppress Lu Chen, and that even if Lu Chen's cultivation was higher, he would still have a fighting chance.
However, Lu Chen could effortlessly fend off his attacks, and at this moment, he could feel a tremendous force of suppression.
The light from those oil lamps in the sky made him feel as if the Immortal Aura within his body was shackled.
Yang Yan, in disbelief, said, "How could this be?"
At this moment, Lu Chen said, "Great General Yang, there seems to be something evil about the power within your body. Could it be that you've joined the Blood Eagle Hall?"
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Yang Yan immediately thought of his experiences over the years. For a moment, his eyes turned blood red, and the evil qi around him intensified.
Feeling the evil qi emitted from Yang Yan, Lu Chen was startled. For some reason, he found the evil qi from Yang Yan somewhat reminiscent of the power of a Chaos Beast.
Lu Chen continued to harness the Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture, and for a moment, the light from the oil lamps over the Desert Sea burst forth, enveloping the entire area they were in with red Immortal Aura.
At this time, Yang Yan took out a pill and directly popped it into his mouth. The next moment, his body began to contort, and countless tentacles sprouted from his physical body.
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Chen was momentarily stunned.
Before Lu Chen could gather his thoughts, he saw Yang Yan swinging massive tentacles towards him. These tentacles emitted a thick evil qi, which vaguely made Lu Chen feel somewhat threatened.
However, just as these tentacles were about to touch Lu Chen, the light from those oil lamps of the Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture converged to form a Red Silk, which instantly surrounded Yang Yan and those tentacles.
The next moment, Lu Chen heard Yang Yan's wailing voice coming from within the Red Silk, while white smoke emanated from the cracks of the Red Silk.
Realizing something was amiss, Lu Chen hastily held back. If he killed Yang Yan now, he wouldn't be able to understand what had just happened. M|V|LEM*PYRisthehomeofthischapter
Moreover, Yang Yan indeed carried the aura of a Chaos Beast on him. He trusted his instincts on this.
Fortunately, Lu Chen withdrew just in time. Although Yang Yan's physical body had been destroyed, his Divine Soul was barely intact.
Lu Chen took a step forward to face Yang Yan.
Witnessing Lu Chen's prowess just now, Yang Yan, now in a Divine Soul state, hurriedly begged for mercy, saying, "My lord, spare my life. I betrayed you only out of desperation back then!"
Lu Chen ignored whatever Yang Yan said and directly used Soul Search on him.
The next moment, an immense stream of memories surged into Lu Chen's mind.
The memories of Yang Yan over the past ten billion years flashed through Lu Chen's mind. However, just as Lu Chen was about to access a particular memory, Yang Yan suddenly let out a painful wail.
"Ahhhhh!"
Lu Chen immediately realized he had triggered a Divine Soul Restriction, and he quickly used Space Teleportation to leave the area.
The next moment, Yang Yan's Divine Soul exploded violently.
Luckily, Lu Chen was quick enough to avoid being affected.
Looking at the puff of white smoke rising from the explosion in the distance, Lu Chen recalled the memories he had just accessed.
After Yang Yan betrayed him, he thought he could gain favor with King Guangren, Lu Jingfu, for this merit. However, to his surprise, Lu Jingfu did not give him any important position and quickly marginalized him.
Later, Yang Yan wanted to ask Lu Jingfu for some cultivation resources promised at the beginning, to break through to the Immortal King Realm, but Lu Jingfu only gave him some Immortal Crystals.
Yang Yan, dissatisfied, had a falling out with Lu Jingfu, who did not accommodate him and used Yang Yan's betrayal of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty as an excuse to send people to hunt him down.
Although Yang Yan escaped multiple assassination attempts, his realm and power declined significantly, and with the drop in realm, his lifespan also sharply decreased.
Over the next ten billion years, to survive, he joined various forces, seeking various ways to extend his lifespan.
Billions of years ago, Yang Yan was already an Immortal Monarch, and his life was nearing its end. He sought cultivation resources from Lu Jingfu, hoping to break through to the Immortal King Realm to extend his life. But after being severely injured by people sent by Lu Jingfu, he had even less time left.
Yet, Yang Yan managed to survive till now by various means of extending his life.
A few hundred years ago, Yang Yan was swept into a secret realm by spatial turbulence, where he discovered a huge coffin, and Yang Yan's memory ended abruptly here. Then, Yang Yan's Divine Soul exploded.
Clearly, the owner of that coffin was not simple, placing a restriction in the depths of Yang Yan's Divine Soul. If anyone attempted Soul Search regarding him, it would trigger the restriction.
Lu Chen thought that Lu Jingfu was indeed stingy, refusing even a bit of cultivation resources to Yang Yan, who had the battle power of an Immortal Monarch.
Lu Chen could understand why Lu Jingfu did so; after all, Yang Yan was a relatively ordinary Immortal Monarch with not-so-great talent, making the possibility of breaking through to an Immortal King quite slim.
Continuing to invest resources would be wasteful if he failed. To help an Immortal Monarch with mediocre talent break through to an Immortal King would require a massive amount of resources.
Plus, Yang Yan was just a traitor. He could betray Chen King and could possibly betray Lu Jingfu. If Lu Jingfu had subordinates with better talent, he would naturally allocate resources for them to aim for the Immortal King Realm instead of giving them to Yang Yan.
However, Yang Yan blamed it all on Chen King.
Lu Chen found it ironic. Yang Yan's betrayal, followed by his own hardships, were pinned as his fault.
Perhaps Yang Yan's mind had been eroded by the evil qi within him.
As Lu Chen was lost in thought, Cao Shiyun and Xiao Xueying approached him. They originally wanted to join the battle earlier, but it ended too quickly, and the evil qi exuded by Yang Yan sent shivers down their spines.
Xiao Xueying said, "Junior Brother, the Immortal Aura within that man was peculiar."
