"Boom!!!"

The sound of the explosion was like a thick thunderbolt exploding in their ears. A terrifying heatwave swept out, and the people within a radius of more than ten miles instantly felt a violent impact.

They subconsciously shielded their faces.

At the center of the explosion, the void was actually rippled this time, like a stone thrown hard into the water, stirring up a layer of spray.

After the roar, there was deathly silence.

It was as if the entire space was instantly frozen.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The Sumeru Illusion... was shattered.

Shattered!!!

A look of shock appeared in Jingtai's eyes for the first time. Even with his years of composure cultivated on the throne, he couldn't hide the shock in his heart at this moment.

The power of the national destiny, the power of the masses.

He never expected that Chen Yuan would actually break through the Sumeru Illusion, and successfully use the power of the masses to shatter this exotic treasure that carried the national destiny.

In fact, after realizing that the Sumeru Illusion contained part of the national destiny of Dongying (Japan), he had already prepared for Chen Yuan's defeat or even death.

And he was preparing to take action through other means.

But Chen Yuan gave him a big surprise.

He did such a thing!

The Ten Thousand People Umbrella (Wanmin San)...

The first time he met Chen Yuan in the Royal Garden, he felt its strong sense of rejection. He never expected that it could be used by Chen Yuan. Was it a coincidence, or did Chen Yuan have secrets he didn't know?

His eyes narrowed slightly, wondering what he was thinking.

Sima Ke stood there dumbfounded, his mouth open and never closing. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was... it's over.

Not only did they fail to cripple Chen Yuan this time, but they also allowed him to do something so shocking to the world.

Could it be...

Was the gap between them so big?

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the letter that his imperial sister, Princess Pingyang, had sent him not long ago. For the first time, he felt a tinge of regret, having tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to bait it.

Yang Guifei also froze on the spot, staring blankly at this scene.

What flashed through her mind was the scene of Chen Yuan confronting her in Chunhua Palace. His character was indeed extremely stubborn, and he relied on his unyielding will to shatter this mysterious exotic treasure.

"No one in this world can judge me, neither the Dongying (Japanese) dwarfs nor the Buddhist sect!" Princess Pingyang's eyes were filled with radiance as she kept recalling the words Chen Yuan had shouted before.

Strong confidence, a strong unyielding will.

No one in the world can judge him!

What courage!

This is a true man who stands tall and upright, and only such a person can carve out a world for himself.

Even Heaven cannot judge him.

Apart from her, no one else present carefully savored this sentence. She suddenly realized that Chen Yuan's ambition seemed to be great. Could it be that he was not content with being just a minister?

"When autumn comes on September 8th, I'll cover Dongying (Japan) with blades to enjoy the cherry blossoms!"

The focus of the Second Prince, Sima You, was different from that of the Eldest Princess, Pingyang. He loved literature and poetry. Now, Chen Yuan's casually composed verse was simply magnificent.

It was exactly like his character.

Truly a great man!

Zhang Yantong's eyes were burning, filled with strong appreciation in addition to shock. His vision was indeed correct. Not only was Chen Yuan's cultivation improving at a rate far exceeding that of ordinary people.

His strength also exceeded his expectations.

Disposition, courage, comprehension, all were top choices.

This boy has the potential to become a True Monarch!

In the past, he only thought that with Chen Yuan's talent for forming pills with visions, there was a good chance that he would break through the Yang Shen in the future and become a top powerhouse at the True Monarch level.

But now, he dared to be certain.

As long as Chen Yuan didn't fall in the middle, he would definitely become a Yang Shen True Monarch in the future.

And he would be the kind of peerless True Monarch who could enter the top ranks of the Supreme List!

The Huang-ranked Divine Envoy, Wu Tianxi, praised:

"Good boy."

The Tian-ranked Divine Envoy, Xiao Jing, nodded:

"Very good."

This was a rare evaluation from him. Usually, no matter how well you did, he would only say 'not bad'. But today, after witnessing the predicament Chen Yuan encountered today, he was finally moved.

Li Hongshuang's hands under her Daoist robe were clenched tightly. When she saw the jade seal explode, she was finally able to relax. From the moment Chen Yuan entered the Sumeru Illusion, she had been worried.

Worried about Chen Yuan's safety.

Worried about not being able to explain to Jiang He.

Their relationship was very good. Through Chen Yuan, she might be able to reunite with Jiang He.

Of course, she herself also liked this kid who called her 'Sister-in-law', and she didn't mind lending a helping hand if she could.

Guo Peng: "Good! Good! Good!"

He was the first to shout that he didn't want Chen Yuan to retreat, and he was also the first to agree with Chen Yuan's words 'chop it down'. Now, he had finally shattered this mysterious illusion, so wasn't he extremely happy?

The face of Bodhisattva Puxian, which was originally indifferent, now also had a hint of emotion. The fingers holding the Buddhist beads suddenly paused, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Of course, what he said before wasn't entirely true. When the Buddhist sect joined forces with the three major families of Dongying (Japan) to refine the Sumeru Illusion, they did do something to it.

A Bodhisattva injected a trace of Buddhist nature.

And Chen Yuan may have really hated the Buddhist sect in his heart, or he may have been inherently connected to Buddhism. In short, he activated that trace of Buddhist nature and fused it with that wisp of Orochi demon.

Creating a freakish thing.

Finally... he even chopped it down!

For some reason, when Chen Yuan slashed that Buddha's dharma image, he also felt a trance, as if this scene would still happen someday in the future.

The old Guan Master of Qingyun Temple smiled faintly, nodded slightly, and murmured:

"The power of the masses, the national destiny of Dongying (Japan), the Buddhist sect..."

"The karma on this kid is getting bigger and bigger. I don't know if he can continue to grow."

"The world is in chaos, a disaster for the people..."

"Impossible, impossible!"

Ito Itto murmured, unable to believe this scene.

How could Chen Yuan possibly break through the Sumeru Illusion? It contained part of the national destiny of Dongying (Japan)!

And the level he broke through was the most difficult one.

He actually passed.

Not only did he pass, but he also... shattered the Sumeru Illusion.

This was the hundred-year effort of the three major families of Dongying (Japan). Now it was shattered in one fell swoop. He didn't even know how the Ito family should explain to the warriors of Dongying (Japan) after returning.

And the most unacceptable thing was his father, Ito Shinkai.

This time, there were many plans to launch the Sumeru Illusion to challenge the masters of the Central Plains. Everything had been going smoothly before, but it actually failed on Chen Yuan.

He, a Dan realm grandmaster, actually shattered the exotic treasure, the Sumeru Illusion.

Even though he didn't personally feel the power that wrapped around the masses, he still felt a trace of fear. It was really shocking.

The roar lasted for a long time, a full thirty or so breaths.

And during these thirty or so breaths, everyone present had their own thoughts. Some felt that time was passing very slowly, and some felt that time was passing very quickly, like a moment.

Some people recovered from the shock and their minds returned.

They were constantly looking at the void, muttering why Divine Envoy Chen Qing hadn't appeared yet.

Yes, after the explosion, Chen Yuan's figure was also obscured, like a layer of mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

It wasn't until dozens of breaths later, after the effects of the explosion gradually dissipated, that Chen Yuan finally revealed his true form. The clothes on his body were somewhat tattered.

Revealing some strong muscles that shone in the sunlight.

At this moment, he was the center of attention.

All eyes were focused on him, and most of them were admiration, admiring Chen Yuan for doing such a feat and saving the face of the Central Plains warriors.

However, there were also a small number of people who had grudges against Chen Yuan who were upset with him.

They hated why Chen Yuan didn't die in the Sumeru Illusion.

This was normal, after all, some people just couldn't stand seeing others doing well...

"Huff..."

Chen Yuan let out a long breath of turbid air.

This time, it was really dangerous.

Any one of these three levels, if there was even a trace of carelessness, would lead to being trapped in it and completely sinking. It was even more difficult than when he formed his elixir.

If Jingtai hadn't personally spoken, he would never have taken the risk.

Of course, Chen Yuan didn't have no gains at all.

In fact, Ito Shinkai was right about one thing. This Sumeru Illusion was used to temper the heart. Chen Yuan passed through it and gained a lot of benefits, but these benefits were implicit.

They would only gradually appear after his cultivation was high in the future.

The first level was to arouse the deepest desires in Chen Yuan's heart and make him completely sink. He restrained himself, followed his heart, and guarded his beliefs.

The second level was the battle of false bodies. Although this battle was very difficult, it brought him great help. It was definitely a good opponent.

In this level, he understood.

He abandoned distracting thoughts, focused his mind, and completely integrated his mind into his moves and martial arts. From then on, he didn't need to move his mind and body, and he could even multitask.

Every move was like a deer hanging its horns, unpredictable.

And the most important third level brought Chen Yuan even greater help.

This level was the fear in his heart.

Even a trace of fear could gradually amplify, as was the strange demon with eight heads, and so was the golden Buddha who was high above and looked down on the world.

The other party wanted him to retreat.

But he would rather die than retreat.

On the road to the peak of martial arts, it was like sailing against the current. A retreat would undo all previous efforts. His belief was to move forward bravely!

No one, nothing, could make him retreat.

Buddha, demon, emperor, no one could judge him.

Even when facing Heaven, he would still win by half a move!

He was fearless in this life!

Of course, there was also the most important power of the masses. That power was added to his body. At the moment of drawing his sword, Chen Yuan truly experienced a belief of invincibility.

No matter who it was, they would completely submit under this sword.

That was the power of the masses.

It was a pity that these were ultimately rootless duckweeds, or rather, not the power he had cultivated himself. They were all rootless duckweeds that could be possessed and could also be taken away.

So he wasn't attached to them.

He only regarded this as his goal, to possess such terrifying strength in the future.

And the Ten Thousand People Umbrella (Wanmin San).

Chen Yuan looked down at the broken Ten Thousand People Umbrella in his hand and took another deep breath.

This thing was an umbrella woven by the people of Tangshan Prefecture out of gratitude for his kindness, but he had never paid much attention to it, just casually throwing it into the Heavenly Book.

Moreover, he didn't hold it with peace of mind.

Because his starting point was never to make the people live a good life, it was just a casual act. That wasn't his original intention, but today... it was this unremarkable thing that saved him.

It carried the power of the masses for him, but unfortunately, the material was too ordinary, and now most of it was broken.

Staring at this thing, Chen Yuan looked in the direction of Tangshan, Qing Province, and said in a low voice:

"Thank you, everyone."

There wasn't much he could do, just write a letter and send it to Madam Xu, telling her to treat the people well as much as possible. This could be handled by Liu ZhengSong.

Anything more than that would be really difficult.

Many people were staring at him, and besides, he also understood the principle of returning a small favor with great malice. He wouldn't fail to grasp the connection between them.

With a solemn expression, he put away this thing. If it weren't for this thing, he could only rely on the Destiny Altar, which was his greatest reliance.

The reliance that dared to enter the Sumeru Illusion.

He had come all this way, relying on his own efforts, but he couldn't erase the credit of the Destiny Altar.

Under the eyes of everyone, the Ten Thousand People Umbrella directly disappeared.

This time, he didn't hide it, because there was no use in hiding it at this moment. When he took out the Ten Thousand People Umbrella before, he revealed that he had a Mustard Seed Sumeru treasure.

Moreover, after this battle, he had the initial strength to protect the treasure.

Not only the Heavenly Book, but also the Imperial Slaughtering Blade (Huang Tu Dao).

Chen Yuan didn't have to hide it like before. So what if he had it?

As long as others couldn't do anything to you.

Like Jiang He, didn't he possess the Divine Weapon Immortal Slaying Sword (Zhu Xian Jian) when he was a Dan realm cultivator?

So who dared to snatch it?

"Divine Envoy Chen Qing!"

After the silence, there was a sudden shout.

Then, the shouts came like a tide, constantly calling out the three words 'Divine Envoy Chen Qing'.

At this moment, he was the center of the audience.

He saved the face of the Central Plains and fought against the hundred-foot-tall Buddha's dharma image.

In the eyes of those ignorant people, Chen Yuan was a top powerhouse in the world.

His reputation reached an extremely high level.

This was a scene that many people dreamed of.

Moreover, it could be predicted that as long as these people spread the news of today, his reputation would rise again.

He would be famous all over the world!

Looking at the people in front of him, Chen Yuan clasped his fists and bowed deeply.

He had shattered the Sumeru Illusion with the help of these people before.

After bowing, Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly turned to Ito Itto and said lightly:

"Before entering the Sumeru Illusion, I said that after breaking through the Sumeru Illusion, I would cut off your head to celebrate!"

Then he shouted loudly:

"Dongying (Japanese) dwarfs, why don't you come forward and accept your death!"

Such morale-boosting words made countless people excited, and they all shouted in unison:

"Dongying (Japanese) dwarfs, why don't you come forward and accept your death!"

"Dongying (Japanese) dwarfs, why don't you come forward and accept your death!"

"Dongying (Japanese) dwarfs, why don't you come forward and accept your death!"

The sound waves shook the sky. At this moment, the previous depression and frustration of the people in the capital were completely released with these roars. They were the people of the celestial kingdom.

They could call these overseas barbarians dwarfs!

"Itto..."

Ito Shinkai slowly shook his head, signaling him to admit defeat at this moment and not come forward.

Chen Yuan had just broken through three levels and shattered the Sumeru Illusion. His morale and fighting spirit were at their peak. Even though he only had a False Dan cultivation, coupled with his Vajra Indestructible physical cultivation,

His strength was definitely not below him.

This time, it was very dangerous.

Ito Itto shook his head and said after a long silence:

"I am the number one genius of Dongying (Japan). I cannot retreat, I cannot retreat even if I die. Father, I hope you understand."

"You..."

"Father!"

Ito Shinkai let out a sigh of relief, looked at his eldest son's firm gaze, and said in a deep voice:

"Come back alive."

Ito Itto smiled when he heard this and nodded:

"The cherry blossoms in my hometown are about to bloom. You know, I like to see them."

After saying that, he turned around, took a step forward, faced Chen Yuan directly, and said with a solemn expression:

"Chen Yuan, let's fight!"

He hated Chen Yuan very much. It was he who thwarted the long-term plans of the three major families of Dongying (Japan) and shattered the Sumeru Illusion. It was he who killed Yagyu Sotaro. It was also he who looked down on Dongying (Japan).

But...

The other party's strength was worth his respect.

He had barely passed the Sumeru Illusion with the guidance of his elders, but Chen Yuan was different. He had no help at all, and what he encountered when breaking through the levels was the most difficult kind.

Such strength was worthy of admiration.

However, this didn't mean that he would show any mercy. Only by killing this person could he reverse the decline, otherwise, after today, the warriors of Dongying (Japan) would be ridiculed by the warriors of the Central Plains for many years.

This was absolutely intolerable.

"Fight!"

There was no nonsense, no greetings, only a 'fight' word.

And this word was enough to show his attitude.

Ito Itto, he would definitely kill him.

He possessed luck, which had already declared his death. No one could stop it.

Moreover, his previous posture made him very upset. Only by cutting off his head could he dispel the frustration he had encountered in the Sumeru Illusion.

The battle was about to break out.

There was no referee, only killing.

What was bright was the blade of light that was cut out, the howling wind.

The wind and clouds gathered.

Chen Yuan and Ito Itto were on opposite sides, like two meteors colliding fiercely together.

Neither Chen Yuan nor Ito Itto dared to be careless in the slightest.

In any case, Ito Itto was a Heaven Dan level powerhouse. It wasn't difficult for him to resist with his current strength, but it was still difficult to kill him. However, he had just experienced a heart tempering in the Sumeru Illusion.

His mentality was different, and his fighting spirit had been raised to the highest level.

With the blessing of those people, Chen Yuan was exploding with 120 points of strength. With just one exchange, he suppressed the Heaven Dan master to a disadvantage.

And for Ito Itto, Chen Yuan was even more not to be underestimated.

He didn't dare to be careless in dealing with this number one genius of the Central Plains, a powerhouse who had just broken through the Sumeru Illusion. And the strength that the other party showed was also very shocking to him.

False Dan versus Heaven Dan.

From the very beginning, he fell into an absolute disadvantage.

It was simply unimaginable!
