Chapter 12784 It's not your turn to save me!
The two left the valley and met Xindan, who was waiting outside.
Upon seeing the two, Xin Dan sensed the secret of heaven and was immediately stunned.
She had heard a terrifying wolf howl coming from the valley earlier, and felt a great sense of foreboding. When she saw Ye Chen and the other person come out, she saw through the secrets of heaven and knew that the Split Wolf had broken the seal and even possessed Ye Chen. She was so shocked that her mind went blank.
"you……"
"How...how could this happen?"
Overwhelmed with shock, Xin Dan even opened her eyes, revealing her dull and murky pupils. Then, realizing her mistake, she closed her eyes again.
The Holy Lord of Candlelight gave a wry smile and said, "Clan Chief Xindan, disaster has struck."
Xin Dan remained silent, then floated forward and took Ye Chen from the hands of the Holy Lord of Candlelight. As she supported Ye Chen, she sensed three extremely terrifying auras within his body.
One is an abyss.
The other one is the Yang chapter of "Yin Yang Divine Contract".
The last one is the Split Wolf!
It wasn't a projection or a clone, but the complete Split Wolf itself, curled up in Ye Chen's dantian.
"Your situation is very bad."
Xin Dan gently stroked Ye Chen's chest, her expression somber.
She naturally didn't want to see Ye Chen get into trouble, because Ye Chen controlled the Mansu Path and might bring her an eternal dream in the future.
But now, Ye Chen is possessed by the Split Wolf, which is undoubtedly very dangerous.
In fact, the power of the Yang chapter can suppress the Split Wolf.
However, Ye Chen was also burdened by the abyss, and the Yang Chapter sank into the abyss, making it impossible to use it to suppress that ferocious god.
Ye Chen's situation is naturally not optimistic; he could be possessed by the Split Wolf at any time.
Even if Ye Chen resealed the Split Wolf, he had suffered too much pain, and it would be extremely difficult for him to fully recover.
However, we can't worry about the future now; the most important thing is to reseal the Split Wolf.
The Holy Lord of Candlelight said, "Clan Chief Xindan, now that things have come to this, the only option is to go to the Throat of Abyss Forging and ask the Remnant Sun for help."
“The Throat of Abyss Forging is a sacred place for forging; perhaps it can suppress the Split Wolf once again.”
Xin Dan fell silent. With her keen insight, she vaguely sensed an air of conspiracy.
The Holy Lord of Candlelight's actions are probably not well-intentioned. Besides wanting to suppress the Split Wolves, he probably also wants to take advantage of Ye Chen's weakness to seize Ye Chen's divine authority.
"Lord of Reincarnation, can you use Mansu to reverse all of this?"
Xin Dan really didn't want Ye Chen to go to the throat of the abyss, and only hoped that he could use Man Su to reverse the situation.
Ye Chen said helplessly, "I'm afraid it won't work... Man Su is not capable of reversing such a terrifying cause and effect."
Xin Dan fell silent, pondered for a while, and finally sighed:
"Then let's try our luck at the Throat of Abyss Forging."
She knew that the Holy Lord of Candlelight was plotting something, and that Ye Chen's trip would likely be dangerous.
But at this critical juncture, looking across the entire Great Sun Glazed Pure Land, the only force capable of suppressing and sealing the Split Wolf is the Throat of Abyss Forging.
She estimated that Ye Chen might die, but in order to reseal the Split Wolf, she couldn't care less about that.
In Xin Dan's heart, although she had a strong liking for Ye Chen, she was not willing to give up everything; her own interests were the most important.
In order to reseal the Split Wolf, she would rather Ye Chen die at the hands of the Remnant Sun.
“I will avenge you, Lord of Reincarnation.”
"If the setting sun kills you, I will kill him."
"When I take control of the Mansu path, I will resurrect you in my dreams."
Xin Dan silently pondered, feeling a desolate sadness. Of course, she didn't want to see Ye Chen die, but if there was really no other way, she could only send Ye Chen to his death.
All she could do was seek revenge for Ye Chen afterward.
After a pause, Xin Dan took out a palm-sized talisman.
The talisman was pure white, shimmering with a faint morning light.
"This is the Dawn Runestone, keep it."
Xin Dan placed the talisman into Ye Chen's stiff palm and said softly:
"Remember this, Lord of Reincarnation."
"Never forget that there is still light and hope in this world."
"One day, we will all be able to escape the darkness and reunite in the radiant light of Mansu."
If there was a way to have the best of both worlds, she certainly didn't want to watch Ye Chen die, so she gave Ye Chen a talisman.
Holding the talisman, Ye Chen felt the dawn light gathering within it, and he also felt a warm sense of hope. His Dao heart was much calmer, and he said, "Thank you."
Xin Dan said, "You can't take the Yang chapter with you."
"I will allow you to take it now, but the many high-ranking members of the Great Sun Pure Land will absolutely not allow it."
"Well, when you go to the Throat of Abyss Forging, give the Yang Chapter as your reward to Canyang and ask him to suppress the Split Wolf."
She thought that if Ye Chen were willing to offer up the Yang Chapter, it might satisfy Can Yang's appetite and prevent him from being suppressed and killed.
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat. He had finally obtained the Yang Chapter, and naturally he was reluctant to let it go.
But at this moment, he also knew very well that in his current state, it was nothing short of a pipe dream to try and take the Yang chapter away.
"It seems we'll have to ask Senior Ren to step in."
Ye Chen thought to himself that with the Dawn Rune Stone, his injuries had been relieved somewhat, and his thoughts had become clearer.
At this moment, he knew that he could not possibly take Yang Pian away by himself alone.
But if he were to be called Ren Feifan, there would still be a sliver of hope.
"Okay, I promise you."
Ye Chen did not reveal his true thoughts, only saying that he promised Xin Dan that he would hand over the Yang Chapter.
He could also see that Xin Dan already had the idea of sacrificing him to suppress the Split Wolves, and was not wholeheartedly protecting him.
However, Ye Chen did not blame Xin Dan.
This is only natural. Xin Dan has already given enough. She even allowed Ye Chen to take the Yang chapter away, but the other higher-ups did not allow it.
Ye Chen wanted to escape and survive, but he didn't rely on Xin Dan; he was more inclined to rely on Ren Feifan.
Xin Dan then instructed, "Take my Dawn Stone to Can Yang. He will know that it is my token and will not dare to bully you easily."
This talisman is both to give Ye Chen hope and to provide him with a protective charm, signifying that Ye Chen is the person Xin Dan has chosen.
Other forces, out of respect for her, would not easily harm Ye Chen.
But Xin Dan wasn't sure if Can Yang would give her face, so she could only do her best.
Ye Chen put away the talisman and thanked him again.
Then, the Holy Lord of Candlelight stepped forward, helped Ye Chen up, bid farewell to Xin Dan, and turned to fly towards the direction of the Throat of Abyss Forging.
Ye Chen's physical body had long since lost its vitality, yet he still had to endure the pain of the laws of the Splitting Wolf and the wounds of the Heavenly Emperor's Intercepting Sword as he flew through the void. When the wind blew, it felt like knives cutting into his body.
Even though he was already a corpse, he still had to endure extremely sharp pain.
"Senior Ren, I have obtained the Yang Chapter, but something has happened. Please come to the Throat of Abyss Forging."
During the flight, Ye Chen secretly communicated with Ren Feifan through his soul.
He didn't have much fighting power at the moment, and if he wanted to survive, he needed Ren Feifan's help.
After flying for a while, Ye Chen and the Holy Lord of Candlelight finally arrived at the Throat of Abyss Forging once again.
The guards at the mountain gate were shocked to see the Holy Master of Candlelight supporting Ye Chen, who was covered in wounds and exuded a strange aura. They dared not ask any questions and quickly informed Canyang.
Before long, Canyang slowly walked out. His gaze fell on Ye Chen, and when he saw the wound on Ye Chen's chest and the murderous aura around him, his eyes showed great surprise.
The secrets of heaven are terrifying; even the setting sun didn't need to deliberately seek them out to know the relevant matters.
He could clearly smell the blood emanating from Ye Chen; it was the scent of the Split Wolf.
The Holy Lord of Candlelight said, "Brother Candlelight, something terrible has happened."
"The Lord of Reincarnation is possessed by the Split Wolf; only you can suppress the Split Wolf."
"Please put aside your personal grudges and take action for the greater good."
The Holy Lord of Candlelight looked solemnly at the setting sun, and then exchanged a glance with it.
The setting sun understood that the Holy Lord of Candlelight had finally made up his mind to devour Ye Chen's power.
Ye Chen has been corrupted by the Split Wolf. Even if he manages to suppress the Split Wolf by chance, he will most likely fall into madness and become a monster who only knows how to kill, as he is eroded by the ferocity.
Rather than leaving this hidden danger, it would be better to refine him and seize his divine powers such as reincarnation, time and space, death, and the blazing sun, thus making the best use of him.
Nourished by the Dawn Runestone, Ye Chen regained some of his mental sharpness. Even though he was deeply wounded, he vaguely sensed the greed in the eyes of the Remnant Sun and the tacit understanding between the Holy Lord of Candlelight.
He was wary, but didn't say anything. At this moment, he also needed the power of the setting sun to suppress the Split Wolf.
At that moment, Ye Chen took out the Dawn Runestone, displayed it before the setting sun, and said:
"It was Chief Xindan of the Great Sun Clan who guided me here, saying that Senior Canyang had the ability to suppress the Split Wolves."
“After the matter is accomplished, I am willing to hand over the Yang chapter, and Chief Xindan has agreed to this.”
Ye Chen said he was willing to hand over the Yang Chapter because he knew that Can Yang was powerless to take it back.
He was burdened by the abyss, which was why he barely managed to incorporate the Yang chapter.
The Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star and the Tower of Radiance on his body have already resonated with the Yang Chapter. The Yang Chapter has essentially recognized him as its master. Even if he hands it over to someone else, the Yang Chapter will eventually return to him.
He said this as a temporary measure, because he was afraid that Canyang would not be willing to take action.
Ye Chen displayed the Dawn Runestone to protect himself by using Xin Dan's name.
Although Ye Chen knew that with Canyang's temperament, he would never be frightened by a small talisman, it could still make him somewhat wary.
Upon seeing the talisman in Ye Chen's hand, Can Yang's heart skipped a beat. Hearing the Yang chapter, another thought struck him, and he pondered:
“If I kill this scoundrel, Chief Xindan will surely blame me.”
"But if I don't kill him, I can't vent the hatred in my heart!"
"Kill him, and the Yang chapter will be mine."
"At that time, I will use the Yang Chapter to suppress the Split Wolf, which will ensure that nothing goes wrong. I bear the heavy responsibility of suppressing that evil god, so I think Chief Xindan will not dare to pursue the matter too much."
Thinking this, Canyang said to Ye Chen:
"Lord of Reincarnation, since Chief Xindan guided you here, for the safety of the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land, I will put aside past grievances and suppress the Splitting Wolf for you first."
"Come with me into my forging furnace."
"Only by forging your body with the fire of the Abyss Throat can you force out and suppress the Split Wolf."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen knew in his heart that once he entered the forging furnace, he would be like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
But he thought to himself that with his own Great Dao Origin, he should be able to hold out for some time until Ren Feifan arrived.
Ye Chen nodded and said, "In that case, I'll leave it to Senior Canyang."
With the setting sun leading the way, it quickly brought Ye Chen and the Holy Lord of Candlelight to the forging platform on the mountainside of the Throat of Abyss Forging.
On the forging platform stood a huge bronze forging furnace, its body engraved with ancient runes, and its mouth spewing forth blazing flames at extremely high temperatures.
With a slap of his hand, Canyang opened the furnace, and a wave of scorching heat rushed out, burning Ye Chen's body.
Ye Chen felt a burning pain from the high temperature, which aggravated his wounds, causing sharp and intense pain to come in waves, making him feel like he was in unbearable agony.
"Go in." The setting sun looked at Ye Chen.
"Hmm." Ye Chen endured the pain and immediately flew into the forging furnace. As soon as he entered, the blazing forging fire instantly enveloped him.
This flame is a pure yang forging fire, carrying the domineering power to temper the soul and forge the Great Dao.
Ye Chen's body, which had already lost its vitality and was covered in wounds, was instantly sizzled by the raging fire.
The wounds from the Law of the Splitting Wolf sent sharp, intense pain through him, compounded by the burning sensation of the forging fire. The two kinds of pain intertwined, tormenting Ye Chen's soul relentlessly.
Even though Ye Chen's physical body was dead, the pain at his very core made him let out a low groan.
Outside the forge, the setting sun, its eyes cold, said:
"Lord of Reincarnation, just bear with it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he formed a hand seal and chanted incantations. The forging fire inside the furnace instantly surged several times over, its color changing from crimson to golden white, and the temperature climbed to its maximum.
Ye Chen could clearly feel that the Split Wolf, which was curled up deep in his dantian, was also getting restless under the extreme heat, but it was forcibly enduring it.
Clearly, the Split Wolf was well aware that if it went out, it would likely be suppressed.
Ye Chen endured even more excruciating burning pain, and he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
This high-temperature firing continued for about half an hour, but it still couldn't force the Split Wolf out.
Seeing this, a hint of impatience flashed in Canyang's eyes. He raised his hand and summoned a giant hammer that was entirely black and covered with runes of the blazing sun.
"Looks like we'll have to resort to some drastic measures."
"Split Wolf, come out here!"
With a loud shout, Canyang beckoned Ye Chen out of the forging furnace and placed him on the anvil beside him.
Then, Canyang swung his giant hammer and smashed it down hard on Ye Chen!
boom--!
The giant hammer slammed heavily onto Ye Chen's chest, and Ye Chen's eyes widened instantly as he felt a tremendous, dull pain.
The already ferocious law-related wound on his body was instantly torn open, and black baleful energy and golden yang flames surged out together.
Bang--!!
The setting sun swung its hammer again, treating Ye Chen like a piece of ore, mercilessly pounding him.
As Ye Chen endured the blows of the giant hammer, he vaguely recalled the legendary Progenitor of the Sun.
Back then, the Primordial Sun Ancestor suffered the same fate, being battered and shattered by the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother.
The setting sun hammered down again and again, treating Ye Chen as nothing more than a monster, its only aim being to force the Splitting Wolf out.
The Split Wolf, enduring the terrifying beating, could no longer bear it, and wisps of malevolent energy surged out from Ye Chen's body.
Seeing this scene, the Holy Lord of Candlelight outside the forging platform estimated that it wouldn't be long before the Splitting Wolf would be forced out.
Ye Chen, subjected to such intense hammering, would likely be hammered to death.
It's not just the physical body that will perish, but also the soul and the very origin of the Great Dao; they will all be smashed to pieces.
Ye Chen felt the origin of the Great Dao violently trembling; this setting sun was clearly aiming to crush him to death.
He was waiting, waiting for Ren Feifan to arrive.
If he really couldn't wait any longer, Ye Chen would have no choice but to fight back with his life on the line.
The voice of the Splitting Wolf also roared within Ye Chen's soul:
"Are you just lying there waiting to die, you scoundrel?"
"Rather than be hammered to death, it's better to fight to the death!"
"Rise up! Borrow my power and destroy all of this!"
His voice carried a strong seductive quality. When Ye Chen heard it, a hidden violent and savage feeling arose in his heart, a desire to destroy everything in front of him.
Just as Ye Chen's Dao Heart was in turmoil, two figures flew in from afar and appeared above the Throat of Abyss Forging.
One aura was vast and violent, carrying endless destructive intent; the other was gentle and mellow, yet contained an inviolable majesty.
It was Ren Feifan and the Great Sun Venerable!
"Senior Ren!"
Ye Chen called out in his heart, a surge of joy washing over him.
Ren Feifan's gaze swept down and he saw Ye Chen, who was covered in wounds and barely breathing, on the anvil. His pupils shrank and a surge of rage instantly erupted from the bottom of his heart.
"Setting Sun! Stop!"
The angry shouts shook the heavens and the earth, causing the mountain of the Abyss Throat to tremble violently, with rocks falling in a flurry.
The Great Sun Venerable flashed and landed in front of the Candlelight Saint Lord, his expression icy, his tone full of questioning: "Junior Brother, why did you collude with the Remnant Sun to harm the Lord of Reincarnation?"
Suppressed by the aura of the Great Sun Venerable, the Holy Lord of Candlelight trembled, his face turned ashen, and his lips quivered as he called out, "Senior Brother..." but he had nothing more to say.
He never expected that Ren Feifan and the Great Sun Venerable would descend upon this place.
The setting sun stopped wielding its giant hammer, slowly turned around, and upon seeing Ren Feifan and the other person, his face showed no panic, but rather a cold composure. He spoke calmly:
"Lord Ren, Venerable Great Sun, what is your intention in trespassing into the Throat of Abyss Forging?"
"The Lord of Reincarnation has been possessed by the Split Wolf. I am not harming him, but merely using magic to force the Split Wolf to appear."
"Shut up!"
Ren Feifan roared, and no weapons appeared around him, but a sky full of destructive sword energy burst forth from his heart, forming a terrifying sword energy storm.
The sword energy was incredibly sharp, carrying the power to shatter everything, and it slashed straight towards the setting sun.
"My people are not for you to 'save.' If you harm them even a little today, I will wipe out your entire family!"
Canyang's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected Ren Feifan to be so violent, attacking the moment they met.
Seeing the storm of destructive sword energy approaching, he dared not be careless in the slightest. He frantically circulated the Daoist essence of the blazing sun within his body, rapidly forming hand seals, and shouted, "Blazing Sun Annihilation Technique!"
In an instant, endless golden sun light burst forth from his body, converging into a huge phantom of a blazing sun.
Under the blazing sun, countless ancient characters flowed, radiating a vast and scorching aura, colliding with Ren Feifan's destructive sword energy storm.
Boom—
A deafening roar resounded as two terrifying forces collided, sending shockwaves sweeping in all directions. The forging platform of the Abyss Forging Throat was instantly reduced to rubble.
Ye Chen had already taken to the air. Looking at the two fighting, his expression darkened.
EBE
