Chapter 12766 Sin and Purity
Chapter 12766 Sin and Purity
The Fusang Ancient Road was filled with the violent aura of pure yang flames. Even with the material of the Yuan Kun skeleton, it probably couldn't withstand it. Ye Chen planned to force his way through with his physical body.
He activated the Eternal Night Flame within his body, and the black and red flames swirled around him, forming a solid fire shield that isolated him from the scorching heat of the Flame River on the Fusang Ancient Road and the erosion of the spatial-temporal turbulence. He then began to travel along the ancient road.
"Where is the Mother of Ten Thousand Transformations?"
Ye Chen released his divine sense to capture the cause and effect of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother, wanting to meet her and see if he could borrow the Divine Forging Furnace to forge the Intercepting Dao Sword.
Although the chances were slim, Ye Chen didn't want to miss any opportunity.
There must be great dangers within the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land. If Ye Chen can forge the Intercepting Sword well, he will have more confidence.
Within the ancient Fusang Road, the pure Yang laws collided with the spatial-temporal turbulence, and Ye Chen had to endure immense pressure with every step he took forward.
Although the Eternal Night Fire could block most of the heat, it could not completely resist the tearing of the spacetime turbulence. Ye Chen's body was constantly stinging, and his divine sense was also greatly disturbed.
He gritted his teeth, stabilizing his own aura as he struggled through the River of Flames, heading deeper into the ancient path.
He could roughly sense the direction of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother, which should be deep within the Fusang Ancient Road.
As he traveled along the way, Ye Chen saw many enormous ferocious beasts that were being corrupted by pure yang flames and chaotic turbidity.
These ferocious beasts sensed Ye Chen's foreign aura and pounced on him frantically.
There are giant fiery lizards, as large as the sun and moon, that spew out flames that fill the sky, instantly melting the stars and sands into lava wherever they go.
A golden fire beast with three heads and six arms, its sharp claws tearing through the void, slammed down on Ye Chen with violent pure yang power.
There are also shadow fireflies hidden in the turbulent flow of time and space, swarming like a black torrent of flames. Once they attach themselves to a person, they will frantically devour spiritual energy and scorch the soul.
Ye Chen's expression was cold, and the Intercepting Dao Sword in his hand exuded a chilling ferocity. The bladeless and edgeless sword moved in his hand, and each strike carried the intent of interception and killing, instantly slaying the ferocious beast.
As Ye Chen fought his way through the battlefield, his aura became increasingly refined, and he gained more control over the Intercepting Dao Sword. However, the vastness of the Fusang Ancient Road far exceeded his imagination, and the ferocious beasts he slew were merely the tip of the iceberg within the ancient road.
This arduous journey took seven days in the blink of an eye.
Ye Chen stopped and hovered in the starry river, gazing at the boundless crimson-gold flames. He couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.
He used the Heavenly Insight Technique, but could only barely capture a faint trace of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother's aura, and could not pinpoint her exact location.
At this moment, he finally understood that Venerable Bailian's words were not empty words.
Finding the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother in this vast and star-studded Fusang Ancient Road is like finding a needle in a haystack, and depends heavily on luck.
Ye Chen took a deep breath, suppressed his impatience, readjusted his breathing, and continued to move deeper into the ancient path, following the faint scent.
"Help! Passersby, please help!"
After traveling only a few hundred miles, a shrill cry for help suddenly reached Ye Chen's ears.
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed, and he flashed to the source of the sound. There, he saw a patch of pitch-black eerie fire.
That patch of eerie fire stood out starkly against the crimson-golden Fusang Ancient Road.
There were a dozen or so cultivators dressed in golden Taoist robes struggling in the Yin Fire.
They were surrounded by yin fire, which swirled around them and constantly eroded their Taoist robes and flesh. Wailing screams and cries rose and fell. Three or four cultivators were charred black and their breath had stopped. They lay in the void, completely lifeless.
The yin fire was as black as ink, carrying a bone-chilling cold, forming an extreme contrast with the pure yang energy of the ancient road.
"Is it... the flames of the First Tyrant?"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed, and he immediately recognized the origin of the flames.
That flame seemed to be the flame of the First Tyrant, originating from the Yin chapter of the Yin-Yang Divine Contract! It was incredibly cold and eerie.
Ordinary cultivators who are contaminated with it will surely die.
These dozen or so cultivators endured the scorching heat of the Yin Fire, and their suffering was unimaginable. But the fact that they hadn't all perished after enduring it for so long suggests that their strength was indeed formidable.
"Even the First Tyrant has come to the Ancient Road of Fusang?"
Ye Chen was shocked as he looked at the Yin Fire. He never expected to see traces of the First Tyrant on the Fusang Ancient Road.
Could it be that the other party is also here for the Yang chapter of "Yin Yang Divine Contract"?
"My friend, we are the patrolling angels of the Glazed Heaven. Please send a message back to the Glazed Heaven, saying that we are trapped by the Tyrant's Yin Fire and are in imminent danger!"
Among the group of cultivators, the leader hurriedly asked Ye Chen for help, but not to ask Ye Chen to directly save the people. Instead, he asked Ye Chen to send a message to Liuli Heaven.
Everyone knew very well that this Yin Fire was extremely terrifying, and they figured it was beyond Ye Chen's ability to handle. They could only hope that he would help by sending word to them.
"Liuli Heaven?"
Ye Chen's heart stirred, but he didn't know what the relationship was between this Glazed Heaven and the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land.
But seeing the fierce yin fire, he feared that if he delayed any longer, all of them would die.
He had a deep grudge against the first tyrant; when the first tyrant wanted to kill someone, he insisted on saving them.
"I'll come to save you."
Without hesitation, Ye Chen unleashed the power of the blazing sun, his body surging with the laws of the sun. He formed a sword incantation with his right hand and uttered a low shout:
"Great Sun Glazed Sword, break!"
The crimson-gold pure yang sword energy instantly condensed, carrying the majesty of illuminating all things, like a dazzling pillar of light, fiercely slashing towards that patch of yin fire.
hiss hiss hiss—
The pure yang sword energy collided with the yin fire, producing a piercing sound. The pitch-black yin fire was quickly melted away under the scorching power of the pure yang energy. The yin fire that had been surrounding the cultivators was mostly destroyed in a short time.
The cultivators were overjoyed and hurriedly fled, collapsing to their knees and panting heavily.
"Thank you so much for saving me, my friend! I will never forget your kindness!"
The leading cultivator quickly bowed deeply to Ye Chen: "I am Chi Xuntian, the patrolling angel of the Glazed Heaven."
Ye Chen asked, "Liuli Heaven, the Patrol Envoy?"
The cultivator called "Red Patrol Heaven" said, "That's right! My Glazed Heaven is the guardian force on the outer perimeter of the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land. We are responsible for cleaning the Fusang Ancient Road, guiding those with affinity, and also investigating the unclean, slaying demons and eliminating evil."
As Chi Xuntian spoke, he waved his hand, signaling his subordinate cultivators to regulate their breathing and heal their injuries, his face filled with lingering fear:
“Two days ago, we sensed the aura of the First Tyrant and intended to apprehend him, but we did not expect that his strength was unfathomable. We were no match for him and were instead surrounded by his Yin Fire. If it weren’t for your help, we would have died today.”
His gaze fell on Ye Chen, his eyes filled with gratitude and a hint of curiosity: "Fellow Daoist, your aura is pure, and you possess the Law of the Blazing Sun. May I ask which branch of the Blazing Sun Holy Land you belong to?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen remained silent.
He was not from the Sacred Land of the Radiant Sun, and he did not want to reveal his true identity. He immediately said that he was a holy son of the Bright Moon Path and had come here for training.
But seeing Ye Chen remain silent, Chi Xuntian's doubts deepened, and his gaze subconsciously swept over the Intercepting Sword in Ye Chen's hand.
When Ye Chen used the Great Sun Glazed Sword just now, the pure yang light concealed the murderous intent of the Intercepting Dao Sword. Now that the light has dissipated, the dark and fierce aura of the Intercepting Dao Sword slowly spread out. The sharp intent that cuts off all paths made Chi Xuntian tremble, and his expression instantly became solemn.
"This...this is the Dao-Intercepting Sword?!"
Chi Xuntian gasped in shock, his eyes filled with astonishment and apprehension.
He had just seen Ye Chen wield the Great Sun Glazed Sword and assumed that Ye Chen was a genius from the Proud Sun Holy Land. He never expected that Ye Chen would actually be wielding the Intercepting Dao Sword.
"This sword belonged to the traitor who betrayed the Great Heavenly Emperor. It is extremely vicious. How did you come to have this sword?!"
He abruptly took a step back, his body erupting with pure Yang spiritual energy. He stared warily at Ye Chen, his tone icy: "Are you also an accomplice of those traitors? A demon who betrayed the Great Heavenly Emperor!"
Ye Chen said, "I'm not..."
Chi Xuntian shouted, "Traitor, you still dare to argue?"
He made rapid finger movements with his left hand, trying to grasp the secrets of heaven. Although he was unable to see Ye Chen's true identity as the Lord of Reincarnation, he could vaguely see the connection between Ye Chen and the Golden Radiance District. Moreover, the fact that he was holding the Intercepting Sword confirmed that he was indeed a "traitor's accomplice".
Before Ye Chen could explain, Chi Xuntian sternly ordered, "Brothers, this is a demon, seize him!"
"Form the Great Sun Purification Demon Formation!"
Upon hearing this, the remaining seven or eight Glass Angels immediately stood up, their bodies radiating golden light. They arranged themselves in specific positions, with strands of pure Yang spiritual energy connecting to form a massive array.
Within the formation, the true fire of the sun surged fiercely, emanating an aura that could purify and incinerate everything.
It was the ultimate technique of the Glazed Heaven, the Great Sun Purifying Demon Formation.
This massive formation instantly trapped Ye Chen, with waves of true solar fire crashing down upon him like a relentless tide.
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen was furious, and his face instantly darkened.
He kindly saved people, but was repaid with such ingratitude; it's utterly absurd.
He didn't want to get entangled with Liuli Tian; he only wanted to go deep into the ancient road to find the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother as soon as possible. But now he was trapped by the formation and had no way out.
"Ingratitude! They're courting death!"
Enraged, Ye Chen no longer held back, channeling the energy of the Radiant Sun Law within his body into the Intercepting Dao Sword.
In an instant, the Intercepting Dao Sword erupted with overwhelming ferocity. On its pitch-black blade, faint golden sun patterns appeared. The fierce killing intent swept in all directions, even attracting the surrounding starlight and flames. Countless crimson-gold solar true fires converged towards the Intercepting Dao Sword and were frantically devoured by its blade.
"Block the path, sever it!"
Ye Chen shouted loudly, holding the Intercepting Dao Sword, and slashed fiercely at the Great Sun Purifying Demon Formation.
The sharp, killing sword intent pierced through the formation, instantly severing the fundamental connection between the formation and the Glass Angel.
Click, click—
The light above the formation dimmed instantly, the true fire of the sun dissipated rapidly, and the glass angels who arranged the formation groaned, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, as the formation shattered instantly.
Chi Xuntian was shocked and retreated repeatedly, his eyes filled with disbelief:
"Impossible! This...this Intercepting Dao Sword is only a half-finished product, not even sharpened yet, how can it have such power?!"
Looking at Ye Chen's fierce aura and the strange Intercepting Sword, he felt a sense of fear.
"withdraw!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chi Xuntian grabbed a group of injured and blood-spitting patrolling angels with his hand and hurriedly turned around and fled.
Ye Chen wanted to give chase, but his blood and qi surged in his chest and abdomen. It was a trace of the Intercepting Sword's killing intent that backfired on him.
Ye Chen's expression changed slightly as he looked at the Intercepting Sword in his hand.
This sword seemed unwilling to submit to him.
Ye Chen took a deep breath and regulated his internal energy. In the short time that was delayed, Chi Xuntian and the others had already escaped far away and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, gripped the Intercepting Sword to protect himself, and continued flying deeper into the ancient path.
……
After Chi Xuntian fled far away, he recalled the ferocity of the First Tyrant and Ye Chen, and his body trembled with lingering fear.
"The First Tyrant has arrived, and the traitor from the Golden District has also returned. I must report this to the Holy Land."
He hurriedly took out a communication jade talisman, infused it with spiritual energy, and quickly transmitted the information that Ye Chen possessed the Intercepting Dao Sword, was suspected of being a traitor, and that the First Tyrant had broken into the Fusang Ancient Road back to the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land.
The Great Sun Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli, within the Lapis Lazuli Heavenly Palace.
Inside a magnificent hall, golden light swirled, countless flames of the sun flowed within, and the air was filled with a rich, pure yang energy.
An elderly man dressed in a golden-patterned Taoist robe sat on a jade throne in the center of the hall. His face was aged, but his eyes were sharp, and he exuded the powerful aura of a high-ranking member of the Tree of Life.
This person is one of the top experts in the Great Sun Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli, the Great Sun Venerable!
The communication jade talisman landed in the hands of the Great Sun Venerable. With the infusion of spiritual energy, the voice of the Crimson Sky Patrol slowly echoed.
Upon hearing the names "Intercepting Sword" and "First Tyrant," the Great Sun Venerable trembled, and the jade talisman in his hand nearly shattered.
"The Intercepting Sword has reappeared? And the First Tyrant..."
The Venerable Mahavairocana frowned deeply, his expression extremely complex.
The Intercepting Sword is an extremely fierce sword, and the First Tyrant bears the name of a tyrant and wields the Yin chapter of the Yin-Yang Divine Contract, making him a formidable force.
The First Tyrant disrupted cause and effect, treating Ye Chen as a sinner, saying that Ye Chen killed Luo Haifu, the general manager of Void Market, and stole the Yin Scroll.
However, while these altered causes and effects may fool ordinary people, they certainly cannot fool a powerful figure like the Great Sun Venerable.
Since the First Tyrant already has the Yin chapter, his visit to the Fusang Ancient Road must be aimed at the Yang chapter.
The simultaneous appearance of the swordsman of the Intercepting Sword and the First Tyrant on the Fusang Ancient Road will likely cause a huge uproar.
The Great Sun Venerable pondered for a moment, a resolute glint in his eyes, then slowly stood up, his body radiating golden light.
"Send word to summon the Golden Crow Guards and have them accompany me to the Fusang Ancient Road. We must bring these two to justice and not allow them to approach the Great Sun Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a neat response came from outside the main hall. A group of cultivators dressed in crimson-gold armor quickly assembled, their auras powerful. They were the elite Golden Crow Guards of the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land. Together with the Great Sun Venerable, they transformed into streaks of golden light and sped towards the Fusang Ancient Road.
……
Meanwhile, Ye Chen was still venturing deeper into the Fusang Ancient Road.
The deeper one goes, the harsher the environment of the Fusang Ancient Road becomes, the more violent the crimson-gold flame galaxy becomes, and the more dense the spacetime turbulence becomes.
Occasionally, enormous fragments of stars would fall from the Milky Way, carrying world-destroying power, crashing towards Ye Chen.
Suddenly, the air currents between heaven and earth became violent, and countless crimson-gold flames gathered together to form a storm that swept across the heavens and earth. Within the storm, the true fire of the sun surged wildly, mixed with fragments of shattered spacetime, and roared towards Ye Chen.
This is a solar storm, terrifying in its power; wherever it passes, stars are instantly vaporized.
Ye Chen dared not be careless. He activated the Eternal Night Burning Fire and the Moonlight Spiritual Energy to raise his own defenses to the extreme. At the same time, he used the Space Divine Path, his figure constantly flashing to avoid the direct impact of the storm.
