Chapter 12763 The Sword's Determination
When Ye Chen was repairing the Moonlit Shattered Star Sword, he was able to barely resist the curse's erosion with the help of the Divine Moon Azure Sea Book and the spiritual energy of the Illusionary Moon Goddess.
But at this moment, the aura of the curse continued to accumulate, and Ye Chen gradually felt an unbearable burning pain, even worse than being burned by magma. Every inch of his meridians felt like it was being scorched by raging fire, and even his soul was trembling, as if he were in purgatory.
Ye Chen's mind gradually became hazy, and fragmented phantom images appeared before his eyes. Finally, a blurry yet majestic figure slowly emerged from the darkness of his mental world.
The figure was surrounded by two completely different auras.
On one side is the scorching, domineering power of the sun, which shines upon all things.
On the other side, there is a cold, eerie, and all-consuming abyssal aura.
The two auras intertwined, forming a strange balance.
Ye Chen's mind jolted, and he forced himself to focus his attention. He saw the figure sitting atop a dark mountain, his brows furrowed with gloom.
"setting sun……"
A vague name involuntarily surfaced in Ye Chen's mind.
Ye Chen, with his keen insight, instantly understood that this was the person behind the Abyss Forging Throat of the Sun Holy Land, and the originator of the Sun Curse.
Its name is: Setting Sun!
What shocked Ye Chen even more was that he sensed the aura of the Primordial Sun within the body of the Remnant Sun. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that a broken fragment of the Primordial Sun had been fused deep within the Remnant Sun's dantian!
The fragment radiated endless power of the sun's origin, yet it was tightly enveloped by a layer of dense abyssal energy, as if the abyss itself was used as a container to contain this wisp of sun fire.
"Is the setting sun a descendant of the blazing sun?"
"Is he the master of the Abyss Throat, and the originator of the Curse of the Blazing Sun?"
Various thoughts flashed through Ye Chen's mind, and he felt that the identity of this Canyang was definitely not simple.
Amidst the burning pain all over his body, Ye Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Since this setting sun can use the abyss to envelop the fragments of the blazing sun, then perhaps Ye Chen can also use the power of the abyss to envelop the rampaging curse of the blazing sun.
The most terrifying abyss in the world lies within Ye Chen's body.
With this in mind, Ye Chen stopped passively defending and immediately activated the power of the abyss within his body, carefully guiding it towards the blazing curse that had invaded his meridians.
However, he never expected that this action would instantly trigger the abyss hidden within him.
The previously docile power of the abyss was now like a dormant volcano awakened, stirring wildly and surging through the meridians, colliding with the curse of the blazing sun.
Two extreme forces raged within him, causing him to convulse in pain and nearly faint.
"No, if this continues, I'll be swallowed by the abyss before the curse is broken!"
Ye Chen knew this method was not feasible. Enveloping the blazing sun in the abyss would cause the abyss to erupt, which he could not withstand.
After a pause, Ye Chen quickly changed his mind.
His gaze fell on the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword being tempered in the forging furnace. With a thought, he immediately activated his spiritual energy, guiding the restless abyssal aura within his body, along with the blazing sun curse that had invaded his meridians, towards the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword in the furnace.
Neither the abyss nor the curse of the blazing sun could destroy the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword.
However, the two energies may mix and achieve a balance.
Soon, the pitch-black abyssal energy and the crimson-gold blazing sun energy surged into the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword like two raging torrents.
The Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword revealed interwoven black and gold patterns, with the dark power of the abyss and the blazing power of the sun intertwining and merging, unleashing an even more magnificent aura.
Ye Chen was overjoyed. He could clearly feel that the power of the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword was rapidly increasing, surpassing its previous peak state.
"Very good, this method works."
"I transferred the power of the Sun Curse into the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, and then used the Abyss to harmonize it. This way, the divine sword will not be polluted, and its power will be greatly enhanced."
Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction, and his spirit followed the aura of the curse of the blazing sun, faintly tracing back to the true form of the setting sun.
Ye Chen's divine sense pierced through the void and he saw the setting sun once again, sitting upright on the mountain peak.
It was a colossal black mountain guarding a vital strategic location, the very throat of the Abyss Forging Ground.
The mountaintop was shrouded in mist, and the setting sun sat cross-legged with its eyes closed. Its aura flickered, as if it were meditating and trying to dispel the erosion from the abyss within its body.
"This setting sun is trying to use the power of the abyss to envelop the fragments of the blazing sun."
"But unexpectedly, it was corrupted by the abyss?"
Ye Chen glimpsed an ancient secret, vaguely seeing that when the sun fell, a fragment of it was obtained by a citizen who passed through the sun's path.
That person is none other than the current master of the Throat of Abyss Forging, Remnant Sun!
The blazing sun shone brightly, and the setting sun was enveloped in an abyss.
However, the terror of the abyss eroded the mind of the setting sun.
Ye Chen judged that Canyang's rationality must have already fallen to the brink of madness!
At this moment, the attempt to regulate one's breathing is merely a temporary reprieve, ultimately unable to escape the abyss's embrace.
"Since this guy will eventually lose his mind and become a demon, I might as well take the opportunity to steal his energy."
"In this way, I can both strengthen the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword and enhance the power of my Sun Path."
"Furthermore, they can even know the coordinates of the Great Sun Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli!"
A bold and greedy idea began to grow wildly in Ye Chen's mind.
He wanted to steal the energy of the setting sun, and even devour it!
The Curse of the Blazing Sun is a line that connects to the setting sun. Ye Chen can follow this line to steal the essence of the setting sun!
As the mastermind behind the Abyss Forging Throat, and having fused with the fragments of the Radiant Sun, Canyang resides in the Radiant Sun Holy Land, within the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land.
In other words, if Ye Chen devours the remnant sun, he will know the coordinates of the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land and will have a chance to find the Yang chapter of the Yin-Yang Divine Contract!
With this in mind, Ye Chen no longer hesitated. He immediately activated his divine sense and, following the connection of the auras, began to try to steal the energy of the setting sun and the fragment of the blazing sun.
"Devour the fragments, devour them!"
Ye Chen activated the power of the Frenzied Devouring Fragments and began to devour them.
The Frenzy Fragment can devour everything; with the connection of clues, he has the opportunity to devour the setting sun!
Even if it can't completely devour it, stealing a portion of its energy is enough!
The Devouring Fragment activated, its dark devouring power, like a gluttonous beast opening its mouth, frantically stealing the Great Dao Origin and the power of the Sun Fragment from the Remnant Sun's body along the connecting thread.
As Ye Chen devoured the food, an astonishing phenomenon appeared.
Behind Ye Chen, the phantom of the setting sun appeared.
The phantom was connected to Ye Chen by a thin line.
The energy of the setting sun's origin continuously converged into Ye Chen's body along this thread.
Ye Chen was devouring, stealing, and plundering, like a daring thief stealing the energy of the heavens and earth.
He who steals a hook is punished, he who steals a country becomes a prince, and he who steals the sun has the chance to become the new sun!
"Ok?"
"what is this?"
"A...setting sun?"
"how is this possible?"
The Venerable Ones on the periphery were completely dumbfounded when they saw the phantom of the setting sun appear.
Then he realized that Ye Chen was trying to steal the energy of the setting sun!
The Setting Sun is a powerful being that has fused with fragments of the blazing sun and wields the Throat of Abyss Forging.
Ye Chen actually dared to attempt to steal the Remnant Sun, which was tantamount to playing with fire and was simply courting death!
"Chen Ye! Stop right now!"
Venerable Bailian shouted loudly, his Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform fiercely battling against the Abyss Forging Throat of the Setting Sun.
He wished he could tear the setting sun to pieces, but he also knew very well that the setting sun, who was the guardian of the sacred land of the blazing sun, was infinitely majestic and could not be desecrated by Ye Chen.
"You're insane! How dare you steal the setting sun? Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
"You think my Jinyao District isn't chaotic enough? Damn it!"
Venerable Bailian wanted to intervene, but he was afraid of triggering karma and causing chaos.
His voice reached Ye Chen's ears, but Ye Chen ignored it.
Ye Chen had already decided to steal the Remnant Sun, so naturally he wouldn't give up easily.
At the same time, from within the Reincarnation Graveyard, the anxious voice of the Goddess of Illusionary Moon also rang out:
"Tomb owner, stop! It's too dangerous!"
"This person's power is beyond your ability to withstand!"
The Goddess of Illusion Moon did not recognize Remnant Sun, but she could sense the terrifying power of his aura, which was far beyond what Ye Chen could withstand.
Once the wrath of the setting sun descends, it will be enough to incinerate Ye Chen.
Ye Chen, however, did not stop stealing. His eyes were filled with fanaticism, greed, and obsession: "No, I can't stop!"
The Goddess of Illusion Moon was startled and said, "Oh no, Tomb Master, your Dao Heart has been twisted by the Abyss! You are ill!"
This greedy and fanatical Ye Chen is not the Ye Chen that the Goddess of Illusion Moon knows.
She instantly realized that Ye Chen was ill and that his Dao heart had been affected by the abyss.
"I'm not sick."
Ye Chen licked his lips, his mind solely focused on seizing the power of the setting sun.
Ren Feifan saw this and frowned deeply, but did not say anything to disturb him.
Now that Ye Chen has stolen the setting sun, it has reached a critical moment. To disturb him rashly would only cause Ye Chen to suffer a backlash.
As Ye Chen continued to steal and devour, Can Yang, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, seemed to finally realize that his energy was being lost.
The illusory image of the setting sun behind Ye Chen suddenly opened its eyes, as if a sleeping ferocious beast had been awakened. Dark aura erupted from its body, boiling wildly and enveloping the entire Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform.
"Who dares to attempt to devour me?"
"You brat! How dare you!"
The setting sun roared with earth-shattering fury, echoing through the heavens, a fury that resounded once more:
"An ant trying to swallow an elephant—utterly overestimating its own strength!"
"I will kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the void above the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform suddenly twisted, the pitch-black mist gathered wildly, and countless chains wrapped with golden and red curse patterns stretched out from the void.
Those chains were filled with intense resentment and curses; they were the Soul-Forging Chains, formed from the resentment and curses of the setting sun throughout its life.
The Soul-Forging Lock moved with incredible speed, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, ignoring spatial distance and heading straight for Ye Chen.
That eerie curse power, even the slightest touch, can make one's soul tremble and one's mind go into chaos.
"Oh no! It's the Soul-Forging Lock, specifically designed to erode the soul!"
Venerable Bailian's expression changed drastically, realizing it was Canyang's doing.
Ren Feifan, who was standing to the side, reacted extremely quickly. When he saw the Soul Locks of Vengeance appear, he drew his long sword from his waist, his body erupted with the Law of Destruction, and the totem of the Giant Tree of Destruction appeared behind him. He then unleashed a jet-black sword aura of destruction, attempting to sever the Soul Locks.
However, the Soul Lock of Vengeance was formed by the setting sun using the power of its divine soul and curses. It completely ignored Ren Feifan's destructive sword energy and continued to entangle Ye Chen.
In the next instant, Ye Chen's body was bound by iron chains.
Instantly, he felt a bone-chilling cold sweep over his entire body.
His body and soul felt as if they were being pierced by countless steel needles, causing unbearable pain. The scene before him began to distort, and countless dark phantoms appeared before his eyes.
Finally, a colossal furnace bound by countless chains appeared in his mental world.
The furnace was pitch black, surrounded by abyssal fire and the curse of the blazing sun. At its core, dark flames burned wildly, emanating an aura that devoured everything. It was the core furnace of the Throat of Abyss Forging.
That was the weapon that the setting sun used to forge divine weapons and refine everything. Once you were dragged into it, your soul and body would be completely refined and turned into fuel in the furnace, never to be reborn.
"I am going to refine you, prepare to die!"
The setting sun's voice was cold as chains dragged Ye Chen's body, preparing to throw him into the furnace.
"Oops……"
Ye Chen's heart sank, a wave of regret washing over him. "I was too impulsive..."
He only then realized that his actions had been far too reckless.
With his current cultivation level, trying to steal the essence of the setting sun is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.
This was clearly because the abyss had corrupted his Dao heart, causing him to harbor dark thoughts of greed and do such a reckless thing.
The Goddess of Illusion was right; he was indeed ill.
The Soul-Forging Lock had already bound Ye Chen's entire body, causing his body to turn icy cold and his consciousness to blur. He was uncontrollably flying towards the giant furnace.
He was about to die, to be refined in the furnace of the setting sun.
At the critical moment between life and death, Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword suddenly erupted with a dazzling golden light.
Within the light, there was both spiritual energy of the sun and moon, as well as the power of the abyss and the blazing sun that had been channeled in.
hum-
The endless sword light erupted in an instant, severing all the iron chains binding Ye Chen.
Furthermore, the thread connecting Ye Chen and the setting sun was also completely severed.
The causal connection between Ye Chen and Can Yang was instantly severed.
Ye Chen could no longer steal the energy of the setting sun, and the setting sun could no longer harm Ye Chen.
The fading shadow of the setting sun gradually dissipated. Before it vanished, it stared in disbelief at Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword and murmured:
"This sword... how could it be..."
As a master blacksmith himself, Canyang could naturally see that Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword was extraordinary, but in terms of forging techniques, it wasn't particularly groundbreaking.
The main problem is that the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword contains far too much energy, so it should have shattered long ago.
With so many different kinds of energy mixed together, no weapon could withstand it.
Unbeknownst to Canyang, it was Ye Chen's power of reincarnation and the power of yin and yang that allowed all kinds of different energies to be balanced and harmonized, preventing the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword from exploding.
However, at this moment, the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword erupted with sword light, severing the chains and cutting off the connection between Ye Chen and Canyang. The essence of the sword was severely depleted in an instant.
