Chapter 12695 Passing on the Power
"You intend to transfer power to me?"
Ye Chen understood and immediately frowned. If he obtained the divine power of destiny, the divine power of burning lamps and wishes, his power would naturally increase dramatically.
However, the Heavenly Maiden Ji Siqing and others will likely fall into a state of weakness.
The celestial maiden said, "Yes, we have thought it through very clearly. Giving you so much power may put immense pressure on you, but I believe you can withstand it."
Ye Chen is now at the ninth level of the Life Source Realm. His life source is too powerful. With the addition of the power of the Reincarnation Law and the Spacetime Law, it is not impossible for him to bear the authority of the Heavenly Maiden and others.
Even if any backlash occurs, Ye Chen can use the Time Technique to transfer the negative impact to the future.
"I'll think about it..."
Ye Chen still frowned; the matter was of great importance, and he dared not act rashly.
"Don't even think about it, everything we have is yours."
"The only way to defeat the Black Queen Mother is through this method!"
As the celestial maiden spoke, she walked directly to Ye Chen's side, hugged him without saying a word, and then kissed him rather domineeringly.
As she kissed Ye Chen, she transferred all her power to ignite the lamp to him.
This kind of power transfer is extremely difficult for ordinary people, and success is not guaranteed.
However, Ye Chen and the Heavenly Maiden were deeply entangled in karma, and they were connected by reincarnation bloodlines. All their power flowed smoothly through the cycle of reincarnation without any obstruction.
In an instant, Ye Chen felt a fiery power ignite in his dantian.
That was the divine power of the Lamp-Burning Emperor of the past, which has now been transferred to him, and it is also mixed with the wishes of the Heavenly Maiden herself.
Seeing the Heavenly Maiden's eagerness to spread the word, Xia Ruoxue, Wei Ying, Ji Siqing, Sun Yi, and the others followed suit and pounced on Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was quickly overwhelmed by the women, and streams of powerful divine authority poured into his body.
After a night of frenzied preaching, Ye Chen felt his body was completely filled, with countless strange energies surging and flowing. Fortunately, his Samsara Technique was powerful enough to incorporate all the strange energies into the Samsara Path, slowly harmonizing and transforming them into his own.
The divine authority of destiny, the divine authority of burning lamps and wishes, the dreamlike divine authority of the old Heavenly Dao Butterfly Dream Star Lord and Misty Rain Butterfly, and even the light battle path of the Forest Book and Star-Seeing Elegance... all these authorities are integrated into Ye Chen.
Moreover, he has also refined the power that the butcher once held.
Even the Blood Dragon chose to merge with Ye Chen, merging into his body to amplify the power of the Great Dao Dragon Emperor. Only a wisp of its own consciousness remained, dwelling deep within Ye Chen's mind.
Suddenly bearing so much power, Ye Chen felt immense pressure, his whole body heavy.
These forces are as vast as the ocean, and cannot be fully digested in a short time.
At this moment, he has only mastered a small portion of its power.
After Tiannu, Ji Siqing, and the others surrendered their authority to Ye Chen, they all fell into weakness and went back to rest.
The morning sunlight fell on the sea of flowers, where Ye Chen was the only person.
"Of all these powers, the most valuable is undoubtedly Siqing's divine right to destiny."
Ye Chen silently took stock of the divine powers he currently possessed. Apart from the Cycle of Reincarnation, the most valuable and potentially greatest was the Cycle of Destiny!
When the seventy-two pillar gods were born, many other gods coveted the power of destiny.
But those who covet fate often end up suffering its calamities.
Even the legendary Spider Ancestor, who was said to be the master of fate, was ultimately strangled by the threads of fate.
Fate is elusive yet incredibly heavy; not even the Seventy-Two Pillar Gods, let alone the Primordial Abyss, dare to claim control over it.
Now that Ye Chen has devoured the divine power of destiny, he is trying to use his own power to peer into destiny, or even rewrite it!
slam-la-
As the Book of Reincarnation was released, Ye Chen merged all the countless threads of fate with it.
After his Book of Reincarnation merged with the Dao of Destiny, it shone with divine light and acquired another name:
The Book of Destiny!
Ye Chen opened the Book of Destiny, and saw ink-like words slowly emerging on the blank pages:
Your harem has bestowed upon you many divine powers, including the power of destiny. Now, you are the master of destiny.
Two months later, the Trial of the Gods begins, where you encounter many powerful enemies: the Black Queen Mother, Ancestor Tingyou, Ancestor Tianwen, Lord of Wuxiang Palace, the Shepherd, as well as Emperor Blood Phoenix, Emperor White Tiger, Emperor Yellow Dragon, Lord of Gray Mist...
[Among them, the Yellow Dragon Emperor is one of the seven Origin Gods, the left arm of the Primordial Beginning. Even if you don't recognize him, your Heavenly Insight will allow you to see through him at a glance.]
The trial has begun. You have overcome numerous hardships and suppressed the demons with your unparalleled strength.
However, you overlooked a dilapidated mural, mistaking it for mere decoration, unaware that it held the hopes and dreams of the person depicted.
[You are startled by the demon in the animation, fight a fierce battle to kill it, but are severely injured in the process.]
[The trial has ended, and the Black Queen Mother has launched a final battle. You, severely wounded, are at a significant disadvantage.]
……
Ye Chen stared at the words on the page, his pupils slightly contracting.
In the past, when predicting fate, one could only see the intricate threads of cause and effect; the future was ever-changing and difficult to determine.
Now that we have the Book of Destiny, the future has become so clear, as if it were already set in stone.
"So, my future self was seriously injured because of the person in the painting?"
Ye Chen frowned. He still remembered Elder Ye Liao's warning and was already wary of the "person in the painting." He never expected that a mural would become his calamity.
Having glimpsed the future, he naturally wouldn't sit idly by.
Ye Chen immediately released his divine sense and used his will to try to rewrite his destiny.
“I won’t be ambushed; I destroyed the mural beforehand.”
"I was unharmed, fought the Black Queen Mother in my prime, and achieved final victory!"
As the will was unleashed, the ink on the Book of Destiny indeed began to distort and dissipate, revealing new content:
[...You wield the power of fate, attempting to rewrite it.]
[You sensed something amiss with the mural and destroyed it beforehand, but you were still startled by the demon within the mural.]
Fortunately, you were prepared and ultimately slew the Heavenly Demon unharmed.
[The Divine Path Trial has ended. You are now locked in a final battle with the Black Queen Mother. The situation is at a stalemate, and the outcome remains uncertain.]
……
Ye Chen frowned even more as he looked at the new ending.
What he wanted was to completely eliminate the hidden dangers and achieve a victory without any suspense.
But the Book of Destiny shows that even with precautions, the Heavenly Demon will still be born, only he will no longer be injured.
As for the final battle with the Black Queen Mother, the outcome remains uncertain.
"It seems that the future is not so easy to change."
Ye Chen finally understood that the heavier one's destiny, the harder it is to shake.
Just like ordinary people who know nothing about cultivation, they will eventually die. This trend is like the way of heaven, and ordinary people cannot reverse it.
At this moment, facing the future, he felt a sense of powerlessness that ordinary people feel when facing death.
He tried again to change the outcome and define his own victory.
However, no matter how many times it is rewritten, the ending remains the same: the outcome between him and the Black Queen Mother is uncertain, and no one can predict it in advance.
Left with no other choice, Ye Chen had to put away the Book of Destiny and give up the idea of "cheating".
But at least he knew the secret of the person in the painting beforehand, thus avoiding a misfortune.
In the future final battle against the Black Queen Mother, he will not fight with a severely injured body.
In the following period, Ye Chen quietly cultivated in the Nine Cang Academy, preparing for the Divine Path Trial.
There are only two months left until the Divine Path Trial.
During this period, Ye Chen reconciled his authority, integrated his power, and attempted to break through to the Great Heaven Undying Realm.
With so much divine power gathered, breaking through to the Great Heaven Undying Realm would be extremely easy for him.
Ye Chen only spent a few days to break through to the half-step Undying Realm, and was only a thin sheet of paper away from the true Undying Realm.
Ye Chen did not attempt to break through to the final half-step, the last layer of paper, maintaining his cultivation at the half-step Undying Realm.
Because a breakthrough to a higher realm will trigger extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, and in the short period after the breakthrough, one will receive tremendous blessings from heaven and earth.
If Ye Chen were to break through now, the benefits of that Heaven and Earth Blessing would be completely wasted.
It would be better to suppress one's cultivation level for now and break through when needed in future battles. With the buffs of heaven and earth, one can still suppress opponents.
With this in mind, Ye Chen kept his cultivation level unchanged and focused on strengthening his foundation.
A day later, Ye Chen suddenly thought of something.
"It's been a long time since I've been to Zixiao Divine Mountain. Why don't we go and see the Heavenly Sword Master first?"
"If we can kill him, we will erase him."
……
With a spatial fluctuation, Ye Chen instantly appeared at Purple Cloud Divine Mountain.
When he arrived at this legendary holy land of swordsmanship, the scene before him made his heart sink, and the ease he had felt before vanished completely.
The majestic sacred mountain, which in my memory was worshipped by countless sword cultivators and whose sword energy soared into the sky, was now shrouded in an indescribable heavy silence.
It was bizarre to the extreme.
The entire mountain range seemed to have been ripped from reality by an invisible giant hand, suspended in a distorted yin and yang. The surface of the mountain was covered with a layer of eerie, dark, rust-like substance, upon which flowed dark runes that did not belong to the other side of the starry sky, emanating a cold aura that isolated everything and sealed away all things!
What's even more unsettling is that, atop the mountain, Ye Chen seems to see seven ancient longswords of different shapes, all radiating the same power to annihilate stars!
They are not physical objects, but rather manifestations of some supreme sword law, slowly circling around in an incomparably mysterious trajectory to form a huge sword array!
In the center of the sword formation, three more solid and terrifying sword shadows could be vaguely seen rising and falling. The sharpness they unconsciously emitted caused fine cracks to appear in the surrounding void, which then returned to calm.
Yin and Yang lost their balance here, intertwining chaotically into a hazy vortex, and Ye Chen felt that his own reincarnation bloodline was being subtly rejected and severed by the Seven Swords Formation!
how can that be!
"There's actually power from beyond this world... and this sword formation... it's completely different from the rules of the other side of the starry sky..."
Ye Chen frowned, trying to see through the layers of confusion.
He felt an unprecedented sense of hindrance; the Purple Cloud Divine Mountain seemed to have become a meticulously crafted prison.
He had been here before, but after so long, the changes were so drastic.
That makes sense, though. The Yin God's Dreamland, the Black Queen Mother, Yin Yang Heavenly Continent, and so on have long since disrupted the balance of the other side of the starry sky.
Meanwhile, Zixiao Divine Mountain and Tiankui Sword Master have been hiding and lying in wait, clearly plotting something.
What we see now is one of the results of this strategic planning.
"This place seems to be related to the concept of reincarnation. I wonder if it has any effect on my reincarnation bloodline and those powers?"
Thinking of this, Ye Chen tried to activate his Reincarnation Bloodline, drawing upon a trace of Reincarnation Power, which transformed into a tiny stream of light, piercing the dark seal like a needle tip.
"laugh--"
The moment the Reincarnation Stream touched the seal, the dark runes suddenly lit up, and the seven illusory divine swords that surrounded it trembled at the same time. An annihilation sword intent, condensed to its extreme, was born out of thin air. It did not slash at Ye Chen, but precisely struck the Reincarnation Stream!
Ye Chen's eyes were extremely serious!
With his current cultivation at the half-step Undying Realm, coupled with his profound understanding of reincarnation and the fusion of so many powers, ordinary sealing restrictions would be no match for him. However, the arrangement of this Purple Cloud Divine Mountain is far beyond imagination in terms of its high level and unpredictable power!
Forcibly breaking the seal would likely not only fail, but would also provoke a fierce backlash from the entire sword formation and the forces outside that world.
Just as he was pondering this, a sudden change occurred.
That seemingly indestructible, dark seal, imbued with the aura of the world beyond, began to melt away from its center as if it possessed a life of its own! It forcefully carved out a deep passage, barely wide enough for one person to pass through!
At the end of the passage, instead of the rocks and earth one might have imagined, there was only a deep darkness, as if leading to another dimension.
An unparalleled sword intent, surpassing all other sword techniques, emanated from the depths of the passage, like a primordial beast awakening after countless ages of slumber.
This sword intent is not merely sharpness, but also carries a vast and profound Daoist charm that judges fate and determines the future.
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
He walked slowly, and seemed somewhat forlorn.
Soon, Ye Chen saw it clearly.
The newcomer wore a wide black robe embroidered with countless dark gold mysterious runes, and his figure was as tall and straight as a solitary peak.
His face was cold and stern, his skin was as pale as if he had never seen the sun, and his eyebrows were like sharp swords that flew diagonally into his temples. Even with his eyes closed, he gave people an extreme sense of pressure, as if his sharpness was restrained and he could split the sky at any moment.
He didn't emit any sword energy, but just by standing there, he seemed to become the source and destination of all "swords" in this world. The seven sword phantoms swirling on the mountaintop, and even the three terrifying sword shadows that appeared and disappeared behind him, all seemed to emit a faint hum of submission centered on him.
Heavenly Sword Master!
Although many changes have occurred, Ye Chen can be 100% certain!
Ye Chen's pupils contracted slightly, and the Reincarnation Bloodline within his body accelerated its circulation on its own, causing the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword to emit a low alarm sound.
The person before him was calm, yet seemed to exude a sense of danger! But surprisingly, the other party showed no intention of killing him.
"Lord of Reincarnation, this should be our first formal meeting." The Heavenly Sword Master spoke, his voice calm and indifferent, yet every word resonated like a sword. "This is not a place for you. Zixiao Mountain is sealed off as a way to avoid the world and to prevent karmic repercussions. If you stop now and leave, we can still live in peace."
Ye Chen's gaze was like lightning as he stared directly at the other party: "Are you living in seclusion? Or do you have other plans? I have followed you here only to confirm the doubts in my heart. You sealed the mountain with a sword formation and drew in the power from outside the world. Is it really just to find peace and quiet?"
The Heavenly Sword Master's closed eyelids seemed to twitch slightly, but his voice remained calm and even: "During the time you were causing chaos on the other side of the starry sky and the Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent, I had a chance to go to the outside world and experience some things. Although I only set foot on the outer periphery, I understood many things."
"The tide of events is irreversible and cannot be reversed by one person or one sword. If you and I were to clash here, regardless of victory or defeat, it would inevitably trigger deeper taboos, and the Cycle of Reincarnation might be in danger of collapse. This is not an exaggeration."
"You are very strong. I used to want to kill you, but now I have no intention of killing you, and I can't kill you anyway."
