Chapter 12684 Is he Ren Feifan?
The next instant, Xiao Wan seemed to remember something and shouted:
"The Lord of Reincarnation is not dead! It is not dead!"
"The Nine-Shedding Dragon has nine chances to transform and be reborn!"
"It has nine lives!"
Hearing Xiao Wan's shout, Ye Chen frowned, trying hard to recall something, but he couldn't remember anything.
The memories of Nightmare Demon Mountain and Star Abyss Ghost Mother should contain details about the Nine-Transformed Filthy Dragon, but the vast radiance of the Yang God Heavenly Pearl just now erased the chaotic imprint in Ye Chen's body, as well as many chaotic-related memories, so he couldn't recall them for the time being.
Gululu...
At this moment, the body of the Nine-Transformed Filthy Dragon that had been slain began to writhe unusually, with blood and qi emerging.
It has nine lives?
Ye Chen sensed something was wrong and wanted to finish him off, but he was too exhausted to do so.
boom--
In the next instant, a fierce demonic power erupted from the Nine-Transformed Dragon, directly knocking Ye Chen over.
The Nine-Transformed Filth Dragon, which had just been killed, opened its eyes again and came back to life!
As soon as it came to life, it immediately swung its claws, grabbed the corpse of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Infant, threw it into its mouth, and chewed and swallowed it with crunching sounds.
After devouring the Hundred-Eyed Demon Infant, a terrifying scene unfolded: hundreds of eyes sprouted from the Nine-Transformed Filth Dragon's body, an extremely bizarre and terrifying sight. Chaotic energy surged forth from its body, even more ferocious than before.
"The Lord of Reincarnation actually took my life. Amazing!"
"It seems I still underestimate you."
"But that's it for now!"
The nine-times-shedding dragon's eyes widened in fury, emitting a fierce roar.
It soared into the sky once more, looking down at Ye Chen with a sense of apprehension in its eyes.
At this moment, Ye Chen was exhausted and in very poor physical condition, but the Nine-Transformed Dragon dared not underestimate him in the slightest.
"I dare not underestimate you any longer, Myriad Corpse Buddha, awaken!"
It let out a grand and desolate dragon roar, and immediately with a rumble, the earth trembled and cracked open, from which thick, chaotic black energy surged forth from the ground.
Just now, Ye Chen used the Yang God Heavenly Pearl to plunge this world into eternal daylight, but at this moment, the chaotic black energy surged out from underground, quickly plunging the world into darkness again.
Within that chaotic black mist was a strong stench of corpses, and also a strange smell of burning Buddhist resin, like incense in a temple.
Buzz!
The altar of the Xuan Yin tribe emitted a violent buzzing sound, with runes flashing, and black chaotic energy spread across the earth like a tide.
Ye Chen immediately became alert, only to see a bizarre scene unfold. The people of the Xuan Yin tribe, corrupted by the chaotic energy, suddenly fell into a state of dazed stiffness, emitting strange hoarse cries from their throats, as if they had turned into zombies in an instant, their eyes all fixed on the direction of the altar.
There was a hint of piety in his empty eyes.
Click-click——
The earth was cracking wildly, and chaotic energy mixed with the stench of corpses and the smell of burning incense and ash raged everywhere. The altar was also cracking.
The next instant, with a bang, the altar shattered, and a huge hand wrapped in withered yellow human skin emerged from the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the enormous claw tore the earth open, and a corpse crawled out.
The corpse was covered in a rotten robe, and there were pale or withered arms emerging from its chest, back, and abdomen, each holding a Buddhist mudra, a human head, a skull, or a scripture, making it extremely terrifying.
The corpse was enormous, standing a thousand feet tall. As soon as it crawled out, it tore the earth apart, causing an earthquake. Turbid Buddhist light and dark chaotic energy swirled around it, and a phantom image of a Buddhist wheel floated behind its head.
It is none other than the Myriad Corpse Buddha!
Ye Chen looked at the figure of the Myriad Corpse Buddha and felt a chill run down his spine.
Legend has it that the Myriad Corpse Buddha was forged from hundreds of millions of corpses. The one before him is just one of them, which can be said to be one of the hundreds of millions of avatars of the Myriad Corpse Buddha, an insignificant existence.
But it was just a corpse, yet the terrifying and intense pressure made Ye Chen unable to breathe.
The Corpse Buddha of Myriad Causes, with its half-rotten head and long gray hair hanging down, still had a light in its eyes, which were completely rotten and oozing pus, as it looked at Ye Chen.
"The Corpse Buddha of Ten Thousand Deeds, the third seat of the Ten Great Evil Gods!"
"The patriarch of the divine path of sinners (those who have committed sins), a great being who loves all living beings and delivers countless sinners from suffering!"
"Praise be to your arrival!"
When the Nine-Transformed Filth Dragon saw the Myriad Corpse Buddha crawling out from underground, its eyes were filled with fanatical excitement, even a sense of worship.
As evil gods, the difference between it and the Myriad Corpse Buddha is like that between a firefly and the sun!
The path of sinners in the Twelve Paths of Gods was created by the Buddha of Ten Thousand Karmas.
The Buddha of Ten Thousand Causes is great and compassionate, saving all sentient beings by taking their sins upon himself, thus attaining Buddhahood. However, due to his heavy sins, he also became an evil god.
He has saved millions of people and carries the corpses of millions of sinners on his back, hence the name "Corpse Buddha".
The power of the sinner path possessed by the Nine-Transformed Filth Dragon actually originated from the Myriad Karma Corpse Buddha.
Although it has been trying to excavate and control the corpse of the Myriad Corpse Buddha for thousands of years, it also holds a sense of awe for this ancient and great being in its heart.
"Buddha, I have prepared the offerings for you."
The Nine-Transformed Dragon grinned, glanced at Ye Chen, and then revealed a cold smile, its dragon claws suddenly clenching.
Suddenly, everyone in the Xuan Yin tribe knelt down uncontrollably, bowing and worshipping the Myriad Causes Corpse Buddha.
In the next instant, their bodies convulsed as if in spasm, and streams of blood flowed from their seven orifices, converging into rivers of blood that flowed toward the Myriad Causes Corpse Buddha.
Some tried to struggle, but claws formed from chaotic energy gripped their ankles tightly, preventing them from escaping.
These people of the Xuan Yin tribe were all subjects of the former Great Heavenly Emperor, and their bloodlines possessed special energy. However, they have now become sacrifices, all offered up by the Nine-Transformed Filthy Dragon to the Myriad Causes Corpse Buddha.
Ye Chen sensed that the situation was not good. It seemed that the Nine-Transformed Filth Dragon had used a special method to control the people of the Xuan Yin tribe.
"Lord of Reincarnation, save...save me..."
At that moment, a cry for help filled with immense fear rang out.
But then Xiao Wan stumbled and ran toward Ye Chen. Chaotic energy swirled around her, and blood involuntarily flowed from her mouth and nose. She felt as if all the blood in her body was being drawn away by a powerful, invisible force.
She was gripped by extreme fear, knowing that she was about to be sacrificed, drained of her life force, and turned into a withered corpse.
In a life-or-death situation, she instinctively cried out to Ye Chen for help.
Ye Chen was also preoccupied with his own affairs. Looking around, the world was dark and chaotic. The Nine-Transformed Filthy Dragon was coiled in the sky, while the thousand-foot-tall corpse of the Myriad Karma Corpse Buddha stood between heaven and earth. The scene was both magnificent and terrifying.
Having received the blood sacrifice of the Xuan Yin tribe, the radiance in the decaying eyes of the Myriad Causes Corpse Buddha grew ever brighter.
The reborn Nine-Transformed Filthy Dragon was already extremely difficult to deal with, and with the addition of the Myriad Karma Corpse Buddha, Ye Chen estimated that he would have to die here.
We still have two trump cards: the Yang God Heavenly Pearl and the Book of Reincarnation. Both of these trump cards come at an extremely high cost.
Seeing Xiao Wan running over in a panic, Ye Chen subconsciously reached out and grabbed her hand.
Shila-
The moment Ye Chen grasped Xiao Wan's hand, it was as if a lightning bolt had struck his brain, and his whole body trembled. He felt a very mysterious sensation, as if he had instantly connected with someone's soul and shared a telepathic understanding.
It is the Great Heavenly Emperor!
Xiao Wan is a subject of the Great Heavenly Emperor and has his bloodline within her. The moment Ye Chen touched her palm, he seemed to connect with the Great Heavenly Emperor in the dark. A magnificent figure appeared in his mind, wearing a golden imperial robe and a crown with cascading beads, his whole body radiating golden light, but his face was not visible.
This feeling of telepathy and spiritual connection left Ye Chen stunned.
At this moment, the Corpse Buddha of Myriad Causes, having absorbed a large amount of blood sacrifice, emitted a blue light in its eyes, seemingly coming back to life. It looked at Ye Chen, paused for a moment, and then asked in a hoarse voice:
"Is it... the Great Demon Lord?"
It was a half-rotten corpse, with the skin and flesh of its throat almost completely shed. Its voice sounded hoarse and strained, with a strange tone like bones grinding together.
Upon hearing the Myriad Causes Corpse Buddha speak, and hearing a voice that seemed to carry a sense of doubt and melancholy, containing strong emotions, Ye Chen, Xiao Wan, Nine-Transformed Filth Dragon, and Ye Xingcai were all stunned.
The Nine-Transformed Filth Dragon showed a surprised and bewildered expression. Logically speaking, the Myriad Corpse Buddha it summoned should not have any spiritual will; it should just be a corpse puppet controlled by its own will.
But now, the Myriad Corpse Buddha seems to have its own independent will.
Ye Chen was also extremely surprised to hear the Corpse Buddha of Myriad Causes call him "Great Demon Lord".
The Corpse Buddha of Myriad Deeds seemed very disappointed; the light in his eyes dimmed considerably, and he let out a sigh that seemed to come from time immemorial, saying:
"Did I lose? In the end... I still couldn't stop this outcome."
"..."
"Yes, but the future hasn't arrived yet."
"If you are killed today, your future self will never be born."
"There is still hope for redemption. You sinner, you who have committed this sin, sleep now..."
Its voice suddenly became a duet; besides the corpse speaking, it seemed as if there was another person saying the exact same words.
This other voice seemed to burst forth from its soul. Compared to the corpse's hoarse and dry voice, this voice was clear and loud, and it also had a solemn and majestic aura, like the Buddha in the high heavens preaching the great scriptures.
In the sky, there were indeed waterfalls made of scriptures, cascading down.
However, the scriptures were black, which was quite eerie.
The moment the scripture waterfall cascaded down, the Corpse Buddha of Myriad Causes also made its move. Without needing the Nine-Transformed Filth Dragon's command, it swung out arms, some pale and some withered, crackling as they grew longer and longer, their hands and claws as sharp as swords, tearing through the air towards Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was shocked. Even in his prime, facing the Myriad Corpse Buddha was extremely difficult, let alone now that he was weak.
But somehow, Ye Chen had a sudden inspiration. As he held Xiao Wan's hand, he felt as if his soul had connected with the Great Heavenly Emperor.
"Great Heavenly Emperor!"
Ye Chen roared to the sky, and the world above rumbled with thunder, as if someone had answered his call.
Whoa—
A blazing golden light tore a slit open in the sky, revealing the chaotic heavens.
A figure flew down from the high sky.
It was a young man dressed in white robes, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, extremely handsome. He held a long sword and brought down the power of wind and thunder from heaven and earth.
Compared to the towering body of the Myriad Corpse Buddha, which stands a thousand feet tall, this young man appears extremely small. Yet, the sword in his hand emits a dazzling golden light that causes even the chaos of heaven and earth to tremble.
The golden light carried a powerful imperial aura.
He is the "Emperor"!
Click-click——
The arms that the Corpse Buddha of Myriad Causes had unleashed were severed in mid-air by this young man.
The vast and magnificent imperial sword light crushed all the severed arms into dust in mid-air.
The Corpse Buddha of Ten Thousand Industries suddenly had more than a dozen arms severed, causing it to lose its balance and fall backward with a loud thud, kicking up clouds of dust.
"who!"
The Nine-Tailed Dragon was terrified. The white-robed figure that descended from the sky was too fast and the sword aura was too fierce. It had no time to react at all.
Or rather, even if they reacted, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Even the Corpse Buddha of Ten Thousand Causes had its arm severed.
A young man in white robes, holding a sword, landed in front of Ye Chen.
When Ye Chen saw this man, his eyes widened in disbelief.
This looks so much like that person!
"Senior Ren, it's you! I've finally met you!"
Ye Chen had considered that the Great Heavenly Emperor's Dharma form would descend, but he never expected that the person who descended would be Ren Feifan.
Although this person looks like a teenager, much younger than Ren Feifan, his facial features, appearance, demeanor and spirit are exactly the same as Ren Feifan's. Who else could it be but him?
The white-robed youth looked puzzled upon seeing Ye Chen and said softly:
"You called me... Senior Ren?"
"Who are you, and who am I?"
Ye Chen said, "I am Ye Chen, and you are Ren Feifan!"
The white-robed youth murmured, "Ren Feifan... is that my name?"
"This name seems nice."
Ye Chen replied, "Yes!"
The white-robed youth's expression remained bewildered, and he murmured as if in a dream, "My name..."
"His great path will be recorded in history, his extraordinary name will resonate through the ages... Interesting..."
He wanted to say something more, but his figure, like a bubble, slowly dispersed and disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, the white-robed youth vanished.
His appearance was like a dream.
But just now he descended from the sky, so fierce and ruthless, defeating the Myriad Corpse Buddha with a single sword strike. The astonishing sword light even left a huge ravine thousands of feet long on the earth!
This ravine is like a scar on the earth. On one side of the ravine are the Myriad Corpse Buddha and the Nine-Transformed Filthy Dragon, two evil gods whose world is still dark and chaotic.
But on the other side of the ravine, where Ye Chen, Xiao Wan, and Ye Xingcai were, the chaotic energy had dissipated, and even the sky had returned to its pure blue, and the earth was clear and bright.
The white-robed youth's sword strike was terrifyingly powerful, annihilating chaos, splitting heaven and earth, creating a bright and clear world, a blue sky world without darkness and chaos. The sky was neither dark nor pure white, but the clearest and purest blue.
Under this blue sky, Ye Chen seemed to receive some kind of blessing, and his weak body regained some strength.
"Senior Ren!"
He was shocked to see the white-robed youth vanish into thin air. He reached out to grab him, but grasped nothing.
He now has a strong desire to go beyond the world!
Rescue Ren Feifan from the Tomb of the Gods!
Throughout this journey, it was Senior Ren who protected him!
No matter how powerful the forces behind the Divine Tomb are, he must rescue Senior Ren!
More importantly, this young man in white robes represents the future and mystery!
Only by finding Senior Ren can we solve more mysteries.
