Chapter 12494 Extreme Sword Technique
The matter was tentatively settled: Ye Chen would continue to keep the ice coffin, and Yan Xueci would not be buried for the time being, awaiting the opportunity to be resurrected.
Ye Chen and Su Yunli settled down in Yan Family Fort.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Su Yunli pulled Ye Chen to a secluded spot in the backyard. She looked at Ye Chen with pitiful eyes, gently biting her lip, and softly called out, "Brother, give me a kiss."
She had just been incredibly dignified and noble in front of others, but now, in front of Ye Chen, she was acting like a weak and pitiful little girl.
"What's wrong? Is your spiritual energy being used up too much?"
Ye Chen smiled. Su Yunli had been maintaining the appearance of a goddess, which must have greatly depleted her energy. Her face was pale and her hands were cold.
"Hmm..." Su Yunli nodded somewhat awkwardly.
Ye Chen smiled, put one arm around her slender waist, gently stroked her hair with the other, kissed her, and transferred his yang energy to her.
At this moment, Ye Chen's yang energy was too depleted, and Su Yunli's yin energy entered too much. He felt a chill in his body, and the imbalance of yin and yang made him feel quite uncomfortable.
However, in order to nourish Su Yunli, it's okay for him to suffer a little loss now; this loss of yang energy is still within his tolerance range.
As night deepened, Ye Chen was alone in his room, recovering and meditating. Thinking of Su Yunli, he pondered:
"I never imagined that this little vixen would become a pillar god. I can no longer afford to exploit her."
Originally, Ye Chen thought that after Su Yunli was reborn, she would be a pure Burning Lamp Realm martial artist. His own cultivation level was also Burning Lamp Realm. If the two of them were to combine their Yin and Yang, it would naturally be perfect.
But little did anyone expect that Su Yunli had already successfully become a god, capable of manifesting the future, instantly becoming a god, and transforming into a goddess beyond goddess.
Even if Ye Chen were to be completely drained, he still wouldn't be able to sustain the energy expenditure of someone surpassing a goddess.
He had originally hoped to share a bed and achieve harmony of yin and yang, but now that was absolutely impossible. When Su Yunli really unleashed her power, her chilling aura was terrifying, and Ye Chen couldn't withstand it.
After calming himself down, Ye Chen only wanted to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible, otherwise, with his current level of cultivation, he really couldn't support Su Yunli's absorption.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen took out the Heavenly Emperor Sword and gently stroked the blade.
"Zhulong, are you there?"
Ye Chen released his divine sense to communicate with the Crimson Candle Dragon sealed within the sword.
"Last King, I am here."
Upon hearing Ye Chen's call, the Crimson Candle Dragon immediately responded, showing its unwavering loyalty to him.
Ye Chen hummed in agreement and said, "I want to merge with you. You can directly merge into my bloodline. What do you think?"
Ye Chen plans to refine the Crimson Candle Dragon directly, but this refinement will not be an erasure, but rather a fusion process, in which he will preserve the Crimson Candle Dragon's will.
The Crimson Candle Dragon is the most powerful of the seven ancient dragons, possessing incredibly rich and intense Crimson Dragon Qi, which is also pure Yang spiritual energy.
If Ye Chen can refine the Crimson Candle Dragon, his pure Yang spiritual energy will be greatly enhanced. In the future, he can provide Su Yunli with more Yang energy, and with the balance of Yin and Yang, he will also benefit greatly.
Moreover, Su Yunli is beyond goddess level. As long as Ye Chen can afford to support her, he will essentially have a powerful trump card.
When the Crimson Candle Dragon heard that Ye Chen wanted to merge with it, it pondered for a moment and said, "My king, it is my greatest honor to merge with you."
"However, the Soul Emperor is still parasitizing me. If you merge with me, I'm afraid the Soul Emperor will then parasitize you."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Parasitism? What do I have to fear from a mere Soul Emperor?"
Having witnessed many trials and tribulations, he no longer takes the once-powerful Soul Emperor seriously.
"I have devoured more than one pillar god, not to mention the Soul Emperor."
"I'll just refine him!"
Ye Chen released the Crimson Candle Dragon. A faint wisp of black energy lingered around the Crimson Candle Dragon's fiery red body.
This faint wisp of black energy is the parasitic Soul Emperor. Compared to the beginning, the Soul Emperor's power has grown considerably.
Ye Chen could even detect the Soul Emperor's hidden resentment and hatred.
"Let's make it this way. I'll merge with you and refine the Soul Emperor along the way."
Ye Chen looked at the Crimson Candle Dragon and said.
The Crimson Candle Dragon trembled. This parasitic presence of the Soul Emperor was like a bone-deep carbuncle, extremely difficult to get rid of, and it was helpless against it.
Seeing Ye Chen's confident demeanor, it chose to believe him and nodded, saying, "Alright, Your Majesty, I will listen to you."
Without hesitation, the Crimson Candle Dragon transformed into a streak of red light and entered Ye Chen's body, directly merging with Ye Chen's bloodline.
With a loud bang, Ye Chen felt as if a volcano had erupted within his body, and the raging, fiery Crimson Dragon Qi surged and roared wildly, coursing through his meridians.
He felt as if he had fallen into lava, so he immediately sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and slowly gathered the surging Crimson Dragon Qi in his body back into his dantian.
Layer upon layer of crimson dragon energy, like waves and tides, seemed endless. Ye Chen only needed to collect a portion of the dragon energy to fill his dantian, and his meridians were so swollen they felt like they were about to burst. His cultivation level also broke through.
He quickly advanced to the peak of the fourth level of the Burning Lamp Realm!
"Your Majesty, it seems you cannot swallow me whole."
Crimson Sky Candle Dragon Path.
Its aura was too vast and terrifying, and it was connected to the Great Dao, like an inexhaustible treasure mine, while Ye Chen could only mine a few small stones at most.
Ye Chen grinned and said with a smile, "It's alright, you can settle deep within my bloodline."
He remained calm. After refining a small portion of the Crimson Dragon Qi, the remaining large amount that he couldn't absorb settled deep within his flesh and blood.
His body is divided into two layers: the outer body and the inner body. Hidden within the inner body is the body of a Heavenly Emperor Dragon King, which is in the form of a puppet.
Now, Ye Chen has deposited all the energy of the Crimson Candle Dragon deep into his flesh and blood, hiding it within his body, and merging it with the Heavenly Emperor Dragon King's body.
"Last King, it might be better for you if I merge with your blood dragon."
As the Crimson Candle Dragon spoke, it dissolved its own flesh and blood, actually attempting to combine with the Blood Dragon.
The original Blood Dragon was formed from Ye Chen's blood and qi. Later, when the physical body was rebuilt, the Crimson Candle Dragon dissolved its own flesh and blood, contributing everything it had to the Blood Dragon.
It wants to merge with the Blood Dragon.
"No! If you do that, your consciousness will dissipate!"
Ye Chen stopped him.
He did not want to sacrifice the Crimson Candle Dragon; the Crimson Candle Dragon and the Blood Dragon could coexist.
Chixiao Zhulong replied, "It's alright, my consciousness is still there, but it's hidden deep within the Blood Dragon's consciousness. I won't interfere with it."
"Your Majesty, it would be best if you remembered me, but it doesn't matter if you forgot me."
"Melting my blood, go and pursue your path, destroy the world, and create a new one."
"I hope that one day I will see the arrival of a new world."
Having said that, the Crimson Candle Dragon offered its flesh and blood, its soul, and everything else to the Blood Dragon, merging with it into one.
A crimson tide surged within Ye Chen's body, his blood and qi roared like thunder, and only one dragon remained—the Blood Dragon!
The Blood Dragon had absorbed the Thunderous Ancient Dragon and then the Crimson Candle Dragon, causing its body to expand and grow wildly. It then merged with Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Dragon Body.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Chen would not be able to control such a powerful blood dragon; its overwhelming power would crush him.
Only when Ye Chen activates the Heavenly Emperor Dragon Body can he unleash this power.
Ye Chen took several deep breaths, allowing the blood dragon to settle deep within his flesh and blood, before slowly calming the surging, explosive energy within his body.
"Phew, that's good."
"After refining the Crimson Candle Dragon, my pure yang energy has greatly increased. Letting that little vixen Su Yunli absorb a few more yang energies shouldn't be a big problem."
Ye Chen clenched his fist, feeling his power increase significantly, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then, a wisp of black energy silently entered his brain, attempting to parasitize it.
"The Soul Emperor?"
Ye Chen's lips curled into a cold smile; this wisp of black energy was none other than the Soul Emperor.
"Now that you're just a wisp of life left, do you still want to harm me?"
"Destroy yourself, and I'll give you a quick death!"
Without wasting words, Ye Chen directly activated the Reincarnation Technique. The Burial God Reincarnation Technique was activated, and a Reincarnation Disc appeared behind his head, directly strangling and devouring that wisp of black energy.
"what--"
A scream came from within the black mist, and then it fell silent completely.
In an instant, Ye Chen refined the Soul Emperor.
The formidable enemies who once posed an insurmountable challenge for him can now be refined with a mere flick of his wrist.
After refining the Soul Emperor, a dark demonic light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, and many of the Soul Emperor's divine techniques flooded into his mind.
Of all these, what interested Ye Chen the most was naturally the "Death-Defying Demon Eye".
The Death-Defying Demon Eye technique is one of the Soul Emperor's unique skills, and Ye Chen had already mastered it long ago.
Now that he has devoured the Soul Emperor, Ye Chen's understanding of the Death Demon Eye has been greatly deepened.
He was quite satisfied. With the trump cards he currently possessed, even on Rainbow Rain Realm's territory, he should have a chance of winning against the Eternal Emperor.
However, it is still very dangerous. Ye Chen will not fight the Longevity Emperor to the death until the very last moment.
The next day, Su Yunli sent people to Rain Curtain Mountain, still unwilling to give up, still wanting to ask Xi Yao to help revive Yan Xueci.
But the oracle of the rain curtain still refused, appearing determined to die rather than submit.
Su Yunli was also a little helpless. Did she really have to go and fight the Emperor of Immortality?
For several days in a row, Su Yunli kept sending people to plead with Xi Yao to help, but she was always refused.
That day, Su Yunli felt depressed and took Ye Chen to see the waterfall.
That waterfall is the most famous winter icefall in Winter Ridge, and legend has it that only the most outstanding warriors and geniuses can be buried beneath it.
Ye Chen stood before the frozen waterfall in the dead of winter. He saw the waterfall, like a white dragon, rushing down from the top of a snow-capped mountain, mixed with rolling snow and frost flowers, flowing straight down, which was very spectacular.
"It seems that we will eventually have to face off against the Emperor of Immortality."
Ye Chen looked at Su Yunli and said.
Over the past few days, he had known that pleading was fruitless, as Xi Yao remained unwilling to intervene.
Su Yunli gritted her teeth and said, "Fighting the Longevity Emperor in the Rainbow Rain Realm is extremely dangerous. Even if we win, we will probably have to pay a huge price."
After a pause, Su Yunli looked at the surging icefall before her and then said to Ye Chen,
"Brother, I want to pass on a sword technique to you. If you can master it, it should make dealing with the Eternal Emperor easier."
"But this sword is very difficult to wield."
Ye Chen looked at her and smiled, "Do you want to teach me swordsmanship? I have a high comprehension level. If you have any powerful sword techniques, just teach them to me."
Su Yunli nodded slightly, hummed in agreement, and said, "Then kiss me first."
She spoke very seriously, not in a flirtatious joke. She clearly wanted to unlock the Transcendent Divine Seal and needed Ye Chen to nourish it with Yang energy beforehand.
Ye Chen then lifted her chin, kissed her, and transferred a breath of yang energy to her.
After refining the Crimson Candle Dragon, the pure Yang energy within his body greatly increased, and the strength and richness of this breath of Yang energy surpassed that of the past.
Su Yunli's cheeks flushed instantly, her eyes widened as she looked at Ye Chen and said, "Brother, you seem to have become much tastier."
Seeing the burning intensity in her eyes, as if she wanted to devour him, Ye Chen couldn't help but twitch his lips and said, "Stop fooling around, let's get down to business. What sword technique are you going to teach me?"
Su Yunli suppressed her smile, and a wisp of icy blue divine light condensed at her fingertips, transforming into a crystal-clear ice sword.
"Brother, I want to teach you a sword technique called 'Frosty Moon Illuminating the River'."
"This sword technique has only one move. With one strike, the frosty moon shines coldly, illuminating all rivers and streams."
“The Rainbow Rain Temple has a move called Deep Cold Profound Nether Slash, which you have also mastered. That slash is extremely cold and chilling. But the ‘Frosty Moon Illuminating the River’ that I am going to pass on to you is a hundred times colder than the Deep Cold Profound Nether Slash.”
"That was the extreme cold of heaven and earth, and also the extreme cold of the human heart."
Su Yunli's voice suddenly became ethereal, like the primordial frost river and the cold moonlight shining upon it.
She suddenly leaped into the air, soaring high above the frozen waterfall in the dead of winter, and then, holding an ice sword, gracefully plummeted downwards.
With the momentum of the fall, she flicked her wrist and gently swung her sword, creating a wide, wave-like crescent-shaped sword aura, like a frosty moon falling from the sky, threatening to shatter the Milky Way into countless cold stars.
As Ye Chen looked at the Frosty Moon Sword Qi, he felt a chill that penetrated to the bone, and his vision was illuminated by the white light, making him feel as if he were about to be frozen.
The Frosty Moon Sword Qi descended and, with a hiss, struck the Winter Icefall. The massive waterfall, hundreds of feet high, instantly froze, turning the surrounding land, mountains, and trees into ice sculptures.
The icefall wasn't a real icefall; it was just a mixture of frost and snowflakes. But now, after Su Yunli's Frost Moon Sword Qi struck, the icefall was completely frozen, the water flow was completely solidified, and extreme cold was raging.
To freeze a waterfall is something any martial artist on the other side of the starry sky could do, but to unleash such extreme cold that it directly froze the heavens and the earth, freezing even the clouds in the sky, and seemingly solidifying time and space, is something that probably only Su Yunli could unleash with such extreme cold across the entire other side of the starry sky.
Ye Chen was completely unable to move, frozen stiff, with layers of solid ice and frost covering his body.
The solid ice and frost were not only from the cold air outside, but also from the chill emanating from Ye Chen himself.
That sword strike, "Frosty Moon Illuminating the River," seemed to carry a strange law that could make people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts, freezing themselves.
That was a chill that transcended the way of ice and snow, a chill that was colder than ice, colder than snow, and colder than the bitterest of colds; it was a chill that surpassed all other forms of cold.
"Brother, how are you?"
After Su Yunli finished her sword strike, she was slightly out of breath, clearly having expended considerable energy. She threw away the ice sword and quickly ran back to Ye Chen's side.
Seeing Ye Chen covered in ice, she felt anxious and scared, afraid that something might happen to him, but she didn't dare to break the ice, fearing that Ye Chen would shatter along with it.
Ye Chen's body was frozen stiff and he could hardly move. Fortunately, he had a strong foundation in cultivation and immediately mobilized the pure yang fire energy in his dantian to melt the solid ice covering his body.
A moment later, Ye Chen was finally free and breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Yunli threw herself into his arms, her eyes red, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I hurt you."
Ye Chen smiled, rubbed her head, and said, "I'm fine."
Recalling Su Yunli's astonishingly cold sword strike just now, Ye Chen was still somewhat shocked and said:
"Frosty Moon Shines Over the River, is that the sword technique you're going to teach me?"
"That's not a sword technique that could exist on the other side of the starry sky. It's very unique, and it seems to carry an unparalleled killing aura that surpasses everything. Did you create it yourself?"
Su Yunli nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, brother, I have incorporated the Dao of Transcendence into my swordsmanship and created this move."
"If you learn it, our combined swords will be invincible."
Ye Chen murmured, "The Path of Transcendence?"
He saw that Su Yunli indeed radiated a light that surpassed even the divine realm.
He pondered for a moment, savoring Su Yunli's sword movements, posture, and the flow of her aura.
Su Yunli pulled Ye Chen's hand up and pressed it against her chest, saying, "Brother, don't you know how to read minds? Look at my heart, and you'll know how to use this sword."
Ye Chen hummed in agreement, sensing her inner thoughts, and his understanding of the transcendent swordsmanship of "Frosty Moon Illuminating the River" deepened.
"I'll try."
He drew the Heavenly Emperor Sword, walked to the open space in front of him, gathered his own aura, and poured it into the Heavenly Emperor Sword. The icy laws circulated, and the sword body burst forth with coldness.
Then, he began to practice with his sword, but halfway through the swing, Ye Chen felt a chilling aura come back at him.
He hurriedly sheathed his sword and said in a deep voice:
"No."
"Your Frosty Moon Illuminating the River Sword Technique requires the manipulation of the coldest energy in the world. This coldness even originates from the Yin-Yang Dao itself. If it is unleashed to its fullest extent, it can even freeze the Pillar God!"
"With my cultivation level, I am not yet capable of unleashing such an extreme sword technique."
