Chapter 12488 Blood Phoenix Emperor
Ye Chen snapped out of his daze and, seeing Yan Xueci's pale face, didn't dare to delay and immediately walked over.
Yan Xueci's once radiant black hair was now a withered, snow-white color, her face was deathly pale, and she was barely breathing.
"It seems like she's not going to make it."
Ye Chen's face darkened. Looking at Yan Xueci's appearance, he felt that she was about to wither away and die.
Emperor Bingli said, "Please save her!"
Ye Chen hummed in agreement, pried open Yan Xueci's mouth, lowered his head and channeled a breath of spiritual energy into her mouth, then activated the Abundance Secret Technique and the Heavenly Light Divine Medicine Technique to try to treat her.
Under Ye Chen's treatment, Yan Xueci's delicate body trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes and woke up.
Emperor Bingli exclaimed with delight, "She's awake!"
Ye Chen felt no joy whatsoever, for this was merely a final burst of energy before death.
Previously, Yan Xueci had almost exhausted her divine source in order to bind the Skeleton Ancestor. Now, the remaining divine source is rapidly disappearing, and there is no way to stop it.
"Grandma Ice, the Lord of Reincarnation..."
Yan Xueci's eyes were unfocused. Upon seeing the two of them, she called out softly.
Empress Bingli said, "Child, it's good that you're awake. Grandma will take you home."
Yan Xueci smiled bitterly and said, "I can't go on, Mother-in-law, I'm about to die."
"Actually, I died a hundred years ago. At that time, Su Wujiu of the Qiu Ming family injured me and forced me into a spatial storm. I fell into this world. I remember it all. I died then."
Emperor Bingli's expression changed, and he said, "The Qiu Ming family, Su Wujiu? Grandma will avenge you!"
Yan Xueci said weakly, "No need, Grandma, you...you can take me home and bury me under the frozen waterfall in the dead of winter."
“I died a hundred years ago. It was the hair of the Green Silk Fairy that parasitized me and resurrected me. At that time, the Green Silk Fairy was also dead. She was killed by the Blood Phoenix Emperor and Cang Li, the high priest of White Bone Island.”
"Before she died, the Fairy of Green Silk killed Cang Li, leaving only a single strand of her hair, which drifted down and became attached to me."
"Hmm, did she possess my body and return to life, or did I borrow her power to revive?"
"I can't tell whether I am Yan Xueci or Qing Si Fairy anymore. Many of my memories are confused. Only now, as I am about to die, have I become a little clearer."
She spoke a lot in one breath, afraid that if she didn't speak, she would never have the chance to say it again.
Emperor Bingli said, "Child, stop talking and get some rest."
Yan Xueci said, "I'm sorry, Mother-in-law. I just regained my memories, so I couldn't help but say a few more words. Alas, it's all in the past now, and everything has returned to dust."
"Unfortunately, my divine source is exhausted, and my laws are about to collapse. I don't even have the right to be devoured."
"Lord of Reincarnation, I can no longer grant you any authority. I only hope that you and my mother-in-law can take me back to the Winter Family for burial."
After saying this, Yan Xueci closed her eyes and died.
Her divine source was completely exhausted, and her laws were about to be obliterated.
The divine source is the source of divine power, while the laws are the fundamental laws of heaven and earth.
Generally speaking, even if a god dies, the laws will not be easily erased.
For example, the Nightmare Ancestor died, but the Nightmare Law still exists. As long as the law exists, even if the hope is slim, the Nightmare Ancestor still has the possibility of being resurrected.
But if even the laws are erased, then there will be no possibility of resurrection.
Yan Xueci's law is a very special primordial law; she is the Green Silk Fairy, the hair of the primordial beginning.
Her laws are being obliterated, which means that the primordial laws will be damaged, and the power of the light faction will be greatly weakened.
Her confrontation with the Demonized Corpse Ancestor was essentially a confrontation between the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss, and in the end, the Abyss clearly prevailed.
The power of darkness is about to annihilate the laws of light.
"child!"
Emperor Bingli gritted his teeth, knowing that once the laws were destroyed, Yan Xueci would never be able to be resurrected.
She hurriedly activated the Winter Pearl, releasing a torrent of cold air that condensed into an ice coffin, completely sealing Yan Xueci inside.
She also froze the extinguished laws of light.
"She's dead..."
Ye Chen could no longer sense Yan Xueci's presence; she was dead. Her divine source had dissipated, leaving only a wisp of light, a law that hadn't been completely extinguished yet, but was nearing its end.
"Lord of Reincarnation, can you revive her using the Fragments of Impure Earth?"
Emperor Bingli asked hurriedly.
Ye Chen paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't do it."
Yan Xueci's existence is too special. She is not only one of the seventy-two pillar gods, but also a primordial source god from the beginning. Such an existence is too special, and even the fragments of the Impure World cannot revive her.
Even ordinary pillar gods cannot be resurrected by the reanimation fragments, let alone a primordial god.
Emperor Bingli's gaze shifted, and he murmured:
"The Spring Rain family has a method of reviving people with spring water, which can bring people back to life. Perhaps we can ask the Spring Rain family to try it out."
She paused, then her face filled with worry: "But such a heaven-defying method comes at a huge price. How could they possibly perform it for outsiders?"
Ye Chen asked, "Are you going to take Miss Yan back to the Rainbow Rain Realm?"
"I..." Emperor Bingli wanted to speak, but suddenly felt completely exhausted and collapsed into Ye Chen's arms.
The battle with the Skeleton Ancestor had taken a heavy toll on her, and witnessing Yan Xueci's death filled her with intense grief and agitation. She could no longer hold on and fainted.
Chi chi chi——
A wisp of icy mist emanated from her body, condensing behind her and finally slowly transforming into a statue of an ice and snow beauty—her molted body.
Her body shrank, and she returned to Su Yunli's appearance, delicate and pure.
Ye Chen embraced her and poured his spiritual energy into her body.
After a while, Su Yunli woke up and saw Ye Chen's face, and then saw the ice coffin next to her. The ice coffin contained Yan Xueci's corpse, who looked as if she was just sleeping.
She froze for a moment, then her eyes reddened, tears streamed down her face, and she buried her head in Ye Chen's chest, sobbing softly.
She and Ye Chen ventured into the Ghostly Sea of Corpses, intending to rescue Yan Xueci, but in the end, Yan Xueci still died.
Ye Chen sighed, gently put his arm around Su Yunli, and patted her back to comfort her.
After a long while, Su Yunli calmed down a bit. She looked up at Ye Chen with pleading eyes, still sobbing slightly, and said:
"Brother, I want to revive Xueci, can you help me?"
Ye Chen thought to himself that the greatest contributor to resolving the chaos caused by the Skeleton Ancestor was Yan Xueci.
She sacrificed herself for this, and if there were a chance to revive her, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't want to miss it. Looking at Su Yunli's pitiful appearance, he felt even more sorry for her, so he raised his hand and gently stroked her face, saying:
"Yes, I'll help you."
Su Yunli stopped sobbing and said, "Alright, brother, can you... can you come back to the Rainbow Rain Realm with me? I need to ask the Spring Rain Clan for help so that I might be able to revive Xue Ci."
In the Rainbow Rain Realm, there are four major families: Spring Rain, Summer Rain, Autumn Rain, and Winter Rain. The Spring Rain Family is proficient in the art of rejuvenation and can even bring the dead back to life. Su Yunli placed her hopes on the Spring Rain Family.
She has been reborn after her transformation and now only has the cultivation level of the first level of the Burning Lamp Realm. Although she still has many trump cards in hand, and can deal with the many intertwined causes and effects when she returns to the Rainbow Rain Realm, she is still a little apprehensive.
She wanted Ye Chen's company; as long as Ye Chen was by her side, she felt she had boundless strength.
"Back to the Rainbow Rain Realm?"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment. He realized that he had a huge conflict with the Four Heavenly Gates, especially after the Dragon Competition, which further exacerbated the rift between them.
Furthermore, he inherited the physical body and authority of the Longevity Emperor, who is a deity revered in the Rainbow Rain Realm. His actions are tantamount to usurpation.
Throughout the Rainbow Rain Realm, there are likely many powerful figures who will be hostile to him.
"I will conceal my identity and accompany you back to the Rainbow Rain Realm."
Ye Chen looked at Yan Xueci's ice coffin again, pondered for a while, and then spoke to Su Yunli.
Su Yunli said, "There's no need to hide it anymore, brother. Besides, with your status and aura, it probably wouldn't be easy for you to hide it anyway."
"Don't worry, I am the patriarch of the Winter Clan. With me protecting you, no one will dare to harm you."
As she said this, she puffed out her chest, looking quite proud.
Ye Chen glanced at the icy and snowy molted body behind her, thinking about how she had previously appeared as an ice queen and indeed seemed quite powerful, and said, "That's good. With you, the Ice Empress, protecting me, I can rest assured."
Su Yunli hummed in agreement, pointed to the Ice and Snow Magic Sheath, and said, "You should take this magic sheath back. It's too cold, brother. I'm cold." As she spoke, she shrank her body and then simply hugged Ye Chen, snuggling into her arms.
Ye Chen was taken aback and asked, "When you return to the Rainbow Rain Realm, don't you need to fuse with this Dharma Transformation?"
Su Yunli said, "No need. I will go back in this form. If I linger over the Dharma body that I severed before, I will surely mislead the path."
"In this life, I will forge a new path, but I can no longer linger in the past."
She also put the Winter Pearl back into Ye Chen's hand, indicating that she was breaking with the past and no longer had any lingering feelings.
Ye Chen silently watched her for a while, and finally put away the Ice and Snow Manifestation and the Winter Bead, saying, "Let's go back first."
"I'll keep this ice coffin for now."
Ye Chen looked at Yan Xueci's ice coffin, fearing it would melt, so he put it into the Reincarnation Graveyard and placed it next to the ice and snow statue to keep the cold air solidified.
Su Yunli hummed in agreement and gently took Ye Chen's hand. Now she would listen to Ye Chen in everything.
Ye Chen led her back to the desolate ruins of White Bone Island. When the Ten Thousand Bone Master saw the two return, he had already glimpsed the secrets of heaven. He sighed and said nothing more.
As night fell, Ye Chen meditated alone in his room.
He and Su Yunli had gone through life and death together this time, and their relationship had greatly improved. In fact, it wouldn't hurt for them to sleep together, as the fusion of yin and yang would greatly benefit their cultivation.
However, with Yan Xueci's body still warm, neither of them had such thoughts.
"I wonder if the Heavenly Mother has any way to save Miss Yan."
Ye Chen thought to himself that he would ask about it after he went out tomorrow.
At this moment, he felt a slight itch throughout his body, as if ants were crawling all over his bones.
This is a sign that the body is undergoing continuous transformation after devouring the skeletal ancestor.
Ye Chen's skeleton is now the "Primordial Divine Remains," possessing immense power.
He is not the Son of Light; he already shows signs of replacing the Primordial One and becoming the new Supreme One!
"With my current strength, I should be able to refine the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star."
Ye Chen pondered to himself that the last star aperture of his current Seven Star Meridians of Reincarnation was inlaid with the "Black Sun Heavenly Emperor Star," which was mainly a symbol of the authority of the Black Sun Calamity Ancestor, and not the actual Reincarnation Destiny Star.
Ye Chen wanted to embed the true Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star into it, so that his Cycle of Reincarnation could be further perfected.
He even had the opportunity to disregard the limitations of his cultivation level and directly break through the Samsara Burial Technique, cultivating to the sixth level, "Burial of Cause and Effect."
Thinking this, Ye Chen took a deep breath, emptied his mind, and focused his inner energy on his meridians.
The Seven Star Meridians of Reincarnation are imprinted in his meridians, with the last star aperture located in his brain.
He dug out the Black Sun Heavenly Emperor Star from his brain and released it back into the starry sky of the Reincarnation Graveyard.
Then, the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star, which was suspended in the starry sky, was transferred to the brain and embedded into the Star Aperture.
The true Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star is still shrouded in a layer of gray mist. Ye Chen used the aura of the gray mist to envelop this star in the past.
This natal star is filled with the terrifying and blazing power of the Heavenly Emperor's divine sun. In terms of peak power, it is even comparable to the Sun God's authority of the Black Sun Calamity Ancestor!
"The Heavenly Ancestor is truly amazing; he was actually able to create a divine object like the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star."
"Shouldn't this also be considered a creation of the Great Dao?"
"The Heavenly Ancestor wanted to create a sun, a sun even more glorious than the Sun God, to illuminate this world."
"With my current cultivation level, it is difficult for me to directly absorb the energy of the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star. However, I can restore the Destiny Star to its rightful place and complete the laws of the Cycle of Reincarnation."
Ye Chen looked at the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star and felt a surge of admiration.
Without a doubt, this Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star is a divine object comparable to the Eternal Wall and the Starry Sky Dao Book.
Such divine objects can only be created by the Great Dao. They rely on their own strong desires to touch the Great Dao, borrow or steal its power, and shape what they want.
From a certain perspective, the four fragments of the abyss—the Impure Earth, the Gray Mist, the Frenzied Devourer, and the Burning Heaven—can also be considered creations of the Great Dao.
Even the seventy-two pillar gods themselves are creations of the Great Dao.
At that moment, Ye Chen embedded the entire Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star into the Star Aperture of his brain, allowing the Destiny Star to return to its proper place and completely complete the Seven Star Meridians of Reincarnation.
With a loud boom, even though he was enveloped in gray mist and Ye Chen did not deliberately absorb the energy of the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star, the return of the Destiny Star to its rightful place and the resonance of the Seven Stars still caused a strong tremor in Ye Chen's mind.
A solar storm swept out, raging from his mind to his entire body. The scorching and terrifying heat instantly plunged him into purgatory.
To inherit the supreme sun, the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star, one must first withstand the sun's temperature!
If this terrifying heat had been on Ye Chen yesterday, he would probably have been roasted alive in an instant.
But now, his bones have completely transformed, and he possesses the "Primordial Divine Remains." The high temperature raged within his body, and the "Primordial Divine Remains" automatically emitted a radiant glow, releasing a sacred aura that instantly blocked the high temperature.
Ye Chen did not have too much trouble withstanding the shock brought about by the return of the Destiny Star. The high temperature of the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star even evaporated some of the dark impurities contained in the "Primordial Divine Remains".
“Very good, very good. This ‘Primordial Divine Remains’ is indeed powerful.”
"With the star of destiny in its rightful place, my cycle of reincarnation has become even more powerful."
Ye Chen clenched his fist, feeling his strength increase significantly. He still enveloped the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star in gray mist, without absorbing its energy. He simply allowed the Destiny Star to return to its place and complete the cycle of reincarnation.
Even so, his cultivation level still broke through, directly advancing to the fourth level of the Burning Lamp Realm, mid-stage.
With the completion of the Law of Reincarnation, Ye Chen's mastery of the Dao of Reincarnation has deepened further.
"I've mastered the sixth level of the Burial of Cause and Effect, the Reincarnation Tomb Burial Technique, right?"
Ye Chen opened his palm and felt that all the causes and effects in the world were in his palm. He could see the causes and effects as clearly as the lines on his palm.
However, limited by his cultivation level, he is not yet able to annihilate all the causes and effects of the heavens.
However, he can sever the karmic ties that bind him!
For example, if the Skeleton Ancestor hadn't died and had actually wreaked havoc on the starry sky, then Ye Chen would also be guilty, and part of the sins and blood debts committed by the Skeleton Ancestor would be attributed to him, causing disaster and chaos, and even triggering a heavenly tribulation.
However, after breaking through the Reincarnation Law, Ye Chen mastered the "Burial of Cause and Effect" method, which allows him to directly sever the causal threads on his body. In this way, the calamity of the Skeleton Ancestor will have nothing to do with him.
If he had mastered the wonderful method of "burying karma" earlier, he wouldn't have even triggered a heavenly tribulation in the Land of No Worries. He could have buried all his past sins and karma.
"So, in the future, when I use the Sacred Book, I can also bury the related causes and effects, so that I won't trigger a heavenly tribulation."
Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he quickly realized the power of this "Burial of Cause and Effect" method.
However, cause and effect are intertwined; every cause has its effect. Planting a seed but then cutting off the possible future outcome is to defy fate, which is ultimately an act against the will of heaven.
This method of "burying cause and effect" should not be used lightly.
……
The next morning, Ye Chen woke up and went out to see Su Yunli.
After a night's rest, both of them felt much more relaxed and hugged each other as soon as they met.
The term "early morning" is merely a way of referring to one's biological clock and bodily order. In the already destroyed Ghostly Corpse Sea world, there is no distinction between morning and night.
However, as the skeletal ancestor was devoured and the demonic aura dissipated, a considerable amount of light from the outer starry sky was able to penetrate in.
Under the soft glow of starlight and moonlight, Su Yunli's pure face appeared delicate and charming. Her eyes were still a little red from crying yesterday, and her thin lips were also red, making her look pitiful and touching.
Ye Chen's heart stirred, and he wanted to kiss her, but then he saw the starlight suddenly dim, and a mysterious blood-red light flew down from the sea of stars.
"Who?"
Ye Chen immediately became alert and looked up at the sky. He saw that the blood-red light was coming very fast, but it did not completely fall down. Instead, it lingered in the air and transformed into a human figure.
The man was shirtless, with blood-red markings branded on his skin. Ye Chen's gaze was immediately drawn to him.
The man had a strong, muscular physique, with muscles so perfectly sculpted that they seemed not to be human flesh and blood, but rather a pure blend of the essence of heaven and earth. Ye Chen had never seen such perfect, strong, and crystalline muscles before, as if the man himself was radiating light, with each muscle exuding a majestic and cold power.
"Blood Phoenix Emperor!"
Almost instantly, Ye Chen discerned the man's identity.
With muscles like that and a physique like that, it could only belong to the Blood Phoenix Emperor!
The Blood Phoenix Emperor was formed from the flesh and blood of the Primordial Era.
Only the flesh and blood of the beginning of time could be so perfect and so powerful.
That was not flesh and blood that mortals and ordinary gods could possess; it was the flesh and blood of the supreme. Just one glance at it was enough to give people a tremendous shock. Those perfect muscle lines were enough to make people reminisce for a hundred years.
