Chapter 12486 Another breakthrough!
Even a single page of the Sacred Texts is incredibly precious; the value and power of the complete Sacred Texts are immeasurable.
Re-creating the Sacred Book is incredibly difficult; even the vast amount of holy water in the Heavenly Sacred Bottle, as boundless as the ocean, is insufficient.
Ye Chen didn't expect to be able to regenerate the entire Sacred Language Book. One page was enough for now. Moreover, this one page had already made Tai Chu and the Abyss extremely wary, and they wanted to trigger a heavenly tribulation to kill him.
If one wishes to cultivate the entire sacred book, the price of provoking endless heavenly tribulations would be far too high.
“The Sea of Corpses in the Ghost Realm is isolated from the world. If I use the sacred scripture here, as long as I don’t go too far, I shouldn’t attract a heavenly calamity.”
"If we could use the Sacred Book to wash away the demonic energy of the Bone Ancestor and restore his consciousness, that would be the best outcome."
Ye Chen thought that he could also use Heavenly Light Divine Water, but firstly, Heavenly Light Divine Water is very potent and might backfire on him if he used it.
Secondly, the Heavenly Light Divine Water and the Black Abyss Poison Spring are currently maintaining a delicate balance. If the Heavenly Light Divine Water is consumed and the Holy Light weakens, the balance may be broken. Once the Black Abyss Poison Spring runs rampant, Ye Chen will be unable to suppress it and will be devoured on the spot.
Therefore, this divine water of heavenly light should be avoided if possible.
Given Ye Chen's current cultivation level, both the Heavenly Light Divine Water and the Black Abyss Poison Spring are extremely dangerous. It's already quite difficult for him to avoid using them if possible and simply store them to maintain balance.
Ye Chen estimated that his cultivation level would need to reach at least the Abyss Realm before he could initially stabilize and control the energy of the Heavenly Light Divine Water and the Black Abyss Poison Spring.
Therefore, if we want to wash away the demonic energy of the Skeleton Ancestor, we still need to rely on the Holy Word Book and the holy water in the Heavenly Holy Bottle.
Then, Ye Chen still had a trump card, which was the Heavenly Dao of the past, the Pillar of Creation!
The Heavenly Dao on the other side of the starry sky is now the Yin-Yang Dao itself. The original Heavenly Dao Creation Pillar is now within Ye Chen's body, and Nan Hua Lao Jun has already gifted it to him.
This pillar of creation, radiating golden light, looks ancient and mysterious, but it has lost its former power.
The Pillar of Creation was once connected to the origin of the Yin-Yang Great Dao and could unleash the power of the Great Dao. But now, the Yin-Yang Great Dao itself has manifested and no longer needs to borrow the Pillar of Creation.
Therefore, the connection between the Pillar of Creation and the Great Dao was severed, and this thing went from being the supreme Heavenly Dao to an ordinary magic weapon.
However, the word "ordinary" is relative to the Heavenly Dao and the Yin-Yang Dao. In terms of quality and value, the Pillar of Creation is an incomparably top-tier existence, a top-tier divine artifact and magical treasure.
If used properly, this Pillar of Creation can also become a powerful trump card for Ye Chen!
"By wielding the Pillar of Creation, I may be influenced by Laozi and the will of the Primordial Era, and become more inclined toward the light."
"But light itself is not wrong, nor is it wrong to yearn for light."
"Besides, with my Dao heart, nothing can shake me."
Ye Chen looked at the Pillar of Creation, pondered for a while, and then, without hesitation, bit his fingertip, dripped out his essence blood, and merged it into the Pillar of Creation, refining it directly.
After inheriting the Daoist lineage of the Heavenly Sage, his Daoist heart became even more steadfast, and he knew with absolute clarity what he truly desired.
He wanted to become a saint. If there had to be a supreme saint in this world to judge everything, then Ye Chen hoped that the saint would be himself!
Light or darkness, they are merely tools for him to become stronger, tools to achieve the ultimate goal, and tools to become a saint!
After refining the Pillar of Creation, Ye Chen felt golden light surrounding him, and the aura of the Great Dao surged. His cultivation also broke through, and the life lamp in his dantian grew stronger, advancing to the middle stage of the third level of the Burning Lamp Realm.
"Very good, you've made a breakthrough."
Ye Chen clenched his fist in satisfaction. With the Pillar of Creation in hand, his confidence in suppressing the Skeleton Ancestor had increased.
In fact, the energy of the Pillar of Creation was enough to support Ye Chen to make further breakthroughs, but he did not rush into it, but instead took a steady and methodical approach.
After refining the Pillar of Creation, Ye Chen looked towards a corner of the Reincarnation Graveyard, where the divine sources of the Desolate Ghost Emperor, the Chaos Ancestor, and the Plague Ancestor were stored.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen extracted the divine source of the Desolate Ghost Emperor and swallowed it directly.
He had not refined the divine source of this Desolate Ghost Emperor before, for fear that he would not be able to withstand the pressure.
But now, he is confident that he has enough resources to withstand the pressure.
Having devoured the divine source of the Desolate Ghost Emperor, Ye Chen was instantly enveloped in wisps of ghostly energy, which formed shadowy claws that surrounded him.
Many of the wondrous methods of the Underworld Emperor's divine authority, such as the Nine Nether Meditation Technique, the Nine Nether Ghost Sword, the Ghostly Step, and the Parasitic Technique of Ten Thousand Ghosts, flooded into his mind.
Among these, the most valuable is naturally the Ten Thousand Ghosts Parasitic Technique.
The Parasitic Technique of Ten Thousand Ghosts allows one to parasitize one's own Dao essence within billions of ghosts. As long as demons and monsters exist in the world, one will not die and can be resurrected at any time by borrowing souls, achieving infinite rebirth.
However, this technique has a fatal weakness: if someone stabs the seventh thoracic vertebra, it's like striking a snake at its vital spot, and the victim will die instantly.
Ye Chen certainly wouldn't do what Jiang Su did, actually parasitizing his soul into billions of demons. The idea of infinite resurrection sounds tempting, but the weakness is too fatal and the side effects are too great.
However, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Parasitic Technique can also be used to control demons, and its effects are not insignificant.
Ye Chen then comprehended all the profound mysteries of the Underworld Emperor's divine authority.
Absorbing the divine source of the Desolate Ghost Emperor also allowed his cultivation to break through further, advancing him to the high level of the third level of the Burning Lamp Realm.
“Very good, I am now the new Underworld Emperor. Even if I cannot suppress the Skeleton Ancestor, I can at least retreat unscathed.”
Ye Chen was very satisfied.
Then, he thought of the method of reincarnation.
He has already mastered the Reincarnation Burial Technique to the fifth level, but he has yet to make any progress on the sixth level, the "Burial of Cause and Effect" realm.
The Realm of Burying Cause and Effect can bury cause and effect, and it is extremely powerful. To master it, one must have strong cultivation to support it, otherwise the body will not be able to withstand the pressure of the backlash from cause and effect.
Ye Chen possessed extraordinary comprehension; he had long ago grasped the profound mysteries of the "Burial of Cause and Effect" method.
But understanding something is one thing; being able to master it is another.
He estimated that to master the power of "Burial of Cause and Effect," one would need at least the power of the Divine Illumination Realm. He was currently only at the Burning Lamp Realm, and was still one level away from the Abyss Realm.
Achieving divine enlightenment is a distant dream.
"As the Heavenly Venerable Xin said before, if one can stimulate one's blood and activate one's potential, one can break through the cultivation technique instantly."
Ye Chen murmured softly, touching his heart.
After inheriting the divine authority of the Heavenly Heart Venerable, his understanding of human nature became even more profound.
The human heart has boundless potential; human will can overcome nature. When the human will is unleashed and ignited, all sorts of miracles can be created.
Theoretically speaking, if he wants to reach the level of "burying cause and effect", he needs to have at least the cultivation level of the Divine Illumination Realm.
However, if one pours their heart and soul into something, disregarding the cost and unleashing their potential, there is a chance to directly break through the cultivation technique and ignore the suppression of the realm.
However, this is a method of forcing growth and mortgaging the future, with significant side effects. It's equivalent to borrowing from the future, and loans must be repaid.
After he masters the technique, he may need to put in several times the effort to make up for the deficit of his future.
"Forget it, stimulating one's potential and mortgaging one's future is still too dangerous."
Ye Chen thought about it and decided to suppress his thoughts for the time being, without intending to attempt to break through to the "Burial of Cause and Effect" realm.
With his current resources, even if he couldn't defeat the Skeleton Ancestor, he could still retreat unscathed; there was no need to risk his life.
Then, Ye Chen took out an ancient scroll painting, which was the "Autumn Sky and Cold Rain" painting given to him by Su Yunli, a treasure of the Qiu Ming family in the past.
This painting of autumn sky and cold rain bears the soul imprint of the ancestor of the Qiu Ming family, which has become one with the painting. To remove this imprint, the painting must be completely destroyed.
Ye Chen could sense that a soul was residing within the painting, which was likely the soul of the Qiu Ming family's ancestor.
Sensing Ye Chen's gaze, the soul shrank into the depths of the painting, lurking like a venomous snake.
"Don't be so nervous, I don't have any plans to suppress you for the time being."
Ye Chen smiled and put away the Autumn Sky and Cold Rain painting.
This ancient scroll painting cannot be used for the time being, but he is not in a hurry. With the current means, it is almost enough to deal with the Skeleton Ancestor.
As long as nothing unexpected happens on Chi Lianjun's side, he can successfully create the cage to imprison the Skeleton Ancestor.
Ye Chen also has trump cards such as the Black Sun Heavenly Emperor Star and the Starry Sky Dao Book, which are more than enough to deal with the Skeleton Ancestor.
A day later, the cage was completed.
Chi Lianjun did not disappoint Ye Chen. The cage he created using the Eclipse Demon Wheel as raw material was called the "Eclipse Cage".
The entire Eclipse Cage looks like a large iron cage, constructed from black steel bars, with many sealing runes carved on it.
"Ye Chen, the cage has been built, but it can only hold the Skeleton Ancestor for a quarter of an hour at most."
"You should handle this carefully. This is all the help I can give you."
Chi Lianjun was panting, his face pale. He had clearly put in a lot of effort to create the Eclipse Cage in just one day.
"Okay, thank you, Master!"
Ye Chen's eyes lit up as he put away the Eclipse Cage. With this Eclipse Cage, his confidence in suppressing the Skeleton Ancestor was greatly enhanced.
With everything prepared, Ye Chen summoned Emperor Bingli and said, "Miss Su, we can set off now. Is your body up to the task?"
Ye Chen looked at the Ice Empress and saw that she still had the appearance of an ice queen, but Ye Chen could clearly feel that her icy aura was not as smooth and stable as it had been a day before.
"Yes, I told you, I can last at least three days."
Emperor Bingli said calmly, then looked at the golden Suanni, "But this Suanni might not be able to hold on much longer."
At this moment, the golden lion looked somewhat listless. The Ghostly Corpse Sea World was filled with dense demonic energy from the Corpse Ancestor, and it was almost unable to hold on.
"Little one, go back and rest."
Ye Chen put away the golden lion and handed it over to the Flowing Light Empress for safekeeping.
Then, Ye Chen's gaze turned to the sea outside the isolated island.
Perhaps sensing his intent to suppress, the demonic and corpse energy that filled the world around the Skeleton Ancestor grew even denser, and rows of enormous skeletons emerged from the seawater, rising up like mountains with a thunderous roar.
The skeleton, black and purple in color and filled with filth and malevolent energy, was covered with a large amount of white hair, many of which had broken and were no longer able to hold the skeleton together.
This was clearly the Azure Silk Fairy Yan Xueci, who was about to lose control of the Skeleton Ancestor. It was also the Skeleton Ancestor who sensed the threat from Ye Chen and was struggling angrily.
Once the Skeleton Ancestor breaks free of his restraints, the first person he will kill is Ye Chen!
"Set off."
Without wasting words, Ye Chen and Emperor Bingli transformed into two streaks of light, breaking through the sea surface and diving towards the location of the Skeleton Ancestor.
"Return safely, Lord of Reincarnation!"
Master Wan Gu waved his arm behind Ye Chen, bidding him farewell.
Ye Chen and Emperor Bingli dived into the sea. The deeper they went, the thicker the demonic energy of the Skeleton Ancestor became, like ink. Every drop of seawater carried the rotten, fishy smell of the Skeleton Ancestor.
Ye Chen used the Yaochi Golden Heart Pearl and the Primordial Azure Lotus Platform to clear the way, and finally, he arrived at a deep abyss-like area at the bottom of the sea, where he saw an incomparably magnificent sight.
In the deep abyss, hundreds of millions of white bones stood like pillars, forming a site resembling a giant altar.
Ye Chen saw the Skeleton Ancestor in the center of the altar-like field. The Skeleton Ancestor no longer had human form; it presented an extremely exaggerated giant skeletal structure, thousands of feet tall, its entire form resembling a skeletal mountain range, covered with filthy and unclean things.
At the head of the skeleton was a huge skull with green will-o'-the-wisps burning in its eye sockets. Although the skeleton's human form was no longer recognizable, Ye Chen recognized it at a glance upon seeing the skeleton and those green will-o'-the-wisps.
That was the ancestor of skeletons.
Twisted, corrupted, and corrupted, the skeletal progenitor is completely demonized!
This giant skeleton is wrapped with countless strands of snow-white hair, which are the divine essence of the fairy Yan Xueci.
Yan Xueci herself stood alone in front of the Skeleton Ancestor. Compared to the Skeleton Ancestor's massive, mountain-like skeleton, her figure appeared incredibly small. Blood seeped from her red eyes, her face was pale, and her three thousand feet of white hair cascaded out like a waterfall, forming ropes that tightly bound the Skeleton Ancestor's skeleton.
However, due to the constant struggle of the Skeleton Ancestor, much of his white hair had broken off, and Yan Xueci struggled to hold on.
"Roar……"
From within the skeletal progenitor's throat, low, beast-like roars continuously emanated. Completely corrupted, he had lost all consciousness and reason, retaining only the instinct for killing and destruction.
Upon sensing the arrival of Ye Chen and Emperor Bingli, he reacted as if he had smelled a dangerous beast. His bones cracked and popped, and he struggled even more violently, with strands of white hair breaking off at an accelerated pace.
Click!Click!
Suddenly, two white bones broke off and transformed into sharp bone spears, shooting fiercely towards Ye Chen and Emperor Bingli.
Emperor Bingli snorted and activated the Winter Pearl, releasing a torrent of cold water that froze the surrounding seawater and the two bone spears.
"Grandma Ice, is...is that you?"
Yan Xueci spoke weakly, looking up at Ye Chen and Emperor Bingli with empty eyes.
Alone here, binding the Skeleton Ancestor, she was almost exhausted of her divine source, her whole body was numb, only instinct and will were supporting her, her vision was completely blurred, and she could not even see Ye Chen and the Ice Glass Emperor clearly.
"Good child, it's Grandma who's here!"
"Your mother-in-law is here to save you!"
Emperor Bingli looked at Yan Xueci with concern in his eyes. With a shout, he activated the Winter Pearl to its fullest extent, and a shocking cold wave instantly erupted, causing the massive skeleton of the Skeleton Ancestor to freeze and be frozen into an ice sculpture.
"Lord of Reincarnation, make your move!"
Emperor Bingli gritted his teeth and made hand seals to maintain the operation of the Winter Pearl, and said to Ye Chen.
"Ok!"
Ye Chen's gaze sharpened, and without saying a word, he immediately swung the Heavenly Emperor Sword, aiming for the head of the Skeleton Ancestor.
"Roar!"
The skeleton ancestor was enraged by the cold air. With a roar, half of the billions of bones standing like pillars in the sky around him collapsed instantly.
The collapsed bones, cracking and twisting, transformed into countless bone spears, bone arrows, bone demons, skeletal monsters, skeleton monsters, and so on, all rushing towards Ye Chen and Emperor Bingli.
The skeleton of the ancestor, as well as its head, began to ignite with black flames. It was actually burning its own divine source, erupting wildly!
For the Pillar God, burning divine source comes at a huge cost. Previously, the Skeleton Ancestor was bound by Yan Xueci and had not burned his divine source, but now that he saw Ye Chen and Emperor Bingli, he immediately fought desperately, obviously feeling a fatal threat.
With the burning of the Ancestral God Source, the freezing of the Winter Pearl and the binding of Yan Xueci's white hair were both broken.
He had other options to escape, but burning his divine source would have been too costly, tantamount to mutual destruction, so he didn't do it.
But now, his divine source has ignited, and his power has exploded.
The divine punishment of the Pillar God Contract descended first, followed by the Great Calamity of Burning Heaven, which surged upon the Skeleton Ancestor. Crimson flames erupted, and the Skeleton Ancestor let out a painful roar.
Burning one's divine source in this way not only depletes one's own life essence, but also attracts the power of heavenly punishment and calamity!
Even the demonized ancestor of the skeletons has the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and he will not do this unless absolutely necessary.
As the Ancestral Bone Divine Source burned, countless bone spears, bone arrows, bone demons, and skeletons attacked Ye Chen and Emperor Bing Li.
Seeing the terrifying scene before him, Ye Chen's pupils contracted sharply. Fortunately, he was prepared and remained calm in the face of danger.
"The Eternal Wall, rise!"
With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen immediately summoned the Eternal Wall. The massive wall crashed down, crushing the numerous bone demon skeletons in an instant.
The eternal protective aura contained within the giant wall was also released instantly, forming a special protective aura that shielded Ye Chen and Emperor Bingli, blocking all the bone spears and arrows that were shot at them.
This eternal wall is a creation of the Great Dao, and its value is immeasurable.
Ye Chen's cultivation has improved significantly, and he has been able to gain initial control over the Eternal Wall. He increasingly feels the power and mystery of the Eternal Wall. This is definitely not something that the Heavenly Emperor alone could create. There must be a higher level of power behind it!
Ye Chen estimated that the birth of the Eternal Wall was mostly related to the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss, but in the end, this power was stolen by the Emperor.
There are four Eternal Walls. Ye Chen only obtained one, yet it possessed boundless power. When the giant wall descended, a large number of skeletal monsters were crushed. The protective aura emanating from the giant wall was comparable to Vishnu's divine authority!
