Chapter 12485 Ancestor?
"This breath!"
From within the isolated islands came Hai Tianming's voice, filled with utter shock and astonishment.
"Emperor Bingli!"
"You are the Ice Emperor! The ancestor of the Frosty Winter Clan! The ancestor of that vile woman Yan Xueci?"
Hai Tianming found it unbelievable, never expecting that the legendary Ice Glass Emperor would actually come here in person.
"Ah, it is indeed the Emperor."
"Die, old man!"
Emperor Bingli's eyes were as cold as winter. He activated the Heavenly Pearl, which spun rapidly, sending out endless icy crystals that transformed into hundreds of ice swords that hurtled towards the depths of the isolated island.
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
Hundreds of ice swords cleaved through the island's restrictions, scattering large swathes of trees across the island. A scream rang out, and a figure flew out – it was Hai Tianming.
Hai Tianming's face was full of resentment and venom. His robes were ripped open by the ice sword, revealing a hideous wound with congealed blood. He looked at Emperor Bingli and Ye Chen with a mixture of anger and fear.
"The legend that without the Ice Queen, winter reigns supreme is indeed true!"
"Emperor Bingli is indeed formidable!"
Hai Tianming gritted his teeth. Among the seventy-two pillar gods, there was one called the Ice Queen, one of the eight underworld gods. She possessed top-notch ice magic, which could freeze people into zombies and then control the zombies to kill people. She was extremely powerful.
Beyond the starry sky, there is also a powerful figure whose ice-based magic is extraordinary. That is the Ice Emperor. If the Ice Queen does not appear, the Ice Emperor is the most powerful.
She was single-mindedly pursuing the Dao, and rarely took action even at her peak. The only time she publicly took action was when she slew the Ice Sky Poison Dragon, one of the seven ancient divine dragons.
Hai Tianming has now witnessed the power of Emperor Bing Li.
"You old fool, you're not weak after withstanding my Winter's Bane. Now take another one of my attacks!"
Emperor Bingli's gaze turned sinister, and he was about to make another move.
Hai Tianming raised his hand and said, "Wait!"
"Look what this is?"
With a flick of his wrist, Hai Tianming conjured a massive, dark wheel that rose slowly behind him.
"Eclipse Demon Wheel!"
Ye Chen recognized it immediately; it was the Eclipse Demon Wheel of the Skeleton Ancestor!
The last time he was in the Ghostly Sea of Corpses, Hai Tianming used the Eclipse Demon Wheel to enter a demonic state.
Now that the Skeleton Ancestor has been completely corrupted by demons, the world is filled with demonic energy, ghostly energy, and corpse energy. The dark aura of the Eclipse Demon Wheel has also become boiling and intense.
Hai Tianming sneered, "That's right! Lord of Reincarnation, if you don't want to perish together with me, then don't force me to become a demon."
"The world is now filled with darkness. If I were to become a demon, even the Nine Springs Weak Water would not be able to keep me conscious."
"At that point, I'll completely lose my mind, and we'll only end up with mutual destruction!"
As he spoke, Hai Tianming channeled his aura into the Eclipse Demon Wheel, preparing to unleash his power.
The Eclipse Wheel hummed, as if it were about to merge with him at any moment.
Once he enters his demonic state, he will resonate with the Skeleton Ancestor, unleashing an incredible power far surpassing anything he has ever possessed before.
Ye Chen's expression darkened as he looked at Emperor Bing Li.
But Emperor Bingli showed no fear, coldly saying:
"You old scoundrel, you're so noisy!"
"Go ahead and become a demon if you want, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"Lord of Reincarnation, let's join forces and kill him!"
She reverted to her original form as an emperor, her icy Dao heart turning cold, and she changed how she addressed Ye Chen.
Looking at the icy beauty in front of him, Ye Chen still preferred Su Yunli a little more.
However, this is not the time for idle thoughts; dealing with Hai Tianming is the most important thing.
"Ok!"
Without saying a word, Ye Chen poured his spiritual energy into the Heavenly Emperor Sword. The Heavenly Emperor Sword hummed, its divine light exploded, and its sharp edge flashed.
"United Spiritual Communication Technique, Deep Cold Netherworld Slash!"
Ye Chen used a mental spell to connect with Emperor Bing Li, and then unleashed a move called "Deep Frost Profound Nether Slash". The Heavenly Emperor Sword resonated with the Winter Pearl, and the cold tide gathered, bursting out a shocking cold air, which finally transformed into an extremely cold sword aura, slashing straight towards Hai Tianming.
This Deep Cold Mystic Slash is one of the twenty-four ultimate techniques of the Rainbow Rain Temple. It evolved from the Great Cold solar term in winter, and the Frosty Winter Clan has unique insights into it.
Ye Chen and the Ice Emperor were of one mind, and his own icy Dao techniques greatly improved. When he unleashed the "Deep Frost Profound Nether Slash," snow and ice filled the sky, and the deep icy profound ethereal energy filled the surroundings.
Emperor Bingli activated the Winter Pearl, unleashing a surging wave of cold air. It was also a move called "Deep Frost Profound Nether Slash," which exploded into a beam of icy light, directly slashing towards Hai Tianming.
The two were of one mind, and their swords combined, creating a terrifying chill that froze the surrounding area for thousands of miles, even the sea. The scene was magnificent.
Hai Tianming was at the center of the cold wave, feeling an overwhelming chill that made his body and limbs stiff.
"Damn it!"
"Are we really going to destroy everything?"
"Ancestor of Skeletons, bless me!"
Hai Tianming let out a shout, cast a spell, and fused the Eclipse Demon Wheel into his body. His demonic energy erupted, and his face instantly became extremely ferocious, with a black face and fangs. He roared to the sky and completely entered a demonic state.
A radiant light, like that of the deepest springs, emanated from him; he still wanted to remain rational.
But it's no use now.
The darkness in the world was too intense, and the demonic aura of the Skeleton Ancestor was too terrifying.
Under the resonance with the Skeleton Ancestor, he was instantly transformed into a demon, unable to remain conscious, completely losing his reason and turning into a monster.
With a deafening roar, Hai Tianming charged forward, meeting Ye Chen and Emperor Bingli's Deep Cold Profound Nether Slash head-on.
Enveloped in a chilling aura, his body, which had just been stiff, became incredibly agile, like a ghost.
After being transformed by the demon, his agility and physical strength were greatly enhanced.
scoff!
Ye Chen and the Ice Emperor's sword energy struck first, severing both of Hai Tianming's arms from the left and right, splattering black, foul blood everywhere.
Despite losing both arms, Hai Tianming remained fearless and charged forward, kicking Ye Chen while simultaneously opening his mouth to reveal a row of gleaming white teeth as he bit at Emperor Bingli.
Seeing Hai Tianming's crazed state, both Ye Chen and Emperor Bingli were shocked.
Just as the two were about to defend themselves, they heard a cracking sound. The frozen sea beneath their feet shattered instantly, and countless white bone claws, bone snakes, and many twisted skeletal monsters rushed out of the sea, frantically attacking the two.
Those many white bones were all covered in filthy black mist.
That was the demonization of Hai Tianming, which resonated with Hai Zu, attracting a large number of skeletal evil creatures.
Emperor Bingli reacted a little too slowly and was immediately entangled by several skeletal claws around his ankles.
"careful!"
Ye Chen cried out, but by then Hai Tianming had already kicked him, forcing him to turn sideways and retreat, leaving him no time to pay attention to Emperor Bingli.
With her ankles entangled, the Ice Empress lost her balance. Hai Tianming roared and bit down on her snow-white neck.
Empress Bingli's face turned pale instantly. After all, she had undergone a metamorphosis and rebirth. Even if she merged with her previous metamorphosis, her movements were not as agile as before. If she looked, she would be bitten by Hai Tianming.
Master Wan Gu was terrified and wanted to help, but his cultivation was limited and he was unable to intervene.
"Little Xuanshi!"
Ye Chen shouted.
The golden lion not far away immediately charged forward and forcefully knocked Hai Tianming away.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Chen clenched his fist and shouted, "Heavenly Emperor Dragon Body, activate!"
He instantly activated the Heavenly Emperor Dragon Emperor Body, his bones cracking and popping as he entered puppet mode. His body was a mixture of iron-blue and bronze, and with every move he made, the bones clashed and rang out with a metallic clang.
In the past, if Ye Chen had activated this puppet form, he would have faced immense pressure.
But now, his cultivation has advanced to the initial stage of the third level of the Burning Lamp Realm, and the curse of the Seven Sacred Wheels in his body has been completely resolved. His cultivation is far stronger than before, and he can withstand the pressure brought by this puppet form.
"Heavenly Emperor's Demon-Suppressing Technique! Slay him!"
Ye Chen roared, gripping the hilt of the Heavenly Emperor Sword tightly with both hands. The Heavenly Emperor Demon Suppression Technique erupted, golden light exploded, and the sword's golden light surged, its power unmatched, fiercely slashing at Hai Tianming.
With his puppet form activated, Ye Chen's power was astonishing and terrifyingly domineering. Combined with the sharpness of the Heavenly Emperor Sword and the vast light of the Heavenly Emperor Demon Suppression Technique, this sword strike was incomparably fierce and domineering.
With a soft thud, Ye Chen slashed Hai Tianming to the ground with a single sword strike, splattering blood everywhere.
Hai Tianming's demonic aura and life force were instantly annihilated by Ye Chen's sword. His eyes widened, he twitched twice on the ground, and then died.
The numerous skeletal evil creatures around also dispersed.
Upon seeing this, the Ice Emperor was stunned. Looking at Ye Chen's figure, he felt as if he were looking at a war god.
Ye Chen was too powerful; he actually killed Hai Tianming with a single sword strike.
Upon seeing Hai Tianming's death, the people on the isolated island immediately knelt down in fear, not daring to harbor the slightest thought of resistance.
At this moment, with Ye Chen in puppet form, he resembled an iron god of war, but his eyes showed no trace of the dullness of a puppet, only the sharpness, decisiveness, and might of a war god.
Under such a fierce and oppressive presence, no one in the entire arena dared to resist Ye Chen.
"Lord of Reincarnation, you are indeed powerful!"
Even Emperor Bingli couldn't help but admire it.
Looking at Hai Tianming's corpse, Ye Chen had a sudden inspiration. He reached out and grabbed a scroll of array diagrams from the corpse.
The scroll was blood-red; upon unfolding it, one could see it was the array scroll for summoning the Blood Phoenix Emperor.
Upon receiving the summoning array diagram, Ye Chen's eyes lit up immediately.
Upon seeing this, Wan Gu Zhenren was overjoyed and said, "Lord of Reincarnation, now that we have the summoning array diagram, let's quickly summon the Blood Phoenix Emperor to descend!"
“Activating the summoning ritual requires a lot of resources, but fortunately my senior brother also has a considerable legacy, which is enough to use.”
On the isolated island, the golden light of rare and precious materials faintly shimmered, indicating that there were many resources stored here, just right to summon the Blood Phoenix Emperor.
Ye Chen was a little reluctant, because he was penniless and desperately lacked resources. He had killed Hai Tianming, and his legacy could have been used to supplement Ye Chen's income.
However, to summon the Blood Phoenix Emperor, this legacy has already been used up before it can be obtained.
But this was the only way to deal with the Skeleton Ancestor.
"Ye Chen, wait a minute."
Just as Ye Chen was preparing to set up the summoning ritual, Chi Lianjun in the Samsara Graveyard spoke up to stop him.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Ye Chen was puzzled.
Chi Lianjun, however, looked grave and said, "Summoning the Blood Phoenix Emperor is too dangerous; I do not approve."
Ye Chen was taken aback and said, "Why? I didn't feel any danger."
Ye Chen also had a keen sense of the unseen good and bad fortune, and he did not feel any danger in summoning the Blood Phoenix Emperor.
As Master Wan Gu said, Emperor Xuehuang had come into contact with the Fragment of Frenzied Devouring. Some of the dark energy within him was devoured by the Fragment of Frenzied Devouring, but his intelligence remained clear.
Even in his conscious state, the Blood Phoenix Emperor would have helped suppress the demonized Skeleton Ancestor without Ye Chen having to tell him to.
Chi Lianjun replied, "No, just because there is no danger now doesn't mean there won't be in the future."
"A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. You have the sacred texts on you, so it's hard to guarantee that the Blood Phoenix Emperor won't be tempted by them."
"Once the Blood Phoenix Emperor learns that the Sacred Words Scripture is on you, he will probably stop at nothing to seize it!"
The Sacred Words Heavenly Book is still a complete page, making it invaluable. Over the years, the Heart Heavenly Venerable has gone to great lengths, all for the sake of seizing the power of the Heavenly Saint.
Now that the Sacred Words and the Heavenly Saint Bottle of the Heavenly Saint are both on Ye Chen, if the Blood Phoenix Emperor finds out, he might very well be tempted.
After all, that is the "antidote" that can completely dispel the darkness and eliminate the erosion of the abyss's toxic tumors!
Ye Chen's own Seven Sacred Curses Wheel curse was neutralized by the Sacred Words Heavenly Book.
The seven Primordial Gods were all suffering from the backlash of the malignant tumor. The Holy Word Book, the Heavenly Saint Bottle, and the light of the Heavenly Saint were fatally attractive to them!
Chi Lianjun said, "A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. We should not test human nature. If we want to suppress the Skeleton Ancestor, we should do it ourselves. We cannot rely on others."
Ye Chen said, "The power of the Skeleton Ancestor is immense. I'm afraid our strength alone will be insufficient to suppress him."
Just now, Hai Tianming transformed into a demon and resonated with Hai Zu, instantly becoming incredibly ferocious. If it were the Ye Chen of the past, he might not have been able to defeat him.
If Hai Tianming is already this powerful, then Hai Zu's strength must be even more heaven-defying.
Looking at Hai Tianming's corpse, Chi Lianjun pondered for a moment and said, "Within Hai Tianming's body, the Eclipse Demon Wheel was forged, which was Hai Zu's magic weapon."
“I can reforge the Eclipse Demon Wheel and turn it into a cage to seal the Bone Ancestor.”
Ye Chen was astonished and said, "Seal the Skeleton Ancestor? How is that possible? How could the Skeleton Ancestor possibly be sealed?"
Previously, even with the Blood Phoenix Emperor's blood and flesh contributing to create a blood coffin, and the Green Silk Fairy's hair, they still couldn't imprison the Skeleton Ancestor. For Crimson Flame Lord to create a cage to seal the Skeleton Ancestor is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
Chi Lianjun said, "A long-term seal is definitely not enough, but I am confident that once the cage is built, it can seal the Bone Ancestor for at least a quarter of an hour."
“During the time when the Skeleton Ancestor was sealed, you did your best to suppress him. If you still couldn’t suppress him, then we can only blame our bad luck.”
His eyes shone with confidence; he had absolute confidence in his forging skills.
If the cage is built, he is confident that it can seal the Skeleton Ancestor for at least a quarter of an hour!
He can buy Ye Chen a quarter of an hour!
Ye Chen's eyes lit up. If he really had a quarter of an hour, he was confident that he could suppress the Skeleton Ancestor.
"Okay, Master, I believe you!"
Ye Chen's gaze shifted, and after some deliberation, he chose to trust Chi Lianjun.
While Chi Lianjun may be unreliable in other areas, his skill in weapon forging is absolutely trustworthy.
Summoning the Blood Phoenix Emperor was indeed somewhat dangerous, so Ye Chen decided to trust Chi Lianjun this once.
"Lord of Reincarnation, how is it?"
Seeing that Ye Chen had suddenly fallen silent, as if he was thinking about something, Master Wan Gu asked him.
Ye Chen came to his senses, shook his head slightly, and said, "No, I still won't summon the Blood Phoenix Emperor."
Master Wan Gu was taken aback and asked, "What?"
Ye Chen said, "I don't trust outsiders; I only believe in my own strength."
Emperor Bingli was also taken aback, not expecting Ye Chen to refuse the summons.
After thinking about it carefully, she probably guessed it and said, "Are you afraid that the Blood Phoenix Emperor will go crazy and try to take the things from you?"
She also knew that the authority of the Heavenly Saint held a fatal attraction for the seven Primordial Gods.
"Ah."
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
Emperor Bingli sighed, "Fine, whatever your choice, I will always stand by your side."
"However, I can only maintain this state for three days at most, so you'd better finish this quickly."
The process of integrating her previous spiritual transformations has placed a significant burden on her current body, and she can only maintain it for a maximum of three days.
"master."
Ye Chen called out to Chi Lianjun.
Chi Lianjun said, "Three days is enough. Give me one day and I can build the cage. Give me Hai Tianming's corpse."
Ye Chen hummed in agreement, then immediately placed Hai Tianming's corpse into the Reincarnation Graveyard, tossed it to Chi Lianjun, and then said to Bing Li Emperor:
"Give me a day to make some preparations. After a day, we will go and attack the Skeleton Ancestor!"
Emperor Bingli said, "Alright, I believe you, Lord of Reincarnation."
The two looked into each other's eyes, sharing a tacit trust. Their gazes then turned to the distance beyond the island. The chilling aura from before was fading, and the sea had returned to its turbulent, roaring state.
Numerous enormous, mountain-like skeletons emerged from the seawater, crackling and splintering, and even spawning numerous skeletal monsters. These skeletal monsters were all eyeing Ye Chen and the Ice Empress with predatory intent.
Clearly, the two were discussing how to defeat and suppress the Skeleton Ancestor, and the Skeleton Ancestor must have sensed it. If it weren't for Fairy Qingsi holding them back, the Skeleton Ancestor would probably have rushed up and killed them instantly.
"Xue Ci, poor child, wait for me a little longer."
Emperor Bingli murmured softly, looking at the white hair entwined around the many skeletons, and could sense the hardships Yan Xueci was going through.
She was eager to set off immediately to suppress the Skeleton Ancestor and rescue Yan Xueci, but haste makes waste, and she had to wait for Ye Chen to be ready.
As night fell, Ye Chen and Emperor Bing Li rested on the deserted island.
On the isolated island, the former high-ranking members of White Bone Island and some surviving disciples all surrendered and handed over the rare and precious materials stored on the island to Ye Chen for disposal.
Ye Chen naturally accepted them all. This batch of rare and precious materials was comparable in quantity to the Mad King's treasure. Ye Chen, who was originally penniless, suddenly became rich again.
It would indeed be a pity to burn all of these resources and use them to summon the Blood Phoenix Emperor.
Ye Chen only hoped that he could completely suppress the Skeleton Ancestor with his own strength.
Chi Lianjun got busy, throwing Hai Tianming's corpse into the furnace and starting to refine it.
The Eclipse Demon Wheel is inside Hai Tianming's body. As long as his corpse is forged, the Eclipse Demon Wheel can be transformed into a cage.
This is a cage that can break the deadlock!
Ye Chen, on the other hand, calmed his breathing and took stock of what he had at hand.
He took out the Heavenly Saint Bottle and examined it intently. The Heavenly Saint Bottle was filled with holy water. The Worry-Free Holy Hall originally wanted to use this holy water to nourish half a page of the Holy Language Heavenly Book and restore it to its complete state.
It's not just about restoring one page, but about restoring the entire sacred book!
