Chapter 12484 Sitting and Waiting for Death
"My God, brother, your magic is too powerful!"
"Is this mind control?"
"You can control minds, right? Try controlling me and see what I can do."
Su Yunli was utterly shocked to see the monster submit. Her gaze as she looked back at Ye Chen was filled with admiration and excitement, and she even wanted Ye Chen to control her.
"Don't be silly. This kind of spell consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and I can't maintain it for long."
"Hmm, there seems to be a heartbeat nearby. It seems someone is still alive, but it's very faint. Let's go check it out."
Ye Chen looked at the distant ruins of an isolated island, and faintly, he heard the sound of a heartbeat.
In reality, the Black Sea is turbulent, with roaring waves and rampant vengeful spirits and monsters. Even if there were any living hearts beating, it would be impossible to hear them.
But Ye Chen happened to hear it.
This is hearing at the level of laws.
It is the power of the Heart Celestial Venerable.
As long as there are people alive around, as long as there is a heartbeat, the Heart Celestial Venerable can hear it.
By listening to a person's heartbeat, one can hear their true feelings, see through their thoughts, and even change or manipulate them.
After inheriting the Heavenly Heart Divine Authority, Ye Chen discovered that it integrated very well with him, unlike any of his previous divine authorities.
Ye Chen guessed that it was because the Primordial Beginning had favored him; he was the Child of Light, and the Primordial Beginning had recognized him.
The Heavenly Heart Divine Authority is the heart of the Primordial Beginning. With the Primordial Beginning's approval, Ye Chen also perfectly integrated this heart.
At that moment, he heard that there were still people alive on the wreckage of the isolated island not far away.
The demonized ancestor has completely destroyed this world. The sky is shattered, spatial rifts spread like a spider web, and spacetime storms are everywhere. The earth is also broken and submerged by a black sea of ghostly corpses, where no living beings or anything else survives.
In such a devastating apocalyptic environment, it's surprising that someone is still alive. Ye Chen is very curious about who it is. Is it Hai Tianming, the former lord of White Bone Island?
Ye Chen and Su Yunli rode the golden lion towards a deserted island.
"My children, enter into my cycle of rebirth."
Looking at the densely packed vengeful monsters around him, Ye Chen realized that the Mind Control Technique was consuming a great deal of his spiritual energy, and he couldn't maintain it for long. So he used the Reincarnation Technique to summon a Reincarnation Disc and call the monsters into reincarnation.
This is sending them to their deaths.
Those vengeful spirits, demons, and skeletal monsters, like devout believers, all entered Ye Chen's Wheel of Reincarnation.
Click!
The Wheel of Reincarnation began to spin, quickly shredding the monsters and transforming them all into pure dark spiritual energy, which was then absorbed by Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's cultivation level broke through rapidly, advancing to the third level of the Burning Lamp Realm!
In fact, his accumulated foundation was already very profound. This pure dark spiritual energy was more like a catalyst, stimulating a portion of the divine source spiritual energy he had absorbed in the past, allowing him to break through his cultivation level.
Su Yunli was dumbfounded. Ye Chen ordered the monsters and demons to their deaths, and those monsters and demons actually obeyed and went to their deaths, turning into nourishment for Ye Chen.
"Brother, you call them...children?"
Su Yunli felt more and more that Ye Chen was unfathomable.
Ye Chen laughed and said, "It's just a trick to control the mind."
Many wronged souls and monsters were buried in the cycle of reincarnation, and the surrounding sea area suddenly became clearer.
But Ye Chen knew that as long as the Skeleton Ancestor was still alive, his demonic and corpse energy could give birth to an endless stream of ghostly black skeletons.
We must deal with the Skeleton Ancestor as soon as possible, whether by directly suppressing it or by restoring it to its senses.
However, at this critical juncture, Ye Chen didn't have a good solution. He needed to think things through further before making any rash moves.
Otherwise, he might very well die at the hands of the Skeleton Ancestor!
Riding the golden lion, Ye Chen arrived at the ruins of the isolated island. On the broken island, there were many corpses, and judging from their clothing, they were all villagers.
Ye Chen recognized them; these were villagers from Yan Xueci's tribe.
The tribe has been destroyed, the earth's tectonic plates have shattered, and tsunamis have ravaged the land, turning the shattered land into isolated islands.
Ye Chen found someone alive among the pile of corpses.
He is the True Man of Ten Thousand Bones.
He was once the "ancestor" of the tribe.
The only heartbeat came from the body of the Myriad Bone Immortal.
Ye Chen quickly jumped off the golden lion and pulled Wan Gu Zhenren out of the pile of corpses.
"The Lord of Reincarnation..."
Master Wan Gu slowly opened his eyes, saw Ye Chen, was overwhelmed with excitement, rolled his eyes, and died instantly.
"The True Man of Ten Thousand Bones!"
Ye Chen cried out, not expecting that Wan Gu Zhenren would die as soon as he arrived.
"He's dead."
Su Yunli also jumped off the golden lion and came to Ye Chen's side, standing silently.
Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "I can revive him."
After speaking, Ye Chen summoned a crystal-black fragment, which was the fragment of the Impure Earth!
The Impure World Fragment is one of the four supreme abyss fragments, possessing immense power.
These fragments of impure earth were sealed inside the Heart of Cold Heaven, and even today, Ye Chen cannot touch them with his bare hands.
The abyssal aura contained within the fragments of the Impure Land carries boundless entropy and sin. Even though Ye Chen's current strength is far greater than before, he dares not touch it with his bare hands and can only continue to seal it within the Heart of Cold Heaven.
However, with his current strength, he is already able to activate the power of a portion of the Edo Tensei fragments.
Fragments of the Impure World Reincarnation technique can allow someone to be resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation method!
Immediately, Ye Chen activated the fragments of the Impure Earth, releasing bursts of Impure Earth power. The Impure Earth filled the corpse of Wan Gu Zhenren, whose body trembled, then opened his eyes and revived.
Resurrected by the power of the Edo Tensei fragments, they will be completely controlled by the fragment owner and become slave-like puppets.
Ye Chen certainly didn't want Wan Gu Zhenren to become a puppet, but at this critical moment, he also wanted to revive Wan Gu Zhenren and find out about the matter of the Skeleton Ancestor.
"Ah, it's a fragment of Edo Tensei!"
"Brother, you even have such a miraculous object!"
Su Yunli's eyes widened in shock. She never expected that Ye Chen would actually possess the Fragment of the Impure Earth, one of the four supreme abyss fragments!
Although the Edo Tensei fragment is not as terrifying as the other three fragments in terms of power, its ability to resurrect people through Edo Tensei and resurrect them infinitely is something that the other fragments do not have.
When Wan Gu Zhenren was resurrected and awoke, he also noticed that there was a special substance in his body, which was a substance formed from the aura of the impure earth.
With this unclean soil present, he was essentially a puppet sculpted by Ye Chen from mud.
"The Lord of Reincarnation..."
Wan Gu Zhenren trembled as he looked at Ye Chen.
"I'm sorry, Master Wan Gu, this is the only way I can revive you."
“You died at the hands of the Corpse Ancestor; ordinary methods cannot revive you.”
Ye Chen said.
Under the shroud of the corpse aura of the Corpse Ancestor, ordinary resurrection methods are simply ineffective in reviving the Myriad Bones True Man; only the fragments of the Impure Earth can be relied upon.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
Ye Chen added.
Master Wan Gu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Of course, I know that the Lord of Reincarnation is a gentleman."
He paused, then looked around. He saw that the world had shattered, and the Ghostly Corpse Sea was raging with storms. Countless corpses floated on the purplish-black sea, and his expression darkened.
This world, his home and friends, were all destroyed by the Skeleton Ancestor.
"Master Wan Gu, please accept my condolences. Now, we should focus on suppressing the Skeleton Ancestor as soon as possible."
Ye Chen resurrected Wan Gu Zhenren because he wanted to have more people and more power to fight against the Skeleton Ancestor together.
If the Skeleton Ancestor can regain his senses, that would be ideal. If not, then we must act decisively to suppress or even kill him!
When Wan Gu Zhenren heard that Ye Chen was going to suppress the Skeleton Ancestor, he was stunned and said:
"How could we possibly suppress the Skeleton Ancestor with our strength?"
He glanced at Su Yunli again and saw that the girl was dressed lightly and looked pure and lively. She didn't seem like a master, only having the cultivation level of the Burning Lamp Realm.
Even with him and Ye Chen combined, their combined strength was simply insufficient to suppress the Skeleton Ancestor.
Ye Chen said, "We can't just sit here and wait to die."
Master Wan Gu looked into the distance, pondered for a moment, and said:
"The only way to suppress the Skeleton Ancestor is to summon the Blood Phoenix Emperor."
Ye Chen asked, "Blood Phoenix Emperor?"
Master Wan Gu said, "Yes, the Ghostly Corpse Sea World was once a sacred land of divine remains created by the Corpse Ancestor. His junior sister, Fairy Qing Si, and junior brother, Emperor Xue Huang, often visited to discuss the Dao."
“The ancestor of the skeletons felt that he was turning darker day by day and would one day go completely insane, so he decided to seal himself away.”
"He asked the Blood Phoenix Emperor to sacrifice his flesh and blood to forge a coffin, and then asked the Azure Silk Fairy to use her divine power to create a blue silk rope to bind the blood coffin. He then sealed himself inside the coffin, hoping that in the future, the light would shine brightly and pierce through the abyss."
"However, as you have seen, the darkness is growing ever stronger, the abyss is becoming increasingly powerful, and the skeletal ancestor's fall into demonic possession is irreversible."
"Even the Azure Silk Fairy can't suppress him; we can only summon the Blood Phoenix Emperor to descend again."
Ye Chen looked out at the sea and saw that in many places on the sea, huge skeletons as big as mountains were exposed, and the skeletons were covered with white hair.
This is the weather phenomenon of the confrontation between the Skeleton Ancestor and the Green Silk Fairy. Skeletons manifest, and green silk turns into white snow, tightly entwining them.
However, given the enormous size of the skeleton, the Green Silk Fairy probably couldn't keep wrapping around and suppressing it indefinitely.
"Is the Blood Phoenix Emperor still conscious? And how do we summon him?"
Ye Chen asked.
As far as he knew, the seven Primordial Gods had all suffered from the backlash of the malignant tumor, and each showed signs of corruption and depravity, such as Fairy Lingtong and Heavenly Venerable Xintian he had encountered before.
He didn't know if the Blood Phoenix Emperor was still conscious, or how he could have summoned him to descend.
"I have heard that the Blood Phoenix Emperor touched the Frenzy Fragment and used the effects of the Frenzy Law to devour some of the darkness within his body."
"Therefore, he is conscious and powerful!"
"Back then, the Blood Phoenix Emperor left behind a summoning array diagram, which is in my senior brother's possession. As long as we unfold the summoning array diagram and perform the summoning ritual, we can summon him to descend!"
The Way of the Ten Thousand Bones True Man.
Now that the Skeleton Ancestor has been corrupted by demons, the situation is dire. The only way to break this deadlock is to summon the Blood Phoenix Emperor.
"Fragments of Frenzied Devouring..."
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that this Frenzied Devouring Fragment was indeed extraordinary. It was born from the abyss of darkness, yet it could turn around and devour the darkness.
"Your senior brother is Hai Tianming. Is he still alive?"
Ye Chen asked again, as he had assumed that Hai Tianming was already dead.
"Yes, I can sense that my senior brother is still alive."
Master Wan Gu pointed to a distant, desolate island ruin, "It's over there. White Bone Island is shattered, but not completely destroyed. My senior brother and some of the high-ranking experts on White Bone Island should have survived."
"As long as we find my senior brother and ask him to produce the summoning array diagram, we can summon the Blood Phoenix Emperor to descend!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen and Su Yunli exchanged a glance, and after a moment of silence, they both nodded.
The Skeleton Ancestor is powerful. If the two of them were to fight it head-on, even if they could suppress the Skeleton Ancestor, they would probably have to pay a huge price.
If we could truly summon the Blood Phoenix Emperor to descend, having his help would be the best possible outcome.
“I have a long-standing grudge against your senior brother, so he may not be willing to cooperate.”
"However, with such a disaster looming, let's go and see what happens first."
Ye Chen thought to himself that if Hai Tianming refused to cooperate, then he would have no choice but to use assassins.
He could not suppress the Skeleton Ancestor, but Skeleton Heavenly Darkness was nothing more than a defeated opponent.
Once the agreement was reached, Ye Chen had Su Yunli ride the golden lion, while he and Wan Gu Zhenren flew on foot towards the ruins of White Bone Island.
Previously, Ye Chen had buried many demonic and evil remains on the sea into reincarnation, so the three of them flew along without encountering much hindrance. Only the storms of the Ghostly Corpse Sea itself were destroyed by Ye Chen wielding the Heavenly Emperor Sword.
Seeing that Ye Chen's swordsmanship was sharper and far superior to before, Master Wan Gu nodded and said:
"Lord of Reincarnation, your cultivation has improved again since I last saw you."
Ye Chen said, "It's alright."
Master Wan Gu turned back to look at Su Yunli again and said softly, "Is this young lady your Daoist partner?"
He saw that Su Yunli was beautiful and pure, a perfect candidate for cultivation, but her cultivation was limited. Ye Chen had brought her to such a dangerous place. If something happened to her, it would be no joke.
Upon hearing Wan Gu Zhenren's words, Su Yunli chuckled and said, "I am indeed my brother's Daoist partner."
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. She has a very powerful background, and I can't possibly be worthy of her."
"She is the ancestor of the Frosty Winter Clan, the former Ice Emperor Su Yunli."
Upon hearing this, Master Wan Gu was utterly shocked, nearly biting his tongue, and exclaimed:
"You're the Ice Empress? This...this doesn't seem like it!"
He had also heard Yan Xueci mention the legendary Ice Empress, a woman of unparalleled beauty and talent, single-mindedly pursuing the Dao.
The Ice Empress only had a heart that sought the Dao, and she did not even participate in the decisive battle between the Four Heavenly Gates and the Nine Heavens Clan.
Seeing that Emperor Bingli was not coming out, many powerful members of the Jiutian Clan had concerns and were unable to unleash their full strength, resulting in a series of defeats in the final battle.
The Ice Empress is so powerful that even without her taking action, her name alone can exert immense pressure on people.
But looking at this pure, lively, and scantily clad beautiful girl, Wan Gu Zhenren simply couldn't connect her with that peerless, icy beauty.
Su Yunli puffed out her chest and laughed, "Hehe, I'll look like that when I'm a little older."
Ye Chen said helplessly, "She has undergone a metamorphosis and been reborn."
"Rebirth through transformation?" Master Wan Gu stared blankly, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Let's not talk about that now, let's deal with the immediate problem first."
After flying for a while, Ye Chen soon arrived at the ruins of White Bone Island. The once prosperous and huge White Bone Island, which floated in the sky, has been shattered, and the remains have fallen into the ocean, leaving only a few isolated islands forming a cluster.
The outer perimeter of the isolated islands is protected by layers of pale golden barriers, warding off the dark aura from the outside world.
Because of these restrictions, Ye Chen was unable to hear the heartbeat of the person inside.
He arrived at the edge of the island group and could see many people coming and going among the islands.
On those isolated islands, many places faintly glowed with golden light, as if they contained some rare and precious treasures.
It seems that after White Bone Island was shattered, the rare and precious materials stored there were not completely destroyed, and quite a few remained.
The people on the isolated island were also dumbfounded when they saw Ye Chen, Su Yunli, and Wan Gu Zhenren.
"Senior brother, the Lord of Reincarnation and I have come to see you! Quickly open the barrier to let us in!"
Wan Gu Zhenren looked at the isolated island and shouted loudly.
Upon hearing the sound, the people coming and going on the isolated island became extremely vigilant, drawing their weapons and preparing for battle.
No one responded to Master Wan Gu; only the howling of the storm could be heard.
Master Wan Gu added, "Now that the Skeleton Ancestor has become a demon, we must put aside our past grievances and join hands to have a chance of survival!"
Silence fell again on the isolated island. After a long while, an old, deep voice rang out:
"Cooperation is unnecessary. Our ancestor has become a demon, and that's a good thing!"
"Once he has killed his fill of people and drunk his fill of blood, he will naturally come to his senses."
"At that time, he will carve out a place for himself in the starry sky, and we will be able to enjoy the benefits as well."
This was Hai Tianming's voice.
Master Wan Gu was horrified and said, "Senior brother, even now, you still think about enjoying yourself?"
Hai Tianming has always wanted to revive the Skeleton Ancestor and use his power to conquer the Starry Sky World.
Wan Gu Zhenren never expected that even now, with the Skeleton Ancestor turned to demonic possession, Skeleton Heavenly Ming would still have such an obsession, still thinking about enjoying a life of luxury.
Hai Tianming smiled slightly and said, "The ancestor Hai became a demon and destroyed this world, but he spared us all. This is his grace."
"Once he breaks free from the constraints of his black hair turning white, he will naturally venture into the starry sky. Why should we stop him?"
"You harbor thoughts of suppression? You want to suppress our ancestors? That's utterly outrageous!"
Master Wan Gu was trembling with rage. The reason why Hai Tianming and some high-ranking members of White Bone Island were not killed was because White Bone Island was too big. Their survival was entirely due to luck, not because of any grace or mercy from the Hai Ancestor.
"Wow, you old man, you're so long-winded!"
"Brother, let's just kill him!"
Su Yunli couldn't listen anymore, so she jumped off the back of the golden lion and glanced at Ye Chen.
The moment Ye Chen met her gaze, he could automatically see into her heart.
Su Yunli completely opened her heart to Ye Chen, and Ye Chen's mind-reading talent was able to penetrate her deeply, and the two had a very strange tacit understanding.
Ye Chen knew from her eyes that she was about to make a move.
brush!
A statue of an ice-cold beauty and a bead flew out from Ye Chen's body.
That was Su Yunli's Ice and Snow Transformation, and her Winter Beads.
She had already given them all to Ye Chen, but at this critical moment, Ye Chen didn't waste any words and offered up the Ice and Snow Mantle and the Winter Pearl for her to use.
Both of them knew very well that they could entrust everything to each other; a single glance was enough for them to reach a profound understanding.
Wow!
The ice and snow melted away, turning into a cold wave that entered Su Yunli's body.
Su Yunli merged with the Ice and Snow Transformation Technique, her skin instantly becoming as white and translucent as snow, and her figure became much fuller. Her originally immature breasts became voluptuous, and she was draped in an ice and snow dress. Snow and frost surged around her, and she transformed into an ice queen. Her eyes were as white as snow, pure white, and exuded a chilling aura.
Her unparalleled beauty caused snow to fall over the surrounding seas, completely suppressing the dark aura.
She merged with the Ice and Snow Transformation, and surprisingly, she regained her former appearance as the Ice Emperor, and her former strength.
