Chapter 12483 The Greatest Demon
After the Sacred Words Book was restored to a complete page, its consumption of spiritual energy actually decreased. If Ye Chen activated it once or twice, the burden would not be too great.
Upon leaving the Land of No Worries and returning to the Starry Sky World, Ye Chen immediately heard thunder rumbling in the sky, indicating the appearance of a strange phenomenon.
The Yin-Yang Dao Qi could be seen floating on the horizon, and then rapidly converging above Ye Chen's head.
The Yin and Yang energies converged, and it seemed that a Yin-Yang lightning tribulation was about to be generated.
"Ok?"
"Heavenly tribulation?"
"Why does my appearance trigger a heavenly tribulation?"
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen was extremely surprised. His tribulation had long passed, so how could he be facing another tribulation?
Upon seeing the Heavenly Tribulation brewing, Xue Lie's expression changed, and he said, "The Lord of Reincarnation, it must be the light of the Heavenly Saint that triggered the Heavenly Tribulation!"
"Neither the Primordial Beginning nor the Abyss will allow the existence of a Heavenly Saint!"
"They're going to punish you and kill you!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen also sensed the killing intent emanating from heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs.
The Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth themselves have no malicious intent to kill and will not harm him.
However, the existence of the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss, the wills of the two supreme beings, touched Yin and Yang. The convergence of Yin and Yang Dao Qi brewed the Yin-Yang Calamity. Once the Yin-Yang Divine Thunder was fully brewed and fell, it would be a terrifying heavenly tribulation.
What the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss seek to destroy is the authority of the Heavenly Sage!
"Oh dear, brother, how did you trigger the heavenly tribulation?"
At this moment, a delicate voice rang out, and a girl wearing only a tube top and shorts strode out. She was also very surprised to see the Yin-Yang Thunder Tribulation brewing in the sky.
The girl was none other than Su Yunli.
She had been waiting for Ye Chen outside the Land of No Worries for many days, but she never expected that Ye Chen's appearance would trigger the Yin-Yang Thunder Tribulation.
The Heavenly Dao on the other side of the starry sky is no longer the Pillar of Creation, but the Great Dao of Yin and Yang itself.
Yin and Yang, the Eight Trigrams, are everywhere, as is the Way of Heaven.
The will of the strong can influence Yin and Yang, touch the Great Dao, and unleash all sorts of unpredictable divine might.
Now, the will of the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss has touched the Great Dao, triggering a Heavenly Tribulation.
"The four seasons are in harmony, the spring breeze dispels the stagnant energy!"
Seeing the Yin-Yang tribulation clouds gathering in the sky, Su Yunli hurriedly made a few hand seals. A burst of spiritual energy emanated from her body, soaring into the sky and dispersing the Yin-Yang tribulation clouds.
The sky returned to its clear state, and the calamities ceased.
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen was quite surprised and looked at Su Yunli, saying, "Miss Su, you...you've dispelled the Heavenly Tribulation?"
Su Yunli chuckled and said, "Fortunately, the heavenly tribulation wasn't too severe. I used a technique to harmonize the four seasons, regulate the climate, and dispel the heavenly tribulation."
She paused, then said somewhat seriously, "But brother, you must be careful not to offend the heavens again."
She was the former ancestor of the Winter Clan and had a profound understanding of the arts of seasonal changes and the harmony of the four seasons.
In the Rainbow Rain Realm, the four major families of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, as well as the Rainbow Rain Temple itself, all possess the ability to harmonize the four seasons and change the climate. When necessary, they can even alter celestial phenomena and resolve heavenly tribulations.
To perform this technique normally requires a very high level of cultivation.
Ye Chen has mastered the Lingxiao Transformation Scripture and is proficient in all twenty-four unique skills of the Rainbow Rain Divine Palace. However, due to the limitations of his cultivation, he is currently unable to harmonize the seasons and change the celestial phenomena.
After Su Yunli's rebirth, although her cultivation level dropped to the Burning Lamp Realm, she was, after all, the former ancestor of the Frosty Winter Clan. This method of harmonizing the atmosphere was naturally not too difficult for her.
Xue Lie solemnly said, "Lord of Reincarnation, you must not use that sacred book lightly again, otherwise you will invite heavenly tribulation punishment, which would be extremely bad."
The Sacred Words and Heavenly Books are forbidden laws, taboo entities. In the current context of the Yin-Yang Dao, using such taboos is extremely dangerous.
"I see."
Ye Chen secretly took note, indicating that he understood.
Su Yunli's eyes darted around Ye Chen, and she said:
“Hmm, brother, I saw a shocking holy light rising from the depths of the Land of No Worries. It turns out that you have inherited the authority of the Heavenly Saint.”
She moved closer to Ye Chen, sniffed him, and exclaimed in surprise,
"You still have the aura of the Heart Celestial Venerable. You even killed the Heart Celestial Venerable and inherited his power?"
"Wow, that's incredible! So you can read minds now, right? Can you tell what I'm thinking?"
She blinked and looked at Ye Chen with a playful smile.
Looking at her face, Ye Chen naturally discerned her thoughts.
Su Yunli was completely unguarded around him, so he could easily see into her heart.
In Su Yunli's mind, there were all sorts of images of men and women enjoying themselves. She wanted to be with Ye Chen, as if she wanted to devour him whole.
Having undergone a metamorphosis and rebirth, she only wants to pursue the Great Dao of Yin and Yang. She desires the union of Yin and Yang and is now completely fixated on Ye Chen, wanting to unite with him.
Ye Chen felt embarrassed to see that Su Yunli appeared innocent and lively on the surface, but was actually having all sorts of wild thoughts in her mind. He said:
What nonsense are you thinking?
Seeing Ye Chen's reaction, Su Yunli knew he was indeed skilled in mind reading, and said happily:
"Brother, you really can read minds! That's great! You've seen what I'm thinking. Would you like to be with me?"
As she spoke, she tightly grabbed Ye Chen's arm.
Seeing her so direct, Ye Chen was momentarily speechless. Noticing she was still dressed so scantily in a tube top and shorts, he said:
"Get dressed first."
Su Yunli chuckled and said, "No need, just wear it like this, it'll be cooler."
"Uh..." Xue Lie and the many disciples of the Holy Hall looked at each other, all feeling embarrassed. It was the first time they had ever seen such a straightforward and honest woman.
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's get back to business, Miss Su. It's time for us to make a trip to the Ghostly Corpse Sea."
Ye Chen was still worried about the karma surrounding the Skeleton Ancestor.
That ghostly, corpse-filled world has been destroyed, but in the vast world beyond the stars, there is no trace of the Corpse Ancestor.
In other words, the Skeleton Ancestor is still in the Sea of Corpses in the Ghost Realm, but for some reason, he has not come out to wreak havoc on the starry sky.
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Su Yunli also dropped her playful demeanor and said, "Well, brother, can you come with me now? I feel like you still have many unresolved karmic debts to settle."
Ye Chen does indeed have unresolved karmic debts, and he needs to return to the Golden Auction House to explain the situation to Emperor Jin Yu.
However, considering the situation of the Skeleton Ancestor, the consequences are even more significant. Once the demonized Skeleton Ancestor sets foot in the Starry Sky Great World, the situation will be difficult to manage.
"It's alright, let's go to the Ghostly Corpse Sea first."
Ye Chen composed himself and said to Mu Youying,
"Miss Mu, please take Senior Xue and the others back to Jiu Cang Academy first. I have some matters to attend to."
Mu Youying knew that the matter of the Skeleton Ancestor was of great importance, so she dared not be negligent and nodded in agreement.
Ye Chen sent another message via flying sword to the headquarters of the Golden Auction House, explaining the cause and effect to Emperor Jin Yu, saying that he had accidentally refined an entire page of the Sacred Words Heavenly Book.
After the matter of the ancestor is resolved, he will personally go to the Gold Auction House to explain the situation.
The matter was settled, and Mu Youying led Xue Lie and the others back to Jiu Cang Academy.
On the other side of the Land of No Worries, only Ye Chen and Su Yunli remained.
Now that they were alone together, Su Yunli didn't do anything reckless. Even though her mind was full of all sorts of silly thoughts, the matter of the Corpse Ancestor was indeed no small matter, and she was taking it seriously.
“Brother, you have the Sacred Book of Heaven, which can suppress the Skeleton Ancestor.”
"However, using the sacred scripture might attract a heavenly calamity. What do you plan to do?"
Su Yunli blinked and asked.
Various thoughts flashed through Ye Chen's mind. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's go to the Ghostly Corpse Sea and see what the situation is before we decide."
He immediately summoned the little black lion, which transformed into a golden lion.
"Come up."
Ye Chen mounted the golden lion and waved to Su Yunli.
Su Yunli chuckled, then took Ye Chen's hand and rode the golden lion in front of him.
Ye Chen hugged her waist from behind, rode the golden lion, and soared through the clouds towards the sea of corpses in the ghost realm.
Su Yunli was deeply in love with Ye Chen, and Ye Chen wasn't heartless; it would be a lie to say he wasn't moved.
In her previous life, she was the Ice and Glass Emperor. With her status and strength, she was a perfect match for Ye Chen.
Therefore, Ye Chen naturally didn't mind being with her.
However, the matter of the ancestor remains unresolved, so this is not the time for romance.
Riding the golden lion, Ye Chen left the Land of No Worries, taking one last look back at the Land of No Worries.
The outline of the Black Sand Ruins and the Eternal Silent Abyss is still faintly visible. This place is a microcosm of the world's darkness and corruption.
If the darkness beyond the starry sky is not addressed, it will one day completely degenerate and decay.
"I will suppress the darkness, rule the stars, and rebuild the era of the Sanctuary."
"It is my responsibility."
"It is the way of the Heavenly Sage, the responsibility of the Heavenly Sage."
"If there truly is a supreme saint in this world to rule and control everything, then that saint is me!"
Ye Chen gazed at the deep starry sky, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
The Way of the Heavenly Sage is similar to his own Way.
A world where Heaven and Earth are indifferent and Yin and Yang are disordered is utterly unworkable. The Great Dao needs to be controlled by someone, and it can only be one person.
If there was a beginning and there was an abyss, then boundless chaos would surely ensue.
If there were an omniscient and omnipotent saint to govern the world, there would be no more strife and chaos.
Ye Chen made up his mind; he would become such a saint, a heavenly saint, a supreme being.
……
The golden lion traversed the sky and clouds, speeding through the starry sky at an incredible pace, like a golden meteor streaking across the heavens. In less than a day, Ye Chen and Su Yunli had already approached the Sea of Corpses in the Ghost Realm.
The closer one gets to the Ghostly Sea of Corpses, the denser the ghostly aura becomes. The air is filled with a strange smell that is a mixture of decaying corpse odor and chilling evil energy. Even the starlight is swallowed up, and the world is plunged into darkness.
"Brother, we're almost there. This ghostly sea of corpses is truly terrifying."
Su Yunli's voice carried a hint of solemnity as she looked at the world of the Ghostly Corpse Sea ahead. That world had already been destroyed. The power of the Corpse Ancestor was too terrifying; the demonized Corpse Ancestor had destroyed everything.
The Ghostly Corpse Sea world is now a devastating ruin.
She peered into the heavens and could vaguely see the terrifying figure of the Skeleton Ancestor, but she could not see Yan Xueci's appearance. Under the shadow of the Skeleton Ancestor, she could not see anything else, only the terrifying and overwhelming aura of the demonized Skeleton Ancestor.
Ye Chen's expression was also quite solemn, but he didn't know whether Yan Xueci was alive or dead. The ghost energy in the Ghostly Corpse Sea was extremely dense. Fortunately, the Golden Suanni was there. This divine beast was filled with golden holy light, which repelled evil spirits and prevented the ghost energy from corroding it.
However, maintaining this majestic golden appearance is quite a burden for the golden Suanni.
"Master, it's best to finish this quickly and not drag it out for too long. I can't hold out much longer."
The Golden Lion Path.
"I know."
Ye Chen nodded, then rode the golden lion and rushed into the Ghostly Corpse Sea World.
The curse on him has been completely dispelled, and he is now at his peak condition. The ghostly energy and evil spirits in the Ghostly Corpse Sea cannot harm him.
On the contrary, these ghostly and evil auras can strengthen his dark authority, such as the divine authority of death, the divine authority of decay, the divine authority of twilight, the divine authority of the black sun, and so on.
However, these dark and negative divine powers must be used and controlled with caution; excessive expansion may not be a good thing.
Therefore, Ye Chen relied on the golden lion to resist the surrounding ghostly energy, also to protect Su Yunli, as he was afraid that Su Yunli could not withstand the aura here.
"The ghostly aura here is thick, and it's fraught with danger. You take this bead."
Ye Chen took out a gold bead and put it into Su Yunli's hand.
This is the Jade Pool Golden Heart Pearl of the Heavenly Mother Goddess. Ye Chen had given it to Mu Youying for self-defense before, but Mu Youying had already returned it to him. Now he is giving it to Su Yunli.
Holding the golden bead, Su Yunli saw that it was surrounded by golden light, blocking the surrounding ghostly energy. She was very happy and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, brother! I will also give you a magic weapon."
As she spoke, she took out a scroll and handed it to Ye Chen.
"what is this?"
Ye Chen unfolded it and saw that it was an ancient painting with the words "Autumn Sky and Cold Rain" printed next to it. It depicted a scene of a cold and desolate autumn sky, with cold rain, withered flowers and plants, and all things withered, creating a bleak and cold atmosphere.
Su Yunli said, "This is the Qiu Ming family's most treasured item, called the Autumn Sky Cold Rain Diagram. It is very powerful."
"Back then, I was lucky enough to kill the ancestor of the Qiu Ming family and seize this magic weapon, but this magic weapon has the soul imprint of the ancestor of the Qiu Ming family on it, so I cannot activate it."
"However, the painting itself is a rare treasure; carrying it can be used for self-defense."
Ye Chen scanned the painting with his divine sense and indeed sensed that there was a stubborn restriction on the "Autumn Sky and Cold Rain Painting" that was integrated into the whole painting. Unless the painting was destroyed, it could not be removed.
It seems that a vengeful spirit has taken up residence in the painting!
When Ye Chen scanned the painting with his divine sense, he sensed a resentful gaze fixed upon it.
However, as Su Yunli said, this painting itself is a top-tier magic weapon, with built-in self-defense capabilities.
"Hmm, this picture, or perhaps I could try using the power of the Heavenly Sage to erase the soul imprint left by Ancestor Qiu Ming."
Ye Chen looked at the drawing, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
The Sea of Corpses in the Ghost Realm is isolated from the world. Using the power of a Heavenly Sage here might not violate the taboos of the Yin-Yang Dao.
"Master, be careful. The power of the Heavenly Sage, especially the Holy Words and Heavenly Book, should not be used lightly."
The golden lion reminded him.
"Ok."
Ye Chen then put the painting away and said to Su Yunli, "Miss Su, let's talk about it later."
"Now, let's first look for where the Skeleton Ancestor and the Green Silk Fairy are."
Ye Chen looked around. He had now stepped into the world of the Ghostly Corpse Sea. In the past, the Ghostly Corpse Sea had a sky and land, as well as a huge island of white bones.
But now, all of that is gone. This world has been destroyed, and only a vast, purplish-black ocean appears in Ye Chen's eyes.
On the purplish-black ocean, countless skeletons and the remains of some islands floated, and hundreds of shadowy, wronged souls roamed the surface.
Ye Chen released his divine sense, attempting to capture the auras of the Skeleton Ancestor and the Green Silk Fairy.
In an instant, Ye Chen sensed the aura of the Skeleton Ancestor, which was extremely powerful and terrifying, and was located in the seabed.
The ancestor of the skeletons was actually sunk at the bottom of the sea!
"The ancestor of the skeletons is at the bottom of the sea!"
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Yunli.
Su Yunli also sensed it and said, "That child Yan Xueci must also be at the bottom of the sea. It was her hair that entangled the Skeleton Ancestor, causing him to sink to the bottom of the sea and unable to come out!"
At this moment, the only aura that she and Ye Chen could sense was that of the Skeleton Ancestor.
The aura of the Demonized Ancestor was so vast and terrifying, like a mountain or a sea, that it overshadowed all other aura fluctuations.
Therefore, neither of them was able to detect Yan Xueci's presence.
But how could the ancestor of the skeletons be stuck at the bottom of the sea and unable to come out?
There must be someone controlling him behind this!
The only one who can bind the Skeleton Ancestor is the Fairy of Green Silk!
Su Yunli was quick-witted and, after a little deduction, guessed that it was Yan Xueci's hair that had entangled the Skeleton Ancestor, preventing him from escaping.
Otherwise, the demonized Skeleton Ancestor would have already stormed the Great World Beyond the Stars.
"Brother, what should I do?"
"Do you have the ability to suppress the Skeleton Ancestor and rescue that child, Yan Xueci?"
Su Yunli's beautiful eyes were filled with deep worry, firstly for Yan Xueci's safety, and secondly for the possibility that the Skeleton Ancestor would break free of his restraints and attack the Starry Sky Great World.
Once the Skeleton Ancestor is freed, the first people he will kill will inevitably be the members of her Frostwinter Clan. After all, that is Yan Xueci's family, and the Skeleton Ancestor will not hesitate to trace their origins.
Although Su Yunli, after her rebirth, retained many trump cards and could protect herself from some powerful figures, she was helpless and completely unable to fight against such a terrifying being as the Demonized Corpse Ancestor.
Now, she can only pin her hopes on Ye Chen.
Ye Chen also felt a sense of unease. If he were to confront the Skeleton Ancestor head-on, even if he could suppress him, he would inevitably have to pay a terrible price.
Having only recently recovered, Ye Chen really didn't want to fall into that terrible situation again.
The golden lion said, "Master, you possess the divine power of the Heavenly Heart, so perhaps you could use mental techniques to restore the ancestor of the skeletons to his senses."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he said, "To restore consciousness? That's a good idea."
"However, the Skeleton Ancestor has been corrupted by demons, and it will not be easy to bring him back to his senses."
As they spoke, on the purplish-black sea, a large number of wronged souls and skeletal monsters, smelling the living presence of Ye Chen and Su Yunli, swarmed over like flies attracted by the scent of blood.
On Ye Chen's side, there was a golden lion and the Yaochi Golden Heart Pearl, both radiating golden light and exuding a sacred aura. However, the wronged souls and skeletal monsters were completely unafraid and charged forward with frenzied roars. Clearly, they had been influenced by the demonic aura of the Skeleton Ancestor and had all gone mad.
"Brother, the monster is coming!"
Su Yunli immediately tensed up; the number of vengeful spirits and monsters was simply too great, enough to make one's scalp tingle just looking at them.
"Divine Authority of Heaven, Mind Control Technique!"
Ye Chen remained calm in the face of danger. A golden light of divine authority flashed in his eyes, and the Mind Technique of the Heart Celestial Venerable was activated. The intense golden light radiated outwards, and the roaring, charging vengeful monsters froze in place as soon as they came into contact with the golden light, remaining motionless like statues.
They have become Ye Chen's puppets!
Ye Chen made hand seals to maintain the operation of the Mind Control Technique. He was quite surprised and taken aback to see that he had controlled tens of thousands of vengeful monsters in an instant.
"This divine authority of the Heavenly Heart is indeed powerful."
"It's also because of the dark undercurrents within me that they are so profound that demons are intimidated and obediently follow my control."
Ye Chen knew very well that with his current cultivation level, he shouldn't be able to subdue so many monsters at once.
However, his body contains dark things such as the Black Abyss Poison Spring, the God of Death, the God of Twilight, and the God of Black Sun. These profound dark foundations, combined with mind control techniques, can easily suppress demons and monsters.
Or it's not called suppression, but assimilation, indoctrination. Darkness encompasses darkness, demons and monsters are nothing, Ye Chen is the greatest demon!
