Chapter 12447 The Profound Way
Chapter 12447 The Profound Way
Ye Chen's understanding of the laws and the great principles has become much deeper.
"Stab the seventh thoracic vertebra from behind? Yeah, I get it."
"Thank you for telling me, Brother."
Ye Chen smiled at Jinyan Yinzun, but his smile contained a bit of cruelty, like a cat playing with a mouse.
Jinyan Yinzun felt uneasy and said, "Junior brother, I have already told you Jiang Su's weakness."
"You swore by heaven to let me go."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Okay, no problem, go ahead."
At that moment, Ye Chen created a vacuum channel in the reincarnation hell, connecting it to the outside world.
Jinyan Yinzun was stunned, feeling that the scene before him was somewhat familiar.
His muscles were tense and he stepped onto the vacuum channel nervously, looking back every step he took.
Ye Chen just looked at him with a smile. When he reached the end of the vacuum channel and was about to leave hell, Ye Chen suddenly took action.
The Emperor of Heaven slashed out with his sword, and a ray of sword light passed by Jinyan Yinzun, cutting off his ear, and blood splattered.
Jinyan Yinzun was so frightened that his soul flew away. He turned back and said to Ye Chen: "Junior brother, you..."
Ye Chen smiled and said, “Brother, I said I’ll let you go, but whether you can walk out alive depends on your ability.”
These words were said by Jinyan Yinzun before, and now Ye Chen returned them exactly as they were.
Jinyan Yinzun's face suddenly twisted, and he said angrily: "Lord of Samsara, you despicable little..."
Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, Ye Chen Tiandi's sword flashed again and cut off Jinyan Yinzun's head.
Then, Ye Chen grabbed Jinyan Yinzun's body and refined it in an instant.
Jinyan Yinzun is a powerful puppet. When Ye Chen refined him, he integrated the majestic power of blood and the energy of the iron puppet.
Many essences of spiritual ore and Taoist crystals were deposited deep into Ye Chen's flesh and blood.
Previously, Ye Chen had fused the flesh and blood of the Mad King and became a perfect puppet himself. After refining the Cinder Flame Yin Zun, his puppet body became even more powerful.
Ye Chen's body is now in a very strange state.
His body is divided into the surface body and the deep body.
The surface of his body is his former flesh and blood. Beneath this flesh and blood, there is a huge amount of essence of the Dao Crystal Secret Mine, which is the essence of the combat puppet!
Turning oneself into a puppet is a forbidden method, so Ye Chen still maintained restraint.
He divided his body into two parts, and the surface part was in a completely normal state.
Deep inside the body, there is a tremendous essence of battle puppet hidden.
As long as these essences are stimulated, Ye Chen can enter the state of a combat puppet and burst out with astonishing combat power in an instant.
However, in his daily life, Ye Chen would hide all the essence of the combat puppet. He was also afraid that his flesh and blood would turn into iron, and if he really became a steel puppet, there would probably be many disadvantages.
Now he maintains the flesh and blood of a normal human being, and all the essence of steel has been condensed and precipitated. This is the most perfect state Ye Chen can think of.
After refining the Jinyan Yin Zun, Ye Chen rested for another day and his physical condition completely recovered to its peak. The life lamp in his dantian shone brighter than before, but it still couldn't illuminate his brain.
The cultivation of the Burning Lamp Realm involves complex rules, and one cannot simply pile up resources to build up one's cultivation.
There is a cervical vertebra connecting the human body and the brain. Inside this cervical vertebra is a gateway to life and death.
Only by opening up the mysterious gate of life and death can the light of the lamp of life illuminate the brain.
This is the most difficult part of advancing to the Burning Lamp Realm. I wonder how many warriors have stopped at the threshold of life and death.
Ye Chen estimated that if he wanted to break through the gate of life and death and let the life lamp illuminate his brain, he must have a fierce enough life-and-death battle to stimulate the vital energy and blood and break through the gate.
Chi Lianjun saw that Ye Chen had refined the Jinyan Yinzun, but did not covet the puppet essence. Instead, he hid all the puppet essences and deposited them deep in his flesh and blood. He nodded slightly and said:
"Boy, your heart is really stable. You can actually withstand the temptation of a perfect puppet."
Ye Chen smiled and said: "I am a human being, I don't want to be a puppet."
Chi Lianjun yawned lazily again and said, "Okay, now that you've recovered, where do you want to go next? Do you really want to go to the Sea of Corpses?"
"That place is very dangerous."
"Master is a weapon refiner. He is weak and his martial arts skills are just average. If you really encounter any danger, Master can't help you."
"And the old ghost Bian Tian is also asleep. Well, even the little girl Fu Jin is asleep. Without a miracle, you are in danger."
"I think it's better for you to go back to Jiucang College."
Ye Chen took out the Sky-Breaking and Melting Sword and pointed it in the direction of the sea of corpses in the ghost den. The sword then vibrated in resonance and made a buzzing sound.
"Master, the divine sword resonates with the sea of corpses in the ghost den. What do you think is the reason?"
Ye Chen didn't want to leave just like that. Although the sea of corpses was dangerous, there must be opportunities there.
Now his life lamp can't illuminate his brain, and his cultivation level can only be considered as half a step into the Burning Lamp Realm at best.
If he wants to illuminate his brain and truly enter the state of burning lamps, he needs enough opportunities.
Or maybe there is the opportunity he wants in the sea of corpses!
"The divine sword is ringing. I guess there must be some material in the sea of corpses that can sharpen the divine sword."
Chi Lianjun looked at the World-Breaking and Melting Heaven Sword, then looked in the direction of the sea of corpses in the ghost den. After pondering and deducing for a while, he roughly figured out some clues.
"The sword is sharpened?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. Chi Lianjun's Sky-Breaking Sword was a top-level divine weapon. If it could be sharpened, its sharpness would probably far exceed that of his Heavenly Emperor Sword.
By then, it’s exciting to think about how terrifying the killing power of the sharpened sword will be.
Chi Lianjun looked a little serious, and said: "It is very dangerous to sharpen the divine sword. Just as the old ghost Bian Tian said, in this world, even if there is a divine sword that can cut through the starry sky, it is not something that humans can control."
"I was once very arrogant and thought I could do anything, but when I was tempering the Heavenly Emperor Sword for you, I almost exhausted my soul energy."
"Alas, I now know that human power is limited. There are some things that are beyond human control."
Previously, he helped Ye Chen to temper the Heavenly Emperor Sword and almost lost his soul. After this incident, his temper calmed down a bit and he was not as arrogant as before.
Ye Chen was also very surprised to see Chi Lianjun actually retreat.
He gently stroked the unsharpened sword, and looked at the life lamp in his dantian, but his brain could not be illuminated and his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
"Master, I want to go to the Sea of Corpses. I don't want to sharpen my sword, but to find some opportunities to strengthen my life lamp, improve my realm, and illuminate my brain."
Ye Chen made a decision in his mind and said.
Chi Lianjun stared at him, was silent for a while, and finally sighed:
"Whatever. Anyway, the master can't help you with anything. You just have to act according to the circumstances."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, Master, you have helped me a lot."
Chi Lianjun yawned lazily, without saying anything else, and went back to lie down on the tombstone.
Ye Chen calmed himself down, concealed his breath, and flew towards the sea of corpses in the ghost den.
The sea of corpses in the ghost den was shrouded in a dark ghost aura, forming a huge black vortex. Ye Chen looked down and sensed it carefully, and found that the ghost aura was very strong, revealing the breath of the abyss and was full of filth and dirt.
This is not ordinary ghost energy, but a mixture of plague, resentment, pain, hatred, poison, and filth. Compared with the burial tombs of the gods, the aura here is more extreme and more evil and sinister.
"This place is not simple."
"However, wealth and honor are sought in danger. Now that I'm here, how can I return empty-handed?"
Ye Chen made up his mind and dived directly into the dark vortex below, holding the Emperor Sword tightly in his hand to prevent any accidents.
If he could get some opportunity in there, or even sharpen the Sky-Breaking and Melting Sword, then Ye Chen would soar into the sky, and a mere Jiang Su would be of no use.
And the real life-threatening threat to him is not Jiang Su, but the Black Queen Mother!
He would naturally not miss the opportunity to improve his strength.
Entering the dark vortex, Ye Chen felt dizzy and an endless ghost energy storm was howling around him. He held the Emperor Sword in front of his chest, the sword light burst out, cutting off the ghost energy and the storm, and defending firmly.
Soon, Ye Chen descended from the storm, his toes landing steadily on the ground. Looking up, he saw that the whole area was filled with chaotic air, and the sky seemed to be stained with thick ink. There was no starry sky, only wisps of faint blue ghost fire floating in the air.
The ground beneath his feet was a dark, scarlet patch, soft to the touch, as if he were stepping on rotting flesh. There were twisted trees everywhere on the ground.
"Is this the sea of corpses?"
“I don’t know what kind of opportunity there is that can make the World-Breaking and Melting Heaven Sword resonate.”
Ye Chen was curious, so he took out the Sky-Breaking Sword and wanted to see the direction of the resonance.
He also wanted to see what exactly was the thing that could attract the World-Breaking and Melting Sky Sword.
Buzz!
The World-Breaking and Sky-Melting Sword made an unprecedented humming sound, and the originally dark, ancient and heavy sword body was covered with a layer of flowing light. It seemed that something deep in the earth was resonating with the sword.
Ye Chen saw a wisp of blood rushing up from the ground. It was attracted by the Sky-Breaking Melting Sword and directly poured into the Sky-Breaking Melting Sword.
After absorbing the blood energy of the earth, the World-Breaking and Melting Sky Sword hummed, and suddenly a bright and extremely sharp sword light burst out, and slashed towards Ye Chen's neck.
The unsharpened divine sword suddenly burst out with a sharp edge. The crystal-like sword light was so sharp that it was unimaginable. It suddenly came towards Ye Chen to kill him, shocking Ye Chen so much that his hair stood on end.
"not good!"
Ye Chen's eyes widened and his scalp tingled, remembering what Patriarch Bian Tian had said: if the magic sword was sharpened, the first line of attack would cut off the owner's head!
Now, the unsharpened divine sword suddenly burst out with a terrifying sharpness and slashed towards Ye Chen's neck.
The sword light was so fast that Ye Chen was completely unprepared and couldn’t react in time.
At the critical moment of life and death, he could only burst out the power of the god of death and mobilize the puppet essence deep in his flesh and blood. Countless spiritual energy of crystal ore and steel surged from the deepest part of his body in an instant, turning him into a state of iron puppet.
Zheng!
The sword light of the World-Breaking and Melting Sky Sword cut Ye Chen's neck. Fortunately, he turned on the puppet state, and his body was like a steel puppet. He actually blocked the sword. His neck was not cut off, but a hideous and terrible wound was cut, and blood gushed out.
Ye Chen felt as if his throat was cut open, blood gushing out. The sword light of the Sky-Melting Sword was so sharp that it was as fierce as a sky-slash. He felt as if the origin of his great Dao had been destroyed to some extent.
His life was also killed by a sword. Fortunately, he had activated the power of death in advance, and the source of death was not exhausted. He did not really die, but he was seriously injured. He was paralyzed on the ground, his whole body was sore, and he didn't even have the strength to get up.
The sharp edge of the World-Breaking and Melting Sky Sword lasted only for a moment. After that moment of sharpness, the sword became silent, and fell to the ground with a clang. It no longer resonated with this world, and was as quiet and silent as a piece of scrap metal.
Ye Chen lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, his heart pounding. He looked at the World-Breaking and Melting Sky Sword that fell beside him with a look of horror.
He had never expected that this divine sword would be so sharp. It almost killed him with one blow.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and activated the power of death in time, he would be dead now.
"Ah, the sword is sharpened?"
In the samsara cemetery, Chi Lianjun, who was lying flat, was shocked to see the divine sword burst out with such a sharp edge, even almost killing Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, how are you?"
When Xiao Xingxing saw Ye Chen's neck and throat were cut, he was terrified. He hurriedly mobilized the spiritual energy of the Starry Sky Taoist Book and madly poured it into Ye Chen's body to heal him.
"It's okay, it's not dead yet."
Ye Chen transmitted his message through his mind, saying that his throat was injured and he couldn't utter a word.
Absorbing the spiritual energy of the Starry Sky Taoist Book, Ye Chen slowly recovered.
Chi Lianjun focused all his attention on the World Breaking and Melting Heaven Sword, muttering, "It's not sharpening, it just absorbed a very special energy and burst out with a sharp edge for a moment."
Ye Chen said in a telepathic voice: "Master, your sword is too sharp, isn't it? It almost chopped off my head!"
He was shocked, but also felt a strong sense of anticipation and joy.
The World-Breaking and Melting Sky Sword is so sharp. If it were really sharpened, wouldn’t it be invincible?
Chi Lianjun said: "Of course, this old man's magic sword was forged to cut through the starry sky. If it can even cut through the starry sky, how difficult is it to cut you?"
"You are lucky not to have your head chopped off."
"When you recover, look around this place carefully. There must be something that can sharpen the sword. I will also deduce the cause and effect."
Ye Chen hummed, and moved his palms with difficulty to take back the World-Breaking and Melting Heaven Swords and the Emperor Sword into the Samsara Cemetery, and then silently adjusted his breathing to recover.
He is seriously injured now and can only lie on the ground. If these two swords unleash any more power, he will be in danger.
Tapping.
Not long after he adjusted his breath, Ye Chen discovered that a team of about a dozen people had arrived. The leader was riding a strange horse with black bones and red flames flashing.
"Ancestor, there are people here!"
Someone in the team saw Ye Chen in the weeds on the side of the road and pointed at him.
"Ok?"
The man in the lead was an old man in a gray robe. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ye Chen. His eyes flashed slightly and he said:
"Has another person fallen? His neck has been wiped, and he seems to be alive. Quickly feed him the Nine Springs Weak Water!"
After the old man gave the order, someone in the team responded, "Yes!"
He took out a water bag, walked to Ye Chen, and poured water into Ye Chen's throat.
Not from the mouth, but from the cut throat wound!
Ye Chen felt a sharp pain. He was seriously injured at this moment, but his fighting ability was not completely lost. If he wanted to resist, no one except the old man in gray robe could stop him.
However, Ye Chen did not act rashly. He just quietly recovered his breath and watched the situation develop.
