Chapter 12473 Bloody Wasteland

Chapter 12473 Bloody Wasteland

Mu Youying snorted, drew her sword, and prepared to fight, showing no fear of death whatsoever.

Ye Chen thought to himself, this golden lion is the mount of the Heavenly Saint. Even if it has degenerated today and is now carrying a deadly poison, its counterattack should not be underestimated.

"Alright, little one, calm down. With me here, no one can hurt you."

Ye Chen stepped forward and gently stroked the mane of the golden lion, his palm radiating a soft holy light.

That was the light of the sacred scripture!
At this moment, Ye Chen used the half-page of the Sacred Book, and gentle holy light flowed from between his fingers.

Sensing this holy light, the golden lion was stunned, its eyes wide with astonishment as it stared at Ye Chen in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice:

"This...this is...the sacred scripture!"

"Lord of Reincarnation, you...you inherited the Sacred Book?"

"No, this is impossible! I personally witnessed a Yin-Yang Divine Sword descend from the sky and destroy the Sacred Book of Heaven. How can the book still be here?"

Seeing the golden lion's expression, Ye Chen thought, "So it didn't know that there was still one page left in the Sacred Book of Heaven."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I am destined to be friends with your master, the Heavenly Sage."

"Well, let's not talk about that for now. Where is Fairy Lingtong? I want to see her."

Fairy Lingtong, one of the seven Primordial Gods, shares the same origin as the Skeleton Ancestor and Fairy Qingsi. Ye Chen also wants to get to know her.

At the same time, he was also curious as to why he had not noticed Fairy Lingtong was here at all, which was impossible.

The golden lion let out a cry, looking at the pitch-black night, and said, "By the way, demons are rampant at night. Without my protection, Fairy Lingtong will be in danger!"

"Lord of Reincarnation, come up here quickly!"

It bent down slightly, gesturing for Ye Chen to ride on its back.

Ye Chen then mounted the golden lion, which galloped away at full speed, ignoring Mu Youying.

Ye Chen glanced at Mu Youying and gestured for her to follow.

Mu Youying sheathed her longsword and followed behind without saying a word.

As Ye Chen rode on the back of the golden lion, he sensed a rotting, dark aura lurking beneath its golden form. He frowned and said:
"Little one, you seem to be unable to hold on any longer, put me down."

The golden lion said, "No, no need, I can still hold on."

"Alright." Seeing its stubborn attitude, Ye Chen said no more. After thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked again,

"Is the Heavenly Sage still alive? He was beheaded back then, but legend has it that he was later resurrected?"

The golden lion shook its head and said, "I don't know. After I was killed, I slept for a long time. When I woke up, I appeared in this desert. My body had degenerated, and I was burdened with a deadly poison curse. I feed on demons."

"By burning my essence and blood, I can temporarily evolve my body and transform it into this form, but it is difficult to sustain."

“I also want to return to the sanctuary in the center of the Land of No Worries, but to get to the Sanctuary of No Worries from this desert, I need to cross the Abyss of Eternal Silence.”

"There are many Annihilation Demons in the Eternal Silent Abyss. I cannot maintain my battle form for long and cannot break through them."

Ye Chen nodded after listening, seemingly understanding, and then asked, "What about Fairy Ling Tong? Is she your new master?"

The golden lion said, "I suppose so."

“I wanted to use her power to cross the Abyss of Eternal Silence, but she said that she was blind and her divine power was lost, so she couldn’t help me.”

"She could only teach me some eye techniques to protect my eyes from the curse."

"She is also waiting, waiting for the day when someone can cure her eyes."

“As long as her eyes are restored and her divine power is restored, she can take me back to the Sanctuary of No Worries.”

As it spoke, it raced along, quickly carrying Ye Chen to a withered oasis.

Within the withered oasis, a large number of humanoid demons had gathered, but unexpectedly, not a single demonic roar could be heard. All the demons were as silent as statues, yet their movements were as swift as lightning as they attacked a young girl.

The girl's eyes were covered by a black veil, making her appear blind. She held a long sword and fought against the demons. Her sword strikes were sharp and swift, and one demon after another fell down.

Those demons were also strange; even in death, they didn't utter a sound, and their companions nearby ignored them. The group of demons was like well-trained soldiers, fighting to the death without retreating.

Do demons possess intelligence?

Ye Chen was taken aback upon seeing this.

The demons in the Black Sand Ruins were all born from the power of the dark abyss and only had the instinct to kill. But the demons he saw now seemed to have intelligence!
Mu Youying, who was following behind, also found this scene quite strange.

"Fairy, be careful!"

Seeing the blindfolded girl surrounded and attacked, the golden lion roared and charged forward like a madman, biting and tearing with its claws, rampaging and smashing through the demons with unparalleled power, tearing them to shreds.

Ye Chen also drew the Heavenly Emperor Sword from its back and slew the demon.

The blindfolded girl was already exhausted from the attack by many demons. She breathed a sigh of relief and slowly retreated after being rescued by Ye Chen and the Golden Suanni.

Ye Chen and the Golden Suanni joined forces and instantly killed all the demons, leaving the ground covered in blood.

"Fairy, are you alright?"

The golden lion looked at the blindfolded girl and hurriedly said.

The blindfolded girl, however, maintained a cold expression and asked, "Suanni, where did you go?"

The golden lion said with remorse, "I... I was struck by a deadly poison curse and, fearing I might harm the fairy, I fled far away. I never expected the poison to flare up so violently this time. If it weren't for the Lord of Reincarnation's rescue, I... I'm afraid I would have died already."

"Fairy, I'm so sorry you were frightened. I'm just glad you're alright."

The blindfolded girl gave an "oh," still maintaining her indifferent demeanor. She listened intently, catching Ye Chen's breathing, and said, "So it's the Lord of Reincarnation who has arrived?"

She paused, sighed, and said:
"Unfortunately, you are not the one I'm waiting for."

The golden lion said, "Fairy, it is said that the Lord of Reincarnation has very powerful medical skills. He may be able to cure your eyes."

The blindfolded girl shook her head and said, "My eyes cannot be cured by medicine. Only a miracle, only hope, can give me a new life."

"The god of miracles and the god of hope that I am waiting for have not appeared."

"Without a miracle, without hope, how can my eyes regain their sight?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen thought to himself, "What a coincidence! The Goddess of Miracles is my daughter, and the Goddess of Hope is my friend."

He remained outwardly calm, jumped down from the golden lion's back, smiled slightly, and said to the blindfolded girl, "Are you truly the legendary Fairy Lingtong? Why can't I detect any divinity in you? Is it because you are blind?"

The blindfolded girl said, "That's right. Without her eyes, Fairy Lingtong is no longer a goddess, but a cripple. She would even have difficulty dealing with a group of demons."

Upon hearing her words, Ye Chen felt a deep connection to the heavens; she was indeed the Fairy Ling Tong.

Because she was blind and lacked divinity, Ye Chen could not sense any divinity from her even when they were face to face.

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "Fairy Lingtong, if I say I can heal you, what reward will you give me?"

Relying on miracles and hope, Ye Chen might be able to heal Fairy Ling Tong's eyes.

But he's the type to only act when he sees a benefit in return; he wouldn't help for nothing, he always wants to get something in return.

Fairy Lingtong thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I have lost all my divinity, and in order to maintain this crippled body, I have almost exhausted all the rare and precious materials. I really have no reward to give you."

"Besides, without miracles and hope, you can't cure my eyes."

Ye Chen said, "I can cure it, as long as you can offer a sufficient price."

Fairy Lingtong thought for a moment and said, "As for the price, I can only tell you one piece of information: if you don't want to die, be careful of someone."

Ye Chen asked in confusion, "What?"

Fairy Lingtong said, "Heart Celestial Venerable, if you don't want to die, be careful and don't provoke him."

"You have come here, presumably to seek the light of the Heavenly Sage, but unfortunately, the Heart Celestial Venerable also seeks the Heavenly Sage, and even wants to devour him!"

"You should know that all seven of us, the Primordial Gods, suffered from the backlash of the Abyss's malignant tumor, and each of us became corrupted and degenerate. In order to sever the Abyss, I blinded myself. As long as there is no light, I will not be parasitized by the tumor."

"And Xin Tianzun is also one of the seven Primordial Source Gods. He is the heart of the Primordial Era. A malignant tumor parasitized his heart, and he suffered the most.

"He wants to devour the light of the Heavenly Saint to purify the malignant tumor. You want to taint the Holy Light, and he will not let you go."

"Heart Celestial Venerable?" Ye Chen's expression changed immediately upon hearing this.

He never expected that behind the Land of No Worries, there was actually a Pillar God, and a Primordial Origin God at that.

The primordial heart, the Heavenly Venerable of the Heart!
"Is the Celestial Venerable of the Heart already in the Hall of No Worries?"

Ye Chen asked.

Fairy Lingtong said, "Yes, he is over there, but the light of the Heavenly Saint is not so easy to devour, so he has not succeeded yet."

"But if you dare to touch the Holy Light, he will surely kill you!"

"The Heart Celestial Venerable can kill without even lifting a finger. He can manipulate the minds of demons, making them kill you, or even control your mind to make you commit suicide!"

Looking at the demon corpses on the ground, Ye Chen recalled the demons' seemingly sentient appearance just now and felt a chill run down his spine. He asked, "These demons were controlled by the Heart Celestial Venerable?"

Fairy Lingtong said, "I suppose so. Back then, when the Heavenly Venerable Xin discovered me, he manipulated some demons to try to kill me, but I managed to evade him. His mental techniques remain here, and any demons that are corrupted by them will immediately be controlled and attack me like puppets."

Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine. The Pillar God's methods were indeed formidable; even the remaining mental techniques could control demons.

His Dao heart is strong, so he doesn't need to worry about being controlled by the Heart Celestial Venerable, but it is also troublesome for the Heart Celestial Venerable to control demons to kill people.

At this moment, Ye Chen calculated the future fortune and misfortune, and felt that there were many dangers ahead.

This Heavenly Venerable of the Heart is not to be underestimated!

Fairy Lingtong asked, "So, is the information I gave you enough to satisfy your reward?"

Ye Chen paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm afraid one piece of information from Xin Tianzun is not enough."

Fairy Lingtong chuckled and said, "Fine, if you're not afraid of death, I can tell you another piece of information, related to the Fragments of Frenzied Devouring."

Ye Chen asked, "What?"

Fairy Lingtong said, "The Mad Devouring Fragment, one of the four great abyss fragments, I know the whereabouts of the Mad Devouring Fragment."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes widened instantly, and he devoured the fragments. The value of this thing was immeasurable.

This Fairy Lingtong actually knows the whereabouts of the Frenzied Devouring Fragments!
"where is it?"

Ye Chen asked quickly.

Fairy Lingtong smiled slightly and said, "Such a great cause and effect cannot be spoken of lightly. You should heal my eyes first."

Ye Chen's heart pounded. He thought that if he could obtain the Fragment of Frenzied Devouring, he would have a powerful trump card to use against the Black Queen Mother in the future. So he nodded and said, "Okay!"

Fairy Lingtong gently removed the black veil covering her eyes and said, "Alright, how do you plan to heal me?"

Ye Chen looked into her eyes. Her eyes were beautiful, with black pupils as black as lacquer, but they were lifeless and unfocused, clearly indicating that she was blind.

Through those eyes, Ye Chen glimpsed a scene from the past, seeing Fairy Ling Tong actually using a dagger to stab herself in the eyes, blinding herself completely.

She was once plagued by the backlash of the abyss's toxic tumor, and only by blinding herself and severing her divinity could she find liberation.

But doing so is tantamount to crippling one's own cultivation. Once one's eyes are blinded, it will be difficult to recover. Even if one regains sight, it will take countless years to restore one's peak power.

"How can you cure it?" Fairy Lingtong asked again.

"Let's use miracles and hope!"

Ye Chen pointed his finger, and a beam of spiritual light shot out, landing on Fairy Lingtong's eyes.

This ray of light carries the healing power of abundant secret arts, the power of the miracle of floating brocade, and the power of the hope of dawn!
Enveloped in a divine aura of miracles and hope, coupled with the abundant vitality of life, Fairy Lingtong's originally dim eyes quickly regained their brilliance, becoming clear, bright, and spirited.

Her sight has been restored!

Ye Chen also paid a price; many of the rare and precious materials he had stored away were exhausted of their spiritual energy and turned to ashes at this moment.

However, this sacrifice is certainly worthwhile in order to obtain information about the Frenzied Devourer Fragments.

Fairy Lingtong was stunned. She blinked and looked around. Although it was a dark night, the golden lion was radiating light, which she could see clearly.

She could clearly see the withered oasis, the demon corpses on the ground, Mu Youying not far away, and Ye Chen standing in front of her.

Her vision has returned!

With her eyesight restored, Fairy Lingtong also regained a trace of her divinity, though not much, it was a good start.

With her divine nature restored, she became even more beautiful. Her skin became radiant and smooth, and her demeanor became much more elegant—an elegance unique to the divine!

"my eyes……"

Fairy Lingtong was stunned, never expecting that in just a moment, Ye Chen would actually heal her eyes.

"Can you see things now?"

Ye Chen smiled as he looked at Fairy Ling Tong, wanting to inquire about the whereabouts of the Frenzied Devouring Fragments.

But suddenly, Fairy Lingtong also looked at him, and a strange light suddenly appeared in her clear, lively and graceful eyes.

Before he could react, he suddenly felt dizzy and found himself standing on a blood-red wasteland, surrounded by white bones, with a cold wind carrying black mist rushing towards him.

"This is... a pupil technique, an illusion?"

Ye Chen's expression changed drastically as he realized he was tied to a wooden stake and unable to move.

Fairy Lingtong walked slowly from the wasteland, a gentle smile on her face, and slowly approached Ye Chen.

"What do you want to do?"

Ye Chen's eyes darkened. He hadn't expected that Fairy Lingtong would use her pupil technique to bewitch him as soon as her eyes regained their sight.

Ye Chen was also proficient in pupil techniques and illusion techniques, but he found that he was unable to break free at this moment.

He was crushed, crushed by the laws of Fairy Lingtong.

This is not a crushing defeat in terms of cultivation level, but a crushing defeat in terms of divinity and laws.

Fairy Lingtong herself is the eye of the primordial beginning, and the pupil technique that erupts from these eyes is the most powerful in all the heavens, even Ye Chen cannot compare.

"Lord of Reincarnation, thank you for healing my eyes."

"Let's be good to the end and let me eat you up."

"Your flesh and blood are very nourishing."

"My eyesight has just been restored, and I'm still very weak. I need to eat some nourishing foods, haha."

Fairy Lingtong smiled, pressed her body against Ye Chen, her eyes alluring, and gently lifted Ye Chen's chin with her fingers before kissing him on the lips.

Ye Chen was horrified. He had always been the one who devoured the Pillar Gods, and he never imagined that one day he would be devoured by one.

laugh!
In the critical moment, Ye Chen had a sudden thought, and the spiritual energy in his dantian gathered, transforming into a sword aura that slashed out.

However, when the sword light struck Fairy Lingtong, it was as if it were striking thin air, passing right through without harming her in the slightest.

Fairy Lingtong chuckled and said, "It's no use. This is my Spirit Eye Illusion Realm. I am the master of this world. How could you possibly hurt me?"

"However, I am very grateful to you for healing my eyes. Please tell me if you have any last wishes."

Fairy Lingtong wrapped her arms around Ye Chen's neck, kissing his neck, lips, eyes, nose, and mouth. Finally, she extended her tongue and gently licked his neck, looking like a venomous snake licking its prey.

Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine as he pondered how to escape.

He was horrified to discover that his connection with the Reincarnation Graveyard had been severed within this illusory realm of spiritual vision, as if a mesmerizing mist was enveloping his entire body.

He could no longer sense the Heavenly Emperor Sword, the Starry Sky Dao Book, the Eternal Wall, and so on, and he could no longer use many of his divine powers.

Fortunately, he was able to detect the fluctuations in the aura of the Heavenly Light Divine Water and the Black Abyss Poison Spring. These two supreme divine objects were not easily concealed.

But in Fairy Lingtong's illusory world, would Heavenly Light Divine Water and Black Abyss Poison Spring be effective?

Ye Chen was unaware that he felt a sense of despair and suffocation.

"Lord of Samsara."

In his moment of despair, Ye Chen heard a voice calling out.

He saw a ray of light appear in the sky above the blood-red wasteland. That ray of light, like the breaking of dawn, instantly gave Ye Chen, who was in despair, hope.

It is the light of dawn.
