Chapter 12537 How to Overcome the Crisis

Yu Shen's features were contorted as he frantically tried to shrink his divine life force into a tiny space the size of a mustard seed to avoid complete death.

The final sword intent can kill him directly, leaving not even ashes. He will die, leaving only the laws of space.

However, he reacted quickly, shrinking his divine power and life force into a mustard seed. As for this body, he could no longer keep it.

Ye Chen felt the spatial law aura on Yu Shen's body suddenly disappear, annihilated in the final sword intent.

No, there is also the core spatial law, divine authority and destiny, which has shrunk, shrinking into a point invisible to the naked eye, a point that does not exist in the main world space, becoming a mustard seed.

"thump."

The two, who were supposed to be joined together and merge into one in time and space, were separated on the spot, and Yu Shen's body, or rather his corpse, fell directly to the ground.

This should be considered a corpse. Its skin had turned completely black, a pitch-black color caused by the erosion of the end times. This body had completely lost its vitality, and all traces of the laws of space had disappeared.

But Ye Chen knew that Yu Shen was actually still alive, only shrunk into a mustard seed.

He didn't die, but he was seriously injured, even more so than the previous Tingyou Ancestor!

"Big brother……"

Xi Yue was stunned. From her perspective, Ye Chen had killed Yu Shen with a single sword strike, which was truly terrifying.

That's a pillar god!

The body of the God of the Universe had turned black. His death caused the entire island to tremble violently and the space to collapse. The sunlight that was stored in the small spaces was completely swallowed up by the darkness of the night outside, and the world in this area was plunged into boundless darkness.

"Ho..."

Ye Chen was panting heavily, feeling as if he was about to be swallowed by darkness.

The swordsmanship that employs the laws of the end times, coupled with the backlash from the divine path of time, is simply too deadly.

During his previous duel with Jiang Su, he suffered a backlash from the aura of the end times, which he only managed to resolve by using the Sacred Book of Heaven.

Now that the Sacred Words and Heavenly Books are being used to encase the Heavenly Sacred Bottle to prevent the Frenzied Devouring Fragments from rioting, Ye Chen has no more cards to play.

He activated the Corona Bead to illuminate and nourish himself, and his depleted spiritual energy quickly recovered. However, his eyes were still dark, and his muscles felt endlessly tired. The backlash from the end had not been relieved.

Even the Corona Dzi Bead couldn't avert the final backlash.

"Heavenly Ancestor, you...you look like you're going to die! Don't scare me!"

In the Reincarnation Graveyard, Jun Tianwu exclaimed in surprise, still calling Ye Chen "Heavenly Ancestor".

Ye Chen was suffering from the backlash of the Law of the End. The darkness of the end had already invaded the Reincarnation Graveyard, and large swaths of pitch black spread like venomous snakes.

Little Star and Fu Jin wanted to speak, but the darkness of the end times swept over them, and they couldn't even utter a word. They felt as if they were about to be swallowed up in the next instant.

"I'm here to help you!"

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Jun Tianwu hurriedly activated his own essence of blood and flesh, pouring it into Ye Chen's body without regard for his own resources.

Ye Chen felt much more energetic, but the backlash from the final darkness had not subsided and was still eroding him.

Before long, he will annihilate the entire Reincarnation Graveyard, along with him, Jun Tianwu, Xiao Xingxing Fu Jin, and the others!
This is the end, annihilating everything, burying everything, letting everything return to silence!
"The Great Way of Time, where calamity leads to the future!"

In the critical moment, Ye Chen gritted his teeth, made a hand seal, and released the light of the Time God. A strange scene appeared: the final darkness on his body suddenly disappeared, and the radiance of the Corona Heavenly Pearl shone from his skin, illuminating the entire island.

"Big brother!"

Upon seeing this, Xi Yue immediately rushed over, hugged Ye Chen tightly, and almost cried, saying...

"Are you okay?"

Ye Chen was just struck by the backlash of the final darkness, which was truly terrifying. That wave of dark annihilation was more frightening than any darkness in the world, and Xi Yue couldn't even get close to it.

Only when she saw Ye Chen recover, the darkness dissipate, and the light shine, was she able to approach him.

"I'm all right."

Ye Chen smiled and patted Xi Yue's head.

"Oh!" Xi Yue seemed to have thought of something and said, "Big brother, I should call you father." So she changed her address and called him "father".

Ye Chen laughed and said, "It's alright, call me whatever you want."

"In short, you are my daughter, and I will treat you well."

He then picked up Xiyue and spun her around twice.

Xi Yue giggled and said, "Yes, I am your daughter."

Ye Chen smiled and did not explain the situation to Xi Yue.

Actually, he did not recover.

The backlash from the end is terrifying, and it is a backlash at the level of laws.

The law of the end is the strongest law in the world; nothing is more powerful than the end.

Ye Chen's current strength is much greater than when he competed in the Dragon Battle, and the ultimate sword technique he unleashed is also more ferocious than before.

This means that the backlash he suffers is far more terrible than before.

This backlash was so powerful that even the Corona Dzi Bead couldn't neutralize it, nor could Ye Chen. He could only use the method of diverting the flow of misfortune to bury the damage of this backlash in his future.

He estimated that the final calamity would erupt within a month at most, and it might even double, enough to instantly kill him.

However, for now, Ye Chen could only do this. The end was about to explode, and he was about to die. By using the laws of time to divert the disaster and bury it in the future, he had at least a month's grace.

However, even though he had clearly directed the ultimate disaster into the future, Ye Chen still had a sense of danger, like a thorn in his back, a fishbone stuck in his throat, or a sharp sword hanging over his head, about to fall at any moment.

"Master Tingyou!"

Ye Chen's face twitched, and he immediately became alert. He summoned the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword and slashed towards the depths of the island.

The Ancestor Tingyou is in seclusion here. Before that, the universe was isolated from the outside world, and the two could not communicate.

But now, the island's spatial domain has collapsed, and Ancestor Tingyou must have been awakened and knows everything.

Strangely, Ye Chen couldn't detect the aura of the Listening Nether Ancestor. The other party must have awakened and was deliberately concealing his aura, hiding it very well.

Ye Chen relied on his fighting instincts to unleash his flying sword strikes.

But in the next instant, his flying sword, which had slashed deep into the island, was bounced back by an invisible force.

It is the power of the Listening Ancestor!

Ancestor Tingyou is in seclusion here, and his injuries have recovered somewhat. Although he is far from having the strength he once had, it is not difficult for him to deflect Ye Chen's flying sword.

"Lord of Reincarnation, you've already suffered the backlash of the end times, and you still want to kill me?"

“Truly stubborn and incorrigible, Iron Tomb, Abandoned Heaven, and Star Slayer, come and meet the Lord of Reincarnation.”

From deep within the island, an aged voice rang out, slightly weak but very steady, with a hint of ferocity and killing intent emanating from behind it.

It was the voice of Master Tingyou!
After he finished speaking, a thunderous roar of a storm came from afar, as if some powerful force was riding the wind and waves, rushing towards them.

Ye Chen sensed an overwhelming danger. Although he was currently planting seeds of future trouble and would not suffer any backlash for the time being, he still had the seed of the final calamity within him and should not resort to violence. Otherwise, it would affect his internal energy, and the final calamity that was supposed to erupt a month later might be detonated prematurely!

"Heavenly Ancestor, danger! Let's go!"

Inside the Reincarnation Graveyard, Jun Tianwu also sensed something was wrong and urged Ye Chen to leave.

He was still supporting himself with his arms, mobilizing his own blood essence to nourish Ye Chen and keep Ye Chen in combat.

However, Ye Chen carries the seeds of ultimate calamity within him, making it unwise for him to resort to violence.

"Ok!"

Ye Chen nodded, took Xi Yue's hand, and prepared to leave.

But he had only taken a few steps when he felt layers of invisible energy walls blocking his way. These energy walls were extremely tight and powerful, and with the seeds of disaster within him, he was unable to break through them for the time being.

Master You snorted and said, "Lord of Reincarnation, don't even think about escaping."

“The disciples of my Lu Dao Sect have already locked onto your aura. Even if you escape this island, you will not escape their grasp.”

"It's better to stay and die obediently, at least I can say goodbye to my daughter before I die."

Sensing the invisible wall in front of her, Xi Yue gritted her teeth, released Ye Chen's hand, took a few steps back, and said:

"Big brother, move aside a bit!"

"I'll break through the barrier!"

She lay sprawled on the ground, her body adorned with black armor and the image of a rhinoceros, about to transform into the form of a giant rhinoceros.

But then, with a hiss, a fine blade of light swept past, slicing through the air wall as easily as cutting tofu. Layer upon layer of the air wall, as if corroded by sulfuric acid, hissed and emitted wisps of black smoke.

Two women floated lightly onto the island.

One of them was dressed in a black gauze dress and held a long, thin, and cold-looking sword in her hand. The sword was surrounded by ghostly energy, and her slender hand was slowly sheathing the sword.

"Mother!"

When Xi Yue saw the woman in the black gauze dress, she cried out with joy, scrambled to her feet, ran over, and threw herself into the woman's arms.

The woman's face was cold and aloof, carrying an unchanging tranquility. When she saw Xiyue rush into her arms, she simply raised her hand and gently touched Xiyue's hair.

"Qingxue..."

When Ye Chen saw the woman in the black dress, his heart trembled violently as if struck by lightning. The woman was none other than Feng Qingxue.

Feng Qingxue heard Ye Chen's shout, but remained indifferent, not even glancing at Ye Chen, and said coldly, "You've mistaken me for someone else. Lord of Reincarnation, my name is Ghost Blade Princess."

"Speaking of which, we have a grudge. You killed my senior brother, the Desolate Ghost Emperor, so I will consider taking revenge on you."

At this point, she glanced at Xiyue, "But not now."

Ye Chen stepped forward and said, "What are you saying? Xi Yue is our daughter, we should..."

Feng Qingxue said, "Stop! Don't come any closer, or I'll have to draw my sword."

He said, his hand on the knife handle, his face wary and alert.

Ye Chen was stunned.

Xi Yue was also taken aback and said, "Mother, you are clearly the Goddess of Love, Feng Qingxue. I have already used the Star Sea Fate Plate to deduce that you and my eldest brother have been in love for ten thousand years. Why don't you recognize him?"

Upon hearing this, a slight ripple appeared on Feng Qingxue's usually aloof face, and a hint of emotion flickered in her deep eyes. However, she quickly regained her indifferent demeanor and said:

"Feng Qingxue is dead. I ate her."

"I am Ghost Blade Princess, not Feng Qingxue."

"Just like the Lord of Reincarnation, who devoured the God of the Universe, the God of Death, Vishnu, Brahma, and even the Ancestor of the Gods, he is still himself. Those pillar gods he devoured have become foundation stones and will not affect his will."

“I devoured Feng Qingxue, and Feng Qingxue is already dead. I am Guidaoji, and I inherited Feng Qingxue’s Dao, but I have no interest in inheriting her emotional ties, which are torturous.”

"The Great Way is ruthless; my Way must never be entangled by emotions!"

Upon hearing this, Xi Yue was stunned and didn't know what to say.

The woman beside Feng Qingxue gently stroked Xi Yue's cheek and smiled tenderly:
"Alright, Xiyue, let's not talk about this anymore. It's too dangerous here, let's go quickly."

The woman was dressed in luxurious clothes, wearing a magnificent golden phoenix shawl with cloud patterns. Compared to Feng Qingxue, who was only wearing a simple black dress, she was dazzlingly gorgeous, and her brows also carried an elegant temperament.

Feng Qingxue was already stunningly beautiful, but when she stood next to her, her appearance was in no way inferior. However, her temperament was too flamboyant and ostentatious, like a colorful phoenix, but lacking the gentle and elegant grace.

Xi Yue looked at the gorgeously dressed woman and called out, "Sister Ni Chang." Her voice sounded quite aggrieved.

"The Last Lady of the Rainbow Robes, and the Great God of Love, have you both arrived?"

Deep within the island, the voice of Ancestor Tingyou echoed, filled with apprehension. He hadn't expected that Ni Changjun and Feng Qingxue would arrive before the disciples he had summoned.

He was still injured and should not fight.

If it were just Ni Changjun, or just Feng Qingxue, they would be easy to deal with.

But the two women combined are not to be underestimated.

Although this Yin-Yang Star Sea is the territory of the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect, and the Lu Dao Sect has the advantage of favorable timing and location, if a real fight breaks out, suppressing these two women will inevitably come at a huge cost.

Feng Qingxue said coldly, "I told you, I am Ghost Blade Princess."

Master Tingyou chuckled and said, "Fine, Ghost Blade Princess is Ghost Blade Princess. I can't be bothered with your love-hate entanglement with the Lord of Reincarnation."

"But don't worry, I will sever your emotional ties today. Great love... no, Ghost Blade Princess, hehe, as long as you kill the Lord of Reincarnation, you will naturally no longer suffer from the pain of emotional ties."

Xi Yue said, "No, I can't hurt my big brother!"

She gritted her teeth and tried to rush out, but Ni Changjun grabbed her by the back of the neck, and she was immediately unable to move.

At this moment, a series of rapid sonic booms came from the outside, and several golden sword energies flew fiercely towards them.

Swish swish!
First, three golden sword lights pierced through the air and rushed in, filling the sky with a fierce and murderous sword intent. On each flying sword stood a man, all with eyes like morning stars and a sharp aura, looking down at the scene below.

"Iron Tomb Lord, a true disciple of the Slaughtering Dao Sect!"

"The true disciple of the Slaughtering Dao Sect, Abandoned Heavenly Monarch!"

"Zhu Xingjun, a true disciple of the Luodao Sect!"

The three men looked down at Ye Chen, Feng Qingxue, Ni Changjun, Xi Yue, and the others, announced their names, and their voices were like thunder, bringing a strong sense of oppression.

Then, they heard even more intense whooshing sounds coming from behind. A large group of disciples also flew over on their swords, their formation orderly and meticulous, just like an army.

These were all disciples of the Lu Dao Sect, each exuding a murderous aura and possessing a solemn demeanor.

"Yes, Iron Tomb, Abandoned Heaven, Star Slayer, you've arrived."

Hearing the voice of Master You coming from behind the island, and seeing his own disciple arrive, he felt much more at ease.

The three true disciples bowed in unison towards the direction of Patriarch Tingyou and said, "Greetings, Patriarch!"

Tiemu Jun then asked, "Is the Ancestor in good health?"

Master Tingyou said, "I am perfectly fine. It would be even better if you killed the Lord of Reincarnation and brought me his head."

Iron Tomb Lord replied, "Yes!"

His eyes flashed with murderous intent as he stared at Ye Chen.

Qitianjun and Zhuxingjun, along with the disciples of Ludao Sect present, were also filled with murderous intent, drawing their swords and preparing to attack, surrounding Ye Chen.

They had long heard that Ye Chen had committed a heinous crime, actually injuring Ancestor Tingyou. Now that Ye Chen was right in front of them, everyone had the urge to kill and seek revenge.

When Ni Changjun saw that she and Feng Qingxue were also surrounded by people from the Lu Dao Sect, she chuckled and shouted:
“Master Tingyou, if you want to kill the Lord of Reincarnation, you must not harm the innocent.”

"Ghost Blade Princess and I were just passing by. We'll be leaving now. Please ask your disciple to make way. I would be extremely grateful."

After a moment of silence from Ancestor You, who knew that going to extremes would inevitably come at a great cost, and that it was enough that Ni Changjun and Feng Qingxue did not assist Ye Chen, he said:

"Step aside."

Upon hearing this, Tie Mujun and the others immediately stepped forward in unison, making way for each other. Their steps were solemn and orderly, just like an army.

"Thank you."

Ni Changjun smiled and said thank you, then picked up Xi Yue and was about to leave. Before leaving, she saw Yu Shen's corpse, and with a seemingly casual roll of her sleeve, she said...
"The corpse of this God of the Universe has been strangled by the end, and is of no use to you. Let me take it away."

They then took away the body of the God of the Universe.

Upon hearing that Yu Shen was indeed dead, and that the spiritual essence of his corpse had been annihilated by the sword intent of the end, thus losing all value and perhaps only having some use for the Temple of the End, Ancestor Tingyou hummed in agreement and allowed Ni Changjun to take it away.

"Waaah—I want to stay! I can't leave my big brother behind!"

Xi Yue burst into tears, struggling violently, but Ni Changjun held her by the back of the neck, and she couldn't muster any strength. She cried out, "Father!"

She was taken away by Ni Chang-jun.

Feng Qingxue placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, remained silent for a moment, and then followed Ni Changjun.

Ye Chen remained silent throughout, not because he didn't want to speak, but because the killing intent of the three powerful figures—Iron Tomb Lord, Abandoned Heaven Lord, and Star Slayer Lord—enveloped him.
