Chapter 12538 You're all going to die.

Chapter 12538 You're all going to die.

At this moment, Ye Chen was like prey being targeted by three fierce tigers. He concealed his aura and focused all his attention on how to defend himself, how to resist, or how to escape.

His romantic feelings for Feng Qingxue were completely overshadowed by the terror of their impending life-or-death situation. Even Xi Yue's loud shouts and cries hadn't affected him in the slightest; his entire focus was on preparing for the fierce battle to come.

Compared to these three powerful figures, the pressure from the other disciples of the Lu Dao Sect was nothing.

"Heavenly Ancestor, I can't hold on much longer, the pressure is too much!"

In the Reincarnation Graveyard, Jun Tianwu grinned, revealing a helpless expression.

The pressure from the three true disciples under the tutelage of Ancestor Tingyou was too intense. He had to support Ye Chen's body and resist the three pressures at the same time, which was really difficult for him.

"This...this is the only way to break this deadlock is for Brother Haotian to take action!"

"Brother Haotian, are you still not going to show yourself?"

As Jun Tianwu looked at the tombstone of the Haotian Ancestor, he could sense a surge of courage emanating from the Reincarnation Cemetery. The Haotian Ancestor had actually been resurrected, but he had been hiding within the tombstone and refused to reveal himself.

Old Ancestor Youtian shook his head, no longer expecting Old Ancestor Haotian to appear. Sensing the perilous situation, he said to Ye Chen, "Tomb Master, let's go. I'll cover your escape!"

"By relying on the Netherworld Night Path and creating darkness, we might be able to escape alive."

Ye Chen said, "I'm afraid they can't escape."

He could feel that his aura had been completely locked, making it extremely difficult to escape under the watchful eyes of Tie Mujun and the others.

Even if he manages to escape this island, the Yin-Yang Star Sea is vast, and he probably won't be able to escape; in the end, he will still be caught.

"This is the end, Lord of Reincarnation!"

Iron Tomb Lord flicked his finger and his flying sword shot out, its divine light blazing as it hurtled towards Ye Chen's head. The sword's momentum was overwhelming, and it even faintly carried the pressure of the Heavenly Dao!
Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine. He felt that the sword energy of the Iron Tomb Lord had completely enveloped his body, and he had become a lamb to the slaughter.

Ye Chen knew that this was a life-or-death situation.

"The Law of Reincarnation buries cause and effect!"

He gritted his teeth and unleashed the sixth level of the Reincarnation Burial Technique, the Method of Burying Cause and Effect!

This method of burying cause and effect is not meant to bury Iron Tomb Lord's flying sword; that is not something he can easily bury.

He buried the karma within himself, temporarily burying the karma that would inevitably trigger the seeds of the final calamity if he used force!

In other words, if Ye Chen makes another move now, he won't trigger the seed of disaster again!
The causal connection has been buried!
"Heavenly Death Abyss Sword!"

Ye Chen unleashed the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, unleashing the Absolute Abyss Sword Dao. He did not use his divine authority. Although he buried the cause and effect, he naturally would not be too reckless, lest he truly trigger the seeds of disaster and be doomed forever.

However, the dark sword light of the Absolute Abyss Sword Dao still unleashed a deathly killing intent comparable to divine authority. In addition, Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword was sharp, and Jun Tianwu was also providing strong support for him in the Reincarnation Graveyard.

The muscles in his arm, gripping the sword, bulged, displaying a surging martial arts power.

Click!

The two swords clashed. Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword and Tie Mujun's flying sword clashed fiercely. In a single strike, Ye Chen severed Tie Mujun's flying sword in two.

It's unclear whether it was because his Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword was too sharp, or because he had the support of Jun Tianwu.

"what!"

Iron Tomb Lord was shocked, never expecting that his flying sword would be severed in a single exchange.

His flying sword broke, and he suffered a backlash. His blood and qi surged in his chest and abdomen, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"The Lord of Reincarnation is indeed quite something!"

"Brothers, let's attack together and kill him!"

Iron Tomb Lord's face twisted in pain. He dared not be careless any longer and shouted, beckoning the people around him to attack together.

Immediately, Qitianjun, Zhuxingjun, and a group of Ludaozong disciples shouted in unison, frantically unleashing their swords and blades, slashing and killing Ye Chen in a massive attack.

With one hand wielding their swords and the other making hand seals, a barrage of supernatural powers and spells rained down on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's face darkened. If it were a one-on-one fight with Tie Mujun, he could still hold his own with the trump cards he still had. But since the Lu Dao Sect members were so uncivilized and attacked him all at once, he really had no way to deal with them.

"Tomb owner, run!"

"Youtian Jiye Dao!"

Within the Reincarnation Graveyard, seeing the situation was dire, Ancestor Youtian immediately unleashed the Youtian Extreme Night Dao technique. Boundless dark energy erupted from Ye Chen's body, instantly sweeping across the surroundings like a tidal wave.

Originally, the Yin-Yang Star Sea was in darkness, but it was illuminated by the divine light of cultivation emanating from the members of the Lu Dao Sect. However, at this moment, when Ancestor You Tian unleashed his dark magic, boundless darkness frantically engulfed the surroundings, burying all the light.

The world was plunged into eternal darkness once more, obscuring the light of all supernatural powers, spells, magical treasures, and flying swords.

"Ouch!"

"what!"

"it's me!"

……

The disciples of the Lu Dao Sect were immediately thrown into chaos, but their vision suddenly went dark. Many of their flying swords and spells bombarded their own people.

"go!"

Ancestor Youtian shouted, "If we don't leave now, we'll miss our chance!"

"Ok!"

Ye Chen nodded solemnly and was about to leave when suddenly a ray of light, like the breaking of dawn, shot out from the Reincarnation Graveyard and then shot straight out along the top of his head.

The divine light broke through the darkness that had just been an eternal night, instantly illuminating the world and turning the surrounding sea area into daylight.

Iron Tomb Lord, Abandoned Heaven Lord, Star Slayer Lord and others were stunned. They had just wanted to use their methods to break Ye Chen's Eternal Night spell, but unexpectedly, at this moment, the divine light of dawn shone from Ye Chen's body, tearing apart all the darkness.

What kind of thing is this?
The three were puzzled, but also became wary, because they sensed that a terrifying aura was rapidly reviving within Ye Chen's body.

"This breath..."

Behind the island, even Ancestor Tingyou's voice trembled with fear.

Ye Chen was also taken aback. He turned his gaze to the Reincarnation Graveyard and saw that the tombstone of the Haotian Ancestor was now trembling violently. Countless divine lights shot out like the dawn, bursting out of the Reincarnation Graveyard and out of Ye Chen's crown, illuminating the starry sea for thousands of miles, which was incomparably brilliant and magnificent.

Inside the Reincarnation Graveyard, Jun Tianwu and You Tian Ancestor were stunned by what they saw.

"Brother Haotian...is he coming out?"

Amidst the rolling divine light, a majestic figure rose from the tombstone, looking almost exactly like the Heavenly Ancestor. However, there was no trace of kindness in his eyes, only a resolute, courageous, and domineeringly sharp aura.

His body was hazy and indistinct, clearly just a remnant soul.

Even though he was just a remnant soul, his domineering and fierce aura gave people the feeling that even the heavens and earth, the sun and moon, and the universe and stars would have to bow down at his feet.

He is the embodiment of the Heavenly Ancestor's courage, the former ancestor of the Haotian family, Haotian Lanshen!
"Big brother!"

Upon seeing Haotian Lanshen finally appear, Juntian Wu and Youtian Ancestor were both extremely excited.

Haotian Lanshen didn't appear as old as Tianzu; he looked more like a middle-aged man in his fifties. He possessed a mountain-like composure, coldness, and imposing presence. He glanced at Juntian Wu and Youtian Ancestor, and said:

"How can we run away before the battle has even reached its final moment?"

Where is your courage?

Jun Tianwu and You Tian Laozu were stunned and speechless.

"Big brother, I...I can't hold on any longer."

Jun Tianwu said dejectedly, unable to hold on any longer, and his body collapsed to the ground.

Ye Chen lost the support of Jun Tianwu and felt his blood and energy greatly depleted, but he did not feel empty.

Because Haotian Lanshen appeared, standing tall in the Samsara Graveyard like a pillar supporting Ye Chen's body.

Haotian Lanshen looked at Juntian Wu and said, "If your soul hasn't been scattered yet, it proves that you still have the strength to fight. Summon your courage and stand up."

Jun Tianwu said helplessly, "Big brother, I... I don't want to move anymore, you do it."

Haotian Lanshen shook his head and said, "Your courage is not enough. It is my fault as the eldest brother."

He looked up at the sky, and then his body flashed, flying directly out of the Reincarnation Graveyard.

Ye Chen was stunned. He saw Haotian Lanshen fly out and stand behind him. His soul body expanded and grew stronger, growing dozens of feet tall in the blink of an eye, just like a celestial being, awe-inspiring and majestic.

The disciples of the Luodao Sect, including Tiemujun, Zhuxingjun, and Qitianjun, were utterly shocked when they suddenly saw Haotian Lanshen behind Ye Chen, feeling an overwhelming pressure and domineering aura pressing down on them.

"Great Storm God, it's you!"

The Listening Ancestor, deep within the island, also let out a cry of surprise, but quickly regained his composure and said,
“I have heard that you are the embodiment of the courage of the Heavenly Ancestor, the second incarnation of the Heavenly Ancestor, a remarkable and great figure.”

"Back then, during the struggle between the New Heaven and the Nine Heavens, if you hadn't suddenly suffered a heavenly tribulation and your physical body hadn't been scorched, those Four Heavenly Gates probably wouldn't have been able to replace the Nine Heavens Clan, right?"

"Unexpectedly, your soul, which had not been annihilated, was hidden within the body of the Reincarnation Body, and has now been revived."

Haotian Lan said, "The past is the past. Ancestor Tingyou, I have heard that you are a pillar god-level expert, born in accordance with the Great Dao. Come out and fight me!"

Master Tingyou chuckled and said, "I am seriously injured and am still in seclusion recuperating. I'm afraid I can't come out."

"Furthermore, you are just a wisp of a remnant soul, how dare you stand up for the Lord of Reincarnation?"

"With only a remnant soul, you are probably no match for the combined forces of my disciples."

Upon hearing this, Tie Mujun and the others were immediately invigorated.

By the way, although Haotian Lanshen was renowned and incredibly powerful, that was all in the past. Now, he is just a wisp of a remnant soul. With the power of the Ludao Sect, there's no reason why they couldn't even defeat a remnant soul.

Haotian Lan said, "No, I am not entirely a wandering ghost."

"I still have one hand."

Haotian Lanshen raised his right hand. His right hand was warm and powerful, with distinct knuckles, and was shrouded in a layer of divine light. It was not a hand in a soul state, but a hand with real flesh and blood!
His entire body was in a state of remnant soul, except for his right hand, which was flesh and blood and full of power.

"what?"

"How is this going?"

Upon seeing this, Master Tingyou was immediately taken aback, unable to understand what was going on.

Why is it that Haotian Lanshen, though completely dead and a remnant soul, still has one hand, still possessing the vitality of flesh and blood?

For powerhouses at the Heavenly Dao Realm or even the Pillar God level, the physical body is extremely important.

Many martial arts techniques and supernatural abilities rely on the physical body to perform. If one only has the soul, their strength will be greatly reduced, and they may even be unable to maintain their own existence, falling into the abyss.

If Haotian Lanshen is merely a pure soul, then Ancestor Tingyou is confident that, with the combined strength of his disciples, they can annihilate him.

But when Haotian Lanshen suddenly had another hand, things changed.

"Little fellow, lend me your sword!"

Haotian Lanshen extended his only remaining hand, made of flesh and blood, and addressed Ye Chen.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen immediately threw out the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword.

Haotian Lan Shen caught the sword, his eyes filled with a strange light, and exclaimed in admiration:

"What a sword!"

"This is the strongest sword in the world, without exception!"

"Is this the divine sword forged by Lord Chi Lian? His forging skills are truly extraordinary!"

"If only I had this sword back then..."

A fierce, domineering, and ruthless glint of murderous intent surged in his eyes, but it quickly faded amidst chaotic sighs, helplessness, and sorrow. Finally, his gaze became as steady and cold as a mountain as he looked at the members of the Slaughtering Dao Sect, raising his sword with one hand.

"Come at me all at once, I'll kill you all."

These words shocked the entire audience.

Both Ye Chen's and Tie Mujun's sides were taken aback. No one expected Haotian Lanshen to be so arrogant.

"Old man, you only have one hand left, and you still dare to be so arrogant!"

"Do it!"

Iron Tomb Lord was also enraged. With a wave of his hand, he and his disciples launched a fierce attack on Haotian Lanshen.

Haotian Lanshen swung his sword, but he couldn't break even one of the three seals on the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword. However, with the infusion of spiritual energy, the entire sword still unleashed a terrifying sharpness. A wisp of sword energy, as mysterious as the mist in the mountains, carrying the aura of reincarnation and the reaping of souls, slashed forward horizontally.

He is the incarnation of the Heavenly Ancestor, and he also knows the Samsara Technique. He has transformed all the mysteries of the Samsara Technique into his own unique sword intent.

It is the sword intent of "Lan".

What is a "岚" (lán)?
The mist and fog in the mountains and forests are ethereal and unpredictable, appearing and disappearing like ghosts; this is called "Lan".

He is Yunlan, he is Shanwu, he is the God of Deception. He possesses the strongest courage, but he is by no means a reckless man.

His sword is elusive and often reaps the souls of the dead without them even realizing it.

Enemies, caught in his swordplay, were like those lost in a mountain mist, unable to distinguish reality from illusion, and were annihilated by his sword energy in boundless confusion.

"careful!"

Iron Tomb Lord sensed the danger of Haotian Lanshen's sword energy, let out a roar, and summoned a Yin-Yang Starry Sky Cauldron, smashing it fiercely towards Haotian Lanshen.

The Starry Sky Cauldron is the trump card of the warriors on the other side of the starry sky. Everyone has forged a Starry Sky Cauldron, which is like a natal magic weapon.

In his panic, Tie Mujun smashed his own Starry Sky Cauldron in a single move.

His Starry Sky Cauldron possesses Yin-Yang profound energy, and its body bears a Bagua totem, which is quite mysterious. Within the starry sky's pressure, there is also the suppression of Yin-Yang Daoist techniques.

Yin and Yang can suppress divine authority, but Haotian Lanshen was fearless. He swung his sword and struck, and with a clang, sparks flew everywhere. He knocked away Tie Mujun's Starry Sky Cauldron, which cracked on the spot, and Tie Mujun coughed up blood.

At this moment, Qitianjun and Zhuxingjun, along with many disciples of Ludao Sect, launched a fierce attack, unleashing a torrent of divine powers and spells upon Haotian Lanshen.

Haotian Lanshen remained fearless, wielding his sword like a ghost, or like mist drifting through the mountains and forests, enveloping his entire body, and actually shattering all the supernatural powers and spells that bombarded him.

His soul body couldn't withstand the bombardment, but his sword was too fast, fast enough to break through the cycle of time and space. With the dance of the sword light, he cut down all the supernatural powers and spells that bombarded him, as well as many flying swords and magical treasures.

Ye Chen, standing to the side, was dazzled by the sight.

"The earth's veins are shrouded in nine netherworlds, encompassing all things in the universe!"

Seeing the situation was dire, the Tingyou Ancestor, deep within the island, chanted a spell and cast a spell. Instantly, the Yin-Yang Star Sea trembled, as if the tectonic plates on the seabed were undergoing an earthquake, and energy from the depths of the earth's veins surged forth.

A strange wisp of black energy inexplicably surged up and quickly entered Haotian Lanshen's soul.

Without the protection of a physical body, the soul is so fragile that it is easily attacked, and even inexplicable curses can penetrate into the soul.

This time, it was Ancestor Tingyou who activated the power of the earth veins, turning the Yin Qi of the Nine Netherworlds hidden deep within the earth veins into a curse, and forcefully pouring it into Haotian Lanshen's body.

The Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent is filled with rich Yin-Yang power, and the earth's veins conceal many Netherworld evil energies that can bewitch people's minds and disrupt their aura.

Although Master Tingyou was injured and unable to fight head-on, he still used some of the earth vein curse techniques with unparalleled skill.

Haotian Lanshen was impacted by the evil energy of the Nine Netherworlds. He felt that illusions were appearing before his eyes. He made a quick decision and stabbed his own soul with a backhand sword.

Suddenly, a tearing pain shot through his soul, and the illusion before his eyes vanished completely under the stimulation of the pain.

Then, he swung his sword again, slashing at the disciples of the Lu Dao Sect.

Everyone was driven back, many of them coughing up blood and seriously injured, but no one died.

This wasn't because Haotian Lanshen showed mercy, but because he was ultimately just a remnant soul with only one hand left, and his strength was insufficient.

These are not ordinary disciples of the Luodao Sect, but rather three true disciples—Iron Tomb Lord, Star Slayer Lord, and Abandoned Heaven Lord—carrying the burden at the front.

“The three of you are very courageous, able to protect the weak and fight against my sword.”

Haotian Lanshen looked at Tiemujun and the other two, gave a word of praise, and then gently stroked the blade of the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword. "Next, I will break the seal on the divine sword. You are ready to die."
