Chapter 12539 The Heavenly Chess Game

Chapter 12539 The Heavenly Chess Game
The Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword has three seals. Once one of them is broken, the sword's sharpness will greatly increase. At that time, Haotian Lan Shen is confident that he can kill everyone on the field.

Upon seeing this, Tie Mujun and the others turned ashen-faced, and many were even stunned into silence, losing all will to fight.

This was because Haotian Lanshen's Dao heart was too strong. His fearless courage and invincible aura suppressed the entire scene, making the disciples with slightly weaker cultivation not even dare to have the thought of resisting.

When Ancestor Tingyou saw that even the curse of the earth veins couldn't do anything to Haotian Lanshen, he was also shocked. He never expected Haotian Lanshen to be so fierce.

Haotian Lanshen made a hand seal, intending to break the seal on the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword.

Seeing this, a resolute glint flashed in Tiemujun's eyes, and he shouted, "Old man, stop!"

He suddenly produced a mirror, in which the light of dawn and dusk flickered, mingling and shifting, the light chaotic and ever-changing.

Hao Tianlan's divine soul swayed for a moment, feeling dizzy and as if time itself had reversed.

"Dawn and Dusk Mirror!"

Ye Chen immediately recognized the mirror upon seeing it: it was the Mirror of Dawn and Dusk, a magical artifact of the God of the Universe!

The God of the Universe possesses many magical treasures, such as the Mirror of Dawn and Dusk, the Shuttle of the Sun and Moon, and the Hourglass of Star Shift, all of which contain the secrets of time's changes.

When the Lu Dao Sect saved the God of the Universe, they took away all of the God of the Universe's magical treasures. In the end, Ye Chen only inherited the pure divine power of time, without any other attached treasures.

The treasures of the God of the Universe are all in the hands of the Slaughtering Dao Sect. What Iron Tomb Lord is offering up now is clearly the secret treasure of the Time God Path.

When the Mirror of Dawn and Dusk appeared, dawn and dusk were reversed, and time was disordered. Haotian Lanshen was also affected and fell into a daze for a moment.

Having no physical body is ultimately a huge disadvantage for him, as he is unable to withstand the impact of strange and unusual supernatural powers and laws.

The laws of time contained within the Mirror of Dawn and Dusk cannot be easily severed by swords.

Haotian Lanshen took a deep breath to calm his mind, and was about to draw his sword, but Tiemujun had already rushed up.

"You old bastard, I'll take you down with me!"

Iron Tomb Lord gritted his teeth, his spiritual energy surged, his body swelled up, and he charged fiercely in front of Haotian Lanshen. Then, with a "bang," he actually self-destructed!

He was one of the true disciples of Ancestor Tingyou, and his cultivation was extraordinary. This self-destruction had a powerful explosive force that could be described as earth-shattering. A mushroom cloud of explosion rose with a rumble, shattering the night sky. Many stars hanging in the sky fell down, turning into a meteor shower, which crashed into the sea, stirring up a massive tsunami.

Haotian Lanshen and Ye Chen were hit head-on by the explosion. Ye Chen hurriedly activated the Eternal Wall to protect himself, but Tie Mujun's self-destruction was too fierce. He was still greatly impacted, his internal organs trembled, he groaned, and blood gushed from the corner of his mouth. Even the final calamity seed in his body was stimulated and churned.

This explosion was not only Iron Tomb Lord's self-destruction, but also the explosion of a powerful force of earth veins.

Haotian Lanshen had no physical body, and the impact of the explosion caused his soul and body to shake violently, turning his face pale.

Before his self-destruction, Tie Mujun deliberately used the Mirror of Dawn and Dusk to distort time, catching Haotian Lanshen off guard. Even for him, being hit by the explosive force would be fatal.

"Senior Brother Iron Tomb!"

Zhu Xingjun and Qi Tianjun were utterly horrified when they saw Tie Mujun self-destruct, and all the disciples of the Lu Dao Sect were also shaken.

"The Iron Tomb!"

The voice of Ancestor Tingyou was also filled with a mournful tone. He only had four true disciples.

Previously, at the Heavenly Punishment Dust Peak, his disciple Yunzhou Jun had already died at Ye Chen's hands, and now another disciple, Tiemu Jun, had also been annihilated on the spot. His heart was bleeding.

"Good, good, good, they actually have the courage to self-destruct!"

Haotian Lanshen's gaze was sharp. Although his soul was injured by the explosion, the flesh and blood of one of his hands were still intact.

He can still fight!
A misty aura surged from his body, and he was ready to go on a killing spree at all costs, but at that moment, two streaks of light shot in from outside the island.

It was an old man with red hair and a young man in white.

The red-haired old man stood respectfully beside the white-robed youth.

The young man in white had empty hands, yet possessed an elegant demeanor. His eyes seemed to contain a condensed universe, shimmering with endless, profound starlight. His face remained calm and composed, showing no emotion even upon witnessing the dramatic changes on the island.

"Haotian Lanshen, the former ruler of the Nine Heavens Clan?"

"As expected, it is indeed extraordinary. Even with only one hand left, it is still so fierce."

The white-robed youth nodded repeatedly upon seeing Haotian Lanshen, his eyes filled with admiration.

Before Haotian Lanshen could speak, a surprised exclamation came from the depths of the island:

"Old Taoist Tianwen, it's you!"

"How did you come?"

The white-robed youth said, "A great upheaval has occurred in the Yin-Yang Star Sea, which even Elder Xiao cannot resolve. Only I can personally descend here."

The red-haired old man standing to the side bowed and said, "I am ashamed."

Ye Chen was quite surprised to see this.

The red-haired old man was none other than Xiao He, the vice sect leader of the Dao Seeking Sect, whom he had met before.

Previously, Xiao He had fought a fierce battle with the Coral Sea Nightmare Beast and then besieged Ye Chen. If it weren't for the help of the God of the Universe, it would have been extremely difficult for Ye Chen to escape.

In his memory, Xiao Hegu, who was in charge of the Li character technique, was an incredibly powerful figure. But now, in front of that white-robed youth, Xiao Hegu looked extremely humble.

Who is this young man in white?
Ye Chen's heart pounded as he instantly saw the secret: the white-robed youth was none other than the sect leader of the Dao Asking Sect, the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor!

Unlike the weathered and gaunt Ancestor Tingyou, Ancestor Tianwen appeared gentle and refined, resembling a young man in white robes. He was handsome and composed, with a calm and collected demeanor, as if he had seen through the vicissitudes of the world and understood all the causes and effects, presenting an incomparably transcendent attitude.

"go!"

When Haotian Lanshen saw that Tianwen Ancestor and Xiao He had arrived, his expression changed. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately pulled Ye Chen away.

He is the embodiment of courage, but that doesn't mean he's a brute.

If it were only the forces of the Lu Dao Sect, he would choose to fight to the bitter end.

But since both Tianwen Patriarch and Xiao He have arrived, continuing the fight would be pure suicide.

Even in his prime, he would have been wary of the current situation, let alone now that he is just a wisp of a soul.

Seeing that Haotian Lanshen was about to leave, the disciples of Ludao Sect hurriedly tried to stop him, but were forced back by Haotian Lanshen's sword.

"Great Storm God, Lord of Reincarnation, stay and have a chat."

"You've seized the Star Sea Destiny Disk, you can't just leave like this."

"Earth-born stars, imprisoned!"

Ancestor Tianwen spoke softly, then suddenly made a hand seal. Suddenly, rocks appeared out of thin air in the void around Haotian Lanshen. The rocks crackled and creaked as they closed in, trying to imprison him and Ye Chen.

"The divine power of Immortal Mirror Flow!"

Upon seeing it, Ye Chen immediately recognized that the "Earth Generates Heavenly Stars" technique of the Heavenly Question Ancestor was actually the divine power of the Mirror Flow Immortal Venerable, a Daoist technique based on the laws of the earth.

"break!"

Despite the danger, Haotian Lanshen remained calm and reacted swiftly. Grasping the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, he cleaved through the surrounding rocks with a single horizontal slash, carrying Ye Chen as they escaped the island. Then, a surge of dark light enveloped the two of them, and they disappeared into the sea.

"What a sharp sword!"

Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Question Ancestor's gaze immediately sharpened.

Haotian Lanshen was in the form of a remnant soul, and had just been impacted by Tiemujun's self-destruction. He no longer had enough power to resist his sealing.

However, with the sharpness of the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword, Haotian Lan Shen managed to carve out a path to survival.

"Damn it, they got away!"

Hearing the venomous voice of Master You, it became clear that his two disciples, Yunzhou Jun and Tiemu Jun, had both died because of Ye Chen. Now that Ye Chen had escaped, it would be difficult for him to take revenge.

The Yin-Yang Star Sea was shrouded in darkness, and Ye Chen had also used a special dark stealth technique, so even he could no longer detect Ye Chen's whereabouts.

"Don't panic, listen to You, they can't escape."

The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic, and then uttered a chant:
"Yin Yang Divine Sword, descend!"

There stood a colossal, towering divine sword, swirling with Yin-Yang Dao energy, its entire body radiating brilliant sword light. It had traversed time and space, crossing the sea of ​​stars, and was none other than the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect's sect-protecting divine sword!
Ancestor Tianwen clenched his sword incantation, and the Yin-Yang Divine Sword floated in the very center of the Yin-Yang Star Sea. The enormous divine sword surged with chaotic energy, releasing millions of sword lights.

The sword light, almost tangible, scattered in all directions with a whooshing sound, then landed at the edges of the Yin-Yang Star Sea, effectively sealing off the entire ocean.

Millions of swords blocked the ocean, with the Yin-Yang Divine Sword at the center of the sea and sky as the core. The scene was spectacular, tearing apart the darkness and revealing the brilliance of daylight.

The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor used the Law of Cause and Effect again, striking the Yin-Yang Divine Sword in the center of the Heavenly Sea, and calmly said:

"I have sealed off the Yin-Yang Star Sea; they can't escape now."

"Furthermore, I have also laid down the law of cause and effect. As soon as the Lord of Reincarnation and the Great Storm God show their faces, they will be immediately killed by the Yin-Yang Divine Sword!"

The disciples of the Luodao Sect present were all astonished and bewildered by the grand gesture of their ancestor, Tianwen.

Xiao He said, "Senior brother, your abilities are truly remarkable! I admire you!"

Master You chuckled and said, "Tianwen, you've set up an array using the Yin-Yang Divine Sword. Such a grand undertaking must have consumed a lot of spiritual energy, right?"

"You can only last a few days at most, while the Lord of Reincarnation wields the Great Dao of Time. What difficulty would it be for him to wear you down for a few days?"

The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor calmly said, "I will find him."

As he spoke, he sent out a signal talisman to summon the disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect to assist him, and then turned to Xiao He and said, "Junior brother, I'll trouble you to lead men to hunt down the Lord of Reincarnation."

Xiao He replied, "Yes!"

Ye Chen took the Star Sea Fate Compass, and for that alone, the Dao Seeking Sect could not let it go.

That's one of the Ten Great Dao Artifacts! There are only ten Dao Artifacts in the entire Yin Yang Heavenly Continent, so its value is incredibly precious.

Immediately, Xiao He led the disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect who had rushed from all directions to go out and hunt down Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's aura is very special. He possesses many divine powers, and as long as even a little bit of divine spiritual energy is leaked out, Xiao He can immediately lock onto the secrets of heaven.

"Qitian, Zhuxing, you two go and help too."

Master Tingyou felt that the matter was of great importance, and immediately gave the order.

"Yes!"

Qitianjun and Zhuxingjun then led the disciples of Ludao Sect to go out and hunt down Ye Chen.

For two groups to join forces is an extremely rare occurrence.

Master Tianwen smiled slightly and said, "Tingyou, I never thought we would have a time to cooperate."

Master You snorted but did not reply.

……

At this moment, Ye Chen, together with Haotian Lanshen, had already disappeared into the sea.

Haotian Lanshen was injured, so he returned the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword to Ye Chen and then went back to the Samsara Graveyard.

Ye Chen was also injured and wanted to find a place to activate his time domain and seek enough time to heal.

He doesn't need to seek the Dao from heaven and earth to heal his injuries; he only needs to tap into his own spiritual energy to recover.

Therefore, even if he is isolated from the outside world after opening the time domain, it will not affect him.

"Both the Dao Seeking Sect and the Dao Slaughtering Sect are hunting me down. Once exposed, I fear I will die without a burial place."

Ye Chen's expression darkened, and he abandoned the idea of ​​activating the Time Domain.

The powerful figures from the Dao Asking Sect and the Dao Slaughtering Sect are hunting him down. Once he releases his divine authority aura, he will likely be exposed instantly.

"Heavenly Ancestor, what should we do?"

Ye Chen communicated with the Reincarnation Graveyard and asked Haotian Lanshen.

Haotian Lanshen said, "You can call me Great Lanshen, or you can call me Senior, but you cannot call me Heavenly Ancestor."

"Although I am the second incarnation of the Heavenly Ancestor, I have no connection with him anymore. I have my own path."

Ye Chen solemnly replied, "Yes, Senior!"

Haotian Lan Shen grunted in response. Seeing the Coral Sea Nightmare Beast being suppressed in the Reincarnation Graveyard, he didn't hold back. He grabbed the Coral Sea Nightmare Beast from a distance and devoured it.

Although the sea beast self-destructed its demon core and lost its spiritual energy, there was still a lot of spiritual essence remaining in its flesh and blood, which could heal Haotian Lanshen.

Moreover, through his intuition as a powerful being, Haotian Lanshen also sensed that the Coral Sea Nightmare Beast seemed to be the key to breaking the deadlock.

After devouring the Coral Sea Nightmare Beast, he also inherited some of its memories. After chewing it slightly, he said to Ye Chen, "Let's go to the Star Sea Yin Yang Palace and hide in the Asking Heaven Chess Game."

Ye Chen said, "The Yin-Yang Palace of the Star Sea, the Chess Game of Asking Heaven?"

Haotian Lan said, "Yes, both the Dao Seeking Sect and the Dao Slaughtering Sect are hunting you down. Now we can only proceed cautiously. It's a pity I only have one hand and cannot fight my way out."

"Let's go hide at the Wentian Chess Game first, and then we'll figure out a way to break through the encirclement once our injuries have healed."

His tone was calm and composed, showing both courage and wisdom, but not recklessness.

If we were to charge out now, it would be tantamount to suicide.

Only by temporarily avoiding direct confrontation can one have a glimmer of hope.

"Aren't the people in the Star Sea Yin Yang Palace also from the Yin Yang Divine Path Sect?"

Ye Chen had some doubts. The Star Sea Yin Yang Palace was a branch of the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect. If he went there, wouldn't he be throwing his life away?

"Go ahead and go. There's a chessboard there called the 'Quest for Heaven' Chess Game. The chessboard is almost infinite in space and time. If we hide inside, we won't be discovered for a while."

Haotianlan Shinto.

He had already obtained some useful information from the Coral Sea Nightmare Beast's memories.

"it is good."

Without further ado, Ye Chen followed Haotian Lanshen's instructions and headed to the Yin-Yang Palace in the Star Sea.

"I wonder how Xiyue and Qingxue are doing?"

As he walked on, he thought of Xiyue and Feng Qingxue, and his heart was touched, but he shook his head.

Now is not the time to worry about my wife and daughters; I need to figure out how to survive first.

Ye Chen was also injured by the blast from Iron Tomb Lord's self-destruction, but fortunately it wasn't too serious, and he was still able to move around.

Soon, Ye Chen arrived at the Star Sea Yin Yang Palace. He saw that the pearl palaces and crystal towers had all collapsed. There were many corpses of people and sea monsters on the ground. From the depths of the palace, the roars of sea monsters and the screams of the living could still be heard from time to time.

"After the death of the palace master, the guardian spirit beast of this Star Sea Yin Yang Palace has rebelled and suffered a large number of sea monsters. It is on the verge of destruction and no one will care about us."

"Go to their treasure trove first, loot all the rare and precious materials, and then go to ask about the Heavenly Chess Game."

Haotianlan Shinto.

Even when he was on the verge of fleeing for his life, he was still thinking about plundering other people's treasures.

"Uh..." Ye Chen said, "Isn't that a bit too risky?"

He looked up and saw many figures on the sea. Disciples of the Lu Dao Sect and the Wen Dao Sect were searching for him. It probably wouldn't be long before they found him here.

It was absolutely impossible for him to escape.

The divine sword of the Yin-Yang Divine Path Sect is already suspended in the center of the sky and sea, and even the law of cause and effect is swirling around it. As soon as Ye Chen makes his appearance, the divine sword will immediately kill him.

Furthermore, the entire Yin-Yang Star Sea was sealed off by millions of sword energies, leaving no escape route.

Even Haotian Lanshen was somewhat helpless in this situation and could only take things one step at a time.

But he's too daring; he actually thought about plundering the treasure, which is far too risky.

"Summon your courage, don't hold back."

"You dared to take even the Heavenly Ancestor's woman, what's a little treasure to you?"

Haotianlan Shinto.

Upon hearing his words, Ye Chen felt a pang of embarrassment and said, "No..."

He wanted to explain that his marriage to Feng Qingxue was not their original wish.

"Stop hesitating, let's go!"

Haotian Lanshen didn't want to listen to nonsense and urged Ye Chen to take action.
