Chapter 12540 Devouring God Technique
Ye Chen stopped speaking, feeling encouraged by the Law of Courage. He was filled with boundless courage and entered the Star Sea Yin Yang Palace, heading straight for the treasure vault.

The treasure vault's gate had been breached by sea monsters, and a pile of corpses lay on the ground. Inside, many monsters were devouring the treasured medicinal herbs, elixirs, and precious items.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen felt a pang of heartache at the thought of such a waste.

Given his injuries, it was not advisable for him to engage in conflict with the demonic beasts.

Fortunately, he also had the help of the Netherworld Ancestor.

Ancestor Youtian used a Nightfall spell, and instantly, an eternal night descended, plunging the treasure vault into darkness.

Numerous monsters roared warily in the darkness, then tore at each other and killed one another.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Ye Chen swept all the rare and precious materials in the treasure vault and then quietly left.

The treasures of the Star Sea Yin Yang Palace are truly abundant. Even though some of them have been ruined by demonic beasts, what remains is still incredibly rich, comparable to the treasures of the Mad King in the past.

Ye Chen had made a fortune, thinking to himself, "If Xi Yue were here, she would definitely be very happy."

The treasure was piled up in the Reincarnation Graveyard. Haotian Lanshen did not hold back. He first devoured a large amount of medicinal herbs, then sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing and heal his injuries. At the same time, he said to Ye Chen, "Go to the Heavenly Chess Game. We need to be quick, otherwise if the enemy finds this place, we will both die."

"Yes!" Ye Chen dared not delay, and followed Haotian Lanshen's instructions to come to the back of the Star Sea Yin Yang Palace. There was an underwater mountain range there, and at the entrance of the mountain range, there was a chessboard with nineteen lines in the middle.

Within the chessboard lies a profound starry sky, where the sun, moon, and stars are slowly rotating, making the surface of the chessboard appear incredibly magnificent and spectacular.

A monstrous sea monster was lurking near the chessboard, and a bizarre scene unfolded: as soon as they got close to the chessboard, they were immediately sucked in.

The chessboard resembled a black hole, capable of swallowing everything; it looked terrifying.

"Go in."

Haotianlan Shinto.

Ye Chen's eyes widened. "Is this the Heavenly Chess Game? This chessboard looks a bit strange. It actually seals a piece of the starry sky."

Haotian Lan said, "It's not just a single starry sky, but countless billions of pieces, almost an infinite multiverse, all condensed within this chessboard. The sun, moon, and stars are the chess pieces."

"If we go inside and hide, it will be like entering an infinite and diverse starry sky, and we will no longer be afraid of being hunted down by the enemy."

Ye Chen swallowed hard, feeling a strange chill run down his spine, and asked, "Then, how do we get out?"

His intuition told him that if he entered this chessboard, he would be trapped inside forever and never be able to get out.

"I don't know either, but you have hope, you can have a miracle."

"With hope and miracles, we will eventually get out."

Haotian Lanshen shook his head. He didn't know how to get out either, but he trusted Ye Chen.

With hope and miracles, we can surely escape despair and break free.

"No, isn't this a bit unreliable?"

Ye Chen looked at Haotian Lanshen and expressed his doubt.

Where can hope and miracles work all the time?
Haotian Lan said, "Don't panic, summon your courage."

"The Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword is in your hands. If all else fails, we can break through with our swords. What space-time barrier could possibly withstand the sharpness of such a divine sword?"

Ye Chen thought so too. He still had the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword as a trump card, so he didn't need to worry too much about being trapped.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Dao Asking Sect and the Dao Slaughtering Sect were almost here. Ye Chen even caught a glimpse of the essence of the Li Fire, which was falling down the seawater like a shooting star.

It was precisely because of Xiao He!
Ye Chen didn't dare to be negligent at that moment. He immediately strode to the chessboard, and before he could make a move, the endless starry sky on the chessboard, like a black hole, sucked him in.

Just as Ye Chen was being sucked in, Xiao Hegu arrived at the scene with several disciples.

They happened to see Ye Chen being sucked into the chessboard.

"what!"

Upon seeing Ye Chen being sucked into the chessboard, Xiao He let out a cry of surprise.

The disciple standing nearby also paled.

Someone said, "Elder Xiao, what should we do? The Lord of Reincarnation has been sucked into the Heavenly Chess Game!"

Someone else said, "This chess game is a game between the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss! The chessboard is made of the endless starry sky. If a person falls in, unless they can solve the game, there is absolutely no way they can get out!"

"Ah, if the Lord of Reincarnation is swallowed up by the chessboard, won't he die inside?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hegu's expression darkened, and he immediately felt extremely troubled.

This Heavenly Chess Game is incredibly profound and mysterious. It was left behind by the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss, and ordinary people could never solve it; entering it meant certain death.

If Ye Chen were to die inside, it would be a terrible waste, and many divine powers would be lost.

Trying to salvage the lost divine authority within the Heavenly Chess Game will be an incredibly difficult task.

"Quickly summon the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor!"

Xiao He was at a loss and could only ask his senior brother to step in.

The name "Tianwen" in the title of the Patriarch of Tianwen also implies the game of questioning the heavens.

The Way of Heaven is vast and boundless, the Great Way is limitless and infinite. I ask the heavens, where does it end, where is the final destination?
At this moment, Ye Chen had already entered the Heavenly Chess Game.

As soon as he entered, he was momentarily disoriented, thinking he had returned to the vast world beyond the stars.

The world inside the Heavenly Chess Game is a series of layers of cosmic stars stacked together, and the number of layers is simply uncountable.

Even with Ye Chen's divine sense, he couldn't see clearly how many layers of the universe and starry sky this world had. Countless diverse worlds were piled up together, and endless suns, moons, and stars formed this game of chess.

"Alright, we're safe here for now."

Haotian Lan said, "You should heal your injuries first."

He could sense that Xiao He was outside, but he remained completely calm.

Because the world inside the Heavenly Chess Game is simply too vast, an infinitely diverse universe and starry sky, basically one can enter but not leave, the world is just too big.

Let alone Xiao He, even the Heavenly Question Ancestor wouldn't have the courage to barge in.

Looking at the vast starry sky, Ye Chen felt a strange and immense emptiness in his heart. He composed himself, sat cross-legged in the starry sky, took some pills he had just collected, and then silently healed his injuries.

He did not expand the realm of time because it was unnecessary.

He is currently safe and there is no need to worry about being disturbed by outsiders.

Moreover, time is relative.

Even if he only glances at you for a thousand years, I have truly lived for ten thousand years, and there is no room for opportunism.

There is a potential nemesis within him that will erupt in a month at most. Accelerating the process will only hasten his death.

"You shouldn't have used that sword."

Haotianlan Shinto.

He also clearly saw that Ye Chen had a time bomb buried inside him, which was the backlash from using the Sword of Doom. It was supposed to explode long ago, but Ye Chen used the laws of time to delay it until a month later.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Ye Chen said.

Yu Shen is too strong. Without unleashing his ultimate sword technique, there's no way to defeat him.

"There is a way, but you are too reckless and your concern makes you confused."

Haotian Lanshen's words were like knives.

Ye Chen fell silent. Indeed, he had been concerned about Xi Yue at the time, and in order to protect her, he had gone to extreme lengths to protect her.

Even though he has advanced to the fifth level of the Abyss Realm, the cost of using the Sword of the End is still enormous, even greater than before!

However, the Sword of the End is indeed powerful; even a powerhouse of Yu Shen's caliber couldn't withstand it.

This is also how Ye Chen, who wields the Divine Path of Time, forcibly pulled himself and the God of Space together by utilizing the special law of the unity of time and space; otherwise, he would not have been able to harm the God of Space.

If he were fighting against powerful figures like Emperor Jinyu or Ancestor Tianwen, the Sword of the End might not be effective, because they would dodge, and he wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

It was pure luck that I was able to defeat Yu Shen.

But now, Ye Chen has to pay the price; this seed of doom is not easy to resolve.

……

Two days later, Ye Chen's ordinary injuries had healed, but the seed of ultimate calamity showed no signs of being averted.

Whether he used the Abundance Secret Method or the Sun Corona Dzi Bead, it was difficult to achieve any effect.

Fu Jin and Chen Xi had already come out and were sitting next to Ye Chen, keeping him company and wanting to bring him hope and miracles.

But with hope waning and miracles failing to materialize, the final darkness is still too terrifying.

Ye Chen took out the Star Sea Fate Compass and deduced his own destiny trajectory. No matter how he deduced it these past two days, the key to breaking the deadlock actually came true for Ancestor Tianwen.

"Grandmaster Tianwen... Is it only Grandmaster Tianwen who can avert the final calamity in my life?"

Ye Chen muttered to himself, glancing at the starry sky above. Within the chessboard, isolated by the infinite multiverse, he could no longer sense the presence of the outside world.

His presence is also undetectable to outsiders.

But he knew very well that if he went out, he would surely die.

Even if Ancestor Tianwen doesn't kill him, the Ludao Sect won't let him go.

However, his astrological chart shows that his future fate is closely related to the Heavenly Question Ancestor. To break the deadlock, he must first start with the Heavenly Question Ancestor.

"First, cast this astrolabe into a pillar to support your body."

Haotian Lanshen emerged from the Reincarnation Graveyard, his soul floating beside Ye Chen, and spoke.

Seeing that his right arm had regained its firm and solidified flesh and blood, Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise, "Senior, your arm has recovered."

Haotian Lan Shen hummed in agreement and said, "Xiao Wu has helped me a lot these past two days."

Ye Chen was taken aback and looked at the Reincarnation Graveyard, only to find that the once burly and majestic Jun Tianwu was now just skin and bones, completely incapacitated.

Upon hearing Haotian Lanshen's words, Juntian Wu said with immense honor, "I would die without regret if I could help my elder brother!"

It turns out that in the past two days, Jun Tianwu had consumed his own flesh and blood energy to restore Haotian Lanshen's arm.

Previously, Jun Tianwu recovered his entire physical body under the illumination of the Corona Heavenly Pearl, but Haotian Lanshen's physical body was not so easily recovered. To date, he has only recovered one arm.

Haotian Lanshen looked at Ye Chen and said, "My body can be described as the body of a pillar god, and it is extremely difficult to recover it."

"I have already awakened, but I have been hiding because my physical body has not yet recovered."

"With only a wisp of remnant soul, many martial arts techniques cannot be used, and the remnant soul form is also very dangerous when facing some powerful enemies."

“You previously used the Sun Corona Dzi Bead to illuminate the Reincarnation Graveyard, barely restoring one of my hands, but that was already the limit.”

"It's truly difficult to restore my pillar god body!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen suddenly understood.

It turns out that Haotian Lanshen had been hiding because his physical body had not yet recovered and he had some concerns.

"Senior, you are so powerful even with only one hand. If your physical body were to fully recover, who in the starry sky would be your match?"

When Haotian Lanshen fought against the members of the Ludao Sect, even though he only had one hand, he still dominated the entire scene and forced Tiemujun to self-destruct.

If he had his physical body at its peak, he would be incredibly powerful.

Haotian Lanshen smiled slightly and said, "You are too presumptuous. There are too many powerful beings. The Primordial Beginning and the Abyss that you know are tens of millions of times more powerful than me. And the Yin and Yang of the End of Heaven are even more unbelievably magnificent and vast."

“I once had the desire to defy the heavens and slay the gods, and even wanted to destroy the primordial chaos and the abyss to establish a new cycle of reincarnation.”

“My wish angered the two supreme beings, so they sent down divine punishment to destroy me.”

"Back then, the main reason for the conflict between the Four Heavenly Gates and the Nine Heavens Clan was that I was punished by the Heavenly Tribulation, and my physical body was scorched and burned to ashes. Otherwise, we might not have lost that war."

Jun Tianwu said, "Yes, yes, with Brother Haotian here, how could we possibly lose?"

He clearly held Haotian Lanshen in high esteem and reverence.

Indeed, people always admire the strong.

Haotian Lanshen is the embodiment of the Heavenly Ancestor's courage, inheriting the Heavenly Ancestor's strongest fighting spirit and will, and fighting tirelessly himself.

He is somewhat similar to the Black Queen Mother; both started from humble beginnings and were not particularly strong when they were first born, but later rose to power against all odds step by step.

But unlike the Black Queen Mother, who is blessed by the Abyss and is considered a daughter of the Abyss.

But Haotian Lanshen only has himself, and even Taichu and Shenyuan want to kill him.

He relied on his courage to fight against demons and monsters, and then used the cycle of reincarnation to devour them, transforming their blood essence into his own nourishment, thus rapidly breaking through and leveling up.

The hardships and dangers of this process are beyond what outsiders can understand.

Looking at Haotian Lanshen, Ye Chen could see the trajectory of his past battles, a truly passionate and magnificent chapter.

Haotian Lanshen waved his hand, not dwelling on past glories, and said to Ye Chen:
“I will protect you. You will forge the star chart into a celestial pillar and see if it can avert the seeds of the end times.”

Ye Chen hummed in agreement and then, without further ado, sat cross-legged. He first refined the star chart and then attempted to forge this Star Sea Fate Orbit Chart into a Heavenly Pillar.

As long as no one disturbs you, it's not too difficult, because the Dao is interconnected, the Great Daos share the same origin, and all things in the heavens and the earth evolved from the Dao of Yin and Yang.

By grasping the most fundamental principles of Tao, one can transform objects into various different forms.

However, the Star Sea Fate Orbit Disc, unlike the Starry Sky Dao Book and the Heavenly Emperor Dragon Body, is not Ye Chen's natal item, so the transformation is not as quick.

It took Ye Chen a full seven days to complete the transformation.

The image of the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation Kingdom appeared behind Ye Chen, with three celestial pillars supporting the empire.

In addition to the original Starry Sky Pillar and Coiled Dragon Pillar, there is now a Destiny Pillar.

The Heavenly Pillar was forged from the transformation of the Starry Sea Destiny Orbit Disc!
The entire pillar of destiny exudes a mysterious and ethereal light, shrouded in mystery and encompassing all things.

The transformation from the Star Sea Fate Orbit Disc to the Fate Pillar resulted in some loss of primordial Dao Qi, but it was not a major problem. The Fate Pillar still retained the core function of the Star Sea Fate Orbit Disc, which was to deduce fate and even change fate!
"Goddess of Beauty, Yun Li, I will ensure that your destinies remain stable and do not collapse."

Ye Chen thought to himself that he was still thinking about the Goddess of Beauty and Su Yunli. Now that he was in charge of the Pillar of Destiny, he could further ensure that their destinies would not collapse and perish.

However, with the protection of the celestial maiden's enlightened path, he doesn't really need to worry too much. What's truly deadly now is his ultimate calamity!

The pillar of destiny supports Ye Chen's spleen.

The spleen is an organ that produces, stores, and filters blood.

With his spleen supported, Ye Chen instantly felt his blood and qi flow much more smoothly, and his breathing became easier. Even when he fought, he would no longer trigger the seed of the end of the world.

Ye Chen's cultivation also broke through smoothly, advancing to the initial stage of the sixth level of the Abyss Realm.

This breakthrough in cultivation was due to two factors: firstly, the nourishment of spiritual energy from the Pillar of Destiny, and secondly, the feedback of spiritual energy from the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Dao itself.

The most magnificent and dazzling sight in Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Reincarnation Kingdom is the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Path Disc hanging in the sky.

This Yin-Yang disc contains vast and boundless Yin-Yang spiritual energy. With the addition of a celestial pillar for support, Ye Chen further absorbed the Yin-Yang spiritual energy, and his cultivation breakthrough was extremely rapid.

At this point, if Ye Chen wanted to break through his cultivation level, he no longer needed to rely on external things. He didn't need to seek the Dao from heaven and earth; he only needed to explore his own potential.

However, the seed of his ultimate calamity remains unresolved and is still accumulating in the future. It will explode in just over half a month!

"Is this seed of doom so stubborn?"

Upon seeing this, Haotian Lanshen frowned deeply.

Ye Chen forged a new Heavenly Pillar and broke through his cultivation level, but the seed of the final calamity was not resolved, so it was all an illusion.

When Chenxi and Fujin saw this, they didn't know what to do. Now, facing the final calamity, their hopes and miracles were unlikely to work.

The power of the end times is truly terrifying.

"Well, I'll teach you a method; see if it can alleviate the trouble."

Haotian Lanshen pondered for a moment, then produced a jade slip and passed it to Ye Chen.

He didn't expect to completely eliminate the scourge of the end times; he only wanted to temporarily alleviate it and prolong the time before it erupted.

"This is……"

Ye Chen took the jade slip and scanned it with his divine sense. He immediately sensed a powerful and terrifying aura of devouring.
