Chapter 12547 I'll Protect You
Chapter 12547 I'll Protect You
Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine. It seemed he had arrived too late. A month had passed, and Xi Yue's inheritance of the spatial divine authority was irreversible.
If he forcibly terminates it, it will cause Xiyue to suffer a severe backlash.
"Father, I'm alright."
Xi Yue looked at Ye Chen and spoke softly, her voice weak but firm, showing that she still had a clear mind.
Ye Chen's face twitched as he suppressed his anger and said to Ni Changjun, "She's still so young, how could you give her the power of space?"
"Won't Yu Shen resist? If she's possessed, I won't let you off!"
When Ni Changjun saw Feng Qingxue behind Ye Chen, Feng Qingxue had a gentle expression. She could sense the intimacy between the two, so she smiled slightly and said:
"Don't worry, Lord of Reincarnation, Xi Yue is in very good health and won't be easily possessed."
"Furthermore, you should be aware of the threat posed by Lord Li Ye."
"If Gui Dao Ji and I don't find a way to protect ourselves, then we will both be suppressed by Li Ye Jun."
Feng Qingxue said, "Call me the Goddess of Love, or Feng Qingxue."
Ni Changjun was taken aback, then chuckled, her gaze sweeping over Feng Qingxue and Ye Chen, and said, "Looks like you two have made up. I knew it, there's no such thing as a grudge that lasts overnight between husband and wife."
Feng Qingxue blushed and remained silent.
Upon seeing this, Xi Yue was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Father, Mother, you've made up? That's wonderful, wonderful!"
She looked at Ye Chen and said, "Father, don't worry. That Yu Shen wanted to possess me, but when I think of you, I feel an infinite power, and no one can hurt me."
Ni Changjun laughed and said, "Lord of Reincarnation, look, you have become the beacon of Xiyue. Even the God of the Universe cannot shake her Dao heart."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen felt a sense of relief and said, "Xi Yue, listen to me. After you inherit the divine authority of space, you must not use your divine power lightly, otherwise the Heaven-Burning Tribulation will burn you to death!"
As long as divine power is not used, the Great Calamity of Burning Heaven will not easily erupt.
Xi Yue said, "Father, I know."
"The inheritance of divine authority in this space was a bit painful at first. I felt like my hands and feet had been cut off, but after getting used to it, it didn't feel like much."
"I'm in great health, I'm a big rhinoceros!"
She smiled brightly as she spoke. She had already fused with a Xuanjia Rhinoceros Ancient Beast, and her body and flesh were strong enough to withstand the pressure of divine authority bestowed upon her.
At this moment, the surrounding spatial storm gradually subsided.
"It should be almost done."
Ni Changjun's eyes lit up. Judging from the situation, the ceremony for the succession of the divine power of space was about to end, and Xi Yue would inherit the authority of the God of Space and become the new God of Space.
The limbs that had been separated from Xiyue were reassembled into her body, restoring her to her original state.
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Previously, the goddess said she had a nightmare in which Xiyue's hands and feet were cut off. Now it seems that the dream has come true, but the situation is not serious. In fact, it is an anomaly caused by Xiyue inheriting the divine power of space and the spatial disorder.
As the succession of divine authority was nearing its end, Xiyue's body had fully recovered.
"Xiyue, how are you feeling?"
Ye Chen looked up at Xi Yue and asked.
Xi Yue checked her body and gently moved her arm. The iron chain binding her arm snapped instantly.
She exclaimed joyfully, "Father, I feel like I have inexhaustible strength in my body!"
Ye Chen said, "You must not use this power, otherwise the Heaven-Burning Calamity will strike and your body will not be able to withstand it."
Xi Yue's expression also turned serious, and she said, "Yes, Father! I will be careful!"
She had also heard of the terror of the Heavenly Calamity, and now that she had inherited the divine power of space, she naturally had to use it with caution.
Ye Chen nodded, about to say something more, when he suddenly saw the spatial storm that had just subsided suddenly surge up again, and the storm was even more violent than before, rumbling and filling the sky and earth.
Upon seeing this scene, Ye Chen, Feng Qingxue, and Ni Changjun all changed their expressions and looked up at the sky.
They clearly sensed a powerful will from the outside world eroding the Shiqiu Ruins and triggering a storm.
It's not because of Xiyue, it's because of the powerful figures outside!
"Lord of Samsara."
A deep voice came from the outside world, and a trace of blood energy silently seeped into the Time Ruins space.
"Is it you inside, Lord of Reincarnation?"
It was the voice of the Blood Phoenix Emperor!
Upon hearing the Blood Phoenix Emperor's voice, Ye Chen's expression immediately changed.
Previously, Lord Li Ye had instructed the Lord of the Asura Prison to summon the Blood Phoenix Emperor. Now it seems that the Blood Phoenix Emperor has already descended and is even approaching the Time Ruins!
However, the Blood Phoenix Emperor did not directly enter the Time Ruins. He was clearly wary and apprehensive, unwilling to venture into an unfamiliar little world.
"It seems you're not the only one. Who else is there?"
"Your wife, your daughter?"
The voice of the Blood Phoenix Emperor still echoed. His powerful will stirred up a storm in the Time Ruins. The seepage of blood energy also brought enormous pressure, making it hard for people to breathe.
The Blood Phoenix Emperor could not fully see the situation inside the Time Ruins, but he did see some of the cause and effect.
"Come out, we can talk."
The Blood Phoenix Emperor's voice softened as he withdrew his will, and all the blood energy that had seeped in also contracted back.
Looking at the sky, Ni Changjun's expression was extremely solemn. She said, "Who is this? Such a powerful aura, seemingly even stronger than Li Yejun!"
In her eyes, Li Yejun was already an incredibly powerful being, but she never expected that there would be someone even more powerful than him.
"Primordial God, Blood Phoenix Emperor."
Ye Chen said in a deep voice.
"is it him?"
Ni Changjun's body trembled, and she looked at Ye Chen, saying, "Speaking of which, Lord of Reincarnation, just how many people have you offended?"
Ye Chen didn't say much, only saying, "You all stay here and don't move around. I'll go out and meet him."
As she was about to leave, Feng Qingxue stepped forward and said softly, "I'll go with you."
Ye Chen said, "No need, you stay and take care of Xi Yue."
Xi Yue called out softly, "Father..."
She had just inherited the divine authority over space and had not yet mastered this power, so she was at a loss for what to do.
"wait me back."
Ye Chen glanced at Xi Yue, told Feng Qingxue and Ni Changjun to stay behind, and flew away alone, carrying the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword.
Returning from the small world of Shiqiu Ruins to the large world of Yin Yang Tianzhou, the friction caused by the difference in time and space made Ye Chen's skin feel as if it had been scraped by a knife, and his breath became momentarily suffocated.
With a deafening boom, a colossal hand suddenly hurtled towards him.
This sneak attack was perfectly timed, coming just when Ye Chen was suffering from spatial friction and his breath was suffocated.
In the blink of an eye, the other party had seized the opportunity, and Ye Chen didn't even have time to react.
With a bang, Ye Chen was sent flying by a palm strike. Although he was protected by the Eternal Wall, the violent and surging palm force still caused his aura to churn, and he let out a muffled groan.
However, Ye Chen was neither injured nor coughed up blood. He twisted his waist in mid-air to dissipate the force and then hovered steadily in the void.
"Thank you, Senior."
Ye Chen communicated with the Reincarnation Graveyard and thanked Haotian Lanshen.
It turned out that in that instant, Haotian Lanshen had already reacted, his soul attaching itself to Ye Chen's body, and taking the blow of that earth-shattering giant palm for Ye Chen.
Most of the force of that palm strike was absorbed by Haotian Lanshen, and Ye Chen did not suffer a significant impact.
Haotian Lanshen's soul trembled for a moment, but he didn't even utter a sound, remaining as steady and unshakable as a towering mountain.
"what?"
"Lord of Reincarnation, you withstood my palm strike and survived without dying or even being injured. It's truly unbelievable."
What other trump cards do you have inside you?
A deep voice reached Ye Chen's ears.
A man with a bare upper body, perfectly sculpted muscles, and an aura of powerful strength was staring at Ye Chen with an incredulous look.
It was none other than the Blood Phoenix Emperor.
It's not a phantom or a clone; it's the Blood Phoenix Emperor himself, one of the Seven Origin Gods, the flesh and blood of the Primordial Beginning!
Although the Blood Phoenix Emperor's power, limited by the rules of heaven and earth, is at most at the peak of the Heavenly Dao Realm, the power behind his sneak attack is the divine power of the Pillar God's flesh and blood. In theory, it would be enough to shatter even a Heavenly Dao Realm expert.
But Ye Chen withstood it without even getting hurt.
"Your Majesty, this kid has many hidden cards up his sleeve!"
"However, he can only withstand one of your blows at most!"
"Strike again and kill him!"
Beside the Blood Phoenix Emperor, an old man was roaring hoarsely.
The old man was withered and emaciated, like a man in his twilight years, and was none other than the Lord of the Asura Prison.
He had been cut off from the timeline by Ye Chen, but now he has actually gotten back up. It is unknown whether he got back up on his own or if the Blood Phoenix Emperor gave him a hand.
Compared to the gaunt and emaciated Lord of the Asura Prison, the Blood Phoenix Emperor was the epitome of bravery, domineering power, strength, and might.
The Blood Phoenix Emperor looked at Ye Chen with extreme vigilance and said, "I no longer dare to underestimate you, Lord of Reincarnation."
"You have so many trump cards up your sleeve that even I am afraid of them."
"Today, I'll make sure you can't play a single card!"
Having said that, he suddenly summoned an ancient bronze bell, flicked it with his finger, and with a clang, the bronze bell emitted a melodious, ancient, and desolate sound that resonated throughout the land and cleansed the heavens and earth. A powerful pressure swept across the eight wastelands.
The mountains and rivers below were leveled in an instant, with dust billowing everywhere.
Ye Chen groaned as he was struck by the sound of the bell. In an instant, the world before him turned pitch black. The aurora disappeared, and the sky, the earth, the forest, and the mountains all vanished.
The world before my eyes was nothing but boundless darkness and chaos, with a low-hanging, overcast sky.
Upon hearing the bell, the Lord of the Asura Prison turned pale with fright and hurriedly hid behind the Golden Feather Emperor for protection, trembling as he said:
"Your Majesty, you...you have...the Primordial Chaos Bell!"
He looked at the ancient bronze bell and was utterly awestruck.
"The Primordial Chaos Bell..."
Ye Chen's expression changed drastically as he looked at the ancient bell.
The Chaos Bell is one of the legendary Ten Great Dao Artifacts!
He saw that the ancient bronze bell was hazy and indistinct, with light and shadow blurring, and seemed to have no substance, only a phantom.
"It's not the real Chaos Bell, it's just a phantom."
Ye Chen murmured. Although it was an illusion, the power unleashed by the Chaos Beginning Bell was enough to kill him. He felt suffocated.
Not only did the world in front of me become dark and chaotic, but even the world inside my own body was plunged into darkness.
Ye Chen's connection with the Reincarnation Graveyard was completely severed, and even the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation Kingdom could not sense it.
If he hadn't already drawn his sword, the connection to this Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword would probably have been severed by the darkness and chaos.
This is the terrifying power of the Chaos Bell!
When the Chaos Bell tolls, all things in heaven and earth will be plunged into pitch-black chaos, with no sunlight. One will feel as if they are walking alone in a boundless, dark wilderness. Those with weaker Dao hearts will be instantly overwhelmed by darkness, loneliness, and fear.
"Yes, it was just a phantom."
"I only stole a wisp of spiritual energy from the Chaos Beginning Bell; I haven't truly taken it over yet."
"However, it's enough to deal with you."
The Blood Phoenix Emperor looked at Ye Chen with an extremely cold expression. Suddenly, he flashed forward and attacked with a palm strike. His blood and qi surged, and his palm strike was fierce and domineering, with unparalleled momentum.
Impacted by the sound of the Chaos Bell, Ye Chen saw only pitch-black chaos. Although he could barely make out the figure of the Blood Phoenix Emperor approaching, he could not see it clearly or discern its reality.
"Star Vortex Heavenly Eye!"
In the midst of the crisis, Ye Chen felt himself activating the Star Vortex Heavenly Eye, the pupil technique of the Primordial Spirit Eye!
With the opening of the Star Vortex Heavenly Eye, Ye Chen immediately regained his vision. In the darkness and chaos, he saw clearly the attack of the Blood Phoenix Emperor and even saw the weakness in his aura!
Ye Chen dodged to the side, avoiding the Blood Phoenix Emperor's palm strike, and then swung his sword to stab at the latter's waist.
The Blood Phoenix Emperor's palm strike caused the void to collapse, but it missed Ye Chen; even the most powerful palm strike was useless.
On the contrary, Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword is extremely sharp. If he were to be pierced, his weak point in his energy would be broken, and he would be seriously injured even if he did not die.
With a whoosh, the Blood Phoenix Emperor's blood surged, and he unfurled a pair of phoenix wings behind him, soaring three feet into the air and narrowly dodging Ye Chen's sword strike.
"It's my junior sister's eyes..."
The Blood Phoenix Emperor's face twitched as he looked into Ye Chen's bright, clear eyes, which were free of any impurities.
He immediately recognized that these were the eyes of the former Fairy Lingtong, part of the Seven Primordial Source Paths, capable of seeing through all things and understanding all cause and effect.
His Chaos Bell can unleash darkness and chaos, covering all things, but it cannot suppress the primordial divine source.
"Ho..."
Ye Chen was panting, but he didn't feel any relief.
The difference in cultivation between him and the Blood Phoenix Emperor was far too great. Even with the power of the Primordial Spirit Eye, the Primordial Divine Remains, and other abilities, he could at most only hold his own for a short time, and could not truly confront him.
The only way to fight back is to summon Haotian Lanshen.
But now, his connection with the Reincarnation Graveyard is severed by a dark and chaotic void.
"Lord of Reincarnation, you deserve to die! The Heavenly Father has entrusted you with a great mission, and you actually dare to accept it?"
The Blood Phoenix Emperor was furious. Ye Chen had now inherited the Primordial Divine Remains, the Primordial Heavenly Heart, the Primordial Spiritual Eye, and the Primordial Green Silk.
This shows that Tai Chu has also recognized Ye Chen and is willing to entrust him with great power.
But the magnitude of this power is indescribable and unimaginable; even the Blood Phoenix Emperor himself dared not bear it.
He was filled with fear. At this rate, he would be devoured by Ye Chen too, after all, he was one of the seven great source paths of the Primordial Beginning, and was part of the Primordial Beginning's flesh and blood.
"Fine, I'll kill you today to let God calm down."
"He was parasitized by a malignant tumor in the abyss, suffering terribly, and was really grasping at straws in his desperation."
The Blood Phoenix Emperor let out a soft sigh. He knew that the Primordial Era was currently enduring the greatest pain in the world, suffering from the parasitic infection of the abyss.
It was probably because of this pain that Tai Chu, in his desperation, resorted to desperate measures and actually placed all his bets on Ye Chen.
The Blood Phoenix Emperor could not accept this and immediately struck Ye Chen with another palm.
After this palm strike, the other palm followed, the back palm pushing against the front palm, the front palm connecting with the back palm, layer upon layer of palm force, the momentum overwhelming, the pressure violent, wanting to completely destroy Ye Chen.
His cultivation level was far superior to Ye Chen's; if it came down to a fight, Ye Chen would be no match for him.
Although Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword was sharp, what use was it when millions of violent and fierce palm forces were crushing down on him?
The Blood Phoenix Emperor himself was not having an easy time either, because he had used the power of the Pillar God, which triggered the Heavenly Tribulation of Burning Heaven and the Heavenly Punishment of the Pillar God's Contract. His whole body was engulfed in flames, and the tribulation fire burned his body with crackling sounds. He was suffering intense pain from being burned.
But as long as it can kill Ye Chen, this pain is naturally worth it.
Ye Chen felt suffocated and unable to resist. He gritted his teeth and immediately tried to unleash the Qian character technique to fight back desperately.
"Daddy!"
Just then, a ray of light flew out from the crack in the void; it was none other than Xi Yue.
As soon as Xi Yue appeared, she saw the Blood Phoenix Emperor's palm force, which was as heavy as a mountain, sweeping over her. The palm force was so fierce and domineering that it had solidified into a tangible form, like an impenetrable wall.
"Daddy, be careful!"
Xi Yue let out a loud shout and charged forward. Halfway there, her body transformed into a giant rhinoceros. With a loud "roar," she let out a deep and angry roar and charged towards the Blood Phoenix Emperor.
