Chapter 12550 Time and Space

Chapter 12550 Time and Space

Ye Chen tried to gently push Xi Yue away. This time, the two were finally able to separate and were no longer stuck together.

Xi Yue gasped for breath, her face burned red by the flames of the calamity, a horrific wound on her body, and her tender body was filled with a sense of shattering.

The fluctuations of the spatial laws subsided, and the calamity of the Heaven-Burning Tribulation also subsided. Xi Yue was freed from the boundless pain and suffering, but felt an endless emptiness. She softly called out, "Father."

She then fainted in Ye Chen's arms.

Ye Chen gathered spiritual energy and transformed it into a complete set of clothes, which he then put on her and placed her aside to rest. He then sat cross-legged silently, sensing the changes in her body.

Ye Chen discovered that his cultivation had broken through again, and he had advanced to the peak of the ninth level of the Abyss Realm!
"This breakthrough speed is getting faster and faster!"

"My time and spacetime are now one with Xiyue's, and we share the laws of time and space."

Ye Chen exclaimed in admiration, and then felt a mysterious connection between himself and Xi Yue, seemingly there yet not there, a connection entangled in time and space.

It's like time particles and space particles, entangled with each other.

Even if the two are separated by vast distances, this connection will never be broken, and they can sense each other's presence at any time.

Now, in addition to the divine power of time, Ye Chen also possesses the divine power of space within his body!

Xi Yue was no exception; she also possessed divine powers over time and space, but she didn't wield them as skillfully as Ye Chen.

Previously, the two were unified in time and space, which was a connection between laws, and the divine authority of time and space was, in a sense, merged together.

Even though the two have separated, the divine power over time and space has not weakened; it remains equally powerful.

In other words, Ye Chen is both the God of the Universe and the God of the Universe.

The same applies to Xiyue, who is both the God of the Universe and the God of the Sky.

However, the two have different focuses.

Ye Chen's divine authority over time and space focuses more on time.

Xi Yue, on the other hand, focuses more on space.

……

After sleeping for two days, Xi Yue slowly woke up. Upon waking and seeing Ye Chen beside her, she felt a sense of peace and softly called out, "Father..."

Ye Chen put his arm around her, helped her sit up, and asked, "Xi Yue, how are you feeling?"

He was still a little worried, after all, the Heavenly Tribulation was too terrifying, and Xi Yue might not be able to withstand it.

Xi Yue trembled slightly, recalling the torment she had endured, and her face turned pale. Then she took a deep breath and said, "Father, I...I'm alright."

"It's like there's a voice roaring in my head, it seems to be the voice of the God of the Universe."

Ye Chen frowned and said, "Yu Shen?"

It seems that Yu Shen is not completely dead and is still parasitizing Xi Yue's mind.

Xi Yue took Ye Chen as her spiritual beacon and was not afraid of Yu Shen's interference. However, after the torment of the Burning Heaven Tribulation, her Dao heart was obviously weak and timid, and she might even be brewing inner demons and karmic obstacles!

“You are more timid than before, Xiyue, this is the effect of the Great Calamity of Burning Heaven.”

Upon hearing Xi Yue's voice, Ye Chen sensed that her Dao heart had weakened, lacking the unwavering drive she once possessed.

She was, after all, just a little girl. It was already a miracle that she didn't go crazy or break down after enduring the torment of the Heavenly Calamity.

As Xi Yue listened to Ye Chen's words, her body trembled. She hugged her knees with both hands, curled up into a ball, and remained silent, her lips turning blue and trembling.

Now that spacetime has been unified, and she has also shared Ye Chen's power of the Time God Path, the Heaven-Burning Calamity will be even more terrifying.

Ye Chen felt that things couldn't continue like this. After all, Xi Yue was his only biological daughter, and he couldn't accept it if she really broke down and went crazy.

“Xi Yue, your Dao heart is too weak. This is not your fault. Even a true pillar god cannot withstand the torment of the Heaven-Burning Tribulation.”

"But at the very least, you can't be overwhelmed by the calamity all at once."

"You have to be strong."

Ye Chen took out the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword and threw it in front of Xi Yue.

"Daddy..."

Xi Yue glanced at the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, then looked up at Ye Chen, momentarily confused.

"While we have time, I'm going to give you a special training session."

"I will train you until you are initially adapted to the Great Calamity of Burning Heaven."

"From now on, you will swing your sword 30,000 times every day until the end ten thousand years from now."

Ye Chen's voice turned serious. He had to give Xi Yue a special training session to make her stronger and better able to adapt to the Heavenly Tribulation.

Xi Yue is his and Feng Qingxue's child, combining the best of both of them and fusing with a Xuanjia Si ancient beast. Her potential is enormous.

With proper training, she could become a powerful trump card for Ye Chen in the future.

"Swinging the sword 30,000 times a day, will it end after 10,000 years?"

Xi Yue's eyes widened in disbelief. "Father, are we... are we going to spend ten thousand years here? What about Mother?"

Looking at the vast, dark starry sky around her, she felt only confusion and fear.

Ye Chen said, "For us who have mastered the laws of space and time, ten thousand years is but a blink of an eye."

"You can't slack off. Starting today, you'll undergo special training. Swing your sword 30,000 times, immediately!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen opened a time domain to ensure that the flow of time slowed down.

In this way, even if Xiyue undergoes special training for ten thousand years, not much time will have passed in the outside world.

Although this realm of time is isolated from the world and cannot be nourished by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, Xi Yue now does not need to seek the Dao from Heaven and Earth; she only needs to tap into her own power.

"Yes!"

Xi Yue gritted her teeth, picked up the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword, and began to wield it.

Horizontal slashes, straight thrusts, sideways cuts—sword after sword, day after day, year after year…

Xi Yue practiced swordsmanship continuously for about a hundred years. She persevered every day, but even after a hundred years, her body still looked like that of a ten-year-old girl.

"Father, it's been a hundred years, why do I still seem to have never grown up?"

Xi Yuedao.

Ye Chen, possessing the Primordial Spirit Eye and keen insight into the secrets of heaven, said, "Since you have fused with the Xuanjia Rhinoceros, your body is now like the Xuanjia Rhinoceros. It will take a very, very long time for you to grow up."

Although Ye Chen couldn't see through the origin of the Xuanjia Rhinoceros, he could tell that it was an ancient and ferocious beast from outside the world.

Even the cycle of birth and death of the universe, such a long time, is just a blink of an eye for this ancient beast.

Since Xi Yue has merged with the Xuanjia Rhinoceros, her body, like the Xuanjia Rhinoceros, will not grow a year older even after billions of years, and will always remain the appearance of a ten-year-old girl.

This is also a good thing, because as we grow up, the vicissitudes of time can bring wear and tear, while maintaining the body of a child and eternal youth has endless benefits.

"Ok."

Xi Yue loosened her muscles and bones, then continued practicing her sword.

Three hundred years.

Five hundred years.

A thousand years.

……

With unwavering dedication to sword practice, she became increasingly focused and pure of heart.

Ye Chen was quite satisfied. Time flew by, and soon ten thousand years had passed.

"Father, it's been ten thousand years."

After practicing swordsmanship for ten thousand years, Xi Yue's body still resembled that of a ten-year-old child, but his temperament had become much more refined and capable. His waist was straight, and his whole person was as sharp and ruthless as a sword.

"Very good, your Dao heart has become much stronger."

"Next, you will use the power of space to practice your sword, still swinging your sword 30,000 times a day, but this time you will practice for 100,000 years."

Ye Chen said calmly.

"One hundred thousand years?"

Xi Yue's eyes widened, and she gasped in astonishment.

"It's just a mere hundred thousand years. There are millions, tens of millions of years to come, the cycle of eras, the cycle of birth and death of the universe."

"If you want to endure the pain of the Heaven-Burning Tribulation, you must cultivate diligently!"

Ye Chen's face was extremely solemn. As a father, he had to take responsibility for Xi Yue!
"Ok."

Xi Yue was a little dejected, but in the end she obediently complied.

Having practiced swordsmanship for ten thousand years, her Dao heart has become much more resilient. It is not unacceptable for her to practice swordsmanship for another one hundred thousand years.

Most importantly, she didn't want to disappoint Ye Chen!

She picked up the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword and continued practicing her swordplay.

Ye Chen said, "It's not like this, you have to practice alone. You need to mobilize the power of the spatial divine path."

Xi Yue hesitated for a moment, then said, "But, this would trigger a cataclysmic calamity that burns the heavens."

Ye Chen said, "It's meant to trigger a great calamity. You have to gradually adapt to the pain of the Heaven-Burning Calamity."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Alright!"

She then mobilized a trace of the power of the spatial divine path and poured it into the sword, but dared not mobilize too much.

laugh!
As she swung her sword, her swordplay became much more ferocious than before, thanks to the infusion of spatial power. However, as she swung her sword, she felt a strange heat rising in her dantian, which was about to burst forth. Immediately afterward, her hands and feet became hot and burning, as if there were eerie flames burning beneath her skin.

This is the erosion of the Great Calamity that will burn the heavens!

Xi Yue gritted her teeth and persevered, swinging her sword 30,000 times. After a day of sword practice, her skin and flesh were charred and rotten, a result of being burned by the Heaven-Burning Calamity.

She fused with the Xuanjia Rhinoceros, but after enduring the erosion of the Burning Heaven Tribulation for a whole day, even the flesh and blood of the Xuanjia Rhinoceros could not remain unharmed.

"Father, my skin and flesh are all rotting."

Xi Yue's eyes were slightly red as she looked at the charred, rotten, and pus-filled muscles on her wrist, feeling waves of burning pain.

Ye Chen said, "Then cut away the rotten flesh, rest for one night, and continue practicing swordsmanship tomorrow. Swing your sword 30,000 times every day, not once less!"

Xi Yue has fused with the flesh and blood of the Xuanjia Rhinoceros, making her very powerful. After removing the rotten flesh and blood, new flesh and blood can grow back quickly.

Moreover, the newly formed flesh and blood will be even stronger.

The power of the Xuanjia Rhinoceros can also be further stimulated.

"Daddy..."

Looking at Ye Chen's stern expression, Xi Yue felt a little wronged.

"Cut away the rotten flesh, then go to sleep."

Ye Chen said coldly.

Xi Yue gave a soft "hmm," then used her sword to cut away the rotten flesh and scrape off the blackened, burned parts of the bone, causing her to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

Ye Chen watched silently from the side. Xi Yue held back her tears, cut away the rotten flesh, and went to sleep. She got up again the next day to practice her sword.

After practicing swordsmanship for a day, the skin and flesh would rot again, so they would continue to cut it away to allow new flesh to grow.

This brutal training continued for ten thousand years.

Calculating the time, Ye Chen and Xi Yue have spent 20,000 years inside the Asking Heaven Chess Game, but only two days have passed in the outside world.

In fact, with Ye Chen's current cultivation of the Time Law, he could compress 20,000 years, or even 2 million years, 20 million years, or 100 million years into the blink of an eye.

However, this extreme compression might harm Xiyue's body, so he relaxed it a bit, making it 10,000 years a day.

On this day, Xi Yue practiced her sword as usual, when a gentle and cheerful voice came from outside:

"Lord of Reincarnation, are you and your daughter inside?"

It was the voice of the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor.

Ye Chen activated his Star Vortex Heavenly Eye to observe the outside world, only to see that Ancestor Tianwen had arrived and was standing next to the Questioning Heaven Chess Game.

Xiao He, the deputy sect leader of the Dao Asking Sect, followed behind the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor with several disciples.

Xiao He's face was quite ugly. He hadn't expected that Ye Chen would actually enter the Heavenly Chess Game without his knowledge.

Ye Chen's method of concealing his aura is simply too powerful.

Ye Chen replied, "Senior, you've returned from the Temple of the End? How did your sparring session with Li Yejun go?"

Master Tianwen laughed and said, "He is my junior, and I am on his territory, so I have to give him some face. I would say he was slightly better in this sparring match."

"Lord of Reincarnation, you have resolved the seed of the final calamity. I have even heard that you have unified time and space and obtained the authority of the God of Space. Congratulations!"

Ye Chen said, "It's all thanks to you, senior."

Without the help of Ancestor Tianwen to delay, Ye Chen would not have been able to leave Li Yejun's clutches so easily.

Master Tianwen smiled again and said, "You have resolved all your calamities and even have time to train your daughter here. Don't forget our agreement to discuss the Dao."

Upon hearing what the Heavenly Question Ancestor said, Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

He was training Xiyue here, but the Heavenly Questioning Chess Game was an obstacle. However, the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor was able to see the cause and effect, which was truly amazing.

“I naturally remember this agreement to discuss the Dao. I have never left Tianzhou and have been waiting here for the arrival of the senior.”

"When would you like to discuss the Dao, senior?"

Ye Chen asked.

"It's now!"

Without saying a word, Ancestor Tianwen flashed into the Tianwen Chess Game, instantly traversing countless diverse starry worlds to arrive at Ye Chen's location.

Ye Chen was startled to see that he had found him so quickly, and his voice became somewhat wary as he said, "Senior, you have such amazing supernatural powers that you found me so quickly."

The Heavenly Chess Game contains an infinite starry sky. Even if the Blood Phoenix Emperor and the Golden Feather Emperor came, they wouldn't be able to find Ye Chen in an instant. But the Heavenly Question Ancestor did it.

Master Tianwen laughed and said, "Lord of Reincarnation, you are a disciple of my Daoist Sect. There is an inseparable karmic connection between us, so it is not difficult for me to find you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine once more.

When he agreed to join the Daoist Sect as a disciple of the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor, a karmic connection was indeed established between them.

But he didn't expect that with such a simple cause and effect, the Heavenly Question Ancestor could trace it directly back to his location.

"This Ancestor Tianwen's strength is comparable to that of the Pillar God!"

Ye Chen remained vigilant. After the birth of Yin Yang Heavenly Continent, many powerful individuals also emerged, some of whom possessed strength comparable to Pillar Gods.

Without a doubt, Ancestor Tianwen was one of those top experts!

However, judging from the appearance of the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor, there was only a pure desire to seek the Dao in his eyes, without any other impurities.

Ye Chen felt somewhat relieved. It seemed that Ancestor Tianwen was indeed a true seeker of the Dao, with a pure heart and no complicated calculations. He only wanted to seek the Dao and comprehend the ultimate mysteries of heaven and earth.

When Xi Yue saw that Ancestor Tianwen had arrived, he sheathed his sword and stood to one side with his hands at his sides.

"How does Senior wish to discuss the Dao?"

Ye Chen composed himself and asked.

The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor smiled and said, "The true Dao can only be revealed in the most intense life-and-death battles."

"Whether it's discussing the Dao or proving the Dao, it all comes down to war, and only war!"

"Draw your sword, Lord of Reincarnation! Use all the skills you have acquired to fight me!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was quite shocked. He hadn't expected that the Heavenly Question Ancestor's method of discussing the Dao would be so simple and straightforward.

This is indeed the quickest way; nothing proves enlightenment better than battle.

"Okay, let's fight!"

Ye Chen nodded and gave Xi Yue a meaningful look.

Xi Yue understood and immediately tossed the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword in her hand to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen caught it with his hands and said, "Xi Yue, watch carefully and learn well."

Having said that, Ye Chen didn't waste any more words and directly thrust his sword at Ancestor Tianwen.

Currently, his cultivation level is at the peak of the ninth level of the Abyss Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the Divine Illumination Realm.

The Divine Illumination Realm is like the sun illuminating the abyss. It is a very important realm. Once you enter this realm, the divine light of the Dao will greatly intensify, and the darkness of the abyss will no longer be able to get close to you.

Ye Chen has already broken with the Abyss Yin God and will face endless dangers from the Abyss enemies in the future. The sooner he breaks through to the Divine Illumination Realm, the sooner he can improve his self-protection capabilities.

Breaking through from the Abyss Realm to the Divine Illumination Realm is obviously not an easy task; it cannot be achieved simply by accumulating cultivation resources.

Some barriers to mastery can only be broken through in fierce battles and life-or-death struggles.

Now that he can fight against Ancestor Tianwen, it is naturally a good opportunity for Ye Chen to break through.

When the Heavenly Question Ancestor saw Ye Chen thrusting his sword at him, he smiled slightly. He gathered spiritual energy in his hand into a long sword and was about to raise it to block when he felt his body stiffen.

"Time Stop Spell!"

Ye Chen's gaze sharpened, and the tip of his sword stabbed fiercely toward the shoulder of the Heavenly Question Ancestor. His time domain was not closed yet, and as soon as the battle began, he directly used a time-stop spell, causing the Heavenly Question Ancestor's body to freeze.

This battle was ultimately for the purpose of discussing the Dao, so Ancestor Tianwen naturally wouldn't use his full strength; he simply wanted to exchange ideas and practice.

Ye Chen activated his time-stopping technique, and he was immediately hit, unable to move.
