Chapter 12551 The Unseen Killing Intent

"Divine Weapon Sword Qi!"

Despite the danger, Ancestor Tianwen remained calm. The spiritual energy behind him surged forth, transforming into seven divine sword energies that soared into the sky, shattering the laws of time and directly breaking Ye Chen's time-stopping technique. He then swung his sword to parry, blocking Ye Chen's attack.

"Divine Weapon Sword Qi? This is... a technique of Divine Weapon Manor?"

Ye Chenfei stepped back and looked at the divine weapon and sword energy behind Ancestor Tianwen, his expression changing slightly.

Master Tianwen laughed and said, "Yes, I have learned from the strengths of many schools, including the Four Heavenly Gates, various academies, and the martial arts and supernatural techniques of various schools and sects on the other side of the starry sky."

"However, I have rarely seen the way of divine authority. I hope the Lord of Reincarnation will enlighten me!"

The Golden Feather Emperor's Golden Auction House has already opened in Yin Yang Heavenly Continent. Inside the auction house, there are many supernatural and secret manuals, so Ancestor Tianwen can easily access them.

He could hardly obtain the many divine powers of the seventy-two pillar gods.

"Alright, then please give me your guidance, senior!"

Without wasting words or holding back, Ye Chen immediately poured out all his divine powers and secret techniques to Ancestor Tianwen.

The Path of Death, the Path of Creation, the Path of Time, the Path of Space, the Eye of Desperate Death, the Art of Disrupting the Mind, the Art of Fabricating Illusory Memories, the Sword of Civilization, the Wrath of the Storm King, the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade, the Sun Battle Soul Technique, the Heavenly Emperor's Demon-Suppressing Technique, the Golden Slash of the Azure Sky...

Ye Chen was recklessly pouring out his techniques, even overdrawing his own physical strength, as he wanted to fight with all his might, to elevate himself in the battle, and break through to the Divine Illumination Realm.

Xi Yue watched the battle from the sidelines, her eyes dazzled by the sight.

"Great, that feels great, that feels great!"

Ancestor Tianwen laughed loudly, activated the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Technique to form Yin-Yang Qi, which protected his body and resisted Ye Chen's various techniques, while simultaneously wielding his sword to clash with Ye Chen.

The two fought fiercely; it was less like a friendly sparring match and more like a life-or-death battle.

However, Ye Chen did not use the Sun Corona Heavenly Bead, the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Dao, or even the Qian Character Technique, and Ancestor Tianwen did not use his true power either.

The two only wanted to exchange ideas and discuss the Dao, not to truly decide their life or death.

The clash between the two unleashed a divine light that shook the heavens, even breaking out of the Heavenly Chess Game. Xiao He and the others guarding outside the chessboard were all shocked by the magnificent spectacle of the divine light soaring into the sky.

Before long, another large group of people arrived, their killing intent palpable. These were Zhu Xingjun, Qi Tianjun, and other disciples of the Lu Dao Sect, who had sensed the strange phenomenon and rushed over.

Where is the Lord of Reincarnation?

Upon seeing the divine light emanating from the chessboard, which contained the aura of reincarnation, Qitianjun immediately became alert and furious.

Ye Chen has now become the mortal enemy of the Lu Dao Sect!

Xiao He, having anticipated this, said, "Senior Brother Tianwen is exchanging ideas and discussing the Dao with the Lord of Reincarnation. If you want to capture the Lord of Reincarnation, then wait until the discussion is over."

The members of the Lu Dao Sect had grim expressions, but they dared not act rashly.

Amidst the starry sky of the chessboard, Ye Chen continued his battle with Ancestor Tianwen. Gradually, he felt his body getting hot, and the flames in his dantian grew increasingly intense, almost becoming the sun.

This is a sign of breaking through to the Divine Illumination Realm!

The Divine Illumination Realm is actually a continuation of the Burning Lamp Realm!
The life lamp in the dantian grows stronger and stronger, becoming a blazing sun that illuminates the heavens and earth; that is the realm of divine illumination upon attaining enlightenment.

Beyond the starry sky, those in the Divine Illumination Realm can be considered powerful figures, qualified to illuminate a world and establish their own sects.

However, since Ye Chen stepped into the other side of the starry sky, he has focused on high-level games and has been in contact with top-level experts, so his Divine Illumination Realm seems unremarkable.

In reality, this level is considered top-tier in the Starry Sky Beyond, and it is also a pillar of strength in the Nine Heavens Academy and the Four Heavenly Gates.

For Ye Chen, breaking through to the Divine Illumination Realm was extremely crucial, because the darkness in the abyss was becoming increasingly intense, and he had to strengthen his own light in order to have any chance of fighting against the abyss.

The life lamp in Ye Chen's dantian grew increasingly intense, essentially transforming into a sun. However, the light of this sun-like life lamp only shone within Ye Chen's body and could not spontaneously illuminate the outside world.

Ye Chen felt that his body was even more magnificent and vast than the infinitely diverse universe. The light of the life lamp in his dantian could not penetrate such a vast space to illuminate the outside world.

This is clearly because Ye Chen inherited the divine authority of space, and his body has an additional layer of primordial spatial laws. It is extremely difficult for the light within his body to spontaneously illuminate it, because the internal space is simply too vast; within a single mustard seed, there are three thousand endless worlds.

In particular, to avoid merging with Xiyue, Ye Chen elevated his body to a higher dimension. He had actually transcended the myriad realms and was no longer within the Five Elements. The origin of the Great Dao was no longer on the other side of the starry sky, but it had not been transferred to another world either.

Rather, it is a mysterious and indescribable spatial singularity, a high-dimensional spatial singularity that exists in theory but is actually elusive.

"Lord of Reincarnation, this is the end. Your spiritual energy is almost depleted."

"If you continue fighting, you'll have to use the power of the Great Dao's origin."

After fighting for half a day, Master Tianwen smiled slightly, sheathed his longsword, and flew backward, ending the sparring match.

Ye Chen took a breath; after the battle, he felt an overwhelming fatigue wash over him.

Indeed, his spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and if he continued fighting, he would have to use the power of the Great Dao's origin.

"pity……"

Ye Chen sighed softly, then felt his dantian. The light from his life lamp was already extremely bright, even more so than that of an ordinary martial artist at the ninth level of the Divine Illumination Realm.

But for Ye Chen himself, his cultivation level could only be considered as half a step into the Divine Illumination Realm, or even less than the first level of the Divine Illumination Realm.

Because the light of his life lamp, shining spontaneously, can only illuminate his own body and cannot penetrate his body to shine into the outside world.

In other words, in a static state, he can only take care of himself and cannot help the world.

A true master of the Divine Illumination Realm can benefit the world and illuminate a region of the starry sky.

"Don't feel sorry. It's already quite remarkable that you've reached the half-step Divine Illumination Realm."

Master Tianwen laughed.

Ye Chen's desire to break through was so strong that even Ancestor Tianwen could clearly sense it.

"With your current strength, when I hold the Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects in the future, you will at least have a chance to be in the top three."

Tianwen Zushi Dao.

"Just top three? And there's a chance?"

Is there some special circumstance involved?
Ye Chen frowned. He felt that in his current state, he was practically invincible and could win the championship of the Ten Thousand Sects Tournament.

Ancestor Tianwen laughed and said, "At that time, the Ten Thousand Sects Conference will be attended by the End God Temple, the Black Abyss Demon Palace, and powerful figures from the Myriad Star Heavenly Palace and the Divine Weapon Manor. Do you think it will be so easy for you to win the championship?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Black Abyss Demon Palace? You're not going to say that even the Black Queen Mother is coming to participate, are you?"

Ancestor Tianwen waved his hand and said, "That won't happen. The Elder Council has stipulated that only those at or below the Life Source Realm are allowed to participate in this Ten Thousand Sects Conference."

"Those above the Life Source Realm, the Great Heaven Undying Realm, and the Heavenly Dao Realm are not allowed to participate."

"Because the experts at these two levels are too powerful, and each of them has many hidden cards. If they were to fight each other, it would be a chaotic free-for-all that could cause a cataclysmic disaster."

The Seven Great Realms of the Other Side of the Starry Sky: Sun and Moon, Burning Lamp, Abyss, Divine Illumination, Source of Life, Great Heaven Undying, and Heavenly Dao. The Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect only allows participants from the first five realms to compete.

The top experts of the latter two realms must not be allowed to interfere, otherwise the entire other side of the starry sky, and even the space-time without time, will be in danger of destruction.

"If the Undying Realm and Heavenly Dao Realm experts don't get involved, then at most it's just the Life Source Realm. Who else can compete with me?"

Ye Chen spoke calmly, but there was an air of arrogance behind his words.

He has every right to be proud.

With his current strength, how could martial artists in the first five realms possibly be his match?
Only those at the Immortal Realm and Heavenly Dao Realm are qualified to fight him.

Among the eight true disciples of the Temple of the End, Li Yejun and Ni Changjun are slightly weaker, being warriors at the Great Heaven Undying Realm, while Li Yejun is a Heavenly Dao Realm expert.

Only people of their caliber are qualified to fight Ye Chen.

If they are unable to play, and if Black Queen Mother, Ling Xuhe, the Palace Master of Wanxing Heavenly Palace, and Shen Lian, the Master of Divine Weapon Manor, also do not play, then Ye Chen will definitely win the championship. Ordinary geniuses probably cannot withstand even one move from him.

Ancestor Tianwen said, "Lord of Reincarnation, you must not be careless. There are many ancient geniuses hidden in Yin Yang Heavenly Continent. They existed before the birth of the Wu Wu Time and Space. They are geniuses from outside the world."

"A genius from outside the world?" Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Ancestor Tianwen said, "Yes, although our Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent is a new continent, it actually contains many traces of other worlds. The remains of many powerful beings from the past worlds are buried here. Who knows if they will awaken?"

"They have many methods that you may have never even heard of."

"Even ignoring these ancient beings from beyond the world, such as Lord Li Ye, Lord Ni Chang, and Lord Ming Zhao, they will also sever their cultivation to participate in the competition. You will have no shortage of enemies."

"What? Cut off your cultivation to participate in the competition?" Ye Chen was shocked. Was it necessary to pay such a high price for a grand tournament?

Cutting off one's own cultivation level is not just a temporary suppression, but a complete severing of one's original cultivation level, causing one's cultivation to drop and thus meet the requirements for participating in the competition.

"Yes."

"Are they insane? Are they trying to wipe out all those at the Undying Realm and Heavenly Dao Realm?"

Ye Chen found it unbelievable.

Master Tianwen shook his head and said, "They're not going crazy; they'll end up committing suicide sooner or later."

"Because powerful individuals like them, and those like me, were not born with pure essence."

"We are a mixture of too many things: the obsessions of the primordial world, the obsessions of the abyss, the chaotic laws of the outer heavens, the indescribable remnants of ancient beast blood, the remnants of demonic energy, and so on."

"We are not pure humans, but beings created by the fusion of countless powerful and terrifying things and the primordial energy of the Great Dao."

"To become pure, to truly become an adult, and to escape the torment of demons, sins, and chaos, one must have the courage to sever oneself!"

"To cut away the chaos and keep the essence is to mutilate oneself, but also to achieve the ultimate sublimation."

Ye Chen murmured, "Ultimate sublimation..."

Master Tianwen said, "In short, when the Ten Thousand Sects Conference begins, you will face many powerful opponents, but I think with your strength, you still have a great chance of getting into the top three."

He patted Ye Chen on the shoulder, a smile of approval on his face.

Ye Chen was filled with many thoughts. It seemed that the Ten Thousand Sects Conference was not as simple as he had imagined.

The environment of this Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent was more complex than he had imagined. It was not a purely new continent, but rather a mixture of a large amount of material and remains from the outer world.

"Don't worry, even if you don't win the championship, you can still get a generous reward if you get into the top three. You can even get the core cultivation technique of my Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect as a reward."

"Hmm, you are practicing the Qian character technique, but you don't have a matching cultivation method. This is always a hidden danger, and it is easy to suffer from qi deviation."

"After the Ten Thousand Sects Conference ends, you will receive the core cultivation technique as a reward. Remember to cultivate it diligently."

The Heavenly Question Master gave instructions.

Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed a seed of trouble within his own body.

The seed of the final calamity has been dealt with; this is another seed of calamity.

It was a negative effect caused by his previous practice of the Qian character technique without the corresponding accompanying cultivation method.

He buried this negative calamity in the future, and it will erupt when he breaks through to the Divine Illumination Realm.

He had just stepped into the half-step Divine Illumination Realm, but the seed of calamity from the Qian character technique showed no signs of being activated.

This is clearly because Ye Chen has not yet truly entered the Divine Illumination Realm; his light can only illuminate himself and cannot reach the outside world.

However, he will definitely be able to break through before the Ten Thousand Sects Conference begins. When the Qian Character Technique's Calamity Seed explodes, it will be quite a problem.

With Ye Chen's current strength, he certainly wouldn't be afraid of just one explosion.

However, the seeds of disaster from the Qian character formula are endless; once they explode, there will be a second and a third.

Because he practiced the Qian character technique without a corresponding cultivation method, the side effects would persist, like a bone-deep carbuncle or a demonic obstacle in his heart.

He may have resolved it once, but there will be a second and a third time. The evil forces are endless, unless one obtains the complete set of techniques from the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect.

"Senior, can you give me the accompanying cultivation technique now?"

Although he knew the chances were slim, Ye Chen still mustered up the courage to ask.

Master Tianwen laughed and said, "That's impossible. I can't possibly violate the rules of the Elder Council."

"You practiced the Qian character technique on your own. I accepted you as a disciple, which is already doing my best to protect you. I can't possibly show you any more favoritism."

The Yin Yang Divine Path Sect does not have a unified sect leader; instead, it uses the Elder Council as its decision-making body. Even Ancestor Tianwen respects the various rules and regulations of the Elder Council.

By accepting Ye Chen as a disciple, he had already taken a lot of risks, and at the very least, he had completely offended the Lu Dao Sect.

When the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects begins, the Slaughtering Dao Sect will definitely cause trouble.

"Ok."

Ye Chen was helpless. It seemed that if he wanted to completely resolve the negative effects of the Qian Character Technique, he would have to personally participate in the Ten Thousand Sects Conference and find a way to get into the top three.

Master Tianwen said, "Let's go, I'll take you out. Would you like to sit in my cave for a while?"

With Zhu Xingjun, Qitianjun, and other disciples of the Lu Dao Sect still eyeing the area covetously, Ancestor Tianwen naturally had to protect Ye Chen.

Ye Chen said, "No, I want to stay here and train with Xi Yue."

He plans to have Xiyue participate in the upcoming Grand Tournament, hoping she can achieve a high ranking.

If Ye Chen wants Xi Yue to achieve a good ranking, he must make her stronger, so he plans to continue training her.

Furthermore, Ye Chen also wanted to try to solve this Heavenly Chess Game.

Solving the Heavenly Chess Formation will yield a reward from the Great Dao. If it can be completely solved, the reward might even allow you to create a Great Dao artifact!

"Alright, then I'll take care of the people from the Slaughtering Dao Sect outside for you."

A chill flashed in Tianwen Ancestor's eyes. He had benefited greatly from his exchange and discussion with Ye Chen, and now he naturally wanted to protect Ye Chen as a way of repaying him.

"Thank you."

Ye Chen bowed and thanked him.

Ancestor Tianwen hummed in response and was about to take his leave when he glanced at Ye Chen one last time. Suddenly, he froze, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Senior, what's wrong?"

Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor frowned deeply, looking at Ye Chen's face, and said:
"Lord of Reincarnation, I suddenly noticed that your forehead is dark, as if a great calamity is about to befall you."

"If you stay here, you might die!"

"You should come with me to my cave to continue our discussion; perhaps we can avoid disaster there."

Ye Chen asked in surprise, "A dark aura between the eyebrows means impending doom?"

"What great calamity awaits me in this game of questioning the heavens?"

"Could it be that Patriarch Tingyou is going to descend in person? Is he still healing?"

Ye Chen wanted to stay at the Wentian Chess Game because it was safe enough to avoid outside interference, allowing him to focus on training Xi Yue.

Master Tianwen pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know. I just have a feeling that a terrible calamity will soon befall you."

"That disaster is difficult even for me to handle!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Even you, senior, find it troublesome?"

What kind of calamity could cause even the Heavenly Question Ancestor to feel troubled and wary? Is it a natural disaster from outside the world?
