Chapter 12565 The Battle of the Pillar Gods

Chapter 12565 The Battle of the Pillar Gods
As for Emperor Jinyu, although Ye Chen's traces no longer exist, Emperor Jinyu still harbors hatred towards the Nine Heavens Reincarnation Alliance out of instinct.

Therefore, trade within the Nine Heavens Reincarnation Alliance is still subject to many restrictions, and many rare and precious natural treasures cannot be purchased.

The upcoming Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects is of paramount importance to Ye Chen's faction.

As long as one can make a name for oneself, establish a reputation, and demonstrate strength, one can break through the trade restrictions of the gold auction house.

Time passed day by day, and the start of the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects was drawing ever closer.

These days, Ye Chen has been reuniting with Su Yunli, the Goddess of Beauty, Xia Ruoxue, Ji Siqing, and other women at the palace in the Morning Dawn Flower Sea.

It's a pity that Feng Qingxue and Xiyue aren't here; it's still a bit of a regret.

Given Feng Qingxue's pure approach to love, she probably couldn't accept having so many women accompanying Ye Chen.

The good news is that the goddess is pregnant.

In fact, to avoid trouble, Ye Chen had been deliberately avoiding pregnancy and secluded himself to cultivate his essence, never actually spreading his seed.

Feng Qingxue was an accident. The two had been in love for ten thousand years, which happened in a dream. Ye Chen did not deliberately seclude himself to cultivate his inner energy, so she became pregnant in the dream. The dream then became reality, and Xiyue was born.

The goddess of beauty became pregnant, but it was at her own request.

She said she wanted a child to fulfill her path to perfection.

The union of Yin and Yang is not yet truly perfect; a descendant is necessary to achieve true harmony in life.

Ye Chen granted her request.

Upon seeing that the goddess was pregnant, Ye Chen felt both joy and a little nervous.

Because the world is too chaotic and the future is too uncertain, having children now is obviously too hasty; he is not ready to be a father.

That was purely an accident.

However, since the goddess of beauty wanted to attain enlightenment and achieve true perfection, Ye Chen, after weighing the options, ultimately granted her wish.

As for Su Yunli, Xia Ruoxue, Ji Siqing, and others who also expressed their desire to get pregnant, Ye Chen directly refused, saying that now was not the time to have offspring.

He didn't want his children to face such a chaotic world.

Ye Chen spent half a month in the palace with the women, harmonizing his yin and yang, and his cultivation improved considerably, advancing to the initial stage of the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm.

There are only half a month left before the start of the Ten Thousand Sects Conference.

According to the rules of the tournament, in order to participate, one's cultivation level must be at or below the Life Source Realm.

With Ye Chen's cultivation at the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm, he was confident that he could contend with martial artists at the Life Source Realm. He had already received news that true disciples such as Li Yejun, Ming Zhaojun, and Ni Changjun in the End God Temple had all severed their cultivation to drop to the peak of the Life Source Realm, just barely making it to the Ten Thousand Sects Conference.

When they severed their cultivation, they didn't actually cut off their cultivation. Instead, like Su Yunli, they severed a Dharma body, which they could then merge back into at any time to restore their peak cultivation.

Therefore, although their cultivation level has been severed on the surface, their actual strength has not diminished in the slightest.

Of course, to ensure fairness in the competition, the Yin-Yang Divine Path Sect will use special Yin-Yang methods to harmonize the strength of the participants, and will not allow any power exceeding the Life Source Realm to appear. Even if such power does appear, it will be restricted and suppressed.

Some geniuses from outside the world also signed up for the competition.

This grand gathering of ten thousand sects is truly a gathering of stars and geniuses.

The Yin-Yang Divine Path Sect wants to revive the Abyss, and everyone is willing to contribute. After all, a world of absolute light is the end of the world, and the balance of Yin and Yang is the right path.

Now, the sky on the other side of the starry sky is almost entirely white, with only a faint hint of blue. Occasionally, there will be a brief moment of darkness, but it doesn't last long before it is replaced by pure white light.

Such an eternally bright sky is truly terrifying.

With only ten days left before the start of the Ten Thousand Sects Conference, Ren Feifan found Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, how was your rest?" Ren Feifan asked.

Ye Chen said, "Senior Ren, I am in good health."

Ren Feifan smiled and said, "I heard that the Goddess of Beauty is pregnant. Congratulations!"

Ye Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you."

After a pause, Ren Feifan added, "Well, there are only ten days left. If you have time, you can go to Shura City to train."

Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What Asura City?"

Ren Feifan said, "It was set up by Emperor Jinyu. It's actually a place for martial arts duels, for people to compete in martial arts."

"Many geniuses, even those from outside the world, are warming up and practicing in the arena in Shura City in preparation for the upcoming Ten Thousand Sects Conference."

"You can also warm up and stretch your muscles."

Ye Chen's heart stirred again. For the past half month, he had been indulging in a gentle embrace, and he felt that his muscles and bones had become rusty.

If there's a chance to warm up, that would be even better.

"If you're interested, you can take this token and enter Shura City directly."

Ren Feifan took out a token with the words "Shura" engraved on it.

"That's good, it's nice to stretch your muscles."

Ye Chen nodded, accepted the token, returned to the palace to bid farewell to the women, and then boarded the Azure Dragon Boat to head to Shura City, intending to warm up for the martial arts competition and prepare for the Myriad Sects Conference.

On the other side of the starry sky, the starry sky almost no longer exists, only a pure white sky like the polar day. Many natural disasters of the past no longer exist, and the world is unusually peaceful and serene, so peaceful that it makes people want to doze off.

Once you fall into a deep sleep, you may be enveloped by the light of day, and your whole being will become light.

As Ye Chen flew along the boat, he witnessed many strange sights. Some creatures turned into light out of thin air and merged into the polar day sky, disappearing into water like water. Large swathes of pure white appeared across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, vast territories, and the boundless cosmos.

The world became riddled with holes. In many places, the primordial light washed away everything, leaving behind a strange, pure white world where nothing existed.

Ye Chen tried throwing a pebble in, and unsurprisingly, the pebble was instantly assimilated by the light and turned into pure blankness.

One can imagine that if an ordinary person entered those blank areas, they would surely be completely disappeared and turned into pure white light.

Watching the changes unfolding across the world, Ye Chen felt immense apprehension.

The world of eternal light is so terrifying.

If this is not stopped, all the heavens and myriad realms will be washed away into blankness, turning into pure white light.

Ye Chen sensed a trace of danger and projected his spirit onto the Reincarnation Graveyard. In the graveyard, there were still some tombstones, and some powerful beings had not yet awakened.

However, the remaining unawakened tombstones are shrouded in the black mist of the abyss, and they cannot awaken until the mist is dispelled.

Of all the powerful beings in the cycle of reincarnation, only Haotian Lanshen's arm remains!
"I must revive Haotian Lanshen, otherwise the future will be fraught with dangers that I will not be able to cope with."

Ye Chen thought to himself that there were too many dangers in the future. Although he had powerful figures like Ren Feifan and Meishen to protect him, they could not be by his side at all times. If a situation arose where "distant water cannot quench a nearby fire," it would be terrible.

The existence of a powerful being capable of reincarnation is essential.

"The Law of Impure Earth, Impure Earth Reincarnation!"

Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still summoned the Fragment of Impure Earth and cast a Fragment of Impure Earth Law into Haotian Lanshen's arm.

He intends to resurrect Haotian Lanshen through impure earth!

After being resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, Haotian Lanshen will undoubtedly become a clay puppet. However, at this critical juncture, Ye Chen can't worry about that anymore. He must prepare a trump card in advance to deal with any unforeseen circumstances in the future.

Gululu...

After the Impure Earth Law was released, Haotian Lanshen's arm writhed and gradually drew out tender flesh and blood buds, followed by meridians and body bones.

Before long, a complete human figure appeared before Ye Chen.

Haotian Lanshen has been successfully resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique!

After being resurrected, Haotian Lanshen looked somewhat bewildered, his gaze sweeping around the Samsara Graveyard as he murmured, "Where am I? Who am I?"

Then he looked at Ye Chen and asked, "And who are you?"

Ye Chen felt a wave of weakness. Reviving a powerhouse of Haotian Lanshen's level had also consumed a huge amount of his spiritual energy.

Fortunately, Ye Chen had previously plundered a considerable amount of rare and precious materials and Dao crystals at Ling Song Zhenjun's Daoist temple. He absorbed the spiritual energy of the Dao crystals to restore his strength while speaking to Hao Tianlan Shen:
"Senior, have you forgotten everything?"

He had just poured his will into the Impure Earth Law to ensure that Haotian Lanshen would not forget him.

Haotian Lanshen was stunned, frowned slightly and pondered. Many memories flooded back, and he felt a slight headache. He said:

"Hmm, I remember now. I am Haotian Lanshen, and this is the Reincarnation Graveyard."

"I've actually been resurrected."

"Ye Chen, you were annihilated by the Abyss, yet you were able to revive!"

Haotian Lanshen was shaken, and then felt something strange about his body.

He opened his hands, clenched his fists, then opened them again, and said, "This body of mine is very strange; it seems not to belong to me."

Ye Chen said, "I'm sorry, senior. I used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to revive you."

"So right now, you are actually a clay puppet."

"A clay puppet?" Haotian Lanshen clenched his fist again, chuckled, and said, "It doesn't matter. Even a puppet's body is better than a wandering ghost!"

"My current strength is even greater than before!"

"However, having just been resurrected, I still need time to adapt to this body."

Ye Chen said, "Alright, senior, then you should get some rest."

Having successfully resurrected Haotian Lanshen and even made him stronger than before, Ye Chen was very satisfied.

With Haotian Lanshen protecting him, he had an extra trump card to save his life.

Fortunately, his cultivation had advanced to the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm, giving him ample spiritual energy and strong physical strength to withstand the drain brought by the Impure Earth Reincarnation Technique.

Otherwise, if it were before, he would have directly resurrected Haotian Lanshen, but his own blood and energy would have been drained, leaving him a cripple.

After sitting cross-legged and meditating for half a day, Ye Chen, with the help of numerous rare and precious herbs, recovered the energy he had just consumed.

At this time, he also arrived in Shura City.

This Shura City was built by the Golden Auction House to provide a place for geniuses from all sides to compete and duel.

Ye Chen handed over the Shura Token and successfully passed the gatekeepers' inspection, entering Shura City.

Throughout the city, there were numerous martial arts arenas, where warriors were dueling with each other, and spectators below were numerous, cheering continuously.

The staff at the gold auction house also set up various betting platforms for people to place bets.

It must be said that gold auction houses are quite shrewd in their business dealings.

After Ye Chen arrived, the once noisy and bustling Shura City gradually quieted down, until the atmosphere became deathly silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Ye Chen.

Thousands of eyes were focused on him, which surprised even Ye Chen.

How is this going?

He didn't deliberately conceal his aura. Could it be that his aura was so powerful that it attracted everyone's attention?

"It's him!"

"The man behind the pure and beautiful goddess!"

"It was he who seized the Chaos Beginning Bell!"

"I heard he even secretly learned the supreme Qian character technique of the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect, it's unbelievable!"

"This guy seems to have the aura of the Time God. What's going on? Could he be an incarnation of the Goddess of Time?"

……

After a moment of silence, a commotion arose in the city, and even the martial artists on the various arenas stopped fighting and scrutinized Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was quite surprised to hear the discussions. He hadn't expected that the world had forgotten him and that all living beings no longer remembered him as the Lord of Reincarnation. However, his current identity still shocked the heavens.

Of the ten great Dao artifacts of Yin Yang Heavenly Continent, the strongest, the Chaos Beginningless Bell, is in his hands.

Legend has it that she was chosen by the Black Queen Mother, a goddess of pure beauty and perfection, and also her woman.

He even possessed the supreme Qian character technique, all of which was truly astonishing.

Especially under the pure white polar day, Ye Chen, who wields the Qian character technique, exudes a vast and majestic aura of blue sky and firmament, making him even more eye-catching.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Ye Chen, the Daoist partner of the pure and beautiful goddess?"

An elderly man, who appeared to be an elder of the Gold Auction House, stepped forward with a kind face, cupped his hands in greeting, and politely inquired.

Although the Gold Auction House and the Nine Heavens Reincarnation Alliance are at odds, they haven't reached the point of open hostility. In their daily interactions, both sides still maintain a facade of politeness.

"Yes."

Ye Chen responded.

The elder asked, "Mr. Ye, what brings you here today?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Coming to Shura City is naturally for a martial arts contest."

He glanced around and saw many powerful and profound auras in the crowd, which made him somewhat wary and even feel a kind of inexplicable fear.

With Ye Chen's current Dao heart, he is almost fearless.

Where does fear come from?

All fear stems from the unknown!
In this world, the only thing that Ye Chen can not know is the world outside.

There must be martial artists from outside the world among the crowd!
They must also possess some mysterious laws, laws originating from outside this world!

The laws of those outer realms are unseen and unheard of on the other side of the starry sky, so they are unknown, and therefore inspire instinctive fear.

Ye Chen took out the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, gripped the hilt, and calmed his mind.

The elder smiled and said, "So, Mr. Ye wants to have a martial arts contest?"

He paused, then looked around at the martial artists and said, "I wonder if any genius would be willing to spar with Mr. Ye?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion arose in the crowd. The martial artists who dared to come to Shura City to compete all had a certain level of vision and strength.

Ye Chen is no ordinary person; he can wield the Chaos Bell and win the heart of the goddess of beauty. If an ordinary martial artist were to fight him, it would be tantamount to courting death.

"I'd like to see what Mr. Ye's skills are all about!"

A chilling voice rang out, and a man in black robes stepped out from the crowd. His face was as cold, ugly, and pale as a zombie, and his appearance was terrifying. He was wearing the attire of the Black Abyss Demon Palace, and was a disciple of the Black Abyss Demon Palace, one of the Black Queen Mother's men!

"Mr. Ye is capable of wielding the Chaos Bell and capturing the goddess of beauty; he must be no ordinary person."

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Ye should be a pillar god, right?"

The man in black robes stared at Ye Chen, as if trying to see through everything about him, and then declared that Ye Chen was a pillar god!
Ye Chen remained calm and smiled slightly, saying, "You have good eyes. I am indeed the incarnation of the Pillar God. My divine name is the Azure Heaven Emperor."

Ye Chen announced his name: not Lord of Reincarnation, but Heavenly Emperor!

He planned to use this name first to travel the world and avoid attracting too much hatred.

"The Azure Heaven Emperor? Never heard of him."

The man in black robes was somewhat surprised. He had never heard of this divine name before, but with his divine insight, he found it to be incredibly fitting.

Among the seventy-two pillar gods, there is indeed a Heavenly Emperor.

Ye Chen laughed and said, "My divine name was long lost, but now it can be considered a rebirth. You are also a pillar god, aren't you?"

His sharp eyes revealed that the black-robed man possessed a strange and terrifying aura, and was undoubtedly a pillar god, perhaps even possessing knowledge of many laws from beyond this world.
