Chapter 12566 Rules of Ten Thousand Sects

Chapter 12566 Rules of Ten Thousand Sects
In the past, the laws and powers from beyond the world were difficult to use on the other side of the starry sky. But now, with the birth of Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent and the great brightness of the world, the world's barriers have been greatly weakened, and many powers from beyond the world can be used in this world.

This is undoubtedly a significant threat to Ye Chen.

The man in black robes chuckled and said, "Mr. Ye, you have a keen eye. I am indeed a pillar god, an incarnation of the Corpse Abyss King among the Eight Underworld Gods."

"I was originally annihilated outside the world. It was the birth of Yin Yang Tianzhou that gave me a new life. Recently, I joined the Black Queen Mother's ranks."

"Speaking of which, the feuds and conflicts between the Black Queen Mother and Mr. Ye's camps are quite significant!"

"In fact, the Goddess of Beauty was the one that the Black Queen Mother had her eye on, but Mr. Ye took her away."

Ye Chen suddenly realized that this black-robed man, who looked like a zombie, was actually one of the Eight Underworld Gods, and the incarnation of the Corpse Abyss King!

"The grudges between our two camps are indeed considerable."

"But today, I'm here for the martial arts competition!"

Ye Chen held his sword horizontally across his chest. He was too lazy to argue about the grudges between the two sides. All he wanted now was a good, satisfying battle to warm up his muscles.

"Very good. No one in Shura City is my match. I only hope that Mr. Ye will not disappoint me!"

The Corpse Abyss King smiled coldly, immediately drew his longsword, and thrust it towards Ye Chen.

Corpse Demon's Deadly Sword!
Ye Chen recognized him at a glance: Corpse Abyss King was one of the Eight Nether Gods, and the Desolate Ghost Emperor among the Eight Nether Gods had long been refined by Ye Chen.

Therefore, Ye Chen knew all the secrets of the Eight Underworld Gods very well. In terms of seniority, he could even be considered the senior brother of the Corpse Abyss King!

He naturally recognized the weapon used by the Corpse Abyss King; it was the Corpse Demon's Deadly Sword, forged from the remains of billions of corpses. With a single swing, the corpse energy surged, and the air became foul. A black, filthy sword light pierced through at incredible speed.

The onlookers retreated in fear, never expecting that the Corpse Abyss King would attack without saying a word, directly wielding his sword to stab Ye Chen without even stepping onto the arena.

Fearing they would be caught in the crossfire, everyone stepped back, clearing a large open space.

"Nine Yang Divine Illumination Scripture, Nine Yang Burning the Heavens!"

Ye Chen reacted extremely quickly, clenching his fist suddenly. His body surged with intense solar energy, and nine suns burst forth from behind him, hovering in the sky, forming the magnificent spectacle of Nine Suns Illuminating the Sky.

This is the "Nine Yang Divine Illumination Scripture" that was passed down to him by the former Emperor Yan Tianlie. With Ye Chen's current cultivation level, he can already summon the vast spectacle of the Nine Yang Heavenly Illumination.

As soon as Nine Suns Illumination appeared, the intense sunlight shone down, and the Corpse Abyss King's body was baked by the scorching sun, immediately hissing and emitting black smoke. The baleful aura on his Corpse Demon Death Sword was also quickly evaporated.

This is using yang to overcome yin!

The Corpse Abyss King's expression changed instantly, and he took a step back, looking rather uncomfortable.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Chen immediately wielded the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword and attacked.

"Mountains of corpses and seas of blood!"

The Corpse Abyss King reacted swiftly, letting out a roar that unleashed a torrent of corpse demonic energy, causing an area within a ten-step radius of himself to decay into a world of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Ye Chen rushed in and stepped into the bloody mud.

What was once a solid bluestone pavement has now turned into a bloody mess, with several skeletal ghost claws reaching out from it.

Ye Chen lightly touched the ground with his toes and floated backward.

Once his breathing had calmed down, the Corpse Abyss King immediately charged forward with a fierce sword strike, his aura domineering and unparalleled.

Ye Chen raised his sword to parry, and the two were instantly engaged in fierce combat.

Under the protection of Amaterasu Nine Suns, Ye Chen was filled with the aura of Yang Gang, while the Corpse Abyss King was filled with fierce Corpse Fiend and deep resentment. Despite the restraining effect, he clashed with Ye Chen's twin swords head-on and did not lose ground.

The onlookers were dazzled and deeply moved.

"Is this a duel between pillar-level geniuses?"

"The incarnation of the Pillar God, although not as terrifying as the peak Heavenly Pillar Realm, is still not something ordinary people can compare to."

"It seems that the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects is the stage for these powerful individuals!"

……

Hearing the murmurs around him, Ye Chen remained calm and unmoved, focusing all his attention on the Corpse Abyss King.

The intense battle gave him a feeling of exhilaration, and his muscles, which hadn't been used for many days, were now completely relaxed.

Meanwhile, the elders of the gold auction house had already opened betting odds, attracting a large number of spectators to place bets.

The gold auction house is a shrewd businessperson. This betting odds are not simply about betting on who wins or loses, but also about how many moves it will take for the two sides to decide the outcome, and what the life-or-death result will be.

The more stringent the conditions, the higher the odds.

While Ye Chen was engaged in fierce combat with the Corpse Abyss King, he noticed the betting odds and, on a whim, asked an elder of the Golden Auction House:
"I bet I can sever the Corpse Abyss King's arm within three moves. What are the odds?"

As the one who wields the divine power of the Heavenly Heart, his Dao heart is unwavering, and even in the midst of such a fierce battle, he can still speak.

The Corpse Abyss King was stunned, not expecting Ye Chen to be able to talk while fighting him. He was immediately angered and said:
"Mr. Ye, you really don't take me seriously. You can even talk while talking, and you even said you'd cut off my arm in three moves?"

He intensified his attack, forcing Ye Chen to retreat step by step.

Having been distracted and speaking, Ye Chen had become somewhat overconfident and immediately found himself at a disadvantage.

The elder of the gold auction house outside was also stunned when he heard this, but since Ye Chen asked, he pondered for a moment and then replied, "Ten times the odds, no, twenty times!"

Ye Chen laughed and said, "Alright, I'll bet I can cut off the Corpse Abyss King's arm within three moves!"

After saying that, Ye Chen held his sword in his right hand and continued to fight with the Corpse Abyss King. With a wave of his left hand, he threw all the rare and precious materials, Dao crystal ores, and all the black spirit essence he had stored as stakes next to the elder of the Golden Auction House.

The elder was taken aback when he saw the mountain of bets.

The Corpse Abyss King was enraged, feeling underestimated. He could no longer maintain his initial composure and roared, "How dare you kill me?"

In his rage, the Corpse Abyss King's corpse energy surged violently, forming wisps of black mist and ghostly energy that churned into ferocious demons with bared fangs and claws. Accompanied by his longsword, he slashed down at Ye Chen.

"The bell of beginningless time tolls, chaos returns!"

Ye Chen chanted, and suddenly summoned the Chaos Beginning Bell. The ancient bronze bell appeared, and with a clang, the powerful sound of the bell slammed into the Corpse Abyss King.

"Well!"

Upon hearing the bell, the Corpse Abyss King instantly felt the world plunge into darkness and chaos, and his entire body was also shrouded in chaos.

Before the creation of heaven and earth, there was only darkness and chaos.

When the bell of primordial chaos tolls, it can teach all things in heaven and earth to return to their ancestral origin, and can even allow heaven and earth themselves to return to the primordial state of chaos.

In his rage, the Corpse Abyss King neglected his defenses and was struck by the sound of the bell, plunging his entire world into darkness and chaos.

He knew something was wrong and hurriedly retreated, but it was too late.

Ye Chen gripped the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword with his left hand, pulled hard, and cut his palm. Blood spurted out, and the scalding blood dispelled all the black mist covering the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword.

The Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword, having dispelled the black mist, was incredibly sharp. With a single slash, Ye Chen severed off the Corpse Abyss King's left arm.

The Corpse Abyss King cried out, his face contorted in agony.

After Ye Chen severed one of his arms, he immediately retrieved the Chaos Beginning Bell.

He did want to continue using it, but the price of using such a divine artifact as the Chaos Beginning Bell was too high. It would cause all things in heaven and earth to revert to their original state, and he himself might also revert to his original state.

At this moment, some ape-like downy hairs had sprouted on the back of Ye Chen's hand, indicating that he had suffered a backlash from the primordial laws.

If the backlash is more severe, he will regress to a monkey, or even become nothingness!

After Ye Chen retrieved the Chaos Beginning Bell, the Corpse Abyss King also recovered. He opened his eyes and was stunned to see his severed arm.

Known as the King of the Corpse Abyss, he is actually a bizarre being formed from countless corpses. He is a zombie himself, the King of Corpses, and he feels no pain.

However, Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword was too sharp. While severing his arm, it also damaged his Dao Source, causing him to feel a sharp pain.

Ye Chen severed his arm but not his head, not out of mercy, but because severing his arm or head was the same to the Corpse Abyss King. As long as the Great Dao's origin remained intact, he could be resurrected at any time.

"Accepted."

Ye Chen sheathed his sword and stepped back, giving the Corpse Abyss King a slight smile.

The Corpse Abyss King's face twitched as he said, "That doesn't count. You're only relying on your powerful magic weapons and sharp armor. If we're talking about true martial arts prowess, you might not be my match!"

He lost, but he was very unwilling to accept it!
Ye Chen is using external aids, not relying on his own abilities!
Ye Chen smiled and said, "The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can use tools."

"If I have a powerful weapon and I don't use it, am I supposed to fight you hand-to-hand?"

King Corpse Abyss was filled with rage, but he could not refute it. In the end, he snorted and turned away with a hint of resentment.

Clearly, he lost, but he was not convinced of his defeat and did not accept it wholeheartedly.

The martial artists watching were stunned.

Although Ye Chen was indeed powerful because of his magical weapons, he still won in the end.

Those magical weapons are also part of one's strength!

The Chaos Bell and the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword are beyond the control of ordinary people!
This was the first time everyone had witnessed the power of the Chaos Beginning Bell; it could actually trap people in a state of pitch-black chaos from which they could not escape.

Of course, this was also Ye Chen's luck.

If the Corpse Abyss King is well-prepared, his Chaos Beginning Bell will not be able to easily impact the opponent.

However, Ye Chen won in the end.

Ye Chen looked at the elder of the gold auction house, whose face was ashen.

“Elder, with odds of twenty times, my bet is worth at least three million Dao Crystals. You have to pay me sixty million Dao Crystals.”

Ye Chen smiled.

He did it; he severed the Corpse Abyss King's arm within three moves.

The elder trembled and stammered, "Mr. Ye is joking. I forgot to tell you that the betting limit is 100,000 Dao Crystals. Anything exceeding that doesn't count."

"Therefore, I... I should compensate you with two million Dao Crystals."

Hearing the elder's explanation, Ye Chen didn't pursue the matter further and said with a smile, "Fine, two million it is."

He was well aware that winning 60 million Dao Crystals at the Gold Auction House was unrealistic; he would be content with earning 2 million.

The elder wiped his sweat and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Ye."

Ye Chen nodded slightly and withdrew his bet. The elder had been busy for a while and had raised two million Dao Crystals, which he then gave to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen put it away, jumped onto a fighting platform, gripped his sword at an angle, and looked at the martial artists in the city, saying:

"Anyone who wants to spar with me, I can offer some pointers."

If it were a life-or-death duel, probably no one would dare to step onto the stage. Therefore, Ye Chen relaxed the conditions, only saying that it was a guidance and exchange of skills. He would use his status as a superior to instruct ordinary martial artists in their kung fu.

He also needs to continue fighting against others and honing his skills.

If it were just a regular sparring match, quite a few martial artists would line up and go up on stage to compete with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen then sparred with many martial artists in Shura City to hone his skills.

Seven days later, his cultivation improved slightly, reaching the middle stage of the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm.

There are only three days left until the start of the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects.

The warriors in Shura City gradually withdrew, heading ahead to Yin Yang Heavenly Continent to prepare for the tournament.

Ye Chen also left Shura City and returned to Jiucang Academy.

As soon as he returned, Ren Feifan found him, handed him a white bone throwing knife, and said:
"Ye Chen, this bone throwing knife is for you; it's a gift from your daughter."

Ye Chen was taken aback and asked, "My daughter?"

Ren Feifan said, "Yes, don't you have a daughter named Ye Xiyue?"

"She came a couple of days ago, but you were still in Shura City and didn't see her."

"After leaving behind this bone throwing knife, she hurriedly departed."

"She said this throwing knife can protect you. She also said that she misses you very much. If you have time, remember to visit her at the Fox Tomb in Qingqiu."

As he spoke, he shoved the bone throwing knife into Ye Chen's hand.

Ye Chen held the throwing knife and felt a warm, spiritual energy. He was stunned. It turned out that Xi Yue had come two days ago, but he wasn't there at the time.

Thinking about this, Ye Chen felt a little heartbroken.

"Don't overthink it. After the Ten Thousand Sects Conference ends, you can visit them anytime you want."

Ren Feifan comforted him.

Ye Chen composed himself, solemnly put away the bone throwing knife, gave a soft "hmm," and then asked Ren Feifan:
"Senior Ren, did Xiyue say whether she will participate in the Myriad Sects Conference?"

Ye Chen wanted her to participate; it was an opportunity for her to gain experience.

However, given Feng Qingxue's temperament, she might not allow her to participate in the competition.

Ren Feifan said, "She wanted to participate, but her mother wouldn't allow it, so I guess she won't be able to participate."

Ye Chen said, "What a pity..."

He had wanted to fight alongside Xiyue, but it seems that the chance is gone.

Xi Yue specially gave him a white bone throwing knife. He sensed the aura of the throwing knife and felt that it was connected to Xi Yue by blood.

Could this throwing knife have been forged by Xi Yue using her own bones?
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat at the thought.

Ren Feifan said, "Your daughter gave you the White Bone Flying Knife. She said it can scare away demons and ferocious beasts. Make good use of it."

"The Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects will be held in three days. We should set off tomorrow."

"Those who wish to participate in the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects must arrive at 'Yang Peak' two days in advance. It is a territory of the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect, opposite to 'Yin Domain'."

"And the venue for the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects is none other than the Yin Domain!"

"All participants must first absorb and accumulate yang energy in the 'Yang Peak' before entering the 'Yin Domain' to compete."

"The Yin Realm is filled with Yin energy. If there is not enough Yang energy to support it, one will immediately suffer a backlash from the Yin energy."

He briefly explained the rules of the Ten Thousand Sects Conference to Ye Chen: he needed to arrive at Yang Peak two days in advance and absorb Yang energy to resist the evil energy of the Yin Domain.

Ye Chen nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked with a smile, "Senior Ren, with the conference approaching, what trump cards will you give me for self-defense?"

The Grand Gathering of Ten Thousand Sects is a gathering of geniuses. The more trump cards Ye Chen has, the greater his chance of victory.

Ren Feifan shook his head and said, "The trump card is useless. Yangfeng and Yinyu form the earth veins of the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect, which have extremely strong Yin-Yang balancing power."

"Upon entering Yang Peak and Yin Domain, all the heaven-defying forces will be neutralized by the earth veins, achieving a state of equilibrium."

"Under the coordination of the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect, the power that all participants can unleash will not exceed the Life Source Realm."

"Even if there really is some heaven-defying method that can break through the limitations of the Yin-Yang Earth Vein, there are still many elders of the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect watching over it."

"If they discover that you have used power beyond the limits, they will expel you immediately!"

As he finished speaking, Ren Feifan's tone became serious.

The Yin-Yang Divine Path Sect held the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects to allow various sects in the heavens to fight each other, thereby observing and learning the Dao, and ultimately collecting the hatred and resentment of killing to revive the Abyss.

However, the Yin-Yang Divine Path Sect revived the Abyss for the sake of world balance, not for the purpose of destroying the world.

Power exceeding the Life Source Realm is capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, which is why the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect restricts and prohibits it.
