Chapter 12591 The Real Cheating!

Chapter 12591 The Real Cheating!
In fact, the Earth Ancestor did not even have an independent consciousness; he was simply the earth itself.

Wherever there is earth, there exists the Earth Ancestor.

He is the "root" of all things, giving birth to all things.

Immortal Mirror Flow is the daughter of the earth, known as the Goddess Houtu, and can also be considered the wife of the earth.

However, Immortal Mirror Flow is not the origin of the earth; the origin is the earth itself.

However, as the Goddess Houtu, Immortal Venerable Jingliu can also use the power of the Earth God.

A mysterious aura quietly enveloped Ye Chen; it was an aura of blessing.

"Immortal Mirror Flow is blessing me!"

Ye Chen was shaken, feeling that Immortal Venerable Jingliu was blessing him.

"No, no, it's the long night rain!"

"Is that girl praying for me?"

Upon closer inspection, Ye Chen discovered that the blessing actually originated from Chang Yeyu.

According to the rules of the finals, contestants are not allowed to receive blessings from outside sources.

But at this moment, the blessing of the long night rain was buried deep underground, becoming one with the earth, and no one could see any clues about it.

Ye Chen sensed the earth's essence and soon came into contact with the blessing of the long night rain.

That blessing has merged with the earth; the power of the blessing itself is not great, like a gentle stream.

But behind the blessing lies the power of the earth, which is vast and magnificent, as boundless as the ocean.

Ye Chen seized upon this blessing and quickly used it to nourish himself.

He felt as if he had drunk a sweet milk, the milk of Mother Earth, as if the Immortal Venerable Jingliu, the Goddess Houtu, had personally nourished Ye Chen.

Wait, are Chang Yeyu and Jingliu Immortal Venerable the same person?
A strange thought popped into Ye Chen's mind. He couldn't quite tell who was who between Chang Yeyu and Jingliu Immortal Venerable, and who was blessing him and nurturing him.

His thoughts were a bit confused, but one thing was certain.

The energy he had just exhausted was rapidly returning, and he was like a parched land receiving sweet rain.

Half an hour later, something incredible happened.

Ye Chen's aura has been fully restored, and he has even broken through in cultivation, advancing to the middle stage of the sixth level of the Divine Illumination Realm.

As the focus of the entire event, countless eyes were fixed on Ye Chen.

When they saw Ye Chen fully recovered, and even break through in cultivation, countless exclamations of shock followed.

"What...what's going on?"

"This Emperor Ye, in just half an hour, has actually fully recovered?"

"how did you do that?"

……

Everyone found it unbelievable. The battle between Ye Chen and Qitianjun had been witnessed by all, and Ye Chen had expended a great deal of energy.

Despite such a huge expenditure of energy, Ye Chen actually recovered completely within half an hour.

This is truly astonishing; even Gu Jiuge hasn't recovered yet.

Everyone vaguely sensed that Ye Chen had absorbed the power of the earth!

On the summit of Yangfeng, there were vast stretches of forest that had completely withered.

It seems that Ye Chen has completely drained the energy essence of those vast forests and the earth.

"How is this going?"

"Did this guy absorb the essence of the earth's veins?"

Even the spirits of the underworld found this scene utterly unbelievable.

Ancestor Tianwen was also stunned and said, "This...this is impossible. The Yin-Yang Earth Vein is extremely solid. Even Jiuge cannot absorb its essence. How did Emperor Ye manage to do it?"

Gu Jiuge, who was adjusting her breathing to the side, turned pale and said, "Master, I... I feel that I am no match for Emperor Ye."

Seeing Ye Chen's radiant appearance, he felt a sense of fear.

He was a genius, but only like a star, while Ye Chen was an incomparably brilliant sun!
Having just fought Qitianjun and expended so much energy, it's incredible that Ye Chen was able to recover so quickly.

Gu Jiuge was stunned. He felt there was no point in fighting anymore; he was no match for Ye Chen at all.

Tianwen Ancestor said in a deep voice, "Don't panic, Jiuge!"

"If your Dao heart collapses, then that will be troublesome."

Gu Jiuge felt bitter and said, "Master, why don't we just use force to seize the Nine Yang True Roc?"

What the Yin Yang Divine Path Sect wants is the Nine Yang True Roc, that supremely Yang divine bird, which can suppress the evil energy of the Yin God and can save lives when necessary.

Even the Yin God himself needs this Nine Yang True Roc, otherwise, if he were to consume too much darkness in his new life, his mind would collapse and go mad. He would need something of supreme Yang to help suppress it and achieve balance.

Gu Jiuge felt that she couldn't beat Ye Chen, so she wanted to have Ancestor Tianwen take it by force.

The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor said, "The Nine Heavens Reincarnation Alliance is full of powerful figures; how can we so easily resort to force?"

The Yin God said solemnly, "The sins of open hatred and slaughter are too great for me to bear."

"Besides, I have made a contract with Emperor Ye, so I naturally cannot break the agreement."

If the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect were to directly wage war against the Nine Heavens Reincarnation Alliance, the dark sins born from the hatred and slaughter between the two sides would be completely indigestible for the Yin God's newly formed body.

If he were to consume too much darkness and sin, and suffer a mental breakdown and lose control, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Moreover, he is, after all, the supreme being, and how could he easily break the promises he made and the contracts he established?

You can use some tricks, but it's absolutely unacceptable to tear off the mask of civility and start a war.

"Jiuge, just go into battle. The blessings that I and Ancestor Tianwen have given you are enough for you to win."

"The Yin spirit spoke calmly."

Gu Jiuge had no choice but to grunt in agreement and continue.

The fifth round of the competition has begun, and now only Ye Chen, Gu Jiuge, and Ji Siqing remain. Before the competition begins, the usual procedure of drawing lots will be followed.

Master Yu Ding said:

"The draw will now begin. The person who draws number one will receive a bye. Number two and number three will compete, with the loser becoming third place. The winner will then face number one in a final battle to determine the ultimate champion!"

After hearing the rules, Ye Chen and the other two drew lots.

The result of the draw was that Gu Jiuge drew number one, and he got a bye and didn't have to play.

Ye Chen will face off against Ji Siqing, and the winner will then go on to fight Gu Jiuge for the final championship.

The result of this lottery was naturally arranged by the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect.

With this arrangement, Gu Jiuge wouldn't have to fight Ye Chen immediately, and would have an extra half hour to rest.

Ye Chen is currently at full strength, and if he were to fight Gu Jiuge directly, he would have a very high chance of winning.

But if Gu Jiuge rests for an extra half hour, the situation becomes unpredictable. Moreover, he is the last hope of the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect, and Ye Chen estimates that Gu Jiuge must have many trump cards up his sleeve.

"I surrender."

In the fifth round of the competition, Ye Chen and Ji Siqing faced off. Since they were on the same side, it was impossible for them to fight.

Ji Siqing decisively conceded defeat, sending Ye Chen into the final battle, while she settled for third place.

Ji Siqing felt that she had hit the jackpot and was extremely lucky to get third place.

After all, this Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects is a gathering of geniuses, and with her current strength, it would be very difficult for her to get into the top three.

The fifth round of the competition has ended, and in just half an hour, the final battle for the championship will begin!

The morning had turned into the afternoon, and the atmosphere was lively. The gold auction house had opened betting odds, attracting countless spectators to place their bets.

Who will be the ultimate champion: Ye Chen or Gu Jiuge?

Ye Chen still has half an hour to rest, so he doesn't need to rest anymore; he's in top form right now.

The blessing from the earth felt like drinking the sweet milk of Mother Earth; all his losses were restored, and he even broke through in cultivation, leaving him in excellent condition.

Ye Chen looked towards the headquarters of the Tianjing Ancient Palace and saw Immortal Venerable Jingliu and Chang Yeyu sitting calmly. The two women looked as if it were none of their business, as if Ye Chen's blessing from the earth was his own luck and not the help of the two women.

"They're helping me, why?"

For a moment, Ye Chen couldn't understand why Chang Yeyu and Immortal Venerable Jingliu wanted to help him.

Moreover, the two women were very clever; they knew how to circumvent the rules of the Ten Thousand Sects Conference and did not reveal anything unusual.

Shaking his head, Ye Chen stopped thinking about it. The most important thing now was the championship battle.

Half an hour passed, and Gu Jiuge had rested for half an hour. Her energy and spirit had been further restored, and she was now comparable to Ye Chen. Ye Chen could not gain any advantage.

The two stepped onto the ring.

"Emperor Ye, I never imagined that the final championship battle would be between you and me."

Gu Jiuge smiled slightly, appearing once again with an elegant demeanor, as if his Dao heart had calmed down.

"Come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Ye Chen drew the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, its tip pointing at Gu Jiuge. Gu Jiuge was the disciple of the Heavenly Question Ancestor and the last hope of the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect. Ye Chen would not underestimate her.

Chief Referee, Master Yu Ding, hovered in the sky beside the arena and said:

"Before the championship final begins, I must remind you of something."

"Both of you can unleash destructive power that surpasses the Life Source Realm."

"Generally speaking, this power will be regulated by the earth's veins and suppressed back to the range of the Life Source Realm."

"But if the power is too great, the earth's veins cannot suppress it."

"For example, Emperor Ye, in the preliminary rounds, the aura of the goddess you summoned was so powerful that even the earth's veins could hardly regulate it."

"Before the Ten Thousand Sects Conference began, the Elder Council had already set up an array on the earth's veins to regulate the power. Even though Lord Yin Shen has been resurrected, this regulation cannot be changed before the conference ends."

The Yin-Yang Divine Path Sect imposed such restrictions mainly because they feared that the collected dark energy would be too powerful, making the resurrected Abyss difficult to control.

Now, the Yin God of the Abyss has been resurrected, and he seems to be completely out of control, rendering the restrictions of the ley lines meaningless.

However, the restrictive formation has already been set up and cannot be changed before the end of the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects.

"If the earth's veins are breached too many times, the balance of Yin and Yang will be disrupted, which will bring about unforeseen disasters!"

"Therefore, the two of you must not use too much power."

"If the limitations of the earth's veins are broken, and the balance of Yin and Yang is shaken, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"You are to decide for yourselves. If anyone uses their power to break through the earth's ley lines, they will be immediately defeated, understand?"

As he spoke, Jade Cauldron True Man glanced sideways and landed on the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword in Ye Chen's hand.

He could tell that this sword possessed the power to break through the limitations of the earth's veins!
There are also some hidden cards in Ye Chen's possession that might have the potential to break through limits.

"Are you targeting me?"

Ye Chen chuckled. If he wasn't allowed to break through the earth's vein restrictions, many of his methods would be difficult to use.

Master Yu Ding said solemnly, "Emperor Ye, this is not directed at you. Both sides in this competition are treated equally!"

Ye Chen remained indifferent and asked again, "Then what if I unleash power above the Life Source Realm, but without triggering the earth's veins? What then?"

Master Yu Ding thought for a moment and said, "If you haven't disturbed the earth's veins and caused an imbalance of Yin and Yang, then it's up to you."

Hearing this, Ye Chen had many plans forming in his mind, and he smiled and said, "That's good."

After that, Ye Chen didn't say anything more, but only looked at Gu Jiuge.

"Emperor Ye, I am grateful for your guidance!"

Gu Jiuge's gaze sharpened, and without further ado, he took the initiative to strike. With a stomp of his foot, a wisp of dark blue water vapor immediately spread from beneath his feet, quickly covering the entire arena.

"All waters converge, the key to success lies in the character 'Kan'!"

Gu Jiuge gave a clear shout, and a vast expanse of deep blue water, as boundless as the sea, instantly covered the arena.

This is the Kan character formula, one of the Yin-Yang Eight Character Formulas!

Kan represents water, and the Kan principle is the highest form of water magic!
To outsiders, the Yin-Yang Eight Character Formula is incredibly mysterious, but within the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect, it is extremely important, and only a select few genius disciples are able to cultivate it.

Gu Jiuge is a disciple of the Heavenly Question Ancestor, so he is naturally qualified to cultivate the Yin-Yang Eight Characters Technique.

Of those eight characters, the one he mastered was "Kan" (坎).
slam-la-

After the Kan character technique was unleashed, the azure water flowed like a sea, covering the arena. The Kan water surged and roared, and then, accompanied by a series of deep roars, more than a dozen huge water beings emerged from the bottom of the water.

These water beings, enormous in size, wielded dark blue water spears and roared as they hurled them fiercely at Ye Chen.

One after another, pure water birds flew out of the dam, pushing the waves and creating wave after wave, rushing wildly towards Ye Chen.

At this moment, the entire arena was covered by the Kan River, turning it into a lake. Ye Chen walked on the water, feeling the coolness under his feet and a chilling aura emanating from his body.

Gu Jiuge's Kan character technique, which evolved into Kan water, is filled with the original cold and yin aura.

These chilling auras, originating from the fundamental laws, penetrated directly into the human body, leaving Ye Chen unable to stop them.

In an instant, he was plunged into a chilling aura, and as water spears and waves crashed toward him, he was unable to resist them.

He tried to wield the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword to defend himself, but his body was chilled to the bone, and he couldn't even muster the strength to swing the sword.

The chilling and yin-like laws of this Kan character technique are terrifyingly powerful!
Ye Chen did not underestimate his opponent, but the cold and cunning nature of Gu Jiuge's Kan word technique completely exceeded his expectations.

"Nine Yang Divine Illumination, break!"

In the midst of the crisis, Ye Chen roared, unleashing the power of the Nine Yang Divine Illumination Scripture. Nine suns burst forth, evaporating all the water spears and waves that were attacking him.

But his own nine suns were quickly extinguished completely under the cover of the water.

Moreover, although he managed to break through Gu Jiuge's attack in his haste, he had already lost the initiative.

Seizing the opportunity, Gu Jiuge immediately swung her sword, sweeping across the vast expanse of water, and launched a deadly attack.

As Ye Chen saw Gu Jiuge's sword coming at him, which contained extremely yin energy, a thought suddenly struck him. He met the attack head-on, using his shoulder to meet Gu Jiuge's sword.

laugh!
Without any suspense, Gu Jiuge's sword, imbued with the chilling energy of the Kan River, pierced precisely through Ye Chen's shoulder.

Ye Chen gripped the sword tightly, the excruciating pain in his shoulder and the chilling aura causing his features to contort slightly.

The audience was in an uproar. No one expected that Ye Chen would not only not dodge, but would actually meet Gu Jiuge's sword head-on. Wasn't that courting death?

In a duel between geniuses like Ye Chen and Gu Jiuge, if one of them is seriously injured, then there's no need to continue fighting; the outcome can be determined immediately.

Gu Jiuge was also taken aback, looking at Ye Chen with confusion.

Ye Chen laughed and said, "You received the blessing of the Yin God, so that's why this Kan character technique is so powerful, right?"

Gu Jiuge's Kan character technique was simply too powerful. The cold aura contained in the Kan water was so strong that even Ye Chen could not resist it.

Under the chilling cold, Ye Chen didn't even have the strength to lift his sword.

The nine suns that burst forth with all their might were instantly annihilated.

Although the power Gu Jiuge unleashed did not exceed the scope of the Life Source Realm, her application of the Great Dao, the word Kan, and the word Shui had already surpassed the scope of ordinary people.

This is not his power, but the power of the Yin spirit!

It must have been the Yin spirit of the abyss who bestowed upon him a blessing, which is why his magic carries an aura of extreme Yin and cold.

This is the aura of the very origin of laws, extremely powerful, even Ye Chen couldn't withstand it.

Gu Jiuge's expression darkened slightly after Ye Chen pointed out her mistake.

Indeed, he received the blessing of the underworld gods.

Otherwise, with his cultivation level, the Kan character technique could not possibly have such power, actually suppressing Ye Chen's body with cold energy, leaving him without even the strength to lift his sword.

"Don't slander people out of thin air. This is all the cultivation I've gained through hard work."

After a brief moment of guilt, Gu Jiuge shook her head and spoke calmly.

He naturally couldn't admit that this was a blessing from the underworld gods.

The blessings of the Yin spirits are powerful and mysterious, and outsiders could never possibly discover them.

Although winning through the blessing of the Yin God was an unfair victory, and Gu Jiuge felt that the Great Dao was in jeopardy, she had no choice but to do so in order to win the championship and seize the Nine Yang True Roc.

It has always been about saving the common people!
He tried to pull the longsword back with all his might, but suddenly found that he couldn't muster any strength.

His body even stiffened, unable to move, as if he had been trapped in a time-stop spell!
"Ha ha……"

Ye Chen laughed, and strands of the laws of time flowed from his body, along with totems of the Great Dao of Time such as sundials, star charts, gnomons, and armillary spheres, which rose and fell and flickered, radiating rosy light.

"Thank you very much, Gu Jiuge."

"The Yin energy of the Yin God can be used to neutralize the Great Calamity of Light!"

“If I were to exercise my divine authority again, I would not be afraid of suffering the great calamity of light.”

Ye Chen's greatest divine authority at present, the divine authority of time, has been cleared of its veil of obscurity and is now usable.

However, using the divine power of time might bring about a great calamity of light, which is extremely dangerous, and Ye Chen must be cautious.

However, the Yin energy brought by Gu Jiuge was just right to harmonize the light for Ye Chen!

In other words, under the balance of Yin and Yang, he can use divine authority!

At this moment, the power of the Time God's authority erupted, and Ye Chen unleashed a time-stopping domain, causing Gu Jiuge's body to immediately stiffen and become unable to move.

Along with the arena, all the water in the pool stopped flowing, and the water droplets splashing in mid-air also froze.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

"Is this... the power of the Time God?"

"The Yin God gave Gu Jiuge a blessing, which ironically helped Emperor Ye!"

"This Emperor Ye is truly formidable. He possesses the legacy of the Sword Emperor, the legacy of the God of the Universe, and it seems that even the legacy of the Heavenly Ancestor is in his hands. It's unbelievable!"

……

Many viewers expressed their admiration. After hearing Ye Chen's words, they realized that Gu Jiuge had clearly borrowed the blessing of the Yin God, which was why she was so powerful.
