Chapter 12607 Go Beyond the World?

Chapter 12607 Go Beyond the World?
Ye Chen was quite worried about Xi Yue, who was still not fully recovered from her illness.

We're setting off for Yin Yang Tian Zhou tomorrow. If we have the chance, Ye Chen would also like to visit the Fox Tomb of Qing Qiu.

The next day, Ye Chen followed Li Yanluo and set off for the Erosion Realm Sword Sect.

Zhou Buyi looked dejected and very disappointed. He could only make an agreement with Ye Chen that Ye Chen would go to the Sun and Moon Dao Court again in half a month to resolve the matter of the Calamity Fire Outbreak.

However, Zhou Buyi was very worried about whether the Sun and Moon Dao Court could survive for the next half month.

After a day's journey aboard Li Yanluo's flying boat, Ye Chen successfully arrived at Yin Yang Heavenly Continent.

He deduced the secrets of heaven and discovered that Xiao Xingyun's aura had turned from danger to safety, clearly indicating that the Dao Ancestor Wushi had intervened and saved him.

And things are peaceful over in Xiyue as well.

Ye Chen felt a little relieved, but as soon as he stepped onto Yin Yang Heavenly Continent, he felt countless gazes and divine senses spying on him.

Clearly, he's being watched!
Although Ye Chen tried his best to conceal his secrets, ordinary people could not discover him.

However, his grudges and conflicts with the Lu Dao Sect ran too deep. People from the Lu Dao Sect, driven by their overwhelming hatred, were still able to pinpoint Ye Chen's presence in the dark.

"The Slaughtering Dao Sect has discovered me."

Ye Chen said in a deep voice.

Li Yanluo said, "It's alright, Emperor Ye, don't worry. With me by your side, the Lu Dao Sect won't dare to act recklessly."

After saying that, Li Yanluo issued a light blue talisman, announcing to the heavens that Ye Chen was a distinguished guest of the Erosion Realm Sword Sect, and anyone who dared to harm Ye Chen would be an enemy of the Erosion Realm Sword Sect!
"Emperor Ye, let's go."

Then, Li Yanluo waved her hand and led Ye Chen directly to the Erosion Realm Sword Sect.

Ye Chen followed behind her and soon arrived at the territory of the Erosion Sword Sect.

The Erosion Sword Sect is a mobile fortress rooted in a spatial rift. The entrance to the sect looks like a black sword mark that tears the sky apart!

The black sword mark appeared before Ye Chen's eyes, exuding a mysterious aura of time and space.

The Erosion Sword Sect is located in the Kan trigram, which represents water and signifies the erosion of all things.

The entire mountain gate space where the Erosion Realm Sword Sect is located was eroded by the Kan Water. The Kan Water's chilling aura and the chaotic energy of spacetime are deadly to ordinary martial artists.

Therefore, those who can survive in the Erosion Sword Sect are all top-tier experts.

The sect doesn't have many members, only a little over a thousand, but even the weakest among them is at the Abyss Realm!

Ye Chen's cultivation at the seventh level of the Divine Illumination Realm was nothing special in the Erosion Sword Sect.

However, his special divine status made Li Yanluo respect him immensely.

"Emperor Ye, we've arrived. Let's go inside."

Li Yanluo looked at the black sword mark entrance ahead and said to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded and immediately followed Li Yanluo towards the entrance.

But at that moment, a cold wind suddenly swept across the land, and wisps of black mist abruptly appeared in the void, with the faint chirping of insects coming from within the mist.

The sound was soft and delicate, yet it possessed a power that pierced the heart!

Upon closer inspection, those wisps of black mist are actually formed by millions of tiny insects!
In an instant, countless insects, densely packed and blotting out the sky, swarmed towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's eyes turned cold as he drew the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword and swung it like splashing ink, slicing away the attacking insects.

"This is……"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yanluo hurriedly used the Kan character technique to summon a large water curtain to protect Ye Chen and isolate him from the insects' attack.

The insects buzzed and retreated.

The void cracked open, and a gaunt figure dressed in a gray robe slowly emerged. Thousands of insects swarmed around him, gathering into wisps of mist that rose and fell uncertainly.

Ye Chen was startled when he saw the gaunt figure.

It was an old man with a sinister face. He had never seen him before, but now, at first glance, he felt a sense of familiarity.

It's the Pillar God!
Eight Underworld Gods!
One of the Eight Underworld Gods!

"The Witch King!"

Ye Chen blurted it out almost without thinking.

Of the eight Netherworld Gods, he has already met seven: the Desolate Ghost Netherworld Emperor, the Ice Queen, the Crimson King, the Rakshasa, the Corpse Abyss King, the Asura Prison Lord, and the Ghost Blade Princess. There is only one he has not yet met.

Looking at the withered old man before him, he was struck by a divine inspiration and immediately knew that the other party was the last god of the underworld, who used his body as a nest for Gu worms and was skilled in witchcraft and poisonous insect techniques.

His name is: The Witch King!

"You know me? Hmm, I sense a familiar aura emanating from you as well."

"Emperor Ye, could it be that you've taken control of some of the powers of the Underworld Gods?"

The Witch King stared at Ye Chen, trying to see through Ye Chen's karma, but found it shrouded in mystery and completely incomprehensible.

But subconsciously, he still felt something strange.

Ye Chen seems to wield some authority over the gods of the underworld!
Li Yanluo recognized the Witchcraft Evil King and said in a deep voice:

"Witchcraft King, what are you doing here at my World-Eroding Sword Sect? You are not welcome here!"

Upon hearing this, the Witch King chuckled and said, "Little girl, there's no need to be so agitated."

"I have no intention of being an enemy of your Erosion Sword Sect. I only want to kill Emperor Ye."

"Hehe, Master Tingyou put a huge reward on his head."

The eight Underworld Gods once perished, but later gradually revived. However, the revived Underworld Gods were not as strong as they were at their peak and could hardly survive independently.

Like the Lord of the Asura Prison, who defected to the Temple of the End.

The Corpse Abyss King has pledged allegiance to the Black Queen Mother.

Although the Witchcraft King has not yet pledged allegiance to anyone, he also needs a large amount of resources to restore his own strength.

The bounty offered by the Ancestor of Listening to the Netherworld was undoubtedly a huge attraction for him!

Moreover, Ye Chen's body is also very alluring!
Li Yanluo coldly retorted, "This is the territory of my Erosion Realm Sword Sect. How dare you act recklessly?"

The Witch King laughed, "We haven't even entered yet, have we? I won't break the rules."

At this moment, Ye Chen and Li Yanluo were both outside the entrance of the Erosion Realm Sword Sect, and had not yet actually entered.

Therefore, strictly speaking, this is not the territory of the Erosion Sword Sect.

Li Yanluo gritted her teeth and looked towards the mountain gate, which was hidden behind the entrance marked by the black sword mark. Unless there was a major change, the people from the Erosion Sword Sect would not come out.

"Get out of my way, I will only kill Emperor Ye."

The Witch King licked his lips, and with a surge of spiritual energy, countless insects opened their sharp teeth, poised to strike.

"I have issued a decree that my Erosion Realm Sword Sect will protect Emperor Ye. If you dare to act recklessly, you will be making an enemy of my Erosion Realm Sword Sect!"

Li Yanluo said sternly.

As she spoke, she released wisps of pale blue water vapor from her body, forming layers of protection to safeguard herself and Ye Chen.

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!"

"The Myriad Poisons Devouring Heart Formation, devour it!"

The Witchcraft Evil King sneered and suddenly attacked. Tens of millions of Gu worms surged out like a black tide, their bodies exuding corrosive acid, even corroding the space itself, causing it to hiss and crackle. They fiercely rushed towards Ye Chen, intending to completely engulf him.

Ye Chen's face darkened, and he was about to make a move to defend himself, but Li Yanluo beside him had already summoned a small cup.

The cup is blue, crystal clear like a gemstone, and contains half a cup of seawater, from which wisps of white, cold air rise.

"The Canglang Ice Heart Cup, depart!"

With a clear shout, Li Yanluo unleashed a colossal wave from the small cup. The surging wave, like a tsunami, seemed poised to engulf the heavens and earth, scattering and submerging all the Gu worms sent by the Witchcraft Evil King.

"go!"

After thwarting the Witch King's killing move, Li Yanluo did not linger in the fight. She immediately grabbed Ye Chen's arm and led him through the black sword-marked entrance into the Erosion Realm Sword Sect.

"This is... the legendary Dao artifact, the Canglang Ice Heart Cup?"

When the Witchcraft Evil King saw Li Yanluo and Ye Chen walk away, his face twitched, but he did not give chase.

The monstrous power that Li Yanluo had just summoned was so overwhelming that he was soaked to the bone and looked quite disheveled.

If he wasn't mistaken, the cup that Li Yanluo had just offered up was a top-tier magic weapon, a legendary Dao artifact!

Ye Chen entered the Erosion Realm Sword Sect and, recalling the scene just now, was somewhat surprised. He said:
"Miss Li, your magic weapon..."

Li Yanluo said, "It is the sect's treasured artifact of my Erosion Realm Sword Sect, called the Canglang Ice Heart Lamp, which is one of the Ten Great Dao Artifacts."

Legends of the Ten Great Dao Artifacts circulate in Yin Yang Tian Zhou. Among the Shi Jie Sword Sect, one of these Dao Artifacts is the Cang Lang Ice Heart Cup!
"So it was a Dao artifact."

Ye Chen nodded, thinking to himself that the power of the Dao artifact was indeed formidable, actually shattering the Witch King's killing move in an instant.

This precious magical artifact, known as the sect's most powerful artifact, is actually in the possession of Li Yanluo.

Li Yanluo's identity within the Erosion Sword Sect is definitely not simple.

However, activating the Canglang Ice Heart Lamp was clearly a huge drain on Li Yanluo's energy.

At this moment, her face was slightly pale, she was panting, and her chest was heaving, clearly indicating that she had expended a great deal of energy.

"Emperor Ye, I will take you to see your master."

Li Yanluo took a deep breath, composed herself, and then decided to take Ye Chen to see her master.

"Yanluo, you're back."

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a fair complexion and refined demeanor flew over. When he saw Li Yanluo return, and even bring Ye Chen back with her, he raised an eyebrow and revealed a look of joy.

"Greetings, Master."

Li Yanluo quickly bowed.

The middle-aged man nodded, then cupped his hands to Ye Chen and said:
"I am Xie Qinghan, the sect leader of the Erosion Realm Sword Sect. I have long admired Emperor Ye's reputation, and it is a great honor to meet you today!"

Ye Chen politely returned the greeting with clasped hands, saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you. Greetings, Sect Master Xie."

He looked Xie Qinghan up and down and found that Xie Qinghan's aura was very strange. On the surface, she seemed to be as gentle as water, all-encompassing and elegant.

But in reality, there are many mysterious undercurrents!

Ye Chen could even detect the auras of ancient pillar gods such as the Black Emperor, the Sky Beast King, the Lord of Dawn, the Lord of Shadows, and the Headless Sword Saint from him, but these auras were very chaotic and shallow.

Xie Qinghan is not a pillar god, but he has the aura of many pillar gods on his body. These auras are very chaotic, as if someone scraped off a bit of debris from many pillar gods and stuffed it all onto him.

Xie Qinghan noticed Ye Chen's gaze and said with a wry smile, "What has Emperor Ye noticed?"

Ye Chen remained expressionless and simply hummed in agreement.

Xie Qinghan sighed and said, "The birth of Yin Yang Tianzhou mixed many things from outside the world. I sit under the Kan trigram, which represents water and encompasses all things, yet many mysterious things flow into my body."

"Among these are some remnants of the pillar god's energy."

"I am powerless to prove my divine status, nor do I dare to use the remnants of these pillar gods' energy, so I have no choice but to suppress them all."

Ye Chen said, "I see."

Xie Qinghan shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about that. Emperor Ye, the reason why our Erosion Sword Sect invited you here is to ask you to help repair the shattered spacetime."

He glanced at Li Yanluo as he spoke, and Li Yanluo then looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen said, "I already know. Take me to see it first."

Xie Qinghan replied, "Yes!"

He dared not delay and immediately led Ye Chen deep into the erosion realm sword sect's mountain gate.

Many high-ranking figures in the Erosion Sword Sect bowed respectfully upon Ye Chen's arrival.

If Ye Chen can successfully repair spacetime and solve the trouble for the Erosion Sword Sect, then Ye Chen will be treated as an honored guest and become the Supreme Elder of the Erosion Sword Sect in the future!
Xie Qinghan led Ye Chen to the forbidden area behind the Erosion Realm Sword Sect, with Li Yanluo following beside them.

Within the forbidden area of ​​the back mountain, there are layers upon layers of restrictive formations, preventing outsiders from prying into the secrets of heaven. It seems that some secret is hidden here!
When Ye Chen arrived, he looked up and saw that the sky here had actually shattered.

To be precise, the sky here is like a curtain that has been burned through by fire.

Beyond the shattered and melting sky, there was a chaotic and surging dark aura of disaster. The disaster aura slowly poured down, turning into lightning, gales, and blood rain. When it fell on the Erosion Realm Sword Sect, it was blocked by layers of restrictions and evaporated into nothingness.

Even more frighteningly, fragmented carcasses of ferocious beasts and the remains of giants fell from the sky.

"Is this...outside the world?"

Ye Chen looked up at the scene above and immediately gasped.

The world beyond the sky is the world beyond the world!
The sky above the Erosion Realm Sword Sect was actually destroyed in one area, causing some calamities from beyond the world to pour down upon it.

Ye Chen hadn't expected that the so-called spacetime rupture situation of the Erosion Sword Sect was so severe; the world barrier had been eroded through, and the calamity from the outside world was seeping in.

"This damage appears to be caused by fragments of the Burning Sky!"

Ye Feier's voice reached Ye Chen's ears at this moment.

Ye Chen's heart stirred as he looked at the shattered sky.

The scene of destruction in the sky truly resembled one burned by a raging fire.

He closed his eyes, and in the darkness, he glimpsed the ancient secrets of heaven, seeing the terrifying spectacle of fragments of the burning sky streaking across the heavens and scorching the firmament.

The fragments of the Burning Heaven had originally been lost outside the world, but the Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent was born and mixed with too many things from outside the world, including the fragments of the Burning Heaven.

These fragments streaked across the sky and fell to the earth, burning down an entire patch of sky!
Xie Qinghan smiled wryly and said, "Yes, the world beyond the sky is indeed beyond the world!"

"This sky has been in a state of destruction ever since the birth of the World-Eroding Sword Sect."

“Our Erosion Sword Sect uses water magic to mend the sky, which was originally able to barely repair it, but recently, for some unknown reason, spacetime has been burned out, the sky has been destroyed, and all water magic has been evaporated, making it impossible to repair and mend it.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Feier secretly said to Ye Chen, "This must be because the fragment of the Burning Heaven is about to be born, causing the tribulation fire to erupt, and even the Erosion Realm Sword Sect has been affected!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's heart sank.

From this perspective, the changes in the Sun and Moon Dao Court and the troubles of the Erosion Sword Sect are not independent; there is a causal relationship between the two!
The Sun and Moon Dao Court was engulfed in flames of calamity. The Sky of the Erosion Sword Sect, which was also affected by the remnants of the burning sky, was also burned. Space and time were destroyed, and a huge hole was burned in the sky!

"I think it must be a disaster from outside the world that has eroded the barrier of the sky."

Xie Qinghan said helplessly.

He was unaware of the matter of the Heavenly Burning Fragments, only believing it to be a disaster from outside the world.

Ye Chen felt a sense of doubt. With Xie Qinghan's cultivation level, he should be able to deduce the secrets of heaven. From the destruction of the sky, he should be able to deduce the existence of the fragments of the Burning Heaven.

But judging from Xie Qinghan's appearance, she was completely unaware of the situation.

Even as Ye Chen gazed at the shattered sky and tried to trace the secrets of heaven, he was unable to find any trace of the fragments of the Burning Heaven.

Someone has concealed the secrets of heaven!
It's a fragment of the Heaven-Burning Blaze!
It was the fragments of the Burning Heaven that concealed the secrets of heaven!
"Has that fragment of the Heavenly Burning Realm developed intelligence and knows that it is concealing heavenly secrets?"

A chilling thought popped into Ye Chen's mind.

Ye Feier sensed Ye Chen's thoughts and was taken aback, stammering:
"It's...it's possible."

"If the fragments of the Burning Heaven were to develop intelligence, that would be a real problem!"

"It won't be easy for us to take it back!"

"Ah, so the source of danger is the fragment of the Heaven-Burning Sky itself?"

She had long anticipated that Ye Chen would face many crises if he wanted to seize the Fragments of the Burning Heaven.

However, she didn't know what the crisis was.

Now, she and Ye Chen both vaguely sensed that the source of the crisis might be the fragments of the Burning Heaven itself!

If this fragment were to develop intelligence and mutate into a human, it would become a monstrous demon capable of destroying the heavens and the earth. It would be difficult to subdue, let alone fight against.

Xie Qinghan, unaware of the shock in Ye Chen and Ye Feier's hearts, pleaded with Ye Chen:

"Emperor Ye, the huge hole in the sky can no longer be repaired by the Kan character water technique. We can only ask you to take action."

"Legend has it that you wield the divine power of time and space, and with the two laws of heaven and earth, you are sure to be able to repair the shattered sky if you were to take action."

Ye Chen wields the Divine Path of Time and Space and possesses the power to recreate the universe. If he were to take action, it is indeed possible for him to recreate the universe, mend time and space, and repair the shattered sky of the Erosion Sword Sect.

Ye Chen's expression darkened slightly as he considered whether or not to make a move.

With such a large hole, he would have to pay a considerable price to repair it.

Seeing Ye Chen hesitate, Xie Qinghan quickly said:

"Please rest assured, Emperor Ye."

"As long as you are willing to help, my Erosion Sword Sect will not go back on its word and will definitely mediate the conflict between you and the Slaughtering Dao Sect."

"In fact, my Erosion Sword Sect will regard you as a Supreme Elder! You can borrow the power of my sect at any time!"

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, still considering it.

Ye Feier said, "Lord of Reincarnation, you'd better make a move."

"This shattered sky contains the remnants of the Heaven-Burning Fragments. By repairing the sky and sensing these remnants, you can become familiar with the aura of the Heaven-Burning Fragments in advance."

"In the future, we won't be helpless when facing the fragments of the Burning Heaven."

"Moreover, along this huge hole in the sky, you can also go beyond the world and hunt some ferocious beasts to nourish my body... uh, no, it can also help you with your cultivation."

Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Go beyond this world?"
