Chapter 12611 The Source of the Riot
Xie Qinghan said, "Emperor Ye, what is your opinion?"
Ye Chen's mind raced as he deduced countless future secrets and timelines, realizing that if he acted rashly, he would surely die.
However, if we don't help, and the Yin spirit goes out of control, it will be a deadly disaster.
In the endless darkness and endless disaster, Ye Chen vaguely saw a ray of light.
A ray of seven-colored light!
Having made up his mind, he said, "I can help with building a cage to imprison the Yin spirit."
"But I must wait for a friend to arrive."
Xie Qinghan hurriedly asked, "Waiting for whom?"
Ye Chen said, "Give me ten days. I will take my friend to the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect. Thank you, Sect Master. You can report to those two patriarchs."
Ye Chen decided to help, but he needed to wait for someone.
He wanted to wait for the arrival of the Yuanzu!
Judging by the timeline, the Yuanzu welcoming ceremony will begin in about ten days.
If nothing unexpected happens, the original will return to the starry sky!
At that time, Ye Chen planned to take Yuan Zu with him to the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect to build a cage to seal the Yin God!
If Ye Chen were alone, he wouldn't be confident.
But if you add the original, the success rate will be much higher.
This is the method to break the deadlock that Ye Chen gleaned from calculating countless futures; the Primordial Ancestor is the key!
Xie Qinghan's expression was uncertain. He said, "Alright, Emperor Ye, I will go and inform the two patriarchs. Please wait here for one day."
Ye Chen said, "Mm."
With the agreement reached, Ye Chen remained at the Erosion Realm Sword Sect to wait, while Xie Qinghan immediately flew to the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect to report.
Ye Chen was adjusting his breathing in his room. He had just woken up today and needed to get used to his body.
The damage caused by the previous patching of the sky has been completely restored. Li Yanluo's Kan-character water technique, combined with the Canglang Ice Heart Cup, has a very good effect and is very nourishing.
However, Ye Chen was haunted by a persistent nightmare, always thinking of those malevolent fiery eyes.
Those fiery eyes had appeared in his dreams, and even after he woke up, they still lingered in his mind.
"Is it related to the fragments of the Burning Heaven?"
Ye Chen muttered to himself that he had collected many remnants of the Burning Heaven's energy and now sealed them in a time-space box.
Although the remnants of the Burning Heaven's Breath did not harm Ye Chen under the layers of nested spacetime seals, a faint trace of fire still seeped out.
Ye Chen guessed that this thing was the source of his nightmares!
"Master, what are you thinking about?"
A clear, slightly childish voice reached Ye Chen's ears.
It was Li Yanluo speaking.
At this moment, Ye Chen had already stored the Canglang Ice Heart Lamp in his dantian and placed several restrictive runes on it to prevent it from absorbing his spiritual energy.
Li Yanluo was essentially sealed off, but inside the Canglang Ice Heart Lamp was a vast space like a starry sea, with endless waves. She surfed and chased the sea, so she was naturally not bored and even had the leisure to care about Ye Chen. She even changed her address to Ye Chen as "Master".
"It's none of your business. Just stay put and don't bother me."
With a thought, Ye Chen directly pressed Li Yanluo back into the Canglang Inner Sea. He then sensed his own cultivation level, which was still at the initial stage of the seventh level of the Divine Illumination Realm.
However, compared to before, the spiritual energy has become much stronger, and it is about to break through.
When Ye Chen repaired the sky, he used the Divine Path of Time and Space, but it did not cause much backlash.
Now that he wields the Corona Bead, he is capable of withstanding the Great Calamity of Light, as long as he doesn't overuse his divine authority.
This celestial bead is very strange; it turns Ye Chen into light, but it does not annihilate Ye Chen's consciousness.
This is a very domineering divine object, embodying the will of the primordial times, which is to turn all things in the heavens into light, while retaining its own consciousness, so that only it exists in the world.
The idea of being the only one who follows the law, the only one who is supreme, the only one who transcends all external things, is truly an extreme view.
This idea is unacceptable to the Great Way.
Therefore, this celestial bead should not be used lightly.
Ye Chen's current state is somewhat peculiar.
He can use the celestial bead to fight against the great calamity of light, thereby exercising divine power.
However, the Corona Dzi Bead itself goes against the Great Dao, and using it too much will invite heavenly calamity and destruction!
Ye Chen currently maintains a delicate balance among divine authority, celestial beads, and the Great Dao.
This is like walking a tightrope; the risks are considerable.
But compared to before, it's much better now, and there's no need to worry about falling into the Great Calamity of Light anymore.
……
A day later, two streaks of light descended upon the Erosion Realm Sword Sect.
One of them was Xie Qinghan, who had already returned from the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect.
The other person was Zhou Buyi, an envoy from the Sun and Moon Dao Court!
He also came to the Erosion Realm Sword Sect.
Sensing Xie Qinghan's return, Ye Chen went out to meet her. When he saw Zhou Buyi beside Xie Qinghan, he was a little surprised.
"Emperor Ye, the Dao Lord detected the secret of your awakening yesterday and specially ordered me to come and request an audience. I've finally met you!"
Upon seeing Ye Chen, Zhou Buyi was overjoyed and bowed respectfully, his face filled with excitement and reverence. He then said:
"Your great divine power in mending the heavens and recreating the universe for the Erosion Sword Sect has been witnessed by all the heavens, and the Dao Lord admires you very much!"
The Dao Lord he spoke of was the supreme ruler of the Sun and Moon Dao Court.
Ye Chen mended the heavens for the Erosion Sword Sect, which was a creation of the universe. The heavenly secrets were vast. During the three days he was unconscious, the entire Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent and the other side of the starry sky witnessed his brilliance.
It was precisely for this reason that Patriarch Tingyou was willing to set aside his prejudices and invite Ye Chen to work together to build the cage.
All of this comes down to strength!
Xie Qinghan said, "Emperor Ye, the calamity fire eruption in the Sun and Moon Dao Court seems to be more serious than I imagined. Do you intend to intervene?"
Ye Chen frowned. Behind this raging inferno was the fragment of the Burning Heaven.
He was certainly interested in the fragments of the Burning Heaven.
However, the cause and effect behind the fragments of the Burning Heaven are extremely dangerous.
Ye Chen did not want to act rashly. In his plan, he wanted to wait for Yuanzu to return before dealing with the matter together.
"I want to wait for a friend of mine..." Ye Chen said thoughtfully.
Zhou Buyi said urgently, "I can't wait any longer!"
"Emperor Ye, please save my life!"
"The cataclysmic fire of my Sun Moon Dao Court can no longer be delayed. If it is delayed any longer, my Sun Moon Dao Court will surely be devoured!"
"Even half of Yin Yang Heavenly Continent will be engulfed by the calamity fire!"
Xie Qinghan frowned and said, "Aren't you going to ask the Heavenly Sect for help?"
The Heavenly Sect he mentioned refers to the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect itself.
He and the Sun and Moon Dao Court are both among the eight major branches of the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect. In case of any emergency, they can seek help from the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect.
However, if one seeks help from the Heavenly Sect, one will incur a huge favor and be subject to constraints in every aspect of life.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, branch sects will not seek help from the Heavenly Sect. Xie Qinghan would rather ask Ye Chen, an outsider, for help.
However, the situation on the Sun and Moon Dao Court side is clearly different.
The matter of the Calamity Fire Outbreak is far too serious, far more serious than the destruction of the Sky by the Erosion Realm Sword Sect. The Heavenly Sect must take action personally.
Zhou Buyi said with a wry smile, "The two patriarchs, Tianwen and Tingyou, said they are busy building the Abyss Cage, how could they find the time to rescue us?"
"The disasters of my Sun Moon Dao Court can only be solved by ourselves."
"Moreover, I think Ancestor Tingyou is ruthless and cruel. He might also want to watch us die so that he can brew up a great dark calamity and feed it to the Yin Gods."
If the Sun and Moon Dao Court is destroyed, the cries of the dead and wounded, their despair and resentment, and the darkness brought about by the calamities of heaven and earth, are all abysses that can serve as food for the Yin Gods.
Ye Chen's face darkened, and he said, "Such great darkness, I'm afraid even the Yin Gods couldn't handle it."
Behind the calamity of the Sun and Moon Dao Court lies the fragment of the Burning Heaven.
Once the calamity of burning the heavens rages and destroys the world, the resulting abyss of darkness will be terrifying, and the newly born Yin spirits may not be able to withstand it.
If the Yin spirit overeats and falls into madness, that would be extremely bad.
Zhou Buyi said, "That's right. The only way out now is to quell the flames of calamity and put an end to the disaster! Please, Emperor Ye, take action!"
He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Chen repeatedly, clearly indicating that the situation was extremely critical.
Ye Chen pondered. The Ancestor had not yet returned, and sending him alone to the Forbidden Zone of Emberfire would undoubtedly be extremely risky.
But at this critical juncture, the situation was urgent, and they couldn't wait for the founding emperor to return.
After thinking it over for a while, Ye Chen said to Zhou Buyi, "I'll go and take a look."
He didn't give a definitive answer, only saying that he would go and take a look first.
After all, behind this cataclysmic upheaval lies the fragment of the Heavenly Burning, the source of the former pillar gods' suffering, which tormented the seventy-two pillar gods for countless years.
The power contained in the fragments of the Burning Heaven was truly terrifying, and Ye Chen dared not say that he could quell the calamity fire.
Zhou Buyi took Ye Chen's agreement as fact, and kowtowed to Ye Chen several more times, saying, "Thank you, Emperor Ye! Thank you, Emperor Ye!"
"Emperor Ye, please rest assured, you are not fighting alone. There are powerful figures from the Black Abyss Demon Palace, as well as a descendant of the Pillar God. They are all willing to lend a hand to help suppress the calamity."
Ye Chen said, "The Black Abyss Demon Palace? A descendant of the Pillar God?"
The Black Abyss Demon Palace—that's the Black Queen Mother's territory!
There were actually powerful figures from the Black Abyss Demon Palace, and even some descendants of the Pillar God, who descended upon the Sun and Moon Dao Court, stirring up a lot of trouble.
Zhou Buyi said, "Yes, I will also go to the Forbidden Zone of Emberfire. If we join forces wholeheartedly, we will surely be able to quell the raging fire!"
Ye Chen wanted to say that he wanted to act alone and really didn't want to be with outsiders, but he felt that saying such a thing would be too presumptuous, so he remained silent.
In reality, the power of the Heavenly Blaze fragments is too dangerous, so it's a good thing to send more people to share the risks.
However, Ye Chen, who was used to acting alone, did not like being with others, especially those under the Black Queen Mother.
Zhou Buyi, however, couldn't care less about anything else and excitedly said, "Emperor Ye, let's go. I'll take you back to the Dao Court."
Ye Chen glanced at Xie Qinghan.
Xie Qinghan said, "Emperor Ye, take care."
"The Ember Forbidden Zone is dangerous; you must be careful."
"When necessary, the power of the Canglang Ice Heart Lamp can be used."
In the end, Xie Qinghan also felt a little sorry for him.
After all, the Azure Wave Ice Heart Lamp was a divine artifact of the Erosion Realm Sword Sect, and he naturally did not want to suffer any losses.
However, Ye Chen's value is clearly greater, so weighing the two, Ye Chen is definitely more important.
Ye Chen nodded, solemnly cupped his hands in farewell to Xie Qinghan, and left with Zhou Buyi.
The path ahead is now clear.
After quelling the raging fire and collecting the fragments of the Heavenly Burning, a welcoming ceremony will be held to guide the Primordial Ancestor back. Then, we will go to the Yin-Yang Divine Path Sect to build a cage to imprison the Yin God!
The Fragments of the Burning Heaven are undoubtedly crucial. It doesn't matter if Ye Chen can't get them, but we absolutely cannot let the Yin God get them!
Now that the fragments have been unearthed and revived, triggering a violent eruption of calamity fire, once the Yin God awakens, he will surely be able to detect the aura of the Heaven-Burning Fragments.
When that time comes, if the Yin God summons it again and devours the fragments of the Burning Heaven, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Therefore, Ye Chen must seize the Heaven-Burning Fragments before the Yin God awakens!
Moreover, this thing is also the key to completing the Entropy Sin Reincarnation Diagram, and it can be used to fight against the Primordial Chaos in the future!
Upon leaving the Erosion Sword Sect, Ye Chen saw a magnificent view of the distant sky.
A terrifying flame erupted from the earth, forming a straight pillar of fire that shot into the sky, turning the clouds for miles around red, as if the world were on fire and the end of the world was about to end.
Upon closer inspection, the flames were not the usual bright red, but rather mixed with a lot of foul, black filth.
Ye Chen could tell that it was the aura of a fragment of the Burning Heaven!
"Emperor Ye, look! The calamity fire has erupted so fiercely!"
"This is a source of calamity from beyond the world, which has infiltrated my Sun and Moon Dao Court. If it is not eradicated, my Sun and Moon Dao Court will be in danger, and so will Tianzhou!"
Zhou Buyi was a little agitated. The raging fire was already very fierce, with the flames even reaching the sky, as if they were going to burn everything.
However, Zhou Buyi is still unaware that behind this raging inferno is actually the rampaging power of the Heaven-Burning Fragments.
He assumed it was a natural disaster from outside the world that had infiltrated the land of the Sun and Moon Dao Court, creating a special source of calamity.
He never expected that the source of this calamity was actually a fragment of the Burning Heaven.
This is normal, after all, the fragments of the Burning Heaven have been lost for countless years and have been almost forgotten. Some people even thought that when Abyss died, the fragments of the Burning Heaven naturally disappeared as well.
But in reality, how could such a creation, which gathers endless evil energy, easily dissipate?
Now that the Yin God of the Abyss has been resurrected, the fragments of the Burning Heaven are about to erupt in rebellion.
"Take me to see it."
Ye Chen dared not delay, and together with Zhou Buyi, they boarded the latter's flying boat and headed to the Sun and Moon Dao Court.
Along the way, Ye Chen carefully sensed the auspicious and inauspicious auras in the world and found that the killing intent in the world had been greatly reduced.
The Lu Dao Sect of Ancestor Tingyou has stopped pursuing him. Currently, those who harbor murderous intent towards him are mainly the people of the End God Temple.
However, the Temple of the End has eight branch temples, which are constantly fighting among themselves, making it impossible for them to work together to hunt down Ye Chen.
Therefore, Ye Chen is currently safe.
The evil sorcerer king who wanted to kill him has disappeared without a trace.
Ye Chen didn't pay too much attention to it. The most urgent task was naturally to resolve the calamity fire riot of the Sun and Moon Dao Court.
"Emperor Ye, if you lend a hand in suppressing the raging fire of calamity, my Sun and Moon Dao Court can reward you with three million Dao Crystals!"
On the way, Zhou Buyi gritted his teeth and offered Ye Chen his terms.
Three million?
Ye Chen pondered.
Zhou Buyi said, "I'm sorry, Emperor Ye, this is all I can give you..."
"Our Sun and Moon Dao Court has already expended countless resources these past few days to quell the raging Calamity Fire. For example, borrowing the Azure Wave Ice Heart Lamp from the Erosion Realm Sword Sect cost us tens of millions of Dao Crystals..."
Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "It's alright, three million is enough."
He didn't actually care about the Dao Crystal; he only wanted to seize the Fragments of the Burning Heaven.
Zhou Buyi was very grateful and said, "Thank you, thank you!"
Half a day later, Zhou Buyi brought Ye Chen to the territory of the Sun and Moon Dao Court.
The entire Sun and Moon Dao Court, spanning a thousand miles, was almost entirely reduced to scorched ruins. Calamity fire erupted from the center of the earth, shooting straight into the sky before transforming into a rain of meteors that poured down.
The mountains, rivers, and towns in the territory of the Sun and Moon Dao Court have been completely burned to the ground by heavenly fire. Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers have been reduced to ruins, and countless lives have been lost. Many people are wailing in the flames of the catastrophe.
Upon seeing this tragic scene, Zhou Buyi's eyes filled with tears.
In fact, the Sun and Moon Dao Court had already set up numerous restrictions and protective formations, but unfortunately, this calamity fire was too fierce, and no restrictions could stop it.
The Sun and Moon Palace sits in the Li trigram, which represents fire. In the sky, there are the sun and moon, which are formed from the fire of Li, but they have been destroyed by the fire of calamity. The sun and moon are broken, and the remains fall as meteorites. It is truly an apocalyptic scene.
Looking around, Ye Chen could only see a patch of green in the distance, which was the last remaining blessed land of the Sun and Moon Dao Court.
"The calamity and fire erupted so fiercely that almost the entire territory of my Sun Moon Dao Court has been reduced to ruins!"
"Currently, only the Dao Lord's Grotto-Heaven has not yet been destroyed."
"Emperor Ye, let me take you to see the Dao Master first!"
Zhou Buyi dared not delay and immediately led Ye Chen toward the last remaining blessed land ahead.
The Calamity Fire, which was originally only rampaging in the Forbidden Zone of Ember Fire, has now spread out completely, surging and roaring violently between heaven and earth.
As the two traveled, flames erupted from the ground, a truly terrifying sight.
Zhou Buyi used a fire technique called "Separation" to somewhat awkwardly disperse the earth fire, leading Ye Chen into the Dao Lord's Cave Heaven.
This last remaining blessed land was already packed with people. Disciples, stewards, elders, and many ordinary people from the Sun and Moon Dao Court were all crowded here, creating a noisy atmosphere.
Zhou Buyi led Ye Chen straight through the crowd and into a mansion.
"Lord Dao, Emperor Ye has arrived!"
As soon as Zhou Buyi stepped into the mansion, he shouted loudly.
In the main hall of the mansion, a tall, middle-aged man dressed in a flame-patterned Taoist robe strode out.
Although the middle-aged man was tall and robust, his face was haggard, his cheeks were sunken, and his eyes had lost all their energy, making him look very dejected.
But upon seeing Ye Chen, a glimmer of light appeared in his empty eyes, and he quickly clasped his hands in greeting:
"I am Qin Yechuan, the Dao Master of the Sun and Moon Dao Court, and I greet Emperor Ye!"
Ye Chen returned the greeting with clasped hands and said, "Greetings, Daoist Master Qin."
Seeing Qin Yechuan's haggard appearance, he couldn't help but take a few more glances, thinking that this person's life essence was depleted, and if he didn't take care of himself, he might not live much longer.
Qin Yechuan sighed, "I nearly exhausted my life essence in order to suppress the raging fire, I'm afraid I've made Emperor Ye laugh at me."
Ye Chen said, "Master Qin, you should rest well. Your health is the most important thing."
Qin Yechuan said helplessly, "How can I find peace if the flames of calamity are not extinguished?"
At this moment, several more elders emerged from the hall, all of them withered and emaciated, resembling skeletons.
Clearly, they had exhausted their life essence in order to suppress the calamity.
When they saw Ye Chen arrive, their dejected eyes lit up with excitement, as if they had seen a savior!
