Chapter 12612 Cang Emperor!
Chapter 12612 Cang Emperor!
Then, two more people walked out of the hall, a man and a woman.
The man was tall and slender, and his body was filled with the Dao Qi of Qiankun. Although it was not as powerful and magnificent as Ye Chen's Qiankun Two Methods, it was still quite formidable.
The woman, however, was a burly, strong woman, as big as a bear, with two axes hanging from her waist. As soon as she appeared, she began shouting loudly:
"Qin Yechuan, who have you invited this time? With me in charge, what calamity can't be quelled?"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed when he saw the female giant.
This is actually the tyrannical witch among the seven witches under the Black Queen Mother's command!
This tyrannical witch exuded a violent and ferocious aura. Her eyes, brownish-yellow like a tiger's, were fixed on Ye Chen, as if she regarded him as prey.
After seeing Ye Chen's appearance clearly, she grinned and said, "So it's the recently famous Emperor Ye!"
"Have I seen you before? Why do I find you so repulsive the moment I see you!"
The tyrannical witch drew an axe, took a step forward, and the entire mansion shook.
Judging from her aggressive demeanor, it seemed as if she wanted to chop Ye Chen in half with an axe!
Qin Yechuan hurriedly said, "Witch, calm down. I know that your Black Abyss Demon Palace seems to have some grudges with Emperor Ye, but today the calamity fire is raging, and it is more important to quell the calamity fire!"
"Whatever grudges you have, you can settle them after the flames of war have subsided."
Ye Chen is actually the Lord of Reincarnation. He had contact with the Tyrannical Witch before, so even though the Tyrannical Witch had forgotten those memories, she still instinctively hated Ye Chen.
Qin Yechuan was unaware of this, but he did know that Ye Chen's Nine Heavens Reincarnation Alliance had a conflict with the Black Abyss Demon Palace.
In fact, the Black Queen Mother's Black Abyss Demon Palace is the enemy of almost all righteous sects!
However, in order to quell the flames of calamity, Qin Yechuan couldn't care less about all that.
The tyrannical witch snorted and said to Qin Yechuan, "The Black Queen Mother said that the source of the calamity fire in your Emberfire Forbidden Zone has extraordinary karma. Once the calamity fire subsides, that source of the calamity fire will belong to me!"
It can now be confirmed that the calamity has a source.
The Sun and Moon Path Court refers to it as the "source of calamity fire".
Once the source of the calamity is removed, the fire will be extinguished.
Upon hearing the words of the tyrannical witch, Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine and pondered, "Could it be that the Black Queen Mother also knows that the source of the calamity fire is actually a fragment of the Heaven-Burning Heaven?"
"The source of the fire is mine."
At this moment, the man next to the tyrannical witch crossed his arms indifferently and spoke calmly.
Ye Chen looked at the man and saw that the latter had an extraordinary bearing and was actually surrounded by the Dao Qi of Heaven and Earth.
The man's eyes, however, seemed somewhat familiar to Ye Chen.
Deep within the man's eyes, a dark fire seemed to be burning!
These eyes reminded Ye Chen of the pair of malevolent, fiery eyes he had seen in his dream!
"Who is this person?"
"Why are his eyes so similar to the eyes I saw in my dream?"
Ye Chen was wary, sensing that this man was not simple.
Qin Yechuan quickly introduced to Ye Chen:
"This young master is named Su Ming, and he is a descendant of the Pillar God."
Ye Chen asked, "Descendant of a pillar god? Which pillar god's descendant?"
He scrutinized Su Ming and indeed sensed a trace of the Pillar God's bloodline, but it was somewhat murky and did not match the Pillar Gods in his memory. He didn't know which Pillar God it was.
"The God of Heaven and Earth, the Azure Emperor."
Su Ming looked at Ye Chen indifferently and announced the name of his ancestral god.
Qiankun Star God, Azure Emperor!
Among the seventy-two pillar gods, there are seven star gods.
Like the Soul Emperor, he is a demon star.
Yuan Tiandi is an immortal star.
The god of time, Zeus, is the star of time.
The God of Space, Yu Shen, is the Star of the Sky.
Furthermore, the Emperor Taiyi, whom the Beiyao Academy worships, represents the Taiyi Star, which symbolizes order.
Among the Seven Star Gods, there is indeed a Qiankun Star. Ye Chen had a vague impression of it, but he had never come into contact with it before.
Upon hearing what Su Ming said, his mind went blank for a moment, and he felt a sense of familiarity.
What does the Qiankun Star God represent?
It's reality!
What is reality?
Heaven and earth, the universe, that is reality!
The first thing a person sees when they are born is the universe, which is reality!
As long as heaven and earth exist, reality exists; it will not sink into nightmares, nor will it collapse.
The Way of the Heaven and Earth Star God is the Way of Reality, which aligns with the Great Way of Heaven and Earth of the Origin.
Ye Chen cultivated the Qiankun Two Methods, so upon hearing the name of the Qiankun Star God, he felt a strong sense of familiarity.
Moreover, the name of the Qiankun Star God is Cangdi.
What is the Azure Emperor?
This sounds exactly like the Heavenly Emperor he claims to be!
"The God of Heaven and Earth, the Azure Emperor?"
"Could your ancestral god be the Heavenly Emperor?"
"Are they the same person?"
The tyrannical witch beside her rolled her eyes, glancing at Su Ming and then at Ye Chen, and subconsciously felt that the Azure Emperor and the Azure Emperor were actually the same person.
Ye Chen also possesses the Dao of Reality, which is governed by the Star God of Heaven and Earth, and the great divine power of recreating Heaven and Earth has amazed all the heavens.
Qin Yechuan also looked at Ye Chen with some curiosity, after all, Ye Chen had said that he was a lost pillar god, and perhaps his lost god name was the Qiankun Star God.
Su Ming coldly replied, "No! He is a false god!"
He stared intently at Ye Chen, "The Ancestral God said that among the seventy-two pillar gods, there is only the Azure Emperor, not the Azure Heaven Emperor!"
"He's a fake god!"
Upon hearing Su Ming's words, everyone present was immediately shocked.
The statement "a fake god" is far too shocking.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen merely smiled and offered no explanation. Instead, he calmly remarked, "So, I'm still a false god after all."
Su Ming's eyes were filled with resentment as he wanted to continue refuting, but Qin Yechuan stopped him.
Qin Yechuan wiped his sweat and said, "Everyone, please calm down."
"The flames of war are growing stronger; we should put aside our grudges and overcome this difficult time together."
Ye Chen frowned and said, "Master Qin, what kind of people have you brought here? Being with these people, it's good enough if we don't get ambushed by them, let alone cooperate to overcome difficulties? Absolutely not!"
Ye Chen originally thought that having more people would provide more strength and also help share the risks associated with the Burning Heaven fragments.
But now it seems that the Tyrannical Witch and Su Ming both see themselves as enemies, so there is absolutely no possibility of them uniting and joining forces. It would be good enough if the three of them didn't fight each other.
Qin Yechuan said helplessly, "Actually, it wasn't me who went to them, it was them who came to us."
"Both this witch and this young master Su said that they don't want a single Dao Crystal, they just want to enter the Emberfire Forbidden Zone and collect the source of the Calamity Fire."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was taken aback, and a chill ran through him.
Could it be that the tyrannical witch and Su Ming both knew that the source of the calamity fire was actually a fragment of the Burning Heaven?
They didn't want a single Dao Crystal, yet they risked entering the Emberfire Forbidden Zone, all for the sake of the Heaven-Burning Fragments?
Su Ming said, "Stop rambling on, Daoist Qin. Open the Emberfire Forbidden Zone and let me in."
“I will suppress the calamity fire, and then collect the source of that calamity fire into my Qiankun Xuanhuang Pagoda.”
"Hehe, such a terrifying natural disaster must have an extremely dangerous source of fire. Do you have a container to collect it?"
Su Ming flipped his hand and summoned a pagoda-shaped magic weapon, which was surrounded by the Daoist rhyme of Qiankun Xuanhuang. It was actually a Dao artifact!
It is one of the ten great Dao artifacts of Yin Yang Heavenly Continent!
He wields the Qiankun Xuanhuang Pagoda, which serves as a container to hold the source of the calamity fire.
The tyrannical witch ripped open her clothes, revealing a bushy chest, and grinned, showing two rows of yellow teeth, saying, "My body is the best vessel!"
She was also very interested in the source of the fire.
Qin Yechuan wiped his sweat and said, "Do you guys think the Source of Calamity Fire is some kind of supreme treasure?"
"That's the source of the calamity! It's a natural disaster, the source of all calamity!"
"Even I, if I were to approach its source, would be reduced to ashes!"
"Alright, I'll lift the final restriction on the Emberfire Forbidden Zone. You may go in."
"If we can really collect the source of the fire, that would be the best outcome."
In the end, Qin Yechuan could only sigh helplessly.
He deduced countless secrets of the heavens and glimpsed that the only person who could break the deadlock was Ye Chen.
Only Ye Chen has a chance to quell the calamity.
He did not believe that the tyrannical witch and Su Ming were qualified to collect the source of the calamity fire.
But since they weren't afraid of death, he had nothing more to say.
Every additional person who gets in brings a greater chance of hope!
Without further hesitation, Qin Yechuan formed hand seals and released the last remaining restrictions on the Emberfire Forbidden Zone in the center of the distant land.
Originally, the Emberfire Forbidden Zone had thousands of layers of restrictions, but these had been almost completely destroyed by the rampaging Calamity Fire, leaving only a tiny remnant.
This barrier isn't for fire prevention, nor can it prevent fires; it's meant to keep outsiders out.
As Qin Yechuan opened the barrier, the Emberfire Forbidden Zone was no longer protected. The raging tribulation fire inside flowed out even more violently and fiercely, like magma, quickly covering the land within a hundred miles. The rocks turned into lava, and everything was glowing red.
Seeing this scene, the tyrannical witch and Su Ming were not afraid at all. Instead, their eyes gleamed with greed, their gazes burning hotter than magma.
They set off immediately, rushing towards the Ember Forbidden Zone.
Ye Chen frowned slightly. If he were to rashly rush into such a fierce calamity, it would be tantamount to courting death.
After all, his cultivation level was still quite different from that of Su Ming and the Tyrannical Witch.
However, Ye Chen possessed numerous supernatural abilities and was naturally not afraid.
He took out the Seven-Colored Divine Bow and carried it on his back.
The ice crystals inlaid on the Seven-Colored Divine Bow released wisps of chilling aura, enough to resist the aura of the Calamity Fire.
Within Ye Chen's dantian, there was also the Canglang Ice Heart Lamp, from which wisps of cool spiritual energy surged forth.
With protection both inside and out, he is more than capable of withstanding the intense heat of the calamity.
After making thorough preparations, Ye Chen cupped his hands to Qin Yechuan and said:
"Master Qin, I'm off."
Qin Yechuan hummed in agreement, his eyes filled with anticipation, hoping that Ye Chen could quell the calamity.
Ye Chen set off, and Zhou Buyi followed.
Zhou Buyi also participated in the suppression of the riots.
Currently, most of the high-ranking members of the Sun Moon Dao Court have exhausted their vital energy, with only younger disciples like Zhou Buyi still maintaining vitality.
The Tyrannical Witch and Su Ming have already entered the Emberfire Forbidden Zone.
The Forbidden Zone of Emberfire is located in the center of the Sun and Moon Dao Court. The calamity fire is most intense here. Ordinary people who approach it will be immediately burned to ashes!
That tyrannical witch was also formidable, with a fierce physical body. She managed to withstand the impact of the calamity fire by relying on her thick skin and flesh, and strode into the forbidden area.
As for Su Ming, starlight faintly emanated from the top of his head. It was the starlight of the Qiankun Star God, carrying the vast and righteous energy of the universe.
But within this vast and righteous spirit of heaven and earth, there lies a hidden, boiling filth.
This boiling filth is almost identical to the aura of the Heaven-Burning Calamity Fire!
With starlight above his head, as if protected by a god, Su Ming withstood the impact of the tribulation fire and steadily held the Qiankun Xuanhuang Pagoda in his hands as he entered the forbidden area.
As Ye Chen approached the restricted area, waves of intense heat and molten lava relentlessly assaulted him, while the ground beneath his feet was already covered with a thick, scalding layer of magma, making movement difficult.
Fortunately, the Seven-Colored Divine Bow behind Ye Chen, inlaid with ice crystals, was constantly releasing a chilling aura.
The cold air collided with the surrounding heat wave, producing a hissing sound as it evaporated, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply and even become somewhat icy.
"Emperor Ye, what kind of treasure is this? It can actually withstand the burning flames of the tribulation! It's truly amazing!"
Zhou Buyi was overjoyed when he saw this. He had originally intended to use the fire technique of the Separation Word to ward off the Calamity Fire, but now it seemed that he wouldn't need to.
"go in."
Ye Chen didn't explain much and stepped directly into the Emberfire Forbidden Zone.
Ye Chen was somewhat surprised that a single ice crystal could withstand the impact of the tribulation fire.
The methods employed by the founder of the Yuan Dynasty are evident.
If the Primordial Ancestor were to come in person to suppress the calamity fire and collect the fragments of the Heaven-Burning Blaze, things might be much simpler!
Unfortunately, Yuanzu has not yet returned, so Ye Chen can only rely on himself.
Upon entering the Emberfire Forbidden Zone, one sees a massive volcano in the center, constantly spewing lava and flames.
From the erupting volcano, Ye Chen sensed an extremely terrifying and explosive aura that seemed to burn the heavens.
Without a doubt, the fragments of the Burning Heaven are buried in that volcano!
The tyrannical witch and Su Ming's eyes lit up when they saw the volcano, and they strode towards the central volcano.
The journey from the entrance to the central volcano is about a hundred miles, which is neither a long nor a short distance.
One after another, fiery beasts roamed freely within the restricted area. As soon as they saw Ye Chen and his group enter, they roared furiously and charged forward.
These fiery beasts are all formed from pure calamity fire energy, and each one is incredibly ferocious.
The tyrannical witch swung her giant axe, hacking and slashing wildly as she charged forward like a savage beast.
Su Ming, on the other hand, was much more carefree. Holding the Qiankun Xuanhuang Pagoda, he used his spiritual incantations to collect and refine all the fiery beasts into the pagoda, accompanied by a series of mournful roars.
Ye Chen's method was even simpler. He drew the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword and, relying on its sharpness, slew the fire beasts and moved forward quickly.
Zhou Buyi followed behind Ye Chen without much effort.
"Huh, how come there are creations of the Abyss Father here?"
"The Netherworld Extinction Lamp, the Desolate Star-Devouring Pot, the Wasteland Burial God Coffin? This is impossible!"
The tyrannical witch charged ahead, and after passing through a herd of beasts, she saw several vortexes of calamity fire in the open area ahead.
Within those vortexes of tribulation fire, magical treasures floated, emitting a crystalline light. However, under the burning of the tribulation fire, those magical treasures continued to turn red, on the verge of being burned and melted.
Ye Chen saw a lamp, a spirit pot, and even a coffin, all of which exuded a mysterious abyssal aura and looked like creations of the abyss!
It is truly astonishing that a creature from the abyss would appear in this forbidden land ravaged by calamity.
The tyrannical witch was completely stunned, finding it unbelievable.
Ye Chen did glimpse some of the secrets of heaven. These things, the Netherworld Extinction Lamp, the Desolate Star Devouring Pot, and the Desolate Ruins Burial God Coffin, must have been formed from the spiritual energy of the fragments of the Burning Heaven!
Divine artifacts of the caliber of the Heaven-Burning Fragments can be crafted into top-tier magical treasures simply by releasing their spiritual energy!
The Heaven-Burning World-Destroying Pestle that Ye Chen had encountered before was formed from the spiritual energy of fragments of the Heaven-Burning Heaven.
This kind of spiritual creation doesn't happen out of nowhere; everything has a source behind it.
The source is the will of the abyss, the creations of the abyss!
The fragments of the Abyss that once appeared can be recreated, because the Dao is interconnected.
However, these creations of the abyss, once again, will be burned to ashes under the raging flames of calamity.
The raging inferno was too fierce; streaks of flame burned through the earth, carving out swirling pits filled with magma.
The tyrannical witch saw a Netherworld Extinction Lamp about to be melted by the Calamity Fire and felt a pang of regret. She immediately made a move to snatch it.
Su Ming's eyes flickered, and he reached out to snatch another artifact called the "Netherworld Star Devouring Pot".
Seeing that the two of them had taken action, Ye Chen was not willing to fall behind and tried to seize the Abyss Creation, but only a "Desolate Ruins Burial God Coffin" remained.
The coffin was quite large and covered in fiery lava, making it difficult to seize.
"Dragon Emperor's Claw!"
Ye Chen remained calm and immediately retrieved the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword. He then activated the Great Dao Dragon Emperor's Authority, covering his right hand with a layer of golden light. The golden light condensed into a dragon claw, and he grabbed the massive coffin with one claw, intending to put it into the Reincarnation Graveyard.
"stop!"
"What are you doing!"
"How dare you lay a hand on the Father's creation?"
The tyrannical witch, seeing that Su Ming and Ye Chen both wanted to seize the Abyss Creation, was enraged.
In her eyes, the abyss was God.
The creation of the Father shall not be touched by outsiders!
I'll kill you all!
Before Ye Chen and Su Ming could even seize the Abyss Creation, the Tyrannical Witch roared, her body swaying as she rose ten feet into the air, transforming into a giant, wielding two axes, and slashing at Ye Chen and Su Ming.
This tyrannical witch wields the laws of rage and bloodshed. She is a giant with the strength of a diamond, unlike other witches who are weak. Her power is unparalleled.
She swung her axe down, startling both Ye Chen and Su Ming, who felt they could hardly withstand her attack.
"Crazy woman!"
Su Ming's face darkened. Instead of recklessly confronting her head-on, he released the "Netherworld Star Devouring Pot" and dodged the tyrannical witch's axe.
Ye Chen was unwilling to give up easily. Seeing the tyrannical witch swing her axe at him, he made a quick decision. His dragon claws still gripped the coffin firmly, but with a clang, he pulled out a knife with his left hand.
A katana.
Cold, sharp, and austere.
The moment the sword was drawn, a ray of crimson moonlight also emanated from the katana.
This is a katana left behind by the Crimson Moon Goddess, and the aura of the Crimson Moon Goddess still lingers on it.
"Crimson Moon Slash!"
Ye Chen drew his blade, the crimson moon blade light flashing past, unleashing a fierce aura of slaughter and natural disaster, directly slashing at the tyrannical witch's axe.
The tyrannical witch was stunned, feeling a strong shock to her mind, and hallucinations began to occur in her head.
