Chapter 12615 Never Die

Chapter 12615 Never Die
Ye Chen's body was also protected by a holy white light, and he stepped into the volcano like a flawless holy spirit.

Haotian Lanshen was stunned. He felt that the pain of the Heaven-Burning Tribulation that he had been suffering from had subsided, but the torment brought by the tribulation still made him feel a sense of emptiness.

The support he could give Ye Chen was only left for the last quarter of an hour.

However, Ye Chen remained calm.

Holding the Corona Dzi Bead, he felt he possessed supreme and divine power!
Ye Chen hadn't used the Corona Heavenly Bead in his previous battles against the Tyrannical Witch, Su Ming, and the Qiankun Star God, precisely because he wanted to save this trump card for this moment!

As he entered the volcano, he could already smell the aura of the fragments of the Burning Sky—scalding, intense, terrifying, violent, and mixed with many evil and malevolent scents.

Among the four supreme abyss fragments, the Heaven-Burning Fragment represents purgatory, a symbol of extreme evil and poison. All the pain, calamities, tribulations, greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, and unfulfilled desires in the world, as well as the inner demons, all settle and converge to become the Heaven-Burning Fragment.

As long as evil exists in people's hearts, the fire that burns the heavens will never be extinguished!
Even the Abyss God himself was constantly suffering from the scorching heat of the heavens, a torment beyond description.

This is the root of all evil, the source of all suffering!

Now, Ye Chen is getting close to the source of this pain!

Inside the volcano, raging flames roared and burned everywhere.

Ye Chen felt a cool and clear sensation throughout his body, as the Corona Dzi Bead provided him with tremendous protection.

He was enveloped in divine light, resisting the impact of the calamity fire.

However, Ye Chen dared not be careless and remained cautious.

He continued forward and saw some black blood, mixed with the smell of poison, flowing at his feet.

The space inside the volcano was extremely empty, as if even spacetime had been distorted by the power of the fragments of the Burning Sky.

Finally, Ye Chen arrived at the belly of the volcano in the center. It was a hollow space, as vast as the starry sky, with the Heavenly Tribulation Fire boiling and roaring fire tornadoes everywhere.

Amidst the endless storm of fire, Ye Chen saw a fragment floating high in the sky!
The fragments were murky in color, a mixture of countless calamities and sufferings, and were surrounded by a red light, venomous and mysterious, evil and profound.

Surrounding the fragments were hundreds of black spheres, which upon closer inspection were black tumors! They flowed with foul blood, spread plague, and reeked of a foul stench.

Ye Chen's pupils contracted as he looked at the scene before him. If he hadn't been in control of the Corona Dzi Bead, he was certain that he would have died the moment he saw the fragment.

Those fragments were the fragments of the Burning Heaven!
The aura emanating from the fragments of the Burning Heaven was filled with calamity and malevolence; this aura alone was incredibly deadly.

Ye Chen was certain that even a Heavenly Dao Realm expert would not be able to withstand the aura of the Heaven-Burning Fragment!

This is the root of all evil! The source of the suffering of the gods!

Among the seventy-two pillar gods, countless deities would rather give up their own lives than be tormented by the Great Calamity of Burning Heaven.

Now, the source of all evil, the source of all suffering, the legendary fragment of the Burning Heaven, is right before Ye Chen's eyes!
Ye Chen held the Corona Heavenly Pearl in his hand. He had not yet been affected by the Heavenly Tribulation Fire, but he still felt a chill when he saw the violent and boiling disaster energy of the Heavenly Tribulation Fragment.

Can this thing really be refined?

"Put your beads away. These things make me very uncomfortable!"

An ancient and weathered voice, imposing and awe-inspiring, suddenly rang out in the air.

A figure, exuding an aura of eternal invincibility, slowly emerged from the sky and stood atop the fragments of the Burning Heaven.

He was an incomparably majestic man, as tall as the sun and moon, with flowing black hair, a cold and stern face, and his body surrounded by countless layers of blazing flames.

Upon closer inspection, the countless layers of flames were mixed with many dark and filthy colors, with wailing souls and ancient creatures weeping.

As Ye Chen looked at the man, he even began to hallucinate, with images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood appearing in his mind.

This man is practically purgatory itself!
"who are you?"

Ye Chen spoke subconsciously.

"ember."

The man spoke, uttering only one word, its booming sound like the mad song of an ancient god, overwhelming all the heavens.

"ember?"

As Ye Chen murmured the word, it was as if he had touched some kind of taboo. A scalding dark fire rose from his lower abdomen, threatening to incinerate him, but it was dissolved by the radiance of the Corona Dzi Bead.

The man who called himself "Jin" stared at Ye Chen, his pupils slightly contracting.

Clearly, he realized that Ye Chen had lifted his taboo.

"The Sun Corona Dzi Bead, a Primordial Sacred Artifact, is indeed extraordinary."

He muttered to himself, looking at the Corona Dzi Bead in Ye Chen's hand, his eyes filled with a hint of fear and a strange...longing, like a moth drawn to a flame, knowing it would lead to death, yet still unable to resist rushing towards it.

"I am the spirit of a fragment of the Burning Heaven. Your ability to step into this place and pay homage to me proves your strength."

"Jin" softened his tone and explained his identity.

He is the spirit manifestation of the fragment of the Burning Heaven!

Ye Chen had expected this, so he wasn't surprised.

"You already have two fragments of the Abyss within you, Lord of Reincarnation."

Jin directly addressed Ye Chen as the Lord of Reincarnation.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, but considering that the other party was the spirit of the Burning Heaven Fragment, knew his true identity, and even knew that the Frenzied Devouring Fragment and the Impure Earth Fragment were both on him, it was not surprising, so he said, "Yes."

Jin's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he fell silent.

After a long silence, he sighed with a touch of melancholy:
"If I could, I wouldn't want to be born."

"If I had never existed, I would not suffer."

Neither the Frenzy Fragment nor the Impure Earth Fragment gained any spiritual power. In fact, after their destruction in the Abyss, both fragments lost their intelligence and became mere tools.

Only the fragments of the Burning Heaven, because their aura was so extremely turbid, dark, and terrifying, were the source of all evil. Their malevolent energy grew increasingly intense, eventually giving rise to "Ember".

He is the spirit born from a fragment of the Burning Heaven, but at this moment, he says that he does not want to be born.

"Are you in pain?"

Ye Chen said.

Jin nodded and said, "Yes, the Tribulation of the Burning Heaven Purgatory is boiling within my body."

“You have come at just the right time, Lord of Reincarnation.”

"Perhaps we can make a deal."

Ye Chen asked, "A trade?"

Jin said, "Yes, I can give you the fragments of the Burning Heaven, but on the condition that you help me find a new body, a clean body."

Ye Chen subconsciously took a step back and said, "You want to possess another body and be reborn?"

He understood. Jin was born from the tribulation fire of the fragments of the Burning Heaven and was born to bear the endless tribulation of the Burning Heaven Purgatory. He was in pain and suffering. If he wanted to be reborn, he needed a new body!
Ye Chen subconsciously thought that Jin wanted to possess him, and immediately became vigilant.

Jin looked at Ye Chen, but smiled disdainfully and said:
“Your body is too chaotic in its cultivation methods and the various divine powers are in disarray. You could easily attract all sorts of calamities if you’re not careful. I have no interest in it.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen felt a little embarrassed.

Indeed, the Taoist arts he wielded were too chaotic.

His body was not clean either.

It's a miracle that he's still alive, with all sorts of forces—light and darkness—mixed together.

"I need a truly clean body. Find one for me."

Jin stared at Ye Chen and repeated himself.

"A truly clean body..."

Ye Chen pondered, his mind racing.

The body that can be possessed and reborn by Jhin must be not only clean, but also powerful.

Otherwise, a body that is too weak cannot bear the power of Ember.

"I deduced the secrets of heaven and found that the body of the Golden Feather Emperor is quite suitable for me."

While Ye Chen was still pondering, Jin had already given his answer, his tone quite ardent.

"Emperor Jin Yu?"

Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat.

The Golden Feather Emperor is one of the Three Pure Ones, possessing great strength and a truly clean body.

"Although this old man has been worn down by the years and his body is somewhat aged."

"But at least, it was a clean and powerful body!"

"Go and kill him, and take his body for me!"

With a deep, unsettling gaze, Jin addressed Ye Chen as if issuing a direct command.

"I?"

Ye Chen chuckled. Killing the Golden Feather Emperor? How easy was that?

The Golden Feather Emperor is extremely powerful.

"Yes."

“I know it’s tough.”

“You can consider cooperating with me.”

"Or, you can leave."

"After half a month, the Yin spirit will awaken and devour me."

"If I merge with him, it will become a nightmare that burns the heavens and destroys all the heavens!"

Jin's voice was loud, yet tinged with a sense of desolation.

If the Yin spirit devours him, he will merge with the Yin spirit, and his consciousness will cease to exist.

The consciousness of the Yin spirit also does not exist.

When the two merge, the Abyss of Burning Heaven explodes, and in the end, what is born will inevitably be a mad and violent monster that only knows how to kill!

A monster that can burn the heavens and destroy the earth, extinguishing the stars!

Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of the serious consequences.

"I had no choice?"

Ye Chen said.

"You can leave, I won't stop you."

Jin said calmly.

He is retreating in order to advance.

He had already explained the consequences of the disaster: if Ye Chen did not cooperate, the heavens would be burned and everything would be reduced to ashes.

He did not force Ye Chen, nor would he stop Ye Chen from leaving.

After all, Ye Chen holds the Corona Dzi Bead. If the two were to break off relations, even if he could suppress Ye Chen, he would inevitably have to pay a huge price!

Ye Chen's eyes darted around as he made his plans.

If he were to act directly and use the Corona Celestial Bead to kill Jin, he could obtain the Fragment of Burning Heaven without needing to make any deals.

However, looking at Jin's majestic and imposing body, wreathed in tribulation flames, Ye Chen had no idea...

Once they break off all ties, the two will likely end up destroying each other.

"Oh, that's all."

"I will cooperate with you."

"I will find you a clean and unharmed body. After it is done, the fragments of the Burning Heaven will be mine."

Ye Chen sighed and finally agreed.

Upon hearing this, Jin's eyes lit up immediately, and he said:
"Very good, Lord of Reincarnation!"

Ye Chen said, "Don't call me the Lord of Reincarnation. I don't want to reveal heavenly secrets."

Jin smiled and said, "After half a month, when the Yin God awakens, he will regain his memories and know that you are the Lord of Reincarnation."

"At that time, your identity will be completely exposed."

Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, but he still shook his head and said, "Let's wait half a month before we talk about it."

Jin said, "Alright, I respect you, Emperor Ye."

He immediately changed his mind and said...
"There's no need to search for anything anymore. As I said, Emperor Jin Yu's body is perfect for me."

"After I kill him, I will be reborn, and perhaps we can become friends."

friend?

Ye Chen felt a bit absurd when he heard those two words.

He came here prepared for a life-or-death battle, but he never expected that in the end, he would have to cooperate with Jin, and even have the opportunity to become friends in the future.

"Let's talk about it later. Killing Emperor Golden Feather won't be easy."

Ye Chen said listlessly.

Jin said, "I will give you a sword; it may be useful in future battles."

He flicked his finger, and a wisp of flame shot out, heading straight for Ye Chen's brow.

Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not resist and accepted it calmly.

laugh!
As the flames shot in, Ye Chen felt a burning sensation between his brows, and then a grand and fierce sword technique secret rushed into his mind.

Great Heavenly Demon Explosion Sword!
This sword technique is called "Great Heavenly Demon Explosion Sword".

"Gathering all evil, rampaging with malevolent forces, scorching heaven-burning fire, exploding swords cleaving the sky..."

Ye Chen grasped the profound meaning of the "Great Heavenly Demon Explosion Sword" technique and quickly mastered it.

This "Great Heavenly Demon Explosion Sword," if judged solely on its sword techniques, might not be that powerful, but it is far inferior to the Sword Emperor's three great sword arts.

However, this sword technique is performed using fragments of the Burning Heaven technique!

If one could master the fragments of the Burning Heaven and then unleash the "Great Heavenly Demon Explosion Sword," drawing upon the raging flames of the Burning Heaven to explode with a single strike, annihilating the starry sky, the power would be terrifying!
Simply put, this sword technique is actually a trigger that can activate the power of the Heaven-Burning Fragments.

Without the support of the Heaven-Burning Fragments, this sword technique is not top-tier, but if it can ignite the Heaven-Burning Tribulation Fire, it will be an unparalleled divine sword capable of annihilating the starry sky!

Ye Chen possessed extraordinary comprehension; in the blink of an eye, he had grasped the profound meaning of the Great Heavenly Demon Explosion Sword.

At this moment, Jin's body transformed into a streak of fire and vanished into the fragments of the Burning Heaven.

Then, the entire fragment of the Burning Heaven, with a hiss, tore through the void and flew rapidly toward the Corona Heavenly Pearl in Ye Chen's hand, just like a moth drawn to a flame.

"I'll use this dzi bead as my container for now!"

Ember's voice rang out.

The entire fragment of the Burning Sky, hissing and crackling, was embedded into the Corona Dzi Bead.

The Sun Corona Bead is sacred and glorious, while the Burning Sky Fragment is violent and evil. The two represent the power of light and darkness respectively. When they collide, the violent energy explodes.

Ye Chen's expression changed slightly, he loosened his grip, and floated backward.

The entire corona bead was violently surging with energy, with holy and radiant light colliding and mixing with scarlet and violent flames.

The massive explosion instantly created countless universes, which were then annihilated.

After an unknown amount of time, the shockwaves from the explosion gradually subsided.

The Corona Dzi Bead still shone with brilliant holy light, but an additional object had appeared on it. That was the Fragment of the Burning Heaven, which had been inlaid and fused into the Corona Dzi Bead, like an indelible scar.

"Ah, this aura of light is truly repulsive, yet it seems somewhat comforting."

Jin's voice came out, sounding both pained and somewhat pleased.

The power of holy light was a deadly force to him.

However, the baptism of holy light washed away the evil, violent, and fiery aura of the Burning Heaven fragments, alleviating some of the pain he suffered.

It was like scraping the bone to remove poison; while he was in pain, the scorching fire poison in his body was constantly being washed away and evaporated.

Ye Chen sensed something was amiss, because if the power of the Corona Bead and the Burning Heaven Fragment clashed and repelled each other, then in the end, these two forces would be completely consumed by each other.

In other words, the Corona Dzi Bead and the Burning Sky Fragment may very well exhaust their energy and turn into nothingness!
These two supreme treasures will eventually be reduced to ashes!

"If you use the Corona Dzi Bead as a container, I'm afraid the Heaven-Burning Fragments and the Corona Dzi Bead will destroy each other and turn to ashes!"

Ye Chen said.

Jin chuckled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen in the short term."

"If you don't want to waste such a precious resource, then hurry up and kill the Golden Feather Emperor and give me a new body!"

Helpless, Ye Chen had no choice but to put away the Corona Dzi Bead.

He thought of the welcoming ceremony for the founding emperor, which would be held soon.

At that time, Emperor Jinyu will most likely come to sabotage it.

This is a crisis, but also a tremendous opportunity!

"With the combined power of Immortal Venerable Mirror Stream and Senior Ren, I might be able to kill Emperor Golden Feather!"

Ye Chen thought to himself that with the combined power of Immortal Venerable Jingliu and Ren Feifan, he might really have a chance to kill Emperor Jinyu!

Thinking of this, Ye Chen was also somewhat excited.

If he could get rid of Emperor Jinyu, he would eliminate one of his threats.

Rumbling--

At this moment, the volcano began to shake violently, and chunks of rocks and lava fell down.

This place is about to collapse.

Ye Chen had already collected the fragments of the Heaven-Burning Blaze. The surrounding tribulation flames were rapidly extinguishing, and the air was cooling from the high temperature. This rapid change in temperature triggered a series of explosions.

As Ye Chen left the volcano, he saw that the flames of calamity outside were also rapidly extinguishing.

Many of the calamity flames were absorbed by the earth veins of the Sun and Moon Dao Court.

The earth veins of the Sun and Moon Dao Court are inherently capable of mitigating calamities. However, previously, due to the presence of the Heaven-Burning Fragments, the calamity fire burned endlessly, making it impossible to resolve.

But now, Ye Chen has taken the fragments of the Burning Heaven. Without the source of the calamity, the leaping tribulation fire on the ground has become water without a source and has been quickly absorbed by the earth's veins.

The calamity of fire that plagued the Sun and Moon Dao Court is about to subside.

The vast sea of ​​white bones and blood, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, dried up as well. Many skeletons lost their vitality, collapsed to the ground, and mixed into the soil.

Ye Chen thought to himself that these skeletons were left behind by powerful beings from beyond the world. If they were refined into corpse puppets or resurrected using fragments of the Impure Earth, they would be a powerful asset.

Thinking this, Ye Chen swept his hand, pulling a large number of corpses into the Demon Prison Life Star for temporary storage.

Seeing this, Jin chuckled and said, "You've got some nerve. Among these corpses are beings of Chaos and No Divination. Don't revive them lightly, or you'll be doomed if you attract any disaster."

Ye Chen asked, "What is this 'Chaotic Without Divination'?"

Jin said, "You can think of them as beings like extraterrestrial demons. All things in heaven and earth have attributes, and humans also have attributes based on the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams."

"But some mysterious beings exist without hexagrams or forms; they are called the Chaos Without Hexagrams."

"The Great Dao was born from chaos. In the beginning, the Dao was without trigrams or forms, a state of utter chaos."

"That was a world of foolishness and blindness, a world before the world."

"Some beings born from chaos and mystery are as weak as insects, while others are terrifying evil gods who explode at the mere sight of them, and are not even to be touched by the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss."

"In short, be careful and don't come into contact with those who are 'chaotic and without divination'!"

"My blazing fire has crushed some weak, chaotic beings, but these weak beings may also trigger the secrets of heaven and attract some unpredictable evil gods. You must not provoke the descent of evil gods!"

His words were solemn, and he was also full of apprehension towards the "chaotic and unpredictable one".

Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine. The Chaos Without Divination, the Evil God, an existence that even the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss were unwilling to touch—how terrifying was that?
"understood."

He kept a close watch and dared not let his guard down.
