Chapter 12636 Blood of the Abyss

Chapter 12636 Blood of the Abyss
The path of the Crimson Moon Goddess originates from the moon.

The moon is one of the twelve ancient divine pathways. The moon's radiance can suppress the unpredictable state of chaotic energy, calming it down and transforming it into a vast and profound energy, which can then be used for one's own benefit.

At this moment, Ye Chen somehow connected with an ancient chaotic energy!
Even the tombstone of the Crimson Moon Goddess in the Reincarnation Graveyard resonated with him, granting him even greater power!

At this moment, the destructive power of Ye Chen's sword had reached the ceiling of the Starry Sky Realm! Enough to crush Li Yejun!
Click!

puff!

Ye Chen slashed down with his sword, a terrifying killing blow that cleaved Li Yejun and his sword in two.

Even when Li Yejun unleashed his chaotic energy, he was still no match for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's "Crimson Moon One-Slash" was too fierce, and even carried the suppression of ancient chaotic energy. It directly crushed Li Yejun, and even the causal connection completely destroyed the life blood he left in the original Dao embryo!
With this, Li Yejun is completely dead, with no possibility of resurrection!

When Fairy Fuyao saw Ye Chen kill Li Yejun with a single sword strike, she was stunned.

"God..."

She never expected Ye Chen to be so powerful.

You must know that Li Yejun is one of the top three strongest among the eight true disciples of the End God Temple. Even she has to avoid his sharp edge.

Ye Chen, however, killed Li Yejun with a single sword strike!

Ye Chen's cultivation level appears to be only at the eighth level of the Divine Illumination Realm, but his true strength is beyond imagination!

"Lord of Reincarnation, come quickly and help!"

"Jin over there gritted his teeth and shouted!"

He knew Ye Chen was powerful and had many trump cards, so he wasn't surprised to see Ye Chen kill Li Yejun.

At this moment, he was fighting against the Endless Heavenly Demon, and he was finding it increasingly difficult to hold on.

The power of the Boundless Heavenly Demon before us, though far less than that of beings beyond this world, is still a terrifying existence.

In fact, Jhin is not afraid of a head-on confrontation.

But the most terrifying thing about the future Heavenly Demon is that its body is shrouded in chaotic energy, extremely filthy and foul, and has a terrible stench of Heavenly Demon corpses.

With Jhin needing to focus on defense, he couldn't use his full strength, and the battle gradually turned against him.

He would have been dead if it weren't for the protection of the Black Tower.

Meanwhile, the endless demon grew more and more excited and energetic as the fight progressed, its combat power constantly increasing, and its body growing larger and larger.

Just as Ye Chen killed Li Yejun, the Heavenly Demon's body had already grown to a height of a thousand feet. Its towering body was covered with corpse spots, making it look like a zombie king that was wreaking havoc on the world!

Ye Chen was also horrified when he saw it.

This celestial demon is so terrifying that it is absolutely impossible to defeat it by brute force alone.

"This...this...Li Yejun is dead, why hasn't the Heavenly Demon gone back yet?"

"Could it be that this demon has developed self-awareness?"

Ni Changjun looked terrified, her voice trembling.

She had originally thought that with Li Yejun dead, the Heavenly Demon would leave and return to the Temple of the End.

But unexpectedly, the demon became more and more excited as the fight went on, as if it had developed self-awareness.

"It's too dangerous here, Lord of Reincarnation, let's go."

Seeing that things were not going well, Fairy Fuyao spread out her pair of Wind Wings and reached out to take Ye Chen away.

This demon is too terrifying; it's impossible to fight against it. Even if someone stays here and inhales the stench of the demon's corpse, they risk collapsing and dying.

"No, I can't abandon Brother Jin!"

Ye Chen did not leave alone; Jin was still fighting a fierce battle, and he couldn't just abandon him.

After all, if Jin hadn't held off Tianmo, Ye Chen would have been doomed if Li Yejun and Tianmo had attacked together.

"Brother Jin, I'm here to help you!"

Ye Chen strode forward with his sword in hand. Looking at the towering body of the Heavenly Demon, which was thousands of feet tall, a thousand thoughts raced through his mind, and countless laws and principles flowed in his heart.

In the end, his Dao heart was refined, and all the thousands of methods and paths were reduced to just one word.

The word "burial"!

If you were to ask Ye Chen what his most fundamental Daoist principle is, it would naturally be the Reincarnation Dao.

The core of the reincarnation method is the word "burial"!

"Use the Burial Technique to suppress them!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, made a hand seal, and a huge "burial" character was born out of thin air. It then transformed into a huge palm print, which fiercely suppressed the Heavenly Demon.

This is Ye Chen's Dao!

The way to bury!
All that is dark and corrupt will be destroyed.

We must sweep away all demons and monsters!
Invincible!
If brute force alone cannot defeat the Heavenly Demon, then we must use the purest laws and the most ultimate Daoist methods.

The ultimate annihilation!
Ye Chen's flesh and blood withered away almost instantly; all his life essence was used to perform the Burial Technique.

I will burn myself to ashes, annihilate all darkness, and sweep away all evil!
boom--

Ye Chen struck the Heavenly Demon with a powerful palm strike.

The demon's thousand-foot-tall body staggered and nearly fell, letting out a painful groan from his throat.

Ye Chen's palm strike was too heavy, carrying the might of the Burial Technique, which was meant to annihilate everything. It caused the Heavenly Demon's body to crack open and its very essence to be injured. Dark, turbid pus flowed out from the cracks in its body.

"Ah, no..."

Jin looked back at Ye Chen in utter astonishment. He had called Ye Chen for help, intending to share some of the burden so that the two of them could take the opportunity to escape.

But to everyone's surprise, Ye Chen's palm strike, with the might of the Great Burial Annihilation Law, actually cracked the Heavenly Demon's body!
This is not an attack based on brute force in martial arts, but rather an overwhelming force of laws.

It's the crushing power of the Burial Technique!
The Burial Mantra contains the supreme truth of burying and destroying all darkness and sweeping away all demons and monsters. It has a great restraining effect on evil creatures like the Heavenly Demon!

However, this palm strike came at a huge cost, instantly draining Ye Chen's life essence.

"You are……"

The Heavenly Demon, stunned by the beating, stared blankly at Ye Chen with his empty, numb, and incredibly cloudy eyes.

He actually managed to utter a hoarse and sorrowful syllable from his throat.

Looking into the eyes of that demon, Ye Chen was startled, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

He felt that this demon knew him.

The next instant, an even more astonishing scene unfolded.

Two lines of bloody tears streamed from the Heavenly Demon's eyes. He seemed to have regained consciousness and realized something, looking at Ye Chen with an incredibly complex expression, and managed to utter a difficult cry:

"The future... the Great Demon Lord."

"Ah, Great Demon Lord..."

Finally, he uttered two more syllables and called out, "...Dad..."

After calling out "Dad," the Heavenly Demon seemed to have all his strength drained away, and his massive body crashed down, stirring up countless waves.

Then, his body, like a phantom bubble, slowly faded and disappeared in place, eventually vanishing completely.

Ye Chen stared in disbelief, his mind going completely blank.

In the darkness, he seemed to have glimpsed something, glimpsed the ultimate future!

Just now, that demon called him "Great Demon Lord" and "Father," which instantly triggered a tremendous karmic connection.

Ye Chen's gaze seemed to travel through time and space, reaching the ultimate future.

He saw an incredibly tragic and dark scene: he sat on the Heavenly Emperor's dragon throne, dressed in a black robe, surrounded by demonic energy.

And kneeling beneath him were countless demons.

Countless demons, trillions and billions, filled the universe and all the realms, bowing down to Ye Chen and calling him "Great Demon Lord, Great Demon Lord!"

Then, Ye Chen, in the guise of a demon emperor, led countless demons and rushed towards a ball of light like moths to a flame.

The scene ended there. Ye Chen, having witnessed these scenes, felt a tearing pain in his head.

"what is this?"

"My future self became the Great Demon Lord?"

“I have become a demon, and even all living beings in the heavens have become demons.”

"Everyone has become a demon, and I am the Great Demon Lord..."

Ye Chen muttered to himself, feeling somewhat dazed. The impact of these images on him was immense.

He couldn't believe it.

As if guided by divine inspiration, Ye Chen pulled out a blood bead.

That was the Heavenly Demon Blood Bead that Ren Feifan gave him before he went to the Outer Heaven.

Once this blood bead is refined, one can embark on the path to becoming a [Heavenly Demon]!

Originally, Ye Chen did not dare to refine it rashly, fearing that he would be devoured by the chaotic energy of the Heavenly Demon.

But now, his mind is clear and serene, and he feels detached from worldly affairs.

He naturally grasped the Heavenly Demon Blood Pearl and refined it in an instant.

The blood droplet transformed into a primal demonic energy that seeped into Ye Chen's body.

This demonic energy is from the [Heavenly Demon] path, and it's not very strong.

Because the [Heavenly Demon] path was created by Ren Feifan in the future.

However, Ren Feifan himself has not fully mastered this approach.

The blood droplet he left for Ye Chen could at most allow Ye Chen to barely step into the threshold of the Heavenly Demon realm. As for the future path of cultivation, Ren Feifan could not fully fathom it.

It's even possible that Ye Chen will fall into depravity, lose consciousness, and become a monster who only knows how to kill.

But now that Ye Chen has refined this Heavenly Demon Blood Pearl, it's not as simple as just stepping into the threshold of the Heavenly Demon realm.

He even had a feeling of instantly becoming an expert, a master of his craft!

It's as if Ye Chen himself is a demon, but he has forgotten his true identity.

The Heavenly Demon Blood Bead that Ren Feifan left him was a key that instantly unlocked Ye Chen's memories, allowing him to recall them.

So, I am the Heavenly Demon.

I am the Great Demon Lord, the supreme ruler who commands billions of demons!

The world has been enveloped in eternal light, and all living beings have become lifeless and turned into light.

My lover, my friend, has also become light.

I will lead the demons and rescue everyone from that light!
A strong sense of destiny welled up in Ye Chen's heart, and he awakened his memories.

This is actually a memory that never existed and never happened.

It's a memory of the future!

He communicated with the future in the present world, glimpsed the ultimate future, and awakened this memory of the future!

Everything fell into place naturally, and Ye Chen once again embarked on the path of the Heavenly Demon.

Without needing anyone's guidance, this path seemed tailor-made for him.

At this moment, Ye Chen had become a demon.

Jin, Fairy Fuyao, and Lord Nishang watched this scene with utter astonishment.

Ye Chen's body slowly floated up, covered by a jet-black Demon Emperor's robe. His body was surrounded by ancient and primordial chaos energy, and he exuded a tragic, desolate, and incomparably vast aura.

He was a demon, but he became a demon who saved all living beings, even at the cost of burning himself out!
He is both a celestial demon and a saint.

Heavenly Sage!
Jin was completely stunned, and even wanted to kneel down before Ye Chen on the spot.

On the surface, Ye Chen's cultivation level did not seem to have made much of a breakthrough; he had only advanced from the initial stage of the eighth level of the Divine Illumination Realm to the middle stage of the eighth level.

However, his temperament underwent a complete transformation, exuding an aura of supreme demonic power, as if he could crush everything.

Neon Lady and Fairy Fuyao couldn't resist any longer, their bodies went limp, and they immediately knelt down before Ye Chen.

Only Jin, relying on his strong Dao heart, did not kneel down and submit.

"This kid is really weird!"

"Has he also become a Heavenly Demon?"

"Why is his gaze still clear?"

Jin gritted his teeth, sensing that Ye Chen was no ordinary person; he couldn't see through him at all.

How did Ye Chen suddenly become a demon?
Moreover, Ye Chen in his demon form had eyes that were even clearer than in his normal state, with a kind of desolate sorrow that showed compassion for all humanity.

Even the distant divine source of light, that half-sun, with its pure white sunlight, could not suppress Ye Chen's demonic energy.

At this moment, Ye Chen looks even more powerful than the Endless Heavenly Demon from before!
It's unclear how much time passed before Ye Chen's demonic energy gradually subsided, and he returned to his normal form, slowly descending from the sky.

"Hey kid, what's wrong with you? Have you been corrupted by chaos?"

Jin rushed forward and said incredulously.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "No, well, something just happened to me, but it's nothing serious. Let's get some rest for the night and go look for the Stone of Destiny tomorrow."

Everything that just happened, the glimpse into the ultimate future, and the realization that he had become the Great Demon Lord—when Ye Chen, who had now regained consciousness, recalled it all, it felt like a dream.

Ye Chen, who himself wields the divine power of time, is well aware that there are countless possibilities for the future.

His transformation into the Great Demon Lord is just one possibility; it's not something that will actually happen.

Therefore, he quickly calmed down and stopped having any obsessions or wild thoughts.

What Ye Chen is certain of now is that he has embarked on the path of the Heavenly Demon, and he doesn't need to worry about getting lost!

This Heavenly Demon Path allows Ye Chen to unleash a powerful aura in an instant, thereby suppressing his enemies!
Without a doubt, Ye Chen, having embarked on the path of the Heavenly Demon, has gained another trump card.

"Never mind, judging from your appearance, it seems you've only advanced a small level, and you don't seem to have truly become a demon. It's probably just a little bit of chaotic pollution, right?"

Jin frowned as he looked at Ye Chen. He was genuinely afraid that Ye Chen would become a Heavenly Demon, take control of the Heavenly Demon Dao, and suppress him in turn.

However, it now appears that Ye Chen's cultivation has only advanced by a small level, reaching the middle stage of the eighth level of the Divine Illumination Realm.

In Jin's view, this level of cultivation was not enough to threaten him.

Although Ye Chen has many trump cards, he also has so-called trump cards, and he is not afraid.

His only fear was chaos and the Heavenly Demon!
He could rest assured as long as Ye Chen failed to master these powers.

The island had collapsed, so Ye Chen and Jin found another island to rest and rejuvenate.

When everyone woke up the next morning.

Ye Chen put away the dark sky he had created, narrowed his eyes, gazed at the distant ocean, and said to Jin:

"Brother Jin, are we setting off?"

After a night's rest, Jin was also radiant, his eyes filled with excitement and fervor, and said:

"Of course, we must get the Stone of Destiny today! No one can take it from me!"

Ye Chen sensed a potential danger and asked Ni Changjun, "Ni Chang, are you going back first?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ni Changjun finally said, "No, I'll go with you, Ye Chen."

"Hehe, the Stone of Destiny is an extremely rare treasure. There are probably other rare and precious materials around it. I also want to get a share of it."

Jin wanted to monopolize the Stone of Destiny, and Ni Changjun didn't dare to snatch it away, but she had a great interest in the other rare and precious materials.

"So, Fairy Fuyao, are you going back?"

Ye Chen then looked at Fairy Fuyao and asked.

Fairy Fuyao's expression was somewhat complicated; the scene of Ye Chen turning into a demon last night had left a deep impression on her.

But for some reason, as a righteous fairy, she felt no disgust when she saw Ye Chen become a demon. Instead, she felt a strange admiration and wanted to kneel at Ye Chen's feet and be at his beck and call.

"I will follow you too, Lord of Reincarnation."

"I want to see what the legendary Stone of Destiny looks like."

Fairy Fuyao bit her lip lightly and said.

"Alright, if you want to come, then come. It'll be good for everyone to look out for each other."

Ye Chen said.

Once the agreement was reached, Ye Chen, Jin, Fairy Fuyao, and Lord Nishang set off.

The ordinary disciples under Fairy Fuyao and Lord Nishang were dismissed by the two women.

The four of them trekked across the sea at great speed, venturing ever deeper into the Red Sea.

Fairy Fuyao frowned and said, "If we keep going forward, we'll reach the Inner Sea."

Ye Chen asked in confusion, "Inland Sea?"

Fairy Fuyao said, "Yes, I have investigated. This Crimson Sea can be roughly divided into an inner sea and an outer sea, with a Corrupted Blood Zone in between. That Corrupted Blood Zone can be called a forbidden zone, with a very strong abyssal aura."

"After crossing the forbidden zone of rotten blood, we will reach the Inland Sea."

"The seawater in the inland sea is normal, not blood-red, because it is close to the source of light, where all darkness has been evaporated."

As she spoke, Fairy Fuyao pointed to the half-sun on the distant horizon.

The most striking sight at the Red Sea is not the red ocean itself, but the half-sun!
That was an incomparably vast and powerful source of light, and it might even be the embodiment of the beginning of time!
"The Inland Sea is filled with a sacred glow; if you go inside, you will be instantly vaporized into light."

"Well, but with the Corrupted Blood Forbidden Zone in between, it's impossible to reach the Inner Sea."

"Is the Stone of Destiny that this fellow Daoist is seeking located in the Corrupted Blood Forbidden Zone or the Inner Sea?"

Fairy Fuyao looked at Jin. If the Stone of Destiny that Jin was looking for was in the Corrupted Blood Forbidden Zone or the Inner Sea, she would definitely not follow him there.

Because that's practically suicide!

Jin licked his lips and said, "We're almost there. It shouldn't be in some forbidden zone of rotten blood or inland sea, right?"

He increased his speed and continued flying forward.

Ye Chen, Fairy Fuyao, and Lady Ni Chang had no choice but to follow.

After flying for a while, Ye Chen noticed that the surrounding air had become viscous, as if blood was spreading, and he could smell the blood in his nose.

The Red Sea beneath my feet had turned murky, as if blood and filth were mixed in with it.

Furthermore, one could even see the figures of many enormous sea monsters and monstrous creatures ahead, each one towering like a mountain, their roars echoing from time to time.

The Crimson Sea is teeming with monsters, but Ye Chen and his companions are so powerful that ordinary monsters would immediately flee at the mere scent of their presence, daring not to offend them.

Therefore, Ye Chen and his companions had not been attacked by any demonic beasts along the way. However, upon arriving here, the enormous sea monsters and sea beasts in front of them showed no intention of giving way. Instead, they cast wary and cold glances at Ye Chen and his companions.

"Ah, we're almost at the Corrupted Blood Forbidden Zone!"

"There are so many powerful monsters here!"

Fairy Fuyao looked solemn, drew her long sword, and waited intently.

"Don't panic, the Stone of Destiny is just ahead."

Jin's eyes burned with fervor. He licked his lips and continued running, until he saw a huge stone island ahead.

On that rocky island, every single stone is a rare spiritual stone. The island also has many exposed mineral veins, shimmering with rosy light and flowing with spiritual energy, clearly all of which are top-quality minerals.

Both Fairy Fuyao and Lord Nishang were captivated upon seeing this.

This is clearly an island overflowing with spiritual stones, rich in resources.

However, many enormous demonic beasts roamed the island.

The monsters were numerous, but they did not fight each other. The area around the stone island was filled with the smell of decay and blood, and the air was filled with a strange abyssal blood aura.

This blood essence contains abundant energy, enough to sustain the survival of demonic beasts.

They absorbed the blood energy of the abyss, and each of the demonic beasts grew incredibly large.

"There's a very strong abyssal aura here!"

"It seems to be the blood of the abyss, surging beneath the sea!"

Ye Chen frowned. He smelled the blood and it seemed very familiar.

It is the blood of the Abyss God!

How could there be blood from the abyss here?

Ye Chen was puzzled, and looking at the half-sun on the distant sea, he felt even more strange.

This red sea is a place where the atmosphere of the abyss and the primordial world intertwine. What is the reason for its formation?
