Chapter 12639 Gray Fog

Chapter 12639 Gray Fog
Fairy Pool Paradise?

Ye Chen's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he felt a very strange sense of destiny.

He felt that the dreamscape of the Abyss God, that paradise of immortals, was not created out of thin air, but seemed to have a source.

And this source is his reincarnation graveyard!

"Did my reincarnation graveyard eventually become a paradise on earth?"

Ye Chen had a feeling that cause and effect were confused and reversed. If he thought about it more deeply, he would probably fall into endless nothingness.

He immediately shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

After calming himself down, he left with Ye Xingcai.

Ye Xingcai gripped Ye Chen's arm tightly with her slender hands, her petite and delicate body almost wanting to stick to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was her only support, and she couldn't bear to let go of him.

Seeing this, Fairy Fuyao was also quite surprised and looked at Ye Chen and Ye Xingcai, saying, "So you two know each other?"

This is truly bizarre and incredible; there is actually a forest deep in the ocean.

Deep in the forest, there was a young girl, surrounded by endless monsters.

And this poor, helpless girl actually knew Ye Chen, and even called him "uncle".

Even seeing it with her own eyes, Fairy Fuyao felt it was too bizarre, as if she were in a dream.

"Well, things are a bit complicated, and there are many causes and effects involved. Fairy, I will explain it to you when I have the chance in the future."

Ye Chen sighed.

Fairy Fuyao quickly replied, "It's alright, Lord of Reincarnation, you don't need to call me Fairy, just call me Fuyao."

Ye Xingcai blinked, glanced at Fairy Fuyao, and said, "This sister is so beautiful! Uncle Ye, is she your wife?"

In fact, although Fairy Fuyao's appearance is beautiful and elegant, it is not earth-shattering. It is just that her gentle and refreshing temperament is very attractive and makes people feel good about her at first glance.

"Uh..." Ye Chen hesitated to agree, and Fairy Fuyao blushed.

Ye Xingcai was quite clever and said, "Hmm, if she's not my wife, then she must be someone very close to me, right?"

Ye Chen coughed lightly, but did not answer. He only said, "Let's leave here first."

He pushed off the ground with his feet and swam upwards.
Ye Xingcai and Fairy Fuyao quickly followed behind Ye Chen.

The three had only been swimming upstream for a short while when they heard roars of beasts coming from the forest below. The sea monsters and sea beasts from before were now baring their teeth and glaring fiercely as they charged out.

But they stopped halfway through their journey and then split to the sides.

A massive figure slowly floated out.

The demonic beasts on both sides, upon seeing this figure, all showed expressions of fear and awe, bowing their heads one by one.

It was a humanoid figure shrouded in thick gray mist, exuding a dark and eerie aura. Gray mist flying swords hovered around it, and its face was completely hidden in the gray mist, with only a pair of crimson eyes showing.

He stared blankly at Ye Chen, as if scrutinizing him.

Ye Chen suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if scorpions and centipedes were crawling all over his back.

This figure in the gray mist was extremely strange, appearing from nowhere. The gray mist swirling around him gave Ye Chen a strong sense of familiarity.

It actually shares the same origin as the gray mist fragments of the Black Queen Mother!
However, in addition to the gray mist, this figure was also surrounded by wisps of chaotic energy!
He appears to be the leader of all the demonic beasts!

Ye Chen immediately became alert, gripping the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword tightly in his hand.

The Fairy Fuyao and Ye Xingcai, standing to the side, also stared wide-eyed in horror, but dared not utter a sound.

The figure shrouded in gray mist exuded a powerful and terrifying pressure, like gray mist obscuring the sky and covering everything.

The power of the gray fog and chaos directly suppressed Fairy Fuyao and Ye Xingcai to the point of suffocation.

Only Ye Chen was able to maintain a stable Dao heart.

"Well……"

"Is it... the Great Demon Lord...?"

The gray mist figure emitted a hoarse, murky, and strange voice devoid of emotion, and its pair of empty, crimson eyes darted around.

In the end, he turned and drifted away without attacking Ye Chen.

As soon as he left, the numerous sea monsters and beasts, while barking and roaring defiantly at Ye Chen, also followed him away.

Soon, the scene returned to silence.

After catching their breath, Fairy Fuyao and Ye Xingcai felt weak all over and clung tightly to Ye Chen to keep from collapsing.

Fairy Fuyao broke out in a cold sweat and gasped, "Who was that just now? What a terrifying aura!"

Ye Xingcai, her face pale with panic, exclaimed, "It's the Lord of the Gray Mist! One of the Ten Great Evil Gods!"

Ye Chen asked curiously, "Do you know that person's background?"

The gray mist figure appeared abruptly and then vanished without a trace, its purpose and purpose unknown. It even called Ye Chen "Great Demon Lord".

Ye Chen was unaware of her identity. But upon hearing Ye Xingcai's words, he learned that the other party was actually the Lord of Gray Mist, one of the Ten Evil Gods.

Ye Xingcai took a deep breath and said, "That's not a human, it's an evil god! A chaotic evil god!"

"One of the Ten Evil Gods, the Lord of the Gray Mist!"

"I've heard Father mention the Lord of the Gray Mist. That evil god was supposed to have vanished, so how come he's reappeared now?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen frowned and focused on calculating the cause and effect.

He estimated that the decline of Yin and Yang led to the resurgence of chaos, which is why some ancient evil gods are now gradually reviving.

However, Ye Chen couldn't deduce the specific cause and effect; there were too few clues.

All he knew was that the Lord of the Gray Mist was no ordinary being.

Fortunately, the opponent did not launch an attack, probably because the power of chaos was not strong enough.

It could also be because Ye Chen's identity is very special and related to the future "Great Demon Lord".

But no matter what, it's dangerous here.

"Get out first."

Without hesitation, Ye Chen immediately left with Fairy Fuyao and Ye Xingcai.

Now that he is in charge of the "Immortal Pool Spiritual Spring", he no longer needs to activate his Heavenly Demon form. He can simply mobilize the spiritual spring to deal with the various calamities in the Corrupted Blood Forbidden Zone sea.

Soon, Ye Chen returned to the stone island with the two women.

"You're back! How did it go?"

"Hey, why is there another person?"

Ni Changjun was waiting on the shore. When she saw Ye Chen return, she immediately went forward to greet him.

But when she saw that there was a girl beside Ye Chen and Fairy Fuyao, she was very surprised.

Ye Xingcai gripped Ye Chen's arm tightly, shrinking slightly behind him, curiously and warily observing Ni Changjun and the world around her.

Then, she saw a half-circle of pure white sun on the distant horizon.

Upon seeing the half-round, pure white sun, Ye Xingcai's body trembled instantly. Grabbing Ye Chen's hand, she cried out:

"Mother, it's mother!"

"Uncle Ye, look, Mommy's over there!"

"That's her heart!"

After a pause, Ye Xingcai was struck dumb again, her lips turning white. "Ah, Mother... is there only one heart left?"

"She...she's dead?"

"Is this sea... is it her tears?"

She stared blankly at the surrounding sea, her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Xingcai, what did you say?"

"Was that sun actually your mother's heart?"

Ye Chen hurriedly pulled Ye Xingcai up, feeling utterly incredulous.

So that sun was actually Ye Xingcai's mother?

Yes, such a powerful and magnificent divine source of light, even more powerful than the Corona Dzi Bead, could only be an incarnation of the Primordial Beginning.

Ye Xingcai's mother can also be considered an incarnation of the Primordial Beginning.

Her mother's heart transformed into a pure white, sacred sun, illuminating the Crimson Sea. Although it was bizarre, it was not impossible.

This red sea was also formed from the tears of Ye Xingcai's mother.

Tears are salty, so they turned into the sea!
Ye Chen got goosebumps all over his body, feeling that the cause and effect had been almost figured out.

Who's making all that noise?

A slightly angry voice came from behind.

However, Jin, who was sitting cross-legged in the Destiny Stone mine, silently refining the Destiny Stone, was awakened by Ye Xingcai's noise.

"Hey, where did this little girl come from?"

Jin was quite surprised to see a woman beside Ye Chen.

Ye Xingcai was a little scared and nervous when she saw Jin, so she shrank behind Ye Chen.

"Brother Jin."

Ye Chen called out, thinking of settling his karmic debt with Jin and parting ways from now on.

After all, he had already accompanied Jin into the Crimson Sea and successfully found the Stone of Destiny, thus fulfilling their promise.

Next, Ye Chen planned to completely sever ties with Jin and never have any contact with him again.

Jin is a capricious person; you should never befriend him.

"Hmm, Ye Chen, you have the aura of the Destiny Stone on you. Take it out."

Jin looked at Ye Chen, stood up, walked over directly, and asked Ye Chen for the Stone of Destiny.

Ye Chen was taken aback and asked, "What did you say?"

Jin was taken aback and said, "You went to the bottom of the sea to help me find the Stone of Destiny, didn't you?"

"Now that you've found it, give it to me."

Seeing his self-righteous attitude, Ye Chen was a little confused and said, "This is what I wanted myself, I didn't find it for you."

Jin was also stunned and said, "How could you go back on your word?"

Ye Chen said, "Where have I gone back on my word?"

Jin said, "We have an agreement. All the Destiny Stones are mine, and you can take the other spirit stones and secret mines. I only want the Destiny Stones."

Ye Chen was speechless and said, "The Destiny Stone on the island is yours. I risked my life to find it at the bottom of the sea, so it's naturally mine. How can I give it to you?"

Jin let out a soft "Ah!", his facial muscles twitching, a sinister glint appearing in his eyes, and said:
"You betrayed me."

Ye Chen's face darkened, and he said, "How did I betray you? You're a madman, you're just making excuses!"

He never expected that Jin would be so greedy. Not only did he monopolize all the Destiny Stones on the island, but he also wanted to take the one from Ye Chen.

Ye Chen risked his life to dig this out from the seabed, and Jin didn't contribute a single bit. Now he wants to get a share of the spoils? That makes no sense.

No, he doesn't want a share; he wants to take it all!
Upon hearing Ye Chen's voice, Jin froze, feigning innocence, and said:

"You actually insulted me?"

"I treated you like a brother. I risked my life to protect you from the Black Queen Mother. And now you want to betray me?"

Ye Chen was so angry that he couldn't say anything, and all he felt was rage.

Jin was also furious, feeling that Ye Chen had betrayed him, and said, "If you take out all the Destiny Stones, we can still be friends."

Ye Chen's forehead veins throbbed as he said, "How can you be so greedy? I painstakingly found this myself deep in the sea, how can I give it all to you?"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Fine, I'll give you half, and we'll be even from now on!"

He didn't want to argue with Jin anymore; he just wanted to settle their score.

"No, you promised to give me everything, not a single stone fragment can be missing."

"You are not qualified to be in charge!"

Jin shook his head, but he remained stubborn.

"That's unreasonable!"

"I'll give you half; take it or leave it!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, threw out half of the Destiny Stone, and turned to leave.

Ni Changjun, Fuyao Fairy, and Ye Xingcai looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and could only follow Ye Chen.

Jin stared at the Destiny Stone that Ye Chen had thrown out, his face twitching, feeling a sense of humiliation and betrayal. He roared:

"Want to go?"

"You dare betray me, I will kill you today!"

After saying that, Jin suddenly struck out with his palm, creating a shocking wave of energy. The palm wind tore through the air and exploded towards Ye Chen.

After refining many Destiny Stones, even though those stones had many impurities, they still allowed him to break through his strength considerably. This palm strike had the flair of the Golden Feather Emperor at his peak.

It is freedom, it is slaughter, it is ruthlessness!
What is freedom? It is having no taboos, doing whatever you want, and doing whatever you want.

Jin wanted the Stone of Destiny, but Ye Chen refused to give it to him. Now, all he wanted was to kill Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was shocked. He hadn't expected that even after he had backed down to this extent, Jin would still make a move.

"This madman!"

Enraged, Ye Chen immediately unleashed his Heavenly Demon form.

With a boom, surging demonic energy roared and Ye Chen's body rose a thousand feet high, towering like a mountain, his demonic power like a prison.

Endless, ancient, and primordial chaos energy swirled around him, along with countless vengeful spirits, countless skulls, black lotus flowers, and endless, bizarre demonic manifestations that constantly appeared and flickered on Ye Chen's body.

The three women, Fuyao Fairy, Ye Xingcai, and Ni Changjun, were instantly sent flying by Ye Chen's demonic aura.

Fortunately, Fairy Fuyao reacted quickly and used the Xunfeng Technique to pull Ni Changjun and Ye Xingcai far away.

Enraged, Ye Chen, now under the influence of demonic power, possessed a ferocious aura, resembling a supreme demon god—it was terrifying.

His body erupted with surging demonic energy, causing the seas outside the island to be stirred up by countless tsunamis, which swept across the area with a thunderous roar and terrifying force.

Jin struck with his palm, but could not shake Ye Chen's demonic aura.

"Heavenly Demon? You dare to become a demon? Aren't you afraid of death? I'll kill you!"

Jin snorted coldly, feeling a bit wary upon seeing Ye Chen in his demonic form.

However, Ye Chen was surrounded by chaotic energy. This posture could not last long, otherwise Ye Chen would suffer from the pollution of chaos.

"Black Tower Tyrant Formation, activate!"

With a roar, Jin's body rose rapidly, transforming into a towering figure thousands of feet tall. A massive black tower appeared behind him, and he exuded the aura of a tyrant. Tyrant fire burst forth from his pores, scorching the heavens and the earth.

Of the twelve Ancient God Paths, Jhin mainly wanted to cultivate the Black Tower Path, as he wanted to be a good person. However, the Tyrant Path, which he had come into contact with, was extremely powerful, and he did not abandon it.

At this moment, the immense pressure of the dual divine paths erupted from Jin's body, and it was not much different from Ye Chen's Heavenly Demon form.

Ye Chen thought to himself that Jin must have absorbed the energy of the Destiny Stone, which is why he became stronger than before.

However, when he fully unleashes his Demonic form, he is on par with Jhin!
However, Ye Chen's cultivation level was only at the middle stage of the eighth level of the Divine Illumination Realm. When he fully activated his Heavenly Demon form, he felt endless demonic power pressing down on him, and his bones and muscles were torn apart by pain. He was clearly unable to withstand it.

Ye Chen couldn't maintain this extreme demonic form for long, otherwise his body would collapse and shatter.

"Heavenly Dao Black Tower, suppress it for me!"

With eyes wide open, Jin unleashed a massive wave of his hand, sending a black tower hurtling towards Ye Chen, carrying an overwhelming pressure from the Heavenly Dao.

After all, he possessed the strength of the Heavenly Dao Realm, far surpassing Ye Chen in cultivation. At this moment, with his power unleashed, he could not only use his own strength but also borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao, intending to directly crush Ye Chen.

He no longer considers Ye Chen a friend, but only a traitor.

Ye Chen was also furious, knowing that Jin was capricious and his personality was even more extreme than that of the former Golden Feather Emperor.

He must kill Jhin today, or the consequences will be dire.

"Tyrant's Pagoda!"

Ye Chen let out a deep shout, mobilizing the power of the Heaven-Burning Fragments. Rolling tribulation flames burst forth from his hands, finally condensing into a Tyrant Pagoda, which he smashed out mercilessly.

boom!
The two giant towers collided, creating a terrifying storm and shockwave. The island below collapsed, and the massive waves were stirred up by the battle between the two.

Terrified, Fairy Fuyao retreated again and again with Ni Changjun and Ye Xingcai.

Ye Chen and Jin each flew back a distance before stabilizing themselves in mid-air.

"You actually used my magic against me?"

"I want you to die!"

Jin felt a slight sweetness in his throat, a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his face turned pale.
Ye Chen's all-out attack just now also caused him considerable damage.

A wisp of calamity even surged into his body, scorching his internal organs.

This is the calamity fire from the fragments of the Burning Heaven!
Although Ye Chen does not possess the strength of the Heavenly Dao Realm, he wields the Fragment of Burning Heaven!

Relying on the power of the Heavenly Burning Fragments, coupled with his Heavenly Demon form, Ye Chen gained a slight advantage in their initial exchange.

Jin was filled with immense regret!
She regretted giving the Heaven-Burning Fragment to Ye Chen and regretted teaching Ye Chen supernatural powers and techniques.

This tyrant's pagoda was a supernatural power he envisioned, but he never actually put it into practice.

But he didn't expect Ye Chen to be so powerful, having mastered this fantastical supernatural ability.

Although Ye Chen had not truly embarked on the path of a tyrant, he now possessed the majesty of a tyrant and the aura of a supreme demon.

"Burning Sky Ash, I don't want to be your enemy, but you've really gone too far!"

Ye Chen's eyes were cold, and he was too lazy to waste any more words. He stretched out his large hand, his palm reaching for the sky, and flipped out the character "乾" (Qian), directly unleashing the Qian character technique.

Rumble!
Ye Chen's spine supported a dark sky.

Thunder roared and surged above the overcast sky.

A purple crystal appeared between Ye Chen's eyebrows, embedded like a third eye.

That's a Thunder Source Crystal!
At that moment, Ye Chen directly mobilized the power of the Thunder Source Crystal, comprehended the Zhen word technique on the spot, and unleashed it.

Among the Yin-Yang Eight Character Formulas, the Zhen character formula is the most powerful because it is a thunder technique!

Ye Chen had not been able to comprehend cultivation before because the peak lightning technique was extremely powerful and could easily backfire on him.

But at this moment, in order to suppress Jin, he was fearless and directly comprehended the Zhen word technique!
