Chapter 12651 Madness and Greed

"Heavenly Death Abyss Sword!"

With a single sword strike, the black abyss sword energy and the black and white reincarnation aura intertwined with the earth-yellow divine power of the earth, forming a three-colored sword energy that transformed into a long rainbow, directly slashing towards the Purple Star.

"Boom—Boom—!"

The moment the three-colored sword energy struck the barrier, it produced a deafening roar, and the starlight on the surface of Ziwei Star trembled violently.

Fine cracks appeared on the barrier, but a chaotic aura emanated from them, slowly repairing the cracks.

"Ye Chen, I will use the blood of the Pillar God to soak the main vein of the entire Ziwei Star later. You will be responsible for breaking the rules of the stars."

Immortal Venerable Jingliu spoke up from the side, saying that although the mist had thinned, it would probably take a lot of time to completely disperse it.

"The blood of the Pillar God, can your body withstand it?" Ye Chen was somewhat worried, after all, the blood of the Pillar God would cause great damage to the entire body.

"No problem. I've been so well nourished after having so many children, so consuming some of the Pillar God's blood is nothing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Immortal Venerable Mirror spit out a mouthful of Pillar God's blood.

"Ziwei governs the stars, Houtu governs the earth's veins!"

"rise!"

Immortal Venerable Jingliu unleashed a palm strike, directly slamming it towards Ziwei Star, mixed with the blood of the Pillar God.

The moment the blood hit the ground, it transformed into countless earth-yellow runes. The runes flowed across the ground and quickly wove together a massive network of earth veins. The earth trembled violently, and mountain ranges emerged directly from the earth's crust.

Ye Chen waited for a long time, took a deep breath, and gripped the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword in his right hand. The sword absorbed the reincarnation energy and the power of the earth veins, and gradually emitted a black and white interwoven light. The reincarnation patterns on the sword directly slashed over.

"Crimson Moon Slash!"

With a single sword strike, the sword light, like a celestial river, cleaved towards the Purple Star, merging with the earth-yellow runes to form a giant sword light interwoven with black, white, and yellow colors.

The sword light tore through the earth's surface, carrying the weight of the earth's veins and the eeriness of reincarnation, like a giant blade that split the heavens, crashing fiercely into the rule barrier of the Purple Star.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound ripped through the Purple Star, and the purple mist that even the Heavenly Dao Realm couldn't handle was now directly cleaved by a single slash.

At the breach, the originally intact rules were shattered, and the entire Ziwei Star trembled violently, with the sea of ​​clouds churning and the stars shaking.

"Stop him quickly! Don't let him obstruct our lord!"

Ling Xuhe, who had disappeared along with the Wanxing Heavenly Palace, suddenly appeared with the Wanxing Heavenly Palace elders and disciples, attempting to stop Ye Chen.

"You shouldn't have stopped it."

Ye Chen had already sensed the spying from the side and was prepared when he saw Ling Xuhe appear.

"The Heavenly Emperor's Dragon-Slaying Sword!"

Ye Chen's black and white aura dissipated, and his entire body was filled with golden light as he slashed directly at Ling Xuhe and his subordinates.

Seeing the deadly sword intent, several of the people who had been charging with them turned and ran away. They were just elders of the Myriad Stars Heavenly Palace, not assassins, so they naturally chose to flee when they couldn't win.

But before they could run more than a few steps, they all collapsed to the ground.

"By order of the Ziwei Emperor, those who do not fight will die." A figure in purple robes stepped forward and blocked the attack.

"Elder Divine Oracle, you've arrived." Upon seeing this person, Ling Xuhe immediately rushed over. Although he was the Palace Master, his status was not as high as that of the elder in front of him, who was specifically responsible for conveying divine decrees.

"Chaotic energy?" Ye Chen frowned. He had just made his move when he sensed that the person in front of him was carrying chaotic energy in their attack.

However, this person is an elder who conveys divine pronouncements. If he were infected with the Chaos Qi, Emperor Ziwei would not be unaware of it, unless—Emperor Ziwei was also corrupted.

Thinking of the unusual purple aura he had encountered earlier, Ye Chen's heart sank. This was the worst-case scenario. It seemed that it wasn't just the Purple Emperor. After all, chaotic energy was known to have polluting properties.

There are quite a few people who have just entered Ziwei Star. If they are all contaminated, it will be a big problem.

As he was thinking this, the attacks from Elder Divine Oracle and Ling Xuhe and the others had already begun.

"Starlight Shattered!"

Countless fragments of stars attacked Ye Chen directly.

"Be careful!"

Seeing this, Immortal Venerable Jingliu couldn't help but shout, but the massive loss of the Pillar God's blood made her weak and unable to provide any help.

"Don't worry, these tricks won't work on me. Immortal Venerable Mirror Flow, you should adjust your state first. Leave this to me!"

Immortal Venerable Jingliu nodded and said, "Be careful!"

Ye Chen's eyes were solemn. He flipped the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword in his hand and directly broke through with a single sword strike!
"Twilight Slash of the World!"

The aura of death spread out, and the starlight fragments in the sky were cleaved apart by a single sword strike, the aftershocks striking the Oracle Elder and the others.

Even when surrounded by a crowd, Ye Chen remained at ease.

"puff!"

"Puff puff"

Mouthfuls of blood spurted out.

Faced with Ye Chen's attack, those who were weaker were directly hit by the aftershocks and bled profusely.

"I will not kill those who retreat."

"If you take another step forward, you will be killed without mercy."

However, these people did not retreat at all, their killing intent palpable.

A fierce glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he launched another attack, not intending to waste any more time with them.

The aura of reincarnation began to surge, and black and white mist once again clung to the sword's waist. With a single swing, the oppressive feeling of reincarnation swept over the user.

Ling Xuhe was startled, feeling as if he was about to be buried here.

"Those who want to interfere with my Lord's affairs are not so simple. My Lord has nurtured you for so long, it is time to offer you up to my Lord."

With a roar, Elder Divine Oracle unleashed a surge of chaotic energy from his body. The bodies of Ling Xuhe, Wanxing Tiangong, and the others who were standing around him began to decay, turning into wisps of chaotic energy that seeped into Elder Divine Oracle's body.

"help me!"

"Help me, I don't want to die. Lord of Reincarnation."

"Lord of Reincarnation, I am willing to serve you as my master, please save me."

Screams echoed continuously. Ye Chen had a deep understanding of the torment that chaotic energy could inflict on people, especially when all of their energy was converted into chaotic energy.

But Ye Chen had no choice. Since they worshipped the Ziwei Emperor, they could only let their master do as he pleased.

"Therefore, you have to rely on yourself for everything."

Ye Chen's gaze sharpened.

"The Burial Mantra!"

Bury him here!

Ye Chen made a hand seal with one hand, and a huge "burial" character rushed directly towards Elder Divine Oracle.

A tremendous aura of death began to linger above the Oracle Elder's head. Feeling the immense pressure, the Oracle Elder froze on the spot, completely motionless.

The chaotic energy within his body seemed to have stopped, and his previously frenzied state became as still as death.

"die!"

As the divine seal drew closer to Elder Divine Oracle, a hint of expression appeared on his previously lifeless face, but he became like a madman, swinging the starlight pestle in his hand and attacking Ye Chen.

Unfortunately, the massive amount of chaotic energy obliterated his entire consciousness. Although the power was immense, it was completely chaotic and he was directly killed by Ye Chen's attack.

Ye Chen sheathed his sword and stood there, his chest rising and falling slightly.

The battle and the will that had just broken through the Ziwei Star had depleted his strength, but his eyes were incredibly bright: "Let's go, into the Ziwei Star."

……

After a while.

Upon entering Ziwei Star, Ye Chen sensed the convergence of countless chaotic energies.

The diameter of Ziwei Star is at least tens of thousands of miles, and its surface is covered with dense black lines, which look like congealed blood, spreading from the star's core to its surface.

Each line was about ten feet wide, filled with viscous, chaotic energy. When the energy surged, it produced dark red foam and emitted a terrifying odor.

Ye Chen looked up at the North Pole of the stars, where the temple of the Ziwei Emperor was originally located. Now, looking from afar, it seemed to be nothing but ruins.

Dark red patterns crawled all over the broken walls and ruins, with strange flowers carved on them.

The once peaceful and tranquil Ziwei Star is now filled with strange and grotesque creatures wandering in the sea of ​​stars.

Some of them have deer antlers and horse tails on their heads, and their original hands and feet have transformed into the limbs of other animals, as if they have been fused together like a strange creature.

The most powerful aura belonged to the bizarrely shaped octopus demon fish, which was devouring the infected Chaos Beasts. Its back was covered with countless human faces, and its body was covered with countless star fragments, with a thick layer of chaotic energy covering its surface.

The entire tip of the tentacles was covered with sharp bone claws, and each wriggle brought the starry sea to ripple. The entire head had no eyes, only a huge yellow black hole, which constantly swallowed and exhaled stars and chaotic energy. Occasionally, a scarlet light would flash from the depths of the black hole.

"These are all humans who were infected while living on Ziwei Star!"

Ye Chen looked at the scene before him and felt a chill run down his spine. He knew how terrifying the chaotic energy was before, but at this moment, his fear had reached a new level.

Clearly, these strange creatures before us are the transformed humans who previously worshipped the Ziwei Emperor, but now they have turned into mindless, chaotic beasts.

Just as Ye Chen was about to go around it, he saw the Chaos Beast in front of him suddenly stop moving. Its black hole-like head abruptly turned towards Ye Chen. Clearly, although it had lost its eyes, its ability to sense auras had become even stronger.

It should be noted that Ye Chen is currently enveloped by the black and white aura of reincarnation, making him appear like a dead man, yet this still cannot block the perception of these chaotic beasts.

"Roar!"

The eight-clawed Chaos Beast roared, and its eight tentacles attacked directly. The bone claws at the ends of the tentacles emitted a cold yellow light, accompanied by chaotic energy, clearing out tiny spatial rifts wherever they passed.

Ye Chen dared not take the attack head-on. He flashed away like a streak of light, dodging the tentacle. He drew his Heaven and Earth Divine Sword, and the sword light directly severed one of the tentacles.

"Qiang!"

The moment the sword light struck the tentacle, a metallic clang rang out. Ye Chen's expression flashed with surprise. He hadn't expected that the invincible Heaven and Earth Divine Sword would fail to sever the tentacle with a single strike.

"It seems that the body of this Chaos Beast is even more resilient than I imagined."

Ye Chen adjusted his stance and slashed again.

Although the tendrils were severed this time, they were quickly fused with the chaotic energy and grew back.

"It can actually absorb chaotic energy to repair itself."

Ye Chen hadn't expected that these seemingly simple Chaos Beasts would be so troublesome, and as the fighting raged, more and more Chaos Beasts moved closer.

"Time Cycle—Bury!"

With a single swing of the sword, the original Chaos Beast began to slowly transform, its body gradually taking on the appearance of a human, before being slashed to death.

This is an ability that Ye Chen created by fusing the power of the Time Godhood and the Reincarnation Godhood. He used the Time Godhood to transform the Chaos Beast back to its uninfected state, and then used the Reincarnation Fist Handle to obliterate it.

The chaotic eight-clawed beast, which had previously lost its mind, showed a look of relief as a human face appeared. It bowed to Ye Chen with both hands, and its entire body turned into a ball of chaotic energy, with a yellow crystal falling down.

"Chaos Crystal?"

Ye Chen scooped up the crystal and found that it was no different from the Chaos Crystal he had obtained when he passed through the Triple Gate. The only difference was that the one inside him was the size of an egg, while the crystal in front of him was like a small soybean.

The chaotic crystal that had been motionless within the body suddenly felt a sense of urgency, as if it wanted to absorb the crystal in front of it. With a flick of its palm, it transformed into a stream of yellow gas, which was then directly absorbed into the body.

Ye Chen sensed it and found that the size had not changed at all, except that the chaotic gas was a little thicker. He breathed a sigh of relief. If it grew bigger after absorbing just a little bit, his physical body would probably burst.

After sitting cross-legged for a moment, Ye Chen flew towards the highest Ziwei Mountain, where the palace of the Ziwei Emperor was now in ruins. He sensed many powerful auras there, as well as the spiritual light of many treasures. Clearly, the Star Seal must also be in that place.

"Please wait, sir! I am an elder of the Dao Seeking Sect. If you can help me deal with this Chaos Beast, I will reward you handsomely afterwards!"

When Elder Liu Heweng of the Dao Asked the Way Sect saw several figures flash by, he quickly shouted loudly.

Ye Chen and Fairy Jingliu stopped in their tracks and saw three Chaos Beasts attacking a middle-aged man with white hair. His robes were tattered and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

The three Chaos Beasts before him were weaker than the one he had killed before, but the three of them together posed a greater threat.

Moreover, it is unknown whether these three Chaos Beasts were brothers or fellow disciples before, because even after becoming Chaos Beasts, they still have a tacit understanding and cooperation.

"I'm here to save you."

Ye Chen harbored hatred for the Lu Dao Sect, but had some goodwill towards the Dao Wen Sect, so he brandished the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword and attacked.

Liu Heweng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ye Chen's figure, and exclaimed with delight, "Lord of Reincarnation, Immortal Venerable Mirror Flow, it was you all!"

"Be careful of these chaotic beasts in front of you. Don't get attacked by their claws. They are covered in chaotic energy. If you touch them, the wound will be covered by chaotic energy and will be difficult to heal."

"it is good."

Ye Chen nodded. He knew that the chaotic crystal contained within his body and the traces of chaotic energy did not harm him, but there was no need to reveal it, since it was something related to the evil god.

……

A moment later, with the cooperation of Ye Chen and the other two, they quickly slew the three chaotic beasts.

"I am Liu Heweng. Thank you, Lord of Reincarnation. If it weren't for your help, I would probably be in grave danger this time."

Liu Heweng bowed and thanked him.

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "Elder Liu, there's no need to be so polite. I am also good friends with Ancestor Tianwen."

"I cannot express my gratitude enough." Although Ye Chen didn't care, Liu Heweng still bowed and thanked him again.

"Elder Liu, why are you the only one here? Where are the other members of the Dao Seeking Sect?" Ye Chen asked, somewhat puzzled. There were quite a few people from the Dao Seeking Sect when they were at the Myriad Stars Heavenly Palace.

"We originally came in together, but after entering Ziwei Star, we felt that the surrounding area was filled with chaotic energy. In order to avoid injury, we let the other disciples with lower strength retreat first."

"We collected quite a few treasures from Ziwei Star along the way, but then we encountered a Chaos Beast Tide. To avoid being too conspicuous, we split up. After we separated, I sensed the divine light of the treasures and thought that the sect elders should also be here. So I rushed over here, but I didn't expect to be surrounded by three Chaos Beasts," Liu Heweng explained.

"A chaotic beast tide? These creatures would actually gather together to attack humans?" Ye Chen wondered.

When he flew over, all he could see were scattered Chaos Beasts. If two met, they would almost always fight each other, since creatures infected by Chaos would lose their reason and only have some biological instincts.

"I don't know for sure, but I guess there's some connection between the Ziwei Emperor and these infected believers, so he can command them," Liu Heweng guessed.

“I suggest we rest for a while before continuing our journey, as the dangers are unpredictable. What do you think, Lord of Reincarnation?” Liu Heweng suddenly asked.

Ye Chen glanced into the distance and nodded in agreement.

……

After resting for a while, the group headed towards Ziwu Mountain. The closer they got to Ziwu Mountain, the wider the black lines became and the stronger the aura became.

Originally, there were only three people, but now many people from the Dao Seeking Sect, Rainbow Rain Temple, and even Nine Cang Academy have gathered around them.

However, they also encountered people from Divine Weapon Manor and the Heavenly Emperor along the way, as well as some lone experts. Everyone tacitly refrained from making a move. The situation on Ziwei Star was clearly abnormal, and no one would take action until they saw the Star Seal.

At the summit of Ziwei Mountain, one could only see seven enormous star-shaped stone platforms slowly converging together in mid-air.

"This is the Seven Luminaries Execution Platform!"

As the Seven Luminaries Immortal-Slaying Platform converges, a massive star array appears at the center of the platform, with the star seals slowly gathering.

When Ye Chen and the others arrived, a considerable number of forces had already gathered around the Execution Platform. Everyone was staring at the center of the star array, where the flashing light grew brighter and brighter, and the outline of the star seal became clearer and clearer.

"coming!"

"The Star Seal is finally about to be born!"

Someone let out a soft exclamation.

A burst of light erupted from the center of the star array, and a golden pillar shot straight into the sky. The star seals slowly descended from the pillar of light, hovering in the center of the star array. The star patterns on the divine seals were fully activated, radiating a vast stellar power.

The seven surrounding starstone platforms also lit up, forming a dazzling starlight screen.
