Chapter 12654 Tolerance?
"Lord of Reincarnation, your strength is nothing more than this!" The voice of the Heavenly Emperor came from Shen Lian's body, with a faint smile, "You have almost exhausted your source, and you can't maintain your Heavenly Demon Body. You still want to fight me?"

Ye Chen saw that the Heavenly Emperor Divine Mark on Shen Lian's head was becoming increasingly dazzling. Clearly, Shen Lian had become a part of the Heavenly Emperor.

Ye Chen ignored the Emperor's voice and, taking advantage of the fact that the Heavenly Demon form was still in existence, launched another attack.

"Heavenly Demon Abyss Slash!"

Ye Chen leaped into the air, and the black flames on his sword formed a jet-black sword aura that slashed towards Shen Lian's brow.

This sword strike directly depleted most of his energy, causing the demonic runes on his body to dim and the black flames on his hair to dwindle to just a few scattered points. However, Ye Chen's gaze remained unwavering.

Shen Lian's eyes flashed with killing intent. He suddenly raised his hand, and his spear transformed into a golden streak of light, colliding with Ye Chen's sword energy.

"boom……"

Dark sword energy and golden spear light exploded in the void! The shockwave spread outwards in all directions!
Many buildings in Shenbing Manor were reduced to ruins, and fragments of star iron rained down like meteorites.

Both sides, who were originally fighting with the elders and disciples of Shenbing Mountain Villa, hurriedly retreated and erected barriers to withstand the residual force of the impact.

However, when the smoke cleared, Ye Chen was kneeling on the ground, the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword planted firmly on the ground, his Heavenly Demon form on the verge of collapse.

Her long, jet-black hair fell down, and the black flames at the ends of her hair were completely extinguished.

The demonic markings on his body were as dark as death, and black blood kept spilling from the corners of his mouth.

A golden aura of divine authority mingled within him; it was the power of the Heavenly Emperor invading his very essence, causing his meridians to ache as if cut by a knife.

Shen Lian wasn't in much better shape; the handle of his spear was shattered in two, and a deep, bone-revealing wound appeared on his chest. However, compared to Ye Chen, he was in better condition, standing upright in mid-air.

The broken spear in his hand once again coalesced into golden divine runes, its tip pointing directly at Ye Chen's brow: "Lord of Reincarnation, prepare to die!"

Ye Chen dodged the attack as the space around him rippled, and at the same time, a clear shout pierced through the sea of ​​stars.

"stop!"

Several streaks of light rushed towards them from afar, with Feng Qingxue leading the way, her Great Love Light Shield unfolding around her.

A pinkish glow, carrying the wishes of millions of living beings, protected Ye Chen.

At the same time, Xiao He from the Dao Asking Sect also appeared, his crimson-gold heavenly fire condensing into a fire lion tens of feet long, roaring as it pounced towards Shen Lian.

"They're allies!"

Ye Chen had originally planned to retreat, but seeing the reinforcements from his allies, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Qingxue arrived first, and the Great Love Light Shield instantly expanded, protecting Ye Chen behind her. A pink energy wrapped around his meridians, repairing Ye Chen's body, which was originally on the verge of collapse.

Xiao He's fiery lion roared and pounced on Shen Lian, its crimson-gold flames burning the golden divine patterns on his body, making a sizzling sound.

"Hmph, all you do is outnumber your opponents." The Emperor's voice came from Shen Lian's body, but he still had no intention of giving up.

The broken spear once again burst forth with a dazzling golden light, slashing directly at Feng Qingxue, Xiao Hegu, and Ye Chen.

The light blade was incredibly powerful. Feng Qingxue's Great Love Light Shield was slashed so hard it made a buzzing sound, and Xiao He's Fire Lion was also split in two by the light blade.

Seeing this, Shen Lian wanted to go further, and the light blade at the tip of his spear aimed directly at Ye Chen's brow.

"The Ultimate Law—Nothingness!"

A cold voice came from the void, and the black aura of the end surged in like a traditional tide, instantly freezing Shen Lian's movements.

Everyone looked up and saw several black figures walking out of the spatial rift. The leader was a woman in a black robe, her face shrouded in black mist, revealing only a pair of cold purple eyes.

This person is none other than Guilong Ji, the Heavenly Lord of Void Heaven. The Temple of the End has eight branch temples, one of which is called Void Heaven.

Gui Longji was followed by more than ten disciples of the Temple of the End, each of them exuding an aura of majesty, clearly indicating that they were not here with good intentions.

"The Temple of the End, what are you doing here?" Xiao He asked warily, gathering heavenly fire in his hand again to guard against the people from the Temple of the End.

Gui Longji ignored Xiao Heguo and stared at the Star Seal in Shen Lian's hand, a hint of greed flashing in her eyes.

"I have no interest in your grudges. I only want the Star Seal. If you know what's good for you, hand it over. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning you all into dust in the end times!"

It turns out that the Temple of the End was not there to help Ye Chen, but for the Star Seal!
Ye Chen's heart sank; the crisis that had just been eased had become even more uncertain.

On one side is Shen Lian, who is controlled by the Emperor, and on the other side is the End God Temple, which is eyeing the Divine Seal. At this moment, his own source and spiritual energy are also on the verge of being exhausted, and the situation is even more dangerous than before.

"The Temple of the End... Hmph, you also want to steal the Divine Seal?" The voice of the Heavenly Emperor came from Shen Lian's mouth, with a hint of sarcasm. "Gui Long Ji, do you think you can take the Star Seal from me with your methods?"

Gui Longji sneered, raised her hand and waved it at Shen Lian, the black aura of the end slashing towards his golden divine runes, while saying.

"Your Majesty, do you think you can stop me with just one body you control? I am determined to take the Star Seal."

At this moment, the Emperor fell silent. Initially, he intended to claim the Star Seal for himself, but when he tried to refine it, he could sense the anger of the Chaos God in the void, and that aura made him wary.

At this moment, the Star Seal was a hot potato for him, but he was unwilling to give up. So he wanted to use Shen Lian to kill Ye Chen. Unexpectedly, the Temple of the End suddenly descended, disrupting his plan.

The golden light in Shen Lian's eyes surged violently, clearly indicating that the Emperor was weighing the pros and cons.

Seeing this, Gui Longji once again activated the Void Law, and black final chains surged out from the void, piercing towards Shen Lian's body.

"I don't have time to waste with you. Either hand over the Star Seal, or kill Shen Lian first, and then deal with your true form."

The Emperor within Shen Lian's body frowned deeply, now besieged on all sides.

Ye Chen's side has a large number of people and strong strength. At this moment, there is basically no chance to kill Ye Chen. If the stalemate continues, their consciousness may be obliterated.

"Since you all want the Seal of the Stars, then you may all be buried with it."

The Emperor controlled Shen Lian's body and let out a wild roar, full of tyranny.

Suddenly, the golden divine patterns and black sacrificial divine power on Shen Lian's body surged, and the energy around him began to surge wildly.

"No, he's going to blow himself up!"

Xiao He's expression suddenly changed, and countless long swords flew out from his body, transforming into a huge array, while he roared loudly.

"Quickly enter the formation!"

Gui Longji hadn't expected the Emperor to be so crazy. She snorted and waved her hand to conjure a shield of ultimate light.

The light shield carried a strong aura of impending doom, shielding his disciples from the ravages of time.

Immortal Venerable Jingliu and Ye Chen also used their methods to protect the other disciples, who could clearly feel the rampant energy.

That was a self-destruction combining the Heavenly Emperor's imperial power and Shen Lian's weapon divine path, with immense power.

"boom--"

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent.

Shen Lian's body exploded instantly, and all kinds of energy within him shattered, forming a huge energy storm.

A few breaths later, it transformed into a black mushroom cloud thousands of feet tall, swallowing up all the surrounding Star Iron fragments and buildings.

Wherever the energy storm passed, space was torn open with countless tiny cracks. Various auras surged out from the cracks, combining with the energy of the self-destruction to form a destructive torrent that crushed towards everyone.

The earth barrier of Immortal Mirror Flow was also shaken open with cracks, and the earth-yellow spiritual patterns shattered inch by inch. She groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood, and the barrier collapsed with a crash.

Guilongji's final light shield was also violently shaken by the torrent, with countless gaps appearing on it. Several disciples were not able to dodge in time and were directly swallowed by the torrent, instantly turning into ashes.

Although Ye Chen was protected by the light shield, he still felt the destructive power. His meridians were once again impacted, blood gushed from the corner of his mouth, and his vision became somewhat blurred.

He could feel the screams of his allied disciples around him, and he could see many innocent people falling one after another, filling his heart with rage.

All of this was because he was not strong enough to stop Shen Lian or fight against the Heavenly Emperor.

The terrifying energy from the self-destruction lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before slowly subsiding, leaving only the shattered void cracks around it and the ruins of the Divine Weapon Manor, as if telling the story of what had just happened.

Ye Chen and the others were also in a sorry state. Immortal Venerable Jingliu was supporting Ye Chen, and the two of them were constantly churning with their auras. Immortal Venerable Jingliu was kneeling on a piece of broken stone, coughing incessantly.

In comparison, Gui Longji was in much better condition, although her black robe was torn in a few places, her whole body still exuded a certain charm.

However, more than half of the disciples of the Temple of the End were killed or wounded, and their eyes were filled with rage.

A golden phantom emerged from the void; it was the remnant of the Emperor's will: "Ye Chen, this Star Seal is yours."

Clearly, the Emperor was preparing to shift the blame eastward, since Guilongji was determined to obtain the Star Seal. At this moment, he handed the Star Seal to Ye Chen, naturally wanting to see the two sides fight.

"It's a pity we won't see the ending!"

Without the protection of Shen Lian's body, the Emperor's consciousness dissipated.

With the disappearance of the Heavenly Emperor, Gui Longji and the others immediately set their sights on the Star Seal in Ye Chen's hand.

Clearly, everyone wants to own the Star Seal.

"Lord of Reincarnation, it's best to leave the Star Seal to me for safekeeping." Thanks to Jing Liyue's mediation, the relationship between the two sides eased, and Guilongji did not choose to take action immediately.

“If Ye Chen hadn’t driven away the Ziwei Emperor, the Star Seal would never have appeared here,” Liu Heweng was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

As an elder of the Dao Seeking Sect, and having been saved by Ye Chen, he naturally wouldn't allow the End God Temple to have his way.

Feng Qingxue chimed in, "Actually, if the Lord of Reincarnation hadn't risked damaging the Heavenly Demon's essence twice, the Star Seal would have been destroyed by the Chaos Evil God long ago."

However, dissenting voices soon emerged, with some leaders of smaller factions speaking up: "Although the Lord of Reincarnation is the greatest contributor to the fight against the Ziwei Emperor, we also helped fight against the Chaos Beasts in the early stages and later restrained the elders and disciples of the Divine Weapon Manor. If it weren't for us, we wouldn't have been able to hold out until your arrival."

“That’s right, everyone has contributed. There’s only one Seal of the Stars, how can the Lord of Reincarnation have it all to himself?”

Soon, other powerful figures chimed in to echo this sentiment.

However, these forces did not actually intend to obtain the Star Seal; they were only saying this to get a share of the profits from the Divine Weapon Manor.

After all, there is only one Star Seal, so it's definitely not going to be his. However, the loss of the vast Divine Weapon Manor would be enough to expand his sect several times over.

Soon the scene descended into chaos as everyone voiced their opinions.

Some supported Ye Chen, others advocated joint custody, and still others said that the Temple of the End was not qualified to obtain the Seal of the Stars.

Hearing these voices, the disciples of the Temple of the End's face darkened. Gui Longji's cold eyes coldly stared at everyone, and the originally calm aura of the end began to subtly surge around her.

"I don't like to talk nonsense. This is the last time. I came here to obtain the Star Seal. If anyone dares to stop me, they will die with Shen Lian."

Gui Longji's voice carried immense pressure, causing some of the powerful figures to shut their mouths and dare not speak again.

Ye Chen's body had recovered somewhat by now. He stabilized the chaotic energy within him, slowly raised his hand, and said, "Everyone, please be quiet."

All eyes turned to Ye Chen, who slowly said, "The Star Seal is the key to dealing with the evil god. It cannot fall into the hands of those with ulterior motives. Otherwise, if it is taken by the Chaos Evil God, the consequences would be unimaginable. I wonder if Senior Gui has any good suggestions?"

Ye Chen now understood that although the Star Seal was in his hands at the moment, it would be difficult to actually obtain it. Haotian Lanshen was also in the process of recuperating because he was using his power, so he would not have the advantage in a real fight.

Moreover, various forces are involved, and now the Temple of the End is stirring things up again. If we forcibly take it over, it will probably provoke public anger.

If not handled properly, it will give the Chaos God and the Heavenly Emperor an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, which will lead to another battle.

"My suggestion is naturally to..." Before Gui Longji could finish speaking, a cold and majestic voice came from the void, "This prince has a suggestion!"

Everyone looked up and saw a black spatial rift unfold from it. A man wrapped in a black robe walked out of the rift, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

Its aura was even more intense than that of Gui Longji, carrying a powerful pressure. This was clearly a high-ranking member of the End God Temple, the Great Lord of the "Void Heaven" of the End God Temple—the Nightmare Lord.

The difference between "Great God" and "God" is only one word, but their status is vastly different!
Upon seeing the man, Gui Longji immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Great Heavenly Lord Nightmare!"

The disciples of the Temple of the End also bowed in greeting.

Looking at the Star Seal in Ye Chen's hand, the Nightmare Lord didn't have much greed; he could sense more than Guilong Ji.

This Star Seal has been marked by the Chaos God, and anyone who refines the Star Seal will be tainted by the Chaos God's wrath.

At this moment, this thing has become a double-edged sword. Although it is extremely powerful and can control stars and fight against chaos, it is more likely to bring trouble upon itself.

However, giving it to the Lord of Reincarnation like that would be too lenient on him.

Then, a hand made of extinguished starlight grabbed the Star Seal from Ye Chen's hand.

"Om-"

The Star Seal, which had been calm in Ye Chen's hand, now emitted a painful groan. The chaotic black energy and the aura of annihilation hidden within it clashed violently, and the entire seal made a faint sound, as if it could not bear the weight.

"In the name of the Grand Lord of the Temple of the End, I have set the Star Seal as the final reward for the Divine Gate Path six months from now. Whoever has the ability can take the Star Seal."

The declaration by the Nightmare Lord directly brought an end to the question of who owned the Star Seal.

"The Divine Gate Path is the ancient god's path that we discovered in the Temple of the End. If we can't pass through the Divine Gate Path, then obtaining this Star Seal is of no use."

Hearing the words of the Nightmare Lord, everyone's expression changed, except for the disciples of the Temple of the End, who showed a hint of pride.

On the alliance side, everyone had a different expression. Xiao He was lost in thought, and since the Heavenly Question Ancestor hadn't come, he had no right to speak.

Ye Chen's eyes were filled with a mixture of anger and calm. If his own vital energy hadn't been depleted, he wouldn't have been able to let him snatch the Star Seal so easily.

This guy's suggestion seems fair, but this thing was earned through his own hard work, and this guy ended up getting a free ride.

Moreover, the Divine Gate Path is controlled by the Temple of the End, so they naturally have a significant advantage.

Ye Chen considered various pros and cons, but Feng Qingxue's warning rang in his ears.

"Ye Chen, the Great Heavenly Lord of Void Heaven is very powerful, and Gui Wuji is not to be underestimated either. They have a large number of people and are powerful. Now that you are injured, it would be best if we held back for the time being."

Ye Chen pondered in his mind without speaking; he didn't quite believe what the Great Heavenly Lord of Nightmare had said.

After all, the people in the Temple of the End enjoy all sorts of research. During this time, it's unknown whether they will strip away the power of the Star Seal or destroy its core laws.

After all, they only said they would give it to the Star Seal, not that they would give it a good Star Seal.

I fear he might use this as bait to set up an even bigger trap.

He absolutely cannot place the key to saving Ren Feifan on the justice spoken of by a stranger.

Just as the Great Heavenly Lord of Void Heaven was about to lead everyone away, a faint voice appeared: "Great Heavenly Lord, I cannot agree to this."
