Chapter 12655: Change of Seal

Chapter 12655: Change of Seal
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Ye Chen.

Feng Qingxue gasped in shock, and even Gui Longji, standing beside her, cast a cold and surprised glance.

She never imagined that anyone would dare to oppose the words of the Great God.

"Oh?"

The deathly aura around the Nightmare Lord surged slightly, his voice remained calm, but it conveyed an invisible pressure.

"What? Does the Lord of Reincarnation have some grievance?"

"Crack!"

The rocks beneath Ye Chen's feet shattered, his bones groaned, and the cycle of reincarnation within his body began to circulate. Haotian Lanshen's courage also helped him resist this pressure.

"I have no objection to the Great Celestial Lord's proposal. The Trial of the Divine Gate, where the victor receives the Seal of the Stars, is perfectly reasonable!"

However, Ye Chen changed the subject.

"It's just that we don't know whether this Star Seal will ultimately be a good Star Seal or a bad Star Seal. It would be best to seal it away, since there is still the mark of the Chaos Evil God inside."

Ye Chen didn't care what the Nightmare Lord would do. The entire Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent wasn't solely dominated by his End God Temple. If he didn't agree, the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect shouldn't mind contributing.

However, the Nightmare Lord remained silent for a long time, as if the time had been stretched infinitely, and the extinguished starlight flickered incessantly on his blurry face.

Gui Longji's fingers curled at her cuffs, secretly channeling the power of the laws, ready to unleash a fatal blow at any moment upon her command.

"Can!"

The Nightmare Lord nodded.

"Half a month later, come to the forbidden area of ​​the temple—the 'Xuanmieji Temple'—to participate in the sealing."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a phantom image and disappeared with the Star Seal in his hand.

As the oppressive aura dissipated, a tremendous panting sound echoed throughout the arena.

Gui Longji also straightened up, her black robe billowing, and looked at Ye Chen, speaking coldly.

"Lord of Reincarnation, you have quite the nerve."

His temple disciples also cast unfriendly glances at Ye Chen.

Gui Longji snorted coldly, flicked her sleeve to open a spatial rift, and led the way into it, leaving only a cold voice in Ye Chen's ears.

"Lord of Reincarnation, remember, come to the Xuanmieji Temple in half a month!"

After everyone left, Feng Qingxue quickly stepped forward and used her great love and compassion to wrap around Ye Chen's wounds and soothe them. As she sensed the energy within Ye Chen's body, her brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Do you know how dangerous that was? You still dared to make demands."

Feng Qingxue stayed with Ni Changjun at the Fox Tomb in Qingqiu and had heard about the Great Lord of the Temple of the End.

"With such a deep injury, it will probably be difficult for you to recover in half a month."

Xiao Hegu led several elders over and solemnly cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you, Lord of Reincarnation, for saving the elders of my Dao Asking Sect on Ziwei Star."

"No need for thanks. Ancestor Tianwen has helped me many times. How could I, Ye Chen, not help him?"

Ye Chen waved his hand and said.

"Alright, we'll take our leave now. If you need anything, just come find me at the Dao Seeking Sect."

After saying this, Xiao He left with his elders.

Soon, many people left the Divine Weapon Manor, leaving only some small sects and independent cultivators, who searched through the ruins of the manor for any treasures.

In the distant void, even the consciousness of the Heavenly Emperor vanished.

"The Samsara faction and the Temple of the End, those lunatics, actually didn't fight each other."

Although he was unwilling, there was nothing the Emperor could do.

……

After an unknown amount of time, they arrived at the sea of ​​flowers in the morning light.

Ye Chen sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and regulated his breathing. He had used the Heavenly Demon Transformation twice before and even used the power of Haotian Lanshen, which had left his body somewhat damaged.

However, the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Disc, supported by the five heavenly pillars, also emanates Yin-Yang energy that repairs its own body.

At the same time, Ye Chen's strength also broke through to the ninth level of the Divine Illumination Realm, getting closer and closer to the Life Source Realm.

In addition, Ye Chen finally understood the Chaos Crystal in his body. After he was damaged when he activated the Heavenly Demon form, it would automatically emit Chaos Qi to repair his body. It was obvious that the color on it had become a little darker.

However, Ye Chen felt that this chaotic crystal should have other uses, but he just hadn't discovered them yet.

"Ye Chen, how are you feeling? You should have recovered by now, after all these days." Seeing that Ye Chen had opened his eyes, the Goddess of Beauty asked from the side.

Ye Chen said, "It's alright, I've almost recovered."

"We have occupied most of the territory of Divine Weapon Manor and Myriad Stars Heavenly Palace, while the rest has been occupied by Black Abyss Demon Palace and some other forces," the Goddess of Beauty reported on the recent situation.

This time, two major threats have been resolved: the Divine Weapon Manor and the Myriad Stars Heavenly Palace have been destroyed. The only pity is that the corrupted Ziwei Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor escaped.

"Didn't you have any conflicts with the people from the Black Abyss Demon Palace?" Ye Chen was a little puzzled that the Black Abyss Demon Palace only occupied a small part of the territory.

"No, the Black Queen Mother didn't show up this time, and the Seven Demonesses didn't make a move either. Only a few elders came out with their disciples, and they retreated as soon as they saw us." The Goddess of Beauty was also somewhat puzzled.

"It's alright. No matter what schemes the Black Queen Mother has up her sleeve, let's focus on doing our own thing first," Ye Chen said.

"Yes, the situation on Ziwei Star is quite serious. Chaotic Twisted Monsters are everywhere, and many of them have turned into Heavenly Demons. Moreover, chaotic gas is constantly seeping in," the Goddess of Beauty said with a grave expression.

As the main base of the Ziwei Emperor, Ziwei Star not only contains the treasures of the Myriad Stars Heavenly Palace, but also the treasures of the Ziwei Emperor.

Originally, the Goddess of Beauty wanted to bring Ziwei Star directly to Jiucang Academy, but the pollution was too severe and she had no way to deal with it.

Not all those corrupted by chaos will become Heavenly Demons; most will become twisted monsters. Only a small percentage have the chance to become Heavenly Demons, and those corrupted Heavenly Demons are generally unconscious.

Ye Chen had some understanding of the Heavenly Demons: "We don't need to worry about Ziwei Star. I'll deal with it if the number of Heavenly Demons increases."

While others feared infection by the Heavenly Demon, Ye Chen was not afraid. Moreover, after the Heavenly Demon died, it would produce Chaos Crystals that he could absorb, making his Heavenly Demon form more convenient.

Ye Chen pulled the beauty into his arms and said, "You've had a hard time these past few days."

However, because the goddess was pregnant, and they were worried about affecting the fetus, the two did not get intimate. They just whispered sweet nothings to each other for a while before letting the goddess leave.

Now that the two Heavenly Gates have been destroyed, the Goddess of Beauty has many things to do, and Ye Chen also needs to prepare the sealing of the Star Seal.

The Reincarnation Graveyard became vibrant with life thanks to the flow of the Immortal Pool's spiritual spring. Nightmare Demon Mountain curled up, uttering low, muffled murmurs in his sleep.

Previously, when fighting against Ziwei Star, Haotian Lanshen saw that Ye Chen was in danger and had to interrupt the repair of his body. Now, he has finally completed the repair of his physical body.

Seeing Haotian Lanshen wielding his sword, Ye Chen asked, "Senior, how is your recovery going?"

"Thanks to your Destiny Stone, it feels really good to have a physical body now." Haotian Lanshen sheathed his longsword and shook his body.

"The physical body restored by the Stone of Destiny is only slightly weaker than my original body, but it contains a lot of spiritual energy from the Great Dao of Destiny, which can continuously repair the body."

"That's good." Ye Chen nodded. He was about to go to the Temple of the End. Haotian Lanshen had recovered his physical body, which would make it easier for him to face him then.

Just as Ye Chen was about to set off, he spotted a bird made of prisms!

This method can only be used by one person!

Mirror Moon!
The bird had only one line of blood-red text on it:
"Come to the Illusionary Mirror Cave and save me!"

"Liyue, what happened?" Ye Chen looked at the letter, a trace of worry flashing through his heart. Without further hesitation, he drove the Azure Dragon Boat at full speed towards the Temple of the End.

A day later, Ye Chen entered the Illusionary Mirror Cave with ease.

The numerous mirrors that had been hanging there were now all shattered and fallen to the ground, except for the central mirror which remained intact.

Upon seeing Ye Chen arrive, Jing Liyue fell out of the mirror.

"Liyue."

Ye Chen quickly grabbed her and held her tightly. At this moment, Jing Liyue was in a terrible state. Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes, which used to reflect everything, were now constantly bleeding.

"What happened? Who hurt you!"

Ye Chen's voice was filled with worry and anger; he hadn't expected the other party to be so seriously injured.

Jing Liyue grabbed Ye Chen's arm, her voice filled with barely suppressed terror: "No, it wasn't anyone who hurt me, it was my Jing Tong that saw something it shouldn't have seen."

As Jing Liyue gasped for breath, tears of blood streamed down her face, dripping onto the petals at her feet and instantly turning them a tragic dark red.

"One finger, a slender, white finger, with the scorching light of the sun."

"I... I tried to glimpse its origin, but the mirror eye collapsed directly, and I suffered a backlash. If it weren't for the mirror in this Illusionary Mirror Cave..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was shaken, and his fingers shone like the blazing sun.
Seemingly sensing Jing Liyue's condition, the Yangshen Heavenly Pearl emitted a strong scorching heat.

"That finger must not be an ordinary finger, but a part of the female yang goddess's corpse."

"No, it might not just be a finger, it could be a hand, or a corpse."

Ye Chen instantly realized why Jing Liyue had suffered such a severe backlash.

"Ye Chen, I used a secret technique to investigate, and the only chance of survival I found was you. Ye Chen, only you can save me now."

Jing Liyue looked at Ye Chen with bloodshot eyes, her voice filled with despair and hope.

"Don't worry, it's alright," Ye Chen reassured him.

Only he himself could resolve the backlash from the beginning, after all, he was also a child of light.

Feeling Jing Liyue's icy body, Ye Chen activated the Yangshen Heavenly Pearl, and a warm current enveloped the two of them.

Seemingly stimulated, Jing Liyue's internal energy began to boil, and she suppressed a sharp pain.

"Hold it!"

Two days later.

The energy within Jing Liyue's body calmed down under the influence of the same source emanating from the Yangshen Heavenly Pearl, transforming into streams of warm currents that nourished her.

Jing Liyue's trembling body gradually recovered, and she slowly opened her eyes, her once lively eyes regaining their clarity.

"How does it feel?"

Ye Chen withdrew his hand, his aura fluctuating slightly. Activating the Yang God Heavenly Pearl for an extended period had taken a toll on him.

"It has fully recovered, and is even better than before."

Jing Liyue felt a surge of joy as she sensed the condition within her body, and her gaze towards Ye Chen was filled with tenderness.

"What you should see are Xingcai's mother's fingers; she is a female yang deity born from the dream of the yin deity."

"The Yang God Heavenly Pearl in my hand is formed from her heart, which is why it is so effective in healing you. If it were the power of the Primordial Era, the effect would not be so good."

Ye Chen explained.

"A female Yang God born from the Yin God's dream?" Jing Liyue also knew about Ye Chen sealing the Yin God in the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect.

“That’s right, Li Yue, where did you see these fingers?” Ye Chen asked.

The power of the Primordial One is growing stronger, and if he finds the corpse, the situation will be very bad.

Jing Liyue hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"That finger was seen on the Mountain of Eternal Silence."

"Eternal Silence Points to Mountain?"

Jing Liyue explained:

"Yes, the Eternal Silence Finger Mountain is deep within the forbidden area of ​​the Temple of the End, the place where some unspeakable being fell, and its remaining finger bones transformed into the mountain range."

"It is said that the Palace Master himself set up the Great Array of Ten Thousand Silences and Nothingness to seal it away."

"The projection of the Endless Demon was also a part that the Palace Master took out from the Eternal Silence Finger Mountain, which is why I was able to create it."

"I originally wanted to take a look at this Eternal Silence Finger Mountain to see if it would help your path to becoming a Heavenly Demon, but I didn't expect to be directly attacked by it."

Ye Chen listened and pulled Jing Liyue into his arms: "Liyue, thank you so much. Is there any way to get into Eternal Silent Pointing Mountain?"

Ye Chen hadn't expected that the Boundless Heavenly Demon was actually created using a portion of the Eternal Silence Finger Mountain. In that case, the Temple of the End had a deep understanding of Heavenly Demons and Chaos.

The Yin-Yang Divine Path Sect imprisons the Yin God, while the End God Temple studies chaos; clearly, they are both setting up plans outside the world.

"There's no way around it. Only Heavenly Lords and Temple Masters can enter Eternal Silence Mountain. Anyone else entering will trigger the formation."

Jing Liyue shook her head:
"I only peeked in when I saw a great God go in; otherwise, there would have been no way I would have known."

Just as Ye Chen was about to say something, a black talisman exuding an aura of annihilation floated in front of him, clearly reminding him that it was time to attend the sealing ceremony of the Star Seal.

Ye Chen said no more and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the Xuanmieji Temple.

……

After a stick of incense.

Led by the black-robed guide, Ye Chen arrived at the Xuanmieji Temple.

The Xuanmieji Temple is an independent realm suspended in the depths of nothingness.

The ground is inlaid with a strange stone called the Annihilation Stone, which was forged by the elders and disciples of the Annihilation Heaven using the Law of Annihilation.

The entire surface was as black as night. Ye Chen found that not only was he silent as he walked on it, but even the light and aura he emitted seemed to be greedily sucked up and eliminated by it.

Looking up, the entire sky seemed to be covered by a black curtain, exuding an eternal stillness.

Not only that, Ye Chen also felt an indescribable sense of oppression in the air, as if time itself was being suppressed, making him feel awkward.

Ye Chen looked around the room and saw that Gui Longji and the eight temple elders had arrived and had obviously been waiting for a long time, but the Nightmare Lord was nowhere to be seen.

However, with Ye Chen's appearance, the Nightmare Lord also appeared, still wearing a long black robe, with a faint aura of nothingness on his face.

It gives people a feeling of both seeing clearly and not seeing clearly, with only a pair of eyes that are as deep as an ancient, cold abyss.

"Lord of Reincarnation, let's begin," said the Nightmare Lord.

With a wave of his hand, the Star Seal floated to the center of the circle formed by the crowd, emitting a faint starlight.

"Let's seal it."

The Nightmare Lord, the Great Demon Lord, made the first move.

Ten vast and boundless ethereal auras, originating from the same source yet each with its own emphasis, transformed into long, faint serpents that coiled around the Star Seal.

Wherever the long serpent passed, the starlight emitted by the Star Seal turned into nothingness, and everything around turned into darkness.

Ye Chen also used his spatial divine authority to seal off the area around the Star Seal.

"Om-!"

The Star Seal seemed unwilling to be sealed, bursting forth with unprecedentedly brilliant starlight. The starlight it revealed carried a cold aura and exuded an inviolable imperial might!
Streams of starlight collided directly with the long serpent, causing the entire Xuanmie Temple to tremble violently, and even the Annihilation Stone beneath their feet developed fine cracks.

The Nightmare Lord's brows, hidden behind the mist, seemed to furrow almost imperceptibly.

Gui Longji snorted coldly upon seeing this, a glint of cold light flashing in her eyes.

An unclaimed magical artifact is still struggling; if it weren't for the fear of damaging it, I could handle it all by myself.

Her ethereal aura surged again, and dozens of long snakes shot out from her hands.

The other eight temple elders also exerted their full power, and their robes began to flutter due to the surge of energy.

With the combined power of ten powerful figures from the Temple of the End, the raging starlight was finally suppressed little by little, and the range of its light continued to shrink.

"Roar--!!!"

A tremendous roar came from inside the Star Seal.

Endless starlight converged wildly, instantly breaking through the encirclement of the long snake and condensing into a magnificent phantom that was hundreds of feet tall in the sky!

The phantom was clad in a dazzling battle robe woven from the trails of countless stars, and wore an imperial crown symbolizing the lord of the celestial sphere.

Stimulated by the crowd, the remaining will of the Ziwei Emperor and the original laws of the Star Seal transformed into a gigantic figure, resembling a star god!
"roll!"

The Star God emitted a mental fluctuation and waved his hand.

The illusory images of the stars in the heavens appeared, converging into a dazzling galaxy, and crashed fiercely towards Nightmare Lord, Guilong Ji, and the others!

“Rumble——!!!”

The eight temple elders were the first to be hit, all spitting out a mouthful of blood as they were sent flying.

Gui Longji also let out a muffled groan, her face turning pale, clearly indicating that she had also suffered some injury.
