Chapter 12661 Behind the Golden Light

Chapter 12661 Behind the Golden Light
Now that he knew the location of Crimson Gold Mountain, Ye Chen planned to go there and find out more.

If we could find the remains of the female Yang Goddess, that would be the best outcome.

Ye Chen rested briefly in the sea of ​​flowers at dawn, and set off immediately the next day.

He didn't set off immediately after receiving the news because he had experienced quite a few twists and turns at the Temple of the End.

He needs to rest and get back to his peak condition; otherwise, haste makes waste, and acting too rashly could backfire.

At this moment, Ye Chen's cultivation had reached the initial stage of the ninth level of the Divine Illumination Realm, and he was about to break through. The Yang God Heavenly Pearl illuminated his body and lifeline, and the black mist that shrouded his many divine powers gradually receded.

He can now fully wield his former divine authority, which gives him much more confidence.

Riding the Azure Dragon Boat, Ye Chen headed towards Crimson Gold Mountain.

Crimson Gold Mountain is located on the border of Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent. Ye Chen had already determined the coordinates. He used his spatial magic to break through the void and arrived at the territory of Crimson Gold Mountain in less than a quarter of an hour.

From the Nine Cang Academy on the other side of the starry sky to the Crimson Gold Mountain on the border of Yin Yang Heaven Continent, the journey is long and arduous. If traveling normally by Azure Dragon Boat, it would take at least a few days.

However, Ye Chen used spatial magic to traverse the void very quickly, arriving in an instant.

This kind of spell is only for traveling and does not touch the secrets of heaven, so it will not cause any backlash; it only consumes some spiritual energy.

Upon reaching the edge of Crimson Gold Mountain, Ye Chen disembarked from the Azure Dragon Boat, exhaled, and gently adjusted his breathing to recover his depleted spiritual energy.

Looking up, all I could see ahead was a vast snow-capped mountain range, majestic and imposing, with howling winds and biting cold. A beam of golden sunlight shone on the mountain's summit, creating the spectacular sight of "Golden Mountain Under the Sun." The mountain, which was originally covered in white snow, had its peaks turned a deep reddish-gold, a truly magnificent scene.

"Huh? Where did the sunlight come from?"

Ye Chen looked around. The sky was overcast and there was no sun. The sunlight that shone on the snow-capped mountain peak seemed to come from nowhere.

"This place is a bit strange."

Ye Chen looked around again and saw that the world around Crimson Gold Mountain was pitch black, filled with chaotic energy, with only a ray of sunlight, which seemed to come from nowhere, shining on the top of the snow mountain.

"This Crimson Gold Mountain must have drifted from beyond the world."

Since the abyss collapsed, the world has been filled with light. Many places in Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent are covered in a bright white light, and some places have even been completely whitened and turned into blank nothingness.

But this area of ​​Crimson Gold Mountain was pitch black, filled with chaotic energy. Ye Chen saw traces of tectonic plates piecing together beneath his feet.

This Crimson Gold Mountain appears to have drifted from beyond the world and merged with the tectonic plates of Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent.

Looking more closely, he saw two low hills in front of the Crimson Gold Snow Mountain, shrouded in darkness and confusion, and not very clearly.

But at a glance, he recognized them as the two hills formed from the remains of the female yang goddess.

Previously, in the images shown by Ye Xingcai, those two hills appeared quite large, but now they seem much smaller compared to that crimson-gold snow mountain.

However, this is just an illusion created by the contrast; in reality, those two hills are also thousands of feet high!
"That golden light..."

Within the Reincarnation Graveyard, Haotian Lanshen saw the golden sunlight illuminating the snow-capped mountain peak and seemed to sense something, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Senior, what's wrong?"

Ye Chen asked.

He also sensed that the golden light was extraordinary, coming from an unknown source, dazzling and brilliant, as if it could suppress all darkness.

"That golden light is definitely not simple. It seems to have been left by some powerful being. If the tombstone of the Crimson Moon Goddess could be bathed in that golden light, perhaps it could awaken her."

Haotian Lanshen looked at the tombstone of the Crimson Moon Goddess. The Crimson Moon Goddess had shown signs of awakening before, but she was always just one breath short.

At that moment, seeing that golden sunlight, he felt it was an opportunity. If the tombstone were bathed in golden light, it would surely awaken the Crimson Moon Goddess!
The future situation is becoming increasingly dangerous. Haotian Lanshen is only one person and has no confidence that he can protect Ye Chen. He must awaken a new powerful being as soon as possible!
"Oh?"

Ye Chen's heart stirred. Looking at the golden light in the distance, he thought, "If it can really awaken the Crimson Moon Goddess, that would be wonderful."

"Hehe, hehe, that's that person's afterglow, of course it's powerful!"

At this moment, Nightmare Demon Mountain, who was meditating and digesting the Chaos Ancestor God Source, opened his eyes. The tentacles on his face trembled, and his gaze, looking through the Reincarnation Graveyard at the golden sunlight, was filled with a strange, awe-inspiring, and mysterious expression.

Ye Chen asked, "What do you mean, 'that person'? Who is it?"

Nightmare Demon Mountain just chuckled, seemingly hesitant, but didn't elaborate.

As if guided by a sudden inspiration, Ye Chen said, "Is it the Great Heavenly Emperor?"

Upon hearing Ye Chen utter the words "Great Heavenly Emperor," Nightmare Demon Mountain's body trembled violently, his smile freezing for a moment before he chuckled again, neither denying nor daring to nod, only saying:
"Great Demon Lord, you know who that person is, that's enough."

"The revival of chaos has actually allowed that person's brilliance to shine anew, tsk tsk..."

It smacked its lips, its eyes slightly narrowed, as if it hadn't expected this, and didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Ye Chen suddenly realized that the golden light shining on the snow mountain was the afterglow of that "Great Heavenly Emperor"!
The Great Heavenly Emperor was one of the most powerful beings in the chaotic era. After his fall, he severed his own heavenly secrets, and few people in later generations knew of his existence. Even Haotian Lanshen could not grasp the cause and effect of his death.

However, Nightmare Demon Mountain, who was listed among the evil gods, had heard of him.

Ye Chen sensed that the light of the Great Heavenly Emperor had long since been extinguished, but recently, with the revival of chaos, even the light of the Great Heavenly Emperor had been revived to some extent.

"Ye Chen, you shall ascend the snow-capped mountain and, with the help of the Great Heavenly Emperor's light, awaken the Crimson Moon Goddess!"

Haotianlan Shinto.

In many people's hearts, the Great Heavenly Emperor is a taboo subject, something that cannot be spoken of. But Haotian Lan Shenqi is fearless and unafraid, calling out the Great Heavenly Emperor's name without changing his expression.

"Ok!"

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Ye Chen stepped into the territory of Crimson Gold Mountain and headed towards the snow-capped mountain.

As soon as Ye Chen stepped into the territory of Crimson Gold Mountain, he felt an extremely cold aura rushing towards him. The wind howled in the snow-covered mountains, the snow was thick and the cold was biting.

Fortunately, Ye Chen's Primordial Divine Remains had a strong physique, which allowed him to withstand the cold.

Within the snow-capped mountains, the ever-present chaotic energy was something Ye Chen could withstand with the help of the Yang God Heavenly Pearl.

Upon closer inspection, a layer of black mist-like energy flowed above the pure white snow; that was the chaotic energy.

This snow-capped mountain is a polluted area; if an ordinary person were to set foot here, they would surely die.

After walking for a while, Ye Chen heard a deafening fighting sound coming from ahead, with fierce energy fluctuations spreading and causing loud noises throughout the mountains and valleys.

Upon closer inspection, they saw two figures locked in a fierce battle.

It was actually the Heavenly Emperor and the Purple Star Emperor!
"The Heavenly Emperor, the Purple Star Emperor, it's them!"

Ye Chen was immediately surprised when he saw the two emperors.

"You old scoundrel, get out!"

The Heavenly Emperor roared in fury, his body radiating golden light, and his imperial authority unleashed countless weapons that swept across the sky and struck at the Purple Emperor.

"The Holy Mother's milk is mine, how dare you steal it?"

The Purple Star Emperor scoffed dismissively and waved his hand, "All the stars will perish!"

High in the sky, millions of stars appeared, and under his guidance, they crashed down with a thunderous roar, turning into meteors that hurtled towards the Heavenly Emperor.

At this moment, his whole body was shrouded in chaotic energy, his eyes were wide open, his hair was disheveled, and he looked like a demon. The meteors in the Star God Technique that he unleashed were also mixed with chaotic evil energy.

The Heavenly Emperor then unleashed two eternal barriers to withstand the Ziwei Emperor's attacks, and then seized the opportunity to strike with his sword.

The two emperors fought to the death, both driven to madness.

Beneath their feet lay a milky white pool, the water of which seemed to be milk, thick and pure white, exuding a maternal fragrance.

Most of the battle aura emanating from the two emperors was absorbed by this milky white pool, with only a small portion leaking out into the outside world.

That pool was incredibly vast, seemingly capable of encompassing everything.

Ye Chen looked again and saw two streams flowing gently into the pool. The water in those two streams was a milky white, viscous liquid, exuding a sense of sacred purity.

Looking out, Ye Chen saw that the stream seemed to flow down from the two large hills.

He immediately understood that the two large hills formed from the body of the female Yang Goddess were flowing with milk, which gathered here and was what the Ziwei Emperor called "Holy Mother's Divine Milk".

This Holy Mother's milk possesses a gentle and luminous power that can dispel chaotic evil energy. There is no chaotic energy surrounding the pool of divine milk.

The Heavenly Emperor and the Purple Star Emperor clearly both coveted the Holy Mother's Divine Milk, and fought fiercely over it.

The two emperors were evenly matched, and it was unknown how long they fought without a clear victor.

Ye Chen did not expect that after the conflict of the Star Seals, these two emperors would actually flee to this place. Judging from their desperate duel, they looked like two dying wild beasts fighting each other.

Ye Chen didn't dare get too close, fearing he might be caught in the crossfire.

Upon seeing this, Haotian Lanshen said, "Judging from their desperate fight, they will probably both be severely injured in the end. Ye Chen, you can wait here."

Nightmare Demon Mountain, standing to the side, also laughed and said, "Hehe, hehe, this is what they call 'when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits'!"

Ye Chen's heart stirred. The two Eternal Walls on the Heavenly Emperor's body, the divine inheritance of the Ziwei Emperor, and this Holy Mother's Divine Milk Pool were all rare treasures. If he could obtain them all, he would truly make a fortune.

With this in mind, Ye Chen hid to the side and waited, hoping to take advantage of the situation.

The two emperors fought fiercely, and the battle was so intense that Ye Chen waited for a whole day without seeing a victor emerge.

Another day passed, and the outcome remained uncertain. Instead, a faint, painful groan reached the depths of Ye Chen's soul.

That groan came from the Yangshen Heavenly Pearl!

The female Yang Goddess seemed to be in a state of agonizing torment. Ye Chen felt a chill in his heart and looked ahead. He saw two large hills in front of the Crimson Gold Snow Mountain, covered with black mist and countless wriggling insects.

The insects gnawed at the hill, and holy light emanated from within, annihilating many of the insects. However, the number of insects seemed endless; as soon as one batch died, a large number of them would multiply.

"Why do these insects look so familiar?"

"Is it an evil entity born from chaos, or is it being manipulated by someone behind the scenes?"

Ye Chen frowned slightly. Seeing that the two emperors had not yet determined a winner, he knew that waiting any longer would be futile.

He needs to collect the remains of the female Yang Goddess and those two large hills as soon as possible, otherwise they will be completely devoured by Chaos, which would be extremely bad.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen did not wait any longer. He bypassed the two emperors by taking a side path and headed towards the two large hills.

The two emperors, engrossed in their fierce battle, failed to notice Ye Chen and continued their deadly fight.

As Ye Chen continued his journey, the closer he got to the Crimson Gold Snow Mountain, the stronger the wind became, and large snowflakes drifted down from the void. The chaotic darkness grew increasingly intense, with only the golden sunlight illuminating the snow mountain being the sole source of light.

Ye Chen possessed the Night Emperor Scripture, which allowed him to merge with darkness. Therefore, traveling through the chaotic darkness was not too strenuous. However, along the way, there were numerous dark and chaotic evil creatures that constantly harassed and invaded him. Ye Chen fought his way through the darkness, and it took him two full days to reach the foot of those two large mountains.

Standing here, looking up, you can see behind the two large hills the towering, majestic, and towering Red Gold Snow Mountain, which is tens of thousands of feet high and pierces the clouds. Its peak is radiant with golden light, making it a truly magnificent sight.

"First, collect the remains of the Goddess of the Sun, then climb to the top of the snow mountain and, with the help of the Great Heavenly Emperor's remaining light, awaken the Goddess of the Crimson Moon!"

Ye Chen made up his mind and looked at the two large hills. Although it was dark and chaotic, he could see clearly that the hills were covered with insects, crawling and gnawing, which were annihilated by the holy light and milk emanating from the hills.

But as soon as one insect dies, another springs forth from the void, endlessly, which is very strange.

The holy light and milk emanating from the hills gradually faded. Judging from the situation, it would probably be long before the two large hills were completely devoured by the insects.

"The Law of Time, the Great Time Stop Technique!"

Seeing this, Ye Chen did not hesitate. He waved his hand and used the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form. In the dark sky, a huge palm flashing with the laws of time pressed down with a rumble, pressing down on the two big hills from a distance.

The time-stopping technique was cast, freezing everything on the two large hills, and all the insects remained motionless.

Ye Chen then tried to use his spatial magic to collect all the insects, but unexpectedly, the insects, which had just been in a state of time stop, seemed to have received some kind of help and started moving again.

Even more surprisingly, many insects spread their leathery wings and flew towards Ye Chen's giant hand that was suspended in the air, frantically gnawing at Ye Chen's palm.

Those insects were filled with chaotic evil energy, extremely ferocious, and they quickly devoured the time laws swirling around Ye Chen's giant hand, one by one.

Ye Chen felt a sudden itching and stinging sensation in his palm, as if he were truly being devoured by millions of insects. His expression changed, and with a tremor of his hand, the golden light of his Divine Illumination Realm exploded out, blasting away and crushing the insects. He glanced around and shouted:

"You cowardly rat hiding your head and tail, come out!"

With this move, Ye Chen realized that these insects were definitely not simple chaotic evil creatures; someone must be controlling them behind the scenes.

Looking out at the starry sky, there weren't many experts who were proficient in Gu insects. Ye Chen immediately thought of one person.

The Witchcraft King among the Eight Underworld Gods!
He scanned his surroundings with his divine sense, trying to find traces of the Witch King, but found the area empty and devoid of any enemy presence.

This is strange; Ye Chen is certain that there must be an enemy present.

However, the other party's aura was concealed very well, and even Ye Chen did not detect it.

Buzz!
A rapid flapping sound rang out, and all the insects on the two hills took flight, densely packed, obscuring the sky, their chaotic and filthy aura swirling around them as they frantically pounced on Ye Chen.

The manipulator behind the insects clearly realized that if Ye Chen wasn't dealt with, they wouldn't be able to safely absorb the spiritual energy from the remains of the Female Yang Goddess.

Countless flying insects, like a black torrent, accompanied by sharp buzzing, rushed towards Ye Chen.

These insects had shells as hard as iron and mouthparts as sharp as knives, and they were about to pounce on Ye Chen's body.

"The cycle of reincarnation, the burial ground of life and death!"

Ye Chen took a step forward and roared. A terrifying Samsara Dharma Image bloomed from behind him, rising a thousand feet high with a thunderous roar. It was majestic and magnificent, and its entire body was surrounded by Yin-Yang black and white spiritual energy.

A powerful storm of reincarnation swept out, shredding and annihilating all the attacking insects.

The insects, which had previously been able to regenerate infinitely, were strangled by Ye Chen's Reincarnation Technique and could no longer regenerate. The corpses of billions of insects accumulated on the snow, forming a thick layer of ash.

This is the seventh level of the Reincarnation Burial Technique, a supreme move that buries life and death. It has immense destructive power, capable of annihilating living beings and casting them into an absolute death zone, making them unable to revive.

Even the strongest beings in the Temple of the End would perish if suppressed by Ye Chen's Burial of Life and Death Technique, and would not be able to be resurrected in the Primordial Dao Embryo.

This powerful technique of burying life and death was something Ye Chen had only managed to master by borrowing the Stone of Destiny. Now that he was using it, its power was indeed immense.

The thousand-foot-tall Dharma image of reincarnation bursts forth with yin and yang light, illuminating heaven and earth, a truly magnificent sight.

Ye Chen's gaze sharpened as he looked around, searching for any trace of the enemy, but he still found nothing.

"Where is the enemy? How did they manage to hide so well?"

Ye Chen felt strange; he hadn't expected that even at this point, he still hadn't been able to find any trace of the enemy.

"Witchcraft King, come out here!"

Ye Chen roared, his voice echoing through thousands of mountains and valleys, but he still couldn't shake out the trace of the Witchcraft Evil King.

Haotian Lanshen also tried to spy, but he couldn't find the enemy's location either.

"Suppress the true intent of the Heaven-Burning Realm!"

Ye Chen snorted coldly and simply mobilized the energy of the Burning Heaven Fragment. With a slap of his hand, a huge, towering palm print descended from the sky.

The palm print was wreathed in terrifying flames, containing the true meaning of the Great Calamity of Burning Heaven, which was incomparably domineering.

His palm print had only reached halfway in the air when it stirred up a raging storm of flames in the snow-covered mountains and fields, turning the once incredibly cold snow-covered landscape into a scorching inferno.

"what--"

A scream rang out, and a figure was seen falling from the void in the distance, clearly suppressed by the giant palm of the blazing sky and unable to hide any longer.
