Chapter 12672 Rescue Method

Chapter 12672 Rescue Method
The chaotic evil creatures retreated again. Ye Chen watched calmly. With Nightmare Demon Mountain around, he didn't need to worry about ordinary evil creatures bothering him.

"We need to rescue the 'Butcher' first. With such dense, chaotic fog, I wonder if he can withstand it?"

The chaotic energy in the Eternal Silence Finger Mountain is now much denser than before, and Ye Chen guesses there are two reasons for this.

Firstly, there is the broader context of the resurgence of chaos. Like a disease, with each passing day, the chaos in the world deepens and intensifies.

In particular, the identity of the Dao Ancestor Wuzhong is extraordinary, and since his head has been cut off and his body is incomplete, he is more susceptible to invasion by chaos.

Secondly, Jing Liyue's previous attempt to steal the corpse of Wuzhong Daozu may have disturbed the sleeping Wuzhong Daozu, causing the chaotic energy to rage even more fiercely.

The chaotic energy had turned into a thick fog, enveloping the entire Eternal Silence Finger Mountain, making it difficult to breathe. Ye Chen worried that the Butcher wouldn't be able to withstand it in this environment.

The Butcher, another deputy temple master, was suppressed by the Shepherd under the Eternal Silence Mountain.

Last time, Ye Chen was able to escape from Eternal Silence Mountain with the help of the Butcher.

The butcher revered him as the "Last King," so he would naturally do his best to save the butcher.

Ye Chen swept his divine sense across the depths of the Eternal Silence Finger Mountain. In the surging chaos, the Five Finger Stone Pillars stood tall as if in the clouds. He stepped on the rotten, flesh-and-blood ground, carrying the stone coffin of the Ancestor Zhan Tian on his shoulder, and walked towards the Five Finger Stone Pillars.

Nightmare Mountain followed closely behind, its scales glowing eerily, roaring repeatedly to intimidate the surrounding evil creatures.

Before long, Ye Chen arrived at the five-fingered stone pillar and saw the butcher.

The butcher, disheveled and covered in blood, was still suppressed under the Five Fingers Stone Pillar.

"The Last King..."

Seemingly sensing Ye Chen's arrival, the butcher let out a hoarse voice, like a whetstone.

Ye Chen saw the dense chaotic energy constantly assaulting the butcher like a tide. The butcher's face turned black, and there were many cracks in his skin. From the cracks, wriggling worms emerged, making him look extremely ferocious and terrifying.

"Senior Butcher..."

Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine. Judging from the butcher's appearance, it probably wouldn't be long before he was completely corrupted by chaos and turned into a monstrous monster.

"I'll get you out right away!"

Ye Chen was about to rescue the butcher when his pupils suddenly contracted.

The butcher's body suddenly convulsed, more worms emerged from the cracks in his flesh, the veins on his exposed arms bulged and quickly turned pitch black, his bones crackled and popped, and his ten fingers swelled into sharp claws with nails as black as knives.

His entire face was twisted and deformed, his eyes were filled with chaotic gray mist, and he let out a non-human roar.

"Oh no! He's going to fall into evil and become a demon!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Nightmare Mountain strode forward, intending to strike first and kill the Butcher.

Ye Chen, unwilling to harm the butcher, reached out and grabbed Nightmare Demon Mountain.

"Roar!"

With that brief delay, the butcher roared and sprang forward like a wild beast, lunging at Ye Chen with unparalleled ferocity!

He had been suppressed under the Five Fingers Stone Pillar and unable to escape. Now that he had broken free, only his upper body was able to spring out, while his lower body was still pressed under the Five Fingers!

This scene was extremely horrifying, as if the butcher had torn his own body apart, leaving only his upper body to lunge at Ye Chen.

From the severed point on his body, his internal organs, intestines, and black blood gushed out, along with many strange and terrifying worms and unknown worms. Judging from this, his body may have long been corrupted by chaos, and had already become soft and rotten. With a slight struggle, it was torn in two.

"Damn it!"

Enraged, Nightmare Mountain swung its claws and charged at Butcher.

Unexpectedly, the butcher was incredibly agile, as nimble as a monkey. He slapped his arms with both hands, using the momentum to leap into the air, and fiercely pounced on Ye Chen, his mouth open to reveal his blood-stained teeth.

Judging from the situation, he seemed to be like a zombie, wanting to bite Ye Chen's neck.

To the chaotic demons, Ye Chen's fresh and spiritual flesh was undoubtedly an enticing delicacy.

Seeing that the butcher only had an upper body and was lunging at him, Ye Chen felt a slight tremor in his heart. He used the "Purple Star Hexagram Formation," and a hexagram formation appeared out of thin air, divided into six points, imprisoning the butcher within it.

The butcher was trapped in the star array and could not move forward even an inch. He roared wildly in the air, his hands flailing wildly, trying to grab Ye Chen, but he was always just a little short.

This "Purple Star Hexagram Array" is a secret technique from the "Purple Star Control Technique". Ye Chen can instantly imprison some powerful demons.

"This guy deserves to die!"

Nightmare Mountain cursed and reached out to tear the Butcher to pieces.

"Wait a minute."

Ye Chen raised his hand to stop him. Seeing that the butcher had become a demon and lost his mind, he flipped his left hand and took out the blood talisman that the butcher had given him at the beginning.

When Ye Chen first came to Yongji Zhishan and met the butcher for the first time, the butcher gave him a blood talisman before parting.

Besides pointing out the exit, the blood talisman was also said by the butcher to be able to restore his senses if he were to fall into evil one day.

Ye Chen then slapped the blood talisman in his hand onto the butcher's forehead.

This blood talisman contains the butcher's primordial blood essence. As soon as it is applied, with a hiss, the blood talisman instantly bursts into a scarlet flame, and strands of blood seep into the butcher's flesh.

The butcher's movements suddenly froze, his whole body trembled violently, the black aura around him dissipated, his eyes gradually regained their clarity, but a painful whimper escaped his throat.

Ye Chen removed the Star Imprisonment Array, and the Butcher's body fell down, only to be caught by Nightmare Demon Mountain.

"Ho...ho..."

The butcher gasped for breath, and after a moment, he raised his head to look at Ye Chen, his voice extremely weak as he said:

"...Your Majesty, I...I almost ruined you."

Nightmare Demon Mountain sneered, "Old man, you still can't hurt the Great Demon Lord."

The butcher paused, then realized it made sense, and gave a bitter smile.

Ye Chen said, "Senior, you... are seriously injured. Let me treat you first."

He saw that the butcher was only half a body left, and the injuries were so severe that it would probably take a very long time for him to recover.

He immediately stepped forward, reached out his hand, and tried to treat the butcher.

The butcher waved his hand and said, "No need... My Lord, I am exhausted, even if healed I will be crippled."

He looked up at the heavily overcast sky and murmured as if in a dream.
“My junior brother, the shepherd, didn’t kill me because he didn’t want to get involved in karma. He suppressed me here so that I would be annihilated by chaos, and then the butcher’s power would sink into the earth’s veins and be used by him.”

At this point, he grinned and looked at Ye Chen.

"Rather than let my junior brother take away my power, Your Majesty, I might as well give you this butcher's power."

Ye Chen said, "For me?"

The butcher said, "Yes."

As he finished speaking, there was no trace of sorrow in his eyes, but rather a resolute clarity.

He closed his eyes, and suddenly blood-red patterns, like venomous snakes, began to crawl across his body. Then, his entire body burst into crimson flames, which completely enveloped him and made his body crackle as he burned.

"hateful!"

Nightmare Demon Mountain let out a strange cry and immediately let go.

The butcher fell from its embrace, but before he hit the ground, he was already burned to ashes in the rolling crimson flames.

All the remaining life force, laws, and authority within its body converged and condensed together, forming a blood-red divine source shaped like a scimitar, dripping blood from its blade, with the two ancient seal characters "Butcher" printed on it, floating in the air.

This is the entire legacy and authority of "Butcher," the deputy temple master of the Temple of the End!
Ye Chen watched in silence, sensing a terrifying power lurking within the crimson divine source. It contained a powerful aura of death, madness, slaughter, and annihilation, but these powers and auras were as small as embryos, only buds, not yet fully grown.

If it truly grows and matures, this power, if not enough to annihilate the entire starry sky, will at least be able to crush an ordinary pillar god!
Within the Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent, there are several beings whose authority is comparable to that of the Heavenly Pillar Realm.

And the Butcher is one of those individuals!

If his authority were to unleash its true power, it would be quite terrifying!
"What a delicious divine essence!"

When Nightmare Demon Mountain saw the crimson divine source, he licked his lips, revealing a burning, greedy expression, and immediately reached out to grab it.

Ye Chen was even faster. With a grab from a distance, he seized the Butcher's Divine Source and returned it to the Reincarnation Graveyard.

"The Great Demon Lord..."

Nightmare Demon Mountain looked at Ye Chen with a hint of resentment, "You already have so much power, why are you still trying to take it from me?"

Ye Chen said, "It's not about stealing. This was entrusted to me by the butcher. It's not your place to lay a finger on it."

The word "tampering" was a bit too strong. Nightmare Demon Mountain shrank back, afraid of offending and angering Ye Chen, and immediately dared not say another word.

Ye Chen obtained the Butcher God Source and looked up at the gloomy and chaotic sky.

The butcher entrusted power to him, which was an immense trust, believing that he was the sage who was "unrivaled in heaven and earth" and the last king who could destroy the world and then create it again!

"Great Demon Lord, what's next? Should we start digging up that corpse?"

Nightmare Demon Mountain asked in a low voice, glancing at the five-finger stone pillar beside him. This was the palm of the Endless Dao Ancestor, each one pendant extending deep into the earth's veins, merging with the entire Eternal Silence Finger Mountain Forbidden Land.

Ye Chen looked at the five-finger stone pillar and pondered for a moment.

He released his divine sense, penetrating through the five-fingered stone pillar to delve into the ground, where he discovered a terrifying energy source hidden beneath, with a glimmer of divine light concealed within the endless chaos.

That endless chaos is like a bomb; if you touch it even slightly, it might explode and turn into a celestial demon!
“Protect me, I will begin digging now.”

Ye Chen gave the order to Nightmare Demon Mountain.

"Yes!"

Nightmare Demon Mountain responded respectfully and stood guard to one side, wary of any disturbances from the chaotic evil.

Ye Chen took a breath and communicated with Fu Jin and Chen Xi, saying, "Fu Jin, Chen Xi, lend me a hand."

The two women were already prepared. They immediately sat down cross-legged, released their divinity, and blessed Ye Chen.

They are the embodiment of miracles and hope. Ye Chen is about to excavate the corpse of the Dao Ancestor of No End, which is fraught with danger. Only by adding the blessing of miracles and hope can he ward off evil.

Haotian Lanshen was also watching intently, ready to make a move at any moment. His body and spirit had recovered, and under the nourishment of the immortal pool and spiritual spring, he was even better than before.

Looking out at the starry sky, he was confident that if he were to fight alone, he would not be afraid even if he faced powerful figures such as the Black Queen Mother, the Listening Ancestor, the Heavenly Question Ancestor, the Lord of the Formless Palace, and the Shepherd.

However, this Wuzhong Daozu is in danger of falling into the clutches of a Heavenly Demon. Once he transforms into a Heavenly Demon, the Chaos Qi of the Heavenly Demon will crush him, and even Haotian Lanshen will have no chance of winning. He can only do his best.

"Ye Fei'er, prepare the Heaven-Burning Fragments."

Ye Chen then contacted Ye Feier inside the Nine Yang True Roc, asking her to prepare the Heaven-Burning Fragments.

If anything unexpected happens, he will suppress the Dao Ancestor Wuzhong even if it means using the power of the Burning Heaven Fragments.

"understood."

Ye Feier was prepared. She had been in control of the Burning Heaven Fragment for some time now. Under the terrifying heat of the Burning Heaven, her skin was red, as if she were in purgatory. She was now holding on with her willpower.

Having made all the necessary preparations, Ye Chen released his divine sense completely, penetrating into the ground.

His divine sense transformed into countless strands, like countless threads, tightly binding the corpse of the Dao Ancestor Wuzhong buried underground.

"rise!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and tried to forcibly drag the huge corpse out from underground!
However, the corpse was extremely heavy, and it seemed to be rooted to the ground, as if the entire world had been welded together.

Ye Chen exerted his divine sense, enough to stir up a whole starry sky, but he couldn't move the corpse even a fraction of an inch.

He also knew that excavating the corpse of the Dao Ancestor Wuzhong would be no easy task, so he was not impatient or rash, and continued to use the threads of divine sense to drag it little by little.

If he can dig up and subdue the corpse of the Dao Ancestor Wuzhong within three days, then victory will be his.

However, Ye Chen was unsure whether this excavation would be successful; he only said that he would give it his all.

Time passed slowly, and as Ye Chen's divine sense penetrated deeper into the earth's veins, the chaotic energy hidden within them was also stirred up.

Although Ye Chen had not yet unearthed the corpse of the Dao Ancestor of No End, the chaotic energy in the entire Forbidden Zone of Eternal Silence Finger Mountain surged even more violently, even boiling over. Countless chaotic evil creatures cackled and howled, and dark shadows clustered around the Five Finger Stone Pillar, watching it menacingly.

"Roar!"

Nightmare Demon Mountain revealed its true form, its body transforming into a towering mountain, fiercely sweeping across the surroundings, causing many chaotic evil creatures to hesitate to make a move for a moment.

"Great Demon Lord, you'd better hurry... I might not be able to hold out for three days."

Nightmare Demon Mountain looked at Ye Chen and said.

The chaotic energy here is becoming increasingly dense and turbulent. In such a harsh environment, the violence and ferocity deep within the Nightmare Demon Mountain's bloodline are gradually being awakened.

It estimated that it wouldn't last three days before its consciousness would be lost, and it would revert to being a monster that only knew how to kill.

Ye Chen's expression darkened, and he continued to release threads of divine sense to drag and excavate the corpse of the Endless Dao Ancestor. The glow of dawn emanated from his body, as if blessing him, but the rainbow of miracles had not yet appeared.

He hasn't been able to create a miracle yet.

Time flies, and the day is over in no time.

The turbulent, boiling chaos energy stirred up by the Eternal Silence Finger Mountain grew increasingly ferocious, breaking out of the forbidden zone of the Eternal Silence Finger Mountain and spreading towards the Temple of the End.

The shepherd watched from the sky. Fortunately, he had already set up the illusion array. The chaotic energy that spread out swept and raged in the surrounding area for a while before flowing back into the Eternal Silence Finger Mountain. It did not really harm the territory of the Temple of the End.

"It's been a day already. Judging from the Lord of Reincarnation's appearance, he's probably going to fail, right?"

The shepherd felt somewhat relieved. Although the chaotic energy was raging fiercely, it could not break through his maze, which meant that the situation was still under his control and the Heavenly Demon had not yet been born.

……

at the same time.

The Temple of the End, atop a floating island.

The Lord of Wuxiang Palace sat cross-legged on the blue stone, his divine sense also observing the situation on the other side of Yongji Finger Mountain.

"As expected... we can't dig it out?"

His expression was somewhat complicated.

The corpse of the Dao Ancestor of No End is a hot potato. Even before the Divine Path Trial begins, this corpse will degenerate into a Heavenly Demon.

He hoped someone could handle it; if Ye Chen could resolve it, that would be even better.

However, he did not want to see Ye Chen's power grow stronger.

After all, Ye Chen is a Heavenly Saint and the Last King. If Ye Chen is not suppressed, it is impossible for him to become a Buddha.

Ideally, Ye Chen and Wuzhong Daozu would both suffer heavy losses, with Wuzhong Daozu's demonic energy extinguished and all of Ye Chen's power and influence falling into the earth's veins for his own use.

But judging from the current situation, Ye Chen couldn't even dig out the corpse, yet he stirred up the earth's veins.

Once Ye Chen leaves, and the Dao Ancestor of No End transforms into a Heavenly Demon and crawls out again, the Temple of the End will pay a heavy price.

Although the shepherd had set up a maze-like illusion array, the Lord of the Wuxiang Palace also had various hidden methods to prevent Ye Chen from escaping, intending to trap him to death in the forbidden area of ​​Yongji Finger Mountain.

However, trapping Ye Chen would inevitably come at a huge price.

The Lord of Wuxiang Palace waited another day, but saw that the chaotic energy on the side of Yongji Pointing Mountain was boiling more and more, but there was still no sign of Wuzhong Daozu being dug out.

"It seems I overestimated this Lord of Reincarnation."

"Fine, I'll have to offer some more bargaining chips."
