Chapter 12703 A New Destiny
There is much more unknown than known.
However, people tend to focus on what is known, while neglecting the much larger unknown.
Ye Chen was once again shaken by what Amon said, and felt a sense of enlightenment.
Amon looked at Ye Chen. After he said what he had just said, his face became clearer, and it was clear that he was a handsome young man with exceptionally clear eyes.
"So, do you understand? Lord of Reincarnation, chaos is the true foundation of the Great Dao. All laws, all known things, all light, and even all darkness are just small ripples in the boundless sea of chaos, which will eventually sink back into the sea of ignorance."
As Amon discussed the Dao with Ye Chen, the deeper the discussion went, the clearer his appearance became, and even his aura grew more powerful and vigorous.
Ye Chen felt as if his Dao heart had been disturbed. He kept a close watch and was not easily swayed by Amon. He remained quite wary and asked, "Why are you telling me all this?"
Amon, still smiling, paused for a moment, then gestured and said:
"Come with me, I'll take you to witness the final truth."
As he spoke, he took a step forward, and wisps of chaotic and obscure mist emanated from his body, quickly engulfing all the surrounding paths and all the gates.
Reincarnation, fate, time and space—all the laws of nature are submerged in boundless chaos.
This submersion was surprisingly natural, as if all things in the universe were inherently in a state of chaos.
Chaos is the only reality; everything else that is known and knowable is merely an unexpected splash in the ocean of chaos.
Ye Chen watched Amon's retreating figure, his thoughts quite complicated, but in the end he followed after him, secretly activating the Eternal Wall to protect himself.
Soon, Ye Chen followed Amon into the maze.
This maze is a huge palace building with countless branching paths scattered throughout.
Amon seemed to know all the roads and proceeded with ease.
Ye Chen followed behind him, winding through the maze. He frowned and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
He always kept his distance from Amon.
Amon didn't turn around, but kept walking forward, saying, "We're almost there, let's walk a little further."
The two walked a little further when Ye Chen suddenly saw a tattered mural on the wall of the passageway ahead.
When Amon reached the mural, he seemed to pause for a moment, then continued walking forward.
"mural……"
Ye Chen recalled the contents of the Book of Destiny, and his hair stood on end, and he became fully alert.
He walked carefully past the mural, seemingly without incident, but in the next instant, a sharp and shrill roar suddenly came from behind him.
From the mural, a ferocious demon sprang forth, its claws outstretched as it lunged at Ye Chen.
This attack was extremely fierce. Ye Chen turned around and clearly saw the demonic ghost rushing towards him, but he couldn't pinpoint its location.
Holding his sword, he looked around, feeling lost and confused.
His perception of time and space was completely disrupted.
The demons and monsters were right in front of him, yet he had the illusion that they were far away. Even with a sword in his hand, he didn't know where to swing it.
Amon turned around and saw Ye Chen suddenly attacked by the demons and evil spirits, but he revealed a cold smile.
scoff-
Ye Chen drew his sword.
Looking around in bewilderment, he simply closed his eyes and, in an instant, unleashed the Divine Path of Space and Time, pouring his sword energy into the countless layers of space and time that might exist before him.
He didn't know which dimension of time and space the demon was hiding in, but as long as he exhausted all dimensions and space, he could naturally kill the demon.
Ye Chen's physical strength was quickly depleted after unleashing a sword aura that seemed to encompass all of time and space in an instant. Fortunately, his cultivation had advanced to the third level of the Undying Realm, and his physique and cultivation had both improved by leaps and bounds compared to the past.
He can withstand this sword strike that transcends time and space!
"what--!"
With a shrill scream, the demon that had sprung out of the mural was slashed to the ground by Ye Chen's sword, turning into a pool of murky corpse water.
Ye Chen took out an eyeball and a piece of bone. These two items resonated with the corpse fluid, clearly originating from the same source as the demonic energy in the painting.
The celestial demon depicted in the painting revealed by the Book of Destiny has now been slain by Ye Chen, who merely overexerted his strength.
"No, how could this be..."
Amon was completely stunned when he saw this.
His expression changed from relaxed and indifferent to astonished and shocked, finding it hard to believe that Ye Chen was so powerful.
"Trying to frame me?"
Ye Chen grinned fiercely, and without uttering a single word, immediately swung his sword at Amon.
Amon's expression changed, and he suddenly formed a hand seal and shouted, "Chaos Reversal!"
Ye Chen's unstoppable sword aura suddenly turned, and he swung his sword to slash at himself.
His movements were distorted by chaos!
Ye Chen, however, revealed a ferocious smile like a wild beast, and did not stop his attack, letting his sword slash fiercely at his own body.
With a soft thud, blood spurted from Ye Chen's chest. He was severely injured, and his body trembled.
Seeing that his spell had worked, Amon breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense mind relaxed.
But unexpectedly, in the next instant, Ye Chen, who was already seriously injured and bleeding profusely, suddenly pounced on him like a ferocious beast.
Caught off guard, Amon was immediately pinned to the ground by Ye Chen. When he tried to resist, Ye Chen had already placed the sword blade against his neck.
"Don't move if you don't want to die."
Ye Chen's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Blood gushed from his chest, which was covered by a deep sword wound, and dripped onto Amon's face.
"You're quite ruthless."
Amon grinned as he saw the deep wound on Ye Chen's chest, which was so deep that the bone was visible, and even the outlines of some of the internal organs could be seen.
He hadn't expected Ye Chen to be so ruthless, willing to injure himself to lower his guard and thus suppress him.
"It's alright. After all, I'm already at the Immortal Realm, so these injuries are nothing."
Ye Chen smiled coldly, staring at Amon, and said:
"I'm really confused. Since you've told me so much about the truth, why did you try to kill me?"
He pressed the blade down slightly, cutting a bloody gash on Amon's neck.
Under the divine authority of time and space, everything around him was fixed in time and space. Ye Chen was confident that Amon could not escape unless he could kill him first, thus breaking this cage-like space-time.
Amon secretly cast a spell, trying to transform into chaotic mist to escape, but he found that every inch of his skin was filled with time-space factors, realizing that he had been completely suppressed by Ye Chen's time-space divine laws and could not escape even if he wanted to.
"you guess."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Amon smiled slightly but didn't answer Ye Chen's question directly.
Should I guess?
Ye Chen smiled, recalling when he first met Amon. Amon's face was blurry at first, but after Amon revealed many secrets, his face became clearer and clearer.
He roughly guessed what was going on and said, "You're using me as an anchor?"
"To establish yourself in this world, you need an anchor point."
“Tell me the truth. The more truth I know, the stronger my connection with you will be. You will then have a solid enough anchor to bring your power down and even control the Heavenly Demon.”
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Amon's expression changed drastically.
"I guessed right? Heh..."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. In fact, he held the power of the Heavenly Heart God and could read minds. Although he could not see through Amon's mind, he saw some secrets. Combined with his own guesses, he guessed it to be pretty close.
"So you can read minds..."
Amon vaguely sensed that Ye Chen was watching his thoughts.
"Yes, but I still don't know why you want to kill me. It seems I'll have to dig out your heart to see it."
Ye Chen gripped the sword hilt tightly with his right hand, still pressing the sword against Amon's neck, while his left hand reached for Amon's heart, as if to rip it out.
A hint of fear appeared on Amon's face, and his heart was pounding.
"So even the chosen one of Heaven experiences fear?"
Ye Chen smiled.
Amon laughed and said, "It is the fear of the Primordial Era and the Abyss that is rooted in me. Alas, there is nothing I can do about it."
“I want to kill you; it is the will of ‘Father’.”
Ye Chen: "Father?"
Ammon said, “Yes, the Great Dao is my father, and everything that is known, knowable, and governed is my father’s enemy.”
"Only by erasing all that is knowable can the world be returned to chaos. This is the truth I want you to witness. Only chaos is the truth."
"All I know is that we know nothing."
His voice carried a powerful allure, like the voice of a demon, bewitching and confusing people.
Ye Chen's heart pounded faster and faster, as if he were trapped in an endless, chaotic fog, about to be completely lost and bewildered.
He instantly realized that this was Amon's real killing move!
The demon in the previous painting was only a danger that could be seen with the naked eye, but compared to the demon, Amon's words were a far more sinister and terrifying killing move.
If Ye Chen's Dao heart were to relax even slightly, he would immediately be bewitched, fall into a state of chaos and confusion, completely lose himself, and become a walking corpse.
Then Amon can kill him.
"Trying to disrupt my Daoist resolve?"
A chill ran through Ye Chen's eyes. Fortunately, his Dao heart was protected by the Eternal Wall, the Starry Sky Dao Book, the Book of Destiny, and the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star, so he was not easily bewitched by Amon.
But if he continues to spread his fallacies, Ye Chen is afraid he won't be able to handle it.
He made a swift decision, pressing down hard with his palm, and the blade severed Amon's throat, blood spurting out.
The sharp edge contained in the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword severed Amon's lifeline in an instant, cutting off everything known and unknown, returning it to nothingness.
Amon's eyes widened, his expression freezing instantly in astonishment.
He clearly hadn't expected Ye Chen to be so decisive in killing him, and that's how he ended up killing him.
Amon's blood splattered onto Ye Chen's face, leaving a warm sensation.
Ye Chen became much more awake and looked around before realizing that Xi Yue and Su Yunli were gone.
After Amon appeared, Ye Chen's attention was completely focused on Amon. Under the terrifying chaotic aura of Amon, he had no time to pay attention to others. He had to concentrate fully to ensure that he would not lose his way.
He had no idea when Xi Yue and Su Yunli disappeared or got lost.
He didn't even know if the two women had followed him into the maze.
"This chaotic distortion is truly terrifying."
Ye Chen grinned. If it weren't for his strong Dao heart, he probably would have been dead already.
Now that Ye Chen has killed Amon, the pressure on him has been greatly reduced, but he also has a strong feeling that Amon is not completely dead and will be resurrected in the future.
In fact, Amon might become even more powerful after his resurrection!
He seemed to be deep in thought, then took out the Book of Destiny and opened it.
……
[You killed Amon, but he was the Child of the Great Dao. As long as the Great Dao exists, he will not truly die.]
Fortunately, his resurrection will take time, and for a while, you won't have to worry about him anymore.
Currently, compared to Amon, the Future Buddha and the Lord of the Gray Mist are the more pressing threats.
……
On the Book of Destiny, lines of ink appeared, and Ye Chen frowned slightly as he read them.
Seeing the signs of fate, he clearly no longer needed to worry about Amon for the time being.
But the Book of Destiny reveals that he now faces two pressing threats: the future Buddha and the Lord of the Gray Mist.
The Future Buddha knew, but what about the Lord of Gray Mist?
"Lord of Reincarnation, why are you so late? Why are you concealing your presence? Are you afraid of me?"
Just then, a grand voice came from the depths of the labyrinth; it was the voice of the Future Buddha.
Because of Amon's presence, chaos enveloped everything, and the Future Buddha could no longer see Ye Chen, only knowing that Ye Chen had hidden his aura.
"No rush, I'll be right there!"
Ye Chen stood up, took a deep breath, and divine light shone from his dantian. The undying radiance soared into the sky, instantly illuminating the world and dispelling the chaotic energy remaining in Amon.
Ye Chen's mind became much clearer, and the terrible sword wound on his chest was also healing rapidly.
His physique was already strong, and now that he has entered the Undying Realm, he is practically immortal. Even he himself would find it difficult to kill himself.
Now, by releasing the undying divine light, Ye Chen serves three purposes: first, to dispel the chaos; second, to heal himself; and third, to display his radiance and inform Xi Yue and Su Yunli that there are other members of the Samsara faction who may be nearby that he is here.
Although directly exposing the light source would attract enemies, Ye Chen didn't care. Having entered the Undying Realm, his strength was soaring, and he even wanted to fight all his enemies here!
"Ye Chen..."
Soon after the light source was exposed, people came towards it.
Ye Chen took a look and saw that it was a beautiful woman in palace attire, none other than his master's wife, the Heavenly Mother Goddess.
The Heavenly Mother staggered, panting heavily, her face pale, as if she were injured.
"Teacher's wife."
Ye Chen quickly stepped forward, supported the Heavenly Mother, held her hand, and poured a wisp of his spiritual energy into her body.
With the infusion of Ye Chen's spiritual energy, the Heavenly Mother's complexion became slightly rosy. She let out a sigh of relief and said:
"I encountered three emperors: Blood Phoenix, White Tiger, and Yellow Dragon. I fought with them and was slightly injured."
Ye Chen nodded slightly. There are many forces participating in this Divine Path Trial. If one is alone, there is a risk of being intercepted and killed by the enemy.
"Stay close to me as much as possible and don't get lost."
Ye Chen's grasp of the "correct" laws has become increasingly profound, making him shine like a lighthouse. As long as others follow him, they will not easily get lost, unless they encounter a strange being like Amon.
