Chapter 12704 Clone, Broken!
"Your cultivation has broken through; that's truly incredible."
Looking at the indestructible divine light emanating from Ye Chen, the Heavenly Mother couldn't help but show admiration and respect, as well as a hint of satisfaction.
Ye Chen's current brilliance and aura have already surpassed her, who is at the Heavenly Dao Realm.
Although he was only at the third level of the Undying Realm, Ye Chen had already faintly touched the ceiling of the other side of the starry sky.
"good……"
Ye Chen wasn't too arrogant, after all, the enemies he was facing were all top-tier beings.
He told the Heavenly Mother to rest where she was, and then silently waited for Xi Yue and Su Yunli to arrive.
As Ye Chen released his divine sense, he could clearly feel that Xi Yue and Su Yunli were both rushing towards him. However, there were many forks in the maze, and even if the two women knew where Ye Chen was, it would be difficult for them to get there in a short time.
Ye Chen also sensed the presence of the Blood Phoenix Emperor, the Black Queen Mother, and others. They had also come to the maze and discovered Ye Chen, but they dared not approach him easily.
Both the Blood Phoenix Emperor and the Black Queen Mother were intelligent people. They knew that if they went first, they would inevitably suffer a loss against Ye Chen's overwhelming momentum.
They all had their own plans: to let others go first to deplete Ye Chen's energy, then they could reap the benefits later, or patiently wait for their turn.
The Future Buddha, meanwhile, waited for Ye Chen's arrival at the primordial sphere in the center of the maze, never venturing into unfamiliar territory lightly.
Ye Chen waited for a while, and then he heard two footsteps. He looked and saw two people walking out from the corner of the maze ahead. But they were not Xi Yue and Su Yunli. Instead, they were the Lord of Gray Mist and Jin!
The Lord of the Gray Mist, clad in a gray robe and surrounded by wisps of gray mist, exuded an extremely eerie aura.
The man beside him, Jin, also had a fierce look on his face.
Ye Chen and the Heavenly Mother immediately became alert upon seeing the two appear.
Ye Chen held his longsword horizontally in front of him.
The Lord of Gray Mist turned his gaze and saw Amon's corpse on the ground. The corpse was slowly disintegrating like quicksand, clearly indicating that Ye Chen had destroyed its life essence.
With such a swift and deadly strike, even if Amon is the chosen one of the Great Dao, he cannot be resurrected in a short time.
"What formidable power! Lord of Reincarnation, you actually managed to kill even the Son of the Great Dao."
The Lord of the Gray Mist sighed; he seemed to know Amon's identity and the truth behind it.
"I never imagined you would have glimpsed the ultimate truth. Knowing too much isn't a good thing."
The Lord of Gray Mist stared at Ye Chen, his tone gradually turning cold.
Ye Chen was very surprised to find that although the Lord of Gray Mist was standing right in front of him, he was unable to lock onto the other party's aura, or even see his face clearly. Everything was blocked by a strange mist.
Even though the Lord of Gray Mist was standing right in front of him, he felt as if the Lord was omnipresent and all-pervasive.
Ye Chen circulated his spiritual energy to protect himself.
The Heavenly Mother was injured and didn't have much fighting power, but she was still a powerful being in the Heavenly Dao Realm and had the ability to protect herself. She silently channeled her energy to protect herself and was extremely wary of the Lord of Gray Mist.
"I do not wish to fight you, Lord of Reincarnation, but the ultimate truth is a taboo and must never be revealed."
"Once the secrets of heaven are revealed, people will know that the original Great Dao is actually the root of all chaos and calamities, and that the world and all the laws and principles we know are just a few isolated islands floating in the boundless sea of chaos."
"Compared to these isolated islands, the vast and profound chaos is something more real and immense... If these truths were exposed, countless people would have their Dao hearts shattered and fall into madness."
The Lord of the Gray Mist revealed a compassionate expression, revealing that he had long known the truth of the world and the laws and principles governing everything, but he was merely a vague existence.
Beneath the knowable world lies a far deeper and more terrifying abyss of unknowable chaos!
"So what do you want?" Ye Chen asked.
"It's good to be confused sometimes, Lord of Reincarnation. I told you, knowing too much is not good for you."
"Fortunately, you are the only one who knows the truth now. As long as I seal your memories, everything can be pretended that nothing happened."
The Lord of Gray Mist raised his hand, releasing wisps of gray mist, like venomous snakes, that hissed and coiled towards Ye Chen.
He wants to seal Ye Chen's memories and the truth!
Ye Chen's eyes turned cold, and he immediately swung his sword to annihilate all the gray mist.
The Lord of the Gray Mist had anticipated this, and with a sigh, said, "You are unwilling?"
Ye Chen said, "You have no right to touch my memories."
The Lord of Gray Mist was taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "As expected, you are proud and arrogant, so naturally you are unwilling to accept my seal."
"But I protect all worlds, and my heart and actions are as clear as a mirror. One day in the future, you will understand my good intentions."
Xiang Jin shouted, "Attack!"
Jin chuckled, immediately formed hand seals, and shouted, "Heavenly Decree, Ten Thousand Flames Scorch the Sky!"
A strange, scorching power was released from Jin's body, instantly causing the temperature in the void to rise sharply.
Ye Chen's expression changed slightly. He instantly felt that the fragments of the Burning Heaven within his body had also been activated. A surging Burning Heaven Tribulation Fire erupted from his body, like thousands of volcanoes erupting at the same time. A terrifying heat wave quickly swept over his entire body.
"Mysterious Yin condenses Qi, Nine Netherworlds summon mist, Mysterious Mist issues decrees!"
The Lord of Gray Mist also made his move. He formed a hand seal, bit his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. The blood mist dissolved into large swaths of gray mist, quickly enveloping the surroundings and covering Ye Chen and the Heavenly Mother.
Under the burning pain in Ye Chen's dantian, he didn't have time to dispel the mist. In an instant, he was surrounded by heavy gray mist, unable to see anything, and even his senses seemed to be blocked.
This time, the Lord of Gray Mist used the power of Ash to ignite Ye Chen's Heavenly Tribulation Fire and then cast a spell to trap him.
Jin was once the spirit of the Burning Heaven Fragment. Although Ye Chen refined the Burning Heaven Fragment, there is still a faint connection between Jin and the Burning Heaven Fragment.
At close range, using this connection, he could directly detonate Ye Chen's Heaven-Burning Tribulation Fire.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Chen would not give him a chance to succeed, but now that the Lord of Gray Mist is right beside him, and the laws of Gray Mist are omnipresent and all-pervasive, Ye Chen cannot stop him.
"Can you sense my will? Lord of Reincarnation."
From within the mist came the voice of the Lord of Gray Mist.
Ye Chen could clearly sense his will and determination. The so-called gray fog represented the laws of obscurity, obstruction, isolation, deception, and ignorance.
The ultimate truth of the world is too terrifying. If the secrets of heaven were exposed, it would inevitably trigger a catastrophe and panic.
The Lord of the Gray Mist was born from the gray mist of ignorance and obscurity. His mission was to obscure the secrets of heaven, cover up the truth, and prevent all living beings from falling into chaos.
He fulfilled his mission with unwavering resolve, protecting the world in this unique way.
Ye Chen was extremely surprised. He never expected that the Lord of Gray Mist, one of the Ten Evil Gods, would have such a determination to protect the world.
"I can tell. You're a coward, afraid to face the truth."
Ye Chen shook his head and gave a cold smile.
"A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, Lord of Reincarnation. It seems you still do not know the ultimate power. Well, it's better to be a little confused, at least you don't have to feel that fear that penetrates to the bone."
"However, your memories still need to be sealed away."
"Don't worry, I will only seal the memories related to the ultimate, and I will not harm you."
As the Lord of Gray Mist's voice faded, wisps of mist surged forth from the surrounding area like venomous snakes, wild horses, and a tidal wave.
Ye Chen swung his sword, but felt that the wisps of mist were extremely viscous, surging like a tidal wave. He cut through a patch of mist, and even more mist rushed in.
The Lord of the Gray Mist has already established his dominance, and reversing his momentum will not be easy.
"You should just accept the seal obediently; it's better for both of us."
The boundless mist continued to surge in, and Ye Chen swung his sword wildly, but gradually became numb.
The calamity flames surging from the fragments of the Burning Heaven were scorching his body. Although he possessed the power of the Undying Realm, he was beginning to feel the strain of prolonged burning.
Moreover, the gray fog was eerie. As he kept inhaling it, it seemed to gnaw at his body like maggots, frantically drilling into every pore. He gradually began to feel dizzy and disoriented.
"Ye Chen..."
The Heavenly Mother held Ye Chen's hand. She didn't know what had happened, nor did she know about Amon's matter or the ultimate truth.
However, she also vaguely sensed that Ye Chen had seen a shocking truth, a truth that had even attracted the Lord of the Gray Mist.
The Lord of the Gray Mist made a ruthless move to suppress the truth.
All the Heavenly Mother could do was stand with Ye Chen.
Under the shroud of gray fog, everything seemed illusory and unreal, but Ye Chen and the Heavenly Mother, their hands clasped together, felt each other's flesh and body temperature, which was an undeniably real existence.
But this sense of authenticity isn't deep enough.
To counter the power of the Lord of Gray Mist, the two need to delve deeper and get closer together.
"Ye Chen, come closer."
The Heavenly Mother trembled slightly, probably thinking of a way to break the deadlock. She took Ye Chen's hand and tried to pull him closer.
"No need, Madam. There's no need for that!"
Ye Chen shook off the Heavenly Mother's hand as if he had been electrocuted, maintaining a restrained distance.
He looked at the thick gray fog around him, his eyes flashing, and said, "Don't worry, I can break through this gray fog."
The Lord of Gray Mist outside heard Ye Chen's words, chuckled, and asked, "How do you plan to break this?"
Jin also unleashed his power, frantically triggering Ye Chen's Heaven-Burning Tribulation.
The flames of tribulation burned fiercely on Ye Chen's body. Ye Chen clenched his fists, feeling the intense burning pain, but he bravely endured it.
"I'll show you the real sun!"
Ye Chen grinned, and his spiritual energy surged violently. A burst of intense divine light erupted, and a huge star rose slowly from behind him.
That star was also shrouded in a thick layer of gray mist, but as it rose, the mist gradually dissipated, revealing the star's true form.
It was a sun shrouded in dark, bloody energy, beneath which lay an incomparably brilliant and dazzling core.
This is the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star, the most blazing and brilliant of the seven stars of reincarnation!
The former Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star was incredibly hot and dazzling, which Ye Chen could not withstand. Therefore, he did not refine it, but instead sealed it with fragments of gray mist.
Now that his cultivation has reached the third level of the Undying Realm, he is fully capable of controlling the power of the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star, so he no longer hesitated and directly broke the seal!
Even after the seal was broken, the light of the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star did not fully manifest.
Because this natal star was once buried deep in the burial mounds of the gods, it was tainted with the resentment and hatred of many pillar gods. Its surface was covered with wisps of dark blood energy, and its magic was chaotic and unclean.
But at this moment, under Ye Chen's mental command, the power of his Reincarnation Law directly annihilated all those chaotic laws. His own indestructible divine light, as well as the authority of the Sun Saint God and the Black Sun Calamity Ancestor, were resonating with the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star.
The entire Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star, having washed away all its impurities, shone even more brilliantly. It slowly rose from Ye Chen's back to the top of his head, having already completed its transformation. All the messy, dirty blood and filth were burned away, and the entire Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star, like a true sun, presented a blazing and dazzling white-gold color.
Rumbling--
The boiling Heavenly Emperor's Yang Flame surged and erupted wildly, its terrifying heat and coronal radiation sweeping across the surroundings, while large swaths of gray mist silently vanished.
The Heavenly Mother was stunned when she saw this scene.
With the sun above his head, Ye Chen's body became incredibly powerful and domineering, like a supreme god. Even if the Heavenly Ancestor of the past came, he probably wouldn't have such a grand aura as Ye Chen.
His Heavenly Emperor Destiny Star aura has surpassed that of the Heavenly Ancestor at his peak, incorporating the authority of the Sun Saint God and the Black Sun Calamity Ancestor, making him incomparably powerful.
The Sun God is one of the seventy-two pillar gods. After falling into evil, he became the Black Sun Calamity Ancestor. The two are the same person, and both of their powers have something in common with the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star. Ye Chen integrated them and instantly made them shine throughout the ages, surpassing his predecessors.
The Black Sun Cult's authority gave Ye Chen a dark foundation, ensuring that he would not lose himself in the boundless, dazzling light.
In the blink of an eye, all the gray mist dissipated, and the gray mist that had just troubled Ye Chen and Tianmu vanished completely.
"How is that possible!"
The Lord of Gray Mist was instantly stunned. Under the blazing light of Ye Chen's imperial star, he couldn't even open his eyes and could only cover them with his hands. His body was also hissing as he was being intensely burned.
"You are merely an avatar, Lord of the Gray Mist. You are not qualified to act arrogantly in front of me."
Ye Chen's gaze was cold. With a palm strike imbued with the terrifying power of the Sun God, it surged forth, seemingly capable of crushing heaven and earth, and descended upon the Lord of Gray Mist.
The Lord of Gray Mist was terrified and hurriedly flew away to avoid it.
Jin was stunned and unable to dodge in time. He was extinguished by Ye Chen's palm and turned into a wisp of green smoke.
Although the Lord of Gray Mist managed to evade, his entire body was constantly evaporating.
He was the embodiment of the gray mist, and faced with Ye Chen, the sun, he was utterly powerless to resist and was completely suppressed.
"Alas, Lord of Reincarnation, you are still stubbornly clinging to your delusions."
"You'd better not come outside this world, otherwise, I will seal you away again!"
After the initial shock, the Lord of the Gray Mist quickly calmed down and sighed.
He knew that with this clone of himself, it was absolutely impossible for him to contend with Ye Chen.
He closed his eyes, obediently accepting his fate, letting Ye Chen's brilliant sunlight pierce through him, annihilate him, and evaporate him.
He quickly evaporated into nothingness, but what he lost was only an insignificant clone; his true body remained outside the world, still one of the ten most renowned evil gods.
