"Moreover, that first tyrant seems to be setting up some kind of formation. We wanted to capture him, but his strength was too great, and we were no match for him."
"The Ancient Realm of Shining Stars..."
Ye Xingcai felt a chill run down her spine; the Yaoxing Ancient Realm was precisely where her mother had been searching for treasure.
Her tone instantly turned serious, "Oh no! Mother is still inside searching for the Golden Crow Dao Cauldron. If she runs into the First Tyrant, she might be in danger!"
Ye Chen frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "There is no time to lose. We must get there as soon as possible to suppress the First Tyrant."
He turned to Luo Haifu and said, "Steward Luo, let's work together. Once we've suppressed the First Tyrant, you can retrieve the Yin-Yang Remnant Contract, and the Eternal Night Burning Fire will be ours."
Luo Haifu was taken aback. Why did he feel like he was being used?
Something was amiss. His mind was extremely sharp; he frowned and stared at Ye Chen, saying:
"Wait a minute, where did you get that Divine Moon Essence from? And how did you manage to record the transaction between Manager Jin and the First Tyrant?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "I can't go into details about this matter. In short, the Yin-Yang Remnant Contract is in the hands of the First Tyrant, and now is the only chance to take it back."
"If you miss this opportunity, it will be wishful thinking for you to see the First Tyrant again in the future."
Upon hearing this, Luo Haifu's face darkened.
Ye Chen was unwilling to reveal the truth, and since he was currently on Sunshine District territory, he couldn't force him to.
Compared to the truth behind it, how to deal with the first tyrant is obviously more important.
As Ye Chen said, the Yin-Yang Remnant Contract is already in the hands of the First Tyrant. If it cannot be taken back today, there will be no chance to do so again.
"With our strength, even if we join forces, we probably wouldn't be a match for the First Tyrant."
Luo Haifu was extremely cautious. He currently only had two incarnations of the Myriad Causes Corpse Buddha, which were enough to deal with ordinary dangers, but to deal with the First Tyrant was a pipe dream.
Such a situation requires the presence of the Buddha of Ten Thousand Causes.
Ye Chen looked toward Ye Xingcai.
Ye Xingcai pondered for a moment, then turned to the Holy Light General and said, "Quickly convey my order to summon Elders Yao Chen, Ming Xi, and Jing Xuan to accompany me to the Yao Xing Ancient Realm to besiege the First Tyrant!"
"Your subordinate obeys!" The general accepted the order and left quickly.
Ye Chen waited where he was.
His initial plan was to use the power of the Temple of Holy Light to besiege the First Tyrant.
As for Luo Haifu's arrival, it was beyond Ye Chen's expectations.
However, this is also a good thing, as it provides additional assistance.
So far, Ye Chen's identity has not been exposed.
Luo Haifu had a thousand thoughts running through his mind. He thought that with the help of the Holy Light Oath Hall, it was not impossible to surround and kill the First Tyrant.
He had to make a decision; this might be his only chance in his life.
Before long, three beams of holy light descended from the sky, and Elders Yaochen, Mingxi, and Jingxuan arrived side by side.
The three were dressed in pure white robes inlaid with gold, surrounded by divine light. Their aura was magnificent, their light as vast as the sun descending upon the world, their sacred majesty overwhelming heaven and earth.
Ye Chen sensed a special aura emanating from these three elders—an aura of physical body and soul completely fused into one, indestructible and eternally immortal.
It is "Taiyi"!
Between the Heavenly Dao Realm and the Heavenly Pillar Realm, there are four Law Realms: Initial Heart, Spiritual Vision, Taiyi, and Tree of Life!
These three elders were clearly all powerful cultivators who had reached the Taiyi realm.
Even if Ye Chen used 80% of his strength, it would probably not be enough to shake the physical body of a Taiyi expert. He would have to unleash 120% of his power to have any chance of harming an expert of this level.
Even the three elders of the Taiyi Realm, upon learning that they were to besiege the First Tyrant, wore extremely solemn expressions.
Clearly, even those at the Taiyi Realm were extremely wary of that First Tyrant.
It's easy to imagine how powerful and terrifying the first tyrant was.
"Greetings, three elders."
Ye Xingcai first bowed to the three elders, and then said, "The three elders need not panic. Although the First Tyrant is powerful, he is, after all, on the territory of our Sun Holy Land. We have the advantage of favorable timing and terrestrial veins, which is enough to suppress the First Tyrant!"
The three elders, Yao Chen, Ming Xi, and Jing Xuan, nodded solemnly and said in unison, "That's exactly right."
Ye Xingcai nodded, and without further delay, waved her hand and said, "Then, let's go!"
The group transformed into streaks of light and sped off, heading at full speed towards the Ancient Realm of Yaoxing.
The three elders flew at the forefront, followed by Ye Chen and Ye Xingcai, then Luo Haifu and the two Myriad-Kind Corpse Puppets, and a dozen or so Holy Light Guardians flanking the two sides.
Ye Chen borrowed a set of Holy Light Guardian armor and disguised himself as Ye Xingcai's personal bodyguard. He had already embarked on the path to the Tower of Radiance last night, and at this moment, his whole body was surrounded by wisps of holy light, completely concealing his identity.
Even the First Tyrant and the Golden Feather Emperor could not recognize him at a glance.
Ye Chen felt quite tense, firstly because he feared he was no match for the First Tyrant, and secondly because he feared his identity as the Lord of Reincarnation would be exposed, incurring the wrath and annihilation of the Holy Light Oath Hall.
His attempt to seize the Eternal Night Fire is undoubtedly a risky gamble.
However, he absolutely could not miss this only opportunity that might allow him to quickly advance to the Heavenly Dao Realm.
Fortune favors the bold!
……
About half an hour later, the group arrived at the outer edge of the Yaoxing Ancient Realm. As soon as they stepped into the ancient realm, they felt an overwhelming and domineering tyrant's pressure sweeping across the area.
Ye Xingcai stopped first, her expression hardening: "This aura... it's the First Tyrant! He really is here!"
Following the sound, everyone looked and saw the First Tyrant dressed in a black dragon robe, surrounded by vast purple energy, forming a hand seal on a desolate plain ahead, with dark array patterns appearing beneath his feet.
The array patterns had converged into a formation, and powerful summoning forces were released from it.
"Where is Emperor Jinyu?"
Ye Xingcai only saw the First Tyrant, but not the Golden Feather Emperor, which made her somewhat worried.
The general of the Holy Light Guard reported: "I only saw the First Tyrant, but I did not see the Golden Feather Emperor."
Just then, black and red flames rose into the sky from the depths of the Yaoxing Ancient Realm.
The Ancient Realm of Yaoxing is protected by numerous restrictions, which form a mist that obscures the view from the outside.
But the black and red flames shot straight into the sky, breaking through the restrictions of the Yaoxing Ancient Realm, burning the pure white, perpetually bright sky of the Sun District into a strange dark red, and even showing signs of being burned through!
"This is... the aura of the eternal night's flames!"
Ye Chen could tell at a glance, "It seems that Emperor Jin Yu has already entered the Yaoxing Ancient Realm, and even dares to attempt to refine the Eternal Night Burning Flame!"
The Golden Feather Emperor was severely injured by Ye Chen. Even though he has recovered somewhat, his strength is still very weak and he cannot reverse the situation.
His only hope for turning the tide is to refine the Eternal Night Flame!
At this moment, the flames of the Eternal Night Burning Flame soared into the sky, and a series of shrill screams echoed from the ancient realm of Yaoxing.
It was the scream of the Golden Feather Emperor.
Clearly, even if Emperor Jinyu were to wield the Dao of Freedom, refining the Eternal Night Flame would be extremely difficult.
His most likely fate is to be burned to ashes by the eternal night's flames and completely annihilated.
Meanwhile, the First Tyrant was activating the summoning array, chanting incantations:
"The Emperor summons the flames, the burning fire returns to the heart, the blazing light condenses the magic, proving my divine power..."
As he summoned, an astonishing scene unfolded: within the ancient realm of Yaoxing, the soaring black and red flames were slowly being summoned back, about to fall into the First Tyrant's formation.
Upon seeing this, Elder Yaochen, one of the three elders, narrowed his eyes and said:
"It seems that this first tyrant did not easily step into the Ancient Realm of Radiant Star, but instead wanted to use a summoning array to forcibly summon the Eternal Night Burning Fire back!"
Upon hearing Elder Yaochen's words, Ye Chen and the others immediately understood.
The Ancient Realm of Shining Stars is a forbidden and secret place in the Sun District, yet the First Tyrant is unwilling to take the risk lightly.
In his panic, Emperor Jinyu rushed into the Ancient Realm of Yaoxing, while the First Tyrant set up an array on the outer perimeter, intending to forcibly summon the Eternal Night Flame back.
After all, the eternal night fire was his life fire, and he could summon it by spell, so this path was perfectly feasible.
Even Ye Chen felt that a portion of the Eternal Night Flame he had previously absorbed was being summoned, wanting to fly out and return to the First Tyrant's hands.
Ye Chen released his own will and forcibly suppressed it, thus preventing the Eternal Night Burning Flame from escaping.
Elder Yaochen said, "If the First Tyrant is successfully summoned and his life flame is retrieved, his strength will be restored to its peak, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Stop him immediately!"
At this moment, a meteor-like light shot out from the depths of the Yaoxing Ancient Realm, breaking through the restrictions at the entrance of the ancient realm, and flying towards the First Tyrant in the center of the formation.
It's a spark!
The core flame of the Eternal Night Fire has been summoned!
The fire was small in size, but it contained a world-destroying power. Wherever it passed, the air was scorched and distorted. Even the holy light that was everywhere in the Sun District was suppressed by this scorching power and became twisted and violent.
Hundreds of white, black, and red auroras formed in the field, dancing wildly between heaven and earth, creating a spectacular sight.
The First Tyrant's eyes gleamed as he watched the flying spark, revealing a greedy and lustful look.
At this moment, Yao Chen, Ming Xi, and Jing Xuan, the three Taiyi Realm elders, moved and transformed into three dazzling holy lights, rushing towards the First Tyrant from three different directions.
Elder Yaochen formed hand seals, and holy light condensed into a huge holy light sword, which he slashed toward the head of the First Tyrant.
Elder Mingxi raised his hand and waved it, and countless holy light arrows appeared out of thin air, shooting densely towards the vital points of the First Tyrant.
Elder Jingxuan's body surged with holy light, transforming into a raging lion that roared and thundered as it charged toward the First Tyrant.
Ye Xingcai was not to be outdone. Her Yang God bloodline erupted completely, and a faint golden light emanated from her body, echoing the holy light of the Sun District, causing her power to surge instantly.
She raised her hand and waved it, and a jade sword formed from the power of the Yang God appeared in her hand.
In the next instant, she flashed and transformed into a white light, stabbing towards the side of the First Tyrant.
"Let's do it!"
Luo Haifu also gave a low shout and ordered the two Myriad-Business Corpse Puppets beside him: "Stop the fire!"
He knew the importance of the Eternal Night Burning Fire Seed. If the First Tyrant obtained it, his strength would return to its peak, and no one present would be able to stop him.
Upon hearing this, the two corpse puppets moved, emanating a dense aura of death and the fragrance of Buddha's fat. Their black cloaks billowed in the airflow, revealing bodies covered in corpse patterns.
They raised their hands and waved, and two jet-black palm winds appeared out of thin air, carrying a decaying aura, and slapped towards the flying spark.
Ye Chen concealed himself within the holy light, the aura of the Tower of Radiance erupting from his body, completely concealing his aura as the Lord of Reincarnation.
He drew the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, and the blade burst forth with dazzling holy light. On the surface, it was just an ordinary holy light sword, and no one could tell that it was the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword.
"The spark is mine!"
Ye Chen's eyes were sharp as an eagle's as he stared intently at the incoming spark of fire, but he did not make a move immediately, instead waiting for the right opportunity.
At this moment, Elders Yao Chen, Ming Xi, and Jing Xuan, along with Ye Xingcai, all attacked the First Tyrant, forming a formidable force of four against one.
The first tyrant was about to recall the flame when he was interrupted, which enraged him.
"A bunch of clowns, daring to block my path?"
The First Tyrant roared, and with a sudden wave of his left hand, the imperial purple aura around him instantly condensed into a layer of iron-like protective energy, with dragon patterns appearing on the energy, exuding a stern and imposing aura.
Boom—
Elder Yaochen's holy light giant sword, Elder Mingxi's countless arrows, Elder Jingxuan's mad lion dharma form, and Ye Xingcai's longsword all struck the First Tyrant's protective aura, instantly unleashing a terrifying collision shockwave.
However, it was unable to shatter the protective aura.
The three elders and Ye Xingcai all showed expressions of fear.
They knew the first tyrant was powerful, but they didn't expect him to be this powerful.
"Return!"
After blocking the attack of the four, the First Tyrant roared and grabbed at the fire seed in the void, trying to summon it back.
At this moment, the palm strikes of the two Myriad Corpse Puppets were aimed at the fire seed, but the fire seed suddenly erupted with a scorching power, and the black and red flames instantly surged, burning the palm strikes of the two corpse puppets to ashes.
The flame did not stop at all, and continued to fly towards the First Tyrant.
Seeing this, the two corpse puppets attacked again, their death aura surging wildly and condensing into two huge corpse claws, reaching for the fire seed in an attempt to forcibly seize it.
However, it was scorched by the flames of the fire and forced to retreat repeatedly. The corpse patterns on its claws were gradually burned away, emitting a pungent burnt smell.
"Heh heh, who can stop my will?"
The first tyrant sneered, his eyes filled with cruelty.
He thought that once his life-giving fire returned and his strength was restored to its peak, he would vow to annihilate all his enemies.
Just then, Ye Chen made a move.
He unleashed his Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, its unparalleled holy light sword energy slashing down, attempting to sever the space between the First Tyrant and the Fire Seed, preventing the Fire Seed from falling into the First Tyrant's hands.
"Ok?"
The First Tyrant noticed Ye Chen's actions and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He didn't recognize Ye Chen immediately, but he felt that this person was radiant and had a sharp sword aura, possessing strength far beyond his apparent cultivation level.
"You ignorant little brat!"
Without much thought, the First Tyrant raised his hand and waved, sending a purple aura transforming into a flying sword that hurtled towards Ye Chen.
The difference in strength between Ye Chen and the First Tyrant was too great; he could not possibly withstand this sword strike.
"Supreme Law, eternally shrouded in the sea of dreams!"
Ye Chen remained calm under pressure, having already prepared himself, and immediately unleashed "Eternal Night Dream Sea," transforming his body into a dreamlike form.
His body seemed to vanish into a dreamlike bubble in an instant. The First Tyrant's Purple Qi Flying Sword slashed through, but it was as if it had slashed through a dreamlike bubble, without harming Ye Chen in the slightest.
"what?"
The first tyrant was immediately shocked.
Luo Haifu, the Three Elders of Shengguang, Ye Xingcai, and others were also shocked.
Ye Chen was secretly sweating. This Eternal Night Dream Sea was a supreme law and Ye Chen's trump card.
In just one encounter, he was forced to reveal his trump card by the First Tyrant, which shows the huge difference in strength between the two sides.
Moreover, Ye Chen was not using this trump card for the purpose of fighting; he only wanted to save his life.
Ye Chen was secretly relieved to have survived unharmed.
