Chapter 12738 You Dare to Devour Me
Feng Qingxue, who was in the distance, was also surprised to see this.
She and Tianzu had conceived the profound meaning of burying immortality, but it was just a fantasy. She never expected that this fantasy would be realized in Ye Chen's hands.
In fact, Ye Chen had not truly mastered the Burial of Immortality technique.
Only now, having borrowed from the future and temporarily possessing the power of the Heavenly Pillar Realm, coupled with the addition of the word "law," has he been able to unleash this ultimate technique, the Burial of Immortality.
This technique is enough to bury the Yin spirits of today.
The Yin God transformed into a wisp of black light and was swallowed up by Ye Chen's palm.
"Aaaaaah, Lord of Reincarnation, are you insane?! You dare to devour me?"
The Yin spirit let out a shrill roar, filled with fear and rage.
"If you dare to devour me, you will only be devoured by the abyss and forever plunged into darkness!"
I curse you to be forever plunged into darkness!
The Yin spirit uttered a heart-wrenching curse.
Ye Chen remained unmoved, and the force of his devouring did not diminish in the slightest.
He was well aware of the dangers of the Devouring Abyss; the filth of the abyss would erode his saintly heart, and a slight misstep would lead to utter ruin.
However, he didn't have many options.
The price for borrowing money to attain the Heavenly Pillar Realm in the future has already been lurking within him. Once the half-hour time limit has passed, he will inevitably suffer a severe backlash.
Only by devouring the abyss and absorbing its energy can one make up for the cost of the backlash and strengthen one's own foundation.
"Danger can also be an opportunity, and I won't let it pass me by."
Ye Chen's gaze was cold, and his aura of immortality was frantically burying the will of the Yin God. He was also refining the abyssal energy that he had devoured little by little.
In the void, Ye Chen's holy radiance intertwined with the abyssal black mist, forming a strange and magnificent halo.
His body trembled slightly, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face was sometimes pale and sometimes dark, clearly enduring great pain and torment.
The resentment from the abyss, like countless venomous snakes, frantically gnawed at his meridians and origins, while the dark will constantly assaulted his sea of consciousness, trying to assimilate him.
The Ancestor Zhantian, the Goddess of Beauty, and Ye Feier, among others, all looked at Ye Chen with solemn expressions, but dared not easily step forward to disturb him.
This was Ye Chen's own choice, and also his own tribulation.
"Ooohhhhhhh-"
The Yin spirit was still howling mournfully, feeling its body being devoured little by little by Ye Chen.
Even if it is an abyss, Ye Chen will devour it.
The vast abyssal origin of the Yin God gradually shrank and faded under Ye Chen's devouring.
The darkness in the void gradually faded, and the world that had been corrupted by the abyss began to slowly recover. Collapsed mountains and rivers reformed, and the annihilated starry sky slowly revived.
The darkness hadn't actually disappeared; it had simply shifted to Ye Chen.
As Ye Chen continued to devour the abyss, his own body gradually turned black.
"Very well, I can finally... fall into a deep sleep."
The abyss was continuously swallowed up. In the end, the Yin God suddenly stopped struggling and roaring, becoming calm and empty. It even let out a sigh and finally revealed a smile.
Ye Chen was startled, and a seed was subtly planted in his heart.
A seed of vow.
It is the eternal sleep vow of the underworld gods.
This seed, however, cannot be erased, because Ye Chen devoured the Abyss and inherited its philosophy.
That vow of eternal sleep is the wish that the abyss has steadfastly upheld from beginning to end.
Finally, when Ye Chen devoured the last wisp of the abyss's origin, the aura of the Yin God also completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
he died.
The abyss is immortal, but the Yin God is dead.
The abyss is a kind of primordial law, and it will not be easily destroyed.
However, as a consciousness born from the abyss, the Yin God was completely annihilated.
However, at this moment, a wisp of extremely faint, almost imperceptible gray mist, like a ghost, silently drifted out of Ye Chen's body and out of the world.
The gray mist drifted at an extremely fast speed, and as if summoned by something, it instantly pierced through the barrier on the other side of the starry sky and disappeared into the endless chaos, leaving no trace.
"Ok?"
"wrong!"
Ye Chen's gaze turned cold as he detected the Black Queen Mother's aura from within that wisp of gray mist!
The Yin God had previously devoured the Black Queen Mother, but now it seems that the Black Queen Mother's will has not completely dissipated. Instead, it seized the opportunity and drifted beyond the world.
Ye Chen wanted to give chase, but it seemed that someone outside the world was meeting up with the Black Queen Mother.
This caused the wisp of gray mist from the Black Queen Mother to drift away at an extremely fast speed, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
"Is it the Lord of the Gray Mist?"
Ye Chen frowned, having roughly grasped a clue to the cause and effect.
It seems that the Lord of the Gray Mist behind the scenes intervened, summoning the Black Queen Mother.
Now that Ye Chen has devoured the Abyss and the Yin God is dead, the Black Queen Mother is still alive, but has become a hidden threat.
But Ye Chen couldn't think too much about it. He had just devoured the Abyss, and now his whole body was black, with the abyssal aura raging wildly within him. He had to settle himself down first.
Ye Chen fully activated the Path of the Sage, and strands of warm yet powerful holy light surged forth, suppressing the raging abyssal darkness within his body.
Wherever the holy light passed, the dark abyss hissed and gradually faded away like melting ice and snow.
His darkened skin also returned to its fair complexion at a visible speed.
However, Ye Chen found it extremely difficult to practice the Path of the Sage. Golden holy blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth. When he practiced, his internal organs were being torn apart, and he almost fainted from the pain.
The side effects of borrowing in the future are now backfiring.
The overwhelming pressure emanating from Ye Chen, a power that seemed to emanate from the Heavenly Pillar Realm, was also rapidly fading.
The power of borrowing from the future is inherently time-limited; now that the time limit has passed, the immense power borrowed has receded like the tide.
Ye Chen's cultivation level declined steadily, from the peak of the Heavenly Pillar Realm to the sixth and fifth levels of the Heavenly Dao Realm, and finally settled at the peak of the fifth level of the Heavenly Dao Realm, which was equal to his true cultivation level before he devoured the abyss.
"Ye Chen!"
The goddess was the first to rush forward, her eyes filled with worry. She reached out to support the swaying Ye Chen, but was afraid of disturbing his cultivation.
Ancestor Tianwen, Ancestor Tingyou, and Yuanzu also stepped forward quickly, looking at Ye Chen with rather solemn expressions.
They could clearly sense that although Ye Chen's skin appeared fair, the abyss of darkness within him was even more terrifying than a black hole.
Xi Yue, Feng Qingxue, Su Yunli and other women also gathered around, their faces full of concern and worry.
They could clearly sense Ye Chen's exhaustion and pain, but they were powerless to help. They could only silently release wisps of gentle spiritual energy, carefully surrounding Ye Chen to nourish him.
Ye Feier stood to the side, her beautiful face filled with complex emotions. She looked at Ye Chen's pale face but did not step forward. She just stood there quietly, surrounded by a faint aura of pure night.
Ye Chen staggered slightly, but was caught by the goddess in time and managed to regain his balance.
A wave of intense nausea surged through him, his internal organs churning violently, as if ten million tons of rotten, foul-smelling bodily fluids were about to explode inside him. Ye Chen abruptly clutched his chest, forcibly suppressing the urge to vomit.
A metallic taste filled his throat, and another mouthful of blood spilled out, this time black. It dripped onto the ground and instantly merged into the earth, leaving a small, dark pit—a trace of the abyss's residual energy.
"I'm fine..."
Ye Chen gritted his teeth, "But the backlash from the loan is coming, and the abyss is also in turmoil. I need to go into seclusion and recuperate for a while immediately."
The backlash from borrowing the future was enough to crush Ye Chen in an instant.
However, because Ye Chen devoured the abyss, his Dao essence became incredibly powerful, so he was not crushed.
But that backlash stimulated the abyss, causing it to churn continuously within his body.
He was suffering from the dual impact of backlash and the abyss; if he did not stabilize his condition, he would surely die.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked worried.
The goddess gently held Ye Chen's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, we will guard outside, and no one will disturb your seclusion."
Just then, Ancestor Zhantian stepped forward, his gaze fixed intently on Ye Chen, and said:
"Lord of Reincarnation, you are incredibly audacious!"
"To dare to devour the abyss is like an ant trying to swallow the entire starry sky. It's already a miracle that you haven't exploded or been instantly assimilated by the abyss!"
"The abyss is terrifying. No matter how long you seclude yourself, you will probably not escape the fate of being completely devoured. At that time, you will become a new Yin God, a world-destroying calamity even more terrifying than the Yin God of the past."
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.
Everyone was solemn. They knew very well that if they couldn't suppress the Abyss, Ye Chen would only become the second Abyss Demon God.
Ye Chen remained silent. He could clearly feel the persistent darkness within his dantian, heart, and meridians, like a maggot clinging to his bones. Even after using the Dao of the Sage, he could not suppress or disintegrate it.
He knew very well that the calamity of the abyss had not actually been resolved; it had simply transformed from a catastrophe that swept across the world into a life-or-death crisis for him alone.
If he can't suppress it, not only will he himself be doomed, but the entire other side of the starry sky will also fall into darkness again.
Despite the excruciating pain within him, Ye Chen looked at the Ancestor Zhan Tian and said, "I wonder if Senior has any way to resolve this? Please enlighten me."
He knew that the Ancestor Zhantian was a powerful figure from the Chaos Era, with extensive knowledge and experience, and that he might be able to offer him some guidance.
The Ancestor Zhan Tian stared at Ye Chen, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke:
"I've glimpsed the threads of cause and effect on you, and sensed that you've been in contact with the 'Yin-Yang Remnant Contract,' haven't I?"
Ye Chen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "That's right."
"Ah."
The Ancestor Zhantian nodded, and after calculating with his fingers, said, "The Yin chapter of the Yin-Yang Divine Contract has been released and has fallen into the hands of the First Tyrant."
"That Yin chapter records the supreme secrets of the Yin Sha Dao!"
"And the origin of the abyss is essentially the ultimate power of Yin and evil."
"If you can obtain the Yin chapter of the Yin-Yang Divine Contract and devote yourself to studying the Yin Sha Dao within it, you will be able to use Yin to control Yin, refine and control the abyss origin within your body, and transform it into your own power."
"By then, the calamity of the abyss will naturally be averted. Otherwise, you can only sit and wait for your doom, watching yourself being swallowed up by the abyss little by little."
Ye Chen's eyes lit up slightly; he hadn't expected that Ancestor Zhan Tian had seen through things so clearly.
It should be noted that the First Tyrant has already altered cause and effect, making Ye Chen a scapegoat.
In the eyes of many outside the world, Ye Chen is the thief who stole the "Yin Yang Remnant Contract".
However, the Ancestor Zhantian saw through the truth at a glance, knowing that the culprit was the First Tyrant, and that the "Yin Yang Remnant Contract" was also in the hands of the First Tyrant.
"That Yin chapter will probably not be easy to seize."
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly.
Who was the first tyrant?
That was a powerful figure who wielded the path to tyranny and whose strength was unfathomable; even the Goddess Yang was wary of him.
He is only at the fifth level of the Heavenly Dao Realm, so how could he possibly seize the Yin Chapter from the First Tyrant?
This is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
The Ancestor Zhan Tian said, "I have said all I can. I have told you everything I could. I am very grateful that you have awakened me."
He gazed into the distance: "However, the root of the inner demon within me has not been eradicated; it is only temporarily suppressed. Staying on the other side of the starry sky is ultimately not a long-term solution."
"I want to return to the outside world to find a way to completely resolve my inner demons."
Ye Chen was somewhat reluctant to part and asked, "Senior, are you leaving?"
Ancestor Zhan Tian grunted and said, "It's time to leave, Lord of Reincarnation. If you encounter members of the 'Wild Hunt' outside the world in the future, you can mention my name, Zhan Tian. They will give you face and will not easily become your enemy."
The Wild Hunt is one of the twelve pathways of the Ancients.
And the Ancestor Zhantian is one of the three progenitors of the Wild Hunt path!
Having said that, Ancestor Zhantian did not linger any longer. He turned around, transformed into a streak of light, and flew towards the world barrier on the other side of the starry sky. His speed was extremely fast, and he disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Everyone watched the departing figure of the Ancestor Zhantian, their expressions quite complex.
After the Ancestor Zhantian left, the excruciating pain in Ye Chen's body intensified once again, and the abyssal aura began to surge wildly again in the moment when his mind was relaxed.
His face grew paler and paler, and his body swayed precariously, on the verge of collapse.
Ye Chen, mustering his last bit of strength, looked at the group of beauties:
"Everyone, I'm entrusting the final tasks of the Other Side of the Stars project to you... I must go into seclusion immediately!"
The goddess quickly replied, "Don't worry, I'll handle it."
"Wait a minute, Ye Chen, I...I'll go with you." A clear and melodious voice rang out.
Ye Feier quickly stepped forward, her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen revived her, and she was extremely grateful to him.
She is the daughter of the abyss, the embodiment of the night, and even now she is still surrounded by the pure aura of the night.
This aura subtly resonated with the abyssal aura within Ye Chen's body, yet it was completely free of impurity, instead carrying a touch of warmth.
Ye Chen's heart stirred. If Ye Feier were by his side, she might be able to help him suppress the abyssal turmoil within him, making his seclusion go more smoothly.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
Ye Chen did not refuse. He immediately raised his hand and used spatial magic to create an extremely secluded space.
This space is isolated from the world and has been heavily fortified with restrictions, which can not only isolate it from all external interference, but also prevent the abyssal aura within it from leaking out and affecting the other side of the starry sky.
At that moment, Ye Chen and Ye Feier stepped into this secluded space one after the other.
