Chapter 12826 Different Paths
The progenitor of chaos did not like these things; in fact, he loathed and feared them immensely, like an old man who was afraid of all new things.
But chaotic fluctuations will inevitably give rise to patterns and laws.
The aura emanating from the Primordial Chaos continued to surge, eventually giving birth to some knowable and visible things, including the Primordial Chaos Treasure, which is this "Moth Dao Embryo".
The Daoist meaning contained in the moth's Dao embryo is that of a moth drawn to a flame, representing the desire of living beings to yearn for light, even at the cost of their lives.
Ye Chen guessed that the moth fell in love with the Chaos Pill Emperor because of its instinct to be attracted to light.
The Chaos Pill Emperor is the Crimson Lord, the God of War, and is essentially a reflection of the Primordial Light.
Ye Chen, who holds the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star, the Yang Chapter, the Path of the Sage, and the lineage of the Dawn Emperor, shines even brighter than the Chaos Pill Emperor.
At this moment, Ye Chen held the moth phallus and felt that the silkworm pupa also had a strong desire for him.
That is a child's longing for their parents, filled with deep attachment.
"Has this thing recognized me as its master?"
Ye Chen's heart stirred. He probed with his divine sense and discovered that this moth-shaped Dao embryo seemed to be an excellent container that could hold chaotic energy.
Previously, when Ye Chen fought with the Chaos Pill Emperor, he used the Devouring Technique to devour a lot of chaotic energy in order to resolve the disordered pill fire.
This chaotic energy is undoubtedly a time bomb.
Without hesitation, Ye Chen circulated his internal power, guiding out the Chaotic Pill Fire and Chaotic Qi he had previously devoured, and injecting them into the silkworm cocoon in his hand.
As the chaotic energy was injected, the snow-white silkworm pupa gradually became plump, and a faint halo of chaotic light emanated from its body.
These chaotic halos quickly wove together into a black cocoon, encasing the silkworm pupa within.
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine and pondered, "It seems that this silkworm pupa can absorb chaotic energy to weave a cocoon. When it emerges from the cocoon, it will be a newly born moth."
"But moths come in all shapes and sizes, and it is unknown what form the new moths will take."
Ye Chen peered into the cocoon and saw a tiny, snow-white silkworm curled up inside, motionless. It was clearly a moth that had been killed and had shrunk back to its most primitive form.
Without a doubt, this silkworm is still alive. As long as it absorbs enough chaotic energy, it will hatch again sooner or later and transform into a moth once more.
However, since moths wield the law of metamorphosis and can transform into countless forms, Ye Chen had no idea what form it would take or what kind of nature it would possess after this hatching and rebirth.
A strange sense of danger quietly grew in his heart. He vaguely felt that the future of this silkworm might become a variable that would affect the balance of power in the heavens, and its fate was unpredictable.
But it's absolutely impossible for Ye Chen to discard it.
By controlling the moth's embryonic form, he can at least maintain the initiative.
Ye Chen transferred all the chaotic energy in his body into the silkworm cocoon, which became increasingly dark and larger.
Ye Chen's body returned to its pure state, and he felt a sense of ease. The black and white markings on his skin also completely faded away.
"Alright, let's heal." Ye Chen put away the silkworm cocoons and turned to look at Xin Dan. "You've exhausted too much energy; we can't delay any longer."
Xin Dan nodded, and the two walked side by side to a relatively flat open space and sat down facing each other.
Ye Chen slowly closed his eyes, and the Yang Scripture within his body quietly began to circulate.
Strands of dazzling golden divine light burst forth from his body, like a warm, blazing sun, enveloping him and Xindan together.
The golden divine light of the Yang chapter, gentle yet intense, slowly enveloped the two bodies, and their wounds healed at a visible speed under the nourishment of the divine light.
The two sat quietly in the divine light, gradually closing their eyes and completely relaxing their minds. Their aura also slowly recovered as the divine light flowed around them.
As the divine light of the Yang chapter continued to merge, the two figures gradually became illusory, as if bleached by the divine light, transforming into two intertwined balls of light, entwined with each other, indistinguishable from one another.
This fusion is not about the physical body, but a deep blending of spirit and power, pure and serene, without any distracting thoughts, a state of complete absorption in the external world, more beautiful and harmonious than any physical union.
After an unknown amount of time, the golden divine light gradually subsided, and the two orbs of light slowly condensed, returning to the appearance of Ye Chen and Xin Dan.
The two slowly opened their eyes, their gazes filled with a hint of bewilderment, as if they had just woken from a wonderful dream. A faint blush lingered on their faces, and their auras had returned to normal, even stronger than before.
Ye Chen's cultivation level broke through to the peak of the eighth level of the Heavenly Dao Realm as naturally as water flowing into a channel!
Xin Dan blinked gently, looked at her hands, then at Ye Chen beside her, and murmured softly, "The Path of Light is indeed infinitely mysterious. That feeling just now was so intoxicating that it was hard to extricate oneself from it."
Ye Chen nodded, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes, and slowly said:
"Yes, the light engulfs everything, and everything that is engulfed does not feel any pain, but only a wonderful feeling of ascension and transformation."
"This seemingly gentle annihilation is far more terrifying than direct destruction."
Just now, Ye Chen relied on the Yang Chapter to heal his injuries, and his body briefly turned into light. That transformation was controllable, and now he and Xin Dan have both recovered.
But if the Primordial Ones were to revive, bleaching everything and turning everything into light, that would be uncontrollable and would be true destruction.
"Don't treat your wounds like this next time, I'm scared..."
Xin Dan revealed a look of lingering fear. She herself was formed from the essence of the Yang chapter and the lingering light of the sun. The healing she had just received gave her the feeling that she was about to return to the Yang chapter and perish completely.
"I know."
Ye Chen nodded, knowing that the Yang Chapter was infinitely profound, but if one relied on it too much, one's Dao heart would be eroded by the light.
Ye Chen met Dan Xi and Shang Tian Gu Huang, and during this time, he gradually regained his strength.
He then said, "Let's go, we can't delay any longer, we must find Ji Xuanqiong!"
Without further delay, Ye Chen followed the resonance between the abyss within his body and Ji Xuanqiong, and with Xindan and Danxi in tow, flew towards the outside of the Guixu Danyan.
Upon exiting the Guixu Danyan, they found the entire Great Danxu engulfed by abyssal calamity, a scene of utter darkness and desolation.
The disciples of the former Great Dan Ruins fled in droves.
Seeing the rampant abyssal chaos, Ye Chen's heart sank, fearing that the Heavenly Emperor Origin Sea might also suffer misfortune.
Once outside the Great Dan Ruins, the scene before Ye Chen was even more horrifying.
The once pristine Tianhuang Yuanhai is now unrecognizable.
Vast expanses of seawater, pitch black as ink, exuded a pungent aura of abyss disaster. Countless carcasses of sea beasts floated on the surface, some already rotting, others still twitching slightly—a truly gruesome sight.
In the distance, the light of the dark sun grew dimmer, showing signs of collapse, and the abyssal aura between heaven and earth grew stronger, making it hard to breathe.
"This is bad! Dark Sun is about to collapse! The pollution of the Heavenly Emperor Origin Sea is more serious than we imagined!" Entropy Heavenly Phoenix's expression changed drastically. "We don't have much time left. If we can't find Ji Xuanqiong to stabilize the situation soon, Tai Chu will definitely awaken ahead of schedule!"
Ye Chen looked around and saw that the surface water of the Tianhuang Origin Sea had been polluted. When the deep sea was also polluted, that would be the time when Tai Chu would be awakened.
Time was of the essence. Ye Chen closed his eyes and fully activated the power of the abyss within his body, carefully probing along the resonance.
A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharpening: "Found him! He flew towards the direction of Dark Sun!"
Ye Chen immediately activated the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix and flew all the way.
The colossal figure of the Entropy Heavenly Phoenix swept across the sky above the Heavenly Emperor Origin Sea, stirring up waves of black.
Before long, Ye Chen found Ji Xuanqiong's figure in the dark sky above the sea.
At this moment, Ji Xuanqiong was completely different from before.
The abyssal aura surrounding him was several times more violent than before, but the divine light of the Divine Star burst forth from within his body, intertwining and entwining with the abyssal aura to form a strange black light shield.
"Father...it's my father's aura!"
Danxi exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Ji Xuanqiong.
She actually sensed the aura of the Chaos Pill Emperor from Ji Xuanqiong.
Ye Chen said, "It seems that the Chaos Pill Emperor's Divine Seed has already been integrated into his body."
"I'm afraid the Chaos Pill Emperor isn't truly dead; he still has a backup plan. He's using the Seed of the Stars to indirectly control Ji Xuanqiong!"
Ye Chen's gaze towards Ji Xuanqiong was complex, containing both clarity and confusion, indicating a mixture of at least three forces.
First, Ji Xuanqiong's own rationality; second, the will of the Chaos Pill Emperor; and third, the darkness of the abyss itself.
"Who am I? Who am I?"
Ji Xuanqiong murmured to himself, his mind clearing at times: "I am Ji Xuanqiong."
But then he was thrown into chaos again, “No… I am the Chaos Pill Emperor.”
He paused, then looked at his hands: "No! I am the Yin God of the Abyss, the one who bears the darkness of this world."
"My body is the most noble and supreme among all the heavens! I will ultimately transcend darkness and fulfill my vow to make all beings eternally sleepless!"
Upon seeing Ye Chen's arrival, his eyes cleared completely, his gaze turning cold and stern as he looked at Ye Chen and said:
"Damn it, Lord of Reincarnation, it was you, it was you who killed me."
"Do you remember me? I am the god of the abyss! I am not dead, I have returned!"
As he finished speaking, Ji Xuanqiong's voice suddenly rose, and the will of the abyss spread out, echoing throughout the myriad realms—
I'm back!
I'm back!
I'm back!
Ye Chen, Dan Xi, and Shang Tian Gu Huang were stunned, their heads buzzing.
Looking at Ji Xuanqiong, they seemed to see a vast abyss emerging from nothingness, and a dark sun rising slowly.
At this moment, Ji Xuanqiong's own consciousness and the will of the Chaos Pill Emperor were suppressed by a vast dark energy.
That dark energy is none other than the abyss!
The will of the abyss has taken over.
Ji Xuanqiong's eyes turned completely black, his long hair flowed freely, and his whole body was filled with demonic energy, which then gathered into an imperial robe embroidered with images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and all living beings paying homage.
Ye Chen felt suffocated, realizing that Ji Xuanqiong was the Yin God of the past. Those who knelt to welcome the Yin God could enjoy eternal bliss in their eternal sleep, while those who disobeyed would only be suppressed and turned into withered bones.
"Well……"
The abyss within Ye Chen's body began to violently churn, with all the abyssal energy frantically trying to break free and return to Ji Xuanqiong.
Once the abyss leaves his body, Ye Chen will undoubtedly die!
He gritted his teeth, mobilizing the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star and the Yang Chapter to suppress the Abyss and resist the call of Ji Xuanqiong's will.
"Do you still want to be my enemy?"
Ji Xuanqiong looked at Ye Chen with cold eyes: "Without the Primordial Beginning, I am the only supreme being in this world. Who dares to be presumptuous in front of me?"
His tone was cold, and his voice was not loud, but it had an inherent majesty. Every word he spoke shook the heavens and the earth, and all the realms heard his voice.
At this moment, the whole world was astonished.
The voice of Ji Xuanqiong was heard by countless forces and cultivators, including Tianhuang Yuanhai, Jiuyao Fenxinghai, Shenmu, Xukong Yishi, Fentian Gushengjiao, and Da Ri Liuli Jingtu.
Everyone was shocked; no one had expected that the Yin God of the Abyss would return so quickly.
"No, you are not a Yin God, you are Ji Xuanqiong!"
Ye Chen gritted his teeth and spat out a sound, trying to wake Ji Xuanqiong.
Ji Xuanqiong, no, he should be called a Yin God now, said coldly, "Ji Xuanqiong? This is just a vessel, barely able to contain my aura."
"Lord of Reincarnation, there is no need to resist any longer. The Primordial One is about to awaken. Only by joining forces can we kill him."
"When the beginning of creation awakens, there will be a moment of confusion, and that moment will be our opportunity."
“Once we slay the Primordial One and the blinding light is gone, we can establish a world of eternal slumber. You have already embarked on the path of eternal sleep, and you should know the sweetness of dreams.”
In the end, the Yin God gazed at Ye Chen with a look that was not threatening, but rather gentle and alluring.
Clearly, he also knew that his resurrection and the rampage of the Dark Abyss might awaken the Primordial Beginning.
Tai Chu, who had just woken up, would be momentarily dazed and confused, which was the opportunity for him and Ye Chen to make their move.
It's also the only chance!
Once the Primordial One is slain, there will be no more troubles in the world, and a world of eternal dreams can be established.
Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine. He knew the wonder of the Dream Realm of Mansu, but it was an illusion after all. If Mansu were to descend upon the world directly, it could very well cause the foundation of the world to collapse.
After a pause, Ye Chen shook his head and said, "You're thinking too simply. Even if you kill Tai Chu, there's still Chaos. The Chaos Ancestor behind the scenes is an even more deadly existence."
Upon hearing "the progenitor of chaos," the Yin spirit remained calm and said:
"Chaos is invincible, but there is no need to panic. You hold the power of the four-word law, and I hold the power of the word 'law'. With these two words, we can ensure that the foundation of Mansu will remain unchanged for ten thousand generations, and even the Chaos Ancestor will not dare to invade it."
As he spoke, the Yin God clenched his fist, and a jet-black, gleaming "出" (chu, meaning "out") character rose from his palm.
There exists an ultimate truth in the world, which is the Four-Word Law. Those four words are the key to defeating the Primordial Chaos.
The Primordial Chaos Ancestor was also extremely fearful and wary of this law, so he had long ago used methods to conceal its secrets, making it difficult for anyone to detect.
Now, of those four-character laws, Ye Chen deciphered the character "law," while the Chaos Pill Emperor glimpsed the character "out" and fused it into Ji Xuanqiong's body.
Previously, Ji Xuanqiong could only passively inherit, but now that the will of the abyss has been revived and the Yin God has been reborn, the Yin God directly controls this "out".
The four-character principle has deciphered two characters. The Yin God's idea is based on these two characters to resist the Primordial Chaos.
He did not seek to destroy Chaos, but only wished to live a peaceful and secluded life.
Ye Chen disagreed and shook his head again, saying:
"If the chaos is not broken, how can one talk about the difficulty of establishing a foundation?"
The Yin God said, "You seem unaware of the terrifying power of the Primordial Chaos Ancestor. You are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, yet you dare to attempt to destroy the Chaos?"
"To be able to stand on equal footing is already the best outcome. The present world will eventually be submerged by chaos, only Mansu can exist forever in dreams."
