Chapter 12823 Save Me!
"You monster, you underestimated your opponent!"
A cold glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, and taking advantage of Thousand Hands Pill Demon's injury, he immediately swung his sword again.
His cultivation level is indeed inferior to that of the Thousand-Handed Pill Demon, and he has not yet stepped into the Taiyi Realm. However, he wields a divine weapon, the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Dao Sword, which can make up for the gap in their cultivation levels.
Seeing Ye Chen swing his sword at him, the Thousand-Handed Pill Demon's face showed fear and apprehension, and he hurriedly withdrew and flew away.
But Ye Chen, having gained the upper hand, pressed on relentlessly, his sword flashing coldly as he pursued relentlessly.
"Fallen Demon Eagle, block them for me!"
Seeing the situation was dire, the Thousand-Handed Pill Demon roared and summoned the Fallen Demon Eagle to his front to block Ye Chen's sword.
The Fallen Eagle cried out, seemingly unwilling, but it appeared to be under the control of the Thousand-Handed Demon, unable to resist despite its own powerlessness.
With a soft thud, Ye Chen's sword light slashed down, unleashing a torrent of true Dao intent that killed the Fallen Demon Eagle with a single strike, spraying blood everywhere.
Ye Chen's sword aura weakened, and he gasped for breath.
He unleashed his full power in this sword strike, expending a tremendous amount of energy.
"Kid, die!"
Taking advantage of Ye Chen's weakness, the Thousand-Handed Pill Demon roared and spat out a mouthful of pitch-black inner core.
The inner core floated in mid-air, emitting a terrifying aura of poison, and the surrounding poisonous mist frantically gathered on the inner core.
The inner core instantly swelled, transforming into a huge sphere that slammed fiercely towards Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's heart sank. He could feel that the power of this poisonous sphere far exceeded all of the Thousand-Handed Pill Demon's previous attacks.
If he were hit, even with the protection of the Divine Light of the Stars, he would definitely be completely corroded by the poison.
"Xindan, Danxi, help me!"
Ye Chen roared, disregarding his weakness, and the Yang Chapter, Si Chen Dao Lineage, and Reincarnation Power within his body erupted simultaneously, converging on the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Dao Sword. On the sword's body, white-gold and gray-black light intertwined, radiating a world-destroying power.
Upon hearing this, Xin Dan activated the Dawn Law with all her might, and a golden beam of light entered Ye Chen's body, enhancing his power.
Danxi then activated the power of the earth's veins, and countless earth-yellow and gray-black energies burst forth, all pouring into Ye Chen's body.
In an instant, Ye Chen's aura surged, recovering from his weakened state. The Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Sword in his hand also burst forth with unprecedented dazzling brilliance.
"Heavenly Emperor's Intercepting Path Slash!"
Ye Chen shouted and swung his sword. A blazing sword light, containing overwhelming Dao-intercepting sword intent, slashed fiercely towards the poisonous sphere.
boom--
The sword light collided with the poison sphere, creating a deafening roar. The entire Infernal Pill Prison trembled violently, countless pill furnaces collapsed, large areas of the ground sank, and the void was forcibly torn apart with countless huge gaps.
The poisonous sphere was instantly shattered by Ye Chen, and a large amount of black liquid flowed out.
"what--"
The Thousand-Handed Demon let out a shrill scream, his body convulsed violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He did not underestimate Ye Chen and had just summoned his inner core, intending to kill Ye Chen in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chentian Emperor's Intercepting Dao Sword was fierce and powerful. Combined with the power of Xin Dan and Dan Xi, he managed to kill him.
With its inner core shattered, the Thousand-Handed Pill Demon suffered a severe backlash, its life force severed.
His body continued to collapse, eventually transforming into a pitch-black demonic core that hovered in mid-air, radiating a terrifying aura.
Upon seeing it, Ye Chen immediately realized that the demonic pill was actually the true form of the Thousand-Handed Pill Demon!
His true form is a demonic elixir!
After the battle, the Infernal Prison was in complete disarray, with collapsed alchemy furnaces and cracked ground everywhere.
Ye Chen, Xin Dan, and Dan Xi were panting heavily, half-collapsed on the ground, all exhausted.
There were still many demons in the Infernal Prison, all surging towards them. Fortunately, the Ancient Phoenix of the Entropy Heaven maintained its fighting strength and stood guard, preventing the demons from getting close.
Looking at the pitch-black demonic core, Danxi said to the Ancient Phoenix of Entropy, "This demonic core contains the life essence of the Thousand-Handed Pill Demon, and is extremely terrifying. If it remains in the world, it will surely bring great disaster. Destroy it quickly!"
The Thousand-Handed Pill Demon has already entered the Taiyi Realm, making it virtually indestructible. Even though it was just killed by Ye Chen, it will recover its vitality in time.
Only by completely destroying this demonic core can he be killed.
The Ancient Phoenix of Entropy flapped its wings, intending to destroy the core.
"Wait!"
Ye Chen raised his hand to stop, staring at the demonic pill. This demonic pill shared the same aura as the demonic pill that the Ancient Ancestor Qiong Cang had given him.
If one devours a demonic pill, one can unleash astonishing combat power in a short period of time.
Although there is a risk of being corrupted by demonic energy, the value of this demonic pill is extraordinary and can turn the tide of battle if necessary.
"No, we can't destroy it."
"This demonic pill is a double-edged sword. Although it is terrifying, it may be able to break the deadlock at a critical moment. Let's keep it for now."
With that, Ye Chen waved his hand and absorbed the demon pill into his body.
Then, he looked at the corpse of the Fallen Demon Eagle on the ground and thought that the blood of the Fallen Demon Eagle seemed to have relieved the poison in his body.
At that moment, Ye Chen activated the Samsara Technique, and a Samsara Disc appeared, devouring the corpse of the Fallen Demon Eagle.
This fallen demon eagle, having fallen into the endless demonic obstacles of the Avici Hell, was itself tainted with potent poison, yet it was born from the toxic silt with a powerful life force.
Ye Chen refined it and was nourished by the Fallen Demon Eagle's boundless life force, which completely neutralized the poison in his body.
Ye Chen felt a wave of relief wash over him, and his weakened state recovered considerably.
After a while of rest and recuperation, Xindan and Danxi also recovered.
Danxi stared blankly at the devastated Wujian Danyu for a moment, then looked at Ye Chen and said, "I never imagined that Ye Chen's cultivation was so powerful that he could actually kill the Thousand-Handed Dan Demon."
Ye Chen said, "It was just luck. If it weren't for your and Xin Dan's help, I wouldn't have been able to do it."
Xin Dan asked, "Are we going to the third floor now?"
Ye Chen looked at Dan Xi, a complicated look flashing in her eyes, and said, "My father is in the third level of the Returning Void Pill Eye, we must go there."
He then stood up, ready to leave.
Xin Dan gently covered her chest and looked at Ye Chen, saying:
"Ye Chen, hold my hand and don't let go."
Looking into her clear eyes, Ye Chen's heart fluttered slightly, and he asked, "What?"
Xin Dan's eyes, once corrupted by the Split Wolf, were later purified by Ye Chen and are now incomparably pure and bright. She looked at Ye Chen with a smile in her eyes and said:
"I am very weak now, and only by relying on the Yang Chapter can I continue to help you."
She had been thrown into the alchemy furnace by the Chaos Pill Emperor to be refined, and was already weak after escaping. She had also assisted Ye Chen in battle many times, and now her aura was even weaker.
Only by nourishing herself with the energy of the Yang chapter can she maintain her fighting ability.
Ye Chen's heart stirred, knowing that Xin Dan was born from the Yang Chapter. With the help of the Yang Chapter, Xin Dan could naturally unleash powerful strength.
If Ye Chen takes out the Yang Chapter and gives it to Xin Dan, it will greatly enhance Xin Dan's combat power.
However, the Abyss within Ye Chen's body needs the Yang Chapter to balance it. Once the Yang Chapter leaves his body, the Abyss will become unbalanced, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Xin Dan knew this too, so she only asked Ye Chen to hold her hand and did not directly ask for the Yang chapter.
Feeling Xin Dan's care, Ye Chen felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He immediately took her hand and silently released strands of Yang energy, which flowed into her body through his palm.
With the help of the Yang chapter, Xin Dan instantly became radiant, shaking off her weakness, and her eyes became brighter.
Then, she smiled playfully and said, "That's not enough. We need to get closer so I can receive the benefits of the Yang Chapter."
She held hands with Ye Chen, leaned close to him, and kissed his cheek.
When Shangtian Guhuang and Danxi saw this, they were both astonished and surprised. They felt that Xindan seemed innocent and naive on the surface, but she was also very unrestrained and bold.
Ye Chen coughed lightly, feeling rather embarrassed.
"Stop fooling around, let's go."
At that moment, Ye Chen, holding Xin Dan's hand, leaped onto the back of the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix.
With a flap of its wings, the Ancient Phoenix of Entropy carried Ye Chenxin and Danxi towards the third level of the Danxu Death Realm.
Danxi's expression was quite complicated. Her father was on the third floor, and strangely enough, she could vaguely see the figure of her deceased mother.
The deeper one goes into the third level, the more eerie and intense the aura becomes. The surrounding space is distorted, and the air is filled with a dense aura of alchemical fire, as if it wants to burn everything to ashes.
Before long, the group arrived at the third level of the Danxu Death Realm, which was also the end of the Death Realm—the Guixu Dan Eye.
There was no matter here, only vast expanses of chaotic alchemical fire filling the surroundings.
The alchemical fire was a chaotic color, sometimes surging and sometimes contracting, radiating terrifying heat and disordered energy. The space had long been scorched and destroyed by the alchemical fire, and there were vortexes and turbulent currents everywhere.
The fire was chaotic, and Ye Chen couldn't see his surroundings clearly for a moment. He held Xin Dan's hand with his left hand and gripped the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Sword tightly with his right hand, squinting his eyes and concentrating on observing.
Above the elixir fire, a woman was seen floating.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, bearing a resemblance to Danxi. She wore a long white dress, her eyes held a gentle quality, and she was surrounded by a faint aura of chaos, giving her an ethereal yet eerie air.
"A moth!" Upon seeing the woman's figure, the Ancient Phoenix of Entropy exclaimed in surprise, "The moth is right here!"
But at that moment, Danxi suddenly trembled, pointed at the woman in the pill fire, and said in a trembling voice with disbelief, "Mother...that's my mother!"
Ye Chen was greatly surprised and turned to look at Dan Xi: "What did you say? She's your mother?"
"She is my mother!" Danxi's voice was urgent, but after a pause, she added with a hint of unease, "However, her aura seems a little different..."
Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix looked on in astonishment, carefully examined the woman in the pill fire, then looked at Danxi, and pondered for a while: "I understand! It must be a moth! Moths wield the law of transformation and can transform into anyone. She must have transformed into your mother's appearance to seduce the Chaos Pill Emperor!"
Danxi trembled all over, her eyes fixed on the woman in the pill fire, filled with doubt and pain.
Ye Chen focused intently, observing and peering into the secrets of heaven. He had roughly gleaned some clues and said:
“That’s true, Danxi. Your mother is a member of the Xi Clan. She is essentially a ray of light and has no human emotions. Her affair with the Chaos Pill Emperor was just the instinct of the Xi light to pursue Sichen, and there was no real love between them.”
"However, the Chaos Pill Emperor possessed his own emotions; he seemed unable to accept a heartless companion, until the moth appeared..."
"The moth has transformed into your mother. Compared to your real mother, she possesses human emotions, at least on the surface."
"Thus, the Chaos Pill Emperor fell completely in love with the moth and regarded it as his beloved."
"But what he actually liked was your mother... no, it should be said that he liked only the perfect partner he fantasized about in his heart. In fact, such a partner does not exist in the world. It's just that the moth can transform into many forms and happened to play the role of the woman in his heart."
Danxi was stunned when she heard what Ye Chen said.
Ye Chen's explanation was somewhat complicated, but the cause and effect were actually quite simple.
It was when the Chaos Pill Emperor was still the Scarlet Emperor that he met Danxi's mother.
Danxi's mother was a member of the Xi Clan, born from light, and was essentially pure light, without human desires or emotions.
Her affair with the Chaos Pill Emperor was solely because he was the God of Dawn, in charge of the laws of dawn. She was drawn to the light and fell in love with him; it was all instinct, devoid of any human emotion.
However, the Chaos Pill Emperor developed human emotions in this relationship; he longed for true love and for a response.
But Danxi's mother remained completely unmoved, ignoring his efforts.
Until the appearance of the moth, which transformed into the appearance of Danxi's mother and possessed all human emotions—gentleness, thoughtfulness—it fulfilled all of Chaos Dan Emperor's desires for love.
Thus, the moth became the Chaos Pill Emperor's beloved and his only concern.
The woman in the elixir fire was indeed a moth; she had simply transformed into the appearance of Danxi's mother, accompanying the Chaos Pill Emperor.
"Danxi, save me..."
Just then, the moth cast a gentle glance at Danxi and let out a groan.
Danxi's delicate body trembled. Her mother had no human emotions. Although she loved and cared for her in every way, it was just instinct, not true love.
The gentle gaze that the moth was now casting was one she had never seen in her mother before.
"Mother!"
Danxi shouted and was about to fly up to save the person.
"Don't be impulsive!"
Ye Chen hurriedly grabbed Dan Xi and pointed to a chaotic vortex behind the moth: "Look there."
Danxi opened her eyes and saw a figure vaguely hidden in the chaotic vortex. The figure had disheveled hair, bulging eyes, and looked like a wild beast. It was none other than the Chaos Pill Emperor!
Concealed by that chaotic, dark vortex, it is impossible to detect without close inspection.
At this moment, a wisp of spiritual energy was released from the Chaos Pill Emperor, which entangled the moth, and the moth showed a pained expression.
Judging from this situation, the Chaos Pill Emperor clearly intends to refine the moth!
"Oh no, he's trying to refine the moth!"
Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix also noticed something. Once the Chaos Pill Emperor refined the moth, he would have an anchor point and would no longer be afraid of Ye Chen's radiance bleaching, and would be able to restore his full strength.
The Chaos Pill Emperor was almost bleached by Ye Chen's radiance, and his body, which was originally almost ethereal and transparent, has now returned to its solid and substantial state.
Clearly, refining the moth also brought him great benefits.
Ye Chen saw that, deeper within the Guixu Danyan, the second-generation Yin God Ji Xuanqiong was tightly bound by countless black chains, her aura weak and her eyes bloodshot.
Ye Chen knew that once the Chaos Pill Emperor successfully refined and fused with the moth, he would be able to completely stabilize himself, no longer be bleached by the power of light, and at the same time restore his full strength.
At that time, the Chaos Pill Emperor will be able to completely control Ji Xuanqiong and the Dark Sun, and the entire Tianhuang Origin Sea will be plunged into an abyss of no return.
"I'm sorry, moth."
At this moment, Ye Chen heard the Chaos Pill Emperor let out a painful cry, full of struggle.
Ye Chen saw the look in the Chaos Pill Emperor's eyes, a look of deep longing mixed with helplessness.
