Chapter 12791 I Guarantee It
Xia Ruoxue's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Where? Where is that beast hiding?"
"Deep within the Fiend Sword Island, in a canyon enveloped by dense sword aura and heavenly aura."
Ye Chen spoke slowly, his tone tinged with weariness, yet unable to conceal his excitement.
"Its injuries are more severe than we expected. Its breathing is disordered, and it can no longer move. It can only hide there and recuperate."
……
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Ye Chen woke Ren Feifan and told him the information he had deduced.
Upon hearing this, Ren Feifan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, but he then frowned and said, "It's good that we found it, but Sha Jian Island is the territory of the Absolute Sha Sword Master. If we make a move there, it will inevitably alarm the forces on the island. Once we make a move, the secrets of heaven will be exposed, and then our identities will no longer be able to be hidden."
Ye Chen nodded, his expression solemn: "I have also considered this point, but if we miss this opportunity, it will be extremely difficult to kill that beast once it recovers from its injuries."
Ren Feifan pondered for a moment, a resolute glint in his eyes: "We can't worry about exposing the secrets of heaven! The Reverse Star Beast must be killed. As long as we finish this quickly and leave Shajian Island immediately after killing it, even if our identities are exposed, we can still try to escape unscathed. Although the Absolute Sha Sword Master is strong, he may not be able to stop the three of us."
Xia Ruoxue chimed in, "I will do my best to conceal our presence and delay the time it takes for the secret to be exposed. Once we kill the Reverse Star Beast, we will immediately retreat."
Having reached an agreement, the three of them did not delay any longer. Taking advantage of the morning mist, they quietly left the inn and headed towards the depths of Shajian Island.
Along the way, they avoided the cultivators and patrolling guards on the island, and with the help of Xia Ruoxue's moonlight, they successfully arrived outside the canyon that Ye Chen had deduced.
The entrance to the canyon was shrouded in dense sword and heavenly aura, with fog obscuring the view inside. A strong smell of blood filled the air, the very scent of the Reverse Star Sea Beast.
The three cautiously stepped into the canyon, their eyes scanning the surroundings. Deep within the canyon, a massive black shadow lay prostrate on the ground.
It is indeed the Reverse Star Beast!
Its entire body was covered in jet-black scales, which were badly damaged, and black blood flowed continuously from the wounds.
Its three scarlet eyes were half-open, its breathing was erratic, and its chest was heaving violently. It was clearly still adjusting its breathing and healing its injuries and had not noticed the arrival of the three people.
Ye Chen and his two companions exchanged a glance and approached the Reverse Star Sea Beast step by step.
"Let's do it!"
Ren Feifan gave a low shout and took the initiative to attack.
Even though the Reverse Star Beast was severely injured, he did not hold back. With a single move, a terrifying burst of destructive sword energy erupted, transforming into a storm of sword energy that blotted out the sky and crashed down on the Reverse Star Beast.
Ye Chen drew the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Dao Sword, its light flashing, and slashed towards the head of the Reverse Star Beast.
Xia Ruoxue did not make a move. Instead, she used the Moon Path technique in the back, circulating moonlight to conceal Ye Chen and Ren Feifan's auras as much as possible, delaying the time when the secret was revealed.
The Reverse Star Beast, which was healing its wounds, was also startled. It opened its eyes wide and was enraged when it saw Ye Chen and Ren Feifan coming.
"Why, why..."
It emitted a muffled human voice from its throat, seemingly in great pain and resentment, not understanding why outsiders would come to hunt it.
Enraged, the Reverse Star Sea Beast disregarded its severe injuries, roared, and swung its massive claws at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's eyes turned cold. He activated the Law of Time, and time around him slowed down instantly. He calmly dodged the claw's attack.
At this moment, Ren Feifan's destructive sword energy storm had already crashed down, slamming heavily onto the body of the Reverse Star Beast, producing a deafening roar.
The Reverse Star Beast's body trembled violently, its wounds widened again, black blood gushed out, and it let out a mournful roar.
"It's time!"
Ye Chen made a hand seal and cast the Samsara Technique. A black Samsara Disc appeared on the ground beneath the Reverse Star Beast, radiating a terrifying devouring power.
He then prepared to devour the Reverse Star Beast.
The Reverse Star Beast, knowing it was about to be devoured, revealed immense fear and resentment in its eyes.
It suddenly raised its head and let out a heart-wrenching roar, its voice filled with despair and pleading, echoing throughout the entire Demon Sword Island: "Ancestor, help me—!"
As soon as the roar subsided, the sky suddenly darkened, and an eerie and terrifying aura emanated from the void.
Ye Chen and the other two subconsciously looked up and saw an amazing scene slowly appearing in the sky.
A huge black egg was seen floating in mid-air.
The giant egg was covered with countless black veins, like human blood vessels, densely packed and constantly writhing.
These vein-like meridians even extend continuously into the void of heaven and earth, as if trying to touch every corner of the world, which is extremely terrifying.
Beneath the giant egg was a piece of dark, bloody placenta.
Thick, black blood dripped from the placenta, emitting a nauseating stench of blood and a sense of devouring.
Countless obscure and incomprehensible devouring runes were imprinted on the surface of the giant egg, shimmering with an eerie black light, frantically absorbing the surrounding dark aura and malevolent energy.
With each unit absorbed, the giant egg's aura grew stronger.
"That's... a reverse-hatched egg!"
Ren Feifan's pupils shrank sharply, and his face showed deep shock.
The giant egg that appeared in the sky was not a real entity, but merely a projection.
Even though it was a projected image, the eerie and dark atmosphere was still chilling.
Ye Chen and Xia Ruoxue were equally shocked, staring intently at the reverse hatching egg in the sky, their hearts filled with turbulent waves.
They never expected that, on its deathbed, the Reverse Star Beast would summon the Reverse Hatching Egg.
A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Reverse Star Beast.
Its body gradually transformed into wisps of dense dark evil energy, which flowed along the black meridians in the void towards the reverse hatching egg in the sky, and was eventually completely devoured by the reverse hatching egg.
After the Reverse Hatching Egg devoured the evil energy of the Reverse Star Beast, the devouring runes on its surface shone even brighter, the black meridians writhed more violently, and its aura became even more terrifying.
But after a moment, it slowly dissipated into the void, leaving only a faint trace of malevolent energy to prove that it had once appeared.
The canyon was silent. Ye Chen and his two companions stood frozen in place, their faces filled with shock and astonishment.
Ye Chen looked at the spot where the Reverse Star Sea Beast had disappeared, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
They were just one step away from getting the Reverse Star Beast, which would allow them to use its Heavenly Fiend to suppress the Human Fiend within them.
However, the Reverse Star Beast preferred to be devoured by the Reverse Hatching Egg rather than fall into its own hands.
The disappointment and resentment of almost succeeding but then failing in an instant surged into my heart like a tide, along with a deep sense of helplessness.
Ren Feifan frowned, a deep regret on his face: "I never expected this beast to be so fierce, preferring to be devoured by the reverse-hatched egg rather than by you."
Xia Ruoxue's delicate body trembled slightly as she said, "The secret of heaven has probably been exposed. We must leave immediately!"
Ye Chen took a deep breath, suppressed the complex emotions in his heart, and nodded.
He knew that now was not the time to wallow in despair. The appearance of the Reverse Hatchery Egg must have already alarmed the forces of the Fiend Sword Island, and they had to leave as soon as possible.
But just then, a series of whooshing sounds came from outside the canyon.
Several figures were seen rushing towards the depths of the canyon.
Leading the group was none other than the Absolute Fiend Sword Master, the master of Fiend Sword Island!
Behind him followed Dao Ancestor Wuchen and two Divine Tomb cultivators, all of whom had very gloomy expressions, clearly having been alarmed by the strange phenomenon of the reverse-hatched egg.
The strange phenomenon caused by the appearance of the reverse-hatched egg was so bizarre that it not only alarmed the Absolute Fiend Sword Master, but also alerted the three Dao Ancestors of Dust, who rushed over immediately.
When they saw Ye Chen and his two companions in the canyon, they were all stunned.
Immediately, the gazes of the Absolute Fiend Sword Master and the Dustless Dao Ancestor fell on Ye Chen and Ren Feifan, their pupils shrinking and their faces showing deep shock.
The Sword Master of Absolute Fiends smiled sinisterly, stroked his beard, and chuckled:
"Hahaha, so it is the Lord of Reincarnation and the Lord of Destruction who have graced us with their presence. No wonder they were unwilling to reveal their identities and sneaked into my Fiend Sword Island. I am truly sorry for their rudeness!"
The face of the Dao Ancestor Wuchen was so gloomy it could drip water. He stared intently at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with resentment and killing intent, and questioned him sharply:
"Lord of Reincarnation, what are you doing here?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something, his eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed, "Ah—! You have the aura of the Endless Dao Ancestor on you, you...you devoured the Endless Dao Ancestor?!"
Wuchen Daozu and Wuzhong Daozu share the same origin, and Wuzhong Daozu is extremely sensitive to Wuzhong Daozu's aura. He immediately saw the Wuzhong Daozu's original essence remaining in Ye Chen's body.
He trembled with rage, pointing at Ye Chen and cursing, "Lord of Reincarnation! You lowly wretch! Who is the Dao Ancestor of No End? Do you think you can devour him?"
The two Divine Tomb cultivators standing to the side had their eyes fixed on Ren Feifan, their eyes revealing a strong sense of vigilance and greed.
The Tomb of Gods has always wanted to capture Ren Feifan and seize the power of the God of Destruction and the Great Heavenly Emperor's Path from him, but they have never had the opportunity.
Now, having unexpectedly encountered Ren Feifan here, both of them felt a stirring in their hearts.
Unfortunately, they also knew that with their combined strength, they were simply not capable of taking down Ren Feifan. They could only keep a close eye on him, not daring to make a move easily, and waiting for an opportunity.
The Sword Master of Absolute Fiend glanced at the direction in which the Reverse Hatched Egg in the sky had dissipated, then looked at Ye Chen and said in an icy tone:
"Lord of Reincarnation, it seems you infiltrated my Fiend Sword Island not for training, but to plot against the Reverse Star Beast, right?"
He paused, his tone tinged with anger and greed: "The Reverse Star Beast is a rare and ferocious beast of my Sha Yao District, under my jurisdiction. Today you forced the Reverse Star Sea Beast to its death and disturbed the Reverse Hatching Egg. How will this debt be settled?"
Ye Chen's face darkened, and he said, "That beast was a Heavenly Fiend Beast, formed from the convergence of the fiendish energy of heaven and earth. It does not belong to any single force. My killing of it has nothing to do with your Fiend Sword Island, let alone compensation."
"presumptuous!"
The Absolute Fiend Sword Master roared, his greed no longer concealed. His gaze fell on the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Dao Sword in Ye Chen's hand, his tone carrying a hint of coercion and enticement:
"Hmph, sharp tongue! Today you forced the Reverse Star Beast to its death and disturbed the Reverse Hatching Egg, so compensation is a must! I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you hand over this Intercepting Dao Sword, this matter will be settled, and I can even let the three of you leave Fiend Sword Island safely. How about it?"
Upon hearing what the Absolute Fiend Sword Master said, Ye Chen exchanged a glance with Ren Feifan, and suddenly understood.
So what this guy really wanted was the sword in Ye Chen's hand!
Although Ye Chen and his two companions are strong, they are on Sha Jian Island. The Absolute Sha Sword Master has the advantage of timing and location, and they also have the help of Dao Ancestor Wuchen. If a real fight breaks out, Ye Chen's side will be at a great disadvantage.
Ye Chen sneered and said, "So you coveted the sword in my hand. Unfortunately, this sword is absolutely not for you."
The Heavenly Emperor's Intercepting Sword is his natal weapon, and he will never hand it over under any circumstances.
"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!" The Sword Master of Absolute Fiend's face darkened completely, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. "Since you refuse to hand it over, then don't blame me for being impolite! Dao Ancestor Wuchen, let's join forces to suppress these three and seize the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Dao Sword. You will avenge Dao Ancestor Wuzhong, and I will seize the divine artifact. We each get what we want, how about it?"
A hint of killing intent flashed in Wuchen Daozu's eyes, and he immediately nodded in agreement: "Alright! Let's join forces to suppress them!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the Absolute Fiend Sword Master and the Dustless Dao Ancestor attacked simultaneously.
The Sword Master of Absolute Fiend wielded a jet-black longsword, his sword aura surging. With the help of the earth's veins on Fiend Sword Island, his sword strikes became even more ferocious, and countless black sword shadows hurtled towards Ye Chen and his companions.
Wherever the sword flashed, deep trenches were torn into the ground.
Wuchen Daozu then activated the chaotic evil power within his body, his body surrounded by a dense aura of malevolence, transforming into a gigantic black demonic claw that carried the power to corrode the soul, and reached out to grab Ye Chen.
Upon seeing this, the two Divine Tomb cultivators immediately took action, activating the Divine Tomb Karmic Fire, which transformed into two black streaks of flame that hurtled towards Ren Feifan and Ye Chen.
"careful!"
Ren Feifan let out a low shout and took the lead in meeting the attack. The Destruction Sword Qi collided with the Sword Qi of the Absolute Fiend Sword Master, producing a deafening roar that swept across the entire area.
Xia Ruoxue then activated the power of moonlight, transforming it into a moonlight barrier to resist the attack of Dao Ancestor Wuchen. The moonlight collided with the evil power, producing a sizzling sound, and the barrier trembled continuously, threatening to shatter at any moment.
Holding the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Dao Sword, Ye Chen was both fending off the karmic fire of the Divine Tomb cultivators and guarding against the sneak attacks of the Absolute Fiend Sword Master. His expression was extremely solemn.
This is the Island of Fiend Swords. The Fiend Sword Master controls the earth's vein power on the island, causing his cultivation to surge and his sword aura to become increasingly fierce. Every sword strike carries the power to destroy the world. Ren Feifan gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, and several more wounds appeared on his body.
This is because Ren Feifan's spiritual energy was somewhat depleted during his previous battle with the First Tyrant, and he has not yet fully recovered.
Otherwise, even if the Sword Master of Absolute Fiend had the advantage of terrain, he might not have been at a disadvantage.
The chaotic evil power of Dao Ancestor Wuchen was also very strange, constantly eroding Xia Ruoxue's moonlight barrier. Xia Ruoxue's breathing gradually became disordered, and cold sweat seeped from her forehead. She was about to be unable to hold on.
Ye Chen was held back by two Divine Tomb cultivators and was unable to fully support Ren Feifan and Xia Ruoxue. The three of them were in increasingly unfavorable circumstances and were trapped in a predicament.
Ye Chen knew that if the stalemate continued, the three of them would be suppressed sooner or later.
He and Ren Feifan exchanged a glance, both seeing a resolute look in each other's eyes.
It seems we have no choice but to use our trump card!
Ye Chen's aura of reincarnation surged, and the cycle of reincarnation unfolded beneath his feet, while Ren Feifan prepared to unleash his trump card of the God of Destruction for a desperate fight against his opponent.
"stop!"
Just then, a terrifying and domineering aura spread from the sky, overshadowing all other auras on the field.
Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw a dark figure walking through the sky, followed by dozens of powerful cultivators, each with a chilling aura and surrounded by dense burning curse energy.
"The Evil Lord of Burning Curses?!"
The Sword Master of Absolute Fiend's expression changed drastically when he saw the black shadow descend.
Ye Chen stared intently and immediately discerned the secret of heaven, his heart also trembling.
The dark figure was none other than the lord of Burning Curse Island, one of the four great islands, whose name was:
The Evil Lord Who Burns Curses!
The Burning Curse Evil Lord was a burly man dressed in a black robe. His face was ferocious, and he was surrounded by burning curse energy. His eyes were cold and sharp. His gaze swept over everyone present and finally landed on the Absolute Fiend Sword Master and the Dustless Dao Ancestor: "Stop right now!"
The Sword Master of Absolute Fiend frowned deeply: "Burning Curse Evil Lord? What are you doing here? What brings you to my Fiend Sword Island?"
His tone revealed a deep apprehension towards the Evil Lord of Burning Curses.
Ren Feifan whispered to Ye Chen, "This person is the guardian of the reverse hatching egg, and his strength should not be underestimated."
Ye Chen's heart stirred. The reverse hatching egg that had just appeared in the sky above the Fiend Sword Island was just a projection.
The true reverse-hatched egg is not on the Island of Fiend Sword. Only when he met the Evil Lord of Burning Curses did the secret become clear to him.
It turns out that the reverse-hatched egg was on the Burning Curse Island where the Burning Curse Evil Lord was located!
Being near the water tower, one gets the moon first; the evil lord who burns curses guards the reverse-hatched eggs, and naturally also receives all kinds of nourishment and benefits from them.
His strength is clearly above that of the Absolute Fiend Sword Master!
At this moment, the Absolute Fiend Sword Master looked extremely ugly. He never expected that the Burning Curse Evil Lord would suddenly descend, and bring so many powerful figures from Burning Curse Island with him.
The Dao Ancestor Wuchen and the two people from the Divine Tomb were also shocked. Since they were active in the Sha Yao District, they naturally had to consider the reputation of the strong people in the Sha Yao District. It would be extremely difficult for them to capture Ye Chen and Ren Feifan on their own.
Ignoring their shock, the Evil Lord of Burning Curses landed in front of Ye Chen and the other two, blocking their way. He coldly looked at the Absolute Fiend Sword Master and the Dustless Dao Ancestor, his tone forceful:
"Sword Master of Absolute Fiend, Dao Ancestor of Dustless, I have come here today for only one thing—I will protect these three. Anyone who dares to lay a finger on them will be an enemy of my Burning Curse Island!"
Upon hearing the words of the Evil Lord of Burning Curses, everyone present was shocked.
Not only were the Absolute Fiend Sword Master and the Dustless Dao Ancestor shocked, but Ye Chen, Ren Feifan, and Xia Ruoxue were also quite surprised.
Ye Chen did not expect that the Burning Curse Evil Lord would say he would protect him as soon as he descended.
The Sword Master of Absolute Fiend's face darkened, and he said, "Burning Curse Evil Lord, this matter has nothing to do with your Burning Curse Island. It is a feud between my Fiend Sword Island and the three Lords of Reincarnation. You'd better not meddle in other people's business, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
"You're too kind?" The Burning Curse Evil Lord sneered. "You? Absolute Fiend Sword Master, with your meager skills, you dare to be arrogant in front of me?"
He paused, his tone becoming increasingly firm: "I'll say it again, I will protect these three people today!"
"They are people chosen by our ancestor, how dare you harm them?"
