Chapter 12792 What Does He Want to Do?
"The...the Ancestor has taken a liking to it?" Upon hearing this, the Absolute Fiend Sword Master trembled all over.
Ye Chen and Ren Feifan exchanged a glance, but sensed that something was amiss.
The ancestor mentioned by the Evil Lord of Burning Curses is naturally the Devouring Ancestor.
Recalling the terror of the reverse hatching egg, both of them felt that being chosen by the Devouring Ancestor was not a good thing.
At this moment, the Absolute Fiend Sword Master's face was ashen. The Burning Curse Island was already stronger than the Fiend Sword Island. Now that the Burning Curse Evil Lord had personally led the team here, the Absolute Fiend Sword Master knew that if he really went to war with the Burning Curse Evil Lord, he would definitely not gain any advantage, and might even implicate the entire Fiend Sword Island.
In particular, the fact that the Evil Lord of Burning Curses invoked the title of "Ancestor" put him under even more pressure.
The greed and murderous intent in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of hesitation and apprehension.
He glanced at the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Sword in Ye Chen's hand, then at the imposing Burning Curse Evil Lord, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
It would be a loss to make enemies of Burning Curse Island for the sake of the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Dao Sword. After all, as long as we live, we can always make a comeback and there will be opportunities to seize the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Dao Sword in the future.
After a moment's hesitation, the Sword Master of Absolute Fiend gritted his teeth and said in a gloomy tone, "Fine! Evil Lord of Burning Curses, I'll give you face today and let the three of them leave! But I warn you, if the Lord of Reincarnation and the other two dare to set foot on my Fiend Sword Island again, I will tear them to pieces!"
Seeing this, Dao Ancestor Wuchen wanted to say something, but as an outsider, he could not go against the will of the Evil Lord of Burning Curses.
The Burning Curse Evil Lord is the guardian of the reverse-hatched egg, and he is the most powerful being in the Fiend Zone.
He must protect Ye Chen and the other two today; it will be impossible for Dao Ancestor Wuchen to capture them now.
Upon hearing what the Blazing Curse Evil Lord said, he chuckled and said, "My good junior brother, you know what's good for you."
It turns out the two were fellow disciples.
After a pause, the Evil Lord of Burning Curses cupped his hands to Ye Chen, Ren Feifan, and Xia Ruoxue, but his attitude became more polite. He said, "Lord of Reincarnation, Lord Ren, and Great Moon God, I would like to invite the three of you to gather on my Burning Curses Island."
Ye Chen had a hidden worry in his heart, feeling that the Evil Lord of Burning Curses had other motives in helping him out of the predicament.
However, at this juncture, the three could not refuse his invitation.
"In that case, I'm sorry to have bothered you."
At that moment, Ren Feifan returned the greeting with clasped hands, and together with Ye Chen and Xia Ruoxue, followed the Evil Lord of Burning Curse and left the Fiery Sword Island, flying towards the direction of Burning Curse Island.
The land of the Sha Yao region is filled with heavy dark evil energy, which is like an ocean. The so-called four islands are the pure lands in the sea of evil energy, not real islands, but only similar in appearance.
Soon, the group arrived at Burning Curse Island. They saw layers of curse runes in the sky above the island, and the cultivators coming and going were also carrying curse power.
Clearly, the cultivators on Burning Curse Island practice the path of curses.
While Ye Chen and his group were on Burning Curse Island, on Fiend Sword Island, Dao Ancestor Wuchen was deep in thought, but unwilling to give up easily.
He brought his men to the Shayao District, intending only to capture the Reverse Star Beast, but unexpectedly, they ran into Ye Chen and Ren Feifan.
Now that he had run into them, he naturally didn't want to go back empty-handed.
However, with him alone, plus two Divine Tomb cultivators, it is not enough to capture Ye Chen and Ren Feifan.
After all, even the Evil Lord of Burning Curses has now sided with Ye Chen.
After pondering for a while, Wuchen Daozu said to Juesha Sword Master: "Shajian Island Master, the Lord of Reincarnation and that Ren Feifan are villains that my Divine Tomb wants to arrest."
“I plan to send a message back to the Tomb of the Gods, requesting the ‘Envoy of the Burial’ to come out of the mountains and come here to suppress those two. I only hope that you can guide him.”
"After the matter is accomplished, my divine tomb will surely reward you handsomely."
Upon hearing the words "Envoy of the Burial of Saints," the Sword Master of Absolute Fiends was startled and said:
"The Envoy of the Burial of Saints? Is that the legendary powerful figure who bears the mission of burying saints?"
"I've heard that there are five envoys of the Holy Burial within the Divine Tomb. I wonder which one is about to emerge from the mountain?"
There are two main paths to the Divine Tomb: one is to hunt down and bury out-of-control evil gods, and the other is to cultivate controllable evil gods.
Their goal is to create a world without evil gods, or rather, a world where all evil gods are controlled—a grand ambition.
But compared to evil gods, in the eyes of the God's Tomb, so-called saints are a greater threat!
Because the evil of an evil god is visible to the naked eye, people will naturally be wary and on guard.
But saints are different. Saints are luminous, and people are easily misled by the heavenly kingdom promised by saints, ultimately leading them to hell.
Long ago, the ancestors of the Divine Tomb were extremely wary of the existence of saints. They foresaw that one day, all living beings would be ruled by so-called saints and would lose their freedom.
Therefore, he established the "Burial of the Saints," which consisted of five people.
These five burial messengers were born with the mission of burying saints and protecting all living beings.
The Absolute Fiend Sword Master had also heard of them; he was told that the five Burial Saint Envoys were extremely powerful and rarely left the mountain.
This time, Wuchen Daozu was actually going to send out the Burial Saint Envoy in order to capture Ye Chen and Ren Feifan, which shocked Juesha Sword Master.
"He is the Martial Venerable of the Turbid World."
The Dao Ancestor Wuchen softly uttered a name.
Upon hearing this, the Sword Master of Absolute Fiend gasped in shock: "It's...this person?"
He had heard of the Martial Venerable of the Chaotic World, a legendary martial arts master who was unyielding in both the chaotic world and the turbulent world of Yin and Yang. He supported the sky of the Divine Tomb with his backbone and suppressed the demons of the Divine Tomb with his power.
That Martial Venerable is the pinnacle of martial arts in this era!
The fact that such an important figure was actually coming in person caused the Absolute Fiend Sword Master to tremble with fear.
Wuchen Daozu said, "Please, Lord Shajian Island, guide and assist me."
The forces in the Shayao District are complex. Even if the Martial Venerable of the Chaotic World were to come in person, it would not be easy to find Ye Chen and his group without a local guide.
The Sword Master of Absolute Fiend pondered deeply, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes, and said, "I can lend a hand, but once the Lord of Reincarnation is suppressed, his sword will be mine!"
Dao Ancestor Wuchen readily agreed.
……
At this moment, Ye Chen, Ren Feifan, and Xia Ruoxue followed the Evil Lord of Burning Curse and stepped into the council hall deep within Burning Curse Island.
The Evil Lord of Burning Curses gestured for the three to sit down, while he himself took the main seat and said, "The arrival of the three esteemed guests in the Fiendish District is an honor bestowed upon me by the Ancestor. I am deeply honored to have the three of you grace the island with your presence."
Ye Chen remained calm, his gaze fixed on the Burning Curse Evil Lord, awaiting the next development.
After a few simple pleasantries, the Burning Curse Evil Lord solemnly said, "The Ancestor's divine revelation states that the Lord of Reincarnation and the Lord of Destruction are chosen ones who can become the Ancestor's right-hand men and help the Ancestor achieve great things."
Ren Feifan asked, "Ancestor? May I ask which senior you are?"
The Cursed Evil Lord said, "It is indeed the Devouring Ancestor."
Ye Chen and Ren Feifan had expected this, and nodded slightly.
That Devouring Ancestor was the founder of the Devourer Path and the original form of the Reverse Hatching Egg; his strength must be unfathomable.
Neither of them expected that the Devouring Ancestor remained conscious within the Reverse Incubation Egg and was even able to issue commands.
Ren Feifan then asked, "What does it mean to become your ancestor's right-hand man?"
The Curse-Burning Evil Lord said, "Our Ancestor intends to recruit the two of you."
"It should be known that the power of chaos is invincible. Everything in this world is utterly vulnerable in the face of chaos."
"Survival of the fittest, and forcibly defying chaos will only bring about annihilation."
"Our ancestor harbors a grand ambition: to devour the chaos, enter the Dao, and become the true Lord of Chaos. The reason we invited you two here today is that we hope you can join our ranks and work together to achieve great things."
Upon hearing this, Ren Feifan slowly shook his head: "I appreciate the kindness of your sect's patriarch."
"However, the path of me and the Lord of Reincarnation does not lie here. Although Chaos is powerful, it is not necessarily invincible."
The Evil Lord of Burning Curses showed a hint of regret on his face and sighed, "You are ultimately too blind. You have never witnessed the terror of chaos, and you still have a sense of wishful thinking in your hearts."
"Well, I think you'll change your minds once you see the Ancestor with your own eyes and witness the terror of chaos."
Ren Feifan shook his head again. He and Ye Chen would never kneel before Chaos.
The Evil Lord of Burning Curses smiled slightly, but did not press the matter further. He simply said, "We can make a deal first. You do two things for me, and I will give you the Reverse Star Beast to help you resolve your current troubles."
Ren Feifan asked in surprise, "The Reverse Star Beast? Wasn't it devoured by the Reverse Hatching Egg? How could it still be here?"
The Evil Lord of Burning Curses gently shook his head: "No, the reverse hatching egg devours all things and needs time to digest. Although the Reverse Star Beast has been sucked into the egg, it has not been completely digested and is still alive. As long as you two are willing to lend a hand, I have a way to draw it out of the reverse hatching egg and offer it to you with both hands."
Ren Feifan pondered for a moment and then asked, "Which two things are you referring to?"
The Evil Lord of Burning Curses slowly said, "The first thing is that on my Burning Curses Island there are ten thousand curse caves, which are the gathering place of the resentment of hundreds of millions of dead disciples after the sun sank the ancient land."
“Our ancestor is benevolent. Although he is fond of devouring, he does not harm his own disciples. Therefore, I will use the Ten Thousand Curses Cave to contain these vengeful spirits.”
"But now that chaos has revived, all souls have been corrupted by chaos, and their resentment is growing stronger. The ancient formation of the Ten Thousand Curses Cave has loosened and can no longer contain these resentful souls. Only the Lord of Reincarnation can use the power of reincarnation to deliver them."
"The second thing is that I have a divine object in my Devourer Path called the 'Decree of the End,' which is a treasure left over from ancient times. However, this object has been tainted by the chaotic energy, becoming evil and unruly, and has gone out of control. Only the destructive power of Lord Ren can suppress it and restore it to its original state."
Upon hearing the two things mentioned by the Evil Lord of Burning Curses, Ye Chen, Xia Ruoxue, and Ren Feifan exchanged glances, each sensing a tremendous danger.
Doing these two things is by no means easy.
Ren Feifan frowned and pondered, "It is by no means easy to deliver the billions of vengeful souls from the Ten Thousand Curses Cave. Suppressing the unruly and evil Edict of the End is even more dangerous."
"Each of these two tasks is time-consuming and laborious. It would be unfair to exchange them for a Reverse Star Beast."
In my opinion, doing one thing is enough.
The Evil Lord of Burning Curses, however, did not take it to heart and said, "Lord Ren is mistaken. This deal is perfectly fair."
"The Reverse Star Beast devoured the Reverse Star Lamp, which was also an ancient creation of the Devourer Path, containing the power to reverse cause and effect, and was extremely precious."
"The two of you obtaining the Reverse Star Beast is equivalent to simultaneously receiving two great fortunes. How can it be considered unfair to exchange two things for two great fortunes?"
Ren Feifan remained silent for a moment, then turned and exchanged a glance with Ye Chen. He had overlooked the Reverse Star Lamp, which was also a great creation.
He nodded slightly and said to the Burning Curse Evil Lord, "Alright, this deal can be done, but you must guarantee that you will hand over the Reverse Star Beast to us as promised after the deal is done."
The Curse-Burning Evil Lord revealed a satisfied smile: "Rest assured, both of you, I swear on my Dao heart that I will keep my word."
"You should rest for the night, and I will take you to the Cave of Ten Thousand Curses tomorrow."
Once the agreement was reached, the Evil Lord of Burning Curses instructed his subordinates to arrange accommodations for Ye Chen and the other two.
In the guest room, Ren Feifan discussed with Ye Chen, saying, "Ye Chen, this matter is definitely not simple. The Burning Curse Evil Lord is cunning and scheming. Cooperating with him is no different from asking a tiger for its skin. We must be careful and cautious. Let's investigate the tricks behind this matter first."
Ye Chen nodded slightly and replied, "What you say is absolutely right, senior. I also find this matter strange. The Ten Thousand Curses Cave and the Edict of the End are probably not simple. Let's first try to understand the situation and see what's going on."
At that moment, the two sat cross-legged facing each other, their expressions solemn, and decided to join forces to deduce the secrets of heaven and explore the truth of the Ten Thousand Curses Cave.
The two released their spiritual energy, transforming it into an invisible probing force that penetrated the layers of restrictions on Burning Curse Island, peering into the Ten Thousand Curse Cave, and quickly pinpointed its location.
But as soon as they reached the area of the Ten Thousand Curses Cave, an extremely dense aura of malevolence rushed towards them, like a solid barrier, firmly blocking their probing abilities.
A celestial image appeared before the two, which was the Ten Thousand Curses Cave, but it was obscured by heavy evil energy, making it impossible to discern its true nature.
"Such a powerful aura of malevolence!"
Ren Feifan frowned, channeling his spiritual energy with all his might in an attempt to tear apart the barrier of malevolent energy, but to no avail.
He wanted to unleash the power to destroy divine authority, but he was afraid of alarming the evil sovereign of the Burning Curse.
Ye Chen continuously released his spiritual energy, but his gaze could only linger around the perimeter of the Ten Thousand Curses Cave, unable to penetrate even half a step, let alone get a clear view of the scene inside.
"This can't go on. The malevolent energy is too strong, obscuring all the secrets of heaven."
Ye Chen pondered deeply, devising a countermeasure.
Just then, Xia Ruoxue slowly stepped forward and said softly, "Ye Chen, Senior Ren, perhaps I can give it a try."
As she finished speaking, she released a ray of pure and gentle moonlight, like a lighthouse in the darkness, carrying the power to dispel the gloom, and showered it down upon that scene of celestial secrets.
Wherever the moonlight passed, the malevolent energy dissipated as if melting away ice and snow, and the solid barrier of malevolent energy was actually pierced through by the moonlight, creating a crack.
Xia Ruoxue's lunar power was a natural force and did not alarm the powerful figures on Burning Curse Island.
A glint of light flashed in Ye Chen and Ren Feifan's eyes. They immediately seized the opportunity and once again activated their power, extending their probing power deep into the Ten Thousand Curses Cave through the gap opened by the moonlight.
This time, without the obstruction of evil energy, the scene inside the Ten Thousand Curses Cave was clearly presented before their eyes.
Deep within the Ten Thousand Curses Cave, all was pitch black. Hundreds of millions of vengeful spirits surged wildly within the cave. Their forms were ethereal, their faces ferocious, and they emitted shrill, ear-piercing howls. Their resentment soared to the heavens, almost bursting the entire cave apart.
In the center of these billions of vengeful spirits, a gigantic black egg floats—the reverse hatching egg!
The reverse-hatched egg was grayish-white, its surface covered with dense black veins, like human blood vessels, constantly wriggling, but it did not devour or absorb the surrounding resentful spirits and evil energy.
Instead, the vengeful spirits frantically rushed towards the inverted hatching egg, seemingly trying to merge themselves into the giant egg.
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen, Ren Feifan, and Xia Ruoxue immediately sensed a strange divine secret.
Those billions of vengeful spirits were all former disciples of the progenitor, essentially his children.
The Evil Lord of Burning Curses once said that he devoured the ancestor Kuanren, but could not bear to devour his own children.
But at this moment, Ye Chen and the other two, looking at the reverse-hatched egg, felt a sense of greed, resentment, struggle, and sorrow.
The Devouring Progenitor hidden inside doesn't seem to want to devour, but rather it doesn't dare to!
Because these billions of vengeful spirits, besides their dense malevolent aura, also carry a glimmer of light within them.
That was the afterglow left behind when the beginning crushed them!
A sliver of afterglow may seem insignificant, but the combined radiance of billions of vengeful spirits should not be underestimated.
Once the progenitor dares to devour, it may be eroded by the primordial radiance and assimilated by the light.
Ye Chen and the other two could vaguely sense the pain of the Devouring Ancestor. To the latter, these billions of vengeful spirits were incredibly delicious food, but also a deadly poison with a radiant glow.
The Cave of Ten Thousand Curses should have been a dark place, but it was filled with light. Within each vengeful spirit was a tiny, firefly-like glow, the afterglow of the primordial beginnings.
"This Devouring Ancestor is in a rather pitiful state, surrounded by billions of vengeful spirits, yet he dares not devour them."
Ye Chen shook his head. He could feel the tragic state of mind of the Devouring Ancestor, as well as the madness of billions of vengeful souls.
The primordial afterglow, like a branding iron, tormented these vengeful spirits. They longed for liberation and to devour the progenitor, but the progenitor never dared to do so.
Looking at the celestial map, Xia Ruoxue said, "There seems to be another layer beneath this reverse-hatched egg."
Beneath the giant egg was a pitch-black placenta. The placenta was not inanimate, but rather wriggling slightly, as if it were alive. Its surface was covered with blood vessels and faintly pulsated. From the placenta came continuous, fragmented, desperate wails, which were chilling.
"Ok?"
Ye Chen saw the placenta and actually sensed a trace of life.
He once again activated the Heavenly Calculation, wanting to investigate the origin of the placenta.
As the deduction progressed, Ye Chen's face gradually turned pale, his whole body trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.
Xia Ruoxue noticed his unusual behavior and quickly asked, "Ye Chen, what's wrong?"
Ye Chen came to his senses and said in a deep voice, "This placenta is called the Myriad Curses Demon Embryo, and its foundation seems to be... the son of the Burning Curses Evil Lord."
Upon hearing this, Xia Ruoxue looked utterly incredulous: "What did you say?"
Ye Chen was somewhat horrified; the divination he had just performed had allowed him to glimpse some terrifying truths.
Ren Feifan looked at the placenta and saw the cause and effect. He said, "This evil sorcerer is ruthless. He actually killed his own son and used his flesh and blood to make this placenta."
Xia Ruoxue asked blankly, "Then... what does he want to do?"
