Chapter 12794 The Edict of the End
Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine, but remained outwardly calm. He secretly communicated with Ren Feifan using his divine sense: "Senior, the Burning Curse Evil Lord's goal is not simple. He wants to use the Myriad Curse Demon Embryo to seize and devour the Ancestor. We must be careful and not fall into his trap again."
Ren Feifan was startled and quickly responded with his divine sense: "I know. This matter is dangerous. Let's act according to the situation. Let's get the Reverse Star Beast first, and then make further plans."
After leaving the Ten Thousand Curses Cave, the group found that although the malevolent energy outside was still strong, it was much cooler than inside the cave.
The Evil Lord of Burning Curses led the way, saying as he walked:
"The Edict of the End is an ancient treasure of my Devourer Path, hidden in the cursed chamber at the bottom of the island. This treasure is too ancient and has been tainted by the chaotic energy. It has long been untamed by evil. Over the years, I have exhausted all my efforts but have been unable to suppress it. Only the destructive power of Lord Rentian may be able to suppress its evil nature."
Before long, the four of them arrived at the cursed chamber.
Inside the secret chamber, ancient devouring runes filled the space. On the stone platform in the very center, a simple black edict floated, surrounded by a dense aura of malevolence and chaotic power. The surrounding space was distorted, and a faint aura of impending doom emanated from it.
This is the edict of final ashes.
Legend has it that this is a divine object capable of ending the chaos and annihilation!
The edict was entirely black, inscribed with obscure and ancient characters. Between the characters flowed a faint black light, radiating an aura of power that could end everything, inspiring awe and a chill in those who involuntarily followed.
Even Ren Feifan, when faced with this edict of the end, had a solemn expression and dared not be careless in the slightest.
"The aura of the end?"
Looking at the Edict of the End, Ye Chen could vaguely sense a familiar aura in addition to the power of the Devouring Path itself.
It's the aura of the end times!
He instantly realized that the Devouring Ancestor, like the Primordial Sun, was about to reach the end.
But that is a forbidden realm; the Primordial Chaos Ancestor would not allow anyone to touch the end.
"Lord Ren, are you ready?" The Evil Lord of Burning Curses looked at Ren Feifan, his tone filled with anticipation.
Now, the Edict of the End is untamed and its evil nature is hard to control; only Ren Feifan can subdue it.
Ye Chen had just performed a ritual to release vengeful spirits, which had taken a huge toll on him, and his energy had not yet recovered.
Ren Feifan nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly walked to the stone platform. His aura of destruction surged, and endless destructive sword energy burst forth from his body, transforming into a huge sword energy that slashed towards the Edict of the End.
hum-
The Edict of the End, struck by the sword energy of destruction, instantly erupted with fierce resistance. Its malevolent energy surged wildly, transforming into a black shockwave that blasted towards Ren Feifan.
Ren Feifan's expression changed, and he hurriedly activated the power of destruction to withstand the attack. He involuntarily took a few steps back, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Such a powerful evil!"
"There's also an aura of... the end times?"
Ren Feifan said in a deep voice, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes. He had not expected that the evil nature of the Edict of the End would be so powerful.
Ordinary chaotic evil wouldn't be able to harm him.
But if the aura of the End Times is added on top of that, even he would be injured.
The end is the ultimate law, which transcends all authority.
Ren Feifan dared not relax in the slightest, and once again gathered his strength, even mobilizing the energy of the Great Heavenly Emperor Path.
The destructive sword energy intertwined with the golden Heavenly Emperor runes, forming a powerful aura that tightly enveloped the Edict of the End, gradually suppressing its resistance.
Ye Chen and Xia Ruoxue watched quietly from the side. Xia Ruoxue activated the power of moonlight, ready to support Ren Feifan at any time.
Ye Chen stared intently at the Edict of the End, a strange feeling creeping into his heart, as if this ancient edict was conveying some kind of signal to him.
Time passed slowly, and Ren Feifan's aura gradually became disordered. Fine beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead, and his spiritual energy was being consumed more and more. However, the resistance of the Edict of the End did not weaken at all, but instead became more and more violent.
Ren Feifan gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger. Just as he was about to finish, he suddenly groaned and his body trembled violently. A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, staining the stone platform in front of him red.
"Senior!" Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise, rushing forward to support Ren Feifan and asking anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Ren Feifan waved his hand, his face as pale as paper and his breath weak: "It's...it's the karmic fire of the Divine Tomb...they are burning my future body, and I have been implicated and suffered a backlash."
In fact, the karmic fire in the Tomb of the Gods has been burning continuously, and Ren Feifan has been enduring pain at all times, but he has adapted and endured it.
But at this moment, the burning pain was unbearable.
Burning Curse Evil Lord's face instantly darkened, a hint of anger and fear flashing in his eyes: "The Tomb of Gods! It's the Tomb of Gods again! It must be the Martial Venerable of the Turbid World who has arrived. They deliberately made their move at this time to ruin our plans! Now that the Martial Venerable of the Turbid World has descended, the situation will probably get worse and worse."
Ye Chen's expression darkened, realizing that Ren Feifan's predicament must be related to that Martial Venerable of the Chaotic World.
Just as everyone's expressions turned solemn, Ye Chen's aura suddenly surged, resonating strongly with the Edict of the End on the stone platform.
The previously violently rebellious Edict of the End gradually calmed down, and its malevolent aura subsided considerably. A faint thought entered Ye Chen's sea of consciousness, its voice ancient and respectful:
"Your Majesty... Your subordinate pays respects to Your Majesty..."
The Last King?
Ye Chen was shocked. He hadn't expected that the Edict of the End would address him as the Last King.
The so-called Last King is the supreme ruler who ends everything.
Ye Chen had long been burdened with the name of the Last King, and he could clearly sense the spirituality of the Edict of the End. It was no longer that evil and untamed ancient treasure, but instead had an innate sense of submission to him.
How is this going?
Could it be because the Edict of the End was originally imbued with the laws of the end, thus causing it to submit directly to Ye Chen, the Last King?
Ye Chen remained calm and secretly used his divine sense to inform Ren Feifan: "Senior, I can feel the resonance of the Edict of the End. It calls me the Last King and seems willing to submit to me."
Ren Feifan was taken aback. He had tried his best to suppress the resistance of the Edict of the End, but he could not. He did not expect that this treasure would directly submit to Ye Chen.
After a pause, Ren Feifan responded with his divine sense: "This Edict of the End is an ancient treasure with boundless power. If we can control it, it will surely become our trump card. At crucial moments, it will be enough to break the deadlock unexpectedly!"
"Since it has submitted to you, treat it well, but be careful. This treasure is still evil, so don't let it turn against you."
Ye Chen nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
"what?"
The Evil Lord of Burning Curses was quite surprised to see that the Edict of the End had ceased its violent resistance.
However, the chaotic and malevolent nature of this treasure has not been eliminated.
The chaos is still there, but why has it become docile? What's going on?
Ren Feifan slowly straightened up and looked at the Burning Curse Evil Lord: "Burning Curse Island Lord, I'm sorry, I'm suffering from a backlash and can no longer suppress the Edict of the End. However, there is still the Lord of Reincarnation. Perhaps he can give it a try."
Ren Feifan wanted to find a pretext to let Ye Chen take over and communicate more deeply with the Edict of the End, so that he might be able to obtain this treasure.
The Evil Lord of Burning Curses frowned. Ren Feifan had not expected to be attacked by the karmic fire of the Divine Tomb.
"Can the Lord of Reincarnation withstand this?"
If Ye Chen were to actually make a move, that would be fine, but he was afraid that Ye Chen wouldn't be able to hold on, since Ye Chen had already expended a great deal of energy during the exorcism in the Ten Thousand Curses Cave.
Ye Chen said, "Please give me an hour to recuperate and recover my strength before I try to suppress the Edict of the End."
Although the Evil Lord of Burning Curses had doubts, he did not refuse, since there was no better way at the moment. He could only nod and say, "Alright, I will give you an hour. I will protect you and not let anyone disturb you."
Ye Chen said no more, sat cross-legged in a corner of the secret room, closed his eyes, and silently adjusted his breathing to recover.
Ren Feifan and Xia Ruoxue stood guard beside him, their expressions vigilant, constantly watching their surroundings.
However, less than half an hour after Ye Chen began to meditate, a tremendous tremor suddenly came from afar, and a violent and chilling aura swept over Burning Curse Island.
Everyone's expression changed, and they used their divine senses to probe the outside world. They saw black energy soaring into the sky above the Ten Thousand Curses Cave, and the projection of the Reverse Hatching Egg appeared in the sky. On the giant egg, a fine crack appeared, and countless black evil energies spewed out from the crack.
Immediately afterwards, a shrill and violent roar resounded throughout the entire Burning Curse Island.
A massive black shadow burst forth from the Reverse Hatching Egg, its body shrouded in dense malevolent energy, with a pitch-black lamp hovering above its head—it was the Reverse Star Beast!
It actually broke free from the reverse-hatched egg, carrying the Reverse Star Lamp, and reappeared in the world, causing the entire Shayao District to tremble.
Ren Feifan, Xia Ruoxue, and the Burning Curse Evil Lord were all greatly shocked when they saw this scene.
They also vaguely sensed that the Reverse Star Beast did not seem to have struggled out on its own, but was an egg hatched in reverse, released by the Devouring Ancestor.
The Reverse Star Beast's aura was even more violent and ferocious than before, clearly indicating that it had absorbed a large amount of dark spiritual energy within the Reverse Hatching Egg.
As everyone used their divine senses to probe, they saw the Reverse Star Beast rush out and wield its giant claws, wreaking havoc on the Burning Curse Island, with screams echoing continuously.
The many monks and civilians on the island became blurred flesh and blood.
Upon seeing this, the Evil Lord of Burning Curses' expression changed drastically, and a terrifying thought began to frantically grow in his mind:
"Could it be that the Ancestor sensed my disloyal intentions and deliberately released this Reverse Star Beast to punish me?"
Over the years, he has served the reverse-hatched eggs day and night, and his original heart has long been twisted by greed, giving rise to an audacious desire to devour.
He coveted the power of the reverse-hatched egg, coveted the origin of the Devouring Ancestor, and even secretly plotted to wait for the right time to devour the Devouring Ancestor as well, and replace him to become the new Devouring Lord.
But he never expected that the Reverse Star Beast would break free from the Reverse Hatching Egg at this critical moment, and would slaughter his people on Burning Curse Island as soon as it made a move. This made him suspicious and terrified.
Just as he was feeling agitated, a series of completely different and powerful auras swept in from the outer perimeter of Burning Curse Island, approaching like a tide.
Every aura emanating from them carried an undeniable pressure, causing the entire Burning Curse Island to tremble. The Burning Curse Evil Lord's face grew increasingly grim. Upon probing with his divine sense, he exclaimed in alarm, "Not good! People from Fiend Sword Island and Bone Skeleton Island have arrived! How could they have come so quickly!"
Ren Feifan, who was standing to the side, also instantly saw the scene outside. In his divine sense, two huge teams were flying towards Burning Curse Island.
On one side, the Absolute Fiend Sword Master held a jet-black longsword, his body radiating a surge of sword aura. Behind him followed Dao Ancestor Wuchen, two Divine Tomb cultivators, and a large number of elites from Fiend Sword Island.
At the very front, a burly figure walked through the air, surrounded by an unparalleled aura of martial arts. He was none other than the Turbid World Martial Venerable, one of the five great burial saints of the Divine Tomb.
On the other side, an old man in a gray robe also flew over with a group of men.
The old man's face was withered, his eyes were cloudy but gleamed with an eerie light, and he was surrounded by thousands of skeletal corpse demons, which let out hoarse roars and exuded an aura of decay.
The old man held a jet-black banner in his hand, upon which countless vengeful spirits swirled, emanating a nauseating resentment.
Xia Ruoxue was startled when she saw him: "Who is this person? What a terrifying aura!"
When she saw the banner in the old man's hand, she felt as if her soul was being pulled away.
The Curse-Burning Evil Lord said, "It is the island lord of Bone Island, Ancestor Wanxing!"
"This person is most skilled in the art of controlling corpses and remains, and commands countless corpse demons. His strength is unfathomable."
"That Reverse Star Lamp was originally the natal magic weapon of the Myriad Star Ancestor, but it was taken away by the Reverse Star Beast many years ago."
"Now, all that remains of the Reverse Star Lamp in the hands of Ancestor Wanxing is the wick. His arrival here must be to hunt down the Reverse Star Beast and reclaim the Reverse Star Lamp!"
He paused, then said in a somber tone, "Now that the Martial Venerable of the Turbid World, the Sword Master of Absolute Fiend, and the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Stars have gathered together, each with ill intentions, and with the Reverse Star Beast rampaging across the island, the situation is probably extremely dangerous."
Ren Feifan's expression darkened, and he looked towards the direction of the Reverse Star Beast outside, saying, "No matter how dangerous the situation is, we must not let the Reverse Star Beast fall into their hands!"
He knew that only the Heavenly Fiend Power of the Reverse Star Beast could suppress the Human Fiend within Ye Chen.
Xia Ruoxue nodded, clearly understanding this as well. A resolute glint flashed in her eyes: "Senior Ren is right. We cannot sit idly by and do nothing. We must suppress the Reverse Star Beast as soon as possible and absolutely not let it fall into the hands of others."
Ren Feifan pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Ye Chen, who was meditating, and then at the Burning Curse Evil Lord, and said, "Let Ye Chen stay here to continue meditating and recover, and then try to suppress the Final Edict. I will go out with you and Miss Ruoxue to suppress the Reverse Star Beast together."
He wanted to create an opportunity for Ye Chen.
Upon hearing this, the Evil Lord of Burning Curses hesitated for a moment, fearing that Ye Chen would take away the Edict of the End.
But then he thought again, he had already bound the Edict of the End to his own blood, and even if Ye Chen left it in the secret chamber, he could never claim it as his own.
Moreover, as long as Ye Chen can successfully suppress the evil nature of the Edict of the End, he will be able to directly control this treasure. At that time, his strength will definitely increase significantly, and he will have more confidence even when facing the Martial Venerable of the Turbid World and the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Stars.
The situation outside was dire, leaving him little time to think.
“Alright, let’s do as Lord Ren says.” The Curse-Burning Evil Lord nodded and turned to leave first, his body surging with the aura of burning curses.
Ren Feifan and Xia Ruoxue exchanged a glance, then looked at Ye Chen, who was meditating cross-legged, nodded slightly, and followed closely behind, their figures quickly disappearing at the entrance of the secret chamber.
Inside the secret chamber, only Ye Chen remained. The surroundings were completely silent, except for the Edict of the End placed on the stone platform, emitting a faint aura of chaotic evil.
Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes. The fatigue in his eyes had mostly disappeared, and his aura gradually returned to normal. After half an hour of recuperation, his strength had recovered to about 70-80%.
He stood up, walked slowly to the stone platform, his gaze falling on the Edict of the End, his expression solemn.
