"Hmm?" The Ancient Phoenix of Entropy was taken aback. It stared at Ye Chen again, and when it caught the fluctuations in Ye Chen's aura, its eyes darkened slightly. "So it is the Lord of Reincarnation."
Ye Chen said, "That's right. I came here to ask you for a favor."
"Do you a favor?" Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix sneered, its eyes full of disdain. "So what if you're the Lord of Reincarnation? You're just a dying man. Do you think you deserve my help? I think you're tired of living!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Ancient Phoenix of Entropy suddenly swung its right wing, sending a chilling aura hurtling towards Ye Chen. Wherever the aura passed, the void froze, and the ground was instantly covered with a thick layer of ice.
Ye Chen's expression hardened, and he dared not be careless in the slightest. He raised his hand and waved a stream of Yang energy towards the Yin cold energy.
The blazing heat and the chilling cold collided, producing a sizzling sound, and the icy ice melted instantly.
"Oh? You've got some skill." A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Ancient Phoenix of the Entropy Heaven, followed by a fierce glint. "However, this skill is not enough!"
It flapped its wings again, and the yang energy on its left wing and the yin energy on its right wing erupted simultaneously, transforming into a yin-yang dual-colored energy pillar that slammed fiercely towards Ye Chen.
Wherever the energy pillar passed, the void was torn apart, and the heavens and earth trembled violently, its power boundless.
Ye Chen's expression changed slightly as he sensed the fierce aura of the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix, which carried overwhelming yin and yang pressure, as well as the earth vein power of the Great Pill Ruins.
He had only recently emerged from his demonic state, and his aura had not fully recovered. It would be extremely difficult for him to contend with the Ancient Phoenix of Entropy.
At that moment, Ye Chen retreated rapidly to avoid the attack of the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix. He quickly thought of ways to subdue the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix, but no matter how he deduced it, he could not find any clues.
The Ancient Phoenix of Entropy is too powerful and unruly, making it extremely difficult to subdue.
Just then, the Edict of the End within him suddenly vibrated, and the spirit's voice entered his mind:
"My Lord, the Ancient Phoenix of Entropy is born from the very essence of Yin and Yang. Only the power of the Edict of the End can suppress it. I am willing to sacrifice myself to unleash the full power of the Edict of the End to suppress the Ancient Phoenix of Entropy and help you subdue it!"
Ye Chen was shocked: "No! If you sacrifice yourself, I'm afraid you will completely dissipate."
The spirit said, "It's alright, I will not perish. At least I will retain a wisp of my spirit. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Having said that, the artifact spirit activated the Decree of the End of Flames and offered a sacrifice directly.
boom!
The Edict of the End erupted with unprecedented light, golden light sweeping across the entire valley, containing immense suppressive power, and fiercely enveloping the Ancient Phoenix of Entropy.
That light contained the full power of the Edict of the End, as well as the spirit's determination to sacrifice itself; its power was ferocious.
The ancient phoenix's expression changed drastically. It felt a powerful suppressive force, and its aura faltered.
The Edict of the End is not enough to suppress it.
But taking advantage of its momentary stagnation, Ye Chen suddenly attacked, unleashing a Samsara Seal that crashed down.
"Do not--!"
The Ancient Phoenix of Entropy let out a mournful roar, but ultimately could not withstand it. It was suppressed by the sacrifice of the Edict of the End and Ye Chen's power of reincarnation.
Its unruly gaze gradually softened.
In the end, the Ancient Phoenix of Entropy was completely suppressed, perched on the boulder, its eyes filled only with docility and awe.
"It's done!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen's eyes flashed with joy. He immediately drew the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Sword and severed the chains binding the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix.
A faint aura merged into Ye Chen's sword, which was the spirit of the Edict of the End. It had not perished, but had exhausted all its power and become an extremely weak remnant, which could only reside in Ye Chen's sword now.
It took Ye Chen a whole Edict of the End to subdue this Ancient Phoenix of Entropy. He only hoped that this divine beast would not disappoint him.
"Lord of Reincarnation, do you wish to go to the Land of Dark Sun?"
Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Chen had severed its chains, and it was no longer oppressed. It felt much lighter and was quite grateful to Ye Chen.
It vaguely sensed that Ye Chen was burdened with enormous karma and was attempting to go to the Dark Sun Land.
"Yes, I want you to join forces with me to fight against the Chaos Pill Emperor!"
Ye Chen said.
Upon hearing this, the Ancient Phoenix of Entropy's eyes darkened. It was clear that confronting the Chaos Pill Emperor was no easy task.
But thinking of the Chaos Pill Emperor's years of suppression, a surge of anger welled up within it, and it said:
"Alright, I'll join forces with you. Even if it means death, it's better than living a life of dishonor."
It paused, then looked into the deeper part of the Danxu Death Realm with a hint of hesitation: "However, there is a treasure here that I would like to retrieve first."
Ye Chen asked, "What?"
Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix's eyes were a little complicated. In the end, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. It would probably be quite dangerous to get that thing back."
"Now, I will accompany you to the Land of Dark Sun."
Ye Chen frowned slightly, wondering what treasure the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix wanted to retrieve. However, he didn't want to cause any trouble, so he nodded without hesitation, mounted the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix, and soared into the sky, flying away from the Great Dan Ruins.
The cultivators of the Great Dan Ruins were all incredibly shocked and astonished to see a phoenix streak of light soaring into the sky, yet they were powerless to stop it.
Ye Chen glanced down at the Great Pill Ruins and could no longer sense the aura of the Desireless Pill Master, unaware of his fate.
Ye Chen didn't linger too long; saving Xin Dan was more important right now. At least Jueyu Danzun could be resurrected, but once Xin Dan was devoured by Chaos Dandi, there would be no possibility of her being resurrected.
Ye Chen rode the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix and flew towards the Dark Sun Land deep within the Heavenly Emperor Origin Sea.
The deeper you go, the dimmer the light becomes. Looking down, the seawater gradually becomes murky and smells foul.
On the distant horizon, something seems to exist, but it is indistinct, as if veiled by mist.
"Activate your spiritual vision!"
Ye Chen activated his spiritual vision and instantly saw clearly that it was a pitch-black sun!
That sun was formed from the endless abyssal aura, the filth, and all sorts of vicious and foul things. Its outline was irregular, but rather twisted like a malignant tumor.
That was the dark sun he had seen before, a dark sun that parasitized the Tianhuang Source Sea like a malignant tumor.
Without a doubt, if this dark sun is allowed to continue its rampage, its abyssal aura will pollute the Heavenly Emperor Origin Sea, parasitizing it like a malignant tumor, and will also completely awaken the Primordial Beginning!
As the ancient phoenix gazed at the dark sun, its flight speed gradually slowed.
Clearly, it was also strongly suppressed by the aura of the dark sun.
"Lord of Reincarnation, be careful, you can't go any further."
Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix's voice carried a hint of solemnity: "The abyssal aura of Dark Sun is too terrifying; we cannot simply force our way in."
Ye Chen looked down and saw that the surface of the Yuanhai Sea had long been polluted by the Dark Sun, turning it into a pitch-black color. Countless broken ancient skeletons floated on the surface, a shocking sight.
"Then what should we do?" Ye Chen asked, as it seemed there was no other way but to force our way in.
Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix said, "Forcing our way in would come at too high a price. I know that a kind of spiritual herb called Yin Yang Devouring World Grass grows near the Dark Sun Land."
"This herb is formed from the Yin and Yang energies. It can absorb and dissolve the abyssal aura of the Dark Sun, stabilize the soul, and nourish the source. If you can pick a few and carry them with you before rushing in, you can greatly reduce the risk."
"Yin-Yang Devouring Grass?" Ye Chen's heart stirred.
Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix said, "Hmm, this herb is extremely rare. It only grows in the Yin-Yang Rifts around the Dark Sun Land. Let's pick it first, and then head to the core of the Dark Sun."
Although Ye Chen wanted to rescue Xin Dan immediately, he also knew that haste makes waste, so he said, "Okay."
At that moment, the Entropy Heavenly Phoenix let out a cry, flapped its wings, and flew towards the Yin-Yang Rift a hundred miles away.
Shortly after the man and bird set off, an aged voice suddenly came from behind:
"Wait!"
Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and saw three figures flying towards him on a streak of light, with the leader being none other than the Emperor Xi.
Beside him was Danxi, and a young man radiating pure light—it was Haoyang.
"Emperor Xi?" Ye Chen immediately became alert. He hadn't expected Emperor Xi to come here. Was he here to arrest him?
However, the Emperor Xi looked much older than before, his body like a withered tree, devoid of any life, like a dried-up corpse.
Xi Huang slowly descended, walked to Ye Chen, sighed softly, and looked at him with a complicated expression:
"Lord of Reincarnation, I know your mind is made up and you are determined to save Xindan. I cannot persuade you and there is nothing I can do."
He paused, then said solemnly, "However, if you forcibly interfere with the Chaos Pill Emperor's control of the second-generation Yin God, it may cause an imbalance of Yin and Yang in the world."
"At that time, the Primordial Beginning will be revived ahead of schedule, and the entire Tianhuang Origin Sea, and even all the heavens and myriad realms, will be plunged into an abyss of no return." The voice was extremely hoarse and turbid.
Ye Chen was not intimidated by the Emperor Xi and said, "I've said it before, Emperor Xi, I know all these big principles, but I still want to save people first."
If there were any ominous signs, Ye Chen decided to rescue the person first before making any further plans; he only wanted to have a clear conscience.
Looking at his resolute expression, Emperor Xi shook his head helplessly: "I know you are stubborn. Since I can't persuade you, I can only lend you a hand."
He pointed to Haoyang beside him and said slowly, "Haoyang has inherited my Sichen Dao lineage. He can assist you in suppressing the second generation of Yin Gods."
"Only when the second-generation Yin God is suppressed can the aura of the Dark Sun be contained, preventing it from going completely berserk and polluting the entire Tianhuang Origin Sea, and also preventing the premature revival of the Primordial Era."
Ye Chen found it hard to believe.
He never expected that the Emperor Xi, who had previously insisted on imprisoning him and preventing him from rescuing people, would suddenly change his mind. Not only did he stop obstructing him, he also allowed Haoyang, who had inherited his Sichen Dao lineage, to accompany him to the Dark Sun Land.
Danxi stood beside Xihuang, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at Ye Chen. She said softly, "Ye Chen, Xihuang... he's on his last legs and won't last much longer. He knows he can't persuade you, and he's afraid that if you rashly venture into the Dark Sun Land, you'll not only fail to rescue Xindan, but you'll also trigger a catastrophe. That's why he decided to send Haoyang with you to lend you a hand."
"Thank you, Senior Xi Huang." Ye Chen clasped his hands in thanks.
Emperor Xi said, "Alright, let's set off as soon as possible. Haoyang, you will go with the Lord of Reincarnation. Remember, your primary task is to assist him in suppressing the second generation of Yin God and stabilizing the aura of Dark Sun. Do not be arrogant or competitive, and do not harbor any disloyal thoughts."
Haoyang stepped forward, bowed, and replied, "Disciple will remember Master's teachings."
Danxi walked to Ye Chen's side, gently tugged at his sleeve, and said softly, "Ye Chen, you must be careful. I'll wait for you to come back."
Ye Chen nodded and said in a low voice, "I understand."
Emperor Xi slowly raised his hand again, and an ancient star map appeared in his palm.
The star map was entirely dark, covered with densely packed runes, and between the runes, faint yin and yang lights flickered.
"Lord of Reincarnation, this is a star map of the Dark Sun Land. Take good care of it. It marks some important places, the location of the Dark Sun core, the dangers along the way, and even the defensive formations set up by the Chaos Pill Emperor." Xi Huang handed the star map to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen accepted the gift with both hands and said, "Thank you for your gift, senior. I will certainly live up to your expectations."
"Go." Xi Huang waved his hand, a resolute glint in his eyes. "Haoyang, protect the Lord of Reincarnation. If anything happens to him, you don't need to come back."
Haoyang bowed again and replied, "This disciple understands."
Ye Chen didn't delay any longer. He flipped over and mounted the back of the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix, nodded to Dan Xi, and then looked at Hao Yang: "Brother Hao Yang, please."
Hao Yang moved swiftly, leaping onto the back of the Entropy Heavenly Phoenix, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ye Chen.
With a cry, the Ancient Phoenix of Entropy flapped its wings and carried the two of them into the sky, flying towards the Dark Sun Land.
Danxi stood there, watching the two figures disappear into the distance, her eyes filled with worry. Emperor Xi gently patted her shoulder, his voice low and deep: "Don't worry, everything is in the hands of fate. This is all we can do."
As they flew closer to the Land of Dark Sun, the oppressive feeling between heaven and earth grew stronger.
“Something’s not right. The aura of the Dark Sun is even more terrifying than I imagined.” The voice of the Ancient Phoenix of Entropy was solemn. “If we go any further, we will enter the gravitational field of the Dark Sun. That power is enough to tear everything apart. We must be careful.”
Ye Chen looked down at the Dark Sun Star Chart in his hand. The runes on the star chart were flashing, marking the location of the Yin-Yang Rift not far ahead, which was also where the Yin-Yang Devouring Grass grew.
He looked up and saw the outline of the dark sun becoming clearer and clearer on the horizon. The pitch-black sun was like a huge black hole, emitting a terrifying suction force. The surrounding void was distorted and torn apart, and countless tiny fragments of space swirled around the dark sun like dust.
"That's it. The Yin-Yang Rift is on the edge of the Dark Sun's gravitational pull." Ye Chen pointed to a misty area ahead and said to Entropy Heavenly Phoenix and Hao Yang, "Let's go and pick the Yin-Yang Devouring Grass first, and then enter the Dark Sun's core."
