Chapter 12815 Don't you recognize me?
Ye Chen didn't know the exact location of the Great Pill Ruins, but he could sense a rich medicinal fragrance coming from the direction of the Great Pill Ruins. Beneath the fragrance was a decaying, chaotic aura that subtly resonated with the aura of the Chaos Pill Emperor.
Following that aura, he sped along at top speed, and soon arrived at the Danxu Realm, where the Great Danxu was located.
Upon entering the Danxu Realm, Ye Chen immediately experienced a completely different scene.
Unlike the outside world, countless enormous alchemy furnaces float in the sky above the Pill Ruins Realm. The furnaces are pitch black and covered with ancient runes. The furnaces burn day and night with raging flames, and the golden firelight illuminates the entire sky, turning the Pill Ruins Realm into a crimson glow.
The entire area was filled with a rich, mild, and mellow medicinal fragrance that was so soothing and refreshing that one couldn't help but want to immerse oneself in it.
However, Ye Chen's mind was extremely sharp, and he could clearly perceive that beneath the rich medicinal fragrance, there was a faint, chaotic aura.
That aura was strange and violent, vaguely similar to the aura of the abyss in the dark sun, but with an added trace of medicinal aroma from alchemy, making it seem particularly eerie.
At this moment, Ye Chen's demonic state had not yet subsided. His crimson eyes were filled with ferocity, and he threw his head back, letting out a furious roar that shook the heavens and earth and resounded throughout the entire Danxu Realm:
"Chaos Pill Emperor! Get out here!"
As the roar subsided, the heavens and earth of the Pill Ruins Realm trembled violently, and the pill furnace floating in the sky also swayed slightly, its flames flickering.
Not long after Ye Chen's roar subsided, a blazing golden light flew in and slowly descended from the sky. Within the golden light, a young man dressed in white slowly emerged.
The young man had a handsome face and a gentle temperament, with a faint medicinal fragrance surrounding him, which contrasted sharply with the fierce and demonic aura emanating from Ye Chen.
He looked at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with surprise.
"The Lord of Reincarnation?"
The young man spoke softly, a hint of doubt in his voice, "How did you end up here? And...and you've fallen into demonic possession?"
Ye Chen stared at the young man: "Who are you? Where is the Chaos Pill Emperor? Hand over Xin Dan at once!"
He could tell that the young man in front of him was not the Chaos Pill Emperor.
The young man gently shook his head, showing no fear whatsoever. Instead, he slowly raised his hands, formed a hand seal, and silently chanted an incantation.
In an instant, countless wisps of crimson mist gathered from all directions, swirling around the two of them.
The dense, white mist enveloped the entire world, blocking not only sight but also sealing off the surrounding space.
It even blocked the divination of heavenly secrets, preventing Ye Chen from perceiving everything around him and from deducing the whereabouts of the Chaos Pill Emperor and Xin Dan.
And those outside cannot see into this place.
"Lord of Reincarnation, calm down."
The young man's voice came from the mist, still gentle: "I have no ill intentions and will not hurt you. You have fallen into demonic possession. Wake up first."
As he spoke, the young man raised his hand and waved it, sending a faint medicinal fragrance into Ye Chen's body.
Ye Chen was about to wake up from his demonic state. Nourished by the young man's medicinal power, the violent demonic energy in his body dissipated rapidly.
Soon, Ye Chen felt a moment of clarity in his mind, and the demonic state slowly faded away.
A moment later, Ye Chen fully regained consciousness. He looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes filled with doubt and a hint of wariness: "Who exactly are you?"
The young man said, "I am Jueyu Danzun, one of the nine Danzun of the Great Dan Ruins."
"The Pill Master of Absolute Desire?" Ye Chen frowned. He had never heard of this name before, and his vigilance remained undiminished. "Why are you helping me? Since you are the Pill Master of the Great Pill Ruins, you should be a subordinate of the Chaos Pill Emperor. Why are you helping me regain my senses?"
The Absolute Desire Pill Master sighed softly: "I did not sincerely pledge allegiance to the Chaos Pill Emperor, but I am trapped in the Great Pill Ruins and have no choice in the matter. Moreover, my help to you is not without reason; I know the Lion Craftsman."
"Lion Craftsman?" Ye Chen was shocked. The Lion Craftsman was none other than the Celestial Ancestor!
Ye Chen knew that Qiong Cang Gen Zu had spent some time in the Great Dan Ruins and was quite famous, so it was not surprising that Jue Yu Dan Zun knew him.
But he never expected that the Absolute Desire Pill Master would help him because of the Celestial Ancestor.
The Supreme Pill Master nodded, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes: "That's right, it's him."
"Back then, I met the lion maker in Dadan Market. We hit it off and became close friends."
"He was an expert in weapon crafting, and later turned to alchemy. His talent was unparalleled throughout history. I also owe my alchemy skills to his guidance, which is why I have achieved what I have today."
"For the sake of the lion maker, I don't want to see you lose your life in vain."
The Absolute Desire Pill Master looked at Ye Chen, his tone solemn, "Lord of Reincarnation, you shouldn't have come here. The Great Pill Ruins is no longer the Great Pill Ruins of the past, and the Chaos Pill Emperor is no longer the Scarlet Emperor of the past. He has gone mad, completely mad."
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he pressed on, "What exactly happened to him? The Emperor Xi said that he wanted to devour Xin Dan and absorb the Dawn Law within her to control the second generation of Yin Gods. Is that true?"
The Absolute Desire Pill Master nodded slightly, his tone full of helplessness: "It's true. Back then, the Chaos Pill Emperor exhausted his entire life's strength to purify the Dark Sun, but he could never succeed. Instead, he was corrupted by the Dark Sun and the aura of chaos, and his mind gradually fell into a morbid state. He stubbornly believed that only by controlling the second-generation Yin God could he control the Dark Sun and save the Heavenly Emperor Origin Sea."
"But he didn't know that his actions had already deviated from his original intention. In order to cultivate the second generation of Yin Gods, he was willing to sacrifice everything, and even planned to use everyone in the entire Great Pill Ruins as materials for alchemy to help him control the Yin Gods. I don't want to die, and I don't want to see the disciples of the Great Pill Ruins become his tools, so I have been looking for an opportunity to stop him."
"Sacrifice everyone to gain control of the Yin God?"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered. This action reminded him of Jiao Yang, and he asked again, "Where is Xin Dan now? Is she still alive?"
"She's still alive," the Absolute Desire Pill Master said slowly. "She can live for at least seven more days. You still have a chance to save her."
"But, the chances are slim."
Ye Chen's expression darkened, and he said, "They're not in the Great Dan Ruins, but in the place where the Dark Sun is?"
He vaguely sensed that neither the Chaos Pill Emperor nor Xin Dan were in the Great Pill Ruins.
Since it's not here, it must be in the Land of Dark Sun.
That dark sun is a malignant tumor parasitizing the Tianhuang Source Sea; any ordinary person who gets close to it will inevitably be contaminated by the dark sun.
Ye Chen's attempt to save people was naturally extremely difficult.
Jueyu Danzun nodded helplessly: "Yes, that place is heavily guarded. The Chaos Dan Emperor is there, and with the abyssal aura of Dark Sun's power, his strength will be greatly enhanced. If you go there like this, it will undoubtedly be a nine-out-of-ten chance of death."
A resolute glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes: "Even if it means facing nine deaths and one life, I will go!"
Looking at Ye Chen's resolute expression, the Absolute Desire Pill Master sighed softly: "I knew you wouldn't give up so easily. Fine, for the sake of the Lion Craftsman, and also because I don't want to be used as material by the Chaos Pill Emperor, I'm willing to lend you a hand."
Ye Chen asked, "Are you willing to help me?"
"Hmm." The Absolute Desire Pill Master nodded. "But you can't just go like this. Going like this is suicide. The Chaos Pill Emperor's strength is unfathomable. With the blessing of the Dark Sun and the presence of the Second Generation Yin God, even if you are powerful, you will find it difficult to contend with him. If you want to rescue Xin Dan and defeat the Chaos Pill Emperor, you must bring along the divine beast of the Great Pill Ruins—the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix."
"The Ancient Phoenix of Entropy?" Ye Chen asked in confusion.
"Indeed, the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix is a divine beast born from the creation of Yin and Yang. Its bloodline is extraordinary. It contains both Yang Flame and Yin Cold power within its body, which can restrain the abyssal aura of Dark Sun and suppress the chaotic power of Chaos Pill Emperor."
The Absolute Desire Pill Master slowly said, "Back then, the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix was imprisoned in the Danxu Death Realm by the Chaos Pill Emperor, and its blood essence was constantly squeezed out to refine pills. If you can subdue the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix and let it lend you a hand, you might still have a chance to defeat the Chaos Pill Emperor and rescue Xindan."
Ye Chen's heart stirred. He could imagine that this Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix must be an extremely powerful divine beast.
If one can subdue it, it will undoubtedly greatly increase one's chances of winning.
Just then, a series of sharp whooshing sounds suddenly came, and countless cultivators dressed in black robes gathered from all directions.
Beams of divine power descended from the sky, annihilating the mist surrounding Ye Chen and the Absolute Desire Pill Master.
Ye Chen looked up and saw those black-robed cultivators staring at him with cold eyes and hostility, their auras menacing.
"You Absolute Desire Pill Master, how dare you collude with foreign enemies and betray the Pill Emperor!"
The middle-aged cultivator at the head of the group shouted sternly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Quickly capture this fiend and come with us to see Lord Dan Emperor; perhaps we can spare your life!"
This middle-aged cultivator is the Law Enforcement Pill Master of the Great Pill Ruins. He is powerful and responsible for guarding the safety of the Pill Ruins. He is most loyal to the Chaos Pill Emperor.
Ye Chen's roar had startled him, so he immediately led his men over. They happened to see the Absolute Desire Pill Master talking with Ye Chen, and he concluded that the Absolute Desire Pill Master had colluded with an external enemy and betrayed the Chaos Pill Emperor.
The expression on the face of the Absolute Desire Pill Master changed slightly. He stepped in front of Ye Chen and coldly said to the Law Enforcement Pill Master:
“Enforcement Master, stop talking nonsense! I have not colluded with foreign enemies. This Lord of Reincarnation is just a friend of an old friend. I was just chatting with him for a few minutes.”
"Casual chat?" The Enforcement Pill Master sneered, his eyes full of disdain. "The Great Pill Ruins is a forbidden area, and outsiders are not allowed to trespass! You have colluded with the Lord of Reincarnation and are stubbornly unrepentant; your crimes are unforgivable!"
"Take action! Seize both of them and bring them back to Lord Pill Emperor to await his judgment!"
"Yes!" The cultivators responded in unison, raising their hands and activating the power within their bodies. Countless alchemy furnaces and magical artifacts floated in the air, their mouths aimed at Ye Chen and the Absolute Desire Pill Master. Waves of attacks, imbued with rich medicinal energy, hurtled towards the two of them.
The expression on Jueyu Danzun's face changed, and he said urgently to Ye Chen, "Lord of Reincarnation, you must leave quickly! Go to the Danxu Death Realm and subdue the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix! I'll hold them off here and try my best to buy time!"
Ye Chen's heart stirred. He knew that the Absolute Desire Pill Master was buying him time. If he stayed, he would not only fail to save Xin Dan, but would also become a burden to the Absolute Desire Pill Master.
"Thank you, Pill Master!" Ye Chen cupped his hands to Pill Master Jueyu, and without saying a word, turned around and transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the Pill Ruins Death Realm deep within the Pill Ruins Realm.
Upon seeing this, the Law Enforcement Pill Master wanted to give chase, but was stopped by the Desire-Free Pill Master.
The Supreme Pill Master of Absolute Desire burst forth with divine light: "If you want to pursue him, you'll have to get past me first!"
Ye Chen did not turn back. Time was of the essence; he had to reach the Danxu Death Realm as soon as possible to subdue the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix.
With his keen observation, Ye Chen quickly located the Danxu Death Realm and sped along at an extreme speed, leaving the cultivators along the way unable to stop him.
Before long, Ye Chen arrived at the Danxu Death Realm.
Unlike the bustling other parts of the Danxu Realm, the Danxu Death Realm is desolate. As far as the eye can see, there are only black deserts and broken mountains. The ground is covered with dried bloodstains and broken bones. The air is filled with a strong smell of decay, which makes people shudder.
The sky was completely dark, devoid of any light. Only in a distant, enormous valley did faint yin-yang light flicker, containing a powerful life force, presumably the location of the Ancient Phoenix of the Entropy Heaven.
Ye Chen strode towards the valley. The closer he got to the valley, the stronger the yin and yang energy became. At the same time, he could also feel a powerful pressure. The pressure was vast and domineering, making it hard to breathe. Obviously, it was the ancient phoenix of entropy emanating from it.
As Ye Chen entered the valley, he saw the figure of the Entropy Heavenly Phoenix.
In the center of the valley, a giant phoenix was perched on a black boulder.
Its body was extremely large, with wingspans reaching hundreds of feet. Its feathers were of two colors: the left wing was a fiery gold, and the right wing was a cold black.
Amidst the golden feathers, blazing sunbeams swirled.
A faint, chilling aura emanated from the black feathers.
The interplay of yin and yang colors creates an eerie yet majestic effect.
Its eyes were different colors, the left eye was gold and the right eye was black. Its eyes were full of arrogance and ferocity, and the pressure around it spread out continuously, covering the entire valley, making people dare not approach it easily.
Countless black chains were wrapped around its body, engraved with ancient runes and exuding a chaotic aura. These were the chains that the Chaos Pill Emperor used to imprison it, suppress its power, and drain its bloodline power.
Ye Chen looked at the Entropy Heaven Ancient Phoenix in front of him, his eyes filled with surprise.
He could clearly sense that the aura emanating from the Ancient Phoenix of Entropy was extremely powerful. Even though it was imprisoned by chains and its power was suppressed, it still exuded a terrifying pressure.
"Son of man, who are you? How dare you trespass into my territory?"
The Ancient Phoenix of Entropy slowly opened its eyes, staring at Ye Chen. Its aura instantly surged, sweeping towards Ye Chen: "Get out! Otherwise, I will tear you to pieces!"
Imprisoned by the Chaos Pill Emperor for many years and subjected to endless torture, it was filled with anger and resentment, harboring hostility towards everyone, especially the people of the Great Pill Ruins.
Seeing Ye Chen barge in, they were naturally filled with hostility.
Facing the oppressive aura of the Ancient Phoenix of Entropy, Ye Chen remained calm: "Ancient Phoenix of Entropy, don't you even recognize me?"
