Chapter 4268: Chapter 4268: Mysterious Disappearance (Sixth Update)
Woo!
In the end, the entire Light Divine Elephant was completely burned into nihility, without leaving the slightest trace.
"Puchi!"
All the people of Divine Elephant Mountain spit out mouthfuls of fresh blood in unison.
As the Light Divine Elephant was crushed, they all suffered backlash and were severely injured.
"We kicked an iron plate!"
"Run! Scatter and run!"
"Go back and report to the Great Witch, report to Emperor Abyss’s Hall Master!"
Everyone was utterly panicked, completely losing their will to fight. No one had expected Ye Chen to be this terrifying, and they hurriedly scattered to flee.
"Eternal Night Demon Heaven, kill!"
Ye Chen’s eyes were cold; he didn’t give them any chance to escape.
With a swing of his sword, endless black demonic energy howled forth, and Eternal Night Demon Heaven was unleashed.
The world within several hundred Baili all around fell into eternal Dark Night.
"Ao!"
One dark demon beast after another leapt out of the Eternal Night Barrier, tearing those disciples of Divine Elephant Mountain into shreds, not leaving a single living mouth.
After refining the Dark Source Talisman, the Eternal Night Demon Heaven Ye Chen released had its lethality greatly enhanced. The summoned beasts were no longer Illusion Beasts, but true demon beasts that could tear human bodies apart alive, extremely fierce.
"Collect."
After slaughtering everyone, Ye Chen withdrew his aura.
The darkness between heaven and earth completely dispersed.
Ye Chen once again returned to a carefree, unrestrained appearance, like a refined young man, free and unruly; no one would have imagined that he actually ruled over eternal darkness!
Li Qingmo stared blankly, stunned, unable to speak.
This was the first time she had seen an early-stage Heavenly Repairing Realm martial artist who was actually this domineering, this dreadful.
Ye Chen looked at Li Qingmo, his face carrying a solemn expression as he asked, "Who are you, and why do you have a Yin Yang Jade Pendant?"
The Yin Yang Jade Pendant was the token of the Yin Yang Divine Palace. Ye Chen very much wanted to know who Li Qingmo really was and what connection she had with the Yin Yang Divine Palace.
Hearing Ye Chen’s question, Li Qingmo shut her mouth and said nothing.
"You refuse to speak?"
Ye Chen’s gaze turned cold.
"Kill me."
Li Qingmo gripped the Nine Yi Sunset Bow tightly, her eyes filled with indomitability and resolve, her body trembling slightly.
She did not run.
She knew very clearly, under the hands of Divine Elephant Mountain, she might still have a chance to escape.
But in Ye Chen’s hands, she had not even the slightest room to resist, and could only submit to slaughter.
"Your jade pendant, I have one as well."
Ye Chen did not continue to press her, but instead took out his own Yin Yang Jade Pendant.
"What! This... this is impossible!"
Seeing Ye Chen’s jade pendant, Li Qingmo was completely dumbfounded, utterly unable to believe it.
"My name is Ye Chen, and I’m... considered a descendant of the Yin Yang Divine Palace."
Ye Chen shrugged, first reporting his own background.
He knew very clearly that only if he spoke first would Li Qingmo open her mouth.
"You’re also a descendant of the Yin Yang Divine Palace?"
Li Qingmo’s beautiful eyes were shaken beyond measure. She retreated half a step, weighing whether Ye Chen was lying.
But with Ye Chen’s strength, crushing her would be like squashing an ant; naturally, there was no need for him to lie.
"Actually, I’m the same as you, also a descendant of the Yin Yang Divine Palace..."
Finally, Li Qingmo spoke, revealing her identity.
Ye Chen’s eyes lit up, and he said, "Continue."
Li Qingmo took a deep breath, her chest gently rising and falling, and said, "My name is Li Qingmo. My clan is in a remote region. The old ancestor of my clan mysteriously disappeared tens of thousands of years ago. He left behind a letter, saying that if the Li family faced annihilation, the descendants could go to the Central Forbidden Island of the True Nether Sea to seek the protection of someone named Tian Ziyi."
"I was training outside not long ago. When I returned home, I discovered that my clan had been blood-washed by Divine Elephant Mountain. They seemed to be searching for something. I knew they wanted the Nine Yi Sunset Bow, one of the Ten Great Primordial Weapons; they had coveted it for a long time."
"The Nine Yi Sunset Bow was buried in the forbidden area behind the Li family. I secretly dug it out, fled with the Source Bow, and they pursued me all the way. I escaped to this place, intending to seek the protection of Senior Tian Ziyi."
As Li Qingmo spoke, her voice trembled from time to time, and her eyes were faintly reddened.
Clearly, her clan had undergone a catastrophic upheaval. Her parents and kin must have all died.
She had become an orphan, miserable beyond words.
"My condolences. It’s over now, I’ll avenge you."
Ye Chen gently patted Li Qingmo’s shoulder, offering broad comfort.
At the same time, the Heavenly Demon Bright Eye opened, and in almost an instant, Ye Chen locked onto the location of Divine Elephant Mountain.
Divine Elephant Mountain was also in the Yangzhen Domain, near the Li Family Mansion.
The entire Divine Elephant Mountain was, in fact, the materialized body of the Light Divine Elephant.
Moreover, Divine Elephant Mountain was a subordinate force of Emperor Abyss Palace, offering Tribute to Emperor Abyss Palace year after year, exceedingly devout.
For hundreds and thousands of years, the Li family and Divine Elephant Mountain had always coexisted peacefully.
But recently, the legendary Light Source Talisman revived in Emperor Abyss Palace.
Divine Elephant Mountain received nourishment from the Light Source Energy, its strength surging, and finally decided to strike at the Li family, to wipe them out in one fell swoop and seize the Nine Yi Sunset Bow, to present it to Emperor Abyss Palace in celebration of the Saint Slaughter Conference.
After Li Qingmo secretly dug out the Nine Yi Sunset Bow, she was hunted down by Divine Elephant Mountain and fled all the way to the True Nether Sea, seeking Tian Ziyi’s protection.
"Thank you."
Hearing that Ye Chen was willing to avenge her, Li Qingmo immediately felt incomparably grateful, tears falling.
"I’ll take you to meet Senior Tian Ziyi first."
Ye Chen did not hesitate and immediately set out with Li Qingmo.
Li Qingmo was alone and destitute, and Ye Chen had no time to care for her himself; it would be best to entrust her to Tian Ziyi.
The two of them flew over the sea, Ye Chen leading the way in front, but was shocked to discover that Zither Island, Chess Island, and Mountain and Water Island had all disappeared.
The islands that had once belonged to the Four Great Demon Guards seemed to have been directly crushed by someone using Great Divine Power, without leaving the slightest trace.
"Hm, how strange."
Ye Chen had a faint ominous premonition.
"Brother Ye, what’s wrong?"
Li Qingmo asked in confusion.
Ye Chen’s expression was grave. He did not answer, but sped up and flew forward.
He could be sure he had absolutely not taken the wrong route; the islands of the Four Great Demon Guards had indeed been crushed by someone.
Finally, Ye Chen returned to the Central Forbidden Island, only to discover that the Central Forbidden Island had already been blasted apart, reduced to scattered chunks of stone floating on the sea.
Splash, splash, splash.
The waves surged, and chunk after chunk of broken stone gradually sank.
All Karma auras were about to be obliterated.
"Senior Tian Ziyi has left!"
Ye Chen extended his Sensing in all directions, but could not catch Tian Ziyi’s aura.
Everything from before seemed as if it had only been an illusion, never having existed at all; even Tian Ziyi had vanished.
"Brother Ye, what on earth has happened?"
Li Qingmo was utterly at a loss, also feeling that a tremendous upheaval had taken place.
"The Heavenly Secrets have leaked. In order to avoid calamity, Senior Tian Ziyi should have left."
Ye Chen’s expression was heavy. Zither Island, Chess Island, and Mountain and Water Island had clearly also been erased by Tian Ziyi; he didn’t want to leave any traces behind.
"The Heavenly Secrets leaked?"
Li Qingmo shuddered, recalling all sorts of ancient legends of her clan.
Since childhood she had vaguely heard that the existence of the Yin Yang Divine Palace seemed to be meant to counter something, and behind it lay the life and death of the entire world.
