The best medical god in the city

Chapter 12592 The Price of Sacrifice

However, this cheating actually helped Ye Chen, allowing him to achieve a balance of Yin and Yang and temporarily avoid worrying about the Great Calamity of Light.

Ye Chen slowly took three steps back, and the wound that had pierced his shoulder disappeared instantly.

It's not a complete cure, it's a complete disappearance!

Or to be more precise, Ye Chen transferred his injuries to the future!

This is also a wonderful application of the divine authority over time.

"It seems I won."

Ye Chen's gaze was icy as he looked at Gu Jiuge, who was already trapped in a time-stopped state and unable to move.

He immediately swung the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, aiming for Gu Jiuge's head.

Gu Jiuge's blood was surging. In the critical moment, she unleashed all her spiritual energy and, with a bang, finally broke free from the time-stop spell before Ye Chen's sword arrived.

The water in the Kan River resumed its flow. He took a step back, narrowly dodging Ye Chen's sword strike, and said in a deep voice:
"The competition isn't over yet, Emperor Ye, you're celebrating too soon!"

After saying that, Gu Jiuge made a hand seal, and one after another, enormous water people and pure water birds were born again.

"Water Prison Technique!"

Gu Jiuge gave a shout, and a water prison immediately rose up, trapping Ye Chen.

Then, the numerous water creatures and birds frantically pounced on Ye Chen.

In the midst of the chaos, Gu Jiuge was struck by Ye Chen's time-stopping spell.

However, given his cultivation level and the blessing of the Yin God, even if they fought seriously, Ye Chen's Time God Path would have a hard time harming him.

When Ye Chen saw the numerous water creatures and birds rushing towards him, as if they were about to tear him to pieces, he remained calm in the face of danger. He wielded the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, first breaking through the water prison, and then annihilating the water creatures and birds.

At this moment, he used his divine power of time, which had already brought about the great calamity of light, but the yin energy brought by Gu Jiuge's Kan character technique just happened to offset the erosion of the calamity.

This great calamity of light, and the abyssal yin energy, are both deadly on their own, but when they are mixed together, they achieve a balance of yin and yang.

Ye Chen was no longer troubled by the Yin energy and had the power to draw his sword. Relying on the sharpness of the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword, he easily cut down many of the Kan Water Creatures.

"Emperor Ye, you are very powerful."

"If it were a life-or-death battle, I might not be your match."

"But this is a ring battle, you're destined to lose!"

Gu Jiuge's gaze sharpened. After seeing the water people and water birds destroyed, he activated his spiritual energy again and summoned a large number of water people and water birds, which, carrying a fierce and cold aura, once again pounced on Ye Chen.

He doesn't need to defeat Ye Chen; he only needs to attack relentlessly for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Once that time is up, he will be the winner.

According to the rules of the competition, if the two sides in the ring have not determined a winner after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then the attacking side wins!

Now, Gu Jiuge has changed his strategy. He no longer seeks to defeat or kill Ye Chen. He only needs to launch a frenzied attack, maintain his advantage, and wait for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before he wins.

This is how you fight in a ring battle; it's not exactly honorable, but as long as you win, that's all that matters.

"You're doing this again, aren't you?"

Ye Chen smiled calmly. Gu Jiuge's fighting style was similar to that of Mo Yanjun before. She also wanted to increase her attack count and win by exploiting loopholes in the rules.

However, compared to Mo Yanjun, Gu Jiuge is obviously much more difficult to deal with, after all, she carries the blessing of the Yin God.

"The Secret Technique of Concealing Mist!"

Gu Jiuge retreated to the edge of the arena, but still felt it wasn't safe enough. He then used the "Mist Concealment Technique," where water vapor hissed and evaporated, forming layers of white mist. He completely concealed himself within the mist, his figure vanishing entirely. He relied solely on the water creatures and birds created by Kan Shui to launch a frenzied attack on Ye Chen.

He concealed himself within the white mist to prevent Ye Chen from directly attacking him.

"Ye Chen, use the Myriad Manifestations Return to Nothingness Technique, I will help you!"

In the Reincarnation Graveyard, Haotian Lanshen solemnly spoke.

If this continues, Ye Chen will be dragged down and killed; he must find a way to break the deadlock.

"Ok!"

Ye Chen nodded, and without wasting any words, directly borrowed the power of Haotian Lanshen to unleash the Myriad Manifestations Return to Nothingness Technique.

This Myriad Manifestations Return to Nothingness Method evolved from the Reincarnation Method and is one of the core secret techniques of Haotian Lanshen.

Ye Chen formed hand seals, and wisps of black energy gathered in the air in front of him, instantly transforming into a black vortex.

woohoo-

The black vortex emitted a tremendous roar and airflow, the power of reincarnation devouring everything, spreading wildly, aiming to reduce all things to nothingness and bring heaven and earth to annihilation.

A terrifying scene unfolded: the water on the arena, along with wisps of water vapor and mist, were all absorbed by the black vortex.

In an instant, the water and white mist dissipated, revealing Gu Jiuge's figure.

With the help of Haotian Lanshen, Ye Chen did not consume much spiritual energy when he used the Myriad Manifestations Return to Nothingness Technique.

"Do not……"

"What...what kind of magic is this?"

"They actually broke through my Kan character technique!"

Gu Jiuge let out an incredulous cry, staring at the black vortex in mid-air, then looked at Ye Chen and exclaimed.

"This is not your power!"

He could sense that although the power of this Myriad Manifestations Returning to Nothingness Technique did not exceed the limits of the earth's veins, the laws contained within it were extremely profound, and it had easily broken his Kan character technique.

With Ye Chen's cultivation level, there's no way he could do that.

There must be another force supporting this!
"Don't slander people out of thin air. This is all the cultivation I've gained through hard work."

Ye Chen smiled and returned to him exactly what Gu Jiuge had just said, word for word.

Gu Jiuge was furious, but she couldn't refute it.

However, he quickly calmed down and even smiled, saying:
"Emperor Ye, you are indeed very strong."

"But I told you, this is a ring battle, you're destined to lose!"

"The incense stick's time is almost up. Unless you can defeat me, there's no way you can win!"

Upon hearing Gu Jiuge's words, Ye Chen's expression stiffened slightly.

Indeed, he had just fought with Gu Jiuge for so long that the time it takes for an incense stick to burn was almost up.

If the game ends before a winner is determined, the player with the most attacks will win, and Ye Chen is destined to lose.

Haotian Lanshen also sensed that the situation was dire and said, "Ye Chen, quickly kill him!"

Ye Chen's lips twitched slightly as he said, "This one won't be easy to kill."

Gu Jiuge took a step back, formed hand seals, and unleashed the Kan character technique once more.

This time, however, he did not activate the Kan Water Domain, but instead allowed his body to enter a state of water transformation.

In his hydrated state, his body becomes like water, making him immune to many kinds of killing and damage.

Although he was in a hydrated state, without a fleshy body, and unable to use many supernatural powers and spells, Gu Jiuge didn't care. He just needed to stall for a little more time until the match ended, and then he would win.

Yin Shen, Tianwen Ancestor, Tingyou Ancestor, and others were overjoyed to see victory in sight.

"Very good, very good, we won."

The Yin God nodded repeatedly, his expending of his own spiritual energy to bestow blessings upon Gu Jiuge was not in vain; now he finally saw the dawn of victory.

Despite his joy, Master Tianwen sighed and said, "This victory was somewhat dishonorable and not entirely honorable."

Yin Shen waved his hand and said, "It's good that we can win. This is to obtain the Nine Yang True Roc at the lowest cost. Otherwise, if the two sides were to go to war, the situation would be very tragic."

Master Tianwen thought so too, and nodded.

Meanwhile, the people at Jiucang Academy became anxious. They saw Ye Chen display his Myriad Manifestations Return to Nothingness technique, breaking Gu Jiuge's Kan character technique. If they had enough time to continue fighting, Ye Chen's chances of winning would be very high.

But now, the match is almost over, and there's no time left for Ye Chen to turn the tide.

On the arena, Ye Chen intended to use all the power of Haotian Lanshen to kill Gu Jiuge.

But he can't do it that directly.

Because Haotian Lanshen's power is too strong. If it were to be fully unleashed, it would inevitably break through the earth's vein restrictions and violate the rules.

Moreover, if the earth's veins are disturbed, the balance of yin and yang will be disrupted, which may lead to unforeseen disasters.

"Sigh, well, it seems I'll have to make some sacrifices."

Ye Chen sighed, thinking to himself.

"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve, Emperor Ye?"

Seeing Ye Chen sigh, Gu Jiuge felt a little apprehensive. She continued to maintain her water-like state, knowing that if she could just hold on for a little while longer, he would be the winner.

"I will sacrifice my life star, unleash hell, and kill you!"

Ye Chen looked at Gu Jiuge, his eyes turning fierce and sharp. He flipped his hand, and a star appeared in his palm, which was the Demon Prison Fate Star.

He planned to sacrifice the Demon Prison Star to create a hellish realm and kill Gu Jiuge at any cost.

Sensing Ye Chen's intention to sacrifice himself, Haotian Lanshen was greatly alarmed and cried out:

"No!"

"Ye Chen, you want to sacrifice the Demon Prison Star? You're courting death!"

"The Seven Star Meridians of Reincarnation are indispensable!"

"Once this is lost, your Great Dao will be vulnerable, and the Yin energy of the abyss will immediately seize the opportunity to invade!"

Ye Chen was once annihilated by the abyss, and the remaining dark aura of the abyss in the world all wanted to frantically drill into his body and annihilate him.

However, because his Great Dao is complete, he cannot penetrate those abyssal darkness.

This is like a healthy and strong person who is able to resist many germs and viruses.

However, if Ye Chen's Great Dao is flawed and his own defenses weaken, he will be vulnerable to various forms of darkness.

Especially the Seven Stars of Reincarnation, which are like the cornerstone, cannot be lost.

"There will be a price to pay, but if we want to win, we have no choice but to fight!"

Looking at the pitch-black Demon Prison Fate Star in his hand, Ye Chen sacrificed the star without saying a word!
He immediately transferred the Radiant Queen from the Demon Prison Star to the Reincarnation Graveyard.

This life star, which had followed him for a long time and played many important roles, was finally sacrificed by Ye Chen, becoming a sacrifice to the Great Dao in exchange for the power of the Great Dao!
Rumble!
The Demon Prison Star shattered and vanished into nothingness, and then a rich and surging mass of dark energy appeared in Ye Chen's palm.

Heaven and earth were moved; thunder roared in the sky, and the earth trembled.

Gu Jiuge looked at the ball of dark energy in Ye Chen's hand and felt a chill run down her spine, sensing an overwhelming danger looming over her.

He wanted to run, but once he was out of the ring, even if he lost, he naturally couldn't run.

He stayed behind, his body trembling.

There are 30 breaths left until the end of the match!
Thirty breaths, just hold on for another thirty breaths!

"Thousand Water Wall!"

Gu Jiuge activated the Kan character technique again, creating layers of water walls to firmly protect himself. At the cost, many of the rare and precious materials he possessed were sacrificed.

To ensure he could safely get through the final thirty breaths, he couldn't care less about anything else.

Rumbling--

With a deafening roar of thunder in the sky, Ye Chen released the dark energy in his hand, instantly transforming the entire arena into a hellish world. Towering cliffs and raging fires raged on one side, and countless little demons bred from the darkness, howling eerily and sending chills down one's spine.

Then, hundreds of ghosts rushed towards Gu Jiuge.

Gu Jiuge was protected by layers of water walls, so the ghosts and monsters could not get close to her for a while.

Twenty breaths left!
"Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, seal broken!"

At the last moment, Ye Chen remained calm and shouted, directly breaking all three seals on the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword!

hum!
Once all three seals were broken, an astonishingly sharp light erupted from the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword. The light soared into the sky, piercing a huge hole in the firmament and even shattering the barriers of the world. A dark, scarlet, hellish scene, like a purgatory, appeared in the sky beyond the world.

When the Abyss descended and destroyed Ye Chen, it was later destroyed by the Primordial Beginning. The world barrier has been greatly shaken and weakened.

But now, Ye Chen's sword light shattered the sky, revealing a chaotic scene beyond the world, which was truly astonishing.

"What kind of weapon is this? It's so sharp that it shattered the sky!"

"Ah, is that a scene from beyond the world? So dark and crimson, it seems a terrible disaster is brewing."

"Oh no! A corner of the sky has been shattered. Isn't the calamity of the outer heavens about to fall down?"

"Don't worry, the Yin-Yang Heavenly Dao still exists, so disasters from outside the world won't easily infiltrate."

……

Seeing Ye Chen shatter the sky, the audience let out a series of shocked exclamations and began to discuss among themselves.

The sky was shattered, revealing a terrifying disaster in a corner of the world, causing many to panic and tremble with fear.

Fortunately, the crimson disaster scene remained suspended high in the sky like a phantom, and did not fall down, which reassured everyone.

Beyond the starry sky, there is the Heavenly Dao protecting the other side. The Heavenly Dao, once the pillar of creation, is gone and has been replaced by the Yin-Yang Dao.

The omnipresent Yin-Yang energy protects this world. If Ye Chen only shatters a small piece of the sky, it will not be enough to unleash the disasters from outside the world.

However, such sharp sword energy was truly astonishing.

Gu Jiuge's expression froze as she stared at the sword in Ye Chen's hand, unable to believe that such a sharp divine sword existed in the world.

The divine sword flashed with a dazzling light, shaking the heavens and the earth. Even Ye Chen's own clothes were torn to shreds, revealing his muscular physique.

In the previous battle with Qitianjun, Ye Chen used the Burial Technique and suffered a backlash, his flesh and blood withered. However, he later received the blessing of the earth, like drinking sweet milk, and his withered flesh and blood recovered and became stronger than before!

However, even these strong muscles could not withstand the onslaught of the Heavenly Emperor's divine sword, and were cut with deep gashes, dripping with blood.

This Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword was so sharp and fierce that it injured Ye Chen himself before it could even harm the enemy.

When Ren Feifan, who was in the audience, saw this, his face also darkened.

He once created three seals to lock the sharpness of the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword, fearing that the sword's sharpness was too fierce and would harm Ye Chen himself.

"Wait, why didn't the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword break through the earth's veins?"

Ren Feifan was taken aback and suddenly realized that the Yin-Yang Earth Vein was still very stable and showed no signs of being broken or disturbed.

Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword was so sharp that it could shatter the sky, completely exceeding the scope of the Life Source Realm.

But strangely enough, the earth's veins remained unmoved and remained perfectly stable.

Upon closer inspection, Ren Feifan understood.

It turns out that Ye Chen sacrificed the Demon Prison Star to create a hellish barrier that covered the arena.

Even a whole world was covered by the hellish barrier.

However, this hellish barrier is surrounded by a layer of the power of the Great Dao.

This is the blessing of the Great Dao obtained by sacrificing the Demon Prison Destiny Star.

Surrounded by this power of the Great Dao, that hellish barrier resembled a secluded little world.

Even if the battles in the small world shatter the sky, they won't shake the earth's veins.

Ye Chen specially sacrificed the Demon Prison Life Star in order to attract the power of the Great Dao and avoid shaking the earth's veins.

In this way, when he breaks the seal on the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword, he will not break through the earth's vein restrictions.

Although his current sharpness and power have completely surpassed the Life Source Realm, the earth veins have not been shaken, so it is not considered a violation of the rules.

Only ten breaths left!
"Senior, lend me more power!"

Ye Chen communicated with the Reincarnation Graveyard and spoke to Haotian Lanshen.

At this moment, he broke the triple seal, and the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword exploded with power. In addition to being injured by the backlash, Ye Chen also felt that this sword was like a vampire, frantically absorbing his spiritual essence.

Without external support, he would wither and die in an instant.

The Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword is such a powerful weapon that it is really difficult to control!
"it is good!"

Without further ado, Haotian Lanshen continued to release wisps of spiritual energy, channeling it into Ye Chen's meridians to aid him in wielding the divine sword.

At this moment, with the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword's astonishing sharpness as cover, even if Haotian Lanshen used his power, he would not be exposed.

With the help of Haotian Lanshen, Ye Chen firmly grasped the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword.

Five breaths left!
Ye Chen stared at Gu Jiuge, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Before the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword could even be unleashed, the fierce and deadly sword intent it emitted had already shattered and destroyed all the layers of the Thousand Water Wall that Gu Jiuge had set up.

Along with the monsters that spawned in hell, they were all strangled.

In the entire hellish world, Ye Chen reigns supreme, unparalleled yet lonely, a solitary king.

Gu Jiuge was completely stunned and terrified.

Holding the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, Ye Chen's aura was extremely fierce and domineering, incomparably arrogant.

The sharpness of that divine sword even shattered the sky!
dead!
Dead!
Gu Jiuge had only this thought in his mind. Although he had entered a water-like state, his whole body was like water and he was immune to all magic, he was certain that this would not be able to stop Ye Chen's sword.

The Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword, with all three seals broken, was far too sharp and terrifying, and those who stood in its way were utterly defeated.

Gu Jiuge wanted to surrender and kneel down to show his submission, but under the suppression of the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword's sword intent, he was completely speechless.

My last breath!
Ye Chen drew his sword.

In less than a thousandth of a blink of an eye, a sword beam as vast as the sky and the sea burst forth, its brilliant white light even exuding an aura of supreme holiness.

It was as if this sword strike was not for killing, but for salvation.

Without any suspense, when Gu Jiuge's body touched the sword light, her body immediately evaporated and turned into nothingness in an instant.

With a single sword strike, Ye Chen killed Gu Jiuge.

No fancy sword techniques are needed, nor is a grand sword technique like the "God-Slaying Emperor Sword Slash". Simply relying on the sharpness of the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword is enough to kill all enemies.

Even if Gu Jiuge mastered the Kan character technique and wanted to save her life with water-based magic, it would be absolutely impossible.

"What a fine sword! What a sharp sword!"

When the Heavenly Question Ancestor saw Gu Jiuge being killed, his first reaction was not to grieve for his disciple's death, but to become completely excited because he had witnessed the earth-shattering sharpness of the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword.

In his fervent excitement, even the appearance of the Heavenly Question Ancestor became much younger, and he regained his former youthful appearance.

This is clearly because his Dao heart was greatly satisfied, and the wear and tear was reduced.

The Tingyou Ancestor and the Yin God, who were standing to the side, looked at the Tianwen Ancestor with some surprise.

They knew all along that the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor was burning with fervor for seeking the Dao, and that his mind was solely focused on the pursuit of the Dao.

But none of them expected that even after Gu Jiuge was killed, the Heavenly Question Ancestor would still praise Ye Chen's divine sword for its sharpness.
