The best medical god in the city

Chapter 12698 Inner Demons
"The most important rule of this trial is to do our best to dispel the fog in the forbidden area so that the path to the gate can see the light of day again. Once the fog has cleared, the Gate of Destiny will appear."

"The one who holds the gate of destiny is the one with the supreme destiny of the world, which also means holding the most correct path."

"The chaotic mist in the forbidden area is extremely dense. I suspect that beneath the earth, there are the bones of some ancient evil gods, and even the Heavenly Demon, as well as the two demons transformed from the supreme fears of the Primordial Abyss."

"Only by vanquishing all demons can we see the true path."

"I ask that you all do your best in this trial. After the trial is over, no matter what the result is, the Temple of the End will reward you handsomely."

He had already prepared a multitude of rare and precious materials as prizes and rewards, including even Dao artifacts!
Ye Chen said, "The Star Seal..."

He still remembered the Star Seal; that magical artifact seemed to be related to the Great Heavenly Emperor, and he had to get his hands on it!

The Lord of the Wuxiang Palace said, "Lord of Reincarnation, please rest assured. Our sect has promised that the winner of the tournament will receive the Seal of the Stars."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, then looked at the Lord of Gray Mist and Jin.

Jin is considered the spirit of the Burning Heaven fragment. Ye Chen almost killed him before, and now that he has been revived, he is also a hidden danger.

Ye Chen could clearly sense the resentment and hatred in Jin's eyes.

However, he didn't take it too seriously. His strength was now far greater than before, and Jhin no longer posed a threat to him.

Compared to Jhin, the Lord of the Gray Mist is a much greater threat.

The Lord of Wuxiang continued, "Once we enter the forbidden area, we will be shrouded in chaotic mist and will inevitably become lost and scattered. At that time, each of you will have to rely on your own strength to break through the mist."

"This humble monk would like to make it clear beforehand that this trial is extremely dangerous. Even a Heavenly Dao Realm expert could be trapped and die in the mist, or get stuck in various paths."

"If you have any fear, it's not too late to back out now."

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the room. Some people looked calm, some were indifferent, and some were uneasy, but no one said they wanted to leave.

At this point, no one will back down; everyone wants to find the right path among countless options.

If good fortune smiles upon them, they will be presented with an opportunity to soar to new heights!

The Lord of the Wuxiang Palace nodded slightly and said:
"There are five rules to be aware of once you enter the forbidden area of ​​the Divine Path."

"First, don't speak loudly."

"Second, you can't sleep."

"Third, it must not emit light."

Fourth, fighting and killing are prohibited.

Fifth, do not attempt to dispel the fog.

"All of the above actions will attract the attack of the Chaos Demons."

"Hehe, but we've come here to slay demons and dispel the fog. These five rules must be broken ruthlessly. The more demons we attract, the more we kill, the faster the fog will dissipate."

"If all goes well, I expect that the fog will be completely dispelled within three months, allowing the Gate of Destiny to be revealed."

After explaining the rules, he paused for a moment:
"Then, the Trial of the Divine Path shall officially begin."

After speaking, he led the shepherd, along with a group of high-ranking elders of the Temple of the End, the gods of various branch temples, true disciples, and so on, into the forbidden area of ​​the divine path.

"Let's go in too."

Ye Chen glanced at the people in the Samsara camp, then led them closely behind the Temple of the End, stepping into the forbidden land of the Divine Path.

Then, everyone present went inside one after another.

The lineup for this Divine Path Trial is incredibly luxurious, with powerful figures from the entire Starry Sky Beyond and Yin Yang Heavenly Continent all present.

On the Samsara camp side, there are Ye Chen, Heavenly Mother, Su Yunli, Mirror Flow Immortal Venerable, Ling Qingya, Feng Wuyai, Xi Yue, Feng Qingxue, Yuanzu and others.

On the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect side, there are Ancestor Tingyou and Ancestor Tianwen.

On the Black Abyss Demon Palace side, there are the Black Queen Mother and the Scarlet Witch.

Among the independent cultivators are Blood Phoenix Emperor, Yellow Dragon Emperor, White Tiger Emperor, Lord of Gray Mist, and Jin.

Forces like the Sun and Moon Dao Court, the Erosion Realm Sword Sect, and the Soaring Sword Sect are considered formidable, but compared to giants like Ye Chen and the Black Queen Mother, they are nothing more than ants.

As the organizer, the Temple of the End, with its Lord of the Temple of No Form and the Shepherd, fielded such a luxurious lineup, all for the sake of competing for the supreme Gate of Destiny.

Ye Chen had also been observing whether the Heavenly Sword Master and his disciple had entered this place.

After a thorough search, it seems nothing was found.

He didn't care; if they stepped into the forbidden area of ​​the Divine Path, that wouldn't be bad.

……

The Forbidden Land of the Divine Path is as vast as a star field. After Ye Chen and his group entered, they were instantly enveloped by an incredibly thick chaotic mist.

The mist was dark and gloomy, a blend of gray and black, and it was icy cold to the touch, slowly eroding the spiritual energy of the human body.

Ye Chen had been to the Forbidden Land of the Divine Path with Jing Liyue before. The last time he came, the fog wasn't this thick.

It seems that as chaos revives and intensifies, the mist in the forbidden land of the gods is becoming increasingly turbulent and terrifying.

If an ordinary cultivator were caught in this chaotic fog, they would probably lose their mind and go mad in an instant.

A faint chill, mixed with the chaotic mist, tried to penetrate Ye Chen's meridians through his pores, but was blocked by his half-step Undying Realm body.

"Daddy, it's so cold."

"This place makes me feel really uncomfortable..."

As Xi Yue held Ye Chen's hand, she also felt a chill after entering the forbidden area. It wasn't the temperature that was cold, but rather a strange, chaotic law that was constantly eroding the human body and disrupting the order within it.

Ye Chen frowned slightly. The chaotic mist was too thick. Xi Yue was right next to him, but he couldn't see her face. He could only see a small part of her arm.

As for the others, they seemed to have vanished suddenly, leaving no trace.

"What a strange place."

Feng Qingxue's voice came from a very distant place.

Ye Chen remembered that Feng Qingxue was right beside him, but now, hearing her voice, it was as if she were far away.

"Qingxue".

Ye Chen called out and reached out to touch the side, but found nothing. There was no one beside him, and Feng Qingxue's voice was nowhere to be seen.

"I'm here, Ye Chen. Where are you and Xi Yue?"

Feng Qingxue called out, sounding rather anxious.

Ye Chen frowned and said, "It seems that the space here has been disturbed by the chaotic mist."

He raised his voice: "Is everyone here?"

"exist."

"I'm here."

"Hey, why do you guys sound so far away?"

A series of responses rang out from all directions, creating a rather chaotic scene.

The members of the Samsara faction, who had previously stood closely together, suddenly scattered after entering the forbidden area of ​​the Divine Path.

The space here was completely distorted by chaos, causing people to scatter to different places as soon as they entered. Fortunately, it seems that everyone is still here and there is no sense of loss or distance.

"Everyone, gather around me!"

Just then, an old voice rang out, followed by a whoosh, and a beam of seven-colored light shot into the sky, dispelling the mist.

It was the Primordial Ancestor who unleashed a divine light that shocked the heavens.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen wanted to take Xi Yue there.

But in the next instant, a terrifying and chaotic roar, wailing, and tearing sound rang out. One after another, ghosts, skeletons, twisted ferocious beasts, and some indescribable strange monsters, branches, tentacles, eyeballs, rotting flesh, and so on, emerged from the void like a tide.

These terrifying demonic tides were faster than Ye Chen and the others, and they frantically rushed towards the Primordial Ancestor and the pillar of light.

The rules of the forbidden land of the gods are that no light can be emitted and no loud voices can be spoken, otherwise demons will be attracted.

Yuanzu's move immediately unleashed a frenzied surge of demonic energy.

"Humph!"

Yuanzu snorted, showing no fear, and used his magic to fight back. Streams of seven-colored rainbow light burst forth, instantly annihilating many demons.

But more monsters were attracted, and soon all the light was drowned out.

The mist in front of Ye Chen was stirred up and surged violently, and some demonic creatures pounced on him.

He released Xiyue's hand, drew the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword, and swung it to kill.

The battle lasted for a while, and after he had wiped out all the monsters around him, he suddenly found that the whole world had become quiet.

There was no light, no monsters, no sound, and nothing to be seen except for vast expanses of dark, chaotic mist that swirled around. The void was deathly silent, so silent that Ye Chen could hear his own breathing and heartbeat.

The ancestor is gone.

The moon of yesteryear has also vanished.

All the other companions have disappeared.

There was only endless silence and mist.

"Paiyue!"

Ye Chen shouted loudly, but received no response. His voice only attracted more demons, which he slashed with his sword. He then closed his eyes and focused on his surroundings.

There was no sound, no causal fluctuation; the whole world seemed to be dead.

He could neither sense the presence of the people in the Samsara camp, nor could he detect the presence of the people in the Temple of the End, the Yin-Yang Divine Path Sect, or the Black Abyss Demon Palace. In the vast void, it seemed as if he was the only one left.

"He's got something."

"As expected of the Trial of the Gods."

Ye Chen opened his eyes and grinned. This situation was exactly what he had expected.

The forbidden land of the gods is strange, and he had made sufficient mental preparations. Everything that was happening before him was within his expectations.

Although he had expected it, Ye Chen was still a little worried about Xi Yue and Feng Qingxue's situation, as he was now all alone.

After thinking for a while, Ye Chen shook his head. Worrying and being anxious now would be useless and would only affect his mind.

Xi Yue is the incarnation of the Xuanjia Rhinoceros. Even if she cannot break through the mist, she still has the power to protect herself, which is why Ye Chen allowed her to participate in the competition.

"Come on, demons, let's see how many of you there are, and see if you can wear me down!"

Ye Chen laughed somewhat wildly, pouring spiritual energy into the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword. A shocking sword light shot up, and the brilliant radiance instantly attracted a dense swarm of demonic creatures.

Vast swathes of black tide swept in like a tsunami.

Ye Chen swung his sword, relentlessly slashing and hacking away.

Within the forbidden area, it was extremely easy to get lost. Ye Chen maintained his calm Dao heart and silently recorded the passage of time.

About a day later, Ye Chen had killed more than ten million demons, finally carving out a small vacuum zone in the boundless chaotic mist world.

This vacuum zone, roughly thirty paces in circumference, was no longer affected by the outside mist, and thus became a pristine land.

They slew millions of demons, only opening up a pure land within a radius of thirty steps. The entire forbidden area is as vast as a star field. To dispel all the fog and turn the whole world into a pure land, I wonder how much effort it will take.

Ye Chen finally understood why the Lord of the Wuxiang Palace had organized the Divine Path Trial.

The fog in this forbidden land of the divine path is too terrifying. No one can dispel it with their own strength. Only by gathering the power of all the powerful beings in the heavens and uniting as one can there be a possibility of crushing the chaos and dispelling the fog.

Ye Chen continued to slay demons. The Lord of Wuxiang Palace had said that even if everything went smoothly, it would still take three months to break through the fog and allow the Gate of Destiny to appear.

It's only the first day, so there's no need to be anxious.

Three long months is enough to trap and kill some contestants with slightly weaker cultivation levels.

Ye Chen has mastered the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Dao, so even if someone in the Reincarnation faction unfortunately perishes, he is confident that he can revive them, so he is not too worried.

As long as he lives, there is hope.

Time passed by little by little, and before he knew it, Ye Chen had been fighting alone for seven days. The territory he had created was growing larger and larger, and it was already the size of a small village.

Ye Chen discovered that dispelling the fog and creating a pure land was the most difficult at the beginning, but it became easier and easier later on. It was like a snowball rolling downhill; the larger the territory of the pure land, the smaller the space for the fog to survive.

Seven days later, a portal appeared in the pure land that Ye Chen had created, seemingly out of nowhere.

The gate, forged from black stone, stood in the center of the sacred land, its surface shrouded in wisps of eerie, dark mist.

Looking at the portal, Ye Chen's heart raced, as if some inner demons and sins had been stirred up.

The Gate of Inner Demons.

He could tell the origin of that door at a glance.

There are countless paths leading to doors, but only by breaking through the many erroneous doors can one find the truly correct one.

Ye Chen had previously undergone a small-scale divine trial under Jing Liyue's guidance, and had passed through three gates, so he was naturally familiar with the test of the Gate of Inner Demons.

But the Gate of Inner Demons that appeared before them looked far more terrifying than the previous small-scale simulation trial.

Even before Ye Chen went inside, he could feel his inner demons stirring.

From within that gate of inner demons, a mysterious suction force emanated, as if trying to pull people in.

If Ye Chen wanted to escape, he could, but it would be pointless.

To truly grasp the Gate of Destiny and find the right path, one must first pass the test, breaking through all the wrong paths and wrong gates before being qualified to grasp the right one.

"Very well, let me see what my inner demons are right now."

Ye Chen grinned and, without hesitation, charged into the black vortex-like Gate of the Heart Demon with his sword.

Last time he broke through the gate of his inner demons, he saw that all his lovers had turned into celestial demons. This was his inner demon, the thing he feared and worried about the most.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid that those around him would all become demons.

However, Ye Chen has already eliminated this inner demon. As long as he eliminates all enemies and threats and truly takes control of his own destiny, he can protect those around him.

If in the end we truly cannot win, if we truly have to lose, then we will die together with our lovers, so that none of us will degenerate into monsters.
