Ye Chen entered the Nine-Feather Pagoda and went straight to the tenth floor.
This place used to be the Nine-Feather Phoenix's nest. Now, he had to go into closed-door cultivation here. It was a bit sad.
"Let's begin."
Ye Chen said to himself. He took a deep breath and his consciousness entered the Yuanhai.
At this moment, the Yuan Sea was filled with dense Yuan Power of Heaven and Earth. The twelve ancient totems were still suspended high in the sky, emitting a misty white light. However, the sixth ancient totem was covered in dense cracks. The Nine-Feather Phoenix engravings on it had completely disappeared, and a ruthless aura emanated from the totem.
The Nine-Feather Phoenix's soul had not disappeared. It was hiding in the depths of Ye Chen's soul.
If the sealing power disappeared, it would immediately appear and seize control of Ye Chen's body with lightning speed. Ye Chen would not be able to resist.
He was too weak and could not resist the Nine-Feather Phoenix's soul.
Calmly looking at the sixth ancient totem, Ye Chen remained silent. This totem was of great significance to him.
If he could successfully activate it, he would obtain the Soul-Devouring Mystique and his strength would rise by leaps and bounds. At the same time, he would be able to thoroughly understand the Sacred Race and all the secrets hidden in the ancient totems. All the mysteries would be completely revealed.
Unfortunately, the sixth totem had cracked and the Nine-Feather Phoenix's soul had been released. It had become Ye Chen's greatest threat.
However, Ye Chen did not regret his decision. That was because he knew that if he had not released the Nine Feathered Phoenix's soul at that time, the entire Ascension Sect would have been destroyed, and even more people would have died. In fact, even the entire Imperial City would have been destroyed.
Sacrifice the individual to accomplish the greater good.
At this moment, Ye Chen finally understood the meaning of these words. A faint smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the solemn expression on his face also slowly dissipated.
"Nine Feather Phoenix, come, let's fight to our heart's content!"
Ye Chen's eyes were filled with a strong desire to do battle. He suddenly let out an angry roar. His body emitted a blinding golden light, and a faintly discernible howl echoed throughout the entire Nine Feather Tower, as if it wanted to break out of the tower and soar into the heavens.
Rumbling sounds could be heard. Ye Chen's eyes flickered with golden light. The golden pattern between his eyebrows was sometimes solid, sometimes floating, as if it was experiencing a struggle.
"Go!"
Ye Chen waved his hand, and the two sealing stones immediately erupted with a powerful aura. The sealing power was like a tide that came crashing down from the sky onto Ye Chen's body, fusing into his flesh and blood, invading his meridians, and even the depths of his soul.
Ye Chen's face began to twitch. Traces of cold air continuously seeped out from the gaps between his teeth. Some of the skin on his body had even begun to split open, causing specks of blood to seep out. It was a rather terrifying sight.
The Sealing Stone Tablet could suppress all evil things in the world.
The Nine Feather Phoenix was an Ancient Ferocious Beast, and its soul was extremely evil. Naturally, it would be affected by the sealing power. However, at this moment, the Nine Feather Phoenix's soul had already fused into Ye Chen's body. Ye Chen and the Nine Feather Phoenix were of the same mind. The sealing power would also cause great harm to Ye Chen.
"I never thought that the Sealing Stone Tablet would be so terrifying. It's hard to imagine how terrifying the pressure that Left Glabella had to endure when he faced the Sealing Stone Tablet. If it was me, I probably wouldn't even be able to last a breath." Ye Chen looked at the seemingly endless sealing power, and his heart was filled with bitterness.
He circulated his cultivation technique, and at the same time, he circulated his Soul Formula. At the same time, his soul and Primary Sea emitted a powerful energy to protect his body.
After a long while, Ye Chen slowly closed his eyes, as if he had entered a deep sleep. He did not know how long this battle would last, and he could only give it his all now.
In the deathly silent Nine Feather Pagoda, there was no concept of time.
Under such endless torture, Ye Chen did not have the time to pay attention to the passing of time. He could only protect his body with all his might. This was because he knew that if he relaxed, he might be completely controlled by the Nine Feather Phoenix's soul again. Or he might be completely crushed into nothingness by the sealing power, and no one would know if he died.
Facing this kind of torment, the only thing he could do was to keep on practicing his martial arts, martial arts, and soul spells.
This kind of life was very boring, as if it was a person from another world.
Time passed bit by bit. Ye Chen did not know how long he had endured. Perhaps it was a year, or perhaps it was a month, or perhaps it was only a day. There was no change in the sun and moon, no rise and fall of the tide. He had already lost the concept of time.
Kacha!
One day, Ye Chen awoke from the blurry state. He raised his head and realized that the smaller Sealing Stone Tablet had suddenly shattered. The sealing power had instantly weakened, and the ruthless aura in his body was rapidly growing.
"Looks like I've failed."
Ye Chen bitterly laughed. In the next instant, his eyes were filled with a resplendent golden light. The ruthless aura rushed into the void and shattered the last Sealing Stone Tablet into nothingness.
At this point, the sealing power had completely disappeared. The entire Nine Feather Pagoda was filled with a resplendent golden light. The dense ruthless aura filled the entire space, as if declaring victory.
Ye Chen let out a long sigh. He closed his eyes, and the last trace of his thoughts also began to slowly dissipate.
He was powerless to reverse the situation.
The instant Ye Chen completely lost consciousness, a rumbling sound was heard. An incomparably dense power was released from his body. However, this power was not the ruthless aura of the Nine Feather Phoenix, but a bloody light.
The blood-red light instantly enveloped the entire space. The originally tyrannical and tyrannical aura instantly disappeared without a trace in the face of this blood-red light.
This disappearance did not mean that it had returned to Ye Chen's body, but that it had been completely destroyed. It had completely disappeared into nothingness.
At the center of the bloody light, a bloody lotus quietly floated in the void.
If Ye Chen woke up at this moment, he would be shocked to discover that this bloody lotus was the one that Left Glabella had left behind for him when he left the Divine Palace.
This bloody lotus revolved around Ye Chen's body slowly. The bloody light spread out. Immediately, a perfect and enchanting figure appeared in front of Ye Chen, emitting a terrifying aura.
This figure was wearing a bloody armor. On her perfect face, a pair of eyes emitted a gentle aura that seemed to be able to seduce one's soul. The entire Nine Feather Pagoda began to tremble slightly because of her appearance. Even the last bit of sealing power was completely destroyed.
This person was Left Glabella.
Left Glabella stared at the unconscious Ye Chen, and the corners of her mouth curved into a bitter smile. Her smile was like a flower, so moving. Unfortunately, there was no one here to appreciate it.
"I never thought that the inheritor of the Sacred Race, who possesses twelve ancient totems, would fall to such a state in order to save a group of lowly humans. It seems that the elders were right. Karma is the cycle of karma. Back then, humans helped our Sacred Race not to be destroyed. Our Sacred Race will have to repay this favor."
Her voice carried a trace of disappointment. Then, Left Glabella began to emit a dense soul power that enveloped Ye Chen's body and also the entire Nine Feather Pagoda.
Balls of light began to appear above her head.
Upon closer inspection, these balls of light were actually ancient totems. There was the Barbarian Bull Totem, the Scarlet Horse Totem, the Heavenly Dog Totem, and so on. They all appeared in front of her, erupting with incomparably powerful energy.
