Chapter 2457: Contain Him

The night in Da Chu was peaceful and serene. Under the moonlight, two figures emerged from Tianxuan Men, their steps mysterious. Their expressions were wooden, their eyes vacant, their bodies sometimes illusory, sometimes solid, ghostly and unpredictable. Each step seemed to tread on the river of time, ancient and weathered.

They were none other than Hong Chen and Liu Dao.

Tonight, the two were slightly different from before. On their foreheads, each had a strange divine pattern etched, which, upon closer inspection, was an extremely ancient curse seal.

Indeed, it was a curse.

"Block those two."

The night's tranquility was broken by resounding shouts. Over a hundred figures chased out, including Da Chu's emperors and divine generals, all with ugly expressions.

"Who cursed them?"

"The seal on the Dacheng Shengtishould have been broken. These two are extremely formidable," Tian Lao said, like a divine light streaking across the night sky, closely pursuing Hong Chen and Liu Dao.

"It's not them who broke the seal. It must be the one who cast the curse," Yan Huang pondered, his eyes flickering uncertainly, not knowing when Hong Chen and Liu Dao were cursed.

"This time they left Da Chu, it must be the curser summoning them," the divine generals all snorted coldly.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became more grave.

Clearly, this was a conspiracy. Hong Chen and Liu Dao were both pawns, and the one who cast the curse must be an extraordinary figure. Otherwise, they couldn't have broken Di Huang's seal and cursed Hong Chen and Liu Dao without anyone knowing. In their memories, no one in the heavens could do that.

They didn't know, but Ming Di and Dao Zu knew it well.

The one who cursed Hong Chen and Liu Dao was naturally the Zhuxian Jian. That kind of curse was mostly planted after Di Huang and Hong Yan left, to drive the muddled Hong Chen and Liu Dao.

The purpose was obvious. Now that Ye Chen had blackened, summoning Hong Chen and Liu Dao over must be to have the three merge, so that no one in the heavens would be his opponent.

And that's exactly what happened.

Zhuxian Jian's scheme was indeed deep and far-sighted, with two preparations. If the mysterious Shengtidn't work, then use Ye Chen, borrowing his demonization power to achieve a certain purpose.

Speaking of Ye Chen, he had completely demonized.

Gazing into that piece of heaven and earth, demonic energy rolled, obscuring yin and yang and hiding the universe. Amid lightning and thunder, Ye Chen's demonic body was very striking, his pair of demonic eyes performing scenes of destruction.

This time his demonization was truly terrifying, with multiple powers fused: one from Motian Dadi's curse, one from the mysterious Shengtide's curse, and one from Lutian's undying thought force.

Besides that, there was the power of Zhuxian Jian.

Zhuxian Jian hummed, its seven-colored immortal light flourishing, as if laughing wildly without restraint.

For how many years, it had controlled Chu Xuan, Mu Liuqing, Hong Yan, Jiu Tian Xuan Nu, and many, many others. This was the first time it possessed Ye Chen's holy body, controlling his former enemy as a puppet. This feeling was extremely wonderful for it.

In the distance, Tianxu Dizi and Ji Ningshuang had already stood up, looking at this side with pale expressions. The demonized Ye Chen was too powerful, even stronger than the previous mysterious Shengtide.

As they watched, Ye Chen lowered his eyes, overlooking them, with a slightly upturned corner of his mouth and a playful expression, licking his scarlet tongue, his pair of blood eyes full of tyranny and bloodlust.

"Restrain him."

Ji Ningshuang lightly scolded and ascended to the sky.

At the same time, Tianxu Dizi stepped into the air, his palm covering the sky, striking out a golden immortal domain. Although he didn't know what Dong Shen was going to do, he knew he had to cooperate well.

Ye Chen sinisterly laughed, flipped his hand and struck, collapsing the golden immortal domain, and even Tianxu Dizi was shaken flying, suffering from the terrible aftermath, his divine body cracking, fresh blood flowing.

In this instant, Ji Ningshuang killed her way over. Before Ye Chen could attack, she instantly disappeared.

She used the Meng Dao immortal law, entering Ye Chen's dream, intending to use this method to dispel Ye Chen's demonic nature. In the past, when Ye Chen had demonic obstacles, it was with this method that he helped Ye Chen escape from the demonic obstacles.

Because of her like a dream, Ye Chen fell into a muddled state.

Tianxu Dizi saw this and was horrified in his heart, horrified at Dong Shen's divine ability, which could enter dreams at will, and with her true body. This kind of ghostly immortal law was truly heaven-defying.

With Ye Chen muddled and Dong Shen disappeared, he didn't idle. Dragging his blood-drenched body, he came over, seals manifesting in his palm, array patterns dense, one seal after another engraved on Ye Chen's body.

Here, Ji Ningshuang had already fixed herself in Ye Chen's dream.

Ye Chen's dream was a terrible scene. One could see the vast sky with lightning and thunder, the earth with lava crisscrossing, rolling demonic energy rampaging wildly, and there were three huge ghost faces, vaguely appearing in the haze, twisted and ugly. One was Motian Dadi, one was the mysterious Shengtide, and one was Lutian Dizi, all laughing ferociously, their eyes also scarlet and terrifying.

"Ye Chen."

Ji Ningshuang called out, wanting to find Ye Chen's true body.

She didn't call out Ye Chen, but provoked the three ghost faces, which manifested from the void in three directions, each opening their mouths, with vortices appearing in their mouths, wanting to swallow her as well.

Ji Ningshuang frowned slightly, sacrificed the three volumes of the Wuzi Tian Shu, suspending them in the vast void, with pages flipping, dao essence manifesting, truly majestic, each blocking one ghost face.

And she, headed straight to the depths to find Ye Chen.

Facing her, there was rolling demonic energy gathering into a vast ocean, and one could see demons crawling out from within, baring fangs and brandishing claws, with ferocious faces, wanting to devour her.

She didn't speak, holding a dao sword in her hand, attacking and killing all the way.

In the outside world, Tianxu Dizi was diligently engraving seals, using all the forbidden techniques he had learned in his life. Even if Ji Ningshuang couldn't awaken Ye Chen, there were still seals to imprison him.

This trip to the Zangshen Guguid was full of surprises, with ups and downs coming too fast, making him caught off guard. The mission assigned by the Five Great Heavenly Kings was indeed no joke.

Suddenly, Ye Chen's holy body trembled.

Then, Ji Ningshuang was sent flying out of Ye Chen's dream, with a sinister blood gully on her body, injured by Zhuxian Jian. The wound was dyed with seven-colored dim light, extinguishing her essence, making the wound not only not heal, but also expand outward.

She failed. She found Ye Chen's true body, but was ambushed by Zhuxian Jian. That seven-colored immortal sword was truly heaven-piercing, able to enter people's dreams as well.

Pfft!

Then it was Tianxu Dizi. The over ten thousand seals he engraved became decorations, all instantly broken by Ye Chen, and another annihilating halo knocked him flying out.

"Go."

Tianxu Dizi suddenly shouted, without thinking, pulled Ji Ningshuang and fled.

The current Ye Chen was stronger than the mysterious Shengtid in blood succession limit, and with Zhuxian Jian's assistance, his combat power was unparalleled. With just the two of them, they couldn't seal him.

What they had to do was to escape from the ancient ground and seek help from the strong. If they delayed any longer, not only them, but all the cultivators in the ancient ground would be wiped out.

Ji Ningshuang wiped the fresh blood from the corner of her mouth, her breath extremely weak.

Entering the dream was mysterious, but also extremely dangerous. One wrong move and she could get lost in the dream. Although she came out this time, she suffered from Meng Dao backlash. That kind of power was formless and invisible, extremely terrifying, violating taboos, and the backlash was also taboo power.

"Can you two escape?"

Ye Chen's mouth curled up slightly, sweeping with overwhelming demonic energy, chasing and killing. The aura flowing from his entire body was too heavy, and wherever he stepped, mountains were ground into flying ash.
