Chapter 12814 Entering the Demonic Realm
Seeing his shocked expression, Xi Huang sighed softly and continued, "Now, the second-generation Yin God has taken shape, but its aura is extremely violent, and even the Chaos Pill Emperor cannot fully control it. This second-generation Yin God sometimes obeys his commands, but sometimes it goes berserk and becomes uncontrollable."
"The Chaos Pill Emperor knew that this was not a solution, but his own power was no longer sufficient to completely control the Yin God."
Xi Huang's tone carried a hint of helplessness: "So, he captured the Xin Dan clan chief. Xin Dan's body contains the laws of dawn, which are faintly in line with the Mao Shi Dao that the Chaos Pill Emperor once ruled. As long as he can devour and refine Xin Dan and absorb the laws of dawn within her, he will have enough power to completely control the second generation of Yin Gods."
"No!" Ye Chen suddenly snapped back to reality. "Xin Dan is my friend. I can't watch you devour her!"
Seeing this, Emperor Xi sighed, "Lord of Reincarnation, give up now! Going to save Xin Dan is tantamount to courting death!"
"The Chaos Pill Emperor's strength is already unfathomable. Add to that the power of the Great Pill Ruins and the second-generation Yin God who is not yet fully under his control, and you will surely die once you step into his territory."
He paused, his tone growing increasingly serious:
"Moreover, if you rescue Xindan and cause the Chaos Pill Emperor's plan to fail, the second generation Yin God will definitely go berserk."
“At that time, the power of the abyss in the Tianhuang Origin Sea will be completely out of control. Not only will the entire Tianhuang Origin Sea be destroyed, but it may even awaken the sleeping Taichu ahead of time. The consequences will be unimaginable! I cannot let you do whatever you want.”
"I've said all this in the hope that you'll give up and stop interfering in this matter."
Xi Huang looked at Ye Chen with earnest eyes: "Once the Chaos Pill Emperor takes control of the second generation of Yin Gods, the Yin and Yang energies of the Heavenly Emperor Origin Sea will be in balance. This place will not collapse, nor will it awaken the Primordial Beginning prematurely."
"Lord of Reincarnation, if you wish to possess the power to slay the Primordial One, you still need time to grow and undergo more trials. Once the Primordial One awakens now, with your current strength, you will surely die. At that time, no one in the world will be able to stop the Primordial One, and all things will be bleached by the blazing light and returned to nothingness."
Ye Chen fell silent. Xi Huang's words were all reasonable. He was not unaware of the consequences, but he could not stand by and watch Xin Dan be devoured and refined, nor could he betray the kindness of Xin Dan who had risked her life to save him.
After a moment of silence, Ye Chen slowly raised his head, the struggle in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by a firm resolve.
He looked at Emperor Xi, his tone calm yet resolute: "Emperor Xi, thank you for your information and advice."
“I understand all the big principles, but I still want to save people.”
Ye Chen only sought to have a clear conscience, and even if rescuing Xin Dan brought about a great disaster, he was willing to do it.
If he doesn't save him, his conscience won't allow it.
Moreover, the weight of such a momentous cause as the survival of the world should not fall solely on Xindan's shoulders.
Upon seeing this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Xi Huang's cloudy eyes, which was then replaced by resolute determination.
He knew Ye Chen's nature all too well; once he made up his mind, he would never turn back, even if it meant facing mountains of knives and seas of fire.
But this matter concerns the survival of the Heavenly Emperor Origin Sea and whether the Primordial Beginning will awaken prematurely; he absolutely cannot allow Ye Chen to act recklessly.
"I apologize, Lord of Reincarnation."
"Since you won't listen to my advice, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Today, I will keep you here until the Chaos Pill Emperor finishes refining it in ten days, then I will let you go, so that you can completely give up any thoughts you may have!"
A chill ran through Xi Huang's eyes as he raised his hand to form a hand seal and silently chanted an ancient incantation.
In an instant, golden light surged above the hall, and countless golden runes converged, transforming into a giant golden cage.
Above the cage, the phantom of a three-legged golden crow hovered, emitting a mournful cry, its body surrounded by the blazing power of the sun that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas.
This is Emperor Xi's magic weapon, the Golden Crow Cage, which is specially used to suppress those who are powerful but stubborn. Once imprisoned, even a Heavenly Dao Realm expert will find it difficult to break free unless the controller releases them voluntarily.
The Golden Crow Cage crashed down, instantly enveloping Ye Chen.
The blazing aura of the sun above the cage erupted instantly, transforming into golden chains of light that coiled around Ye Chen's body, suppressing the power within him. Whether it was the Yang energy, the power of the Man Su, or the abyssal aura, all were firmly imprisoned and unable to circulate even slightly.
"Emperor Xi! Let me go!"
A hint of anxiety flashed in Ye Chen's eyes as he struggled fiercely, his aura surging wildly as he tried to break free from the chains of light.
However, the Golden Crow Cage was a magic weapon of the Xi Emperor, and it also took advantage of the terrain of the Xi Guang Divine Domain. The pressure of the Xi Emperor's lineage permeated the cage, and Ye Chen's struggle was like an ant trying to shake a tree. Not only could he not break free, but he was also squeezed deeper by the light chains, and his skin was burned by the power of the blazing sun, causing waves of pain.
"Calm down, Lord of Reincarnation."
Looking at Ye Chen struggling in the cage, the Emperor Xi's tone softened a bit, "Ten days, just ten days, and I will let you go. By then, everything will be settled, and you will naturally understand that what I did today was for your own good."
"Ten days?" Ye Chen's eyes were bloodshot. "Xin Dan will be dead in ten days!"
Xi Huang closed her eyes, no longer looking at Ye Chen, her tone icy: "My mind is made up, you don't need to say anything more. Just reflect on your actions here, don't make any more futile struggles, lest you suffer for it."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and a contingent of the Heavenly Emperor's Imperial Guards entered from outside the hall and stood guard beside the Golden Crow Prison. He then turned and left with Danxi.
When Danxi saw Ye Chen in the cage, her eyes were filled with worry and bitterness, but due to the suppression of the Xihuang lineage, she dared not say anything.
As Ye Chen watched Xi Huang's departing figure, his heart was filled with a mixture of anxiety and anger. He once again exerted all his strength to try to summon the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Sword, but the sword intent and sharpness were suppressed, and he was unable to break through the Golden Crow Prison.
Ye Chen gritted his teeth, constantly thinking about how to break free of the cage, but no matter how he deduced it, he couldn't find a clue.
The Golden Crow Cage's defenses were too formidable, and coupled with the suppression of the Emperor Xi's lineage, his current strength was simply insufficient to contend with it.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.
During these three days, Ye Chen never stopped struggling. He tried to activate the Yang Chapter energy purification light chain, tried to use the power of Man Su to distort the cage, and tried to detonate the abyssal aura in his body to forcibly break the cage, but all attempts ended in failure.
It's not that he doesn't possess enough power, but rather that all that power is suppressed by the Daoist lineage of Emperor Xi, and he can't unleash even a fraction of his full potential.
He could only protect himself, ensuring that his body was not burned to ashes by the aura of the Golden Crow Cage.
There are only seven days left until Xindan's death.
Ye Chen leaned against the inner wall of the cage, panting heavily, his anxiety growing stronger.
He knew that time was running out. If he continued to be trapped like this, Xin Dan would surely be devoured by the Chaos Pill Emperor. By then, even if he managed to break free of the cage, it would be too late.
He looked around. The Xiguang Palace was still bathed in golden light, and the Tianhuang Imperial Guards stood by expressionlessly, their eyes cold and unmoved.
The entire hall was silent except for his heavy breathing and the sizzling sound of the blazing sun power burning on the Golden Crow Cage.
"It seems we have no choice but to try that method."
A hint of madness flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. He knew that there was only one path left to take: to consume the remaining half of the Yang-Yin Reversal Demon Pill.
Previously, the Celestial Ancestor Qiong Cang had given him one of the Yin-Yang Reversal Demon Pills, which he had carefully kept and would never take lightly unless absolutely necessary.
He knew that the price of this pill was extremely high. After taking it, he would enter a demonic state, and while his strength would increase dramatically, it would also deplete his body's potential and he might even fall into the demonic path, never to turn back.
He now has half a magic core left.
Ye Chen slowly raised his hand and took out half of the Yin-Yang Reversal Demon Pill from his pocket.
The pill was pitch black, shrouded in dense demonic energy, and faintly contained a vast and violent power. Just by getting close, he felt a strong desire and dark aura trying to erode his mind.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the agitation in his heart, and without the slightest hesitation, put the half of the Yin-Yang Reversal Demon Pill into his mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a surge of violent demonic energy rushed into his body like a wild horse, rampaging through his meridians and washing over his limbs and bones.
"what--!"
Ye Chen let out a shrill roar, his whole body trembling violently. The Yang energy and abyssal aura within his body were forcibly drawn together by the demonic energy, forming an even more violent force.
His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, his pupils filled with blood vessels, and his aura began to surge wildly. His previously somewhat weak aura instantly became powerful and terrifying, and a world-destroying demonic power erupted from his body, sweeping across the entire Dawn Palace.
His entire demeanor changed completely, transforming him into a ruthless demon who exuded ferocity and treated human life as worthless.
After being possessed by the demon, Ye Chen's rationality was consumed by desire and anger, leaving only the obsession to save people and hatred for everything that stood in his way.
He looked down at the golden chains of light swirling around him, a fierce glint in his eyes. He let out a furious roar, and the demonic flames around him surged instantly, transforming into streaks of black flame blades that slashed fiercely at the chains of light.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The black flame blades collided with the golden chains of light, producing a deafening roar. A violent energy erupted, causing the entire Xiguang Palace to tremble violently. Large sections of the glazed floor collapsed, and shards of stone and tiles flew everywhere.
The blazing power of the sun on the Golden Crow Cage began to dim gradually under the scorching of the demonic flames, and the chains of light were shattered by Ye Chen's demonic energy.
"what?!"
The Heavenly Emperor Imperial Guards standing guard on the sidelines changed their expressions drastically, their eyes filled with disbelief. They never expected that Ye Chen could unleash such terrifying power and shake the Golden Crow Prison.
They immediately swung their swords forward, unleashing streaks of radiant sword energy towards Ye Chen in an attempt to suppress his demonic flames.
However, after Ye Chen became a demon, his strength had already increased several times over. Those radiant sword energies that landed on his demonic flames were instantly devoured by the demonic flames and turned into nothingness.
Ye Chen raised his hand and waved, sending a huge black demonic flame palm print towards the Heavenly Emperor Guard. Wherever the palm print passed, the void was corroded, distorted, and collapsed.
Screams rang out as several Heavenly Emperor Guards were struck by the Demon Flame Palm Print before they could dodge, instantly turning into ashes without leaving a trace.
The rest of the Heavenly Emperor Imperial Guards were terrified at the sight and dared not approach. They could only stand far away, looking at Ye Chen in the cage with fear in their eyes.
Ye Chen ignored the Imperial Guards and slapped his palm against the Golden Crow Cage.

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the Golden Crow Cage shattered completely on the spot.
"It's broken?!"
The Heavenly Emperor's Imperial Guards in the distance were pale-faced, trembling, and filled with disbelief.
The Golden Crow Cage was a magical artifact of the Emperor Xi, passed down for countless years, and no one had ever been able to break through it by force. But now, it was smashed to pieces by Ye Chen, who had fallen into demonic possession!
Just then, an aged and shocked voice came from the depths of the Dawn God Realm: "Impossible! How could you possibly break through the Golden Crow Prison?!"
A golden light pierced the sky, and the figure of the Emperor Xi reappeared. He looked at Ye Chen, who was radiating demonic power outside the cage, with surprise in his eyes.
"Suppress them!"
Emperor Xi shouted angrily, raised his hand and waved it, sending a huge golden palm towards Ye Chen. The palm contained a vast amount of blazing sun power, attempting to suppress Ye Chen again.
Ye Chen raised his head, his crimson eyes looking at Xi Huang with fierceness and disdain. He raised his hand and waved, sending a black demonic flame blade slashing towards the golden palm.
The demonic flames collided with the power of the blazing sun, creating a deafening roar and a violent burst of energy. The Xi Emperor was forced back by the recoil, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Emperor Xi was shocked. He discovered that Ye Chen, after being possessed by a demon, was incredibly powerful, and even he could not easily suppress him.
"Lord of Reincarnation, wake up! You have fallen into demonic possession!" Emperor Xi looked at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with anxiety. "If this continues, you will be completely succumbed to the demonic path and there will be no turning back!"
"Get out of the way!" Ye Chen ignored Xi Huang's shouts; his mind was only focused on saving people.
He unleashed a palm strike, forcing the Emperor of Dawn back, and then transformed into a black streak of light, flying out of the main hall at incredible speed. In an instant, he burst out of the Dawn Palace and flew towards the outside of the Dawn Divine Realm.
"Stop him! You must stop him!" Emperor Xi shouted, giving orders to the Heavenly Emperor Guards, and then he himself flashed away, chasing after Ye Chen.
However, Ye Chen's speed was too fast, and coupled with the immense power of his demonic flames, the Heavenly Emperor Guards along the way were unable to stop him at all. They could only watch helplessly as he rushed out of the Dawn God Domain and disappeared into the Heavenly Emperor Origin Sea.
Xi Huang chased Ye Chen to the edge of the Divine Realm, and looked at Ye Chen's departing figure with a sense of bewilderment and astonishment.
At this moment, Ye Chen had already rushed out of the Dawn God Domain and, without stopping at all, flew towards the direction of the Great Pill Ruins.
After becoming possessed by a demon, he became ruthless, and his demonic power spread wildly. Wherever he passed, the seawater of the Tianhuang Origin Sea was dyed black. The creatures in the sea sensed his fierce aura and scattered in all directions, not daring to approach.
