Ye Chen now felt like a drowning man who had grasped a life-saving straw; finally, he saw hope!

And Master Legs' voice also echoed in Ye Chen's mind.

"Kid, this time the situation is tough. Everything you saw just now wasn't an illusion; that old thing was reminiscing about the past. In other words, those projections exist because of that old thing's thoughts!"

Better not to hear Master Legs' explanation.

After hearing Master Legs' explanation, Ye Chen felt even more chills up his spine!

In his mind, recalling the past, those magnificent scenes projected... he couldn't fully imagine how powerful it was!

The ragged, oddly-expressioned elder said calmly, "Stealing the Dao to survive, but also trapped by the Dao. Retract your power, you're no match for me. If I hadn't twisted the Dao, you would now face the Dao's punishment."

Ye Chen: "...Elder Qingyi, is he telling the truth?"

"Don't worry about it." Luo Qingyi's voice was cold.

"Elder Qingyi, retract your power. He probably harbors no malice towards me. If he did, he would've already taken action!" Ye Chen said.

Though still quite afraid.

After all, this was a super terrifying old man.

But he had to gamble!

Having Luo Qingyi fight, and Luo Qingyi being gone... that wasn't the result Ye Chen wanted.

For him, Luo Qingyi was not just a guide on his cultivation path but more like a big sister!

Though this big sister was usually fierce.

Although Ye Chen had thought countless times of pressing this big sister to the ground and teaching her a lesson.

But no matter what, he didn't want Luo Qingyi to come to harm!

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Luo Qingyi's power still continued to surge outward from the Sword Tomb.

"I'm the Master of the Sword Tomb, I'm in charge!" Ye Chen shouted, then with a thought, forcibly sealed the Sword Tomb.

That super terrifying, eerie old man looked Ye Chen up and down, the black and white in his eyes receded, returning to normal eyes, and said, "You... are pretty good, average talent, superior temperament."

Ye Chen: "..."

If it weren't for this old man's terrifying strength, he would've already retorted.

My talent is only average?

What a joke!

The old man continued, "Unsatisfied?"

Ye Chen: "You're right."

The old man continued, "Bloodline of the ancient primal clan, with genuine human roots, the Origin World has already been established but is merely a shell, possessing only sparse primordial energy."

Ye Chen: "..."

He felt like a shorn lamb, completely seen through!

This old thing was too terrifying... his greatest secrets were completely understood...

"The Saint Son Token, where did it come from?" the old man continued.

"What Saint Son Token?"

"In your hand."

Ye Chen picked up the Red Fire Treasure Mirror... this thing turned out to be the Saint Son Token?

"I was walking along and this thing fell from the sky, landing in my hand," Ye Chen said without blinking.

The old man snorted, "I dispatched the Saint Son Token to choose a master with two requirements: first, talent; second, appearance. You meet neither condition."

Ye Chen was furious!

Saying my talent is inadequate, I can tolerate!

Means he's also saying I don't look good? I've seen a bit of the world, and I've yet to find anyone better looking than myself!

But considering the old man's terrifying strength, he just held back!

"Elder, I accidentally stumbled into your territory and disturbed you. Please, elder, be merciful. I'll leave now," Ye Chen said.

The old man shook his head.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, saying, "Elder, is there something you need me to do?"

The old man said, "You've obtained the Saint Son Token and intruded into this place; it's destiny. You must stay and guard everything here."

Ye Chen: "Elder, my talent is insufficient..."

It's definitely impossible for him to stay; he has so many things to do!

The old man said, "Once your primordial energy fills the Origin World, your talent will match up."

Ye Chen once more gritted his teeth, suppressing his feelings, "Elder, I'm not good-looking!"

"Barely acceptable."

Saying that, the old man turned around and said, "Follow me."

Then, the old man stepped forward.

Ye Chen immediately followed.

It's not that he wants to follow, but his feet are completely out of control!

A moment later.

The old man arrives at an open area.

Ye Chen's eyes widen!

In the oasis of the Flame Desert, the beast that turned to ash after striking a massive stone projection... it wasn't actually reduced to ashes, but its corpse was moved here.

The old man sits down and skillfully dissects the beast's corpse.

Ye Chen shivers with fear, extremely tense!

After dissecting the beast, the old man takes a large piece of meat. His power transforms into an iron rod, skewering the beast's meat.

Then with a flick of his finger, a crimson flame shoots out, lands on the ground, and turns into a blaze.

The old man roasts the beast's meat over the fire!

Ye Chen's eyes bulge.

Red Flame Spirit Flame!

This place is not only a powerful sect's relic, but the Heaven and Earth Fire Seed Red Flame Spirit Flame indeed exists here!

However... the Red Flame Spirit Flame is in the hands of this terrifying old man.

The grand Heaven and Earth Fire Seed is actually being used for roasting meat!

Ye Chen's eyes flicker. The only way to deal with this unbeatable old man is to persuade him!

And it has to be done quickly!

He can feel that the power sealing the Sword Tomb is under attack. Clearly, Luo Qingyi still wants to come out and fight!

"Elder, what's the point of you guarding this place?" Ye Chen asks.

The old man suddenly looks startled, a confused expression in his eyes. After a long time, he says, "I promised everyone that our sect would exist forever."

Ye Chen says, "But it's gone, isn't it? You can only use memories to maintain this illusion."

As soon as he says this, the old man's aura suddenly becomes extremely violent, his eyes once again become one black and one white!

Ye Chen's heart races, quickly changing the subject: "Elder, what's the name of your sect?"

The black and white in the old man's eyes gradually fade, and he says, "My sect is called..."

He's trying hard to remember, a look of extreme pain on his face, but he just can't remember!

Ye Chen says again, "Elder, don't force yourself if you can't remember. Go out and take a walk, maybe you'll gradually remember."

"Go out..." the old man mutters to himself, "Heavenly Dao is ruthless, Heavenly Dao is omnipresent. I won't go out..."

Ye Chen: "Elder, you just managed to defy the Heavenly Dao, so there's nothing to fear!"

At this moment, an audacious idea pops into Ye Chen's mind.

This old man's mind is clearly not functioning well... if he can trick him into following him outside, then everything would be much easier to handle!

Compared to the Battling Monk who secretly protects him, this would be much more powerful!

"Scared?" The old man gets angry, his disheveled hair stands on end, he stands up and says, "That damn Heavenly Dao, why should I be scared! I just don't want any more contact with this Heavenly Dao!"

Ye Chen continues to gently encourage, "Elder, but you also said that the Heavenly Dao is omnipresent. If you don't want to contact the Heavenly Dao, then find a way to shatter it."

"Shatter the Heavenly Dao..." The old man begins to repeatedly mutter these words, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

Ye Chen is overjoyed inside, it seems his plan is about to succeed.

Then, the old man shouts, "That's right, the Heavenly Dao is ruthless, what's the point of keeping it? Shatter it, let the cycle of reincarnation reappear, and all the past will return!"

As his words fall.

Boundless and terrifying power surges out of the old man's body.

Immediately after, the old man's form rockets upward, with a loud explosion, this space is pierced with a massive hole!

Through this hole, Ye Chen sees the sky of the normal world, and a trace of an excited smile appears on his lips, it looks like he's succeeded.

But the smile on Ye Chen's face instantly freezes.

Because, that old man charges straight into the sky, the sky shatters, countless terrifying forces descend, crashing toward the old man.

Then, Ye Chen can see nothing more.

But he can feel that world-ending aura, as if countless rules are shattering, countless orders are disrupted...

Ye Chen's mouth twitches.

This old man... is he really taking on the Heavenly Dao?!

Hopefully, he doesn't get killed by the Heavenly Dao!

At this point, Ye Chen quickly unlocks the Sword Tomb's seal, and as soon as it's lifted, he transmits a message inside: "Elder Qingyi, don't be impulsive, it's already settled!"

Inside the Sword Tomb, the violent power disappears, and then Luo Qingyi's incredulous voice sounds: "What on earth is happening, why is the Heavenly Dao so chaotic, all the order and rules are being annihilated!"

Ye Chen: "…I noticed he didn't seem to have any goals, so I told him he could fight the Heavenly Dao, and so he did..."

Inside the Sword Tomb.

Luo Qingyi is completely dumbfounded.

Master Legs' leg hairs stand on end, "Kid, if he's still not dead after this, then there's gonna be a lot of fun ahead; you've successfully set up a madman as an opponent for the Heavenly Dao!"
