System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

146: Desperate Song, Chaotic Ancestral SymbolPeak Ninth Level of Disha Realm!

The majestic pressure emanating from the Sinister Deacon’s body was like a physical mountain, pressing heavily on Ye Chen’s shoulders. It caused his already severely injured body to sway slightly, and the swamp mud beneath his feet sank several inches. The formation composed of the six Middle Stage Earth Fiend Realm experts behind him locked the space in this area tight. Their auras intertwined, cutting off all possibility of evasion.

A true situation of certain death!

Ye Chen took a deep breath. Sucking the damp, sickly sweet air laden with poisonous miasma into his lungs instead stirred the unyielding arrogance in his bones. He slowly straightened his spine, like a green pine refusing to bend in the wind and snow. The guixu sword in his hand seemed to sense its master’s Battle Intent, letting out a low and excited hum. A gray light of Chaos flowed along the blade; though not dazzling, it carried a sense of ancient, immovable gravity.

“End my own life?” A cold and mocking arc curved at the corner of Ye Chen’s mouth. His gaze was like two unsheathed sharp swords, piercing straight at the Sinister Deacon. “A lackey of the Dark Hall is worthy of making me, Ye Chen, commit suicide?”

His voice was not high, yet it carried a decisive finality that echoed over the deathly silent swamp.

A cold light flashed in the Sinister Deacon’s eyes as his killing intent surged: “Stubborn fool! Then I’ll let you taste the flavor of Soul extraction and refinement! Form the ’Seven Fiends Soul-Locking Array’!”

At his command, the six Earth Fiend Realm experts behind him moved simultaneously. Their figures flickered like ghosts as streaks of sinister demonic energy surged from their bodies, transforming into six pitch-black chains wreathed in shrill ghostly wails. As if alive, they coiled toward Ye Chen from all directions! Before the chains even arrived, the tearing and binding force targeting the Divine Soul had already descended, causing a stabbing pain in Ye Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, as if his Soul were about to be ripped out of his body!

At the same time, the Sinister Deacon made his move! He did not use a weapon, but simply struck out with a palm from a distance. A massive black palm print that blotted out the sky condensed. Within the palm print, it seemed as if countless resentful Souls were wailing and struggling, emitting a darkness and silence that swallowed all light—Yellow Springs Palm! Wherever the palm wind passed, the black water of the swamp evaporated instantly, revealing the cracked lake bed. Even the air made a sizzling sound as it was corroded!

Facing this ultimate killing move attacking from above and below, striking both the Divine Soul and the Physical Body, not only was there no fear in Ye Chen’s eyes, but a nearly insane flame began to burn!

“If you want my life, then use your lives to pay for it!”

He let out a long cry. The remaining Chaos Gang Qi in his body, less than thirty percent, circulated frantically at an unprecedented speed. He did not even hesitate to burn a portion of his life essence blood! The guixu sword erupted with an unprecedented light. That hazy gray color of Chaos suddenly became deep, as if it were about to evolve into earth, water, fire, and wind to re-establish the Universe!

He no longer cared about the Seven Fiends chains coiling toward his Divine Soul, pouring all his mind and all his strength into this single sword strike! His target was aimed directly at the strongest Yellow Springs Palm print!

“Chaos Heaven-Opening — Evil Ward!”

This was a sword strike he delivered in his moment of desperation, after forcibly fusing the charm of Chaos, the annihilation of Guixu, and even that faint trace of ’Judgment’ intent, pushing them to the limit. The sword light was no longer gray, but transformed into a primal light that seemed capable of tearing through eternal darkness. Carrying the supreme will of opening the heavens and earth and purging demons and evil, it resolutely met the sky-blotting Yellow Springs Palm print!

“BOOM—!!!”

The moment the sword light collided with the palm print, it was as if the world had lost its voice! Immediately after, a destructive shockwave of energy spread out frantically like a tsunami! The six Seven Fiends Soul-Locking Chains coiling inward actually snapped inch by inch like fragile hemp ropes under this violent energy impact! The six Earth Fiend Realm experts in the formation all spat blood and were sent flying backward; the array was instantly broken!

At the core of the clash, the Chaos sword light resolutely split the massive Yellow Springs Palm print right down the middle! However, the terrifying power contained within the palm print also recoiled. Ye Chen felt as if he had been struck by lightning; every bone in his body groaned under the unbearable burden. Blood sprayed from his mouth and nose as if it were worthless, and his body was thrown back like a tattered sack, crashing heavily into the turbid swamp behind him and splashing mud everywhere.

“Ugh...” The Sinister Deacon also let out a muffled groan, his figure swaying slightly. He looked toward where Ye Chen had fallen, his eyes filled with unbelievable shock. This palm of his was enough to heavily injure or even kill an ordinary Ninth Layer Earth Fiend Realm expert. How could a heavily injured, dying Earth Fiend Realm Third Layer opponent possibly block it? He had even broken the palm’s momentum, and the recoil force had caused the deacon’s own blood and Qi to churn?

“This boy... must not be allowed to live!” After the shock came an even more blazing killing intent. With a movement of his body, he intended to rush into the swamp to finish Ye Chen off for good.

However, at the very moment Ye Chen’s consciousness was about to be swallowed by darkness and his body was sinking into the cold swamp, a sudden change occurred!

Deep within his Qi Sea, the chaos primordial fetus that had been floating quietly and rotating slowly suddenly trembled violently, as if stimulated by some extreme crisis! On the surface of the fetus, those ancient patterns that were originally blurred and difficult to discern suddenly lit up with a faint but incomparably pure light!

At the same time, Ye Chen felt the mysterious object he had always kept on his person—the one he had never been able to refine or even trigger—suddenly become scalding hot! It was a token obtained from the Meteorite Mountain Range Secret Realm, made of a material that was neither metal nor jade, covered in strange runes that shared the same Origin as the patterns on the chaos primordial fetus but were far more complex, ancient, and complete.

No, it wasn’t that the token was heating up, but rather that the chaos primordial fetus in his Qi Sea was producing a resonance with this token across space!

“This is... the chaos ancestral talisman?!”

A realization flashed like lightning through Ye Chen’s nearly chaotic Sea of Consciousness. This token, which he had always treated as an important item without knowing its specific use, was actually the legendary talisman that contained the Great Dao rules of Chaos Origin—the Ancestral Talisman!

Now, at the juncture of life and death, at the moment he pushed his Chaos power to his own limit and triggered the Origin power of the chaos primordial fetus, this chaos ancestral talisman that had been dormant for untold years was finally preliminarily activated!

“Buzz—!”

A pure, ancient, and vast breath of Chaos Origin, seemingly originating from before the world was opened, surged out from the chaos ancestral talisman. Ignoring the obstruction of his Physical Body, it injected directly into the chaos primordial fetus in his Qi Sea!

The primordial fetus, which had dimmed and shriveled due to overexertion, was like parched earth receiving sweet rain. It instantly expanded and solidified, and the patterns on its surface became clearer! Even more majestic and pure Chaos Gang Qi surged out, instantly circulating through his limbs and bones!

The stubborn and rampaging ’Death Soul Finger’ power within his body, in the face of this pure Chaos Origin breath, was like snow meeting a blazing sun—it rapidly melted and disintegrated! The ’Blood Soul Lure’ mark that had penetrated deep into his bloodline Origin was also forcibly washed away and erased by this power!

The injuries on his body were being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye. Broken bones reconnected, and damaged Meridians were widened and reinforced! It was not just recovery, but a transformation that surpassed anything before!

His cultivation Bottleneck shattered with a bang at this moment, leaping directly from the Earth Fiend Realm Third Layer to the Earth Fiend Realm Fourth Level! Furthermore, his aura continued to climb, only slowly coming to a halt once it reached the Fourth Level Peak!

All of this seemed slow but actually happened in the blink of an eye between Ye Chen falling into the swamp and the Sinister Deacon’s impending pounce!

“Boom!”

The swamp exploded, mud splashing everywhere! A figure soared into the sky, surrounded by Chaos currents so thick they were almost physical, as if he had propped open an independent Chaos Domain! His black hair danced wildly and his robes fluttered. Although still stained with blood and mud, those eyes were as bright as stars and as deep as the Universe, radiating a majesty that looked down on the world and controlled everything!

It was precisely Ye Chen!

Feeling the surging power within him that far exceeded what he had before, as well as the mysterious connection established between the chaos ancestral talisman and the chaos primordial fetus, an unprecedented confidence welled up in his heart.

He looked calmly at the Sinister Deacon, who had come to an abrupt halt with a face full of horror and disbelief, and slowly raised the guixu sword in his hand. Atop the blade, Chaos currents swirled, and the phenomena of opening the heavens and evolving all things faintly emerged.

“Now, it’s my turn.”
