Reborn Shang Zhou, angry at the sage Nuwa at the beginning

Chapter 2272

Damn it!

The black-robed leader roared and seized the opportunity to strike Ye Chengyu on the back with a palm. Ye Chengyu spat out a mouthful of blood, but then swung his sword and severed one of the leader's arms.

"withdraw!"

Knowing they could not win, the leader led the remaining black-robed cultivators into a streak of gray light and disappeared into the depths of the misty forest.

With the crisis averted, Ye Chengyu and Qingxuan helped each other sit down to heal their injuries.

“Brother Ye, the power of the Chaos Cult is far greater than we imagined. They can manipulate the power of chaos and even cultivate leaders at the Great Emperor level.”

Qingxuan said with a solemn expression.

Ye Chengyu nodded: "The Chaos Erosion incident has also occurred in Black Wind City. It seems that the cult has established strongholds in various parts of the Three Realms. Their goal must be to find the sealed place of the Lord of Chaos and release him."

He took out the communication jade talisman and reported the situation to the Holy Temple of Humanity.

Shortly after,
A message arrived from Di Xin and Ye Qingyu: "Go to Mount Ling immediately and meet up with Xuan Chen. The three of you will form the Chaos Slayer Team to thoroughly investigate the strongholds of the Chaos Cult and find their lair."

"The Buddha has already calculated that the core stronghold of the cult is hidden in the dark canyon of Jambudvipa, where the remnants of the primordial chaos are most concentrated."

The two dared not delay and immediately set off for Lingshan.

Upon arriving at Mount Ling, Xuan Chen was already waiting outside the mountain gate. He saw Ye Chengyu and Qing Xuan and stepped forward to greet them, saying, "Brother Ye, Fellow Daoist Qing Xuan, we have joined forces to slay Chaos this time. Please give us your guidance."

"Master Xuanchen, you are too kind. The safety of the Three Realms is our inescapable responsibility," Ye Chengyu replied.

After a short rest, the three set off for the Dark Canyon in Jambudvipa.

The Dark Canyon is located in the far south of the Southern Continent. The canyon is flanked by steep cliffs, where the sun never shines. The bottom of the canyon is filled with a thick, chaotic mist, making it impossible for ordinary cultivators to approach.

"The chaotic mist in this canyon can erode a cultivator's essence, so we must proceed with caution."

Xuan Chen took out three Buddhist prayer beads and handed them to Ye Chengyu and Qing Xuan: "These are Bodhi prayer beads, which can resist the erosion of chaos."

The three put on Bodhi prayer beads and carefully slid into the canyon.

The valley floor was dark and damp, and the ground was covered with gray moss, a variant that remained after the Shadow Moss was purified years ago, emitting a faint aura of chaos.

After traveling several miles,
Suddenly, a huge cave appeared ahead. Two black-robed cultivators at the Great Emperor realm guarded the entrance, their chaotic aura even stronger than that of the leader of the Misty Forest.

"It seems this is the core stronghold of the cult."

Ye Chengyu said in a low voice, "We will split into three groups. I will draw their attention from the front, Master Xuanchen will flank from the left, and Fellow Daoist Qingxuan will launch a surprise attack from the right. Let's finish this quickly!"

The two nodded in agreement and quietly made their way.

Ye Chengyu took a deep breath, leaped out, and slashed his Flowing Light Sword at the guard on the left: "Chaos Cult, prepare to die!"

Caught off guard, the guard was struck by the sword light, and his body was instantly torn apart by the power of spacetime.

Upon seeing this, the guard on the right roared and pounced on Ye Chengyu.

Just at this time,

Xuan Chen, wielding a gilded staff, attacked from the left, unleashing a rain of Buddhist seals. Qing Xuan, meanwhile, activated his Tai Chi whisk, his black and white energies binding the guard's limbs. The three joined forces...

He killed the two guards in a short time.

Upon entering the cave, the sight before them astonished the three.

Deep within the cave was a vast underground palace, within which stood nine colossal pillars of chaos, each entwined with dense primordial chaos energy.
In the center of the pillar,

It was a huge teleportation array, with gray chaotic power flowing through it. At the core of the array, a chaotic crystal the size of a fist could be vaguely seen.

Inside the underground palace,

Hundreds of black-robed cultivators were meditating cross-legged, absorbing the power of the Chaos Pillar. Leading them was an elderly man in a blood-red robe.
His cultivation had actually reached the late stage of the Great Emperor realm, and the chaotic aura around his body was almost solidified. He was the leader of the Chaos Cult.

"I didn't expect you to be able to find this place. You're quite capable."

The Blood-Robed Cult Leader slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the three men with a cruel smile: "However, you will all perish here today, becoming sacrifices for me to open the Chaos Seal!"

He raised his hand and waved.
The nine pillars of chaos simultaneously emitted gray light, and countless chaotic forces condensed into chains that wrapped around the three of them.

"Be careful! These chains can erode your very essence!"

Ye Chengyu reminded them, and the three of them simultaneously activated their power. The Flowing Light Sword, the Gilded Tin Staff, and the Tai Chi Whisk intertwined to form a defensive light barrier, blocking the Chaos Chains.

"With this little power, you think you can withstand the power of chaos?"

The Blood-Robed Cult Leader sneered, leaped into the air, and struck the three of them with a palm. The chaotic power contained in the palm print caused the surrounding space to collapse continuously.

Ye Chengyu, Xuan Chen, and Qing Xuan exchanged a glance and simultaneously activated the power of their own origins.

The power of time and space, the power of Buddhist purification, and the profound energy of Taoism merged together to form a pillar of light interwoven with gold, silver, and black, which collided with the palm print of the Blood Robe Cult Leader.

With a loud "boom," the underground palace trembled violently, and the three of them were forced to retreat, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths. The light of the Bodhi prayer beads also dimmed considerably.

The Blood-Robed Cult Leader was also badly affected, forced back several steps by the pillar of light, his face turning slightly pale.
"I never imagined the three of you working together would be so powerful. However, it's time to end this game!"

He walked to the center of the teleportation array and placed his hands on the Chaos Crystal: "Chaos Seal, with blood as the guide, the origin resonates, open!"

As his words fell, the Blood-Robed Cult Leader's body began to burn, transforming into wisps of chaotic origin that merged into the chaotic crystal.

The teleportation array burst forth with a blinding gray light, and the chaotic power on the nine chaotic pillars surged wildly into the teleportation array. Cracks began to appear on the top of the underground palace, and a dense chaotic aura spewed out from the cracks.

"Oh no! He's going to use himself as a sacrifice to forcibly open the passage to the Chaos Seal!" Xuan Chen's expression changed drastically.

A resolute glint flashed in Ye Chengyu's eyes: "We must stop him, otherwise once the Lord of Chaos breaks free, the Three Realms will be doomed!"

He activated all the spacetime power within his body, and the Flowing Light Sword transformed into a silver rainbow that pierced through the heavens and earth, stabbing towards the core of the teleportation array.

Xuan Chen and Qing Xuan simultaneously unleashed their full power, the Buddhist seal on the gilded staff and the black and white energies of the Tai Chi whisk intertwined to form a massive purifying light screen that pressed down on the teleportation array.

"Too late! The Lord of Chaos is about to return, and you will all become his nourishment!"

The Blood-Robed Cult Leader's voice came from the Chaos Crystal, filled with a maniacal laugh.

The light from the teleportation array grew brighter and brighter, and a huge gray rift slowly unfolded at the array's core. Within the rift, the sealed figure of the Lord of Chaos could be vaguely seen.
