Hell Emperor.

Chapter 594 Ye Jie - Shocking Change
"This...how is this possible?"

"The all-powerful Taiyin Star Lord was actually injured by that person?"

Looking at the scene before them, the many fairies felt a sense of absurdity from the bottom of their hearts.

In their eyes, the Taiyin Star Lord, whose cultivation was so profound that she could suppress the stars, was actually injured by an enemy whose cultivation was far inferior to hers.

The news is likely to cause a huge uproar. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed what was happening!
The wound on the shoulder of the Moon Goddess also conveyed an extraordinary signal: the person from afar truly had the power to harm her!

"Success!"

Xia Wei looked excited and couldn't help but clench her fists, cheering for her master in her heart. Even she hadn't expected that her master's strength was now on par with that of the Taiyin Star Lord.

Beside him, Yao Bai's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Ye Jie's face, his heart beating faster involuntarily.

"Is that Xia Wei's master? To be able to take the reincarnation of Xuan Nu as a disciple, that person must be a holy ruler whose fame resounds throughout the Three Realms..."

Yao Bai's dark eyes darted around, and a certain thought arose in her heart. She remembered that not long ago, under the witness of the Old Man of the Moon, she wrote her name and Xia Wei's master's name together on the marriage register.

As a magical document, the Mandarin Duck Register possesses a power rarely seen in the world: it can ensure that the lovers recorded on it will eventually become a couple.

Thinking of this, Yao Bai's gaze lingered on Ye Jie, unable to look away, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, as if he had come up with a good idea.

Where everyone's gazes met, Ye Jie held the copper coin sword, his expression stern:

"Not good... This mere injury is far from enough to seriously injure the Moon Goddess. Defeating her won't be so easy..."

As if to confirm Ye Jie's idea, Taiyin Xingjun slowly raised her hand, and a pure white light emerged from her palm. The light swept over the sword wound on her shoulder, and her skin became smooth and flawless. As the wound healed, even the bloodstains disappeared completely.

It's not that easy to defeat a sage who has been famous for thousands of years with just one or two moves!

After recovering from her injuries, Taiyin Xingjun's complexion returned to normal. Moreover, her aura became even more vast and incomparable. Ye Jie's attack had thoroughly enraged her!
Ye Jie took a deep breath. To defeat Taiyin Xingjun head-on, he would probably have to shatter the entire moon. Even a Saint Realm expert would probably find it difficult to do that.

Although Ye Jie possessed Saint Realm strength, his cultivation level was ultimately too low. Once he faced the Taiyin Star Lord, who had truly ascended to the Saint Realm, his weaknesses were exposed.

Even with the enlightenment gained from the Three Snake Soup, he unleashed his strongest move to date, but it still only left the Moon Goddess with some superficial wounds, which were quickly healed.

Perhaps in the eyes of the other fairies, Ye Jie had the upper hand at this moment, but only Ye Jie himself knew the true situation.

No matter what techniques Ye Jie used, he could only leave the Taiyin Star Lord with minor injuries at most, and the Taiyin Star Lord could recover from those injuries in an instant.

On the contrary, Ye Jie's Heavenly Armor was completely shattered in the collision just now, and it will take at least the time it takes to brew a cup of tea to re-condense it.

Without the protection of the Heavenly Armor, Ye Jie's immortal body was exposed. If he were to withstand such a fierce attack, his fate would likely be dire.

"In this case……"

Ye Jie's gaze hardened, and he quickly came up with an idea.

In the distance, the Tianditong Trading Company had arrived. The companions jumped down and used all their strength to drive back the nearby fairy maidens.

Ye Jie was not fighting alone; he had many companions by his side. Since he could not contend with the Taiyin Star Lord on his own, he had only one choice: to entrust this heavy responsibility to the person he trusted most.

Ye Jie's gaze sharpened, and his eyes fell on Xia Wei, who was bound by the restriction. Their eyes met in mid-air, and they both understood each other's meaning.

After many twists and turns, the two reunited in the Taiyin Land, far from the mortal world. Compared with their last parting, their auras and realms had undergone earth-shattering changes.

One of them possesses the Ghost Seal of the Underworld Emperor and enjoys boundless yin virtue, while the other has consumed the elixir of immortality and enjoys unlimited lifespan.

Despite standing at opposite ends of the spectrum, the intense emotions in their hearts remained unchanged. They met in humble beginnings, yet forged a strong bond that transcended life and death, allowing them to entrust their backs to each other even in the most critical moments.

Ye Jie's lips curled up. Since it seemed that he was struggling to deal with the Taiyin Star Lord, it looked like he had no choice but to entrust this important task to Xia Wei!
Golden light shone brightly on the copper coin sword, and immortal energy gathered on it far more intensely than before. But this time, Ye Jie's target was not the eternal Taiyin Star Lord in front of him, but the restriction that trapped Xia Wei.

"You dare!"

The Moon Goddess guessed Ye Jie's thoughts. Her moon-like eyes flashed with a thousand layers of cold light, the chill of which was enough to freeze all living beings. With a flick of her finger, moonlight burst forth from her fingertip, ready to pierce through Ye Jie's body.

Despite the potentially fatal flash of light, Ye Jie's sword technique continued unabated. He disregarded everything and was determined to help Xia Wei escape!

The sword technique and the flowing light arrived simultaneously. As Ye Jie broke through the restriction, he was also bombarded by the flowing light. In Xia Wei's trembling eyes, Ye Jie was blasted far away and fell to the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

"Master..."

Xia Wei's voice trembled. As soon as she was freed, she disregarded everything and rushed to where her master had fallen, her bright eyes filled with worry.

The usually fearless girl trembled violently at the sight of her master being struck so fiercely, losing all her composure. Amidst the dust and smoke, a hand gripped hers tightly. To her astonishment, Ye Jie slowly rose, a hint of confidence in his eyes. The attack from the Moon Goddess, powerful enough to pierce stars, had left him unscathed.

"As expected of the Moon Goddess, a single strike triggered my ability to avoid disaster by losing money. In other words, if it weren't for the blessing of the celestial official's power, that single strike would have been enough to kill me..."

Ye Jie said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, even a saint's full-force attack could not break the power granted to the celestial officials by the Heavenly Dao."

Among the powers of the God of Prosperity is the supernatural ability to avert disaster by losing money. The effect is that when suffering fatal harm, all the good karma in one's body is exhausted, thus preserving oneself.

Besides the Yin-Yang Mystic Armor, this method of spending money to avoid disaster is Ye Jie's second means of survival. Even if the Taiyin Star Lord wanted to kill him, it probably wouldn't be so easy!

In the past, he constantly searched for celestial official tokens to gain powerful celestial official authority, and now he has finally been rewarded. If he did not have the supernatural ability to avoid disaster by spending money, Ye Jie's life or death would probably be uncertain.

After invoking the principle of "spending money to avoid disaster," Ye Jie's negative karma was reduced to zero, but this did not deter him in the slightest.

With a thought, Ye Jie conjured the Thousand Star Ink Brush, a third-grade divine artifact, into his hand.

After using the ink-sprinkling brush last time, Ye Jie fell in love with this magical tool. Not only did it save him the time of grinding ink, but it also allowed him to write words as soon as he picked up the brush, and the handwriting was so neat that it looked like it was written by a master calligrapher. So he bought it from the original owner of the ink-sprinkling brush, who was the duty officer.

At first, the Duty Officer didn't intend to sell it, saying that this ink brush had been with him for a long time and was his most handy magic weapon. However, when Ye Jie took out a hundred billion merits, he immediately changed his mind and, as if afraid that Ye Jie would go back on his word, stuffed the ink brush into his arms without saying a word.

As Ye Jie picked up his pen, a row of neat characters appeared on the sewn page. The moment the Ghost Seal was sealed, Ye Jie's file gained another 100 billion yin virtues!

"Unfortunately, even if I have unlimited good karma, I can only use the 'spend money to avoid disaster' technique three times a day. If such an attack were to come twice more, it would still be quite dangerous..."

Just as Ye Jie's expression turned solemn, his vision was suddenly filled by a familiar face. Seeing that he was safe and sound, Xia Wei could no longer suppress her longing and wanted to tell Ye Jie all the bitterness and troubles she had been feeling during this period.

At that moment, a purple beam of light descended from the sky and accurately enveloped Xia Wei's figure. Even Ye Jie, who was next to her, was blasted away by that force.

"That is……"

Ye Jie's pupils contracted. Others might not have noticed anything about that purple beam of light, but how could he forget it? It was clearly the magnificent scene created by the condensation of purple energy from the east and moonlight when the Moonlight Box was opened!
Looking closely, one could see that the Moon Goddess was holding a square box in her hands. All the changes, and even the beam of light that descended from the sky, originated from this box!

"The treasure box has not yet fully accumulated its power. If we activate it now, there will inevitably be some hidden dangers. However, you forced me to do this. As the reincarnation of the Mysterious Maiden, you cannot escape your destiny!" the Taiyin Star Lord said coldly.

"Oh no... She's going to erase all traces of Xia Wei's life!"

Recalling the reminder from the Fairy of Medicine Sound, Ye Jie also realized the thoughts of the Moon Goddess.

Previously, Ye Jie, who knew nothing, was still able to reverse time with the power of the Moonlight Box. Now that the box has appeared in the hands of the Moon Goddess, its power will only be greater than when Ye Jie held it!
Under the beam of light, Xia Wei's face showed pain. She felt that her precious memories of the past were being pulled away little by little. She waved her hand to try to grasp those memories, but they slipped through her fingers. If this continued, she was afraid that her soul would regress to a state as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and she would forget everything in this life!
For Xia Wei, that was undoubtedly the most unacceptable thing. She didn't want to forget her master or the companions who fought alongside her all the way. But the current situation left her no choice. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of the pillar of light. Even the condensation of the Netherworld Divine Technique couldn't be completed through the pillar of light.

Looking at her master, who was just inches away, and her companions who were constantly arriving, Xia Wei was filled with pain. She knew that if she could just activate the power of the Netherworld Divine Technique and turn everyone into her power, she could break the pillar of light in front of her, but she just couldn't do it.

Outside the beam of light, the arriving companions were filled with anxiety, too preoccupied to express their longing for her. Xia Wei's pained expression resonated with everyone, and they felt genuine concern for her.

Despite using all his methods, Ye Jie was unable to damage the pillar of light in the slightest. Seeing this, he decisively changed his target, aiming his sword at Taiyin Xingjun, who was activating the treasure box. If he could knock the treasure box out of her hand, perhaps he could turn the tide!
Even faster than Ye Jie were the Xiangliu ghost soldiers who rushed forward with bared fangs and claws, obeying his orders. Under Xiangliu's overwhelming demonic power, the nearby fairy maidens were completely unable to stop it and were all knocked away. Its momentum did not diminish, and its ferocious serpentine body crashed down towards the Taiyin Star Lord.

"Don't get in my way!"

Taiyin Xingjun understood the key to the moment and unleashed all his immortal energy without reservation. Countless tiny silver moonlight rays, like sharp white jade swords, shot out. Although the silver light seemed small, it contained all of Taiyin Xingjun's eighth-level immortal energy!
With a series of loud explosions, the demonic body of Xiangliu Ghost Soldier was riddled with holes by countless silver lights. It couldn't even last a moment before turning into a cloud of extremely dark smoke and dissipating.

Xiang Liu's disappearance created a hard-won opportunity for Ye Jie. Taking advantage of the fact that Taiyin Xingjun's attention was entirely focused on Xiang Liu, Ye Jie decisively activated Dragon Virtue and concealed himself in the void, rapidly approaching Taiyin Xingjun.

The Moon Goddess narrowed her eyes, and a radiant light shone from above her head. The moonlight created an unnatural transparent trail in the space, which was none other than Ye Jie, whose form had vanished.

Seeing that his figure was exposed, Ye Jie simply stopped hiding. Under the divine power of the blooming moonlight, he did not retreat. His figure suddenly accelerated and rushed straight towards Taiyin Xingjun. If you looked closely, you could see a flash of golden light in his palm.

Just as the Moon Goddess was about to use the same method to defeat Ye Jie, she suddenly felt the treasure box in her hand become uncontrollable. A strong suction force came from afar, and the entire treasure box moved towards Ye Jie.

The vibrations of the treasure box caused the moonlight pillar binding Xia Wei to shake violently, and Xia Wei's complexion improved.

"treasure bowl?"

After finally managing to control the Moonlight Box, the Moon Goddess fixed her gaze on the magical treasure hidden in Ye Jie's palm. It was clearly the treasure bowl reserved for the God of Wealth. If an ordinary immortal were here, they would probably have fallen for it. But who is the Moon Goddess? Having reached the Saint Realm, how could she not even be able to hold onto the magical treasure in her hand?
Taking advantage of this brief opportunity, Ye Jie once again closed the distance with Taiyin Xingjun. He activated all his Supreme Saint-level techniques at full speed, making him even faster than the streak of light in the sky. Before Taiyin Xingjun could retaliate, he suddenly reached out and accurately grasped a corner of the treasure box in Taiyin Xingjun's hand.

Seeing this, Ye Jie finally revealed a triumphant smile. The power of the bond between the two Gods of Wealth was activated, and he was about to use his vast amount of Yin virtue to forcefully acquire control of the Moonlight Treasure Box!
"not good……"

The Moon Goddess also realized Ye Jie's plan, and for the first time, a hint of panic appeared deep in her eyes. This Moonlight Box is no different from other divine artifacts; it contains the power to reverse time and cannot fall into the hands of others!

The two were locked in a fierce struggle. Even if Ye Jie successfully acquired ownership of the treasure box, it would be instantly refined by the Taiyin Star Lord. As the two fought with all their might, the arrogant power of the Holy Realm clashed with each other on the small treasure box, making the already dilapidated box unable to withstand the strain, and new cracks continued to spread.

Finally, the treasure box could not withstand the power of the two and shattered completely. In an instant, countless moonlight intertwined with purple energy bloomed from within, and the entire starry river seemed to be dyed with purple!
