Chapter 852: Taiyin Entering Life, Baleful Star Entering the Body

The Taiyin Entering Life Great Method draws a baleful star into the body, which can increase combat power several times over, but it has a time limit; he must go all out to resolve Xie Yu first.

Xie Yu did not dare to clash head-on with Chen Yu; he sidestepped to dodge this strike from Chen Yu, then formed a strange finger seal with both hands and pointed it at the mysterious snake on the stone pillar.

Suddenly, the mysterious snake on the stone pillar froze, returning to its original carved state, and immediately after, a black snake shadow surged out from the stone pillar and lunged fiercely at Chen Yu.

"It wants to possess you, watch out." Liu Lianxin pointed with both hands, and the cyan lotus petals rotating around her suddenly condensed and struck fiercely at that mysterious snake.

With a wail, the mysterious snake was struck by the lotus petals, and immediately after, countless lotus petals condensed rapidly, forming a giant Green Lotus that rotated slowly in mid-air.

Inside the Green Lotus, that black mysterious snake struggled in pain incessantly, and after a moment, it was dissolved by the supreme Buddha Light, and the mysterious snake vanished then and there.

Xie Yu's expression changed drastically; the Heavenly Mandate Elder had laid out his plans for decades, and this mysterious snake plot was of the utmost importance. Entrusting this matter to him was a sign of the Heavenly Mandate Elder's trust, yet he had caused the matter to be exposed due to underestimating his enemy.

But now the mysterious snake was dead, and this matter could be considered completely ruined. Moreover, Chen Yu now had the blessing of the Taiyin star's Life, his combat power having increased at least threefold compared to before, and with Liu Lianxin and her Green Lotus Jade Bone, he simply could not win this round.

Xie Yu flashed away, transforming into a black shadow as he ran toward the door; this guy was trying to escape.

Chen Yu lifted the Lichen in his hand and thrust it forward; a Sword Light struck heavily into Xie Yu's back, causing him to spray a mouthful of fresh blood before fleeing without a backward glance, disappearing without a trace.

"Chen Yu, do not pursue a desperate foe; you cannot maintain your form for long." Liu Lianxin called out to him.

Only then did Chen Yu realize that his state could not be maintained for long; now that his father's condition was poor, he had better check on his father's situation first.

Chen Anyi was now truly breathing his last; his hair was gray, and he looked extremely aged.

That stone pillar just now had nearly cost him his life, and his essence, energy, and spirit were almost entirely in a state of exhaustion.

Chen Yu did not overthink it; he took out a Miyuan Pill and fed it to his father.

A moment later, his father's spirit improved significantly, and visibly to the naked eye, he recovered his original vitality, appearing even younger than before.

"Dad, you go out first; I will destroy this array." Chen Yu said.

"Xiaoyu, save her." Chen Anyi pointed to Qiu Yanfang on the side.

"Alright." Although Chen Yu did not like Qiu Yanfang, since his father asked him to save her, there must be a reason for it.

He walked over to check Qiu Yanfang's condition, and his brows could not help but knit together.

Qiu Yanfang had been struck flying by Xie Yu's palm, and by now her five viscera were already shattered; the blood from her mouth and nose had turned black, and seeing her pupils slightly dilated, she was likely beyond saving.

"Dad... I'm afraid she won't make it." Chen Yu said: "It's too late; Xie Yu's strike was too ruthless. If I had saved her sooner, perhaps there would be hope, but now that her human energy has completely dissipated, she cannot be saved."

At this moment, Qiu Yanfang also regained a bit of consciousness; her hand moved to grab Chen Anyi's hand, and she tried hard to lift her head, wanting to say something, but she could not.

"Let her speak." Chen Anyi held her hand.

Chen Yu pointed his finger, and a trace of Primordial Qi surged into Qiu Yanfang's body; Qiu Yanfang's body shuddered, and a glimmer of vitality returned to her eyes.

"Chen Yu, I know you hate me... and I have indeed done many bad things, but I beg you, save my younger brother. He knows nothing of anything I have done." Qiu Yanfang held her breath and stared at Chen Yu.

"Your younger brother?" Chen Yu was somewhat puzzled.

"He is the madman outside. Xiaoyu, save her." Chen Anyi sighed slightly: "She is actually not bad; she just took the wrong path."

"Alright, I promise you; I will make him return to normal." Chen Yu nodded.

"Thank you." Qiu Yanfang spat out the two words.

"Chen Anyi, do you hate me?" After the matter of her brother was settled, Qiu Yanfang looked at Chen Anyi with a smile on her face.

"I wouldn't call it hate." Chen Anyi shook his head: "Everything you do has a purpose and a method; after twenty-some years, I've gotten used to it."

"Hehe, used to it." Qiu Yanfang laughed, and as she laughed, tears came out: "How could I not have wanted to... be a good wife? To manage the household, to cook, or to support my husband and raise our children, to make breakfast and call you to wake up, and when you returned home after a busy day, for me to prepare delicious meals for you."

"I have dreamed countless times that we were an ordinary couple, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, busy and living together, tasting all the hardships of the world?"

"Your heart has always been with He Lingyun; it never belonged to me. In over twenty years of marriage, you never once took a walk with me, and you didn't even touch my hand. Am I... really that repulsive to you?"

"It is not repulsion." Chen Anyi sighed: "I have always felt that you were by my side with a purpose, and that our marriage and family were a conspiracy from the start. Both you and I were nothing more than pawns."

"Even if I were a pawn, you never once looked at me squarely. If I didn't love you so much, how could I have become a pawn? Although I was wrong, I am still the wife who has walked with you for twenty years. Now that I am leaving, can you... kiss me once?" Qiu Yanfang gripped Chen Anyi's hand tightly, her expression expectant.

Chen Anyi hesitated for a moment, but Qiu Yanfang was already on the verge of death; he leaned in slowly and whispered in her ear: "I have always remembered you on our wedding day, looking so pure and innocent. I hope you... go in peace."

Chen Anyi kissed her slowly; although it was as light as a dragonfly touching the water, Qiu Yanfang was very satisfied.

"Chen Anyi, if there is fate, we shall meet in the next life." Qiu Yanfang smiled; she slowly closed her eyes, and two lines of clear tears slid from the corners of her eyes. Her life froze at that moment.

Chen Anyi's expression was sorrowful; their marriage was a conspiracy from the start, and for over twenty years he had felt hate and anger, but now that she was gone, all the hate and resentment had vanished like smoke.

"Let's go." Chen Anyi picked her up horizontally and slowly left.

"Dad, you go first. This stone pillar is a Heaven and Earth Pillar; it uses the bloodline of the Chen Clan descendants as an Array Base. If it is not removed, the fate of our Chen Family will become increasingly tragic." Chen Yu turned to look at the stone pillar.

"Alright, take care of yourself." Chen Anyi nodded and turned to leave.

"Chen Yu, how do we break this array?" Liu Lianxin did not leave; she stood there, watching as Chen Yu held the Lichen and drew various patterns on the ground around the stone pillar.

"Now we can only use an array to break an array. This is a Daoist array-breaking diagram. The mysterious snake on the Heaven and Earth Pillar has been destroyed, so breaking it is not difficult. It is said that one diagram can break ten thousand methods." As Chen Yu spoke, an array-breaking diagram was already formed.

Now that the mysterious snake was dead, the Heaven and Earth Pillar only had one Array Base left. Once the Array Base was broken, this array would be completely severed from its connection to the Underworld.
