683: Take away the Chaos Fetal Membrane
“So, a trade, Fellow Daoist?”
Starry Mother smiled.
Ye Yi fell silent, his heart aching as if cut by a knife.
This was his Opportunity to rise, a supreme treasure he had snatched after countless near-death experiences.
To make him spit out something that had already entered his stomach was more agonizing than having his flesh gouged out.
But if he didn't trade, what would he do about the power of the Great Tribulation, the power of curses, and the Origin of Evil within him?
Rely on Ye Chenxiao to find the Spirit of Tribulation and Malice?
Ye Yi held no hope for that.
The Spirit of Tribulation and Malice was a darling of the Great Dao, appearing only once before completely vanishing.
He had spent more than half of his cultivation to deduce that the Spirit of Tribulation and Malice would reappear, and might have some interaction with Ye Chenxiao.
But this slim possibility was full of variables and uncertainties.
After all, the fate of a darling of the Great Dao was nobler than that of a protagonist of destiny; it was not something Ye Chenxiao could influence.
Even if they met, did Ye Chenxiao have the confidence to persuade the Spirit of Tribulation and Malice to heal him?
Before, he at least had a 'dead horse, living horse' mentality.
Now that he had Starry Mother, a life-saving straw, who would still place their hope on something so ethereal?
“You transmit the Pure World Divine Art, Destiny Divine Art, Reincarnation Divine Art, the Divine Art for condensing Three-Light Divine Water, and the Starry Dao Scripture to me, and I can give you one percent.”
Ye Yi took a deep breath and said this.
In his heart, however, he was thinking that once he resolved his own troubles, he would make Starry Mother repay him a hundredfold.
Since he began his journey, he had never suffered such a great loss.
“Hehe!”
Upon hearing this, Starry Mother couldn't help but let out two cold laughs.
He was at death's door, yet he still dared to dream.
Little did he know, Starry Mother had never intended to trade at all.
These Divine Arts and the Three-Light Divine Water were merely for Ye Yi to see.
Only by showing Ye Yi hope would he bring out the Chaos Fetal Membrane.
And she only needed to raise her demands; Ye Yi would certainly not trade, but he would definitely still want her things.
So what then? She could only summon her true body to snatch them.
“It seems Fellow Daoist didn’t understand my meaning.”
“I want seventy percent, otherwise, the trade is off.”
“If you want to trade, it can only be from the thirty percent you hold.”
“Furthermore, my Divine Arts are non-negotiable.”
Hearing this, Ye Yi’s face twitched, a surge of anger rushed to his head, and killing intent swelled in his heart.
Starry Mother truly had a way of courting death, not leaving even a sliver of room for negotiation.
Why did she insist on forcing him to act?
“How much Three-Light Divine Water do you have?”
Ye Yi stopped the idle talk and asked coldly.
“Enough to cleanse all the impurities from your body.”
Starry Mother waved her hand, and before them appeared a vast ocean formed by the convergence of Three-Light Divine Water.
“Hiss~”
With so much Three-Light Divine Water, she would rather keep it than give a single drop to her disciples.
Ye Yi gained a deeper understanding of Starry Mother’s stinginess.
He suddenly felt that letting Ye Chenxiao become Starry Mother’s disciple was the most mistaken decision.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in the world.
“Let’s go to Chaos for the trade.”
Leaving these words, a ray of light flew out from Ye Chenxiao’s body, disappearing into the fabric of space and time.
A trade was impossible.
He wanted the Three-Light Divine Water.
He also wanted Starry Mother’s Divine Arts.
“Heh!”
Seeing the killing intent in Ye Yi’s eyes, Starry Mother scoffed.
Things were as she expected; Ye Yi had indeed fallen into her trap.
Perfect, she didn't want to trade either.
Her belongings, even a single drop of water, were reserved for her Rebellious Disciple.
Any excess she kept for bathing; it felt incredibly comfortable.
Thinking this, Starry Mother’s thoughts stirred, and she reactivated the Shattered Star Purgatory Array, igniting flames in the Void Realm to incinerate Ye Chenxiao.
Then she returned to her Immortal Cave, waved her hand, and retrieved the Sword of Returning to the Ruins from Gu Qing’s body.
The Sword of Returning to the Ruins was a supreme killing treasure she had refined, so she could naturally wield it.
Although it was only an Innate Supreme Treasure, a twelfth-tier Dao Artifact, the Sword of Returning to the Ruins itself was a Chaos Spirit Treasure embryo.
In her hands, it could unleash its full power.
This was a great weapon of mass destruction, far more powerful than her Dao-proving Supreme Treasure.
It could slay those of the same Realm.
A long river of time appeared beneath Starry Mother’s feet, and she traveled against the flow of time.
Entering the boundless Chaos, she waited for a long time, and finally, Ye Yi appeared, dragging his crippled body.
“Give me the Chaos Fetal Membrane.”
“Hand over the Three-Light Divine Water.”
Both spoke simultaneously.
Starry Mother turned and left.
Before she obtained the Chaos Fetal Membrane, she would not engage Ye Yi in battle, nor would she hand over the Three-Light Divine Water.
“Wait!”
“Here!”
Ye Yi was furious; he had been led by the nose by this woman again.
Starry Mother obtained the Chaos Fetal Membrane, her heart filled with ecstasy, and after a careful inspection to confirm there were no issues, she immediately unleashed the Primordial Star Chart, sealing off the boundless Chaos.
Ye Yi watched with cold eyes, unmoved.
He had long guessed that Starry Mother would rob him, or perhaps try to eliminate future troubles by killing him.
But he truly hadn't expected why Starry Mother didn't even bother to put on a show.
Couldn't she have pretended to give him the Three-Light Divine Water and then ambush him?
Ye Yi had already planned it: as soon as Starry Mother approached, he would lift his Seal, allowing the power of the Great Tribulation, the power of curses, and the Origin of Evil within him to erupt, contaminating Starry Mother as well.
This was the price of offending him.
He didn't believe Starry Mother could withstand the power of the Great Tribulation, the power of curses, and the Origin of Evil.
At that time, Starry Mother would be like meat on a chopping block, at his mercy.
However, the idea was good, but Starry Mother simply didn't play by the rules.
“Hmm?”
As Ye Yi’s thoughts wandered, he saw the power of Returning to the Ruins contained within the Sword of Returning to the Ruins, and his expression instantly changed slightly.
Ye Yi immediately lifted his Seal, and in an instant, his entire body erupted with terrifying power of the Great Tribulation, mixed with the Origin Curse and the Origin of Evil.
If even a trace touched her, even Starry Mother’s Divine Soul, Dao Body, and Dao Fruit would be corroded.
However, in front of the Sword of Returning to the Ruins, these terrifying powers were like a gentle breeze.
The Sword of Returning to the Ruins seemed like a ray of light, infinitely magnified in Ye Yi’s eyes.
A cold sneer appeared on Ye Yi’s lips, and he directly pointed a finger at the tip of the Sword of Returning to the Ruins.
He could tell the extraordinary nature of the Sword of Returning to the Ruins; it was a great weapon of mass destruction.
But so what?
No matter how strong a Magic Treasure, it depended on who was using it.
His Realm was higher than Starry Mother’s, and his Physical Body was comparable to a Chaos Spirit Treasure; if he were at his peak, he could directly sweep aside and crush her.
Even now, with only a fraction of his strength remaining, he was not someone Starry Mother could contend with.
Even if he stood still, Starry Mother couldn't hope to break his Physical Body.
“Boom!”
The moment his finger touched the sword tip, immeasurable light burst forth, annihilating the boundless Chaos.
“Such a terrifying Magic Treasure…”
Ye Yi’s expression was horrified.
Only a skeletal framework remained of one of his hands, and the withered bones were covered in dense sword marks, exuding the power of Returning to the Ruins, corroding his vitality.
What kind of Magic Treasure was this?
Logically speaking, its power shouldn't be so terrifying.
Ye Yi didn't have time to think, nor did he dare to act arrogant anymore.
His cultivation fully erupted, and he summoned a divine cauldron, stabilizing space and time.
Ye Yi, holding his Natal Divine Sword, cleaved open the Primordial Star Chart and vanished from his original spot.
Because if he didn't leave now, he might be worn down to death by Starry Mother.
After all, most of his power was used to suppress the power of the Great Tribulation, the power of curses, and the Origin of Evil within him.
If he couldn't resolve Starry Mother within a few moves, then he would be the one to die.
Ye Yi was confident he could slay Starry Mother in a few moves, but Starry Mother was hiding within the Primordial Star Array, making it difficult even to find her, let alone slay her.
“Starry Mother, I will remember this grudge, and I will repay it in the future.”
Before leaving, he uttered a harsh threat.
In the past, he would never make threats; only others would make threats against him when they were outmatched.
But now, having lost the Chaos Fetal Membrane and gained nothing, Ye Yi was so angry his lungs were about to explode.
“What a pity.”
Starry Mother’s expression was regretful.
Her Realm was still a bit lacking; she couldn't trap Ye Yi and instead had her array diagram damaged.
However, being able to obtain the Chaos Fetal Membrane made it all worthwhile.
