Chapter 10812

But when he heard the question of the Evil Lord of the Underworld, the figure of the Great Merciful Tree King naturally appeared in his mind.

The evil spirit of the water in the King's Fountain of the Great Mercy Tree broke out and completely rotted away. From a great beauty, she turned into a puddle of dirty mud. Ye Chen felt guilty and heartbroken when he recalled this scene.

In fact, he could have saved the tragic ending of the Great Ci Tree Emperor in advance. As long as he acted quickly and courageously enough, he directly suppressed the Great Ci Tree Emperor first, and then forcibly used the energy of the Soul-Swallowing Ghost Bead to activate the devouring power and engulf her body. If the water from the evil spring is drawn out, she will not rot into mud.

However, Ye Chen originally wanted to discuss it with the Daci Tree Emperor, but he was too polite and kind, and not decisive enough, which led to the tragic ending of the Daci Tree Emperor.

Even if he stole her heart, made her fall in love with him wholeheartedly, and then slowly influenced her, it would be better than watching her turn into a puddle of mud, with her skin, bones, eyes, and hair all rolling in the mud. It is impossible to contemplate what a tragic and horrific ending it is.

Now that the Daci Tree Queen has turned into a puddle of mud, it will be extremely difficult for Ye Chen to save her.

The Evil Lord of the Underworld asked again: "Lord of Reincarnation, please answer me, what is the most regretful thing in your life?"

Ye Chen stopped talking, sighed, and said: "The most regretful thing is the recent..." Thinking of the tragic situation of the Daci Tree Emperor, he couldn't go on.

The Evil Lord of the Underworld looked into Ye Chen's eyes, as if he had glimpsed something, and said, "Is it the Great Merciful Tree Emperor?"

Ye Chen was shocked. He didn't expect that the Evil Lord of the Underworld had such vicious eyes and could see his thoughts. He nodded and said: "Well, yes, I'm sorry for her. If I had been tougher, she wouldn't have Reduced to mud.”

The Evil Lord of the Underworld's face remained unchanged, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, Lord of Reincarnation, you have answered my question, you can move on."

Ye Chen was stunned and said, "Does this count as passing the test?"

The Evil Lord of the Underworld smiled and said: "Not yet, you will find out if you keep walking."

Ye Chen was suspicious and said, "Okay." He said goodbye to the Evil Lord of the Underworld and continued walking up the ladder to heaven.

After stepping on a few steps, Ye Chen felt something was wrong, his heartbeat kept accelerating, he was sweating and palpitating, and he couldn't help but panic. The decaying figure of the Daci Tree King could not be removed from his mind.

Taking a few more steps up, Ye Chen felt even more tormented. The tragic ending of the Great Merciful Tree King seemed to have become an inner demon, constantly tormenting him.

"This is the real test!"

"The test of the inner demon!"

Ye Chen was shocked in his heart, and he immediately understood that this test was a real test of Taoism.

When Ye Chen answered the question of the Evil Lord of the Underworld, what is the most guilt-ridden thing in his life? The moment he finished answering, he was affected by the breath of the Evil Lord of the Underworld. This guilt would turn into a inner demon, constantly tormenting and interrogating him. he.

"Evil Lord of the Underworld, are you deliberately torturing me?"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and looked back at the Evil Lord of the Underworld. He could only feel the figure of the Great Merciful Tree King lingering in his mind, even replaying the process of distortion and decay over and over again.

Such torture from inner demons made Ye Chen unbearable.

The Evil Lord of the Underworld shook his head and said: "No, this is the reward for sin. Lord of Reincarnation, you feel guilty in your heart, so the inner demons are violent. If you had a clear conscience, there would be no inner demons."

“The…repayment of sin.”

When Ye Chen heard this, his inner demons became even more violent. He was in so much pain that he had no choice but to stop, cover his heart, and said:

"I have clearly cut off the shackles of my heart, why do I still have inner demons?"

The Evil Lord of the Underworld said: "What you cut off are the shackles of the past. Now the accumulation of sins will form new shackles. While a person is alive, it is impossible to achieve true transcendence unless he soars to the other side of the starry sky. Do you understand?"

The words of the Evil Lord of the Underworld were subtle and meaningful, and contained the profound meaning of the great law. But at this time, Ye Chen had no intention of chewing and understanding. He only felt that the inner demon was violently attacking, and his consciousness was gradually blurring.

In the critical situation, Ye Chen could only stop moving forward and sit cross-legged on the steps, silently meditating and adjusting his breath, constantly breathing in and out, and regulating his mental thoughts.

Seeing Ye Chen stop advancing, Mo Feitian, Zhou Wuhuang, Tiannu and others below were all shocked. They didn't know what happened to Ye Chen, but this was an opportunity to catch up. They immediately seized it and continued to impact the vicissitudes around them. The law of time, staring at the vicissitudes of life and constantly climbing.

In the end, the three of them broke through first
