In his astonishment, Ye Ling did not wait passively for death.
Although Bai Di Yan and the Qi of Life and Death had no significant effect against Tian Ji, whose body was half-coded and who commanded special characters, Ye Ling also possessed special characters, giving him leverage against Tian Ji.
Moreover, Ye Ling had discerned that Shan had left a profound psychological scar on Tian Ji. If he could effectively exploit this trauma, it wasn't impossible to deal with Tian Ji!
"Causing Tian Ji to experience a momentary hallucination consumes nearly fifty percent of my strength, and the stimulus of such illusions will undoubtedly weaken with each subsequent use. I must make the most of these opportunities!"
As Ye Ling watched Tian Ji gradually infect the entire space, he began to retract his own body, slowing down the pace of Tian Ji's infection.
"This plan was originally for the Seven Pillars to fight against the Primordial Wisdom King, with me benefiting as a bystander. How did it turn into me fighting Tian Ji? No, I need to find something for the Seven Pillars outside to do!"
Ye Ling decided not to use "World" to write for the time being. He immediately exerted his strength to break open this virtual world, connecting it to the larger virtual world outside.
A large amount of scarlet code spread along the rift opened by Ye Ling into the vast void of the outer virtual world, beginning to infect the entire virtual realm.
Ye Ling also took the opportunity to escape the small space and enter the larger virtual world outside.
"Ye Ling! You can't escape!"
Tian Ji had no intention of letting Ye Ling flee and pursued him directly!
Before this, within the shattered void in the sky of the virtual world.
Mr. Bai, with the black ruler floating beside him, was confronting Kui Ling, whose face was contorted in a sinister grin. Meihu, meanwhile, stood motionlessly between Mr. Bai and Kui Ling, like a puppet.
The hairpin in Kui Ling's hand had been completely crushed by him.
Tian Yun and the other three Seven Pillars were suppressing Barton and Bema, guarding the four corners of the virtual world, sealing the entire realm to prevent beings from the real world from entering and virtual world consciousness from escaping.
The overall situation was eerily strange.
Kui Ling stared intently at Mr. Bai and said in a deep voice, "Bai, our mission was to cooperate and take down the Primordial Wisdom King together. Instead, you secretly laid a trap, intending to use Tian Ji to eliminate me. Your treachery disgusts me!"
Mr. Bai calmly looked at Kui Ling and said lightly, "Tian Ji's appearance was unexpected by anyone. At most, I merely stood by and did nothing. But you destroyed Meihu's cherished item, causing her to lose her soul... Compared to me, you are the one who committed the unforgivable sin!"
"Hmph! Meihu colluded with you to scheme against me. This is the fate she deserves!"
Kui Ling declared loudly, tossing the broken hairpin aside as if it were trash. He then shouted at Tian Yun, "Tian Yun, Bai has betrayed the Seven Pillars. Join forces with me, and let's take down this traitor!"
Tian Yun, standing at the edge of the world, remained unmoved and said lightly, "I do not know the truth of what you two are saying, nor do I care about your arguments. Your right and wrong should be judged by 'Brain.' The immediate priority is to deal with the Primordial Wisdom King!"
"Hmph! The Primordial Wisdom King has colluded with Tian Ji, and Tian Ji has gone mad. If we don't unite, we won't be able to deal with the Primordial Wisdom King and Tian Ji!" Kui Ling retorted coldly.
"Now, Bai is a traitor. If we don't deal with him first, and then go in, we will be attacked from both sides and be annihilated!"
Upon hearing Kui Ling's words, Tian Yun merely shook his head slightly and then looked at Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai stated, "With Kui Ling present, this mission is already impossible to complete. I suggest you watch from the sidelines. After I deal with that clown Kui Ling, we will re-deploy our plan."
Kui Ling cursed, "Bai, what makes you so arrogant?"
The other three Seven Pillars, seeing Mr. Bai and Kui Ling locked in a confrontation, seemingly determined to kill each other, all looked towards Tian Yun, as if Tian Yun were their backbone.
Tian Yun also knew that the current conflict was irreconcilable. He sighed slightly and said to the remaining three Seven Pillars, "We will guard the world. Before they determine a victor, do not let anyone escape. I have a feeling that someone is stirring up trouble from behind the scenes."
As he said this, he glanced at Barton.
As the oldest of the Seven Pillars, he had once defeated the Primordial Seven Kings. Although he was now severely injured, his experience and intuition remained.
His intuition told him that the confrontation between Mr. Bai and Kui Ling was not that simple, and that Ye Ling might be the one orchestrating everything from the shadows.
Tian Yun had also reviewed Ye Ling's file and knew about the significant deeds Ye Ling had accomplished in the Primordial Chaos.
In his eyes, the Primordial Seven Kings were not a threat; Ye Ling was the true paramount concern!
This mission could fail, but Ye Ling had to die!
The remaining three Seven Pillars trusted Tian Yun implicitly. After Tian Yun spoke, they dutifully took their positions in the four corners of the world, keeping a close watch on any disturbance within the virtual world!
At this moment, Ye Ling, transformed into a data worm, escaped from the world where the Primordial Wisdom King resided. The spiritual energy fluctuations caused by Ye Ling's escape attracted everyone's attention!
"Ye Ling!"
Tian Yun noticed Ye Ling, who had transformed into a data worm, his pupils contracting slightly. However, before he could make a move, the space behind Ye Ling rapidly turned red!
A large amount of scarlet code swiftly infected the entire virtual world.
"Ye Ling!!!"
Tian Ji's colossal face appeared in the shattered void in the sky. His surging aura directly caused the entire virtual world to collapse!
The first to bear the brunt were Tian Yun and his three companions, who were guarding the four corners of the world. They were all subjected to intense impact, their bodies infected by Tian Ji's power, with parts of their bodies rapidly digitizing into meaningless garbled code!
"It's really lively out here!"
Ye Ling, having escaped, smiled at the placid Mr. Bai and the livid Kui Ling. He then dispersed himself into a vast expanse of data, merging into the virtual world to hide.
"Ye Ling, you cannot escape!"
Tian Ji paid no heed to the Seven Pillars. Seeing Ye Ling hide within the virtual world, he began to infect the entire realm, preparing to bury Ye Ling along with everything in the virtual world!
As for whether the Seven Pillars within the virtual world lived or died, it no longer mattered!
"Tian Ji! You've gone mad!"
Kui Ling stared intently at Tian Ji's colossal face, his eyes filled with killing intent. "You not only colluded with the Primordial Wisdom King, but now you intend to bury us all here? Do you truly not regard us Seven Pillars as anything?"
"Get lost!!!"
Tian Ji roared, his ferocious aura directly sending Kui Ling flying.
Kui Ling crashed heavily onto the ground, half of his body completely coded!
Mr. Bai calmly observed Tian Ji's current state, his eyes still profound, and murmured to himself, "Tian Ji... you have become a toy of evil..."
