Ye Ling watched the colossal entity slash down, but his eyes held no fear, only surging battle intent.
The surging Bai Di Yan ignited around him, simultaneously unleashing the Devouring Domain and Ink. A vast amount of runes combined with the power of creation, condensing into a colossal sword exceeding a million li in length.
Although the rune greatsword appeared incredibly minuscule compared to the Sword of Annihilation, Ye Ling had no intention of retreating. He directly raised the greatsword and slashed towards the Sword of Annihilation!
*Chih!*
The blazing Bai Di Yan, attached to the rune greatsword, also burned away the surrounding death qi, scorching space and melting the Extreme Cold Death Domain!
The Primal Underworld King, initially startled by Tian Ji's move, felt his own competitive spirit ignited upon seeing Ye Ling charge forward with his sword.
"Kid, this King will aid you!"
The Primal Underworld King roared, once again channeling his boundless death qi and pouring it beneath the blade of the Sword of Annihilation.
Although Tian Ji's power could erase the Primal Underworld King's death qi, under the impact of the endless liquefied death qi, the Sword of Annihilation began to corrode and rust, its power weakening!
"Break for me!!!"
Ye Ling targeted the point where the Sword of Annihilation was most severely corroded by death qi and slashed with his sword!
*Clang!!!*
A deafening collision echoed throughout the Extreme Cold Death Domain, even dispelling the Primal Chaos outside, turning the endless chaotic storms into nothingness!
Ye Ling's rune greatsword had actually severed the Sword of Annihilation, which was a light-year long!
Tian Ji's pupils slightly contracted, clearly not expecting Ye Ling and the Primal Underworld King combined to possess such combat power!
Having severed the Sword of Annihilation, Ye Ling did not stop. Instead, he used the immense momentum to slash towards Tian Ji with his sword!
*Sssslap!*
Simultaneously, black chains transformed by the Devouring Domain flew out from beneath Tian Ji's feet, quickly entangling him. While plundering Tian Ji's power, they also fixed him in place.
The Primal Underworld King also did not hold back, manipulating endless death qi to envelop the massive formation behind Tian Ji, corroding it.
"Tian Ji, take this sword!"
Ye Ling came with his sword, the colossal rune greatsword slicing through the black void and fiercely striking towards Tian Ji!
This sword, carrying the boundless power of Ye Ling and the Primal Underworld King, was enough to annihilate a Seven Pillar!
"Shield of Annihilation!"
However, just as the rune greatsword was about to reach Tian Ji, a black greatshield, larger than a galaxy, materialized out of thin air before Tian Ji. Ye Ling's rune greatsword cleaved onto that greatshield!
*Crackle!*
Ye Ling's rune greatsword instantly shattered. The Bai Di Yan, capable of devouring everything, failed to ignite the black greatshield and was blown into nothingness by the gale force generated by the greatshield!
Ye Ling was sent flying tens of thousands of li by the immense recoil. He then managed to halt his momentum in the void by conjuring a rune barrier behind himself.
"This is impossible!"
The Primal Underworld King exclaimed in disbelief, never imagining that even this wouldn't be enough to subdue Tian Ji.
Ye Ling's expression was grave as he stared intently at the greatshield in the distance.
"Could his summoned entities appear without relying on the formation?" Ye Ling muttered, immediately sensing the terrifying nature of Tian Ji.
The colossal Shield of Annihilation slowly dissipated. Tian Ji tore apart the chains that bound him, glanced at the chain marks imprinted on his arm, and then looked at Ye Ling and the Primal Underworld King, saying, "I admit, your performance has exceeded my expectations. It seems I must get serious now."
As Tian Ji's words fell, an humanoid shadow of unknown height suddenly appeared behind him.
Ye Ling, tens of thousands of li away, could not see the full extent of the humanoid shadow's form.
The humanoid shadow held the Shield of Annihilation in its left hand and the Sword of Annihilation in its right. Its terrifying pressure made Ye Ling and the Primal Underworld King unable to breathe.
"Primal Underworld King, what is this move of Tian Ji's?" Ye Ling asked the Primal Underworld King, a vague sense of foreboding stirring within him upon seeing the humanoid shadow.
"I don't know... This King has never seen it before!" The Primal Underworld King's eyes showed fear as he replied tremblingly.
"Didn't you Seven Kings fight against the Seven Pillars before?" Ye Ling asked again.
"Tian Ji never used this move back then!" The Primal Underworld King shouted, appearing somewhat broken.
As one of the oldest Seven Kings, he should have been the most powerful existence in the Primal Chaos. Now, being crushed by an outsider, the unparalleled sense of defeat made him completely lose the dignity of an ancient king.
The era of Primal Chaos had truly changed.
Upon seeing Tian Ji's current posture, the Primal Underworld King knew that even if all the Seven Kings were released from their seals, they would not be able to re-dominate Chaos.
The faction of Watchers was too powerful!
Tian Ji stood before the colossal phantom, calmly observing Ye Ling and the Primal Underworld King, and said indifferently, "I can give you one last chance. Surrender obediently and accept my judgment. This way, you can avoid much unnecessary suffering."
Hearing Tian Ji's words, Ye Ling grinned and replied, "Forget it... I don't have the habit of admitting defeat. I want to see if you can defeat me and the Primal Underworld King..."
"I surrender..."
Before Ye Ling could finish speaking, the Primal Underworld King surrendered first, completely giving up resistance, leaving Ye Ling momentarily speechless.
The Primal Underworld King raised his hands and said to Tian Ji, "I surrender. Send me back. I won't break out again in the future!"
Hearing the Primal Underworld King's words, Tian Ji's lips curved slightly, his gaze falling upon Ye Ling.
Ye Ling's expression was quite grim. He quickly urged the Primal Underworld King, "Hey! We haven't even used our full strength yet, why are you chickening out?"
"There's no need..."
The Primal Underworld King shook his head, then looked at Ye Ling and said, "Even if we win, what about afterwards?"
"The opponent is just one Tian Ji. Do you know who exists behind Tian Ji?"
"If Tian Ji is like this, how terrifying must the 'Brain' be?"
"I should have realized it back then. In that ancient war against the Watchers, the 'Brain' didn't even make an appearance!"
"In their eyes, our so-called Seven Kings are probably just ants that can be crushed with a flick of the wrist... I'm tired. Let it all be destroyed."
After uttering these disheartening words, the Primal Underworld King completely lost his fighting spirit and began to slack off.
Seeing the Primal Underworld King give up, Ye Ling's mood also instantly soured.
"This is troublesome now..."
He and the Primal Underworld King combined might not have been unable to fight Tian Ji.
But now that the Primal Underworld King had surrendered, leaving him alone, even if he unleashed the full potential of Emperor Ancestor, he would probably not be able to make up for the gap in raw power between him and Tian Ji.
"Ye Ling, the wise man knows when to adapt. You should give up resisting." Tian Ji advised Ye Ling. The phantom behind him also raised its sword, pointing at Ye Ling and exerting pressure.
"Stop talking..."
Ye Ling interrupted Tian Ji. He stared at the colossal pressure, took a deep breath, and then solemnly looked at Tian Ji, slowly raising a...
Middle finger.
