The white-bearded elder, seeing Ye Ling’s earnest gaze, was first momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter. "Hahaha! This is hilarious! A mere ant from the lower realm dares to utter such treasonous words!"
"Do you truly believe that because your lower realm produced one supreme being who coincidentally inherited the origin power of a supreme being, you are now invincible?"
"In this Origin Upper Realm, there are countless beings stronger than you ants. I could crush you like an insect with a single finger!"
Ye Ling calmly watched the laughing white-bearded elder, a slight smile gracing his lips. "Killing you won't be difficult."
"Still playing your tricks!"
Seeing Ye Ling’s continued boasts, the white-bearded elder’s eyes filled with amusement. He pointed a finger at Ye Ling.
A beam of light shot towards Ye Ling at an unbelievable speed!
However, just as the beam was about to pierce Ye Ling’s forehead, Ye Ling merely tilted his head and dodged the elder’s attack.
"What is this?"
The white-bearded elder, seeing Ye Ling evade his attack, couldn't help but be taken aback. He thought Ye Ling was bluffing and pointed again!
But as expected, Ye Ling easily dodged it once more.
After Ye Ling dodged two attacks, the white-bearded elder realized Ye Ling wasn't just lucky. His expression turned slightly serious, and he chuckled, "Interesting… a mere lower realm ant can actually dodge my two fingers. It seems this will be fun!"
The white-bearded elder laughed and steered his golden greatsword, thrusting it towards Ye Ling!
"Go!"
A flash of golden light streaked across, and the golden greatsword, carrying sword aura, lunged at Ye Ling!
Clang!!!
A deafening sound echoed, and sparks flew!
Then, Ye Ling, using the demonic sword in his hand, forcefully knocked the white-bearded elder's golden greatsword away!
"Ye Ling?"
Xuan Yu stared, dumbfounded, at Ye Ling, unable to comprehend how he had done it.
Although the supreme being opposite him wasn't serious, his attacks still held the might of a supreme being, and the golden greatsword was a supreme being's artifact. How could it be so easily parried by the demonic sword Ye Ling created with his power of creation?
Xuan Yu’s heart was filled with shock. She quickly focused her gaze on Ye Ling’s body and saw that the seed of origin within him had sprouted!
At this moment, Ye Ling was absorbing the energy from the seed of origin!
"Ye Ling, you!"
Seeing Ye Ling forcibly absorbing the power of the seed of origin, Xuan Yu’s heart churned with immense shock. She wanted to say something, but the words wouldn't come out.
Ye Ling's action not only risked damaging the seed of origin but also the excessively vast energy flooding into his body could harm him!
Even if Ye Ling gained immense power by forcibly absorbing the seed of origin, he could be crippled after this battle!
However, Xuan Yu knew that Ye Ling understood the consequences of his actions better than anyone.
Yet, Ye Ling still did it…
Xuan Yu sighed softly, knowing she couldn't change the outcome. She could only retreat to the side with Tian Xing, constructing a protective barrier to prevent herself and Tian Xing from being affected by Ye Ling’s battle with the supreme being.
The white-bearded elder’s mood also turned solemn.
His initial two probing attacks weren't serious. Many intelligent juniors in the Origin Upper Realm could evade them, so Ye Ling dodging them wasn't particularly astonishing.
But now, Ye Ling directly parrying his sword was something else entirely!
That golden greatsword was his artifact, and his previous attack was serious, intended to kill Ye Ling…
Yet, even so, Ye Ling could still parry his sword head-on, indicating that Ye Ling possessed the cultivation of a supreme being.
How could a non-supreme being possess the power of a supreme being?
For a moment, the white-bearded elder’s expression grew grave. He stared intently at Ye Ling, his eyes brimming with killing intent.
"This child must not be allowed to leave today!"
At this point, the white-bearded elder realized that Ye Ling was not some lower realm ant but a rising star of the upper realm!
If Ye Ling escaped today, he would be the one to suffer when Ye Ling grew stronger!
"Although it's somewhat shameless to use my full power against a non-supreme being, there's no other way now… Kid, I absolutely cannot let you leave today!"
The white-bearded elder said coldly and beckoned with one hand.
Humph—!
A strange sound echoed, and a sky-covering array of golden greatswords appeared behind the white-bearded elder, their dazzling golden light illuminating the sky.
The pressure of a supreme being descended, causing the earth to tremble!
"Infinite Sword Domain."
The white-bearded elder's indifferent voice reverberated through the air. The vast golden greatswords continued to split, instantly filling the entire sky with dense golden swords, numbering in the hundreds of millions!
Xuan Yu looked at the giant swords in the sky and couldn't help but swallow, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Any one of those golden greatswords could shatter the river of time in the Origin Lower Realm, instantly annihilating trillions of lives!
Although Xuan Yu was a daughter of goodness, this was the first time she had felt the hostility of a supreme being.
It was truly terrifying!
However, Ye Ling looked at the infinite golden greatswords in the sky, his eyes still calm, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
The white-bearded elder said to Ye Ling, "Kid, I don't care what special techniques you have to dodge my attacks, but within my Infinite Sword Domain, the sword rain has no blind spots. Here, even with your heaven-defying means, you have only a dead end!"
Ye Ling closed his eyes and felt the seed of origin within him. After confirming that his power had accumulated sufficiently, he opened his eyes and asked the white-bearded elder, "What is your name?"
The white-bearded elder scoffed, "What? Are you afraid now and want to beg for mercy?"
Ye Ling replied, "No… your life has only ten seconds left. You will be the first supreme being I kill. Tell me your name, and I will remember it forever as a memento."
"Only ten seconds?"
Hearing Ye Ling’s words, the white-bearded elder was first stunned, then burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Are you trying to make me die laughing? I have lived for countless years and roamed the Origin Continent. No one has ever dared to speak to me like this!"
Ye Ling said, "In that case, I shall call you the Nameless Swordsman… your life is nearing its end."
The white-bearded elder’s face contorted. He glared at Ye Ling and said, "Kid, don't be arrogant! Die!"
"Infinite Sword Domain!!!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the white-bearded elder activated his sword domain, the golden greatswords in the sky, carrying sword aura, rained down like a tempest.
At this moment, Ye Ling softly uttered four words: "Devouring Domain."
The next moment, the Devouring Domain, infused with the power of the seed of origin, spread out from Ye Ling, instantly engulfing the white-bearded elder.
"Devour."
Ye Ling whispered. The Devouring Domain instantly stripped the white-bearded elder of his power, draining all his spiritual and soul energy!
"What is this!!!"
The white-bearded elder’s pupils contracted sharply as he felt his power being completely drained. Just as he tried to resist Ye Ling’s domain and reclaim his power, Ye Ling had already appeared before him. The demonic sword in his hand was entwined with… his own sword aura!
"Last second."
Swoosh!!!
Ye Ling spoke, and the demonic sword pierced the white-bearded elder’s chest, injecting the sword aura into him.
Blood splattered onto Ye Ling's face. The sword aura destroyed the white-bearded elder's fragile body and annihilated his soul.
"You, you…"
The white-bearded elder stared at Ye Ling, his face filled with disbelief…
He desperately grabbed Ye Ling’s shoulder and finally felt the immense energy surging within Ye Ling!
"You have the seed of origin?"
The white-bearded elder’s pupils shrank drastically as he sensed the seed of origin within Ye Ling, filled with extreme regret!
If he had known this earlier, wouldn't he have been more cautious?
Alas, it was too late for the white-bearded elder’s regret.
Ye Ling gripped his sword and slashed upwards, cleaving the white-bearded elder in two!
A rain of blood fell to the ground, and the sky filled with sword rain vanished.
The white-bearded elder’s soul was completely destroyed by his own sword aura.
