The physical body that Ye Ling was molding for Chu gradually took shape, and the pressure of the Creator God spread throughout the First Heaven, as if to crush the entire firmament!
All beings in the First Heaven sensed that supreme pressure and looked towards the dazzling light in the sky, instinctively kneeling in worship.
They had never seen such a supreme being!
Chu also stared blankly at the body Ye Ling was refining for him, his eyes a little hazy, and murmured, "What a perfect body... I can feel my soul merging perfectly with this body!"
Ye Ling quickly said to Chu, "Chu, your body hasn't fully formed yet. Seize this moment to inhabit that body and adapt as quickly as possible before I complete the details, to avoid rejection!"
"Alright!"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Chu did not hesitate. He transformed into a stream of light and flew to the heavens, merging with the body Ye Ling had refined!
Boom!!!
The moment Chu merged with the physical body, it erupted with seven-colored divine radiance. The dazzling light illuminated the entire First Heaven, even showing signs of affecting other heavens!
Seeing the celestial phenomenon, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire quickly said to Ye Ling, "Kid, you should be more discreet. If the Seven Star Pillars discover you're up to something like this, they'll have no choice but to suspect your identity!"
"Understood!"
Ye Ling nodded quickly and then divided his attention, releasing the dark power within him.
The black mist instantly surged into the heavens and spread in all directions, covering the First Heaven at an extremely rapid pace.
The First Heaven, which was filled with seven-colored divine light, instantly turned pitch black. All beings were enveloped by darkness, seeing nothing but blackness, unable to see their hands before their eyes.
A cold and sinister aura permeated around every being, causing endless fear to arise in their hearts.
In the next moment, the dark power stripped the five senses of the beings in the First Heaven, preventing them from perceiving the outside world.
It was precisely the dark power released by Ye Ling that completely concealed Chu's creator aura.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire looked at the First Heaven shrouded in darkness and sighed, "Tsk, tsk, tsk... I must say, you kid are now the King of Darkness. In an instant, you can strip the five senses of billions of beings. If you had any ulterior motives, this First Heaven would likely be wiped clean in an instant!"
"Kid, your strength has now completely surpassed this world!"
Ye Ling, however, showed no arrogance or complacency. He humbly said, "There are always people better than you, and heavens beyond heavens. My current abilities rely entirely on the dark power. To put it bluntly... I am borrowing the power of the Lord of the Upper Realm."
"If we want to defeat the Lord of the Upper Realm, we still need to fully grasp the new power that emerges from the fusion of Soul Suppressing power and dark power. It's a pity that power is too profound... I'm not even sure how to use it yet."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire chuckled, "Let's take our time! Kid, you are too hard on yourself. Without exaggeration... your progress speed can be called the first in history. I estimate that even the Demon Emperor and the Evil Emperor did not advance as quickly as you in their cultivation. I think you can afford to be a little proud."
Ye Ling shook his head, "You can't say that... I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants. All along the way, I can't even count how many inheritances I've received or how many resources I've consumed."
"It's like in the 17th century on Earth, when Newton discovered universal gravitation, he could be called a god in the field of physics. But in the 21st century, middle school students begin to learn about universal gravitation. Opening up new paths and learning from predecessors' knowledge... these are incomparable."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire put on a stern face, "Kid... I have to criticize you a bit here... aren't you forging a new path yourself now? Emperor Ancestor's Carefree Immortal... and now the fusion of Soul Suppressing power and dark power, these are paths that no one has ever walked before. If I were to judge, your achievements are no less than Good and Evil. You have no reason to be so self-deprecating!"
Ye Ling smiled and asked the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, "Then if you had to choose between me or either of Good and Evil, who would you choose?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire replied without hesitation, "Good and Evil."
Ye Ling: "Get lost!"
While Ye Ling and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire were bantering, Chu had completely merged with the body Ye Ling had refined, fully adapting to his new physique.
Ye Ling was also gradually entering the final stage of refining the body.
Above the First Heaven, the Seven Star Pillars first sensed the birth of a powerful being in the First Heaven and descended together to the Second Heaven.
Seven supreme beings stood in the void of the Second Heaven. Dark energy permeated around the seven, causing the land to become desolate and all beings to turn into white bones.
They had intended to investigate the First Heaven, but were blocked from entering by the dark power released by Ye Ling.
The First Star Pillar looked silently at the First Heaven shrouded in darkness, his brow furrowed. He couldn't help but ask the Third Star Pillar, "Third Star Pillar, are you sure Ye Ling has become the Eighth Star Pillar?"
The Third Star Pillar quickly replied, "Certain... The intensity of the dark power within Ye Ling is now far superior to mine. That is absolutely not something that can be simulated with runes!"
"Moreover, Ye Ling's personality has changed drastically. He has become extremely arrogant and inflated, completely lacking his former caution. This must also be the influence of the second personality appearing."
The First Star Pillar then said, "But I just sensed an aura comparable to a Creator God from the First Heaven. That is definitely not dark energy!"
The Third Star Pillar did not harbor any suspicion and continued, "Perhaps the Eighth Star Pillar has not yet fully suppressed Ye Ling's main personality. However, with the strength of the Eighth Star Pillar, I believe it is only a matter of time before he completely controls Ye Ling's body."
At this moment, the Second Star Pillar sneered at the Third Star Pillar, "Yo... Ye Ling has just become the Eighth Star Pillar, and you, Third Star Pillar, are acting like Ye Ling's dog, so eager to explain for him?"
"Second Star Pillar!!!"
Hearing the Second Star Pillar's mockery, the Third Star Pillar's eyes instantly spewed with anger. But no matter how angry he was, he dared not attack the Second Star Pillar.
Half of his strength had been siphoned off by Ye Ling. Now, his strength was at the bottom among the original Seven Star Pillars, and significantly weaker than the others.
At such a time, falling out with other Star Pillars would bring him no benefit.
With no other recourse, the Third Star Pillar could only grit his teeth and endure the humiliation.
Seeing the Third Star Pillar back down, the Second Star Pillar's eyes grew more mocking, and he intended to continue his taunts. However, the First Star Pillar interrupted, "Enough. The priority now is to confirm whether Ye Ling is truly the Eighth Star Pillar. Stop your infighting."
The Second Star Pillar seemed to not dare offend the First Star Pillar and merely said, "Understood. I will shut up."
After the Second Star Pillar quieted down, the First Star Pillar glanced at the other Seven Star Pillars and then said, "Everyone, let's open a passage together. We will now enter the First Heaven."
The Third Star Pillar exclaimed, "Enter now? What if the Eighth Star Pillar is in a critical moment of cultivation, and we break through his barrier to enter, wouldn't that..."
The Third Star Pillar had witnessed Ye Ling's strength and believed Ye Ling to be a favored figure of the current Lord of the Upper Realm. He still had half of his strength with Ye Ling, and he absolutely did not want to offend Ye Ling!
However, the First Star Pillar showed no hesitation and said resolutely, "Yes! Right now... If the Eighth Star Pillar truly holds us accountable later, I will bear it alone!"
"Let's act together!"
As the First Star Pillar spoke, the other Star Pillars no longer hesitated and responded, "Alright! Let's open a barrier passage together and meet the newcomer!"
Boom!
Led by the First Star Pillar, the Seven Star Pillars acted in unison, their powerful energy pouring onto the dark mist that enveloped the First Heaven!
In an instant, a large hole was torn in the black mist that shrouded the First Heaven!
