As Ye Ling broke the seals within his body, his entire aura began to surge at an astonishing rate.
The Pillar of Shadow, sensing Ye Ling's current aura, displayed fear in its eyes for the first time.
"So, so strong?"
For the first time, the Pillar of Shadow felt a threat of death from Ye Ling. It no longer dared to be careless, secretly gathering its strength, and said to Ye Ling, "Senior, please don't be rash. Give me a little more time, and I will definitely help you find the First Star Pillar!"
"The farce should end!"
Ye Ling snorted coldly, disappeared from his original spot once more, and reappeared before the Pillar of Shadow, throwing a punch!
This time, the Pillar of Shadow did not dare to directly resist Ye Ling's fist. It wanted to dodge Ye Ling's attack, but it found that Ye Ling's speed was far superior to its own; it could not dodge Ye Ling's attack at all!
"This is bad!"
The Pillar of Shadow inwardly cursed its misfortune. It quickly abandoned the idea of escape and concentrated all its strength on its face, preparing to withstand Ye Ling's blow!
BOOM!!!
Ye Ling's punch landed on the Pillar of Shadow's head, directly breaking through its defense, shattering its head. The impact even penetrated the entire Second Heaven and First Heaven, rushing towards the outside of the Nine Heavens Realm!
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire shrieked, "Enough, enough! Kid, quickly retract your strength. If the commotion gets any bigger, let alone alerting the dark creatures, the entire Nine Heavens Realm will be shattered by you!"
"I know."
After throwing the punch, Ye Ling once again applied runic seals to his body, resealing his power, leaving only the dark power he could activate.
Ye Ling contained his aura. Before he could even kill the Pillar of Shadow, flesh buds wriggled on the Pillar of Shadow's neck, and then the shattered head of the Pillar of Shadow grew back. Moreover, the Pillar of Shadow's aura instantly returned to its peak!
"This is!"
Seeing the Pillar of Shadow instantly recover to its peak, Ye Ling's pupils contracted sharply, realizing the trouble. Just as he was about to slip away, the Pillar of Shadow directly knelt before Ye Ling and cried, "Senior, I was truly wrong! There is no First Star Pillar at all. I deliberately tested you!"
Ye Ling was also taken aback when the Pillar of Shadow suddenly knelt before him. However, he quickly reacted, his face stern, and questioned the Pillar of Shadow, "Why did you lie to test me? I need a reasonable explanation."
The Pillar of Shadow seemed terrified by the power Ye Ling had just unleashed and quickly said, "I just felt that Senior's appearance was too coincidental. After all, the Master only sent me alone to hunt down the Chosen One, so I suspected that Senior was a disguise by the Chosen One."
Speaking of this, fearing Ye Ling might misunderstand, the Pillar of Shadow quickly explained, "But I understand now. Senior is definitely not the Chosen One, and I dare not test you carelessly anymore! Please, Senior, for the sake of us both working for the Master, spare my life! My life is running out."
Hearing the Pillar of Shadow's words, Ye Ling also realized that Chu had not fully analyzed all of the Pillar of Shadow's information. However, Ye Ling, with a poker face, said to the Pillar of Shadow, "Do you think these two sentences of yours are enough to make me let you go?"
"Do you know that because of you, I wasted five precious minutes? That's enough time for me to hunt the next Creation God."
The Pillar of Shadow nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Senior is right! This was purely my own foolishness, and I will definitely compensate Senior properly!"
Ye Ling said coldly, "How will you compensate?"
The Pillar of Shadow gritted its teeth, then plunged its hand into its chest and took out a black and white key from within its body.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire shrieked, "Holy crap? Key of Chaos? How does this guy have such a treasure?"
Ye Ling asked, "What is the Key of Chaos?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire quickly explained, "Kid, you should know that the Lord of the Upper Realm and Goodness and Evil were all sealed together before, right?"
Ye Ling said, "I know."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire continued, "When Goodness and Evil were sealed, they left behind the Creation Inheritance to select the Chosen One, allowing the Chosen One to inherit their power. The inner demons you absorbed, the rune power you learned, and the Devouring Domain were all inherited from the Creation Inheritance, so you should know how precious the Creation Inheritance is."
Ye Ling frowned, "How is this Creation Inheritance precious related to the Key of Chaos?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire excitedly said, "Kid, are you stupid? When Goodness and Evil were sealed, they knew to leave an inheritance. Wouldn't the Lord of the Upper Realm have left an inheritance when sealed?"
Ye Ling's heart stirred, "You mean..."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire said, "That's right! This Key of Chaos is the key to unlocking the Upper Realm Inheritance. It contains the various powers of the Lord of the Upper Realm. If you obtain it, your strength will surely skyrocket!"
"I didn't expect this simpleton to have such a precious thing!"
Hearing the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's words, Ye Ling also realized the preciousness of the Key of Chaos that the Pillar of Shadow produced. He immediately asked the Pillar of Shadow, "Key of Chaos? You are actually willing to hand over such a divine object. Are you still deceiving me?"
The Pillar of Shadow quickly said, "You wrong me, Senior! This is a genuine Key of Chaos! It was rewarded to me by the Master!"
Ye Ling said coldly, "Since this is the true Key of Chaos, why didn't you go and get it yourself? In my opinion, the value of this thing is far greater than your dog life!"
The Pillar of Shadow dared not hide anything, "To be honest, Senior, I originally intended to inherit the Master's power myself. But after the last battle with the Emperor's Hall, that secret realm fell into the main timeline. As you know... Goodness and Evil have already been unsealed, and I really don't dare to take the risk!"
Hearing the Pillar of Shadow's words, Ye Ling was overjoyed, but outwardly he maintained a cold expression and said to the Pillar of Shadow, "You don't dare to go to your death, so you want me to go to my death?"
The Pillar of Shadow trembled and quickly said, "No, no, no! I absolutely didn't mean that! It's just that the most precious thing I have is this Key of Chaos, and the Master's secret realm is not fixed in one place. What if that thing returns to the Chaos Battlefield later?"
Ye Ling said, "Although both you and I know that the probability is very slim, and the Key of Chaos in your hand is like scrap metal, in consideration of the Master, I will accept your Key of Chaos and spare your dog life."
Saying that, Ye Ling directly took the Key of Chaos and said to the Pillar of Shadow, "Get lost, I don't want to see you again!"
Seeing that he had exchanged a "scrap metal" for Ye Ling's forgiveness, the Pillar of Shadow was immediately grateful and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Senior! I'll leave now!"
With that, the Pillar of Shadow fled the scene without looking back and flew towards the Third Heaven.
After Ye Ling and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire watched the Pillar of Shadow leave, both showed expressions of extreme joy.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire exclaimed joyfully, "Holy crap! We met a sucker today! We're rich!"
Ye Ling quickly said, "This place is not suitable for lingering, let's get out of here!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go! Time to go home and get the treasure!"
Ye Ling and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire cheered and turned into a beam of light, fleeing towards the outside of the Nine Heavens Realm!
