In the vast expanse of the universe, the ghostly face re-formed, staring at Ye Ling and cackling sinisterly, "Chosen one, if you can't kill me again, it will be my turn to counterattack..."
"I have thoroughly analyzed your strength!"
The ghostly face laughed heartily, and a large amount of black mist began to contract, then surprisingly condensed into a person exactly like Ye Ling!
Even his cultivation level was the same as Ye Ling's, the逍遥仙 (Xiaoyao Xian)!
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire exclaimed again upon seeing the ghostly face suddenly transform into a human, "Kid, this is bad. That guy is one of the Seven Star Pillars, possessing the primal power of the Upper Realm Lord. He can evolve continuously. Let's escape first!"
"Upper Realm Lord? What is that?" Ye Ling asked in confusion.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire quickly replied, "The Upper Realm Lord is the master of the Lord of Remnants, the mastermind behind the erosion of the main spacetime. His primal power's rank is above that of the Creation God. You are absolutely no match for him at your current level!"
Hearing the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's words, Ye Ling exclaimed in shock, "Why didn't you tell me something so important earlier?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire retorted, "I couldn't tell if the opponent had primal power or not. I thought the opponent was just a low-level minion providing experience. Who knew they were so formidable?"
"Damn it!"
Ye Ling cursed, glanced at the person identical to him, and then fled into the distance without looking back.
Ye Ling truly did not expect that after he had just slain the Lord of Remnants, and before he could bask in glory for long, he would have to live a life of frantic escape again!
The ghostly face watched Ye Ling flee into the distance, its lips curling into a sinister grin, "Chosen one, you don't think I'm the only one coming to kill you this time, do you?"
As soon as the ghostly face finished speaking, a large amount of black mist surged out in front of Ye Ling, and another shadowy figure appeared, blocking Ye Ling's path!
That mass of shadow also transformed into Ye Ling's appearance, and its aura was also that of a逍遥仙 (Xiaoyao Xian)!
"Damn it!"
Seeing another enemy appear, Ye Ling cursed again and immediately changed direction to flee!
The ghostly face continued to laugh, "Chosen one, there are far more than just two coming to hunt you..."
As his voice fell, another mass of shadow appeared in front of Ye Ling, transforming into a person identical to Ye Ling, forcing Ye Ling to change his course again!
Ye Ling was forced to change direction to escape, but in the end, a total of seven people, all identical to him, appeared, blocking all his escape routes!
Ye Ling stopped, looking at the seven identical figures floating in the cosmic void, and said with a wry smile, "Seven against one... this isn't fair."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire, seeing the seven figures surrounding Ye Ling, said gravely, "The Seven Star Pillars of the Upper Realm Lord have all arrived now, kid... This is an unprecedented honor for the Chosen One. You're truly amazing!"
In past cycles of reincarnation, even the most brilliant among them only faced the Seven Star Pillars after reaching the Creation God realm and entering the Chaos Battlefield, and even then, not all of them were deployed.
For Ye Ling, who hadn't reached the Creation God realm or entered the Chaos Battlefield, and was merely a novice who had just defeated the beginner village boss, to attract all seven Star Pillars was astonishing!
The Seven Star Pillars had no cultivation of their own. They relied entirely on the primal aura of the Upper Realm Lord and could perfectly simulate their enemies.
In other words, their strength had no upper limit; they were as strong as the targets they simulated!
What was even more terrifying was that after simulating opponents, the Seven Star Pillars could use the Upper Realm Lord's power, and their loss of vitality could be replenished by drawing power from other living beings.
This meant that Ye Ling had to face seven versions of himself, who were immortal, indestructible, and possessed infinite power, all at the same time!
Ye Ling looked at the Seven Star Pillars who had completely surrounded him and said irritably, "I'd rather not have this honor... That so-called Upper Realm Lord really thinks highly of me!"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire sensed the spiritual energy flowing within Ye Ling and exclaimed, "Kid, you're not actually thinking of fighting the Seven Star Pillars, are you?"
"What else can I do? I can't escape now, so I can only fight with all my might..." Ye Ling was not completely despairing; he still held onto his fighting spirit.
Although he was currently facing the Seven Star Pillars from Chaos, it did not mean he had no glimmer of hope!
Those Seven Star Pillars were simulating him, and according to the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, the Seven Star Pillars would simulate him completely...
In this way, Ye Ling was essentially fighting against seven inner demons of his own.
He knew his own strengths and weaknesses, so fighting seven of them... was not impossible!
Although Ye Ling thought this way, in the eyes of the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, Ye Ling was completely insane!
This was a battle that was impossible to win!
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire trembled and asked, "K-kid... are you serious? Are you really going to fight?"
Ye Ling smiled, "Don't boost their morale and dampen ours. Let's look at it from another perspective. Since that Upper Realm Lord can send all seven Star Pillars to hunt me, it means that guy realizes we are a huge threat. And sending one or two Seven Star Pillars alone might not be enough to kill me."
"Thinking about it this way, we do have a chance of winning, we just haven't seen it yet."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire was stunned by Ye Ling's words and couldn't react for a long time. Moreover, it actually felt that Ye Ling had a chance of winning!
"Kid, what you're saying makes a little bit of sense."
"Right? I said, World-Destroying Spirit Fire, aren't you considered a big shot? Why are you always so impatient when facing problems? If we brothers join forces, are we afraid of those damn Seven Star Pillars?"
"It-it does seem to make a little bit of sense... Sorry, I was being a coward."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire was bewildered. Looking at Ye Ling's calm expression, its heart also became calmer!
Ye Ling composed himself, looked at the Seven Star Pillars surrounding him, and asked with a smile, "You seven guys, do you want to fight one by one? Or all at once?"
The Seven Star Pillars were all stunned to see Ye Ling, who had been fleeing in panic, suddenly become confident. The seven looked at each other, not understanding what was happening.
What was this kid up to?
Ye Ling's smile grew brighter. He pointed at the person in front of him and beckoned with his finger, "Little One, how about you go first? A one-on-one fight with me?"
"Little One?"
Hearing Ye Ling's address, the Seven Star Pillars twitched their lips, veins bulging on their foreheads, "Good kid, how dare you call me, the Third Star Pillar, like that? Utterly arrogant!"
"Everyone, spread out, let me take down this madman!"
Seeing that the Third Star Pillar agreed to a one-on-one duel with him, Ye Ling's eyes flashed with joy. He quickly said to the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, "World-Destroying Spirit Fire, get ready!"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire also became excited, "Good kid! Let's go together!"
Ye Ling, however, said, "Go where! Get ready to run!"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire: "Ah?"
