Qing Bukong stood in the center of the Soul Ruins, seeing that Ye Ling's Devouring Domain was on par with his own. Instead of being angry, a subtle curve formed on his lips.
"Foolish... who wants to simply compete in domain strength with you?"
"My Soul Ruins, the strength lies in soul power!"
Qing Bukong sneered and activated the billions of souls within the Soul Ruins, using his ultimate soul power to directly attack Ye Ling's soul!
"The soul power contained within the Soul Ruins is already touching the lower limit of a Creation God, enough to instantly destroy the souls of any Great Dao Immortal Lord and Chaos Sovereign. Ye Ling, you are merely a counterfeit Chaos Sovereign, how can you withstand my power?"
Qing Bukong sneered, watching as the vast soul power of the Soul Ruins crushed towards Ye Ling's soul.
But just as Qing Bukong thought Ye Ling's soul would be devoured by the immense soul power, he suddenly found a large number of platinum runes appearing around Ye Ling, intercepting all his soul power!
"This!!!"
Seeing Ye Ling block his soul power sneak attack, Qing Bukong's pupils contracted sharply, and a monstrous wave surged in his heart!
Ye Ling looked at the shocked Qing Bukong, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes, and taunted, "I could have guessed you'd use soul power for a sneak attack with my toes. Did you really think I wouldn't be prepared?"
"Even if you knew, how could you block my soul power?"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Qing Bukong was immensely shocked. But before he could figure out why, he felt the spiritual energy of his Soul Ruins constantly decreasing!
Qing Bukong looked closely and saw that the soul power he had sent to attack Ye Ling was being continuously devoured by Ye Ling's Devouring Domain!
Not only that, but the edges of his domain were also being eroded by the Devouring Domain, and the area of the Soul Ruins was constantly shrinking!
His Soul Ruins could not contend with the Devouring Domain!
"This, how is this possible?"
Seeing his domain retreat, Qing Bukong's heart was even more turbulent, unable to accept this outcome.
At this moment, the World Annihilating Spirit Fire in Ye Ling's wrist became active again. It looked at the shocked Qing Bukong and mocked him mercilessly, "What a complete idiot. The Devouring Domain was evolved from the domain of a Creation God, and now with the blessing of the Chaos Heart, unless a Creation God comes to release their domain, any other domain that challenges the Devouring Domain is just seeking trouble, shattering at the slightest touch!"
Ye Ling heard the World Annihilating Spirit Fire's taunt and couldn't help but tease, "Why are you so arrogant now? Weren't you just shouting for me to save you earlier?"
Being doused with cold water by Ye Ling, the World Annihilating Spirit Fire was instantly displeased. "Kid, don't bring up what I don't want to talk about. I'm like a tiger fallen to the plains, bullied by dogs. Otherwise, with a mere finger, I could crush a trash like Qing Bukong!"
The World Annihilating Spirit Fire was being stubborn, but Ye Ling didn't argue. He smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I know you were mighty before. Now that Qing Bukong's domain has been defeated by me, he should be getting serious. I need to prepare properly."
Right now, Qing Bukong was only using the power of a Chaos Sovereign, at most exerting fifty percent of his strength. Ye Ling crushing the current Qing Bukong was nothing to be proud of.
Once Qing Bukong unleashed his full Chaos Sovereign and Great Dao Immortal Lord powers, that would be a huge challenge for Ye Ling.
After all, Ye Ling didn't just need to defeat Qing Bukong; he had less than ten minutes remaining.
As expected, while Ye Ling and the World Annihilating Spirit Fire were conversing, Qing Bukong quickly accepted the reality that his domain was inferior to Ye Ling's. He no longer hoped for an easy victory and summoned his Great Dao Origin.
The four Great Daos of Time, Reincarnation, Void, and Annihilation manifested around Qing Bukong. A large amount of Chaos Qi surged from Qing Bukong's body and merged with these four Great Daos.
A dark river of Great Dao surged through the starry sky.
Under that supreme power, both the Soul Ruins and the Devouring Domain appeared incredibly insignificant!
Yue Qingning and Tai Yuan watched the black river of Great Dao with horror, sighing, "A black Great Dao... is this the combined power of a Chaos Sovereign and a Great Dao Immortal Lord?"
"This... is Qing Bukong's full power?"
Looking at the black river of Great Dao, Yue Qingning and Tai Yuan's souls were deeply shaken, their hearts trembling uncontrollably.
There had always been legends in the outer regions that when Chaos Qi and the power of Great Dao, two opposing forces, merged, a higher-tier power would be born...
However, no one knew if such a power truly existed.
After all, beings who could be both Chaos Sovereigns and Great Dao Immortal Lords were rare in the outer regions, and no one had ever seen these powerful beings in action, so no one knew what that legendary power looked like.
Now, as Qing Bukong merged Chaos Qi with the power of Great Dao, Yue Qingning and Tai Yuan completely lost their desire to fight.
They knew that in the face of such immense power, they had no chance of victory!
Even Ye Ling was a little surprised. He never expected the power born from the fusion of a Chaos Sovereign and the power of Great Dao to be so formidable!
The surging black river of Great Dao looked both dangerous and captivating.
Qing Bukong's aura began to soar. He looked at Ye Ling with a cold expression and said in a deep voice, "Ye Ling, you are the first, and the only one to challenge me across realms at a lower cultivation level, and also make me unleash my full power."
"Your talent might be more terrifying than mine. If you were given time, perhaps even the Remnant Evil Clan couldn't stop you... but unfortunately, I will crush you in the cradle today."
"In this world, there is no room for anyone more monstrous than me!"
As Qing Bukong finished speaking, countless monstrous beasts formed from Chaos Qi flew out from the black river of Great Dao surging around him, tearing towards Ye Ling!
And within those monstrous beasts, each one contained the power of a different Great Dao. The terrifying Great Dao laws contained within them were something Ye Ling couldn't even decipher!
After all... Ye Ling had only comprehended the Void Great Dao, and he had even forgotten that comprehension due to his study of a new cultivation system...
It could be said that each of those monstrous beasts, in terms of Great Dao laws, far surpassed Ye Ling!
And how many such monstrous beasts surged forth from the black river of Great Dao? It was countless!
However, Ye Ling showed no sign of retreat when facing the overwhelming tide of monstrous beasts. He once again condensed the Sword of Chaos in his hand.
A large number of platinum runes were inscribed on the Sword of Chaos, greatly strengthening it!
"Let me see... whether the Chaos Great Dao is more powerful, or these platinum runes are!"
Ye Ling's eyes narrowed, and the runes on the Sword of Chaos glowed with a dazzling light.
A large number of flying swords condensed from Chaos Qi manifested behind Ye Ling, and the blade of each flying sword, like the Sword of Chaos, was covered in platinum runes!
"Go!"
Ye Ling pointed his sword, and the flying swords behind him lunged towards the monstrous beasts filling the sky. In an instant... billions of flying swords collided with the monstrous beasts!
Screech! Screech! Screech!
Sword Qi crisscrossed the starry sky. Any monstrous beast touched by the flying swords inscribed with platinum runes instantly annihilated!
The swarm of monstrous beasts released by Qing Bukong, under the rune-covered flying swords, were surprisingly vulnerable!
"This, this... how is this possible?"
Qing Bukong watched as the monstrous beasts he had condensed with the Chaos Great Dao seemed as fragile as paper. He was completely stunned, his mind a blank slate!
Those platinum runes...
What power were they?
