"A big trouble..."
Ye Ling muttered, beginning to ponder a countermeasure.
Regardless of whether the orchestrator was friend or foe, or what their objective was, Ye Ling disliked being within a scheme.
Those inside a scheme are often blind, while observers see clearly. No matter what, he had to break free from this grand design first!
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire, seeing Ye Ling lost in thought, asked curiously, "Kid, the path ahead is shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see. Do you have any ideas?"
Ye Ling snapped back to attention, shaking his head. "The information I have is still too scarce. Although I don't have a concrete plan yet, I have a slight idea."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire inquired, "Tell me about it?"
Ye Ling said, "Destruction precedes creation. Since this scheme is laid out on the Eastern Profound Continent, let's first leave the Eastern Profound Continent. From a different perspective, we can observe this world and perhaps find a way to break the deadlock."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire was puzzled. "But aren't you investigating the affairs of the Demonic Palace? And the Heavenly Dao of the Eastern Profound Continent only has three months left. Where can you go if you leave the Eastern Profound Continent now?"
In the eyes of the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, Ye Ling was completely tied to the Eastern Profound Continent. Unless Ye Ling abandoned the entire Eastern Profound Continent, he could not escape this predicament.
Moreover, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire understood Ye Ling's character well; Ye Ling would not abandon the Heavenly Dao of the Eastern Profound Continent, nor would he abandon the Demonic Palace of the Eastern Profound Continent.
Ye Ling replied, "I will naturally handle the matters concerning Dong Gua and the Demonic Palace."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire was confused. "Wait, you've completely muddled me, kid. You want to leave the Eastern Profound Continent and also handle matters of the Eastern Profound Continent. What exactly are you trying to do?"
Ye Ling chuckled lightly. "Just watch."
With that, Ye Ling unleashed his aura, and his entire presence continued to surge!
Boom!
Golden spiritual energy erupted from Ye Ling's body, forming a dazzling pillar of golden light that pierced the clouds of the Eastern Profound Continent!
The beings of the thirteen states of the Eastern Profound Continent could all see the golden pillar of light soaring into the sky, their eyes filled with shock.
Witnessing Ye Ling's full power, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire exclaimed, "Kid, what madness is this? The current Eastern Profound Continent cannot withstand your aura. Are you trying to destroy the Eastern Profound Continent?"
Ye Ling did not respond to the World-Destroying Spirit Fire. He punched the ground, and the Eastern Profound Continent instantly cracked!
Bang!!!
Ye Ling's punch caused the already fragile Eastern Profound Continent to experience a cataclysmic upheaval. The oceans churned, unleashing monstrous tsunamis that engulfed the thirteen states of the Eastern Profound Continent.
At this moment, countless lives were plunged into misery!
"Kid, you've gone mad?" the World-Destroying Spirit Fire exclaimed in disbelief, completely taken aback that Ye Ling would personally destroy the Eastern Profound Continent!
Was this truly Ye Ling?
For a moment, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire began to doubt if he had followed the wrong person.
Lian Yin, standing nearby, also looked at Ye Ling with terror, retreating continuously and stammering, "Young... Young Master... you..."
Lian Yin never expected that the refined-looking Ye Ling would be a world-destroying demon!
Ye Ling, however, paid no heed to Lian Yin. He calmly covered the entire Eastern Profound Continent with his divine soul, quietly observing the final moments of its disintegration.
Finally, Lian Yin was also swallowed by the cracking earth, falling into the abyss!
"It's chaos! Chaos! Everything is in disarray!" the World-Destroying Spirit Fire cried out, still unable to accept reality.
Logically, world destruction should be the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's preference. However, after spending time with Ye Ling, the guardian of the universe, his interest in destroying worlds had gradually waned. He never expected... Ye Ling to hate it even more than him!
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire had also never imagined that Ye Ling's idea of leaving the Eastern Profound Continent was to destroy the entire continent!
Ye Ling's divine soul spanned the entire Eastern Profound Continent. The countless lives that became homeless and the piteous screams continuously flooded Ye Ling's mind, causing his negative emotions to escalate infinitely.
After hearing so many screams, cold sweat appeared on Ye Ling's forehead, and his heart grew numb.
However, Ye Ling showed no intention of stopping. He even delivered another punch to the Eastern Profound Continent, accelerating its disintegration!
In the various states of the Eastern Profound Continent, numerous powerful cultivators ascended into the sky, looking towards the direction of Baiyu State with shock.
"What in the world is going on? Which great being is shaking the earth veins of the Eastern Profound Continent?"
"The Eastern Profound Continent is likely no longer safe. We must escape quickly!"
"No! In the time of crisis for the Eastern Profound Continent, how can we live in苟且偷生? No matter who this demon is, we must fight him!"
In an instant, the Eastern Profound Continent descended into complete chaos. Some powerful cultivators fled the Eastern Profound Continent in panic, while others headed towards Ye Ling's direction, vowing to defeat this world-destroying demon.
The myriad aspects of life, the choices of the powerful, were fully revealed at this moment.
Concurrently, in the strongholds of the mysterious forces from the future, hidden throughout the Eastern Profound Continent, a group of black-clad figures also descended into disarray.
"What's happening? According to history, wasn't the Eastern Profound Continent saved by Ye Ling? Why is Ye Ling destroying the continent with his own hands now?"
"There is no record of this event in headquarters. Everything is in chaos!"
"Headquarters has sent an urgent message: all members are to evacuate the Eastern Profound Continent immediately and leave this era!"
A large number of black-clad figures began to become chaotic, activating their temporal jade and preparing to flee this era.
Ye Ling's sudden abnormal actions had exceeded everyone's expectations and completely disrupted the plans of these mysterious forces!
In the surging river of time, monstrous waves were stirred, and the past and future began to split, giving rise to countless new timelines.
"Nameless Void!"
At this moment, a faint voice echoed above the Eastern Profound Continent. Ye Ling unleashed the Nameless Void, enveloping the entire Eastern Profound Continent!
The crumbling Eastern Profound Continent, and all the living beings of the world, were frozen by Ye Ling.
Time on the Eastern Profound Continent ceased to flow.
Everything fell into silence.
Ye Ling stood in the frozen world, his divine soul rapidly scanning the entire Eastern Profound Continent. He soon detected abnormal temporal fluctuations existing in various locations across the continent!
"Found those guys!"
Ye Ling located the strongholds of those black-clad figures, his eyes gleaming with brilliance. He immediately teleported to the largest stronghold of the black-clad figures, where he could see, within a barrier that shielded all divine soul perception, a large number of black-clad figures orderly entering a temporal tunnel.
If Ye Ling had not used the Nameless Void to freeze the Eastern Profound Continent and perceive those flowing temporal channels, his divine soul alone would never have been able to find these black-clad figures' strongholds!
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire, seeing the black-clad figures within the barrier, suddenly understood. "Holy crap! You destroyed the Eastern Profound Continent just to find these guys?"
Ye Ling replied, "Yes... these forces from the future have overly bizarre methods, and they seem to have been rooted in the Eastern Profound Continent for a long time, altering the entire continent's structure. I could only use some special means to find them."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire sighed. "But you didn't have to destroy the Eastern Profound Continent, did you? Isn't the price too high?"
"Don't worry."
Ye Ling chuckled lightly, golden runes appearing in his palm. "Before destroying the Eastern Profound Continent, I used these runes to replicate everything in this world. Once I deal with all those who are disrupting time, I will use these runes to revive this world."
"Everything will remain unchanged. Except for the people from the future."
With that, Ye Ling used the runes to penetrate the mysterious forces' barrier and proactively entered that temporal tunnel!
