The Lingxiao Palace was in chaos.
Upon seeing Ye Ling return severely injured, all the immortals became terrified. Everyone was speculating about what Ye Ling had experienced.
After all, Ye Ling's strength was evident to all. The immortals could not imagine what kind of enemy Ye Ling had faced!
Fortunately, Ye Ling had given power to the Black and White Impermanence beforehand, and had also set up restrictions on his own body. Otherwise, if Ye Ling had passed out this time, many immortals present might have tried to seize his body.
With the Black and White Impermanence present, although the atmosphere in the Lingxiao Palace was tense, it did not completely collapse.
As time ticked by, Ye Ling finally recovered his residual soul within his body and awoke.
Seeing Ye Ling awaken, the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire immediately said, "You're finally awake, kid. What's the situation in the Time Ruins? How did you get so badly injured?"
In the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire's opinion, given Ye Ling's strength, even if he only had a soul without a body, there shouldn't be any existence in the Void organization capable of injuring Ye Ling to this extent.
Ye Ling regained his senses and replied, "It was Gui Que."
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire was shocked, "Gui Que is resurrected?"
Ye Ling nodded, then shook his head, saying, "It's like a resurrection, but not quite. Gui Que only has a wisp of a residual soul, no physical body. But even so, I couldn't kill him..."
"You still want to kill Gui Que?" The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire was speechless. "Do you know he is the Creation God? Even if he only has a wisp of a residual soul, he is not in the same dimension as you."
Ye Ling said, "I almost finished him, but I was ambushed by his soul-snatching threads. Now most of my soul power has been absorbed by him. Do you have any way to turn the tables?"
"You still want to turn the tables?" The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire was extremely speechless. "Dear, my suggestion is for you to flee immediately. The farther the better."
Ye Ling said with a wry smile, "Flee? Not to mention whether I would abandon this inner universe. Even if I truly abandoned this world, do you think the resurrected Gui Que would let me go?"
"I've made an enemy of Gui Que, and he will probably hunt me to the ends of the earth. Our only hope of survival is to nail his coffin shut while Gui Que is still weak."
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire sighed, "You have a point, but he is the Creation God, and you are too far from him. I can't think of any way to break this deadlock."
"No way..."
Hearing the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire's answer, a hint of disappointment flashed in Ye Ling's eyes. However, he was not so naive as to place all his hopes on the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire. He immediately sat down and began to meditate.
Seeing Ye Ling suddenly meditate, the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire asked, "What are you doing, kid?"
Ye Ling took out the Chaos Heart he had seized and said, "I'm going to absorb this Chaos Heart. If I can break through to Chaos Master, I should be enough to obliterate Gui Que."
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire exclaimed, "Kid, are you crazy? You're not even a Heavenly Void Emperor yet, and you want to devour the Chaos Heart? Have you forgotten what happened last time you absorbed the Chaos Seed? If you hadn't developed a new cultivation system, you would have died long ago!"
Ye Ling retorted, "You dare to mention it. Last time, when there was a problem, you just disappeared. Where were you then?"
"I..." The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire suddenly froze, not knowing how to answer Ye Ling.
Soon, the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire deliberately changed the subject and said, "Kid, I actually have a way to kill Gui Que. Although it's a bit risky, it's not as suicidal as you forcefully absorbing the Chaos Heart."
Ye Ling quickly asked, "What way do you have? You should have said so earlier!"
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire said, "Let me devour the Chaos Heart, and then I will lend you my power. At that time, you should be able to exert strength at the Chaos Master level, and your incomplete soul can also be replenished."
Upon hearing the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire's proposal, Ye Ling agreed without hesitation. "Since you can absorb the Chaos Heart, then you do it. The priority is to quickly kill Gui Que. I estimate he will soon discover that I have escaped back to Earth. Before he comes to Earth, we must return to the Time Ruins and kill him."
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire did not expect Ye Ling to agree to its proposal so readily and felt quite touched.
However, it did not rush to devour the Chaos Heart and said to Ye Ling, "Don't rush, there are still risks in letting me devour the Chaos Heart."
"What risk?" Ye Ling asked curiously.
In Ye Ling's opinion, the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire was currently one of his most trustworthy companions. For such a companion who shared life and death and fought side by side, Ye Ling was willing to give his full trust.
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire said, "Kid, don't think I'm being kind to you now. Once I devour the Chaos Heart and recover some of my strength, that might not be the case."
Ye Ling: "What? Could it be that your temperament will change drastically?"
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire said, "Yes... it's a drastic change in temperament. My strength is very weak now, which has caused my ferocity and destructive desire to dissipate a lot. But once I recover my strength, my lost destructive desire will return."
"My name is World Extinguishing Spirit Fire, born to extinguish worlds. Once I recover to the cultivation level of Chaos Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist destroying and devouring the entire inner universe. That is my instinct."
Ye Ling said, "It's okay, I believe your rationality can overcome your desires. Devour it."
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire sighed, "That's not a matter of belief, it's instinct, which cannot be suppressed by human power!"
Ye Ling: "But we will eventually go through this, right?"
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire: "This..."
Ye Ling continued, "If you want to recover your strength, you will inevitably go through this stage. What we are doing now is just bringing this stage forward."
"Since we will face this eventually, we might as well use your power to kill Gui Que first. When you truly can't control yourself, we'll settle our personal grudges. If I am truly killed by you then, I will accept it... after all, I owe you a life."
"You kid..."
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire did not expect Ye Ling to see through it so clearly and chuckled, finally saying, "Fine, since you've decided, I won't be polite anymore. Give me the Chaos Heart."
"Kid, I promise you, regardless of whether I eventually lose control, I will not harm you or the inner universe in the slightest until Gui Que is dealt with."
Ye Ling laughed heartily, "Then I thank you in advance!"
With that, Ye Ling placed the Chaos Heart on his wrist, allowing the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire to absorb it.
Hiss!
A black flame ignited on Ye Ling's wrist, and then the Chaos Heart slowly melted, transforming into surging energy, which was absorbed by the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire.
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire's aura involuntarily emanated, and all the immortals in the Lingxiao Palace showed fear and involuntarily knelt before Ye Ling.
At this moment, the aura emanating from Ye Ling...
Was like a true demon god of destruction!
