In the central region of Yinxu, the Insect Emperor, surrounded by a group of Parasitic Insect Emperors, calmly observed a small lake below.
There, at the very heart of Yinxu, lay its core, the most crucial spot on the entire continent.
"As long as this place is destroyed, the continent of Yinxu will collapse, and the barrier between the Void and its dark side will be revealed. Then… all that's needed is to destroy that barrier, and my dark side army will invade, making the entire Void my plaything!"
The Insect Emperor spoke coldly, condensing a distorted black hole in his palm and throwing it towards the small lake!
Buzz—!
The moment the distorted black hole touched the lake, a significant portion of the surrounding space was instantly shaved off, revealing Yinxu's core. Extremely high temperatures radiated outwards, immediately scorching many parasites.
Ignoring the scorched parasites around him, the Insect Emperor leaped directly onto the surface of the core and punched through it!
Boom!!!
The entire core of Yinxu instantly exploded, the vast Yinxu shook violently, cracks appearing everywhere. Countless parasites fell into these fissures, rapidly turning to ash under the intense heat of Yinxu's core.
Yinxu's sky turned a dark red, the land began to collapse, and the oceans surrounding the continent were evaporated by the high temperatures. The entire Yinxu was enveloped in white mist, and the parasites on the continent melted rapidly.
Meanwhile, in the Karma Mirror Domain, Ye Ling continued to meditate, seemingly unconcerned about the impending collapse of Yinxu.
At this moment, more and more insect nests flew out from the cracks in the sky. Countless parasites surged out of these nests, relentlessly attacking the collapsing Yinxu continent, using their own bodies to absorb the heat generated by Yinxu's destruction.
The overwhelming swarm of parasites melted within the mist that enveloped Yinxu, yet countless more parasites charged forward, creating a spectacular scene.
As a large number of parasites became cannon fodder, the high temperature covering Yinxu began to slowly decrease.
At the very center of the Yinxu continent, the Insect Emperor stood alone in the breached core, calmly observing a transparent thin film within it.
This transparent thin film was part of the barrier between the Void and the Void's slumber. As long as this film was pierced, one could freely travel between the Void and its dark side.
"Insect Emperor."
At this moment, a muffled voice came from the other side of the thin film, and then a face resembling a qilin appeared on the other side.
Seeing the face on the other side of the film, the Insect Emperor chuckled, "It seems you are ready on your end… You."
You said indifferently, "Enough pleasantries. The commotion from Yinxu's collapse is immense, and the Void will react quickly. Let us combine our strength and break this barrier."
"No problem," the Insect Emperor smiled. "Let's act together."
Boom!
As the Insect Emperor finished speaking, his entire body erupted with immense power, and a distorted black hole reappeared in his palm.
On the other side of the film, You also began to gather strength, preparing to cooperate with the Dragon Emperor to blast open the film in Yinxu's core.
The film here was the weakest barrier between the Void's dark side and the Void. Once it was breached, the other world could leverage this point to tear open a passage wide enough for the beings of the Void's dark side to travel in large numbers.
At that time, the armies of the Void's dark side would descend upon the Void, and with the Void's current strength, it would be unable to mount any effective resistance.
"Let's begin."
The Insect Emperor and You, positioned on opposite sides, spoke in unison. Both unleashed their strongest attacks simultaneously, striking the thin film fiercely!
Blinding white light erupted in Yinxu's core, transforming into a beam of light that shot straight into the heavens!
In the center of the Yinxu continent, a semi-transparent giant wall spanning across the sky appeared. On the other side of this wall, Yinxu had vanished, replaced by the armies of the other world.
And behind the armies of the other world, a colossal ancient tree was faintly visible, its roots spreading like a spiderweb across the darkness!
The Void and the Void's dark side, after countless ages, had once again drawn so close.
Ye Ling slightly opened his eyes, looking at the semi-transparent giant wall. His gaze remained as calm as still water, as if everything was still within his control.
"Dark side legions, the other world… and that Negative Tree. Bai Yue's undertaking this time is truly grand, managing to mobilize two supreme powers from the Void's dark side."
"Perhaps… Venerable's true form is also hidden somewhere, watching this scene?"
Ye Ling murmured to himself. He took a deep breath and stood up.
Chu Yun, seeing the Void's dark side through the giant wall, also opened her mouth, her eyes filled with shock.
"The Void… and the Void's dark side are actually connected. The other world and the dark side legions are also approaching in full force… Ye Ling, is all of this within your plans?"
Chu Yun looked at Ye Ling with disbelief, her body trembling slightly.
Even though she believed Ye Ling was capable of causing great trouble, wasn't the current situation a bit too immense?
Back then, a single insect nest had almost devoured her entire Star Chaos. Now, in Yinxu, there were countless insect nests.
And besides the insect nests, there were the armies of the other world, and countless gods and monsters from the Void's dark side…
With such a vast army, how could Ye Ling resist it alone?
Ye Ling looked at the armies on the other side of the giant wall and said to Chu Yun, "Chu Yun, do you know that the Book of the Void is sustained by legendary stories? Once its energy is insufficient, it will devour my life. And now… I have less than a day left."
"You!!!" Chu Yun looked at Ye Ling in shock. She truly didn't know about this!
Ye Ling, however, was unconcerned and smiled, "Although I have many ways to extend my time, as long as the Book of the Void is not satisfied, I am merely prolonging my existence."
"The current structure of the Void, the innate immortal spirits, and those rules… were all created by the Book of the Void's previous owner. Even such a being could not resist the Void's consumption. If I were to follow conventional methods, death would only be a matter of time."
Chu Yun stared blankly at Ye Ling's back and couldn't help but ask, "Is there no way to escape the Book of the Void?"
Ye Ling shook his head, "I estimate not… However, obtaining this Book of the Void is not entirely a bad thing. After all, while paying a great price, I have also gained corresponding authority."
"I can now guess about seven or eight out of ten of what Evil and Bai Yue are currently doing, and what I need to do now is to preemptively seize their spoils of victory."
"If successful, the threat of the dark side legions, the other world… and even the Book of the Void, I might be able to resolve once and for all."
Chu Yun pursed her lips, "Snatching food from the tiger's mouth in front of Evil and Bai Yue, can that really be done?"
Ye Ling looked towards the giant wall in the distance and chuckled, "Yes, you can. You just need to… believe in 'me'."
