You, seeing Ye Ling not only not intending to leave but also wanting to attack Fu Shu, became somewhat flustered. You quickly said, "Master, you absolutely cannot get any closer to Fu Shu. The closer you are to Fu Shu, the stronger its influence will be. If you are controlled by Fu Shu, Venerable might no longer be Fu Shu's opponent!"
"At that time, the Void and the Void's Dark Side will completely become playthings in Fu Shu's palm!"
Hearing You's worry, Ye Ling smiled and looked at Venerable, who was fiercely battling Fu Shu. He asked You, "Then judge for yourself, if I don't intervene, who do you think will win between Venerable and Fu Shu?"
"This..."
Ye Ling's question stumped You. He looked at the battle between Venerable and Fu Shu, his brows furrowing involuntarily.
Currently, Venerable appeared to be evenly matched with Fu Shu, often even suppressing Fu Shu. However, up to this point, Fu Shu had been continuously drawing power from the Void's Dark Side through its roots.
If Venerable continued to stalemate with Fu Shu, he was bound to lose!
"Why is this happening? Fu Shu's strength shouldn't be this great!"
In the past, after Venerable slew Sin, he would engage in a battle with Fu Shu and, with a slight advantage, seal Fu Shu, bringing temporary peace to the Otherworld.
But this time, the strength displayed by Fu Shu had exceeded the imaginations of both Venerable and You.
Ye Ling chuckled, "A variable has appeared in this cycle. It's only natural for Fu Shu to reveal its true strength this time, as Venerable was never Fu Shu's match... To put it bluntly, the reason your Otherworld has become the overlord of the Void's Dark Side and survived for so long is entirely because Fu Shu used you as a tool to temper Sin."
"A... tool?" Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, You was greatly shocked and found it difficult to accept for a moment.
Ye Ling, not intending to waste any more time with You, signaled to the World-Ending Spirit Fire and the World-Ending Little Fire, then rushed out of the Karma Mirror Domain and attacked Fu Shu!
Seeing this, the World-Ending Spirit Fire and the World-Ending Little Fire also used the runes Ye Ling had given them to conceal their presence and aura, approaching Fu Shu from another direction.
Venerable, who was intensely fighting Fu Shu, saw Ye Ling suddenly attack. A flicker of impatience flashed in his eyes, and he immediately reprimanded Ye Ling, "Scram! Don't get in my way here!"
Ye Ling was not angered by Venerable's scolding. He chuckled, "Venerable, in your current state, how much longer can you hold out against Fu Shu?"
Venerable said coldly, "That's none of your concern. If you cause trouble here and embolden Fu Shu, I won't hesitate to kill you first!"
"As you wish."
Ye Ling paid no mind to Venerable's threat. He looked at the Fu Shu Heart at the center of Fu Shu, his eyes surging with countless laws!
"Disperse!"
Ye Ling let out a soft shout. The Void Law took effect, directly tearing apart the Fu Shu Heart, revealing Da Nan, who was wrapped in a large amount of black energy!
Da Nan looked at Ye Ling in shock and questioned, "What is that power of yours? How can you tear apart the Fu Shu Heart so easily?"
A hint of amusement flashed in Ye Ling's eyes as he smiled, "As expected, you are merely someone else's experimental subject... Do you still remember how many times you've died by the Void series divine artifacts?"
"I... died?" Da Nan blinked, then scoffed, "What a joke! I descended to the Void's Dark Side countless epochs ago and have restarted the Void and the Void's Dark Side an unknown number of times. Who in the Void and the Void's Dark Side can kill me?"
"Indeed, you are just a deceived tool... Your only purpose now is to help me recharge my life balance."
As Ye Ling spoke, the Void Sword hilt slowly materialized in his hand, and all the surrounding energy twisted at that moment!
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Da Nan narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Ye Ling, you can only boast with your words now. I will soon make sure you can't even laugh!"
Venerable, worried that Ye Ling would be controlled by Fu Shu and make his already unfavorable situation even worse, immediately said to Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, this is between me and Fu Shu. You just need to retreat to the Void. Even if Da Nan empties the Void, with your strength, you will still be able to survive safely!"
"If you stay here, you will only make things worse!" Da Feng Novel Network
Da Nan laughed, "You want to run now? It's too late! Ye Ling, become my new puppet!"
As Da Nan's words fell, countless Fu Shu roots instantly coiled around Ye Ling. Ye Ling's eyes turned red, and strange black origin energy emanated from his body!
"Damn it! Truly useless for success, but excellent at causing failure!"
Seeing Ye Ling's transformation, Venerable couldn't help but curse, then immediately retreated, creating distance between himself, Ye Ling, and Fu Shu!
He seemed to have anticipated Ye Ling's fate and shouted to You, "Fu Shu is no longer something we can handle! Let's retreat first!"
However, just as Venerable was about to escape with You, the Fu Shu roots that had ensnared Ye Ling were instantly sliced into countless fragments. Then, a pure white, towering giant tree materialized behind Ye Ling, its dazzling light instantly illuminating the dark Fu Shu!
"That is!!!"
Seeing the Zheng Shu suddenly appear behind Ye Ling, Da Nan's pupils constricted sharply, and a storm of shock raged in his heart!
"That is the natural enemy of the Void, specifically used to restrain you!"
Ye Ling teleported in front of Da Nan, and the Void Sword mercilessly pierced into Da Nan's chest, shredding everything within him!
*Cough!*
Da Nan spat out a mouthful of black blood. However, before it could splatter onto Ye Ling, it was blocked by the Shield of Immortality.
The next moment, the Void Heart on Ye Ling's chest lit up with a scorching glow. Ye Ling then released the Void Sword and punched Da Nan in the face!
*Bang!!!*
Da Nan's head suffered no damage, but the Fu Shu behind him instantly exploded. All the Fu Shu roots spread throughout the Void's Dark Side were revealed. Under the sacred light emanating from the Zheng Shu, they instantly turned to dust.
Fu Shu, which had been rooted in the Void's Dark Side for endless years, was at this moment reduced to only the scarred Da Nan and the incomplete Fu Shu Heart!
Seeing this scene from afar, Venerable and You were completely stunned, their minds blank.
The Fu Shu that had troubled the Otherworld for endless years was shattered by Ye Ling with a single punch?
"Is... is this really Ye Ling?"
Venerable stared blankly at Ye Ling's retreating figure, pursing his lips, feeling his mouth dry.
Not long ago, during the Hidden Ruins Ranking Tournament, he could still easily crush Ye Ling. If not for Ye Ling's cleverness, he would have annihilated Ye Ling then and there!
How had Ye Ling's strength changed so drastically in just a few days?
"Could it be that the Emperor Ancestor mentioned by Bai Yue... truly exists?"
As Venerable considered this, a tempest of shock surged within him. "If that's the case, then isn't everything I've done just a farce?"
