The moment Ye Ling entered the sea of parasites, the surrounding parasites went mad, biting at him with frenzied intensity, a truly shocking sight!
However, enveloped by the White Emperor Flame, no parasite could breach his defenses. He moved like a beam of sword light, tearing a massive opening in the sea of insects and plunging into its depths.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Suddenly, a piercing shriek surged directly towards Ye Ling, the intense, grating sound wave seeming poised to shatter his eardrums!
"Karma Mirror Domain!"
Facing the ear-splitting scream, Ye Ling did not hesitate. He immediately activated his Karma Mirror Domain, reflecting the potent sound wave back with double its intensity!
Boom!!!
The sound wave spread out before Ye Ling. Every parasite it touched instantly exploded into bloody mist!
Where the sound wave passed, it was like a blackboard eraser, wiping away countless parasites.
Soon, the swarm ahead of Ye Ling was cleared, and his vision broadened considerably.
It was at this moment that, in the center of Ye Ling's field of vision, a woman appeared. She wore tattered black clothes, was shrouded in black mist, had sharp nails on her fingers, and her hair was dishevelled.
"Is that the commander of this swarm? Her aura is truly bizarre..."
Ye Ling sensed an incredibly evil and strange aura from the woman and became vigilant. He immediately activated his Karma Mirror Domain, simultaneously pushing his perception of the future to its limit, ready to engage at any moment.
At this point, the woman slowly raised her head, staring at Ye Ling with a pair of utterly black, hollow eyes. The black mist swirling around her grew denser.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the dense black mist enveloping the woman was actually composed entirely of black insect eggs!
The insect eggs surrounding the woman at this moment numbered in the tens of billions!
"Those... are all insect eggs?" Ye Ling's pupils contracted slightly as he realized what constituted the black mist around the woman.
"Die!"
At this moment, the woman uttered a hoarse "Die." Countless parasites surged forth from the insect eggs around her, and those tiny parasites rapidly swelled at a visible rate!
In mere seconds, the surroundings were filled with parasites, and Ye Ling was once again surrounded by the swarm.
What's more, Ye Ling couldn't understand why these parasites were unaffected by the Karma Mirror Domain and could approach him with impunity. Ye Ling could only use the White Emperor Flame to incinerate them!
Although the parasites were incredibly bizarre, they posed no significant threat to Ye Ling. At this moment, Ye Ling's attention was not on the parasites but on the mysterious woman who had released them.
It was clear that the woman was the mother of these parasites, and the crisis facing the Chuanyuan Realm all stemmed from her!
"Creatures of the dark side, truly one is more troublesome than the next!"
Ye Ling muttered under his breath, then noticed that the mysterious woman who had been facing him had vanished into thin air, leaving him alone in the sea of insects.
"She ran?"
Ye Ling was slightly startled, then felt a sharp pain in his chest as a piece of his heart was inexplicably bitten off!
"I didn't foresee this, and the Karma Mirror Domain didn't react... Could this woman have attacked me from the past?"
Ye Ling realized that a piece of his heart had suddenly been bitten off, and immediately understood that he was not being attacked in the present.
Previously, when he fought against the dark creature Star of Darkness, Star of Darkness had attacked his past. Now, encountering this situation again, he had gained corresponding experience.
Without any hesitation, Ye Ling immediately reviewed his memories, searching for the whereabouts of the mysterious woman.
As expected, Ye Ling found traces of the woman's attack within his past memories.
"As expected! That woman was also attacking me in my past. Could all dark side creatures do this?" As Ye Ling discovered he had been attacked in the past, he also identified a loophole in the Karma Mirror Domain.
While the Karma Mirror Domain could reflect all attacks, its protective range was limited to the present and could not encompass his past before he obtained the Karma Mirror Domain.
This meant that as long as an enemy attacked from the past, Ye Ling's Karma Mirror Domain would be as good as useless, offering no protection.
Perhaps the parasites were also related to spacetime, which allowed them to disregard the Karma Mirror Domain.
"I didn't expect the Karma Mirror Domain to have such a weakness... But this shouldn't just be a problem with the Karma Mirror Domain. Other karma techniques might also be affected by spacetime. I'll need to find time to study this thoroughly, and I can't rely too heavily on the Karma Mirror Domain anymore."
Ye Ling muttered to himself. Although very few beings could attack his past, once he encountered one, it could cause him immense trouble.
He couldn't always be on the defensive.
"I've now encountered two void dark side creatures capable of attacking my past. In the future, I need to devise a method to protect my past as well, otherwise, being attacked every time will eventually lead to a fatal blow."
Upon discovering that his past had been attacked, Ye Ling did not feel anxious. He immediately condensed his Origin Text, preparing to customize his past and launch a counterattack.
Now, Ye Ling's experience and strength far surpassed when he dealt with Star of Darkness. It would be effortless for him to repair his physical injuries and capture the mysterious woman in the past.
This time, Ye Ling did not repair his injuries immediately. Instead, he chose to slowly weave a large net within his past, waiting for the mysterious woman to reappear before delivering a fatal blow.
At this moment, Ye Ling was like a hunter patiently waiting for his prey.
Thus, in the void, Ye Ling stood alone within the sea of insects, enduring the pain of his missing heart, quietly awaiting his opportunity.
Not long after, the woman who had released the parasites could no longer hold back. She once again extended her claws into Ye Ling's past, striking at the infant Ye Ling!
"Got you!"
Ye Ling's figure appeared before the mysterious woman, seizing her arm!
The mysterious woman seemed not to have expected to be captured within Ye Ling's past memories. A trace of horror flickered in her hollow eyes. She immediately released a large number of insect eggs, and her body began to etherealize, appearing as if she intended to escape from Ye Ling's past memories.
However, Ye Ling was prepared for this. The Ink Chamber rose within Ye Ling's past memories, quickly enveloping the mysterious woman's body and decomposing her into text.
Ye Ling swiftly added several lines of text to the mysterious woman's attributes. After confirming that the mysterious woman could no longer pose a threat to him, he pulled her out of his past, back to the present, and sealed her with runes.
After Ye Ling had suppressed the mysterious woman with runes, he began to review the information he had obtained from her.
"Bug Mother... one of the overlords of the void dark side, her strength is equivalent to a ruler in the void. Speaking of which, her status is similar to mine, it's just a pity she was tricked by me."
As Ye Ling browsed the Bug Mother's information, he manipulated her to self-destruct the parasites surrounding the Chuanyuan Realm, thereby alleviating the pressure on the realm.
However, as Ye Ling was studying the Bug Mother, she suddenly let out an incredibly piercing shriek.
Ye Ling's Karma Mirror Domain reflected the sound wave emitted by the Bug Mother. However, this time the reflected sound wave spread out in all directions, with a considerable portion of its power surging towards the Chuanyuan Realm!
"This!!!" Ye Ling looked at the sound wave reflected towards the Chuanyuan Realm, his pupils contracting sharply. "There's more than just the Bug Mother coming?"
