Chu Yun observed for a moment within Ye Ling's meridians. After confirming the direction of the black qi's flow, she followed it against its current, heading towards its source.
At this moment, Chu Yun's body had shrunk to smaller than a single cell. Coupled with the incredibly dominant power of the black qi within Ye Ling's meridians, Chu Yun found herself making agonizingly slow progress, facing constant peril.
"This guy's power is too overbearing... It's the first time I've experienced such immense pressure after entering someone's body!"
Chu Yun grumbled as she flew along the meridians, soon arriving at Ye Ling's heart region.
"Th-that's..."
Upon seeing Ye Ling's heart, Chu Yun's pupils contracted sharply, and a tempest of shock erupted within her!
Ye Ling's heart no longer resembled a heart at all. Instead, it was like a black hole, continuously devouring the spiritual energy within Ye Ling's body and expelling the overbearing black qi!
"It can't be wrong... I've seen this scene before in the Star Chaos!"
Chu Yun stared intently at Ye Ling's black hole-like heart, gritting her teeth so hard that her lips began to bleed.
This was before the Insect Mother invaded the Star Chaos, and before the consciousness of the Star Chaos had spoken to her.
At that time, somewhere within the Star Chaos, a massive black hole had suddenly appeared. This black hole continuously spewed out black qi, and the power of that black qi was incredibly dominant; anything it touched was devoured.
As the ruler of the Star Chaos, Chu Yun had an obligation to maintain its peace. Therefore, shortly after the appearance of that colossal black hole, she proactively went to deal with the crisis.
Fortunately, that black hole was unstable, and the black qi it released was not excessive. Chu Yun managed to resolve the black hole with little effort, restoring tranquility to the Star Chaos.
While dealing with the black hole, Chu Yun had vaguely glimpsed a figure within it. At the time, she had paid close attention to this matter, believing the black hole had not been completely dealt with and might return. However, subsequently, with the arrival of the Insect Mother in the Star Chaos, the black hole had not reappeared, and Chu Yun had dismissed it as an illusion, no longer giving it further thought.
Now, upon closer reflection, the figure that had appeared within the black hole back then bore a striking resemblance in build to Ye Ling!
"Impossible! The Star Chaos existed in an era so ancient that it's unfathomable. Ye Ling is from the Primal Chaos, and the era I inhabited didn't even have the Primal Chaos. How could Ye Ling have been there?"
Chu Yun shook her head, attempting to cast away all the chaotic thoughts from her mind.
However, looking at Ye Ling's current heart, which resembled a black hole, Chu Yun felt an overwhelmingly strong sense of déjà vu.
"What in the world is going on... Could Ye Ling also be from the Star Chaos? But as its ruler, possessing the authority to control the Star Chaos, I am certain Ye Ling did not exist within it. Something must be wrong."
**Boom!!!**
As Chu Yun was organizing her thoughts, Ye Ling's heart erupted with another surge of overwhelming black qi. The incredibly dominant power struck Chu Yun, sending her flying!
When Chu Yun finally managed to stabilize herself, she realized that her arms, which had been shielding her body, had completely vanished, as if devoured by the black qi!
"This is rather troublesome!"
Chu Yun looked at Ye Ling's heart with a grave expression. She did not possess the power of creation, nor could she restore her arms in such a short time. Having lost her arms, her strength had been significantly impacted!
With no other recourse, Chu Yun could only use her spiritual energy to simulate prosthetic arms to replace her lost ones.
**Boom!!!**
Just as Chu Yun had condensed her arms from spiritual energy, Ye Ling's heart erupted with another large mass of black qi, sweeping towards her!
"The frequency of these black qi bursts is increasing! Something must have happened to Ye Ling's body!"
Seeing the black qi approaching, Chu Yun dared not resist it head-on and immediately dodged to the side.
The black qi flowed along Ye Ling's meridians, heading afar. Wherever the black qi passed, Ye Ling's meridians were completely devoured!
"This black qi, it's crippling Ye Ling's cultivation!"
Chu Yun's heart leaped again as she witnessed Ye Ling's meridians being consumed by the black qi!
The black qi erupting from Ye Ling's heart was clearly attempting to reshape Ye Ling's body, transforming him into something entirely different!
"No! I must find a way to resolve this and prevent the black qi from transforming Ye Ling!"
Chu Yun pondered, beginning to try the method she had used in the Star Chaos to deal with the colossal black hole, aiming to destroy the black hole within Ye Ling's body!
However, as Chu Yun launched her attack towards the black hole within Ye Ling, Ye Ling suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning incredibly pale, and his aura becoming increasingly chaotic!
"Sister Chu Yun! What are you doing? Why is Master injured?"
At this moment, Yin Guo's voice reached Chu Yun, inquiring about the situation.
"Is this truly Ye Ling's heart? Or has it been consumed by an external force?"
Seeing that her attack had injured Ye Ling, Chu Yun had no choice but to stop.
Yet, even after Chu Yun ceased her actions, Ye Ling's body, perceiving Chu Yun as an external intruder due to her attack, began to spontaneously attack and reject her!
For a time, Chu Yun endured fierce assaults and immense pressure, nearly being forced out of Ye Ling's body by its power!
"Damn it! Ye Ling's body is starting to reject me! His consciousness isn't paying attention to his own body, and now I've become an enemy to his physical form!"
Feeling a grave threat within Ye Ling, Chu Yun cast another glance at Ye Ling's heart before ultimately retracting her divine ability and escaping from Ye Ling's body.
"Sister Chu Yun?"
Yin Guo, seeing Chu Yun emerge from Ye Ling's body covered in blood, her arms gone, exclaimed in shock, "What did you encounter?"
"The situation is rather complicated," Chu Yun replied with a grim expression. "Ye Ling has indeed awakened some complex powers. I can't quite explain these circumstances yet. Does it have anything to do with the Void Sword?"
"Of course, it does."
At this moment, the voice of "Brain" echoed once more within the Mirror Domain of Causality, drawing Yin Guo and Chu Yun's attention.
"'Brain'? What are you plotting?" Chu Yun immediately became wary, asking "Brain" across the distance.
"'Brain' laughs, "I'm not plotting anything, I'm simply telling you the truth... The Void Sword technique is a key, capable of unleashing Ye Ling's sin. If you allow Ye Ling to enter the third stage, I won't be the first to die; you will be."
Chu Yun retorted, "Stop spouting nonsense. Do you really think I don't know this sword technique?"
"'Brain' roared with laughter, "Hahaha! You've entered Ye Ling's body, and you truly know nothing?"
"Admit it, Chu Yun... Ye Ling is the original sinner who destroyed your Star Chaos!"
