The atmosphere in the Karma Mirror Domain suddenly became somewhat delicate.
Ye Ling's aura grew increasingly cold and strange, forcing Karma to maintain a certain distance from him.
"Karma, what are you doing? We're running out of Star Cores!" Chu Yun's voice entered Karma's mind, pulling him back from his thoughts.
"Wait, I'll be done soon!"
Karma quickly replied to Chu Yun, then cast aside the words from "Brain." He began to craft Star Cores.
However, just as Karma was drawing the power of creation from the Source Text, the dark energy surrounding Ye Ling suddenly enveloped those Source Texts, severing Karma's connection to them.
Karma could no longer obtain the power of creation from Ye Ling's Source Texts.
"Wh-what is this situation?" Karma's pupils contracted slightly as he saw the Source Texts being frozen by Ye Ling's dark energy. He looked at Ye Ling incredulously, "Master, are you rejecting me?"
"Karma? What are you doing? The pressure on the front line is immense, and the Star Cores are almost depleted!" Chu Yun's urgent voice came again.
"Chu-Chu Yun sis! Something's happened..." Karma had never encountered such a situation before and was starting to panic. He immediately told Chu Yun everything that was happening with Ye Ling and what "Brain" had told him!
Among the group, besides Ye Ling, Chu Yun had unknowingly become the second highest authority. Karma instinctively wanted to rely on her.
"The person of original sin? Rejecting you from using power?"
Upon hearing Karma's words, Chu Yun was taken aback. Her brow furrowed, as if recalling something.
On the edge of the battlefield, Auguha Gang and Vivian, who were blocking the dark side monsters, noticed Chu Yun suddenly stop. They couldn't help but be distracted and sent a telepathic message to Chu Yun, "Chu Yun sis, is something wrong?"
Chu Yun snapped back to reality, handing over her remaining Star Cores and the mother pouch of the mother-child bag to Auguha Gang. "There might be some problems with Ye Ling. I need to go back. Use the Star Cores sparingly; the supply might not be enough from now on."
Seeing Chu Yun's expression turn serious, Vivian couldn't help but ask, "Did something major happen with the boss?"
"It's hard to explain! I need to go back and see!"
Chu Yun didn't answer Vivian directly and sped towards Ye Ling's location!
"Hey, hey! Chu Yun sis!"
Seeing Chu Yun leave them like that, Vivian wanted to chase after her and ask, but Auguha Gang stopped her. "Don't go back and cause trouble. We two will hold the line from now on. We need to give it our all!"
Hearing Auguha Gang's words, Vivian looked towards Ye Ling with concern, but she still took a deep breath and turned back to the monsters rushing from the distance. She said to Auguha Gang, "Although I don't really want to cooperate with you, the situation is special. This time, I'll reluctantly stand with you."
Auguha Gang retorted, "Do you think I really want to fight alongside you? This is an emergency!"
The two continued to bicker, but they also began to give their all, each unleashing their signature skills and blocking a swarm of void dark side monsters from the battlefield.
On the other side, in the center of the battlefield, within the Karma Mirror Domain.
Karma was still trying to figure out how to extract the Source Text from the dark energy.
Chu Yun broke through the ranks of the monitors and flew rapidly towards the Karma Mirror Domain, shouting to Karma, "Karma!"
Hearing Chu Yun's voice, Karma immediately reacted and opened an entrance on the Karma Mirror Domain for Chu Yun to pass through!
Boom!!!
The moment Chu Yun passed through the Karma Mirror Domain, a barrage of attacks from the monitors followed. Fortunately, Karma's reaction was extremely quick. He closed the Karma Mirror Domain immediately, doubling the monitors' attacks and reflecting them back, ensuring the Source Texts were unharmed.
"Karma, well done!"
Chu Yun gave Karma a thumbs-up and then looked at Ye Ling, who was currently shrouded in dark energy, her expression becoming extremely serious.
Seeing Chu Yun's serious expression, Karma couldn't help but ask, "Chu Yun sis, how is Master doing now?"
Chu Yun said solemnly, "His condition isn't too good. I can sense a power that shouldn't belong to Ye Ling appearing within him, and that power is trying to erode Ye Ling's soul."
Hearing Chu Yun's words, Karma was also stunned. He quickly asked, "Is this the influence of the Void Sword? That guy 'Brain' said the Void Sword is a key that will unleash Master's terrifying power and bring disaster to the Void."
Chu Yun replied, "Don't listen to that 'Brain' fellow talking nonsense. I've studied the Void Sword for a long time and haven't heard of it being a key."
Karma asked, "Then what is Master's current situation..."
Chu Yun frowned, "Seeing Ye Ling's current state reminds me of some things... Ye Ling's power, I seem to have seen it somewhere before... However, I only have a superficial understanding of those things, and I can't confirm for sure if Ye Ling's power is the same as what I've seen."
Karma asked, "So what do we do now?"
Chu Yun transferred the stored power of creation to Karma. "You use this power of creation to make Star Cores. Auguha Gang and Vivian are currently fighting the void dark side monsters. Their pressure is immense, and they need your help."
Karma accepted the power of creation and asked Chu Yun, "Then what are you going to do, Chu Yun sis?"
Chu Yun replied, "I need to go inside Ye Ling's body to take a look. You watch my physical body!"
With that, Chu Yun didn't wait for Karma to ask. She sat down facing Ye Ling and released a peculiar energy from within her body, connecting with Ye Ling.
The moment the power within Chu Yun came into contact with Ye Ling, the dark energy surrounding Ye Ling rapidly enveloped Chu Yun along the path of her power and then swallowed her!
"Chu Yun sis?"
Seeing Chu Yun suddenly disappear, Karma was stunned and cried out in surprise.
"I'm fine, you do your job!"
Chu Yun quickly transmitted a message to Karma, immediately calming him down. He began to create Star Cores using the power of creation.
Meanwhile, Chu Yun, having shrunk to a microscopic particle, stood within Ye Ling's meridians. She discovered that Ye Ling's meridians were completely filled with the dark energy, leaving no room for Ye Ling's spiritual power to exist!
"This power is too overbearing; it probably won't tolerate anything else in the world. Is this truly Ye Ling's power?"
Chu Yun looked at the flowing dark energy within Ye Ling's meridians, feeling a sense of dread just from looking at it.
"Ye Ling should currently be at a critical juncture in breaking through the third stage of the Void Sword. He might not have noticed the changes in his body. At this time, I must help him."
"First, I need to find the source of this power... perhaps that will confirm some things!"
