Hearing Ye Ling's words, Chu Yun did not hesitate and immediately put the Hunyuan Sacred Soul Pill in her hand into the sub-bag.
At the same time, the black shadow also opened its eyes. Its eyes were covered in black, and then Ye Ling's consciousness space became pitch black, making it impossible to see anything!
"Ye Ling!"
Chu Yun could no longer see anything clearly and immediately called out to Ye Ling. However, before she could get a response from Ye Ling, she stepped into nothingness and began to fall in the darkness.
"What's going on..."
Chu Yun struggled in the darkness. She, who did not need to breathe to survive, now felt a strong sense of suffocation, and her brain gradually stopped thinking.
Chu Yun's movements became slower and slower, her consciousness more and more blurred. As her consciousness lingered, she only saw an incomparably huge giant standing up in the darkness.
At this moment, a dazzling light bloomed in the darkness, dispelling all the darkness. Chu Yun was bathed in the light, the suffocation disappeared, and her consciousness gradually returned.
Slowly, Chu Yun suddenly felt herself falling into someone's arms. Those strong and powerful arms made her feel unprecedented peace of mind.
"You've worked hard."
Ye Ling put down the still dazed Chu Yun and smiled at her, "It's all over."
"It's all over?"
Chu Yun was stunned and looked into the distance, only to see the black shadow's body dissipating, with half of it turning into garbled code resembling blocks.
Seeing the black shadow's condition, Chu Yun couldn't help but ask Ye Ling, "What just happened?"
Ye Ling patiently explained, "That black shadow had indeed brewed a killing move in secret, preparing to devour our consciousness with darkness. However, before that, my customized future had taken effect, returning it to its most primitive state."
Chu Yun looked at the black shadow, "So, this is its most primitive state?"
"Uh... it's regressed by half. I've consumed all the power stored in the source text to activate the customized future, but it's still not enough to complete the transformation of the black shadow. However, in its current state, I can easily deal with it."
As Ye Ling spoke, he immediately flew to the front of the black shadow with the divine sword containing the power of the Seven Kings.
At this moment, half of the black shadow's face had turned into distorted garbled code. It was frantically activating the customized future, trying to reverse the situation.
Alas, Ye Ling had already removed the source text from the outside. The black shadow simply did not have enough power to change the situation and could only struggle powerlessly at this moment.
Ye Ling looked at the black shadow in front of him and said faintly, "This is the last time we'll meet. If you have anything to say, just say it all, so I can send you away with peace of mind."
The black shadow stared at Ye Ling with difficulty, opened its mouth, and said in a broken voice, "I... will... return..."
"Is that so... then that's truly a pity. I'll try my best not to give you this opportunity."
Ye Ling sighed and directly thrust the sword in his hand into the black shadow's chest. Then, the black shadow completely transformed into particles and entered Ye Ling's body.
The surrounding consciousness space all returned to normal, and the berserk black energy within Ye Ling also gradually calmed down.
Seeing the change in Ye Ling's aura, Chu Yun still found it somewhat unbelievable and couldn't help but ask Ye Ling, "Is... it over just like that?"
"Otherwise?"
Ye Ling smiled at Chu Yun, "The battle between me and it was over in an instant. Without your help, I would have been defeated just now. Thank you... you've been a great help."
Suddenly being thanked by Ye Ling, Chu Yun scratched her head shyly, "I didn't really do anything... By the way, how is your strength now? Do you know the source of those powers?"
Ye Ling replied, "After absorbing those black shadows, I can feel an endless stream of power within me, several levels stronger than before. However, I have only simply unearthed the power hidden within my body. As for what these powers are and why I possess them, I'm still unclear. I only know that these powers belong to me."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Chu Yun frowned slightly, "Can you control those powers? Has your thinking been affected in any way? After all... although it sounds unpleasant, your powers are somewhat strange and filled with ill omen."
Ye Ling: "You can rest assured about this. Those powers are no different from spiritual energy to me. I can control them completely and will not be affected in any way."
Chu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
Ye Ling: "Let's go out and talk. We've wasted so much time here, and there are still a lot of things waiting for us to deal with outside."
"Mm."
...
Within the Karma Mirror Domain, after dealing with the karma of the source text, he stood with Yan Tian, looking nervously at Ye Ling, who was meditating.
After he destroyed the source text, he felt Ye Ling's aura undergo a world-changing transformation. Then, all the black energy emanating from Ye Ling disappeared, and Ye Ling showed no signs of waking up from beginning to end.
"When will the master finally wake up? I wonder how Chu Yun sister is doing?"
Karma muttered. Just as he was getting more anxious, starlight emanated from around Ye Ling, and Chu Yun walked out.
Seeing Chu Yun come out, Karma was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Chu Yun sister, how is master?"
Chu Yun smiled and said, "You can ask him yourself."
Hearing Chu Yun's words, Karma was stunned, then looked at Ye Ling, only to see that Ye Ling had already opened his eyes.
"Mas... Master..."
Seeing Ye Ling wake up, Karma's eyes immediately became moist. Then, disregarding his image, he pounced into Ye Ling's arms, "You're finally awake!"
"Alright, alright... How old are you?"
Ye Ling somewhat disdainfully pushed Karma away, got up, glanced at Vivian and Auguha Gang who were still adjusting their breathing, and then said to Chu Yun, "I'll trouble you to take care of them here. I'm going to save Lan'er."
Chu Yun nodded, "Yes, leave it to me."
Karma immediately said, "Master, I'll go with you! I can help!"
Ye Ling: "Don't go and cause trouble. Stay here with Yan Tian. After Vivian recovers, you should return to the void first."
Karma was stunned, "We're going back, then what about master?"
Ye Ling chuckled, "Don't worry about me, I have my own ways."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ling disappeared from his original spot, leaving Karma stunned. In the end, he looked at Chu Yun, "Master, he is..."
Chu Yun shook her head and smiled helplessly, "Your master has finally broken through successfully, so let him show off a little."
"He is... very strong now."
...
On the edge of the battlefield, Bai Lan stood amidst the sea of insects, holding a black sword and struggling to kill the surrounding parasitic insects.
Although Bai Lan could sweep away large swarms of these parasitic insects, there were countless insect nests in the distance, and the parasitic insects were endless. Even with the black sword in hand, Bai Lan could not get close to those insect nests.
During Bai Lan's high-intensity combat, she did not notice that half of her body had been stained black by the black sword, and she was gradually merging with the black sword.
"These damned bugs, they're endless!"
Bai Lan cursed in a low voice, swinging her sword wearily.
At this moment, a giant parasitic insect was spat out by an insect nest in the distance and charged towards Bai Lan at extreme speed!
When Bai Lan reacted, the parasitic insect was already in front of her, and she had no time to dodge!
"Damn it!"
Looking at the giant parasitic insect opening its bloody maw, Bai Lan's expression changed slightly. She instinctively wanted to block in front of herself with her arm when the black sword in her hand suddenly erupted with terrifying energy, directly shattering the parasitic insect!
The surrounding sea of insects was also cleared by the power of the black sword.
Bai Lan stared blankly, then looked at the black sword in her hand and found that the sword had already fused with her arm.
"This sword has merged with me?"
Bai Lan looked at the sword fused with her arm and was stunned.
She carefully felt the black sword and felt an endless stream of power pouring into her body, making her stronger and stronger.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Lan'er."
Just as Bai Lan was confused about the black sword's purpose, Ye Ling appeared beside Bai Lan and grabbed the blade of the black sword.
"Master!"
Bai Lan's face lit up with joy when she saw Ye Ling appear.
Ye Ling grabbed the black sword and asked Bai Lan, "It was this sword that swallowed the 'Brain', right?"
"That's right!" Bai Lan nodded, "But I don't know why, it actually merged with me. I can feel the power of this sword constantly pouring into my body, transforming into my strength."
"I understand."
Ye Ling nodded slightly, then small source texts appeared around his palm, and the customized future began to spin.
The sword fused with Bai Lan was directly separated from Bai Lan and caught by Ye Ling!
"It separated just like that?"
Seeing Ye Ling easily take away the mysterious black sword, Bai Lan was startled and quickly asked, "Master, do you feel its resistance? It wanted to kill everyone before, but it had no hostility towards me, which is very strange."
"It was resisting, and I suppressed it."
Ye Ling replied calmly. He held the sword hilt, examined the blade, and then black energy wrapped around the long sword, saying, "It seems... your father was also used by evil. He was deceived."
Bai Lan was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Ye Ling: "This is your father's sword... and within it, the 'Brain' is not dead. I estimate that evil wanted to use you as a bargaining chip to control Bai Yue. It seems that 'Brain' guy... has completely become evil's dog."
Hearing this, Bai Lan trembled violently, and a monstrous wave surged in her heart!
