"Master, just now..."
Bai Lan found herself back in the void, still somewhat dazed, and looked towards Ye Ling.
When the giant hand appeared, she had also sensed that gaze.
Even though the gaze was not focused on her, she felt an immense pressure, as if the owner of that gaze could easily erase her with a slight flick of a finger!
No matter how strong Bai Lan had become, capable of exchanging blows with "Brain" on equal footing, compared to the owner of that gaze, Bai Lan felt like she hadn't even left the beginner's village.
Was the gap really that vast?
Ye Ling came back to his senses and said, "It wasn't just you; I was also startled by that gaze. It seems 'Brain' is indeed a minor character in the dark side of the void. The true powerhouses haven't shown themselves yet... Our previous experiences are probably like child's play compared to those powerhouses."
"Is fighting that can influence Primordial Chaos considered child's play?" Bai Lan couldn't help but retort, "Master, isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"
Ye Ling: "I'm trying my best to stay close to the facts. Reality will only exceed our imagination. Moreover... even if we deal with 'Brain,' the challenges we face next will only become more difficult!"
Ye Ling wasn't trying to create alarm. Setting aside the other world and the dark side legions, the existence of "Evil" alone was enough to make Ye Ling tremble.
In the past, when Evil stood on Ye Ling's side, Ye Ling hadn't felt any pressure, and the runes and ink were used seamlessly. But now... when Ye Ling realized that Evil was on his opposing side, he truly understood what urgency meant.
After all, the runes and ink were merely one of Evil's methods. Ye Ling still knew nothing about what other methods Evil possessed.
Furthermore, he might face enemies capable of using runes and ink in the future.
Just thinking about it made Ye Ling's head ache.
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Bai Lan also realized that Ye Ling was not joking and took a deep breath.
However, Bai Lan quickly adjusted her mood and smiled at Ye Ling, "Regardless of anything, Master... we dealt with 'Brain.' This is our greatest victory to date. Even if the road ahead is arduous, we should still celebrate. Relaxing properly is important; if you're always tense, that string will eventually snap."
Ye Ling smiled at Bai Lan, "Lan'er, what you said is not wrong. Being constantly tense is harmful and unhelpful. At least we've resolved a major concern for now. As for tomorrow's matters, we'll find ways to deal with them tomorrow!"
Bai Lan said excitedly, "Yay! Then Master, shall we return to Primordial Chaos now and hold a huge party to celebrate properly?"
Ye Ling smiled and nodded, "That sounds good. Let's find Chu Yun and the others first, then return to Primordial Chaos. I've been out for so long, I'm starting to miss home."
With that, Ye Ling used Absolute Divine Speed, instantly teleporting away with Bai Lan to rendezvous with Chu Yun and the others, and return to Primordial Chaos together.
...
Meanwhile, in the void's dark side.
The battlefield ruins where Ye Ling and "Brain" had fought.
The monitors who had survived this battle had all gathered here to mourn the fallen "Brain."
A member of "Them" stepped forward in front of the monitors and declared loudly, "Gentlemen, our great leader, 'Brain,' has now died at the hands of the villain Ye Ling, and we are all displaced."
"For this deep hatred, we must seek retribution from Ye Ling, and Primordial Chaos must also pay a price for this."
"However, our strength is still far from enough. Therefore, before revenge arrives, we must lie low and wait for the opportune moment!"
As the "Them" member finished speaking, fierce flames of anger ignited in the eyes of all the monitors.
The monitors gathered here were all loyalists of "Brain," harboring endless hatred for Ye Ling in their hearts, constantly wishing to retaliate against Ye Ling!
However, just as the "Them" member was rallying the remnants of the monitors and preparing to leave, they were suddenly enveloped by a vast black curtain!
"This power..."
The "Them" member's pupils contracted sharply upon seeing the black curtain enveloping them, "Is this Ye Ling's power? He hasn't left yet?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the monitors present instantly panicked.
After all, they had all witnessed Ye Ling's might. Their leader, "Brain," was completely powerless against Ye Ling, who had mastered Origin Power, and could only be manipulated at will!
"I am not Ye Ling..."
At this moment, a young man who looked exactly like Ye Ling, with a smiling face, walked into the black curtain. He looked at the leading "Them" member and chuckled lightly, "To be precise, I am Ye Ling's inner demon, but that was my former identity."
"Now, you can also call me... Sin."
"Sin?"
The "Them" member's pupils contracted sharply. He looked at Sin with disbelief, his voice trembling, "Who... who exactly are you? And why are you here?"
"I'm here, of course, to have a lavish buffet."
Sin glanced at the monitors present, licked his lips, and his eyes flashed with chilling black light, "I've finally awakened, and I desperately need food to recover."
"And you are all my food."
As soon as Sin uttered these words, expressions of terror appeared on all the monitors' faces. They stammered, "Quick, run! That's a monster!"
Buzz—!
As the monitors spoke, the black curtain suddenly contracted, and all the monitors, including the powerful "Them" member, vanished in an instant, transforming into Sin's power.
"Ah... still not enough..."
Sin twisted his neck, his eyes turning completely black, "To reclaim my body and kill Venerable... this much power is far from enough."
A large amount of black energy contracted around Sin, condensing into a pitch-black cloak that concealed both Sin's aura and his appearance.
He glanced into the depths of the darkness and muttered to himself, "Ye Ling... before I recover, you must protect everything of mine. One day, I will personally take back everything I own... Who?"
Sin's words trailed off as a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He immediately looked to the side and shouted, "Come out!" Da Feng Novel Network
Endless black energy transformed into sharp blades and shot towards the darkness!
"Let's talk things out properly. Let's try not to damage our harmony."
Bai Yue, wearing a mask, emerged from the darkness and smiled at Sin, narrowing his eyes, "We have been waiting for your resurrection, Sin."
"Bai Yue?"
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Sin's eyes narrowed slightly, "You guys?"
"Of course." Bai Yue extended a hand towards Sin, "I just don't know if you're interested in joining us."
