An unbelievably powerful force erupted from Ye Ling's body. The black sword blade, which was about to pierce Ye Ling's brow, instantly melted. The living armor attached to the Black Knight's right arm also turned to dust in an instant!
The strange singing that had permeated heaven and earth vanished immediately!
"What!!!"
The Black Knight's pupils contracted sharply at the sight. He had no time to dodge and could only brace himself against Ye Ling's immense aura. He was sent flying backward, only managing to stop himself by relying on the Singer's song.
Ye Ling stood up, golden light swirling around him. His golden eyes seemed to discern all of the Black Knight's weaknesses.
The Singer looked at Ye Ling with disbelief, fear flickering in her eyes. She trembled, "How did Ye Ling's aura become so powerful? He's completely different from before!"
The Black Knight stared intently at Ye Ling, then seemed to realize something and exclaimed, "This guy absorbed the power of the Primal Martial King! He was delaying for time!"
"You finally figured it out!"
Ye Ling smiled at the Black Knight and the Singer, beckoning with his hand. Disregarding the cage formed by the living armor, he brought his heavily injured consciousness and the Primal Martial King's body to him.
After reclaiming his consciousness and clearing the residual living armor from the Primal Martial King's body, Ye Ling chuckled at the Black Knight, "Too bad, you've realized it now, but it's too late!"
Feeling the immense power Ye Ling exuded, the Singer's face turned extremely grim. She cursed the Black Knight, "You idiotic fool, if you had captured the Primal Martial King earlier and erased Ye Ling's consciousness, he would never have been able to absorb the Primal Martial King's power. None of this would have happened!"
The Black Knight felt quite aggrieved by the Singer's scolding. He didn't dare to retort and could only say, "Look on the bright side, Ye Ling's true form is now exposed. We've locked onto him, and he absolutely cannot escape!"
"With the two of us working together, even if he absorbed the Primal Martial King's power, so what?"
Even as the Black Knight said this, he felt a pang of doubt. The aura Ye Ling had just unleashed far surpassed that of the Black Knight, who had been enhanced by the Singer. The Singer herself was merely an auxiliary, with weak direct combat abilities. The Black Knight was unsure if he and the Singer could defeat Ye Ling together.
The Singer, however, maintained a semblance of composure and valued her life. She said to the Black Knight, "This assassination mission has completely failed because of your stupidity! We'll retreat and deal with it after the Twins arrive in the Primal Chaos!"
"Just retreat like this?"
The Black Knight's face was filled with unwillingness upon hearing the Singer's words. He had gone through great trouble to finally see Ye Ling's true form, only to retreat before even engaging in a proper fight. He felt his pride wounded.
"If you don't leave, I will! I don't fight battles I'm not sure of!"
The Singer had lost all patience with the Black Knight. She immediately gathered all the observers in the Extreme Martial Domain and prepared to withdraw.
"You think you can come and go as you please in this place?"
Just as the Singer was about to leave, Ye Ling's voice suddenly echoed from behind her.
"When?"
The Singer's pupils contracted sharply. She immediately turned around and saw Ye Ling, enveloped in golden light, had somehow appeared behind her.
"Go back!"
Ye Ling chuckled and delivered a fierce whip kick to the Singer's face.
*Crack!*
The violent impact instantly annihilated the gathered observers, while the Singer streaked across the sky like a meteor, crashing heavily into the ground of the Extreme Martial Domain! The vast Extreme Martial Domain was directly pierced by the Singer, and she flew from the other side of the domain into the Primal Chaos!
However, upon returning to the Primal Chaos, the Singer had no chance to escape before a large amount of Source Script condensed around her, freezing her in place!
"Wh-what kind of power is this?"
Seeing Ye Ling incapacitate the Singer with a single kick, the Black Knight was utterly terrified! He no longer cared about his pride and, without hesitation, tore open space, attempting to flee the Extreme Martial Domain!
"You can't leave either!"
Ye Ling's voice sounded behind the Black Knight again. The Black Knight, having anticipated this, immediately condensed a great shield behind him, preparing to rely on the defense of his living armor to block Ye Ling's attack!
*Thump!*
However, the Black Knight's living armor was as fragile as foam board in front of Ye Ling's fist. Ye Ling punched through the shield, shattered his spine, and sent him flying! The surrounding space instantly shattered, and the Black Knight also crashed through the Extreme Martial Domain, flying to the other side into the Primal Chaos, where he was also suppressed by Source Script!
The observers waiting outside the Extreme Martial Domain were stunned as they watched Ye Ling brutally beat the Black Knight and the Singer. They no longer cared about anything else and fled the Extreme Martial Domain one after another, daring not to linger.
Ye Ling flew out of the Extreme Martial Domain. He ignored the fleeing observers and looked at the Black Knight and the Singer, who were suppressed by the Source Script. He chuckled, "Black Knight, Singer... From today onwards, you two will become nourishment for the Primal Chaos, benefiting its myriad beings."
"I will express my gratitude to you both on behalf of all beings in the Primal Chaos."
Ye Ling smiled at the Black Knight and the Singer. Although theoretically, any being in the Primal Chaos could become the new Black Knight or Singer after their powers were absorbed by the Primal Chaos, Ye Ling already had two perfect candidates in mind. Tian Xing would gain all the Singer's power, and the World-Ending Spirit Fire would completely replace the Black Knight. With these two powerful additions, Ye Ling's side would pose a fatal threat to the very foundation of the observers' rule!
The Black Knight struggled fiercely within the seal of the Source Script, his eyes fixed on Ye Ling in disbelief. "Impossible... You only absorbed one Primal Martial King, how could your strength become so immense?" Facing Ye Ling, the Black Knight felt an eerie sensation, as if he were facing "the Brain" itself! Such immense power was simply unattainable for any being within the Primal Chaos!
The Singer, however, remained silent, quietly resisting the suppression of the Source Script, seemingly having given up all resistance. But this seemingly passive act from the Singer caught Ye Ling's attention. Based on his years of experience in schemes and stratagems, the Singer's current state clearly indicated she was plotting something big!
Without any hesitation or taunting, Ye Ling clenched his fist and struck towards the Singer, intending to end her life with a single blow!
"Black Knight, block for me!"
The Singer suddenly shouted. The Black Knight seemed to realize something and immediately shed all his living armor, condensing an unprecedentedly powerful shield in front of the Singer!
*Bang!*
Ye Ling's fist struck the shield. The immense impact turned the surrounding Primal Chaos into nothingness, and all of the Black Knight's living armor was instantly annihilated!
At this moment, the Singer began singing a tragic ballad, and above her, an ancient bronze gate appeared, slowly opening. From within the bronze gate, two figures slowly materialized.
