In the Nameless Void, Ye Ling and the Primordial Chaos King faced each other, their auras locked onto one another. Any rash move from either side would be met with a fierce assault from the other.
Ye Ling needed time to absorb the power of the Primordial Soul King, while the Primordial Chaos King seemed to be strategizing something in his mind. Both remained in a tacit understanding of quiet, frantically accumulating strength.
Meanwhile, Mu Bai stood behind Ye Ling, frantically calculating the properties of the special symbols within the Heavenly Dao in his mind, attempting to find a way to deal with the Primordial Chaos King.
Thus, both sides fell silent in the Nameless Void, but the atmosphere within it grew increasingly tense and oppressive.
The Primordial Chaos King spoke first, smiling at Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, do you truly believe this King will allow you to absorb the Primordial Soul King's power without any hindrance?"
"Whatever tricks you have, you should use them. Words alone cannot save the Primordial Chaos," Ye Ling, completely unfazed by the Primordial Chaos King, continued to absorb the Primordial Soul King's soul crystal.
This was already the fourth time Ye Ling had absorbed the Primordial Soul King's power, and he was very familiar with the process. At this moment, he didn't need any protection; he could even complete the absorption of the Primordial Soul King while fighting.
After absorbing the Primordial Soul King's power, Ye Ling wouldn't care what the Primordial Chaos King did. He could completely transfer the Three Thousand Universes and then play hide-and-seek with the Primordial Chaos King at his leisure.
"Hmph! Ye Ling, your joy won't last long!"
After a chuckle, the Primordial Chaos King vanished from his spot and left Ye Ling's Nameless Void.
"Sir! He's gone! I can take this opportunity to search for a method to counter the Primordial Chaos King within the special runes in the Heavenly Dao!" Mu Bai said to Ye Ling immediately upon seeing the Primordial Chaos King leave.
Ye Ling said gravely, "Yes! Go, but be careful! The Primordial Chaos King is the strongest Primordial King, and he has also received the blessing of the Primordial Chaos King's mysterious power. What we see is likely just the tip of the iceberg of his strength!"
Although Ye Ling had been mocking the Primordial Chaos King verbally, belittling him as worthless, he knew very well that the Primordial Chaos King's difficulty to deal with was likely higher than the other six Primordial Kings combined!
Confronting the Primordial Chaos King, even the slightest carelessness could lead to a complete loss!
"Mm... I will be careful!"
After replying to Ye Ling, Mu Bai immediately went to Earth's Heavenly Dao, brought up the console again, and began researching the Primordial Chaos King's special symbols.
The Nameless Void fell silent.
Ye Ling carefully inspected the internal space of the Nameless Void, confirming that the Primordial Chaos King's power had left the area. He then focused most of his energy on absorbing the Primordial Soul King's soul crystal.
In the consciousness space, the Primordial Soul King's power was merging with Ye Ling's special runes, and Ye Ling's soul power strength surged once again!
The Primordial Chaos King's power did not bother Ye Ling again, and Ye Ling's absorption of the Primordial Soul King's power was surprisingly smooth.
However, the smoother Ye Ling's absorption of the Primordial Soul King's power was, the more uneasy he felt.
The Primordial Chaos King was not a fool. On the contrary, through several encounters with the Primordial Chaos King, Ye Ling could tell that he was a meticulous, exceptionally insidious, and cunning individual!
The Primordial Chaos King would never allow Ye Ling to easily absorb the Primordial Soul King's power... unless the killing blow the Primordial Chaos King was preparing also accounted for Ye Ling absorbing the Primordial Soul King's power!
However, Ye Ling could not abandon his goal due to potential risks. His most urgent need was to obtain the Primordial Soul King's power and become the Primordial Soul Emperor. He could not give up the Primordial Soul King's power just because the Primordial Chaos King was plotting something behind the scenes!
After all, the enemies Ye Ling currently needed to deal with were not just the Primordial Chaos King, but also the large group of watchers outside the Time-Hidden Universe, and the "Foot" leading them!
To deal with these enemies simultaneously, Ye Ling's greatest need was power.
And what could allow Ye Ling to break through in a short period was only the Primordial Soul King's soul crystal!
No matter what the Primordial Chaos King's scheme was, Ye Ling had no choice.
On the other side, Mu Bai was also doing his best in his own way.
His strength was low, and in terms of combat power, he couldn't help much in the struggle between Ye Ling and the Primordial Chaos King. Currently, the only way he could help Ye Ling was with his intellect.
"These special symbols in Earth's Heavenly Dao must hide the Primordial Chaos King's secrets. I must find them!"
Mu Bai muttered to himself, translating all the special symbols in Earth's Heavenly Dao into the original text, then filtering out the information related to the game, and extracting only the information about the Seven Primordial Kings.
The vast majority of the special symbols within Earth's Heavenly Dao were auxiliary functions for the operation of "The Judgment of Good and Evil," while the few non-functioning special symbols were all related to the Seven Primordial Kings.
Mu Bai believed that these were definitely clues deliberately left behind.
"Seven special symbols, each representing one of the Seven Primordial Kings, and each special symbol possesses the corresponding Primordial King's power. King Yan's fire, King Soul's soul, King Ming's life and death force... No, these seven symbols..."
As Mu Bai observed the special symbols of the Seven Primordial Kings, he suddenly discovered something, his pupils contracting sharply. He immediately placed the special symbol of the Primordial Chaos King in the center, and then began to move the special symbols of the other six Primordial Kings himself.
Mu Bai discovered that the special symbols representing the other six Primordial Kings all had a corner that could perfectly fit into the special symbol representing the Primordial Chaos King!
Mu Bai's pupils trembled, sweat beading on his forehead. With trembling hands, he fitted one Primordial King's special symbol after another onto the Primordial Chaos King's special symbol!
As Mu Bai pieced the seven special symbols together, the special symbol of the Primordial Chaos King suddenly turned black, and then all the special symbols of the Primordial Kings turned black, combining with the Primordial Chaos King's special symbol to form a super-large Primordial King symbol.
"This is..."
Mu Bai looked at the new special symbol before him, his eyes widening in horror. He turned to Ye Ling and exclaimed, "The Primordial Chaos King can also absorb the power of the other six Primordial Kings! He is waiting for Master to finish absorbing the Primordial Soul King's power, and then reap the benefits?"
Realizing this, Mu Bai immediately shouted to Ye Ling, "Sir! I know what the Primordial Chaos King is planning, he wants to..."
Boom!!!
Before Mu Bai could finish speaking, Ye Ling completed the absorption of the Primordial Soul King's power, officially advancing to the Primordial Soul Emperor!
A powerful soul force erupted from Ye Ling's body, and his perception range instantly expanded to encompass the entire Primordial Chaos!
And at this very moment...
The black energy belonging to the Primordial Chaos King suddenly manifested above Ye Ling!
