Ji Ning's expression changed drastically as Ye Ling prepared to detonate the Seed of Origin. He rushed towards Ye Ling, attempting to stop him.
However, Ji Ning couldn't grasp Ye Ling, who had entered a state of selflessness. Ye Ling had completely abandoned his defenses, allowing the ice shards from the spatial rifts to cut through his skin as he forcibly accelerated the detonation of the Seed of Origin.
"This brat! He's gone mad!"
Ji Ning sensed the Seed of Origin becoming increasingly unstable, and panic finally appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Although Ji Ning could completely evade the destructive power of the Seed of Origin's explosion, her ultimate goal in fighting Ye Ling was to seize the Seed of Origin!
It didn't matter if Ye Ling died, but the Seed of Origin absolutely could not be lost!
"Stop, stop, stop! Brat, don't be impulsive! I admit defeat, don't detonate the Seed of Origin!" Seeing the Seed of Origin on the verge of exploding, Ji Ning immediately retreated to a distance and called out to stop Ye Ling.
"Then senior, you first remove those spatial rifts, otherwise I'll be impulsive!" Ye Ling maintained the current state of the Seed of Origin and smiled at Ji Ning.
Despite Ye Ling's carefree, death-defying demeanor, he was actually sweating profusely in his heart!
If Ji Ning hadn't stopped him, he wouldn't have dared to detonate the Seed of Origin and die here meaninglessly.
Fortunately, Ji Ning couldn't hold on any longer and saved his life.
"Alright! I'll remove the spatial rifts now, you must not be impulsive!" Ji Ning didn't dare to provoke Ye Ling at this moment. She immediately withdrew her domain and removed the spatial rifts that permeated the heavens and earth.
The small wounds on Ye Ling's body quickly healed, and his aura began to climb again.
Ji Ning continued, "Brat, I can't kill you, but you can't escape my grasp either. It's not good to be at a stalemate here. How about we make a deal?"
Ye Ling was happy to stall for time and asked Ji Ning, "What kind of deal does senior want to make?"
"You give me the Seed of Origin, and I'll let you leave," Ji Ning said quickly.
"That won't do," Ye Ling refused without hesitation. "The Seed of Origin is my reliance now. If I give it to you, I will surely die!"
Ji Ning frowned, "Then what do you want? To stay here and drag it out? I have enough patience, I can stay here with you for a hundred billion years!"
"Senior, don't brag. Do you really think I'm a child to be tricked? If you really freeze Daozhou for a hundred billion years, I don't believe other supreme experts won't come to trouble you."
"Sword Thirteen's master could come at any time. Senior, guess, if he sees that I have a Seed of Origin in my hand, would he generously give the Seed of Origin to you?"
Ji Ning: "..."
After hearing Ye Ling's words, Ji Ning fell silent.
It was obvious that Ye Ling had hit the nail on the head.
She didn't dare to waste time with Ye Ling.
Sword Thirteen had lost his origin inheritance and had now completely perished. Once Sword Thirteen's master returned from the origin lower realms he was traveling in, he would definitely come to Daozhou to investigate.
At that time, she would absolutely not be able to keep Ye Ling's Seed of Origin.
Now, Ji Ning had completely regarded Ye Ling's Seed of Origin as her hope for further advancement. How could she be willing to hand it over?
Since Ji Ning had a desire, she had a weakness, and Ye Ling had accurately grasped this weakness, temporarily gaining the upper hand.
Ji Ning took a deep breath and asked Ye Ling, "Wang Li Ren, what will it take for you to give me the Seed of Origin? I'll do whatever you say."
Ye Ling smiled, "Senior, it's very simple. You just need to return the origin spirit fire guarded by my clan to me."
Ji Ning frowned, "The origin spirit fire has already been nurtured by my origin inheritance, how can I give it to you?"
"It's precisely because senior used the origin inheritance that I will exchange it with the Seed of Origin... In this way, even if I lose the Seed of Origin, as long as I have the origin spirit fire, I will have the power to protect myself," Ye Ling chuckled.
"Senior, anyway, Qing Zhu's origin inheritance is of no use to you. It's better to exchange it for the Seed of Origin, which is a treasure that can genuinely improve senior's strength."
Listening to Ye Ling's words, Ji Ning became conflicted again.
Indeed, Qing Zhu's origin inheritance was in her hands, and she could only create another supreme expert. However, two low-level supreme experts were useless in front of high-level supreme experts.
And the Seed of Origin was her ticket to becoming a high-level supreme expert!
Exchanging a supreme expert's origin inheritance for the Seed of Origin, anyone would choose to exchange it!
What's more, Qing Zhu's origin inheritance was a ticking time bomb, and Sword Thirteen's master could discover it at any moment!
At this moment, Ji Ning was tempted.
The two were silent in the icy, snowy land for more than ten minutes before Ji Ning took out the World Destroying Spirit Fire and said to Ye Ling, "Alright, I promise you, let's exchange!"
"It seems senior is a reasonable person." Seeing that Ji Ning had indeed taken out the World Destroying Spirit Fire, Ye Ling also smiled slightly and took out the broken Seed of Origin from within his body.
Ji Ning's breathing quickened as she saw the Seed of Origin in front of Ye Ling, then said, "Brat, I'll count to three, and then we'll both push our respective items towards the other, how about it?"
"Senior, you first remove the seal you placed on the origin spirit fire," Ye Ling said with a squinted smile.
"No problem."
Seeing that Ye Ling's mind was clear and he knew he couldn't be fooled, Ji Ning stopped playing tricks and simply broke the contract she had made with the World Destroying Spirit Fire.
After doing all this, Ji Ning asked Ye Ling, "Wang Li Ren, is that alright now?"
"It's fine, let's count," Ye Ling said with a smile.
Then, Ji Ning and Ye Ling counted in unison, "Three..."
"Two..."
"One!"
After they finished counting, neither of them pushed the Seed of Origin and the World Destroying Spirit Fire in front of them towards the other.
A cold wind blew, and the atmosphere in the air became awkward.
Ji Ning's face was somewhat unsightly, and she questioned Ye Ling, "Brat, what do you mean?"
Ye Ling smiled, "Didn't senior also not return the origin spirit fire to me?"
Ji Ning: "Can't we have a little basic trust between us? I am a supreme expert, how could I lie to you?"
Ye Ling: "I also know that senior wants to kill me!"
Ji Ning said, " I can swear to my inner demons that in this transaction, I will absolutely not make the first move, otherwise I will surely develop inner demons and be devoured by them! Is that acceptable?"
"Since senior is so sincere, then I have nothing more to say. Let's count again."
Ji Ning said coldly, "Brat, don't play any tricks, otherwise even if I don't want the Seed of Origin, I will kill you!"
"Don't worry, senior, let's count!"
Ye Ling gave Ji Ning an "ok" gesture, and then counted in unison with Ji Ning, "Three... Two... One! Exchange!"
As the words fell, Ye Ling and Ji Ning simultaneously pushed the Seed of Origin and the World Destroying Spirit Fire towards each other.
Ye Ling grabbed the World Destroying Spirit Fire, then fled towards Beastzhou without looking back, while Ji Ning, after obtaining the Seed of Origin, did not hesitate to release her domain, setting up a large number of spatial rifts in Daozong, and attacked Ye Ling!
In an instant, Ye Ling's skin was covered in wounds.
Ji Ning's eyes were filled with killing intent, and she said in a deep voice, "Wang Li Ren, you are useless now, die!"
Ye Ling put the World Destroying Spirit Fire into his wrist and quickly asked it, "World Destroying Spirit Fire, how much longer do you need? I'm going to die!"
"It's done! Leave it to this great one!!!"
The World Destroying Spirit Fire laughed heartily, and then a monstrous aura erupted from Ye Ling's wrist. Black flames quickly covered Ye Ling's entire body, burning away all the frost on Ye Ling's surface and healing his wounds!
The next moment, sword fiend energy surged into the sky, and golden swords entwined with endless black flames spread throughout Daozhou, burning away all of Ji Ning's ice shards!
"This is!!!" Ji Ning's pupils contracted sharply as she saw Ye Ling directly inherit Qing Zhu's origin inheritance after obtaining the World Destroying Spirit Fire, realizing she had been tricked.
That so-called origin spirit fire... was a complete lie from Ye Ling!
"Damn liar!!!"
Realizing she had been deceived, Ji Ning's expression twisted again, "Wang Li Ren, I will definitely kill you!!!"
Extreme cold air swept in all directions, freezing the sword fiend energy in the sky!
However, under the protection of the World Destroying Spirit Fire, Ye Ling felt no chill at all!
Ye Ling stood on the border between Daozhou and Beastzhou, turned to look at the enraged Ji Ning, and said with a light smile, "World Destroying Spirit Fire... the important task of reclaiming the Seed of Origin will depend on you."
The World Destroying Spirit Fire laughed heartily, "Hahaha! Leave it to me... I'm already fired up!!!"
"Old hag! Listen carefully..."
"My name is... World! Destroying! Spirit! Fire!"
