As Ye Ling's domain spread, all the dark creatures within were transformed into dark power and absorbed by the Devouring Domain.
Even the Seven Star Pillars and the Pillar of Shadows were no exception, all swallowed by Ye Ling's Devouring Domain.
The overwhelming dark power was transmitted into Ye Ling's body through the Devouring Domain. However, Ye Ling did not absorb a single drop of it, injecting it all into the Heart of Darkness.
Upon receiving the dark power, the Heart of Darkness began to expand.
As more and more dark power was injected into the Heart of Darkness, its volume grew larger and larger, with terrifying pressure surging around it, causing the surrounding space to show signs of collapse!
Tian Xing, looking at the Heart of Darkness suspended in the sky, couldn't help but purse her lips, her heart filled with shock.
Without the Lord of the Upper Realm, Ye Ling alone could probably kill all the dark creatures in the Chaos Battlefield...
Suddenly, Tian Xing felt that everything she had done before was meaningless. The only correct thing to do... was to pledge allegiance to Ye Ling!
If Ye Ling could achieve this, let alone Shan'e, who was behind Ye Ling.
The power on the side of the Lord of the Upper Realm was truly meager!
While Tian Xing was marveling at Ye Ling's strength, Ye Ling had already injected all the dark power he had absorbed into the Heart of Darkness. The Heart of Darkness had expanded to be larger than the sun, hovering in the sky above the great earth, blocking out the sun and the sky!
In the space around the Heart of Darkness, visible collapses had already appeared!
The number of dark creatures Ye Ling had absorbed with his Devouring Domain this time was enough to be measured in the billions!
Thump thump!
The Heart of Darkness began to beat, and the entire Chaos Battlefield seemed to be able to hear the beating of the Heart of Darkness.
Ye Ling placed his hand on the Heart of Darkness, closed his eyes, enveloped the entire Heart of Darkness with his soul power, and injected the power and characteristics he wanted to bestow upon the dark creatures into the Heart of Darkness, which was nurturing new dark creatures.
A moment later, cracks appeared on the surface of the Heart of Darkness, and a large amount of black mist surged out, spreading in all directions.
Wherever the black mist passed, dense dark creatures appeared.
Although the aura of these dark creatures was not weak, each of them was bizarrely shaped and did not seem very intelligent.
Tian Xing glanced at the newly born dark creatures below and couldn't help but ask Ye Ling, "Why do I feel like the dark creatures you create aren't very intelligent?"
Ye Ling teased, "If every single one of them had the same intelligence as you, how would they kill each other?"
Tian Xing was stunned, then replied with a smile, "Although it sounds a bit off, thank you for the compliment."
Ye Ling continued, "Besides, bestowing intelligence upon dark creatures consumes my own energy. I don't need to waste too much energy on these dark creatures."
Tian Xing nodded in agreement, "Indeed, there's no need."
As the Heart of Darkness created new dark creatures, those dark creatures began to kill each other, and a large number of dark creatures spread out in all directions of the Chaos Battlefield, hunting other dark creatures that had not been devoured by Ye Ling's Devouring Domain.
To accelerate the process of dark creatures killing each other, Ye Ling also set up a large teleportation array in Tian Xing City. Any dark creature that stepped into the teleportation array would be randomly teleported to various locations in the Chaos Battlefield.
For a time, a large number of newly created dark creatures spread throughout the Chaos Battlefield, and the entire Chaos Battlefield was thrown into complete chaos.
"This scene is truly a feast for the eyes!"
Ye Ling looked at the dark creatures killing each other below, smiled, and took the shrunken Heart of Darkness into his hand. He weighed it and chuckled, "I must say, this Heart of Darkness is truly a good treasure. It's a pity that the dark creatures it creates still have to be loyal to the Lord of the Upper Realm. Otherwise, no matter what, I would have found ways to play with these dark creatures."
The dark creatures in the Chaos Battlefield were almost inexhaustible. Even if Ye Ling could devour all the dark creatures with his Devouring Domain, the absorbed dark power would be a huge trouble for him.
If he absorbed that dark power, Ye Ling would become a puppet of the Lord of the Upper Realm.
And if he released that dark power, once the endless dark power spread throughout the Chaos Battlefield, it would be a devastating blow to the beings of all realms!
Without the Heart of Darkness to absorb all the power of those dark creatures, Ye Ling could not use the Devouring Domain so recklessly.
It could be said that with the acquisition of the Heart of Darkness, as long as the Lord of the Upper Realm did not appear, Ye Ling had completely solved the problem of dark creature invasion of the lower realms.
No matter how strong the dark creatures were, without organization and discipline, they were like a pile of loose sand. Beings from all realms with a little intelligence could easily defeat them.
Of course, what Ye Ling was doing was only a temporary solution. As long as the Lord of the Upper Realm appeared and created a new Heart of the Upper Realm to create new dark creatures, the Chaos Battlefield would return to its original state.
However, these were matters after Ye Ling went to the Origin Upper Realm, and he couldn't control them.
Ye Ling had done all he could!
Seeing that Ye Ling had finished modifying the dark creatures in Tian Xing City, Tian Xing said to Ye Ling again, "We have resolved the menace of the dark creatures. Should we go look for the Shadow of the Upper Realm next?"
Her most anticipated thing now was to see Ye Ling place the Shadow of the Upper Realm into the Heart of Darkness to create a new supreme being.
Ye Ling nodded and smiled, "Yes, but I still need to find the Pillar of Shadows who holds the Key of Chaos first. When I was absorbing dark creatures with my Devouring Domain just now, I didn't find that Pillar of Shadows."
Tian Xing was surprised, "The Chaos Battlefield is so vast, how will you find it?"
"Very simple."
Ye Ling smiled slightly, then took out the consciousness fragment of the Pillar of Shadows that he had saved earlier, using this consciousness fragment to locate the exact position of the Pillar of Shadows.
Seeing Ye Ling skillfully take out a consciousness fragment of the Pillar of Shadows, Tian Xing's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and she curiously asked, "How do you have a consciousness fragment of a Pillar of Shadows?"
Ye Ling replied, "Before, outside the Chaos Battlefield, I fought with a Pillar of Shadows. I obtained the Key of Chaos to the inheritance ground from him. At that time, he wanted to surrender, so after killing him, I deliberately kept a consciousness fragment of him."
"I originally planned to wait for the Lord of the Upper Realm to revive that Pillar of Shadows, and then use him as my spy. But now that the situation has developed like this, there's no point in him being a spy, so he might as well shine for me one last time."
After saying that, Ye Ling sacrificed the consciousness fragment of the Pillar of Shadows to locate the position of that Pillar of Shadows in the Chaos Battlefield.
"Found it!"
Ye Ling located the position of that Pillar of Shadows, and without a word, he directly tore open the void and completely devoured that Pillar of Shadows with his Devouring Domain.
In a very short period, all the power of that Pillar of Shadows was injected into the Heart of Darkness by Ye Ling. As the Heart of Darkness spat out another batch of new dark creatures, Ye Ling also obtained a Key of Chaos.
Tian Xing was somewhat numb to Ye Ling resolving a Pillar of Shadows from billions of miles away, and her heart remained unmoved.
She looked at the Key of Chaos in Ye Ling's hand and asked, "So, the Shadow of the Upper Realm is hidden within the Upper Realm inheritance that the Key of Chaos opens?"
"Yes."
Ye Ling held the Key of Chaos, sensed the location of the inheritance ground, and said to Tian Xing, "The inheritance of the Lord of the Upper Realm, like before, has fallen into the main timeline. If we want to go there, we have to leave the Chaos Battlefield. Tian Xing, do you know how to get out?"
Tian Xing replied, "That's simple. There's a teleportation channel to the Remnant Evil Clan in Tian Xing City. We can just go there directly."
Ye Ling smiled and said, "It seems we'll have to meet the Lord of Remnant Evil again."
