The Shadow of the Upper Realm paused, turning its head to see Ye Ling suspended in the void, surrounded by dark power, his eyes unfathomably deep, as if containing a galaxy.
The extremely weakened World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire looked at Ye Ling, surprise flashing in its eyes, and quickly exclaimed, "Kid, did you deal with the second personality?"
Ye Ling smiled at the World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire, "Although it took some effort, it's finally resolved. I should be able to intervene now, right?"
World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire: "Not too late, not too late! Hurry and save me from this lunatic, he's a pervert!"
Ye Ling chuckled, "Wait a moment, I'll save you right away!"
Seeing that the Shadow of the Upper Realm and Ye Ling were ignoring him and conversing amongst themselves, its entire face turned so grim it seemed to drip water, rage burning in its eyes.
"You two, do you really think I don't exist?"
Boom!
The Shadow of the Upper Realm roared lowly, its aura erupting, directly interrupting the conversation between the World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire and Ye Ling.
Ye Ling felt the aura erupting from the Shadow of the Upper Realm, his expression unchanged, and asked it, "As the brother of the Lord of the Upper Realm, is this all you've got?"
The Shadow of the Upper Realm coldly said to Ye Ling, "And what are you? Dare to speak to me like that?"
"Me… I can be your grandfather!" Ye Ling chuckled and vanished from his spot instantly!
Seeing Ye Ling suddenly disappear, the pupils of the Shadow of the Upper Realm constricted sharply, and it immediately looked around, exclaiming, "Where did he go?"
Its eyes couldn't keep up with Ye Ling's speed?
Just as the Shadow of the Upper Realm was searching for Ye Ling's trace, a blood-red mark suddenly appeared on its wrist, and then the hand that was gripping the World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire flew off!
Ye Ling reappeared, grabbed the hand of the Shadow of the Upper Realm, retrieved the World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire, and then threw the hand back to the Shadow of the Upper Realm, sneering, "The dignified Shadow of the Upper Realm, is this all you're capable of?"
Hearing Ye Ling's taunt, the Shadow of the Upper Realm didn't get angry. It took its severed hand, reattached it to its wrist, and said to Ye Ling, "Good kid, it seems you have some skill. I underestimated you…"
"However, don't get too arrogant. My current strength is less than one ten-thousandth of my peak. Your ability to defeat me now is merely taking advantage of my weakened state."
"If we were to fight to the death, you would surely die."
Ye Ling laughed, "Even at this one ten-thousandth of your strength, you're still stealing our power… No matter how glorious and powerful you were in the past, you are now just a thief who can't see the light, a thief that I can easily control."
The Shadow of the Upper Realm laughed, "A sharp-tongued brat. I wonder if you'll still be laughing later!"
Thump thump!
As soon as the Shadow of the Upper Realm finished speaking, its heart suddenly beat twice, and the sound of its heartbeat could be heard throughout the entire space.
The World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire, back in Ye Ling's wrist, heard the Shadow of the Upper Realm's heartbeat and quickly said to Ye Ling, "Kid, stop pretending. The Shadow of the Upper Realm is activating its entire body. Its strength will surge soon. It won't be long before you're no match for it. Hurry and finish it off!"
Ye Ling, however, didn't take the World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire's words seriously, chuckling, "It's fine. I actually want to see how strong this Shadow of the Upper Realm can become… After all, it's an existence on the same level as the Lord of the Upper Realm. It would be a shame to kill it just like that."
The World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire stared at Ye Ling in shock, as if it had heard something incredible, and asked tremblingly, "K-kid… did I hear that right? You want to watch the Shadow of the Upper Realm get stronger?"
"Since when did you become so honorable?"
In the eyes of the World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire, Ye Ling was the kind of person who was dedicated to nipping danger in the bud, ambushing when possible, and finishing opponents instantly, never dragging things out.
Actions like letting an enemy grow stronger and then fighting them fair and square were simply impossible for Ye Ling.
The World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire incredulously asked, "Kid, are you really Ye Ling?"
Ye Ling didn't respond to the World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire. He simply watched the Shadow of the Upper Realm, whose aura was rapidly increasing, with a peculiar excitement in his eyes.
"I'm back… all my power is returning!" Seeing that Ye Ling wasn't stopping him, the Shadow of the Upper Realm became even more elated. It felt power surging into its body continuously, a look of intoxication on its face.
The Shadow of the Upper Realm spread its arms wide, took a deep breath, unfurled its six wings, and its giant scythe transformed into liquid, coiling around its arm.
It smiled at Ye Ling, "Kid… my strength has recovered to one-thousandth now. Do you regret it?"
Ye Ling carefully examined the Shadow of the Upper Realm and shook his head, "No, still not enough. Can you get any stronger? Or is that so-called Upper Realm Orb only capable of giving you this much power?"
The Shadow of the Upper Realm chuckled, "Of course not… it's just that I was afraid you'd get impatient. If you still think it's not enough, I can become even stronger!"
Ye Ling lightly smiled, "Then keep going. Let me see your limit."
The Shadow of the Upper Realm narrowed its eyes, "Kid, you're too arrogant…"
With that, the Shadow of the Upper Realm accelerated its blood circulation again, its aura surging once more.
The World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at Ye Ling, "Kid, are you crazy? The Shadow of the Upper Realm's strength is almost surpassing yours, and you're just watching? What are you planning?"
Ye Ling still didn't respond to the World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire, merely watching the Shadow of the Upper Realm grow stronger.
"Oh my… my great-uncle, what exactly do you want to do? Just tell me, please! I'm dying of anxiety!"
Seeing that Ye Ling completely ignored him, the World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire was almost in tears. However, it was no match for the Shadow of the Upper Realm and could only watch helplessly as it grew stronger, its heart filled with worry.
Rumble…
The Shadow of the Upper Realm's aura grew stronger and stronger, the entire space vibrating violently, and the surrounding space began to crack!
The World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire exclaimed in terror, "It's over, it's over… this inheritance space can barely withstand the Shadow of the Upper Realm's aura. Once it gets out, the entire realm, inside and out, will be in danger. We'll have to wait for Good and Evil to save the day!"
At this moment, the Shadow of the Upper Realm's power had recovered to one percent of its peak. Its aura's intensity had already surpassed what the World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire could comprehend, and even surpassed Ye Ling!
"Kid, let's escape! We definitely can't handle this Shadow of the Upper Realm!"
Ye Ling still didn't respond to the World-Extinguishing Spirit Fire, continuing to ask the Shadow of the Upper Realm, "Is this your current peak?"
"Hahaha! I find I'm starting to like your arrogance, kid! Although killing you is effortless for me now, since you've pleased me, I'll let you have a good look at the limit I can reach now!"
Boom!!!
The Shadow of the Upper Realm roared with laughter. It directly unleashed all its restraints, and its aura surged once more!
The entire inheritance space shattered at that instant!
The Shadow of the Upper Realm's body grew ten thousand times larger, and violent dark power surged from within it, sweeping across the surroundings.
Ye Ling looked at the Shadow of the Upper Realm in its current state, a slight smile curving his lips.
Enough.
He glanced at the reattached wrist of the Shadow of the Upper Realm, his eyes filled with increasing amusement, and chuckled, "All power, no brains, utterly arrogant, a complete fool. No wonder the Lord of the Upper Realm toyed with you to death."
"My second personality, it's your turn to perform…"
