At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Bai Lan's mind.
The malice in her master's eyes, the deep sorrow within her heart, and the despair of being abandoned…
Infinite negative emotions filled her being, rapidly consuming everything.
However, as Ye Ling's sword approached, all the杂念 in Bai Lan's mind vanished in an instant, leaving only one thought.
To live!
Only by living could she ascertain if her master's words were true!
Only by living did she have hope!
Feeling the awe of death once more, Bai Lan's gaze became incredibly serious.
She looked at the approaching demonic sword, the power of time and space surging in her eyes. The space before her slightly distorted, gradually taking the shape of a sword!
"Sword of Space!"
Bai Lan gripped the sword formed by spatial distortion and, with extreme speed, slashed towards Ye Ling's demonic sword!
The demonic sword, condensed from primal text, was like tofu under Bai Lan's blade, easily severed.
However, after cutting through Ye Ling's demonic sword, Bai Lan's mindset did not relax. Instead, she continued to grip the Sword of Space and pursue her advantage, aiming to heavily wound Ye Ling during the window of his demonic sword's damage!
She was Ye Ling's disciple and knew very well that Ye Ling's offensive could not be easily dismantled!
As expected!
Before Bai Lan's sword could strike Ye Ling, his figure rapidly dispersed into a large amount of primal text, which then transformed into dark chains, entwining Bai Lan!
"Devouring Domain and Ink Between!"
Seeing the dark chains entwining her, Bai Lan immediately realized this was Ye Ling's terrifying killing move!
Once enveloped by the Devouring Domain and Ink Between, death was certain!
Without any hesitation, Bai Lan frantically activated the power of time and space. Before the Devouring Domain could fully expand, she hid her true self in the future, leaving behind a past phantom in her original location!
In the next moment, Bai Lan narrowly escaped the independent space-time, and her past phantom was crushed by Ye Ling's dark chains!
"Is a serious master this terrifying?"
Bai Lan, hiding in the void, looked at the independent space-time Ye Ling had opened, feeling a pang of fear.
She dared not return now!
However, as she glanced at the independent space-time Ye Ling had opened, infinite dark chains broke through space-time, invaded the river of time, and pursued Bai Lan!
"You can actually find me hiding in the future!!!"
Seeing the dark chains approaching, Bai Lan no longer dared to hesitate. She once again activated the power of time and space, transforming herself into a koi carp and diving into the river of time, fleeing into the past!
However, no matter how Bai Lan hid in the river of time, Ye Ling's death-seeking chains could always capture her.
There was no place for Bai Lan to hide in the past, present, or future of the entire Primal Chaos!
Bai Lan once again felt her own insignificance and powerlessness.
"So... all these years of my efforts were a joke?"
Bai Lan struggled in the river of time, utterly exhausted from being pursued by the dark chains.
"This is only thirty percent of master's strength, and the Primal Time King is on par with master at his peak. How can I, in such a sorry state, be a match for the Primal Time King?"
Bai Lan grew increasingly weary. Under Ye Ling's immense power, she gradually lost hope of victory.
*Screech!*
Just as Bai Lan was about to give up, the sound of chains tearing through the river of time startled her.
She looked back and saw Ye Ling, entwined by chains, standing on the river of time, staring at her coldly.
Ye Ling's eyes at this moment were incredibly indifferent, as if he were looking at a dead person.
"Master..."
Bai Lan was hurt by Ye Ling's cold gaze, and infinite sorrow welled up in her heart.
However, her sorrow soon turned into boundless rage.
"No! Even if I have to die, I must find out if master truly wants to abandon me!"
Bai Lan gritted her teeth fiercely, reigniting her fighting spirit.
She activated the power of time and space, stirring the water of the river of time and hurling it towards the dark chains!
A large amount of water from the river of time transformed into giant dragons, entangling with the dark chains, while Bai Lan no longer fled. She actively charged towards Ye Ling!
"Hmph!"
Seeing Bai Lan charging at him, Ye Ling merely sneered. A large amount of primal text manifested before him, then condensed into a dark Mount Tai, which he slammed down fiercely!
*Boom!!!*
The river of time was shattered by Ye Ling's power, and the history of the entire Primal Chaos was affected!
Bai Lan was sent flying by the immense force, and the power of time and space within her rapidly dispersed.
"You should die now."
Ye Ling emerged from the dark Mount Tai, raising his hand slightly. The Mount Tai that had shattered the river of time transformed back into countless chains, like venomous snakes, lunging towards Bai Lan!
"I cannot fall here!"
Bai Lan watched the falling chains, not considering surrender. Her mind began to race.
In this desperate situation, she became unprecedentedly calm, just like her master Ye Ling, contemplating any possible way to break free.
With less than a millisecond before the chains struck, Bai Lan had already performed hundreds of billions of simulations using the power of time and space in her mind.
Finally...
She found her only method to break free at this moment!
"I'll risk it!"
Madness flashed in Bai Lan's eyes. She plunged her hands into the river of time, condensing two spears with the water of time, and then charged directly at Ye Ling.
A large number of chains rained down from the sky, densely shooting towards Bai Lan.
But Bai Lan, having gone through hundreds of billions of simulations in her mind, had already memorized the positions of all the falling chains!
She precisely dodged the attack of every chain, and even used teleportation to other space-times to evade the fragments that exploded after the chains plunged into the water.
Dodging precisely time and time again, without wasting a single bit of energy, Bai Lan found one path to survival after another from the deadly predicament, rapidly closing in on Ye Ling.
"Got you!"
Bai Lan arrived before Ye Ling and thrust out the two spears in her hands!
The spears formed from the water of the river of time exploded, transforming into boundless power of time and space, entwining Ye Ling's entire body, intending to drag him into the past era.
However, just as Bai Lan exerted all her strength to seal Ye Ling, Ye Ling's lips curved slightly, and his body, entwined by the power of time and space, became ethereal.
In the next moment, Ye Ling's true form appeared behind Bai Lan and placed a hand on her back.
Bai Lan's pupils contracted sharply.
"Ink Between."
Ye Ling's cold voice sounded, and Bai Lan was rapidly decomposed into text. The river of time then became quiet again.
"Girl, it's over..."
Ye Ling looked at Bai Lan, who had decomposed into text, and spoke indifferently, declaring his victory.
"Although you didn't defeat me, your performance has exceeded my expectations. You can graduate..."
"That's not necessarily true!"
Suddenly, Bai Lan's voice echoed from within the river of time, causing Ye Ling's pupils to contract slightly.
"Master, you forgot... I also have a heart demon!"
The true Bai Lan extended a hand from the river of time, grabbing Ye Ling's ankle. "You killed my heart demon, I'll kill you... Fair!"
With that, Bai Lan exerted a fierce force, dragging Ye Ling into the river of time!
