"Ye Ling!"
Nuo Ying saw Ye Ling appear. Before she could express her surprise, she sensed the terrifying aura of the Primordial Underworld King beside Ye Ling, and her body froze instantly.
Had Ye Ling brought the complete Primordial Underworld King to the Dragon Wing Continent?
Was he insane?
Nuo Ying's mind went blank, and she stopped thinking.
However, before Ye Ling could speak, the Primordial Underworld King slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the spiritual source of Heavenly One the Divine hanging in the air, looking utterly dejected.
Nuo Ying, who had been a little scared, was stunned when she saw the listless Primordial Underworld King. She looked at Ye Ling in surprise, quietly pointing at the Primordial Underworld King lying on the ground, as if asking Ye Ling what was going on.
Ye Ling smiled and said, "Just now, the Primordial Underworld King and I joined forces against Tian Ji, one of the Seven Pillars. The Primordial Underworld King took a blow and has probably lost all confidence."
"Then... what should we do now?" Nuo Ying asked Ye Ling again.
She knew that for Ye Ling to become stronger, he needed to absorb the power of the Seven Kings. Now that the Primordial Underworld King had given up, this was their golden opportunity!
Strike while the iron is hot!
Ye Ling did not make a move directly. Instead, he looked at the Primordial Underworld King and said, "Primordial Underworld King, with Tian Ji no longer interfering, shall we find another place to fight and settle this?"
"What's there to settle?" The Primordial Underworld King had no fighting spirit at all. He said indifferently, "I'm already affected by your Ink Domain. If you want to defeat me, isn't it just a matter of a thought?"
Ye Ling smiled and said, "You did help me fight Tian Ji earlier. I'm not ungrateful. You helped me against the enemy, and I saved your life. We are even."
"I only modified your aura with the Ink Domain to evade Tian Ji's pursuit. I didn't do anything else. You can now exert your full strength."
"You didn't take the opportunity to control me?" The Primordial Underworld King sat up abruptly, looking at Ye Ling in disbelief.
He knew very well that Ye Ling brought him here precisely because he wanted his power!
As for him, it made no difference whether he fell into Tian Ji's hands or Ye Ling's, so he didn't resist much and followed Ye Ling.
Now, Ye Ling suddenly saying that he didn't take the opportunity to control him completely surprised him!
This was equivalent to Ye Ling completely giving up the readily available power of the Seven Kings!
Ye Ling smiled and said, "I can swear on my character that you won't be affected by the Ink Domain... Of course, in the life-and-death battle between us next, I won't hold back."
"You truly are a freak," the Primordial Underworld King said, looking at Ye Ling deeply and complaining.
Nuo Ying, seeing this, thought Ye Ling and the Primordial Underworld King were about to fight. She quickly said, "If you two are going to decide the winner, I suggest we leave the Heavenly One Universe and go to the Primordial Chaos. This universe cannot withstand the pressure of you two great gods!"
"Hahaha..."
At this moment, the Primordial Underworld King suddenly burst into laughter. "Since my birth, I have always believed myself to be the supreme existence, ruling everything in the Primordial Chaos. In my eyes, all living beings are ants!"
"I never expected that after I was sealed by the Overseers and the Primordial Chaos underwent drastic changes, a group of interesting fellows like you would be born!"
"The current era seems much more interesting than the era I once ruled!"
Nuo Ying looked at the suddenly laughing Primordial Underworld King warily and asked, "What... what are you doing?"
"I've decided!"
As if making a decision, the Primordial Underworld King directly extracted the Core of Death within him, which contained all his power.
Extremely dense death qi swirled around the Core of Death. Even though the death qi was suppressed to the extreme by the Primordial Underworld King, the moment the Core of Death emerged, the grass beneath their feet withered!
Ye Ling was stunned when the Primordial Underworld King suddenly took out his power core and asked, "What do you mean?"
The Primordial Underworld King said, "After witnessing your battle with Tian Ji, I realized that I am no match for you. If our fight causes turmoil in the Primordial Chaos, it will only benefit that scoundrel Tian Ji."
"Instead of that, it's better for me to give all my power to you myself, to fulfill you alone."
"This is all your power. After giving it up, you will no longer be one of the Primordial Seven Kings. Are you really willing to let it go?" Ye Ling still couldn't believe that the Primordial Underworld King would just hand over his power.
The reason he didn't take the opportunity to control the Primordial Underworld King with the Ink Domain earlier was only to clear his conscience; he had no intention of converting the Primordial Underworld King.
When Ye Ling fought the Primordial Underworld King before, he used every means possible because the Primordial Underworld King was a mortal enemy, a matter of life and death. Therefore, Ye Ling did not adhere to the code of honor.
But after fighting alongside the Primordial Underworld King, at least during the time they faced Tian Ji, Ye Ling considered the Primordial Underworld King a teammate, so he wouldn't stab him in the back.
This was Ye Ling's own martial path, and everything he did was for himself.
The Primordial Underworld King said, "Back then, after I was defeated by the Seven Pillars, there were no Seven Kings in the Primordial Chaos. It's just that I never truly understood, clinging to future glory and failing to recognize reality."
"After witnessing the immense power of Tian Ji, I truly felt fear."
"I'm afraid of facing Tian Ji again... And as long as I carry the Core of Death and am the Primordial Underworld King, Tian Ji will find me sooner or later."
"Rather than living in fear from now on, it's better for me to hand over this power and let you bear the pressure of being hunted by the Overseers. I'll just be a leisurely and carefree king from now on."
"Without ruling the Primordial Chaos, having such great power is useless."
"Moreover..."
At this point, the Primordial Underworld King looked at Ye Ling deeply and said, "I see hope in you that the Seven Kings of the past never saw... Perhaps you truly have a chance to defeat the Overseers and create a brand new era."
"If you can achieve that, it won't be a disgrace to the glory of the Primordial Underworld King."
Nuo Ying, who heard the Primordial Underworld King's words, couldn't help but say excitedly, "You've made me feel so passionate! Ye Ling... you must go further!"
Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, sighing, "I never expected it to end like this."
"But since you've said all this, if I refuse again, it would seem hypocritical."
Ye Ling accepted the Core of Death from the Primordial Underworld King with a straightforward attitude and began to absorb its power.
In Ye Ling's consciousness space, the blank, transparent rune belonging to the Primordial Underworld King gradually became brighter, and death qi began to swirl around it.
Ye Ling's aura began to soar rapidly.
Seeing that Ye Ling could perfectly absorb his power, the Primordial Underworld King seemed to have thought of something. His pupils slightly contracted, and a storm of shock surged in his heart. He looked at Ye Ling in disbelief and exclaimed, "You actually... could it be... that legend is true?"
