"Give me the power you left behind outside?" Ye Ling raised an eyebrow slightly at the words of the Primordial Flame King, feeling quite surprised.
The Primordial Flame King replied, "That's right. I can give you all the power I currently possess. This way... with the power of the Three Kings, coupled with your peculiar methods, the success rate of rescuing me will greatly increase!"
Ye Ling added, "Even if you're willing to give me your power, I won't feel at ease using it unless my consciousness is completely erased."
"You can erase all my consciousness," the Primordial Flame King responded. "I'll wait for you in the seal."
"Of course, once you erase all my residual consciousness, I will no longer be able to influence you outside. Therefore, to ensure you come to rescue me, I need to hide your two friends in a place only I know. After you rescue me, I will return your two friends to you."
"Let me think." After hearing what the Primordial Flame King had said, Ye Ling fell into thought.
The situation had developed in a way that was beyond Ye Ling's expectations.
However, in a sense, this was the best outcome for Ye Ling.
Although the idea of going to the Overseers' stronghold to break the Primordial Flame King's seal sounded absurd, it would at least temporarily save the lives of Nuo Ying and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire.
Although Ye Ling had said that he would let the Primordial Flame King deal with Nuo Ying and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire as he pleased, and that he wouldn't hand over the power of the Two Kings even if the Primordial Flame King killed them, in reality... if the Primordial Flame King had truly decided to kill Nuo Ying and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, Ye Ling would have handed over the power of the Two Kings without hesitation.
Previously, Ye Ling had merely been putting on a brave front, feigning indifference and ruthlessness.
For Ye Ling, friends and family would always be more important than the power he possessed.
Fortunately, the Primordial Flame King did not understand Ye Ling and was successfully fooled, thus giving up on confronting Ye Ling and opting to negotiate instead.
"Youngster, take your time to consider. I have plenty of time," the Primordial Flame King said calmly, patiently waiting for Ye Ling's answer within the Flame Domain.
After a moment of thought, Ye Ling realized that the only way to save Nuo Ying and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire was to agree to the Primordial Flame King's request. He then said, "Alright, I promise to help you resolve the seal issue. Give me your power first."
"A wise decision, youngster... I'm growing to admire you more and more."
The Primordial Flame King chuckled and then dispelled the surrounding Flame Domain. A white seed appeared in Ye Ling's sight.
Seeing the Flame Domain disappear, Ye Ling quickly scanned his surroundings with his divine sense, searching for Nuo Ying and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire.
The Primordial Flame King saw Ye Ling's actions and couldn't help but laugh, "Youngster, don't waste your effort. Your two friends have already been moved by me to a place only I know. You won't be able to find them."
Ye Ling did not respond to the Primordial Flame King. After inspecting the current plane, he withdrew his soul power and asked the Primordial Flame King, "Is there a time limit for rescuing you?"
"I've been imprisoned for countless ages, so I don't mind being imprisoned for a few hundred million more years. You can take your time to prepare thoroughly," the Primordial Flame King said with a light smile.
"However, I'd like to offer a friendly reminder. The place where your two friends are being held is not a comfortable one. If too much time passes, I cannot guarantee that your two friends will not suffer irreversible damage."
"Are you threatening me?" Ye Ling's gaze turned cold, and he said sternly.
"I'm merely stating facts... While I don't mind being imprisoned further, I would be distressed if you never came," the Primordial Flame King chuckled lightly.
"How long can Nuo Ying and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire last in those places?" Ye Ling asked again.
"That flame has a similar attribute to me, so it should last a bit longer. However, that girl is different... I estimate that with every year that passes, she will suffer some degree of wear and tear. With her vitality, she should be able to last for tens of thousands of years," the Primordial Flame King replied.
"If you can rescue me within ten thousand years, your friend will still have a chance."
After hearing the Primordial Flame King's words, Ye Ling took a deep breath and said, "I understand. Give me the location of your seal and your power."
"Easily done!"
The Primordial Flame King chuckled and began to gather his power. The white seed suddenly enlarged, and all the power the Primordial Flame King had left in the Primordial Chaos converged here, pouring into Ye Ling's body.
Ye Ling's aura surged rapidly once more, and even white flames began to wreathe around him!
Because Ye Ling's physical constitution was strong enough, the Primordial Flame King did not consider whether Ye Ling could withstand it when injecting his power, pouring all of his power into Ye Ling's body in one go.
Ye Ling's vitality and meridians were all incinerated into ashes by the Primordial Flame King's scorching power, and unbearable pain constantly tormented Ye Ling.
Ye Ling endured the pain of the power infusion, absorbing the Primordial Flame King's power while using his creation power to repair his vitality and meridians, preventing the Primordial Flame King from taking over his body when he was weak!
Before long, the Primordial Flame King had given all his residual power in the Primordial Chaos to Ye Ling, leaving himself extremely weak.
"Youngster, I have given you all my power remaining in the Primordial Chaos, a full thirty percent of my peak strength. You must use it well."
"Do you want me to teach you a few more moves?"
"No need!"
Ye Ling calmed his scorching vitality and grabbed the seed before him with one hand, saying, "Wait obediently in the seal for me to rescue you."
With that, Ye Ling tightened his grip and began to crush the Primordial Flame King's consciousness!
"Ahhhhhh!"
The Primordial Flame King let out a piercing roar, and intense pain continuously tormented his nerves.
"Youngster! Be gentle!!!" the Primordial Flame King roared, his consciousness becoming increasingly blurry!
"This is just a necessary process to erase your consciousness... Bear with it for a moment." Ye Ling smiled at the Primordial Flame King and deliberately slowed down the process of erasing his consciousness, intensifying the Primordial Flame King's suffering.
"You, you fellow... I'll be waiting for you..."
The Primordial Flame King's consciousness passively endured the pain. He panted and said something, after which his consciousness dissipated in extreme agony.
In this parallel plane, peace was restored.
Ye Ling, having absorbed the Primordial Flame King's power, felt no joy. Instead, he sighed heavily and said, "Going to the Overseers' side to break the seal of the Seven Kings and rescue the Primordial Flame King... this is a big problem now..."
The Overseers' stronghold...
Is that a place a person can go?
