In the darkness, a soul-shaking howl of terror erupted as a palm moved with lightning speed towards Ye Ling!
Seeing the palm rushing towards him, Ye Ling felt his scalp tingle and quickly fled with the World-Ending Spirit Fire and the remnant soul of the Lord of Remnants.
He suddenly had a premonition that if he were caught by that black palm, he would surely die!
Fortunately, the black palm had some kind of limitation. After chasing Ye Ling for a while, it retracted into the chaos. The chaos that permeated the banks of the River of Time quickly dissipated.
The River of Time returned to peace.
Ye Ling looked at the empty space ahead, still trembling, "What in the world was that just now?"
"Kid, look at the Lord of Remnants quickly!"
As Ye Ling pondered what that darkness was, the startled cry of the World-Ending Spirit Fire suddenly pulled him back to reality.
Ye Ling immediately looked at the Lord of Remnants. The Lord of Remnants, who had quite a bit of soul and energy, was now like a candle in the wind, extremely weak.
"What is this?"
Seeing the Lord of Remnants, who could be crushed with a single pinch, Ye Ling's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart was once again stirred by a tempestuous wave.
What had happened?
The World-Ending Spirit Fire said, "Kid, when you were being chased by that black hand just now, I noticed the soul of the Lord of Remnants rapidly withering. I suspect it was drained of its remaining soul energy by that black hand."
"It seems that this Lord of Remnants is truly a pawn for some entity. He has become a discarded piece."
Ye Ling casually crushed the remnant soul of the Lord of Remnants and then asked the World-Ending Spirit Fire, "What was that black hand? Where did it come from?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire stammered, "I, I don't know either. I was startled just now."
"Is that so..." Ye Ling didn't think much of it. He looked towards the downstream of the River of Time again and suddenly remembered the black mist that enveloped the River of Time. He immediately sped towards the downstream.
Soon, Ye Ling saw the black mist that enveloped the River of Time.
Because Ye Ling had severed space-time upstream of the River of Time, there was no longer any river water flowing into the black mist, making the black mist appear isolated.
However, the black mist was not static. It was moving upstream of the River of Time at a visible speed, as if it intended to devour the entire River of Time.
"What's inside this black mist?"
Seeing the black mist, Ye Ling suddenly felt an urge to explore it and instinctively took a step forward.
The World-Ending Spirit Fire quickly shouted, "Don't go in!"
Suddenly stopped by the World-Ending Spirit Fire, Ye Ling couldn't help but be stunned, "World-Ending Spirit Fire?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire stammered, "We, we don't know what's inside. Rushing in rashly is indeed a bit hasty. And you saw that black hand just now, it seemed to have come out of the black mist. There's probably a terrifying power inside. It's really unwise for us to go in now."
Ye Ling nodded, "Yes... indeed, it's quite risky to enter the unknown so rashly, and we don't know if we can return."
"My battle with the Lord of Remnants this time has messed up space-time. Now, repairing the River of Time is also a troublesome matter. I can't just leave like this."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "That's right, let's sort out the current matters first..."
"Yes, I'll repair the River of Time first."
Boom!!!
Just as Ye Ling was about to start repairing the River of Time, an extremely terrifying aura surged from the black mist, and a large amount of chaotic energy gushed out.
"What's going on?"
Ye Ling immediately dodged to the side, watching the chaotic energy disrupt the River of Time with disbelief in his eyes.
The World-Ending Spirit Fire trembled, "I, I don't know what's happening. This has never happened before!"
As Ye Ling and the World-Ending Spirit Fire were shocked, the chaotic energy rapidly infiltrated the entire River of Time, even polluting its source!
The rune barrier that Ye Ling had erected to block the flow of the River of Time was shattered by the dark chaotic energy!
After the dark chaotic energy completely infiltrated the River of Time, a large number of black arms stretched out from within, waving in the now black River of Time, looking extremely terrifying and bizarre.
Before Ye Ling and the World-Ending Spirit Fire could figure out what had happened, those palms dragged Ye Ling's own main space-time upwards.
Rumble!
The River of Time began to churn, then stirred up a large number of water tornadoes, converging into a super-giant water ball with the main space-time in the air as the core!
All the water in the River of Time flew into the sky at this moment!
"This... what on earth is happening?"
Ye Ling looked at the enormous water ball, no longer knowing how to describe his current shock.
Under the influence of the dark chaotic energy, all space-times were merged together, forming an unprecedented, super-powerful, and super-giant space-time!
Ye Ling and the World-Ending Spirit Fire, on the banks of the River of Time, witnessed such an incredible event!
Ye Ling looked up at the giant water ball in the sky and murmured, "Is this the consequence of killing the Lord of Remnants?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire said, "The energy of the Lord of Remnants is probably not that great. All these space-times are mixed together, and the River of Time has completely disappeared. Such a thing... even the Creator God could not do it!"
Listening to the World-Ending Spirit Fire's exclamation, Ye Ling glanced back at the black mist that had returned to its calm state, his eyes slightly narrowing.
What exactly was in there?
The World-Ending Spirit Fire asked again, "Kid, what should we do now? It seems the River of Time cannot be restored in a short time. Our original space-time is mixed with other space-times, and it seems we can't return to our own era immediately."
Ye Ling came back to his senses and said quickly, "Let's go in and take a look first. I noticed earlier that our era is at the center of this super-giant water ball. As long as we keep flying towards the center after entering, we should be able to return."
Xiao You was still on Earth. Now that all eras had undergone drastic changes, Ye Ling was anxious to know if Earth and the Eastern Xuan Continent were alright!
The World-Ending Spirit Fire naturally understood Ye Ling's feelings and did not stop him from entering the super-giant water ball, only reminding him, "We can go in, but you still need to defend yourself. That dark power has infiltrated the River of Time, and we don't know how much danger is hidden inside."
Ye Ling nodded, "Yes, let's set off now!"
With that, Ye Ling cast rune defenses all over his body and charged into the super-giant space-time water ball.
Within the black mist, Xie Wushuang sat on a new pile of corpses, looking into the distance, and chuckled, "This kid actually killed the Lord of Remnants of this generation through his own strength. It seems the dark side can't play anymore and has directly merged the River of Time. They are really desperate..."
"It's good that they are desperate... I was afraid they wouldn't act. Although this move of theirs has added a lot of trouble for me, it has also created more loopholes. I need to re-plan..."
"However, I need to remove this brat Ye Ling from the plan first. Let him play on his own... I'm increasingly curious about what kind of tricks this brat can pull off."
"Demon Emperor, your eye for choosing people... is truly better than mine."
"However... although you chose the person, the master... he has to choose for himself."
Xie Wushuang muttered to himself, his figure dissolving into an illusion. The pile of corpses beneath him instantly turned into a torrent of blood, surging outwards.
