"Open up a brand new path?"
Yue Qingning looked at Tai Yuan, completely bewildered, not fully understanding his words.
Seeing Yue Qingning's confused expression, Tai Yuan sighed slightly and said, "Simply put, Ye Ling is the body of the Emperor Ancestor. He must forge a completely new cultivation path on his own, different from us ordinary people."
"A new cultivation path?" Yue Qingning looked at Tai Yuan with disbelief. "Can that truly be done?"
Tai Yuan replied, "We ordinary mortals naturally cannot, but Ye Ling bears a great responsibility; he must achieve it."
Yue Qingning couldn't help but look at Ye Ling, murmuring, "To forge a cultivation path alone, that condition is far too harsh..."
Yue Qingning wouldn't even dare to imagine such a thing, let alone how to go about it.
Tai Yuan continued, "Ye Ling's current state is unique. Perhaps, besides Ye Ling, no one knows what to do?"
Yue Qingning frowned. "So we can only watch, unable to do anything?"
Tai Yuan nodded slightly. "We can only do that..."
"So it is..." Yue Qingning looked at Ye Ling, whose eyes were closed, and clenched her fists, regretting having given him the Seed of Chaos.
If Ye Ling were to perish because of it, Yue Qingning wouldn't know how to atone for her mistake.
Seeing the deep worry in Yue Qingning's eyes, Tai Yuan couldn't help but say, "Fairy Ying, you are now the Master of Chaos. Just the aura you naturally emit is enough to affect the surrounding space. I advise you to stay away from Ye Ling, so as not to disturb him. This is for his own good."
Hearing Tai Yuan's advice, Yue Qingning sighed heavily. However, she also knew that her presence here would be of no help. She could only retreat to a distance with Tai Yuan, keeping watch from afar.
Unbeknownst to Yue Qingning and Tai Yuan, Ye Ling was currently in a state of extreme distress.
When Ye Ling absorbed the Seed of Chaos, everything went smoothly at first. The Seed of Chaos was easily conquered by Ye Ling before it could even resist.
However, just as Ye Ling conquered the Seed of Chaos and became the Heavenly Void Emperor, the chaotic aura emanating from the Seed of Chaos began to cancel out the Great Dao power within Ye Ling. The two forces engaged in a constant battle, using Ye Ling's meridians as their battlefield!
The consequence of these two forces clashing was that both the Great Dao power and the chaotic aura vanished. Ye Ling gradually forgot his comprehension of the Void Great Dao, while the Seed of Chaos within his body continued to wither and eventually disappear.
In an extremely short period, Ye Ling fell from the Supreme Immortal and Heavenly Void Emperor realms, returning to the Supreme realm!
Even more critically, after Ye Ling's cultivation regressed to the Supreme realm, his Devouring Domain also began to collapse. All the domains previously absorbed by the Devouring Domain were expelled and annihilated.
"What in the world is going on?"
Ye Ling desperately suppressed the dissipating cultivation within his body, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only slow down the rate at which his cultivation was vanishing.
At this rate, it was only a matter of time before he lost all his cultivation.
"World-Ending Spirit Fire, are you still there? Make a sound! What is happening to me right now?"
Ye Ling attempted to summon the World-Ending Spirit Fire, but it seemed to have vanished into thin air. No matter how Ye Ling called out, the World-Ending Spirit Fire did not respond!
After failing to summon the World-Ending Spirit Fire, Ye Ling gave up hope of it. He then diverted some of his energy to control his soul, examining the situation within his body, trying to save himself.
As Ye Ling's soul probed his entire body, he actually discovered something peculiar within!
Ye Ling found that in the space between the clash of Great Dao power and chaotic power, and where the domain energy was annihilated, a large number of white light spots were generated. Those light spots were neither chaotic aura nor Great Dao power, but a type of energy he had never seen before!
Those light spots continuously gathered along his meridians towards his Dantian, gradually forming a lake from light spots, and then a sea from the lake. Soon, they occupied more than half of his Dantian!
However, what troubled him was that he was completely unable to control those energies. He could only watch as the white energy increased, gradually filling his Dantian, which was vast enough to contain all the spiritual energy of the entire domain universe!
"My cultivation is constantly declining, my Dantian is continuously shrinking, and that white energy is accumulating more and more. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll explode from those strange powers before I even lose all my cultivation!"
Ye Ling realized the seriousness of the situation. He no longer cared about the continuously canceling Great Dao power and chaotic aura. He began to try various methods to control those white energies and guide them out of his Dantian.
Meanwhile, outside, Yue Qingning and Tai Yuan saw the chaotic aura rapidly eroding Ye Ling's skin, to the point where even Yue Qingning's Chaos Qi Source could not suppress it.
Soon, Ye Ling was completely engulfed by the chaotic aura.
Seeing Ye Ling's entire body turn dark, Yue Qingning's eyes showed anxiety. She couldn't help but ask Tai Yuan, "Are you sure Ye Ling's current state is normal? He's almost being swallowed by the chaotic aura!"
At this moment, Tai Yuan also felt a little guilty and uncertain. "The Emperor Ancestor is a unique existence... anything can happen to him. I'm not entirely sure about this situation..."
If Ye Ling didn't already have the Seed of Chaos within him, his current condition would be exactly like being backlashed by the Seed of Chaos!
"You fellow..." Yue Qingning saw that Tai Yuan couldn't offer any explanation and didn't know what to say. However, she had already missed the best opportunity to save Ye Ling. No matter how worried she was, she could only watch from the side, unable to help.
Crack!
Suddenly, a strange sound came from within Ye Ling. His skin, eroded by the chaotic aura, began to crack, and white light beams burst forth.
Tai Yuan exclaimed, "Emperor Ancestor Nirvana?"
"What is that?" Yue Qingning quickly asked.
Tai Yuan came back to his senses and smiled somewhat awkwardly at Yue Qingning. "My apologies... this is a term I coined myself. Seeing Ye Ling's current state, this word just appeared in my mind subconsciously."
"You..." Yue Qingning's forehead was covered in black lines. She suddenly felt the urge to hit Tai Yuan.
Why invent things for no reason?
And as Yue Qingning and Tai Yuan were talking, Ye Ling suddenly opened his eyes, and dazzling white light shot out from them.
An extremely powerful pressure emanated from Ye Ling's body!
"This... this pressure?"
Yue Qingning looked at Ye Ling with shock, her body beginning to tremble slightly...
The pressure Ye Ling was emitting now made even her, a Master of Chaos, feel fear!
How could this be possible?
