The World-Ending Spirit Fire saw the drastic environmental changes around it, its voice changing as it hurriedly warned Ye Ling, "Kid, be careful. This girl clearly still harbors hatred towards you. Don't flip over in a ditch!"
As soon as the World-Ending Spirit Fire finished speaking, numerous ice cones appeared around them, shooting towards Ye Ling at high speed!
Fortunately, Ye Ling was protected by a pre-condensed rune barrier, and those ice cones did not manage to harm him.
Tian Ling stood up from the Xuan Bing bed, looking at Ye Ling with hatred, and questioned, "Senior Brother, why did you kill my Master?"
As Tian Ling's words fell, an ice cone larger than Mount Tai condensed in the sky and smashed fiercely towards Ye Ling!
Seeing Tian Ling whose reason was blinded by hatred, Ye Ling knew he couldn't explain himself clearly in a short time. He immediately shattered the ice that had frozen his limbs and teleported away!
*Bang!!!*
The giant ice cone smashed into the ground, kicking up a sky full of ice shards. The frozen ground once again became shattered and broken.
The entire ground of the consciousness space was shrouded in icy mist!
Ye Ling appeared high in the sky, looking at the collapsing ground below, and said solemnly, "How can Tian Ling's strength be greater than Ling Mo's?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire said, "Isn't that obvious? This girl is now the core of that large illusion formation. She has received spiritual energy support from the Great Dao Immortal Lord, and this is her consciousness space. You even gave away control, so how could she not be strong?"
While the World-Ending Spirit Fire was complaining, countless ice cones shot out from the ground again, pouring down towards Ye Ling like a torrential rain!
Ye Ling had no time to discuss with the World-Ending Spirit Fire. He immediately condensed a soul power barrier in front of him, blocking all the ice cones!
"You give me back my Master!"
Another piercing cry came from below. Tian Ling, holding an ice spear, rushed out of the ice mist at extreme speed, charging towards Ye Ling!
Tian Ling's ice spear fiercely stabbed towards Ye Ling's soul power barrier, directly shattering it. The spear tip aimed straight for Ye Ling's forehead.
"Tian Ling, calm down!"
Ye Ling dodged Tian Ling's attack, grabbing the ice spear with one hand, but his entire arm was instantly frozen into ice.
Tian Ling, however, could not hear Ye Ling's words. Unable to wield the ice spear, she unhesitatingly let go and quickly condensed another ice sword, slashing at Ye Ling!
Where the ice sword passed, even space was frozen!
Ye Ling was currently just a spiritual body and could not withstand the Xuan Bing strengthened by Tian Ling. He could only dodge again.
Seeing Ye Ling in such a sorry state, the World-Ending Spirit Fire continued to complain, "See? I knew it would turn out like this. You would never lay a hand on this girl, and she's constantly trying to kill you. If you're not careful, you'll end up here!"
Ye Ling said quickly, "Instead of spewing sarcastic remarks, you'd be better off thinking of a way to calm Tian Ling down."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire didn't play coy and said quickly, "This girl's eyes are blinded by hatred. Her sole focus now is to avenge Xuan Xiao. If this hatred isn't released, she'll never calm down."
"Let her release her hatred..."
Ye Ling murmured, quickly making a decision in his heart. He immediately shattered the Xuan Bing that had frozen his arm, let go of the ice spear, and retreated to a distance.
Seeing Ye Ling retreat, Tian Ling quickly pursued, her ice spear unhesitatingly stabbing towards Ye Ling's heart!
Seeing Tian Ling charge at him, Ye Ling took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, spread his arms, and completely gave up resisting!
The World-Ending Spirit Fire screamed, "Are you trying to die, you brat! You're a spiritual body now; if you die, your soul will be scattered!"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire roared sternly, but Ye Ling remained unmoved, standing in place, waiting for Tian Ling to attack.
However, upon seeing Ye Ling give up resisting, a trace of struggle appeared in Tian Ling's eyes, which were full of hatred. Her hand trembled slightly, and the ice spear that was piercing Ye Ling's heart shifted slightly to the left, deviating from the vital point.
*Chii!*
The ice spear fiercely pierced Ye Ling's chest. Ye Ling's soul was instantly frozen by more than half, and his entire face turned extremely pale.
His aura rapidly declined!
"Senior Brother!"
Seeing that Ye Ling had truly been pierced by her, Tian Ling was greatly startled. She panicked and released the ice spear in her hand, looking at Ye Ling with confusion, "Why didn't you dodge?"
Ye Ling, enduring the pain of his soul being pierced, said to Tian Ling, "Silly girl... Senior Brother naturally wants you to wake up."
"I..."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Tian Ling's eyes instantly became moist. She took two steps back, not knowing how to face Ye Ling, and could only burst into tears.
"Why did you kill Master! He clearly had no ill will towards you!"
Tian Ling's sorrowful cries echoed in the consciousness space. A blizzard howled, and Ye Ling's body was frozen by more than half again!
The World-Ending Spirit Fire anxiously said, "Kid, your condition is very bad. Hurry and go out to repair your soul with the Dao of Reincarnation, or you'll really die here!"
Ye Ling ignored the World-Ending Spirit Fire's words, walked step by difficult step to Tian Ling, knelt on one knee, reached out to touch Tian Ling's head, and said apologetically, "I'm very sorry... but you have to believe Senior Brother. Senior Brother didn't intend to kill Master."
Tian Ling cried, "You're lying! I clearly saw you kill Master with my own eyes!"
Ye Ling didn't know how to explain what happened at the time to Tian Ling. He could only use his soul power to copy his memories from that moment, condense them into a memory crystal, and send it to Tian Ling: "This is Senior Brother's memory from that time. If you don't believe Senior Brother, you can see it for yourself..."
Tian Ling looked at the memory crystal in front of her with red eyes. After a moment of hesitation, she finally took the memory crystal with trembling hands and recalled Ye Ling's memories.
Seeing Tian Ling immersed in her memories, Ye Ling directly slumped to the ground, grabbed the ice spear that had pierced his chest with one hand, and pulled it out, enduring the intense pain!
At this moment, the ice spear had already frozen more than half of his insides. After pulling it out, a huge ice hole appeared in his chest, preventing his body from healing itself.
Looking at the large hole in his chest, Ye Ling chuckled bitterly, "Just a little more and it would have pierced my heart. Then it would have been truly over."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire cursed, "You scoundrel, you were almost killed! Did you put your head on your waist? You're going to get me killed too!"
Ye Ling retorted, "If anyone dies, it'll be me. It doesn't affect you, so why are you getting so agitated?"
"I..."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire wanted to retort, but the words were already at its lips, and it swallowed them back.
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, "What?"
"Nothing! I'm so angry I'm going to die from you, you brat. One day, I'll definitely kill you!" The World-Ending Spirit Fire grumbled, glossing over the matter.
Ye Ling shook his head and smiled at the World-Ending Spirit Fire's reaction. Just as he was about to tease it further, the entire consciousness space vibrated violently again!
"Tian Ling?" Ye Ling immediately looked at Tian Ling, who was still recalling memories, his brow furrowing slightly.
This wasn't Tian Ling's doing!
The World-Ending Spirit Fire looked towards the top of the consciousness space and said solemnly, "It's not Tian Ling. Look up there, the sky is cracking open!"
