Bai Qing, watching Patriarch Mie Dao turn to ash from behind, blinked, her mind a blank slate.
"What just happened?" Bai Qing murmured, she hadn't even grasped what had occurred!
Patriarch Mie Dao had died far too quickly!
However, Bai Qing was, after all, a Great Dao Immortal Lord with immense combat experience. After a moment of shock, she swiftly accepted the fact that Patriarch Mie Dao had been instantly killed. She immediately activated the Heavenly Void Dao Lotus, preparing to resurrect Patriarch Mie Dao!
Although Patriarch Mie Dao's soul had been scattered, Bai Qing had made preparations before the battle, copying Patriarch Mie Dao's reincarnation information. By activating the Heavenly Void Dao Lotus, she could easily resurrect Patriarch Mie Dao!
However, just as the Heavenly Void Dao Lotus unleashed its divine power, a sword beam ripped through the air!
*Chii!*
The Sword of Chaos pierced through the center of the Heavenly Void Dao Lotus, impaling Bai Qing and pinning her to the barrier!
"Pfft!"
Bai Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning deathly pale.
Ye Ling teleported in front of Bai Qing, grabbing the Heavenly Void Dao Lotus with one hand. White runes were rapidly inscribed onto the Heavenly Void Dao Lotus, sealing it.
Bai Qing stared at Ye Ling, gritting her teeth tightly. She tried to heal her injuries, but her body was suddenly covered in a multitude of runes. All the spiritual energy she could mobilize was sealed at that moment!
Ye Ling chuckled, "Don't waste your efforts. I have now absorbed the power of the Chaos Sword Ancestor and Patriarch Mie Dao. The gap in our strength is no longer a small one."
"You, you..."
Bai Qing looked at Ye Ling in utter terror, deeply feeling Ye Ling's terrifying power. She quickly sent out a distress signal to others, hoping to summon more reinforcements to surround and kill Ye Ling!
However, before Bai Qing's message could be sent, it was intercepted by Ye Ling's runes! Da Feng Novel Network.
Unable to seek help from the outside, panic flickered in Bai Qing's eyes. She surrendered to Ye Ling, saying, "Ye Ling, I surrender. Can you spare my life?"
"I can cooperate with you like Yue Qing Ning. With me around, dealing with others will be much easier! Trust me! I have this ability!"
At this moment, Bai Qing was completely flustered. Her power was sealed, and she could no longer use any abilities. If Ye Ling truly intended to kill her, she would surely die!
Ye Ling paid no attention to Bai Qing's plea. He turned to Yue Qing Ning, who was still in a daze not far away, and asked, "What do you think? Should we spare her?"
Hearing Ye Ling's question, Yue Qing Ning finally looked at Ye Ling, realizing that Ye Ling alone had completely ended the battle.
At this moment, Yue Qing Ning didn't know how to describe her feelings. Her gaze towards Ye Ling was as if she were looking at a monster!
How long had she been interacting with Ye Ling? And Ye Ling's strength had undergone a drastic change in less than ten minutes, during a simple meditation session!
Legend had it that obtaining the Great Dao Heart granted one the qualification to participate in the Great Dao Heart Trial, with a chance to ascend to Creation God.
However, even among Chaos Sovereigns and Great Dao Immortal Lords, only one in ten thousand could pass the Great Dao Heart Trial!
Excluding the five Creation Gods who had vanished in ancient times, in the outer universe, the only known powerful being who had passed the Great Dao Heart Trial and become a Creation God was the Lord of Remnants.
Other Chaos Sovereigns and Great Dao Immortal Lords who had obtained the Great Dao Heart either perished after participating in the Great Dao Heart Trial or lost all their cultivation and became insane...
Therefore, the Great Dao Heart was the most coveted yet most feared treasure for all Chaos Sovereigns and Great Dao Immortal Lords!
No one knew what the trial content of the Great Dao Heart was... But at this moment... Yue Qing Ning suddenly felt that if Ye Ling were to become a Chaos Sovereign and obtain a Great Dao Heart, Ye Ling would definitely become a Creation God and rule the world!
"Yue Qing Ning!"
Ye Ling's voice echoed in Yue Qing Ning's ears, bringing the dazed Yue Qing Ning back to her senses.
Ye Ling looked at the still somewhat bewildered Yue Qing Ning and chuckled, "What are you thinking about?"
Yue Qing Ning shook her head and said, "N-nothing... What did you ask me just now?"
Ye Ling asked again, "Bai Qing wants to cooperate with us to hunt down other Chaos Sovereigns and Great Dao Immortal Lords. Should we accept her?"
Yue Qing Ning shook her head and said, "I don't think it's necessary... With your current cultivation, hunting down other Chaos Sovereigns and Great Dao Immortal Lords is no longer a challenging task. Even adding Bai Qing would be like adding flowers to a bouquet, it wouldn't make a substantial difference to the overall situation."
"On the contrary, Bai Qing is very close to the Remnant Clan in the outer realm. If we cooperate with her, once she leaves the inner universe and breaks free from the suppression of the cosmic barrier, I might be alright... but Ye Ling, you absolutely cannot withstand her revenge!"
The World Extinguishing Spirit Fire suddenly chimed in, "Kid, Yue Qing Ning's analysis is good. Although Bai Qing is not skilled in offense, she is still a Great Dao Immortal Lord. You've finally subdued her this time. If you let her recover her strength, you'll surely die! It's best to deal with her now to eliminate future trouble!"
Hearing the analysis from Yue Qing Ning and the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire, Ye Ling nodded in agreement, "Actually, I was thinking the same. The risks and rewards of cooperating with Bai Qing are not proportional. There's indeed no need to take that risk."
Seeing that Ye Ling had no intention of letting her go, fear began to surface in Bai Qing's eyes. She quickly said, "Ye Ling, aren't you going to consider it? My strength can protect you very well. With me around, can you deal with others without getting hurt?"
Ye Ling gripped the hilt of the Sword of Chaos and smiled at Bai Qing, "Even without you, I can deal with others without getting hurt."
Bai Qing's pupils contracted sharply, a flicker of despair in her eyes. Her expression then instantly contorted, and she glared fiercely at Ye Ling, screaming, "Ye Ling! The Lord of Remnants is my lover! If you dare to touch me, the Lord of Remnants will absolutely not let you go! He will surely flatten this inner universe of yours!"
Hearing Bai Qing's threat, Ye Ling's smile became even brighter, "That's perfect. I have a great enmity with the Remnant Clan. Anything that can disgust the Lord of Remnants, I couldn't be happier.
"I bet that even if I kill you, he still won't dare to come in."
Ye Ling had already understood that the Lord of Remnants dared not enter the inner universe when he was repairing the cosmic barrier earlier.
If the Lord of Remnants dared to come in, he wouldn't need to use bounties to drive other Chaos Sovereigns and Great Dao Immortal Lords; he could have come himself.
With the power of the Lord of Remnants as a Creation God, if he were to descend, Ye Ling would have no chance to resist!
Seeing that even mentioning the Lord of Remnants couldn't scare Ye Ling, Bai Qing's eyes grew more desperate. She screamed, "Ye Ling!!! You really dare to kill me?"
"What is there to fear?"
*Weng!*
A similar strange sound emanated from the Sword of Chaos, followed by a gray domain spreading out. Bai Qing, her expression contorted, instantly turned black and white!
The next moment, Bai Qing's power and life force were completely extracted, and her entire being turned into dust.
Turned to ashes and scattered!
