Mu Bai discovered that the special symbols representing the Primordial Chaos King could transform into the special symbols of the Primordial Soul King. He immediately understood the characteristic of the Primordial Chaos King's power and quickly said to Ye Ling, "My lord, I've figured out the situation!"
As soon as Mu Bai spoke, Ye Ling also forced the Primordial Soul King's power out of his consciousness space.
"Cough, cough..." Ye Ling woke up, coughed lightly, and his face turned somewhat pale.
Seeing Ye Ling's condition worsen, Mu Bai's excited emotions subsided considerably. He quickly asked Ye Ling, "My lord, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I just need to rest for a while."
Ye Ling waved his hand, indicating he was fine, and then asked Mu Bai, "What did you find?"
Mu Bai was still a little worried about Ye Ling's condition, but seeing Ye Ling ask about important matters, he could only collect his thoughts and said to Ye Ling, "I've figured out why we couldn't find any abnormalities in the Primordial Soul King's soul crystal. The Primordial Chaos King's power is similar to Chaos Origin Force and can be simulated as other powers."
"My lord, a considerable portion of the soul power within your soul crystal now is soul power simulated by the Primordial Chaos King's power."
Hearing Mu Bai's words, Ye Ling's expression became serious. He asked in a deep voice, "The Primordial Chaos King's power can simulate the Primordial Soul King's power... What is the basis for this?"
"My lord, please look!"
Mu Bai immediately showed Ye Ling what he had prepared, once again operating the transformation of the Primordial Chaos King's special symbols into the Primordial Soul King's special symbols.
After watching Mu Bai's demonstration, Ye Ling's expression grew even more solemn, "There's such a thing... This is a bit tricky. How should we separate the powers of the Primordial Soul King and the Primordial Chaos King?"
The Primordial Chaos King's power could simulate the Primordial Soul King's power... This meant that Ye Ling could hardly separate the Primordial Chaos King's power from the Primordial Soul King's soul crystal, rendering the Primordial Soul King's power useless.
Mu Bai said, "My lord, can you absorb the Primordial Chaos King's power along with it? You have to absorb all seven Primordial Kings anyway."
Ye Ling shook his head, "It's not that simple. I need the core power of the Primordial Kings to improve myself. Clearly, there is no core power of the Primordial Chaos King within the Primordial Soul King's soul crystal. That power is of no use to me, and the sooner it's removed, the better."
Mu Bai frowned, "This is troublesome... The Primordial Chaos King's power is similar to Chaos Origin Force. It directly evolved into the Primordial Soul King's power. Even if you decompose it with Mo Zhi Jian, I estimate we won't be able to separate the Primordial Soul King's power from the Primordial Chaos King's power."
Mu Bai was obviously encountering this problem for the first time and didn't have a good solution yet.
Ye Ling, however, was no longer in such a hurry. He said, "Let's take our time. At least we've confirmed that the Primordial Chaos King's power is present in the Primordial Soul King's soul crystal... In this Nameless Void, as long as I don't absorb the Primordial Soul King's power and the Nameless Void is not disturbed, our time is infinite."
"Mmm..."
With Ye Ling's comfort, Mu Bai also nodded while pondering. He turned and walked to the side of the Heavenly Dao, beginning to research a solution for the Primordial Soul King's soul crystal.
Seeing Mu Bai engrossed in his research, Ye Ling did not idle either. He looked at the soul crystal floating in his palm and activated "World" to decompose and reassemble it.
However, even after Ye Ling used his power to decompose the soul crystal into the smallest particles, he still couldn't find the difference between the Primordial Chaos King's power and the Primordial Soul King's power.
"The attributes of the Primordial Chaos King's power are exactly the same as the Primordial Soul King's power, even the basic composition is the same. Yet, there are problems when absorbing... Is there anything else I haven't noticed?"
Ye Ling observed the soul crystal in his hand, recalling the situation when he absorbed the Primordial Soul King's power for the second time.
"At that time, the Primordial Chaos King's black energy seemed to have become more concentrated. The other runes in my consciousness space were more affected than when I first absorbed the Primordial Chaos King's soul crystal. My body even became weaker than before..."
"Could it be..." Ye Ling suddenly thought of something terrible!
Since the Primordial Chaos King's power could simulate the Primordial Soul King's power, it could also simulate other powers!
It was likely that the Primordial Chaos King's power had already infiltrated Ye Ling's body, his consciousness space, and even the special runes storing the powers of other Primordial Kings!
Thinking of this, Ye Ling felt increasingly that the Primordial Chaos King had invaded his body and simulated himself as a part of his body!
"This is really troublesome... I had thought that if I couldn't handle it, I could temporarily put aside the Primordial Soul King's power and go deal with the troubles facing the Three Thousand Universes."
"Now it seems, if I don't quickly resolve the trouble of the Primordial Chaos King, let alone the Three Thousand Universes, I myself might not be able to protect myself!"
Realizing the terrifying nature of the Primordial Chaos King, Ye Ling understood that although he had not yet met the Primordial Chaos King face-to-face, the confrontation between him and the Primordial Chaos King had already begun in advance through the Primordial Soul King's soul crystal!
"You want to kill me with sneak attacks without showing yourself? Primordial Chaos King, do you underestimate me, Ye Ling, too much!"
Ye Ling muttered to himself. He thought of a possible way to deal with the Primordial Chaos King and once again sat cross-legged in mid-air, absorbing the Primordial Soul King's power.
Mu Bai, who had been desperately trying to figure out how to deal with the Primordial Chaos King, suddenly felt a terrifying soul power emanating from the Nameless Void again. He looked at Ye Ling in utter shock, "My lord?"
Although Mu Bai's strength was far inferior to Ye Ling's, he could tell that Ye Ling's body had reached its limit when he absorbed the Primordial Soul King's soul crystal for the second time. Now, Ye Ling was actually going to attempt a third absorption with his broken body. In Mu Bai's eyes, Ye Ling was simply insane!
At this moment, Ye Ling had no time to pay attention to Mu Bai. All his energy was focused on his consciousness space.
During his first and second absorptions of the Primordial Soul King's soul crystal, the special runes in his consciousness space could still fuse with a portion of the Primordial Soul King's power. Now, as he attempted the third absorption, the special runes began to crack from the start. A large amount of black energy filled Ye Ling's consciousness space, and even the area around Ye Ling's body was enveloped by the black energy.
Ye Ling was now emitting a terrifying and dangerous aura. Mu Bai, who was in the same barrier as Ye Ling, felt a great sense of crisis, as if he would die if he didn't leave immediately!
"Why did things turn out like this?"
Mu Bai retreated to the edge of the Nameless Void, using Origin Text to condense a barrier to protect himself, while staring intently at Ye Ling, observing the changes in Ye Ling's body.
He did not understand what Ye Ling was trying to do at the moment, so the only thing he could do was to observe Ye Ling's physical changes with all his might, trying to find a breakthrough.
Just as Mu Bai was trying to salvage the situation, Ye Ling suddenly opened his eyes and said, "World!"
Buzz—!
In an instant, Ye Ling's body, soul, and consciousness... all decomposed into countless particles!
The seven special Seven King runes in his consciousness space were also revealed to Mu Bai, all surging with extremely terrifying power!
The next moment, under the influence of Ye Ling's "World," all seven special runes turned into particles!
And the special Heavenly rune belonging to the Primordial Soul King, after being converted into particles, Mu Bai could see... more than half of the particles had turned black!
The other six special runes also had a small portion of their particles turned black!
Seeing those black particles, Mu Bai's body trembled, and he exclaimed in shock, "They've been distinguished!"
