Ye Ling spoke, raising the divine sword entwined with chaotic primordial energy in his hand, about to deliver the final blow to Tian Ji.
Tian Ji looked at the divine sword radiating dazzling light in Ye Ling's hand, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
'If... I were not a Seven Pillar, and had been born from the Primordial Chaos, would I be like him now?'
Tian Ji yearned for the future he imagined. He closed his eyes, awaiting Ye Ling's judgment.
After Ye Ling displayed the chaotic primordial energy, Tian Ji saw no point in continuing the fight.
"Tian Ji... our grievances end here."
As Ye Ling's voice fell, the divine sword he held was swung at Tian Ji without hesitation!
Chii!!!
The sharp divine sword easily sliced through Tian Ji's hardened bone armor, cleaving him in two!
Tian Ji's body dissolved into red garbled code, slowly becoming ethereal in the air.
The light sphere belonging to "Hand" floated in the air, pulsing with immense power.
Seeing the power of "Hand," Ye Ling also wanted to seize the opportunity to completely obliterate it. He immediately moved with his sword towards the light sphere of "Hand"!
However, just as the divine sword was about to shatter the light sphere, a large amount of black energy surged from Tian Ji's red garbled code, enveloping the golden light sphere.
"What is this!"
Ye Ling's pupils contracted slightly as he saw the black energy enveloping the golden light sphere.
In the next moment, the Inner Demon materialized before Ye Ling, grabbing the power of "Hand" with one hand, and smiling at Ye Ling, "My other self, ever since we parted, you've been on a continuous winning streak, gaining power after power, far surpassing me.
"Therefore, if you were to destroy the power of 'Hand' just like this, it would be a terrible waste. It's better to let me absorb it, as it's all in the family."
With that, the Inner Demon, without waiting for Ye Ling to stop him, swallowed the light sphere containing "Hand" into his body.
Thump thump!
The instant the Inner Demon swallowed the power of "Hand," Ye Ling heard a massive heartbeat. The Inner Demon immediately spat out a mouthful of black blood, his face turning incredibly pale.
The power of "Hand" began to leak from the Inner Demon's body.
Ye Ling immediately asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine... it's just that this 'Hand' power is a bit much, it almost burst me!" The Inner Demon waved his hand at Ye Ling, "I... just need a moment to recover."
Ye Ling added, "As one of the leaders of the Overseers, and with 'Brain' returning soon, there's no way they'd let you absorb 'Hand'."
"I'm aware of that..."
The Inner Demon, while struggling to suppress the power of "Hand," said to Ye Ling, "As agreed, I've left the power of the Primordial Soul King within Tian Ji's body. You can retrieve it later."
"Where are you going?" Ye Ling asked again.
Inner Demon: "As 'Brain' is returning soon, absorbing the power of 'Hand' within the Primordial Chaos is suicidal. I plan to leave and lie low for a while."
"Then I'll escort you out," Ye Ling said. He was still the will of the Primordial Chaos at this moment and could utilize chaotic primordial energy, making it not difficult to send the Inner Demon out of the Primordial Chaos.
"No need. If you escort me out, 'Brain' might track you. And we don't know what the outside is like. If you send me to some dangerous place, I'll die with regrets."
"Then how will you get out?" Ye Ling frowned.
"I have my ways."
The Inner Demon smiled, took out a teleportation talisman stolen from the魑魅魍魉, and said to Ye Ling, "My other self, after this parting, who knows when we'll meet again. May we meet again if fate allows!"
"'Brain' is returning soon, so you should hurry and take your precious disciple away from this place of trouble. 'Brain' can be quite terrifying when he loses his temper!"
With that, the Inner Demon activated the Sky Walker's teleportation talisman and left the Primordial Chaos with the power of "Hand."
"This guy... he slacks off during fights and puts all his energy into snatching spoils."
Ye Ling shook his head and smiled as he watched the Inner Demon leave with the power of "Hand." He then replaced his created puppet persona with his main persona, concealed the chaotic primordial energy within his bloodline, and returned to his normal state.
Although the power of the Primordial Chaos Will was immense, if Ye Ling used it too much, his new persona would completely replace his main persona, becoming the true Primordial Chaos Will.
At that point, Ye Ling would truly become a sentient embodiment devoid of emotion.
After returning to normal, Ye Ling extracted the power of the Primordial Soul King from Tian Ji's dissipating red garbled code and stored it within himself. He transmitted a message to Bai Lan, "Lan'er, how are you doing over there?"
"Master, I'm cleaning up the battlefield here! The Twins were killed by the Sky Walkers, and I'm uploading their information to the Primordial Chaos."
"Good, well done," Ye Ling praised Bai Lan. "I've also obtained the power of the Primordial Soul King here. 'Brain' is returning soon, so we should retreat."
"Master, I'm done here, let's go," Bai Lan transmitted back.
"Alright."
Ye Ling thought for a moment, confirmed he was fine, and then no longer lingered. He immediately activated the Source Text, teleporting himself and Bai Lan, who was at the Overseer headquarters on the other side, away.
Meanwhile...
The Lord of the Upper Realm was still sitting in Bai Yue's courtyard, diligently recording the information of all prisoners in the Overseer headquarters' cells using the power Ye Ling had given him, completely unaware of the chaos unfolding outside.
Not long after Ye Ling left the Overseer headquarters with Bai Lan, "Brain" descended above the Overseer headquarters.
He looked at the devastated Overseer headquarters, the dead Twins, the destroyed Tian Ji, and the missing "Hand," falling into an endless silence.
All the Overseers, upon seeing "Brain's" return, dared not move. The entire Overseer headquarters was plunged into extreme oppression, everyone fearing "Brain's" outburst!
However, this time, "Brain" uncharacteristically did not fly into a rage. He calmly reviewed everything that had happened in the Overseer headquarters from the Overseers' perspectives, and then used his power to restore the entire Overseer headquarters to its original state.
Subsequently, "Brain" issued an order to all Overseer members: "All surviving Overseers, immediately abandon your current tasks and search the entire Primordial Chaos, dedicating all efforts to finding Ye Ling and anyone related to Ye Ling."
"Furthermore, all frontline Overseer forces are to immediately withdraw from the competition for the Primordial Realm, return to the Primordial Chaos to recuperate, and simultaneously dispatch elite squads to search outside the Primordial Chaos for the Sky Walker headquarters."
"Once the Sky Walkers are found, all Overseers are to destroy the Sky Walkers completely, at all costs!"
After "Brain's" orders were issued, a tremendous upheaval occurred within the entire Overseer organization!
