"Waiting, huh..."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Bai Lan calmed down and quietly looked at the Primal Martial King kneeling on the ground.
The Primal Martial King's hair was disheveled, his eyes vacant, and he was constantly murmuring incomprehensible incantations.
Rumble...
Suddenly, the grand hall began to shake violently. The Extreme Martial Array that enveloped the palace disappeared, and the Primal Martial King's aura began to surge.
"Master!!!" Bai Lan cried out in alarm as she saw the change in the Primal Martial King and quickly looked at Ye Ling.
"Let's leave this palace first!"
Ye Ling couldn't figure out what the Primal Martial King was trying to do, but he had foreseen that the palace was about to be detonated by a special force.
Without much hesitation, Ye Ling grabbed Bai Lan and soared into the sky, leaving the palace.
Boom!!!
Not long after Ye Ling brought Bai Lan out of the palace, the Primal Martial King's body completely merged with the ground, and then the entire palace exploded.
A massive black hole formed beneath the palace, madly devouring the lake water.
"What is this?"
Bai Lan looked at the black hole below and pursed her lips, her heart still pounding.
If Ye Ling hadn't brought her out in time, she would have been swallowed by the black hole below!
Ye Ling stared at the black hole below and said in a deep voice, "I can't probe the situation inside with my divine soul, but I can feel a dangerous aura from within. This black hole should be connected to an unknown spacetime."
"Even you feel it's dangerous, Master?"
Bai Lan was shocked upon hearing Ye Ling's words and looked at him with disbelief.
"Yes..." Ye Ling nodded slightly. "The Primal Martial King must have some hidden trump card we don't know about. We need to be careful from now on."
"What should we do now?" Bai Lan asked again. The development of the situation had made it difficult for her to understand what the Primal Martial King was up to.
Ye Ling looked at the black hole that was continuously devouring the lake water, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I might have to go into that hole to take a look."
"But didn't you say there's a dangerous aura inside that even you feel?" Bai Lan's face showed worry. "Shouldn't we be more cautious and figure out the Primal Martial King's objective first?"
"There's no time..." Ye Ling shook his head. "From that explosion just now, I sensed an energy signal transmitting out of the Extreme Martial Domain and spreading into the Primal Chaos."
"I suspect the Primal Martial King has requested reinforcements from the Monitors. The Monitors might arrive here soon."
"Then I'll go with you, Master."
"No, I have something else for you to do." Ye Ling refused Bai Lan's request to accompany him and transmitted a message to her.
"Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian?"
Bai Lan received Ye Ling's message, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She quickly understood and didn't ask Ye Ling any further questions. She then concealed her aura and fled towards where Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian were.
After Bai Lan left, Ye Ling looked at the black hole that had suddenly appeared below, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself, "Let me see... what's in your gourd?"
With that, Ye Ling took a deep breath and plunged towards the black hole below.
However, just as Ye Ling was about to enter the black hole, he suddenly foresaw his future as pitch black, followed by countless black thorns piercing his body.
"That is!!!"
Foreseeing that ominous future, Ye Ling's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately stopped himself in front of the black hole.
"As expected... Ye Ling, by absorbing the Primal Time King, you can already foresee the future... You despicable fellow, you actually cheated in a sacred duel!!!"
The Primal Martial King's voice echoed from within the black hole, and then a large number of dark hands stretched out from the black hole, grabbing towards Ye Ling and trying to drag him in!
Ye Ling easily dodged the hands extending from the black hole and retreated into the air. After maintaining a certain distance from the black hole, he asked the Primal Martial King, "What are you doing in there?"
"If you want to know, why don't you come in and try?"
The Primal Martial King snorted coldly. "I have already transmitted everything that happened in the Extreme Martial Domain to the Monitors. The Monitors will soon come to capture me and suppress me again."
"Ye Ling, if you don't utterly defeat me before those guys come to the Extreme Martial Domain, you will never obtain my power."
"You'd rather be sealed by the Monitors again than fulfill my wish..."
Ye Ling saw that the Primal Martial King had indeed sent a signal, and his expression became solemn. "In my hands, you could at least keep your life and freedom, just like the Primal Underworld King. But if you fall into the hands of the Monitors again, the consequences are unpredictable."
"After all, in this era, the Seven Primal Kings may not be immortal anymore."
"Hmph! To me, you are no different from those despicable invaders. If you want my power, then come in!"
The Primal Martial King was not polite to Ye Ling at all and did not hide his malice.
"Do you really think I don't dare to come in?" Ye Ling raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Then dare to come in!" the Primal Martial King shouted. "I'll be waiting for you inside!"
"You want me to come in, so I should? Wouldn't that make me lose face?" Ye Ling changed the subject, unaffected by the Primal Martial King's provocation, and just engaged in a verbal spar outside the black hole.
The future he foresaw just now was not a joke.
More importantly, the moment he entered the black hole, he would be pierced by those black thorns, and his fate would be unknown.
Now, with the Primal Martial King openly challenging him in a place that was clearly a trap, Ye Ling would be courting death if he rushed in.
The Primal Martial King was surprised that Ye Ling could still hold back and not enter. He then sneered at Ye Ling, "It seems you're a complete coward. If you hadn't luckily absorbed the power of four Primal Kings, I could crush you with a single finger!"
Ye Ling smiled, "The one hiding in a dog hole has no right to mock me."
"Hmph! Say whatever you want! Even if I'm captured by the Monitors again, I won't let you, you bastard, benefit. Let's just stall here!"
"Stall then! I'd rather not have your power than fall for your trick."
Ye Ling was unyielding, standing in the sky above the black hole, with no intention of entering.
Seeing that he couldn't lure Ye Ling in, the Primal Martial King fell silent again, doing something inside the black hole.
As for Ye Ling, he seemed to have truly given up, standing outside the black hole and confronting the Primal Martial King.
Time ticked by.
A large number of Monitors, who had received the information, opened their eyes outside the Extreme Martial Domain and surrounded it.
The leader of the Monitors was a blond man wearing black armor, whose aura was so powerful that it distorted space naturally.
"Lord Black Knight, according to the signals we intercepted, the Primal Martial King and Ye Ling are within the Extreme Martial Domain," a Monitor respectfully said to the blond man.
This blond man was one of the members of "They," the Black Knight, who had recently returned from outside the Primal Chaos!
"Seal the Extreme Martial Domain, lock down this spacetime, and block teleportation," the Black Knight said coldly, looking at the Extreme Martial Domain ahead, and slightly raised his hand, ordering the Monitors.
"Yes!"
