In the space of consciousness, Ye Ling entered a miraculous state.
He seemed to have forgotten himself, standing silently before the transparent rune of the Primal Martial King, motionless.
The transparent rune gradually began to glow. Although it had not yet received the Primal Martial King's power, it now emitted a peculiar energy that slowly enveloped Ye Ling.
The transparent rune grew brighter, even illuminating the other six runes.
Soon, all seven runes in Ye Ling's consciousness space, regardless of whether they had received the Primal King's power, were connected by a beam of light, revolving slowly around Ye Ling.
Then, the transparent rune belonging to the Primal Martial King moved to the center of Ye Ling's chest, while the other six runes spread out, forming a hexagram with the Primal Martial King's rune as the center!
Ye Ling suddenly opened his eyes and began to practice martial arts in his consciousness space.
Each move and stance contained the principles of the Great Dao, possessing infinite power.
In the independent spacetime, Ye Ling also activated his Devouring Domain, devouring the surrounding spiritual energy while unconsciously practicing martial arts with the absorbed spiritual energy.
His breathing frequency, muscle exertion, and the speed of spiritual energy flowing through his meridians were all incredibly perfect.
At this moment, Ye Ling utilized the power he absorbed to its absolute limit, without a shred of waste.
Logically, all movement in the world is accompanied by energy loss.
For example, if Ye Ling absorbed one hundred units of energy with his Devouring Domain, he could only absorb ninety-five units himself. When he then applied that energy, only ninety remained.
Whether it was spiritual energy flowing through meridians, nourishing the body and soul, or transmitting through space, there were always more or less losses, preventing one hundred percent efficiency.
But now, Ye Ling seemed to defy this fundamental principle of the Great Dao. All his power was used without any loss, achieving one hundred percent efficiency!
This subtle change, though seemingly not altering Ye Ling's realm, directly increased his actual combat power by ten percent!
And this increase would become even more terrifying as Ye Ling's strength grew.
"That is..."
Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian were drawn by the unique power emanating from Ye Ling. Both of them stared at the moves Ye Ling performed, completely entranced.
Vaguely, they seemed to see the King of Extreme Martial Arts!
No...
It seemed to be an existence even higher than the King of Extreme Martial Arts...
The Emperor of Extreme Martial Arts...
For some reason, this title appeared in Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian's minds.
Meanwhile, in the consciousness space, Ye Ling's transformation had not stopped.
The transparent rune of the Primal Martial King, which was at the center, swapped positions with the rune of the Primal Space-Time King, placing the Primal Space-Time King's rune at the center, with the Primal Martial King's transparent rune and the other five runes forming a hexagram.
Ye Ling's aura underwent another massive change.
In the consciousness space, countless spacetimes were born in an instant, time accelerated madly, and innumerable civilizations emerged and were destroyed around Ye Ling.
It was as if, every moment, eons passed around Ye Ling.
Around Ye Ling's physical body, spacetime also rapidly distorted. The river of time twisted with Ye Ling's movements, engulfing Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian, allowing them to simultaneously witness their past, present, and future... and, countless versions of themselves.
At this moment, Ye Ling seemed to have merged with spacetime. He became the origin of the river of time, and also its end.
He seemed to be everywhere in history.
He thrust a sword in the present, and sword marks appeared in the past and future spacetimes.
It was as if every action of Ye Ling would become eternal, imprinted in history,貫穿 the beginning and end of the river of time.
Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian, immersed in the water of time, stared dumbfounded at Ye Ling's sword strike that transcended spacetime, their minds blank.
If they could still understand some of the moves Ye Ling was performing now, then his current methods had completely surpassed their comprehension.
While Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian were plunged into endless shock, Ye Ling's transformation did not cease.
In the consciousness space, the special rune of the Primal Space-Time King swapped positions with the rune of the Primal Underworld King. All beings in the river of time were bound by an invisible thread, the end of which was in Ye Ling's palm.
Ye Ling slightly tugged at the thread connecting all beings in the river of time, and all beings instantly died, then instantly revived.
The life and death of all beings became meaningless in Ye Ling's hands.
Subsequently, in the consciousness space, the rune of the Primal Underworld King swapped positions with the rune of the Primal Flame King. White flames coiled around Ye Ling, and the white flames rapidly ignited the river of time, and the threads of life and death connecting all beings.
Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian suddenly felt a ball of white fire ignite in their hearts, and a peculiar power surged forth, refining their bones and marrow.
The next moment, in the consciousness space, the rune of the Primal Flame King swapped positions with the transparent rune of the Primal Soul King. Ye Ling's soul power suddenly strengthened considerably, but this time... Ye Ling's changes did not affect the beings in the Primal Chaos.
Shortly after the transparent rune of the Primal Soul King occupied the center of the hexagram, it swapped positions with the rune of the Primal Wisdom King.
All spacetimes and all beings in the river of time were transformed into original text at this moment. All the secrets contained within the Primal Chaos, including the thoughts and desires of all beings, were fully understood by Ye Ling.
And after the rune of the Primal Wisdom King occupied the center, it began to swap positions with the last transparent rune.
As the transparent rune of the Primal Chaos King moved to the center of Ye Ling's consciousness space, the other six runes instantly turned black, the anomalies around Ye Ling vanished, and everything returned to nothingness.
Ye Ling's entire body became chaotic, and a terrifying aura far stronger than Ye Ling's own emanated from within him.
Ye Ling's power doubled!
In the independent spacetime, Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian could no longer see Ye Ling's existence, only endless chaos.
However, the moment Ye Ling transformed into chaos, the power of the Primal Chaos Will surged from Ye Ling's body. In the consciousness space, the seven blackened runes quickly returned to their original state, scattering outwards and re-circling Ye Ling.
In the consciousness space, Ye Ling regained consciousness, suppressed the power of the Primal Chaos Will, and returned it.
The independent space returned to its original state, and Ye Ling regained his composure.
Witnessing all this, Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian's legs went weak. They could no longer stand and immediately knelt before Ye Ling.
"Hoo..."
Ye Ling reopened his eyes, recalling what had just happened, and exhaled a breath of stale air, exclaiming, "I originally wanted to understand the power of the Primal Martial King, but I ended up doing something big for myself!"
"So, I was always in my ordinary form before. By placing any one of the seven King runes at the core, my corresponding King's power could surge. At that time, I could truly be called the Primal Emperor!"
"Moreover, I haven't absorbed the power of the Primal Martial King, Soul King, and Chaos King. Their runes can still serve as the core, allowing me to change my form. It seems... I still haven't truly grasped the seven King runes."
Ye Ling took a deep breath, looked down at Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian who were kneeling, and a slight smile played on his lips as he chuckled, "I... can still become stronger!"
