"So, the two big shots behind you might have betrayed you. My understanding is correct, isn't it?" Chu Yun asked Ye Ling after listening to his analysis.
Ye Ling shook his head, "You can't say that. Shan'e's strength is far beyond mine. In terms of power, vision, and the platforms they stand on, they are not something I can compare to now. I'm not qualified for them to betray me."
"Rather than saying I was betrayed, it's more like they might have abandoned me and chosen someone else."
Chu Yun pouted, "You're too modest. You're on par with, or even surpass, a strong individual like 'Nao'. Looking at the Void and its dark side, there are probably not many people stronger than you. If even you judge yourself this way, how should we others be considered?"
Ye Ling chuckled, "You haven't met Shan'e and don't understand them, so it's normal. Just to mention my two biggest killing moves, the power of creation and runes, were both taught to me by Shan'e. I estimate that what I've learned from them is only superficial."
Chu Yun: "That exaggerated?"
Ye Ling: "Well... regardless, Shan'e can be considered my masters. Even if they changed their plans, I can't blame them. What I need to do now is to do my own thing... not to prove anything, but for myself."
"Alright... do you have any plans next?" Chu Yun didn't dwell too much on Shan'e, whom she hadn't met, and asked Ye Ling.
Ye Ling propped his chin, contemplating, "In my opinion, even if 'Nao' fabricated some facts in what he said to you and Karma before, his story must be based on reality and not baseless.
"This means that the powers that suddenly appeared within me might indeed be related to the power of the Chaos of the Destroyer Star, and once those powers emerge, I might lose control and become ruthless."
Chu Yun asked, "So, you want to suppress those powers?"
Ye Ling shook his head, "No, quite the opposite. I want to master those powers."
Ye Ling already had a heart demon active outside, and he had even cooperated with his heart demon many times. He himself did not feel repulsed by the various powers hidden within him.
Chu Yun had witnessed the terrifying power within Ye Ling. Hearing that Ye Ling actually wanted to master those powers, she couldn't help but be shocked. "Those powers are incredibly bizarre and definitely do not belong to any other energy in the current Void. If your consciousness is devoured by those powers, it will be irreversible."
Ye Ling: "I've also considered this, but the trump cards I rely on are all from Shan'e. Even the power that helped me become the master of the Primordial Chaos has now been abolished by me... Currently, the only powers that truly belong to me are the underdeveloped 'World' and the half-finished Karma technique 'Customizing the Future'. Those powers are not mature and are not suitable for dealing with future dangers."
"Now that 'Nao' likely has Shan'e behind him, even though I consider them my masters and have accomplished many things with their power, the runes and the power of creation may no longer be reliable in the future. I must master enough strong power."
"The mysterious powers that have appeared within me may not be an opportunity for me."
Chu Yun pursed her lips, "Since you say so, then I have nothing more to say. After all, it's your power, and you should handle it yourself."
Ye Ling looked at Chu Yun, "Before I go to deal with those powers, I have one more concern."
Chu Yun: "Go ahead."
Ye Ling: "If what 'Nao' said is true, and those powers are the real culprits behind the Chaos of the Destroyer Star, what will you do?"
Hearing Ye Ling's concern, Chu Yun chuckled, "You're actually considering this! Don't worry, I'm not a rigid old-fashioned person, and past events cannot be undone. We have to look to the future."
"In my opinion, power itself has no good or evil; it depends on the person using it. Even if the power you possess is the mastermind of the Chaos of the Destroyer Star, it has nothing to do with you now."
"Although my strength is not very strong now, I am good at judging people. I believe in you."
"Of course, if you lose your sanity because of those powers and become a beast, I won't show you any mercy."
Ye Ling chuckled, "With your words, I am completely at ease. Next... it's time to consider how to subdue those disobedient powers."
As Ye Ling spoke, the black shadows around him reappeared, all exuding strong malice towards Ye Ling.
Now that Ye Ling understood how these black shadows appeared, there was no longer any confusion in his eyes. He said to Chu Yun, who had entered a state of alert, "Chu Yun, you step aside. These black shadows are all targeting me. Let me handle it alone."
Chu Yun: "Can you do it alone?"
"Trust me."
After Ye Ling gave Chu Yun a confident smile, Chu Yun also smiled and then ascended, leaving the battlefield.
After Chu Yun left, Ye Ling closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then, the black shadows in his consciousness space launched an attack on him again.
For some unknown reason, the strength of these black shadows had increased significantly this time, and their hostility towards Ye Ling was becoming stronger and stronger, as if they wanted to kill Ye Ling by any means necessary.
But Ye Ling seemed to have seen through all the movements of the black shadows. No matter how many black shadows rushed in front of Ye Ling, he only needed one sword to deal with them.
Moreover, this time, Ye Ling stopped deliberately using the Void Sword and began to create a new sword technique according to his own ideas.
Chu Yun, standing in the air, watched Ye Ling's fighting style below and couldn't help but murmur to herself, "The sword technique Ye Ling is using now doesn't seem to be the Void Sword, but it has traces of the Void Sword everywhere... Has he comprehended a new sword technique from the Void Sword? Is he trying to break free from the Void Sword now?"
"But he hasn't even entered the third stage of the Void Sword, and his realm is not perfected. Can adapting the Void Sword like this really make him stronger?"
Chu Yun couldn't quite figure out Ye Ling's intentions with his strange sword technique.
Even ordinary martial artists in the mortal world knew that Ye Ling's current scattered focus was a great taboo in martial arts practice, easily leading to qi deviation.
However, Ye Ling didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what he was doing. He continued to swing his sword at the black shadows, gradually improving according to his own rhythm.
But as time passed, the black shadows in Ye Ling's consciousness space grew more numerous, and even the entire space turned dark.
The burden on Ye Ling's sword gradually increased.
Everything in the consciousness space became oppressive.
Ye Ling, who was originally strolling leisurely, now had a layer of black qi appearing on his face, and his movements became stiff.
"Ye Ling is not right now... Are those powers starting to erode his consciousness? When did he start absorbing those powers?"
Chu Yun frowned slightly when she saw Ye Ling's condition. She had no idea what Ye Ling had done.
However, despite her many doubts, Chu Yun had no intention of intervening and continued to watch from the sidelines.
"Ye Ling... what are you planning?"
Crack!!!
While Chu Yun was worried, the sword Ye Ling used to kill the black shadows suddenly broke.
A black shadow seized this opportunity, approached Ye Ling, and directly thrust its hand into Ye Ling's heart!
