A moment after Bailan and the other two left, Ye Ling came back to his senses and said to Yin Guo, "Forget it, let's not discuss this heavy topic for now. Let's deal with 'Xin' first."
"Yin Guo, you know what to do next, right?"
"I know!"
Yin Guo replied, and without waiting for Ye Ling's reminder, he flew to an open space and placed his palm on the barren ground.
Rumble!
Soon, the earth began to shake.
"Rise!"
Yin Guo shouted, and then pulled his palm upwards forcefully, directly pulling a giant, decaying heart from the ground!
That decaying heart was similar to the withered one Ye Ling had before, but the difference was... at the center of that decaying heart, the "Xin" that should have disappeared was there, wrapped in countless blood threads.
"'Xin'."
Ye Ling's gaze became solemn as he saw the "Xin" within the decaying heart.
Logically, after "Xin" sacrificed herself using the Heart of Annihilation, she had perished... and Ye Ling would have followed in "Xin's" footsteps under the influence of the Heart of Annihilation.
However, due to the appearance of Ye Ling's inner demon, the effect of the Heart of Annihilation was interrupted, allowing Ye Ling to survive.
It was precisely because of this that "Xin," who should have died, also managed to cling to life and reform her body.
However, "Xin" did not have Yin Guo's assistance. Ye Ling could recover to his peak state with the help of Yin Guo and the power of creation, while "Xin's" consciousness was still in chaos, half-asleep.
Yin Guo looked at the "Xin" wrapped in blood threads within the decaying heart and said to Ye Ling, "Master, she doesn't seem to have woken up yet. Should we completely obliterate her now?"
Ye Ling shook his head, "No, even if we kill 'Xin,' 'Nao' still has a way to revive 'Xin,' and even... 'Nao' might create an even more terrifying 'Xin'."
If "Xin" alone were to revive, with Yin Guo's awakening, Ye Ling would not truly fear "Xin" using the Heart of Annihilation again.
What Ye Ling was worried about now was the fusion of "Nao," "Shou," "Zu," "Shen," and "Xin"...
Ye Ling could not imagine what kind of monster would be created if these five leaders of the Overseers, who were already terrifying individually, were to merge.
As the original master of chaos, Ye Ling now had the confidence to contend with "Nao," and even the confidence to kill "Nao," but Ye Ling did not have the confidence to fight against the fusion of "Nao, Shou, Zu, Shen, Xin."
Therefore, before confronting "Nao," Ye Ling needed to ensure that "Nao" could not merge, and the current weakened "Xin" was the key!
As long as "Xin" was alive, "Nao" could not revive another "Xin" to achieve a complete form!
After seeing that Ye Ling did not want to kill "Xin," Yin Guo immediately understood Ye Ling's intention and asked, "Then what do you plan to do, Master? Seal 'Xin'?"
"But 'Xin' has only displayed the ability of the Heart of Annihilation so far. Perhaps she has other trump cards, or even other karma techniques. Simply sealing her would be too risky."
Ye Ling nodded, "Indeed, 'Xin' is still very mysterious. I can even vaguely sense danger from her. Simply sealing her would be digging our own grave."
Yin Guo: "Cannot kill, cannot seal... then what else can we do? We can't possibly win her over, can we?"
Upon hearing Yin Guo's words, Ye Ling's eyes lit up, and he clapped Yin Guo on the shoulder, "Yes! Win her over! You're quite smart, kid! I almost overlooked it!"
Yin Guo was stunned by Ye Ling's sudden excitement and couldn't help but ask Ye Ling, "Master, are you not awake yet? 'Xin' is the leader of the Overseers, equivalent to the enemy's boss. How can we win her over?"
"Moreover, with 'Xin's' strength, simple mental control wouldn't be able to control her, right?"
"Don't let her come to our side, and we don't even need her to know that she has betrayed the Overseers!"
Ye Ling thought of something and immediately instructed Yin Guo, "Yin Guo, watch me!"
"Master, what are you doing?"
As soon as Yin Guo asked, Ye Ling directly used the World Demon Heart on "Xin," and Ye Ling's main body toppled straight to the ground.
Seeing this, Yin Guo quickly supported Ye Ling, but when he remembered that it was "Xin" controlling Ye Ling's body at the moment, he quickly pressed Ye Ling to the ground, even suppressing Ye Ling with his own power.
As long as Ye Ling made the slightest movement, Yin Guo would not hesitate to act!
At the same time, after Ye Ling's consciousness took control of "Xin's" body, he did not pry into "Xin's" memories, nor did he even let "Xin's" body revive. Instead, he directly manipulated the spiritual energy within "Xin's" body to condense some runes, and then quietly merged them into "Xin's" bloodline, flowing with "Xin's" meridians.
After doing this, Ye Ling immediately withdrew the World Demon Heart and swapped bodies with "Xin."
Yin Guo, who was suppressing Ye Ling and extremely tense, felt a jolt when he saw Ye Ling's finger move. He immediately activated the Karma Mirror Domain and unhesitatingly struck at Ye Ling!
"Don't attack! It's me!"
As soon as Ye Ling opened his eyes, he sensed Yin Guo's power approaching and instinctively activated the Karma Mirror Domain!
Yin Guo's power struck Ye Ling, and that power was instantly reflected back at Yin Guo with twice the force, and then reflected back at Ye Ling with four times the force and four times the speed!
Clang clang clang!!!
In the moment Ye Ling spoke, Yin Guo's power had bounced dozens of times between Ye Ling and Yin Guo!
Only after Ye Ling reacted did he quickly pull Yin Guo away from himself!
Boom!!!
An incredibly terrifying energy surged towards the sky. The illusionary barrier, like the firmament, was easily shattered like a thin piece of paper.
A beam of dark light broke through the Primordial Realm, flew into the void, and finally disappeared into the darkness.
Ye Ling and Yin Guo lay side by side on the ground, staring blankly at the large hole in the sky, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Yin Guo... did you see that?"
Yin Guo pursed his lips and trembled, "I-I saw it... that power, it's too exaggerated, isn't it?"
He had only used a little bit of his strength just now, less than thirty percent...
But after that power rebounded within the Karma Mirror Domain between him and Ye Ling, the power that erupted was exaggerated to a degree that even Ye Ling could not imagine!
If Ye Ling hadn't used the Karma Mirror Domain, he would have been instantly annihilated by that infinitely amplified power!
Ye Ling turned to look at Yin Guo lying beside him and said, "Yin Guo... it seems we've unlocked an incredible killing move."
Crack!
As soon as Ye Ling finished speaking, the illusionary barrier, and even the barrier of the entire Northern Battlefield, and even the Primordial Realm's barrier, shattered instantly!
