"Did you see this bracelet?"
Hearing Jiu Ling's words, Ye Ling was slightly stunned and confirmed.
Jiu Ling nodded, "I vaguely remember... but the memory is very blurry. It's probably because the Emperor cut off part of my soul, damaging that part of my memory."
"I can't recall what it is for the moment, but I can confirm that what Feng Ke said is correct, this bracelet is very important."
"So it wasn't that girl talking nonsense..." Ye Ling looked at the silver bracelet in his hand, his eyes deepening, as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, Ye Ling closed the spatial gate and said to Jiu Ling, "With your strength, staying here won't hold me back. You have the power to protect yourself, so follow me."
"Since you can recognize this bracelet, it's likely that part of your memory is only temporarily blocked. Perhaps you'll remember when you see something crucial."
"Yes! That's what I thought too!" Jiu Ling nodded, her eyes lighting up, "It is Jiu Ling's honor to be able to help the Emperor!"
She had just become Ye Ling's spirit beast and had no achievements to her name. She estimated that she wouldn't be heavily relied upon.
Now was the perfect opportunity for her to make a contribution!
As long as she performed well in front of Ye Ling, her future life might be much better.
Rumble...
At this moment, the Calamity Mother Body rushed out of the Central Sky-Piercing Tower. It looked like a black octopus, with tentacles entwined with black energy, constantly whipping the ground and shattering the entire ancient ruins.
Looking at the Calamity Mother Body, Ye Ling felt as if he were looking at a demon god from a Cthulhu world.
Ye Ling chuckled, "This little thing looks quite unique."
The Calamity also flew out of the Central Sky-Piercing Tower, but before it could do anything, its head was pierced by a tentacle of the Calamity Mother Body. Its power was completely absorbed by the Calamity Mother Body, and its massive body turned into a dried corpse.
"Wh-what is that?"
The surviving异士 (Yishi - cultivators/specialists) were driven out of the Central Sky-Piercing Tower by the tentacles. Upon seeing the colossal creature hovering above the Central Sky-Piercing Tower, infinite fear appeared in their eyes, and their hearts trembled!
The Calamity Mother Body had delivered a tremendous spiritual shock to everyone!
However, the 异士 from the Hong Chen Pavilion were all excited. They began to prostrate themselves towards the Calamity Mother Body, shouting loudly, "We welcome our god's revival!"
"Roar—!"
The Calamity Mother Body roared at the sky. Visible sound waves distorted space, pushing the ancient ruins' space to the brink of collapse and affecting the present world.
The seal placed here by the Sages of the Primordial Era had completely dissipated. There was no longer any power to restrain the Calamity Mother Body here!
"Bold demon! How dare you be so presumptuous!"
Just as the seal shattered, a voice filled with majesty descended from the heavens. The sky was covered with dense clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Ye Ling looked up, the corners of his mouth curling slightly, "Here they come again..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals materialized from the dense clouds. The tall Li Jing, holding the pagoda and clad in armor, stood rigidly in the clouds, exuding an imposing aura!
Behind him, the Giant Spirit God, hundreds of feet tall, stared directly at the Calamity Mother Body below with eyes as dazzling as the sun.
War drums sounded, and horns blared!
All one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals descended!
Beside Li Jing stood Nezha, who trod on wind-fire wheels, was wrapped in the Hun Tian Ling, and held the Qian Kun Circle and a pointed fire spear, as well as Yang Jian, who had a third eye on his forehead, wielded a three-pointed, double-edged blade, and stood with a divine dog beside him.
The cultivation of both Nezha and Yang Jian was at the peak of True Martial, already close to the Saint realm, far stronger than Li Jing, who was only in the Heavenly Palace realm!
"Now all the famous deities have arrived."
Ye Ling looked at the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers in the sky, shaking his head and smiling, unsure how to describe his current feelings.
Seeing the mythological heroes he was so familiar with from his childhood, Ye Ling couldn't help but feel a ripple of emotion.
This was the third time he had seen people from the Heavenly Court.
From the first time with the Thunder God and Electric Mother leading the troops, to the second time Li Jing went on an expedition, and now the complete force of a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals... even the battle formation when they suppressed the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was probably no more than this.
Although Ye Ling was somewhat accustomed to this scene, the other demonic beasts and 异士 in the ancient ruins were all dumbfounded and their minds went blank upon seeing the celestial beings in the sky!
Deities of Yan Hua?
As everyone saw the silver armor, this thought surged into their minds, leaving them utterly shocked.
Their worldview had been shattered by this spectacular scene!
"Emperor, we meet again."
Li Jing flew before Ye Ling on a auspicious cloud and bowed slightly, a wry smile on his face. He was also unsure how to describe his feelings.
For Li Jing, he had just returned to the Heavenly Court and hadn't even had time to drink a sip of water when another great disaster struck the mortal realm. He hadn't had time to change his armor before descending to the mortal realm again.
Although the aura emanating from the Calamity Mother Body made Li Jing feel extremely uneasy, with Nezha and Yang Jian present this time, he wasn't too worried about what kind of disaster the demon would bring.
Moreover, Ye Ling was still here.
Li Jing vividly remembered Ye Ling's heroic feat of slaying the Titan God with a single sword!
"You are the Emperor Ye Ling who is said to be powerful in the immortal realm recently? I heard you slew the Titan God with one sword. As a loose immortal of the mortal world, your strength is greater than all the gods and Buddhas. My name is Nezha. If you have time, let's spar?"
Nezha came over on his wind-fire wheels and greeted Ye Ling.
"Zha'er! Behave yourself!"
Li Jing reprimanded Nezha with a stern face, then apologized to Ye Ling, "My son is ignorant, please forgive him, Emperor."
"It's nothing," Ye Ling waved his hand and asked, "I heard that this ancient ruin was sealed by the Sages of the Primordial Era themselves. Once the Calamity Mother Body awakens, their seal will activate and automatically annihilate this space."
"But I found those markings have been destroyed. Do you know what happened?"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Li Jing also put away his smile, his expression becoming solemn. He said gravely, "We don't know what happened either. The seal here was fine before, and it was suddenly destroyed."
"Since the Emperor was here before, I thought you might know something?"
"It was fine before?" Ye Ling murmured, his eyes flashing.
Hearing Li Jing say this, he finally understood when the seal here was destroyed.
The power of the Law of Time was awakened, and he summoned the Law of Demonic Dao here. The entanglement of these two laws of power easily weakened the seal of the ancient ruins to its limit.
Coupled with his inability to divide his attention, it was incredibly easy for the person behind the scenes to use the power of the laws to destroy the seal here.
And the awakening of the Law of Time was done by Xuan Xiao using the King Butterfly.
Coupled with the Hong Chen Pavilion's efforts to awaken the Calamity Mother Body, it indicated that the Hong Chen Pavilion was also involved in what happened in this ancient ruin.
Thinking of this, Ye Ling couldn't help but look outside the Central Sky-Piercing Tower at the members of the Hong Chen Pavilion who were still kneeling to the Calamity Mother Body, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
