"Alright, from now on, you listen to my commands!"
After finishing his pep talk with Bai Lan, Ye Ling looked at the Primordial Time-Space King's giant hand above the time-pit, his face flushing slightly.
While Bai Lan, who commanded vast amounts of time-space power, was a crucial asset against the Primordial Time-Space King, she was, in essence, just a high school student with a cultivation base of only sixth rank.
Ye Ling, a Primordial Emperor who had absorbed the powers of three kings, was now having to cajole a female high school student into fighting alongside him.
Even with Ye Ling's famously thick skin, he felt a pang of embarrassment.
While Ye Ling and Bai Lan were observing secretly, the Primordial Time-Space King used the giant's life force to stabilize the time-pit, restoring calm to the Time-Void Realm.
Having stabilized the time-pit, the Primordial Time-Space King seemed to recall something. His massive hand vanished from its position.
The next time Ye Ling sensed the Primordial Time-Space King's presence, it was hundreds of thousands of light-years away, at the location where Bai Lan was sealed.
"Fortunately, I created a fake Bai Lan beforehand, even fabricating her soul. He shouldn't discover it for a while!"
Seeing the Primordial Time-Space King heading to inspect Bai Lan's seal, Ye Ling immediately said to Bai Lan, "While we have this time, let's go back to the time-pit!"
"Why are we going back to the time-pit?" Bai Lan asked, puzzled.
"Didn't you notice earlier? The Primordial Time-Space King used the time-space power within that giant to create another batch of light stones. Let's go and take those light stones."
"Master... aren't we being a bit too shameless doing this?" Bai Lan hesitated.
They had just stolen all of the opponent's light stones, even causing the death of a giant in the process. Now, they were going back to steal a second batch so soon.
Bai Lan felt it was excessive just thinking about it!
"What's the big deal? The Primordial Time-Space King is our mortal enemy. Taking his light stones weakens his power. We have justification for doing this!"
Ye Ling said quickly. To save time, he pulled Bai Lan into the depths of the time-pit, then erected a barrier using his Source Text.
"Lan'er, we don't have much time... Absorb as much power from the light stones as you can. I'll take the rest with me."
"Okay..."
Bai Lan didn't dare to delay and once again absorbed the energy from the light stones at the bottom of the time-pit. Ye Ling also collected the remaining light stones into his personal world.
In just a few minutes, the light stones in the time-pit were depleted again. The time-pit, which had finally stabilized, began to fracture once more.
"That's enough! We need to leave!"
Ye Ling collected the last light stone from the bottom of the time-pit and, pulling Bai Lan along, they teleported away!
BOOM!!!
Seconds after Ye Ling and Bai Lan departed, a colossal fist shattered Ye Ling's disguised barrier.
The Primordial Time-Space King, seeing the bottom of the time-pit as clean as his own face, felt his massive fist tremble violently.
The Primordial Time-Space King's face, filled with extreme rage, appeared in the sky.
"Damn scoundrel, you dare to come a second time!"
The Primordial Time-Space King roared, his suppressed fury causing cracks to appear in the sky of the Time-Void Realm.
The time-pit, once again deprived of its light stone energy supply, collapsed again, this time at a much faster rate than before!
BOOM!
As the time-pit completely disintegrated, time, which had been frozen in the Time-Void Realm, began to flow forward again.
The beings in this world started to age.
Even Bai Lan's frozen cultivation base began to loosen. She advanced from sixth rank to seventh rank!
"I broke through?"
Seeing her cultivation suddenly surge, Bai Lan exclaimed in surprise.
"It seems the time-pit is crucial for freezing time in the Time-Void Realm. By destroying the time-pit, we can break the Primordial Time-Space King's seal."
Ye Ling smiled as he saw Bai Lan's cultivation increasing.
Bai Lan was a vital combatant against the Primordial Time-Space King. The stronger she became, the higher their chances of victory.
If Bai Lan were to fight the Primordial Time-Space King with only her sixth-rank cultivation, Ye Ling wouldn't have been entirely confident in absorbing the Primordial Time-Space King.
However, if Bai Lan broke through to become an ultimate powerhouse and wielded her time-space powers with that strength, Ye Ling's chances of defeating the Primordial Time-Space King would be not quite ten percent, but ninety-nine percent!
"I never expected that by simply trying to annoy the Primordial Time-Space King, I would find a way to break the deadlock!"
Seeing a glimmer of hope for breaking the stalemate, Ye Ling didn't hesitate and immediately began to help Bai Lan advance her cultivation.
Under the cover of the Source Text, Bai Lan's aura surged wildly.
Meanwhile, the Primordial Time-Space King seemed to sense a threat. He was no longer lingering near the time-pit, and his entire giant hand vanished.
Soon, the Time-Void Realm, where time had begun to flow, became slow once more.
Bai Lan, who had just broken through to the Supreme Immortal realm, found her progress halted again. No matter how Ye Ling urged the Source Text, her cultivation could not advance further!
"It seems the Primordial Time-Space King has other ways to control the Time-Void Realm..."
Ye Ling didn't force Bai Lan's cultivation beyond its limit and stopped, looking at the time-pit, which was now fractured by time-space.
There, the time-pit had been completely severed by the Time-Void Realm and could no longer affect it.
Bai Lan, still reveling in the exhilarating sensation of her rapidly increasing cultivation, felt a momentary discomfort as her progress abruptly stopped. She asked Ye Ling, "Master, why did you stop?"
"The Primordial Time-Space King is blocking us elsewhere. Supreme Immortal is your current limit."
"So my current realm is called Supreme Immortal?"
Bai Lan had never felt so powerful. She closed her eyes, quietly sensing the spiritual energy flowing within her.
At this moment, she could already control half of the time-space power within her.
"Your current power is still insufficient."
Ye Ling, however, was not satisfied with the current situation.
Previously, he had assumed that Bai Lan's cultivation couldn't increase until the Primordial Time-Space King was dealt with, and he would have to take some risks to defeat him.
But now that there was a way for Bai Lan to break through the Primordial Time-Space King's restrictions and advance her cultivation, he naturally chose the most stable method to defeat the Primordial Time-Space King.
After all, Bai Lan was now Ye Ling's disciple. If possible, Ye Ling didn't want Bai Lan to suffer any harm, not even a scratch.
"Then what should we do now?" Bai Lan, sensing Ye Ling's desire for her to continue breaking through, asked.
"There's a teleportation array left by a giant in the time-pit. That giant was constantly transporting light stones into the array, so I suspect there's another time-pit on the other side of the teleportation array."
"But isn't that teleportation array already destroyed?" Bai Lan hesitated. Having become a Supreme Immortal, she could now sense the situation within the time-pit.
"It's fine... I can repair it. There's no time to lose..."
"Let's go!"
