Ye Ling followed the sound and soon arrived at the edge of the battlefield.
There, a giant face made of scarlet garbled code was being jointly attacked by Kui Ling and Mei Hu, while Mr. Bai had erected a massive barrier on the perimeter, blocking the giant face's escape route.
"Is that the Primal Wisdom King?"
As Ye Ling reached the edge of the battlefield and saw the scarlet giant face, a flash of shock crossed his eyes.
At this moment, the Primal Wisdom King's power was far beyond his imagination. Even with Kui Ling and Mei Hu attacking together, they could only barely suppress the Primal Wisdom King.
It was worth noting that Ye Ling had once possessed thirty percent of the Primal Wisdom King's power and knew that the Primal Wisdom King's peak strength was not much inferior to the Primal Flame King.
Both Kui Ling and Mei Hu were actually stronger than the Primal Flame King, yet now, the two of them working together could only just suppress the Primal Wisdom King...
"Fortunately, I wasn't the first to seek trouble with the Primal Wisdom King. Otherwise, with my strength alone, it would have been difficult to defeat him, let alone not knowing where the Heavenly Mechanism is hidden?"
Ye Ling hid amidst a mess of garbled code, observing the fierce battle in the center of the arena. Even in his current state, he couldn't help but feel the immense power of the Primal Wisdom King and the Seven Pillars.
"How did this damned Primal Wisdom King become so powerful?"
Kui Ling's expression was extremely grim. He seemed to have not expected to be at a disadvantage against the Primal Wisdom King, becoming extremely agitated, and his attack frequency increased.
Seeing Kui Ling becoming more and more impatient, Mei Hu reminded him, "Kui Ling, maintain your offensive rhythm. We have already suppressed the Primal Wisdom King. As long as we attack steadily, we can easily keep him under control!"
"I don't need your reminder! You just need to help me contain some of his energy!" Kui Ling roared at Mei Hu, completely ignoring her advice. Instead, he further intensified his attacks.
Countless blood threads flew out from Kui Ling's body, transforming into sharp spikes that rained down upon the Primal Wisdom King.
And the Primal Wisdom King, restricted by Mei Hu's actions, could only endure Kui Ling's attacks. His giant face, composed of garbled code, rippled with countless waves, revealing dense pinpricks.
However, while the Primal Wisdom King appeared to be taking the brunt of Kui Ling's attacks, he seemed to be able to replenish his energy from the virtual world ceaselessly.
Concurrently, the Primal Wisdom King was constantly analyzing Kui Ling's abilities. As Kui Ling escalated his offensive, the model of Kui Ling in the Primal Wisdom King's mind became clearer.
Ye Ling, observing from the edge of the battlefield, noticed the changes in the Primal Wisdom King. He couldn't help but rest his chin on his hand and mutter, "How did that fellow Kui Ling become one of the Seven Pillars? Mr. Bai and Mei Hu both saw the problem with the Primal Wisdom King, yet he's still increasing his offensive. Is he tired of living?"
Although the Primal Wisdom King was at a disadvantage at this moment, he was continuously accumulating power. Once Kui Ling's weaknesses were exposed, Kui Ling would be doomed!
However, Kui Ling seemed completely unaware of this, launching a relentless assault. He even unleashed dark blood vessels from his entire body, piercing into the Primal Wisdom King's face and connecting with the garbled code.
"Kui Ling! Are you insane!"
Mei Hu exclaimed in shock as Kui Ling directly connected himself with the Primal Wisdom King. "The Primal Wisdom King is currently entirely composed of data bugs. Do you want to end up like Jiu Yuan?"
"Do your job and keep suppressing him!" Kui Ling completely disregarded her words, roaring sternly. More and more blood vessels flew from his body, and these vessels would continuously split in mid-air before connecting with the dense pinpricks on the Primal Wisdom King's face.
"Hmm?"
Ye Ling, observing from the shadows, noticed something amiss. His attention focused on Kui Ling, his pupils widening slightly as a multitude of runes flashed in his eyes.
"This Kui Ling is continuously injecting his blood and soul power into that garbled code. Is he trying to possess the Primal Wisdom King?"
Ye Ling noticed this, realizing it might be Kui Ling's special ability.
Meanwhile, Mr. Bai remained expressionless, calmly watching Kui Ling and Mei Hu's combined assault, as if the battle there had nothing to do with him.
"It's useless... In this space, I am equivalent to the 'Brain.' Your resistance is meaningless," the Primal Wisdom King stated indifferently, his expression unchanged even after his face was pierced by countless blood vessels. His words seemed to mock Kui Ling's futile efforts.
"Shut up! How can you, an ant, dare to compare yourself to the 'Brain'?" Kui Ling shouted, then his lips split open, and his entire body began to melt like dark oil, flowing towards the Primal Wisdom King's giant face along the blood vessels.
Ye Ling looked at the Primal Wisdom King and noticed that many of the tiny data bugs within the code were enveloped by a layer of dark, oily substance, instantly losing their vitality.
"This Kui Ling's power is quite interesting... If I weren't observing from the shadows, I might have fallen for it too," Ye Ling muttered to himself, his evaluation of Kui Ling slightly improved.
However, it was only a slight improvement.
That face only contained the Primal Wisdom King's consciousness. Even if Kui Ling managed to corrupt the entire face, the Primal Wisdom King could unhesitatingly abandon the data bugs that housed his consciousness.
The entire virtual world outside was constructed from code, and within that code were numerous data bugs. It could be said that as long as the Primal Wisdom King wished, he could create a new face at any time.
Mei Hu also saw this and immediately reminded Kui Ling, "Kui Ling! This is merely the Primal Wisdom King's consciousness. You must capture his escaping true form, otherwise, you cannot kill him!"
"I don't need you to remind me. Now, you retreat. I don't need you anymore!"
Kui Ling declared loudly, then melted himself and merged completely with the Primal Wisdom King through the blood vessels.
Soon, the giant face made of scarlet garbled code turned completely black, with large amounts of dark oil flowing down its face.
And as this dark oil merged with the Primal Wisdom King's face, it spread rapidly in all directions like a plague. All the scarlet code in the space was enveloped by the dark oil, and the wriggling data bugs within lost their vitality.
"Bai, remove your barrier. The Primal Wisdom King can't escape anymore!"
Kui Ling's voice emanated from the Primal Wisdom King's giant face, giving instructions to Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai calmly looked at Kui Ling, who had possessed the Primal Wisdom King, without uttering a word, and directly removed the barrier.
Without the restraint of the barrier, the dark oily substance spread at an extremely rapid pace. The scarlet code of this space quickly turned black. Ye Ling, hidden within the code, watched helplessly as a sky-filling wave of oil surged towards him.
