"This... this feeling is so strange!"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire felt the blood flowing within its body, its face filled with disbelief. "Is this what it feels like to be human?"
Although the World-Destroying Spirit Fire could transform into a human form, its transformation couldn't allow it to truly experience this sensation.
This was the first time it felt so alive, yet so fragile...
"World-Destroying Spirit Fire, how does it feel to be human?" Ye Ling asked with a light chuckle, looking at the stunned expression on the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's face.
"It feels very peculiar... but I'm still a bit unaccustomed. Can you change me back?" the World-Destroying Spirit Fire asked, looking at Ye Ling.
While the feeling of being human was indeed peculiar, it also felt good to be a ball of fire.
"Of course, a simple rearrangement will do."
Ye Ling chuckled and snapped his fingers. The World-Destroying Spirit Fire, which had transformed into a human, dispersed back into particles and reformed into fire.
"I've changed back again!"
Seeing itself return to its original form, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire exclaimed in surprise once more.
No matter how many times it experienced this peculiar sensation, it never tired of it.
After slowly calming down, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire asked Ye Ling, "Kid... does your new ability only have this one function of rearranging things?"
"As of now, yes... but it's not impossible for it to evolve further."
"Your ability is certainly peculiar, but I always feel it lacks any offensive capability..."
"Do you really think my ability has no offensive capability?" Ye Ling raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile in his eyes.
"You only rearrange matter, but that matter still exists. No matter what you turn an enemy into, their power wouldn't disappear, right?" the World-Destroying Spirit Fire questioned.
"Then, would you like to try the ultimate move of my ability?"
Ye Ling smiled at the World-Destroying Spirit Fire. Without waiting for its refusal, he rearranged the World-Destroying Spirit Fire into human form again.
"Kid, kid, what are you doing?"
Seeing itself transformed into a human again, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, still shaken, asked Ye Ling with a trembling voice.
It had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
However, before Ye Ling could answer, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, now human, collapsed straight down, bleeding from all seven orifices, its life force rapidly declining.
"This!!!"
Nuo Ying and Nuo Ye, standing nearby, exclaimed in shock as the World-Destroying Spirit Fire suddenly collapsed. They looked at Ye Ling with confusion, not understanding what had happened.
"Kid... I... I can't breathe, I'm dying... Stop, stop!"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire lay weakly on the ground, struggling to even speak.
It had no idea what was happening to its body, nor why it possessed all its abilities yet was completely unable to use them.
Ye Ling had no intention of taking the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's life. After a brief demonstration, he retracted his divine ability and changed the World-Destroying Spirit Fire back.
"Damn it... I almost died!"
Having returned to its fiery form, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire gasped for breath and looked at Ye Ling with lingering fear. "Kid... what just happened? Why couldn't I control myself at all?"
Ye Ling smiled and said, "Humans are actually quite fragile creatures. If even a minor issue occurs with their internal organs, it can lead to their destruction."
"When I rearranged you into human form just now, I deliberately severed the connection between your brain and your body, preventing you from controlling yourself. Simultaneously, I replaced some essential elements in your blood with other elements... Thus, the blood that sustained your life transformed into a deadly poison."
"But these theories of yours should only be effective on mortals. For beings like us, we can survive even with just a wisp of soul. Why did I look like I was on the verge of death just now?" the World-Destroying Spirit Fire asked again.
This was not him deliberately nitpicking. After all, the enemies Ye Ling currently faced were beings of the level of Primal Kings and the Seven Pillars. Mere physical problems would likely have no effect on them.
"Of course, it's because I also rearranged the power you wield, including your soul, into other forms of matter. Without all your power, you naturally couldn't resist the imminent death." Ye Ling chuckled.
"What do you mean?" Confusion flashed in the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's eyes as it asked.
Ye Ling smiled and explained, "To put it metaphorically, the power you can wield is spiritual energy. I rearranged all the spiritual energy you possessed into chaotic energy. Although the total amount of your power didn't change, you were unable to wield the chaotic energy within your body."
"Of course... this is just a metaphor. Just now, I rearranged all the power you possessed into a form of energy that never existed in the primal chaos. Let alone you, even I don't know how to wield such messy powers."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire clicked its tongue. "Although I still don't quite understand, I feel like your power is quite monstrous. I really want to see what you can do to the Primal Wisdom King..."
"We'll know soon enough," Ye Ling said with a slight smile. "I'm also very curious about what I can achieve."
Although, in theory, Ye Ling could instantly kill any enemy using his "world," enemies were not mere passive targets. When Ye Ling decomposed them into their most basic matter, they would also resist and strive to maintain their original form.
Ye Ling could easily manipulate the World-Destroying Spirit Fire entirely because the gap between them was too vast, and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire couldn't resist Ye Ling's power at all!
However, when facing powerhouses of the level of the Primal Wisdom King and the Seven Pillars, he himself didn't know the extent of his power.
As Ye Ling was testing his abilities, Mu Bai, who had been excited, also emerged from the wooden house. "We've finally succeeded! Those special characters are the fundamental rules that constitute the entire primal chaos, just like the molecules and atoms that make up matter. This is a monumental discovery!"
Mu Bai said excitedly, then looked at Ye Ling. "Ye Ling, I have many ideas in my mind now. As long as we master how to use these special characters, we will be invincible!"
"Is it really that exaggerated?"
Ye Ling smiled and looked at Mu Bai.
After fully mastering the special characters, he had developed his new abilities with their aid, though he hadn't had a chance to share this with Mu Bai yet.
However, Ye Ling had only gained a preliminary understanding of the special characters and hadn't developed other functions. If Mu Bai could delve deeper into the efficacy of these special characters, Ye Ling believed his "world" could advance even further!
"Of course, don't underestimate these special characters. They completely overturned our understanding of the world... No wonder the Primal Wisdom King annihilated us Hundred-Quality Star people back then just because we discovered these special characters!"
"With these special characters, I'm even confident I can defeat the Primal Wisdom King!"
