"Only you, kid?"
Seeing Ye Ling step forward voluntarily, Jian San Xiao's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, his mockery and disdain unhidden.
Ye Ling's cultivation hadn't even reached the level of a supreme expert. In Jian San Xiao's eyes, such strength was less than a single finger of his!
Ye Ling was happy to be underestimated by Jian San Xiao, and said with a smile, "Old man, your era has passed. Now is the world of the young."
"Even if you have the Seed of Origin, believe it or not, I can deal with you without lifting a finger?"
"Absurd!" Jian San Xiao burst into laughter, his gaze towards Ye Ling filled with pity.
"I originally thought that whoever could kill Jian Thirteen would be some extraordinary genius, but from what I see now, you are nothing more than an arrogant fool! You truly disappoint me."
"Is that so?"
Ye Ling smiled faintly at Jian San Xiao, and the chains coiled around him shot towards Jian San Xiao at an extremely fast speed!
"Petty trick!"
Jian San Xiao's eyes grew more amused as he saw the black chains attacking him. He didn't dodge or evade, allowing the black chains to entwine him.
"Kid, you don't actually think these fragile chains of yours can threaten me, do you?" Jian San Xiao still didn't realize the gravity of the situation, taunting Ye Ling.
In his eyes, Ye Ling was equivalent to an ant, and Ye Ling's attacks wouldn't even leave a white mark on his skin!
He only needed to release a little spiritual energy to shatter Ye Ling's chains.
"With your feeble attacks, even if you attacked for a hundred million years, you wouldn't be able to harm me in the slightest!"
Seeing Jian San Xiao's arrogant demeanor, a smile flickered in Ye Ling's eyes. He sighed softly, "Perhaps, instead of becoming a supreme expert, I've become even stronger..."
Jian San Xiao had no defenses against him whatsoever!
Ye Ling felt that binding Jian San Xiao was even easier than binding the ferocious beast before!
Unexpectedly, Ye Ling had set up the Devouring Domain and the Ink Space without any effort. Ye Ling couldn't help but shake his head and smile, then asked Jian San Xiao, "Old man, may I ask presumptuously, how many Seeds of Origin do you have now?"
"What? Before you die, you want to know how powerful I am?" Jian San Xiao smiled at Ye Ling. "Very well, let you die in understanding... I just seized a Seed of Origin from a lower realm. Now I have two!"
"Kid, you haven't even stepped into the supreme expert realm. Do you know what a Seed of Origin is?"
"Of course I know." Ye Ling bowed to Jian San Xiao. "Then thank you, senior, for gifting us two Seeds of Origin."
"What do you mean?" Jian San Xiao was stunned by Ye Ling's sudden, inexplicable remark. "I gifted you Seeds of Origin? Kid, are you crazy?"
"Of course not." Ye Ling narrowed his eyes and smiled. "It's just that you are too arrogant... You've been bound by my Devouring Domain for so long without even struggling. You're the first."
"Devouring Domain?"
When Jian San Xiao heard Ye Ling's words, an ominous premonition surged in his heart. He realized that Ye Ling's black chains might be tricky and immediately tried to break them!
However, as soon as he activated his spiritual energy, he felt the black chains binding him directly drain more than half of his spiritual energy!
"This is!!!"
Jian San Xiao's expression changed drastically as he discovered that more than half of the spiritual energy in his body had suddenly vanished. He tried to reclaim his drained spiritual energy but found no trace of it in Ye Ling's chains.
The vast amount of spiritual energy he had absorbed seemed to have evaporated into thin air, completely disappearing!
"My spiritual energy vanished into thin air? How is this possible?"
Terror appeared in Jian San Xiao's eyes. He immediately broke free from the chains binding him and questioned Ye Ling, "Kid, what did you do to me?"
"Senior, haven't you realized it yet?" Ye Ling smiled at Jian San Xiao, his eyes filled with growing amusement.
"Realized what?" Jian San Xiao looked at Ye Ling's unsettling smile, and a sense of inexplicable irritation surged in his heart.
"Stop playing tricks. I don't care what you did. Even if I only have half my spiritual energy left, killing you is like slaughtering a chicken!" Jian San Xiao pushed his thoughts aside and roared at Ye Ling.
He had already realized that Ye Ling was somewhat peculiar and no longer held back. He immediately summoned a divine sword and thrust it towards Ye Ling.
However, as soon as he harbored killing intent towards Ye Ling, a strange tremor suddenly struck his heart.
In the next moment, he couldn't suppress the urge to take out his Seed of Origin that surged within him. He directly pierced his own chest with the divine sword and extracted the two refined Seeds of Origin from his body!
Then, under the stunned gazes of Tian Xing and Mie Shi Ling Huo, Jian San Xiao forcibly severed his connection with the two Seeds of Origin and sent them to Ye Ling.
"Thank you for your gift, senior."
Ye Ling smiled and accepted the two masterless Seeds of Origin, then distributed them to Tian Xing and Mie Shi Ling Huo, saying, "Tian Xing, Mie Shi Ling Huo, absorb the Seeds of Origin. Don't let Jian San Xiao's good intentions go to waste."
"Li-little kid..." Mie Shi Ling Huo looked at the Seeds of Origin surging with terrifying energy before him, his mind reeling, and looked at Ye Ling in disbelief. "What sorcery did you use?"
Tian Xing was also dumbfounded, unable to understand what Ye Ling had done to make Jian San Xiao willingly give up his Seeds of Origin!
This was simply unbelievable!
"That's... my Seed of Origin!!!"
At this moment, Jian San Xiao completely broke down. He roared, unleashing the full might of a supreme expert, overturning the entire desert!
Seeing Jian San Xiao's rampage, Tian Xing and Mie Shi Ling Huo stopped thinking about what Ye Ling had done and absorbed the Seeds of Origin into their bodies, beginning to refine them.
These free Seeds of Origin were too good to pass up!
As Tian Xing and Mie Shi Ling Huo began to absorb the Seeds of Origin, their auras surged, while Jian San Xiao's strength plummeted after losing two Seeds of Origin, posing no threat to Tian Xing and Mie Shi Ling Huo.
However, Jian San Xiao was now blinded by rage. He only wanted to reclaim the Seeds of Origin he had painstakingly acquired!
He had walked on the edge of death countless times and escaped death numerous times to compete for Seeds of Origin with other supreme experts!
But, he had only obtained the second Seed of Origin not long ago. Just as he was about to become an supreme existence and madly seize other Seeds of Origin... he had given his Seeds of Origin away like this?
"I can't accept this ahhhhhh!"
Jian San Xiao's face became extremely distorted. He moved towards Ye Ling at a speed Ye Ling couldn't track, "Kid! Give back the Seeds of Origin!"
However, facing Jian San Xiao's overwhelming aura, Ye Ling remained motionless, smiling and waiting for Jian San Xiao to attack!
And as Jian San Xiao's divine sword was about to pierce Ye Ling's forehead, it suddenly stopped!
Jian San Xiao's attack vanished instantly!
"This, this..."
Jian San Xiao looked at his own trembling hand holding the sword in confusion, not understanding why he had stopped at this moment?
He...
Didn't want to kill Ye Ling?
Realizing this, Jian San Xiao looked at Ye Ling in horror and stammered, "Li-little kid... what did you do to me?"
Ye Ling smiled at Jian San Xiao and pointed to his own head.
Seeing Ye Ling's gesture, Jian San Xiao seemed to understand something. He immediately looked inward at his soul and discovered that his soul had somehow turned into text!
And in the most conspicuous place of his soul's head, three glaring sentences were written!
The first sentence: "Jian San Xiao voluntarily gives up his Seeds of Origin!"
The second sentence: "Jian San Xiao shall never harm Ye Ling!"
The third sentence: "Jian San Xiao, upon attacking Ye Ling, will commit suicide out of shame!"
"This!!!"
Jian San Xiao's pupils contracted sharply as he saw the words written in his soul. He suddenly understood where his lost spiritual energy had gone?
However, by the time Jian San Xiao realized the terrifying nature of Ye Ling's domain, it was too late.
The mistake was made!
Suddenly, unbearable shame surged within him. He then tremblingly placed the sword across his neck.
"No, no..." Jian San Xiao's eyes filled with endless fear. He looked at Ye Ling in terror and pleaded, "Ye Ling, I was wrong... spare me!"
"I don't want to die yet!"
"Senior, haven't you understood yet?" Ye Ling smiled at Jian San Xiao. "You wanted to die yourself!"
"Senior, you truly believe that you have no value in living anymore."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Jian San Xiao trembled, and then his eyes became dazed.
"That's right... I did such beastly things, how can I still have the face to live?" Jian San Xiao muttered, and turbid tears streamed down his cheeks!
*Swish!*
In the next moment, Jian San Xiao unhesitatingly slit his own throat, using his remaining spiritual energy to shatter his soul.
Jian San Xiao, soul scattered and spirit extinguished.
His soulless body fell straight before Ye Ling, buried by the yellow sand.
Tian Xing and Mie Shi Ling Huo, having just finished refining the Seeds of Origin, opened their eyes and looked at Jian San Xiao's corpse lying before Ye Ling, their eyes filled with disbelief, thinking they were dreaming.
"What... just happened?"
