Mizhou, in the western forbidden domain.
Dry hot winds blew sand and gravel.
The corpse of Jian Sanxiao was gradually buried by the yellow sand.
Ye Ling took off Jian Sanxiao's spatial ring, wiped it with his sleeve, and then threw it to the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, saying, "World-Destroying Spirit Fire, help me remove Jian Sanxiao's restriction. I can't open it."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire took Jian Sanxiao's spatial ring somewhat dazed, stared at Ye Ling in disbelief, and asked, "Kid... you can't even deal with the mark left by Jian Sanxiao on the spatial ring, how did you kill Jian Sanxiao?"
"Is my understanding wrong?"
What had just happened was too dreamlike for the World-Destroying Spirit Fire and Tian Xing!
Not only did they eliminate a great enemy without much effort, but they also obtained two Seed Sources, greatly increasing their strength!
Ye Ling did not hide anything from the World-Destroying Spirit Fire and Tian Xing. He smiled and said, "When I was settling accounts with the Mandate of Heaven, I encountered Evil. I obtained a new domain from him called the Realm of Ink..."
As Ye Ling spoke, he vividly described everything that had happened to him in the world of the text continent to the World-Destroying Spirit Fire and Tian Xing.
"A domain that can turn everything into text and then use text to alter cause and effect... combined with the effect of the Devouring Domain..."
After listening to Ye Ling's description, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire pursed its lips, then looked at Ye Ling with excitement, "Damn it, kid! You've struck it rich! No wonder you gave us two Seed Sources without batting an eye!"
"If I had your two domains, why would I need Seed Sources? I'd immediately transform into an Emperor Crab and roam this Origin Realm!"
"Actually, these two domains aren't as perfect a combination as you think."
Seeing the excited look on the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's face, Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, "I tried it on Jian Sanxiao just now. Although I didn't consume much myself, inscribing words on the soul of an enemy like Jian Sanxiao used up most of my energy. This means... I can only act against one person at a time."
"If there were two or more enemies like Jian Sanxiao, I could at most deal with one, and the others could instantly kill me."
"Invincible in one-on-one combat... but that's still incredibly powerful!" the World-Destroying Spirit Fire sighed, "You know, kid, you're not even a Supreme Being, yet you not only easily dealt with Jian Sanxiao but also extracted Jian Sanxiao's Seed Source!"
"Anyone else would probably detonate their Seed Source before dying rather than give it to someone else!"
"Moreover, if you were surrounded by two or three enemies of Jian Sanxiao's caliber, even Zhou Wen wouldn't be able to withstand it. It would only be a dead end."
"The World-Destroying Spirit Fire is right," Tian Xing also smiled slightly. "Ye Ling, your current combat strength is undoubtedly the strongest among us. You are not a Supreme Being, yet you are stronger than one."
"And theoretically, our combined maximum combat power should be able to defeat three Jian Sanxiao's. Tian Xing and I can each hold off one, you can instantly kill one, and then Tian Xing and I can work together to hold off another, and you can go deal with that one."
"In that case, defeating three 'Jian Sanxiao's' won't be a problem. And with each victory, our overall strength will increase!"
"Tian Xing, you are correct," Ye Ling nodded. "This is also the intention behind me giving you the Seed Sources."
"I am not a Supreme Being yet, and I cannot maximize the power of two Seed Sources. If you two absorb one Seed Source each, our combat power can be maximized."
"Hearing you two say that makes me excited too," the World-Destroying Spirit Fire rubbed its hands and laughed. "If we eliminate one Jian Sanxiao and get two Seed Sources, then if we hunt more 'Jian Sanxiao's', won't the Seed Sources be endless?"
"This way, it won't take long before we truly become invincible!"
"You're dreaming. Jian Sanxiao came to us willingly. You don't usually get so many Seed Sources," Ye Ling laughed.
"I was just thinking... I'm already quite satisfied with having one Seed Source," the World-Destroying Spirit Fire chuckled. "Remember when we first arrived in the Origin Realm, we were so embarrassed by a mere Dao Sect. How long has it been since then? We can now go and destroy the Shangqing Palace!"
"Such a huge change, just thinking about it makes me feel immense gratitude."
"Yes... although the Origin Realm is dangerous, the opportunities are also endless," Tian Xing looked at Ye Ling, her eyes becoming gentle. "Ye Ling, our current achievements are all thanks to your leadership. So in the future... please work even harder, lead us to climb higher mountains, and see more beautiful scenery."
"You saying that puts even more pressure on me," Ye Ling met Tian Xing's gaze. "But you are right, we will definitely see more beautiful scenery in the future."
"Even... catching up to those two and standing shoulder to shoulder with them might not be impossible."
Ye Ling looked at the azure sky, his eyes deepening. He seemed to see two majestic figures in the sky, like two great mountains, waiting for him to climb.
Those two mountains seemed unreachable, yet also within reach.
"Haha... kid, you have a big ambition, thinking of catching up to those two. But I like it!" the World-Destroying Spirit Fire laughed heartily. "Hearing you say that makes me even more eager for that day to truly come. I hope I'm still alive then."
Ye Ling snapped back to attention and teased the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, "That day might come, but whether you're still alive is another matter."
"Kid, are you looking for a beating?" the World-Destroying Spirit Fire roared angrily, immediately transforming into a ball of scorching flame and charging at Ye Ling, trying to roast him into charcoal!
"Can't you take a joke?" Seeing the World-Destroying Spirit Fire charging at him, Ye Ling shouted and immediately fled into the depths of the oasis, "You stingy fellow, I'm going to play with Little Mao Mao."
"Kid, stop right there! See if I don't turn you into roasted meat today!" the World-Destroying Spirit Fire roared and chased after Ye Ling.
"You want to taste the Realm of Ink too, don't you?"
"Kid, how dare you!!!"
Ye Ling and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire bickered and flew further and further away.
Tian Xing, who remained in place, smiled as she watched the backs of Ye Ling and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, her gaze growing even gentler.
She closed her eyes slightly, placed her hands on her chest, and murmured to herself, "That day will surely come... Ye Ling, I will definitely accompany you and witness that day with my own eyes."
A gentle breeze blew, and Tian Xing's long hair fluttered along with her skirt.
"Tian Xing, it's time for us to set off!"
At this moment, Ye Ling's voice came from the depths of the oasis. Tian Xing lowered her hands and replied with a smile, "Yes! I'm coming!"
As the words fell, Tian Xing transformed into a gust of clear wind and chased after Ye Ling.
