The Seed of Origin's consciousness, upon seeing Ye Ling's inner demon appear, its pupils contracted again. It exclaimed, "Why do you still have an inner demon?"
Ye Ling smiled, "Of course, it's because I didn't sever my inner demon, and then my inner demon obeyed my command. Naturally, we both exist simultaneously."
"This, this is impossible..."
The Seed of Origin's consciousness retreated in disbelief, unable to accept what it was seeing.
"No, impossible... If you had an inner demon equal in strength to you, why didn't you release him from the start?"
"If the two of you fought one against two, I would have been dead during the consciousness battle. You absolutely didn't need to be pushed into a corner by me!"
The Seed of Origin's consciousness roared hysterically, unable to accept the fact of its utter defeat.
Ye Ling smiled, "If I could have used him then, I would have released my inner demon to sneak attack you. Why would I have bothered with martial ethics?"
"It's just that an inner demon is still an inner demon. If he could escape the consciousness space at any time, I wouldn't be at ease. So... my inner demon can only appear within the consciousness space. Only in extremely rare and extreme situations can he break out of the consciousness space."
The inner demon said at this moment, "Although I am extremely displeased with the main body's actions, this is also the reason I can survive. I am not entirely unwilling to accept this way of living."
"Only, only appearing within the consciousness space..." Hearing Ye Ling and the inner demon speak, the Seed of Origin's consciousness's eyes grew more desperate.
At this moment, it finally realized that the moment it chose to sneak attack Ye Ling, its current fate was sealed.
Facing Ye Ling's attack, no matter what choice the Seed of Origin's consciousness made, there was only death.
Having figured this out, the Seed of Origin's consciousness became surprisingly calm and began to laugh heartily, "Hahaha... Hahahaha! I have lost... I have truly lost!"
"Ye Ling, this battle was exceptionally brilliant. I lost willingly."
"For some reason, I feel you are becoming more and more like the Evil One... I don't know if this change is your own evolution or manipulation from good and evil."
Ye Ling: "..."
The Seed of Origin's consciousness continued, "I really want to see what your future destiny holds, but alas, I have reached my end. It is time to accept my fate..."
"Ye Ling, you have inherited my power, but you must not die easily at the hands of the Watchers!"
As the Seed of Origin's consciousness finished speaking, it did not wait for Ye Ling's Mo Jian to take effect. It dispersed all its consciousness, transforming into pure energy and surging towards Ye Ling.
Instantly, Ye Ling was enveloped by the Seed of Origin's pure energy. A seed containing infinite energy slowly condensed in the depths of Ye Ling's soul.
Seeing this, Ye Ling's inner demon smiled, "It seems I have to go rest again. The rest is up to you."
As the inner demon finished speaking, it also dissipated into light particles and returned to Ye Ling's self-consciousness space.
The Seed of Origin's consciousness space collapsed, and Ye Ling returned to the Supreme Self space. He could feel that this Supreme Self space, and even the entire Heart of Tongtian, were under his control!
"This... this is what it means to obtain the power of the Seed of Origin?"
Ye Ling clenched his fist and began to try and activate the Seed of Origin, which was as large as the sun and had been corrupted by the Watcher's power!
Boom!!!
A dazzling pillar of white light erupted from the Seed of Origin, breaking through the Watcher's blockade, piercing the Heart of Tongtian, and shooting towards the shattered sky of the Origin Upper Realm!
The originally dark red sky, illuminated by the dazzling white pillar of light, became as bright as day!
The remaining beings in the Origin Upper Realm all looked towards the white light rising into the sky, as if seeing a dawn in the endless darkness.
"What is this..."
The "Ye Ling" who was slaughtering wantonly in the Origin Upper Realm turned his head towards the direction of the Heart of Tongtian, his brow furrowing slightly.
"Why has the Seed of Origin broken free of my restraint?"
"Ye Ling" muttered, casually wiping away the supreme powerhouses and sect disciples who were desperately resisting his attacks, and then soared towards the Heart of Tongtian!
Within the Supreme Self space, a giant eye suddenly opened, staring directly at Ye Ling in the Supreme Self space. It said coldly, "Ye Ling, you finally deigned to come out. Die!"
Without further pleasantries, a giant black claw materialized out of thin air and fiercely grabbed towards Ye Ling!
Ye Ling looked up at the black giant claw, his expression unchanged, and immediately activated the Seed of Origin condensed within his body.
The next moment, Ye Ling's soul appeared outside the Heart of Tongtian, and he saw the devastated land.
"Huh? You can actually come out?"
Those huge eyes opened in the sky of the Origin Upper Realm, staring at Ye Ling with confusion, seemingly extremely perplexed by Ye Ling's actions.
It had completely sealed off the Heart of Tongtian. Logically, Ye Ling's soul should not have been able to escape the Heart of Tongtian!
At this moment, the "Ye Ling" occupying Ye Ling's body also flew back from a distance. Seeing the soul-form Ye Ling standing in the void, he couldn't help but grin, "I didn't expect... I could harvest another Emperor Ancestor's soul!"
Ye Ling glanced at the consciousness that had taken over his body, then looked at the eyes that had opened high in the sky, and asked, "Are there two Watchers, or are you the same person?"
The Watcher said, "I don't need two Watchers to deal with you. The one occupying your body is the new Heavenly Mandate. Of course... this new Heavenly Mandate is not derived from your consciousness, but is a Heavenly Mandate I brought from another universe!"
"So that's how it is..."
Hearing the Watcher's explanation, Ye Ling nodded slightly, but there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
The Heavenly Mandate occupying Ye Ling's body bowed respectfully to the eyes in the sky and requested, "Watcher Lord, please allow me to kill Ye Ling and enjoy supreme glory."
The Watcher said, "Granted."
"Thank you, Watcher Lord!"
Having received the Watcher's permission, the Heavenly Mandate grinned again, immediately opened its five fingers towards Ye Ling, and squeezed fiercely!
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
A large amount of black spikes materialized out of thin air and attacked Ye Ling!
Seeing the spikes coming, Ye Ling could sense their deadly threat and dared not touch them. He continuously dodged at high speed in the air.
The surviving beings in the Origin Upper Realm could only see a large number of black spikes rapidly emerging in the sky, covering an area of several miles.
The sky, which had become bright due to the white light, was once again plunged into darkness under the shroud of countless black spikes!
"Hahaha! Ye Ling, my attacks can cover the entire world. Where can you possibly escape to?"
The Heavenly Mandate's laughter echoed throughout the world. Whether it was mountains and rivers, or sky and sea, endless spikes covered the entire world, making the already fragmented Origin Upper Realm even more dilapidated!
And Ye Ling, forced by the numerous spikes, was pushed to the last corner of the world.
