The night was deep.
Ye Ling and Tian Xing returned to the mansion prepared by Xuan Yu, ready to rest.
After leaving the Sutra Pavilion, Ye Ling's mind was filled with the Twelve True God Grand Array that Xuan Yu had mentioned.
An array that could be used for training, with power sufficient to kill supreme powerhouses, and now Xuan Yu wanted him to break through it, and do so unharmed. This sounded like a fantasy!
Seeing Ye Ling's worried expression, Tian Xing couldn't help but smile and ask, "Lord Ye Ling, your expression is truly rare. Are you afraid?"
Ye Ling snapped back to attention and said to Tian Xing, "It's not exactly fear, just some worry about what to do if I can't break through the array."
"If that happens, we'll likely be trapped in the Chaos Battlefield."
Tian Xing laughed, "What's the big deal? If we can't do it this time, we'll try again next time. No one is forcing us to go to the Origin Upper Realm within a month."
"The Chaos Battlefield and the main spacetime have gone through endless cycles. The years they've experienced are more than billions upon billions of years. Even if we stay in this City of Good and Evil for tens of thousands or even millions of years, it will only be a blink of an eye and have no impact on the overall situation."
"In my opinion, Lord Ye Ling, you are simply setting your standards too high. With the speed of your rise, I think even if you were placed in the Origin Upper Realm, you would be a genius among geniuses."
Hearing Tian Xing's words, Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, "I didn't expect to be comforted by you. Indeed... I might be a bit too impatient. Even if we don't break through the grand array, we won't actually lose anything. And if our hard power isn't enough, forcefully entering the Origin Upper Realm would be suicide."
Tian Xing nodded and smiled, "Yes... that's the correct way to think. Now that the Lord of the Upper Realm is being held back by good and evil, neither the Chaos Battlefield nor the Origin Lower Realm pose a threat to us... To put it mildly, even if the Lord of the Upper Realm were to appear, with my current strength, even if I couldn't defeat him, we would still be able to protect ourselves."
Ye Ling smiled at Tian Xing, "I've noticed that your perspective on things has changed after becoming a supreme powerhouse. Is this an effect of your increased power?"
Tian Xing replied, "With my talent, even if I inherited the Origin Legacy of the Shadow of the Upper Realm and became a supreme powerhouse, my path would have reached its end. Further improvement would be virtually impossible... Therefore, my only goal now is to protect you and ensure your smooth growth."
"Your future is definitely broader than mine, and I also believe in the words you said before."
Ye Ling: "Which words?"
Tian Xing: "Your future is my future."
Ye Ling's heart stirred.
Tian Xing continued to smile, "So, I have enough patience to wait for you to grow now. Whether you are in the Chaos Battlefield or the Origin Upper Realm, it doesn't matter to me."
Hearing Tian Xing's words, Ye Ling's heart inexplicably quickened.
However, Ye Ling quickly regained his composure and said to Tian Xing, "Let's stop here for today. You've just become a supreme powerhouse, and you surely have areas that need consolidation. Go back and rest well. We'll try our best to prepare during this month."
Tian Xing narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Okay, I'll go rest first."
With that, Tian Xing turned into a beam of light and flew back to his room.
Ye Ling stood in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky, took a deep breath, and murmured, "My future... what will it be like?"
At this moment, Ye Ling felt a strange sensation on his wrist. He looked down and saw the World-Ending Spirit Fire emerging from his wrist.
Seeing the World-Ending Spirit Fire wake up, a hint of surprise flashed in Ye Ling's eyes, "You're finally awake."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire stretched lazily and swept its gaze over the surroundings. It couldn't help but be stunned and asked Ye Ling, "Kid, have we left the Chaos Battlefield?"
In its memory, the Chaos Battlefield should have been dim and filled with oppression.
But this place was peaceful, with a sky full of stars in the night sky, incredibly beautiful, not at all like the scenes that could appear in the Chaos Battlefield.
Ye Ling smiled at the World-Ending Spirit Fire, "We are still in the Chaos Battlefield. This is the City of Good and Evil."
"City of Good and Evil?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire was stunned, then exclaimed in surprise, "Are you talking about the capital city of the Emperor Lord's Palace? Kid, you've reached the Emperor Lord's Palace? Then have you found a way to the Origin Upper Realm?"
After emerging from the ancient ruins, the World-Ending Spirit Fire had completely lost consciousness, and it had no memory of anything that had happened afterward.
Ye Ling smiled and said, "I found it, but there's a slight problem. We still need to break through a grand array."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire said dismissively, "What's so difficult about breaking through an array? With your current strength, what array can't you break through?"
Ye Ling replied, "The array I need to break through is an array that can be used for training, and its power can kill supreme powerhouses."
"Kill... kill supreme powerhouses?" The World-Ending Spirit Fire was dumbfounded, "What kind of ghostly array is this? Kid, can you really break through it?"
Ye Ling sighed, "I'm not sure, that's why I'm worried... We only have a month left. Where can we get stronger in this month?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire complained, "I think you should give up, kid. Although I don't know the specific situation, I can be 100% sure that with your current strength, you definitely won't be able to pass that array."
"You couldn't even withstand the Wrath of the Ruins, and you barely escaped after a near-death experience. The Wrath of the Ruins was just residual power from a battle between supreme powerhouses..."
"The array you're challenging, the array that can be used for training and can kill supreme powerhouses, its power must be stronger than the Wrath of the Ruins, right? How could you possibly pass it?"
Hearing the World-Ending Spirit Fire's words, Ye Ling suddenly had a flash of inspiration and slapped his head, "Right! How did I not think of that?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire was confused, "What did you think of?"
Ye Ling said, "The Wrath of the Ruins! I previously thought there was nothing worth exploring in the Chaos Battlefield. Isn't the Wrath of the Ruins the best training ground?"
"As long as I can emerge unharmed from the Wrath of the Ruins, our chances of passing the Twelve True God Grand Array will greatly increase!"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire's mouth twitched, and it exclaimed in shock, "We finally escaped from that hell, and you want to go back in? Are you crazy?"
"Last time, we were lucky enough to find an opening and escaped from there. Going back now is courting death!"
Ye Ling smiled at the World-Ending Spirit Fire, "World-Ending Spirit Fire, times have changed. Now, the Wrath of the Ruins... is our excellent training ground..."
"And there won't be the slightest danger!"
World-Ending Spirit Fire: "Huh?"
