Ye Ling watched the chaotic Qi source swirling around him. He immediately activated his Devouring Domain, absorbing all the energy produced by the explosion of the Chaos Heart before it could harm the cultivators of Tianren City.
Tianren City soon returned to peace.
However, the powerhouses from various states in the sky were all stunned, staring intently at Ye Ling, still unable to believe that he had destroyed the Chaos Heart so casually.
That was the Chaos Heart!
"Ahhh! Ye Ling! Look at what you've done! The Chaos Heart is destroyed!"
The Heavenly Void Emperor from Dragon State, unable to accept the fact that the Chaos Heart was destroyed, roared out, unleashing his world-shattering power!
"Ye Ling, I was just one step away from becoming a Chaos Master. You owe me the Chaos Heart!"
The Heavenly Void Emperor roared, hurtling towards Ye Ling like a cannonball. His ferocious pressure crushed down upon Tianren City, causing the small city to collapse!
The cultivators in the auction hall, seeing the Heavenly Void Emperor from Dragon State go berserk, all showed expressions of fear and wanted to flee, but their bodies were pinned down by the Heavenly Void Emperor's aura, rendering them immobile.
The Heavenly Void Emperor was a powerhouse at the peak of the First Heaven, equivalent to a god in the First Heaven. The cultivators were like mortals, how could they resist the might of a god?
Soon, the Heavenly Void Emperor from Dragon State reached Ye Ling and attacked him with all his might!
The powerhouses from the other states in the sky merely watched coldly, showing no intention of intervening.
Ye Ling's previous move was equivalent to playing all of them for fools, and more than half of the powerhouses present wanted Ye Ling dead!
Ye Ling watched as the Heavenly Void Emperor from Dragon State attacked him, his expression unchanged, his body not moving, as if he had completely given up resisting.
However, just as the Heavenly Void Emperor from Dragon State was about to touch Ye Ling, Bai Ling instantly appeared before Ye Ling, grabbed the Heavenly Void Emperor's head with one hand, and pressed it down fiercely!
*Bang!*
The auction stage directly shattered, and the entire Tianren City shook violently.
The Yan Ling Emperor and the Tang Family Ancestor, seeing Bai Ling make a move, stood up in shock: "Is that Bai Ling?"
In their eyes, Bai Ling was supreme like them, and in the current situation, he could only play a supporting role and watch from the sidelines.
But now, Bai Ling had effortlessly crushed the Heavenly Void Emperor, displaying a strength that greatly shocked both of them.
Was this Bai Ling?
Not only the Yan Ling Emperor and the Tang Family Ancestor, but the powerhouses from the other states in the sky were also dumbfounded, looking at Bai Ling in front of Ye Ling with disbelief. They never expected a mere auctioneer to be so deeply hidden!
Bai Ling released the head of the unconscious Heavenly Void Emperor and looked at the powerhouses in the sky, coldly stating, "If anyone dares to harm my master, do not blame me for being ruthless!"
As soon as Bai Ling said this, the powerhouses in the sky looked at each other, and for a moment, not a single one dared to step forward, all of them intimidated by Bai Ling.
With Bai Ling alone deterring the powerhouses from all states, Ye Ling did not stand idle. In front of everyone, he used his spiritual power to wrap around the sacred artifacts of all states, gathering them together.
"Ye Ling, what are you doing?"
A powerhouse, seeing Ye Ling gathering all the sacred artifacts, his pupils contracted sharply, and he asked in shock.
Ye Ling smiled and said, "With so many sacred artifacts, it's inconvenient for me to hold them all alone. Naturally, I will reforge them all."
As his voice fell, the sacred artifacts of all states began to melt and fuse together!
"Ye Ling, you're crazy!"
A powerhouse, seeing Ye Ling melting their sacred artifacts, could no longer hold back and charged at Ye Ling without regard for anything.
However, before the powerhouse could even touch Ye Ling, he was kicked flying by Bai Ling and disappeared into the horizon.
With Bai Ling displaying his almost crushing strength, the other powerhouses who wanted to make a move also did not dare to advance, only watching helplessly as Ye Ling melted their sacred artifacts.
In an instant, despair spread among the powerhouses.
The cultivators from Tianren City who had come to attend the auction were also sitting stunned in their seats, at a loss for what to do.
No one could have predicted that this auction, which started so well, would turn out like this.
No one had expected that the purpose of Ye Ling holding this auction was to seize the sacred artifacts of all states... and he had succeeded!
Ye Ling did not care about the opinions of those around him. After melting the sacred artifacts of all states, he felt a powerful consciousness, similar to the Heavenly Dao, gestating.
As mentioned before, the First Heaven was vast, so immense that a single Heavenly Dao could not govern it all. The sacred artifacts of each state replaced the functions of the Heavenly Dao, maintaining the stability of each state.
Now that Ye Ling had melted all the sacred artifacts of the states, it was equivalent to fusing all the Heavenly Daos together.
"I didn't expect that by fusing the sacred artifacts of all states, a great Heavenly Dao consciousness would emerge..."
Ye Ling sensed the consciousness gestating within the sacred artifacts, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
However, before Ye Ling could further investigate the newly derived consciousness, he felt a stir from within his small world.
"What is this?"
Ye Ling was stunned and immediately looked inward at his small world, discovering that the long-dormant Chu had awakened and was eagerly looking outside the small world.
"Chu?"
Seeing Chu, who resembled a small fox, Ye Ling's eyes couldn't help but flash with surprise. He immediately guided Chu out of his small world and asked, "Do you want the consciousness derived from the sacred artifacts?"
Chu nodded repeatedly: "Yes."
Seeing that Chu genuinely desired the consciousness of the sacred artifacts, Ye Ling was quite astonished.
When he first met Chu at Mount Shu, the Heavenly Dao of Earth had mentioned that Chu was born before the chaos and did not belong to this era, but had somehow ended up on Earth.
At that time, the Heavenly Dao of Earth had strongly urged him to erase Chu, but his strength was insufficient then, so he could only choose to befriend Chu and keep Chu in his small world.
Later, a series of events occurred, and Ye Ling's strength rapidly increased. Chu posed no threat to Ye Ling, so Ye Ling simply let Chu stay in his small world without inquiring further.
Chu was also prone to sleeping and had been slumbering in Ye Ling's small world, rarely waking up, which caused Ye Ling to often overlook Chu's existence.
But now, Chu had suddenly awakened from his slumber and was eyeing the consciousness derived from the sacred artifacts... this was beyond Ye Ling's expectations.
"The Heavenly Dao of Earth said that Chu was born before the chaos, and the era before the chaos was the Nine Heavens Realm... If that's the case, Chu should be a creature from the Nine Heavens Realm?"
Thinking of this, Ye Ling became inexplicably excited.
After all, Chu's identity had always been a mystery, and now that there was an opportunity to uncover Chu's identity, Ye Ling naturally would not miss it.
"Since you want this consciousness, I will give it to you."
Without any hesitation, Ye Ling immediately opened a gap in the spiritual energy barrier he had constructed, allowing Chu to enter!
Upon entering the melted sacred artifacts, Chu directly transformed into a speck of light and disappeared, merging with the consciousness derived from the sacred artifacts!
