The World-Ending Spirit Fire saw the entrance to the Chaos Battlefield and inexplicably grew excited. It said to Ye Ling, "Kid, are you ready? We're going to the Chaos Battlefield! Finally!"
Ye Ling chuckled, "Why do I feel like you're the nervous one?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire exclaimed, "Nonsense! I was born in the Chaos Battlefield. Back then, I escaped from under the command of the Lord of the Upper Realm, and it was a near-death experience. Now, returning to my homeland, how could I not be nervous?"
"What if I meet some old friends? I wonder if those guys are still alive? If I do, should I try to persuade them to surrender?"
Hearing the World-Ending Spirit Fire's rambling, Ye Ling couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect you to have feelings of nostalgia. How about I leave you here? You can't help much anyway?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire roared, "What do you mean I can't help? I'm incredibly useful! Kid, are you looking for a beating?"
Ye Ling teased, "Someone like you, who slacks off even when guarding me, I really can't imagine how you can help me."
"I, I was just... just..." Ye Ling's retort left the World-Ending Spirit Fire speechless, unable to find a defense.
The main reason was that Ye Ling had caught it slacking off red-handed, making it difficult to argue back.
Seeing the World-Ending Spirit Fire's crestfallen expression, Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, "Looking at your cowardly demeanor, even if you're a troublemaker, I won't abandon you."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire pouted, "Can't you say something nice? I saved your life at least."
Ye Ling laughed heartily, "Right, right! For me to be where I am today, you deserve at least half the credit!"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire instantly perked up and declared grandly, "That's more like it! We're brothers. Let's forget about the past. Our goal now is the Chaos Battlefield and the Origin Upper Realm. Let's charge!"
"Charge!"
Ye Ling laughed loudly and then unhesitatingly plunged into the entrance of the Chaos Battlefield.
The moment Ye Ling stepped into the Chaos Battlefield entrance, the World-Ending Spirit Fire suddenly remembered something and quickly warned Ye Ling, "Kid, I almost forgot! After entering the Chaos Battlefield, our appearance locations are random. You have to be prepared, be careful not to be teleported to the Lord of the Upper Realm's base camp!"
Ye Ling cursed, "I'm already in!"
As soon as he spoke, Ye Ling was sucked into the Chaos Battlefield, leaving the main timeline!
...
Chaos Battlefield, an ancient ruin.
The sky warped slightly, and Ye Ling fell out, landing in the ancient ruins.
Ye Ling swept his divine sense across the surrounding ruins and, seeing no living beings within a radius of ten thousand miles, breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, we didn't land at the Lord of the Upper Realm's base camp. Otherwise, without any preparation, it would have been difficult to handle."
"World-Ending Spirit Fire, it's not that I'm lecturing you, but can you be more mindful? Can you remind me of such things earlier in the future? Fortunately, nothing happened this time!"
Ye Ling chided the World-Ending Spirit Fire but received no response. He was startled and called out, "World-Ending Spirit Fire?"
At this moment, the World-Ending Spirit Fire trembled slightly and said to Ye Ling in a shaky voice, "K-kid, we've gotten into big trouble!"
"Big trouble?" Ye Ling's eyes flickered with confusion. "There's no one alive around, where's the big trouble?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire pursed its lips and said, "This place is a battlefield ruin where Good and Evil fought against the Lord of the Upper Realm!"
"A battlefield ruin where supreme beings clashed?" Ye Ling frowned. "Is there something special about this place?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire suddenly exclaimed, "This place is even more terrifying than the Lord of the Upper Realm's base camp! Kid, you run first, and we'll talk when we get out. Don't stay here!"
Seeing the World-Ending Spirit Fire suddenly so serious, Ye Ling dared not be careless. He immediately took to the air and fled into the distance!
Rumble!
Before Ye Ling could take two steps, the ground began to shake. The land within a ten-thousand-mile radius rapidly began to collapse, and countless crisscrossing sword energies, runes, and dark forces appeared in the space around him!
Ye Ling's eyes changed slightly as he looked at the powerful forces that suddenly emerged around him. He quickly asked the World-Ending Spirit Fire, "What's happening now?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire anxiously replied, "Disaster! This is the Wrath of the Ruins! In the Chaos Battlefield, places where supreme beings have fought leave behind the Wrath of the Ruins!"
Ye Ling asked again, "What is the Wrath of the Ruins?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire explained, "The power from the battles of supreme beings cannot dissipate in the Chaos Battlefield. Therefore, those powers remain in the battlefield and erupt periodically, recreating the scenes of past battles. When those powers erupt, it is the Wrath of the Ruins!"
Ye Ling said, "Isn't that a good thing? I was worried about not having witnessed the battles of supreme beings. Now that the Wrath of the Ruins is erupting, it's a perfect opportunity for us to observe!"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire retorted, "Good for nothing! The Wrath of the Ruins displays the original battles of supreme beings. Those powers possess the might of supreme beings. Even if you encounter them, it's equivalent to taking a direct hit from a supreme being's attack. Whether you can survive is uncertain!"
"The Dark Creatures and the cultivators of the Emperor's Hall dare not even choose battlefields near these ruins. So don't get any wild ideas. Let's get out of here quickly!"
As soon as the World-Ending Spirit Fire finished speaking, Ye Ling felt a sharp sword energy strike from behind him. His spine chilled, and he quickly dodged to the side.
The sword energy grazed past Ye Ling, tearing through his robe, which was condensed from runes, and even left a deep wound on Ye Ling's chest!
Ye Ling's immortal body, which could shatter time and space, was as fragile as paper in front of this sword energy!
"Damn... that's brutal?"
Seeing the wound on his chest, Ye Ling couldn't help but show a trace of fear in his eyes.
Not only did the sword energy break through his defenses, but it also attached itself to his wound, preventing his chest injury from healing easily!
Just as Ye Ling was shocked by the intensity of that sword energy, nearly ten thousand more sword energies attacked from behind, making his scalp tingle!
If he were to be pierced by ten thousand arrows, even a true Creation God wouldn't survive!
Daring not to stay in this cursed place, Ye Ling immediately fled into the distance, trying to escape!
However, although the area of this ruin was only ten thousand miles in radius, and Ye Ling should have been able to get out in the blink of an eye, the ruins were filled with chaotic energy. Sword energies, runes, and dark forces were everywhere, making it impossible for Ye Ling to fly out!
The World-Ending Spirit Fire anxiously said, "Kid, we're trapped in the ruins and can't get out. Find a place to hide, and we'll go out after the energy in the ruins subsides."
Ye Ling, while narrowly dodging dozens of sword energy attacks, asked the World-Ending Spirit Fire, "When will the power in these ruins subside?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire replied, "It could be less than an hour."
A hint of joy flashed in Ye Ling's eyes. "An hour should be manageable. What about the longer duration?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire said, "Hundreds of years."
Ye Ling: "..."
