Ye Ling was startled and asked Tian Xing, "What are you going to the Origin Upper Realm for?"
According to Tian Xing, the Origin Upper Realm was teeming with powerful beings. Even he, a True Creation God, couldn't establish a foothold there. So, with Tian Xing's ordinary Creation God strength, wouldn't going to the Origin Upper Realm be like an ant facing a dragon?
Tian Xing hid nothing and stated directly, "Once I reveal this method, I will surely become a thorn in the side of the Upper Realm Lord. I will have no way to survive in the Chaos Battlefield or the Origin Lower Realm. I also don't believe Shan and E will intervene to protect me, so if I want to live, my only option is to try my luck in the Origin Upper Realm."
Ye Ling looked at Tian Xing deeply and asked, "Are you serious?"
Tian Xing replied, "I am serious. However, after arriving in the Origin Upper Realm, you will need to protect me for a while, at least until I get familiar with it."
Ye Ling inquired, "So, you don't know what the Origin Upper Realm is like?"
Tian Xing shook his head, "I was born in the Chaos Battlefield. My understanding of the Origin Upper Realm is limited to the partial memories shared by the Upper Realm Lord. What kind of world it is remains a mystery to me."
Ye Ling responded, "I can agree to both of your conditions. Can you tell me about the Origin Upper Realm now?"
Tian Xing shook his head again, "Not yet. You must first help me sever my soul's connection with the Upper Realm Lord. Otherwise, I will die the moment I speak."
"This is so troublesome..." Ye Ling sighed slightly. "Then please wait a moment."
With that, Ye Ling sat cross-legged in the void, his consciousness entering his mental space to activate the Soul Suppressing Ladder. Da Feng Novel Network.
After confirming that the Soul Suppressing Ladder was still usable, Ye Ling cast rune seals on Tian Xing's entire body and soul. Once he was sure Tian Xing couldn't harm him, he said, "Let your soul leave your body and enter my mental space."
Tian Xing was slightly surprised, "Enter your mental space?"
Ye Ling explained, "The Soul Suppressing Ladder exists within my mental space. If you want to break free from the Upper Realm Lord's control, you must ascend the Soul Suppressing Ladder."
"You have the Soul Suppressing Ladder?" Tian Xing's pupils constricted sharply, as if he had heard something incredibly unbelievable.
Ye Ling frowned slightly, "What's wrong with the Soul Suppressing Ladder?"
Tian Xing was momentarily dazed before coming back to his senses. He said to Ye Ling, "We'll discuss this later. Let me first get rid of the Upper Realm Lord's control. Should I enter your mental space with my soul?"
"Yes," Ye Ling nodded slightly. "I'll pull you in."
As soon as Ye Ling finished speaking, Tian Xing felt an extremely powerful force pulling at his soul.
Suddenly, she felt a sense of dizziness. When her vision stabilized, she found herself inside Ye Ling's mental space, and the magnificent golden ladder appeared before her.
"This is the Soul Suppressing Ladder... I never expected it to be in the mental space," Tian Xing murmured, gazing at the Soul Suppressing Ladder in Ye Ling's mental space. Her eyes became distant, deeply captivated by the ladder.
Ye Ling's consciousness appeared beside Tian Xing and said, "If you want to break free from the Upper Realm Lord's control, ascend this ladder. The Soul Suppressing Ladder will absorb the dark power within you. Once you climb a certain number of steps, you will lose all the Upper Realm Lord's power and be reborn."
Tian Xing asked, "Will all my power disappear?"
Ye Ling replied, "You don't need to worry about that. As you ascend the ladder, the Soul Suppressing Ladder will also temper your body and soul. This way, even if you lose the Upper Realm Lord's power, you will still gain equivalent other powers."
"I understand!" Hearing Ye Ling's explanation, Tian Xing was completely reassured and stepped onto the Soul Suppressing Ladder without hesitation.
Boom!
The moment Tian Xing stepped onto the Soul Suppressing Ladder, it began to absorb the dark power within her, and the golden ladder rapidly turned pitch black.
Seeing this, Ye Ling didn't stand idly by. He began to absorb the dark power from the Soul Suppressing Ladder to prevent it from being completely corrupted.
However, after the previous pursuit by the Upper Realm Lord, Ye Ling dared not keep any dark power within himself. He would neutralize as much as he absorbed with the soul-suppressing power, converting all the dark power into fused power for storage.
Thus, with Ye Ling's help, Tian Xing embarked on the path of ascension.
Meanwhile...
Outside the Chaos Battlefield, in the Void Abyss.
Shan and E sat in the boundless darkness, conjuring a chessboard with spiritual energy. One held black pieces, the other white, playing Gomoku.
Not far from Shan and E, a mass of black mist churned continuously, emitting a power not much weaker than theirs.
It was evident that the black mist was the Upper Realm Lord, who was imprisoned in the Void Abyss along with Shan and E.
Suddenly, the Upper Realm Lord sensed that Tian Xing was severing their connection. He could no longer remain still and unleashed a terrifying aura, shattering Shan and E's chessboard!
"Audacious Tian Xing, how dare you betray me!" the Upper Realm Lord roared, beginning to relentlessly assault the Void Abyss, attempting to escape.
Shan glanced at the Upper Realm Lord, then ignored him, saying to E, "I was about to achieve a double kill in that game. This Gomoku match is mine."
E also paid no attention to the Upper Realm Lord and replied to Shan, "The chessboard has been overturned, so nothing you say matters. In fact, I had already seen through your strategy. With my next move, I would have defended against all your killing moves. You could never have won against me."
Shan countered, "Don't delude yourself. You can never beat me at Gomoku, just as Little Ye Ling always acknowledges me as his master but gives you no face."
E scoffed, "You're outright lying. Anyone with eyes can see how frequently Ye Ling uses my runes. You're just trying to curry favor with him through your son, but what truly benefits him is my rune power."
Shan chuckled, "That's because he hasn't obtained my creation power yet. Once he learns my abilities, your runes will be obsolete."
E snorted, "Hmph... You're becoming more arrogant lately. My runes are ever-changing and infinite, how can your creation power easily replace them?"
"Heh, you just wait and see."
To E's words, Shan merely smiled slightly. Then, he glanced at the Upper Realm Lord, who was still battering the Void Abyss, and said to E, "I dealt with him last time. It's your turn this time."
E stretched lazily and said with a sigh, "This guy really can't stay quiet. What a hassle."
As he spoke, E snapped his fingers. Billions of white runes materialized in the darkness, weaving into a massive net that merged with the Void Abyss, greatly reinforcing its strength.
Seeing that E had further reinforced the Void Abyss, the Upper Realm Lord, filled with rage, turned and roared at Shan and E, "What's wrong with you two? Let me out!"
The Upper Realm Lord roared, unleashing a torrent of dark power and charging towards Shan and E.
Bang!
However, before the Upper Realm Lord could reach Shan and E, he violently collided with a rune barrier. The entire mass of black mist was scattered and merged into the darkness.
E ignored the Upper Realm Lord and smiled at Shan, "I don't feel like playing Gomoku this time."
Shan raised an eyebrow, "Then what do you want to play?"
E smiled slightly, "Chess... I'm guaranteed to win this game."
Shan's lips twitched, "The Upper Realm Lord is right, you really are something. What's so fun about chess?"
E taunted, "You're scared?"
Shan retorted, "Scared? When have I ever been afraid of you?"
As Shan spoke, he waved his hand, and a chessboard materialized in the void.
And so, Shan and E once again resolved the great crisis brought by the Upper Realm Lord, and in the Void Abyss, another bloody battle commenced...
