In the rune world, Ye Ling's aura surged wildly, and the consciousness of his second personality had vanished.
Ye Ling stood in the void, his mind still somewhat dazed as he looked at the Orb of the Upper Realm floating before him.
"This..."
Ye Ling's original intention was to let his second personality leave. Even if they couldn't be friends in the future, he could establish an enemy for the Lord of the Upper Realm, and he wouldn't have to worry about the imbalance of dark power within him giving rise to a new second personality.
However, Ye Ling never expected that his second personality would be willing to sacrifice himself to achieve his perfect form.
When did the second personality become so self-sacrificing?
"In this way, I have become the biggest beneficiary."
Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, calmed his mood, put the Orb of the Upper Realm into his spatial ring, and withdrew the barrier.
"Kid, you're finally out! Something big has happened!" The moment Ye Ling withdrew the barrier, the anxious voice of the World-Destroying Spiritual Fire reached his ears.
"What happened?" Hearing the World-Destroying Spiritual Fire's words, Ye Ling frowned, quickly left the rune world, teleported in front of the World-Destroying Spiritual Fire, and asked.
The World-Destroying Spiritual Fire pointed into the distance and shouted, "You kid, look for yourself!"
Ye Ling looked in the direction the World-Destroying Spiritual Fire was pointing. He saw that the entrance to the Chaos Battlefield had expanded to the size of the Milky Way. Endless dark power and dark creatures were pouring out from it, eroding the entire world!
"What's going on?"
Seeing the Chaos Battlefield, Ye Ling's pupils contracted sharply. He asked the World-Destroying Spiritual Fire, "Isn't this the Inner Universe? How did this Chaos Battlefield appear here!"
The World-Destroying Spiritual Fire quickly said, "I'm afraid we didn't arrive in the main timeline through the spatial rift, but in some subsidiary timeline. That's why the Earth here is more than a thousand years earlier than our era!"
"So that's how it is..."
Ye Ling's brow furrowed tighter. He glanced at the continuously expanding Chaos Battlefield in the distance and said quickly, "Judging by the expansion trend of this Chaos Battlefield, it will probably engulf this timeline soon. We need to leave here quickly!"
"World-Destroying Spiritual Fire, is the spatial rift we came through still there?"
The World-Destroying Spiritual Fire said anxiously, "If it were still there, I wouldn't be so worried. The appearance of the Chaos Battlefield has already disrupted the river of time, and I can no longer open the spatial rift!"
"It's actually like this..." Ye Ling's expression sank. He quickly glanced around and then put the World-Destroying Spiritual Fire into his wrist. "Calm down first, let's go back to Earth and find A Yu and the others!"
With that, Ye Ling erased his rune world, tore open space, and teleported back to Earth.
At this time, above the capital city of Chang'an, a giant black sphere could be seen in broad daylight. Countless citizens in Chang'an were discussing the "black sun" in the sky. Some charlatans were even standing on the street, proclaiming their doomsday theories, and the street was in chaos.
With the appearance of the Chaos Battlefield, all civilizations in the sky at this moment became restless.
Ye Ling appeared above Chang'an and looked up at the "black sun" above, frowning. "The Chaos Battlefield has become so large that it can be seen even from here. It seems this timeline is about to be completely distorted."
The Earth in this timeline was tens of billions of light-years away from the center of the Chaos Battlefield. Logically, it would take tens of billions of years for Earth to see the Chaos Battlefield, but now the Chaos Battlefield appeared above Earth. This indicated that the fundamental laws of this timeline had begun to collapse, and space in this timeline was no longer continuous.
The entire timeline was heading towards its end.
The World-Destroying Spiritual Fire quickly said, "Kid, I've found A Yu. She's in the imperial palace and seems to be in some trouble!"
"How did that girl get into the imperial palace?"
Hearing the World-Destroying Spiritual Fire, Ye Ling couldn't help but look in the direction of the imperial palace. He saw A Yu and Ding Dang being surrounded by the imperial guards in front of the Xuanwu Gate of the Taiji Palace, and it seemed a conflict had erupted!
Seeing A Yu, Ye Ling immediately teleported to her side, startling the surrounding imperial guards!
When A Yu saw Ye Ling appear, joy immediately appeared in her eyes. She called out, "Master, you're finally here!"
Ye Ling glanced at the surrounding imperial guards and then asked A Yu, "Didn't I tell you to go shopping in Chang'an City and not cause trouble? Why did you end up fighting here?"
A Yu quickly explained, "Master, this really has nothing to do with me. I was shopping in the market when a guy who called himself a prince came to harass me. I didn't want to pay attention to him, but he had two guards block my way and tried to forcibly abduct me. I was so angry that I kicked that prince. Who knew that that so-called prince was too fragile. With one kick, he couldn't get up..."
"Then a lot of soldiers came to arrest me. Ding Dang turned back into a white tiger to protect me, and then those soldiers shouted 'monster, demon girl' and ran away..."
"After that, these troops came and forced me all the way here."
"Master, believe me! I really didn't provoke trouble!"
Hearing A Yu's words, Ye Ling's forehead was covered in black lines. He really didn't know how to describe this matter.
He hadn't expected that A Yu, just by going shopping, almost overturned the entire imperial palace.
However, Ye Ling didn't have time to scold A Yu at this moment. He opened his small world and said to A Yu and Ding Dang, "Leave these minor matters to me. You two go into my small world first."
Seeing Ye Ling open his small world again, A Yu glanced at the "black sun" in the sky and asked, "Are we leaving again? Is it because of that thing in the sky?"
Ye Ling nodded. "Yes... things are a bit tricky, and it's troublesome to explain. In short, you and Ding Dang go in first!"
"Okay!"
A Yu didn't ask any further questions and immediately took Ding Dang into Ye Ling's small world.
Seeing Ye Ling suddenly appear and A Yu and Ding Dang disappear into thin air, the surrounding imperial guards all thought Ye Ling was also a monster and showed expressions of fear.
"Everyone, don't panic! This national teacher is here to guard this place!"
A national teacher wearing a yellow robe shouted loudly, walked out from the imperial guards, pointed his horsetail whisk at Ye Ling, and yelled, "Halt! What kind of monster are you, daring to disturb the imperial city? Report your name quickly!"
Ye Ling looked at the rather accomplished national teacher and smiled faintly. "I'm sorry, my girl has caused you trouble. I will discipline her when we get back. I won't pursue what your prince did either. Everyone, disperse."
The national teacher angrily said, "Audacious demon! This is the imperial city, how can you come and go as you please?"
"Watch me capture you, little demon!"
With a roar, the national teacher stomped his feet, shattering the floor tiles. Under the gaze of the imperial guards, he flew towards Ye Ling, and at the same time, he took out several talismans from his pocket and threw them at Ye Ling.
"Samadhi True Flame!"
The national teacher urged his internal true qi, and the talismans instantly merged into a giant fireball, causing a stir among the surroundings!
"As expected of the National Teacher!"
"Well done, National Teacher!"
"Capture that demon!"
Seeing the giant fireball flying towards him, Ye Ling sighed slightly. "Alas... why must you court disaster?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ling blew a gentle breath at the giant fireball.
The giant fireball instantly changed direction, flew past the national teacher, and burned off all of the national teacher's clothes!
