Yue Qingning’s eyes widened with horror as she saw the ghostly face coalescing below. "What terrifying power!" she exclaimed.
"You two retreat, leave this to me!"
Upon seeing the ghost face appear, Ye Ling cast several more layers of rune barriers around Yue Qingning and Tai Yuan. He then focused all his attention on the ghostly face.
In reality, the ghost face formed from the black mist possessed an aura only at the level of a Chaos Master or Grand Dao Immortal Lord, far inferior to Ye Ling's Free and Unfettered Immortal.
However, for some unknown reason, Ye Ling felt a fatal threat emanating from the ghost face.
Staring at the ghost face, Ye Ling quickly asked the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, "World-Destroying Spirit Fire, is there anything you want to warn me about? Tell me now, or it will be too late once we start fighting!"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire replied gravely, "Kid… be careful not to touch that black mist with your body, or your flesh and soul will be devoured!"
"Also, dark power ignores differences in cultivation realms. Even if the opponent only has supreme aura, it can still harm you. Don't underestimate it!"
Ye Ling exclaimed in surprise, "This thing deals true damage? That's too broken!"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire continued to instruct, "In short, don't underestimate these beings formed from dark power. No matter who it is, you'd best finish them off in one move. The longer you drag it out, the more disadvantageous it will be for you!"
"Understood…"
Ye Ling became completely serious, condensing his aura to the extreme, his energy locked onto the ferocious ghost face below!
The ghost face smiled at Ye Ling and shrieked, "Chosen one, you don't need to struggle. You are destined to lose today!"
As the words fell, the ghost face spat out a torrent of sharp spikes, shooting towards Ye Ling!
"Tricks of a minor craftsman, you can't hurt me!"
Ye Ling conjured a rune sword with one hand and unleashed a golden sword energy, directly shattering all the spikes spat out by the ghost face.
Then, Ye Ling swiftly followed up with another sword energy, striking at the ghost face!
*Swoosh!*
In an instant, space and the pitch-black ghost face were cleaved in two by the sword energy!
"Ahhhhhh!"
The pitch-black ghost face let out a painful scream, its piercing sonic wave causing the entire Chaos God Clan continent to vibrate violently, pushing it towards collapse!
Hearing the painful scream of the pitch-black ghost face, Tai Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. "Is it dealt with?"
However, as soon as Tai Yuan spoke, the pitch-black ghost face shifted from screaming to a sinister laugh. "Chosen one, do you think this is the end of me?"
Hearing the ghost face's words, Ye Ling's expression shifted slightly. Then, he saw the part of the ghost face that had been erased by the sword energy begin to heal itself!
The aura of the pitch-black ghost face, which had been declining, quickly returned to its peak!
Seeing this, Ye Ling's pupils contracted sharply, and he asked the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, "World-Destroying Spirit Fire, what is going on? Where is it getting its power from?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire said gravely, "I didn't expect this fellow to have a backup. It seems to be drawing power from extraterrestrial beings to replenish its losses. Kid, if you want to destroy it, you'll probably have to cut off its connection to the outside first."
"Otherwise, if this continues, you'll have to drain all the extraterrestrial beings before you can deal with it!"
Hearing the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's words, Ye Ling's mood immediately turned heavy. He continued to ask, "Then how do I cut off its connection to the outside?"
This dark power was completely unfamiliar to Ye Ling. He had no understanding of his opponent, yet the opponent seemed to have analyzed him with exceptional clarity…
This situation, where Ye Ling was exposed and the enemy concealed, made him feel quite troubled.
World-Destroying Spirit Fire: "..."
"World-Destroying Spirit Fire?" Ye Ling called out again when he saw the World-Destroying Spirit Fire suddenly fall silent.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire quickly regained its senses and replied, "Dark power has completely infiltrated the extraterrestrial universe. To sever it now, only the power of a Creation God can do it."
Ye Ling frowned and asked, "Does it have to be a Creation God? Can the Free and Unfettered Immortal do it?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire shook its head. "No… Kid, although you can contend with a Creation God, there is still a gap in the quality of your spiritual energy compared to a Creation God. You can't do this. Moreover, if you were to execute this plan, your power would likely be corroded by the dark power."
"This is troublesome…" As soon as the World-Destroying Spirit Fire said this, Ye Ling felt like he had fallen into a dead end. In this situation, where would he find a Creation God?
"World-Destroying Spirit Fire, is there really no other way?"
"No… it must be a Creation God. Or, you could obliterate that ghost face along with all extraterrestrial beings. That ghost face's strength is inferior to yours and cannot withstand your attacks. If you bombard it relentlessly, you can deal with it in a little time."
"Alright… I'll think of a countermeasure myself." Ye Ling looked back at the arrogant ghost face, his mind racing.
Having the entire extraterrestrial realm and the arrogant ghost face perish together was clearly not a viable option. Therefore, to deal with this ghost face, he could only rely on the help of a Creation God.
In fact, when the World-Destroying Spirit Fire mentioned the need for a Creation God, a candidate had already appeared in Ye Ling's mind…
Don't forget, Zi You, whom he had rescued from the forbidden area of the Remnant Evil clan and who had since turned into a child, was also a Creation God!
However, Zi You had not awakened yet, and Ye Ling was unsure if she could accomplish this task!
Seeing Ye Ling suddenly fall silent, Yue Qingning asked, "Ye Ling, have you encountered any trouble?"
Ye Ling snapped back to attention and said to Yue Qingning and Tai Yuan, "It's nothing, it's just that the process of eliminating that ghost face is a bit troublesome now."
"I need you two to do me a favor. Go back to Earth immediately, find my master, Zhen Hun, and deliver a message for me."
With that, Ye Ling inscribed the message onto a jade slip and handed it to Yue Qingning.
Yue Qingning took the jade slip and asked Ye Ling, "Then what about you?"
Ye Ling quickly replied, "That ghost face can't hurt me for now. You two leave quickly and deliver my message as soon as possible, the sooner the better!"
"Okay!"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Yue Qingning immediately realized the importance of the matter and no longer hesitated. She and Tai Yuan exchanged glances, nodded, and then flew out of the Chaos God Clan continent, heading towards the inner universe!
The ghost face, seemingly only targeting Ye Ling, continued to laugh maniacally, completely disregarding the departure of Yue Qingning and Tai Yuan!
After confirming that Yue Qingning and Tai Yuan had safely retreated, Ye Ling once again looked at the ferocious ghost face and said in a deep voice, "I'd like to see if you're truly unkillable!"
The ghost face shrieked with laughter, "Hahaha! Chosen one, accept your fate! You are bound to lose!"
The ghost face laughed heartily, its entire face merging into the Chaos God Clan continent. Then, countless human faces grew from the ground!
If Tai Yuan and Yue Qingning were still here, they would surely discover… among the dense human faces on the ground, there were people from the Chaos God Clan and the Heaven Clear Dao Palace!
Ye Ling looked at the countless faces on the ground, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Monsters are always disgusting!"
"Annihilate!"
With that, Ye Ling swung his sword directly at the Chaos God Clan continent!
*Boom!!!*
The golden sword light struck the ground, and the vast Chaos God Clan continent was split in two!
Golden light illuminated the extraterrestrial realm!
"Useless Ye Ling! You cannot kill me!"
The ghost face, formed from black mist, coalesced again in space, its piercing laughter echoing throughout the extraterrestrial realm.
Countless civilizations throughout the extraterrestrial realm vanished at this moment!
