"This power..."
Ye Ling was repelled by Huang's sudden burst of strength, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes, filled with astonishment.
At this moment, Huang's eyes were devoid of pupils, and a large amount of black energy emanated from his eye sockets, reforming a body for Huang.
The black energy swirling around Huang was something Ye Ling had seen many times before...
That was the power of extraterrestrial forces!
"Has this Huang also been eroded by extraterrestrial forces..."
Seeing Huang's current state, Ye Ling also became serious, the spiritual energy in his body circulated faster, and his focus heightened.
If the opponent were merely a Supreme realm Huang, Ye Ling might have been able to play around with him.
But as soon as extraterrestrial forces were involved, no matter how weak that power was, Ye Ling had to treat it with seriousness.
The power of extraterrestrial forces was too mysterious, and it contained powers that Ye Ling could not yet comprehend. A slight carelessness could lead to capsizing in the gutter.
Facing such power, Ye Ling dared not be negligent.
"Save, save me..." Huang uttered a pained voice with difficulty, seemingly struggling to break free from the erosion of the black energy.
However, with the remaining strength Huang possessed, his struggles were utterly meaningless.
Ye Ling could feel Huang's consciousness dissipating at a visible rate. The black energy would soon erode his brain, turning him into a complete puppet.
Ye Ling watched Huang struggle, his eyelids slightly lowered, and muttered to himself, "It seems this Huang is not in league with the extraterrestrial forces. If he's like this now, should I help him..."
Although Huang and Ye Ling were currently on opposing sides, and Huang was undoubtedly plotting something behind the scenes, if Huang were to be consumed by extraterrestrial forces now, all his plans would naturally fall apart.
In this way, Ye Ling would also lose a significant worry.
However, compared to Huang, the extraterrestrial forces were Ye Ling's primary enemy. If those black energies were truly allowed to consume Huang, it might very well attract another Dao Venerable level extraterrestrial expert!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. After a moment of consideration, Ye Ling no longer hesitated. He reached out to grab Huang's head, preparing to pull Huang out of the black energy!
As the black energies sensed Ye Ling's power, they immediately became extremely agitated. A large amount of black energy surged out from his body, attacking Ye Ling!
The moment Ye Ling grabbed Huang's head, a large amount of black energy also coiled around Ye Ling's arm, rapidly invading Ye Ling's skin and continuously devouring the spiritual energy within Ye Ling!
"Tsk! Truly troublesome!"
Seeing the black energy invading his body, a shadow flashed in Ye Ling's eyes. He immediately exerted force, tearing Huang's head from the body condensed by the black energy, and simultaneously severed his own arm!
After the black energies invaded his body, Ye Ling attempted to resist them with his spiritual energy. However, those black energies crushed his spiritual energy like a rampaging army, occupying his meridians.
After merely a moment of contact with the black energy, Ye Ling clearly understood that if he had not severed his arm in time, the black energy would likely have parasitized him, just as it had parasitized Huang.
Dispelling all the residual black energy around Huang's head, Ye Ling grasped Huang's head with his left hand, creating distance between himself, the headless corpse, and his own arm that had been invaded by the black energy.
The body condensed by black energy did not lose its mobility after losing Huang's head. Instead, a large amount of black energy emanated from its body, coiling around Ye Ling's arm and swallowing Ye Ling's arm into the body.
Soon, a hand grew on the neck of that body.
That mass of black energy transformed into a monster with a hand for a head.
Even more troublesome, the black energy within the black energy monster was constantly increasing, and its body was growing larger!
"Truly disgusting..."
Ye Ling looked at the black energy monster whose head had become his own hand, his expression somewhat grim. He immediately activated his divine abilities to regrow his severed arm, then looked at Huang, whose eyes were both vacant, and shook him hard, saying, "Hey! Are you still conscious? Wake up for me!"
Facing the bizarre black energy monster, Ye Ling now knew not to come into contact with it. But how to deal with that black energy monster, Ye Ling had no clue yet.
Although the black energy monster could not harm Ye Ling at present, there was more than just Ye Ling in this space.
If the black energy were to target Li Xiaomei in the light sphere, it would be a troublesome matter for Ye Ling.
"This damn Huang, his own strength is insufficient, and he carries such a troublesome thing. Now that the Soul Suppressor is also in slumber, where can I find a way to destroy this monster?"
Ye Ling looked at the continuously growing black energy monster in the void, sighed heavily, and finally could only tuck Huang's head to his waist. At the same time, he condensed a set of armor with demonic energy, enveloping his entire body.
Although this demonic armor could not completely block the black energy, it could at least buy Ye Ling some time.
With this demonic armor, when the black energy invaded Ye Ling's body, Ye Ling could immediately discard the part of the demonic armor that had been invaded by the black energy and re-condense new armor.
Although this would consume a great deal, it was better than being devoured by the black energy.
After completing his full body defense, Ye Ling glanced at Huang at his waist again. After a moment of hesitation, he ultimately used demonic energy to create a helmet for him, protecting his head as well.
After all, he had just sacrificed an arm to save Huang. If Huang were to be devoured by the black energy again in the ensuing battle, all his efforts would be in vain.
The monster condensed by black energy, after losing Huang's head, seemed to be unable to see its surroundings. It proliferated and grew larger in the void, moving aimlessly, searching for targets to attack.
The erratic movement trajectory of the black energy monster provided Ye Ling with considerable reaction time.
Ye Ling was not in a hurry to engage in battle. He began to set up formations in this space.
However, before Ye Ling had prepared for long, the situation he feared most occurred.
The black energy monster seemed to have locked onto the light sphere in the center of this space by some means and began to slowly drift towards the light sphere.
"Damn it... can't this thing just stay still for a moment?"
Ye Ling, who was setting up formations, saw the black energy monster suddenly fly towards the light sphere. He could no longer continue setting up formations and could only throw a demonic blade at the black energy monster to attract its attention.
The black energy monster, which could easily devour Ye Ling's arm, would undoubtedly kill Li Xiaomei inside the light sphere if it truly touched it!
The black energy monster seemed to use energy as a sensory target. When Ye Ling threw a demonic blade at it, it was like a shark smelling blood. It immediately abandoned the light sphere in the space and turned to attack Ye Ling!
The demonic blade Ye Ling threw struck the black energy monster, but it was absorbed by the monster's body, turning into its own power!
"I can only take it one step at a time..."
Seeing the black energy monster charging at him, Ye Ling directly tore open the space in front of him, attempting to suck the black energy monster into the shattered space and fight elsewhere.
However, the black energy emanating from the black monster could even devour shattered void. A large amount of spatial turbulence was completely absorbed by the black energy!
The black energy monster also ignored the shattered void and charged directly at Ye Ling!
"Space is also useless?"
Seeing that the black energy could ignore the power of space, Ye Ling's expression slightly changed. He then released the law of time, freezing the surrounding time.
The black energy monster suddenly stopped midway.
Seeing that the black energy monster was affected by the time stop, Ye Ling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But before he could catch his breath, the black energy surging around the black energy monster began to move again!
The surrounding time was also devoured by the black energy monster!
