A golden long sword pierced through the sky, unhindered, and plunged into the brow of the Lord of Remnant Evil.
A large amount of spiritual energy surged from the sword's edge into the Lord of Remnant Evil's body, shredding his brain and soul.
"This, this is why? Why can't I move?"
The Lord of Remnant Evil couldn't comprehend why his body had stiffened for a moment, but he had no time to ponder. He immediately channeled his spiritual energy to resist Ye Ling's onslaught.
With Ye Ling's current strength, if he hesitated for even a moment, it would be certain death!
But!
The moment the Lord of Remnant Evil exerted his power, a multitude of golden runes appeared within his body, sealing all his strength!
In an instant, the Lord of Remnant Evil's meridians were sealed by the runes, his spiritual energy flow ceased, and Ye Ling's power began to tear apart his soul!
"Runes? When did he plant them inside me?"
Seeing the runes rising from within his body, the Lord of Remnant Evil's usually calm eyes finally showed fear, realizing that death was rapidly approaching him!
The Lord of Remnant Evil felt the threat of death once again!
"Damn it! You won't succeed!"
Unwilling to resign himself to fate, the Lord of Remnant Evil immediately abandoned Long Ye's body, attempting a golden cicada shedding its shell.
However, Ye Ling had anticipated the Lord of Remnant Evil's actions. The moment the Lord of Remnant Evil's soul attempted to escape, the runes within Long Ye's body swiftly transformed into chains, entangling the Lord of Remnant Evil's soul and forcibly dragging him back into the body!
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire hastily called out, "Kid, unleash me! Let me take a few bites!"
"Alright!"
Without hesitation, Ye Ling unsealed the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, allowing it to tear into the Lord of Remnant Evil's soul!
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire darted into the Lord of Remnant Evil's body and fiercely bit off a large chunk of his soul!
"Ahhhhhhh!"
The Lord of Remnant Evil cried out in agony, his aura visibly plummeting!
"Lord of Remnant Evil, your time has come!"
Ye Ling seized the opportunity, precisely striking with his sword to cleave the Lord of Remnant Evil's body and soul in two. He used his runes to erase half of the Lord of Remnant Evil's soul, while the other half was left for the World-Destroying Spirit Fire to devour.
With Ye Ling and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire working in tandem, the Lord of Remnant Evil had no chance to resist. His aura grew weaker and weaker, his complete soul torn into fragmented remnants!
The Lord of Remnant Evil finally understood that this was a trap set specifically for him!
Ye Ling had tampered with Long Ye's body and soul beforehand, intending to strike only after he reincarnated.
And he had fallen for such a simple scheme!
Thinking of this, the Lord of Remnant Evil was filled with regret, believing he shouldn't have been so arrogant.
But it was too late.
Having fallen into the trap, he had no hope of turning the tables. All he could do now was find an opportunity to escape and return another day!
The proud Lord of Remnant Evil had to accept the fact that he had been defeated by Ye Ling!
Ceasing his resistance, the Lord of Remnant Evil immediately pleaded with Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, wait! If you spare my life, I will agree to anything you ask!"
Ye Ling merely smiled faintly at the Lord of Remnant Evil's plea, then increased his efforts, unleashing the Devouring Domain in an attempt to extract the Lord of Remnant Evil's Great Dao Heart!
Seeing Ye Ling intensify his efforts, the Lord of Remnant Evil quickly said, "Ye Ling, must we truly fight to the death? I warn you, killing me will only make things worse! You have no idea what you are doing!"
Ye Ling chuckled, "I can't imagine anything bad happening if I kill you. Even if it does... I have to kill you first. We'll deal with future matters later!"
While devouring the Lord of Remnant Evil's soul, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire said to Ye Ling, "That's right! Kid, don't listen to his nonsense. We've finally got him, we must finish him off and leave him no room to escape!"
"En!"
Ye Ling quickly agreed and, using the Devouring Domain, directly extracted the Lord of Remnant Evil's Great Dao Heart, then unhesitatingly crushed it!
Although Ye Ling could have kept the Great Dao Heart and used it to impact the realm of Creation God after killing the Lord of Remnant Evil, this Great Dao Heart was the source of the Lord of Remnant Evil's power. As long as the Lord of Remnant Evil was alive, this Great Dao Heart belonged to him, and he would have a chance to make a comeback.
No one knew what unexpected events might occur, and Ye Ling dared not gamble for temporary gain.
After all, Ye Ling had only managed to trap the Lord of Remnant Evil through strategy, not because he could definitively defeat him.
Therefore, to ensure the complete annihilation of the Lord of Remnant Evil and leave him no escape route, he was willing to destroy the Great Dao Heart!
"Kid you..."
Seeing Ye Ling directly destroy the Lord of Remnant Evil's Great Dao Heart, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire felt as if it were bleeding tears. However, it had no time to scold Ye Ling for wasting resources and could only exclaim in shock.
At this moment, it was struggling just to absorb the Lord of Remnant Evil's soul!
The Lord of Remnant Evil, seeing Ye Ling destroy his Great Dao Heart, felt an even deeper despair. His eyes bloodshot, he roared at Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, you fool! If you kill me, a stronger being will descend from the darkness, bringing greater calamity to the universe! You will surely regret this!"
Ye Ling calmly looked at the Lord of Remnant Evil and said, "Whatever happens in the future, killing you will always be my most correct decision. Don't struggle anymore, I won't leave you any way out."
"You, you..."
Seeing that Ye Ling was determined to act, the Lord of Remnant Evil knew his words of persuasion were no longer effective. He began to pray in his heart for salvation from the darkness!
"My Lord! I beg you to let darkness descend again, so that your servant may feel your magnificent grace!"
"My Lord! Ye Ling is an unprecedented threat to the darkness. Your servant is incompetent and fell into his scheme. Your servant requests that My Lord intervene and nip Ye Ling in the bud!"
"My Lord! Please let your darkness engulf this land!"
The Lord of Remnant Evil fell silent, praying incessantly in his heart, attempting to summon supreme power to save himself.
Ye Ling was unaware of what the Lord of Remnant Evil was doing, but he was content that the Lord of Remnant Evil was no longer resisting and began to accelerate his demise.
Although Ye Ling and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire held the absolute advantage, the Lord of Remnant Evil was, after all, a Creation God. Even after becoming weakened through reincarnation, his soul power was incredibly resilient. It would still take some time for Ye Ling and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire to erase him.
However...
It was merely a matter of time.
Ye Ling watched the Lord of Remnant Evil, who was slowly dying, become increasingly quiet. An inexplicable sense of foreboding arose within him.
Killing the Lord of Remnant Evil would lead to a stronger being descending from the darkness.
Who was this stronger being?
Where was this darkness?
Was there an even more terrifying existence above the Lord of Remnant Evil?
Questions arose one after another in Ye Ling's mind, lingering in his thoughts.
Rumble...
Suddenly, a roaring sound came from behind Ye Ling.
"Strange, why is there a sound from the banks of the River of Time?"
This thought flashed through Ye Ling's mind. He turned to look and saw endless chaos surging up from downstream of the River of Time.
Within that darkness, a hand with sharp, pitch-black fingers extended out!
"That is!!!"
Seeing that hand, Ye Ling's heart was thrown into turmoil!
The aura surging from within that darkness was even stronger than that of the Lord of Remnant Evil!
