"Master (Boss)!"
Within the barrier, Bailan and Vivian flew out, looking at Ye Ling with concern.
After "Xin" used the Heart of Annihilation, Bailan and Vivian were both affected to some extent. However, "Xin" primarily targeted Ye Ling, and Ye Ling bore the brunt of the karma technique's power. Bailan and Vivian merely had their connection with Ye Ling severed.
They had witnessed everything Ye Ling had gone through, but they could do nothing but worry.
If Ye Ling's inner demon hadn't appeared in time, they would have felt that everything was lost.
Seeing the two women's anxious expressions, Ye Ling's gaze softened. He smiled and replied, "I'm fine, it's all over now."
Vivian patted her chest. "It's good that you're okay, Boss. I was so scared when I saw you forgetting everything and not even wanting to live! If you died, who would pay me?"
Ye Ling shot Vivian a look, exasperated. "Are you saying your concern for me is all about your salary? Is there no affection between us at all?"
Vivian quickly said, "Boss, how can you say that? My loyalty to you, Vivian, is as clear as the heavens and earth!"
As Ye Ling and Vivian bantered, the atmosphere among them became relaxed, as if the danger had never existed.
Auguha Gang also flew out. "I don't mean to spoil the mood, but there's still danger lurking nearby. Everyone, be careful. That guy named 'Xin' might have a contingency plan."
At this moment, Karma also landed on the ground from the air and said to Ye Ling, "Master, 'Xin's' karma technique seems to be a one-time skill. I only absorbed karma power from the vicinity and did not master 'Xin's' Heart of Annihilation."
"I understand."
Ye Ling nodded slightly and then asked Karma, "Karma, how is your awakening progressing?"
Hearing Ye Ling ask about it, Karma grinned. "Master, don't worry. 'Xin's' matter didn't affect me too much. By the time I came out, I had already broken through and mastered my own karma technique, which I named—Karma Mirror Domain."
"Karma Mirror Domain?" Ye Ling raised an eyebrow slightly. "What does it do?"
Karma said, "It's hard to explain in a moment. Master, attack me as fiercely as you can!"
Ye Ling looked at Karma, who stood with his arms spread wide, completely undefended, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure?"
"Master, rest assured, I know what I'm doing!"
"Alright then, be careful."
Seeing Karma's confidence, Ye Ling didn't delay. He condensed a flying sword with runes and shot it at Karma.
A sword light flashed, and the rune flying sword shot directly at Karma's forehead!
However, the moment the rune flying sword touched Karma's forehead, it directly returned the way it came, shooting back at Ye Ling with double the speed!
Ye Ling's pupils contracted slightly. He immediately dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding his own rune flying sword.
The rune flying sword zipped past Ye Ling's back, tearing through the earth and piercing the barrier.
Vivian, standing nearby, was stunned by Karma's move. She quickly asked Karma, "Karma, is there a limit to the power of your karma technique's reflection?"
Karma smiled. "This is my karma technique. It only talks about karma, not limits. Let alone Master, I can reflect the attacks of Good and Evil as well!"
Vivian looked disbelieving. "That's too exaggerated. It's impossible!"
Karma: "Believe it or not, I am invincible now! And Master will also be invincible after obtaining my Karma Mirror Domain!"
As Karma spoke, he voluntarily shared the Karma Mirror Domain he had mastered with Ye Ling. A large amount of information about the Karma Mirror Domain instantly appeared in Ye Ling's mind.
According to the information from Karma, the Karma Mirror Domain was not a passive skill like Wuxing Demon God's Dream Weaving, but rather a domain skill like the Devouring Domain.
Activating the Karma Mirror Domain required a continuous consumption of power, but fortunately, the power consumed by the Karma Mirror Domain was not much, comparable to using the World Demon Heart and Absolute Divine Movement, and much less than Customizing the Future.
Although Ye Ling could not maintain the Karma Mirror Domain at all times, it was enough for him to keep it activated throughout a high-intensity battle.
It could be said that the skill Karma had awakened was the most powerful karma technique Ye Ling had mastered so far, its importance even surpassing Ye Ling's Customizing the Future!
After all, Ye Ling's Customizing the Future had not been fully developed yet, and its consumption was too immense. Even though Customizing the Future was powerful, Ye Ling could only use it as a trump card, like a nuclear weapon, and could not use it in ordinary battles.
After studying the usage of the Karma Mirror Domain for a while and mastering it, Ye Ling glanced around and then said to everyone, "'Xin's' strength was somewhat beyond my expectations. The next enemy we will face is 'Brain,' the leader of the Watchers and the strongest among them."
"The danger involved is self-evident..."
Bailan understood Ye Ling's meaning and quickly said, "Master, you don't need to worry about us. We also want to do our part. 'Brain' is a scourge of the Primal Chaos. As the former representative of the Primal Chaos Will, I have an obligation to contribute to its protection!"
Vivian also said, "Boss, I'm not afraid of anything. As long as you pay me enough, I can help you crush Good and Evil!"
Auguha Gang: "I have lived in the Void Dark Realm for endless years, and I am not afraid of a leader within the Void forces."
Seeing everyone's firm attitude, Ye Ling knew he couldn't persuade them to leave. He could only smile bitterly and then said, "Alright, I will make the arrangements next. Everyone follow my plan."
"No problem!"
After everyone answered in unison, Ye Ling began to set up the combat plan.
He handed over part of his life essence to Bailan, forming a group with Bailan, Vivian, and Auguha Gang, sending them to find Bai Yue first.
He, along with Karma, would remain in place to deal with the lingering祸患 left by "Xin" and search for traces of "Brain."
As Ye Ling's combat plan was issued, the three of Bailan, under the cover of Ye Ling's runes, continued to advance northward and soon disappeared from Ye Ling and Karma's sight.
Karma looked in the direction Bailan and the others had left and asked Ye Ling, "Master, 'Brain' might also be in the north. Are you really okay with letting them go like this?"
Ye Ling replied, "Don't worry. Auguha Gang and Vivian are both old hands who have lived for a long time and are strong. With them around, even if they encounter 'Brain,' they won't be in danger."
Karma: "Then Sister Bailan..."
Ye Ling: "Lan'er is Bai Yue's daughter. As long as Bai Yue is here, he won't let Lan'er get hurt... I can't see Bai Yue's stance or plans clearly at the moment. If Lan'er can draw Bai Yue out, it will greatly improve our situation."
Karma: "Master, aren't you using Sister Bailan? Then Sister Bailan, she..."
Ye Ling sighed heavily. "I don't want to, but this is what that girl asked for herself."
"Karma, don't let her outward determination fool you. She bears more pressure in her heart than any of us, and her heart is more fragile than ours."
"Lan'er wants to know her father Bai Yue's plans more than anyone."
"In this regard, I, as her master, am not qualified, but..."
Ye Ling looked in the direction Bailan had left, his eyes becoming complex. "Some things can only be resolved by Lan'er."
