The "Brain" within Auguha Gang's body reacted immediately after Auguha Gang finished speaking, recognizing it as a karma technique Ye Ling had used against "Foot" and "Body."
Without hesitation, the "Brain" directly destroyed the life force within Auguha Gang's body.
On the other side, Auguha Gang also attempted to destroy the life force within the "Brain's" body. However, the cultivation gap between Auguha Gang and the "Brain" was too vast, preventing Auguha Gang from even accessing the spiritual energy within the "Brain's" body.
Helpless, Auguha Gang turned to probe the "Brain's" secrets.
However, the moment Auguha Gang began to read the "Brain's" memories, the Boundary Demon Heart lost its effect. Auguha Gang returned to his own body, only to discover that his body had already initiated an irreversible explosion!
"Damn it!"
Seeing the changes in his body, Auguha Gang realized he could not prevent his own death. He ceased struggling and instead transmitted a message to Ye Ling through the demon spirit contract.
Upon receiving Auguha Gang's message, Ye Ling shuddered and immediately looked in Auguha Gang's direction.
"Boss, it's up to you now!"
Auguha Gang smiled and gave Ye Ling a thumbs-up before his entire being exploded in Ye Ling's sight!
The demon spirit contract within Ye Ling, pertaining to Auguha Gang, turned to dust at that very moment!
The "Brain" returned to its own body, stretched its limbs, and said to Ye Ling, "I didn't expect you to have so many annoying little bugs around you. But from now on... all the bugs will be cleared out!"
As the "Brain" finished speaking, it struck at Ye Ling with one hand, while its other hand reached out to grab Chu Yun, who had thrown the Star Core.
Seeing the giant palm approaching, Chu Yun's expression shifted slightly, and she immediately retreated. However, the "Brain's" speed was too great. In the span of a single breath, Chu Yun was enveloped by the "Brain's" massive palm.
"Is it my turn?"
Chu Yun watched as the giant palm pressed down on her, knowing there was no escape from the "Brain's" clutches. She gave up resisting.
Although Chu Yun was not yet familiar with Vivian and Auguha Gang, the successive deaths of her companions had deeply shaken her.
Having already lost her homeland, she had little left to cling to. She was here, partly to genuinely help Ye Ling defend his homeland, and partly... she wanted to face a powerful enemy and use the opportunity to end her own life, so she could be reunited with her departed loved ones.
"I didn't expect it to come so soon... but from now on, it's a release."
Chu Yun watched the giant palm descend upon her, closed her eyes, and awaited the arrival of death.
However, after Chu Yun closed her eyes, a long time passed without the expected heavy impact.
"Hmm?"
Without suffering a heavy blow, a hint of confusion welled up in Chu Yun's heart. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was already behind Ye Ling, with both of the "Brain's" giant hands being blocked by Ye Ling's barrier.
"Why did you give up struggling so easily when you were fine?"
Ye Ling said to Chu Yun without turning his head, "I know the destruction of Star Chaos caused you great pain, but what's past is past. You need to look forward."
"Moreover, the destruction of Star Chaos was not a simple matter. You bear the burden of justice for all beings in Star Chaos. How can you give up before the very end?"
"Ye Ling..."
Chu Yun stared blankly at Ye Ling's back, then at the "Brain" being held back by Ye Ling's power outside. She pursed her lips before asking Ye Ling, "How did you do it?"
Previously, there was a significant power gap between Ye Ling and the "Brain." Now, Ye Ling could actually confront the "Brain" head-on?
Ye Ling chuckled and said, "Look behind you."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Chu Yun turned around and saw that the Source Text had already compiled the entire Great Transformation Heaven-Devouring Art. The Great Transformation Heaven-Devouring Art was now circulating frantically through the Source Text.
Every second, the Great Transformation Heaven-Devouring Art completed countless cycles, releasing power that Chu Yun could no longer comprehend.
"This, this is..."
Chu Yun watched as the aura of the Great Transformation Heaven-Devouring Art surged wildly, with an endless stream of power pouring out. She was utterly stunned.
She couldn't comprehend what was happening.
Ye Ling smiled and explained to Chu Yun, "The Great Transformation Heaven-Devouring Art is a divine karma technique. Every major cycle I complete with this technique, my strength increases accordingly, and my power grows unconditionally."
"I also possess a karma technique called Future Customization, which allows me to alter the past, present, and future at will through the power of the Source Text. However, this karma technique is not yet perfected. To alter reality using Future Customization, I need to consume an enormous amount of power, which is a significant drawback."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Chu Yun seemed to realize something and said to Ye Ling, "So, you applied Future Customization to the Great Transformation Heaven-Devouring Art?"
Ye Ling smiled and replied, "That's right... I used Future Customization to operate the Great Transformation Heaven-Devouring Art, accelerating its circulation speed. The energy generated by the Great Transformation Heaven-Devouring Art's operation completely compensates for the consumption of Future Customization, and even leaves a surplus, allowing my strength to grow."
"With the cooperation of this karma technique and divine karma technique, they have produced a marvelous chemical reaction, causing my power to grow rapidly and achieve perpetual motion."
As Ye Ling spoke, he turned to look at Chu Yun, who was listening in a daze, and transferred a large amount of creation power to her. "This area is protected by a karma mirror domain, so the 'Brain's' power cannot penetrate. You can confidently use creation power to create Star Cores... If you run out of power, take it from my Source Text."
Receiving Ye Ling's immense creation power, Chu Yun's mind went blank, and for a moment, she thought she was dreaming.
After a long pause, Chu Yun asked Ye Ling, "Was the linkage between the Great Transformation Heaven-Devouring Art and your Future Customization something you just thought of?"
Ye Ling shook his head slightly and smiled, "Not exactly. I had such a conjecture when I obtained the Great Transformation Heaven-Devouring Art, but I never had the opportunity to test it before. What I did just now was a desperate gamble."
Chu Yun: "Then, if it had failed, wouldn't you have died?"
Chu Yun could tell that operating Future Customization consumed an extraordinarily terrifying amount of power. If the energy produced by one cycle of the Great Transformation Heaven-Devouring Art was insufficient to compensate for the power needed by Future Customization to accelerate one cycle of the Great Transformation Heaven-Devouring Art, Ye Ling would have been instantly drained by Future Customization!
Ye Ling replied, "If it had failed, it would have meant I could only stop here. Of course... I did reserve a little power to teleport you and the karma away."
Chu Yun's body trembled.
Ye Ling continued to smile, "Fortunately... the experiment succeeded. We now have the capital to fight the 'Brain'!"
