Amidst the shattered earth, the Black Knight, encased in obsidian armor, was embedded halfway into the ground.
His eyes were filled with shock, seemingly still processing the transformation of the Primordial Martial King.
However, the Black Knight soon realized something, a slight smirk gracing his lips, "Interesting..."
He wiped the blood from his mouth, rose from the broken earth, and looked at the Primordial Martial King in the sky, asking with a smile, "You are Ye Ling, aren't you?"
"Oh?" Ye Ling raised an eyebrow slightly, "You recognize me?"
"Hmph! The Primordial Martial King's strength suddenly changed so drastically, just as recorded in the archives. It's clear this fellow's body has been taken over by someone..." Da Feng Xiao Shuo Wang
"Just as recorded in the archives?" Ye Ling's eyebrow twitched, "What do you mean? Has this Primordial Martial King been possessed by others before?"
"If you surrender obediently, I might tell you."
The Black Knight soared into the air, shield in his left hand, spear in his right, black energy swirling around him.
Around him, the air began to crystallize, transforming into countless tiny, obsidian-like spikes.
When viewed up close, those obsidian spikes were identical to black obelisks.
Seeing the Black Knight getting serious, Ye Ling dared not be careless. He immediately assumed a stance, ready to face the enemy.
After all, the Primordial Martial King's body he was currently using was significantly superior to his own in terms of physical strength and cultivation.
In other words, the Black Knight had countless ways to defeat the Primordial Martial King.
And Ye Ling could only defeat the Black Knight through his understanding of martial arts and his original source techniques.
Therefore, he absolutely could not be careless!
Seeing Ye Ling assume his stance, the Black Knight sneered, "Hmph! Don't show off those fancy moves of the Primordial Martial King. It's effortless for me to deal with you."
"Then come and try... I want to see what you, a turtle who only attacks from the shadows, are capable of in a head-on battle!"
As Ye Ling finished speaking, he instantly appeared above the Black Knight and stomped down!
Seeing this, the Black Knight raised his shield to block again.
*Bang!!!*
The collision of leg and shield caused the surrounding space to explode. A large hole ripped open in the sky of the Extreme Martial Domain, and endless primordial chaotic storms surged in from outside.
"Ye Ling! I was careless when you knocked me away earlier. From now on... you won't be able to shake my defenses even a little!" The Black Knight, holding his large shield, smiled at Ye Ling. Ferocious black energy transformed into ferocious dragons around him, lunging to bite at Ye Ling.
"Is that so?"
Seeing the Black Knight standing firm with his shield, Ye Ling simply grinned. His Devouring Domain suddenly unleashed!
Those ferocious dragons were instantly absorbed by Ye Ling's Devouring Domain, then transformed into original source energy and imprinted onto Ye Ling's leg!
With his strength greatly increased, Ye Ling slammed his leg onto the Black Knight's large shield again.
*Bang!!!*
The Black Knight's large shield actually caved in.
"What!"
Seeing his shield dented, the Black Knight's pupils contracted sharply. Before he could react, Ye Ling kicked the dented spot again!
*Bang!!!*
Cracks appeared on the surface of the obsidian large shield!
*Bang!!!*
With another kick, the obsidian large shield shattered directly, sending the Black Knight flying out like a cannonball.
"Black Knight... is this all you've got?"
As the Black Knight plummeted, Ye Ling instantly appeared before him and grabbed his head with a palm imprinted with countless original source energies.
A large amount of original source energy flowed along Ye Ling's palm, attaching to the Black Knight's face and spreading throughout his body!
"Damn it!!! Don't get too cocky!"
The Black Knight, unable to retaliate against Ye Ling's rapid assault, felt a great sense of crisis.
He stopped holding back, grabbing Ye Ling's wrist with one hand. The armor on his arm acted like a living creature, attaching itself to Ye Ling's wrist and then rapidly spreading, intending to form a set of obsidian armor on Ye Ling's body surface.
"This is..."
Seeing the obsidian armor spreading from his arm to his entire body, Ye Ling immediately realized it was not a good thing. He decisively used a hand chop to sever the arm that was being covered by the armor!
The moment Ye Ling cut off his arm, he saw numerous spikes grow from the inside of the obsidian armor, piercing his severed limb. Simultaneously, countless barbs on the surface of those spikes filled the flesh within the severed arm.
In less than a second, Ye Ling's severed arm became necrotic, turning into something like charcoal.
"You sure are fast at escaping!"
The Black Knight removed Ye Ling's severed arm from his head, casually tossed it away, and then his entire head was covered by the obsidian helmet.
The Black Knight was encased in the living armor, while Ye Ling's severed arm fell to the ground. The obsidian armor then attached itself to the ground, spreading outwards.
Looking down from above, it was as if the earth itself had donned a suit of obsidian armor.
"So... the armor is also a part of the body..." Ye Ling looked at the obsidian earth below, using his creation power to repair his body. His gaze towards the Black Knight became solemn.
He had initially intended to use his original source energy to directly control the Black Knight. However, the Black Knight's living armor caught him off guard, causing his original source energy to be devoured by the living armor before it could invade the Black Knight's soul.
With the Black Knight possessing the living armor, Ye Ling's hope of easily ending the battle with the Primordial Martial King's body seemed like a pipe dream.
"As expected of a member of 'them' from outside the primordial chaos, none of them can be underestimated."
After repairing the Primordial Martial King's body, Ye Ling also condensed a barrier around himself with his original source energy to prevent the Black Knight's living armor from eroding him.
The Black Knight stood on the obsidian ground, his feet directly merged with the earth, as if completely fused with the ground.
He twisted his head, looking at Ye Ling in the sky, and said, "Ye Ling... I admit, your strength is already enough to threaten our rule in the primordial chaos."
"Therefore... this time, I will take you down at all costs."
"As a native being of the primordial chaos, one who has not received the favor of higher dimensional powers, your current strength is truly astonishing."
"However... it all ends here."
*Boom!!!*
As the Black Knight finished speaking, the obsidian living armor rapidly covered the entire Extreme Martial Domain. Countless black obelisks shot out from the ground, suspended in the sky.
The Black Knight merged with the obsidian ground, his left hand directly transforming into a large obsidian shield, while his right hand's spear quickly melted, and then his entire right arm became a long blade!
The black obelisks scattered across the sky of the Extreme Martial Domain all split open from the middle.
From within each black obelisk, a Black Knight clad in obsidian armor emerged!
In an instant, Ye Ling was surrounded by a sea of people!
