Ye Ling saw "Body" approaching and no longer considered the matter of karma erosion on his wounds. He did his best to conceal his aura with runes.
Merely dealing with one "Foot" had forced Ye Ling to use the power of Primordial Chaos. In his current state, facing a peak "Body," he had no chance of winning!
Not to mention that "Body" was accompanied by three members of "Them" whom Ye Ling had never seen before. Facing such a formidable lineup, if Ye Ling were exposed, it would mean certain death.
"Body" stood at the large hole torn open by Primordial Chaos, his icy eyes scanning the surroundings. He then ordered the supervisors and members of "Them" to "Seal the perimeter and conduct a thorough search. Ensure Ye Ling is dead."
"Yes!"
The supervisors responded in unison. A large number of supervisors then constructed a massive barrier at the edge of the Primordial Chaos hole, constantly scanning the vicinity.
Concurrently, the three "Them" members beside "Body" each took up a corner of the outer perimeter of the large hole, conducting a systematic search from outside inward.
Ye Ling hid not far from "Body," feeling wave after wave of soul force sweep over him. He couldn't help but hold his breath, enduring the pain of karma's erosion.
This was now a battle of wills between Ye Ling and the patience of the supervisors. Whoever broke first would be the loser.
"I hope these guys leave soon, otherwise I'll have to abandon all my power and use the Source Text to reincarnate with Tian Xing and the others..."
Ye Ling held his breath, silently observing the supervisors' actions. Suddenly, he felt his wound begin to itch. He froze and immediately looked at his wound, discovering that the light cluster from before had somehow attached itself to him and was now continuously absorbing the karma power attached to him.
"What is this situation?"
Seeing the light cluster attached to his wound, Ye Ling was completely bewildered.
However, the light cluster seemed to have no intention of harming Ye Ling. Instead, it was continuously licking away the karma power on Ye Ling's wound, allowing Ye Ling to use his power of creation to heal his injuries. Therefore, Ye Ling let the light cluster stay attached to him.
"It seems fate is on my side." Ye Ling looked at the light cluster attached to him, a smile appearing in his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, that karma power would continuously shift away from Ye Ling's vital energy. While Ye Ling maintained the runes to conceal his aura, he could only watch as that karma power devoured him, leading him to death.
But now, with the help of the light cluster, Ye Ling no longer needed to expend energy to erase the karma power or worry about his life. He could conceal himself with runes for as long as he wished.
With no further worries, Ye Ling, under the powerful concealment of the runes, remained hidden. The supervisors searched for a long time in the shattered great hole, passing by him countless times without detecting his presence.
"Sir, we have been searching here for over three months. If Ye Ling survived that explosion, he should have been devoured by karma by now."
After a prolonged search yielding no results, a member of "Them" approached "Body" and said respectfully.
"Body" nodded slightly and said, "Hmm... After taking the full impact of the karma skill explosion, even if Ye Ling didn't die, he wouldn't have been able to conceal his aura while simultaneously erasing karma. Report the result as Ye Ling's death, everyone retreat!"
"Yes!"
As "Body" gave the order, the supervisors withdrew their barrier and disappeared from the scene.
The three members of "Them" also followed "Body" and left.
For a time, the torn great hole in Primordial Chaos became silent again. Due to the absence of the supervisors' suppressing power, Primordial Chaos began to autonomously repair its barrier.
Ye Ling stood in the center of the shattered great hole, looking at the pitch-black surroundings, still not revealing himself.
If Ye Ling hadn't secretly placed a rune on "Them" while they were searching, confirming that "They" were still hiding outside Primordial Chaos, Ye Ling might have truly believed that "Body" had run out of patience.
Ye Ling looked at the light cluster still diligently absorbing the karma power at his wound and chuckled, "Little fellow, although I don't know what you are, if it weren't for you, I would have truly been doomed this time."
At this moment, the karma power in his wound and within his body had largely disappeared, and his strength had recovered considerably. Everything was moving in a positive direction.
Thus, Ye Ling hid in the center of the great hole for another two months. The shattered barrier of Primordial Chaos finally repaired itself. "Body," who had been hiding outside Primordial Chaos, seemed to have finally confirmed Ye Ling's death and, along with a large number of supervisors, re-entered Primordial Chaos and returned to the supervisor headquarters.
A month after "Body" and the supervisors left, Primordial Chaos repaired the river of time, and all timelines returned to normal. Primordial Chaos resumed its usual course.
The supervisors, having confirmed Ye Ling's death, re-established their presence in the various universes of Primordial Chaos, firmly controlling it within their grasp.
On this day, in Primordial Chaos, the Land of Time's Beginning.
With the help of the mysterious light cluster, Ye Ling, having finally cleared the karma power within his body, removed his runes and stood at the source of time.
"Hoo... I've finally survived."
Ye Ling looked at the ceaselessly flowing river of time before him and let out a long sigh, feeling quite pleased.
Although he didn't obtain the karma skill Absolute Divine Movement this time, he had managed to kill "Foot" and inflicted heavy losses on the supervisors. Moreover...
During this period, he had also contacted Tian Xing and the others through the Source Text. Although the three thousand universes were currently in the void, they were safe and sound.
Ye Ling had suffered no losses, while the supervisors had suffered greatly. This battle was a great victory for Ye Ling.
"'Brain' has not returned to Primordial Chaos for so long; he must be entangled by the Skywalkers. Currently, only 'Body' is guarding Primordial Chaos. Should I take the opportunity of their weakened defenses to kill 'Body'?"
A glint flashed in Ye Ling's eyes. Just as he began planning a surprise attack on the supervisor headquarters, the light cluster that had helped Ye Ling absorb the karma power flew out from Ye Ling's heel and quietly flew towards the outside of Primordial Chaos.
"Right, and you, little fellow!"
Ye Ling noticed the light cluster about to leave Primordial Chaos and immediately reached out to grab it!
Suddenly grabbed by Ye Ling, the light cluster shivered and began to tremble constantly in Ye Ling's palm, appearing to beg for mercy.
Seeing the light cluster's fear, Ye Ling chuckled, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you, I'm just a bit curious about you."
"You like karma power very much, don't you? If you tell me your origin, I'll get you another portion of karma power, how about it?"
As soon as Ye Ling said this, the light cluster suddenly stopped trembling. Then, a childish boy's voice emerged from the light cluster: "Really?"
Hearing the light cluster's reply, Ye Ling's smile widened, and he said, "Absolutely true."
