"You are... Tian Yun?"
Ye Ling looked at Tian Yun, thinking for a long time before remembering that Tian Yun was one of the old Seven Pillars, like Tian Ji and Bai Yue. However, Tian Yun had far less presence than Tian Ji and Bai Yue, so Ye Ling hadn't paid much attention to him.
If Ye Ling hadn't seen Tian Yun with his own eyes, he would have thought that all the old Seven Pillars had already perished.
After all, the Seven Pillars were powerful beings matched against the Original Seven Kings by the Overseers. To Ye Ling now, they were clearly obsolete relics of a bygone era.
Tian Yun saw a flicker of confusion in Ye Ling's eyes and realized that Ye Ling had never truly regarded him.
Thinking of this, Tian Yun felt an immense bitterness, feeling that he had never accomplished anything earth-shattering in his life, which was truly tragic.
Compared to the dazzling Tian Ji and Bai Yue, Tian Yun felt utterly mediocre.
However, Tian Yun was, after all, an experienced veteran. He quickly regained his composure, straightened his emotions, and said to Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, all the Overseers still remaining in the Primordial Chaos are here, and 'Foot' is about to arrive. You have no retreat.
"If you surrender now, you can at least preserve your life. I advise you to cut your losses."
Hearing Tian Yun's words, Ye Ling smiled slightly, unleashed his Devouring Domain to cover all the Overseers present, and then chuckled at Tian Yun, "We are already mortal enemies. There's no need for such formalities. If you want to fight, let's fight.
"Today, I, Ye Ling, make this declaration... either I die, or all of you Overseers, including 'Foot,' die here!"
As soon as Ye Ling spoke, a tempestuous wave surged through the assembled Overseers. All of them glared at Ye Ling with fury, their auras becoming restless!
It was important to note that the number of Overseers present was in the hundreds of millions. Even if each Overseer spat once, they could drown Ye Ling to death!
Now, Ye Ling actually boasted of killing all the Overseers by himself, successfully igniting the rage of every single Overseer!
The new Seven Pillars beside Tian Yun, each with a look of displeasure, began to flex their muscles, preparing to gang up on Ye Ling.
In their eyes, no matter how strong Ye Ling was, with their superior numbers and 'Foot' overseeing them, Ye Ling would be unable to escape even if his strength doubled!
It was Tian Yun, however, who, after seeing Ye Ling unleash his Devouring Domain, recalled what Bai Yue had once told him...
Ye Ling possessed the Devouring Domain and was particularly skilled in group combat. The more enemies there were, the stronger Ye Ling became.
Thinking of this, Tian Yun became anxious and quickly commanded the Overseers, "All Overseers, do not be provoked by him. Retreat immediately, and distance yourselves from Ye Ling!"
"All of you, attack together!"
As soon as Tian Yun gave the order, 'Foot's' voice echoed from all around. Upon hearing 'Foot's' command, all the Overseers' eyes condensed into lasers, and they unleashed their full power, shooting towards Ye Ling!
For a time, countless lasers from all directions tore through space, carrying infinite might as they shot towards Ye Ling!
Seeing this, Tian Yun quickly transmitted a reminder to 'Foot,' "My lord! Ye Ling possesses the Devouring Domain and can absorb surrounding power for his own use. Having all the Overseers attack together might..."
"There's no need to worry!"
'Foot' interrupted Tian Yun, saying, "I have reviewed Ye Ling's file. His strength lies solely in absorbing the power of the Original Kings, possessing infinite growth potential. However, before he has completely absorbed all seven Original Kings, his own strength is not particularly formidable.
"The reason 'Hand' perished was mainly due to Bai Yue. Although Ye Ling caused a commotion at our headquarters, he merely rode the coattails of the Heavenly Walker's situation. He only killed one Tian Ji and has no outstanding achievements... His Devouring Domain likely has its limits, and he cannot possibly absorb all the Overseers."
'Foot' had been campaigning outside the Primordial Chaos before, and it was only under 'Brain's' command that he came to the Primordial Chaos temporarily.
'Foot' had not even participated in the Original Seven Kings War. His understanding of the Primordial Chaos came entirely from the shared files of the Overseers.
In 'Foot's' eyes, the Primordial Chaos had always been the peaceful rear of the Overseers, and no major changes would occur.
Therefore, 'Foot' did not truly consider Ye Ling an enemy in his heart. He was still planning to resume his campaigns outside the Primordial Chaos after dealing with Ye Ling.
For 'Foot,' the outside of the Primordial Chaos was the vast ocean, and fighting against the Heavenly Walkers was his true calling.
As for what happened within the Primordial Chaos, it was all trivial matters.
"My lord..."
Seeing that 'Foot' did not take Ye Ling seriously at all, Tian Yun's eyes could not help but reveal endless worry.
Indeed, with Tian Yun's current strength, he could not gauge how strong Ye Ling was, nor could he be certain that 'Foot' could not defeat Ye Ling. However, he had heard Bai Yue's extremely high evaluation of Ye Ling.
If Bai Yue, like him, was merely a Seven Pillar managing the internal affairs of the Overseers, he might have believed that 'Foot' could easily crush Ye Ling.
But now, Bai Yue's true identity had been revealed. He was the leader of the Heavenly Walkers, a powerful being capable of confronting 'Brain' directly!
Ye Ling's high evaluation from Bai Yue, the leader of the Heavenly Walkers, could explain many things.
However, Tian Yun also knew that he was not the overall commander of this war. Rashly offering suggestions to 'Foot' could only bring about his own demise.
With these thoughts, Tian Yun sighed softly and said no more, silently observing the unfolding situation.
The lasers fired by the Overseers soon struck Ye Ling. A large number of lasers converged, forming an extremely dazzling ball of light. The terrifying energy even shattered the barriers of the Primordial Chaos!
The space above the River of Time, centered on Ye Ling, was collapsing madly!
"Foot" looked at the collapsing space ahead and laughed, "Ye Ling is nothing more than this. A combined attack from billions of Overseers can easily blast through the Primordial Chaos. That fool actually didn't dodge..."
"It seems 'Brain' is also muddled. Is such an ignorant and reckless youth like Ye Ling worth us making such a fuss, even neglecting our work in the Primordial Chaos?"
'Foot' sneered. He looked at the ball of light surging with terrifying energy ahead, believing Ye Ling had been completely vaporized within. Just as he was about to report his success to 'Brain,' he noticed a figure emerge from within the dazzling ball of light.
"Hmm?"
Upon seeing the figure within the dazzling ball of light, 'Foot's' expression subtly changed. Before he could react, he saw the massive ball of light formed by the combined attack of the Overseers rapidly contract, finally condensing into a black singularity in Ye Ling's palm.
Ye Ling tossed the singularity, which contained infinite energy, and chuckled at 'Foot,' "It's impolite not to reciprocate. 'Foot'... I'm returning this great gift you gave me!"
As his words fell, a sharp glint flashed in Ye Ling's eyes. He forcefully hurled the singularity, containing the energy of all the Overseers' attacks, towards 'Foot'!
The singularity easily tore through space, like a black meteor, charging towards 'Foot' at extreme speed!
Seeing this, 'Foot's' expression changed slightly. He immediately condensed a barrier in front of himself to resist.
Boom!!!
The singularity collided with 'Foot's' barrier and exploded with a deafening roar. Infinite energy spread out from within. The space of the Primordial Chaos, the River of Time below, the surrounding Overseers...
At this moment, they instantly turned into nothingness!
