Ling Xiao was speechless; it was a shame he had worked so hard at killing.
"These beasts really know how to play!"
He said bitterly, and Ling Xiao, who already had no good feelings towards the Origin True Realm, felt even more disgusted now.
This is not the end of the heavens, a beautiful holy land, but a place where unknown darkness and filth are hidden.
Using the spirits of fallen opponents as a hunting ground is disgusting and despicable.
"Very well, I see hatred in your eyes. You truly are the one I have chosen."
The Yellow Springs Evil Emperor laughed heartily, looking at Ling Xiao with satisfaction.
"Senior, what happened to you? Why were you banished here? Could it be that you are also...?"
Ling Xiao looked at the old man strangely, seeking an answer. He already had a guess in his mind, but he still wanted to hear what the person involved had to say.
"Hehe..." The Yellow Springs Evil Emperor chuckled coldly and said:
"That's because I was also on the losing side. I was young at the time and by chance survived that great battle."
Later, I lay dormant in the Origin True Realm, waiting for an opportunity to overthrow it. Countless years have passed, and I have grown stronger, but unfortunately, I am still one step short.
But the hatred in my heart had made me lose my mind, and I couldn't even endure it for a moment. So, I exploded.
That battle was earth-shattering. I slew countless opponents and experienced great joy. However, in the end, I still failed to enter that realm and was defeated by the Lord of the Law Realm.
After his death, he banished everything about me to the Mythic Battlefield, so I became the evil spirit they spoke of, and the strongest of them all."
The Yellow Springs Evil Emperor laughed self-deprecatingly, no longer insane, but rather with a touch of desolation, a sense of helplessness and sorrow at the end of a hero's road, with nowhere to turn.
"Senior, what realm are you in now? How are you able to challenge the Realm Lord?"
Ling Xiao inquired, because in his view, the realm of a Realm Lord was a groundbreaking leap, and not so easy to challenge.
Moreover, based on Ling Xiao's senses, he is currently at the fifth level of the half-step Great Dao, and his full power is roughly equivalent to the eighth level.
However, even with his eighth-level combat power, he had a deep feeling that he was still a very long way from the Great Dao Realm, a huge chasm.
This was a qualitative change, but he never realized that "change".
Therefore, he really wanted to know what realm the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor was, that he could challenge the Realm Lord.
Upon hearing this, the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor smiled, then spread his hands, and a strange power emanated from them.
Immediately afterwards, streams of transcendent power, like the long river of time, surged behind him without end.
Ling Xiao's pupils contracted, and he pointed behind him and began to count.
"1, 2, 3..."
"Eighteen transcendent powers! You actually possess eighteen transcendent powers!"
He was utterly shocked; the transcendent power behind the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor numbered as many as eighteen.
Could this be the ultimate realm beneath the Great Dao of Infinity?
"Do you think that the limit of the half-step Great Dao is only nine strands of transcendent power? You are sorely mistaken!"
Strictly speaking, the Half-Step Great Dao is not a true realm, but rather a bridge between Primordial Taiji and Wuji.
Normally, possessing nine transcendent powers would qualify one to break through the threshold of the Great Dao of Infinity, but even if you condense nine transcendent powers, you still cannot break through the shackles.
At this point, one can only continue to refine the power of transcendence and strengthen one's own power until the shackles are broken!
But in my view, the limit of transcendence is only eighteen, which is why I can challenge the Lord of the Law Realm!
The Yellow Springs Evil Emperor laughed, his words filled with arrogance.
Ling Xiao was shocked, then nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Then why didn't you step into the Great Dao of Infinity Domain, Senior?"
"Cough... In the end, it was still a little short. I was too hasty!"
The old man looked regretful, his eyes filled with resentment.
"If I could remain dormant for another million years, I would surely break through to that realm!"
Ling Xiao remained silent, but after listening to the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor's words, he suddenly understood and felt enlightened.
No wonder he couldn't grasp that change; it turns out that the nine strands of transcendent power were not the end. If he couldn't break the shackles, he would need to continue refining the transcendent power.
The Half-Step Great Dao is a bridge to the Great Dao of Infinity. If you can't see the Great Dao, you need to keep building bridges until you reach your destination.
Because everyone's physical condition is different, the amount of transcendence power needed is also different.
It depends on one's own understanding and mastery of the Great Dao.
"Junior, your name is Ling Xiao, right?"
At this moment, the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor turned his gaze to Ling Xiao and asked with a smile.
"That's right, what are your instructions, senior?" Ling Xiao asked seriously.
"I have no further instructions. Now that you have obtained my cultivation technique, you are my successor."
My only hope is that one day you will grow strong enough to help me kill the Lord of the Law Realm and avenge me!
"Of course, I know this is a bit demanding, but just do your best!"
The Yellow Springs Evil Emperor said bitterly, his hatred not diminishing with time, but growing stronger.
"He slaughtered the Lord of the Law Realm..."
Ling Xiao fell silent; this request was exceptionally demanding.
However, he made up his mind and quickly became resolute.
If one day I can achieve the Great Dao of Infinity, killing a Lord of the Law Realm shouldn't be too difficult.
Not only the Lord of the Law Realm, but also the Lord of the Thousand Autumn Realm cannot escape this fate.
"No problem, senior. If I ever have this ability, I will definitely help you kill the Lord of the Law Realm and fulfill your wish."
Ling Xiao's expression was serious, and he solemnly assured him.
"Good! That's enough!"
The old man nodded with satisfaction. Whether he could actually do it or not was another matter; he was just pleased that the intention was there.
"Senior, is there anything else you wish to instruct me about? For example, is there any treasure you wish to entrust to me? If not, I shall take my leave now."
Ling Xiao being very realistic, subtly hinting that the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor should give him some benefits.
The old man chuckled and shook his head. "Unfortunately, my most precious treasure has already been shattered by the Lord of the Law Realm."
"However, my Evil Emperor True Scripture is comparable to any supreme treasure. As long as you cultivate it diligently, your potential is limitless."
"With your words of reassurance, senior, I am relieved." Ling Xiao cupped his hands in greeting. It seemed that the Evil Emperor True Scripture was even more powerful than he had imagined.
"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. I have one last thing for you to do."
The Yellow Springs Evil Emperor put away his smile and said seriously.
"What is it?" Ling Xiao asked.
Kill me!
"What did you say?" Ling Xiao was stunned, his eyes filled with confusion.
At this moment, the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor looked serious and repeated himself, showing no sign of joking.
"I am an evil spirit comparable to a realm lord. If you kill me, you will gain boundless merit, which will be of great help to you in the future."
"Don't refuse, and don't feel embarrassed. This is a relief for me."
"Let's do it!"
