The Yellow Springs Evil Emperor calmly said, lowering his defenses to let Ling Xiao make his move.
Faced with such sincerity, Ling Xiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Not only are they giving him their martial arts techniques, but now they're even willing to give him their lives.
Even so, Ling Xiao couldn't help but silently calculate how many merits a demonic spirit possessing eighteen transcendent powers would be worth.
This is incredible, an astronomical figure.
"Alright, stop hesitating. Those who aspire to great things can even kill their own family. Even if you don't make a move, I will still die!"
Rather than that, I'd rather grant your wish!
The Yellow Springs Evil Emperor coldly shouted, unwilling to become an evil spirit and be treated as prey in this captivity.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao's gaze suddenly hardened. "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."
Immediately, he made his move, striking at the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor.
Faced with his offensive, the old man offered no resistance or struggle, willingly begging for death, fearing that Ling Xiao would not be able to kill him.
A short while later, the traces of the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor disappeared into the world, returning to nothingness completely.
Ling Xiao gazed at the sky quietly for a while before turning his gaze away, taking out the Mythic Mark, and checking his merits.
When he saw the extra number that suddenly appeared after his name, even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but gasp.
Six and a half billion!
The merits of the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor are worth more than 6.5 billion!
Compared to this enormous and outrageous number, the more than 30 million merits he had painstakingly acquired seemed insignificant and dispensable.
Even more terrifying is that with the addition of 6.5 billion merit points, his ranking is also rising wildly.
Tens of thousands... thousands... hundreds... and it doesn't stop there, all the way up to the top ten.
Finally, they surged all the way to third place before stopping.
Mythic Heavenly Stele, ranked third overall!
This ranking has already surpassed that of the Ancestor of War, even the Lord of the Thousand Autumn Realm, and countless other renowned giants.
"Holy crap!"
This terrifying growth made Ling Xiao's breathing quicken; it was simply too stimulating.
His merit points exploded from 30 million to 6.5 billion, and his ranking jumped from tens of thousands to third place.
His name, Ling Xiao, shines brightly, like the sun, ranking third on the overall list, overwhelming all the supreme giants, and even the realm lords are at his feet.
"Awesome! Absolutely awesome!"
Ling Xiao was so excited his scalp tingled. This completely and greatly exceeded his expectations. He had never done this before. Not only did he break into the top ten, but he even ranked third.
"The Yellow Springs Evil Emperor did me a huge favor..."
Ling Xiao thought to himself that with 6.5 billion merits, he was bound to make a name for himself and create waves throughout the entire Origin True Realm.
In this way, he has achieved his goal: as long as Di Jun and Tai Yi are still in the Origin True Realm, they will surely hear of his reputation.
Although this makes him less discreet and risks making him stand out from the Ling Xiao, it's no longer that important to Ling Xiao now.
He killed a divine general, the son of a realm lord, the successor of an immortal lineage, and the pride of an immortal family—any one of them would be enough to kill him a hundred times over.
"The matter of the Mythic Battlefield should come to an end; it's time to go out..."
A glint flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes. This trip had not been in vain. He had gone from the Primordial Taiji Realm to the fifth level of the Half-Step Great Dao in one fell swoop.
Its strength is now vastly different from what it used to be; it has made a qualitative leap.
Not only that, he also cultivated Immortal Soul, obtained the true teachings of the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor, the Chaos-Hole Ancestral Dragon's Nest, and billions of merits.
Each of these is a tremendous opportunity that ordinary beings could hardly attain in ten lifetimes.
"However, before I go out, I need to master the Evil Emperor True Scripture. This way, I'll have an extra trump card."
Ling Xiao's mind stirred slightly. This trip was neither a game nor a triumphant return home.
Instead, countless dangers await them, and the slightest carelessness could lead to utter ruin.
Therefore, the stronger you are, the more protection you have.
Immediately, Ling Xiao's divine sense sank into the Evil Emperor True Scripture.
This true scripture is the culmination of the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor's lifelong learning, encompassing the ancient and modern times, and containing the ultimate techniques and profound mysteries of all powerful races.
They even went so far as to steal the scriptures of other immortal traditions, combining the strengths of all schools into one, to create this heaven-defying and evil scripture.
This true scripture is all-encompassing, containing everything imaginable, including supernatural powers and magical treasures.
Ling Xiao sat quietly cross-legged in the void, exuding an unfathomable aura.
Suddenly, he spread his hands out, and evil energy gathered, forming a spear wreathed in black flames in his hands.
This spear is called the Spear of Hell. It is the function of the first level of the Evil Emperor True Scripture. It gathers evil energy and transforms it into the Spear of Hell, which can kill anything.
In addition, there is the Yellow Springs Road, the Evil Emperor Domain, the Myriad Evil Dharma Body, and the ultimate mystery: sitting in the void, his body transforming into a black sun, releasing the Immortal Fire that Destruction all worlds.
Back then, the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor transformed into a black sun, Destruction the sun and moon of the Origin True Realm and nearly Destruction the entire realm, but was ultimately stopped by the Realm Lord.
After a long while, Ling Xiao awoke from his cultivation. By this time, he had already grasped the basics of the Evil Emperor True Scripture.
Then, he moved swiftly, leaving the vortex and arriving at the ruins.
At this moment, the place was already a void, as if everything had vanished.
"By the way, where's my horse?"
Where did Uncle Boya and the others go?
Ling Xiao spread his divine sense but found no trace of the others. He also received no response when he tried to communicate with them. At that time, he had been sucked into the vortex and was completely unaware of what was happening outside.
"Would Uncle Boya and the Netherworld Heavenly Horse take this opportunity to escape?"
He frowned, not entirely at ease with the character of these two men.
After a moment's thought, Ling Xiao flashed away and rushed outside.
With Mu Tianqing around, the safety of the Snow Heaven Clan should be guaranteed. Of course, the most dangerous person might be this witch.
There was no response from the crowd, presumably they had already left the Mythic Battlefield.
Let's go out and take a look first.
Meanwhile, those beings who were lucky enough to survive in the Evil Emperor Ruins have gradually returned to the Origin True Realm.
The news they brought back also spread quickly.
Within the ruins of the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor, Ling Xiao slaughtered his way through the surrounding area, successively killing Jun Xiaoyao, Great Thousand Dao Child, and other powerful figures, and seizing the Evil Emperor True Scripture.
The hunting party sent by the Ancestor of War was almost completely wiped out.
This news immediately caused a huge uproar.
All living beings who heard this news were immediately stunned, speechless, and their jaws nearly dropped to the ground.
Following closely behind, someone still refused to believe it, asking, "Who exactly are Great Thousand Dao Child and Jun Xiaoyao?"
The chosen one of the immortal lineages, actually died at the hands of Ling Xiao?
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"What ability did Ling Xiao have to kill them? He must have used underhanded methods—ambush, sneak attack, or even gang up on them..."
"He must have encountered evil spirits or stumbled into dangerous ruins. Otherwise, how could he possibly be a match for these people on his own?"
No one believed it; it was too far-fetched. How could the Great Thousand Dao Child, Jun Xiaoyao, and a group of powerful figures be unable to defeat one person?
