"So what if it is?"

Wang Ye retorted.

"A ship that allows you to evade an attack from a Heavenly King Realm, a power that can instantly kill a half-step Heavenly King Realm, although Earth Star revived its True Qi late, other powers can't be underestimated."

Zhang Yanling sighed, the flames of war in his eyes burning even stronger. He glanced mockingly at Wang Ye, then at Orochi, who was fighting Shi Heng on the other side.

At this moment, Orochi was being crushed by Shi Heng. When Shi Heng unleashed his full strength, Orochi was no match for him.

This filled Zhang Yanling's gaze towards Orochi with scorn.

"Trash!"

Zhang Yanling called out.

If nothing unexpected happened with Orochi, he might be defeated by Shi Heng in less than half a minute.

"Orochi over there will soon be dealt with by Shi Heng. At that time, when you and Shi Heng attack me, a Heavenly King Realm powerhouse, you'll surely take me down. Is that what you think?"

"Yes."

Wang Ye nodded slightly.

That's indeed what he thought.

To Wang Ye, from the moment he borrowed power from the Lord of the Universe, the difficulties here were no longer significant, and he could easily solve the problems in front of him.

Zhang Yanling sneered, staring at Wang Ye with utter contempt, as if he had calculated everything for so long, but the person in front of him never understood his intentions.

"Did you really think that after all my painstaking planning, all those machinations across half of Spirit Star, this plan could be so easily thwarted by you?"

"Wang Ye."

Zhang Yanling softly called out to Wang Ye: "Can't you stop being so naive?"

Wang Ye instantly felt a bad premonition.

"Spirit Demon Alliance? Tsk, nowadays, the Demon Race is nothing more than a bunch of trash. I need them when cooperating, but do they really believe that during the actual cooperation, they can truly play a vital role? Do they really think cooperation is fair?"

When Zhang Yanling said this, he did so without restraint and not through telepathy, causing Orochi to clearly hear Zhang Yanling's words.

Orochi, about to be killed by Shi Heng, heard Zhang Yanling's remarks and glanced his way, adding a few more shades of despair to his fear-filled eyes in the face of Shi Heng.

Facing Zhang Yanling, Orochi always had a bad feeling, but convinced himself it was an illusion.

But when Zhang Yanling said it himself,

Only then did the feeling of despair truly surge in Orochi's heart.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Yanling glanced at Orochi. Sensing something was off, Wang Ye decided not to give Zhang Yanling any more chances to prepare and directly attacked.

The power of the Peak Heavenly King Realm emerged, amplifying the power from the Great Dao of Time to the extreme.

Wang Ye's speed instantly increased, and within a moment, he arrived beside Zhang Yanling, delivering a punch fiercely toward him.

Bam.

A silhouette of the Lord of the Universe appeared on Zhang Yanling's body, and it too threw a punch at Wang Ye.

Wang Ye, mixed with the power of the Lord of the Universe, collided with the projection of the Lord of the Universe on Zhang Yanling. To his shock, Wang Ye only managed to end in a draw with the Lord of the Universe's projection on Zhang Yanling's body.

"How can this be!"

Wang Ye was shocked as he looked at the projection emerging on Zhang Yanling.

He had borrowed the power of the Lord of the Universe, which could be understood.

When he was on Earth Star, he found the Lord of the Universe's weapon, the Ink Qilin Knife, and using the power of time travel, brought Guo Yi, the Lord of the Universe, from that timeline, borrowing his power.

But what about Zhang Yanling?

Why could he use the power of the Lord of the Universe?

"Surprised?"

Zhang Yanling seemed completely unhurried as he explained to Wang Ye: "When I advanced to the Heavenly King Realm, I replicated the scene of Wang Ye fighting on Yao Demon Mountain, and through a special method, took some of the Lord of the Universe's power from that time."

"Of course, the power I borrowed is definitely not as concentrated as yours, but it can still last for some time."

After speaking,

Zhang Yanling produced something like a contract in his hand.

As the contract emerged, blood-red energy surged all around, absorbing the surrounding power like a giant spring.

Orochi, fighting against Shi Heng, just felt the power within rapidly depleting. Coupled with Zhang Yanling's recent words, Orochi quickly realized that the loss of his power was due to Zhang Yanling.

"Zhang Yanling, what are you trying to do? You must know that after you've absorbed all the power from my body, no one will be able to help you fend off Shi Heng!"

"By then, facing the attack of two Heavenly King Realm entities alone, you will die!"

Orochi felt that Zhang Yanling was truly insane.

Although he didn't know what method Zhang Yanling used to absorb his power, in such a situation, what was Zhang Yanling aiming for by absorbing his power?

Even if he was destined to lose to Shi Heng, he could at least buy Zhang Yanling some time.

Did Zhang Yanling not even need that little time?

"Heh."

Hearing Orochi's words, Zhang Yanling sneered: "You're just a waste with mere Heavenly King Realm strength. Even if you were to truly block Shi Heng, how long could you hold him off?"

"Rather than that, why not merge you... no, all of you from the Demon Race, into my power to strengthen myself so I can take them down."

"Merge..."

Zhang Yanling's words stirred something in Orochi's heart.

He only now realized that from the beginning, Zhang Yanling never intended to genuinely cooperate with the Demon Race.

What Zhang Yanling wanted was all the power of the Demon Race.

And cooperation had merely been the excuse Zhang Yanling used.

As Zhang Yanling absorbed the surrounding energy from the demons and the controlled members of major sects, his power continued to grow. Despite Wang Ye's relentless attacks, the projection from Zhang Yanling's use of the Lord of the Universe's power continued to battle Wang Ye.

Wang Ye had no way to break through the attack.
