At this moment, the Canghuang Origin approached, moving close to Su Qingluo and asked anxiously, "Sister Qing Luo, what are you doing here?"
"Interesting, a will born from a world's fundamental essence energy. For such a low-grade world to spawn a world will is somewhat rare," Su Qingluo swept a glance at the Canghuang Origin and remarked with slight surprise.
"Sister Qing Luo, what are you saying?" The Canghuang Origin's perceptive abilities were immensely powerful because this starry sky, and even this entire world, were under her control. She immediately realized something was off about Su Qingluo's state, halting her steps as she stared at Su Qingluo and questioned her.
"A world will is condensed from a world's most fundamental energy. If I were to devour her, it would greatly benefit the recovery of my condition. But..." Su Qingluo looked at the Canghuang Origin, her beautiful face shifting between dark and bright, indecisive.
"Forget it. I had contact with her after all," Su Qingluo ultimately forcefully suppressed the thought of devouring the Canghuang Origin.
"Sister Qing Luo, you want to devour me? No, you don't seem like Sister Qing Luo. Who are you exactly? Did you seize Sister Qing Luo's body through body seizure!" The Canghuang Origin sensed a hint of danger and involuntarily took a step back, staring at Su Qingluo as she spoke vigilantly.
"You'd best stay away from me," Su Qingluo said coldly. Then, her gaze once again fell upon Ye Yunfei's clone.
"No, I cannot leave this karmic entanglement in the mundane world. I must sever it!" As soon as these words fell, Su Qingluo raised her slender hand and made a slashing motion in Ye Yunfei's direction.
*Clang! Clang!...*
Suddenly, several ethereal threads materialized between Su Qingluo and Ye Yunfei, connecting them. Su Qingluo's palm slashed onto these threads, causing them to tremble violently.
"What's happening?" At this time, Ye Yunfei's clone, who had been meditating with closed eyes in a secret room, suddenly opened his eyes.
At the same time, within Heaven Beyond Heaven, Ye Yunfei was in the midst of battling several demonic beasts when his heart stirred. He felt a terrifying force attempting to sever something from his body. Moreover, Ye Yunfei sensed that these things seemed related to Su Qingluo, as her figure appeared in his soul sea at this very moment.
"Kid, there's a mysterious force trying to sever something from you across a vast expanse of spacetime!" At this moment, Hun Lao also detected it and sent a voice transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes, it originates from at least a powerhouse at the Heavenly Emperor level, or perhaps it's the will of the Heavenly Dao operating unseen. It seems intent on severing the connection between Qing Luo and me. Strange, how could such a powerful being interfere with the relationship between Qing Luo and me?" Ye Yunfei answered.
"Trying to sever the connection between you and Qing Luo? These are the invisible threads of causality and fate. A powerhouse capable of severing such connections across such vast distances in spacetime must be utterly terrifying. Even a Heavenly Emperor might not necessarily accomplish it. Could it be the legendary Heavenly Dao's will?" Hun Lao was somewhat astonished.
"I'll help you block it!" Hun Lao thought for a moment and said.
After speaking, Hun Lao directly activated the Heavenly Dao Tower. With a *hum*, the Heavenly Dao Tower blossomed with rolling divine radiance, erupting with a terrifying energy that instantly isolated the surrounding spacetime. Simultaneously, Hun Lao unleashed the spacetime inheritance of the Chaos World Tree lineage, releasing waves of special spacetime energy and laws that covered Ye Yunfei's body.
"The Heavenly Dao Tower was forged in ancient times when I accompanied the Ancient Desolate Emperor across the Three Thousand Worlds, gathering vast amounts of top-tier artifact forging materials, and even a stone said to be from the Divine Realm. It is an imperial-grade artifact, and its protective power far exceeds your imagination. Now, even if the unseen will of the Heavenly Dao wants to sever the Causality Threads upon you, it will be difficult," Hun Lao said confidently.
In the starry sky of the Canghuang Realm...
*Clang! Clang!...*
Su Qingluo continuously swung her palm, slashing at the ethereal threads between herself and Ye Yunfei. Sparks flew, but to her surprise, she couldn't sever them.
Though the threads shook incessantly, they showed no damage whatsoever. It seemed a powerful defensive force was protecting them.
"How can this be! His realm and strength are not high, yet with my cultivation, I cannot sever the causal ties with him!" At this moment, Su Qingluo felt somewhat agitated.
"Who's there?" At the headquarters of Qingyun Palace, Ye Yunfei's clone rushed out from a secret chamber, his face full of bewilderment.
*Swoosh!*
Ye Yunfei shot up into the sky and entered the starry expanse.
*Clang! Clang!...*
Deep in the starry void, Su Qingluo was still making repeated attempts to sever those few threads, only she still failed to cut them.
"Why is this happening? How can he prevent me from severing our connection? Or is it because the causal ties between him and me are too complex to sever? Or perhaps, some unseen force is preventing it?...
Not good, why is my heart so troubled?"
At this moment, Su Qingluo's mood grew increasingly restless as various thoughts flooded in. Even deep within her, a faint force seemed to be stopping her, preventing her from exerting her full power. This made her somewhat alarmed.
Logically, given her terrifying strength, merely severing ties with a minor character shouldn't encounter such massive internal and external resistance.
"Qing Luo, what are you doing there?" Just then, a voice sounded from afar. Ye Yunfei's clone had arrived.
"Uncle! Sister Qing Luo's state isn't right. She might have been possessed," the Canghuang Origin immediately rushed to Ye Yunfei's side and said anxiously as soon as she saw him arrive.
"Possessed?" Ye Yunfei paled with shock.
"Her soul aura doesn't seem to have changed much, yet... it's as if something extra has been added on top of the original... Qing Luo, what's happened to you?" Ye Yunfei immediately sent his perception towards Su Qingluo and discovered that she indeed differed from before.
Now, Su Qingluo had become much more unfamiliar, much colder.
With a flash, Ye Yunfei moved towards Su Qingluo.
But Su Qingluo took a step back, appearing at another point in the starry sky. She looked at Ye Yunfei with a complex gaze.
"How can this be? Qing Luo possesses such speed! This is impossible!" Ye Yunfei felt utterly astounded. This speed even made him feel inferior!
"You are not like Qing Luo! Who are you? Have you seized Qing Luo's body through possession!" Feeling that Su Qingluo truly might have been possessed, Ye Yunfei was both startled and furious, shouting sternly.
"I don't care who you are, but leave Qing Luo's body immediately, or I swear, I will kill you!" Ye Yunfei said, his eyes bloodshot, enunciating each word.
Su Qingluo was far too important to Ye Yunfei. If something happened to her, Ye Yunfei couldn't bear it.
"Do you like her a lot?" Su Qingluo's indifferent eyes fixed on Ye Yunfei as she asked in an icy voice.
"She is the woman I love most. If you dare harm her, I will avenge her even if I have to chase upward to the Divine Realm or slaughter downward to the deepest pits of hell!" Ye Yunfei roared fiercely.
At this point, Ye Yunfei began to firmly believe that Su Qingluo had indeed been possessed.
"I'm leaving. You take care.
In the future, there will be no opportunity for you to meet her again." Su Qingluo's beautiful eyes rested steadily on Ye Yunfei. After several breaths, a soft sigh echoed in her heart. She turned and was about to leave.
"Halt!"
How could Ye Yunfei let her go? Grabbing the Canghuang Origin's hand, his figure flickered as he gave chase.
With the Canghuang Origin's assistance, Ye Yunfei's movement technique reached extreme speed.
But Su Qingluo was faster. She waved her hand and slashed forward, actually shattering the space ahead and creating a spatial rift. Her figure flashed, and she stepped into the spatial rift, disappearing.
By the time Ye Yunfei and the Canghuang Origin chased over, the spatial rift was already healing, returning to its original state in the blink of an eye.
"Piercing through the void, traversing worlds... how can this be?" Ye Yunfei stared, dumbfounded.
Such divine ability—piercing the void and freely traversing different worlds with a mere wave of the hand—was something he, as a Heavenly Emperor in his previous life, could also achieve!
