Boom!
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
The two demigods were of comparable size, both winged and extremely swift. Their clash caused the surrounding space to tremble.
"Sky Shatterer!" Qiongqi roared!
Instantly, centered on it, destructive energy raged in all directions. Countless air molecules compressed together, forming colossal fists.
"Die, King!"
There were too many fists, raining down like a deluge. The entire sky was filled with them, their number impossible to ascertain.
Rumble!
The divine bird chuckled.
It pointed to the sea below, then to the firmament.
"Wind! Sea!"
"Go!"
A massive vortex immediately formed, connecting heaven and earth, scooping up the seawater.
The seawater transformed into a whirlwind, surging towards Qiongqi like an overwhelming force.
Qiongqi, undeterred, roared and commanded the countless fists to attack.
"Alas!"
A sigh drifted from afar, laden with regret.
A being astride two fire dragons approached.
"Die!"
With a gentle flick of its fingertip, a poisonous fire, imbued with worldly desire, erupted forth.
The flame was not large, but incredibly dangerous. Once touched, one would perish as their emotions burned out.
Qiongqi sensed the power of the flame and dared not meet it head-on, retreating to dodge.
However, suddenly behind it, the figure of a divine bird materialized.
The divine bird whispered, "Die!"
A flash of light, and a wing that stretched across the sky, shimmering with resplendent radiance, sliced across its neck.
Fast, too fast!
There was no time to react. How could it be so swift?
With a hiss, blood spurted out.
A head fell, caught by Zhurong.
With a thought, a fire snake coiled around its ear rapidly enlarged, carrying Qiongqi's corpse towards Lin Yu.
Lin Yu emerged from the shadows, gazing at the colossal corpse. Without a word, he unleashed his Life Siphon talent.
Boom!
The urge of gluttony flooded his mind, causing him to become restless, yearning to devour everything.
He gritted his teeth, suppressing the unsettling thoughts, and placed his hand on Qiongqi's corpse.
Buzz!
Waves of power continuously surged into his body, eliciting a cry of exultation.
His strength was steadily increasing.
Five percent!
Ten percent!
His cultivation stopped increasing when it reached ten percent.
Glancing at the desiccated corpse of Qiongqi, Lin Yu cast a look at the blue dragon, which resembled a fawning dog.
"It's yours!"
The blue dragon's eyes lit up at the words, and it eagerly flew over, pouncing on Qiongqi's corpse and devouring it ravenously.
Lin Fan flew over and asked, "Big brother, where to next?"
"To find treasure, of course!" Lin Yu pointed to the towering mountain.
Lin Fan's eyes brightened, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Big brother, I'll lead the way!"
With that, he vanished. The next moment, he was already entering the thousand-meter-high mountain.
At this moment, his two integrated avatars were soaring in the sky, patrolling the surroundings, guarding against hidden dangers.
Only after confirming there were no threats did Lin Yu follow.
As soon as he entered, Lin Fan materialized from somewhere, chuckling, "Big brother, I've found Qiongqi's nest."
Lin Yu's eyes gleamed at the news.
"Where is it? Lead the way!"
"Heh heh, follow me!"
Lin Yu followed, with his two integrated avatars protecting him from front and rear.
They passed through a dense forest and arrived at the mountainside.
Lin Fan pointed to a giant tree halfway up the mountain and said, "Behind that tree is Qiongqi's nest!"
With that, Lin Fan flew up, and Lin Yu followed. Indeed, behind the giant tree was a massive cave several hundred meters wide.
It had gone undiscovered because the tree's dense foliage had concealed the entrance.
Entering the cave.
The temperature suddenly dropped, becoming cool.
The cave was spacious, about several thousand meters long, finally opening up into a vast cavern.
"Big brother, there's nothing else here, but there's a lot of this!" He pointed to a pile of white crystals.
Lin Yu looked and was immediately stunned.
"They're all crystals!"
He was astonished by the sheer number of crystals, at least tens of thousands.
"Heh heh, big brother, these are not just skill crystals, but also talent crystals, everything you could want."
Lin Yu laughed heartily, "Good, you are truly my lucky star!"
He walked over to the crystals, waved his hand, and collected them all into his spatial ring.
He would examine them for skills and talents later.
After another round of searching, no other valuable items were found.
Beep beep beep!
Suddenly, his wristband chimed.
Opening it, he saw a call from the Sword God.
Answering the call!
Sword God: "Lin Yu, where are you?"
Lin Yu: "I'm at sea."
Sword God: "What are you doing out at sea?"
Lin Yu: "Just exploring. I noticed most of the foreign races in the East Sea have migrated. I've reached the border of the East Sea, killed a demigod, and am preparing to return now."
After he finished speaking, there was a prolonged silence from the other end.
Lin Yu added, "Senior Sword God, have you finished your discussions?"
Sword God: "We're mostly done. The details won't require our attention. Your main body is still at ninth tier. I will take you to that mysterious land, hoping you can advance to the demigod realm."
The demigod realm!
Lin Yu had longed for it.
He wondered if his integrated avatars could withstand a god when he reached the demigod realm.
Most likely not!
However, if his base strength were to increase tenfold, perhaps his integrated avatars could indeed possess the power of a god.
He felt a surge of excitement.
Lin Yu: "Senior, I'll return immediately!"
Sword God: "Good, I'll be waiting!"
Closing the wristband, Lin Yu set off immediately, heading towards Three Immortals City.
On the way.
His two integrated avatars guarded him from front and rear.
He opened his wristband to read the news to pass the time.
[The Abyss has been defeated, and the beings on earth are safe. Let us thank the Sword God, thank Lin Yu, thank Hongling, the demigod of the Hongyu clan...]
[Demigod Lin Yu is a prodigy. We learned from his classmates that he displayed extraordinary talent in kindergarten. Indeed, great figures are different even from a young age...]
"They're really blowing smoke. Boring news, let's look at something else!"
[Today, after preliminary discussions, our human race has decided to expand! The first step is the development of subsidiary races' territories, the second is the subjugation of the East Sea tribes, the development of the ocean...]
"This must be the human race's development direction that the Sword God and the others discussed."
"However, this news is of no use to me."
"Let's look at something else."
"Hmm, this news is interesting."
[Recently, we have detected that the energy factors on Blue Star are rapidly increasing. If they continue to increase at the current rate, in three years, it will be able to accommodate the descent of gods. The more energy factors there are, the better the meditation effect. It is estimated that in the future, everyone's cultivation speed will become faster and faster...]
"Gods?"
"In three years?"
"Although I don't know if it's true, I need to accelerate my upgrade speed!"
"I'll go check out the mysterious land first!"
