The others in the Chaos Sea actually saw only a phantom.
Although they were affected as well, as long as their cultivation was strong enough—or they simply avoided looking at the pupil in the sky—they would be fine.
But Shen Lin was in a different situation.
At that moment, the system's notification had just ended. Shen Lin had only just come to his senses, yet his entire body had gone rigid.
He stared at the teleportation portal before him, cold sweat pouring down his body.
Behind the teleportation portal was the real Collector!
He had been so engrossed in his battle with Wugui that he had failed to notice something.
The measures set up by the Collector in the surrounding area were still in effect.
The black roots spreading out from the teleportation portal had now extended across an area nearly ten thousand li wide.
When they had covered only a hundred li, the teleportation portal had already been able to support an expert like Wugui walking through.
What kind of effect would it have now, with an area spanning ten thousand li?
Could it be that part of this huge fellow's body could enter the Chaos Sea?
Sweat trickled down his temples, but Shen Lin did not even dare wipe it away.
His attention was more focused than ever as he stared fixedly at the teleportation portal before him.
The moment the Collector made the slightest move, he would activate the system's deduction.
With his current strength, Shen Lin had no ability to resist the Collector head-on.
Fortunately...
The system's attribute panel slowly flickered before Shen Lin.
