Ch. 537World Secrets: A Terrifying Guess

Lin Xiao investigated the Bottomless Abyss and discovered that an ancient god had devoured the planet’s Star Soul, then transformed and vanished. The discovery left him wondering how many transformed ancient gods existed and whether the two Masters knew, while he recognized the danger of pursuing the secret and decided to contact his true body.

  • Lin Xiao took Shen Yuexin's hand and said he wanted to exchange an Innate Source for Yue Xin, leaving her father silent.

Ch. 539The Shocking Truth

Ch. 541Battle Against Yarji

Lin Xiao realized the Nightmare Main World was the Nightmare Master's birthplace and decided to enter it only after his True Body arrived. He fought Yarji with his Ethereals, and his Void Annihilation shattered Yarji's body, though Yarji remained trapped in the collapsing void.

  • Yarji revealed that the Nightmare Main World was where the Nightmare Master was born, prompting Lin Xiao to infer that both Masters' power was tied to their birth worlds.
  • Lin Xiao decided to wait for his True Body before visiting the Nightmare Main World, then used Twisted Void Spirit to destroy the regenerating Flesh Puppet and unleash eight Ethereals against Yarji.
