"Damn it... I really overlooked too many things back in the Prison Mountain Realm."

Standing behind the [Azure Sea Sky Dome], Lin Yu couldn't help but curse inwardly.

The Demon Ancestor Gantuo, who finally escaped and attacked "Tengshe," was actually not that difficult to deal with.

Perhaps the Demon Ancestor Gantuo was terrifying enough at his peak, but now... after a long period of sealing, and even now with most of his power still sealed, this Demon Ancestor is not as difficult to deal with as the "Emperor," the God of Shadows, or even the "Diviner."

But...

The timing and place of his appearance were just perfect!

Within this chaotic energy corridor, at the height of all battles, just before the Tengshe was about to explode from the sheer energy...

The Demon Ancestor Gantuo has broken free!

It might not even need to cause much damage to the Tengshe.

After all... as it moves, the energy of the passage below has begun to vibrate and react once again due to the demonic energy and the "Evil of Heaven and Earth" which is essentially the World Will, and the remaining spatial structure has become even more precarious.

Lin Yu noticed the Demon Ancestor's escape before everyone else, which naturally gave him more time to assess the situation below.

If a master of the "General" or "Grandmaster" level were to descend, the immense destructive power of their inherent high-level energy, combined with the existing Demon Ancestor Gantuo, might actually exacerbate the energy chaos below, completely exceeding Tengshe's absorption limit and causing the spatial structure to collapse.

Even if the energy environment of the passage can withstand the attack when you enter, what about when a fight breaks out?

Those who enter the "Tier 4" within this passage cannot wield much Authority or power at the level of World Will.

This is why Lin Yu didn't enter it immediately.

Because although he might indeed possess power that, once unleashed, temporarily rivals the "Tier 4" level, he might be able to hold off the Demon Ancestor for a while.

However, his ability to be compared to the "Tier 4" relies on his Authority and the means of the World Will.

At this point, Lin Yu could no longer tell whether this was within the "Diviner's" calculations or whether the other party was once again "favored by Destiny."

But Lin Yu could only sigh... This Demon Ancestor Gantuo had indeed appeared at just the right time.

Now, attempting to save "Tengshe" will likely fail.

If we don't save them... we'll fail the moment the Demon Ancestor Gantuo makes his move.

Jian Cunyi also realized this at the same time.

"Someone has to stop the Demon Ancestor... and it has to be done without affecting the energy environment below."

Jian Cunyi looked at Lin Yu.

"Brother Lin, could the 'barrier' of this water curtain be positioned below...?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "No, this barrier itself is a kind of 'segmentation' of space... it will exacerbate the fragility of space."

"But we have to try," Jian Cunyi glanced down again. Although the chaotic energy and the seal were still in effect, preventing Demon Ancestor Gantuo from moving quickly, they had already reached Tengshe's vicinity. "If the Demon Ancestor makes a move... we'll definitely fail!"

"I know, Brother Jian, I'm thinking of a way!"

As Lin Yu spoke, he continued to confirm the location of the Demon Ancestor.

"What if I only use the [Guest Appearance Invitation] after I go down? Inviting someone across worlds is risky, but I can try... Yun Fengyang? No, he might not be able to defeat Gan Duo, and he would trigger the Heavenly Dao the Prison Mountain Realm, the effect would be the same as Jian Cunyi's..."

"Let's rule out Deity and Chosen of God for now; the power surge alone caused by crossing the Wall of Rules is troublesome enough..."

"What if it's a 'Player' from this world? The impact on the spatial structure would be smaller... Second Generation 'Freud'? Probably not... Putting aside whether she's reliable or not, she has 'soul' Authority, so that won't work either."

"Liu? Am I qualified to call her that? Let's leave that option open for now..."

"Perhaps someone can be used for 'Tier 3'... 'Dionysus' and 'Fishing Man'... those two won't work. 'Dionysus' was just seriously injured, and her ability is to create 'energy chaos.' 'Fishing Man' is also in trouble; he's not good at blocking, and his ability greatly damages spatial structures... What about from the perspective of the unpredictable ability mechanics? How about 'Pen Name'? 'Fluoxetine'? Damn it... I don't trust either of them... I can't gamble such a big thing on her actually recognizing 'Golden Needle'!"

Just as Lin Yu was rapidly eliminating options from his mind one by one, and the situation was becoming increasingly pessimistic.

A voice rang out.

"I have a way..." "Feng Shui Master"—you hold off the "Diviner" and get me in there; I can go in alone.

Bifang's voice came through.

Lin Yu and Jian Cunyi both looked at Bifang.

"Bifang... you're really something? You just fought the Demon Ancestor!"

Jian Cunyi said.

Bifang nodded. "So I know His capabilities, and... I can guarantee that I can take Him down with minimal impact on the energy environment."

"My 'Heart Domain' can do that!"

"Moreover, I have a major advantage—I and 'Tengshe' are from the same organization, so our cooperation will be even more seamless!"

The "Swordsman" interrupted him.

"No—although we can hold out if you leave, I've already witnessed the Demon Ancestor's methods. Teacher Bifang, if you go, it's a nine-out-of-ten chance of death!"

"The current 'Tengshe' can't coordinate with you, so I'll go find a suitable match... I get stronger the more I fight!"

"What about the energy structure?" The "Feng Shui Master" and the "Director" are right. The primary consideration is the energy structure,"Bifang said firmly. "If you fight Demon Ancestor Gantuo, you might even collapse the passage! Your 'Heart Domain' is uncontrollable, Swordsman!"

As the two argued, the voice of the "Diviner" rang out.

"You talk as if I'd let you go... Survive under my thumb first, then we'll talk about this!"

The Compass spun, and the copper coins flew towards the two of them!

The "Swordsman" drew his sword to block, and the copper coins jingled and flew away, their trajectories deviating.

While "Bifang" was preparing to defend against this attack...

"Whoosh!"

A curtain of water opened, blocking the three copper coins in front of him.

Lin Yu's voice stood between Bifang and the Diviner.

He has already made his judgment.

"Teacher, let's do it your way... I'll take your place!"

Bifang was taken aback. "What are you, a mere 'Tier 2' cultivator, doing getting involved? 'Feng Shui Master,' send him away!"

Jian Cunyi's voice came through. "I didn't bring Brother Lin in, I can't get rid of him!"

"Don't worry, teacher, I'm fine," Lin Yu said, turning to reveal the three copper coins trapped inside the water sphere. "I'm not your average 'Tier 2'."

Bifang remained suspicious, but then he felt a tap on the shoulder.

Then, Bifang saw two familiar faces.

"Chongming, Robin? You two..."

"Tier 2" can't join the fun, but Tier 3 will do,"Chongming laughed. "The 'Night Watcher' shift will be filled by the 'Night Watcher'... Hurry up, don't let that vagrant die."

Robin whispered as well.

"Teacher, trust us... We were also sent here by the 'Gambler'," Robin pointed to the way they came, where the Imperial Guard' encirclement had been cleared, creating a passage. "Leave this to us... The 'Director' and I faced the 'Diviner' once before, we'll be fine."

Bifang wanted to say something more, but he knew that time was of the essence.

So Bifang nodded, looked at the two of them, and made up his mind.

"Okay... please be careful!"

"I guarantee Tengshe will be fine—and you two must also guarantee your own safety!"

Chongming spoke up, "Don't worry, we'll just play support..."

"Please take good care of yourself, teacher! The homeless can't die, and neither can you!"

Chongming's voice faded, Bifang looked at Chongming's face, said nothing, and simply nodded hastily before disappearing from the spot.

He withdrew from the battlefield and arrived at the entrance to the Reality Passage!

"" Director "!"

Teacher Bifang shouted, his voice emanating from the Little Bee that had somehow appeared on his waist, carrying a diffused electrical sound.

At Bifang's shout, Lin Yu raised his hand, and the water curtain of [Azure Sea Sky Dome] opened a gap, from which Bifang jumped down.

Then, the water curtain closed.

The Diviner looked grave as he observed the series of unexpected events.

"You went to all this trouble to send him, a 'Tier 4' being, to block the Demon Ancestor. Are you sending him to his death? Do you really think 'Bifang' can change anything?"

The Diviner spoke sternly, stretched out his hand, and three copper coins forcefully pierced through the water curtain, smashing towards Lin Yu's body.

"Ding-dong!"

A Talismans flew out, transforming into half a fan of green light, Jian Cunyi blocked the attack for Lin Yu.

"Seeing how anxious you are, you beast, I know we did the right thing!"

"Brother Lin, how's your Formation Dao formation training going? Anyway, help me set up a Formation —I've been wanting to personally beat this bastard up for a while now!"

Jian Cunyi raised his hand and sent a stream of Pure Qi into Lin Yu's body. Then, he picked up his Wooden Sword and rushed towards the Diviner!

"To be honest, Brother Jian, my Formation Dao formations is only at the beginner level..."

Lin Yu answered, and took over the complex Formation set up by Jian Cunyi.

The next moment, Jian Cunyi's figure flashed and appeared directly above the Diviner's head.

His sword, the Swordsman's attack, and Old Wu's attack formed a three-way blockade with almost no room for evasion!

The Diviner wanted to retreat, but as soon as he took a step back, he felt that his feet could not move at all—he couldn't even use his Escape Art.

A Canned Laughter came from beneath the Diviner's feet, followed by a cartoon mouse chaining an iron ball labeled "100T" to his foot before darting away.

"Sorry, Comedian uncle... this drawing was done in a bit of a rush..."

"Damn, Robin, this is already amazing—you're a genius! You should have been drawing comedy comics a long time ago!"

"I told you, Robin five seconds! Are you impressed?! Have you ever seen anything like this?!"

"Teacher Chongming, please don't say that..."

The Diviner, hearing the conversation mixed in with the Canned Laughter, chuckled helplessly.

"That's... such an annoying ability."

But no matter what, with those two swords and the saw coming down, the Diviner has no choice but to take the hit!

The Concealment Authority within him surged and was once again largely depleted.

Feeling the Wooden Sword strike him, Jian Cunyi.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Brother Lin, you've just 'entered the gate'? You've probably... entered the main hall of the inner chambers!"
