Red Pattern Star.
The sky was dark and covered with thick clouds. A strong wind howled, causing the green trees in the city to bend and lean, almost unable to stand upright.
Lin Yuexiu stood inside the Central Star Group building, feeling the building shaking and trembling slightly.
That was the sound of an earthquake coming from afar.
Was it an earthquake?
Joshua walked over from the side, his brow also furrowed.
Having concealed a great deal of power, she naturally recognized long ago that it was a large-scale tremor caused by the destruction of the planet.
The destruction of the celestial body and its atmosphere leads to the tremors and adjustments of the entire celestial body.
"Not only that... it's said that other states' coastlines have also experienced massive tsunamis," Lin Yuexiu said in a deep voice.
"What is the specific reason?" Joshua asked.
"A destructive beam of light, seemingly from nowhere, flew in," Lin Yuexiu replied softly. "It damaged part of the planet's structure. The government is now working on establishing a planetary correction system to adjust the entire planet's orbit."
Joshua knew a little about the inside story and wanted to say that it was better to give up, as such actions would be futile; the real core and fundamental issue was the war between the three races outside the world.
The Endless Divine Clan were engaged in a civil war, and as a result, the Dragon Court and Swallow Fort thought they had an opportunity to take advantage of it and joined forces to invade.
The four forces are now locked in a fierce battle, but fortunately, because of this, Zhu Li has no time to deal with a fugitive like her.
In theory, she belongs to the Loyal King Faction and could return to the Divine King Alliance to join the fight against Zhu Li. But... she also hates the Divine King Alliance just as much.
For a moment, neither of them spoke, silently sensing the sudden change in the outside temperature.
Faced with the impact of major changes, their power was too weak to be considered significant.
Near the group's building, Lin Hui sat in a teahouse, ordered some snacks and tea, and quietly absorbed the huge Time String floating above Lin Yuexiu.
Despite the enormous size of the Time String, it was only necessary for Lin Yuexiu to be in the same city to easily absorb the power of the Time String.
However, he still habitually stayed close by, which allowed him to absorb the nutrients more quickly and also enabled him to protect Lin Yuexiu at any time.
Currently, Lin Yuexiu can provide both the Existence Force and the power of Time String, making her arguably his most crucial support in cultivation.
Therefore, their safety must not be compromised.
Having now broken through to the fifth level of the sword technique, his speed has begun to increase further.
Having severed his olfactory and oral desires, Lin Hui could no longer taste the pastries and black tea on the table.
He didn't care about any of that; he simply stayed quietly by Lin Yuexiu's side.
Now that a great war has broken out, the psionic monsters that used to appear frequently have completely disappeared.
With the God Clan garrison gone, the Central Star Group and other races were suddenly unrestrained and rapidly grew like wild grass.
Every day, they conduct large-scale internal special training and simulated battles.
Lin Hui noticed that some extraordinary and powerful individuals, unlike any he had ever seen before, seemed to be constantly emerging within the Central Star Group.
These powerful individuals are mostly at the third or fourth ring level, and their bodies have undergone extensive modifications, including both mechanical and biochemical alterations.
They appeared and disappeared frequently, seemingly coming to Red Pattern Star to search for something, but quickly leaving without finding it.
Although these powerful individuals possessed exaggerated strength, capable of easily destroying the surface of Red Pattern Star, they concealed themselves and caused no disturbance.
This made Lin Hui somewhat doubt their allegiance.
Fortunately, these people didn't want to alert the enemy, so they came quietly and left quietly.
While keeping an eye on and protecting Lin Yuexiu, Lin Hui also continuously adapted to the fifth level of the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique that he had just broken through to.
The fifth level seems to be a qualitative change, an improvement that is far greater than any of the previous levels.
Based on this sense of qualitative change, Lin Hui urgently needs to redefine his current level of practical combat.
Therefore, after screening a round of opponents, he finally chose the lesser calamities who were also in the calamity faction.
The worst of the secondary calamities is the Extreme Cold. Even the Cold Night Matriarch, at her limit, only possesses the strength of a fifth-ring cultivator, making it impossible to test her abilities.
Hai Ming has multiple Annihilation -level monsters, and Zhang Xinfan has become somewhat strange lately, with no specific records of battles against the Endless Divine Clan, so he's not really suitable for comparison.
Even if you fight them, you still can't indirectly determine their strength level within the God Clan.
Therefore, only Hell and Ashes are the more suitable choices.
The Chaos Emperor of Hell and the Military Lord have clashed, and the Ashes seem to have fought as well, but the outcome is unknown.
Lin Hui hesitated for a moment, but still chose Hell.
After all, Hell is the least intelligent of all, lacking in cunning and scheming.
Immediately, his true form within the Heart Source Demon Palace flashed away, leaving the palace and directly using the mark to tear open a Hell rift, stepping into it.
This was the first time Lin Hui had truly stepped into Hell since he had been in the Mist Man World.
Here, flames raged everywhere. Looking down from the sky, one could see volcanoes erupting continuously, spewing forth large amounts of black smoke and lava.
The air was thick with the toxic odor of sulfur, making it impossible to breathe.
Some of the black smoke even vaguely formed huge black ghost faces in mid-air, emitting faint, shrill laughter.
The sky was dark red, the earth was pitch black, and there were no plants on the ground, only huge, black, umbrella-shaped stone pillars resembling mushrooms.
They grow densely, one patch after another, forming a forest that is extremely eye-catching.
As soon as Lin Hui entered Hell, he felt waves of heat sweeping over him, with temperatures of at least several thousand degrees completely enveloping him.
Fortunately, he felt no temperature at all right now.
"What brings you here?" The Purgatory Duke's hearty laughter drifted from afar.
Before the sound had even stopped, the person was already several meters away. This guy was still the same as before, with a burly build, but he had changed into a more exquisite black armor, with dark red flames constantly shooting out from the gaps inside.
"I've only made a slight breakthrough in my cultivation and am looking for a place to test my skills. There are countless powerful individuals in Hell. I wonder if you could spare some of your men to spar with me?"
Lin Hui spoke frankly, without any attempt to hide anything.
"Um... A-Hui, with your level of strength, I'm no match for you. In Hell... the only one who can be your opponent is probably His Majesty the Emperor..." the Duke said in astonishment.
"Then please arrange a visit to His Majesty the Emperor," Lin Hui said with a smile.
Purgatory Duke immediately understood that the other party had come specifically to target His Majesty.
Cultivation breakthrough...?
He dares to challenge His Majesty after just one breakthrough? Isn't Lin Hui getting a little too arrogant...?
Before he could even respond, a massive black smoke face suddenly materialized in the distant sky.
"Interesting. In that case, let's bring him along. We've been quite free lately, it'll be good for him to get some exercise."
The voice of the Chaos Emperor echoed directly in their minds.
"Yes!" Purgatory Duke replied respectfully.
He glanced at Lin Hui and waved his hand.
"Come with me."
He wasn't worried about Lin Hui getting into trouble, since these Fusion Faction were basically immortal; even if they died, they would be resurrected by their own calamities.
Therefore, there is never any holding back in a friendly sparring match.
Lin Hui nodded and followed closely behind; the two quickly flew towards the horizon.
After traversing tens of thousands of kilometers, the sky in the distance gradually expanded from small to large, revealing an oval-shaped black Void Hole.
Beyond that Void Hole lay an endless expanse of Black Domain void.
This was clearly a gate to Hell opened in the void of the Black Domain.
The Chaos Emperor stood at the edge of the gate, in front of a roughly constructed black stone palace, gazing into the void.
He was dressed in a simple black robe, and his face was still covered by the golden mask of compassion, with his eyes closed.
The tiny, burning star behind them had now regained its original brilliance.
Sensing Lin Hui's arrival, he turned slightly to the side.
"Young Lin, instead of seeking guidance from your teacher, you come here to me. Do you think I'm easier to talk to than your master?"
"Senior, please don't be offended! It's just that I've bothered my teacher too many times, and I feel a bit embarrassed. In addition, I've always gotten along well with Hell, and I've always felt a sense of closeness and kindness towards you, so..." Lin Hui was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"Alright, enough with the pleasantries. I did eat quite a bit last time, so I'll take your favor and make it up to you this time. Now, tell me, how do you want to fight? How much of a handicap do you want me to give you?" the Chaos Emperor said, slightly impatiently.
"How about starting from 90% and gradually increasing it?" Lin Hui asked with a smile.
"You really dare to say that..." The Chaos Emperor laughed in anger.
"Senior..." Lin Hui had barely opened his mouth when he felt a flash of fire before his eyes.
The Chaos Emperor actually made the first move!?
"Giving you a chance doesn't mean you can take advantage of it!" The old man's voice finally entered my mind.
But the flames of the attack were already upon Lin Hui.
clang!
In an instant, Lin Hui drew his sword to parry, and the new Ruyi Sword, forged with the teacher's help, steadily blocked the large swath of flames.
The flames, initially scattered, coalesced, forming a large, black, charred hand gripping the blade.
This is clearly a means of materializing energy.
The giant hand was a materialized manifestation of extremely high concentrations of Hell power, with a temperature exceeding 300,000 degrees Celsius, accompanied by incredibly exaggerated Hell pollution.
The power of Hell calamity was frantically eroding the Surrounding Wind currents in front of Lin Hui.
However, the power of the Wind Disaster was clearly superior, and with its higher concentration (one level lower), it barely managed to block the materialized level of the Hell power.
But the next moment.
Smack
Another black hand appeared behind Lin Hui, grabbing at his neck.
The black hand materialized out of thin air, a materialization of extremely high concentrations of Hell power. Its polluting and corrosive power was terrifyingly strong.
Lin Hui dared not delay and took a deep breath.
The Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique was suddenly activated.
Based on the powerful Wind Energy generated by the transformation, and driven by the sword technique, the Ruyi Wish-Fulfilling transformed into a phantom.
This time, the phantom was not an ordinary sword shadow, but transformed directly into a beam of light.
The sword's exaggerated speed of 300,000 kilometers per second completely reached the speed limit allowed by the normal spacetime conventions at this moment.
The speed of the sword strike was so fast that it made the Chaos Emperor, who had initially intended to offer casual guidance, jump.
The miniature star floating behind it suddenly released a dazzling golden light.
boom!
A vast, golden torrent of Hell, centered on the Chaos Emperor, exploded and shot out in Four Faces.
With this move, he forcefully blocked Lin Hui's Ruyi Sword, which had transformed into light.
At this moment, he didn't even notice that Lin Hui first shattered the black hand behind him, then the black hand in front of him, and finally swung his sword at him in a counterattack.
He simply made the most rational move in the instant when he couldn't see the sword's shadow clearly.
Since we can't see clearly or keep up, we'll indiscriminately bombard the surrounding area.
As a seventh-ring materialized energy level, he could completely overwhelm Lin Hui in terms of energy level power.
