While Zhuliuyin Clone patiently fished in the cave, Yang Yu's Human Original Body, located beneath the clouds, was also busy.

They began searching for a suitable Clone throughout the Abyss Continent.

Constantly waiting for updates to the Virtual Universe Company's Treasure Vault, or for news from other people, is not very reliable.

After all, Zhuliuyin Clone has already cultivated to the World Lord Peak, and Yang Yu doesn't plan to stay at the Universe Level for too long. Once he finds the Clone, he will break through to the Domain Lord of his Human Original Body as soon as possible and start the next step of his plan.

Because of the unique nature of the Thunder Inheritance, Yang Yu's potential is destined to increase as time goes on.

Inside the spaceship.

Yang Yu focused one-tenth of his consciousness on the detector, while immersing the rest in cultivation.

The Abyss Continent is vast.

With a diameter of three light-years, such a large area would be difficult to explore completely, even with the speed and maneuverability of the Machine Race Spaceship.

Fortunately, Yang Yu's Illusory Memory Palace contained a vast amount of memories of the Abyss Native.

By sorting through these memories.

Yang Yu plans to focus on exploring three locations first.

These three locations are also known as the Abyss Three Great Perils, and are the places where Abyss Special Creature and Special Race of the abyss have the highest probability of existing.

The first place is called 'Abyss Canyon'. Although it is called a canyon, its area is surprisingly large. It could easily fit hundreds of Earths in it.

The second place is called the 'Silent Forest'. This forest is much larger than the Dark Forest that Yang Yu had stayed in before. Due to some special reasons, the memories Yang Yu absorbed did not include the specific area data of the 'Silent Forest', only that it was very, very large!

It's so vast that even a typical World Lord would need decades or centuries to fly out of it. Even immortals, unable to accelerate to the Light Speed to enter the Dark Universe, would need a very long time to traverse the entire Silent Forest.

However, Yang Yu will not delve too deeply into it, since he only needs to find a Universe Level Clone.

The third place is a strange land called the 'Demon God Sea'. This location is the only ocean on the Abyss Continent.

Calling it an ocean isn't entirely accurate, as it's more like a vast, almost boundless inland lake, surrounded by land. However, its area is so enormous that even immortals are unwilling to traverse the entire Demon God Sea.

Because it's really dangerous here!

According to the memories of the Dark Race World Lord, their stronghold is deep within the Demon God Sea!

A mysterious place called the 'Demon God Hall'.

As for the exact location of this Demon God Hall, these Dark Race, whose strength is only at the level of World Lord, do not know. Only when one of them breaks through to Immortality will they be told the specific location.

As he combed through the vast and complex sea of memories, a cryptic smile appeared in Yang Yu's eyes.

"Abyss Canyon, Silent Forest, Demon God Sea"

"The danger level of the three increases from one to the other. The most dangerous is the Demon God Sea, whose core depths are only accessible to Immortals. The Demon God Hall there should be roughly as powerful as the mysterious Abyss Temple."

Yang Yu pondered this in his mind.

"However, I'm only looking for Clone with Universe Level power; it shouldn't be necessary to venture into the depths of the Demon God Sea."

From the endless memories, we learned that the entire ocean region of the Demon God Sea is permeated with a powerful, unknown Will invasion, and the Time Flow Rate is even more unstable!

Space storms also occur from time to time near the center!

Once caught up in it, those below the level of World Lord have almost no hope of survival.

Therefore, it is difficult for creatures below the World Lord to survive in the Demon God Sea for a long time.

From this perspective, even if a suitable Clone exists in the Demon God Sea, it would only be on the periphery.

The same applies to the other two dangerous areas. The most dangerous core area is definitely not something we can venture into right now. Yang Yu plans to explore the peripheral areas first.

Three months later.

Looking down at the vast Abyss Canyon below, Yang Yu waved his hand to put away the Machine Race Spaceship, then his blood-red Moyun Battle Suit spread across his face, and he gripped Dark Red War Blade.

With a leap, he flew towards the Abyss Canyon below.

"Call out!"

Suddenly.

A long-range Spiritual Weapon attacked Yang Yu.

"Domain Lord?"

Within Yang Yu's Mental Force range, a giant, dark red lizard spat out a sharp fang— Spiritual Weapon it had nurtured.

"Snort!"

Yang Yu flicked his War Blade, and an extremely sharp Purple Blade Light shattered the incoming fangs!

Then, the undiminished power of the blade pierced into the lizard's head.

"Bang!"

The lizard's head exploded instantly.

Yang Yu Mental Force to include the lizard's True Spirit, and also stored the Dark Fire Lizard's corpse in his World Ring.

Then Soul Devour Secret Technique was activated, and Yang Yu absorbed all the memories of this Domain Lord Nine Dark Fire Lizard.

A moment later.

"As expected of one of the Abyss Three Great Perils, this Abyss Canyon is indeed dangerous. Even at the outermost edge, without Universe Level strength, even the most basic survival is a problem."

Yang Yu sorted through the Dark Fire Lizard's memories over thousands of years and found that most of them were just meaningless scenes of fighting and killing, with little useful information.

Even with its strength, this lizard had only ventured hundreds of thousands of miles into the Abyss Canyon before being frightened into fleeing. It had never ventured into any further areas.

Although it's said to be hundreds of thousands of miles, this distance is still within the edge of the canyon.

Even now, its territory is limited to a radius of tens of thousands of miles; beyond that lies the territory of other Domain Lord Level Fierce Beast.

"It seems I need to gather enough information first." Yang Yu traversed the canyon at lightning speed.

With the aid of the Soul Devour Secret Technique to read memories, Yang Yu's efficiency in finding his Clone will undoubtedly be extremely high.

Although the Abyss Canyon are collectively called canyons, the terrain of the surrounding areas is also quite varied.

It also has mountains, forests, lakes, swamps, and so on.

However, if you go a little deeper in, you'll reach the canyon area.

With his Mental Force covering tens of thousands of miles, Yang Yu quickly locked onto another Abyssal Fierce Beast at the Domain Lord Level Nine, the 'Dark Fire Ant'.

Judging by its appearance, this is a giant ant magnified countless times, with a body length of over 300 meters.

However, its entire body was a dark red color unique to the abyss. Judging from the memory of the Dark Fire Lizard that had just been killed, the scales on the surface of this Dark Fire Ant were extremely strong and could withstand its attacks. It was also very fast.

However, the Dark Fire Ant also have obvious weaknesses, namely that their attacks are not strong enough and they cannot break through the Dark Fire Lizard's defenses.

Thus, the two maintained a delicate balance, coexisting in adjacent territories without any conflict for nearly a thousand years.

It is foreseeable that as long as neither of them breaks through to the World Lord, this balance will continue.

Until Yang Yu arrived

Mental Force to lock onto the Dark Fire Ant in their nest deep underground, Yang Yu Soul-Splitting Slash!

"Pfft~"

An Illusory Blade Shadow instantly traversed nearly ten thousand meters, piercing straight into the Dark Fire Ant's head and tearing its soul apart.

Even though the Fierce Beast at the Domain Lord Level had lived in the Abyss Canyon for many years, which had given them Will Strength comparable to that of the World Lord Early Stage, they still couldn't withstand Yang Yu's powerful and fierce Soul-Splitting Slash.

"Whoosh!"

Yang Yu arrived at the Dark Fire Ant's nest and instantly refined the Dark Fire Ant's True Spirit, absorbing all its memories.

Yang Yu then carefully collected the corpses of the Dark Fire Ant.

These Abyss Native Fierce Beast are rare sights outside. Since we've already killed them, we should keep them safe for future use.

As Yang Yu sorted through and absorbed the memories of the Dark Fire Ant, he explored the enormous ant nest with great interest.

Inside the nest, there were still many unhatched Dark Fire Ant eggs, each several times larger than Yang Yu himself.

Judging from their aura, these ants were conceived at Star Level.

Yang Yu scanned the area with his Mental Force and found that apart from tens of thousands of eggs, there was nothing else unusual about it.

Although these eggs weren't particularly valuable, Yang Yu's World Ring was large enough that he packed them all up and took them with him.

Who knows, it might come in handy someday, or it wouldn't be bad to keep it as a snack for Zhuliuyin Clone.

Back on the surface, Yang Yu continued his attack on the location of the next Domain Lord Level Fierce Beast.

Over the next few days.

Yang Yu swept through the surrounding area of a million miles, effectively exploring a small corner of the outer region of the Abyss Canyon.

During this period, they hunted down hundreds of Fierce Beasts of varying strengths.

The strongest among them was a Dark Fire Crocodile at the World Lord First Stage. After Yang Yu killed it, he obtained a precious memory from its True Spirit.

In this Dark Fire Crocodile's nearly 100,000-year-old memory, much of it consists of cultivation and combat, with little of value.

For Yang Yu, there was only one clue.

Millions of miles ahead, in a lake spanning tens of thousands of miles, lives a special Universe Level creature!

However, this is a memory from a thousand years ago for the Dark Fire Crocodile. At that time, it was only Domain Lord Level Nine, and it was going out to find an opportunity to break through to the World Lord.

In that lake, they encountered Special Creature that was only at the Universe Level 7 at the time. The Dark Fire Crocodile immediately intended to hunt down this strange-looking creature.

Although the opponent was only at the Universe Level 7, his understanding of Space Law was exceptionally high. Even the Domain Lord Nine Dark Fire Crocodile, despite his best efforts, could not catch him.

After several attempts, the Dark Fire Crocodile gave up the pursuit and went to other places to continue honing its skills.

Hundreds of years ago, Dark Fire Crocodile finally broke through to the World Lord. Thinking that he had completely consolidated his strength, he would go to that lake again to find the Special Creature that had humiliated him.

But before it could even set off, Yang Yu, that Killing Star, arrived.

From the Dark Fire Crocodile's memories, Yang Yu knew the physical characteristics and body shape of this Special Creature that was skilled in Space Law.

Yang Yu had never seen this Special Creature before, but based on the appearance in the Dark Fire Crocodile's memory, Yang Yu named it 'Dark Fire Flood Dragon'.

This Special Creature is very similar to the Fire Scale Snake that Yang Yu killed before, but it has three sharp, dark red horns on its head and its body shape is also similar to the 'Jiao' in Huaxia legend.

Having obtained this valuable information, Yang Yu immediately flew into the clouds, retrieved the Machine Race Spaceship, and headed towards the lake.

After half a day.

Yang Yu arrived at the lake, which was nestled among the mountains.

Although it's called a lake, its area is comparable to that of the Pacific Ocean.

"Hopefully, this Special Creature skilled in Space Law hasn't broken through to the Domain Lord yet. A thousand years ago, it was at the Universe Level 7. After all these years, it should at least have reached the Universe Level Nine."

Yang Yu leaped out of the spaceship, pondering as he fell.

"However, breaking through from the Universe Level to the Domain Lord is a leap in the Life Level. Even if all the conditions are met, it is still necessary to seek that sliver of opportunity for breakthrough. Perhaps it is still at the Universe Level Nine!"

Judging from the Dark Fire Crocodile's memories, this Special Creature, which Yang Yu named Dark Fire Flood Dragon, is very likely Special Life born from the Abyss World!

At the very least, they are Special Race like the Mosha Clan Clone, naturally skilled in the Space Law.

However, Yang Yu speculated that this Dark Fire Flood Dragon's potential was probably not great. After all, when it faced the Domain Lord Level Dark Fire Crocodile, it only dared to flee, so it probably wasn't strong in frontal attacks and didn't have any powerful Talent Secret Technique or other special abilities.

If it were a powerful Special Life like Zhuliuyin, this Dark Fire Crocodile would have died long ago.

Of course, it's also possible that the Dark Fire Flood Dragon didn't want to waste its energy and was too lazy to get entangled with the Dark Fire Crocodile.

With these thoughts in mind, Yang Yu had already fallen into the air above the lake, and then his immense Mental Force swept outwards.

A moment later.

Yang Yu smiled with satisfaction.

"Found you!"

"And he hasn't even broken through to the Domain Lord yet, what good luck!"

"Boom!"

Instantly, 224 Moyun Vine extended from Yang Yu's body, rapidly reaching towards the depths of the lake.

Each Main Vine, extending to its fullest extent, is enough to cover the entire lake!

When all 224 Main Vine flew out together, they completely blotted out the sky and instantly extended to the bottom of the lake, binding and enveloping the Dark Fire Flood Dragon that was still cultivating.

Before the Dark Fire Flood Dragon could react, it was instantly entangled and trapped by the Moyun Vine, which was at the peak of the World Lord Peak level.

"Hiss~"

"Hiss~"

The Dark Fire Flood Dragon, now a thousand meters long, writhed wildly, but it was no match for the World Lord Level Moyun Vine, renowned for its defense and Entrap Enemy.

Its resistance was doomed to be futile.

"Whoosh!"

Above the lake.

One of the Main Vine of the Moyun Vine branched out into countless smaller vines, forming a cage that trapped the Dark Fire Flood Dragon within.

Even though the Dark Fire Flood Dragon created hundreds of Phantom Body unleashing a fierce attack, it still couldn't break free of the cage formed by the Moyun Vine.

"As expected, spending a huge amount of Points to evolve the Moyun Vine to the World Lord Peak before coming here was a wise choice."

Yang Yu looked at the Dark Fire Flood Dragon fighting desperately ahead with delight, and noticed the spatial tremors caused by its desperate struggle, which made him even happier.

To possess such spatial comprehension at the Universe Level, and to unleash Material Attack that cause space to tremble, it would indeed be difficult for Yang Yu to capture it on his own without the assistance of the World Lord Level Moyun Vine.

With at least this level of Law Comprehension and so many Phantom Body, the opponent's speed would be very fast and their Movement Technique would be very agile. It would be extremely difficult to capture them alive without taking any damage.

But now.

Everything is just right!

Seeing the Dark Fire Flood Dragon still desperately trying to break free of its prison, Yang Yu's eyes turned cold, and an invisible Mental Force attacked it.

It was during these years of researching the "Time True Explanation" that Yang Yu casually mastered this soul-illusion technique.

"Soul Illusion!"

Once cast, if the opponent's Soul Defense is not strong enough, they will instantly fall into an eternal Illusion Realm.

"Boom!"

Yang Yu, now so powerful it rivals that of Marquis Level Immortal, was driving this illusion technique.

Although the Dark Fire Flood Dragon's soul strength was not weak, it only resisted for a moment before all its Soul Defense were breached, and it fell into the Illusion Realm woven by Yang Yu.

At this moment, Yang Yu's consciousness also successfully invaded the Dark Fire Flood Dragon's Consciousness Sea, easily reading its shallow memories.
