He Buxian was deeply troubled and couldn't find a solution no matter how hard he tried.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu, far away in the Archaic Phoenix Clan's habitat, also sensed what was happening on He Buxian's side.

In that instant, she suddenly sensed that He Buxian's aura had vanished and that he was enveloped by some inexplicable force.

Although Lin Yu deduced that He Buxian was not in danger at that moment, he was completely lifeless, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was indeed on the verge of death and in a critical situation.

Just as Lin Yu was about to leave the Phoenix Ancestral Sea to rescue He Buxian, the situation suddenly changed.

That terrifying power suddenly vanished without a sound, as if it had never existed at all.

It appears and disappears into thin air, leaving almost no trace.

Fortunately, He Buxian's power and aura returned to normal, and Lin Yu could sense his presence again.

However, that force just now gave Laiyin a very strange feeling.

fear.

Yes, it was fear, and a very deep fear at that, a fear that seemed to be deep within the soul.

This feeling was quite unfamiliar to Lin Yu; in fact, it shouldn't have happened to him at all.

After arriving in the fantasy world, Lin Yu has had a smooth and successful life, almost never encountering any insurmountable situation. He is always the one instilling fear in others, and no force or power has ever had such an impact on Lin Yu.

Fortunately, this feeling was fleeting and did not leave much of a mark on Lin Yu's mind.

But who is Lin Yu?

Even though this relationship was fleeting, he still managed to capture it.

Could it be that some unfathomable sect or force exists within these Three Thousand Immortal Worlds?

Lin Yu pondered to himself, feeling that the Three Thousand Immortal Worlds were still too vast. Although he possessed extraordinary strength, he still had not fully comprehended all the secrets of this world.

And why was that force targeting He Buxian?

Lin Yu had a big question mark in his mind.

"System, identify the source of the Qi of Chaos that just enveloped He Buxian!"

Lin Yu immediately summoned the system.

Thinking about it carefully, it's been a while since Lin Yu summoned the system since he reached his current level of strength.

Now, it's finally time for the system to show its true capabilities.

The system's voice sounded excited as well, responding to Lin Yu almost immediately.

"Received! Scanning for Qi of Chaos... Scanning for Qi of Chaos..."

"Ding! Qi of Chaos scan does not exist!"

"The scan does not exist?!" This result was unexpected for Lin Yu. When that Qi of Chaos suddenly appeared, Lin Yu could feel that it had disappeared without a trace.

However, Lin Yu did not expect that the system, which was always all-powerful and capable, could not detect the source of that aura.

"It seems there's an even bigger secret behind this Qi of Chaos," Lin Yu speculated.

Although he was very curious about the specific source of the Qi of Chaos, Lin Yu had more pressing matters to attend to, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being.

Fortunately, Lin Yu had already considered this matter; all of this must be related to the events of the Dao Qi era.

Just as Lin Yu was about to withdraw his focus and continue exploring the surrounding world, a black mist suddenly appeared around him.

The mist appeared suddenly, its origin unknown, and Lin Yu couldn't help but frown.

In the pitch-black fog, several small figures could be vaguely seen. The figures were humanoid, but seemed to be only slightly larger than the palm of a hand.

The thing was neither human nor human, and on its back grew a strange object, like a newly sprouted bud.

However, shrouded in layers of black mist, the shadow of that little thing gradually became fainter, and before they knew it, the air seemed to thin out.

Lin Yu frowned slightly. The situation before him was indeed beyond his expectations, and these things seemed to be outside the realm of divine secrets, so Lin Yu had no way to deduce them.

Fortunately, Lin Yu is now very strong, so the current crisis is nothing to worry about.

With a casual wave of his hand, Lin Yu unleashed Power of Thunder capable of piercing through the clouds and revealing the sun. The terrifying lightning instantly tore the black mist apart.

"Buzz..."

With a soft buzzing sound, the mist dissipated, and Lin Yu suddenly saw that the little monster that had disappeared into the mist seemed to have reappeared.

The next second, the mist that Lin Yu had just dispersed all gathered together, and the little white monsters seemed to become even more lively, jumping and leaping around, looking incredibly happy.

However, their movements, though seemingly disordered, were not actually so; piercing sounds emanated from the depths of the black mist.

The sound rang out rhythmically as the little white monsters bounced up and down.

It was like a sound emanating from the depths of an abyss.

Whenever the black mist gathers, the little monsters disappear, leaving only the sound of their constant jumping. Whenever the black mist dissipates, the little monsters reappear, generating black mist once more.

Hehe... hehe... hehe..."

This went on for several times. As the little monsters jumped, they began to laugh. Their laughter was as innocent and bright as a child's, but it carried an extremely eerie emotion.

Could this black fog be related to the previous attack on He Buxian?

Lin Yu was somewhat puzzled, but considering this, she didn't rush to make a move, instead letting the black weapon wrap around her.

Unbeknownst to him, the black mist drew ever closer to Lin Yu, eventually enveloping him completely.

Lin Yu's vision suddenly turned completely black, so black that he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face, but Lin Yu's mental power was not restricted and instead actively explored his surroundings.

At first glance, it seems that Lin Yu has relinquished the initiative, but in reality, Lin Yu has always maintained control.

After all, it has always been Lin Yu who has utterly defeated his opponents, not the other way around.

"System, analyze the composition and origin of this black weapon."

"Ding! Analysis in progress... Analysis complete! Click to view the analysis results!"

Fortunately, this time, the system did not disappoint Lin Yu and finally managed to analyze the composition of the black mist.

"This black mist shares the same origin as the Heaven-Mending Fragment, but it possesses completely opposite power. The only way to dissolve it is by using Origin Technique."

This is the answer provided by the system.

Lin Yu frowned, his gaze piercing through the black mist and faintly landing on the Phoenix Ancestral Sea.

This thing is actually related to the Heaven-Mending Fragment? Everything seems to have become increasingly mysterious.
