After this battle, Lin Yu finally understood why He Buxian cared so much about the whereabouts of that mysterious power.
After experiencing such pain and despair, no one would not be obsessed with the power behind it. No wonder He Buxian was willing to risk his life to find the whereabouts of that mysterious power.
Compared to Lin Yu now, He Buxian's situation back then was probably even more miserable. After being humiliated by absolute power, it's inevitable that a shadow would be left in his heart.
Especially after what just happened, even Lin Yu wanted to seize that mysterious power and take revenge.
Fortunately, Lin Yu retained some rationality and did not truly descend into madness.
Indeed, the magic treasures of this new era are stronger than those of the Three Thousand Immortal Realms era. Each one they take out is something that is incredibly powerful and shocking to the world.
That's why even some broken magical artifacts still possess energy that can shock cultivators, and the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone are among them.
Even though it has transformed from the Stone of Heaven Mending into fragments of Heaven Mending, each fragment is different and can absorb a certain amount of consciousness, allowing it to grow rapidly.
Lin Yu suddenly felt that the pain and burden on his body seemed to dissipate. At the same time, his eyes, which had been trapped in darkness, were also freed, and he was finally able to see his surroundings clearly.
Unlike before, this time it was completely black in front of me, making it impossible to see the specific situation clearly.
"Call..."
After his vision cleared, Lin Yu took a deep breath, feeling as if he had finally returned to the normal world.
Unfortunately, even in the "normal" world, his hands and feet were still tightly bound by chains, and there was no improvement.
As for the platform beneath him, Lin Yu finally had a chance to see it clearly.
There were nine gray-black platforms in total, arranged in a sequence like a keyboard, and they seemed to have something special about them.
However, everything seems to be getting better now. At least his strength has gradually recovered, and his spiritual energy source is no longer suppressed.
Lin Yu could clearly feel the power within his body gradually returning.
Thanks to the sudden storm that appeared earlier, it was the storm that kept crashing into Lin Yu's body that helped him quickly break the current stalemate.
Although Lin Yu still doesn't know where the storm came from, he guesses it's related to the Hongmeng System.
Once his strength had recovered sufficiently, Lin Yu began a new round of attempts, channeling his spiritual power to try and break free of the chains.
However, this process did not last long, because Lin Yu soon discovered that if he started to struggle, the energy in his body would decrease at a rapid pace.
At the same time, the spiritual energy that was constantly returning will also stop returning.
The rate at which spiritual energy was depleted could not keep up with the rate at which it was replenished, so Lin Yu was already exhausted in no time.
At the same time, Lin Yu also discovered that if he lay still on the high platform, his spiritual energy would gradually return to his body.
"It seems my current strength is insufficient to break these black iron chains," Lin Yu thought to himself.
Perhaps when spiritual energy accumulates to a certain level, this constraint will be broken, and freedom will be fully restored.
Fortunately, after everything that had just happened, Lin Yu was no longer in a hurry to break free of the chains. After all, his spiritual energy had returned to his body, and he was now capable of protecting himself.
Even with insufficient spiritual power, he can still use sword intent.
Based on the results of the test, sword intent seems to be the most useful thing in this space.
Even while lying on the high platform, they weren't idle.
He quietly observed his surroundings; the place resembled a cave.
Lin Yu didn't know when he arrived here, nor did he know what the meaning behind it was, but he knew that everything was related to that mysterious, ageless power.
Lin Yu now believes with absolute certainty that the mysterious power has developed a considerable degree of intelligence; otherwise, it would never have been able to devise such a scheme.
Once Lin Yu had recovered half of his energy, he began to review everything that had happened during his semi-conscious state, trying to see if he could make any new discoveries.
When no part of his body could generate power, only the storage space containing the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone reacted.
The fragment of the sky-mending object first emitted a burst of light, and then, because of this light, it sensed the light in the void, and the two lights resonated with each other and merged together.
Later, Lin Yu could only watch helplessly as the two fragments of the Heaven-Mending Patch were about to complete their fusion, and only by unleashing their frenzied power at the limit could he prevent the two fragments of the Heaven-Mending Patch from fusing further.
If we allow that intelligent fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone to devour the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone in Lin Yu's hand, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Back then, Lin Yu had to go through a lot of trouble to find this fragment of the Heaven-Mending Fragment in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea. Moreover, at that time, the spirit of the Heaven-Mending Fragment was only a very fragmented one.
This fragment of the sky-mending device clearly possesses a more powerful spiritual consciousness; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to devise such a perfect plan.
If Lin Yu hadn't acted quickly and used his sword intent to stop the two fragments of Heaven-Mending from fusing, the difficulty of subduing them later would have increased dramatically.
Although the consciousness of wisdom did not originally belong to the fragments of the sky-mending project, erasing it from them is no easy task.
Depending on the degree of fusion between the spiritual consciousness and the fragments of mending the heavens, if one is not careful, erasing the spiritual consciousness could very likely damage the fragments of mending the heavens.
It was easy for Lin Yu to erase the spiritual consciousness of one fragment of the Heaven-Mending Fragment, but if two fragments of the Heaven-Mending Fragment were to merge together, the power would not be as simple as one plus one equals two.
It's highly likely that the effect will be greater than the sum of its parts, and even if Lin Yu were to intervene, it would likely be extremely troublesome.
Overall, Lin Yu was fairly satisfied with the current outcome.
After waiting for about three incense sticks' worth of time, Lin Yu had accumulated enough power within his body.
This was the perfect opportunity to break free of the chains. Lin Yu smiled slightly, clenched his fists, channeled his spiritual energy to reach maximum speed, and then shouted to the heavens and earth, "Break!"
The once indestructible black iron chains shattered under Lin Yu's immense power, with some even turning into powder.
