"Break!" With Lin Yu's loud shout, the black iron chains that had bound him for so long snapped open.
Under the immense fluctuations of spiritual energy, a portion of the black iron chains even turned into powder uncontrollably, which was scattered by a gentle breeze as if they had never existed.
In front of Lin Yu at his peak, the heavy iron chains weighing a thousand pounds were nothing; this was absolute power.
Lin Yu smiled slightly, about to proceed with the next move, but before Lin Yu could even move, the platform that had bound him for so long vanished into thin air.
Fortunately, Lin Yu was strong enough that he wasn't too surprised.
Lin Yu immediately took to the air, leaping upwards and standing in the void.
It all seemed fraught with danger, but thankfully, we've weathered it all without serious incident.
If it weren't for Lin Yu's strong will and strength, ordinary cultivators would probably have been lost in this void.
Fortunately, Lin Yu had never wasted his cultivation time, which allowed him to remain calm and composed even when faced with crises.
Now that he was finally free from the chains and could walk freely, Lin Yu felt an unprecedented sense of ease.
"Brush..."
Lin Yu reached out and summoned the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Piece back into his hand.
Lin Yu rubbed the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone in his hand, which shimmered with seven-colored light and looked exactly the same as when he first obtained it.
However, in just three breaths, the fragment that mended the sky changed again.
A long, humanoid phantom appeared above the fragment of the sky-mending structure.
It was described as a humanoid phantom, but apart from a blurry body outline, Lin Yu couldn't make out any details at all. Neither the appearance nor the clothing was clear.
At first, the fragments of the sky-mending structure looked as if they had a few drops of dew on them.
However, the dew was not without consciousness; it gathered on the fragments of the sky-mending structure and quickly condensed into a human form.
As time went by, the human form became increasingly clear.
Lin Yu watched as the person in front of him, made of water droplets, gradually developed facial features, which went from being numb and calm at first to becoming vivid and lively later.
Finally, the water droplet even made a human-like expression, smiling slightly in Lin Yu's direction.
However, the smile looked somewhat stiff and rather eerie.
Nevertheless, Lin Yu could still detect a hint of smugness in it.
"You want the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone in my possession?" Lin Yu smiled slightly, looking at the water droplet figure in front of him.
This must be the consciousness behind that mysterious power, which has finally revealed itself.
As he spoke, Lin Yu waved his hand again, summoning the pure fragment of the Sky-Mending Stone in his hand.
Compared to the fragments used to mend the sky by the Water Droplets, the fragments in Lin Yu's hands were not only purer in power but also lacked any spiritual consciousness, making them the best food for the Water Droplets.
"Hehe, of course."
Unexpectedly, the water droplet actually spoke, its voice filled with undisguised greed.
At the same time, the Water Drop Man's eyes were fixed on the Sky-Mending Fragment in Lin Yu's hand, his gaze unwavering.
Everything was just as Lin Yu had guessed: the water droplet-like figure in front of him was a spirit born from the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone.
Although we don't know what happened to that fragment of the sky-mending structure that gave birth to such a spiritual consciousness, the die is cast, and there's no point in dwelling on it now.
If Lin Yu's guess is correct, the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone fell into the Netherworld Immortal Realm from the very beginning.
Although the Netherworld Immortal Realm is full of dangers, it also offers many opportunities. After gaining spiritual consciousness through some fortuitous encounter, this fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone is no longer a cold, lifeless magical artifact, but has developed its own desires.
He can even conjure up a human-like form through his spiritual consciousness.
The water droplet-shaped figure in front of you is the best proof of this.
Looking at this despicable creature in front of him, Lin Yu really had to be patient to force himself not to crush it. After all, all the trouble he had been going through these past few days actually stemmed from this little thing.
"Want a fragment? Not so easy. If you want it, take it from me yourself," Lin Yu said with a smile.
Thinking about it carefully, Lin Yu had previously thought that the power of the Heaven-Mending Fragment was not that difficult to deal with, but ever since he encountered this power, he had been at a disadvantage.
This experience was unprecedented for Lin Yu; he had even nearly fallen into danger just now.
"If you don't obediently hand over the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Piece, you'll regret it!" The water droplet-like figure pointed at Lin Yu with his finger without any politeness, his attitude extremely arrogant.
Lin Yu paid no attention to the threat from the Water Drop Man, because after being freed from the Xuan Iron Chains, his strength had almost fully recovered.
Right now, this water droplet-like person doesn't seem to realize that the fragments of the Sky-Mending Shard are already on his injured side, practically at his mercy as he's being battered and bruised.
"Hmph, I see you're determined to remain obstinate!" the Water Drop Man said aggressively, then raised his hand and waved it.
Lin Yu instinctively tried to block it, but realized that it wasn't an attack at all.
"Waaah..." At the same time, a sobbing sound came from not far away. The sound was like that of a child who was only a few years old. Lin Yu was slightly taken aback when he heard it.
That voice... why does it sound so familiar?
But apart from Haoyue Shen and Xu Ziyue, when had he ever seen a child?
After a slight moment of surprise, Lin Yu suddenly realized whose voice it was.
Feng Nianzhi!
"Hehe, that's the voice of the Phoenix Lord!" Seemingly noticing the change in Lin Yu's expression, the water droplet continued triumphantly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's mind raced. His first thought was, "Could it be that this little water droplet has also kidnapped Feng Nianzhi, which is why it's so fearless?"
But Lin Yu quickly dismissed the idea.
Regardless, Feng Nianzhi is the Phoenix Lord of the ancient Phoenix Clan. Even without awakening all her power, her strength is definitely not weak among cultivators.
There's no way this little water droplet figure could so easily bind Feng Nianzhi.
However, in the very next second, Lin Yu overturned this conjecture.
After all, her own strength was quite formidable, yet she had still stumbled in the face of the sudden attack from the water droplet-shaped figure. It was hard to guarantee that Feng Nianzhi wouldn't fall for it.
Moreover, since he was suddenly attacked by this water droplet-shaped figure and hadn't yet figured out what was behind it, Lin Yu had no way of knowing whether it was really Feng Nianzhi's voice.
