The water droplet-shaped figure, believing it had rendered Lin Yu speechless, was extremely smug, its head held high as it laughed heartily.
Its voice was hoarse and sounded incredibly eerie.
Lin Yu shook his head. This Heaven-Mending Fragment was so arrogant, even mocking him for being "careless." It was truly a double standard to the extreme.
Unfortunately, what the water droplet didn't know was that everything was actually part of Lin Yu's plan.
"I've seen through your plan. The reason I still dare to come out is because you can't do anything to me!" the Water Drop Man said smugly.
"So what if you see through it? So what if you don't?" Lin Yu seemed completely indifferent.
In fact, the existence of He Buxian and the Fallen Black Phoenix is not that important. If we have to say something, Fengchang Pavilion is not enough to affect the outcome of this battle.
What the Waterdrops didn't understand was that from the very beginning, the decision to fight this battle wasn't made by Feng Changge, He Buxian, or any of the Fallen/Black Phoenixes.
The one who truly decides this battle is Lin Yu himself.
In other words, the battle was already lost the moment the Water Droplets first appeared.
While they were talking, Lin Yu even multitasked, diverting some of his attention to check on the progress of the Fallen Black Phoenix, He Buxian, and Feng Changge.
To Lin Yu's surprise, the three people seemed to be quite a distance away from him.
It seemed that their speed just now had already reached the limit for the three of them, Lin Yu thought to himself with a sigh.
If it weren't me chasing the water droplet this time, it might have really run away long ago, just as the water droplet person said.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
The fact that this water droplet-like being can have such a high speed boost must be because it has integrated some of the attributes from the Sky-Mending Stone; otherwise, it would be impossible for it to reach such a level on its own.
The Water Drop's current achievements have little to do with its own intelligence, but rather with the Stone that mended the sky.
"Hehe, how can it not be related? Do you think I can't see that you're stalling for time?" The water droplet man laughed smugly.
"I advise you not to waste your energy. The three guys behind you won't be coming. I've already set a trap on the road. Don't even dream about waiting for their help," the "water droplet man" kindly reminded Lin Yu.
"While you can fly over unscathed, those three guys... hehe, they might not be so lucky!"
After saying that, the water droplet man laughed triumphantly again.
Although the face was still blurry, Lin Yu could still hear a sense of confidence in the voice of the Water Drop Man.
Lin Yu suddenly realized something: if the water droplet person was able to realize that his taking out that fragment of the Heaven-Mending Sword was a trap, how could he have entered into it without any preparation?
The reason it would appear directly is twofold: firstly, the Heaven-Mending Fragment itself is extremely fast, and it is very confident in its speed; secondly, it is highly likely that it has made some preparations!
And this preparation was clearly underway along its journey!
Given the speed at which the fragment that mended the sky had just moved, it would have been impossible for it to have had the time to set up another trap. Therefore, the trap must have been set up before the fragment mended the sky.
The fragments that seemed to be fleeing in a panic just now actually concealed a secret all along.
"It seems you're still afraid of this Palace Master." To the surprise of the Heaven-Mending Fragment, Lin Yu not only didn't get angry but laughed and said this.
In fact, Lin Yu had already realized something was wrong on the way here.
The reason he didn't intervene was to mislead the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Fragment, making it believe that he was unaware of the matter. Of course, this was also to lower the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Fragment's guard.
The fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone were testing Lin Yu, but wasn't Lin Yu also testing the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone?
However, for Lin Yu, the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Fragment evoked more fear, because Lin Yu seemed far too unfathomable, especially after their previous encounter, which intensified this feeling.
Lin Yu did this primarily to observe the condition of the Heaven-Mending Fragments and obtain more information from them.
It should be noted that while many ancient books and cultivation techniques from the Daoqi era have survived, there is absolutely no information regarding the true reasons for the Daoqi era's demise.
Lin Yu wanted to understand, so he took this opportunity to study it carefully.
Lin Yu made another discovery from what the Water Drop Man said.
That is, the droplet-like person's intelligence is growing at an extremely rapid rate.
In previous encounters, the Waterdrops didn't seem to be this clever; they didn't even have the idea of "setting traps in advance." But this time, the Waterdrops learned to plan ahead.
Even human cultivators couldn't grow their intelligence this quickly, which only proves that the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone are an extremely special magical artifact.
If I don't take action to remove the spiritual consciousness from the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone, no one knows what it will become in the future.
Lin Yu believed that his appearance in the Dao Qi Era was to resolve the issue of the Heaven-Mending Fragment, and that everything was predestined.
"I must leave behind a portion of the spirit of the Heaven-Mending Fragment later to study it carefully and find out its connection with the dark power I discovered earlier," Lin Yu thought to himself.
The dark forces that appeared during the cataclysmic calamity caught Lin Yu's attention. Lin Yu knew that if he did not prepare in advance, the Three Thousand Immortal Realms era might face such a cataclysmic calamity.
"Unfortunately, if we don't deal with this fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone soon, as its power grows, it will definitely no longer want to stay in just one place like the Netherworld Immortal Realm."
"To become a king and a hegemon may not be just talk."
Lin Yu stared at the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone and thought to himself.
The fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone felt a chill run down its spine. Lin Yu Lin Yu should be in an extremely disadvantageous position right now, but his expression remained calm and composed, without the slightest change, which made it somewhat uneasy.
However, the intelligence of this fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone was still immature. It only felt uneasy for a moment before nonchalantly thinking, "This guy isn't that powerful. He's just bluffing. He's probably already panicking inside."
"Rest assured, now that I'm here, I have no intention of letting go of a mutated fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone. For an ancient artifact like this, what difference is there between becoming like this and willingly falling into ruin?"
