After refining the Devil Beast and searching the Devil Race’s sacred mountain, Lin Yu was drawn into a forbidden zone by a mysterious black-robed man. He broke the man’s black restriction, but a gray mist remained ahead as Lin Yu prepared to attack it.

He located the middle-aged man's restriction and sent his Devil Beast warriors to attack, discovering that one could kill a Late Golden Immortal cultivator in a single blow.

• Lin Yu used his physical strength to cut through the mist but could not break the restriction, and he suspected the black aura was related to Dragon Qi.
