The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 897 - 403: The Essence of the World is Matryoshka Dolls
As soon as the fireball touched the membrane, Lin Yun felt a powerful ripple spreading out like a silent thunder, as if the heavens and earth emitted a tremendous roar, yet Lin Yun heard no sound.
Could this be the legendary "Great Sound of Silence"?
Lin Yun pondered this as he continued to channel Divine Power without pause.
The ripple kept spreading, and Lin Yun finally saw a few cracks appear.
Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood, watching from a distance, noticed the changes and couldn’t help but cheer Lin Yun on: "Brother Yun is so awesome, put a bit more strength, it’s about to crack!"
Lin Yun inwardly exclaimed "What the f*ck," his little sister was truly pure and desirous at the same time.
Lin Yun was certain that his sister wasn’t doing this on purpose, but every time she spoke it sounded suggestive. Maybe this was a unique talent?
While thinking these various thoughts, Lin Yun kept up his exertion.
The small sun continued to compress, fiercely merging and colliding with the energy from Reverse Chaos and the membrane, and finally, the cracks grew bigger.
But just when Lin Yun thought he was about to succeed, droplets of bright red liquid flowed out, quickly repairing the cracks to completion.
Some of the excess liquid fell onto Lin Yun’s hands and quickly merged into his body.
"What is this?"
Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood asked curiously, and Lin Yun could only shake his head.
He didn’t know what it was, but it was clear that his small sun could damage the membrane at the edge of the world, and even though it had a strong repairing ability, if Lin Yun could damage it once, he could certainly damage it a second time.
It just wasn’t known what the consequences would be after the damage, looking at this blood, it always felt a bit ominous.
"Oh boy, don’t tell me this is the source of the Sinful Blood?"
A thought suddenly crossed Lin Yun’s mind, and for a moment, he felt a chill run down his spine.
If this really was Sinful Blood, did that mean he’d made a huge blunder?
But now there was no turning back. Even though bright red liquid like blood flowed from the contact point between the small sun and the membrane, it was simply incinerated by the small sun, leaving behind only a small hole that did not close. And this liquid, after being incinerated by the small sun, didn’t evaporate into nothingness, but instead fell onto Lin Yun and merged into his body.
What on earth is this!
Lin Yun felt anxious, suspecting he may have gone too far.
The speed at which the membrane repaired itself wasn’t faster than Lin Yun could damage it; although Lin Yun couldn’t create as many cracks as before, the hole burned near the small sun was slowly expanding. Gradually, it burned large enough for a person to pass through.
The hole was pitch black, and even the bright light from the small sun couldn’t illuminate the intense darkness within.
As Lin Yun increased the damage to the membrane, he could clearly feel the blood-like liquid becoming more plentiful, to the point where he needed to release more Divine Power just to maintain the size of the black hole, lest he lose focus and the black hole closes back up on him.
Lin Yun made a snap decision, knowing that if he continued, he might not have the chance to create a larger passage. To find out what lay beyond the membrane, he only had one chance!
"I’m jumping!"
After shouting these three words, Lin Yun transformed into a streak of firelight and whooshed into the hole. The instant he entered, the small sun extinguished, and after its light went out, the black hole healed in the blink of an eye, returning to its original state.
Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood stood there stupefied, frantically pounding on the membrane to no avail. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"It’s over, it’s over, I’ve lost Brother Yun, my sister is going to kill me!"
She was fully aware of the gravity of the situation. Qing Nu valued Lin Yun so highly that once she learned he went missing while with her, Qing Nu would definitely have the heart to kill her.
However, if anyone could save Lin Yun now, it would definitely be Qing Nu.
Despite its fear, the Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood did not hesitate and quickly returned to the Great Wilderness, finding Qing Nu, who was in a deep slumber...
At this very moment, Lin Yun had successfully reached another world.
Just after passing through the world’s barrier, Lin Yun saw a scene that shocked him.
It was as if he had arrived at a different starry sky, where he saw stars fill the sky.
However, these stars were not stars at all, but glowing bubbles. The scene was somewhat familiar; he had witnessed something similar in the Desolate Ruins previously, but there was no endless void here.
The place he had just leaped out from was also a small bubble, one that was extremely ordinary among the myriad "stars".
Lin Yun had never imagined that breaking through the barrier at the end of the world would lead to an even larger world.
It was like nesting dolls, with the smaller world enveloped by the larger world, and beyond this large world, there might well be an even larger one.
Looking at everything in front of him, Lin Yun suddenly felt as if he was questioning his entire life.
It was like leveling up his entire life, finally reaching max level, thinking he was invincible in the Mortal Realm, but before he could start showing off, he found that the game had changed maps, realizing that he had just been mingling in a newbie village all along.
This truly was a case of "there are skies beyond our sky".
Upon seeing the new expansive world, Lin Yun naturally felt a bit lost at first, but he soon cheered up.
In this vast collection of worlds, could one of them be the world he came from? Did he still have a chance to return home?
Moreover, since he had leaped beyond the world’s barrier, did that mean he now had greater potential for ascension?
His cultivation realm had been at a standstill for a long time.
That is, he had reached the limit of the world, and now that he had shattered the world’s barrier, perhaps this meant he had the opportunity to break through his limitations.
Arriving here certainly presented many challenges, but it might also mean having even more opportunities.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Yun began to focus his senses, aiming to understand the mysteries of the celestial space he was in and determine what level his strength amounted to in this place.
However, as soon as he released his Divine Sense, his sanity began to plummet rapidly.
With his naked eyes, he only saw stars scattered across the sky, but when he deployed his Divine Sense, the true nature of the world began to manifest before his eyes.
Each star was connected to a blood-red tentacle. The tentacles were semi-transparent and emitted a faint glow that allowed the blood color within to be seen.
The stars were numerous and dense, and the tentacles interwove like a spider web.
Lin Yun’s Divine Sense followed these tentacles and saw their destination; all of the tentacles came together at a point where there was a sphere of light more brilliant than any of the smaller worlds. If the small worlds looked like stars to Lin Yun, then this grand sphere was like the blazing sun.
Beneath this grand luminous sphere was something resembling a placenta from which these invisible tentacles grew, reaching out to the many small worlds.
The small world where Lin Yun was located was no exception.
The grandest luminous sphere, like a greedy infant using the tentacles as an umbilical cord, frenziedly sucked the nutrients from each of the small worlds, fueling its own robust growth.
Furthermore, the tentacles contained a certain essence of the Dao, and Lin Yun quickly realized it was the aura of fate.
In that moment, Lin Yun understood.
This was the adversary that he and Tai Bai had previously hypothesized, the extraterrestrial opponent.
But in fact, both he and Tai Bai are under the arrangement of destiny.
They are both Divine Spirits standing at the pinnacle of the world, the fate of that world can no longer affect them, the only thing that can arrange their destiny is a higher order of fate.
This is also like a set of Russian nesting dolls, the fate of the great world controlling the fate of the smaller worlds.
It’s just not known why he was able to step out of that world and gain insight into all of this.
"No matter the reason, since I am here, let me change all of this!"
Lin Yun felt that perhaps he was the one to change destiny.
He wanted to change not only the fate of this small world but also his own destiny.
Looking at the tentacles that had landed on his own little world, Lin Yun angrily created a small sun.
This small sun was even larger than when he broke the world’s barrier, and as it unleashed its wrath upon those invisible tentacles, Lin Yun blasted them to explode instantaneously, splattering blood everywhere, surging towards him.
From this blood, Lin Yun sensed a familiar aura.
Yes, it was Sinful Blood.
After all, he was the one who had actively absorbed Sinful Blood before, so he was very sensitive to its scent.
Unexpectedly, the source of the Sinful Blood turned out to indeed be from an extraterrestrial domain.
However, this time Lin Yun was prepared, and he certainly would not allow the Sinful Blood to stain him again.
The protective flames surged outwards, instantly burning the splashed blood into mist, and yet the Sinful Blood did not dissipate.
One has to admit, the Sinful Blood is indeed formidable.
Lin Yun’s action of destroying the tentacle seemed to have awakened a slumbering monster.
Originally, these tentacles were very quiet, merely silently feeding on the various small worlds, but after Lin Yun broke one of them, the monster sprang to life.
The tentacle Lin Yun had shattered instantly regenerated, and the nearby tentacles began to coil towards him.
This scene caused Lin Yun’s sanity to plummet.
He couldn’t help but complain in his mind, don’t any of those "stars" next door like to bounce around outside?
Everyone should band together and rebel!
Unfortunately, the buff that Lin Yun wished for seemed to have no effect outside of the world, and none of the surrounding small worlds produced someone on the same level as Lin Yun. He was left to fight alone.
Fortunately, his flames seemed to have a restraining effect on these tentacles imbued with the aura of destiny. Although he couldn’t kill the tentacles along with the placenta, they could not trouble him either. As soon as they approached the flames, they would be destroyed by the Reverse Chaos force field he had condensed around him, eventually turning into a sky full of blood mist.
Before long, Lin Yun found himself enveloped in a cloud of blood mist, and the tentacles kept regenerating.
The longer the battle lasted, the more worried Lin Yun became. He was fighting on the enemy’s turf, and he had no idea if the enemy had any reinforcements.
Lin Yun was starting to think about fleeing.
But it seemed there was nowhere to run now; behind him was his homeland, and to open the barrier, he would have to use the small sun to break the world’s barrier with all his might.
While he was thinking this, Lin Yun suddenly saw several cracks appearing on the bubble of his little world.
Lin Yun suddenly remembered that the same reaction had occurred when he had been smashing around inside before; could it be that Fourth Elder was trying to break the barrier?
Lin Yun was not pleased but alarmed instead. Although Fourth Elder’s breach of the barrier could provide him some assistance, offering him an additional escape route, it also meant he could potentially bring back something highly undesirable.
But now he was surrounded by Sinful Blood. What if even a speck touched him? Wouldn’t that just mean he’d carry the Sinful Blood back with him?
It was possible that Qing Nu had been infected by the Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood.
Hey, wait, Sinful Blood can be transmitted through blood and bodily fluids. If, in history, it was indeed because he had broken the spatial barrier, allowing the Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood to be saved and subsequently infected by Sinful Blood, how then did it transmit the infection to Qing Nu?
Lin Yun’s mind flashed with some rather delightful scenarios, but he quickly shook his head. At such a critical moment, his mind was unexpectedly filled with frivolous thoughts.
As he pondered, the crack in the small world behind him grew larger, and Lin Yun could no longer afford to hesitate.
The blood fog was tough to deal with; he had to rely on himself to resolve it.
He had experience absorbing Sinful Blood, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
With a thought, Lin Yun released several mini suns, shattering the encroaching tendrils. As they sprayed out blood, Lin Yun collected it without hesitation, and his entire being transformed into a gigantic figure piercing the sky, inhaling all the nearby blood fog in one breath. The world cleared for a moment, and at that time, the crack in the small world finally opened enough for Lin Yun to dive through without a second thought.
However, a tendril still followed closely, squeezing through the narrow crack.
"Slash!"
Lin Yun heard a clear command and saw a flash of golden light; the pursuing tendril was severed in an instant, and the world’s barrier quickly healed.
Lin Yun watched nervously as the segment of tendril remained intact rather than exploding, and the blood inside faded to transparency.
Lin Yun didn’t dare keep it around. He burned it to ashes before turning to see who had come, only to discover Qing Nu and her three sisters were all present.
The one who had struck that blow was Tai Bai.
"What was that just now?"
Tai Bai asked curiously, her sense of wonder extremely strong. If not for the world’s crack closing, she would also have liked to join Lin Yun for some fun outside.
Always staying in this small heaven, she had gotten bored.
"Nothing much, just a monster."
Lin Yun did not want to discuss the matters beyond their world with them, but clearly, everyone was curious.
Qing Nu even proposed directly: "Next time, let’s go out together, the five of us. It’s better to have each other’s support."
"Yeah, yeah, I can protect you all!"
Tai Bai patted her chest in assurance, as the youngest, she always liked proving her own strength. Yet, her usual sparring partners were only the Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood, and she was no match for Qing Nu or Lin Yun, which naturally made her wary to challenge them. Among the remaining two sisters, one was too hard to be bothered by her antics; she was indolent and presented no challenge at all.
Only the Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood would play with her.
Yet, against the Gold-Defeating Constructing Wood, Tai Bai held a bit of an upper hand due to attribute suppression, but fortunately, the Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood wasn’t weak, and their fights usually ended in a draw.
Tai Bai was quite satisfied, believing herself to be extremely powerful.
Just like that tendril just now, she was the quickest to react with a swift strike of her sword to end the battle decisively.
Qing Nu’s suggestion wasn’t bad, but thinking of the endlessly regenerating tendrils and the vast expanse of Sinful Blood, Lin Yun shook his head firmly.
"We still haven’t figured out the enemy’s true strength, it’s not advisable for all of us to move out. Let me be the one to go. You all stay here and support me from this side!"
This reasoning made sense, and no one objected, except for the Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood, who spoke in a coquettish tone, "Brother Yun, just take me with you, I can make you feel very comfortable!"
