He sensed a great crisis and, forgetting about digging out the God Lord's heart, quickly released his grip on the scholar's neck and dodged aside.
Boom!
An axe light flashed between the golden-light man and the scholar.
The axe light flickered and disappeared again.
Lin Rong's integrated clone, Pangu, emerged from the void with a cold expression.
Green lotuses appeared beneath his feet, emitting a green light.
He chanted, "Spatial Displacement!"
Boom!
The location of the Xuanming Great World was instantly swapped with a chaotic void.
In the blink of an eye, they appeared in the void.
This void was boundless, with chaotic energy surging, but it was desolate all around, devoid of any worlds.
This place used to be quite lively, serving as a gathering place for worlds like the Demon Realm. Now, he had slaughtered all its inhabitants, and the worlds had merged into Blue Star.
This was why it had become desolate.
The scholar sighed, his face pale, and stood by the giant's side.
Lin Rong sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist, please stand further away."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, he was stunned.
This was a voice he was all too familiar with.
Recalling Lin Yu's other ability, he figured his brother must possess it too and suddenly understood.
"Fellow Daoist Lin's life-saving grace is unforgettable. Please allow me to participate in this battle. Rest assured, I won't be a burden!"
He was heavily injured but was still in the God Lord realm.
He could certainly participate in this battle, but the opponent was far too powerful for him.
"Very well, but please be careful, fellow Daoist."
Lin Rong gave a few admonishments and said no more.
This was originally the scholar's tribulation; it was only fitting for him to be involved.
At this moment.
The golden-light man's expression was grave.
He had only detected one God Lord, the scholar, and now another Grand Unity realm cultivator had appeared?
This world was strange!
He was naturally cautious.
A giant of unknown depth, and a scholar who, though weak and injured, possessed the power to harm him, forced him to be wary.
"Fellow Daoists, do we really need to fight?" he asked with a smile, feigning nonchalance.
Lin Rong's eyelids drooped, and he did not reply.
This person was very strong, far stronger than the scholar. He didn't know if his Pangu clone could win.
If he couldn't win, he could only self-destruct, hoping for a mutual demise.
"Perhaps I can win? My strength has increased a hundredfold in these past few months!" he thought to himself.
Although he lacked confidence, he was a clone and unafraid of death.
"Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?" Lin Rong asked loudly.
The golden-light man smiled and said, "This place is remote, so naturally, you haven't seen me. But do you know of heavens beyond heavens, and voids beyond voids?"
Voids beyond voids?
Lin Rong's heart stirred, and he probed, "Are you saying there are voids outside the Void of Nothingness?"
The Void of Nothingness surrounded the entire void. It was a desert of emptiness where even chaotic energy did not exist.
He had also explored the Void of Nothingness, but it was too vast. He walked for a month without finding an end, so he gave up.
He hadn't expected this person to come from other voids outside the Void of Nothingness.
It seemed that outside the Void of Nothingness were similar voids.
And this person before him, with his considerable strength and ability to traverse the Void of Nothingness, came from a formidable void.
Lin Yu, watching all this from the shadows, also felt his heart tighten.
If only this one person came, he wouldn't be afraid. But what if a late-stage Grand Unity realm cultivator appeared?
He would certainly be no match for them unless he could quickly break through to the peak of the God King realm.
Perhaps then, there would be a chance to win.
Because in the Grand Unity realm, the gap between each minor realm was even greater than the gap between major realms before.
"It seems I need to accelerate the pace of acquiring upgrade points!"
"And the Abyss, those tens of thousands of levels of worlds, I need to speed up and slaughter them all!"
"I can't wait any longer!"
He secretly transmitted a message to the Emotion Lord, ordering him to act immediately and unleash widespread slaughter.
Then, he gave the command to his possessed clone of the Immortal Buddha, ordering him to also initiate wars across all realms and conquer the Demon Realm.
This void was vast. Although he had dominated it, there were still countless Demon Realm-like worlds, even more than normal worlds.
If his guess was correct, these worlds were former outer ring worlds.
One must know that the outer ring worlds back then were much larger than the Nine Rings.
The Nine Rings were organized, while the outer rings were scattered.
It was the same now. The Demon Realm was scattered and no match for Lin Yu.
At this moment.
The golden-light man chuckled, his face filled with disdain.
It was like a city dweller looking down on a country bumpkin.
"Fellow Daoist, I observe the alchemical fire aura on you. You must be skilled in alchemy. I have a Grand Unity Alchemy technique that I can bestow upon you!" The golden-light man retracted his contemptuous gaze and said leisurely.
Hearing this.
Lin Rong's heart stirred.
"What are your conditions?" he asked.
The golden-light man pointed at the scholar and said, "I want his heart!"
Upon hearing this, the scholar's face turned pale, and he looked flustered.
What had he done to deserve this?
Someone from outside, who wanted his heart at the slightest provocation.
How unfortunate he was!
Lin Rong was also stunned.
He looked at the scholar, giving him a questioning look, asking if they had any enmity.
The scholar shook his head.
He didn't even know this guy, so how could they have any enmity?
Lin Rong saw this and said coldly, "He is my friend. Please find another bargaining chip, fellow Daoist."
Hearing this, the scholar breathed a sigh of relief.
He showed a look of gratitude.
The golden-light man said, "Very well!"
"But I want a Grand Unity heart!"
A Grand Unity heart, each Grand Unity realm cultivator had only one. Losing their heart would make it difficult for even a Grand Unity cultivator to survive, and even if they did, their strength would be greatly diminished and hard to recover.
Lin Rong appeared to be thinking.
This person wanted a Grand Unity heart, perhaps for some purpose, such as alchemy?
And he was precisely lacking in alchemy methods, searching desperately but in vain.
If he could obtain the Grand Unity level alchemy technique from this person, it would alleviate his urgent need.
However, could this person's words be trusted?
Could the words of someone from outside, who carried a sense of arrogance, be trusted?
Didn't they look down on you from the bottom of their hearts? Wouldn't you feel wronged doing business with them?
But Lin Rong didn't have the certainty of victory. What if he lost?
For the sake of caution, Lin Yu didn't want a conflict to erupt now, at least not until he became stronger.
For example, by breaking through a few minor realms.
He was currently in the early stage of the God King realm. Breaking through to the mid-stage of the God King realm would increase his strength by hundreds of times. With another synchronization, his strength would increase by several hundred times again. He should then be able to defeat the opponent.
If all else failed, he would break through to the peak of the God King realm.
He glanced at the upgrade points, which were almost enough.
Therefore, he would stall for time, complete the transaction first, obtain the alchemy technique, and then turn against him.
Lin Rong nodded and said, "Agreed!"
The scholar's face turned pale upon hearing this.
The golden-light man smiled and said, "Since fellow Daoist agrees, please hand this person over to me!"
Lin Rong shook his head and smiled, "Fellow Daoist wants a Grand Unity heart, not a God Lord's heart!"
"Hm?" The golden-light man's eyes narrowed, and a dangerous glint appeared.
Lin Rong shook his head and said, "The scholar is my friend. I will not harm my friend."
"You have a Grand Unity heart? Are you willing to sacrifice your own heart?" he said with feigned understanding.
This person couldn't be this foolish, could he?
Lin Rong smiled and said, "If I give you my heart, how can I possibly survive?"
He was not wrong. If Lin Rong sacrificed his heart, his strength would plummet, and the golden-light man wouldn't hesitate to kill Lin Rong.
However, he was disappointed. Lin Rong was an integrated clone, and his realm was only in the early stage of the God King. He had not grown a Grand Unity heart. This was the heart of a Grand Unity realm being, tied to one's cultivation realm.
"Hmph, stop playing coy!" the golden-light man snorted.
