Lin Yu stared, dumbfounded.
He mentally grumbled, wondering if this guy’s personality was truly twisted.
Each permanent clone had a different personality.
For instance, the body-snatching clone was an excellent actor, while Lin Fan was easily fooled. The demon clone, Lin Yun, likely had his personality influenced by cross-dressing.
He was a cross-dresser.
"Big Brother!" a soft, yet slightly lazy voice called out from the side.
Lin Yu turned his head and smiled, "Lin Yun, why did you choose to become a woman?"
He didn't quite understand.
He, Lin Yu, was such an upright person. How could he have a cross-dressing clone?
This was impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Lin Yun smiled enchantingly, "Big Brother, I do have this preference. If you dislike it, I can change to a more innocent form."
"Alright, alright, don't change. You've merged now, your strength has surged. Go deal with the bugs yourself," Lin Yu waved his hand, feeling utterly exhausted.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yun's face lit up with joy.
"Heh heh, you're truly my good Big Brother. I'm off!"
The next moment.
He leaped downwards.
As he fell, he casually swung the whip in his hand.
Then, his gaze sharpened, and he snorted, "Die, you b****!"
Boom!
A whip projection, larger than the entire valley, suddenly coiled around it.
"I'm in a good mood today, or else I'd have shattered this valley with a single lash."
"Today, I'll take my time!"
He then used his whip to forcibly tear the valley from the ground.
Rumble!
Constant rumbling sounds echoed.
The earth shook, the sky thundered, creating a scene of apocalyptic destruction.
Uprooting a colossal valley from the ground caused immense impact.
"Come here!"
With a mighty heave, the valley separated from the ground and was pulled into the air.
Then, with a wave of his hand, streaks of black flames enveloped the valley.
Bang!
After a deafening explosion, the entire valley was refined into ashes by him.
As the wind blew, the ashes scattered.
Lin Yu watched this scene, his eyes wide with astonishment, and clicked his tongue in his mind.
Lin Yun's temperament was truly fierce!
At this moment, Lin Yun walked over with a smile. However, his merged appearance was truly something Lin Yu couldn't bear to look at directly.
"You burned the entire valley. How are we supposed to find the source of the bugs now?" Lin Yu said with a pout.
"Heh heh, Big Brother, look what I have!" He opened his palm, and a crystal, clear and translucent, lay quietly in his hand.
Lin Yu's heart stirred, and he silently commanded, "System, scan it."
"Ding, scan complete!"
The next moment, streaks of glowing white text appeared before Lin Yu's eyes.
Soul Crystal (Insectoid): A special crystal formed by the compressed souls of countless dying insectoids. This crystal has miraculous effects; consuming it can enhance soul power, and it can also be used to track down other living insectoids of the same kind.
"Big Brother, with this, as long as you're willing to spend time, you can gradually find the source of these bugs," Lin Yun said.
Lin Yu nodded.
He understood how to use it.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you."
"I will absolutely not let Big Brother down!"
...
Lin Yu performed a few more displacement skills and returned to the Void Land.
"At our speed, it will take several years to reach our destination. Give it your all!"
"Yes!"
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, all the clones vanished from their positions.
If anyone were to witness this, they would be utterly shocked.
Countless streaks of light flashed across the Void Land, all heading in the same direction.
...
Meanwhile.
In the Underworld.
The Lord of Reincarnation held the Book of Life and Death and said solemnly, "Now, almost all the void has merged with Blue Star and our Underworld."
"As the saying goes, there can't be two suns in the sky, nor two rulers in a kingdom. Only one of our Underworld and Blue Star can exist!"
"Therefore, I declare, today, we will attack Blue Star!"
As his words fell, everyone was stunned.
They were all well aware of how powerful Blue Star was now.
Not to mention Lin Yu's countless clones, even among Da Luo Golden Immortals, their Underworld only had a tenth of Blue Star's number.
Furthermore, Blue Star had evolved into the Primordial Realm. Even if they occupied the Nine Rings, as long as Blue Star remained intact, they wouldn't have truly won.
And they had no idea how they could defeat Blue Star.
The Lord of Hell and Ming Kun exchanged a secret glance, a look of worry appearing on their faces.
They naturally knew that the Underworld was no match for Blue Star, but the Lord of Reincarnation before them was brimming with confidence, as if he had an assured victory in this battle.
This made them vigilant.
Perhaps, the Lord of Reincarnation's trump card was more than just the Book of Life and Death.
"My decision is made! Prepare for battle immediately!"
As soon as someone stood up to object, they immediately felt the world spin and transform into a streak of light, flying towards the Wheel of Reincarnation to be reborn.
Seeing this, who dared to voice any further dissent?
"We obey!"
...
At this moment.
Lin Yu was still walking in the Void Land.
His speed had increased slightly, and he estimated it would take him three years to reach the domain wall.
However, upon receiving the news from Ming Kun and the Lord of Hell, his brow furrowed.
"Big Brother, what's wrong?" a clone asked.
Lin Yu said, "The Lord of Reincarnation has started a war, targeting the void of our Blue Star."
This clone replied, "Big Brother, he intends to occupy Blue Star's void. Once the two Nine Rings merge, who knows what will happen."
Lin Yu snorted, "We'll meet them as they come. By the time they're ready, several years will have passed, and we'll have enough time!"
"Increase our speed!"
"Yes!"
Their speed increased even further, as they were eager to reach the domain wall and see what its condition was.
They also wanted to find the source of that Bewitching Grand Dao.
And those bugs, they didn't seem to belong to this domain either.
...
Blue Star.
Lin Fan received Lin Yu's message and was slightly taken aback.
"That guy must have a hidden trump card. Although the Underworld's overt strength is far weaker, the Lord of Reincarnation is a figure from the previous era. Who knows how many hidden means he possesses? I must be cautious."
Immediately, he ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle.
A great war was imminent.
...
Demon Realm.
Lin Yun, holding the insectoid soul crystal, painstakingly searched for traces of the bugs.
He stopped before a large mountain.
"They used to reside here."
"However, they left a long time ago."
"They went this way!"
Along the way, he found many insectoid nests, but these bugs were not the source.
After killing them all, he continued his search.
In the blink of an eye, three years passed.
Suddenly.
He saw a void rift.
"Oh? I didn't expect there to be a Destiny-type demon in the Demon Realm. Capturing you will be a great achievement!"
A sharp voice, accompanied by an insect limb extending from the rift, rang out.
