In Lin Yu's eyes, streaks of ethereal blue light flickered.
At this moment, in his field of vision, the entire world had transformed.
He saw streams of Yin Qi coiling around his body. After a period of circling, they would extract a trace of his Yang Qi before departing the mansion.
Then, more Yin Qi would fly in from afar, continuing to absorb his Yang Qi.
This cycle repeated.
Although he felt a slight discomfort, the amount of Yang Qi being taken was so minuscule that he paid it no mind.
Only now did he realize that someone was plotting against him.
His expression immediately turned cold.
"Found you!" Lin Yu softly exclaimed.
With blue light flashing in his eyes, a path of Yin Qi appeared, and he stepped through space.
At this time.
In a region millions of miles away from Human territory.
There stood a black mountain, devoid of water and trees, a desolate expanse.
And above the black mountain, a colossal gate of space loomed.
This gate of space differed from those of other worlds.
While the gates of space in other worlds emitted a faint white light, this world's gate of space radiated black radiance.
The black light permeated an area of several hundred miles, engulfing the entire black mountain, obscuring sunlight and deterring the prying eyes of other beings.
At this moment.
Beneath the gate of space.
Lay a vast encampment. Within the central structure of the camp, two one-horned demons sat cross-legged.
One, a fanged demon with a mouth full of tusks, took a deep breath. A wisp of Yang Qi entered his body, and he smiled with satisfaction.
"Indeed, worthy of being Lin Yu of the Human race. This wisp of Yang Qi is equivalent to ten years of my cultivation."
The other demon, with blue skin, showed a hint of envy.
"Brother, will doing this attract the attention of Human race's Lin Yu? If he discovers us, we won't be able to stop him."
His worries were not unfounded, but the allure of Lin Yu's Yang Qi was too great.
Furthermore, he had been doing this for several days without Lin Yu seeking revenge.
Besides, living beings found it difficult to detect Yin Qi.
They had studied Lin Yu's abilities and found that he possessed no skills related to Yin Qi, making discovery highly unlikely.
Moreover, even if Yin Qi were detected, they might not be found.
They were millions of miles from Human territory and had employed multiple disguises, making them exceedingly difficult to locate.
The blue-skinned demon remained apprehensive.
"Brother, we've absorbed quite a bit of Lin Yu's Yang Qi. Let's return to our world and hide for a while?"
"You little fellow, why are you so timid? You clearly envy my absorption of Yang Qi, yet you refuse to act yourself. What a coward!"
The blue-skinned demon's expression shifted slightly at the remark, feeling displeased.
He snorted, "Elder brother, you are bold, and I am timid. Then I won't accompany you. I'm leaving."
Although he respected his elder brother, being mocked as a coward still angered him.
He turned and left, leaving the fanged demon sitting there with a scowl.
Staring at the entrance, he scoffed, "My dear brother, it's precisely your timidity that prevents you from breaking through to the level of a High God demon. Remember, fortune favors the bold. With your timidity, you'll be eliminated sooner or later."
As his words fell, he closed his eyes again, manipulating the Yin Qi.
Outside.
A flicker of worry crossed the blue-skinned demon's eyes, but thinking of his brother's recent taunt, he seethed inwardly.
He muttered, "Brother, it's not that I'm timid, it's that I'm cautious!"
With that, he turned and flew towards the gate of space.
He felt a strong sense of impending danger. He could not remain on Blue Star.
It was this powerful premonition that had saved him from death numerous times and allowed him to survive until now.
Shortly after he departed, space rippled slightly, and a young man with a cold expression descended.
The newcomer was none other than Lin Yu.
Lin Yu lowered his head slightly, scanning the area for a thousand miles, encompassing the entire encampment on the black mountain within his senses.
Then, he turned his gaze towards the source of the Yin Qi.
"Hmph, daring to absorb my Yang Qi, you've tired of living!" Lin Yu coldly snorted, and his figure vanished.
At this moment.
The fanged demon was savoring the absorbed Yang Qi, refining it with pleasure.
He murmured, "This is truly delicious Yang Qi. Compared to Lin Yu's, the Yang Qi of other beings is worlds apart. It not only enhances my cultivation talent but also increases my cultivation. Truly an incredible human."
"Heh, they say you humans are the strongest on Blue Star. In my eyes, you're just a name without substance."
"With my little trick, I can make you exhaust your Yang Qi and die without even realizing it."
"Lin Yu? He is merely a fish in a barrel, nothing more than sustenance for my growth!"
He sneered inwardly, holding Lin Yu in contempt.
In his mind, Lin Yu was nothing more than a common fowl, not worth mentioning.
Suddenly!
Darkness fell before him, and he felt a pang of confusion.
"What's happening? Brother, is that you?" he asked.
But in the next instant, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, trembling uncontrollably, unable to form complete sentences.
Lin Yu's imposing figure stood before the fanged demon, looking down at him.
"It was you absorbing my Yang Qi? How audacious!" Lin Yu said coldly.
As Lin Yu spoke, his powerful aura pressed down.
The fanged demon, only at the mid-stage of High God realm, could not withstand it.
With a thud.
He knelt on the ground, unable to lift his head, his forehead pressed against the earth in a posture of submission.
The fanged demon was inwardly terrified.
He felt as if his throat had been constricted, unable to speak or move. Within his heart was boundless fear, like a gaping maw of darkness, approaching to devour and chew him.
Terrifying!
Too terrifying!
Cold sweat poured down his body, yet he remained voiceless and immobile.
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, looking at him. "In the myriad realms, there are countless races and countless secret arts. You can control such Yin Qi. If I hadn't obtained a new talent, perhaps I wouldn't have discovered it."
"A mere ant dares to provoke the tiger?"
"Do you know the consequences of angering this lord?"
Suddenly, the fanged demon found his voice.
He stammered, "Lord Lin Yu, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please, don't kill me..."
He was terrified, trembling. All the mocking words he had spoken earlier were now cast aside.
The human before him was too strong, akin to facing a God King.
Lin Yu snorted, "Didn't you say I was nothing special?"
"My lord, those were careless words. In truth, I have only admiration for you!" He no longer knew what else to fabricate.
Lin Yu shook his head. "You've absorbed a significant amount of my Yang Qi. It would be inappropriate for me to let you off easily."
"My lord, I....."
"I'll give you a quick end, then....."
As his words fell, Lin Yu moved his mind, tearing the fanged demon's soul out.
The demon's soul, exposed to the air, trembled in fear.
"Soul Search Technique!"
With a soft hum, after a moment, his soul was searched.
Then, with another thought.
"Soul Refining Technique!"
Before his death, the fanged demon finally remembered his brother's warning, filled with regret.
In the next instant, his consciousness dissipated, and he died completely.
Lin Yu collected the three soul pearls that had been refined and stepped out, flying into the sky.
With a wave of his hand, the entire encampment turned into ruins.
Then, he returned to the central mansion.
