Ten thousand miles away from the human territory.
Here lies a desert, stretching endlessly for hundreds of thousands of miles.
Lin Yu had once fought a fierce battle against the Yaksha tribe in this place.
However, time has passed, and the traces of their past battles have now been buried by the wind and sand.
At this moment.
People continuously flew overhead, eventually landing before a temporarily constructed city.
This was a makeshift city built by the human race relying on technological power.
Although it could not withstand even the weakest of gods, within this city, both gods and god kings were remarkably well-behaved.
"First, reveal your identity, then swear upon the divine tablet that you will not cause any destruction!"
At the city gate, two clones of Lin Yu, disguised as guards, interrogated every visitor from other realms.
Among these visitors were incarnations of even god-king level beings, but none dared to utter a word of defiance when questioned by Lin Yu's clones.
This was because those who disobeyed had become ingredients for elixirs.
"This is my proof of identity, please take a look!" A visitor from another realm respectfully presented his identification.
Lin Yu's clone took the identification, which bore the grand seal of the Alliance of All Races.
After a quick inspection and confirmation of its authenticity, Lin Yu's clone waved his hand, "You may enter. Go to the divine tablet and swear your oath."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go over now," the person said deferentially.
A long queue had formed. One by one, visitors from other realms obediently followed.
After they had all entered the city, the two clones began to chat.
At this moment.
Lin Yu appeared at the empty city gate.
The two guarding clones immediately straightened up upon sensing the aura of their main body.
"Main body, why have you come?"
"Can't I come?"
"I was just afraid something might happen to you. What brings you here?"
"I think you're worried about yourself."
"Who told us to have self-awareness? Naturally, we have our own concerns. If something were to happen to you, we'd be finished."
Lin Yu chuckled, "Are you blaming me now~"
Lin Yu smiled and waved his hand, "I won't banter with you two. Give me the registration forms!"
Taking the registration forms handed over by his clones, he opened them and scanned through.
Suddenly, a person's information caught his eye.
Zhou Tao: From the Duling Great World, cultivation: God King. Main body has arrived!
"Duling Great World?" Lin Yu muttered to himself.
"This is the first time I've heard of this world. But with countless worlds among the heavens and myriad realms, it's impossible for me to know the names of all of them."
As soon as he finished speaking, his words elicited a grumble from his two clones: "Main body, we've recorded all the apparent worlds in the heavens."
The implication was that the Duling Great World was appearing in public view for the first time.
"A world that appears for the first time, and has never appeared in the records of other worlds. How did he obtain a pass?"
A pass required the seal of the Alliance of All Races, and the leader of the Alliance of All Races was a human elder.
Without his consent, it was impossible to get a seal.
He furrowed his brow and said, "Keep an eye on this person!"
After giving further instructions, Lin Yu entered the city.
The city was new and constructed with advanced technology. Although its structural integrity wasn't the strongest, it was incredibly comfortable to live in.
Entering the city, it was bustling and lively.
Lin Yu frowned and used the Heavenly Concealment technique, disappearing from sight.
Then, he employed spatial power to hide himself within the spatial rifts, observing the passing crowds through a thin veil of space.
"Where did that person go?"
Lin Yu searched for a long time but found himself unable to locate the individual.
Strange!
"Let's check out the auction house."
The auction house.
With everyone gathered, the auction officially began.
Lin Yu was bored of auctions and paid it no mind, instead searching for the person named Zhou Tao.
But that person seemed to have vanished into thin air; he couldn't be found no matter how hard Lin Yu looked.
At this moment.
At the very back of the auction hall, in a nondescript corner, a young man in a black robe, with a pair of bright eyes, stared intently at the treasures on the auction stage.
The auctioneer's voice echoed from above.
"Next, we will auction the first item: Jià Mù Líng Xū Zhuān!"
"This treasure..."
Before the auctioneer could finish, a fierce bidding war had already erupted below.
The young man in the corner stared intently at the treasure, muttering to himself, "This item is a treasure of the wood element and possesses powerful healing effects. If it can be transformed, it will become a formidable healing god!"
"However, no need to rush!"
He did not place a bid.
Others were bidding frantically, their faces flushed red with contention.
"Congratulations to Master Wúxīn from the Cán Shān Great World for acquiring the Jià Mù Líng Xū Zhuān. Master Wúxīn, you may collect your item after the auction concludes."
"Next, we begin the auction for the second item..."
One by one, treasures were auctioned, but what made Lin Yu frown was that the person named Zhou Tao still hadn't appeared.
Where on earth had he gone? Lin Yu was filled with doubt.
Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. The auction was drawing to a close.
"Bang!"
The auctioneer sharply struck the table with his small hammer.
"Alright, this auction has concluded. Everyone may now proceed to collect their purchased items."
As his words fell, the attendees began to depart.
Along the way, they altered their appearances, becoming completely different individuals.
Lin Yu turned his attention to those collecting their items, but still found nothing.
The person named Zhou Tao had seemingly disappeared into thin air.
"This is peculiar!"
"Although that divine tablet is merely a Golden Immortal artifact, it's not so easily circumvented."
"It seems the enemy this time is quite troublesome."
"I need to lie low!"
Lin Yu silently retreated, hiding in a concealed location.
At this moment.
In the wilderness.
After leaving the city, everyone headed towards their respective worlds.
They moved at lightning speed, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Just then, a scream suddenly pierced the air. An incarnation of a Buddha was intercepted by a black hole and swiftly devoured.
The black hole disappeared, revealing a figure.
This person was none other than the young man who had been sitting in the corner of the auction hall.
His face was expressionless as he muttered to himself, "This incarnation of Master Wúxīn's power is quite weak."
He let out a scoff and took the Jià Mù Líng Xū Zhuān.
"First one!" he whispered.
Then he disappeared, flying towards another person.
"Ah!"
Screams continued to ring out. In a short while, over a thousand people had met their demise.
This scene naturally attracted the attention of the remaining individuals.
However, due to mutual distrust and the presence of other bandits, no one paid attention to the young man.
At this time.
The young man robbed another person, obtaining another Divine King artifact.
Not long after he flew out, he was intercepted by several god-king incarnations.
After that, it was simple. The young man successfully counter-attacked and acquired the treasures that the bandits had looted.
Because of the young man's formidable combat prowess and his mastery of the black hole swallowing technique, he soon attracted Lin Yu's attention.
Lin Yu had previously searched the soul of the Black Sky God and knew that one of the Black Sky God's techniques was the manipulation of black holes.
"Heh heh, finally found you!"
"Clones, set up a net to catch him. Don't let him escape!"
