Blue Star.
Above the Sea of Oblivion.
Lin Yu's clones were all killed, and the remaining energy, before dissipating, condensed into clouds and drifted away like smoke.
The area within sight turned into a hazy landscape.
A Buddha image held its hand on Lin Yu's neck, about to crush him. Lin Yu showed a look of relief.
But in the next moment, the Buddha image's hand froze.
Lin Yu looked on with curiosity, unsure what the Buddha image was playing at.
He tried to break free, only to find that although the Buddha image had stopped moving, the power that restrained him had not disappeared.
He was still unable to break free.
"Never mind, if I die, I die!" Lin Yu thought to himself.
The surrounding beings, witnessing this scene, suddenly understood.
"It seems those two existences have succeeded."
"Two beings of the same level descended upon Great Brahma Heaven. The Immortal Buddha would certainly show some respect."
"That's not necessarily true."
"Look, the Buddha image is moving!"
".........."
The beings stared intently and found that it had indeed moved.
The Buddha image spoke, "Immortal God King, Tonggu Immortal Emperor, you have trespassed upon Great Brahma Heaven. The karmic retribution for this will be repaid to you a hundredfold sooner or later."
The words caused a stir.
The beings were greatly shocked, looking at the Buddha image with surprise.
"He is so powerful?"
"One against two beings of the same level, terrifying!"
"Did those two powerhouses not return?"
".............."
At this moment.
The Immortal God King and Tonggu Immortal Emperor wore expressions of anger.
They had each returned to their worlds, sulking.
To launch a war over such a minor matter was impossible for them.
However, the animosity had been established.
This karmic debt would be repaid sooner or later, or their hearts would remain unsettled.
They were aware of some of the discussions about the beings of Blue Star, but as time passed, things gradually calmed down.
In Blue Star.
Lin Yu's neck was being choked.
The Buddha image's face turned red, and he roared, "I'll ask you one last time, do you concede?"
Lin Yu laughed heartily, "Kill me or dismember me, as you please!"
The beings watched this scene, greatly admiring Lin Yu.
Better to be shattered jade than intact tile; he was too resolute. This unwavering will in the face of death touched their hearts the most.
The world respected heroes, and undoubtedly, Lin Yu was a heroic figure in their hearts.
The Buddha image sneered, "Since that is the case, then die!"
He had given up. If Lin Yu would not surrender, it was better to kill him, which could also deter other realms and strengthen the faith of his followers.
Saying this, he tightened his grip, about to crush Lin Yu.
Suddenly, Lin Yu let out a tragic laugh, "Before I die, I will splash you with my blood!"
With that, the energy within Lin Yu condensed madly.
With a roar,
A mushroom cloud erupted.
The power of the self-detonation was immense, even blasting the Buddha image over a hundred thousand miles away.
After the self-detonation ended, this sea area turned into a dead zone, and countless sea creatures perished.
The Buddha image also suffered minor injuries, but was not greatly harmed.
He flew back from a distance. After confirming Lin Yu was dead, he left.
He glanced in the direction of the human race and said, "My Buddha is merciful, only punishing the ringleader. Human race of Blue Star, take care of yourselves!"
With that, he left Blue Star under the awestruck gaze of the beings.
Not long after he left, the sea area where Lin Yu had died became bustling with activity.
Countless beings from other realms arrived. They searched everywhere, hoping to find something valuable.
Unfortunately, after Lin Yu's self-detonation, almost nothing was left behind.
Even the creatures in the sea had all died. They left with nothing.
Shortly after they departed, news of Lin Yu's death spread rapidly.
First and foremost, the human race. When they received the news, they were all stunned.
"Impossible! Lin Yu was so powerful, how could he be dead? You must be lying to me, right?"
"I don't know if it's true or false, but this is what everyone is saying, and someone personally witnessed Lin Yu self-detonate!"
"We're finished. Lin Yu is dead, what will happen to us humans?"
"As expected, he shouldn't have provoked Great Brahma Heaven. Could we afford to provoke them?"
"Fortunately, the Immortal Buddha of Great Brahma Heaven is merciful and not pursuing our human race."
"Oh no, a group of demons has appeared from somewhere and is attacking our human race!"
"We're finished. The demons are too powerful, possessing divine realms, and there are over a hundred of them."
"Quick, quick, let's go inform the Cabinet."
"............"
The Cabinet.
Upon receiving the news, the people in the Cabinet felt as if the sky had fallen.
The Sword God had returned, and with him was Chi Yu, who had broken through to the Lower God realm.
However, what greeted them was the devastating news of Lin Yu's death.
This was unacceptable to both of them. Lin Yu, who was so monstrously powerful, Lin Yu, whose cultivation was as easy as drinking water, was dead?
This was impossible!
Their first reaction was disbelief.
But when they tried to contact Lin Yu, their calls went unanswered.
Some began to waver.
A look of grief appeared on the Sword God's face. "I don't believe he's dead. He's such a cautious person!"
The others shared the same sentiment, but the facts did not allow for doubt.
Elder Ge sighed, "Whether Lin Yu is dead or not, we cannot lose our composure. The Buddha image said before he left that Buddha is merciful and would not pursue the human race, but he had barely left when we were attacked by demons, and there were even traces of Asura among them."
"Are you suspecting a trick by this Immortal Buddha?" the Controller asked.
Elder Ge nodded. "To maintain his image, he naturally wouldn't slaughter the weak. But would he let our human race go? I don't believe he's not holding a grudge, otherwise, he wouldn't have repeatedly tried to kill Lin Yu. These demons must be related to him."
Chi Yu's expression turned cold. "Damn Immortal Buddha, I'll go kill those demons!"
The Sword God blocked his path and said, "What's the use of you going? Any one of those demons is stronger than you! Among everyone present, only I can complete this mission. I'll go!"
Elder Ge wanted to stop him, but the Sword God was too fast. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.
Elder Ge sighed, "Forget it, let him go. Without Lin Yu, we are nothing. Prepare yourselves, we would rather die fighting than surrender!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with sorrow, but they had long since cast aside thoughts of life and death. If they died, they died, what was there to fear?
"Elder Ge, please lead us into battle! We would rather die than surrender!"
Elder Ge laughed heartily, "Let's go, follow me to fight!"
With that, he left the Cabinet and headed towards the battlefield, with the others following.
........
On the coast.
A hazy phantom emerged.
The phantom condensed into a physical form.
The humanoid figure opened its eyes and looked down.
He chuckled, "System, the system didn't lie to me, I've revived!"
"Ding, the host is now starting from scratch, at Zero Tier. It is recommended to use permanent fused clones for reverse synchronization to enhance your foundation."
"Understood! System, with my remaining upgrade points, to what level can I upgrade in one go?"
"You can upgrade to High God!"
"Phew, let's begin. I need to return as soon as possible, otherwise the human race is in danger!"
