A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

At the same moment, [the boundary] suddenly left Lin Yang's soul and appeared outside.

Beyond the ancient ruins, hidden in the void, Yueyou's expression suddenly changed: "Not good!"

Something unexpected happened!

Almost without thinking, she waved her hand, and an invisible force instantly enveloped the sky, isolating a region and preventing the aura of the [Boundary] from spreading.

The interior of the ancient ruins also changed at the same instant.

The ancient ruins, which had been expanding wildly, stopped expanding the instant the [Boundary] appeared.

"……boundary?"

An ancient, deep voice then rang out.

There were doubts, surprises, and delights!

next moment.

A giant hand reached out from nowhere and grabbed at the boundary.

Lin Yang lay on the ground watching this scene, his heart pounding in his chest.

To be honest, when the [boundary] suddenly detached itself from him just now, he almost instinctively wanted to crush the jade token Yueyou had given him to escape.

However, he managed to hold back at the last moment.

Because he discovered that after the [Boundary] detached itself, the beings within the ancient ruins seemed to have completely ignored him.

Whether it's because Yueyou's methods are too powerful, or because of the [Boundary], he hasn't been directly exposed yet.

As the giant hand was about to grasp the [boundary], Lin Yang couldn't help but hold his breath.

He didn't know what would happen if [Jie] was captured; perhaps it would be taken away forever.

But he cannot reveal himself now, otherwise he himself will be in danger.

Moreover, Yueyou is definitely keeping a close eye on this place and probably won't easily allow the [Boundary] to be taken away by the old immortals within the ancient ruins.

All he needs to do now is keep himself out of the picture and avoid causing trouble for Yueyou.

hum.

In mid-air, just as the giant hand was about to grasp the [Boundary], the [Boundary] suddenly trembled, and a strange fluctuation burst forth from the ball of light, actually breaking free from the giant hand and appearing tens of thousands of miles away in an instant.

"interesting."

The ancient, deep voice chuckled softly and reached out again.

However, [Jie] seemed to be playing a chase game with this giant hand, breaking free just as the giant hand was about to grab it, while simultaneously absorbing its power.

After this back-and-forth exchange more than ten times, the giant hand seemed to lose patience. Its entire palm suddenly grew countless times larger, blotting out the sky and covering the entire world, heading towards the [Boundary].

The boundary erupted with violent power fluctuations, its halo flashing and its light increasing dramatically, as if it wanted to pierce through the sky-covering giant hand.

But under this massive hand, the light of the [Boundary] was gradually suppressed.

In a very short time, the light of the [Boundary] dimmed to the point of being almost invisible.

It looked like he was about to be completely seized by a large hand.

Lin Yang still hadn't seen Yue You make a move.

This puzzled him.

"Is it because you want to protect yourself from being discovered and therefore cannot take action?"

Lin Yang couldn't help but think to himself.

To be able to send him in right under the nose of that old fogey of the ancient ruins without being discovered, Yue You must have put in a lot of effort.

Given the sudden change in the [Boundary], Yueyou is probably doing everything he can to ensure his safety.

Although the [boundary] is about to be taken away, compared to his own life, it doesn't matter if it is taken away temporarily.

We'll find another opportunity to get it back later.

Seeing the [Boundary] completely grasped by the giant hand, Lin Yang sighed inwardly.

This plan has completely failed.

And it was a crushing defeat!

Even the boundary has been taken away.

However, just as the giant hand grasped the [Boundary] and was about to take it away, the [Boundary] suddenly burst forth with an even more dazzling light.

In that instant, the [Boundary] seemed to turn into a black hole, frantically absorbing all the power within the ancient ruins' domain.

This scene seemed to pause even the movements of the large hand.

Immediately, a deep voice sounded again: "Interesting. Do you want to absorb my power to rebel against me?"

[Jie] remained silent, but absorbed the energy even more rapidly.

Lin Yang could even feel a torrent of power being forcibly absorbed from within the ancient ruins by the [Boundary].

"Hehe, little guy, don't try to resist. Now that you're here, you're destined to belong to me!"

"No matter how much power you absorb, it's useless."

A deep voice echoed, and the large hand fell again.

Swish!
[Boundary] This time, it didn't let the giant hand grab it, nor did it dodge to another place. Instead, it shot towards Lin Yang's position.

"I go……"

Lin Yang was dumbfounded again.

[Jie] What on earth is this guy doing?!

They won't stop until they've killed him!

"Don't..."

Lin Yang tried to communicate and stop it, but before he could utter a word, the [Boundary] had already transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the depths of his soul.

The next second, a surge of power erupted from the [boundary] and fed back to him.

The feedback was extremely strong.

In the past, whenever the [boundary] fed him power, it was as gentle as a babbling brook.

At this moment, the force of the [Realm]'s feedback to him was as turbulent as a vast ocean.

They are completely incomparable.

This made it impossible for Lin Yang to remain hidden any longer.

The fluctuation of power made him the most conspicuous presence among the corpses.

Of course, even if the [Realm] didn't give him such a powerful feedback right now, he wouldn't be able to keep hiding it any longer.

Based on the fact that the [Boundary] had just entered his body, he had already been discovered.

In an instant.

Lin Yang felt a terrifying force instantly lock onto him and simultaneously suppress the space around him.

"Snapped."

Lin Yang crushed the jade tablet in his hand without hesitation, but there was no reaction.

"So it was you, you little thing. I was wondering why this treasure of the Realm suddenly appeared here out of nowhere. It turns out it was you who was causing trouble."

The voice, which was originally deep, was now icy cold.

A somewhat ethereal figure appeared in front of Lin Yang as the voice faded.

This figure was clearly just a projection of power, not the real body.

Despite this, Lin Yang still felt terrifying pressure.

He had no doubt that even if what was in front of him was just a projection of power, it would only take a breath for the other party to kill him.

"The ancient immortals within the ruins are actually this terrifying..."

Lin Yang was horrified.

It should be noted that at this point, he was already infinitely close to the ancient realm.

They often encountered ancient realms, such as the Lord of Yanhuo Palace and Yueyou.

But none of them felt this terrifying pressure from them.

Of course, this was mainly because he was not an enemy of the Lord of the Flame Fire Palace and other palace masters, as well as Yue You, and they did not exert such pressure on him.

However, even from the body of that Yin Realm Great Venerable Yin Spirit, he did not feel such terrifying power pressure.

But now he felt such terrifying pressure from a projection of the power of the ancient immortal sleeping in the ancient ruins before him.

This left him utterly astonished!
This is amazing!
It's even scary!
Lin Yang found it difficult to describe this feeling for a moment.

It was as if we were facing a transcendent being on a completely different level of existence.

This is a very terrifying feeling.

Because he is not an ordinary cultivator!

He's almost at the ancient realm!

It can be said that he stands at the pinnacle of the cultivation world.

Even when I was weaker in the past, I never felt this terrifying when facing someone with a higher cultivation level than myself.

But right now...

Lin Yang felt as if his body was about to collapse after just one glance at the projection of this power.

"Hmph, you little thing, you've got some good fortune. You actually managed to get the treasure of the Realm and even make it work for you."

The projected power looked at Lin Yang, and without him making any move, Lin Yang's body floated up uncontrollably.

Immediately, he felt a powerful force of consciousness forcibly invading his soul. Clearly, this old codger was trying to find the existence of the [Boundary] within his soul.

In an instant, he felt as if his soul had been pierced.

It felt like my soul was broken.

Fortunately, it was just an illusion.

Because a force appeared at the crucial moment and protected his soul.

"Ok?"

The projection of power frowned noticeably, then looked up at the void above and said coldly, "Come out, I can sense the ancient aura emanating from you."

hum.

A surge of power arose, and Yueyou's figure emerged from the void, meeting his gaze.

Upon seeing Yueyou appear, a strange light flickered in the projection's eyes. After staring at Yueyou for a moment, it chuckled softly:
"This is getting more and more interesting. I never thought that in this later era, there would still be someone like you, who exudes the aura of the past."

As it spoke, the projection's gaze deepened, and an invisible force swept towards Yue You, filled with a probing intent:
"Your aura from the past feels extremely familiar to me, but it shouldn't and couldn't possibly exist in this later era. Who exactly are you? In my memory, there seems to be no one like you."

Yueyou said calmly, "Zhuanyu, we are not from the same era, so it's normal that you don't recognize me."

Hearing Yue You call out his name directly, the projection's eyes grew even colder: "It seems you know quite a bit about me. I suppose everything today was orchestrated by you."

“That’s right.” Yueyou did not deny it.

"Just now I was wondering how the Realm could appear out of nowhere. Since it was done by someone like you, it makes sense. Otherwise, how could such a weak junior from the later era dare to use the Realm to scheme?" Zhuanyu's projection scoffed.

He wasn't without doubts about the sudden appearance of [Jie], but he was simply too lazy to think about it.

Since the [boundary] has already appeared before him, he will no longer allow the [boundary] to escape.

Yueyou said calmly, "Unfortunately, the plan went slightly wrong."

"Hehe, you want to use the power of the Realm to seize the place where I slumber to fulfill this brat's wish. I must say, this plan is quite good. Only someone like you from the old days would dare to do such a thing. However, since I have already seen through it, the Realm must be left to me today no matter what." Zhuanyu's projection said in a low voice.

Yueyou remained calm: "The realm is not something I can give you. If you want to fight me now, you don't have much of a chance of winning unless you are willing to fully recover and bear the price. Otherwise, you should save your energy."

Zhuanyu's projection laughed: "You are also a person from the past. Although I don't know how you have been preserved so well in this later state, you should know what use the realm is to us. For the sake of the realm, revival is worthwhile and can be done at any cost!"

"Then let's fight." Yueyou didn't say anything more.

Because she clearly understood what the appearance of the [boundary] meant.

She glanced at Lin Yang, sighed, and transmitted her voice:
"Lin Yang, the exposure of the boundary has made things more serious than I expected. All sorts of old monsters will appear and will fight for the boundary at all costs. I may not be able to protect you anymore."

"Chaos is coming. I can only help you hold off this one time, and the outcome is uncertain. This time, our opponents may completely annihilate us, and there will be no future."

"If you can take one more step forward in the ancient realm, there might still be a glimmer of hope; if not..."

Yueyou didn't continue.

Lin Yang was shocked.

Although Yueyou's tone sounded relatively calm, it conveyed an unprecedented solemnity, even a sense of determination.

Since meeting Yueyou, Yueyou has always been calm and composed, seemingly in control of everything, no matter what situation she faces.

But to say such things now shows how serious the matter is.

huh, huh, huh...

A wind has risen between heaven and earth.

A sudden gust of wind whipped up a sandstorm.

Deep within the ancient ruins, an ancient aura gradually permeates the air, and a timeless power begins to rapidly awaken.

A tall figure slowly materialized from the void, transforming from nothingness into reality.

In just a moment, the figure solidified completely.

Zhuanyu has been revived.

He stood in mid-air, dressed in a long, dark robe.

The embroidered robe was adorned with streaks of gold, which shimmered in the light.

His face looked like that of an ordinary mortal in his fifties, with an imposing aura that commanded respect without anger. His temples were slightly gray, and he looked very dignified and had an indescribable air of nobility, much like a supreme emperor.

His demeanor and appearance, no matter how you look at it, exude an aura of righteousness.

At least, it looks much more righteous than that projection of power.

If someone were unaware of his true identity, they would never guess from his appearance that he is an old man who has been asleep for countless years and has slaughtered countless people!
"You really can't judge a book by its cover!"

Lin Yang thought to himself, "This is a bad omen."

They were also surprised by how quickly the other party recovered.

It recovered as soon as it was said.

This is a little different from what he expected.

He thought there would be a process involved.

After all, if the recovery comes at a great cost, then the recovery will inevitably be too fast.

But in reality, the recovery was so swift and seemingly frivolous.

However, he quickly realized what was happening.

This was not child's play; rather, it stemmed from some preconceived notions he had.

If people believe that recovery will come at a great cost, then the recovery process will be relatively slow.

However, in reality, for a powerhouse of this level, if the recovery process is really slow, then when encountering an enemy of the same level, they might be killed before they can even recover.

Therefore, the current speed of recovery is actually more in line with reality.

"Come, old friend of the past, let me see if you have truly found the way to perpetuity. If so, my resurrection this time will not have been in vain."

Zhuanyu's long black robe fluttered without wind, his gaze as deep as the starry sea as he looked towards Yueyou.

"Zhuanyu, this battle begins today. Only one side can survive. This is not a personal grudge, but a struggle for the Great Dao and a battle for humanity. Your revival alone is not enough."

Yueyou gazed intently at Zhuanyu, her body emanating a Daoist aura.

Zhuanyu smiled slightly: "You're so confident?"

"It's not confidence, but rather that I won't lose, and I can't afford to lose," Yue You said calmly.

Zhuanyu's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly glanced at Lin Yang, as if he understood something:
"Is this kid the seed you planted?"

Yueyou did not answer, but her aura began to rise rapidly.

"Very well, since that's the case, then I will kill this brat first!"

Zhuanyu snorted coldly, flicked his finger, and a force shot straight towards Lin Yang.

"Zhuanyu, your opponent is me now." Yueyou said indifferently, raising her hand and waving it, instantly annihilating Zhuanyu's attack.

A glint of malice flashed in Zhuanyu's eyes: "You cannot protect him. Once the cause and effect have begun, someone will kill this child in both the future and the past!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yang felt a chill run down his spine and a shiver run down his back, as if something was approaching him.

In the dim light, he saw a rushing river and a blurry figure wearing a bronze mask, swimming upstream and swinging a sword at him.

"This is……"

Lin Yang's pupils contracted, and without thinking, he instinctively stepped back.

boom!
However, the sword light was too fast, as if it had traveled through time and ignored distance, arriving in front of them in an instant.

"Lin Yang, close your eyes, don't look, don't think, don't sense!"

At the crucial moment, Yueyou's voice rang in my ears.

Lin Yang did as he was told.

Just as he closed his eyes, his last glimpse of the river revealed a new, equally indistinct figure emerging from the rushing water, locked in combat with the figure wearing the bronze mask.

At the same time, he heard a faint voice: This world will never be your playground!
boom!
The instant he completely closed his eyes and blocked his senses, Lin Yang felt as if his body had been hit hard by something, and his internal organs were in excruciating pain. Then he lost consciousness.

at the same time.

Several other ancient sites that were also expanding and reaping vitality also came to a halt at the same time.

They all seemed to have sensed something.

"Zhuanyu has actually revived? Who is that silver-haired woman? Why does she possess such an ancient aura, yet she is so powerful?"

"She is a person from the old days; it was she who forced the Zhuanyu to revive."

"No, there's also the power of time. Someone is trying to reverse time."

"It was that kid. That power of time was targeting him, but someone blocked it for him!"

"Someone wants to kill him across time and space. He's not even at the Ancient Realm yet. How could someone so weak attract such killing intent?"

"Quickly ask Zhuanyu what happened!"

"The area where Zhuanyu Shen is located has been sealed off, making it impossible to contact him, and someone is secretly making moves!"

"That silver-haired woman's power... no, it's ancient power, ancient magic. She wants to kill Zhuanyu!"

"Something terrible must have happened! Quick, we must also recover! If we don't recover, we won't be able to break through the power sealing off the area where Zhuanyu is located, and we won't be able to provide support. We can't let Zhuanyu die!"

"Alright, let's revive together. That silver-haired woman exudes an ancient aura, yet her power is so strong in the present world. She must have found a new path. If we can get the answer through this revival, then the revival will be worthwhile!"

The old folks inside the major ancient sites exchanged ideas for a moment and then reached a consensus.

Subsequently, a vast and ancient aura emanated from several ancient ruins.

Such a commotion instantly drew everyone's attention.

Panic has intensified and spread once again!
Ancient ruins are being revived!
This is terrifying!
