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

A burning gaze fell from those scarlet eyes in mid-air.

White smoke began to rise from Lin Yang's body.

Part of the skin and flesh was already steaming.

Yes, the heat emanating from those scarlet eyes was not just scorching, but also felt suffocating.

The internal organs, in particular, seemed to be placed in a steamer.

The temperature wasn't a domineering scorching heat that instantly burned a person to ashes, but rather like being steamed or boiled, making it even more torturous.

Lin Yang could clearly feel a part of his flesh and blood being gradually steamed under this temperature.

This feeling is a hundred times more painful than being instantly incinerated.

It's like a living person being slowly steamed; you can imagine how that feels.

"This power is too strange; it's completely impossible to resist."

Lin Yang felt a chill run down his spine and disregarded everything else, focusing all his power on the stage.

His current strength is no match for the power released by those scarlet eyes in mid-air.

The only thing that could offer some protection was the stage.

Manipulating the stage to fight against this force greatly depletes his own strength.

In the original plan, he did not need to fully manipulate the stage to resist the power of the scarlet eyes; he only needed to resist a portion and bear the rest himself.

But the current situation no longer allows him to conserve his energy.

He has to do everything he can to control the stage.

Otherwise, they would die right now.

However, even when he exerted all his strength, the power of those scarlet eyes could still steadily penetrate the stage and land on him.

"How can this monster be so strong?" Lin Yang said helplessly.

This crimson-eyed monster's power has clearly reached another level.

He tried his best but couldn't withstand the scorching power that was gradually seeping into his body.

"This guy... does he want to steam himself and eat him?"

Suddenly, a thought popped into Lin Yang's mind.

With the monster's power, killing him would have been a piece of cake, yet it slowly roasted his flesh and blood.

This made him think more.

"Sigh, well, at this point, I have no choice but to leave."

The next moment, Lin Yang sighed inwardly and decided to leave the Origin Void Ancient Domain first.

The plan has been disrupted by this monster. It's better to save our lives first. We'll contact Yueyou to discuss countermeasures once we get out.

Yueyou had previously given him a specially made jade talisman that could instantly teleport him out of the Origin Void Ancient Domain without having to return to the exit.

This was also something Yueyou had considered, so that he could use it to escape and save his life in case of extreme circumstances.

After all, as long as the green hills remain, there's always hope for a future.

If I die here, there will be no future for me.

However, Lin Yang soon discovered that he was unable to break free from the monster's power lock!
The specially made jade talisman Yueyou gave him was ineffective!
"This……"

Lin Yang's heart sank completely.

This was the first time Yueyou's methods had failed.

He was momentarily taken aback.

In his heart, Yueyou had always been omnipotent.

I've never failed once I've tried.

But now something has gone wrong.

"call……"

The next second, Lin Yang didn't have time to think and turned around to keep running.

Yueyou would never harm him. The only possibility that the jade talisman is now ineffective is that the monster's true power is stronger than Yueyou expected, or that it has some special means to isolate the talisman's effect.

At the same time, he also began to try to communicate with the "boundary".

The power of the [boundary] is also very mysterious; perhaps it can block some of the attacks.

In the original plan, [Jie] was to help him at the crucial moment of his breakthrough.

If he expends too much of the power of the [boundary] beforehand, his chances of success will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, using the power of the [Boundary] prematurely may trigger some additional unforeseen events.

Some of the strange things here also covet the power of the [Boundary].

But the situation was urgent, and he couldn't worry about what would happen next.

We need to save our lives first.

"Jie, release a small amount of your power first. Make sure you don't expose yourself by using your power!" Lin Yang communicated with him.

[Jie] was quite cooperative, seemingly aware of how dangerous his current situation was.

As he intended, a subtle power permeated and enveloped his body.

However, the power emanating from those scarlet eyes was simply inconceivable; the power of the [Boundary] only held out for a moment before being pierced through again.

"Ah, this..."

Lin Yang was speechless.

Although he didn't unleash much power from the [Boundary], it couldn't even last a few seconds...

He communicated again, wanting [the boundary] to increase its efforts.

"Buzzing."

Deep within the soul, the [boundary] trembled a few times.

Then Lin Yang felt a will coming from the [Boundary].

"If we increase our forces any further, I will be exposed!"

"This monster will eat us!"

Lin Yang fell silent.

Because he had already realized that even if the [Boundary] was fully exposed and activated all its current power, it would still be unable to do anything to this guy.

"Even you can't do it..." Lin Yang sighed, somewhat desperate.

The power of the [Boundary] is unique and powerful. It can even absorb some of the power of the great beings in the ancient ruins, but it still can't do anything to this thing.

"Om."

The boundary trembled again, and another will emanated from it:
"My power is not yet complete!"

Lin Yang sighed silently and said nothing more.

[Boundary] is indeed not at its peak right now, and seems to be lacking some key forces.

He stopped [the boundary] from releasing its power.

Even if we release all of them, it won't stop this monster-like thing; on the contrary, it might even trigger the monster to erupt.

It would be better to preserve our strength.

As for the system...

This guy has been silent ever since he entered the Origin Void Ancient Domain.

There's no hope of relying on them now.

"Am I destined to die here?"

Lin Yang gave a wry smile and continued to channel his dwindling energy into the stage.

He won't give up until the very last second.

The monster didn't kill him directly; that was an opportunity.

If we persevere a little longer, things might turn around.

But a turning point...

He sensed his surroundings.

I hope to find another being similar to Yiling.

That kind of thing likes to possess people; perhaps it can help resist the power of those scarlet eyes.

The frustrating thing is that when he ventured deeper into this place not long ago, all those indescribable things that had been trying to possess him had now disappeared.

"Are these ghostly things also afraid of that guy in the sky?"

Lin Yang felt a little powerless.

Even when we were deep in the abyss, we could still see a glimmer of hope.

But right now, there's absolutely no hope in sight.

All their trump cards and all their methods were utterly useless against the absolute power of this scarlet-eyed monster.

This guy seemed to be the ruler of the depths of this ancient Origin Void Domain.

He is the absolute king!
It displayed its power unabashedly in mid-air, so much so that even those indescribable ghosts dared not come out.

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

Some of the skin and flesh on his body sizzled from the steam, and some oil oozed out.

Lin Yang began to feel the water in his body being lost rapidly.

The skin began to crack inch by inch.

My blood started to boil, as if it were about to be cooked.

The bones were in excruciating pain, as if they were melting, and could no longer support the flesh and skin of the body.

My legs, in particular, started to feel weak in waves.

It's like the bones have softened and been pulled out, making it difficult to support the body to stand and walk.

The excruciating pain was almost unbearable for Lin Yang.

"If things continue like this, even if we manage to survive, there will be no hope of breaking through."

Lin Yang's vision began to blur, and his consciousness became hazy. He couldn't help but murmur something.

"Pfft..."

The next instant, his leg bones completely softened, and he could no longer support his upper body, collapsing straight down.

Lin Yang felt a crimson glow before his eyes, and the enormous eye in mid-air seemed to appear before him in an instant.

"laugh!"

A flash of red light landed on the stage.

The stage, having lost its support, collapsed in front of Lin Yang.

At this point, his entire body was completely exposed to the gaze of those scarlet eyes.

There was no sound, and no movement.

Lin Yang instantly felt an invisible force pressing down on him through those scarlet eyes.

The feeling this power brings is indescribable.

It wasn't an intense pressure, nor did it suffocate him; rather, it was an indescribable feeling.

It's like a sense of looking down from a different level of life.

It seemed that this monster was in a completely different, higher level of life.

Even without deliberately releasing any pressure, it can make those at a lower level of life feel submission and fear from the depths of their souls.

Or, to put it another way, it's like a ferocious beast, or more accurately, a beast with extremely high cultivation, passing by an ordinary ant. Even if the beast doesn't do anything to the ordinary ant, just a casual glance from it might be enough to completely destroy that ordinary ant.

It's not just a physical breakdown, but a breakdown of the soul.

Lin Yang is currently in a similar situation.

This scarlet-eyed monster seemed to have crushed him on a life-level level.

Even if they didn't do anything more to him, as he felt the gaze getting closer, his body began to break down little by little.

My consciousness became even more blurred.

He didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

He closed his eyes and became drowsy.

Surprisingly, even though he knew he was going to die, he didn't feel the sensation of death that he usually experienced when facing death.

Instead, it seems more like a state of perpetual silence.

It may not be death, but a state that is more indescribable and more terrifying.

Suddenly, in his hazy consciousness, Lin Yang heard a faint voice:

"Come here. If you come here, I can help you." Lin Yang suddenly snapped out of his daze and instinctively tried to open his eyes, but he couldn't.

But he recognized the voice; it was the same voice that had been calling to him and tempting him ever since he entered the Ancient Origin Domain.

He had resisted this call and temptation so much that his ears bled profusely and he was almost deaf.

This kind of voice has surprisingly resurfaced at this critical juncture.

And it's not the same kind of temptation as before; it's actually about helping him?!

He bit his tongue hard, trying to regain some clarity and consciousness, but found that even his teeth had softened considerably, and he could barely feel anything when he bit his tongue.

Fortunately, this interruption helped him regain some focus, but he still couldn't open his eyes.

Agreeing to this voice's request would be tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.

It's like making a deal with the devil.

But he had no other choice!

Agreeing to the past might lead to another dead end.

But if you disagree, you'll die right now!

This is not a multiple-choice question.

"I...am willing...to...go..."

Lin Yang closed his eyes and murmured something.

"make a deal!"

The faint sound became clearer.

Whether it was his imagination or not, Lin Yang sensed a hint of excitement in his voice.

This subtle sense of excitement sent a chill down his spine for no apparent reason.

He had a premonition that if it were in the past, the outcome would probably not be much better than it is now.

However, there is no turning back now.

He took a deep breath, gathering his strength, and wanted to ask what to do.

"You...come here...this is...the...route...according to..."

But before he could speak, he heard the other person's voice again.

At the same moment, he felt a slight tingling sensation in his head, as if the other party was about to transmit a message to him.

However, the other person's words were clearly not finished, but suddenly stopped.

The message that was about to be transmitted to him was also interrupted instantly.

At the same moment, he felt that the crimson color that had filled the world seemed to have become even redder.

It's no longer scarlet, it's more like...blood red!
Although he couldn't open his eyes yet, he could still vaguely sense the dazzling crimson color!
call……

A gentle breeze suddenly blew by, carrying a hint of coolness, causing him to shiver involuntarily, yet he also felt a strange sense of comfort.

It was as if the coolness brought by the breeze could nourish his injured body.

His body, under the gaze of those scarlet eyes, felt almost cooked through.

Although the coolness brought by this breeze was not great, it felt so comfortable to Lin Yang at this moment!
It's like a gentle breeze suddenly blowing when you're being scorched by the blazing sun on a hot summer day.

Comfortable!

It's indescribably comfortable!
It's even a bit cool!
"what……"

Lin Yang murmured softly, and his consciousness became more focused again.

His eyelids trembled slightly, as if he was about to open them.

He was thinking to himself that the guy he was making a deal with was indeed very strong.

It actually helped him!

woohoo hoo...

The wind picked up, blowing on him and bringing a greater sense of coolness, which made him feel even more comfortable.

His strength finally returned somewhat.

The hazy scene before my eyes began to become clear.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

What greeted the eye was a sea of ​​blood!
The whole world, the entire land, was blood red!

The red is blinding!

"Huh? That's..."

Lin Yang was suddenly startled.

It could even be described as astonishment.

Because he saw a sight he could never have imagined.

Amidst the crimson sky, a woman in a bright red theatrical costume stood in mid-air, facing those scarlet eyes. The crimson stains from her costume illuminated half the sky.

It was the same strange woman in red opera costume that he had encountered when he ventured deep into the Abyss Void Ancient Domain last time, the one who had forced him to sing opera for thousands of years!

Lin Yang was stunned for a moment.

He never imagined that the person who would save him would be this one!
Although, last time, the other party inexplicably gave him the stage and let him go.

But he never expected that this person would appear here to save him.

Because this strange woman in red theatrical costume is clearly a special being who cannot be communicated with.

It seems like they're just acting instinctively based on some kind of rule.

Giving him a stage was also due to the rules governing that.

He met the requirements of the rules in the final performance, which is why the stage was given to him.

And last time in the Underworld, Yueyou used the stage to bring this person over as well.

But that was just Yueyou using some rule of the stage to summon this strange woman who couldn't be communicated with.

Afterwards, Yueyou also said that even she couldn't communicate with him; the rules he followed couldn't be easily broken or changed.

Lin Yang never imagined that this strange woman in red costume would appear here and even help him!
This is even more surprising than the strange guy who contacted him earlier, offering to help him and make a deal with him!
Even though he had considered many possibilities, he never imagined it would be this one!

"This, this..."

For a moment, Lin Yang felt conflicted.

He glanced at the stage that had appeared in her hands, unsure whether it was because the stage had appeared there that she had been summoned.

Regardless, judging from the other party's current confrontation with those scarlet eyes, it seems they intend to protect him.

After a moment of silence, Lin Yang bowed deeply to him and said, "Thank you for saving me, senior! If you have any requests, I will do my utmost!"

Even if the other party cannot communicate, he should still show them the proper courtesy.

Although he couldn't stand up yet, he still managed to move his body with difficulty, bowed deeply, and performed a grand salute.

As expected, the other party did not give him any response.

The wind had picked up a bit, and the chill he could feel was stronger.

The sweltering heat on his body began to dissipate rapidly, and his skin and flesh began to regrow.

What he just felt was not an illusion.

This coolness did not just make him feel refreshed and comfortable; it truly nourished his body.

The previously softened leg bones began to gradually regain their hardness and strength.

The bones in other parts of the body are also recovering at the same time.

Not long after, he stood up again.

Then the wind stopped.

Although he had not fully recovered by then, Lin Yang immediately understood that the nourishment of his body had ended.

The other party has helped him regain his basic mobility; now he needs to recover on his own.

"I will never forget your great kindness, senior!" Lin Yang bowed deeply and then performed another grand ceremony.

The woman in the red costume still didn't respond to him; the stage suddenly grew larger.

Then, the woman in the red theatrical costume took a step and arrived at the center of the stage.

Standing on the stage, she seemed to be blessed by some kind of power.

The crimson color reflecting off half the sky became even more intense.

It made half the sky look like it was about to rain blood.

"Heaven doesn't allow people to live... but it teaches people to survive in this world..."

The familiar opera melody rang out, just like the first line of opera lyrics Lin Yang heard when he first saw the stage.

As the woman in red spoke, some kind of power spread from the stage, heading straight for the huge scarlet eye in mid-air.

hum!
In mid-air, a strange power surge appeared, pressing down on the stage.

There was no change in emotion in its scarlet eyes, as if neither the woman in red nor the recovered Lin Yang could stir any emotion in them.

It didn't seem angry or furious at all; it seemed to be acting out of instinct, retaliating against the woman in the red costume.

"Could it be that this monster also lacks complete consciousness?" Lin Yang couldn't help but wonder to himself.

With this conjecture in mind, he observed more carefully.

I also really want to see the full appearance of this monster.

However, a sudden gust of wind blew in, carrying his body backward.

In the blink of an eye, he had flown an unknown distance, and in the blink of an eye, he could no longer see the huge scarlet eyes in mid-air.

The blood-red figure of the woman in the red opera costume, which once filled half the sky, is no longer visible.

It was as if, in that instant, he had entered another world.

"What kind of power is this...?"

Lin Yang was somewhat shocked!

You should know that those scarlet eyes appearing in mid-air are visible no matter how far away they are.

But now, it's completely invisible!

Either he had already been blown out of the Origin Void Ancient Domain by that gale, or that gale had sent him to an incredibly distant place in an instant.

Only when it is unimaginably far away can one completely obscure those eyes reflecting the sky.

He looked around; it was pitch black.

Clearly, the current situation is the latter.

He was instantly transported to a very distant place.

"Just what kind of strength does that senior possess... to be able to send someone this far in an instant in this Origin Void Ancient Domain is practically the same as teleportation."

Lin Yang was truly shocked.

He couldn't even fly inside, but the other party just used a gust of wind to instantly send him a great distance away.

That's incredibly powerful!
Afterwards, Lin Yang stood there for a while, suppressing the various thoughts in his mind.

Although he didn't know why the other person had saved and helped him, now was not the time to think about that.

His injuries had not fully healed, and he needed to treat them as soon as possible and return to the place Yueyou had designated earlier.

Since he hadn't died, he naturally had to continue completing the mission.

However, after he readjusted the direction, he discovered that the gust of wind had carried him to a completely opposite location.

To get to the original destination, a long detour is required, which takes more than twice as long as before.

"Sigh..." Lin Yang couldn't help but sigh softly, then quickly regrouped and set off again.

It's a bit far, but he's still alive, and that's enough.

"Hopefully, nothing else goes wrong..."

Lin Yang silently prayed for a moment.

He wasn't afraid of the distance itself, but he was worried that, given the strange nature of this place deep within the Origin Void Ancient Domain, there might be some unknown trouble along the way.

He really didn't want to go through that experience again.

In particular, before the woman in red costume saved him, there was a strange entity that had contacted him, and he had even communicated with it and agreed to its conditions.

Although it seems the other party didn't keep their promise, he was suddenly saved by the woman in red costume, and it seems he no longer needs to fulfill his promise and go find her.

However, it is obviously impossible to reason with such a strange being. Perhaps in its view, since it has made a promise, it should keep it.

Lin Yang had no idea how the other party would treat him next.

Perhaps we'll pressure him, or perhaps we'll use other means to seduce him again.

The road ahead is difficult! (End of Chapter)
