……
Tia, who was standing nearby, quickly realized her own unfavorable situation.
There was no way to figure it out; the surrounding environment was suppressing her too much, forcing her to only unleash the power of a universe master.
She gave up struggling.
She had no choice but to give up. She knew all too well that if she could only unleash the peak strength of the fifth rank, she would be utterly crushed by the Yellow Heaven Lord before her.
Lin Hao wasn't in a hurry to have in-depth exchanges with the other party. The main reason was that he was a bit ambitious and wanted to try to take the path of divine power. So even though Tia was already the strongest in the universe, he could remain unmoved!
"You can stay here by yourself. Apart from the lack of freedom, everything else is fine. As a thank you for being my punching bag, I won't kill you. I'm leaving now."
Lin Hao left those words and prepared to return to the Cosmic Sea.
"No! I really mean you no harm. It's dangerous for you to go back to the Cosmic Sea right now..."
Tia was naturally unwilling to be trapped in the Chaos Ruins and wait to die, so she hurriedly said, "I promise I won't fight anymore, I'll just listen to you, as long as I can stay by your side!"
Lin Hao paused, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Tia: "Danger? You want to play delaying tactics with me?"
"No! No!"
Tia shook her head violently, her dark golden face full of seriousness. "You don't understand at all! Although I avoided your breakthrough to become the strongest in the universe, the commotion of my breakthrough couldn't be hidden from the other forces in the Cosmic Sea! Huang Tian, the news that you can assist strong people in their breakthroughs has probably already spread like a plague throughout the Cosmic Sea!"
"The spies from all the races... have been watching for a long time! Observing our battle is just a confirmation..."
The Chaos City Lord frowned and asked in a deep voice, "You mean... the rumor that Lin Hao can help others break through to become the strongest in the universe has already spread?"
Tia gritted her teeth and said, "After discovering the attraction of his special 'aura' to me, I've always wanted to bring him back! But I never expected that I would actually break through before I even got him! Now, everything is out of control!"
She looked intently at Lin Hao: "So, given the circumstances, it's really dangerous for you to go to the Cosmic Sea alone now!"
The nonchalant expression on Lin Hao's face finally disappeared.
He had only been in the Cosmic Sea for a short time. Although he was powerful, he lacked a direct understanding of the various forces within the Cosmic Sea.
After all, they don't have a virtual universe, so how could a rumor spread so quickly and so absurdly...
Tia's voice carried a hint of despair and lingering fear: "In the First Universe Era, especially for races like my Bemo, the Divine Eye, and the Skeleton, whose time was nearing its end, they would go crazy for any possible opportunity! Even a rumor was enough to make them come out in full force, let alone a 'real case' that someone had witnessed firsthand? In their eyes, you are a human treasure! You are the 'key' that can lead the race through reincarnation and even establish a holy land!"
"Now, once you leave the Chaos Ruins and set foot in the Cosmic Sea, they will swarm you like sharks smelling blood! The seven True Lords of the Divine Eye Clan, the Demon Lord of the Skeleton Clan, and even... the strongest beings of other races in your Primordial Universe will not let you go!"
"Lin Hao! Listen to me! Stay in Chaos City! Or at least stay in the human territory! Going back now is like walking into a trap! The universe is vast, but for you now, everywhere is a hunting ground, and you are the only prey! My previous invitation, though self-serving, was also a form of protection for you! Come back to the Bemo Clan with me, at least our clan can temporarily shield you from those greedy madmen outside!"
The Chaotic Ruins fell into a deathly silence.
The Lord of Chaos City had an extremely solemn expression. He knew that Tia's words were by no means alarmist.
Lin Hao remained silent for a few moments.
"Wow...that's exciting?"
Lin Hao clicked his tongue, his eyes suddenly brightening. "A bunch of the strongest beings in the universe are lining up to capture me and take me back? Tsk tsk, this treatment... sounds pretty cool, doesn't it?"
He waved his hand dismissively, completely ignoring Tia's pleas and the worry in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord: "Tia, is it? Thank you for reminding me."
"But...dodging?"
Lin Hao shook his head, his tone resolute, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I didn't work so hard to cultivate just to hide away."
Amidst Tia's despairing gaze and the Chaos City Lord's hesitant expression, Lin Hao's figure vanished completely.
Human settlement near the waters of Qingfengjie.
Lin Hao's figure reappeared beside Long Yu.
After comforting Longyu for a while, Lin Hao arrived near the waters they had previously been in.
The water flowed as before, but an unusual atmosphere permeated the air.
As his divine sense spread out, he could vaguely perceive some powerful thoughts in the distance, sweeping across the area like searchlights more frequently than ever before.
"Ah……"
Lin Hao snorted lightly, "You're pretty quick."
He neither dodged nor retreated, but walked straight towards the prying eyes.
Fight! Endless fighting!
Just as Tia said, the news of Lin Hao, this "humanoid treasure" and "secret to breakthrough," was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a boiling oil pan, instantly igniting the entire cosmic sea.
In a short period of time, people came to "visit" him like a swarm of locusts crossing a river.
Initially, they were mostly fourth- or fifth-order universe lords, who were testing the waters.
"Lord of the Yellow Heaven! Hand over the secret to that breakthrough!"
A cosmic ruler of the Bone Race brandished a bone staff, stirring up a whirlwind of death.
"Humph, so noisy!"
Lin Hao didn't even bother to use his fist intent, and simply slapped out with his backhand.
The terrifying vacuum passage reappeared, and the Skeleton Clan powerhouse, along with his domain, was torn apart and annihilated like paper, without even having time to scream.
Next, more top-tier fifth-order characters, and even those approaching sixth-order, emerged.
Boom boom boom boom—!
The waters of Qingfengjie have almost become a new popular spot for taking photos in the Cosmic Sea.
Lin Hao, like a tireless war god, roamed freely within it.
His domain had already been withdrawn—maintaining it under such intense attacks was pointless and a waste of divine power.
He abandoned his defensive stance and relied solely on his Void Armor to withstand the vast majority of attacks.
His figure transformed into a golden lightning bolt that tore everything apart in the water!
One punch!
A fifth-order universe lord from an ancient race of the First Universe Era was forced back a million miles, his divine body trembling, his eyes filled with horror.
It's not that no one has used powerful binding artifacts or soul attacks.
The moment the restraints were applied, Lin Hao unleashed terrifying divine power to forcefully break free.
As for the soul impact... to Lin Hao, it was like a gentle breeze.
"Come on! Didn't you want a secret!?"
In a split second, Lin Hao grabbed the weapon of a powerful member of the Divine Eye Clan with his backhand, and his divine power surged so violently that the man's tiger's mouth cracked open. Under the man's incredulous gaze, Lin Hao punched him in the chest.
"Bang-click!"
The defensive treasure on his chest shattered instantly!
The powerful member of the Divine Eye Clan groaned and coughed up blood, a hint of fear finally appearing in his eyes as he retreated rapidly: "His power... how can it be getting stronger and stronger?!"
This is not an illusion.
The intense pressure of the battle was like the most blazing furnace, rapidly forging Lin Hao's body, will, and ability to utilize power.
His aura, far from diminishing amidst the chaotic storm, became even more concentrated and sharp!
However, the root of the problem remained unresolved.
These cosmic rulers are merely pawns; the real threat has never truly appeared.
Those strongest beings in the universe, hidden behind the scenes, patiently wait for him to reveal a weakness or the best opportunity to strike.
Tia's warning kept echoing in his mind, but instead of instilling fear, it made his blood boil and his eyes shine even brighter.
"Want me? Then show me what you've got!"
Lin Hao blasted away another attacker, his gaze sweeping across the powerful thoughts lurking in the distant waters with a knife-like intensity.
An idea took shape in his mind—rather than wasting his time and energy in this body of water being swarmed by a constant stream of "flies," he might as well go to a "quieter" place, or at least... stir the water up even more!
Lin Hao suddenly looked up, as if he could penetrate the barrier of the endless waters and see the only gateway for newcomers to the cosmic sea—that violent celestial body that was tearing apart its membrane.
"Toya Black Hole..."
Lin Hao muttered to himself, a mischievous glint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
The environment there is special enough; it is the only way to enter the Cosmic Sea. It is easier to "clear the area" or "lure the snake out of its hole" there!
The next moment, Lin Hao stopped fighting.
His figure suddenly shrank, transforming into a golden light that was condensed to its extreme and soared to its limit!
"Don't even think about leaving!"
The two powerful figures who tried to intercept him had barely uttered a sound when they were violently smashed apart by the golden light with two loud "bangs!" and their remains exploded!
His actions immediately caused a huge uproar!
"He wants to escape back to the primordial universe!"
Countless thoughts surged wildly to every corner of the cosmic sea, notifying the hunters—the prey—hidden behind the scenes that they had changed course!
Chapter 163 The Hunt! The Fall of the Skeleton Lord!
Space was violently distorted, and the gravitational storm at the edge of the black hole's event horizon was like a monstrous beast that devoured its prey, tearing at the cosmic membrane and annihilating all matter and energy.
This is the only gateway to the cosmic sea—the Toya Black Hole.
Under the personal guidance of the Lord of Chaos City, Luo Feng, filled with excitement and caution, is preparing to step into this new world that symbolizes the path of the strong.
The Lord of Chaos City remained calm, about to speak and give instructions on precautions for entering the black hole.
Suddenly, the Lord of Chaos City frowned sharply, and an aura so heavy it was suffocating emanated from the direction of the Toya Black Hole, with terrifying pressure far exceeding the gravity of the black hole itself layer upon layer.
"Ok?"
Luo Feng followed the gaze of the Chaos City Lord, and even with his current state of mind, his pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints!
As far as the eye could see, the edge of the cosmic membrane outside the Toya black hole, a void that was usually empty, was now filled with more than a dozen figures radiating overwhelming power!
These figures come in various shapes and sizes, some as majestic as mountains, some as mysterious as the starry sky, some alluring and beautiful, and some cold and lifeless.
Each of them seemed to be the center of a universe; the mere dissipation of energy fluctuations caused the surrounding space to collapse inch by inch, and even the tearing force of black holes seemed to be slowed down.
"That...that is..."
