132: Escape

Deep within the Demon Kingdom, at the edge of a chaotic energy storm.

Lin Jingyu's two-meter-tall, burly frame hovered within a relatively stable spatial fold. His muscles were knotted like ancient bronze divine iron, and several deep-to-the-bone wounds were writhing and healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, while pale golden Qi and blood steamed, emitting majestic vitality.

He closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his Sea of Consciousness.

The scenes of his battle with the three Domain Realm Demonic Lords flashed back in his mind—Manshan's giant demonic hammer that shattered space, Yingsha's death blade web that tore through the Void Realm, and Youpo's chilling Domain that froze the Soul...

Every attack contained the oppression, tearing, and even brief imprisonment of space!

"Space... it is not just the folding of distance..."

Lin Jingyu's heart stirred with realization, "It is also a barrier, a shackle, and it can also be transformed into wings of extreme speed!"

The spatial folding insights brought by the Major Achievement Realm of the Movement Technique, under the pressure of life-and-death combat and the deduction of the sixth-level Dharma Image Primordial Chaos Divine Demon Diagram, were forcibly pushed to a higher level!

Countless fragmented insights regarding spatial teleportation, traversing, and even forcibly opening temporary passages, like boiling magma, collided and fused frantically in the furnace of his will!

Boom!

A mysterious spatial fluctuation uncontrollably radiated from his body, causing tiny ripples in the already turbulent space around him.

"Now!" Lin Jingyu suddenly opened his eyes, and scenes of stars shattering and the Void Realm opening seemed to flash and vanish in his pupils! He issued an instruction to the System without hesitation:

"System! Deduce and evolve 'Movement Technique'! Consume all insights, target—Great Void Teleportation!"

[Instruction confirmed! Integrating host's spatial insights and Cultivation Technique Origin! 'Movement Technique' (Major Achievement) → Deduction and evolution initiated!]

[Deducing... Deduction complete! Acquired: Great Void Teleportation (Minor Achievement)!]

[Infusion beginning! Fusing...]

Hum—!!!

An intense silver-white spatial brilliance suddenly erupted from Lin Jingyu's body surface!

The space around him was like a lake surface into which a giant rock had been thrown, shaking and twisting violently!

It was no longer simple folding; it was as if it had gained life, actively gathering towards him and submitting to him!

He felt as if he had become a part of space itself!

Wherever his mind reached, the space in front was no longer an obstacle, but "shortcuts" that he could step on at will or even forcibly open!

"Success!" Lin Jingyu's eyes exploded with a sharp glint! The newly comprehended spatial power filled his entire body!

Just at this moment—

"Found you! Human bug!!"

A roar filled with malice and rage tore through the Devilish Qi, sounding like a thunderclap!

Three terrifying demonic auras instantly locked onto this area!

It was Manshan, Yingsha, and Youpo! The three Demon Kingdom Dominators had tracked the spatial fluctuations and were hunting him down again!

The Fragmentation Prison Demonic Lord Manshan's massive lava demonic body tore through the demonic mist, the Star-Shattering Demonic Hammer burning with dark red demonic flames that incinerated the Void Realm, crashing down from tens of miles away!

Before the hammer shadow arrived, the terrifying gravity Domain had already pressed down, attempting to pin Lin Jingyu to the spot!

The Thousand-Blade Demonic Lord Yingsha waved its eight arms, three of which were broken and dripping with demonic blood, but the remaining five blade arms transformed into five jet-black lines that tore through space, arriving later but striking first, aiming directly for Lin Jingyu's vital points!

The speed was even faster than before!

The Soul-Devouring Ghost Mother Youpo transformed into a miserable green ghost cloud that blotted out the sky, countless vengeful Souls screeching within it, forming a huge "vengeful Soul net" that sealed the space, covering him from above! The chilling, Soul-eroding power permeated, delaying spatial movement!

The three Dominators struck in fury, their Domains overlapping, all their lethal moves unleashed! They were determined to completely crush this human who had destroyed their node, killed their colleagues, and toyed with them!

Facing this lethal situation, Lin Jingyu not only showed no fear, but instead revealed a trace of cold mockery.

"Only coming now? Too late!"

He did not move his body, only shifted his mind slightly.

Hum!

The silver-white spatial radiance on his body surface suddenly became incomparably dazzling!

His entire person seemed to instantly become illusory and transparent, merging into the surrounding violent space!

Manshan's gravity Domain crushed down, but it was like hitting an invisible, slippery barrier; the power was strangely dispersed and guided to the surroundings, unable to truly lock onto Lin Jingyu's actual body.

Yingsha's five death blade lines that tore through space arrived in an instant, but the moment they touched the silver light on Lin Jingyu's body, it was like cutting into layers upon layers of rotating spatial vortices!

The blade edges were forcibly diverted by an irresistible force of spatial teleportation, narrowly grazing past Lin Jingyu's body, silently slicing a huge demonic rock mountain behind him into countless fragments!

The vengeful Soul net covered by Youpo was even more like scooping at the moon in the water; although it completely covered the space where Lin Jingyu was, it only scooped up a rippling silver-white spatial ripple!

Lin Jingyu's figure appeared and disappeared within it, as if he were close at hand, yet as if he were separated by an endless Void Realm!

"What?!" The three Dominators were shocked simultaneously!

They felt as if they were not attacking a physical entity, but attacking a chaotic, slippery, constantly self-repairing space itself!

All attacks fell into empty space!

"Spatial Divine Ability?! How could he have mastered it to such a profound level?!" Youpo let out an incredulous screech.

"Playing gods and ghosts! Come out!" Manshan roared in fury, the Star-Shattering Demonic Hammer waving frantically, smashing the surrounding space into pieces, demonic flames soaring, yet it still could not touch Lin Jingyu's true body.

"Great Void Teleportation... So that's it!" Lin Jingyu, located in the center of the spatial ripples, felt the unprecedentedly close connection between himself and space, and his heart was incomparably refreshed.

The Minor Achievement of Great Void Teleportation gave him the initial ability to "teleport," "dodge," and even create "spatial illusions" within space, rather than just folding straight distances!

He watched the three Dominators outside attacking frantically like headless flies, yet in vain, and a cold arc hooked at the corner of his mouth.

"I won't play with you anymore."

He moved his mind again, and his whole person completely merged into the silver-white spatial radiance!

"Void Teleportation, escape!"

Swish—!!!

His figure was wiped away as if by an invisible giant spatial hand, disappearing from the spot instantly!

There was no earth-shattering momentum, only an imperceptible spatial ripple, which spread rapidly like water waves, instantly sweeping past Manshan, Yingsha, and Youpo!

The three Dominators' attacks stopped abruptly!

Their massive demonic bodies stiffened on the spot, as if they had been cast with a freezing spell!

The Domains were still there, the power was still surging, but they had lost their target!

They had completely and cleanly lost Lin Jingyu's aura and traces!

The spreading spatial ripple seemed to carry mockery, gently brushing past their hideous faces.

"Dis... disappeared?!" Manshan's giant cow eyes widened round, the demonic hammer hanging in mid-air, unable to believe it.

"Impossible! My vengeful Soul net locked the space! How could he escape without a sound?!" Youpo's twisted ghost shadow fluctuated violently, letting out a hysterical scream.

Yingsha's remaining five blade arms stiffened, its compound eyes filled with suspicion and a trace of... lingering fear.

This human's methods were too strange and unfathomable!

Their Divine Thought swept through every inch of space and every wisp of Devilish Qi within hundreds of miles like a violent tide!

However, nothing was found! It was as if Lin Jingyu had never appeared!

At the boundary between the Imperial Capital's underground Demon Kingdom and the surface, in front of a hidden stone wall covered in runes.

Space flowed and parted like mercury, and Lin Jingyu's burly figure stepped out from it, landing steadily on the ground.

The silver-white radiance on his body slowly receded, and his face was slightly pale, but his eyes were as bright as stars, filled with excitement.

"Great Void Teleportation... It has such wonders even at Minor Achievement!" He felt the significant consumption of power in his body, but his heart was incomparably satisfied.

This newly comprehended spatial Divine Ability would become one of his greatest reliances for roaming freely and advancing or retreating at will in the future!

He looked back at the deep, Devilish Qi-churning passage behind him, where the earth-shattering roars of the three Dominators, furious to the extreme yet helpless, could be faintly heard, shaking the entire underground space until it trembled.

"Incompetent rage." Lin Jingyu coldly spat out these four words, ignoring them further.

He turned around and pressed his palm against the thick, rune-covered stone wall. This was one of the Seal nodes established by the Demon Suppression Division.

Hum!

The blood fiend division master token appeared in his hand, a flash of blood light on the token shot out a rune, which submerged into the stone wall.

Silently, the solid stone wall rippled like water, opening a gap only large enough for one person to pass through. Outside was the familiar air of the Imperial Capital's surface, which, although thin, was no longer filled with erosive Devilish Qi.

Lin Jingyu stepped out, and his figure disappeared into the gap. The stone wall quickly returned to its original state behind him, isolating the roars and chaos of the underground Demon Kingdom.

Imperial Capital, Demon Suppression Division Headquarters, Earth Fiend Hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was heavy. The Demon Suppression Division deputy commander, "Iron-Faced Judge" Wei Wuya, was frowning as he listened to the reports of several division masters under his command.

Suddenly, a specially made communication jade talisman on his waist erupted with dazzling blood light!

"Huh?!"

Wei Wuya stood up abruptly, a look of extreme shock appearing on his face for the first time! "Emergency return signal from the blood fiend division master token?! Is it Lin Jingyu?! He is still alive?!"

All the division masters in the hall were instantly in an uproar!

That fierce star who had broken into the core of the Demon Kingdom alone, judged by them to have a nine-in-ten chance of death or even certain death... had actually returned?!
