Chapter 99: Crisis, Lin Yu Injured

"Little Yu... you... how did it disappear?"

Chu Xi's beautiful eyes widened, and she subconsciously asked.

Due to her surprise, her words were a bit stuttered.

One must know, such a large creature could disappear without a trace, completely unnoticed by her.

In this vast and boundless starry sky, there indeed existed treasures capable of containing living beings, and some powerful individuals with heaven-shaking abilities even possessed their own inner worlds.

But Lin Yu, standing before her, in no way seemed like someone with such capabilities!

Hearing Chu Xi's question, Lin Yu's lips curved slightly into a brilliant smile, and he answered openly:

"Sister Chu Xi, are you talking about Little Kun? Haha, that fellow is nothing but a gluttonous little rascal. I just used a small trick to coax him and put him away!"

Lin Yu spoke these words frankly, without any falsehood.

After all, he had captured Little Kun right in front of Chu Xi, so there was no need to hide anything.

However, he did not mention where Little Kun was hidden.

Presumably, with Chu Xi's intelligence, she would not press the issue.

After all, in this world, everyone, more or less, has their own secrets.

Some things do not need to be thoroughly investigated; a hint is enough.

Just like when he first entered the Time River, by common sense, he should have long since been annihilated by the erosion of the Time River, yet now he stood here unharmed.

This situation, for someone with the Reincarnation Saint Body, was almost impossible to achieve.

But even so, Chu Xi tacitly did not bring it up.

This was the unspoken understanding of interacting with intelligent people.

"You... you're really amazing!"

Chu Xi pouted.

She had figured it out.

Lin Yu seemed a bit foolish and slow, but he was actually very shrewd.

From entering the Time River to actively seeking trouble with the Giant Kun just now, he had some confidence in his heart.

He was not the kind of hothead who acted impulsively.

However, she was still deeply moved.

Lin Yu's ability to do this was his capability, not a reason he had to save her.

On the contrary, Lin Yu came to save her, risking the possibility of his own death.

It sounded easy, but the process of constantly testing the boundaries of life and death was the most dangerous.

Just now, she almost thought Lin Yu would be buried in the Giant Kun's abyssal maw.

Fortunately, at the last critical moment, he successfully subdued the Giant Kun.

"Little Yu, be careful. This vortex is easy to enter but difficult to exit. The pulling force is very strong, and the closer you get to the edge of the vortex, the stronger the force of time's erosion!"

Watching Lin Yu gradually approach the vortex, she couldn't help but remind him again.

This was also the reason she was trapped inside.

She herself did not possess a physique that was of the same origin as space-time; she came in here purely because of her skill and courage, plus she had means of self-preservation.

She had seen a method to repair the immortal foundation in her family's ancient texts, one of which was to find a treasure called 'Retrospective Immortal Grass' in the Time River.

It could make her immortal foundation revert to its original state, a very magical spiritual grass.

However, this spiritual grass only grew in the Time River.

So, at that time, she came directly here.

But, she didn't expect that she had overestimated her own strength.

Not only did she fail to find the 'Retrospective Immortal Grass', but she also got herself trapped in the space-time vortex.

If she had known this earlier, she might have brought the 'space-time boundary marker' with her, which would have allowed her to save herself.

But that was just a 'what if'; time would not go back.

The son who possessed the space-time boundary marker did not come to save her; instead, this young man, who was not acquainted with her, came to her rescue.

Whenever she thought of this, her heart ached.

There was also a hint of disappointment festering within her, which was very difficult to bear.

"Don't worry, Sister Chu Xi, I said I would definitely save you and reunite you with Senior Brother Luo!"

Lin Yu said resolutely.

At the same time, he increased the output of Immortal Reincarnation Source Qi.

Chu Xi was right; the closer he got to the vortex, the greater the consumption.

At this moment, even beads of sweat were seeping from his forehead.

The power of time's erosion, capable of trapping an Earth Immortal, showed how fierce its might was.

It was only because his Source Qi carried an immortal attribute that it could exist in this environment for a relatively long time.

If it were ordinary Reincarnation Source Qi, it would have been exhausted long ago.

"Damn it, I was a bit overconfident. With this kind of consumption, even if I get in, it will be difficult to bring a living person out!"

Feeling the changes outside his body, Lin Yu began to complain inwardly.

He had underestimated the erosive force near the vortex, which had almost reached three or four times the previous intensity.

The recovery speed of his Source Qi was already struggling to keep up with the consumption rate.

"System, help me pull up items in the exchange panel that can withstand the power of space-time!"

Without any hesitation, he immediately thought of another solution.

Although it would consume some cultivation points, this was an investment, and it was completely worth it.

As long as he could strike at Luo Xingchen, the losses would quickly be recouped.

"Okay, please wait..."

"Relevant items have been found. Please check them yourself, Host."

Soon, Lin Yu heard the prompt he wanted to hear.

Pfft~~

However, before he could start checking.

The erosive force of space-time suddenly surged again, doubling instantly.

This created a gap in his Source Qi, which was originally maintained at minimum consumption.

The power of space-time surged in almost instantaneously, and a hole the size of a head appeared in Lin Yu's body in an instant.

Damn it~~

Lin Yu's expression changed, and he couldn't help but curse.

Then he desperately drove the Immortal Reincarnation Source Qi within his body to expel the power of space-time and simultaneously plug the hole.

But after this series of actions, his internal Source Qi was completely depleted.

Coupled with his severe injuries, his complexion instantly turned extremely pale.

His advancing figure also suddenly paused, coming to a halt.

He truly dared not go any further.

Saving someone was one thing, but he couldn't actually sacrifice his own life.

"No, Little Yu, your Source Qi can't hold on any longer. Get out, please, for my sake!"

It was also at this moment that Chu Xi's voice came from within the vortex again.

However, this time her voice was distinctly different from before.

While the previous two times were also anxious, they were more like concern for a friend.

But this time, by the end, there was almost a plea in her words.

And if one listened carefully, there was also a hint of an uncontrollable sob.

This was because at this very moment, Lin Yu's condition outside the vortex was truly unbearable to witness.

He had already lost one arm, and now a shocking large hole had appeared directly in his chest.
