Hungover, I crossed over to the psychic realm

Deep in the folds of time and space, that time-space passage which was about to become completely stable was like a lighthouse of hope about to be lit, standing alone but firmly in this mysterious realm. It exuded a soft and powerful light all over. Every ray of light seemed to carry Lin Yu and Li Qiang's deep longing for their hometown and their eagerness to return home as soon as possible. The two of them fixed their eyes on the passage, and excitement and expectation sparkled in their eyes. The joy of being about to embark on the journey home almost overflowed from their bodies. Lin Yu slightly clenched his fists, and the blue veins on the back of his hands protruded slightly due to the exertion, as if he was accumulating the strength to go home. In his mind, the familiar streets and alleys of his hometown, and the expectant faces of his elderly parents kept emerging, and his heart was filled with warmth and nostalgia. Li Qiang unconsciously took half a step forward, leaning his body forward, as if he couldn't wait to plunge into the passage, return to that familiar land, and feel the warmth and tranquility of his hometown again, and relive those wonderful times spent with his family and friends, those scenes of running and playing in the fields and chatting around the campfire, which were now constantly playing in his mind like a movie.

However, the gears of fate suddenly turned at this moment, mercilessly breaking this seemingly impending happy ending. The surrounding space fluctuated violently without any warning, just like a calm lake that was suddenly hit by a huge meteorite falling from the sky. Circles of ripples spread out in all directions in a crazy manner. Wherever they went, the space seemed to be wantonly kneaded by an invisible and malicious big hand. Accompanied by a tooth-aching "sizzling" sound, the air also seemed to be compressed to the extreme, forming visible twisted textures. These textures kept changing and intersecting, as if the rules of reality were gradually disintegrating under the impact of this force. Cracks began to appear on the ground under Lin Yu and Li Qiang's feet, and broken stones flew everywhere, as if this world was falling apart. Li Qiang staggered and almost fell. Lin Yu reacted quickly and grabbed him. The two exchanged a glance and saw a trace of uneasiness and tension in each other's eyes.

Then, a powerful and evil aura rushed towards them like a surging black tsunami. In this aura, the smell of decay and blood was intertwined, so strong that it almost made people suffocate and feel nauseous. The originally pure spiritual energy in the air quickly became turbid under the erosion of this evil aura, as if it was stained by a thick layer of ink. The originally agile and active spiritual energy instantly lost its former vitality and became stagnant and heavy, as if the whole world was dragged into an endless abyss by this evil force. Lin Yu and Li Qiang's breathing became rapid. Every breath of air they inhaled carried a pungent stench, making their stomachs churn. Li Qiang couldn't help covering his nose and mouth, frowning tightly, and his face was full of pain. Lin Yu endured the discomfort, and vigilance and determination were revealed in his eyes, ready to deal with the impending danger at any time.

It turned out that the turbulence in the void realm was like a deafening alarm bell ringing in the dark, alerting those mysterious and evil forces that had been lurking in the depths of the endless darkness and coveting for a long time. These evil forces had a perception ability far beyond ordinary people's imagination, like beasts that had been hibernating in the dark abyss for a long time, maintaining a high degree of vigilance against any abnormal movement. The moment the power of time and space showed abnormal surges, they were attracted instantly like sharks that smelled the smell of blood. In their distorted perception, once Lin Yu and Li Qiang successfully returned through the time-space passage, they would surely become a huge obstacle to their implementation of the dark plan. So, this group of people whose hearts were completely occupied by greed and evil did not hesitate to pour out in full force. They crossed countless mysterious and dangerous spaces, in which there were unknown energy turbulence and deadly traps. Some energy turbulence was like sharp blades that could instantly cut all substances into pieces. Once an expedition team strayed into it, they were instantly shredded into nothingness by the turbulence. Some traps hid a strange suction force. Once one got close, they would be swallowed by the endless darkness without even a chance to struggle. They passed through layers of dimensions full of deadly traps, and each dimension hid a crisis that could wipe out any living being. In those dimensions, the rules of time and space were in chaos. If one was not careful, they would fall into the whirlpool of time and be washed away by the endless torrent of time until their bodies and spirits were destroyed. But they seemed to be driven by some evil obsession and rushed towards the mountaintop where Lin Yu and Li Qiang were located at lightning speed, attempting to destroy their return plan in one fell swoop before the time-space passage was completely stable.

In the blink of an eye, a group of mysterious people dressed in black robes appeared on the mountaintop without any warning. The howling wind was like their accomplice, making the black robes flutter loudly. The sound was like the roars of countless demons in the dark, making people shudder. Looking carefully, strange runes faintly flashed on these black robes. Each rune emitted a cold blue light, as if it was the gaze from the abyss of hell, constantly prying into the souls of the living. The mysterious people had gloomy faces. Icy, cruel, and malicious lights flashed in their sunken eye sockets, like evil spirits crawling out of the deepest hell, exuding a terrifying aura of death all over. Their skin was a sickly pale color without a trace of blood, as if the essence of life had been drained from them. But their lips were as red as if they had been stained with blood. This strong contrast was chilling. One of the mysterious people slowly raised his hand. His withered fingers were slightly bent, and his nails were sharp and long, glinting with a strange cold light, as if ready to tear everything in front of him apart at any moment. Lin Yu and Li Qiang stared at these mysterious people nervously, their bodies tensed up, ready to deal with their attacks at any time.

There was no verbal communication among these mysterious people. It seemed that they had already reached some kind of evil tacit understanding. As soon as they appeared, they immediately launched a fierce attack. In an instant, various dark spells cut through the sky like black lightning. Each of these black lightning bolts was as thick as an adult's arm, carrying the power of destruction. Wherever they went, the air was instantly torn apart, making a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound, as if the space was wailing in pain. When the lightning hit the ground, it instantly turned the hard rocks into a patch of scorched earth, leaving deep black holes that could not be seen to the bottom. A pungent burnt smell still pervaded the holes, as if telling the terrifying disaster that had just occurred. A huge boulder hit by the lightning instantly shattered into countless small stones and flew in all directions like shrapnel. One of them flew past Lin Yu's cheek, leaving a shallow cut. Blood slowly flowed down his cheek and dripped onto the ground beneath his feet.

Poisonous fog rolled in like thick ink. Wherever the poisonous fog passed, the plants and trees withered instantly, their vitality vanished, and they turned into a pool of stinking black water. In the poisonous fog, there were faint moans of pain, as if countless wronged souls were struggling in it. If someone accidentally inhaled the poisonous fog, they would instantly feel as if their internal organs were being pierced by thousands of steel needles at the same time, suffering greatly, and their bodies would gradually weaken under the erosion of this toxin until the last moment of their lives. Li Qiang held his breath, and a trace of tension was revealed in his eyes. He knew the power of the poisonous fog. Once they were enveloped by the poisonous fog, their situation would become even more difficult. He quickly circulated his spiritual power and formed a thin protective barrier in front of him, trying to block the intrusion of the poisonous fog.

The power of the curse was like a deadly viper hiding in the dark, silently shuttling through it. Once touched, it would make the victim's soul tremble and fall into endless pain and fear. On the cursed person, strange black lines would appear, and these lines would keep spreading, like greedy vines, devouring their vitality until their souls were completely devoured and they became puppets of the dark force. Lin Yu watched his surroundings vigilantly, always on guard against the sneak attack of the power of the curse. He knew very well that this kind of invisible attack was the most troublesome. While paying attention to the movements of the mysterious people, he carefully sensed the fluctuations of the spiritual energy around him, for fear that he would be hit by the power of the curse due to a single oversight.

These dark spells came crashing down in a overwhelming manner towards Lin Yu and Li Qiang, completely enveloping them in a dark shadow of death, as if to swallow them and their hope together and plunge everything into eternal darkness. In the dark, the figures of Lin Yu and Li Qiang looked so small, as if they would be submerged by the endless darkness at any moment.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and calmed down his nervousness. He knew that he must not panic at this moment and must deal with it calmly.

The moment Lin Yu felt this evil aura, his eyes suddenly froze, and a touch of determination and firmness flashed in his deep eyes. Without hesitation, he let out a loud shout, and his voice was like the ringing of a big bell, spreading clearly over the chaotic and noisy battlefield: "Li Qiang, concentrate on maintaining the formation. I'll hold them off!" At the same time as the words fell, his figure was like a black bolt of lightning, rushing towards the dangerous front. His clothes fluttered loudly in the strong wind, and his hair fluttered wildly, but it didn't affect his firm steps at all. His eyes were firmly fixed on the mysterious people, as if he wanted to take in every move of theirs and find their weaknesses.

The Taichu Divine Sword in his hand glinted with a cold light under the sunlight, like a lively silver dragon, ready to soar into the sky at any moment and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy. The body of the Taichu Divine Sword was engraved with ancient and mysterious runes. Under the stimulation of the spiritual power, these runes flashed with a dazzling light. Each rune contained endless power. They were the precipitation of time, the crystallization of ancient wisdom, and carried the mission of guarding justice and hope. Lin Yu held the hilt of the sword more tightly. He could feel the Taichu Divine Sword trembling slightly in his hand, as if it was also excited for the upcoming battle. He gently stroked the sword body and silently recited the ancient incantation in his heart, awakening the more powerful power of the Taichu Divine Sword.

He used the combined unique skill of the "Chaos Sacred Canon" and the "Galaxy Sacred Canon". The spiritual power in his body gushed out like a surging river, blending and surging with the power of the Taichu Divine Sword. In an instant, a powerful spiritual energy shield was quickly formed around his body. This shield presented a colorful and strange light, yet it contained endless majestic power. On the shield, the stars twinkled, and the chaotic energy circulated, as if it was a miniature universe, containing the supreme truth of heaven and earth. This shield tightly enveloped him, Li Qiang, and the formation that had not yet been completely stable, like an impregnable fortress, firmly resisting the crazy attacks of the mysterious people. There were constantly impact marks of dark spells on the surface of the shield, but each time they were bounced off by the powerful force of the shield, creating circles of colorful ripples, as if declaring their unyielding and perseverance to the dark forces. Lin Yu looked at the dark spells constantly attacking outside the shield and secretly vowed in his heart that no matter what, he must protect Li Qiang and the formation and definitely return to his hometown.
