That wisp of shadow was twisting and wriggling, completely hidden in the shadows of the rocks on the ground. If not for the Magic Array catching a wisp of a different faint aura, he wouldn't have discovered that Birbo had suddenly made a move.
It was a simple Shadow Binding spell that used shadows to bind the opponent's shadow. But that spell was at the 8th Tier, and its effect wasn't very obvious.
Against a powerhouse of the same rank, it wouldn't take more than a second to break free. But the shadow mage channeling this spell would suffer a mana backlash, and the mana shock would last for more than a second.
If the Shadow Binding spell was effective and couldn't get rid of the opponent in less than a second, the shadow mage would usually be the one to die.
But now, this less than a second had become a fatal moment!
In less than half a second, just as Lin Yun was about to struggle free from the Shadow Binding spell, a wisp of Gravity enveloped his body. The sudden increase in Gravity made the Law Runic Shield around Lin Yun's body distort, and his bones creaked from the sudden increase in Gravity.
Steer was chased by the Demon Overlord over a hundred meters away and was in a difficult situation. But all his power and the Gravity he could exert were compressed to the limit of three meters, pressuring Lin Yun's body.
The instantaneous increase in Gravity was at least twenty times, and this was the power of the Bronze Beastmen's bloodline, it came from the power of magic patterns, it was different from a mage's Gravity Spell.
A mage's Gravity Spell could only make people feel as if they were carrying something, that was elemental power. The Bronze Beastmen's Gravity Spell only increased the gravity of the earth itself. Thus, whether it was the shield or the mage's body, they all suffered the same power.
But the deeper they went, the smaller the pressure was.
The sudden increase in Gravity squeezed Lin Yun's blood towards his lower body. Lin Yun's vision suddenly darkened. He struggled free from the Shadow Binding spell, but he couldn't break free from that huge Gravity.
A second later, something unexpected happened. A five-meter-long spatial tear appeared behind Lin Yun.
It was as if a giant beast had suddenly opened its mouth behind him, waiting to devour the prey in front of it. Lin Yun could ignore the devouring power of the spatial crack. Not to mention, he had a huge gravitational force on his body. It was impossible for him to be devoured by the spatial crack.
But that Evil Bone Demon brandishing two rib weapons helped Birbo and Steer deal the most important blow!
The huge rib ruthlessly smashed into Lin Yun's Law Runic Shield. The Law Runic Shield, which had already been deformed due to the gravity, looked like a baseball that had been hit by a bat as it flew Lin Yun into the spatial tear.
In an instant, Lin Yun suddenly understood everything, and his eyes became cold.
He opened his mouth and spat out the Book of Death's three runes and marked a coordinate. Then, numerous law runes flew out like a hornet's nest.
Each and every law rune looked like an ordinary rune and formed a half-meter-tall frame according to the runic structure.
Terrifying power spread out and that runic frame instantly collapsed. Then, a pitch-black Wind Blade instantly crossed over a hundred meters and ruthlessly slashed at Steer's arm.
The Bronze Beastmen's formidable defensive power was a joke in front of that pure spatial tear Wind Blade.
If not for Steer's quick reaction and dodging, it wouldn't have been his right arm that had been cut off, but his head.
The severed arm was instantly torn to pieces by that berserk power.
And this wasn't over. Lin Yun simultaneously activated five Summon Meteorite Scrolls and surrounded Steer in a circle.
At the same time, five Summon Meteorite Scrolls were thrown towards the Evil Bone Demon Overlord that had been used as a knife to deal the final blow.
As for Birbo, who was still suffering from a mana backlash, Lin Yun paid special attention to him. Five Summon Meteorite Scrolls and three Holy Light Illumination Scrolls …
Light sprinkled down and thoroughly cut off Birbo's opportunity to turn into a shadow. He couldn't escape and couldn't avoid the damage, so he could only rely on his own power to resist the five Summon Meteorite Scrolls, as well as the Demon Overlord he had been fighting.
In an instant, Lin Yun completed a bunch of actions, but he still couldn't avoid falling into that spatial tear.
Just as Lin Yun fell into the spatial tear, the Evil Bone Demon's other rib was swung over and forcibly shattered that spatial tear.
Lin Yun thoroughly disappeared, and in the distance, Steer and Birbo started facing the disaster they were about to face.
One of Steer's arms was torn to shreds. In the sky, five terrifyingly fast Meteorites had already appeared above Steer's head.
The five Meteorites forcibly tore through the void and surrounded Steer in a circle. The huge impact of the fall instantly broke eight of Steer's bones. Bronze Beastmen's formidable defenses could only barely keep him alive at this moment.
He had just consumed a huge amount of power and lost an arm. His magic patterns had become incomplete, his defense had sharply declined, and so had his power. Being able to survive was already pretty good.
Steer was covered in blood, his face as pale as a sheet of paper. The demon lord chasing him wisely chose to avoid the five meteors falling from the sky.
Looking at the place where Lin Yun disappeared, Steer clenched his teeth and sneered.
'Damned b * stard, that guy was really hiding his strength. That Wind Blade could easily cut off my arm, and he even has those terrifying magic scrolls. Damnit, how could he have so many powerful magic scrolls?
'But it doesn't matter, he is already dead. Haha, that spatial tear is only five meters long, and the small plane born behind it is at most seven to eight kilometers of land.
'In less than three minutes, that small plane will be submerged in the endless void. At that time, he will thoroughly die inside. He won't have Extraordinary Power and won't be able to come in contact with spatial power.
'Three minutes … Even a Saint Alchemist wouldn't be able to complete a Planar Path's array in three minutes.
'Even knowing the exact coordinates is impossible, Mafa Merlin is already dead!'
On the other side, Birbo didn't seem to have been rewarded with a Runic Wind Blade by Lin Yun, but the three half-meter-long Holy Light Illumination Scrolls could definitely make everything within a kilometer disappear without a trace. The power of shadows within that range would be cleanly expelled within a dozen seconds.
In other words, more than half of Birbo's shadow spells had been crippled. The most crucial Shadow Stealth, Shadow Fusion, and Shadow Incarnation had all been crippled!
Unable to merge with shadows to avoid damage, unable to use Shadow Incarnation to resist most damage, a shadow mage was a pile of brittle skin.
Facing the summons of five meteorites and an enraged Demon Lord, the fragile mage was in big trouble.
The startled and angry Birbo roared and kept dodging, destroying two True Spirit Magic Tools before escaping the range of the Holy Light Illumination Scrolls.
Just as she appeared, the shadow that shrouded Birbo's body was like a broken porcelain, instantly shattering and dissipating.
The shadow dissipated, revealing Birbo's true appearance. She was a middle-aged woman with a face as pale as a corpse. Her face was gloomy and ruthless, and her entire body was covered in blood. Her skin was covered in cracks that looked like tree branches, as if she was about to collapse.
But as she looked at the place where Lin Yun disappeared, a smile appeared on Birbo's cold face, a sinister sneer.
'Fool, shadow magic has always been looked down upon, but the most powerful shadow mages only need a very weak spell to deal with a very powerful enemy.
'One Shadow Bind, Mafa Merlin, you died so easily. You offended our Shadow Tower's prestige and slaughtered our Shadow Tower's mages. You didn't even let Dyrrhus off. Damnit, you died too easily …'
Birbo and Steer were very satisfied with this result. Even if they had to pay a price, no one would notice their actions in this chaotic place. Instead, they would see Lin Yun attacking them.
Even if Clombton released Temporal Recall to see this scene, he would at most discover a bit of abnormality in Lin Yun's actions.
And this time, a human mage and a Beastman attacked together. Even if Clombton discovered something, as long as they stubbornly refused to let go, no one would say anything for a dead person in consideration of the overall situation.
Birbo and Steer were very satisfied with the current outcome. Even if the two of them were seriously injured and almost killed, their goal had already been achieved and there was no meaning in haggling over the price.
Steer and Birbo dragged their seriously injured bodies and once again faced the two seriously injured and crazy Demon Overlords. On the other side, Lin Yun had already landed on an eight-kilometer-wide continent.
Although it was called a continent, it was actually a small mountain that was seven or eight kilometers wide and a few hundred meters thick. It floated in the endless void, and the chaotic energy in the surroundings constantly attacked the edge of the small mountain. Under the influence of an unfathomable power, the chaotic energy rapidly expanded the size of the small mountain.
Every second, the hill would expand by 300 to 400 meters. But after a dozen seconds, when the hill had expanded to about 15 kilometers, it was like a boulder that had fallen into a storm. It was madly grinded and dissipated by the chaotic energy storm around it.
In just three or four seconds, it returned to its original length and width of seven or eight kilometers, and its size was still shrinking rapidly. In at most 10 seconds, the small land would disappear completely, and everything on the small land would be destroyed along with it.
There was a small continent here. No matter what, this could be considered a small plane. With the existence of the spatial barrier, it could resist the violent power outside.
Void Storms, Spacetime Storms, Energy Storms, Elemental Storms, these contained boundless power but could only destroy. After losing the spatial barrier, they would tear everything to shreds, even souls wouldn't be able to exist.
1st Rank Heaven powerhouses couldn't last three seconds in front of this kind of power. Even a Peak 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouse like Clombton, who could advance to the 4th Rank at any time, would only end up dead if drawn into that terrifying Destruction Storm.
Lin Yun stood on the small continent with an ice-cold expression. He took out the Book of Death and immediately used the mysterious runes on the Book of Death to open a Planar Path to leave this place.
Although the spatial tear had already dissipated, as long as this small plane wasn't destroyed, with the runes Lin Yun had left at the entrance of the spatial tear, it was like entering a closed pitch-black room, but he knew where the mechanism to open the door was.
Using the power of the Book of Death, Lin Yun could easily open a Planar Path to leave this place.
But if he waited until the small plane was destroyed, then the individual coordinates would lose their effect, because the coordinates would no longer be comparable.
Things like coordinates could only be used when two planes were compared. The instant the small plane was destroyed, the plane used as a reference would disappear. In the endless void, using a person as a reference, the plane's coordinates would frantically change, it was simply impossible to find.
Even if they weren't torn to shreds by the destructive power of the void, they would be lost forever.
When Noscent developed to its peak, how many powerful existences, powerhouses surpassing the Heaven Rank, never returned after exploring the void.
But just as Lin Yun spat out two runes, the Book of Death's power would forcibly open a Planar Path with just one more rune, the Planar Path was forcibly opened.
The Book of Death suddenly flickered and a faint radiance flashed. Lin Yun could clearly feel a faint connection with the Book of Death, but that connection was intermittent and very unstable.
Seeing that light, Lin Yun immediately stopped chanting the last rune.
That light was too familiar!
Magic Tool Augment!
The Book of Death's Augment! In this damned place, the Book of Death actually resonated with an Augment!
Even if that resonance was intermittent and very weak, it showed that the Augment wasn't very far from the Book of Death. It was at least connected to the small plane that was about to be destroyed.
But the small plane under his feet would be destroyed within ten seconds, and opening a Planar Path to safely return to the Raging Flame Plane would take at least three seconds.
In an instant, Lin Yun poured all his mana into the Book of Death, and his Magic Array was roused to its pinnacle as he started searching for that intermittent connection.
As a large amount of mana poured into the Book of Death, that intermittent connection really became a lot stronger.
The small continent rapidly shrunk, and the small plane's fragile spatial barrier was already riddled with holes. The berserk power was already pouring into the continent, and the originally barren mountain-like small continent suddenly turned into an ugly beehive.
The originally thin and almost non-existent Mana here was now filled with berserk Mana.
Five seconds later, when the small continent was less than three kilometers in size, the spatial barrier was already fiercely shaking, on the verge of thoroughly collapsing.
The Magic Array finally caught a clue, and the Book of Death thoroughly linked that intermittent connection.
In an instant, Lin Yun unhesitantly rushed to a corner of the small continent and spat out three runes containing a terrifying amount of information. These were three of the runes recorded in the Book of Death, they were specially used to locate and open a Planar Path.
Following that faint connection, Lin Yun finished locating and opening a Planar Path in a second. A spatial tear opened in front of him, and Lin Yun didn't stop as he rushed inside.
The spatial tear rapidly closed, and a second later, that small plane was annihilated by the boundless destructive power and thoroughly turned into nothingness. All traces of its existence disappeared.
After crossing the Planar Path, he once again appeared in a newly born small plane. It was only three kilometers in size, but it was rapidly growing. It was also barren, and the mana there was so thin that it was negligible.
And here, the connection between the Book of Death and that Augment had become a bit stronger.
Looking at the plane under his feet, Lin Yun sensed that the Planar Coordinates he had left on the Holy Mountain were still intact. Suddenly, a strange light flashed in Lin Yun's eyes.
The Planar Coordinates he had left used the Raging Flame Plane and that destroyed small plane as a reference. But that small plane had already been destroyed, and the reference had already disappeared. It was reasonable to say that the Planar Coordinates had already been scrapped.
But now, he could clearly sense it, and he could even open a Planar Path to leave this place at any time.
Lin Yun looked pensive, but he didn't waste time. He didn't wait for that small plane to expand to its limits before falling into destruction.
Mana kept pouring into the Book of Death, maintaining the connection with that Augment. Then, he quickly found the core of that small plane, which was also the connection channel.
Three mysterious runes flew out and a Planar Path appeared once again, and Lin Yun crossed it once again.
What appeared this time was also a small plane, but this small plane was over twenty kilometers in size, and it was already shrinking, already in the process of destruction.
Unsurprisingly, the connection between the Book of Death and that Augment had become a bit stronger.
Lin Yun kept crossing one small plane after another. Some had just been born, and some had already fallen into destruction.
And the opening of a Planar Path wasn't necessarily possible at any time. After crossing a dozen small planes, Lin Yun finally concluded a pattern.
When the connection was weak, or when he couldn't directly open a Planar Path, it was because the next small plane might have just been destroyed, or it might be in the process of being born.
Only those that had already been born could smoothly open a Planar Path. Whether they were rapidly growing or rapidly being destroyed, they could all open a Planar Path.
After crossing over fifty small planes, Lin Yun was as pale as a corpse. During this process, he had to pour mana into the Book of Death to maintain the connection with that Augment.
Moreover, he had to quickly find a special point in each small plane, the point leading to that Augment, or the place to open a Planar Path.
After all, these small planes only existed for a very short time. From birth to destruction, some might only last a dozen seconds, some might only last a few minutes.
