Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 128 The power of ghosts and gods
After a moment's thought, Lin Yu downloaded the various sword techniques uploaded by Lin Lie.

But before he could even begin his research, Lin Lie sent out an invitation in the group chat.

Lin Lie: I'm ready!

[Lin Lie: Are you free now?]

[Su Haoming: So eager?]

[Lin Lie: There's less than a week left, of course I'm anxious!]

Lin Yu thought for a moment and replied, "I have no problem."

[Lin Lie: Okay, then I'll invite you now!]

In an instant, a familiar invitation pop-up appeared in the chat group.

Lin Yu recalled his clone, clicked "accept," and immediately stepped into the portal.

……

……

Marvel Universe, Manhattan, New York, Marlton Hotel.

Although this hotel is only four-star, it has a good location near Washington Square Park and New York University, surrounded by many bars and cafes, making it a popular choice for many tourists.

But Lin Lie is, after all, a rich second-generation heir who is not short of money, and a mere four-star hotel is really not in line with his status.

The main reason he chose to stay here was because it was in Lower Manhattan, and four blocks south was the famous Brick Street!
In both Marvel movies and comics, it has been explicitly stated that the New York Sanctuary is located at 177A Brick Street.

After checking into the Marden Hotel, Lin Lie went to Brick Street more than once, but he just couldn't find the temple. He didn't know what he had done to offend the Sorcerer Supreme, that he was being targeted like this...

Fortunately, there's a well-known expert in the chat group who might be able to solve his current problem.

Looking at the silver portal that suddenly appeared before him, Lin Lie couldn't help but show anticipation.

The next second, a handsome young man dressed in modern casual clothes walked out. He first glanced around the room, then lowered his head, raised his right hand, and looked at his empty palm.

In an instant, brilliant blue light burst forth from his palm, condensing into a hexagonal magical barrier.

Looking at the extremely stable magical energy factors before him, the young man was surprised. He immediately dispelled the magical barrier and instead mobilized his Qi, condensing it into an amber-like golden light on his entire arm.

That's possible?!

"Is this the Marvel universe?"

The young man clicked his tongue in amazement and exclaimed, "Truly all-encompassing!"

In this world, all the methods he has mastered can operate without hindrance.

Not only the magic and energy he had just displayed, but even the status and authority of his physical body seemed to be loosening slightly.

Upon realizing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

He has now been exposed to quite a few worlds, but most of them have a cramped feeling of being crammed into a small space.

In comparison, the chaotic Marvel world before him actually gave him a sense of exhilarating freedom, demonstrating just how high the level of this world truly was…

As Lin Yu thought this, he looked up at Lin Lie, who looked surprised.

"You must be Lin Lie!"

"it's me."

Lin Lie snapped out of his daze, quickly stepped forward, extended his left hand, and said warmly, "Brother Lin, we finally meet!"

Lin Yu smiled and shook hands with the young man in front of him, his gaze casually sweeping over him.

As Lin Yu's gaze passed over the young man's right arm hanging by his side, his eyes narrowed, and he seemed to pause for a moment.

This moment was so brief that even Lin Lie's perception couldn't detect it.

The next instant, Lin Yu released his hand with a calm expression and said with a smile, "On your first day in the group, you dared to invite me. You are only the second person after Xiao He to do so!"

"Oh?"

Lin Lie's eyes lit up, and he asked with great interest, "Brother He, you're a transmigrator from Under One Person, aren't you?"

Lin Yu nodded and said, "That's right."

Lin Lie asked curiously, "I see that there are already quite a few Qi cultivation techniques in the group files, and even a few of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques have been uploaded. Could it be that the golden light that Brother Lin just used is the Golden Light Mantra of the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain?"

"almost."

"Uh, is this even close?"

"The Golden Light Mantra is essentially a technique for enhancing one's life cultivation. The so-called golden light is actually just a product that practitioners accidentally obtain during this process. Theoretically, as long as practitioners can adjust themselves to a 'positive' state, they can produce similar golden light, at most the control of which is far less refined than that of the Golden Light Mantra!"

"I see!"

Lin Lie suddenly realized.

Lin Yu sensed the unknown energy within his body with great interest, and suddenly said, "You have a good talent for cultivating Qi. If you have the chance, you can try to guide out your innate Qi. You might have unexpected gains..."

"is it?"

Lin Lie thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Then I'll listen to Brother Lin and give it a try when I have some free time!"

Lin Yu laughed and said, "Don't listen to me, it's up to you. I was just saying it casually... Also, we both have the surname Lin, so don't bother calling me Brother Lin. Let's use a different way of addressing each other that won't cause any misunderstandings!"

Coincidentally, Lin Lie also felt that this form of address was rather awkward.

After a moment's thought, he readily nodded and said, "Then let's go with Brother Yu!"

Is that Brother Yu?
Lin Yu looked puzzled, then nodded and said, "Alright!" He then walked to the suite window, looked out, and smiled, "When are we going to see the Supreme Mage?"

Lin Lie immediately grabbed the sword box from the bed and said decisively, "We can do it now."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, glanced at him, and said, "You really want to see him that much?"

"Not really."

Lin Lie shook his head and said, "I sought him out before because I wanted to join forces with Kamar-Taj to deal with the Battle of New York, but now it seems that the Sorcerer Supreme probably already knew my purpose. I just don't know why he is unwilling to see me."

"I want to figure out the reason behind this, to see if there's any misunderstanding..."

Misunderstand?

Lin Yu's lips curled up as he glanced at the other man's right arm hanging by his side and chuckled, "If it's just because of that, you don't need to go to the Supreme Mage. I can answer you right now!"

"..."

Lin Lie was stunned upon hearing this. Before he could react, a flash of silver light appeared before his eyes, and the whole world underwent a tremendous change.

"Whoosh-"

The whistling wind reached my ears.

Lin Lie's pupils contracted in astonishment as he discovered that he had been transported to a high altitude by the silver light, with an invisible barrier beneath his feet and a fierce gale all around him.

Lin Yu, who had teleported him high into the sky with a wave of his hand, hovered about two meters in front of him, looking at his right arm and saying calmly:
"I've been wanting to ask you this since just now, what exactly is going on with your arm?"

what? !

He actually found out?!
Lin Lie's pupils dilated sharply, and he stared at Lin Yu in shock.

Before he could explain, an invisible force invaded his right arm.

In an instant, the air near Lin Lie's right arm distorted, and his arm, which had been normal, suddenly swelled up, emanating streams of crimson energy filled with madness.

The black sleeves instantly shattered, and a hideous scarlet color spread from the elbows to the wrists and shoulders.

The blood-red muscles seemed to have come to life, eagerly announcing their birth to the world.

In an instant, Lin Lie's entire arm swelled up to a size larger, turning into a hideous, ghost-like scarlet arm.

Even so, the violent crimson aura seemed unsatisfied and continued to spread towards his body.

As the crimson color spread to his wrists and upper arms, two sealing rings engraved with green runes suddenly appeared out of thin air, radiating a brilliant green light with sealing power, constantly blocking the infiltration of the crimson aura.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

This design, this power... why does it look so familiar?

"Get back here...!"

Lin Lie gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, as if he were fighting against something in his right arm.

Lin Yu snapped out of his daze, stared at the crimson aura encircling his arm, and said coldly, "Didn't you hear me? Get lost!"

Before the words were even finished, the originally violent crimson energy seemed to have been hit by some terrifying force, and it instantly exploded.

"..."

Lin Lie was slightly taken aback, and found that the low murmur echoing in his mind had disappeared instantly. The pressure on him was greatly reduced, as if the thing in his right arm had really been seriously injured by that simple sentence.

...What kind of power is this?!

Lin Lie couldn't help but raise his head, staring at Lin Yu with a face full of shock.

At this moment, Lin Yu had already raised his right hand, his five fingers spread wide, and grabbed his arm with force!
"Oh!"

In an instant, the two sealing rings that emitted green light shattered.

Streaks of scarlet energy surged from his right arm, rushing towards Lin Yu's palm.

During this process, space itself seemed to be distorted by the crimson aura, tearing open extremely narrow cracks.

But no matter how powerful the crimson aura was, it had no power to resist the seemingly ordinary, handsome young man.

In just a few seconds, all the crimson aura detached from his arm, gathered in Lin Yu's palm, and finally condensed into a crimson solid fragment.

At the same time, Lin Lie's right arm also underwent changes.

The original scarlet color had completely faded, replaced by a sickly paleness.

Lin Lie's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but raise his pale right arm, only to find that the arm had suddenly become incredibly light, and with each swing, there were even wisps of afterimages following it...

"Ding--"

"Congratulations, host, you have acquired the passive skill—[Swift Shadow Hand]!"
