Survival in an apartment, starting with a stroke of luck on a plane

Lin Yu's eyes turned golden, and the third eye between his eyebrows opened automatically, its dark golden light mixed with pure golden divine power.

Around his body, golden divine power formed a faint armor, the outline of which overlapped with the Heavenly Gang Battle Armor, but was more majestic and sacred.

The Demon-Slaying Sword hummed excitedly in his hand—as a divine artifact bestowed by the True Lord, its power was unleashed to its fullest extent under the True Lord's blessing.

The giant beast seemed to sense Lin Yu's change as well.

Its body paused slightly, and for the first time, a feeling of "warning" appeared on its eyeless face.

It could sense that the small food in front of it had suddenly become unpalatable.

But it just doesn't taste good.

The behemoth opened its mouth and let out a deep roar. The sound didn't come from its mouth, but reverberated directly in the void, as if the entire void was trembling with its roar.

Dark purple void energy surged from the gaps in its scales, forming a swirling energy storm around its body.

Wherever those energy storms passed, the void was corroded with black marks. Several floating fragments of the world nearby were grazed by the edge of the storm and melted into nothingness before they could even scream.

Lin Yu gripped the Demon-Slaying Sword tightly, golden divine power flowing across its blade.

He could sense that he was indeed very strong when he was using the leverage.

But being strong doesn't guarantee victory, especially when facing a Void behemoth whose size and energy far exceed those of a regular legendary-level creature.

The next second, the behemoth moved.

Its massive body twisted violently in mid-air, and its dark purple tail lashed out at Lin Yu with a force capable of tearing everything apart.

Before the tail even arrived, a visible white mark had already been pressed into the void—a phenomenon caused by the extreme compression of space by the force.

The speed of its tail was extremely fast, completely disproportionate to its enormous size.

Lin Yu did not take the attack head-on.

The Void Walker's spatial teleportation was amplified to its maximum under the borrowed power state. His figure left a golden afterimage in place, and his true body had already appeared above the giant beast's tail.

"Slay the demon."

A sword slashed down.

The golden sword energy transformed into a giant sword phantom tens of feet long, carrying the divine pressure of a True Monarch, and slashed fiercely at the base of the giant beast's tail—the weakest point of its scales.

"clang--!!"

A deafening clang of metal clashing exploded in the void.

Lin Yu felt a terrifying recoil force coming from the sword, and the bones in his arms were creaking.

The golden sword energy left a deep white mark on the dark purple scales, sparks flying everywhere.

The beast's scales were harder than he had imagined.

The full-force sword strike, delivered while leveraging the opponent's strength, left only a white mark.

The behemoth winced in pain, its tail whipping upwards. Lin Yu, prepared, flashed again, appearing above the behemoth's back.

He looked down and saw dark purple void energy surging from the gaps in the scales on the giant beast's back. The energy flowed beneath the scales like a living thing, forming a natural energy armor.

Physical attacks are very difficult to break through the defense.

Then let's use an energy attack.

Lin Yu flipped his left hand, and the mountain-splitting axe appeared in his palm. He simultaneously infused both divine weapons with golden divine power, crossed his hands, and unleashed the axe and sword together, smashing them down fiercely towards the back of the giant beast.

"boom--!"

Golden sword energy and dark golden axe light erupted simultaneously, creating an energy vortex tens of meters in diameter on the back of the giant beast.

This time, cracks finally appeared on the dark purple scales, forcefully shattered by the combined power of the two divine artifacts.

Several scales shattered and fell off, and dark purple blood seeped from the cracks.

The giant beast let out an angry roar.

Its body tumbled violently in the void, its massive form creating a void storm that forced Lin Yu back.

At the same time, it opened its mouth, and the energy vortex deep in its throat began to spin again. This time, the color of the vortex was not dark purple, but almost black.

It is gathering strength.

This is a more powerful charge than the previous breath.

Lin Yu's Heavenly Eye detected the change in the energy vortex, and his pupils contracted slightly.

This attack was at least three times more powerful than the previous breath that melted the fragments of the continent.

We can't let it fill up completely.

Lin Yu pushed off with his feet, his figure transforming into a golden light as he charged towards the giant beast's head.

The behemoth seemed to have anticipated this move.

While it was gathering power in its mouth, the rest of its body was not idle. Dozens of dark purple tentacles shot out from under its scales. Each tentacle was tens of meters thick, covered with the same hard scales as its body, and the tip was a small mouth full of sharp teeth.

The tentacles came from all directions and wrapped around Lin Yu, blocking all his escape routes.

Lin Yu's eyes turned cold.

He didn't dodge, but instead sheathed the Demon-Slaying Sword behind his back, gripped the Mountain-Splitting Axe with both hands, and gathered golden divine power to its fullest extent on the axe.

"Splitter!"

A single sweeping axe.

The dark golden axe light surged to hundreds of meters in length, resembling a dark golden crescent moon, drawing a perfect arc in the void.

"Puff puff puff puff—"

The tentacles were severed one by one, and dark purple blood sprayed into the void.

But the severed tentacles were regrowing at a speed visible to the naked eye, with new tentacles growing in just a few seconds.

The regenerative abilities of the Void Beast.

Lin Yu did not linger in the fight. Using the force of his sweeping axe strike, he broke through the tentacle barrier and rushed to the front of the giant beast's head.

The behemoth's mouth was still open, and the black energy vortex had reached its limit, ready to erupt at any moment.

Right now.

Lin Yu switched the mountain-splitting axe to his left hand and drew the Demon-Slaying Sword with his right.

The sword spirits of the two divine artifacts simultaneously emitted a resounding hum, and golden divine power condensed on the swords into a huge sword shadow—the starting stance of the Demon-Slaying True Technique.

"Demon Slayer - True Technique, First Form!"

A sword thrust out.

He wasn't aiming his sword at the beast's throat, but rather at the swirling black energy vortex inside its mouth.

If the energy vortex can be destroyed before it finishes charging, the attack will explode inside its body.

The golden sword energy pierced into the giant beast's mouth, accurately hitting the core of the black vortex.

"boom--!!!"

A burst of golden light exploded from the giant beast's mouth.

The charge-up was interrupted.

The black energy vortex went out of control under the impact of the golden sword energy, and violent void energy erupted wildly inside the giant beast's mouth.

The behemoth let out a shrill scream, its mouth was forced shut, and a stream of black energy overflowed from the corner of its mouth, exploding a bloody wound on its chin.

Dark purple blood gushed from its chin like a waterfall, drifting through the air.

The behemoth's body writhed wildly, its enormous tail and tentacles lashing erratically in the void, pulverizing the surrounding fragments of the world.

Its pain was real; the interruption of its energy buildup caused an energy backlash, resulting in severe burns to its mouth and esophagus.

But it did not fall.

They didn't even lose their ability to fight.

The giant beast suddenly turned its head, and its eyeless face "looked" at Lin Yu. This time, the emotion inside was no longer anger, but a cold, calculating killing intent.

It no longer sees Lin Yu as food.

It regarded Lin Yu as an opponent of equal caliber.

The behemoth's body began to change.

The dark purple scales stood up one by one, and the void energy surging from the gaps was no longer a chaotic storm, but condensed into a huge dark purple magic circle around its body.

The magic circle was covered with runes that Lin Yu couldn't understand, and each rune was emitting a chilling spatial fluctuation.

It is using some kind of innate ability.

Lin Yu's Heavenly Eye was issuing a frantic warning: the energy level of this magic array was terrifying.

"The Queen Insect, what is that?"

[Unidentified. However, based on energy characteristics analysis, this is a spatial ability, possibly... spatial collapse.]

Space collapses.

Lin Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.

The moment the magic array was completed, the void around Lin Yu suddenly changed.

It is space that is shrinking.

The void within a radius of several hundred meters around him seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and the spatial distance was rapidly shrinking.

His body was tightly locked in the compressed space, making it difficult for him to move or even breathe.

The giant beast opened its mouth.

This time, without charging up, it directly unleashed an extremely condensed ray, only the thickness of a finger.

This ray was more powerful than any previous attack.

Because it was emitted during a period of spatial collapse, the shrinking space amplified the power of the rays countless times.

Lin Yu's Heavenly Eye issued a deadly warning the moment the ray was emitted.

Unstoppable.

Even when he was using the momentum, he couldn't withstand this attack.

But he doesn't need to block.

"Space lockdown."

Golden light burst forth from Lin Yu's body, forming a spherical space with a radius of ten meters around him.

Within this spherical space, any spatial abilities will be rendered ineffective except for Lin Yu himself.

The giant beast's space collapsed, and the moment it came into contact with the spatial blockade, it felt as if it had crashed into an invisible wall.

The shrinking space was forcibly opened up, creating a ten-meter gap, and Lin Yu's body regained its freedom.

The dark purple rays arrived almost simultaneously.

Lin Yu held the mountain-splitting axe horizontally in front of him, pouring all his golden divine power into the axe's surface, while the Demon-Slaying Sword drew a golden sword curtain in front of him.

"clang--!!!"

The ray hit the axe face.

An indescribable force surged through Lin Yu, making him feel as if he had been struck head-on by a star.

The axe blade groaned under the strain, his body was pushed backward through the void by the rays, and his feet plowed two spatial rifts in the void.

His tiger's mouth split open, and golden blood dripped down the axe handle.

But he blocked it.

The beam of light was deflected by the axe, grazed his shoulder, and created a black hole several kilometers in diameter in the distant void.

The black hole lasted for several seconds before slowly closing, and the suction force it generated before closing swallowed all the nearby fragments of the world.

Lin Yu took a breath.

The beast was stronger than he had anticipated.

When he's using leverage, he can fight it, but winning won't be easy.

Moreover, there are time limits for leveraging resources.

He must end the fight within ten minutes.

The behemoth seemed to realize that its opponent was not easy to deal with. Instead of attacking rashly, it coiled its body around, and dark purple energy flowed throughout its body, repairing the injuries to its mouth and chin.

Its regenerative ability is very strong. The bloody wound on its chin has stopped bleeding, and new scales are slowly growing.

It's stalling for time.

It sensed that the golden divine power on Lin Yu's body was not a lasting force. Although the power was strong, its fluctuations were unstable, as if it were borrowed.

If we can hold out until that power subsides, the creature in front of us will revert to being a vulnerable meal.

Lin Yu also realized this.

We can't delay.

He took a deep breath and circulated the golden divine power within his body to its limit. All the armor plates of the Heavenly Gang Battle Armor lit up, and the sword spirits of the Demon-Slaying Sword and the Mountain-Splitting Axe simultaneously emitted a passionate cry. His Heavenly Eye opened to its maximum at the center of his brow, with dark gold and golden light intertwining.

He took the initiative.

This time, he didn't use any fancy techniques.

It's fast.

Extremely fast.

The Void Walker continuously activated Spatial Blink, leaving a trail of golden afterimages in the void as he launched relentless attacks on the behemoth from different angles and directions.

"Clang clang clang clang clang—!"

Golden sword energy and dark golden axe light rained down on the giant beast, each strike aimed at the gaps in its scales, the edges of its wounds, the roots of its tentacles, and other vulnerable spots.

The behemoth reacted extremely quickly. Its tentacles wove an impenetrable defensive net around its body, while its body constantly rolled and twisted, making it difficult for Lin Yu to lock onto the same spot and launch continuous attacks.

Occasionally, it would open its mouth and spew out beams of void energy, forcing Lin Yu to retreat and defend.

In the void, golden light and dark purple energy collided and exploded continuously, each collision generating ripples in space.

The surrounding world fragments were destroyed piece by piece by the aftershocks of the battle, and countless cracks were torn open in the void, which then slowly healed.

This was a truly legendary, peak-level battle.

After about three minutes of fighting, Lin Yu finally found an opportunity.

As the behemoth turned to defend itself, the area on its back where its scales had been cracked by the impact was exposed—the new scales there were not yet fully grown and were at least 30% thinner than those in other areas.

Lin Yu did not hesitate.

He poured all the remaining golden divine power into the Demon-Slaying Sword, and all the runes on the sword lit up. The sword spirit was fully awakened, and a huge golden sword shadow appeared behind him. It was the phantom of a three-eyed divine general, holding a long sword, and his majesty was too great to look at directly.

The complete condensation of the True Lord's divine power.

A sword slashed down.

The golden sword shadow merged with the Demon-Slaying Sword in Lin Yu's hand, transforming into a golden beam of light that traversed the void, precisely striking the still-unhealed scale on the giant beast's back.

"Snap—!"

The scales shattered.

The golden sword energy pierced straight through, cutting into the giant beast's back muscles and leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound. Dark purple blood gushed out, scattering a rain of blood in the void.

The giant beast let out a deafening scream.

This sword strike truly wounded it.

It wasn't an energy backlash from inside the mouth, nor was it a white mark on the scales; it was a real, deep wound that reached the bone.

The giant beast's body suddenly arched, then began to writhe wildly.

Its tail and tentacles ceased to defend itself, and instead launched a suicidal attack on Lin Yu—it wanted to create distance before Lin Yu could pursue it.

Lin Yu did want to give chase, but the giant beast's dying counterattack was too fierce, and he had to dodge.

In that short time it took to dodge, the giant beast had already retreated several thousand meters.

It hovered in the distance, dark purple blood constantly gushing from the wound on its back, leaving a long trail of blood in the void.

Its breathing was heavy and rapid, and the energy fluctuations on its body were at least 30% weaker than when the battle began.

It was injured.

And he was seriously injured.

But it hadn't lost its ability to fight. Its eyes—on that eyeless face—were fixed on Lin Yu, filled with complex emotions: anger, killing intent, pain, and a hint of... fear.

It is being evaluated.

Assess the odds of winning if the fight continues.

Lin Yu held the Demon-Slaying Sword, standing in the void, golden divine power flowing around him.

His breathing was also somewhat rapid; that sword strike had almost drained half of his remaining divine power, but his eyes remained sharp, showing no sign of retreat.

A human and a beast faced off across thousands of meters of void.

A few seconds later, the behemoth made its decision.

It let out a low hiss, its voice full of resentment and warning, as if to say, "You got away with this time, but you won't do it again next time."

Then, a dark purple light shone around its body, and space folded and twisted in front of it, forming a temporary spatial passage.

It's going to run.

Lin Yu's eyes turned cold, and he was about to give chase when the giant beast suddenly turned around and spit out three void rays at him—not to hit him, but to block him.

Lin Yu had no choice but to swing his sword to deflect the rays.

When he looked again, the enormous body of the beast had already entered the spatial passage, and with a flash of dark purple light, the passage closed.

It ran away.

This is an experienced predator.

Lin Yu looked at the location where the spatial passage closed, but did not pursue it.

It's not that I don't want to chase, it's that I can't catch up.

Seven minutes had passed since he was in the borrowed state, and his remaining divine power was insufficient to sustain him in continuing the fight in the unfamiliar void passage.

Moreover, he didn't know where that passage led, and the void was fraught with danger; chasing after it might lead to even more troublesome things.

He put away his demon-slaying sword and mountain-splitting axe, and let out a long breath.

Won.

But the victory was not easy.

He looked down at himself—his tiger's mouth was split open, the muscles in his arms were trembling slightly, and there were several scorch marks on his Heavenly Gang Battle Suit caused by rays.

If he hadn't been in a state of leverage, he wouldn't have been able to withstand even a single blow from that behemoth.

Lin Yu shook his head, suppressing these thoughts.

Now is not the time to think about these things.

The period of leveraging external resources has ended.

The golden divine power faded from his body, and his aura dropped from the threshold of demigod back to the early stage of legend.

A strong sense of weakness surged up; the continuous high-intensity battle, coupled with the overload output of that final sword strike, had left his meridians throbbing with pain.

Two legendary Zerg creatures swam over, one on his left and one on his right, protecting him.

They were completely useless; there was no way around it, the monster was too strong.

"Master, are you alright?" one of them asked with concern.

"It's nothing," Lin Yu said, catching his breath. "Let's go back."

He leaned against one of them and flew towards the small world.

The battle just now was incredibly intense. The shockwave from the collision of golden sword energy and void energy spread throughout a large area. Lin Yu could sense at least a dozen powerful auras approaching – all void beings attracted by the battle.

We must leave as soon as possible.

The three quickly returned to the small world. The moment they entered the passage, Lin Yu glanced back—in the distant void, several blurry figures could already be seen hovering near the battle area, some devouring the blood left behind by the giant beasts, and others looking around for traces of the fighters.

Lin Yu withdrew his gaze and entered his small world.

The passage closed behind him.

……

Upon returning to the small world, Lin Yu immediately instructed the Queen of Insects to close all external passages and then began repairing the barrier.

The impact of the behemoth and the aftershocks of the battle had widened the cracks in the barrier considerably. Fortunately, the Queen had collected the fragments of scales and the blood that had been spilled from the behemoth—materials from a legendary peak void behemoth, more than enough to reinforce the barrier.

[My Lord, the barrier is under repair and is expected to take two hours. Once repaired, the barrier's strength will increase by 300%, making it impenetrable to ordinary legendary-level attacks.]

"Okay." Lin Yu leaned against the wall of the main nest, closing his eyes to recover his strength.

His mind was still racing.

Old Chen's warning, the giant beast's attack, other beings approaching from the void... all these things combined made him increasingly convinced that Old Chen was right.

I can't stay in my neighborhood anymore.

Not only is the small world uninhabitable, but its location in the void may have already been exposed.

The battle just now was so loud that those beings in the void have already noticed this place.

Moreover, the giant beast found its way here by following the aura of the small world, which suggests that the coordinates of the small world may have been leaked.

He needs to leave as soon as possible and find a safer place.

The world of divine bodies.

Old Chen said that the divine world is also possible.

The Divine Body World is the divine body space of the ancient gods, independent of the system, and has its own set of rules.

Moreover, the interior of the divine world is extremely vast, and the Zerg have already established a solid base there.

Most importantly, the entrance to the Divine Body World is extremely well hidden; apart from Lin Yu himself, almost no one knows how to get in.

That's the safest option right now.

Lin Yu opened his eyes and made his final decision.

"Queen, prepare for a full evacuation. Once the barriers of the small world are repaired, we will immediately proceed to the Divine Body World."

【clear.】

Lin Yu stood up and stretched his body.

My physical strength has recovered somewhat, but the strain from using my strength is still there, and it will take at least half a day to fully recover.

He stepped out of the main nest and looked at the sky of the small world.

The cracks in the barrier are slowly healing, and the dark golden light is shining again.

In the distance, Zerg units were busily moving materials and reinforcing the barrier.

……

Two hours later.

The barriers in the small world have been repaired.

The dark gold barrier was thicker and more solid than before, and its surface had an additional layer of faint purplish-black patterns—traces left from the reinforcement with the blood and scale fragments of the giant beast.

The Insect Queen reports: [Master, barrier repair complete, strength increased by 300%.]

Lin Yu said, "Prepare for space jump, target—the Divine Body World."

[Understood, space jump preparation in progress... estimated time five minutes.]
