Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

Seeing Jingyu's sudden change in expression, Lin Chen wasn't surprised at all.

He already knew from Cangming that the Talisman Puppet Sect was a first-rate power in the Yuanxu Universe. How could someone who could establish themselves in such a place and survive the Qian Yuan Chamber of Commerce's pursuit be a saint? That was the first point.

Secondly, even someone stronger than Hong Feng was interested in Lin Chen's secret of mastering multiple laws, yet Jing Yu didn't ask a single question about it from beginning to end. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but rather that he was being cautious. He was deliberately avoiding the topic.

Third, Jingyu keeps saying he can't let go of Lüying and feels sorry for the Prophet, but six hundred million years have passed and he has never returned even once. The moment his sect is destroyed, he suddenly remembers there's someone here he can turn to. This whole explanation sounds utterly false.

Finally, and this was the point that made Lin Chen most certain that something was wrong with him—this person was unusually well-behaved from beginning to end, unlike what a 12th-level expert should be like.

Something unusual must be going on, so Lin Chen never trusted Jing Yu. Before leaving, he wanted to take him with him, and the first thing he did upon landing was to keep his distance.

"Who said I was going to run away?" Lin Chen said calmly. "Since I've been on guard against you all along, do you think you still have a chance?"

Jingyu paused, he was indeed hesitant.

Lin Chen has mastered too many rules, and he himself is not sure what new things can be created by combining two of them.

Moreover, this person never trusted him from beginning to end. A naturally suspicious person is most afraid of encountering someone who can hide things even better than himself.

But then he immediately thought of Hong Feng's fate, and his face turned cold: "You're lying to me!"

Before the words were even finished, the person had already rushed out.

Lin Chen dared not be careless, and his eight clones simultaneously left his body to meet the attack together with his main body.

Jingyu drew his longsword, its tip slicing through the air several times, and talismans appeared out of thin air.

Lin Chen's feet sank, and his empty steps felt like stepping into a swamp, causing his speed to slow down considerably.

A rune condenses in the void, and a longsword draws the rune!

These were tactics that Hong Feng had never used when they fought him.

Lin Chen's heart sank; the other party had indeed been hiding their trump card all along.

He immediately stopped, his main body and eight clones halting simultaneously. With a clasp of his hands, nine Five Elements Thunderballs formed almost at the same instant.

Jingyu's expression finally became more serious. He had witnessed the power of this lightning ball; even Hongfeng's divine robe couldn't withstand more than a few strikes. He knew that his physical body wasn't much tougher than a divine artifact.

He flipped his wrists and quickly set up eighteen defensive talismans in front of him, then took out a mirror-like magic artifact from his ring and placed it in front of him.

Nine lightning balls struck simultaneously. The first six collided with the eighteen runes, shattering layer upon layer and scattering light debris in the void.

After the eighteen talismans shattered, the energy of the six lightning orbs was also exhausted. The remaining three orbs crashed directly into the mirror, but the mirror remained completely still, and the lightning was steadily absorbed.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed. As expected, he couldn't break through. This was already his strongest method.

He immediately dispersed his clones and turned to run.

Jingyu was already very close to him; staying any longer would only lead to being entangled. A tenth-tier fighter against a twelfth-tier fighter was suicidal.

When Jingyu saw that he turned and ran after failing to strike, she immediately became anxious and chased after one of his "true forms".

His cultivation level was high, and the void was sealed by runes, so Lin Chen's "true form" was caught up with before it could run very far.

Jingyu thrust out his sword, striking her directly in the back and piercing through it.

But the moment the sword tip touched the body, the "original body" exploded, turning into a phantom and dissipating into the void.

Jingyu's heart sank: "We've been tricked."

Lin Chen's clone was too similar, even the aura was exactly the same. He stared at it for so long but still couldn't tell the real one from the fake one.

He immediately turned around and chased after the next figure, only to miss again.

The third attempt also failed.

The remaining figures were already close to breaking out of the rune's sealing range.

Jingyu finally panicked. He didn't know that Lin Chen's main body and clone could switch positions at any time, so chasing any path might not be the right one, but there was no time to try them one by one.

"Which one is the true form?!"

Amidst Jingyu's furious roar, Lin Chen's remaining figures had already escaped the blockade area, and simultaneously used spatial laws to disappear into the void.

He stood still, staring at the empty space ahead, his face extremely pale.

He hadn't planned to turn against him so soon. He had been playing the submissive role for so long just to find out more about Lin Chen's background.

As a result, the other party was on guard against him from beginning to end, and not only did he not have a chance to make a move, he also failed to leave any backup plan in the Blue Star universe.

Now that the person has run away, there will be endless troubles ahead.

Jingyu reluctantly sheathed his longsword and took out a star map to check his current location.

He still had the kill order from the Qian Yuan Chamber of Commerce hanging on his back, so he dared not be careless.

The moment the star map unfolded, he was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up with wild joy: "The Chaotic Domain... we've actually arrived in the Chaotic Domain! Now we don't have to worry about the Qian Yuan Chamber of Commerce chasing us anymore."

He chose a direction, took out a flying boat, and quickly left the spot.

On the other side, Lin Chen breathed a long sigh of relief after confirming that he had shaken off Jing Yu.

He took out the star map he had obtained from Hong Feng, looked down at it, and was equally stunned.

After a while, he scratched the back of his head: "Looks like I'm pretty lucky. I actually ended up in the chaotic, lawless region. The Qian Yuan Chamber of Commerce shouldn't be looking for me for now."

The Chaotic Domain is the only place in the entire Primordial Void Universe where no major power is stationed, and people from all major powers generally dare not set foot there easily.

Initially, this place was just a gathering place for the remnants of small and medium-sized forces that were being ostracized and hunted down by major powers.

This place is resource-poor, and the major powers are busy fighting for the rich star regions, so no one has time to pay attention to this scrap.

Once the struggle between the various parties was settled, and they finally had time to clear out these "remnants," they discovered that they had already gathered in the Chaotic Domain.

The major powers mobilized their armies to wipe them out in one fell swoop, but as soon as they entered the chaotic domain, their teams suffered inexplicable casualties.

Some people disappear into thin air without any warning. What's more troublesome is that this space is extremely unstable, with spatial gales rising up from time to time. Any expert below the thirteenth rank who gets caught in them will be instantly torn apart.

There were also sudden spatial rifts that swallowed up everything that came near, leaving no trace.

Initially, everyone thought the missing person had encountered a spatial rift, until someone said they saw their friend disappear beside them, even though there were no spatial rifts around.

Since then, the mystery surrounding the Chaotic Domain has deepened.

However, people gradually figured out the pattern: as long as they didn't gather in large groups, the probability of something happening would drop significantly.

As a result, the Chaotic Domain gradually became a haven for independent cultivators and small forces. Even behemoths like the Qian Yuan Chamber of Commerce were unable to establish a large presence there. In addition, given the meager resources available, they could only turn a blind eye to the situation.

Not long after Lin Chen appeared in the Yuanxu Universe, Liu Yun sensed the pursuit mark on his body.

However, when he discovered that the target's location was in the Chaotic Domain, he couldn't help but frown. The Chaotic Domain was too special, and even if he was a young master of a region, he couldn't reach it.

He pondered for a moment, then summoned a guard: "Go to the Death Tower and issue a kill order."

He paused for a moment: "The other party should be from a small world, and their cultivation level should only be tenth level... But to be on the safe side, let's put them at the Xuan level."

After saying that, he took out Hong Feng's soul tablet from his waist, and with a light stroke of his fingertip on the tablet, Lin Chen's current location clearly appeared on it.

"Yes, young master." The guard took the soul tablet, bowed, and left.
