Chapter 2

In the dense primeval forest, the youth wrapped in a grass skirt sat slumped on a giant rock, looking with melancholy at the crooked and messy forest ahead.

At this time, an hour had passed since Lin Yu discovered this barrier.

When he first discovered this invisible barrier, he thought it was some kind of magic barrier or energy shield, but after various attempts, he had to admit that this thing was definitely not as simple as a barrier or shield.

First of all, the invisible barrier itself did not contain any energy, and his internal universe had no special reaction to it.

Various physical and energy attacks not only would not cause damage to the barrier but would instead pass through it cleanly, as if this thing did not exist at all.

In other words, this barrier was actually only targeting Lin Yu alone!

... But how could this be possible?

Lin Yu was an existence equivalent to a dimensional demon god; even this world itself had to concede before him. How could a mere barrier possess the power to stop him?

Thinking of this, Lin Yu began to change his line of thinking, casting his gaze toward his internal universe.

After a period of self-reflection and careful observation, Lin Yu finally realized belatedly that this so-called barrier did not exist at all!

The reason he could not leave this place was actually a kind of locking and binding of him by his internal universe.

As mentioned before, this world was extremely resistant to Lin Yu's entry.

Although under Lin Yu's unreasonable insistence, the world itself chose to concede, this concession was by no means a total retreat, and Lin Yu's true body had not completely entered this world.

Simply put, only his external body had entered this world, while his internal universe remained in the void, independent of the world.

This state was extremely abstract and difficult to describe in words.

In short, Lin Yu was currently in a state of "entering" and "not yet entered," a state of "as if entered."

Even though he could interact with this world in a human image, in essence, his true body universe was still locked out and had never entered the world before him.

As for that invisible barrier, it was actually the restriction and locking of itself by the true body universe outside the world.

Lin Yu walked along the barrier for the past hour and found that he could only move within a radius of ten miles, centered on the spatial coordinates where he entered the world.

"Damn, I knew things wouldn't be that simple!"

Lin Yu smashed the giant rock beneath him with a punch, a look of resentment appearing on his delicate face.

He finally understood why this world allowed him to enter.

To a certain extent, the locking of the true body universe was this world's suppression of him.

After all, Lin Yu was just an ordinary human before transmigration, and he didn't know how to resolve this kind of suppression and binding.

But it didn't matter; his status was set here, and he was immortal and invincible, so he had plenty of time to study it properly.

Isn't it just changing a cage~

At least the environment is better, and there are local creatures to talk to him; isn't that much better than that dead, silent void?

Lin Yu comforted himself for a while and soon chose to accept reality.

As long as he wasn't allowed to continue drifting in the void, everything else was fine!

Thinking of this, Lin Yu leaped up, landed on the ground, and looked back at the forest behind him.

Since he chose to accept reality, then this ten-mile activity range was his, King Lin's, territory!

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the ground beneath Lin Yu's feet cracked, and his body leaped high, landing toward the dense forest ahead.

As a great existence comparable to a dimensional demon god, Lin Yu's power had already exceeded ordinary cognition.

As early as when he was studying that barrier, he discovered that apart from energy absorption, this body itself also possessed countless wonders commensurate with his status.

Taking physical strength as an example, Lin Yu's power could no longer be measured by simple data.

To be precise, as long as he "moved," then any power lower than a single universe could not stop his actions.

Like the 【Energy Absorption】 discovered earliest, Lin Yu called this wonder 【Unstoppable】.

However, being unstoppable in action did not mean he could destroy the world with one punch.

In fact, Lin Yu's direct destructive power to the environment could be described as minimal.

He could easily lift heavy objects weighing hundreds of millions of tons by relying on his own wonders, but he could not smash a high mountain with one punch, at most inserting his arm into the rock without any obstruction.

This was because every move he made represented the universe within him.

All actions were interactions between two universes, rather than the venting of power in the conventional sense.

Even so, Lin Yu was still an invincible existence in this world.

Just like now, a massive monster over thirty meters long, covered in thick, earthy-yellow scales, running like a small mountain, was as weak and powerless as an ant before the seemingly tiny Lin Yu, unable to shake his figure in the slightest.

"Roar!!"

The deafening sound wave spread in a ring.

The giant beast weighing over a hundred tons exerted all its strength, roaring as it charged forward.

The herd of beasts trembled at its roar, and the earth shook beneath its feet.

In the forest within a thousand meters, only the youth facing the charge remained unmoved; he just gently raised his right hand and pressed it on the thick, several-meter-long horn above its nose.

In an instant, kinetic energy and impact force surged into his body continuously.

The giant horned beast's majestic charge seemed to have hit cotton, causing no ripples at all.

Lin Yu pressed the horn with one hand, looking with great interest at the kinetic energy gift package that was still pawing its hooves, trying to knock him away, while chattering incessantly:

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the king of this territory, right?"

"Don't try to deny it, I've discovered that the forest within ten miles is full of your scent!"

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your admission. Let me see... scales, a horn, a lizard head, and four hooves. Tsk tsk, you little thing look quite unique; how did you evolve?"

"Looking at your size, you don't look like a creature that could evolve in a normal natural world; you look more like a magical beast from some fantasy work—wait, what is this?!"

Lin Yu looked ahead in astonishment.

He saw that the giant horned beast, finding its charge fruitless, actually opened its bloody mouth, condensed a ball of yellow light from its throat, and then spat it out violently.

"Boom—"

The yellow ball of light shot out of its mouth, turning into a beam of light over a meter in diameter that bombarded Lin Yu.

The violent energy tore through the ground, stirred the air, and kicked up a sky full of smoke and dust.

Seeing this scene, a trace of cruel joy appeared in the giant horned beast's huge, earthy-yellow vertical pupils.

But soon, its eyes turned into a look of irrepressible terror.

Following its gaze, one could see that amidst the smoke and dust, streams of earthy-yellow light were surging into the youth's body like a river flowing into the sea.

Before long, the yellow light vanished completely, and only the half-naked youth remained standing in place, his whole body unscathed, even the grass skirt around his waist intact.

"Ho~ interesting, what kind of energy is this?"

Lin Yu patted the non-existent dust on his body and stared at the giant horned beast's eyes with great interest: "Spiritual power, battle qi, or magic, or some local specialty I don't know—hey hey, don't run!"

The giant horned beast was shocked by the incomprehensible scene before it, actually retreating two steps in fear, and then turning around to run wildly.

Fortunately, this guy was too big and not flexible enough; Lin Yu only mobilized a little energy to catch up with it, twisting his body in mid-air and kicking heavily on the scales of its back.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the giant horned beast fell to the ground with a wail, splashing up a sky full of smoke and dust.

Lin Yu descended from the sky, landed on the giant horned beast, and looked in surprise at the sunken earthy-yellow scales beneath his feet.

"Not bad, sturdy enough!"

He praised it twice, then walked to the head of the giant horned beast, looking down at the yellow eye pupil that was bigger than his head, and said indifferently:

"Submit, or... I'll beat you up and then you submit!"
