Chapter 556

Before the Golden Era, the realm resembled the Silver Era, with numerous Men Sects governed by the Wu Lin Alliance, collectively guarding the Twelve Eras; but after the previous Alliance leader died and the Golden Pen Guest departed, the Wu Lin Alliance gradually faded from everyone's view, and the future of the Golden Era was thus severed.

"My friend has many abilities, and his combat power is only around a hundred thousand," Wang Da Dong began complaining; he still greatly admired Lin Yu, at least in his eyes, a guy strong to the point of insanity.

Dao Feng and Dao Gui stared at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes; Dao Feng asked in surprise: "What did you just say? He has many abilities?"

Wang Da Dong repeated: "At least five!"

Dao Feng said: "You're saying he possesses five abilities?"

Wang Da Dong shook his head and said: "Probably more than five, but I never actually counted them."

At this moment, Dao Feng and his wife were completely stunned, staring at Wang Da Dong with wide-eyed astonishment.

"This shouldn't happen—only one Ultimate Ability 07 user should appear in a single Era, unless he isn't originally from the Golden Era," Dao Feng frowned, his voice heavy: "Could he be an Ability user from another Era who stayed in ours?"

Dao Gui replied: "No, I saw him with my own eyes—there's no trace of energy from any other Era on him; he shouldn't belong to another Era, unless he's originally from the Golden Era."

After long contemplation, Dao Feng finally spoke: "Alright, I'm too old to understand the current Twelve Eras."

Though deeply confused, he said no more, only warning Wang Da Dong not to reveal what happened today.

On the other side, at Lin Yu's home.

The third brother, who had come to seek revenge, was utterly defeated by Lin Yu's Illusionary Realm; within the environment Lin Yu created, the third brother felt as if he had entered another world, his spirit shaken beyond anything he'd ever experienced—a sensation that made him suffer unbearably.

In his eyes, this was no power a human could possess; he began to believe Lin Yu was a divine being.

Lin Yu's torment of the third brother was to constantly disrupt him within the Illusionary Realm, drowning him in endless fear—this pain was worse than death.

Eventually, overwhelmed by infinite terror, the third brother surrendered, knelt down, and begged for Lin Yu's mercy.

Lin Yu let out a soft snort: "You were pretty brave just now, weren't you?"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come after you!" the third brother groveled, filled with regret, endlessly pleading for forgiveness.

Lin Yu slowly stepped forward, his foot pressing down on the third brother, looking down at him: "Make a choice—either become my subordinate, and I'll spare your life, or die."

The third brother nodded frantically in agreement; Lin Yu's power filled him with dread. He had no other choice now.

Lin Yu withdrew his aura; the third brother felt the crushing pressure on his chest vanish, and he immediately collapsed onto the ground, his posture humble and sycophantic.

Lin Yu said coldly: "Here's a Thunder Pill. Swallow it, and I'll let you go."

As he spoke, a purple pill crackling with lightning appeared in his hand, radiating fierce Thunder energy; the lightning spun in his palm, forming countless bolts.

Without hesitation, the third brother swallowed the Thunder Pill; he didn't know what it was, but he knew if he refused Lin Yu, he'd be killed and left in pieces.

The Thunder Pill vanished the moment it entered his mouth, sinking into his stomach, then flowing through his blood.

At first, nothing seemed amiss—but when Lin Yu clapped his hands lightly, the third brother instantly felt searing pain throughout his body, as if needles were stabbing violently into his skin.

The third brother trembled violently, sweat drenching his clothes; agonized moans poured from his throat, piercing and shrill, lasting a full five minutes before stopping. He collapsed weakly, gasping for breath.

Lin Yu said calmly: "As long as this Thunder Pill remains inside you for even one day, I can make you collapse anytime—or kill you at will. Understood?"

The third brother trembled and replied: "I—I understand."

Lin Yu nodded and barked: "Get out!"

The third brother felt a great weight lift; he scrambled to his feet and fled from Lin Yu's home, while Lin Yu sat back on the sofa, watching a TV drama.

Jiubu Hospital.

At this moment, in Duan Duan Changren's ward.

Hei Long sat on a chair, watching the unconscious Duan Duan Changren, his face pale, his heart aching; he clenched his fists and whispered low: "I must gain stronger power—I will definitely avenge you."

Just as Hei Long made up his mind, Ye Si Ti, who had not appeared in a long time, suddenly arrived before Hei Long, speaking with arrogance: "You want power?"

Hei Long regarded Ye Si Ti, who had appeared out of nowhere, warily, and said gravely: "I thought you'd left the Golden Era."

Ye Si Ti laughed loudly: "I didn't flee the Golden Era—my injuries are completely healed."

Hei Long asked without expression: "How did your injuries heal?"

Ye Si Ti smiled: "After being wounded by your Golden Era people, I accidentally stumbled into a hidden place—there was a woman there. At first, she mistook me for you, but she quickly realized the truth and told me that place was called the 'Forbidden Zone,' a rift in the Golden Era—precisely because of that, she couldn't leave."
