Chapter 986: Chapter 986

Yao River City had entered a state of comprehensive development. Those who sought to create trouble for Du You were busy confronting the new lord he supported, so they wouldn’t be affecting him for the time being.

Under these circumstances, Du You returned to the Capital, but he didn’t enter the city itself; instead, he was in the City of Islands.

Without informing anyone of his intention to enter the Other World, he directly initialized the world coordinates. Since he had bought the world coordinates anonymously, no one knew that Du You had purchased them for his use.

The space portal appeared, but this time it was completely different from before. As Du You passed through, he noticed a chaotic scattering of light inside the portal, no longer like the previous ones. It faintly seemed as if the portal was vibrating, giving off the feeling that it might collapse at any moment.

Confronted with this situation, Du You and the two sisters felt a cold sweat break out on their foreheads, fearing that the portal might shatter. If that indeed happened, they would most certainly perish in such an environment given their strength.

Fortunately, the outcome was favorable, and the portal remained intact until all three of them had exited.

"Thank goodness we’ve finally made it. Is this fragmented world really so dangerous?"

Looking around, Du You saw that the entire sky was grey and dull. Unlike a world eroded by demons, the sky seemed as though ashes were scattering in the air, and a peculiar scent filled the atmosphere.

Looking behind, the ground was fissured open, revealing a Grand Canyon of unknown depth. Nothing could be seen on the other side, only the blurred sight under the glow of fire. On the edge of the canyon, flames burned fiercely, and thick smoke billowed.

If one stood at the cliff’s edge and looked down, they could see many streams of lava and strange glows erupting from within it. The whole cliff painted a picture akin to the apocalypse.

"So this is what a fragmented world looks like. It feels like it could collapse at any moment. No wonder so few dare to come here," Lin Yucha said, her face brimming with shock as she surveyed the surroundings.

This was not a world on the brink of destruction, but a world after a great devastation. And this world was left with numerous fragments, any of which might shatter at any moment.

Coming to such a world at this time was indeed very dangerous, with luck playing a significant part in their survival.

In exceptional cases, please be mindful not to use power beyond tier four within this world, as it may cause the fragmented world to collapse.

Du You suddenly saw a notification appear on his panel; since reaching tier four and the disappearance of the main missions, he had not seen any special prompts upon entering a new world, like in the beginning.

Unexpectedly, a prompt appeared this time, warning of the fragility of this world. Du You silently calculated that his most powerful attack probably did not reach tier five, but surpassing an average tier four wasn’t impossible. If he used the Destruction Flames, known for their wide reach and impact force, it was uncertain whether it would exceed this limit.

Therefore, Du You had already decided not to use Destruction Flames at all. It was fortunate he had not upgraded this skill; otherwise, it would have been wasted.

"In the upcoming battles, let’s keep our actions low-key; if we can assassinate, we will assassinate, if we can ambush, we’ll ambush. Alright, let’s move forward now,"

Du You signaled to Lin Yucha, who immediately summoned her Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf, dispersing them around the area to begin surveillance. Lin Yushi also started looking for lower-tier creatures to create several Demon Extermination Spirits to serve as eyes.

This environment was different from before, where excessive power could lead to destruction. This world inherently had a high level cap, said to be up to tier seven, meaning that power of tier seven could be fully exerted within it.

For now, they were yet unaware of the current state of this world since it was part of many fragments. Before arriving here, they had no idea which fragment they would appear in.

In the Dark Dragon Valley world, there were many fragments; some had been cleared by others, but most had not. When Du You bought the world coordinates, he was told that this place was not cleaned up and that there were contractual limitations.

Given that few people were willing to visit such a world, the credibility was quite high.

"Target spotted, it seems this world does have some connection with dragons," Lin Yucha suddenly spoke. Soon after, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf returned with a prey in its mouth.

It seemed to be some sort of lizard that had characteristics of a dragon. Although Du You couldn’t quite tell what it was, he could sense some special power from it; it must be one of the Dragon Beasts, albeit with a very thin bloodline.

After some examination, Du You decided to move forward. "It seems that not all creatures in this world are powerful dragons; some are weak," he remarked.

As he spoke, Du You summoned all his Summoned Beasts. Wary that excessive sandification could cause problems for the land, he did not allow the Death Scorpion to perform large-scale sandification but instead had it attached to himself.

After all, the Death Scorpion could sometimes use a mutually destructive tactic against enemies.

"Look, over there, a group of Magical Beasts that look like oxen and carry dragon blood," he pointed out.

Du You shook his head, "Their tier is not high; there’s no benefit in killing them." These beasts were only tier three, and they had only just reached that tier, so even if they dropped something, it wouldn’t be of much use.

But Lin Yushi had no intention of letting them go. "Let me do it; I’m actually short a few Demon Extermination Spirits."

Then Lin Yushi approached the Dragon Beasts, and before they realized her presence, her arrows had already struck them. An Explosive Scattering attack swiftly eliminated the entire group of about thirty Dragon Beasts.

Subsequently, over thirty Demon Extermination Spirits rose up, their tier nearly reaching the maximum allowed for such spirits. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

With the Demon Extermination Spirits, Lin Yushi’s magic power recovery abilities were activated. The spirits scattered, spreading out into the surroundings. Although this fragmented world was but a piece, it was certainly not small—probably as large as several cities.

Du You came here because the information mentioned that there were giant dragons in this fragment, a reason he wouldn’t otherwise visit. All the dragons of the Dark Dragon Valley had the Dark Attribute or a dark variant, making it an ideal place to seek out his bloodline.

When Xi Qianxue recommended this place initially, it must have been for that reason. Perhaps even Xi Qianxue herself didn’t fully understand the dangers of a fragmented world.
