163: Encountering a Star Envoy and being hunted
In the Void, Aura waited in place.
Because of the presence of Dao Fall Power, the surrounding Void was very quiet; even Void Creatures would instinctively avoid this area.
Feeling bored, Aura began to try and develop Dao Fall Power.
For a period in the future, he would remain in the Void, unable to return to This Universe. Only when he had completely mastered Dao Fall Power and could conceal its fluctuations would he be able to return to This Universe and share Dao Fall Power with his main body.
Time was immeasurable in the Void.
After a long time, Alliance Master Old Deng suddenly appeared beside Lin Chen, startling him. He instinctively mobilized Dao Fall Power, forming a Dao Fall Power field around himself.
Of course, the Dao Fall Power Lin Chen currently controlled could not have any effect on Foundation Level beings.
Only when Lin Chen clearly saw that the newcomer was his backer, Alliance Master Old Deng, did he relax and withdraw Dao Fall Power back into his body.
"Group Leader, you suddenly appeared and scared me."
"You'll get used to it."
"I can't get used to it at all."
"Alright, I'll take the Land of Fallen Dao back first."
"Okay, I'm already feeling nervous guarding such a huge treasure, fearing that something might emerge and snatch it away. I'll feel much safer if you take it, Group Leader."
The two did not chat for too long. Alliance Master Old Deng casually compressed the Land of Fallen Dao into a ten-centimeter diameter sphere, carried it with him, and returned to the Federation.
Lin Chen, on the other hand, felt lighthearted and only had the task of mastering Dao Fall Power.
The prerequisite for mastering Dao Fall Power was to raise its intensity to the God level, then reverse Dao Fall Power and disguise it as normal Dao Power.
The intensity of Lin Chen's Dao Fall Power was currently only at Ascension to God Seventh-rank, and the quantity was not very large; there was still some gap before it reached the God-level Dao Fall Power.
There were many ways to increase Dao Fall Power. The most direct method was to feed it fragments of the origin of rules, but this method was generally not feasible for most people, as fragments of the origin of rules were rare and hard to come by.
Besides feeding fragments of the origin of rules, there were several other methods for relatively fast improvement.
The first method: invade worlds, collapse world rules. During the process of world destruction, Dao Fall Power would naturally grow.
The second method: slay Ascension to God or God-level lifeforms, grinding away the rules within them. Dao Fall Power would also slowly increase during this process.
The third method: feed Dao Fall Power with massive amounts of resources containing rule power, slowly increasing its quantity and intensity.
Now that he knew how to increase the intensity and quantity of Dao Fall Power, Lin Chen did not idle and began to take action.
In the Void, there were always Universes and worlds being invaded.
These invaded Universes and worlds were the resources for the growth of Dao Fall Power.
The Void was very vast, and encountering an invaded world or Universe was a matter of luck.
However, Aura's luck could only be described as utterly terrible. The bad luck of his main body and other clones ultimately needed an outlet.
And Aura, being in the Void and adventuring outside, naturally became the outlet for this bad luck. Only when his bad luck returned to normal would he be able to receive good luck again.
Lin Chen had no specific destination, so he randomly chose a direction in the Void, away from This Universe, and proceeded.
However, he traveled for a very, very long time and still encountered nothing. There was only the Void region around him, with the concept of emptiness lingering all around.
"Surely I should encounter something by now? It's too empty."
Lin Chen's words were truly effective.
His thoughts came true.
But it wasn't a good thing.
In a state of bad luck, it was impossible to encounter good things.
Lin Chen took a step and sensed a strong Void Power reaction from the Void ahead, mixed with the unique destructive power of a Star Envoy.
"No way, the place where I emerged from the Universe wall is almost half a Universe away from where that Star Envoy is fighting a God-level Void Creature. How could I run into it? That doesn't make sense!"
Just by sensing the fluctuations, Lin Chen knew what the situation was ahead.
He turned and left without any hesitation.
Malicious beings and Void Creatures were targets that Star Envoys needed to clear. He, as a Dao Oblivion carrier, was naturally also a target for clearing, and his priority for clearing was definitely the highest.
In the Land of Fallen Dao, Yuan Yue could barely suppress her killing intent towards Lin Chen, so a Star Envoy would naturally also be unable to suppress her killing intent. Moreover, that was her job, so she didn't need to suppress her killing intent.
Although Lin Chen had already fled, he was still detected by the battling Star Envoy, who sensed the Dao Fall Power that disgusted all living beings.
Star Envoy Yuan Yue did not hesitate, directly erupting with full power to repel the God-level Void Creatures surrounding her, and pursued in the direction Lin Chen had fled.
The God-level Void Creatures that were fighting Star Envoy Yuan Yue also, for some unknown reason, followed Yuan Yue's steps and pursued in the direction Lin Chen had fled.
Lin Chen's speed was incredibly fast, fully mobilizing Dao Fall Power, his speed was no weaker than that of a normal Lower God level.
But the Star Envoy Yuan Yue pursuing him, as well as the several God-level Void Creatures that followed, were not ordinary individuals; they were considered strong at the Lower God level.
"Dao Oblivion! Don't even think about escaping!"
Lin Chen didn't need to turn around; just by hearing the voice carrying destructive power, he knew that the Star Envoy had caught up and was following close behind him.
The distance between them was still very far, but it was slowly closing. At the current speed, it wouldn't take many years before Lin Chen would be caught by the Star Envoy.
"Bad luck, bad luck!"
"Not targeted by This Universe's consciousness, but stuck with her lackey Star Envoy."
Lin Chen was also helpless; life was unpredictable.
Who would have thought that he would be so unlucky as to directly encounter a Star Envoy? It was like a mouse meeting a cat.
"So it's you! Before, you were a sinful Void Creature, and now you are an enemy of all spirits, an enemy of all heavens! I will definitely not let you go this time!"
"No, you are also the Evil of All Living Beings!"
Star Envoy Yuan Yue connected to the unique Star Envoy communication network, uploaded the information about the Dao Oblivion carrier appearing outside This Universe, and then she firmly locked onto Lin Chen's aura, sensing a familiar presence within it.
She immediately understood why she felt a sense of familiarity with the Dao Oblivion carrier; it was because the last time she encountered a sinful Void Creature, it was two sides of the same coin as the Dao Oblivion carrier.
Not only that, but she also learned through the Star Envoy communication network that Lin Chen was also the carrier of the Evil of All Living Beings.
Having been born for hundreds of thousands of years, she had never seen an existence that could gather three evil powers within one body. It truly broadened her horizons and opened her eyes to the world.
"No, how can you Star Envoys just reveal everything so casually? All my identities have been exposed by you."
"Die!"
The Star Envoy only replied with "Die," then burst forth with accelerated speed, closing the distance between them even further.
Their remote communication ended there.
What followed was a joyful situation of her chasing him, and him having no escape.
Star Envoy Yuan Yue was clearly using a cheat.
With Dao Oblivion right in front of her, even if it meant perishing together with Dao Oblivion and her own return to heaven and earth, Star Envoy Yuan Yue would not hesitate.
Whether she died or not was irrelevant; as long as Dao Oblivion was annihilated, that was enough.
Star Envoys were such an extreme group of guardians. It was this extreme mentality that allowed them to cope with the erosion of all evil forces and always be at the forefront of combating evil.
As the two chased and fled, they moved further and further away from This Universe.
They were already close to the edge of the near-layer Void, about to enter the deep-layer Void.
The deep-layer Void was the true Void. The near-layer Void, due to This Universe, was somewhat influenced by This Universe, serving as a buffer zone between This Universe and the true Void.
As the saying goes, blessings never come in pairs, but misfortunes never come alone.
Lin Chen being pursued by the Star Envoy was just the beginning of his bad luck.
A new unfortunate event was already waiting for him on his destined path.
Taking another step, Lin Chen again darted a large distance forward, not far from the edge of the near-layer Void.
As long as he entered the deep-layer Void, he had a high probability of escaping Star Envoy Yuan Yue's pursuit through the complex Void environment, then honestly hiding in the deep-layer Void to grow, and finally quietly returning to This Universe.
However, Lin Chen's idea was good, but reality dealt him a harsh blow.
After another period, Lin Chen crossed the edge of the near-layer Void and officially entered the deep-layer Void.
The deep-layer Void was even more vast than the near-layer Void, and its dangers increased tens of thousands of times.
Even a Lower God level being entering the deep-layer Void was merely a roadside existence; if their luck was bad, they wouldn't even know how they died.
Lin Chen, however, was not afraid of this environment.
With Dao Oblivion in hand, as long as he didn't face a Foundation Level being directly, he could preserve his life by sacrificing Dao Fall Power.
