<h4>Chapter 1299: Bloodline Connection</h4>
Lin Yun floated, and didn’t move at all. He was very calm as he finally realized where he was.
This ce was not a hole or a shadow in space, but the subspace that was made of the space’s reflection. Everything was reversed here. Evenws were different. So, it was impossible to cast spells.
Taking one step here might cover unfathomable distance in the outside world. With any luck, one might be able to cross 100,000,000 kilometers in one step.
Thew of space here waspletely different from that in the outside world too. It couldn’t be applied until one truly saw everything here.
The Void Owl became bolder and bolder, and slowly approached Lin Yun…
When it was within 10 meters of Lin Yun, the Void Owl vanished again and reappeared dozens of meters away. It then approached him again.
Lin Yun stood where he was. He was seeing a world of twisted light. Unless he was fully adapted to this space, even a gap of 10 meters might be an insurmountable barrier for him as it might equal 100,000,000 kilometers.
Although this ce was hardly affected by the normal space, he didn’t know whether or not he would end up in the center of a void storm after he took a step. If so, he would die miserably if the Void Owl pushed him out of this subspace.
All of the Void Owl’s abilities and strength were for survival. Although it was incapable of winning head-on battles, even enemies levels stronger might not be able to take it down.
Lin Yun unfolded a shield that had been fused with thews of space. Then, he floated and quietly perceived thews around him. Fortunately, he was already very familiar with thews of space, and hadid a solid foundation. Otherwise, he would be trapped in this state forever.
The Void Owl was still testing prudently. Every time it approached Lin Yun, it pressed closer than thest time, and then escaped again in a hurry before it tried again. It was apparently very prudent, which was the most important reason why it was still alive. It could’ve been killed easily if it had been more reckless.
When the Void Owl was five meters away from Lin Yun, thetter suddenly spouted a spatialw rune, which disappeared the next second. However, the Void Owl was quite taken aback, and didn’t dare to approach in another 15 minutes.
At this moment, countless silver runes were glittering in Lin Yun’s eyes. The twisted light in the space was gradually transforming in his eyes, and getting clearer and clearer, which meant that he was getting used to the space.
The Void Owl didn’t find any danger. Therefore, it summoned its courage and approached again, this time even more cautiously than before. When it was five meters away from Lin Yun, the man spouted another dozen spatialw runes.
The Void Owl escaped again, only to discover that those spatialw runes didn’t seem to work in this environment at all. Itughed at Lin Yun angrily, as if it thought that Lin Yun was incapable of doing anything here.
When it approached again, the Void Owl became bolder, and arrived only three meters away from Lin Yun. Then, it extended its illusionary hand towards Lin Yun, holding a spatial ring.
Lin Yun was the only one who could use the sealed spatial ring, but it seemed to be defenseless in front of the Void Owl. Precious materials, alchemy puppets, meteor pieces, magic tools, and other items were taken out of the ring.
The Void Owl threw all of them aside without any interest. Those precious items floated like garbage. Among them was a magic book that was enshrouded in the power of fire and wind. It was floating not far away behind the Void Owl in the middle of what the Void Owl thought to be garbage.
Everything inside the spatial ring had been retrieved, but the Void Owl didn’t find what it wanted. It let out furious soul waves, and disappeared again before it reappeared next to Lin Yun.
But this time, the Void Owl was even bolder. As if it had confirmed that Lin Yun didn’t have any strength in this ce, it came only one meter away from Lin Yun, who could even touch it by bending and extending his arm.
The Void Owl swiped at Lin Yun again, and stole another spatial ring. Then, it immediately returned to where it was, and tossed out all the items inside the spatial ring, but the creature was obviously running out of patience as it didn’t find what it wanted after such a long time of searching.
In the tremendous amount of “garbage” around it, besides the magic book that was enshrouded in the power of fire and wind, there was also a glistening wheel and a seemingly unimportant ring next to it.
Those pieces of garbage moved slowly. The magic book, the wheel, and the ring all seemed to have been hit by something else, and slowly drifted towards the Void Owl.
On the other side, the crazily glittering silver runes finally dispersed in Lin Yun’s eyes. The world in front of him hadpletely changed. It was a void world.
The world was vast and boundless, but seemed to be only several kilometers high. Above his head and underneath his feet was a huge mirror that reflected the entire universe. Everything here was reversed.
There were some bumps in this world that was only several kilometers high. They looked like the reflections of mountains. There were also reflections of several destes and some weird nes. However, such ne reflections were few. All that Lin Yun could see was just the reflection of one deste ne.
He could even see the reflection of a tornado that was hundreds of meters tall. Everything that had projections in this ce was very influential in normal space. That reversed reflection of the tornado was likely a terrifying void storm that could destroy stars with a massive coverage in the normal space.
The Void Owl stayed a dozen meters away, with a lot of what it thought to be garbage floating around it.
The Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, and the ring were all within two meters of the Void Owl. The ring, in particr, was within one meter of the Void Owl…
Lin Yun looked at the Void Owl and remained calm. He casually watched the Void Owl take out all the items from the spatial ring. Many of the items were actually collected back when Lin Yun was in the Andlusa Kingdom.
When the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel reached a meter away from the Void Owl, the ring was almost touching it.
However, despite its usual prudence, the Void Owl didn’t have any reaction. It hadpletely lost its vignce, and didn’t think that anything would happen to it.
Right when the ring was about to hit the Void Owl, Lin Yun opened his mouth, and spouted a spatialw rune.
Immediately, there was a quake in a range of dozens of meters inside this subspace. The Book of Ten Thousand Mantras spouted out a tremendous amount of fire that enshrouded the Void Owl. From the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, 1,000 spatialw runes erupted, and blocked the cepletely like a cage.
The quake and the cage of spatialw runes, together with the ck mes of destruction, were enough to hold the Void Owl back for a few seconds. It couldn’t possibly escape that fast.
As expected, the Void Owl tried to run the moment it discovered that something was wrong. However, the ring had already touched its shadow-like body, and a ghost wolf emerged from the ring, mauling and biting the Void Owl.
Fierce soul waves spread out, and the Void Owl’s scream echoed in Lin Yun’s head. Controlling the Void Owl, and preventing it from running, Lin Yun finally drifted close. He took out a tremendous number of materials that could block space and mana power. Some of them were absolute instors that the most wealthy and powerful organizations used as foundations of buildings.
Lin Yun assembled those materials into a ball that was almost 10 meters tall. He sealed himself and the Void Owl inside the ball.
Lin Yun narrowed his eyes and smiled. He looked at the Void Owl, which had been caught by Lord Shawn, like a weirdo who was about to kidnap a little girl…
“Buddy, you have two options. Sign this contract, and I’ll release you, or be eaten by Lord Shawn as a great meal.
“You are a soul entity that’s adept at spatial power. There’s a 10% chance that Lord Shawn may acquire spatial power from you, right?”
Fierce soul waves and angry curses flooded into Lin Yun’s head consecutively. Although they were just random sybles, Lin Yun knew exactly what it was trying to say.
Lin Yun watched without moving. Seeing that the Void Owl didn’t obey, Lord Shawn couldn’t hold back anymore. Lord Shawn had just got rid of the identity of Magic Tool Incarnation, but it was also a Soul Walker. Apart from pure mana, only unique soul creatures could serve as Lord Shawn’s food.
Now that Lord Shawn had finally met one, he couldn’t hold back any longer. It stabbed its ws into the Void Owl’s body to stop it from moving. Then, it tore arge piece of shadow off the Void Owl.
A scream echoed in Lin Yun’s head. In no more than one second, the Void Owl had given up…
Lord Shawn was quite unhappy. It bit hard again, and tore another piece of shadow off. At this moment, the Void Owl didn’t dare to think any further. It didn’t read the content of the contract at all, and simply pinned its soul mark on Lin Yun’s contract that was more than a meter long.
After the soul contract was sessfully signed, the paper disappeared into ashes, and light darted from it into Lin Yun and the Void Owl.
Seeing that, Lord Shawn finally reluctantly let go of the Void Owl. It licked its lips as if it had seen the most delicious prey. Its saliva was almost dripping.
The Void Owl shrank into a ck shadow ball again, and seemed a lot weaker. Lord Shawn’s two bites had swallowed at least five percent of its soul power.
Lin Yun canceled the blockage. The Book of Ten Thousand Mantras and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel floated back to him. Both Syudos and Enderfa emerged from the magic tools, and looked at the Void Owl which had shrunk in size.
Enderfa looked at the Void Owl, and yelled disdainfully, “It won’t cooperate until it’s been taught a lesson. How stupid was it to provoke Merlin?”
The next second, the Void Owl vanished, and Lord Shawn immediately cackled gloatingly.
“That idiot signed the contract without even reading it, yet it wants to run? How naive. That contract is the harshest contract that I could think of…”
As expected, the Void Owl appeared a dozen meters away in two seconds. Then, it screamed and rushed back…
It becamepletely obedient after the attempt, and didn’t dare to run away from Lin Yun again. Lin Yun smiled. That contract was made by Lord Shawn for fun. The terms of the contract were so unfair that Lin Yun was almost amused when he read them. Also, the contract was a soul contract that couldn’t be crossed. Any intelligent creature would rather die before they signed such a contract, unless they were downright stupid…
After they signed the contract, they would be Lin Yun’s ves even if they turned into ghosts. To put it simply, after they signed the contract, the core of their souls would be marked by Lin Yun, and they couldn’t break free in their next lives…
Recollecting the items that were floating in the void, Lin Yun observed this subspace again. This was a ce that was supposed to be unreachable for him. Only spatial mages who were familiar with spatialws could touch this ce when they were in level 7 or level 8 of the Heaven Rank. They couldn’t ess the ce freely unless they became as strong as Agalon.
Only the Void Owl, as an amazing soul creature, was capable of doing that. However, it wasn’t really good at fighting. This Void Owl was already level 43, but it was only strong enough to shake Lin Yun’s shield.
Its ultimate trick was to drag its enemy into this subspace. Unfortunately, this trick couldn’t be used every time. It could only be used upon targets who were as small as Lin Yun and didn’t fight back when the space was stable.
The Void Owl was too weak to drag any other void beasts, which were too big, into the subspace and cage them.
Ever since he came to the ce, Lin Yun had known that he would be stranded here for a long time without the Void Owl’s help, at least until he became capable of traveling beyond this space back to the normal space…
Now that he had subdued the Void Owl, he could leave anytime. However, it wasn’t easy to enter this ce. Lin Yun nned to stay here for a while to perceive spatialws. He could learn a lot of things on this unique path.
In this strange subspace, Lin Yun moved on, seeing and learning many different reflections, including void storms, energy storms, and some gigantics, which were just spherical shadows dozens of meters in diameter in this subspace.
It seemed that in this ce, the boundless universe had beenpressed into a sheet of paper and redisyed on it.
When Lin Yun passed by the projection of a that was only one meter tall, Lin Yun suddenly stopped. He had a special feeling, but it was gone quickly.
Lin Yun frowned and stood next to the. He didn’t think what he felt was an illusion. He was sure that the familiar feeling came from the projection of the.
There was a vague connection between them.
Standing next to the’s projection, Lin Yun closed his eyes and spread his senses. After a dozen hours, he had the sense of connection again, although it disappeared quickly.
Hesitating for a moment, Lin Yun extended his hand into the’s projection, which was like an illusionary shadow, and wasn’t concrete at all. Such projections were created because the power or gravity ons influenced the subspace in the shadows.
When Lin Yun extended his hand into the projection, he had the feeling of connection again, but this time it didn’t disappear, and lingered instead. Although the connection wasn’t too powerful, Lin Yun was able to figure out what it was about.
Bloodline connection. Only the bloodline connection carried the power of prating space.
In the heyday of Noscent, the most powerful mages had all left bloodline connections before they set off from Noscent.
He had felt the connection probably because there was a horrifying expert of the Merlin Family on the. It could’ve only been one person who could be detected from such a long distance away.
Santon Merlin!
He had heard that Santon Merlin left for the spatial battlefield, and had been in the boundless void ever since. This had to be indescribably far away from the location where Lin Yun appeared after he left Noscent.
Was Santon Merlin here?
Lin Yun was silent for a moment, but he decided to go there and take a look. Santon Merlin had been in the space battlefield, and he had been sending information back to Noscent. He had to be well-informed.
Lin Yun was just visiting the space battlefield with Agalon anyway. ording to Agalon, the space battlefield was supposed to be peaceful.
However, the moment he set foot on the peaceful space battlefield, he encountered two horrifying beasts. One of them was strong enough to fight Agalon, and the other was a mutated beast.
After he went through all the trouble to kill the mutated beast, a Void Owl that had smelled the blood jumped out of nowhere…
