A bed that traverses countless worlds

Beyond the stone gate lay not the magnificent splendor of one might have imagined, but a vast, empty square with an ancient altar standing in the center.

The air was heavy, as if frozen, making it hard to breathe.

"Damn, this atmosphere is a bit creepy!" Kong Yang rubbed his arms and couldn't help but complain.

Lin Yu nodded. He also felt this strange sense of oppression, which was stronger than any danger he had encountered before.

"It seems that this is the island's true secret."

As soon as the words were spoken, the space around the square began to distort, as if an invisible hand was kneading the world.

On the altar, strange runes flickered, and a powerful energy wave spread out, pressing down on the two people so much that they could hardly stand.

"Old Lin, what's going on? The space is about to collapse!" Kong Yang exclaimed.

Lin Yu's expression turned solemn. This power far exceeded their imagination, as if it came from another dimension.

"It seems that the last line of defense left by the island lord is more troublesome than we imagined."

They tried to take a step forward, but found that every step was extremely difficult, as if they were stuck in a quagmire.

The distortion of space became increasingly violent, and the surrounding scenery became blurred and unpredictable, like a kaleidoscope.

"Boss, I feel like my bones are going to be crushed!" Kong Yang gritted his teeth, struggling against the terrifying pressure.

Despite his physical discomfort, Lin Yu looked around, trying to find a clue, and his gaze finally fell on the runes on the altar.

These runes appear to be some kind of ancient script, radiating a mysterious light.

"Old Kong, look at those runes, don't they look a lot like the ones we found in the underwater cave?" Lin Yu said, pointing to the altar.

Kong Yang squinted and observed carefully, then exclaimed in surprise, "It really is! Could it be..."

Just then, the runes on the altar shone brightly, and an even more powerful force erupted, blasting the two of them away.

Lin Yu felt everything go black before his eyes and he lost consciousness...

"Old Lin! Old Lin! Wake up!" In his dazed state, Lin Yu heard Kong Yang's anxious shouts.

He slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on the ground, with Kong Yang looking at him with a worried expression.

"I...what's wrong with me?"

"You were stunned! Luckily I was far away, so I was only slightly affected," Kong Yang said, still shaken.

Lin Yu struggled to sit up, feeling sore all over, as if he had been run over by a truck.

“Those runes…”

"Those runes seem to have been activated!" Kong Yang pointed at the altar, his voice tinged with fear. "Look!"

Lin Yu looked in the direction Kong Yang was pointing and saw that the runes on the altar were flashing erratically, and the surrounding space was distorted even more violently, with cracks even appearing, as if leading to another world...

"Could this be... the entrance to Sky City?" Lin Yu murmured to himself, a glint of light flashing in his eyes...

The runes on the altar spun wildly, the spatial rift grew larger and larger, and a powerful suction force pulled Lin Yu and Kong Yang into it.

A thought flashed through Lin Yu's mind, and he remembered the strange-looking thing he had obtained in the underwater cave—a stone covered with bizarre patterns.

The system indicated that this thing was called a "chaos stone" and could absorb and convert energy.

"Go for it!" Lin Yu shouted, took out the Chaos Stone, and smashed it fiercely at the rune core in the center of the altar!

"Holy crap! Old Lin, are you crazy?!" Kong Yang was terrified.

The moment the Chaos Stone collided with the Rune Core, it burst forth with dazzling light, causing the entire space to tremble violently.

The runes on the altar dimmed instantly, and the spatial rift began to close slowly.

The terrifying suction force disappeared, and Lin Yu and Kong Yang fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough... Luckily, I made the right bet." Lin Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, thankful that he was lucky and had a tough life.

Suddenly, a chilling voice echoed across the square: "Who dares to disrupt my formation!"

An old man dressed in a black robe with a withered face appeared out of nowhere. His eyes were sinister as he stared intently at Lin Yu and Kong Yang.

"Island owner?!" Kong Yang exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmph, two ants dare to challenge my authority!" The island lord snorted coldly, raised his hand and waved, a black lightning bolt struck towards Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was prepared. The Chaos Stone once again came into play, absorbing the energy of the black lightning and then transforming it into a pure force that rebounded back.

"What?!" The island lord's expression changed drastically, not expecting his attack to be so easily neutralized.

Lin Yu sneered, "Old man, your era is over!" He manipulated the Chaos Stone, continuously transforming the absorbed energy into powerful attacks, which he launched at the island lord.

Kong Yang was equally formidable. Although he did not possess the same strength as Lin Yu, he was agile and, in coordination with Lin Yu's attacks, constantly harassed the island lord.

The island owner was overwhelmed and exhausted, his heart filled with shock and fear.

He never imagined that these two seemingly unremarkable young men would possess such immense power.

"Impossible! This is impossible!" the island lord roared, his eyes filled with resentment.

Lin Yu pressed his advantage, delivering a powerful punch that sent the island lord flying, crashing heavily to the ground, his fate unknown.

"Old Lin, you're awesome!" Kong Yang shouted excitedly.

Looking at the island lord lying on the ground, Lin Yu felt no joy, but rather a strange unease.

He looked up at the sky and murmured to himself, "Aisha..."

Lin Yu's heart softened; Aisha was still waiting for his triumphant return on the shore!

Thinking of that expectant little face, a warm feeling welled up in my heart, which also transformed into boundless strength.

His eyes narrowed, and his attacks became even more ferocious, each move aimed directly at the island lord's vital points.

"Old man, prepare to die!"

"Old Lin, go for it! Take him down!" Kong Yang shouted from the sidelines, just like a cheerleader. Although he couldn't be of much help, he couldn't lose in terms of morale!

Lin Yu's conviction also inspired him, making him work even harder to cooperate with Lin Yu's attacks, and occasionally he could even launch a sneak attack to harass the island lord.

The island lord was being forced to retreat steadily, and it seemed he was about to collapse. Suddenly, he roared to the sky, "Despicable villains, how dare you use such underhanded methods! I will make you suffer a terrible death!" Black energy surged around him, and a powerful wave of energy spread out, causing Lin Yu and Kong Yang to retreat repeatedly.

"Holy crap! They're about to unleash a powerful attack!" Kong Yang exclaimed.

"What are you afraid of! Watch how I deal with him!" Lin Yu was not afraid at all. The Chaos Stone in his hand emitted a dazzling light, like a small sun, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

The island lord used every trick in the book, employing all sorts of bizarre spells, but Lin Yu managed to deflect them all.

The Chaos Stone acts like a universal converter, absorbing and transforming the island lord's attacks before reflecting them back, leaving the island lord utterly powerless to retaliate.

With a loud "Boom!", the island lord was sent flying by Lin Yu's punch, crashing heavily to the ground and never getting up again.

"Done!" Lin Yu clapped his hands, looking nonchalant, as if he had just done a trivial thing.

With the island owner's downfall, the entire island underwent a dramatic transformation.

The mist that had shrouded the island dissipated, revealing its true appearance.

A powerful force surged from the depths of the island and was absorbed by Lin Yu, greatly enhancing his strength.

"Old Lin, you're awesome!" Kong Yang excitedly hugged Lin Yu, looking at him with admiration like a little fanboy.

Lin Yu smiled slightly and looked up at the sky, where a huge city floated in the clouds, radiating a mysterious light.

“Sky City…” he murmured to himself, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Next, that's it," Lin Yu said, turning to Kong Yang.

Kong Yang also looked up at the Sky City, swallowed hard, and said, "Hopefully it won't cause as many problems as this wretched island..."

Lin Yu smiled and took out a uniquely shaped flying vehicle from his system space.

"Hold on tight!"

"Holy crap! What is this thing?!" Kong Yang's eyes widened.

Lin Yu did not answer, and started the aircraft...
