In the dense primeval forest, the Young Man wearing a grass skirt sat slumped on a giant rock, gazing mournfully at the crooked and messy woods ahead.
An hour had passed since Lin Yu discovered this Barrier.
When he first found this Invisible Barrier, he thought it was some kind of Magic Barrier or Energy Shield, but after various attempts, he had to admit that this thing was definitely not as simple as just a barrier or shield.
Firstly, the Invisible Barrier possessed no energy whatsoever, and his Inner Universe showed no special reaction to it.
All Physical Attacks and energy attacks not only failed to damage the Barrier, but they passed right through it cleanly, as if the thing didn't exist at all.
In other words, this Barrier was targeting only Lin Yu!
...But how could that be possible?
Lin Yu was equivalent to a Dimensional Demon God; even the world itself had to yield before him. How could a mere Barrier possess the power to stop him?
Thinking of this, Lin Yu shifted his focus, turning his gaze toward his Inner Universe.
After a period of self-examination and close inspection, Lin Yu finally realized belatedly that this so-called Barrier did not exist at all!
The reason he couldn't leave this place was actually a form of locking and restraint imposed by his Inner Universe.
As mentioned before, this world was extremely resistant to Lin Yu's entry.
Although the world itself chose to yield under Lin Yu's unreasonable insistence, this yielding was by no means absolute, and Lin Yu's Main Body had not fully entered this world.
Simply put, only his external body had entered this world; his Inner Universe remained in the Void, external to the world.
This state was extremely abstract and difficult to describe in words.
In short, Lin Yu was currently in a state of 'as if entering'—a state of 'entering' and 'not yet entered.'
Even though he could interact with this world in the form of a Human, in essence, his Main Universe was still barred from entry, never having truly entered the world before him.
As for that Invisible Barrier, it was actually the Main Universe outside the world imposing restriction and locking upon itself.
Lin Yu walked a circle along the Barrier over the past hour and discovered that he could only move within a ten-mile radius centered on the spatial Coordinate of his entry into the world.
"Damn it, I knew it wasn't that simple!"
Lin Yu smashed the giant rock beneath him with a punch, a look of indignation flashing across his handsome face.
He finally understood why this world had allowed him to enter.
In a way, the locking imposed by the Main Universe was this world's suppression of him.
After all, Lin Yu was just an Ordinary Person before his transmigration; he didn't know how to resolve this kind of suppression and restraint.
But it didn't matter; his Rank was established, and he was immortal and practically invincible. He had plenty of time to study it properly.
It's just changing to a Cage, right?
At least the environment is better, and he has Native creatures to talk to. Isn't that much better than the dead silence of the Void?
Lin Yu comforted himself for a while and quickly chose to accept Reality.
As long as he wasn't forced to drift in the Void anymore, everything else was negotiable!
With that thought, Lin Yu leaped down to the ground, looking back at the forest behind him.
Since he chose to accept Reality, this ten-mile radius of activity was now the Territory of King Lin!
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, the ground beneath Lin Yu cracked, and his body leaped high, heading toward the dense forest ahead.
As a Great Being comparable to a Dimensional Demon God, Lin Yu's power surpassed the comprehension of an Ordinary Person.
Back when he was studying that Barrier, he had already discovered that aside from energy absorption, this physical body itself possessed countless divine mysteries commensurate with his Rank.
Taking physical strength as an example, Lin Yu's power could no longer be measured by simple data.
To be precise, as long as he started to 'move,' any power lower than that of a Single Universe could not stop his actions.
Just like the previously discovered energy absorption, Lin Yu termed this divine mystery as Unstoppable.
However, being Unstoppable in motion did not mean he could destroy the world with one punch.
In fact, Lin Yu's direct destructive capability toward the environment was negligible.
He could easily lift objects weighing hundreds of millions of tons using his divine mystery, but he couldn't shatter a mountain with one punch; at most, he could pass his arm through the rock without resistance.
This was because every move he made represented the Inner Universe within him.
All actions were interactions between two universes, rather than a conventional outpouring of power.
Even so, Lin Yu remained an invincible existence in this world.
Take the current situation: a massive creature, over thirty meters long, covered in thick Earth Yellow Scales, resembling a small mountain when running, appeared utterly weak and powerless before the seemingly small Lin Yu, unable to shake his figure in the slightest.
"Roar!!"
A deafening sound wave spread out in a ring.
The beast, weighing hundreds of tons, exerted all its strength, roaring as it charged forward.
The surrounding beasts trembled at its roar, and the earth shook beneath its feet.
In the forest spanning a thousand meters, only the Young Man facing the charge remained completely unmoved. He simply raised his right hand slightly and placed it on the thick, several-meter-long Horn above the creature's nose.
Instantly, kinetic energy and impact force poured continuously into his body.
The Horned Beast's imposing charge seemed to hit cotton, causing no ripple whatsoever.
Lin Yu rested one hand on the Horn, looking at the kinetic energy package that was still pawing the ground, trying to knock him away, while chattering:
"If I'm not mistaken, you are the king of this Territory, right?"
"Don't try to deny it; I noticed your scent everywhere in the forest within a ten-mile radius!"
"If you don't speak, I'll assume you admit it. Let me see... Scales, a single horn, a lizard head, and four hooves. Tsk tsk, you little thing are quite unique in appearance. How did you evolve?"
"Judging by your size, you don't look like a creature that could evolve in a normal natural world. You look more like a Magical Beast from some fantasy work—wait, what is this?!"
Lin Yu stared ahead with astonishment.
The Horned Beast, realizing its charge was fruitless, actually opened its Bloody Mouth, condensed a ball of yellow light from its Throat, and then spat it out fiercely.
"Boom—"
The yellow light sphere shot out, transforming into a beam of light over a meter in diameter that struck Lin Yu.
The violent energy tore up the ground, agitated the air, and kicked up a cloud of dust.
Seeing this scene, a trace of cruel joy appeared in the Horned Beast's massive, Earth Yellow vertical pupils.
But soon, its gaze shifted to an unconcealable terror.
Looking where it was staring, streaks of Earth Yellow light poured into the Young Man's body from the dust cloud, like rivers flowing into the sea.
Before long, the yellow light vanished entirely. Only the half-naked Young Man remained standing in place, completely unharmed, not even the grass skirt around his waist was damaged.
"Whoa~ Interesting. What kind of energy is that?"
Lin Yu brushed off the non-existent dust and stared excitedly into the Horned Beast's eyes, saying, "Spiritual Energy, Battle Qi, or Magic, or perhaps some local specialty I don't know—hey, hey, don't run!"
The Horned Beast was shocked by the incomprehensible sight. It retreated two steps in Fear, then turned and began to Rush.
Fortunately, the creature was too large and not agile enough. Lin Yu only needed to mobilize a tiny bit of energy to catch up to it from behind, twisting his body mid-air to deliver a heavy kick onto the Scales on its Back.
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, the Horned Beast fell to the ground with a Wail, kicking up a massive cloud of dust.
Lin Yu descended from the sky, landing on the Horned Beast, and looked in surprise at the dented Earth Yellow Scales beneath his feet.
"Not bad, quite sturdy!"
He praised it twice, then walked to the creature's head, looking down at the yellow eye pupil larger than his own head, and said calmly:
"Surrender, or... I'll beat you up before you surrender!"
