After breaking out of the time-space channel again, what came into view was a dark starry sky. Lin Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, looked around, and thought to himself that it was strange, because this starry sky really gave him a very strange feeling.

In a normal starry sky, even if you are in a remote corner, you can still see the light of distant stars.

But here, Lin Tao looked around and saw nothing but darkness, and an unsettling silence.

"Lin Tao, why does this place feel familiar?" With a whoosh, Zhe flew in front of Lin Tao. The metal ball flashed a few times and then spoke.

familiar?

Lin Tao was startled for a moment, then he understood. What Zeng meant by familiarity was obviously that this starry sky was just like the dangerous starry sky in the Adventurer's Association, especially the Darkest Star Region, which was extremely similar.

"Is it because of the convergence of cosmic energy?"

Waves of mental energy burst out from Lin Tao's body again, and he used this mental energy to observe again. Suddenly, he saw a thick layer of cosmic energy covering the surroundings.

"Lin Tao, could that Zhuo be here?" Zhe asked.

Lin Tao did not say anything. After he took a deep breath, the energy fluctuations in his body suddenly shrank, and then spread out towards the starry sky at a terrifying speed.

One thousand meters... ten thousand meters... one hundred thousand meters... one million meters... ten million meters...

In the blink of an eye, Lin Tao's mental energy fluctuations had covered an area of ​​about one million kilometers. The terrifying sense of energy caused the surrounding starry sky to tremble slightly, just like a stone thrown into the water, causing layer upon layer of faint ripples.

"Strange." A million kilometers is not the limit that Lin Tao can cover. Lin Tao couldn't help but think it was strange, because after reaching this range, he could no longer spread the mental energy fluctuations.

"I never thought that our Interstellar Federation actually has such a special star field."

Lin Tao was extremely surprised, and his figure flashed and flew forward for a distance.

"So that's what's happening." Just as Lin Tao moved, he finally understood why the fluctuations of mental energy could only cover about a million kilometers.

It turned out that the range of one million kilometers was not due to Lin Tao's lack of ability, but because he was affected by the cosmic energy of this starry sky, the mental energy fluctuations could no longer spread out.

No matter how many times Lin Tao changed his position, his mental energy fluctuations were always affected by the edge, as if he could no longer penetrate this star field.

It seems that there are only two explanations. One is that Zhuo is hiding in this star field. The second reason is that this place is a backup plan set up by Zhuo to restrain the strong to prevent them from affecting his fusion.

However, since he can directly enter here through the sub-time and space channel, as long as Lin Tao wants to leave, he can definitely leave this starry sky.

Thinking of this, the mental energy fluctuations emanating from Lin Tao suddenly intensified and spread around again. Since it was assumed that Zhuo was hidden in this place, he would definitely escape from here once he sensed the arrival of a strong man.

As long as he moves, Lin Tao will definitely be able to find his whereabouts.

Seeing Lin Tao's appearance, Zhe's core ball stopped making any sound, but slowly flashed with faint light.

The starry sky returned to silence again. Only Lin Tao's body was emitting faint mental energy fluctuations in circles, monitoring the starry sky.

For a long time, there was no movement in the starry sky.

Lin Tao narrowed his eyes. Something seemed to be wrong. If Zhuo Zhen used this place to merge his clones, he would definitely need to collect cosmic energy. But until now, Lin Tao had not noticed any changes in the cosmic energy of this starry sky.

"Is Zhuo not here? Or, he senses my power and dares not show his face?"

Lin Tao was confused.

"Okay, then I'll try again." After a moment, Lin Tao made a decision in his heart, then he stretched out his right hand, clenched a ball of cosmic energy in his palm, and squeezed it hard.

Boom!

A loud bang like an explosion immediately broke out in Lin Tao's palm, forming circles of explosion aftermath, which suddenly spread out in all directions.

That’s right, Lin Tao planned to blast away the cosmic energy around him.

If Zhuo was hiding here, once the cosmic energy was dispersed, he would definitely be exposed. Even if Zhuo was not here, once the cosmic energy was dispersed, Lin Tao would be able to break through this mysterious star field.

"Who? Who are you?"

Just after the energy in Lin Tao's palm exploded, a low voice suddenly appeared in the depths of the starry sky. This voice was not only low, but also carried a powerful mental energy, which made people feel palpitations and fear.

Of course, this is only relative to ordinary people. As for Lin Tao, after hearing this voice, his eyes narrowed: "Is it out?"

Whoosh! With a flash of his body, Lin Tao flew towards the source of the sound. Seeing this, Zeng hurriedly followed behind him.

"Who are you?"

Seeing Lin Tao flying over, the low voice asked word by word, with anger in the voice.

"What? You still don't dare to show up to see my old friend?" In a blink of an eye, Lin Tao had arrived at the source of the voice, but all he saw was darkness, and there was no sign of Zhuo at all.

"Old friend?" The deep voice tightened its tone.

"No, it shouldn't be old friend, but disciple. Zhuo, don't you intend to take another look at my disciple?" Lin Tao said.

“Disciple…disciple…this energy fluctuation…this energy fluctuation…are you—Lin Tao?”

The low voice seemed to be lost in thought. After a long while, he suddenly woke up and called out Lin Tao's name: "Are you Lin Tao? Yes, this kind of energy fluctuation, you are Lin Tao, no! You...your strength..."

The deep voice was exactly Zhuo's voice. He recognized Lin Tao's mental energy fluctuations, but after realizing Lin Tao's strength, he sounded incredulous again.

After all, Lin Tao's strength at this time has reached 200 points.

Calculating the time, it has only been 35 years since Lin Tao left until now, but this does not exclude the influence of the secondary space-time channel. If it is counted, the 35 years here may be only about ten years at most on Lin Tao's side.

However, even if it was really counted as 35 years, what was Lin Tao's strength at that time? According to the strength of a mind energy master, it was at most level three. In just 35 years, he broke through from level three and reached a strength of more than 200 points. Is this really possible? Zhuo couldn't believe it.

However, the mental energy fluctuations emanating from the person in front of him were indeed Lin Tao himself! Moreover, the other person's appearance was exactly the Lin Tao that was deeply rooted in his memory! "You...are you really Lin Tao?" Zhuo asked again in a low voice.

"Zhuo, come out." Lin Tao neither admitted nor denied it, and kept calling Zhuo out.

After arriving here, he had already monitored the surroundings, but he had not been able to detect Zhuo's figure. It can be imagined that Zhuo must have used some kind of ability to hide completely.

"You want me to come out? Are you going to kill me?" Zhuo asked coldly.

Whoosh! Zhe's speed was not slow, but compared with Lin Tao, he was more than a beat slower, and he just managed to catch up.

"Zheng." Zhuo's originally low voice carried a hint of surprise.

After seeing this metal ball, Zhuo Ye finally confirmed Lin Tao's identity, because in this starry sky, only Lin Tao had the existence of the mechanical clan around him.

Moreover, Zhe had had in-depth communication with Zhuo, and both sides were very familiar with each other's aura.

"Zhuo? It's me, I'm Zhe." Hearing Zhuo's voice, Zhe's core sphere flashed in response.

At the same time, a powerful and terrifying energy wave burst out from Lin Tao's body, and in an instant, he completely controlled the starry sky where the source of the sound was.

In order to prevent Zhuo from escaping from this place, Lin Tao tore open several entrances to sub-time and space channels nearby to diffuse the sub-time and space energy that escaped from them.

However, even Lin Tao did not expect that after the sub-time and space channel was opened, the sub-time and space energy that gushed out from it would immediately expose Zhuo's figure.

What comes into view is an extremely large and desolate planet.

The surface of the planet is pitch black and due to its direct contact with the universe, countless pits and even cracks have formed on the surface of the planet, as if it will split apart at any time and turn into countless pieces of gravel.

However, the size of this planet is only relative to Lin Tao. If compared with other planets, the dark planet in front of him is not even as big as the moon.

How to say it?

The dark planet before our eyes looked like a planet that was shrinking over time.

"You...you...Lin Tao, what are you going to do?" After his figure was suddenly exposed due to the secondary space-time energy, Zhuo was shocked, and his originally low tone also carried a hint of fear.

Of course, what frightened Zhuo even more was Lin Tao's strength.

Raising his hand to open a time-space channel is something that even Zhuo, who is at the peak of his strength, may not be able to do. Otherwise, he and Guda would have left this starry sky long ago after being hunted by the Three-Eyed Man.

What's more, Zhuo is in the fusion stage at this time, and his strength is even weaker.

"Tsk tsk? How did it become like this?" Zhe was surprised.

Lin Tao narrowed his eyes but said nothing, his gaze fixed on the planet.

"Zhuo, this is not your real body, right?" Lin Tao suddenly said softly.

"Not the real body?" Zhe was surprised again. After the metal ball flashed a few times, it shot out a ray of light with a hissing sound and fell straight towards the planet in front of it.

Lin Tao did not stop it, and Zhuo, who was so frightened that he lost his composure, did not even block the ray of light.

After the light shot into the planet, Zeng also shot out a ray of light beside Lin Tao, and in an instant it turned into a light curtain, showing the interior of the dark planet in front of him.

Lin Tao glanced at the light curtain and saw that the planet displayed on the light curtain was actually a hollow planet.

No, rather than being hollow, the dark planet in front of us has simply absorbed nearby stardust and debris to deliberately form a planet-like surface.

As the beam of light shot by Zhe passed through the outer shell, the true situation inside was finally revealed. Five human figures emitting faint mental energy fluctuations were seen sitting cross-legged, back to back, in the center.
