Chapter 1025: The Drunkard’s Purpose Lies Not in the Wine

Chapter 1025: Chapter 1025: The Drunkard’s Purpose Lies Not in the Wine

Even though they belonged to opposing factions, the people on the side of All Gods still gave Lin Yi considerable recognition.

Even if there was an absolute gap in power between the two, they couldn’t deny that once Lin Yi reached Level B of Divine Power, he would have a significant chance against the God of Soul Gathering.

The God of Soul Gathering also held Lin Yi in high regard.

But now, he couldn’t afford to lose.

Faced with the barrage from Lin Yi and his clones, he had to constantly maintain his defensive stance, not allowing Lin Yi to seize any opportunity.

He could take a young opponent seriously, give it his all, but absolutely could not afford to lose!

The highest tier of Divine Power formed a barrier enveloping the God of Soul Gathering entirely.

Even if used for defense, the highest level Divine Power was like the sharpest spear in the world, shattering everything it touched.

Hundreds of Forbidden Curses from Lin Yi and his clones fell, appearing apocalyptic.

Those caught within would likely be pulverized.

But the moment they touched the God of Soul Gathering’s shield, all the Forbidden Curses were ruthlessly shattered.

The God of Soul Gathering stood immovable like an invincible blade.

"Kid, as someone who possesses Divine Power, you should know that in the face of Divine Power, Source Power is insignificant. Your attacks, without Divine Power and Taichu, stand no chance of harming me, so why would I get angry and develop a killing intent towards you?"

The moment those words left his mouth, the God of Soul Gathering sensed something was off.

Indeed, if Lin Yi, as a possessor of Divine Power, knew the absolute suppression Divine Power has over Source Power, why would he futilely cast so many Forbidden Curses?

Did this kid never think to anger me into attacking him?

So, why would he attack me?!

Could it be!

The boy’s intentions were not on me!

The true Lin Yi grinned:

I admit, in a fair fight, I could never gain any advantage over you by myself, but angering you is not just about making you get hurt.

Indeed!

This kid! Courting death!

The God of Soul Gathering was extremely experienced in battle.

With just a single exchange, he roughly understood Lin Yi’s intentions:

Lin Yi’s observation skills were extremely sharp. He likely understood the secret of the golden giant lake before the fight began.

He knew there was a particular ritual for the sacrifices. If the sacrifices weren’t right, it would be like one side of a deal offering the wrong goods, inevitably leading to the buyer’s displeasure.

As such, he specifically summoned clones in physical form to throw them into the golden giant lake, disrupting the God of Soul Gathering’s plan to retrieve the Fu Xi Talisman.

"You dare, kid!"

At this moment, the God of Soul Gathering was broken.

Indeed, he had developed a killing intent towards Lin Yi!

For the Divine River Song to smoothly come into his possession, he could tolerate Lin Yi’s rudeness,

he could even tolerate Lin Yi attacking him, spitting on his face.

But he could not tolerate Lin Yi disrupting his plan.

Taking the External Divine Artifact wasn’t just about completing a mission.

The God of Soul Gathering had waited six thousand years for this External Divine Artifact.

Now that the opportunity finally arose, how could he let Lin Yi ruin it?

What bets, what character, what notions of an Upper-Rank God, none of it mattered now.

The God of Soul Gathering had only one goal now, to kill Lin Yi, nullify his clones, ensuring the Fu Xi Talisman’s emergence is unhindered.

The God of Soul Gathering activated all his Divine Power, exploding with an incredibly terrifying speed towards Lin Yi’s original body.

"Kid, if you dare play games with me, I’ll kill you!"

His hand, like an eagle claw, filled with divine power, aimed straight for Lin Yi’s head.

If this hit, the God of Soul Gathering was one hundred percent sure he could crush Lin Yi’s skull.

If that happened, Lin Yi’s life would end instantly.

In this way, all of Lin Yi’s clones would disappear instantly.

This time, the God of Soul Gathering miscalculated.

His speed was indeed fast and mighty, and Lin Yi couldn’t react fast enough.

But Lin Yi could leverage the skill [Light and Shadow Interweaving] to instantaneously put kilometers between his original body and the God of Soul Gathering.

By the time the strike missed, the God of Soul Gathering realized that Lin Yi had somehow moved several kilometers away in the opposite direction.

"Damn kid, die!"

"Certain Death! Ice Kill!"

It was mentioned before, the God of Soul Gathering was a user of the Eternal Law.

His control over the Eternal Law had reached an unsurpassed level.

Merging his divine power with the Power of Law, he instantly locked down Lin Yi’s divine power several kilometers away.

Immediately after, he shot an ice shard into Lin Yi’s chest, causing it to explode and instantly kill Lin Yi.

The God of Soul Gathering accomplished all this without even blinking.

Moreover, before making a move, he had frozen the space around Lin Yi’s clones, significantly impacting their movement speed.

Even trying to rescue the original body would be a dream.

Just as the God of Soul Gathering thought he could instantly kill Lin Yi, Lin Yi’s figure disappeared again, reappearing above his two clones.

"Sorry, you lost."

Indeed, within Lin Yi’s body, whether it was divine power or Taichu, even the most basic Source Power was firmly restricted, equivalent to losing the ability to act.

But Lin Yi still had his clones.

Any of his clones could use the skill [Light and Shadow Interweaving] to instantly transfer the original body.

"What, Lord God of Soul Gathering plans to cheat? Didn’t we agree that once you had the intention to kill me, I would be let go? Now it seems like you want to put me to death?!

As Lin Yi’s words fell, two heavy punches slammed down upon his clones.

His two clones were launched like cannonballs toward the golden lake.

With a splash, a splash!

The two clones were already close to the lake’s surface. Even if the God of Soul Gathering’s speed was fast, and his skills didn’t require chanting, he couldn’t stop Lin Yi’s actions, only watch helplessly as Lin Yi’s two clones fell into the golden giant lake.

The image registered into his mind, not only leaving the God of Soul Gathering dumbfounded, but even the All Gods hidden in the shadows felt the world crumbling.

Bringing back the Fu Xi Talisman was an order from above!

Previously, they thought the power gap between Lin Yi and the God of Soul Gathering was vast. Even if the God of Soul Gathering wanted to play, it wouldn’t affect the plot’s development. They just watched the contest unfold, munching on snacks.

But now, with Lin Yi’s move, they were completely unprepared. By the time the two clones entered the golden lake, it was too late for anything.
