Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: Completely Breaking Through the Defense

The sky is falling!

The God of Soul Gathering clearly knows that Lin Yi’s doppelgänger is a physical one, sharing an incredibly exaggerated similarity in attributes with Lin Yi’s original body, equivalent to throwing two Lin Yis into the mix.

Even though the divine power levels between Lin Yi and Helben Morris don’t differ much, the attributes of their divine powers are vastly different.

Who should be sacrificed has long been calculated by the Immortal King, and for Lin Yi to throw his doppelgänger in there is absolutely detrimental.

In just that moment, the God of Soul Gathering realized that the opportunity he had waited millennia for was destroyed!

And for failing his task, he might face severe punishment from the Immortal King, even to the point of losing his life.

Under such circumstances, how could he maintain his sanity?

Do integrity and structure still matter?

Lin Yi’s operation brought a sudden silence over the secret realm.

Those familiar with the God of Soul Gathering were well aware of the events to come.

This guy always repays vengeance with vengeance; Lin Yi has certainly upset the hornet’s nest this time.

Without the God of Soul Gathering needing to emphasize, others in the Immortal King faction tactfully stepped aside.

Even though there’s only a one-level difference in divine power, they’re unwilling to meddle in the affairs of the Soul Gathering.

Furthermore, even if the task fails, the God of Soul Gathering remains their superior, and by letting him vent his anger, they can leave unscathed.

With the God of Soul Gathering fully unleashing his divine power, the air around became significantly thicker.

Helben and Morris initially thought to persuade Lin Yi not to get excited and obediently hand over the divine artifact before leaving. Now, they’ve completely blocked their own retreat.

The tremendous divine power even suppressed them into silence.

"Brothers, your lives are safe now. Aren’t you happy?"

Helben felt a pang of regret.

If only Lin Yi had lain low and developed for a while, he could’ve secured himself in these Three Realms and Six Paths. Why offend someone totally beyond your league when you’re vulnerable?

"Ah, kid, we appreciate your intentions, but your actions won’t save us, and you’ll get caught up yourself. Now, neither of us needs to become sacrifices, but that doesn’t mean Soul Gathering will let us leave alive."

Lin Yi, appearing indifferent, looked at Soul Gathering.

"What do you say? Does an Upper-Rank God intend to renege?"

Is this person shrewd or foolish?

Call him clever for accurately identifying and interfering with my critical point.

Call him a fool for daring to bring up the wager without fleeing at this moment!

The God of Soul Gathering did not answer Lin Yi’s question.

He raised his hand, condensing the move known as [Shattering Soul Palm], and struck down fiercely on Lin Yi.

The [Eye of All-Seeing] read the base values of the strike.

By Lin Yi’s current defense standards, this hit was enough to kill him ten times over.

However, Lin Yi neither dodged nor evaded, instead gripping the Soul-Breaking Skill with both hands, the Divine River Song behind him starting to move.

"Arrogant!"

After yelling, Soul Gathering struck Lin Yi’s chest with the [Shattering Soul Palm].

Yet, at the moment his palm force poured out, he clearly sensed that the young man before him seemed to turn into a weight stone.

His attack could make it tremble yet couldn’t cause substantial damage.

"Young men aren’t bold, then they’re not young!"

Lin Yi understood the dynamics clearly.

It’s nearly impossible for my "Geng" level divine power to hurt the "Jia" level divine power of Soul Gathering. The only chance is close combat.

Once the [Infinite Ball] took effect, Lin Yi’s strength and physical attack reached infinity.

Only with extreme physical attacks upon Soul Gathering could he be damaged.

Yet, Soul Gathering was too fast for Lin Yi to react—his only option was to attack during the momentary delay after Soul Gathering’s assault.

"Gotcha!"

The [Eye of All-Seeing] analyzed that there’s still some time before the Fu Xi Talisman appeared; Lin Yi needed to hold out for about ten seconds. Once the Fu Xi Talisman emerged, Soul Gathering’s attention won’t entirely focus on him.

Lin Yi had planned everything.

Unfortunately, reality differed from his imagination.

The God of Soul Gathering could become a top Upper-Rank God and cultivate his divine power level to "Jia"; naturally, his combat skills couldn’t be inferior.

The attack delay, a specialized constraint, only applies to ordinary strong men.

To true top-tier powerhouses, attack delays are completely solvable through combat skills.

With a cold laugh, Soul Gathering’s tone held mockery, arrogance, and his overflowing murderous intent towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi’s abilities were remarkably similar to those of a colleague he knew.

Immovable, Unbreakable, Indestructible!

This truly left the God of Soul Gathering astonished.

He had suspected that the colleague secretly taught the young man his signature move.

But this notion was quickly dismissed.

That colleague was powerful, constantly monitored by the Immortal Emperor, leaving no time to teach this brat the move.

The greatest possibility was that this brat Lin Yi was extraordinarily gifted, figuring out advanced cultivation techniques.

What a pity he hasn’t fully matured yet.

Life, still needs to be taken.

Soul Gathering had seen through this.

The Immortal King was indeed that supreme power among the divine.

Yet, even he cannot, at this critical staffing moment, casually and carelessly eliminate a "Jia" level’s top Upper-Rank God.

This fellow Lin Yi has comprehended the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill, mastered the Divine River Song, and shook the gods’ rule with the Heaven-piercing Mantra.

Killing such a rising figure before he flourishes fully offsets faults, perhaps merits even outweigh faults.

With a flip of his right palm, another surge of force erupted towards Lin Yi’s chest, using this recoil to distance from him before attacking anew.

This maneuver enriched Lin Yi’s combat view, making him silently vow: should he depart alive, he’d certainly train this technique in his inner court.

The top Upper-Rank God’s status and mastery over diverse combat skills fostered boundless confidence in Soul Gathering.

Just as he anticipated another assault on Lin Yi, he couldn’t move an inch.

The God of Soul Gathering never imagined encountering an unfathomable situation when clashing with someone with significantly weaker divine power.

Suddenly realizing why he didn’t maintain distance from Lin Yi, he turned to find the Divine River Song silently wrapping around, firmly restraining his actions.

"Do you think I’m right, God of Soul Gathering?"
