Chapter 1035: Sudden Downturn in the Situation

Chapter 1035: Chapter 1035: Sudden Downturn in the Situation

That slap immediately left the speaker dazed and confused.

The God of Soul Gathering couldn’t hold back his anger and started cursing.

"You idiot, is your brain made of walnuts? Did you sleep one day without noticing, letting a cockroach crawl inside your head to eat your brain? Do you really believe what this guy said?"

"Ask yourself, what are you? Aren’t you one of the divine beings? Look at you, moved by yourself!"

After being scolded like this by his own boss, the guy finally came to his senses.

Isn’t he an Upper-Rank God? And he’s quite well-regarded among All Celestial Divine Beings, so how did Lin Yi manage to spin him around?

Thinking about this, a feeling of unprecedented humiliation surged in his heart.

Being toyed with in front of so many acquaintances, achieving a momentary downfall in intelligence, what a humiliation.

"Damn kid, how dare you mock the old me; I’ll show you!"

Fight? With what?

The previous intense battle had already exhausted all his Divine Power and Taichu, leaving even his physical strength almost depleted. In such a state, what could he possibly use to fight Lin Yi?

He merely raised his hand and moved a little, only to stagger and fall to the ground, successfully scattering the last bit of dignity he had left.

"Are you okay, senior? Do you need my help?"

Lin Yi’s last remark was filled with sarcasm.

With that, he didn’t just slap the speaker’s face but also all the Upper-Rank Gods present.

"Boy, you’ve got some guts. Instead of escaping at the first chance, you’re planning to stay here. So, are you planning to fight me for the Fu Xi Talisman?"

The God of Soul Gathering’s Divine Power was practically exhausted, but he believed that now he posed no threat to Lin Yi and the other two.

He’s uncertain about Lin Yi, the fearless young bull, but he’s clear about Helben and Morris behind Lin Yi; these two certainly fear him.

After mocking Lin Yi, he immediately turned his gaze to the two behind Lin Yi.

"Although you’re not close to the Immortal King, as part of All Gods, we should protect the interests of All Gods. Yes, the Immortal King designed to use you as sacrifices, and I apologize for that. But it’s all to obtain the Fu Xi Talisman and counter the power of the Four Great Corpse Kings. If you follow this boy’s nonsense, I can overlook it."

"I’m giving you a chance now. If you two join forces to kill this troublesome lad, I can forgive your past actions, how about it?"

"Not only that, you’ll also achieve great merit. You choose whether it’s right or wrong, life or death."

The God of Soul Gathering predicted accurately.

Helben and Morris wavered when they heard his threats.

Thinking about it, having a chance to survive and earn merit under the Immortal King seems like a good choice.

Helping to capture the Fu Xi Talisman is such a meritorious deed. Since their debut, they never achieved such monumental merit.

They knew they couldn’t defeat Lin Yi, but fighting him to buy time for the God of Soul Gathering to recover wasn’t impossible.

Just when the two were about to change their minds, they suddenly recalled something.

Merit? Are you kidding me?

People of the Immortal King’s faction have slaughtered hundreds of fellow divine beings!

Knowing this secret, how can these two have a chance to survive?

Instead of risking the secret getting out by letting Helben and Morris live, wouldn’t it be easier just to kill them?

It was this realization that prompted Lin Yi to slowly withdraw his killer move.

If Helben and Morris indeed made a compromise, Lin Yi wouldn’t hesitate to kill them.

Their actions truly exemplified what it meant to be a step away from heaven or hell.

The moment they voiced the wrong decision, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say Lin Yi would instantly smite them.

"Damn Soul Gathering!"

After angrily shouting, the two drew their Lifebound Divine Artifacts, aiming their weapons’ blades at the God of Soul Gathering.

"You bastard, never willing to change! Already planning to take our lives, yet still wanting to use us. What, are we two brothers such cheap people for you to exploit?"

Seeing his plan exposed, Soul Gathering wasn’t angered; he immediately let out a playful laugh.

"In the Three Realms and Six Paths, only the Immortal King reigns supreme. Have you fools from various factions forgotten it was the Immortal King who brought you to your height today?"

Even now, Soul Gathering is trying to gaslight them.

This infuriated the brothers, prompting them to immediately wield their weapons and slash at Soul Gathering.

As light and shadow flickered, their ruthless attack fell, and blood splattered everywhere.

Thud, thud, thud~

Two heads rolled to the ground.

At this moment, Soul Gathering was breathing heavily.

He really didn’t expect Helben and Morris would dare to go for the kill.

If Soul Gathering hadn’t acted quickly and grabbed two of his confidants to block the blades, Soul Gathering would likely be headless by now.

Witnessing this, the other two confidants of Soul Gathering disregarded their weakness, quickly getting up and retreating.

They were truly scared; this Soul Gathering fellow would do anything for his own interests.

If they stay with him, losing their lives is only a matter of time.

At this moment, Helben and Morris’s Divine Power was still at peak strength.

Seeing they successfully defeated higher-ranked opponents, they were so excited they could hardly hold their weapons.

Usually, in the Divine Realm, their status was average; they wouldn’t dare to confront a Level B Divine Power expert.

Today, they acted and successfully beheaded figures they ordinarily couldn’t reach; the sense of achievement was palpable.

As they watched the heads roll, they couldn’t stop trembling.

Their growing excitement made the God of Soul Gathering’s heart tremble.

"What are you all waiting for? Those who’ve regained Divine Power, hurry and attack! Do you think these two will let us go? I, Soul Gathering, swear here, anyone who kills these two, will be given the leading credit for this operation, and if I break my promise, may my future strength never improve a bit."

And believe it or not, as soon as he spoke, quite a few fearless individuals rolled up their sleeves and prepared to act.

But the result was predictable.

Lin Yi wasn’t holding back then. Wielding the Soul-Breaking Skill, he activated his Thunder Skills, maximizing his speed.

Surrounded by lightning, he burst out terrifying speed, flashing through the ranks of All Gods.

As the blue lightning dispersed, dozens of divine beings fell one after another.

Deep gashes appeared on their bodies, unmistakably fatal wounds.

Strangely, at the moment of their fall, even their soul aura was undetectable.
