Lin Yi successfully used Divine River Song's abilities to fight against multiple opponents, but was caught off guard when the Drought Demon detonated a fireball. The explosion killed five elite generals, but Lin Yi survived using the Unbreakable skill.

The damage immunity effect of the skill [Unbreakable] reaching 35% is already quite respectable.

So why can Lin Yi still stand there completely unaffected?

That brings up the Elemental Affinity Skill within Lin Yi’s [Indestructible Dharma Body].

[Indestructible Dharma Body]

[Type: Passive Skill]

[Tier: Tier Seven]

[System: General System]

[Effect 1: When you take damage, 40% of the damage is instead deducted from your Mana Value.]

[Effect 2: When you suffer elemental damage, you gain additional damage reduction for that element based on your affinity with it, at least +10% and up to +100%.]

[Current Elemental Damage Reduction:]

[Fire: 95%]

[Ice: 95%]

[Storm: 95%]

[Effect 3: When you suffer a single instance of lethal damage that would reduce your Life Value to zero, that damage will be borne entirely by your Mana Value.]

[After this effect is triggered, your Mana Value is reduced to zero, and your Life Value is reduced to 1 point.]

[This effect can only be triggered once every 30 days, remaining triggers: 1]

After so many battles against powerful enemies, Lin Yi has more or less figured out the calculation mechanics of damage reduction and damage amplification.

Damage reduction buffs are stacked by percentages.

In other words, any damage that lands on Lin Yi will be repeatedly multiplied by his various damage reduction Skills, continually shrinking.

When you have multiple damage reduction Skills, stacking percentages directly is actually stronger than multiplying the percentages.

But Lin Yi’s base stats are so high that it hardly matters.

Mainly, the Drought Demon’s Skills are all Fire Element.

Lin Yi’s damage reduction against Fire Element is a whopping 95%. Just this single Skill alone is enough to make the Drought Demon’s attacks on Lin Yi basically meaningless.

On top of that, with Effect 1 of [Indestructible Dharma Body] giving 40% damage immunity, the damage that can actually land on Lin Yi is only 3% of the original value.

And that’s still not the end of it. Add in the 35% forced damage immunity from [Unbreakable], and the final damage Lin Yi takes is only 1% of the Drought Demon’s original damage.

That number sounds absurdly exaggerated. Combined with Lin Yi’s already impressive Defense and the Fu Xi Talisman’s partial conversion of Skill damage, the damage that this one strike from the Drought Demon does to Lin Yi boils down to two words—

Negligible!

Lin Yi’s Divine Power Level is indeed not high; calling that his weak point is perfectly fair.

But when it comes to the most basic attribute panel, Lin Yi is truly unbeatable.

Across the entire Three Realms and Six Paths, those who can surpass Lin Yi in pure attributes are vanishingly few.

You have to understand, at this moment, the blood of the divine dragon is still flowing in Lin Yi’s veins.

Don’t be fooled by how faint this Bloodline Power seems; the boost it brings is genuinely beyond imagination.

Add in all the various Law Items and Treasures of Heaven and Earth he’s obtained, and Lin Yi’s base panel is completely beyond comparison with any Upper-Rank God.

Yes, that Fireball from the Drought Demon just now did burn off a certain amount of Lin Yi’s HP.

But with [Grand Celestial Immortal Skill] granting immunity to all negative statuses, he doesn’t need to worry at all that the debuffs from her Skills will interfere with the healing of his injuries.

This is where Lin Yi is fundamentally different from other top experts.

Other experts, when they’re hit, have to factor in the negative effects from Skills, and only after they’ve dispelled those debuffs can they start repairing their injuries and restoring their HP.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, doesn’t need to worry at all.

Whatever his natural recovery speed is, that’s exactly how fast he recovers.

That Fireball just now probably dealt around 30% of his maximum Life Value in damage, but that little bit of damage is nothing in the face of his absolute recovery capability.

In just the brief moment the Drought Demon spent in shock, Lin Yi’s injuries had already completely healed; both his Blood Bar and Mana Value had returned to peak status.

Seeing this scene, the Drought Demon truly couldn’t hold it together.

What did all her scheming just now amount to?

On the Eastern War God’s side, he was already swearing furiously—five Upper-Rank Gods got caught in the blast, so you can imagine his rage.

If the attack had at least inflicted substantial damage on Lin Yi and thus neutralized the threat of the Fu Xi Talisman, that would still have been acceptable to the Eastern War God.

But now Lin Yi is standing there untouched. How is he supposed to take this?

"Drought Demon, are you insane? Striking my people like that—are you saying you don’t intend to cooperate anymore?"

"A mute eating coptis—bitter but unable to speak" was perfectly embodied in that moment.

How was the Drought Demon supposed to explain this? What could she even say?

She conjured a Fireball; your five subordinates weren’t even at the epicenter of the blast and still got instantly killed by it. But Lin Yi?

The kid was right in the center of the explosion, yet not only did he survive, he’s fully recovered now. How do you explain that?

Say that your five men are all useless trash who can’t even withstand one move?

"Drought Demon, I’ll aid you!"

The other Four Corpse Kings hadn’t focused all their attention on Lin Yi, but they could more or less tell just how troublesome this kid was.

In that instant, they couldn’t spare the thought that the Dark Rising experts around them might take this chance to launch a pursuit and put them in a passive position.

Relying on his overwhelming Defense, Jiang Chen immediately charged toward Lin Yi’s clone.

Watching from the shadows, Luo Bingxin felt a surge of complicated emotions.

Clearly not that long ago, Lin Yi’s strength hadn’t even been enough to fight her head-on, and yet in such a short span of time, how had this kid already reached the point where he could tank the Drought Demon’s moves without taking any damage?

Luo Bingxin was so absorbed in her puzzlement that she didn’t notice the danger silently closing in.

Yes, the battlefield was indeed chaotic, and Luo Bingxin could restrain her aura and hide in the sky above the battlefield without being discovered by others.

But who is Lin Yi? He’s the owner of [Eyes of Golden Flame] and [Eye of All-Seeing].

After suppressing his own aura, Lin Yi carefully scanned the battlefield for a while and easily locked onto Luo Bingxin’s position in the sky.

Catch the ringleader first to catch the bandits.

Lin Yi doesn’t know what exactly Luo Bingxin used to bring the four Corpse Kings under her command, but he can be sure of one thing: if the four Corpse Kings realize that Luo Bingxin is in danger, they’ll definitely panic. Once their formation is disrupted, he can seize the opportunity to unleash a devastating strike on the Eastern War God’s faction.

The Four Corpse Kings and the forces brought by the Eastern War God complement each other.

One side possesses nearly invincible Defense, while the other has highly versatile abilities and can provide effective support.

Once that balance is broken, and one side suffers a fatal blow, the Dark Rising Organization’s combat power will be fully unleashed.

At that point, with the battlefield situation completely opened up, Lin Yi will have even more confidence in taking down one of the World Bosses.

The rewards he’ll receive will definitely be extremely generous.

They might even be enough to push Lin Yi’s strength up another tier, freeing him from passive situations from then on.
