Lin Yi's body undergoes a drastic transformation as a powerful, just aura overwhelms him, revealing the Great Saint within. This new entity immediately clashes with the Immortal King's Divine Power Avatar, wielding a formidable staff. Meanwhile, the Four Corpse Kings are cornered by the Dark Rising forces and debate whether to prioritize their own power-up or eliminate Lin Yi.

Time flows like water, days and months pass swiftly.

The long years are enough to completely change a person.

The Great Saint of old was so proud, apart from the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand, he disdained using any other weapon.

Even when using his own weapon, the Great Saint believed in a pure fighting style that broke ten thousand techniques with sheer force.

In the words of the Great Saint, when I swing this staff down, either you’re strong enough to knock me over directly, or you can’t resist, and I end your life with one strike.

The simplest and most direct combat method implements the purest strength.

But now, times have changed.

The once pure Great Saint has transformed his combat style; he is no longer as simple or pure, having adapted, which perhaps indicates the changes in today’s Great Saint.

The Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar’s eyes focused, immediately concentrating his divine power at the back of his neck.

Clang!

Even though the Divine River Song appears to be a liquid weapon, it is both firm and flexible.

The instant it hit the back of the neck of the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar, it not only carried a terrifying force but also emitted a clear metallic collision sound.

After being hit by this attack, the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar was not annoyed but cleverly dissipated the force of the Divine River Song’s attack and then erupted with even more terrifying speed.

Before "Lin Yi" could evade, an elbow strike was fiercely hurled at "Lin Yi’s" face.

This is combat technique!

In the Sea of Divine Consciousness, Lin Yi felt quite shocked.

The battle between the Great Saint and the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar is truly top-notch combat.

Through fighting the Immortal King, Lin Yi gained a lot of insights.

Rationally distributing power in one’s skills not only saves energy but also makes it difficult or even impossible for the enemy to perceive it.

Being hit hard by the enemy in combat isn’t entirely disadvantageous; skillfully redirecting that force for one’s use can often have unexpected effects.

This is the combat technique of "Transformation" taught by Wo Zhiqi earlier.

Initially, Lin Yi felt that there were not many scenarios suitable for this technique.

But after this battle, he had a new perspective on this combat technique.

Boom!

A massive shock wave, as if tangible, suddenly exploded at the contact point between "Lin Yi’s" head and the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar.

In the next moment, domineering power erupted from the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar’s knee, sending "Lin Yi" flying heavily.

As Lin Yi’s body passed, stones and soil on the surface were ruthlessly blown away, leaving a groove that wasn’t deep or wide.

However, the groove was long enough.

Concealed by dust, the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar couldn’t clearly see how far Lin Yi had been kicked away.

Yet he could sense that the Great Saint’s aura had flown thousands of meters away and had just stabilized his posture.

"Hehe, monkey, I thought you’d have made some progress after all these years, but you still disappoint me so. When you attack, don’t hold back and give your opponent time to react; thoroughly defeating an opponent in every aspect indeed gives you a perfect victory, but..."

Before the words were finished, the Great Saint’s aura appeared behind him.

Oh no, I forgot one thing.

It’s true the monkey got creative, but the monkey can also use Lin Yi’s skills.

How could I forget that kid has the Instant Teleportation skill?

Behind the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar, the Great Saint pulled his staff back, aiming to stab the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar’s head as if to pierce a hole through it.

At this moment, the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar didn’t take the Great Saint’s maneuver seriously.

He assumed that once he turned around, he could firmly grab the monkey’s staff barehanded.

What is happening!?

As he turned around, a sharp pain flared from his knee.

In a panic, the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar circulated Source Power in his leg, only to discover at that moment that his kneecap had already shattered.

Apart from the pain, his leg couldn’t exert any force at all.

Damn it!

When did this happen?!

Over thousands of years, always staying in a place without even sunlight, even a perfect solution would have had all its solute precipitate, let alone the Great Saint.

How could the Great Saint not figure out where he lost in thousands of years spent in chaos?

For tens of thousands of years, including during the fall of these thousands of years, the Great Saint has always been an upright person, and his combat style was just like his personality, straightforward and simple.

Compared to others with ever-changing skills and interlinked traps in battle, the Great Saint’s combat style was as simple as it could get, placing him at a great disadvantage in battles.

To put it simply, your attributes are high, be it attack or health, the enemy’s attributes are inferior to yours in every way, and you disdain any technique, exchanging blows with the enemy like a target.

However, the enemy can use the terrain, hiding and occasionally jumping out to hit you. This way, even if your attributes completely overwhelm the enemy, you still have a chance of losing.

Through the baptism of time, the Great Saint has shed his nearly obsessive sense of justice and has finally become more flexible and adaptable.

How could he not be aware of the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar’s leverage counterattack? He didn’t dodge, but rather set a trap for the Avatar.

It’s not that the Great Saint couldn’t avoid the attack; being able to react means he could instantly dodge with the Light and Shadow Interweaving skill, but the Great Saint chose not to do that.

Clearly able to dodge, choosing not to dodge, and the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar dared to kick, how could he not suffer?

At the moment he was about to be hit, the Great Saint used his signature skill, Vajra Unbreakable.

Stubbornly withstanding the Immortal King’s Avatar’s attack.

Now, a leg is wasted, ensuring a disadvantage in any confrontation.

While the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar pondered how to deal with the impending attack, he was once again tricked.

Just as he turned around, "Lin Yi’s" figure immediately disappeared.

No need to think; that guy activated the Light and Shadow Interweaving skill again.

This skill is different from the Flash skill.

The Flash skill can only be considered a stage divine skill.

At least in Xia, on Blue Star, no one can crack Lin Yi’s skill.

Beyond Blue Star, the skill’s practicality is greatly reduced.

But the Light and Shadow Interweaving skill is different; with a zero-frame instant teleportation effect, not limited by cooldown, it can instantly dodge enemy attacks while also adjusting one’s output position—truly a divine skill.

Now, finally, turning around, too late to dodge, he could only once again gather divine power at the back of his head to prevent the monkey from piercing his head with a stick.

Yet even so, the Immortal King still underestimated the Great Saint.
