The Great Saint has evolved his combat style, adapting to a more flexible and adaptable approach. After realizing his direct methods put him at a disadvantage, he learned to use his opponent's force against them and set traps. During a fight against the Immortal King's Divine Power Avatar, the Great Saint cleverly used his newly acquired skills and Lin Yi's Instant Teleportation to shatter the Avatar's kneecap and counterattack.

Did you think just because you saw where I aimed, that’s where I’m going to hit?

How could that be possible.

After staying in such a dark and desolate place for thousands of years, could the Great Saint have not figured out his own shortcomings?

Integrity is his trait, his pride.

But if this trait and pride can’t play a positive role in battle, why persist with it?

"Haven’t you heard, after three days apart, look at someone with new eyes? Do you still think I’m just that monkey from before, easily defeated by your avatar? It’s not that simple."

At the moment the Great Saint was about to strike, he flipped his wrist, changing the thrust into a sweep.

This strike landed hard on the waist of the Immortal King Avatar.

The Divine Power Avatar has no body, no flesh and blood.

This strike didn’t make it spit blood or anything like that.

Yet it consumed a significant amount of the Divine Power Avatar’s strength.

Staggering and with great effort, the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar barely steadied its stance.

Slowly raising his head, the Immortal King Avatar locked its gaze on Lin Yi.

It seemed able to see the true form of the Great Saint directly through Lin Yi’s body.

Indeed, this monkey has grown.

He discarded things he should not have clung to, becoming ever more perfect now.

Even though he is now just a lingering soul, his power far less than when alive, he still gave the Immortal King this feeling.

"You might as well leave now. If you want to defeat me, come yourself, that would be better."

The look in "Lin Yi’s" eyes revealed confidence. As soon as he finished speaking, he activated the [Light and Shadow Interweaving] skills again, instantly teleporting to the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar.

With a sudden leg kick, he hit the Immortal King’s jaw and fiercely kicked it into the sky.

Before the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar could react, the scene in front of it changed with incredible speed.

I....

Though much of its divine power had been consumed, the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar did not give up resisting and planned to use its remaining power to contest with the Great Saint again.

Even knowing defeat was inevitable, it wanted to display its momentum.

"Don’t bother resisting; you’re too late."

The upper-body Lin Yi of the Great Saint smiled slightly, using Lin Yi’s gravity manipulation skills in perfect harmony with the Divine River Song.

Utilizing super-multiplier anti-gravity, he pulled the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar upward, at the same time, the massive staff formed by the Divine River Song descended from the sky. If this hit solidly, plus the divine power added by the Great Saint, it could completely deplete the divine power of the Immortal King Avatar, causing it to disappear entirely.

Originally thinking the battle would end there, the Great Saint thought he could smoothly resolve everything, but the next moment, he was utterly dumbfounded by what happened.

Under the effect of anti-gravity, the massive staff crashed onto the back of the Immortal King Avatar with even more terrifying force.

Driving it into the ground.

Seeing this scene, even the Eastern War God understood clearly that the Immortal King Avatar couldn’t be retained. If Lin Yi could find time to support the battlefield, the Four Corpse Kings would be put in an even more passive situation.

"You girl! Hesitated for so long, and now in this state, we’re afraid we can’t even launch a sneak attack. What a pity."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but complain.

Luo Bingxin could do nothing about this complaint.

She had so much to consider, with the battlefield changing every instant, how could she make the right decision in such a short time?

Fortunately, the failure of the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar wasn’t too terrible for them. For the moment, it at least wouldn’t make Four Corpse Kings and Luo Bingxin quickly become the targets of All Gods.

Just when everyone thought the battle with the Immortal King Avatar was over, the incredible happened.

The dust cleared, and the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar was pinned to the ground by a gray-black giant staff.

Its eyes were already lifeless.

The Divine Power Avatar could no longer be maintained due to the depletion of divine power, and it turned to dust, vanishing between heaven and earth.

Just as the Great Saint retracted the Divine River Song and was about to return control to Lin Yi, he heard that familiar and detestable voice.

"Hey, monkey, our battle isn’t over yet."

Following the voice, he saw the Immortal King Avatar in the place where it was just struck.

The most unbelievable thing was, at this moment, the avatar showed no signs of having been attacked, smiling as it hovered in the sky, exuding an aura that was no different from when it was first struck.

How could this be!

The Great Saint was utterly dumbfounded.

He couldn’t comprehend why the Immortal King’s avatar was still unscathed.

"You’re well aware that I’ve dominated the Three Realms and Six Paths for many years and reaped the rewards. Defeating my avatar so easily, how could it be that simple?"

With that, the Immortal King’s avatar opened its right hand.

Soon after, a ball emitting divine power fluctuations manifested in the hand of the Immortal King Avatar.

The knowledgeable Great Saint immediately recognized it.

Isn’t this the External Divine Artifact!

And the aura of this External Divine Artifact is extremely powerful, evidently no ordinary item.

Just when Lin Yi and Wo Zhiqi, in the Sea of Divine Consciousness, felt utterly bewildered, the Immortal King’s Divine Power Avatar already made its move.

Its eyes were fixed on "Lin Yi," and across several hundred meters, it reached out towards the space in front of it, and Lin Yi was already in its grasp.

How could this happen!

The Great Saint was stunned!

He had clearly felt no divine power fluctuations around him, yet the Immortal King’s avatar managed to seize him in its hand with one grasp.

At that moment, a sense of powerlessness stretched across the Great Saint’s entire body.

"Monkey, you are as naive as you were thousands of years ago. How can you possibly be a match for me? Back then, I avoided direct confrontation with you, letting others settle it for me. Perhaps leveraging numbers doesn’t seem entirely fair, but that doesn’t matter anymore."

"The end was favorable. I successfully became the ruler of this world, while you stayed in that dark and desolate place for so long. Did it leave you helpless, in despair?"

The words of the Immortal King Avatar infuriated the Great Saint.

Yet now, for some reason, his entire strength seemed to be disarmed by an invisible force completely, and he couldn’t exert any power, not even to perform the simple act of returning his body to Lin Yi.

"It’s over. You and that Wo Zhiqi are done for. If you two joined forces, there wouldn’t have been any chance for my avatar. Yet, since you’re so confident, you can vanish into dust with that confidence of yours."

It’s over!

It’s really over this time!

In the Sea of Divine Consciousness, Lin Yi was scratching his head anxiously.

He never expected that even when the Great Saint made his move, a reversal could occur one day, nor did he expect that an avatar of the Immortal King could possess such combat prowess.
