Lin Yi betrays the Dragon Queen, stabbing her from behind and incapacitating Tremble. While Blood Dance and Hekong try to save the Dragon Queen, Lin Yi joins the Immortal King's Divine Power Avatar on the battlefield and prepares to cast a Forbidden Curse.

[All targets deprived of speed or buffs by the Land of Deathly Silence receive an additional 300% Ice Attribute damage when taking damage]

[Current selectable range for the Land of Deathly Silence: 10 meters to 600 meters]

[Current duration of the Land of Deathly Silence: 300 seconds]

[If you set yourself as the center of the Land of Deathly Silence, the range of the Divine Skill field will expand to three times, and the duration will be extended to three times]

The main body of Lin Yi used the [Hair Clone] to create twelve doppelgangers that simultaneously used this Land of Deathly Silence skill.

Under the effect of [Chaos at the Beginning]’s Multi-Casting, the [Land of Deathly Silence] skill immediately covered the entire battlefield.

After the Hero Level combat power withdrew from the battlefield, the suppression of the Four Corpse Kings by the Dark Rising members began to gradually weaken. The Corpse Kings could always make a strong counterattack at critical times, causing the casualty ratio of Dark Rising members to gradually increase. Unlike the Hero Level combat power, they had no time to pay attention to sudden changes on the battlefield.

In battles with world bosses of the Corpse King level, they must focus all their attention to ensure their own safety.

It was precisely this excessive focus on attention that made them fail to notice that the surrounding temperature had started to gradually decrease.

Each of them widened their eyes as the speed of the Four Corpse Kings, in their view, began to become faster and faster, so fast that they couldn’t keep up at all.

Only when they were sent flying and the scenery in front of them rapidly changed did they understand.

It wasn’t that the action speed of the Four Corpse Kings increased, but their own speed unknowingly decreased, even reduced to zero.

It wasn’t that the Dark Rising members were careless, they just trusted Lin Yi too much. With the assistance of Lin Yi’s clones, they gained advantage after advantage in battles against the Corpse Kings, and they had no defenses against Lin Yi, whether it was his Source Power or Divine Power.

As a result, the masters of Dark Rising did not deploy any defense against Lin Yi’s [Land of Deathly Silence], nor did they use their own Divine Power or Power of the Primordial to resist, which led to this outcome.

By the time they reacted, the [Land of Deathly Silence] covering the entire battlefield had completely confined their actions.

The stronger ones who reacted quickly immediately activated their own Divine Power to resist the restriction of Eternal Power.

Those with Divine Power Level at B or C grade were indeed able to break free from Lin Yi’s restraint in a short time, but those with lower strength and Divine Power Level, who were not much different from Lin Yi, were in trouble.

When strength is similar, once you fall into a disadvantage, it’s challenging to recover.

The [Land of Deathly Silence] reduced all their speeds, whether it was the speed of thinking or the speed of Divine Power circulating within their bodies.

"What is this kid up to? Why is he attacking his own people, giving a pledge to the Immortal King? What mistake is this kid making?"

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but mutter.

As said earlier, Jiang Chen was the simplest-minded among the Four Corpse Kings, so he naturally couldn’t understand the current situation.

"It doesn’t matter what mistake he’s making, what matters is that we’re probably in trouble now."

The Drought Demon frowned and said meaningfully.

She clearly sensed the aura of the Fu Xi Talisman and knew Lin Yi had brought it out, but the Fu Xi Talisman hadn’t played too crucial a role in this battle.

When Lin Yi stood with her earlier, they didn’t have to worry about the Immortal King using the Fu Xi Talisman to control them.

Now that the two had reconciled, with the Immortal King’s power plus the special abilities of the Fu Xi Talisman, easily controlling the Four Corpse Kings wouldn’t be simple.

At this moment, Luo Bingxin’s eyes were fixed dead on Lin Yi in front of her.

She and Old Xuan had already raised their hearts to their throats, knowing the Immortal King’s style is profit-oriented, and it’s not hard to imagine the fate they would meet after the Immortal King gains control over the Four Corpse Kings.

Saying she’s a double agent was just to reassure other gods. Did she really betray the All Gods Camp? Wouldn’t the Immortal King know?

"I’ve already controlled most of the Dark Rising members, but the control won’t last long. From now on, use Ice Skills as much as possible to attack, and the damage will be exponentially increased. Now, does this pledge sufficiently explain my position?"

From Lin Yi’s expression, the Immortal King couldn’t see any dissatisfaction, nor could he sense any killing intent from his aura.

Even so, the Immortal King was still unwilling to fully trust Lin Yi; he didn’t understand why Lin Yi would easily compromise like this.

According to the Immortal King’s understanding of Lin Yi, he clearly had another chance to resurrect, perhaps relying on Wo Zhiqi’s power to successfully escape. This had not yet reached a desperate situation; why give up like this?

This was completely contrary to the information the Immortal King received about Lin Yi.

"Are you really planning to abandon them? As I know, Dark Rising has helped you a lot when you needed it, and gave you an albeit dubious position in the organization and many resources. That Dragon Queen also had eyes of gratitude towards you. Do you feel alright repaying them like this in your heart?"

Lin Yi did not respond directly to the Immortal King’s question, but his resolute expression had already explained everything.

Indeed, sometimes there’s no need to explain too much.

The shift between righteous and selfish happens in an instant.

People change often because of a single thought.

Eventually, the Immortal King dispelled his doubts about Lin Yi.

Saying this, we have to mention the last question the Immortal King asked.

When Lin Yi was asked why he didn’t use the Divine Artifact in his hand capable of contending with the Nuwa Spirit, he honestly replied:

I did temporarily gain control of the Divine Artifact Fu Xi Talisman, but unfortunately, this Outer-Attached Divine Artifact from the Ancient Great God seemed unwilling to submit to me. It failed me during the battle.

I clearly understand it must have sensed Lord Immortal King’s powerful strength and didn’t want to oppose you. Though I am reluctant to admit it, I have to face reality. Relying on this Outer-Attached Divine Artifact, it’s impossible to be your opponent. Since it’s so willing to recognize you and not serve me, why not let you use it? What do you think?

After saying this, Lin Yi took out the Fu Xi Talisman hidden in his personal space, lifted it using his Power of the Primordial, and offered it before the Immortal King.

At this moment, the Immortal King completely trusted Lin Yi.

According to the Eastern War God, the Fu Xi Talisman was an Outer-Attached Divine Artifact that Lin Yi gained at the cost of his life and all his effort. The powerful strength the Fu Xi Talisman brought was Lin Yi’s amulet, and this idea was not an exaggeration.

Lin Yi also clearly understood that having an Ancient Great God’s Lifebound Divine Artifact for his use would bring boundless future achievements.

But he still gave it!

And erased his connection to the Fu Xi Talisman right in front of the Immortal King.
