Xuanyuan Qingcang burned his Lifebound Law in a desperate assault, collapsing pale and lifeless as allies arrived too late to heal him. Calamity reemerged battered among the professionals, taunting Lin Yi and declaring Blue Star's doom despite acknowledging their potential. Lin Yi feigned surrender of his martial soul, then tricked Calamity with a spatial swap, igniting his own Lifebound Law for a devastating punch while summoning twelve Saint Transformation Level figures to attack from behind.

[Hair’s Splitting Avatar]!

The martial soul skill activated in a flash!

Since his divine sense had clashed with Lin Yi earlier, Calamity gained a basic understanding of the [Hair’s Splitting Avatar] skill's power.

This skill's level surpasses typical forbidden curses!

The independent avatar possesses its own skill cooldown, health, and mana, boasting stats almost identical to the main body.

In a duel, it amounts to outright cheating.

Even an Upper-Rank God like Calamity facing twelve foes wielding Saint Transformation Level Taichu Law had to concede that evasion was the wisest choice.

Calamity wasn't stupid.

He clearly knew Lin Yi couldn't sustain the Saint Transformation Level Taichu Law for much longer with his power.

Once it ended, Lin Yi would fade away on his own, just like Xuanyuan Qingcang, burning through his life until the end.

"What now, planning to hide?"

"The current me can match your speed! Where do you think you’re going?"

Lin Yi’s main body seized Calamity by the neck.

The instant that strangling pressure hit, this arrogant Upper-Rank God finally felt terror.

"Lin Yi, I beg you, let me..."

An uppercut smashed right into Calamity’s beak.

A gut-wrenching agony arrived alongside a surge of vomit.

The shattered beak soared upward, mirrored in Calamity’s eyes.

Before a cry could escape, another Lin Yi unleashed a flying kick.

A ferocious strike crashed into Calamity’s spine.

The grotesque black crow twisted from the impact.

Yet another figure lunged in.

A brutal elbow hammered down onto the bird’s head.

Stars exploded across Calamity’s sight in the vast sky.

The other avatar proved even more savage.

.....

Assaults of such fierce intensity and rapid pace, even from thirteen figures combined, couldn’t endure forever.

Calamity’s foul blood spilled across the ground.

His feathers were stripped bare amid the savage fight.

Lin Yi’s blows struck without mercy, each one landing true.

After relentless combos, the mighty Upper-Rank God black crow Calamity lay broken-boned and crumpled on the earth.

This spectacle set every powerhouse on Blue Star’s blood racing.

Lin Yi’s explosive surge of overwhelming might unleashed a savage thrashing on the Divine Envoy bent on annihilating Langlan Star, a sight that thrilled onlookers.

Yet Xiyue, witnessing it all, wept bitterly.

Sudden surges of vast power arise in just two ways.

Either through a cheat code or by igniting one’s life force.

Cheats belong to games alone—nowhere in the real world.

Evidently, Lin Yi had torched his own life.

She understood perfectly why he chose this path.

On Blue Star, countless treasures demanded his guard—family, comrades, oaths. He couldn’t retreat an inch, only charge ahead boldly.

Just as Calamity seemed on the verge of death, Lin Yi and his avatars slowed abruptly, granting the foe a breather to escape and soar aloft.

"Damn brat, how dare you attack me like this, you’re dead!"

Wings fractured, head caved in, feathers torn away.

Calamity never imagined such a fate for himself.

Though Lin Yi’s avatars relied solely on fists and feet, every strike bore the Saint Transformation Level Taichu Law, rendering defense impossible for Calamity.

Each hit inflicted true harm.

Hovering mid-air, Calamity’s face twisted into a grim, hideous scowl.

Now, no mercy remained for Lin Yi.

The scepter, knocked loose earlier, returned to his grasp.

[Black Crow Doomsday]!

With a furious bellow, darkness engulfed the entire sky.

Instantly, myriad razor-sharp black feathers rained down, infused with potent Taichu Law, targeting Lin Yi.

Shedding mere feathers to unleash doomsday?

Before the mighty Lin Yi, it meant nothing!

The moment Blue Star’s powerhouses anticipated didn’t unfold.

Despite his arsenal of skills, Lin Yi refused to evade the descending black feathers.

Those lethal barbs pierced his flesh without pity.

Lin Yi raised his defiant head, eyes starting to glaze over.

Why avoid them?

The gore-drenched Lin Yi mirrored in Xiyue’s eyes.

This sight struck her like a thunderbolt, sapping all vigor.

Why not dodge? Lin Yi had countless skills at hand.

Be it [Thunderbolt Flash] or [Swift Wind Flash], which couldn’t whisk him from Calamity’s assault?

Lin Yi hadn’t failed to dodge.

Rather, skills were beyond him now, stamina spent for evasion.

How did Lin Yi claim such tremendous power? From grazing Xuanyuan War God’s form.

[Touch of Reincarnation] unlocked Xuanyuan War God’s memories.

Lin Yi discovered the War God’s secret for fleeting might—a singular life-burning technique, [Sacrifice]!

[Sacrifice] stands as a supremely potent life-burning method.

Far exceeding standard ones.

How could the art propelling Lin Yi’s novice Taichu Law grasp to Saint Transformation Level be ordinary?

Unlike typical life-burning arts, [Sacrifice] demands an extra toll: one’s skills!

Incinerate portions of skills for amplified power.

Thus, Xuanyuan Qingcang deployed no skills aiding Lin Yi.

By then, his skills were gone.

The attacking Lin Yi mirrored this.

Beyond the martial soul skill, he burned every skill, even all supreme laws save Taichu Law.

Lacking Power of Law, law-bound items became unusable too.

This frailty from depletion was alien to Lin Yi since the Immortal Fruit.

In this life-burning climax, bodily weakness struck unexpectedly.

Had the Immortal Fruit still replenished endlessly, slaying Calamity outright would’ve been effortless.

Regrets rang hollow now.

Lin Yi tasted the despair Xuanyuan Qingcang knew before.

Strength fled him utterly, vision blurring into haze.

Is this what death feels like?

Lin Yi wondered.

....

Drip, drop~

A water droplet’s echo resounded near his ears.

Lin Yi’s fading awareness snapped back abruptly.

"Hey, these young people nowadays, really, when they fight, they truly fight for their lives."

"It’s really worrying."

Lin Yi surveyed the boundless void around him, seeking the voice’s source.

Yet endless viscous gloom met every gaze.

Where am I? Haven’t I died?

"Stop looking, kid."

A blinding light erupted suddenly, white erasing black, revealing a familiar silhouette—Upper-Rank God Zacks!
