I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 577: Ugly Bird, Turn Around and Kneel

Those dark, shiny eyes showed utter bewilderment.

Calamity kept darting between planets in the lower planes to safeguard the deities' interests.

In that period, he shattered numerous faiths and beheld the nastier aspects of human greed.

The desperate fight to guard worthless things despite knowing it was hopeless left Calamity deeply baffled.

He never planned to wipe out Blue Star. After slaying Lin Yi successfully, he just aimed to seize the Great Saint’s Soul and report back, not anticipating these frail Blue Star beings would assault him wildly like frenzied beasts.

For Blue Star's practitioners, the mighty Divine Power proved utterly invincible.

Even with Calamity’s Taichu Law exhausted, Blue Star's cultivators stood no chance against him.

Red-black chains wrapped around the seductive figure wielding a gun blade, slicing elegant curves through the void, but each attack faded away before reaching Calamity.

"The weaklings of Blue Star are truly stubborn. I initially intended not to interfere with the outcome of your planet’s wills clashing. Yet, you ignorant and weak creatures persistently aggress."

"Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being ruthless! Annoying flies!"

As vibrant skills bombarded his Divine Power, Black Crow’s gaze betrayed growing annoyance.

Calamity narrowed his eyes, erupting with intense Divine Power.

The Upper-Rank God’s Divine Power formed a nearly invisible barrier.

In an instant, amid Calamity’s enraged bellow, the barrier surged outward like a colossal wave sweeping the human domain.

This destructive surge obliterated every skill from Blue Star’s practitioners.

No matter your Forbidden Curse or the Power of Law it wielded, everything amounted to nothing.

Upon hitting the practitioners, the Divine Power bypassed their Harmonization Layer Law shields entirely, dealing massive damage to everyone.

In mere moments, the human practitioner forces collapsed completely.

"Such a feeble attack and yet dare call upon me?"

"You lot are so... "

By applying the Secret Technique to Lin Yi’s corpse, the concealed Great Saint’s Martial Soul could be drawn out—a unique power of the Divine Envoy’s true form.

Calamity neared mission success and refused to linger on this lowly planet any longer.

On this desolate world, Taichu Law recovered at a painfully sluggish rate.

To fully vanquish Lin Yi, Calamity had pushed himself hard, leaving scant Taichu Law remaining.

In such a condition, he felt profoundly insecure.

He considered launching another Divine Power blast to eradicate Blue Star’s practitioners outright.

Suddenly, as the immense Divine Power stirred, the landscape underfoot transformed.

[River of Space-Time Condensation]

Boundless Eternal Power saturated the realm.

Calamity first assumed ordinary Supreme Law would dissolve on contact with his Divine Power.

Yet upon closer inspection, he detected another Upper-Rank God’s Divine Power in the Eternal Ice River below.

What is this?

The grotesque bird head grew taut again.

No, this time it was outright terror!

Upper-Rank God’s Divine Power!

Which powerhouse from the upper planes had intervened?

"Lord, this little one was unaware of your presence here and may have been disrespectful. Please forgive me."

"I am a Divine Envoy from the Asura Dao of the Formless Realm, sent by the will of the deities to retrieve the Great Saint’s Soul. Please grant me this favor, and I will be eternally grateful!"

Sharing the same divine power sharpened his senses even more.

A mere trace of Divine Power from the intervener behind him blocked Calamity’s awareness completely.

This proved the hidden powerhouse was vastly superior, a supreme deity in the Colorless Realm Celestial Dao.

To demonstrate sincerity, Calamity dropped to his knees on the freezing ice river.

The practitioners, flung back hundreds of meters with surging blood, tumbled across the icy tundra dozens of times before regaining footing.

They feared Calamity might unleash another blow or target Lin Yi’s body directly, but raising their eyes revealed the astonishing sight.

The arrogant Divine Envoy Calamity, who deemed all beneath him, now knelt trembling on the ground.

Beneath his knees lay the recognizable Eternal Ice River.

What had occurred?

Xiyue forced her head up, straining to discern the scene.

The instant after, the face dominating her mind materialized before her.

"Isn’t it impolite to kneel with your back to the lord?"

"Come on, ugly bird, turn around, let grandpa see your sincerity."

The voice from behind rang familiar to Calamity—it belonged to Lin Yi, the one he had slain.

Terror evaporated from his heart in a flash.

Without pause, Calamity sprang up and whipped around, facing Lin Yi’s form.

Now, Lin Yi appeared fully revived.

Countless gashes on his body mended swiftly thanks to the Immortal Treasure Pearl.

Confidence shone unprecedentedly on his face as he beckoned Calamity with a casual finger crook.

"Your Power of Taichu Law, there’s not much left, is there?"

"Now we stand on the same height, no, I have what you don’t, and what you have, I possess. Why don’t we see who’s better?"

Disbelief flooded Calamity’s eyes.

He couldn’t grasp how Lin Yi, personally struck down and lifeless by his hand, rose once more.

Besides, as a mere lower-plane prodigy, no amount of struggle should grant him Upper-Rank God’s power.

Blue Star, being so barren, lacked the means to acquire divine power.

Impossible!

Another explanation existed: this youth had met other Upper-Rank Gods!

Calamity grasped the truth instantly.

Heavens, everything had fallen apart!

After learning of the Great Saint’s Soul, Calamity swiftly relayed the news to Colorless Realm Celestial Dao superiors.

Given past chaos from the Great Saint, the upper-rank gods took it gravely, vowing no interference if Calamity succeeded, elevating him to true Upper-Rank God status.

Failure, however, meant torment beyond endurance.

Staring at the subtle Divine Power swirling in Lin Yi’s right palm, Calamity’s face twisted savagely.

Hadn’t they promised him sole handling of the Great Saint’s Soul, so why empower a lower-plane human youth?
