I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 593: The Price of Borrowed Power and the Sudden Turn of Battle

Once the final directions of these pathways are pinpointed, the Queen of the Insect Nest's position can likewise be determined.

Lin Yi's accidental flashy display drew the attention of the entire Nest Insect Star onto him. With scarcely any insect race blocking his path, the mapping of Nest Insect Star advanced at a blistering pace.

The underground array of resources was meticulously inspected as well, ensuring no useful details were overlooked.

The intensifying sounds of combat reached Lin You and Lin Qianqian, enabling the sisters to spot Lin Yi's form at last.

For the first time ever, the world's purifying flames gave the insect race the short end in their war of endurance.

The insect race's reproduction rate was truly outrageous, yet Lin Yi's pace in wiping them out proved even more shocking.

How much depletion could the Queen of the Insect Nest possibly withstand?

While gathering data, the sisters approached Lin Yi.

"Looks like you're facing some trouble here, Lin Yi. Need me to give you a hand?"

Since Lin You could match an Upper-Rank God, her sister Lin Qianqian shared that capability too.

Moreover, this girl retained far more memories than Lin You, and the techniques at her disposal might now nearly rival an Upper-Rank God.

Lin Yi shook his head, turning down Lin Qianqian's assistance.

A surprise like that should be saved for a true crisis.

"These are just lowly insects; I'll handle them at my own pace. Plus, I don't want to squander all that experience. My level is still way behind the top War God, so I'll manage it solo."

With those words, Lin Yi, enveloped in supreme flames, launched a one-sided massacre against the insect race.

Lin You and Lin Qianqian remained silent, diligently noting down the Nest Insect Star's terrain data. As outsiders, their danger level paled compared to Lin Yi's, so the endless waves of insects disregarded the two women entirely, letting them record freely.

Thanks to Divine Vision and [Supreme Elevation], Lin Yi stayed impervious to the insect race's assaults while precisely targeting and obliterating every bug that tried to attack him.

Unnoticed by them, the Queen of the Insect Nest had finished preparing her technique.

Through visual sharing, the Queen of the Insect Nest gained an up-close view of Lin Yi.

It could even clearly observe every dancing flame on Lin Yi's form.

Tens of thousands of insects prostrated themselves, all oriented toward the Queen of the Insect Nest.

Yet at this instant, the Queen of the Insect Nest had lost her prior majesty.

The vibrant colors of its carapace had dulled, no longer shining with that piercing gleam in the sunlight.

Its weary, hunched stance revealed how drastically the Queen of the Insect Nest's vitality had waned, a shadow of its former self.

The swarm groveled, their wings and antennae quivering as they let out faint, mournful sounds, seemingly grieving their queen's plight.

Even amid such a charged ambiance, the Queen of the Insect Nest displayed only steely resolve—or rather, savage determination.

No rise comes without reason, just as no fall lacks cause.

The Queen of the Insect Nest appeared so haggard not merely from heavy losses among Nest Insect Star's denizens, but because she had traded her own lifespan for uncontrollable power.

Right now, her patience had run thin.

Devouring Lin Yi and refining his body would propel her to flawless evolution.

What did a mere drain on life force matter? Victory at the end was all that counted.

The sensation of dominating the entire planet filled the Queen of the Insect Nest with unmatched exhilaration.

She stretched out a forelimb, copying a human motion with a gentle clench, then fixed a icy stare on Lin Yi amid his gleeful rampage against the swarm.

"Boy, merge into me, and I'll ascend to greater peaks with your powers!"

In [Supreme Elevation] state, immune to physical strikes, Lin Yi unleashed gravity abilities without restraint, maximizing devastation.

Believing the insect race's tricks couldn't touch him, Lin Yi's guard slowly dropped. By the moment a cold shiver hit his back, escape was impossible.

A force embodying the Taichu Law—matching his maximum strength and slightly exceeding it—suddenly invaded Lin Yi's sensory field.

Before Lin Yi could summon his law power to defend, that crushing force had already torn through his body.

Countless radiant fissures spiderwebbed across Lin Yi's frame.

Bzz!

Following a deep, muffled boom, the light bursting from the cracks turned blindingly brilliant. The horrifying Taichu Law force exploded outward, like serpents shattering their eggshells and thrusting free with savage might.

The devastating, irrepressible destructive power of the Taichu Law surging from inside was utterly terrifying.

Even a monstrously powerful figure like Lin Yi could only watch his body get ripped to pieces, every survival method stripped away.

This abrupt turn froze Lin You and Lin Qianqian in shock, while the insect race warriors reeled from the sudden triumph.

That unbeatable, flame-shrouded warrior, previously immune to all injury, had been brutally torn apart.

The insect race cast aside notions of moths flying into flames or elemental bodies resistant to physical harm.

In massive swarms, buzzing like they were on drugs, they surged forward to assault Lin Yi again.

The might of the Taichu Law went beyond simple power tiers.

It spanned the birth and destruction of all existence.

Beyond mere elemental forces, even the heavens and earth originated from this energy. Could ordinary survival techniques possibly withstand the invasion of such law power?

Sure enough, neither the Immortal Fruit nor Lin Yi’s two passive survival skills worked, and his health bar vanished in a blink.

Spotting the attack's success, the physically frail Queen of the Insect Nest unleashed a piercing, ecstatic shriek.

Its wings fluttered wildly as it rose into the air from the ground.

Finally, it all seemed to be ending!

With Lin Yi absorbed into her body, her power would climb to never-before-seen heights.

Among the four captive planets, only the Nest Insect Star would soon remain.

But there's this odd rule.

The harder you desire something, the more it eludes you.

Just as her hovering form couldn't budge forward even slightly, the Queen of the Insect Nest stopped dead.

The supposedly lifeless Lin Yi initiated a wondrous revival.

The [Supreme Elevation] flames dimmed silently, unveiling the young man's true visage.
