I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 594: A True Man Knows When to Yield, Rarely Seen Avoidance of the Enemy’s Edge
Previously on I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second...
Indeed, it was the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill imparted by Zacks.
Though comprehension lingered only at the first layer and the stage at its initial level, the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill remained a wondrous cultivation technique that could plunder heaven and earth's marvels.
Lin Yi knew perfectly that a heart method defying the heavens like this couldn't stem from some ordinary mid-level plane deity.
His instincts screamed to Lin Yi that Zacks surpassed a mere high-level plane powerhouse; it harbored a far more enigmatic origin.
Should an opportunity arise to encounter this mighty existence once more, Lin Yi yearned to offer proper gratitude.
Beneath the Queen of the Insect Nest's gaze brimming with shock, Lin Yi's form fully mended itself.
Now, Lin Yi restrained himself no longer, unleashing the Power of the Primordial Law surging within, shrouding his body to thwart any further surprise assaults.
"How is this possible!"
In utter disbelief, the Queen of the Insect Nest murmured to itself.
To crush Lin Yi and safeguard Nest Insect Star's destiny, the queen endured a price beyond reversal, forfeiting half its life essence to claim a force beyond its own.
Whence originated this might? The planet's will!
Not only did the planetary will amplify the battle prowess of the planet's denizens, it embodied a supremely dominant energy.
On a lowly planet like Blue Star, nothing outshone the Taichu Law.
Those wielding the Taichu Law with complete mastery could lord over all on Blue Star, even steering its evolution to match their desires.
The Taichu Law's strength set the absolute ceiling for the planet's capabilities.
Empowered by the planetary will, warriors could deploy the Taichu Law in combat.
Yet how could the planetary will bend to anyone's casual whim?
Scouring entire Blue Star, without Ao Zhan's revelation from seclusion in the Deep Sea Tower, no professionals would suspect this extraordinary power's reality.
Unaware of a power's very being, how might one ever summon it?
Even armed with knowledge of the planetary will, securing its favor and unleashing its vast might demanded brutally severe trials.
Among Blue Star's four tethered planets, solely the Queen of the Insect Nest triumphed here.
The Insect Race forged as one; plainly stated, the Queen of the Insect Nest's ambitions mirrored the clan's collective drive.
In this unity, sacrificing half its life force let the Queen of the Insect Nest borrow the planetary will's aid, snatching a fleeting trial of that force.
Yet wagering its existence and failing to obliterate Lin Yi outright—who could endure such outrage?
It lashed out anew.
The formidable Power of the Primordial Law coalesced into a keen blade, rending clouds over Lin Yi's position, poised above his crown before hurtling down.
Yet the edge froze short of grazing Lin Yi, stalled without progress.
Plainly seen, twin near-invisible law forces raged in brutal opposition.
"Think you can take me down now that I'm on guard?"
"Same Taichu Law—let's see whose mastery prevails!"
Before the Taichu Law, skills of all kinds, even soul arts fused to weapon spirits, availed nothing.
Their duel devolved into raw impacts of law powers alone.
Battle's onset saw both forces deadlocked in balance.
Before long, time revealed the chasm between Lin Yi's Taichu Law and the Queen of the Insect Nest's.
Lin Yi truly commanded the Taichu Law, yet his reserves regenerated slowly, no match for the Queen's pilfered version.
The planetary will channeled a world's supreme authority.
Sixty-six percent Taichu Law comprehension shone brightly, yet dimmed against Nest Insect Star's planetary will.
Planetary essence dwarfed human vigor in sheer refinement.
World-shaping in potency, the tiniest comprehension gap spanned entire realms.
Thus, the Queen of the Insect Nest seized advantage in virtually every bout.
Lin Yi's Taichu Law splintered, buckling beneath the onslaught.
The life-staked might the Queen of the Insect Nest unleashed dwarfed Lin Yi's by leagues.
Lin Yi's failure to detect the Queen of the Insect Nest proved this gulf.
"Enough—halt your feints."
Lin Yi twisted aside, scarcely dodging the Queen's Taichu Law's residual blast.
Swiftly pulling back, he dispatched urgent directives to the two women.
Regrettably, the showdown with the Queen of the Insect Nest must pause for the moment just like this.
Lin Yi had no clue about the Queen of the Insect Nest's techniques or how much longer this form could last.
Rushing into a desperate all-out clash might end in total annihilation and erasure.
The insane recovery from the first layer of Eight-Nine Mystical Skill truly bypassed the limits imposed by the Taichu Law, yet it came with a cooldown timer. Should it get slain during that cooldown, everything would be finished.
To dodge such a fate, Lin Yi opted to pull back from its overwhelming force for the moment.
Strength gained at the risk of one's life is without doubt immensely powerful.
However, the toll exacted when gambling with one's life proves brutally heavy.
The Queen of the Insect Nest surely can't sustain this might indefinitely—a flexible hero bends when wise; waiting it out posed no risk.
"Grab the gathered intel, let's retreat and hide—if need be, hole up in the Undead Space for around ten days."
For Lin Yi, uttering "temporarily evade its might" stood out as highly unusual.
Hearing those words, Lin You and Lin Qianqian couldn't suppress their laughter.
"Lin Yi, how long are we hiding for?"
Within the Undead Space, Lin You rattled the partially sketched map she held before passing it to Lin Yi.
"The Nest Insect Star appears as a barbaric world devoid of true civilization, a repulsive orb, yet its plentiful ancient resources outstrip all our expectations."
Projecting via Spirit Crystal to reveal the largely complete map of Nest Insect Star, Lin You meticulously detailed her insights, weaving in probabilities and personal observations.
Rare materials, unique crystals capable of yielding skill points.
On Blue Star, such treasures remain exceedingly scarce.
Above all, those special crystals processable into marketable skill points count as ultimate prizes on Blue Star.
Nest Insect Star brims with these valuables—if only we razed the entire planet, what a haul!
Lin Yi gave a helpless shrug.
Indicating the charred marks across his frame, Lin Yi explained.
"No way around it, the Queen of the Insect Nest proved far too savage. Never thought a bug could manipulate the Taichu Law so masterfully; without dealing with her, our following plans stall completely."
"That hideous beast truly possessed the power to end me, not mere empty threats."
