I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 614: A Life-or-Death Battle, Fighting the Divine Envoy Again!

Could Lin Yi, fully aware of the gods' existence and their methods, possibly overlook the coming of another deity?

Hidden beneath that apparently benevolent grin lurked boundless killing intent.

This guy appears to have arrived fully equipped to sneak into this secret mission.

Yet Lin Yi distinctly felt that the foe confronting him now wasn't as formidable as the Calamity, offering a slight opportunity to deal with it.

"Must you all really act so stealthily just for a battle against me?"

"A Quasi-god like you, still needing such caution to face a mere lower realm human?"

Though these remarks appeared commonplace, their underlying mockery was profoundly cutting.

The previously genial expression on the immortal-poised white-bearded elder's face disappeared in a flash, replaced by a savage glare.

"Insolent brat! You're seeking death!"

It's not falsehoods that wound; truths deliver the fatal blow.

Lin Yi's statement instantly crushed the arrogance of the Upper-Rank Gods.

True fear of Lin Yi explained the white-bearded elder's wariness.

From the intel under his command, he'd discovered Lin Yi possessed the Great Saint’s Residual Soul.

Though diminished from its peak, the Great Saint’s Residual Soul's might remained a serious danger.

Combined with Lin Yi's command over the planetary will, it formed a highly vexing power.

Divine Envoys had observed the Calamity's strength, proving servants of upper realm gods held immense power.

Even that powerhouse fell to a mortal's hand, so why would lesser divine consciousnesses risk underestimation?

Hence their covert approach, ready to launch a surprise assault?

"Think your strength truly endangers me? Delude yourself no longer about your limits, brat. I won't claim I skipped warning you—kneel, beg forgiveness, come along now, and I'll spare your life!

"You could even enjoy limitless future potential."

The white-haired elder's declaration at last unsettled the once-composed trio.

What rotten luck to stumble upon a Divine Envoy-level threat while merely gathering resources on Blue Star?

Though they'd never seen Divine Envoys' horrors up close, Lin Yi's grave assessment implied this being's might was dreadfully potent, leaving even him uncertain of triumph.

Right as the three pulled out a Communication Spirit Crystal to alert Principal Wanchong Mountain of the crisis, Lin Yi within the mission interjected.

"Heh, fine talk from you."

"Save it, old geezer—do you even qualify? How's your strength stack against the Calamity; are you blind to it? With that level of power, would you waste time bickering? Enough chatter, fight me!"

With a disdainful head toss and snort, crackling noises erupted from Lin Yi's frame.

The moment his words ended, Lin Yi turned into a streak of lightning, surging right up to the white-haired elder.

"Old geezer, no more words—eat this punch!"

Empowered by [Thunderbolt Flash], Lin Yi's fist's force surged wildly, plus Thunder Skills' true damage bonus, making it no overstatement that a Quasi-Emperor Tier beast would drop dead on impact.

Yet a Divine Envoy remains a Divine Envoy, regardless.

Regardless of the strike's speed, Lin Yi failed to dominate entirely in velocity.

"Hah, you've gravely misjudged this Divine Envoy. Relying on a Tier Six Thunder Element skill to faze someone my age?"

Keen Taichu Law enveloped the elder, fully countering and devouring the raging thunder energy.

His graceful motions revealed utter poise.

Lin Yi offered no retort to that.

Aware of their stark power disparity, he knew winning wouldn't come easy.

The Divine Envoy's Power of the Primordial Law clearly outmatched Lin Yi's by far, rendering head-on clashes disadvantageous.

Luckily, lower realm battles held perks—upper realm titans struggled to restore expended Power of the Primordial Law down here. That's Lin Yi's path to reversal.

Lin Yi boasted a vast array of skills.

Draining the foe's Power of the Primordial Law via potent abilities would suffice amply.

Missing with the first blow, Lin Yi pressed on without delay, unleashing the follow-up skill.

[Forbidden Curse: Earth-Bursting Celestial Star]

[*11]

Primordial Chaos triggered over a dozen massive meteors plummeting from above.

Gravity Manipulation Skills boosted the technique's precision, homing perfectly on the white-bearded elder.

The white-bearded elder had no chance to respond before Lin Yi unleashed his next skill in rapid succession.

Through the power of the Law Skill [Ice Manipulation], a colossal hand forged from Eternal Power emerged beneath the white-bearded elder, hoisting him skyward.

The elder barely had time to react when the massive hand clamped shut, trapping him entirely inside, and slammed him viciously down to the earth.

Unseen by anyone, Lin Yi had already touched down on the ground.

The instant his feet met the soil, Lin Yi claimed mastery over the terrain. Verdant giant trees sprang to life, hauling vast piles of rocks and dirt at breakneck speed toward the elder, interring him without delay.

Lin Yi's maneuver shook the very foundations of the world.

For Gangguo experts, witnessing their hallowed ground so casually dominated by Lin Yi was beyond belief.

With power this horrifying, it came as no shock that he reigned as Blue Star's supreme.

But Lin Yi's assault pressed on relentlessly.

He grasped perfectly the need to sustain his momentum.

Shielded by the Taichu Law, the Divine Envoy couldn't be taken down that simply.

With mere intent, the earth encasing the Divine Envoy transformed from muddy brown to immaculate white.

Gangguo professionals hadn't even processed the change when a blinding white glare lit up the broadcast's giant screen.

A cataclysmic detonation!

Even across the screen, the sheer destructive force left Gangguo professionals quaking in fear.

Without Lin Yi's involvement in the quest, that single attack might have wiped out all of Gangguo.

It's just...

A foreboding chill instantly gripped Latar's heart.

Didn't they agree to avoid demolishing the quest? Lin Yi's technique would surely turn the [Ancient Arid Ridge] quest into rubble.

Yet now wasn't the moment for such worries.

The Divine Envoy stood as a nightmarish force surpassing Blue Star entirely.

Should a being like that unleash chaos on Blue Star, no mere quest mattered—the whole Gangguo could crumble in seconds.

Life trumped riches; Latar and the rest knew where priorities lay.

However, once their eyes adjusted, Latar's face darkened gravely.
