Three Ancient Apes from Ancient Ape Star ambushed Lin Yi, shattering his defensive skill. Despite their powerful attack, Lin Yi's skills rendered them immune to the ensuing chaos. Lin Yi then brutally crushed the three Apes multiple times, leaving them unrecognizable.

Lin Yi’s hand lightly brushed against the dark red, fleshy orb.

This action caused the professionals from Blue Star to feel a churning sensation in their stomachs.

How could Lin Yi, with such a seemingly gentle outward appearance, engage in such a cold-blooded deed?

The stark contrast was a truly chilling sight.

Naturally, Lin Yi wasn't indulging in any sort of twisted pleasure by doing this.

The purpose behind touching this mass of flesh was to delve into the memories of these three defeated individuals, utilizing the 'Touch of Reincarnation' ability.

Otherwise, how would Lin Yi have been able to precisely call out the leaders of Ancient Ape Star and Elemental Star by name?

When Lin Yi uttered these names, the professionals from Blue Star were still largely unaware of their significance.

Information regarding these two planets was, after all, quite scarce.

By calling them out in such a manner, the morale of the warriors hailing from both Ancient Ape Star and Elemental Star plummeted drastically.

For this young man from Blue Star to make such pronouncements, without even bothering to single-combat the strongest individuals from their respective stars, his formidable strength was unmistakably demonstrated.

The situation weighed even more heavily on Chaos and Set’s minds.

It had been the shared plan of the strongest combatants from both planets that the moment Lin Yi exhibited any sign of weakness, they would launch a simultaneous assault, catching him completely off guard.

Their intention was to deny Lin Yi any opportunity to leverage the power of the 'planetary will'; even if the victory achieved wouldn't be glorious, defeating Lin Yi was paramount.

This was precisely why Set had risked the potential for betrayal to aid Elemental Star.

As the strongest representative of his planet, Set could acutely perceive the planetary will’s apprehension, which was indicative of the current power displayed by Blue Star’s mightiest warrior.

Given a strength that surpassed other planets within the same dimensional plane, how could Blue Star possibly refrain from intervening?

Set understood that as long as he was not a match for Blue Star's strongest, an eventual attack by Blue Star on Ancient Ape Star would inevitably lead to its ruin.

In this world governed by the principle of the strong preying on the weak, submission to a dominant force was an impossibility.

To alter the destiny of Ancient Ape Star from being obliterated, Set had chosen to tread a perilous path.

The combatants from Elemental Star were by no means weak, but with the combined might of Ancient Ape Star, they could at least hold their ground.

Provided Blue Star did not interfere, without necessarily aiming to eradicate Ancient Ape Star, they could at the very least maintain their planet's stability.

Consequently, Set had journeyed to Elemental Star, disregarding the potential repercussions, to offer his assistance.

However, witnessing the unfolding events, it appeared he had made an ill-advised choice.

Three distinguished warriors who were subordinate to him had already made their move against Lin Yi.

This signified that both factions were now irrevocably opposed, and an attempt to claim it was all a misunderstanding would likely find no credence.

But in terms of combat, were they truly a match for him?

As the paramount powerhouses from their respective planets, both Chaos and Set possessed mastery over the 'Power of the Primordial'.

They could both distinctly sense that the 'Power of the Primordial' emanating from Lin Yi operated on an entirely different echelon compared to their own.

Even if the two of them were to combine their forces, the likelihood of achieving victory was exceedingly slim.

To overcome Lin Yi, they might need to permit the strongest individuals from each planet to engage him first, observing for any sign of weakness he might reveal.

"What is this? Are you not going to make a move?"

Observing that the most powerful warriors from the two planets showed no inclination to take action, Lin Yi couldn't help but offer a smile.

If mere solidarity could resolve conflicts, why would distinct social strata exist in this world?

Ah, well!

There were still some rather troublesome individuals from Elemental Star positioned ahead.

Their adept control over the 'Five Elements Destruction Array' imposed significant constraints on Blue Star’s professionals. Allowing them to charge forward would undoubtedly result in substantial casualties for Blue Star’s fighters.

With this consideration in mind, a familiar young girl materialized at Lin Yi’s side.

She was the Undead Monarch—Lin You.

"Why have you summoned me? Given the enemy's strength, you should be more than capable of handling this situation with ease."

Lin You inquired softly.

Lin Yi stretched languidly, responding with a measured tone.

"Indeed, it could be managed with ease. However, I considered this an excellent opportunity for you."

"You are the Undead Monarch, and I have an inkling that once your true identity is revealed and your memories are fully restored, numerous devoted followers will undoubtedly gather at your side."

"Why don't you take command of this engagement for me today?"

As a summoned entity under Lin Yi's command, Lin You and Lin Yi shared a profound mental connection.

Within moments, Lin You grasped Lin Yi’s underlying intention and readily assented with obedient compliance.

Lin You possessed a limited repertoire of skills, yet they were remarkably potent.

Her '[Runic Enchantment]' skill, in particular, which could be applied to an almost limitless number of units, undeniably positioned her as one of Blue Star's premier support assets.

Therefore, following Lin Yi’s direction, Lin You guided the prominent figures of Blue Star back into the fray.

The instant Lin You rejoined the battle, she activated '[Runic Enchantment]', invigorating the professionals of Blue Star and propelling their strength to unprecedented levels.

Then she unleashed dozens of [Death’s Imposition], blanketing nearly the entire battlefield.

This significantly increased the margin for error for Blue Star’s professionals, who now no longer feared being eliminated in battles against those elementals fused with multiple elements.

Moreover, Lin Yi was not idle either.

He exerted his unparalleled skill control, increasing the gravity on the entire battlefield several folds.

Any creature from Elemental Star or Ancient Ape Star that entered this zone would find themselves greatly restricted by the immense gravity.

Under the combined interference of Lin Yi and Lin You, the battlefield, instead of falling into a passive state, was completely dominated by Blue Star.

The Blue Star professionals, empowered by the special effects of Runic Enchantment, grew fiercer as the battle progressed. Even the formidable elemental creatures that could bypass the effects of the Five Elements Destruction Array by merging two elements were brought under control.

Within the effects of Death’s Imposition, the Blue Star professionals became emboldened.

After all, with their final life force guaranteed and healers on standby, they dared to charge forward one by one, leading to the swift and complete suppression of the Elemental Star’s strong forces in no time.

As for the Ancient Ape Star creatures that arrived to provide aid, their efforts to respond were even more chaotic.

Lacking immunity to physical attacks, they became easy targets for the concentrated firepower of the Blue Star professionals.

Just as the Blue Star forces believed the battle would continue without further incident, an unforeseen event transpired.

A creature of immense power, fused with three elements, appeared silently on the battlefield.

A squad of melee mages, capitalizing on Death’s Imposition to lock their final sliver of health, used it to push the Elemental Star elite to the brink of exhaustion.

But just as they fought with high spirits, an almost transparent grayish-white beam suddenly engulfed them.

Not only were the individuals affected, but the skill effect of Death’s Imposition was also simultaneously nullified.

There was no recourse; even skills that weren't of Law, ordinary skills, or even Forbidden Curses, could be overcome.

When Lin You perceived the anomaly and shifted her attention to the grayish-white beam, she recognized the gravity of the situation.

Several Blue Star professionals’ lives were instantly extinguished.

Even the effect of Death’s Imposition was revoked, leaving no trace behind.

What a terrifying adversary!

With no time for sorrow, Lin You immediately entered the Tombstone Inscription state to prepare herself.
