Lin Yi, after defeating three opponents, stalled for time while Blue Star professionals regrouped. He then summoned Lin You, the Undead Monarch, and tasked her with commanding the battle, allowing her to hone her leadership skills. As Lin You bolstered Blue Star’s forces and Lin Yi increased gravity on the battlefield, Blue Star gained the upper hand. However, a new threat emerged with the appearance of a creature fusing three elements, capable of erasing skills and even life.

The [Tombstone Inscription] skill was successfully activated.

A familiar sensation returned, and Lin You found herself enveloped by her surroundings, her perception and control extending everywhere. The comforting sense of absolute mastery washed over her.

Yet, this feeling of comfort was fleeting, vanishing in an instant as panic contorted Lin You’s features.

How could this possibly happen!

Like a gaunt, shadowy specter, it had materialized silently behind Lin You.

It lifted its grayish-white, translucent arm, positioning its palm directly at the back of Lin You’s head.

Even Lin You, the Undead Monarch, couldn't ascertain the expression it bore at that precise moment.

"Hehe, I hadn't anticipated a young lady like you would possess such an overwhelming support capability. If you were allowed to continue operating freely, I fear the battlefield on Elemental Star would face unavoidable defeat."

"However, my standing and might on Elemental Star are considerable. It is not an unjust fate for you to fall by my hand."

"Remember this, I am Ye, one of the exceedingly rare three dust creatures inhabiting Elemental Star."

The voice from behind was laced with a bone-chilling intent to slay.

As it channeled the internal source power, a translucent, grayish-white column materialized, imbued with the energies of fire, wind, and earth. It was aimed like a piercing dagger at the base of Lin You’s skull, poised to penetrate at any second.

This grayish-white column radiated a devastating power of annihilation.

This annihilating force was uniquely potent, distinct from conventional annihilation energy, emanating a perilous aura far beyond Lin You’s comprehension.

It was a power that instilled fear even in an Undead Monarch; no wonder it could bypass the effects of [Death Resistance], eradicating not just Blue Star’s cultivators, but the very skills they employed.

Within the vision afforded by the [Tombstone Inscription] state, Lin You perceived that in precisely two seconds, her upper torso would be consumed by the grayish-white column, utterly destroyed.

An unprecedented wave of helplessness washed over her.

She knew with certainty that with her current capabilities, evading the grayish-white pillar descending from behind was impossible. Therefore, she made the decision to cease all resistance.

After all, Lin Yi was positioned behind her.

As for the future glimpsed by [Tombstone Inscription], there was no need for excessive worry.

What would transpire if summoned beings could foresee their masters' futures?

As anticipated, the moment the grayish-white column struck from behind Lin You, Lin Yi's skill was instantly triggered.

Across the entire battlefield, encompassing approximately a hundred thousand units engaged in a three-way conflict, a dazzling spectacle of skills unfolded, a chaotic display that could legitimately be termed 'light pollution.'

Ordinary observers would struggle to keep pace, let alone coordinate the timing of any two targets' skill activations, much less track their intended victims.

However, for Lin Yi, equipped with the Eye of All-Seeing, this presented no obstacle.

Following the application of the Touch of Reincarnation upon Chu Xi and achieving mastery of the Truth Law at the Harmonization Layer, Lin Yi’s cognitive processing speed had been significantly augmented.

The Eye of All-Seeing effortlessly targeted every combatant on the field, while his exceptionally potent intellect strove to track their movements, ensuring meticulous control over the battle.

Lin Yi's initial inability to intervene when the grayish-white elemental being launched its assault was not due to a lack of willingness to aid the desperate Blue Star practitioners; rather, it was the sheer difficulty in pinpointing the entity known as 'Ye.'

Nevertheless, when it initiated a skill with a discernible startup delay, Lin Yi was able to precisely lock onto Ye’s location by tracking the peculiar annihilation energy it emitted and the immense source power coursing through its form.

The [Light and Shadow Mark] had already been affixed to Lin You.

Foresight—was this something Lin Yi would overlook?

With a mere thought, an unsuspecting, mid-level fire elemental creature, bearing the Light and Shadow Mark, was instantaneously swapped with Lin You, completely unnoticed by the latter.

Before it could even register the startling shift in its visual perspective, a terrifying wave of annihilation power erupted from behind, engulfing its upper half.

"No, this..."

Witnessing its meticulously charged attack strike one of its own planet's lesser beings, Ye was utterly dumbfounded.

It had maintained unwavering visual contact with Lin You, scrutinizing her every moment, and had clearly detected no fluctuation in source power from Lin You, who had evidently resigned herself to inaction.

So then, how had the swap suddenly occurred...

Back near Lin Yi, Lin You sheepishly scratched her head, resembling a child who had misbehaved, and offered a belated apology for her lapse in attention.

Lin Yi, however, showed no inclination to assign blame.

After all, how could Lin You possibly detect something that even the Eye of All-Seeing could not immediately ascertain?

"If you were to engage using the Power of Law, it should not be a match for you. Do not concern yourself with the expenditure; fight in whatever manner feels most comfortable."

Lin You gave an obedient nod and then steadily received the Heavenly Following Cloud Sword, which Lin Yi summoned from his personal space. A bond of master and servant meant little needed to be spoken; a mere thought from one was instantly understood by the other. The skill, Light and Shadow Interchange, was activated once more, this time shifting from offense to defense! As the Heavenly Following Cloud Sword materialized, crackling with brilliant lightning, the attention of many powerful individuals on the battlefield was drawn to it. Creatures with thunder elemental attributes, in particular, were attracted by the pure thunder elemental power that radiated from the sword. Bewitched by its aura, they even neglected to alert their superior, the three-elemental being known as "Ye," about the formidable presence that had appeared behind it.

[Six Dao of Thoughtless Slash - Unity]

Lin You softly spoke the incantation and poured a tremendous amount of the Power of Reincarnation into the Heavenly Following Cloud. Buzz buzz buzz~ Crimson aura visibly swirled around the blade, resonating with the thunderous power it contained, drawing forth the hidden Power of Reincarnation within the sword. With both hands gripping the weapon, Lin You executed a fierce slash. A crimson Sword Qi, stretching tens of meters long, shot out with incredible speed, aimed at the "Ye" creature, which was hundreds of meters away, comprised of three elements. At this juncture, the effectiveness of the Light and Shadow Interchange skill became truly apparent. "Ye" had lost sight of its target for several seconds and was frantically searching for Lin You's whereabouts, so utterly engrossed that it hadn't noticed Lin You had already teleported behind it. It is not an overstatement to say that it detected no disturbance even as the immense Power of Reincarnation gathered behind it. Only when the Unity Slash, a strike capable of cleaving the very heavens and earth, approached within a few dozen strides did its survival instincts finally engage, sensing the deadly attack aimed its way. However, the sluggish "Ye" had no chance to react to the astonishing speed of the Unity Slash Sword Qi. At this moment, Lin You, filled with confidence, was already envisioning his subsequent attack plans, resolved to pursue relentlessly until the opponent was utterly vanquished. But just as he prepared to advance, two figures bearing a striking resemblance to "Ye" appeared, blocking the scarlet Sword Qi of [Six Dao of Thoughtless Slash - Unity]. "Dust Dispersal, Obliterate!"
