I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 683: Powerful Support from the Void, Wu Juedian Tortured?
Previously on I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second...
Typically, a formidable cultivator wielding the Power of the Primordial would barely give a cultivator of the Supreme Law a second glance.
In any confrontation, the Power of the Primordial often obliterates the opponent effortlessly, let alone when a Forbidden Curse skill is employed.
Such clashes involve forces that are not even on the same plane of existence.
However, the Power of the Primordial is not entirely insurmountable.
Both Lin Yi and Wu Jue Dian, who possess the Power of the Primordial, are keenly aware that this power is fundamentally a more potent iteration of Source Power.
Forbidden Curses are brought to bear through Source Power.
On the comparatively frail Blue Star, Forbidden Curses are almost impossible to counter, with only the Power of Law capable of suppressing them.
To compare the intensity of Forbidden Curses with that of the Power of Law is like comparing cardboard to paper.
A mere piece of paper attempting to pierce cardboard would find it absolutely futile, no matter the effort exerted.
And when the Power of Law is contrasted with the Power of the Primordial, it's akin to cardboard against a wooden board; in a direct collision, there is no question as to which holds the superior strength.
Yet, a wooden board is not impervious.
With a substantial number of Supreme Laws striking in unison, the Power of the Primordial cannot immediately disintegrate them.
The immutable principle of energy conservation holds true across all of time.
When the Power of the Primordial collides with Supreme Laws, it possesses the ability to instantaneously disintegrate the latter, as it also annihilates an equivalent amount of energy.
It appears the Power of the Primordial remains unaffected because this annihilation is negligibly small in comparison to its own magnitude.
With the supplementary damage from Nameless Void accumulating, [Demon Wheel Burst] has transcended its status as a mere Forbidden Curse.
The devastation it inflicts is far beyond what ordinary Power of Law can contend with, let alone an entire sky filled with Demon Wheel Bursts.
Taunting strategies are utterly ineffective against an ancient entity who has endured for millennia.
Furthermore, with no spectators present on the Shadow Devouring Star, Wu Jue Dian turning back would be an absurd notion.
But Lin Yi remains unperturbed.
The attributes of the skill [Demon Wheel Burst] are truly remarkable:
It solidifies the Fire of the Demon Realm into a ring shape, condensed within the palm, intrinsically linked to the heart.
Once the skill user focuses on a designated target for more than two seconds, it affixes a mark of destruction upon the target, relentlessly pursuing it until impact.
Beyond its unerring target-lock mechanism, the destructive effect of the Fire of the Demon Realm is quite potent.
Upon igniting the enemy, it diminishes all their attributes by twenty percent, and these flames are inextinguishable.
With such an exceptional skill design, why concern oneself with whether Wu Jue Dian can withstand it?
Ascertaining the skill's trajectory and its ultimate destination by observing its flight path was not challenging; Wu Jue Dian promptly identified the path of the fiery rings streaking behind Lin Yi, reminiscent of nuclear detonations.
Utilizing the Cloud Ascending Mysterious Steps, in a mere instant, Wu Jue Dian created a distance of tens of kilometers between himself and Lin Yi, while also ascending to a considerable height.
Just as he began to believe Lin Yi was squandering Source Power, unexpectedly, those menacing fiery rings, in the very next moment, surged directly towards Wu Jue Dian's location.
Damn it!
Wu Jue Dian cursed inwardly and resolved to further increase the distance, intending to neutralize the [Demon Wheel Burst] with ranged assaults.
A sword forged from Source Power materialized in his palm, radiating a brilliant light.
His wrist rotated swiftly, but regrettably, having been born on Xiang Wuxing and trained exclusively in close-quarters combat, he had never conceived of the existence of spatial abilities in this realm.
The overwhelmingly powerful slash had barely been unleashed, before it could even propagate, when abruptly, the panorama before him underwent a drastic transformation.
"What, how..."
Before Wu Jue Dian could utter the completion of his sentence, countless Demon Wheel Bursts detonated all around him.
The ethereal violet flames enveloped him instantaneously; the resplendent purple luminescence shone intensely, seemingly capable of banishing the entirety of the Shadow Devouring Star's gloom.
Any shadow beast that bore witness to this spectacle, irrespective of its standing, was doomed to perish.
Amidst the quaking and lamentations that reverberated throughout the Shadow Devouring Star, Wu Jue Dian's very essence was utterly consumed.
The earth-scorching, sea-boiling inferno was not the entirety of Lin Yi's arsenal within this technique.
The striking visual phenomenon of the highest order was effortlessly evoked.
The murky heavens were violently rent asunder by an extraordinarily dominating force.
Hundreds of colossal arms abruptly emerged from the chasm in the sky.
Upon closer scrutiny, these limbs bore a resemblance to earth, appearing gray and lifeless, and exhibited no discernible fluctuations of Source Power.
Even Lin Yi found it impossible to comprehend the true purpose of these immense, outstretched appendages.
Fortunately, the aim of these colossal hands was unmistakable. As if following the dictates of the skill, they were there to aid Lin Yi, unfurling savage claws and plunging into the purple flames, relentlessly engaging the trapped Wu Jue Dian.
Good heavens.
The Power of the Primordial could negate substantial skill damage, potentially nullifying thousands of Lin Yi’s Forbidden Curses, but the physical assaults from these behemoths were genuinely vexing.
Should Wu Jue Dian’s stamina falter, and he proved unable to evade sufficiently, he could be pulverized into a fine paste by these immense hands.
The mere contemplation sent shivers down Lin Yi’s spine; Wu Jue Dian would undoubtedly need to deploy every defensive skill in his arsenal to survive.
Through the [Eyes of Golden Flame], Lin Yi could perceive Wu Jue Dian’s pitiable condition within the fiery expanse.
To counteract the inferno of the Demon Realm’s Fire, he was rapidly expending his Power of the Primordial, in addition to the continuous drain of Source Power and the Power of Law.
The unfortunate soul lacked even the time to cast any protective or retaliatory spells against those enormous hands. His spellcasting was brutally interrupted, leaving him vulnerable. He was treated like a volleyball by the giant hands, batted back and forth ceaselessly.
Could such a wretched state still belong to the venerated Martial Emperor?
"Old bastard, hold on. My skill is merely Tier Five and is about to reset. If you cannot endure this onslaught and must face another round, you are as good as doomed."
Lin Yi smirked as a second volley of [Demon Wheel Burst] coalesced.
The Primordial Chaos proved surprisingly potent, propelling the casting count directly to 7446.
Seizing the initiative so rapidly was greatly facilitated by skills pertaining to the space attribute.
Was the reason Feng Sanyou, the pudgy fellow, was recruited by Shenxiao solely for his mastery of a space attribute skill? Shenxiao was certainly not acting without reason.
While space attribute skills might not inflict significant damage, professionals who wield them often rely on teammates to conquer dungeons.
Nevertheless, space attribute skills possess the capacity to generate boundless possibilities.
Consider, for instance, Lin Yi’s current strategy.
The Source Power demand for a Tier Seven skill was indeed negligible, so minor that Wu Jue Dian could afford to overlook it, not even realizing Lin Yi had activated the [Shifting Shadows] skill to relocate all the [Demon Wheel Burst] skills directly before him.
It was at this precise juncture that the momentum began to tip.
In a secluded northern corner of the Shadow Devouring Star, veiled by unending darkness, the reverberations of thunderous breaths could frequently be discerned.
No shadow monster dared trespass upon this domain, for the dormant entity residing within the gloom was the undisputed sovereign of the entire Shadow Devouring Star.
Upon its awakening, if the shadow monsters failed to present an adequate offering of shadows, it would unceremoniously consume the inadequate ones.
Yet, on this particular day, its tranquil slumber was disrupted.
