I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 684: Shadow Devourer King’s Disruption! Has Wu Juedian Been Taken Over?

Upon the somber and desolate planet, an external presence had not been registered for eons, and even the Shadow King himself had not anticipated any entity daring enough to tread upon this realm, consequently instigating such a profound disturbance.

This sovereign, now one with the encroaching darkness, initially harbored intentions of apprehending a few shadow beasts to satiate his ire. However, just as he prepared to make his move, two potent surges of source power resonated within his sensory apparatus.

Despite spending the majority of his existence in a state of profound slumber, the Shadow King retained an acute familiarity with every facet of this world.

He was acutely aware that on the Shadow Devouring Star, it was an absolute impossibility for any other entity of comparable might to manifest besides himself. Upon further, more precise sensing, within the powerful flux of source power, the unmistakable signature of the high-level Power of the Primordial was detected, instantly rousing the dormant Shadow King to full alertness. The obsidian mass, sprawling across tens of kilometers and interspersed with terrestrial soil, began to coalesce, ultimately solidifying into a towering, lithe humanoid figure.

The Shadow King's appendage contorted in an unnerving fashion, subsequently morphing into a mirror of pure jet-black.

He manipulated his facial structure within the reflective surface, sculpting his features to his satisfaction before breaching the ground, rocketing towards the veiled firmament, and swiftly accelerating in the trajectory of Lin Yi and his two companions.

Despite remaining unspoken, Wu Jue Dian's inner monologue was a ceaseless torrent of condemnation directed at Lin Yi.

He was utterly incapable of comprehending the mechanism by which Lin Yi could freely unleash advanced, top-tier skills with such casual abandon, as if merely discarding pebbles.

Contrasting with the realities of Blue Star, on Xiang Wuxing, the concept of skill cooldowns was non-existent. However, advanced skills, irrespective of their echelon, levied a considerable toll on one's source power reserves.

Could it be that Lin Yi's source power was an infinite wellspring?

Furthermore, that peculiar, colossal hand was equally an enigma.

Having endured for over a millennium and confronted countless adversaries, this marked the inaugural instance of his encountering a being utterly unfazed by incandescent flames, capable of launching assaults so formidable they posed a direct threat even to Wu Jue Dian, all without recourse to source power.

Perceiving the precipitous decline of the Power of the Primordial and his internal source power, Wu Jue Dian felt the clammy hand of defeat drawing ever nearer.

Clang!

Struck once more by the gargantuan hand, the densely woven golden luminescence that served as Wu Jue Dian's protective ward finally exhibited nascent fissures.

Were it not for Lin Yi's remarkable regenerative capacity, who could possibly endure such relentless torment?

Recognizing the imperative to shatter this stalemate, Wu Jue Dian ceased his reservations; with a forceful clench of his right fist, the surrounding golden protective light began to recede, eventually transforming into an unyielding, obsidian armor that enveloped him completely.

At this precise juncture, Lin Yi's demeanor shifted to one of profound gravity.

He could distinctly perceive a significant abatement in the Fire of the Demon Realm's eagerness to assail Wu Jue Dian, and Wu Jue Dian's aura had undergone a fundamental, qualitative metamorphosis.

It was no overstatement to posit that the Wu Jue Dian confronting him now was a vastly different entity from the one Lin Yi had previously known.

"Heh, had you permitted my release at an earlier juncture, with your inherent strength, how could you possibly contend with that brat."

The prescience granted by the Eyes of Golden Flame was terrifyingly potent; even as Wu Jue Dian became entirely subsumed by the violet conflagration, Lin Yi's gaze discerned the newly etched, dark sinews tracing patterns across his visage.

As Lin Yi endeavored to employ the Eye of All-Seeing to decipher the precise actions Wu Jue Dian had undertaken, a pair of entirely black orbs, glinting with homicidal intent and an aura of malevolent luminescence, succeeded in establishing a locked gaze with Lin Yi's own.

"Brat, you certainly possess some caliber, compelling this imbecile Wu Jue Dian into such a predicament."

Lin Yi's pupils contracted instantaneously.

Wu Jue Dian, who had moments before been dozens of meters distant, inexplicably broke free from the immolating embrace of the Fire of the Demon Realm and the unidentifiable entity's spatial tether, materializing directly before Lin Yi.

Such an astonishing display of velocity!

Prior to Lin Yi's capacity for reaction, a robust limb, conspicuously marked with a network of dark lines, was already positioned perilously close.

"Hmm?"

A flicker of bewilderment briefly shadowed those pupils, as profound as abyssal voids, and in the subsequent instant, drawing upon the resplendent Power of the Primordial coursing within, it ensnared Lin Yi's neck in an ironclad grip.

"To think you could achieve an untraceable state in mere moments. You truly are remarkable, kid. Had you dedicated even a tenth of Wu Jue Dian's training duration, I would indeed find myself in a precarious position dealing with you."

The somewhat unfamiliar individual now before him exerted a considerable measure of pressure upon Lin Yi.

Judging by his vocal cadence, he was unequivocally not Wu Jue Dian, yet observing his pervasive aura, this newcomer was undeniably the authentic Wu Jue Dian originating from Xiang Wuxing.

The 'Flash' ability had been forcefully disrupted through overwhelming force, relegating Lin Yi to a defensive posture.

One had to concede, the raw power emanating from that intricately lined hand was substantially more formidable than previously encountered; without the immediate activation of the Infinite Ball, a direct confrontation would inevitably result in a significant disadvantage.

As these words were spoken, an immense suction force emanated from Wu Jue Dian’s hand.

With the suction power taking hold, Wu Jue Dian’s muscles, which had been exhausted and withered, visibly began to swell.

At the same time, Lin Yi acutely felt the rapid depletion of his internal source power.

Nevertheless, fortified by Immortal Power and the Immortal Fruit, such mere absorption presented no significant peril to Lin Yi.

Light and Shadow Intertwine!

The spatial attribute skill was instantly unleashed, allowing Lin Yi to break free while Wu Jue Dian was caught unaware.

Yet, before Lin Yi could fully re-establish his balance, another shadow, veiled in chaos, inexplicably materialized behind him.

It was revealed to be another formidable opponent of equivalent prowess!

"Not bad, child! It's unfortunate you were too careless."

The blade, as thin as paper and black as night, ruthlessly impaled Lin Yi from rear to front while he was off-guard.

Simultaneously, bizarre black matter relentlessly flowed into Lin Yi’s body through the inflicted wound.

Three seconds later, the shadowy figure retracted its blade from Lin Yi, snapped its fingers, and gestured towards a stunned Wu Jue Dian.

"Very well, now, engage him at all costs. Either you perish or he does. Having dared to trespass into my Shadow Devouring Star and create such a massive disturbance, none of you shall depart alive!"

Heart-Piercing Shadow Binding, a signature control technique of the Shadow King.

This skill utilizes shadow essence as a blade, piercing the target's body and infusing shadow power to permeate all their meridians, thereby establishing control over the victim.

This particular move has an impeccable record.

Whenever the Shadow King finds an opening, he can decisively end the conflict with this ability.

However, this Heart-Piercing Shadow Binding proved utterly useless against Lin Yi, who wielded the Great Celestial Immortal Skill.

As the Shadow King confidently issued his command, Lin Yi’s mighty fist suddenly impacted his face, sending the Shadow King hurtling towards the devastated ground, carving out a colossal crater.

"Attempting to control me in such a manner, you truly underestimate me, don't you? So, are you both planning to attack me now?"

Lin Yi convulsed his body, causing his bones to audibly pop and expand fully; the colossal phantom of the Thunder God materialized behind him, brandishing a hammer crackling with thunder.
