I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 685: Lin You Challenging Xiang Wuxing’s Strongest?

The shadow of the Thunder God, its eyes blazing with reverence, manifested as a colossal armored apparition that shielded Lin Yi from all malevolent energies, granting him a tranquil space to meticulously observe the two formidable combatants.

As his declaration concluded, an overpowering thunderous domain unfurled, suffusing every inch of space around Lin Yi and the Thunder God’s phantom with a dense, visible web of electrical currents.

[Forbidden Curse: Purple Sky Celestial Monarch] had commenced its activation.

Lin Yi, with nascent purple lightning flickering within his gaze, surveyed Wu Jue Dian and the two super-powered assailants now closing in, his expression utterly devoid of any apprehension.

The abrupt appearance of this thundering grandeur left both the Devourer Shadow King and Wu Jue Dian in a state of stunned astonishment.

Unlike the predominantly practical, effects-light skills of Xiang Wuxing, their limited imaginations were ill-equipped for such a spectacle, leaving even a mighty figure like Wu Jue Dian witnessing this for the very first time.

Whether a technique proves effective in combat is one matter; whether it possesses profound visual impact is a lifelong pursuit!

At their elevated cultivation levels, when confronting adversaries of lesser might, swift and decisive eliminations were the norm. Against peers of equal standing, however, regardless of a skill's practicality, landing a killing blow in a single stroke proved exceedingly difficult, making more pragmatic abilities the preferred choice.

"Insolent brat, you revel in ostentation! Show some humility in my presence!"

Wu Jue Dian roared in indignation, and in the blink of an eye, his form dissolved, his formidable aura radiating outwards for miles. Lin Yi's [Eye of All-Seeing] and [Eyes of Golden Flame] were momentarily deprived of their target.

Mercifully, the [Tombstone Inscription] state remained perpetually active, enabling Lin Yi to preemptively detect the incoming black flame blade originating from behind him.

As Wu Jue Dian initiated his assault, a flash of piercing white light ignited within his darkened irises.

In the subsequent instant, Lin Yi materialized abruptly, outside the bulwark of the thunderous majesty, without any prior indication.

Behind him, a barely perceptible shadow of dark energy coalesced, revealing Wu Jue Dian's reappearance.

Wu Jue Dian had achieved elemental transformation in his humanoid guise, flawlessly circumventing Lin Yi's superior perceptive capabilities.

In this transformed state, Wu Jue Dian's offensive prowess was truly remarkable!

Just as Lin Yi prepared to question Wu Jue Dian on why he should adopt a more reserved stance and evade his sharp edge, intending to retaliate with a devastating Law Slash, a familiar voice suddenly resonated in his ears.

"Heh, attempting a surprise attack, isn't it? Not so simple, hm?"

The fabric of space behind Lin Yi warped momentarily, and a shadowy figure erupted from the Undead Space, brandishing the Law artifact, Heavenly Following Cloud, managing to narrowly parry Wu Jue Dian's strike.

A summoned creature?!

Both Wu Jue Dian, in his darkened state, and the Devourer Shadow King recoiled in shock.

The summoned entity's capabilities were unexpectedly potent, effortlessly neutralizing a formidable blade attack.

Lin You, gripping the Heavenly Following Cloud, her arm trembling and teeth gritted, uttered this line with evident strain, her strength clearly inferior to Wu Jue Dian's.

Nevertheless, for a summoned being, possessing such impressive combat efficacy was a source of considerable envy.

"Lin Yi, I am no match for this individual; my emergence might only complicate matters for you."

Lin Yi comprehended this situation with perfect clarity.

Lin You, not yet in her full prime, was indeed incapable of contending with Wu Jue Dian.

However, the notion for Lin You to intervene in the battle was not Lin Yi's initial proposal.

"Fear not, young one, focus solely on the fight. When you can no longer keep pace, a solution will naturally present itself."

As Lin Yi spoke, his pupils flared golden. Lin You, sensing the presence of the Great Saint martial soul, immediately understood that it was not Lin Yi conversing, but rather the martial soul, Sun Wukong.

Although not a direct command from Lin Yi, the act of relinquishing control of his body to Sun Wukong signified his delegation of such authority.

"Understood!"

Responding with decisive resolve, Lin You swiftly propelled herself through the void. The Heavenly Following Cloud trailing behind her sliced through the heavens, invoking the imposing Purple Sky Celestial Monarch to meld into the blade.

With her acceleration, Lin You became an indistinct blur, vanishing from sight and leaving only the lingering crackle of purple lightning in the encroaching darkness.

"This girl is quite audacious, unafraid of exhausting herself!" Lin Yi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, observing Lin You achieve a velocity rivaling his own peak performance.

She had harnessed the Power of Thunder, enhancing her own physiological functions to their absolute limit, generating a speed that even surprised Lin Yi.

A quick check of her status panel revealed that Lin You's speed, offensive power, and strength attributes were nearly on par with his.

"Heh, this young lady is far more extraordinary than you perceive. You understand the reason for her body's capacity to unleash such terrifying speed? It is because her inherent physical strength far surpasses your current estimations."

Lin Yi had indeed pondered such a possibility before; he simply hadn’t anticipated such extravagant praise from Brother Monkey.

As Lin Yi’s gaze followed the incessant flickering of the purple electric light, the Devourer Shadow King’s emotions began to churn.

When Lin You’s silhouette reappeared, a visible manifestation of the Power of Law was already converging upon her sword, suffused with a resplendent, soul-captivating luminescence.

[Six Paths of Thoughtless Slash Unification]

The edge of the Heavenly Following Cloud Sword shimmered, channeling the potent force of the Six Paths into its Sword Qi. This energy, intertwined with an overwhelming thunderous majesty, swept towards Wu Jue Dian. Without any attempt at evasion from Wu Jue Dian’s end, the strike grazed his face.

From the Sword Qi that was plainly visible before him, an aura capable of annihilating all existence emanated. Yet, Wu Jue Dian remained utterly unfazed, allowing this destructive power to cascade harmlessly across his visage.

"Hehe, little girl, you don’t truly believe your power can pose a threat to me, do you? Utterly naive!"

With a frigid snort, as these words left his lips, the Power of the Primordial surged forth, inserting itself between the Six Paths Unification Slash and Wu Jue Dian.

Crack!

A sharp, resounding crack echoed through the heavens and earth. The Sword Qi of the Unity Slash disintegrated into dust. Before the debris had even fully dispersed, an unnervingly long, black hand emerged from behind Wu Jue Dian, instinctively reaching out to seize a bolt of purple lightning.

At this precise moment, Lin You’s figure fully materialized, the purple lightning still crackling and surging across her body.

Within mere moments, the luminescence surrounding her completely faded.

The formidable Power of the Primordial proved utterly unstoppable when pitted against Lin You.

In the span of a single breath, it penetrated her body, transforming into countless sharp, needle-like spikes. These spikes proceeded to pierce and seal every single inch of her muscles and veins.

A profound sense of exhaustion washed over Lin You’s entire being.

Wu Jue Dian’s genuine display of power was such that she could not withstand even a single move, starkly revealing the terrifying might wielded by Wu Jue Dian.

Observing the scene, Lin Yi harbored no intention of intervening. Something imperceptible had been set in motion by the Devourer Shadow King, presumably lurking in the shadows. Wu Jue Dian had not immediately detected its presence.

However, given the comparable strengths they possessed, a modicum of caution would suffice to ward off any surprise assaults.

"You have no intention of intervening, is that it? In that case, I shall proceed to obliterate your moderately potent summoned creature!"

Wu Jue Dian, his form now completely blackened, displayed a savage glint in his eyes. He then directly detonated the Power of the Primordial that resided within Lin You.

"Hehe, you merely need to exert a small effort, you....."
