I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 686: Slacking Off? But You Are the Great Sage Equal to Heaven

The martial artist at the peak, adorned with dark patterns, stood frozen in disbelief.

How could this be possible!

Lin You's prowess was undeniably potent, and her physical resilience was truly astonishing. Yet, Lin You was merely a young woman whose strength rivaled an ordinary War God on Blue Star. How could the Power of the Primordial manifest so unexpectedly within her, and to the extent of reaching the Harmonization Layer? Was this some form of summoning?

The peak martial artist could distinctly feel that the Primordial Power he had infused into Lin You had completely severed its link with him.

In the very next instant, Lin You's form began to shimmer with brilliant golden light.

[Fur Splitting Technique]!

A moment later, a full twelve Lin Yous surrounded the peak martial artist, each wielding a thunderous law implement. What in the world was happening!

The Splitting Skill, a common technique among many cultivators on Xiang Wuxing, was typically quite rudimentary. Clones generated by this skill were not only weak but could only execute basic physical attacks, possessing little durability. It was hardly an exaggeration to say they offered little more than a fleeting distraction against a formidable opponent. However, the Fur Splitting Technique employed by Lin You was entirely different.

The peak martial artist’s keen senses confirmed that every one of the twelve Lin Yous possessed Harmonization Level Power of the Primordial, and the law implements they held were all authentic! Each individual Lin You posed a significant threat to him!

The Devouring Shadow King, lurking in the shadows, also took notice of this peculiar turn of events. Through its Devour ability, it had consumed countless beings of its kind across eons, acquiring their diverse skills. Among these were Splitting Skills, yet those techniques were leagues below Lin You’s [Fur Splitting Technique]. At that moment, the Devouring Shadow King felt an unbidden sense of gratitude; it was fortunate it hadn't impulsively attacked Lin You and her companion.

[Six Dao of Thoughtless Slash Unification]!

Lin You's voice, devoid of emotion, echoed as the twelve illusory clones raised their Heavenly Following Clouds. They gathered the Power of Reincarnation and the Power of the Primordial, then, from multiple vectors, unleashed a barrage of slashes that instantly enveloped the peak martial artist in a whirlwind of dozens of sharp sword qi.

Watching helplessly as the intricate web of sword qi closed in, the peak martial artist's demeanor finally shifted to one of stern seriousness.

[Black Hound True Form]!

A colossal and unsettling demonic aura erupted. The dark mist expanded with destructive force, completely engulfing all of Lin You’s sword qi. Dozens of destructive forces of reincarnation and primordial power vanished without a trace, as if absorbed into an abyss. The dense black fog, akin to a black hole, seemed poised to consume everything.

Just as Lin You prepared to press her attack, Lin Yi activated the spatial ability [Light and Shadow Intertwined], instantly relocating Lin You to his side and deploying the Power of the Primordial as a protective barrier.

"Enough, this situation seems to be escalating beyond our control. You've performed admirably; you may cease now."

It was certainly the first time she had heard such uncertainty in Lin Yi's voice. Typically, Lin You would obediently retreat to the Undead Space and await further orders. However, this time, Lin You felt compelled to take a risk. She couldn't comprehend why, even with temporary access to her master's power, she still needed to evade the peak martial artist's onslaught.

"Lin Yi, my strength is substantial now, and I haven't even employed many of my abilities. I can..."

Lin Yi placed a hand on her shoulder before she could finish. "This entity is far more potent than we initially assessed. Its power even eclipses that of the Divine Envoy Calamity."

What?! Surpassing the Divine Envoy Calamity?!

All the dark energy converged towards Lin Yi's location. In the subsequent instant, a creature with a blue-tinged face, elongated fangs, thick fur, and a muscular physique materialized. Before anyone could get a clear look, its form suddenly appeared where Lin You had been standing, ferociously swiping its sharp claws at her former position.

The speed was so extreme that had Lin Yi not intervened, Lin You might have been decapitated. Subconsciously touching her neck, a chilling sensation washed over her. Wasn't the peak martial artist human? How had he transformed into such a monstrous being? If the inhabitants of Xiang Wuxing were to witness him in this state, would they still recognize him as the Martial Emperor?

Lin You pondered internally.

"Ha, brat, you truly can't resist meddling, can you? I had no intention of revealing myself, but you forced my hand!"

With those words, the peak martial artist's figure flickered, and in an instant, all of Lin You's clones were bisected by colossal claws, shattering into pieces. Lin Yi's most potent passive skill, [Flash], didn't even have a chance to activate!

Truth cannot be false, and false cannot be true. At that very moment, Lin You grasped the profound disparity between herself and Lin Yi. After Sun Wukong had consumed all the soul cores within Lin Yi's storage dimension, his strength and cultivation level had experienced a significant surge.

The highly practical martial soul skill, [Sun Reflects Moonlight], has now been successfully unlocked.

[Sun Reflects Moonlight]

[Category: Martial Soul Skill]

[Rank: Unknown]

[Cooldown: 3 days]

[Duration: 1 hour]

[Chanting Time: Instant]

[Skill Effect: Lin Yi is capable of projecting all of his abilities onto a target.]

[Note: Do you understand what a Divine Skill signifies?]

Initially, the Great Saint playfully withheld revealing the skill's exact effect, intending it as a surprise for Lin Yi. He had simply assumed it would be a temporary enhancement skill, but to his surprise, it was an ability projection. Earlier, the old emperor had cautioned Lin Yi that the Great Saint’s martial soul was rather peculiar. However, looking at it now, where was the catch? Was it merely that more materials were required for upgrades? What was the drawback? Every skill bestowed by the Great Saint’s martial soul is a divine skill; not a single one is superfluous! With the successful unlocking of the [Sun Reflects Moonlight] skill, Lin Yi's might has been elevated by at least one tier. One cannot blame the road for being uneven if one is unable to tread it. The Great Saint’s martial soul might demand more resources, but does it not also yield significant contributions? Lin You’s ability to confidently employ the fur-splitting technique was all thanks to this skill. Lin You was thoroughly aware of Lin Yi’s formidable strength. This is precisely why she implored Lin Yi to grant her another opportunity, a chance to vanquish the peak martial artist. Even so, Lin You was never Lin Yi and could not fully unleash Lin Yi’s true power. It was for this reason that Lin Yi intervened and halted the Overlord of Death from further action. Forcing such a feat out of the peak martial artist was truly beyond even the Great Saint’s prior conjectures. "What course of action should we take, young man? This entity appears to be quite formidable. We have all been stripped of our physical forms, yet its soul remains remarkably intact. It has been nurtured for numerous years within the peak martial artist, and in terms of soul power, it is now even more potent than before. How about we utilize your [Plane Credential] to make our escape?" This is unacceptable, brother! You are the Great Sage Equal to Heaven! To utter such words, does that seem fitting?
