I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 689: The Secret of Wu Jue Dian

After Wu Juedian unleashed its monstrous form and Lin Yi vanished from the dimension, Wu Juedian descended into utter madness.

It rampaged across the Shadow Devouring Star, desperately seeking Lin Yi to tear him to shreds.

However, Lin Yi had already arrived at Xiang Wuxing. No matter how potent the black Zou controlling Wu Juedian’s will was, it possessed no means to track Lin Yi’s whereabouts.

Trapped eternally in this bleak and desolate void, the black Zou’s disposition soured to an unbearable degree.

A burning rage needed an outlet.

The inhabitants of the Shadow Devouring Star inadvertently became the unfortunate recipients of the black Zou’s wrath.

In mere moments, countless shadow creatures met their demise by the black Zou’s razor-sharp claws. It showed no interest in absorbing their strength, only in pure annihilation.

To avert the complete destruction of the Shadow Devouring Star by the rampaging black Zou, the Shadow Devourer King made a personal intervention.

Nonetheless, the significant chasm in their power levels resulted in the Shadow Devourer King's complete and utter defeat.

The black Zou’s straightforward yet devastating attacks were merciless, unleashing absolute destruction. The Power of the Primordial that radiated from its claws plunged even the formidable Shadow Devourer King into misery.

The Shadow Devourer King boasted an astonishingly powerful devouring ability; it could continuously absorb the opponent’s power and even their skills with every exchange.

Surprisingly, this formidable devour ability proved entirely useless against the black Zou.

Were it not for its inherent capability to merge with shadows, the Shadow Devourer King would likely have been brutally slain by the black Zou.

Now, it could only observe from a distance as the black Zou vented its frustrations, uttering curses aimed at Lin Yi.

To vanquish or even destroy the black Zou, the Shadow Devourer King, concealed in the darkness, began to voraciously consume its own people while chanting, earnestly hoping the planet’s will would offer aid. This was the sole hope for the Shadow Devouring Star’s survival.

Despite its desperate efforts, the Shadow Devourer King’s actions proved entirely in vain.

When faced with absolute power, even the concept of escape became an unattainable luxury.

The moment the black Zou regained its focus, its senses re-established a lock onto the hidden Shadow Devourer King in under three seconds.

"Haha, you truly believe you can defeat me with such meager strength? You underestimate me!"

The activation of planetary will demanded significant time and focus for its guidance. The Shadow Devourer King was absorbed in this crucial task, oblivious to the terrifying god of death lurking directly before it.

The beast’s grotesque visage, contorted into a menacing grin, was profoundly unsettling.

Before the Shadow Devourer King could even register the threat, the black Zou extended its elongated, wickedly sharp claws, seizing its neck. This left the Shadow Devourer King utterly bewildered, questioning the impossibility of the situation.

"My form can shift into a shadow instantaneously; ordinary strikes should be completely ineffective!"

The black Zou’s limb was encased in grotesquely powerful muscles, practically throbbing with raw might.

Yet, what truly overwhelmed the Shadow Devourer King was the presence of the Power of the Primordial, a force far exceeding the Harmonization Level, coupled with an uncategorizable power it could not begin to comprehend or counter.

"I… I haven’t offended you… you…"

The Shadow Devourer King struggled to articulate a few fragmented words, its current demeanor a stark contrast to the majesty of a star’s ruler.

"Silence!"

Just as the black Zou prepared to crush the Shadow Devourer King, a distinct spatial anomaly rippled through the distant void. A familiar aura emanated from the disturbance.

Indeed, it was that young man!

Detecting the aura of the approaching presence, the black Zou’s grin widened impossibly, revealing all its menacing fangs. It was no exaggeration to say its excitement reached a fever pitch.

The Shadow Devourer King, now held loosely in its grasp, suddenly lost all appeal. The singular focus became the primal urge to obliterate Lin Yi, the only true outlet for its volcanic rage.

"You wretched brat, how dare you show yourself again! I will…"

With its claws raised high, poised to bring down unimaginable fury upon Lin Yi’s skull, the scene before the black Zou abruptly shifted.

This was an experience not unlike one had shortly before! Dimensional translocation!

As it wasn’t the first time traversing the dimensional expanse between Xiang Wuxing and the Shadow Devouring Star, this journey proved significantly more swift.

Before its fatal blow could land, the black Zou found itself positioned directly above the familiar imperial city.

Met with the bewildered stares of thousands, the black Zou’s processors felt akin to being on the verge of a critical overload.

This imperial city was a place it had yearned for across millennia.

Prior to the black Zou’s soul inhabiting Wu Juedian’s vessel, it had maintained vigil within the profound cold and utter blackness for tens of thousands of years, guarding its master’s domain.

A realm devoid of color, characterized only by unending darkness.

Deprived of delectable sustenance, subsisting solely on an endless supply of fish and shrimp.

Emerging at long last from those desolate days into the vibrant light of day, only to be bisected by a powerful warrior intent on avenging its master’s downfall.

Inside Wu Juedian's body, the entity known as black Zou had observed Wu Juedian's entire journey, while Wu Juedian, in turn, had drawn considerable power from black Zou for his martial cultivation.

The glamorous life within the martial world, along with the lavish feasts and drinks following fierce battles, filled black Zou with a deep sense of longing.

As Wu Juedian eventually reached the pinnacle of success, with his beloved by his side and ruling the planet Xiang Wuxing as its supreme overlord, his life became one of unparalleled luxury.

Witnessing Wu Juedian grow weary of his opulent surroundings, treating countless exquisite dishes and beautiful women with disdain, black Zou was almost driven to the brink of madness.

During this period, black Zou repeatedly tried to tempt Wu Juedian, urging him to temporarily relinquish control of their shared body, but Wu Juedian remained steadfast in his resolve.

Consequently, black Zou could only focus on strengthening its soul power, perpetually seeking an opportunity to seize control.

Wu Juedian's prior insistence on the necessity of gaining more power, warning of impending doom, was actually a deception aimed at Lin Yi and the others.

The truth was, Wu Juedian desired more power due to the escalating pressure from black Zou, sensing his grip on black Zou's soul was diminishing.

To prevent being overtaken, his only recourse was to vigorously accelerate his own cultivation.

What Wu Juedian had not anticipated was Lin Yi seeing through his meticulously crafted plan.

Faced with an insurmountable gap between himself and Lin Yi, Wu Juedian had no choice but to temporarily cede control of his body to black Zou in order to ensure his survival.

Upon detecting disturbances in the spatial energy, the Martial Emperor Guards immediately directed their attention towards Lin Yi and the entity with him.

Lin Yi was a familiar face to them.

However, who was this monstrous being beside Lin Yi, radiating the aura of a Martial Emperor yet appearing in such a grotesque form?

Noticing the widespread confusion among the onlookers, black Zou reluctantly relented, exerting all its effort to suppress its own imposing aura and disguise any physical transformations, even at the significant cost of its own strength.

All of this was done to restore Wu Juedian's original appearance.

"Martial Emperor Guards, what are you waiting for? Act quickly! This individual is an enemy of Xiang Wuxing! Capture him for me!"

As Lin Yi departed, the Eternal Power that had bound the Martial Emperor Guards gradually weakened, restoring their freedom of movement.

Once they were no longer in the same spatial plane, maintaining such absolute control became impossible.
