Lin Yi forces Moloch to fight Xiyue, but forbids lethal force. As Moloch complies, War Gods from the Beautiful Country interfere, demanding Lin Yi pay for past kills. Moloch, angered by their ignorance, incinerates them with divine fire. Xiyue and Moloch then begin their battle.
Given how the Beautiful Country operates, their elite forces will soon infiltrate Maoxiong’s territory, inevitably leading to a conflict. However, if he revealed too much, and Moloch managed to survive the confrontation with Xiyue, Maoxiong would face utter annihilation. After a brief period of deliberation, Nislafov resolved to feign ignorance. Precisely as foreseen. Within the Parallel Beautiful Country, chips were embedded in their War Gods to monitor their location and physical condition. Upon receiving confirmation of the complete destruction of the dispatched War Gods, the highest echelons of the Beautiful Country were enraged. Following failed attempts to establish contact with Maoxiong, the foremost War God of the Beautiful Country, Thunder, led a contingent of over a hundred elite professionals to Maoxiong. He Shuai was not inactive during this time. Xiyue completely disregarded him, and the monstrous Moloch didn't even acknowledge his presence, accustomed to receiving priority, He Shuai had never experienced such profound humiliation. Therefore, during a moment of distraction as Xiyue and Moloch were locked in combat, he discreetly departed from the investigating team and notified the Parallel Xia authorities, reporting that War God Xiyue had resurfaced and was beyond control. Lin Yi observed the unfolding events. However, Lin Yi harbored no intention of intervening. The Parallel Xia on this planet starkly differed from the Xia that Lin Yi envisioned, and since this Parallel Blue Star’s Xia had offered him nothing of value, he felt no inclination to sympathize with this planet’s Xia. What requires urging shall be urged, and what requires utilizing shall be utilized. One cannot dispute that battles between true masters offer an unparalleled spectacle. Particularly when a master relentlessly probes the limits of your endurance, launching every assault at the very precipice of your capacity. This rigorous training regimen maximally accelerates the enhancement of one's power. Whenever Xiyue sustained injuries or succumbed to exhaustion, Lin Yi would promptly step in to restore her condition. This intense engagement persisted for two hours until elite professionals from various nations of Parallel Blue Star began to converge at the location. By this juncture, significant transformations had already transpired within Maoxiong’s territory. Across the expansive icefield, a colossal, translucent, dome-shaped protective barrier materialized without warning. It enveloped Xiyue and Moloch, who were locked in fierce combat. Xia’s rich cultural legacy, spanning millennia, coupled with the analysis of a highly esteemed elder, led to the identification of Moloch’s true nature. Upon witnessing Xiyue’s battle against Moloch, they could not refrain from accusing He Shuai of fabricating military intelligence. In what way is Xiyue uncontrollable? Is it not apparent that she is fighting the monstrous entity for the very future of Blue Star? Furthermore, she even erected such a formidable barrier solely to ensure the safety of individuals not involved. Initially, as the War Gods from different nations assembled within Maoxiong’s domain, a sense of composure prevailed as they observed Xiyue’s duel with Moloch. However, as the assembly grew, the War Gods representing countries of Parallel Blue Star, incited by the Beautiful Country, started to exhibit growing agitation. The Beautiful Country had suffered the loss of numerous high-ranking War Gods and found themselves compelled to witness Xiyue’s seemingly futile attacks against Moloch; how could the War Gods of the Beautiful Country endure such a situation? They immediately pledged to take personal action for retribution. Although the vanguard had reported the terrifying and seemingly invincible might of the fiery entity, the subsequent War Gods refused to heed their warnings, even suspecting their nation’s vanguard War Gods had been cowed into submission. However, upon attempting to intervene, they discovered that the barrier, erected by the Eternal Law to contain Xiyue and Moloch, could not be breached by individuals of ordinary capability. Despite the concerted efforts of several thousand elites gathered at Maoxiong in Parallel Blue Star, the barrier remained unyielding, displaying not a single fissure, while those lacking sufficient power endured the backlash from the Eternal Law. Regardless of the external disturbances, Xiyue and Moloch, engrossed in their intense battle, remained oblivious to the commotion. Yet, for Lin Yi, the Caster, this external interference proved exceedingly vexing. Initially, Lin Yi meticulously observed their intense duel, diligently restoring Xiyue’s stamina and vitality while offering strategic advice, pinpointing areas for enhancement in her combat prowess. As a greater number of individuals began to assault the barrier, Lin Yi’s irritation escalated. The relentless barrage of attack notifications directed at the barrier deprived Lin Yi of the necessary tranquility to properly appreciate the unfolding battle. Lin Yi wasted no time and, with a mere thought, instantaneously relocated himself outside the barrier’s confines. Beyond the barrier meticulously constructed by the Eternal Law, a cadre of elites from the Beautiful Country were assiduously striking the barrier, entirely unaware of the formidable presence that had materialized behind them.

"Hey, hey, look what we have here! What are you all doing?"

Lin Yi's sudden appearance caused the group from the Beautiful Country to jump in surprise.

Just as War God Thunder from the Beautiful Country was about to offer an explanation to Lin Yi, one of his subordinates quickly interjected.

"War God Thunder, this fellow is with that woman. I personally witnessed him setting up the barrier just moments ago."

Hearing this, War God Thunder's interest was piqued.

He channeled the thunderous power within him, accelerating his cellular activity to its absolute limit. This unleashed the very speed he proudly proclaimed as the strongest War God of the Beautiful Country.

As he surged towards Lin Yi, he conjured the Thundering Claw, launching a ferocious strike aimed directly at Lin Yi's neck.

The fierce glint in his eyes, coupled with the crackling thunder energy on his arm, made it abundantly clear that War God Thunder intended to subdue Lin Yi with a single, decisive blow.

Unfortunately for him, such a feat was far from simple.

How could the speed of someone unable to even gauge Lin Yi's true might possibly pose a threat to him?

Lin Yi didn't even need to employ the passive skill [Flash]; a mere trickle of Eternal Power was sufficient to noticeably impede War God Thunder's astonishing speed.

As War God Thunder confidently executed his charge, Lin Yi merely tilted his head, deftly sidestepping the incoming assault.

"What’s this? Resorting to brute force now?"

Lin Yi's sheer agility truly astonished War God Thunder.

Feeling utterly invincible, he wasted no time and immediately unleashed his advanced technique—the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon.

The heavens above Parallel Maoxiong rumbled with thunder, and in the clear daylight, several incredibly lifelike thunder dragons emerged from the clouds, extending their fearsome heads.

"You certainly possess some skill, managing to evade a strike from this War God. However, this marks your end. The one ensnared within your barrier is an enemy to our Beautiful Country. Once I defeat you, the barrier will naturally dissipate."

With those words, War God Thunder infused his Source Power into the thundering energy, guiding the thunder dragons descending directly above Lin Yi.

To ensure Lin Yi had no escape route, he even utilized an instantaneous control skill, forming an impenetrable cage of Thunder Elements around him.

Coming all the way here to fight, one had to admit, War God Thunder was remarkably audacious.

Yet, in the very next second, War God Thunder's expression contorted into one of extreme grimness.

Lin Yi calmly raised his Void Hand, intercepting the thunder dragon as it roared and dove towards him.

War God Thunder initially believed Lin Yi was wildly overestimating his capabilities, only to witness Lin Yi, without invoking any Source Power whatsoever, effortlessly neutralizing his signature, proud skill.
