Qin Zhu allows Lin Yi to leave the Nine Netherworld with Qin Qianqian, despite her insistence on staying to avenge her sister. Lin Yi uses his contract to subdue the reluctant Qin Qianqian and departs. Meanwhile, Qin Guang, having narrowly escaped an attack, is informed of a major conflict brewing in the Higher Planes.

Qin Guang still didn’t know that his actions had already been discovered by Qin Zhu, and after quickly thinking, he gave his answer.

"I don’t know where a group of guys came from, they’re quite powerful. They launched a surprise attack on me, which left me in this embarrassing state. I’m now preparing to set up an array to recover."

This explanation was reasonable.

The King of the Nine Netherworld’s personal guard didn’t think much of it. After relaying the detailed information to Qin Guang, he immediately turned and left for the front lines.

Watching his father’s personal guard leave, Qin Guang sighed in relief, thankful that his deeds hadn’t been exposed.

He then promptly commanded his subordinates to activate the array for recovery.

Gray-white inscriptions floated up from the ground, swirling around Qin Guang.

These inscriptions emitted a strong Healing Power.

They transformed into strands that flowed into Qin Guang’s body.

As the Healing Power entered his body, the Yin Cold Power brought in by the Nine Nether River was quietly dispelled, and both visible and invisible injuries were rapidly being repaired.

At this speed, it wouldn’t take long for Qin Guang to fully recover.

Just as Qin Guang was contemplating whether he should abandon his plan of rebellion and continue enduring, a flash of bright silver in the distance caught his attention.

That, is that...!

Moving while his body wasn’t fully recovered would result in further injury.

But at this moment, Qin Guang couldn’t care less.

The streak of silver light that was attacking his head contained terrifying Divine Power, and given its sharpness, if he didn’t dodge, it was highly likely to sever his head with one strike.

Mobilizing all his strength, he pulled his two trusted aides, who were treating his wounds, in front of him and then used the momentum to launch himself, successfully dodging the attack.

Indeed, his feelings weren’t wrong.

Revealing its true form, Elegy of the Soul gleamed with a terrifying silver light, seemingly piercing directly into Qin Guang’s heart, making his body tremble uncontrollably.

The two personal guards who had just been healing him turned into two clouds of blood mist under the impact of the silver light, exploding in front of Qin Guang.

"Qin Xinxin, you ingrate. Over the years, have you really improved?"

Looking at the strange yet familiar weapon in front of him and sensing the familiar aura emanating from it, Qin Guang smiled helplessly.

He thought that Lin Yi and his group were completely useless. Even if Lin You had regained his full strength, it would be difficult for him to escape the old ghost’s pursuit. Unexpectedly, everything was unfolding contrary to his plans.

Qin Guang, who wasn’t present, didn’t know how the old ghost lost the battle.

But the backlash from the shattered Lifebound Divine Artifact was enough to indicate that the old ghost had met a miserable end.

After the plan failed, it was inevitable that Qin Xinxin, that is, Lin You, would confront him, but he never expected Lin You’s pursuit to come so swiftly.

Just after Qin Guang’s words, Lin Yi appeared in front of Qin Guang, alongside the Soul-Breaking Skill.

"Qin Xinxin didn’t come. She can’t come, but I’m sure she wouldn’t mind if I killed you."

As Lin Yi’s words fell, the terrifying chill that hadn’t been entirely dispelled retracted into Qin Guang’s body again.

The slight flush on Qin Guang’s face was once again overtaken by paleness.

With the micro-level observation skills of the Eye of All-Seeing and the Eyes of Golden Flame, Lin Yi could even see a faint layer of ice crystals on Qin Guang’s skin.

Suppressing the discomfort in his body, Qin Guang looked up and forward.

Seeing that the person wasn’t Qin Xinxin and sensing the not-so-strong Divine Power fluctuations on Lin Yi, Qin Guang finally sighed in relief, immediately regaining a composed demeanor, and stood up with difficulty, looking at Lin Yi with an extremely arrogant angle:

So, Lin Yi, how did you come to hold her weapon? Could it be that Qin Xinxin is already dead?

The words from Qin Guang were entirely boastful.

After all, given that his Lifebound Divine Artifact had been shattered, he truly couldn’t imagine that Lin You had been taken by the old ghost.

"Ha, you scoundrel, your mouth really is foul. In that case, you should die."

As Lin Yi’s words fell.

Before Qin Guang and his subordinates could make any moves, Lin Yi used an opportunity for an Instantaneous Forbidden Curse, pulling Qin Guang into a separate space he created.

Since Qin Guang didn’t see any sign of Lin Yi making a move or hear any incantation, coupled with the fact that Lin Yi’s Divine Power fluctuations weren’t strong and his youthfulness, Qin Guang utterly underestimated him.

Unexpectedly, with just a moment’s distraction, the other party had already performed an extremely powerful Spatial Skill.

This skill, while having no substantial damage, completely isolated Qin Guang from the outside world, severing all escape routes.

"Lin Yi, you don’t think that by making a contract with Qin Xinxin and becoming her master, you’re qualified to stand before me as my enemy, do you? Your strength isn’t enough to take me on."

In terms of Divine Power fluctuations, Qin Guang was indeed much stronger than Lin Yi.

When Qin Guang was at his peak, Lin Yi defeating him with his own power was indeed unlikely.

But now that Qin Guang was not in his best state, Lin Yi, in a fully recovered state, truly had a decent chance.

"Whether I’m qualified or not isn’t up to you to say, Qin Guang. Prepare to die. Today, even Qin Zhu can’t save you!"

With a grip of his right hand, the Soul-Breaking Skill appeared in Lin Yi’s hand.

[Micro-Fur Clone]

The Soul-Attached Skill was instantly activated.

An identical clone of Lin Yi, emanating the same aura as Lin Yi, appeared behind him.

This, how is this possible!

Clone skills, at Qin Guang’s level of strength, were not uncommon.

But what he hadn’t seen was that the clone’s strength was indistinguishable from that of the original body.

"Impossible! This kid must be using a Blinding Skill!"

Besides this, Qin Guang couldn’t think of any other possibility.

Just as he was about to mock Lin Yi for only being capable of flashy, superficial tricks, a force tens of thousands of times greater than normal gravity was applied to Qin Guang’s body.

Unbeknownst to him, one of Lin Yi’s clones disappeared from in front of Qin Guang and used the Light and Shadow Interweaving skill, appearing behind Qin Guang without warning and applying Gravity Manipulation Skills, forcibly slowing him down.

At the same time, the tens of thousands times of gravity, like a massive boulder, crushed down on the unprepared Qin Guang, forcing him to kneel on the ground.

Instinctively using his arm to support his body, the moment he touched the ground, an icy chill, almost akin to the Nine Nether River’s cold, traveled into Qin Guang’s body through his arm.

The Nine Nether Cold Qi, already hard to resist, resonated with Lin Yi’s Eternal Ice, causing Qin Guang’s blood and Qi to instantly coagulate. Even his Divine Power and Power of the Primordial stalled in their operation.

No, impossible!

A clone that can use a skill like Gravity Manipulation under the level of Forbidden Curse is one thing, but it can even use a Law skill?
