Zacks unleashes his terrifying "Reversal of Heaven and Earth" skill, turning an undead army's attack back on them. He then uses the resulting surge to propel himself toward Lin Yi, overwhelming him with a series of powerful skills and his battle pet. Zacks gains the upper hand, mocking Lin Yi's perceived weakness.

Those with strength can’t bear to hear mocking words.

Lin Yi is no different.

Even though his temperament is quite mature, even though he knows Zacks has no true intent to kill him, he cannot swallow this insult.

Being subdued like a dog, such demeaning actions, even someone as indolent as a fool wouldn’t tolerate an animal lording over them.

With a thought, Poseidon’s Trident appeared in Lin Yi’s hands.

The next instant, the entire space was submerged in icy seawater.

Even a great god as strong as Zacks was momentarily stunned by the sudden drastic change in the surroundings.

Catching this one-second gap, Lin Yi quickly deployed Light and Shadow Interweaving, instantly teleporting himself several miles away.

"Heh, kid, interesting, even though..."

Just as Zacks was about to say that even in a deep, pitch-black sea, he could see clearly, he was completely dumbfounded.

[Lighting Skill]

[Primordial Chaos*7899]

In this world, there are no weak skills, only foolish users.

Although Lighting Skill is merely the lowest tier of Light Skills, only illuminating the surrounding space without any offensive power.

But who could’ve thought that Lin Yi could use this skill so perfectly in combination with the Divine Artifact?

At the moment he was enveloped by the cold sea water, Zacks’ mind began to race, concluding that he would be besieged by deep-sea monsters in these deep waters.

Yet who would’ve thought that Lin Yi, this kid, wouldn’t play by the rules.

The deep sea was merely a decoy to make Zacks misjudge.

Hoping that sheer size and strength, without any Divine Power, could inflict effective damage on Zacks? That’s nothing but wishful thinking.

Simply abandon offensive results and focus on briefly holding Zacks in place.

Lin Yi has witnessed too much of the strength of Upper-Rank Gods along his journey.

He knows that the abilities of Upper-Rank Gods are quite comprehensive.

Seeing in the dark is child’s play for these Upper-Rank Gods.

They simply need to focus their Divine Power into their eyes to see in the dark as if it’s daylight.

And so, Zacks fell for it almost unconsciously.

A single Lighting Skill offers limited light.

But over seven thousand of them? When gathered together, calling it a small sun would not be an exaggeration.

The moment the white light shone, Zacks, whose vision was enhanced to the max, felt the harshness of the world.

How could he have known that Lin Yi went through such elaborate maneuvers just to momentarily strip him of his vision?

Bang bang bang!

Lin Yi’s fists did not gather Divine Power.

He clearly understands the gap between himself and Zacks; a successful attack is not enough to change the outcome of his inability to defeat Zacks.

Rather than making futile struggles, it’s better to show his momentum.

Utilizing Thunder Skills, he excited the activity in his body’s cells to the extreme, allowing himself to exceed normal speeds.

The muscles in his hands swelled as he relentlessly vented his full anger.

"Enough or not!"

Lin Yi swung his fists quickly, and while doing so, even used his skill to create doppelgangers of himself.

In total, twelve Lin Yis together madly attacked Zacks.

As an Upper-Rank God, Zacks can use his powerful Divine Power to shield himself, making Lin Yi’s attacks ineffective.

But Zacks cannot be immune to the control effects of physical attacks.

The continuous hits gave Zacks a sense of the world spinning.

Though his head was clearly upright a moment ago, just an instant later, his head and neck’s positions seemed indiscernibly swapped several times.

In one moment, he felt himself ascending, only to be struck hard by a powerful kick in the next, sending his entire body crashing downwards.

Lin Yi and his doppelgangers cooperated seamlessly, perfectly, with no flaws; every time Zacks tried to gather some Divine Power or Power of the Primordial in his hands, Lin Yi or one of his doppelgangers would ruthlessly interrupt at the critical moment.

This time, Lin Yi effectively returned the insult he suffered moments ago, making Zacks understand how Lin Yi initially felt.

Enough or not!

Lin Yi’s fists inflicted minimal damage yet were immensely insulting.

Yet, Zacks was not angered by Lin Yi’s words.

Because at that moment, he still hadn’t shown his true power, why not let Lin Yi hit a few more times?

"Hey, kid."

"The farce should end around here."

As Zacks spoke, a special wave of Divine Power radiated from his body.

That peculiar sensation, Lin Yi had never experienced.

He did not know what the resonating Divine Power implied, only suddenly feeling that Zacks, whom he was pummeling, had become a mountain that couldn’t be shaken.

So much so that the attacks from himself and his eleven doppelgangers rebounded back onto themselves, unfailingly knocking them away.

Yes, eleven.

One of them used Light and Shadow Interweaving to rapidly reach Xiyue’s side, using his Chaos Law with Divine Power to successfully free Xiyue from Zacks’ restraint.

Just as Xiyue was freed, she was surprised to see Lin Yi and his doppelgangers all knocked about in disarray.

Zacks, suspended in mid-air, shook his head and began to stretch his body.

His eyes were full of disdain and ease.

"Kid, don’t say, I quite admire your vengeful nature, but, opposing all Celestial Divine Beings with that power is not enough; fighting to the death knowing your weakness, is this fiery stupidity called passion?"

Lin Yi tumbled several times in mid-air before stabilizing himself.

He didn’t understand when Zacks had activated his skill, nor why he suddenly became unshakable, Lin Yi was puzzled.

He tried to call on the two powerful entities within his body to ask for suitable combat strategies.

Yet, unexpectedly, the two entities stayed silent in Lin Yi’s body, without uttering a single word.

"Lin Yi, there’s no choice but to fight; I’ll try to draw out all of Jörmungandr’s power to see if we can inflict substantial harm on Zacks, or at least breach this damn space."

As Xiyue finished speaking, she closed her eyes and began communicating with the Jörmungandr within her for borrowing power.

Alas, history inexplicably repeated itself.

The Jörmungandr within Xiyue also cut off contact, just like Lin Yi’s current situation.

What’s going on?

Could it be that the space created by Zacks restricts Martial Soul’s capabilities?

While Lin Yi was in doubt, a faint, subtle golden glow flickered across Zacks’ forehead.

Precisely when Lin Yi planned to hurl a few Forbidden Curses in response to Zacks, the wily opponent had already darted back right in front of him with an exceedingly ghostly body technique.

"In battle, don’t be distracted by unrelated analyses."
