I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second-Chapter 576: The Pride That Must Be Defended—So What If Moths Fly Into the Flame?
Before Lin Yi could speak, Zacks had already taken the lead, expressing what Lin Yi had in mind.
"Why I’m appearing here, you have to ask yourself. You, young man, really like to act recklessly. Sometimes, if you make some concessions, wouldn’t you be able to live safely?"
"Isn’t there an old saying in Xia that says those who recognize the times are the outstanding ones, and a true warrior can yield and stand firm? Is it worth paying such a price for a promise?"
Lin Yi couldn’t understand why, after his death, his consciousness would meet Zacks.
Thinking that everything that needed to be resolved had already been resolved, Lin Yi simply sat down.
"There’s no other way; I am just like this."
"Things that I promise to do, I must accomplish. The Great Saint gave me trust and helped me through a difficult time. How could I do something to betray him while he’s asleep?"
"As for my family and friends on Blue Star, this is all I can do."
Zacks wasn’t in a hurry to reply.
He walked slowly to Lin Yi, lowered himself gently, and sat opposite Lin Yi.
"The pain of sacrificing all skills and Power of Law is not something an ordinary person can endure. Young man, you are really something. As for why you are seeing me, it is because during your battle with that Calamity, you accidentally used Divine Power."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi nodded.
This was something unavoidable.
Even though Calamity was just a mere worker for the big shots of the upper plane, its strength was far beyond what Lin Yi could compare. Without risking everything, there really was no chance of victory.
"So, are you here to laugh at me? Laugh at me for not taking your advice and choosing to join your Upper-Rank Divine Realm?"
"To be honest, I somewhat regret it, but not much."
The handsome face showed a faint smile.
The unruly spirit between his brows highlighted Lin Yi’s arrogance.
Having said this much, it was truly surprising that Zacks had no intention of being angry.
"You, young man, besides having great skills, your skill with words isn’t bad either."
Zacks said with a smile.
His gaze started to become somewhat complex.
Upper-Rank Gods are the rulers of All Heavens and the Myriads of Worlds.
Among countless planes, there are innumerable outstanding geniuses.
Those who possess such terrifying powers really have no need to go through all this trouble just to laugh at Lin Yi.
"Alright, I’ll help you this time. If such an interesting young man like you were gone, this world would become a lot more boring."
As Zacks finished his sentence, he gently raised his right hand. A thought crossed his mind, and a stream of light emerged and coiled around his fingertip.
The series of actions were executed seamlessly, and the stream of light shot into Lin Yi’s forehead without him being able to react, disappearing entirely.
This scene made Lin Yi display an expression of disbelief. When he realized what had happened, not only had the stream of light completely absorbed into his head,
but even the figure of Zacks, who was sitting in front of him just a moment ago, had disappeared without a trace.
As Lin Yi was puzzled, Zacks’s voice echoed within his conscious space.
"Young man, this method can save your life and restore your sacrificed skills. This method is immensely powerful and wonderfully mysterious. How much you can learn from it depends on your capability and understanding!"
"This cultivation technique is called Eight-Nine Mystical Skill, or Ninth Transformation Primordial Skill."
"Once cultivated to great success, the physical body becomes immortal, and everything changes. The art lies within your mind."
After a brief introduction, Zacks began reciting the cultivation mantras of the [Eight-Nine Mystical Skill]:
"In the Six Realms and Myriad Stars, everything is encompassed within the Tao."
"Yang flourishes to nine, Yin wanes to eight. When eight and nine converge, that is the pinnacle!"
.....
"Cultivate the mystery of Eight-Nine, and roam freely between heaven and earth."
Initially, Lin Yi did not intend to follow Zacks’s advice to cultivate the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill.
Upon further thought, if he could live, wouldn’t that mean Blue Star could be saved?
Thus, Lin Yi activated the source energy within him, following the Laws described by Zacks, and began to operate.
Blue Star, Polar Region. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Under the gaze of the powerful ones, Lin Yi stood motionless, standing there as the blood within him gushed out.
"What’s happened to Lin Yi the Great?"
All along the way, Lin Yi achieved countless extraordinary feats.
He even managed to share his skill points with other professionals.
In the eyes of many powerful figures on Blue Star, Lin Yi was virtually an omnipotent god.
But today, this omnipotent god was finally about to fall.
Calamity gently shook its wings, with few feathers left, and slowly descended, intending to reach out and touch Lin Yi’s remaining body to reclaim the Great Saint’s martial soul hidden within him.
Once achieved, its task would be complete.
But just as it stepped out, the War Gods on Blue Star had already made their move.
To Upper-Rank Gods, they were insignificant.
Especially those War Gods who only possessed ordinary Power of Law; they did not even catch Calamity’s attention.
Such a group of professionals, who were no threat in Calamity’s eyes, though knowing they were no match, did not display the slightest fear.
Everyone could clearly sense the absence of life force within Lin Yi’s body and also knew Calamity was here for something hidden within Lin Yi.
As long as Calamity took it away, Blue Star would be safe.
All the various professionals needed only to focus on dealing with the Izak creatures continuously pouring out of the Space Channel, and Blue Star would surely attain victory.
After Xia’s coordination, strong individuals from various countries obtained a large amount of resources to enhance their strength through Lin Yi’s help, long ago letting go of past grudges and becoming true comrades.
Even though the guiding light showing the way forward had been extinguished at this moment, they didn’t want to concede just like that.
Anything Lin Yi left behind must not be taken!
"Die!"
Old Cat Wan Chong Mountain took the lead and launched an attack.
A giant cat paw shadow appeared out of nowhere, smashing down fiercely towards Calamity’s head.
If this skill targeted a mountain, it would surely cause landslides and ground cracking.
Against Calamity, the effects were nearly nonexistent.
The cat paw struck accurately, but as it was about to hit Calamity, it burst like a balloon pricked by a sharp pin.
"Ha, Old Cat, you can’t make it either; watch me!"
Zhou Heyu’s aged face lit up with vitality once more.
To the Upper-Rank God Calamity, Blue Star was not lacking in rookies.
But even the rookies on Blue Star had their own pride. There wasn’t a single coward on the entire battlefield!
"Five Peaks Fall Attack!"
Wrinkled hands moved swiftly, forming seals one after another.
The five towering mountains of Xia crashed down with a roar!
"Teacher, we’ll help you!"
Under the sky of the polar region shrouded in purple brilliance, countless rose petals suddenly appeared. As if guided, they all drifted towards Calamity’s emaciated figure, exploding when they got close enough.
The dazzling crimson momentarily overshadowed the dim purple glow.
Earth dragons soaring skyward, a rain of golden arrows covering the sky, colossal hammers and swords, tangible and several miles long, all appeared nearly simultaneously, aiming for the same target—the Black Crow Calamity!
