I Have Infinite Skill Points-Chapter 617: Angel Rebirth

Previously, Wang Lan thwarted the activation of the Time-Space Gemstone twice. The first interception took place in the Different Dimensional Space of the Kingdom of Ice and Snow. With the closure of the Different Dimensional Space, no one except for Wang Lan and a few other parties involved knew how the Time-Space Gemstone had been deactivated.

The second time, in Modu City, even though many people saw Wang Lan intercept the activated Time-Space Gemstone, the Paradise Birds carrying out the mission were all killed. The Paradise Birds, although active in every corner of the world, weren’t the only ones on the job.

As the only person who could deactivate an activated Time-Space Gemstone, this piece of intelligence was classified as the highest international secret. Thus, even now, the Paradise Birds had no idea how the Time-Space Gemstone was deactivated. They simply assumed that Jade Country, after studying the Time-Space Gemstone for so long, had invented some sort of black technology.

This time, the activation was taking place in God’s Country, and moreover, in Demon City. It should have been foolproof, right? Had the Paradise Birds known that Wang Lan was the key to deactivating the Time-Space Gemstone, they certainly would not have activated it first but would have killed Wang Lan instead.

Otherwise, as long as Wang Lan was around, activating the Time-Space Gemstone ten times would be futile. Unfortunately, hindsight isn’t available in this world.

Just as the pillar of light shot into the sky, Wang Lan rushed into the beam like a valve, blocking the energy of the Time-Space Gemstone. This time, not even the signal emitted by the Time-Space Gemstone reached the Demon World before Wang Lan intercepted it mid-air.

"What... this... how is this possible?" The Paradise Bird envoy widened his eyes in utter disbelief. At that moment, he also finally understood what the dying intelligence agents had meant with their last reports.

The key was Wang Lan... So *that’s* what ’the key’ meant? You bastards, couldn’t you have made the intelligence clearer? The key is Wang Lan? Who the hell could have guessed such a key?!

Wang Lan’s phoenix form wildly devoured the energy of the Time-Space Gemstone, and his already half-full container of the Power of Space was once again forcefully filled to the brim.

The overflowing Power of Space suddenly squeezed Wang Lan’s storage container for spatial energy, expanding it quite a bit more.

About ten minutes later, the energy of the Time-Space Gemstone was exhausted. Wang Lan slowly descended from the sky. A dozen Titled Strongmen slowly closed in on the central Time-Space Gemstone emitter.

Regardless of nationality, race, or skin color, nearly all showed the same expression: mockery, sneers.

And the black-armored warriors and the Paradise Bird subordinates, who had lost the protection of the Time-Space Gemstone shield, looked on in horror at the strongmen from various countries who had them completely surrounded—so weak, helpless, and pitiful.

"Kill—" Wang Lan uttered the word coldly.

In an instant, a dozen S-class and super S-class Star Martial Skills plummeted towards the deep pit underground. The two individuals didn’t even have time to scream before they were annihilated in the blast.

Not far behind, on the battlefield, the Hell Monarch stood majestic and confident, seemingly capable of turning armies to ash with a mere laugh. Facing the onslaught of six Star Soul Realm experts, the Hell Monarch handled them with ease.

Although he didn’t have an overwhelming advantage, his strength was indeed superior. Both the Hell Monarch and the Evil spirit were anomalies; their energy seemed inexhaustible. The longer the fight dragged on, the stronger his combat power grew, increasing his chances of victory.

After half an hour of combat, the six Star Soul Realm experts grew anxious. Even for those in the Star Soul Realm, sustaining output for half an hour was a significant strain, and after passing the half-hour mark, their combat power began to decline.

The Hell Monarch in front of them, however, was still formidable, his internal energy seemingly boundless. What was even more difficult for them to accept was that with every exchange, the Hell Monarch met them head-on, and they had no choice but to reciprocate in kind.

"This can’t go on," the Qing Emperor said in the international lingua franca. "We can’t face him one-on-one. We need at least three attacks to hit him simultaneously. The Hell Monarch’s endurance is beyond our imagination; he could fight for three days and nights without any issue."

"Alright, we’ll split into two teams: one to attack, the other to create opportunities for attack."

Being Star Soul Realm warriors, their combat prowess was naturally beyond question. Almost instantly, the two small teams changed formations. Three of them immediately began to harass the Hell Monarch, pinning him down in a tight, enclosed space, while the Qing Emperor resonated his Star Power with three other Star Soul Realm experts.

"Think you can combine your attacks? Not on my watch—" In an instant, the Hell Monarch’s figure blurred, phasing through the blockade of the three like a Ghost. No matter how the three Star Soul Realm experts tried to attack and defend, they couldn’t touch the Hell Monarch at all.

Watching the Hell Monarch so close at hand, the Qing Emperor gritted his teeth. "Withdraw—"

The three had no choice but to interrupt their combined technique and retreat to the sides.

"Do you have any other tactics?" the Hell Monarch asked with an easy smile, having effortlessly broken their spellcasting.

"God Sealing Soul Fixation!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from close by, and instantly, the Hell Monarch’s expression changed drastically. At this moment, the Qing Emperor stood fifty meters behind the Hell Monarch, mysterious ripples of energy emanating from him.

It was as if the wick of a candle was emitting strange waves of aura. Identical eerie ripples appeared on the Hell Monarch, who instantly lost control over his Angel’s Body and was frozen in the sky.

"Damn it, what Star Martial Skill is this?" the Hell Monarch struggled furiously, causing cold sweat to bead on the Qing Emperor’s forehead.

The God Sealing Soul Fixation was a high-level immobilization skill from the Azure Wood God Skill, which Wang Lan had brought back from the Fairy Cloud Sect. The Qing Emperor, after years of cultivation, had only recently mastered this immobilization skill.

It fixed the souls of the user and the target, thereby binding the opponent. The strength of this bond was determined by the distance to the target; the greater the distance, the weaker the binding.

Now, as the Hell Monarch struggled fiercely, almost breaking free from the Qing Emperor’s binding, the Qing Emperor quickly moved closer. They approached each other rapidly, like reflections in a mirror.

Stopping at a ten-meter distance, the Qing Emperor halted.

"Gentlemen, what are you waiting for? Finish off the Hell Monarch in one fell swoop!"

The Qing Emperor was only ten meters away from the Hell Monarch. The combined strike unleashed by the five Star Soul Realm masters would definitely be earth-shattering. Was the Qing Emperor using his own sacrifice to create this opportunity for attack?

Deeply shaken, the five warriors didn’t hesitate. Having faced many life-and-death situations and witnessed numerous sacrifices, they knew that in this world, anyone might need to offer themselves for victory, and they were no exception.

"Damn it, damn you... let me go!"

The struggle to break free intensified, forcing the Qing Emperor to move even closer, until he was almost pressed tightly against the Hell Monarch. The bindings connecting the two became clearly visible to the naked eye.

The Star Power of the five Star Soul Realm masters began to resonate, and terrifying Star Power from heaven and earth surged toward the five like an incoming tide. This scene made everyone involuntarily look toward the battlefield.

"Qing Emperor—"

"Qing Emperor?"

The situation was clear; everyone instantly realized the Qing Emperor’s intention. But... would a Star Soul Realm master really resort to self-sacrifice? This revelation shocked all the Titled Strongmen, and even the Holy Knights, beyond measure.

Wang Lan’s expression changed. Without hesitation, his figure instantly turned into a streak of light and rushed towards the Qing Emperor. The Star Soul Realm masters had completed their charge, while the Hell Monarch was still roaring furiously.

At the critical moment, Wang Lan reached the Qing Emperor’s side and threw a Life Halo at him.

BOOM—

"Ah—bastards! Bastards—"

Amidst the Hell Monarch’s roar, the powerful Star Martial Skill unleashed by the five Star Soul Realm masters engulfed him. Like ice meeting flame, the figures of the Hell Monarch and the Qing Emperor disappeared within the blinding light.

The aftermath quickly dissipated. Looking at where the Qing Emperor had vanished, the faces of the five Star Soul Realm masters were incredibly somber. They had all transcended national interests. While they held allegiances to their respective nations, they weren’t so shortsighted as to be solely concerned with nationalistic standpoints.

They were all humans, belonging to the same human civilization. The fall of a Star Soul Realm master was a colossal loss for all of humanity. There were only twenty Star Soul Realm fighters in the entire world. Now, all three from God’s Country had been lost. With the Qing Emperor from Jade Country also gone, nearly one-sixth had perished.

At that moment, the Life Halo lingering in the void flickered slightly. With a flash, Wang Lan reached its edge and beckoned. A Fetus Bead shot out from the halo. Wang Lan’s action immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Wang Lan tossed the Fetus Bead to the ground. It quickly cracked open and began to develop at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than a minute, an infant appeared before everyone.

But the infant did not stop there. It grew rapidly, and in less than three minutes, a brand-new Qing Emperor stood before the crowd, fully formed.

To say the bystanders were astonished was an understatement – even the Star Soul Realm masters above looked on with faces that betrayed their disbelief. What was this? Resurrection?

"Hey, does anyone have some clothes? Give me a set."

While being naked on the battlefield was common, with so many people watching, even the Qing Emperor couldn’t stand it. Moreover, there were many female Star Martial Warriors present. Soon, a Star Martial Warrior pulled out a set of clothes from their storage space for the Qing Emperor.

The five masters above, though recovered from their initial shock, now looked at Wang Lan with fervent eyes. Although they had long heard of Wang Lan’s unpredictable ability to capture Demon Clan spies and his unmatched strength below the Star Soul Realm, his Medical Star Martial Technique was also unparalleled.

They had heard he was reputed to be the foremost Medical Star Martial Warrior after the Saintess of God’s Country. But now they realized, second to the Saintess? He was clearly the best!

What medical technique could compare to being reborn? Even if it was cheating—to kill and be reborn—that was a true ability! With this power of rebirth, who would fear sacrifice or death? This is unbelievable!

Just as everyone was beginning to relax, their vigilance momentarily lowered, suddenly, a terrifying aura emanated from the rubble beneath them.

BOOM—

A loud explosion erupted, and the gravel underfoot instantly disintegrated, revealing a pitch-black Fallen Angel’s Body within the debris.

"How is this possible?" exclaimed a Star Soul Realm master.

"I didn’t expect that the Angel’s Body could also be reborn. If you hadn’t killed me, I wouldn’t have known it myself... Hahaha!"

As they looked at the fully revived Hell Monarch, everyone’s faces instantly darkened. But when they looked towards the Qing Emperor, he simply shook his head silently. "I am very weak now; I cannot take part in the fight."

"Hahaha... Since you couldn’t kill me, I guess I’ll have to invite you all to die..." The Hell Monarch slowly stepped up into the void, as if invisible stairs lay beneath his feet.

Suddenly, a star ignited in the void, transforming into a stream of light that sped rapidly towards the battlefield.
