I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 920: Chapter 920: Without Destruction, There Can Be No Creation

The strategy hadn’t been fully discussed when Lin Yi heard a deeply unsettling sound behind him.

He wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination.

In the instant the golden light flickered across Zacks’ forehead, the space around him seemed to freeze momentarily, but this stasis didn’t affect Zacks; it only applied to the Lin Yi clones surrounding him.

Before the dozen or so Lin Yi clones could react, Zacks once again burst forth at an unfathomable speed, appearing directly behind Lin Yi.

In the corner of Lin Yi’s eye, he glimpsed Zacks behind him.

Zacks extended his hands, pressing them against Lin Yi’s and Xiyue’s backs.

From Lin Yi’s perspective, he could clearly see the highly concentrated Divine Power suddenly surging from Zacks’ palms.

For Zacks, the margin for error in battling Lin Yi was very high.

There was no choice—the gap in Divine Power Level between them was just too vast, making it extremely difficult to break Zacks’ defense and inflict substantial damage on him.

Zacks also relied comfortably on his own formidable physique in battle.

In contrast, Lin Yi and his companion were different.

They hadn’t been Professionals for long, and had only wielded Divine Power for a short time. Even with his unimaginable talents, Lin Yi couldn’t elevate his Divine Power to competently contend with Zacks.

Sure enough, when the Divine Power surged from Zacks’ hand, a terrifying gaping wound appeared in Lin Yi’s chest.

Xiyue fared slightly better; perhaps Zacks knew Xiyue lacked the terrifying recovery abilities of Lin Yi, so he only shattered her heart vessels.

Warm, sweet blood gushed from Lin Yi’s mouth.

Having his heart pierced by Divine Power instantly left Lin Yi feeling overwhelmingly weak. Coupled with the impact of the Divine Power blast from his back, Lin Yi was unable to mount any resistance, flipping and bouncing on the ground like a ball.

The black dog powered by Divine Power attacked once more, using its paws to hold Lin Yi firmly down. At this moment, Lin Yi clearly understood what it meant to rely on a powerful patron.

”Kid, I didn’t expect you to hold such a grudge. In all my years traversing the Three Realms and Six Paths, it’s the first time I’ve encountered such a spirited kid as you. I quite like you; you remind me a bit of myself when I was younger. But your speed of development is just too exaggerated.”

”I can’t allow you to grow, so next, you’ll just have to die.”

Pierced by a more advanced level of Divine Power, the Immortal Fruit and Immortal Law could no longer take effect.

Lin Yi could only rely on the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill taught by Zacks to resurrect once.

However, just as his hollow chest healed, Zacks had already placed his right hand back on Lin Yi’s chest, causing another massive burst of Divine Power that overwhelmed him again.

This was the first time Lin Yi felt so helpless and hopeless in battle against an enemy.

Feeling the ruthlessness in Zacks’ assault made Lin Yi doubt his own judgment for the first time.

Was this Zacks really on his side? If so, why was he being so brutal?

Bang, bang, bang～

The twelve Lin Yi clones who were attacking Zacks just moments ago all turned into wisps of white mist and vanished.

There was no helping it; Lin Yi couldn’t maintain the skills any longer.

At this moment, he couldn’t even properly circulate his Divine Power or Taichu, and his body felt as heavy as Mount Tai.

To say the least, he was at the end of his rope.

His eyelids grew heavy, and his vision blurred. In a daze, he saw the black dog obediently retreating to the side, making room for Zacks.

”You used your chance to resurrect just like that, pathetic. Next, there’s no room for error. Your fate is sealed, but I won’t let you die so easily; relish the torment.”

Zacks finished speaking and placed his hand into the bloody cavity of Lin Yi’s chest.

Instantly, a golden sphere of lightning exploded at the wound in Lin Yi’s chest, the golden threads of lightning storming into Lin Yi’s body like piranhas drawn to blood.

Lin Yi’s consciousness instantly cleared, and he could vividly feel Zacks’ Divine Power voraciously devouring his flesh.

Could this really be the end?

Having successfully cultivated the ”Unbreakable” technique of the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill, Lin Yi’s soul had been greatly enhanced.

At that moment, he saw the Great Saint and Wo Zhiqi in his Sea of Divine Consciousness, both watching the battle with legs crossed.

For both the Martial Soul Great Saint and the boarder Wo Zhiqi, Lin Yi’s life or death directly impacted their own existence.

In this unprecedented crisis, both remained exceedingly calm.

”Hey, you two, aren’t you going to step in? Zacks’ strength is terrifying; I’m no match for him. I’ve used all the tricks I have, and I can’t break through the independent space he created.”

Lin Yi stood before the two giants and spread his hands helplessly.

The Great Saint and Wo Zhiqi chuckled.

”You’re a smart kid, haven’t you already guessed his stance? Since you know he won’t really kill you, can’t you figure out why he’s doing this? There are things that won’t change unless they are broken first. Without truly experiencing death, how can you grasp skills you don’t have?”

The Great Saint was the first to respond.

”I thought your perception was quite high, but it turns out you’re just average. You can converse with us within your Sea of Divine Consciousness, which means your soul is unscathed.”

”So, do I need to teach you what to do next? You have many nice things on you, but you haven’t figured out how to utilize them yet.”

Wo Zhiqi wasn’t kidding about the many valuable things on Lin Yi.

Lin Yi’s growth speed was formidable, but compared to other strong individuals, his advancement was solid and reliable.

Along the way, Lin Yi acquired numerous Law Items, even unlocking an Eye of All-Seeing, which was more remarkable than the Great Saint’s Eyes of Golden Flame.

Even ordinary strong individuals could only comprehend at most two or three Supreme Laws, but Lin Yi understood them all.

However, Lin Yi hadn’t done everything perfectly.

Along the way, he was quite negligent in his application of some Supreme Laws.

Take Truth for example.

Cheng Xiao was one of the War Gods who wielded the Truth Law.

He had taken his mastery of the Truth Law to quite an astounding level. From his Sumeru Realm skill alone, one could plainly see his understanding of the Truth Law.

He used the Truth Law to create a skill beyond his usual capability, an independent space that allowed for rapid movement and was exceedingly difficult for opponents of the same Level to capture.
