Chapter 681: Tearing Off the Mask, All-Out War Imminent!

"Thank you, Senior Martial Emperor. I don’t even know how to express my gratitude."

Lin Yi, filled with happiness, shook the Martial Emperor’s hand sincerely and said:

Senior Martial Emperor, you can probably guess what status my power holds on our planet. My skills are nearly maxed out, so I didn’t bring any skill source crystals with me. Why don’t you come with me to my home planet, and I’ll get you some more?

These words from Lin Yi were exactly what Wujue Dian had been waiting to hear.

Suppressing his inner excitement, he proposed traveling to Blue Star under the pretext of helping build a boundary, a perfectly legitimate and noble reason.

"Oh, Senior Martial Emperor, this is a ’Dimensional Token’ I acquired by chance. Hehe, let me tell you, with this item, you can freely bring people to traverse various dimensions. Even if you use this thing to cause a massacre in the galaxy of the Shadow Devouring clan, you’ll still be able to return."

Plotting, both were constantly scheming against each other.

Yet, Wujue Dian hadn’t realized this.

After summoning the three continent elders to entrust some trivial matters, Wujue Dian prepared to set off to Blue Star with Lin Yi.

Of course, to avoid arousing Lin Yi’s suspicion, Wujue Dian confidently insisted he could go alone, so as not to cause unnecessary panic.

As for Lin Yi, he couldn’t be stingy either:

With such hospitality from Xiang Wuxing, the two women could stay here. After all, Martial Emperor Hall had other Spirit Awakening Stones. Let them build the inner court here and cultivate well at this place.

Regarding Lin Yi’s suggestion, Wujue Dian didn’t harbor any suspicion, believing Lin Yi trusted Xiang Wuxing.

Little did he know that this decision would lead him to a place of doom.

Heart exchanged for heart.

You, Wujue Dian, gave Lin Yi the impressive Spirit Awakening Stone, so naturally, I, Lin Yi, wouldn’t hide the useful ’Dimensional Token’.

And once a unique spatial fluctuation shimmered, Lin Yi and Wujue Dian vanished together, the slightest trace of their presence imperceptible.

In about five minutes, the scene before them had transformed.

Under the gray-white atmosphere, the ground was nearly webbed with cracks.

Blue luminescence flowed densely through the cracks like trails of slime left by countless glowing slugs crawling over the planet’s surface.

On the ruined ground, the dust entirely covered the ruins of cities, forming an endless forest, occasionally scattered with sturdy pillars that seemed to be pulsating black masses.

The sickening sight resembled some animal’s throbbing lymph nodes.

Darkness, endless darkness, enveloped the land.

The air seemed invaded by this darkness, turning sticky.

Having completed the spatial jump, Wujue Dian stared at the eerie scene in front of him, his mind nearly frozen.

What on earth is this kid taking me to?

"Lin Yi my friend, is this your home planet?"

Though somewhat presumptive, Wujue Dian couldn’t help but ask.

This environment is too damned awful; is it a place for living?

"What’s wrong, Lord Martial Emperor? Do you find it a bit too barren, too dilapidated?"

Hearing Lin Yi’s response, Wujue Dian quickly explained:

"No, not at all. No wonder Lin Yi my friend could grow so strong in this place devoid of any yang energy..."

Before Wujue Dian could finish, Lin Yi activated "Thunderbolt Flash," then threw a powerful punch hard into Wujue Dian’s chest, catching him completely off guard, leaving his face pale.

This was the first time Lin Yi had performed a sneak attack in his life.

Not to mention, it felt pretty good.

"Lin Yi my friend, what do you mean?"

Wujue Dian’s mind was overwhelmed, how could Lin Yi suddenly start fighting after a friendly chat just moments ago?

"Heh, still asking questions? You old fool, aren’t you aware of your own schemes? I’ve given you a punch and you still haven’t figured it out—who are you pretending for?"

"You were curious about this place, right? This place is Shadow Devouring Star. Didn’t you want to see new places? Here you go, satisfied yet?"

Suppressing the surging blood and energy, Wujue Dian’s previously gentle smile gradually turned menacing.

"Heh heh heh, kid, when did you realize I was scheming against you? I thought I hid it well?"

The battle with Wujue Dian meant only one could leave alive.

This person was destined to be Lin Yi.

Therefore, Lin Yi did not intend to hide anything.

"Law skill... Ah, whatever, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you. I, for one, have the ability to see through others’ hearts. Your red-haired old ghost had all its memories read by me during the fight, surprisingly attacking Dubhe Pavilion, the most important place for Xiang Wuxing, just for a transitional Spirit Crystal. It’s truly unexpected."

"Anyway, it’s pointless to say more. Since we’re both plotting, let’s not blame each other. Let’s fight, and if anyone’s got no skills, they can slowly deal with the Shadow Devouring creatures here."

You...!

Wujue Dian couldn’t hold it together any longer; keeping up the good person act was meaningless, and curses burst out.

"You little whelp! How dare you scheme against the Emperor!"

"Die!"

In a rage, the Martial Emperor unleashed all the Source Power within, causing the space around him to distort instantly.

Next, like a flash, with an incredibly ghostly body technique, he moved behind Lin Yi, a fist enveloped with Power of the Primordial, thrown violently with the intent to pulverize Lin Yi.

Lin Yi wasn’t one to eat dust. Having fully realized War God potential and boosted the Power of the Primordial to Harmonization Level through skill, his solo combat power reached a terrifying degree.

"Just because you shout louder, you think you’re powerful? You’re not a Super Saiyan, huh?"

Both being wielders of the Power of the Primordial—who’s afraid of whom?

Fist against fist, the weaker force will suffer!

Wujue Dian, having resided at the peak for thousands of years, had enhanced all possible abilities, yet in terms of basic attributes, still fell short against Lin Yi.

With various law items’ blessings and the amplification from the "Blessing" skill, Lin Yi’s attributes reached a leading level comparable to planet’s strongest holder.

When it comes to raw power, you Wujue Dian aren’t up to par!

Boom!

The colliding Power of the Primordial exploded in terrifying waves.

The already wrecked Shadow Devouring Star floor experienced a large-scale collapse.

The Shadow Devouring creatures hiding in the crevices hadn’t seen such a dreadful scene before, fleeing swiftly when their home crumbled.

Why choose this place for battle?

This was Lin Yi’s fallback plan.

Underestimating Wujue Dian and unable to beat him, Lin Yi would simply use the ’Dimensional Token’ to escape.

Among equally strong contenders, Wujue Dian challenging all of Xiang Wuxing would have one and only one end—death!
