Chapter 1142 The Ultimate Skill

Facing other high-ranking gods, the Great Sage and Wuzhiqi could indeed ignore them. Even though the Great Sage and Wuzhiqi were only souls left and their strength was less than one-tenth of what it was in life, they could still stand out among the heroes.

But when facing a Celestial King, these two great gods really had little confidence.

It is true that the Celestial King's divine power level is A, but you cannot use ordinary A-level combat power to measure the Celestial King's strength. A-level divine power is not the upper limit of the Celestial King's strength, but because A-level is the highest level of divine power.

During their time inside Lin Yi's body, Da Sheng and Wu Zhi Qi lived quite comfortably. If the two did not actively reveal their strength, even ordinary top-level gods would not be able to detect the existence of these two powerful figures.

However, in front of the Celestial King, the two big shots felt as if they had been directly seen through and were completely exposed.

The two big shots even felt that the Immortal King's divine power clone was not staring at Lin Yi, but at themselves.

"Lin Yi, I didn't expect that I would meet you so soon, and in this way. Even though I am just an avatar of divine power, I am qualified enough, don't you think?"

Lin Yi could no longer heed the Immortal King's words.

Knowing who the other party was and sensing the terrifying aura emanating from them, Lin Yi felt an unprecedented tension.

So what if he has divine power to create clones?

Lin Yi could clearly sense that all his clever tricks were futile in the face of this top-tier expert's clone.

Whether it's the overpowered passive ability Zack left him, his diverse skills, or even the two powerful external artifacts he finally acquired, they are all just flashy gadgets in front of the Celestial King.

Even if the Immortal King didn't reveal any other methods besides his powerful aura, Lin Yi could imagine that his seemingly unbeatable moves would be completely ineffective against the Immortal King.

Others can break through all laws with a single force, so why can't a Celestial King?

Lin Yi felt that his chest was much heavier than before, and breathing became extremely difficult.

His limbs were stiff as if they didn't belong to him. He knew that a great enemy was at hand, and that he would never be the enemy of the person in front of him, but he couldn't move his feet even an inch.

He tried to use the [Light and Shadow Interweaving] skill to create distance between himself and the Celestial King's divine power clone, but found that the space around him was forcibly distorted. Not only were the changes irregular, but even the flow of his own energy became stagnant.

Damn it! This damn oppressive feeling, is this the true power of the ruler of the Three Realms and Six Paths?

If the Immortal King had participated in the previous battle, would the Dark Rising Organization have won so easily?

“Young man, don’t be so nervous. I am your senior, I have lived so many years longer than you. In terms of seniority, I don’t know what level of senior I should be to you. If I ask you a question and you don’t answer it, isn’t that a bit too impolite?”

The divine power clone's words made a lot of sense. Whether it was because Lin Yi felt somewhat ashamed or because he was intimidated by the Immortal King's powerful aura, he could only nod stiffly.

Luo Bingxin was very nervous.

She knew perfectly well that with her strength, she had little chance of winning against Lin Yi and his clone. She was just worried about how to resolve the battle with Lin Yi when the Immortal King arrived.

Luo Bingxin put away the token.

"My Lord Immortal King, I never expected you to have such a trick up your sleeve. I am not capable enough to have caused you any trouble, and I have kept so many things from you. Please do not blame me." Seeing that the situation was settled, Luo Bingxin quickly spoke up and admitted her mistake.

Luo Bingxin had kept the fact that the Four Corpse Kings were under her control a secret for quite some time. If she didn't admit it now, she would be courting death.

However, with the wisdom of the Celestial King, how could he not figure out what Luo Bingxin was up to?

Before Luo Bingxin could even finish speaking, the Immortal King blurted out his true intentions:

Luo Bingxin, you can forget about the Divine River Song equipment. No matter how you calculate it, it will never fall into your hands. Even if you have the Four Corpse Kings as your trump card, you cannot disobey my orders.

At this point, the Immortal King turned his head and gave Luo Bingxin a meaningful look.

"If you work for me with the Four Corpse Kings, I will grant you the right to use the Divine River Song to help you increase your strength. As for the Four Corpse Kings, I will grant you the right to kill at will, except for those in my Immortal King camp."

"You have a choice. Do you want to improve your strength, hold on to that last glimmer of hope and continue to survive, or do you oppose me and lose all hope? The choice is yours."

Upon hearing this, Luo Bingxin felt like her world had collapsed.

He thought he was an important member of the gods' camp, but he never expected that he was just a pawn that could be discarded at any time. In the eyes of the Celestial King, he was just a pawn that was used and perfectly manipulated.

Choice? Is there a choice?

It sounds nice to say, but in reality, Luo Bingxin had no choice at all.

All she could do was submit.

She had already missed her only chance to choose. She shouldn't have stood against the Dark Rising Organization, and she shouldn't have thought of opposing them. If she had been more polite and courteous, Lin Yi would never have hesitated to lend her the Divine River Song to improve his strength.

Regret is too late.

The excitement that had just been building instantly vanished.

"My Lord Immortal King, Bingxin will remain loyal to you for the rest of her life, without any disloyalty."

Within seconds of meeting, Lin Yi had already clearly felt the power of the Immortal King, and sensed his unquestionable methods and absolute authority.

Having resolved the matter concerning Luo Bingxin, the Celestial King's divine power avatar once again turned its attention to Lin Yi.

"Lin Yi, I admit you are a talented person with unlimited potential. Given enough time, you could even surpass my abilities, but unfortunately..."

"Unfortunately, things in this world are never as smooth as we imagine. I have the final say in the Three Realms and Six Paths. Since I know you will be a threat to me, I have no reason to give you the opportunity to grow stronger. So, whether you submit to me or die, the choice is yours."

Lin Yi wasn't stupid. Just as the Immortal King's divine power clone said, he couldn't allow someone who could threaten his rule to grow up. Even if he submitted to the Immortal King, when Lin Yi grew to a certain level and the Immortal King could no longer completely control him, the Immortal King would definitely destroy him.

Moreover, the Immortal King knew that two powerful martial souls that were highly likely to rebel against his rule were on Lin Yi's body. Although the cultivation of these two guys had indeed stagnated for a thousand years, they were still not to be underestimated.
