One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 1246 Helpless, Absolutely Invincible in the Setting

For the reasons mentioned above, Lin Yi lowered his guard and approached Hou.

"However, I like to do things that are difficult. I heard that killing you will bring a very generous reward. For that reward, I have to give it a try."

"You are hailed as a world boss by the will of the Three Realms and Six Paths. I'd like to see just how generous the rewards are."

Look at the difference, are all young people these days so arrogant?

Hou couldn't help but mutter to himself.

If someone can be hailed by the Three Realms and Six Paths, then their existence must be terrifying.

Why would you risk everything for a so-called generous but opaque reward?

With Lin Yi's talent, it won't be long before he fully matures and his future strength will be comparable to that of an ancient god.

Is it too hasty to risk everything for such a small reward, to turn against oneself and become one's own enemy?

"Kid, you'd better think this through. Once I sense your killing intent towards me, I won't hold back in my attacks."

"There's no need to risk your life for rewards that have little to do with you. Otherwise, even if you beat me, you'll most likely not live to enjoy those so-called rewards. The owner of the Fuxi Talisman probably saw the light of day again by chance."

The [Ice Overlord] state has not ended yet.

Taking this opportunity, Lin Yi can test the strength of his skills again.

"I'll fight this monster first. If I'm not mistaken, you'll need to build up your strength for quite some time before you can use any methods to deal with it."

After learning about the methods used by Fuxi Talisman to deal with the Four Corpse Kings, Lin Yi roughly guessed how Fuxi and Nuwa had defeated Hou in the first place.

"Yes, that's right, you're absolutely right. I personally experienced the Hou's strength back then. To break through its defenses, no one in the entire Three Realms and Six Paths except me could do it."

"The key to winning that battle was me. If you want to say that Nuwa Spirit also played a big role, that's true. But if I hadn't removed the black mist from Hou's body, if I hadn't fulfilled that prerequisite, how could Nuwa Spirit have disintegrated it?"

The Fuxi Talisman didn't say much.

But Lin Yi could tell.

The separation and sealing of the Hou was a method devised by Nuwa.

Indeed, without the Fuxi Talisman to transfer the black mist, Nuwa Ling could not have done this.

"Didn't that guy say that the Four Corpse Kings gave up the opportunity to exist in the Three Realms and Six Paths? This means that from now on, you can only rely on your powerful output to wear down the Hou's health. It can't differentiate into the Four Corpse Kings. It seems to have completely taken control of its body, but in reality, it has also created an opportunity for you to kill it."

Lin Yi could naturally understand what Fuxi Talisman meant.

Lin Yi also had great confidence in his output.

With so many skills unleashed, even the Hou wouldn't be able to withstand it.

And when the time is right, Lin Yi will use his [Infinite Sphere] to maximize his damage output.

"Alright, then I'll play along with this guy. Ice skills have no cooldown, so I want to see if I can pose a threat to it in this Ice Dominator state."

Lin Yi's mind stirred.

All the surrounding ice elements began to move under his control.

Wherever the eye can see and wherever the heart desires, lies the place where eternal ice gathers.

The Hou is enormous; just by looking at the thickness of its limbs, one can imagine the immense power it contains.

The power it can unleash must be quite terrifying.

"Kid, judging from your completed elemental transformation, you must be ready for battle. In that case, I'm going to make my move. Don't disappoint me."

As expected, Hou greeted Lin Yi before making his move.

Seal it!

Upon hearing the call to battle, Lin Yi dared not slacken in the slightest. He immediately chanted in his mind and used Eternal Ice, which was more than three times the size of the Hou, to freeze it.

The ice elements permeating the world, upon hearing Lin Yi's call, immediately sprang into action, rapidly converging towards the location of the Hou. The Eternal Ice had arrived, but unfortunately, it seemed unable to subdue the Hou.

The eerie black mist is an absolute defense.

The chilling aura of the Eternal Ice was successfully blocked when it approached the black mist, and could not adhere to it at all.

The feeling was magical; to be precise, the Eternal Ice seemed unable to target a target shrouded in black mist.

Why isn't he moving? Hou was somewhat puzzled. What was Lin Yi doing? Why wasn't he moving?

I had already kindly given them a heads-up beforehand.

Okay, since you're not planning to move, then I'll move.

Since Eternal Ice cannot target it, use an ice-type skill to cast it instantly.

The sixth-tier ice-type skill, [Piercing Cold], is instant-cast.

No chanting required, no cooling-off period.

Lin Yi unleashed a hundred attacks in one breath.

With Lin Yi's current attributes, his mana is sufficient to support him in accomplishing this.

Casting hundreds of sixth-tier ice skills instantly is already quite an exaggerated feat for an ordinary person.

When it came to Lin Yi, this action became astonishing.

Each of these instantaneous sixth-tier ice-type skills, [Bone-Piercing Cold], can trigger Lin Yi's divine skill—[Primordial Chaos].

With a multiplier ranging from several thousand to ten thousand, and triggered randomly, the number of sixth-tier ice-type skills released by Lin Yi this time reached an astonishing hundreds of thousands.

A shower of icy spikes locked onto the Hou's location and then fell at incredible speed.

The Hou has seen torrential rain.

But he had never seen hundreds of thousands of sharp little icebergs falling towards him like Zhou Yu.

The scene before my eyes was extremely shocking.

The sight of hundreds of thousands of small mountains radiating icy blue light all pointing towards his forehead deeply shocked this ancient god who had been sealed away for ten thousand years.

It never imagined that today's young people would become so powerful.

The younger generation is truly formidable!

It is magnificent, and the cumulative damage it can output and the control time it provides stack up to a terrifying level.

What troubled Lin Yi was that the effect was not obvious at all.

In fact, his skills were completely ineffective.

The countless [Bone-Piercing Chill] skills, upon contact with the black mist surrounding the Hou, did not transform into extremely cold blades to pierce the Hou's body as described in the skill description, nor did they freeze the Hou after piercing its body.

Those icy spikes, each the size of a small mountain, turned to dust the moment they touched the black mist. They couldn't even inflict any damage, let alone provide any subsequent control.

The Hou blinked its big eyes, watching the skills aimed at it.

In this situation, most people would feel uneasy.

But this guy, relying on the power of his natal artifact, treated those hundreds of thousands of sixth-tier ice skills that were being unleashed simultaneously as fireworks.

It was at this moment that Lin Yi understood why so many people were wary of the Hou in that wild and ancient era.

This guy's setup is truly invincible. "So, Lord Lin Yi, are you at a loss for how to deal with this guy?"

Lin Yi considered using his light and shadow interlacing skill to mark the Hou's true form, and then pulling it out of the black mist.

Unfortunately, even the All-Seeing Eye and the Fiery Eyes couldn't see through the black mist. How could a low-level spatial skill possibly mark the Hou shrouded in the black mist?
