Chapter 1250 The World Boss is Starting to Use His Brain!
Sure enough, the Hou's extremely powerful attack landed smoothly on Lin Yi's head after shattering space.

Unfortunately, the moment the claws touched Lin Yi, Lin Yi's body began to become illusory. The huge claws passed right through Lin Yi's body without causing him any harm.

This would be disastrous for the planet.

The moment the giant claw of the Hou landed, several cracks quickly spread across the ground until the ground beneath Lin Yi's feet collapsed inch by inch, creating a bottomless pit.

How terrifying is that claw! This ancient ferocious beast is from a truly terrifying dimension.

Seeing his attack miss, Hou's mentality began to change.

Sensing that Lin Yi did not exhibit any power fluctuations, it finally understood that Lin Yi evaded its attacks not by his own skills, but by relying on the mythical equipment—the Void Observer Set.

Mythic equipment has a very high priority.

It's only slightly inferior to a divine artifact.

For Hou, whose artifacts focus solely on defense and who possess no skills or abilities, breaking through the ethereal effect of the Void Observer Set is simply impossible.

Hou knew his methods better than anyone else.

This feeling is like asking an elementary school student to do advanced mathematics; they simply can't grasp a single word and have absolutely no clue what to do.

The burning sensation in my mouth continued.

Hou could clearly feel that his tongue seemed to have been carbonized, and only by constantly offering his own divine power could he prevent his tongue from continuing to burn.

However, extinguishing the flames ignited by the power of destruction is not so simple.

The permanent burning effect is not something that can be easily removed.

The percentage-based health reduction effect, in particular, made Hou quite uneasy.

Hou can rely on its powerful regeneration speed to offset most of the burning effect, but if the burning effect cannot be removed after a long time, it will inevitably be defeated.

What to do! Taking advantage of Lin Yi's momentary lapse in attention, Hou launched dozens more attacks.

Without exception, Lin Yi completely dodged all these impacts using the ethereal effect triggered by the [Void Observer] set.

The continuous damage inflicted on the Hou kept Lin Yi in an untargetable state.

No matter how many times the Hou launched its attacks, it was unable to harm Lin Yi.

Thinking of this, Hou simply gave up the attack and obediently lay on the ground, gathering all his divine power into his wounds, trying to heal his injuries as quickly as possible and remove the permanent burning effect from his body.

Seeing that the Hou had given up its attack and was lying on the ground.

Lin Yi was somewhat surprised.

He didn't expect that Hou, who seemed simple-minded, could actually make relatively correct decisions.

"Now that's alright, that guy isn't moving anymore."

The Wuzhiqi within his body spoke to Lin Yi.

"Do you have any other effective methods, kid?"

There's no way to come up with so many solutions in such a short time.

The black mist attached to the Hou is an external artifact that can make it immune to all attacks. It's not something that Lin Yi can just deal with so easily. If it were that easy, Nuwa and Fuxi wouldn't have had to fight to the death and comprehend the core essence of their natal artifacts to defeat the Hou.

No, to be precise, Hou cannot be considered a failure.

It was indeed sealed away for over ten thousand years, but it was not truly defeated.

On the contrary, Nuwa and Fuxi suffered incurable injuries after that great battle and eventually perished.

Strictly speaking, the ultimate victor should be the Hou.

"It's no easy task for Lin Yi to come up with a second way to deal with Hou in such a short time," Lin Yi said helplessly, scratching his head.

"There's nothing we can do. This guy just lies there like a turtle. As long as he doesn't move, he won't make any mistakes."

The Hou, protected by the black mist, is indeed so.

As long as it doesn't act, it won't make a mistake. As long as it focuses on removing the permanent burning status caused by Lin Yi's mechanical forbidden spell, it can re-enter that invulnerable state.

At that time, Lin Yi was unable to trigger the ethereal state of the [Void Observer], and he would inevitably have a great deal of trouble dealing with his own attacks.

If you say that Hou has no brains, then it's not entirely true that it doesn't.

A pair of cunning and wicked eyes were fixed on Lin Yi, as if he were loudly proclaiming his victory to Lin Yi.

Lin Yin could clearly sense that Hou was gambling with him.

Having no skills available, it possesses the ultimate physical strength. In terms of pure hand-to-hand combat, even across the entire Three Realms and Six Paths, Hou would find it difficult to find an opponent who can match it.

It was confident that once Lin Yi ended his unselectable state, Lin Yi wouldn't last long in its hands.

At that time, Lin Yi, who would not be protected by the [Void Observer] set, would be defeated by him, and he would be able to take this opportunity to return to the Three Realms and Six Paths.

The Immortal King Realm, the Immortal King Palace.

In the misty environment, the two top-tier gods toasted each other and played chess.

Beside them, a pale blue observation crystal was playing footage of the battle.

Who else could be the subject of this observation but Lin Yi?

"Thousands of years have passed, yet your chess moves remain exactly the same as before. What's going on?" the Immortal King asked the Manifestation True Lord before him.

The unchanging moves in chess over thousands of years are really something wrong.

"Putting everything else aside, in just ten years, this young man Lin Yi has shown me countless surprises, but how should I put it, he has also given me a feeling of being out of control."

The hand holding the chess piece paused for a brief moment.

He could understand the Immortal King's words and knew that the person in power in front of him was targeting him.

In just ten years, Lin Yi, this junior, has accomplished what other high-ranking gods could not do even in their entire lives. Now, he is even challenging the legendary ancient god Hou with the Fuxi Talisman. His talent and strength are truly boundless.

As for the feeling of being unable to control that the Immortal King mentioned, it naturally stemmed from Lin Yi's actions of causing damage to Hou without relying on the Fuxi Talisman.

The Four Corpse Kings are alright.

Their invincible shield is indeed incredibly powerful, and it can also provide immunity to damage to a certain extent.

However, compared to the black mist of the Hou, the invincible shield is really not worth mentioning.

Not only can it not absorb physical damage, but if you have enough output, you can break through the Four Corpse King's invincibility shield by forcibly increasing your output or by using a strategy of attrition warfare.

The shield of the Hou is different; this guy is designed for absolute defense.

It's incredible that Lin Yi could use his intelligence to seize fleeting opportunities on the battlefield and use the simplest attack methods to reduce the Hou's health, without relying on the special effects of the Fuxi Talisman to damage the Hou.

If no one had witnessed this scene firsthand through the monitoring crystal, no one would have believed that Lin Yi could have accomplished all of this. Even the Immortal King himself wouldn't dare say that he could have done this without the help of the Fuxi Talisman.

Why does it feel somewhat out of control?

That's when the Celestial King began to realize that Lin Yi possessed limitless potential.

Perhaps he can overcome himself.
