Chapter 1251 The Focus of Attention

Such far-fetched concerns are not unfounded.

The Immortal King is a very cautious person. He can control the Three Realms and Six Paths in his own hands by simply using his methods without revealing his strength, which shows how powerful the Immortal King's methods are.

Lin Yi's talent and strength, as well as his ability to accomplish the almost impossible, made the Immortal King more wary of him.

In particular, he accomplished something that even the Celestial King could not do, which made the Celestial King especially uneasy.

"Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. Lin Yi is a young genius with limitless potential. He did indeed do something we dared not even imagine today, but it was all just a coincidence."

The Manifestation Saint True Lord held up the chess piece in his hand and analyzed it seriously.

The Three Realms and Six Paths are merely an magnified projection of the natural world; the principle of the strong preying on the weak applies everywhere.

Strong is strong, weak is weak.

The Celestial King is the most powerful being in nature, absolutely powerful, and has absolute authority in nature, able to decide the life and death of all other creatures.

Yes, there are indeed other powerful creatures in nature, but they are not the strongest.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, no matter what, the other creatures will be unable to defeat the strongest one.

“My Lord Immortal King, the Hou may have been momentarily careless, giving Lin Yi an opportunity. But once it recovers, Lin Yi will be helpless.”

As he said this, Hou's gaze was fixed on the monitoring crystal.

The analysis focuses on the battle between Lin Yi and Hou, but isn't the Hou being analyzed a reference to the Celestial King? The Fuxi Talisman is a top-tier artifact that dominates reality. Although it cannot directly break through Hou's black mist defense, nor can it provide absolute defense like the black mist, it can remove the black mist directly from Hou's body after analysis.

Just like removing the invincible shield from the Four Corpse Kings, it deprived Hou of its greatest support.

According to the Fuxi Talisman, the Hou cannot be killed. After its protective shield was removed, it automatically disintegrated when its health was depleted, transforming into the Four Corpse Kings.

Based on this, killing the Hou might fall into a closed loop:
When the Hou's health is low, it will disintegrate into the Four Corpse Kings. When the Four Corpse Kings' health is low, they will merge back into the Hou and recover their health.

This leads to a vicious cycle where sealing is the only option.

However, Lin Yi was not worried about this situation happening at all.

Before the war began, Hou had told Lin Yi something.

Lin Yi is Hou's benefactor. If it weren't for Lin Yi, Hou would not have been able to escape from the seal.

Logically, Hou should be thanking Lin Yi properly.

In order to gain complete control over this body and completely dissipate the consciousness of the Four Corpse Kings, Hou agreed to kill Lin Yi in exchange.

While it may seem that the ancient god Hou has achieved its wish and gained absolute control over its own body, it has actually lost the chance to be resurrected.

It can only be said that Hou was too confident, thinking that there was no one in the Three Realms and Six Paths of this era who could rival him, no, it should be said that there was no one who could threaten him.

"What you said makes some sense, but you don't seem to have answered my question. So many years have passed, and your chess style hasn't changed at all. Are you just willing to work for me? Don't you have any ambition at all?"

Hearing the Immortal King emphasize this issue again, the True Lord Manifestation felt somewhat numb.

The Celestial King's suspicion is truly extraordinary.

The Manifestation Saint True Lord has been working diligently under him for so many years without any mistakes or overstepping his bounds. How could the Immortal King ask such a question?

After adjusting his mood slightly, the Manifestation Saint True Lord let out a sigh of relief.

"My Lord Immortal King, as I said before, the Three Realms and Six Paths are a world of survival of the fittest, and the gods are no exception. If I could truly shake your position, you wouldn't have let me live to this day, would you? Improving one's abilities is certainly important, but I also know that having limited abilities is not necessarily a bad thing."

The Manifestation Saint True Lord smiled and continued.

"Among the Three Realms and Six Paths, the gods hold the highest position, and my position is one of the top among them. I don't have much to do on a daily basis, so I can do whatever I want to pass the time. There's nothing wrong with this kind of life." Even the Celestial King was somewhat shocked by these words.

He truly hadn't expected that the Manifestation Saint True Lord could summarize all of this so well. From this, it's not hard to see that this guy is able to live a life of clarity.

"Do you think that kid has a chance to defeat that ancient god?"

The Immortal King changed the subject, refocusing his attention on the battle between Lin Yi and the Hou.

Who will emerge victorious?
It's hard to say. Based on the current intelligence, the one who will ultimately win is undoubtedly the Hou.

As an ancient deity, and one that specializes in physical strength, Hou's combat power is beyond doubt. Its physical strength and regenerative abilities are also unparalleled.

Lin Yi detonated a forbidden mechanical spell and injected the power of the law of destruction and the power of the Primordial God into Hou's body.

But for the Hou, this wasn't a very serious injury.

It won't be long before Hou can use its divine power to remove all the abnormal conditions from its body.

At that time, Lin Yi will have difficulty inflicting effective damage on Hou. As a result, the effect of the [Void Observer] set will not be able to be triggered, and Lin Yi will have difficulty dodging Hou's attacks.

The Fuxi Talisman in your hand is the key to victory.

However, for the Fuxi Talisman to take effect, it is clearly not something that can be done in just a few minutes.

The Manifestation Saint True Lord knew very well that the time it would take for the Hou to heal itself was much shorter than the time it would take for the Fuxi Talisman to decipher the black mist, so the outcome was obvious.

Lin Yi will fall into a passive position even faster than Hou.

This can be seen from the fact that the Hou is doing nothing but waiting in place.

In conclusion, Lin Yi's chances of winning are very low, but the Manifestation Saint True Lord believes that Lin Yi can create a miracle.

"I can't see how Lin Yi can win, but I just feel that that kid can definitely create a miracle."

The Immortal King smiled and affirmed the truthfulness of the Manifested Sage's assessment.

"I also think this kid has potential. Let's wait and see how he wins this battle."

The Formless Realm, the Realm of Devas.

On Olympus, the twelve Olympian gods gathered in the temple, watching the battle between Lin Yi and the ancient god Hou through the monitoring crystal.

Before the battle began, many of the twelve main gods felt that Lin Yi was too arrogant and that challenging the four Corpse Kings was courting death.

The gods knew that the Four Corpse Kings were not so easy to deal with.

They had been watching from the moment Lin Yi engaged in battle with the Four Corpse Kings.

When dealing with the Four Corpse Kings, Lin Yi used many of his skills, especially the ice-type forbidden spell, Ice Overlord, which allowed him to easily subdue the Four Corpse Kings, truly surprising the Olympian gods.

At first, they only thought that Lin Yi had good talent and the boy's cultivation speed was fast.

As for how strong they are, I really don't have a good idea.

They believed that Lin Yi's ability to carry out missions so smoothly was entirely due to the powerful combat strength brought by the Fuxi Talisman.

It wasn't until they witnessed this battle that they truly understood Lin Yi's power.

The current Sea God, in particular, found it unbelievable.
