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

Chapter 1262 The First Signs of Madness
Without a doubt, Fuxi Fu was shocked by Lin Yi's forceful methods.

Such exaggerated skill effects would leave anyone who encounters them in a bad way.

Since following Lin Yi, Fuxi Fu has witnessed too many miracles in Lin Yi's life. The surprises hidden in this kid seem to be endless.

Whenever this kid encounters difficulties, he always unleashes unimaginable fighting power, and he always comes up with unbelievable methods.

Reaching the highest level of divine power doesn't necessarily mean anything.

The fact that it can fight against ancient gods and not be at a disadvantage is truly terrifying.

Fuxi Fu knew very well that the young man he was currently serving already possessed the power to contend with the Immortal King who ruled over the Three Realms and Six Paths.

While he may not be able to defeat the Celestial King one hundred percent, he is at least capable of parrying him for now.

This astonishing method not only trapped the ancient god Hou, who possessed invincible defensive capabilities, within the planet, but also crushed all the monitoring spirit crystals watching the battle into dust.

Even now, all the gods watching this battle are still incredibly shocked.

In the last second before the broadcast disappeared, they clearly saw the entire planet come to life, becoming Lin Yi's partner and helping him fight against the ancient god.

Unfortunately, the image disappeared too quickly, so they didn't have time to fully analyze what had happened before their connection with the scene was completely severed.

"I asked you how much more time it would take to completely dissect the black mist on that guy's body. I need your answer to formulate a battle strategy."

At this moment, Fuxi Fu came to his senses and hurriedly answered Lin Yi's question.

"Lord Lin Yi, I'll need about an hour more. After that, you can go all out and fight that guy."

Lin Yi was very satisfied with Fuxi Fu's answer.

An hour? That doesn't seem like a very long time.

It will take a long time for that ancient god to break free from the shackles of his ancient gravity-based forbidden spell, which is more than enough time for Lin Yi to chant the next ancient forbidden spell.

"An hour isn't particularly long."

The Immortal King was somewhat surprised that the monitoring crystals he had set up had simply disappeared.

Could it be that the kid could find and destroy the surveillance equipment he left behind while fighting the ancient god Hou? That seems a bit too difficult.

The monitoring spirit crystal only emits extremely weak source energy fluctuations, and among the three types of power, source energy fluctuations are the most inconspicuous. In addition, its fluctuations are very small, so even Lin Yi has a hard time detecting its existence.

To be able to concentrate on sensing and monitoring the presence of spirit crystals during such an intense battle requires a high level of skill and dexterity.

It's obvious that the battle with the Hou will not be like that.

The speed of the Hou was terrifying even to the Celestial King.

"That kid has some tricks up his sleeve. Judging from the information transmitted before the monitoring crystal completely disappeared, Lin Yi must have used some special skill to destroy the entire planet. I must say, that kid was quite ruthless. He destroyed the entire planet in order to buy as much time as possible."

"I just don't know how much longer this tactic can buy him time. I'm quite curious about the upcoming battle. Should we go and take a look ourselves?"

What the Manifestation Saint True Lord said was also what the Immortal King thought.

However, the Celestial King wouldn't do something so petty.

He sent his subordinates to do the work while he watched the show, and the task they were tasked with was something almost impossible—destroying an ancient god. If word got out, where would the Immortal King's reputation be?

Therefore, the Celestial King rejected the proposal.

It wasn't about saving face; rather, after the battle, regardless of victory or defeat, the Fuxi Talisman would provide detailed information about the entire fight.

"There's no need for that. I think that kid will definitely survive."

The Immortal King's words did not elicit much comment from the Manifestation Saint True Lord.

However, he asked a very practical question. "Is it really going to be like this? After the battle, that Hou guy will definitely produce his own natal artifact, that black mist that ignores all attack methods. If such an artifact falls into Lin Yi's hands, won't it threaten our future status? I don't care, after all, I'm just serving others, so I won't mind too much. But what about you, Immortal King?"

The words of the Manifested Sage True Lord were loaded with hidden meaning.

As for the hidden meaning in those words, the Celestial King was quite clear about it:

The implication was clear: after obtaining the black mist, Lin Yi would gain the power to contend with the Immortal King.

This is not alarmist.

Some people say that once the black mist has been analyzed by the Fuxi Talisman, it will be much easier to analyze it the next time. But how could it be that simple?

Even if the Celestial King were to do it himself, it would still take him quite a while to decipher the Fuxi Talisman.

During this time, Lin Yi could unleash his full power against the Immortal King. Putting aside everything else, with Lin Yi's terrifying offensive capabilities, could the Immortal King really withstand it?

The answer is yes, it can withstand it, but the cost will inevitably be significant.

The Manifestation Saint True Lord said that he was someone who served others. This may sound harsh, but it was the truth.

He, the Manifestation Saint True Lord, believed that his strength was limited and insufficient to fight against Lin Yi. He had no complaints about his status as the second-in-command for ten thousand years. To him, the change of power in the Three Realms and Six Paths was just a change of service recipient.

Such words were somewhat disrespectful, but the Celestial King was neither angry nor bothered by them.

How could the Immortal King not know the principle that good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease, and honest advice is unpleasant to the ear but beneficial to conduct?

He has his own plans.

Originally, he was quite confident in Lin Yi, believing that the kid was under his control and would be his most capable assistant.

But this battle rekindled the Immortal King's resolve to eliminate Lin Yi after he had finished using him.

For the Immortal King, Lin Yi obtaining the Black Mist was not a threat.

After all, the current Celestial King possesses two ancient divine artifacts: the Fuxi Talisman and the Nuwa Spirit.

Even though Lin Yi now has the right to use the Fuxi Talisman, he is not worried at all that the Fuxi Talisman might have any ulterior motives.

Lin Yi, shrouded only in black mist, could never be his match.

Allowing Lin Yi to hold onto the Black Mist artifact with peace of mind would be beneficial to him, the Immortal King.

Just how powerful is an external artifact like the Black Mist? It won't be long before the news spreads throughout the Three Realms and Six Paths.

Lin Yi, as a subordinate, obtained such an external artifact through his own abilities, and the Immortal King generously allowed him to keep it. This fully demonstrates the Immortal King's magnanimity.

It might even make those factions of the gods who were originally disloyal completely obedient.

Secondly, it could make Lin Yi lower his guard.

With an external artifact like the Black Mist in hand, Lin Yi's sense of security will definitely be greatly enhanced, and it may even numb his perception of danger.

The last point is very important: if we take action against Lin Yi before he makes any major mistakes, it will surely chill the hearts of the entire Three Realms and Six Paths. Taking the black mist from him will also make the gods of the heavens look down on the Immortal King.

Instead of dwelling on this trivial matter, it's better to make a proper plan for what's to come.

There were four ancient gods.

The natal artifacts of the four ancient gods each contain the power of one of them.

What terrifying power would one gain if they simultaneously obtained the power of these four ancient gods?

Even the Celestial King would feel excited just thinking about it.
