Chapter 1198 The Secret of Lingdu Mountain
Broken weapons, broken armor, and all sorts of fragments were scattered all over the ground.

It truly lives up to the saying: "A fancy exterior hides a rotten interior."

Just as Lin Yi was sighing, an attack that struck straight at his soul shot out towards his head.

Lin Yi, who possesses the power of the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls, is exceptionally sensitive to attacks originating from or targeting the soul. He can detect an attack the instant it appears and pinpoint the attacker's location.

hum~
Lin Yi calmly raised his right hand and elegantly used two fingers to catch the attack that came from behind.

how come!
The face of the soul that had been saved from disaster was filled with disbelief.

The attack that was just launched was an attack initiated by Du Zai using the power of his own soul essence. How could an ordinary person possibly withstand it with their physical body?

Moreover, Lin Yi used two fingers, which completely overturned Duzai's understanding.

You should know that even the Manifestation Saint True Monarch dares not underestimate the soul power of the one who crosses the calamity. This guy who came is clearly a new face whose strength is not particularly strong. How dare he do this?

Undeterred by fate, Du Zai once again gathered the essence of his soul to forge a bow and an arrow, which he then fired at Lin Yi.

The result was so hard to accept.

Lin Yi calmly turned around and immediately locked onto the Soul of Calamity Crossing, which was hiding in the darkness by using its semi-transparent body.

Those eyes didn't flash with any light, yet they were incredibly piercing to Du Zai.

"Using your soul power to attack me is probably the worst decision you've ever made in your life."

This time, Lin Yi didn't even bother to lift a finger.

He simply concentrated his divine power on his forehead, forming a simple protective shield, and then made no further moves.

Possessing the divine power of the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls, he truly didn't take the attack seriously. He could even use a little divine power to filter the enemy's attack and transform it into his own power.

The solidified arrow of soul streaked across the sky, forming a graceful arc, before finally landing on Lin Yi's forehead.

"Boy, how dare you be so arrogant? In my entire life, I, Duzai, have never been looked down upon like this. You are the first person in the Three Realms and Six Paths to dare to underestimate me like this!"

Seeing his soul arrow strike Lin Yi squarely in the forehead, the confident Du Zai began to declare his victory.

Unfortunately, before he could even begin to utter his inflammatory remarks, he clearly felt that the attack he had just launched had completely lost contact with him.

"The essence of the soul cannot be repaired. Are you sure you still want to continue fighting me?"

This time, the disaster relief efforts were much calmer.

He's already died once, so dying again isn't so scary.

He just didn't want those who had wronged him to get away with it, and he didn't want to just disappear from this world with this secret.

Even if the person who comes to hear his secret is the Celestial King's most loyal subordinate, who will keep the secret for the Celestial King forever.

Since his attacks were useless and only consumed his soul power, there was no need to struggle anymore.

"Who are you? I've never seen you before. When did you join the Immortal King's faction? Which faction were you from before?"

Du Zai was a deity belonging to the Lingdu Mountain sect, but that did not prevent him from being a subordinate of the Immortal King.

It should be noted that before this, the Lingdu Mountain faction had the best relationship with the Immortal King faction. They knew exactly who the members of the two factions were and their strengths.

"You must have heard of me, Lin Yi. You guys probably really wanted to kill me before."

Lin Yi?
Indeed, at that time, his name was quite popular in the divine realm. No one expected that an ordinary mortal from a lower plane could cause such a commotion in the Three Realms and Six Paths. If it weren't for the Dark Rising Organization jumping out as a troublemaker, the gods would have already captured Lin Yi.

However, Lin Yi's eventual joining the Immortal King's camp was somewhat unexpected for Du Zai.

The fact that Lin Yi's divine power level could grow to Grade B in such a short time was even more unbelievable to Du Zai.

Only ten years had passed since he was restricted in his movements and confined to his quarters by the Celestial King.

Ten years is but a blink of an eye for a deity like Duzai, who has lived for tens of thousands of years.

Who would have thought that someone could grow to this extent in such a short period of time?

Lin Yi's genius level even surpasses that of a Celestial King!
After some thought, Du Zai felt that something was not right.

Given the Celestial King's personality, how could he allow someone with such extraordinary talent to live?

It should be noted that even the most powerful of the supreme gods have a limited lifespan.

The Immortal King has lived in this world for tens of thousands of years. No matter how you compare, his lifespan is no match for Lin Yi's.

Once he gets old and Lin Yi rises to power, the situation will become uncontrollable.

At that time, Lin Yi will be in charge of the entire Three Realms and Six Paths.

However, just a few seconds later, Duzai figured it out.

Whether it's Lin Yi or Lingming Ancient Buddha, all the elites of Lingdu Mountain are merely pawns of the Immortal King.

How could the Celestial King allow them to take his place?

Lin Yi seems to be doing quite well now, but one thing is certain.

Before he completely loses control, the Celestial King will extract as much value from him as possible and then take action to eliminate him.

"Lin Yi, I never expected you to be such a once-in-a-millennium genius. To have fought you is enough for me to die a worthy death. My fate is already sealed, but your fate can still be changed. So, are you going to listen to what I have to say?"

Du Zai completely withdrew his soul essence, and Lin Yi could no longer sense any fighting spirit from him.

"Go ahead and tell me, I came here because I have something to ask you anyway."

Upon hearing this, Du Zai was taken aback.

Wasn't this guy here to help the Immortal King solve his troubles? Yet, he still told Lin Yi everything he knew.

"Young man, you are quite good, but you should know that with your current strength, you are not able to control your own destiny. Just like the experts of our Lingdu Mountain sect, even though they have reached the top of the Three Realms and Six Paths, they still cannot control their own lives."

Du Zai made no attempt to conceal anything and directly recounted the ordeal of the Lingdu Mountain sect to Lin Yi.

To Du Zai's surprise, Lin Yi didn't stop him from continuing. Most surprisingly, after hearing about the Immortal King's actions, Lin Yi showed no shock whatsoever.

Even after Du Zai finished recounting his experience, Lin Yi maintained his calm expression.

"What, Lin Yi? Did you know all along? Back then, you hadn't even joined the Immortal King's camp yet."

Lin Yi shook his head and said slowly.

"It's not difficult to deduce this information. The Immortal King has far too many people at his disposal. There's absolutely no need to use your most loyal Lingdu Mountain faction. The reason I let you take Nuwa's Spirit is obvious: to completely eliminate you. It's just that I still haven't figured out what you did wrong."
