I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi took out a jade box, which contained a Soul-Nourishing Jade, just enough to house Zero One.

Lingyi jumped in, and Lin Yi said, "No matter what happens later, don't act impulsively. I have my own way of dealing with it."

"Hmph, I won't act impulsively. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Lingyi's answer was quite blunt, but Lin Yi was relieved.

After several simulations, Lin Yi felt more confident and proceeded with everything according to plan!

However, as he touched the small arrow in his pocket, a bold idea still lingered in his mind.

This arrow means certain death upon contact with blood.

The Demon-Slaying Sword can at least absorb some energy for a while, but the damage caused by the arrow will cause life force to drain away continuously until death.

Without special means, he could probably take one more person away outside of the plan.

If the Eastern Ghost Emperor is injured, then naturally we can take him away.

But considering how much health the Eastern Ghost Emperor had, Lin Yi gave up.

If Venerable Miaofa could survive for so long, then a Ghost Emperor certainly wouldn't die so easily.

In this way, Lin Yi's hidden trump card becomes largely meaningless.

The best course of action is to target Yama, the King of Hell.

Their strength is slightly weaker, making it easier for Lin Yi to take action.

Among the three Yama Kings guarding the Gates of Hell, Lin Yi felt that King Yama was the most suitable.

The abilities of misfortune and death are indeed powerful, but the power of reincarnation is not weak either. This lineage is just not good at fighting, but its auxiliary methods are very powerful.

Most importantly, Lin Yi has already collected the authority of Yama, and if he collects the authority of the Wheel King, he can merge the two authority and possess authority equal to that of the Central Ghost Emperor.

In this way, his rank would be equivalent to that of the Ghost Emperor, which is the same as that of the Martial God.

To kill the other two Yama Kings, Lin Yi had to kill them as well.

The risk was too great. Lin Yi estimated that he only had one chance to make a move, and killing two birds with one stone was unlikely.

This arrow only has an arrowhead; it can't be shot out. It can only be held in the hand as a concealed weapon.

All things considered, killing King Yama is still the safest option.

King of Wheels, in danger!

But at this time, King Yama was unaware that he had been targeted; he was still glad that he had boarded the ship of the Eastern Ghost Emperor.

Of course, he did not openly pledge allegiance to the Eastern Ghost Emperor. The duties of the various Yama Kings and Ghost Emperors were very clear, and no one was allowed to cross the line and pledge allegiance.

But while this is the official stance, there is still considerable room for maneuver behind the scenes.

Since the Central Ghost Emperor will neither protect him nor give him any orders, there's nothing wrong with him attaching himself to the Eastern Ghost Emperor and following his arrangements.

He is only nominally still a member of the Central Ghost Emperor.

The Eastern Ghost Emperor is second only to the Central Ghost Emperor in strength and status among the Five Ghost Emperors. Outside of the Central Ghost Emperor, the East reigns supreme.

Whether in the human world, the underworld, or the celestial realm, the same rule applies.

It wouldn't be a waste of his talent to submit to the Eastern Ghost Emperor.

However, things have been a bit strange lately, and he didn't know how to tell the Eastern Ghost Emperor, so he had no choice but to put these matters aside for the time being.

Anyway, with the Eastern Ghost Emperor suppressing things here, no matter how arrogant that villain Lin Yi is, he wouldn't dare to try to break through the Gates of Hell, right?

It should be noted that the power of the three Yama Kings has now been gathered here. If it weren't for the fact that each of them has their own places to suppress, they could easily dispatch a million Yin soldiers here right now.

Even without the Yin soldiers, the three Yama Kings alone are powerful enough, not to mention the Ghost Emperor personally overseeing things.

The Gates of Hell must be the safest place now...

"boom!"

The Wheel King was still pondering when he was proven wrong in the next second.

A small fireball flew over and struck the Ghost Emperor's banner squarely.

It doesn't cause much harm, but it's extremely insulting.

In an instant, even the spirits of the underworld at the gates of hell were enraged.

The Eastern Ghost Emperor immediately drew his bow and arrow, ready to shoot the little thief to death.

But Lin Yi simply unleashed a barrage of judgment buffs on the people above him, then turned and ran.

Just like in the simulated battlefield, the Eastern Ghost Emperor did not immediately call for support. Instead, he ordered his capable subordinates to attack while he secretly fired arrows.

As the Ghost Emperor, he naturally couldn't directly charge into battle, but he was actually very warlike, which is why he took up the bow and arrow.

Over time, he also grew to love the thrill of remotely ambushing people.

One thing surprised him, however, was that Lin Yi was able to use the power of the King of Hell on him.

Yama is a king, and he is an emperor; this is a classic case of the inferior overthrowing the superior.

But what's outrageous is that those trials actually went through.

The Eastern Ghost Emperor was secretly alarmed.

This person has a big secret!

It's not surprising that he could kill Yama, but there must be a reason why he could use Yama's power after killing him.

If power could be seized through bloodshed, the world would have descended into chaos long ago, with gods fighting each other to the death for more power.

Heaven naturally does not want to see such a scene, so the gods who have gained power often do so through two methods.

One type is bestowed by a superior through investiture.

This kind of authority is often related to the clergy. Those in positions of authority can delegate authority at any time and also reclaim it. This is what is meant by authority.

The second way is to comprehend the Dao on your own, to gradually understand a certain Great Dao, and finally reach the end of the Great Dao and master it.

Neither of these methods can be obtained through killing.

In the first scenario, if a deity with authority is killed, the authority will automatically return to the person in power, not to the person who killed him.

The second scenario is that the one who controls the Great Dao dies, and this Great Dao will return to the world, waiting for a destined person to comprehend it.

The idea that someone like Lin Yi could kill Yama and then use Yama's authority is absurd and contrary to the laws of nature.

The situation is complex, but the Eastern Ghost Emperor sees an opportunity within it. If he can uncover the secrets, perhaps he too will have a chance to advance further.

The Eastern Ghost Emperor has always been the most ambitious.

So, at that moment, instead of seeking help, he sealed off the scene.

He knew, of course, that he couldn't keep the person the Goddess of Mount Tai wanted all to himself, but before handing her over, he could make appropriate contact with her.

Opportunities are something you have to strive for yourself.

The logic is indeed correct, but the Eastern Ghost Emperor forgot one thing.

The sorrow and the blessing of the blessings, the blessings of the blessings.

Opportunities are often accompanied by dangers; the greater the opportunity, the greater the potential for harm.

Unfortunately, he was blinded by this incredible opportunity...

He shook the battle flags, changing the army's position from a defensive formation to a blockade formation.

He wanted to ensure that not a single piece of information here would leak out, but little did he know that if he lost the chance to call for help, in Lin Yi's eyes, he would just be a training ground to be slaughtered...

Chapter 557 Escape from Death

Lin Yi never expected that the Eastern Ghost Emperor would activate the Yin Soldier Formation to seal off all directions.

Could this person also be an ally?

But seeing his condition from the Demon-Slaying Manual, Lin Yi was also amused.

Is there such a good thing?

Trying to uncover my secrets will come at a price.

Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined; today is indeed both an opportunity and a calamity for the Eastern Ghost Emperor.

Lin Yi knew very well that since the other party had already suspected the secret he possessed, once the Eastern Ghost Emperor realized that he could not obtain the secret from him, he would definitely tell others in exchange for benefits.

Therefore, he also had to take the risk and kill this Eastern Ghost Emperor!

The secret will be discovered sooner or later, but delaying it by one day is better than delaying it by one day.

He possesses the Demon-Slaying Manual; given time to develop, no one knows what kind of monster will eventually be nurtured.

Knowing the Eastern Ghost Emperor's plans, Lin Yi's fighting style remained the same as before, but he concealed some of his strength.

He transformed into a giant hundreds of feet tall, his body disappearing into the dark clouds, his entire body engulfed in terrifying flames, so that even ghosts and gods dared not approach.

This powerful supernatural ability, however, is clearly a method of burning one's life essence.

The Eastern Ghost Emperor sneered. Although Lin Yi was somewhat mysterious, he hadn't fully matured yet, and that was all he had to offer.

He wasn't in a hurry to make a move. He first organized his subordinates to surround and attack, while he hid in the rear, secretly launching sneak attacks.

Since Lin Yi has been forced to use this trump card that burns his life essence, he is clearly fighting a desperate battle.

Why should he be in such a hurry?

This blood-burning technique is so powerful, I doubt he can last long. You must know that the bigger the fire, the more firewood will be consumed.

The more fiercely a fire fueled by blood burns, the faster it dies.

All he needs to do is guard the gates of hell.

So, while launching sneak attacks, the Eastern Ghost Emperor also focused his attention on defending the Gate of Hell.

As Lin Yi had predicted, he kept trying to break through the defenses and get closer to the gates of hell.

"Hmph, the wisdom of mortals!"

Since he's here, there's absolutely no way he'll give Lin Yi a chance to get close to death.

No matter how much Ren Linyi charged forward, he couldn't possibly get past his defenses.
