Chapter 1347 1313: Elder with White Eyebrows

"Tongyou Divine Hall!"

A desolate place where numerous Saints (Divine Level) of the Hundred Races are buried;

A mysterious temple that seals the true entrance to the Abyss Demon Race;

The mysterious temple, rumored to have been pushed into the chaotic spatial flow by the Hundred Races' powerhouses, suddenly appeared before Lin Yi without any warning.

"It really is Tongyou Divine Hall!"

Lin Yi stood at the edge of the platform, and as the view zoomed out, a majestic and vast group of temples immediately appeared before him.

And the temple that Lin Yi and Satan J had previously visited still stood among them.

Memories flooded Lin Yi's mind like flowing water as everything unfolded before him.

Lin Yi still clearly remembers when he first came here, having been invited by Satan J.

It was here that Lin Yi learned how much the Hundred Races had sacrificed to seal the Abyss entrance.

After leaving the Tongyou Divine Hall that time, Lin Yi thought he might never come back here in his lifetime.

But who would have thought!

"The entrance sealed beneath the Demon Suppression Stele is actually to the Tongyou Divine Hall?" Lin Yi exclaimed, still somewhat incredulous:

"Suppression of demons!"

Lin Yi gazed into the depths of the temple:

"Is it suppressing the Demon Race?"

But soon, Lin Yi thought of another question:

"If this is the true entrance to the Abyss, then what is the Great Rift Valley?"

Where did the demons in the Great Rift Valley come from?

Not just the demons of the Great Rift Valley, Lin Yi also thought about the message of tens of millions of Sea Race in Galia City—where had they gone?

At this moment, a recent recollection of Gamplov's instructions to Lin Yi resurfaced in his mind:

'Why did the Great Elder want to stop me from coming here?'

Could it be that once inside, there really is no returning?

Lin Yi immediately tried to use Return to City.

As expected, Return to City was unusable, and not even his Teleportation Scrolls could be used.

This place seemed completely cut off from the world.

Lin Yi furrowed his brows, contemplating the information he knew.

Nevertheless, none of that information provided even the slightest help to him at this moment.

Following the principle of making the best of a bad situation, Lin Yi decided to explore inside.

This time, unlike the last time with Satan J, there was no barrier separating the front hall from the areas behind.

Last time, it was because of that barrier that Lin Yi couldn't continue past the front hall to the buildings behind.

"Activate Flight Mode"

Three pairs of feather wings suddenly extended from Lin Yi's back as he planned to delve deeper inside to investigate.

And also take a look at the entrance to the Abyss passage.

However, just as Lin Yi was about to jump off the platform, his expression changed instantly:

"Not good!"

At this moment, a strong sense of crisis filled every cell in Lin Yi's body, sending chills down his spine.

The sensation was just like...that feeling of being watched earlier: it's him!

Behind!

As Lin Yi realized this:

"Clap~"

A hand suddenly rested on Lin Yi's shoulder, startling him completely unprepared:

"Instant Teleportation"

System: "Skill Activation Failed."

Instinctively wanting to use Instant Teleportation to escape, Lin Yi was utterly surprised by the failure:

"Damn it!"

Without hesitation, Lin Yi tightened his grip on the Emperor's Charm Sword and performed a graceful spin:

"Die!"

"Break·Heaven-Piercing Sun" (Eighth Transformation Lv80 new skill: Deals 300% Physical Damage to the target and triggers 100% Paralysis Effect, lasting 2 seconds.)

As Lin Yi's skill activated, the Emperor's Charm Sword transformed into a Long Rainbow Piercing the Sun, carrying a frenzy capable of tearing the void as it thrust behind him.

But reality wasn't as Lin Yi had imagined:

"Ding~"

What should have been a strike as penetrating as a sharp knife through bamboo now felt like a wooden sword striking iron:

"How is this possible!"

Lin Yi looked up in shock, only to see an elder with a childlike face and white eyebrows drooping like a mustache, smiling benignly at him:

"Is this your level of strength now?"

The voice sounded so kind and gentle.

Yet Lin Yi felt a surge of revulsion and agitation in his heart.

He didn't know why he felt that way...

Even though the elder was very strong.

Lin Yi wasn't about to back down either.

Facing such an unknown adversary, Lin Yi chose to trust his instincts (repulsion) rather than the appearances (kindness).

Lin Yi quickly withdrew his long sword:

"Let me show you my true strength."

Under the elder's indifferent gaze, the sword in Lin Yi's hand spun around and attacked once more.

Lin Yi grinned:

"Try this strike."

At that moment, countless Celestial shadows with feathered wings, even four wings, erupted around the Emperor's Charm Sword. Every shadow flashed with boundless fury:

"Celestial Fury" (Upon skill activation, deals fixed damage equal to twice the user's Life Value to the target.)

This time, the elder's expression showed a hint of bewilderment:

"Huh~"

However, the bewilderment quickly reverted to indifference:

"Petty trick."

The white-browed elder extended his hand as if to catch the blade barehanded?

But the next moment...

The Emperor's Charm Sword pierced straight through the elder's joined palms:

"Pssh~"

"-78900452"

The white-browed elder gazed in disbelief at the long sword embedded in his body, murmuring:

"How could you..."

Lin Yi swiftly withdrew the sword, bringing forth a splash of ink-black blood.

The blood immediately dyed the elder's robe into a black-brown color.

After succeeding in this strike, Lin Yi knew.

No matter how powerful the enemy was, they couldn't block this system-enforced damage setting.

However, from the previous skill's effect of "Break·Heaven-Piercing Sun," it was clear that, beyond "Celestial Fury," other skills adhered to basic principles.

That is, the defense of this elder must be incredibly high, making Lin Yi's regular skills ineffective against him.

Even less so for causing damage.

After landing a hit, Lin Yi didn't press on but retreated immediately, heading to the platform's edge.

Yet Lin Yi didn't fall from the platform but adeptly flapped his wings, quickly widening the distance between them.

In truth, it's not that Lin Yi didn't want to continue; rather, facing such a formidable entity, Lin Yi possessed self-awareness.

With "Celestial Fury" on cooldown, Lin Yi lost his means of countering the foe.

The current priority for Lin Yi was to ascertain the identity and intentions of the opponent.

But, judging from the color of the blood flowing from their body, Lin Yi had a vague suspicion of something.

Now, he just needed further confirmation.

Until nearly a hundred meters away, the opponent finally recovered from this shock.

The elder incredulously touched the blood on his body, then looked at Lin Yi in the distance:

"It seems I underestimated you after all."

Yet Lin Yi didn't have time for the opponent's nonsense but stared gravely at him:

"Who are you?"
