I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 949: Chapter 949: The Unbelievable Clone Skill

This sort of situation was the first time she, the Demon-Slaying Star Monarch, had ever encountered it.

The two Upper-Rank Gods, the Demon Extermination Star Monarch and the Soul Capturing Star Monarch, were long-term partners who cooperated with her. The three of them were on par in strength, able to link up in battle, using their respective skills to complement one another, forming combo techniques and achieving an effect where one plus one was greater than two.

The reason the Immortal King sent these three to move together was precisely because he believed their cooperation was tacit; on this relatively remote-coordinate planet, they could link up with each other, tear open a breach in the Desire Realm, and make full preparations for the subsequent offensive of the All Celestial Divine Beings.

At the beginning, the three did not betray expectations and indeed accomplished this.

Because of their long-term cooperation, the three were also very familiar with one another.

The Demon-Slaying Star Monarch knew very well that the Demon Extermination Star Monarch had never been the type to act arrogant. When he encountered an enemy he wasn’t sure he could defeat, he would definitely call the other two to link up, in order to steadily achieve victory.

The question thrown over by the Soul Capturing Star Monarch was something the Demon-Slaying Star Monarch did not know how to answer for the moment.

"Don’t overthink it. The death of the Demon Extermination Star Monarch proves how strong the enemy is. Knowing that is enough."

The Demon-Slaying Star Monarch’s face was full of cold severity as she spoke her thoughts.

"Tell the people you’re bringing to turn on all their buff-type enhancements before entering Planet 501. Playing it safe will never be wrong. Your life is your own, and you only have one. Don’t you dare act high and mighty."

On the other end of the Communication Spirit Crystal, the Soul Capturing Star Monarch was nodding like crazy.

He’d managed to turtle it out to this age entirely because he was cautious enough. Naturally, he agreed with the Demon-Slaying Star Monarch’s words.

Before the Demon-Slaying Star Monarch even said this, the death-fearing him had already ignored the Divine Power consumption of his Divine Soldiers and had them activate their buff-type enhancements.

On this, his subordinates, the Divine Soldiers, could only seethe in silence, not daring to voice their complaints.

"Alright, enough nonsense. From your coordinates, you’re about to reach Planet 501. We need to meet up at the first possible moment to deal with any special situations."

"Okay, let’s speed up our rendezvous."

The call hadn’t even been cut, and the designated location hadn’t yet been reached, when the Soul Capturing Star Monarch’s advancing footsteps came to a halt.

Because at this moment, he sensed six distinct auras—each not as strong as his, but still rather terrifying.

When he fell silent mid-sentence and lifted his head to look ahead, what he saw were six young men, all wearing Gale Wings, all dressed and looking exactly the same.

"How... how is this possible!"

When he focused and clearly saw, and fully sensed, the auras of the six young men, the Soul Capturing Star Monarch couldn’t help but cry out in shock on the spot.

On the other end of the Communication Spirit Crystal, the Demon-Slaying Star Monarch was also stunned.

"You... on your side, don’t tell me it’s also...?"

When the two looked at each other’s situation through the Communication Spirit Crystal, they were both shocked by the scene before their eyes.

The Soul Capturing and Demon Extermination Star Monarchs.

As Upper-Rank Gods among the All Celestial Divine Beings whose status wasn’t particularly high, their position was rather awkward.

On a day-to-day basis, basically, whether the matter was big or small, it would be handed to Star Monarch–level Divine Beings like them.

Bringing this up wasn’t to talk about how hard these two Star Monarchs had it, but to emphasize that the two of them had gone through plenty of battles.

After doing errands for the All Celestial Divine Beings for so many years and capturing countless enemies of all kinds of abilities, this was still the first time these two Star Monarchs had encountered twelve identical opponents.

Physical clones or Blinding Skill–type clones—these two categories of skills were extremely limited in their use during battle and were rarely used at all. They had never thought much of this type of skill.

Until today, when they encountered Lin Yi.

These were twelve identical clones, all with equally powerful auras. Just by standing there, even with buffs on them and their Divine Power Level surpassing Lin Yi’s, they unintentionally brought immense pressure to the two Star Monarchs, to the point that they subconsciously checked their link with the buffs behind them, making sure nothing had gone wrong.

Facing six identical clones each, the pressure and the weirdness sent chills down the two Star Monarchs’ spines.

"You brat, you must be......"

Brat this, brat that—cut the crap.

The Soul Capturing Star Monarch hadn’t even finished his sentence. Just as he opened his mouth, one of the six men before him moved.

He saw one of Lin Yi’s clones raise his right hand and then gently clench it.

In an instant, a terrifying suction force that was impossible to resist erupted out of thin air.

The Soul Capturing Star Monarch looked up and saw above Lin Yi’s head, for no apparent reason, a full eleven black Gravity Balls hanging in the sky.

What the hell is that?!

The Soul Capturing Star Monarch couldn’t help but frown.

After traversing the Ten Thousand Realms for so many years, this was the first time he had ever seen such a bizarre move.

Ordinary Divine Beings—no, actually, all Divine Beings—started out as ordinary people before becoming gods.

From low-tier to high-tier skills, the consumption required to use them and the Chanting Time needed—these were all things the Soul Capturing Star Monarch understood.

Even after becoming a Divine Being, he still could not instantly cast high-tier skills.

He was very clear on one point: twelve identical powerhouses could not possibly all be the main body. They were all clones, yet they weren’t ordinary clones. They all had flesh and blood, could cast skills—high-tier skills at that—and they were instant-cast clones! And on top of that, they were tossing out a dozen-plus high-tier skills in one go.

It wasn’t that a single Forbidden Curse could crush and defeat an Upper-Rank God whose Divine Power surpassed Lin Yi’s.

If that were really the case, Lin Yi wouldn’t need to go to such lengths to raise his strength.

The Earth-Bursting Celestial Star dealt very little damage to the Divine Soldiers.

Under the protection of Taichu and Divine Power, most of the physical damage could be blocked.

But that extraordinary gravitational pull brought by the super-heavy gravity was something that Divine Power protection could not offset.

Sure enough, before the Divine Soldiers behind him had time to take any formation-related actions, the terrifying suction from above their heads had already pulled them into the sky, and the Array they had prepared in advance was being torn out of shape.

No, what the hell is this!

The Soul Capturing Star Monarch’s face, already pale, became even paler.

With the Demon Extermination Star Monarch as a cautionary tale right in front of him, he knew very well what kind of end awaited him if he couldn’t go all out.

Their companion was killed in a single second, not even having time to send out a distress signal—wasn’t it highly likely he’d suffer the same damn fate?

While his mind was in a daze, the six clones in front of him suddenly became five. One of them vanished on the spot, and the on-edge Soul Capturing Star Monarch immediately heightened all his senses to search for the location of the Lin Yi clone that had disappeared.

Even after becoming a god, one could not erase their humanity.

And one aspect of humanity was fear of the unknown. When a foe capable of threatening his safety suddenly disappeared from his field of vision, who could remain calm?

Just as the Soul Capturing Star Monarch fully unleashed his Perception to lock onto the position of that vanished clone, he immediately raised his head and looked toward a point several thousand meters above his own head.

He wouldn’t have known if he hadn’t looked. Once he did, he was scared out of his wits.

A huge gray-black dragon-shaped creature was coiled behind Lin Yi, like a hunting hound ready to spring, waiting in the air behind Lin Yi.

That dragon-shaped creature had no pupils. In its eyes flowed a dead, gray color, carrying a distinctly terrifying air.
