I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 861: Chapter 861: Lin Yi’s Unease

The Divine Soldier of the Punishment Department merely hooked a finger, and a ghost’s soul was involuntarily drawn to the front of him, into his palm.

”Hey, be good, stick out your tongue.”

Despite a hundred reluctances, the ghost’s soul still wore a terrified face as it obediently stuck out its tongue without any resistance, allowing the Divine Soldier of the Punishment Department to administer the tongue-pulling punishment, with Lin Yi and the other two watching from the side.

Halfway through the process, one of the Divine Soldiers of the Punishment Department suddenly sensed something was amiss.

Usually, when escorting these malicious spirits, don’t the Nine Nether Divine Soldiers rely on their weapons? Who else has ever used a cage to deliver them?

Moreover, this cage, at first glance, seems somewhat transparent, but it’s actually made of special flames.

”Brother, where did you get this cage? I haven’t heard of a new escort tool being distributed from above. These flames, although not particularly strong in power, seem to have a direct damaging effect on souls. Where did it come from?”

The Divine Soldier of the Punishment Department just realized something was off and began interrogating.

Sigh~

Lin Yi sighed, putting an arm around the shoulder of his nearby brother.

This sincere brotherhood lasted only a very short time.

He had hoped to interact more with these sincere brothers in front of him, but unfortunately, these three honest brothers were just too clever.

”Brothers, didn’t those malicious spirits just say it? We three, indeed, are not people of the Nine Nether. On this point, they weren’t lying to you. We are here to carry out a task, unfortunately, we are enemies. So, you all should just take a good nap.”

The three of them moved simultaneously and knocked the three Divine Soldiers of the Punishment Department unconscious.

To ensure these three wouldn’t wake up shortly, Xiyue even deliberately sprinkled some poison on the three Divine Soldiers of the Punishment Department.

As for those eight malicious spirits.

Lin Yi snapped his fingers, and blades formed from the Fallen Heart Flame pierced through them one after another.

The moment the Fallen Heart Flame pierced their soul bodies, the soul bodies of the eight malicious spirits shattered instantly.

”I, Lin Yi, am the most trustworthy. I didn’t intend to truly hand you over to the Divine Soldiers of the Punishment Department. It’s a pity, you said what you shouldn’t have.”

If the souls of the eight malicious spirits were still present, they’d surely use some colorful language to greet Lin Yi upon hearing his words.

Being faithful to law-breaking malicious spirits? Sorry, Lin Yi isn’t that naive.

The trio’s movements were quick and subtle, so without drawing the attention of other Divine Soldiers within the Eighteen Layers of Hell, Lin Yi had taken them into the depths of the Punishment Department.

Seeing Divine Soldiers escorting souls entering, the Divine Soldiers of the Punishment Department immediately stopped them:

What are you doing, don’t you know....

The absolute power gap couldn’t be resisted.

The heads and bodies of the ten armed Divine Soldiers of the Punishment Department were separated by the influence of powerful Divine Power even before finishing their words.

Lin Yi activated the Gravity Manipulation skill, drawing a Divine Soldier’s head into his hand and used the Touch of Reincarnation skill to read its memories.

Sure enough, after Lin Yi used the Gravity Manipulation skill, a Skill Sensing Spirit Crystal emitted an alarm sound.

Lin Yi, promptly in the Tombstone Inscription state, quickly acted before the alarm sound reached other Divine Soldiers of the Punishment Department, directly pinpointed the Skill Sensing Spirit Crystal, and destroyed it using the Power of the Primordial.

Heading deeper in, the Divine Soldiers of the Punishment Department were seriously administering punishment to heinous criminals, completely unaware that invaders had silently entered the Nine Nether stronghold and, without any time for reaction, had sealed them into the Eternal Ice.

To become a Divine Soldier, one must possess the Power of the Primordial within them, but the amount they have is too scarce to dissolve the Saint Transformation Level Supreme Law’s power easily.

Lin Yi’s actions didn’t end their lives, but it did incapacitate them for at least half an hour.

Swiftly passing through the Punishment Department’s execution grounds, Lin Yi and the others finally reached the end of the Eighteen Layers of Hell.

Underfoot, flames roared.

The enclosed, narrow space, akin to a cave, steamed with gurgling heat.

Using the Eyes of Golden Flame, Lin Yi could clearly see the heat seeping through the crevices in the ground; through the Eye of All-Seeing, Lin Yi could clearly see the special seal made of the Power of the Primordial, marked before them, invisible to the naked eye except for Lin Yi.

Gazing at the seal, Lin Yi was prompted to summon Lin You from the Undead Space, unable to suppress his curiosity.

”Lin You, are you sure this place is the forbidden land of the Nine Nether, untouched by anyone for thousands of years?”

Lin You blinked a few times, a hint of puzzlement flashing in his eyes.

”What is it, Lin Yi, according to my memory, indeed no one has set foot here for thousands of years. The seal etched on the ground can only be opened with the blood of a direct descendant of the Qin Family, meaning only my father, my brother, myself, and my sister in the entire Nine Nether can open this seal with our blood.”

Lin Yi’s Eye of All-Seeing can penetrate anything related to Source Power, but what lies before them wasn’t composed of Source Power but rather the more advanced Power of the Primordial.

This made Lin Yi uncertain for a moment.

Following Lin Yi’s gaze, except for the endlessly emerging heat, nothing else was visible.

”Is there something on the ground? Why can’t I see it?”

Xiyue’s face was full of confusion.

”Yes, I can’t see anything either.”

Ziyue muttered along.

For a moment, Lin Yi was at a loss for words.

He didn’t know whether to answer, or what to answer first.

”I think this seal must have been activated not long ago, maybe the person imprisoned inside has already been moved elsewhere.”

Hearing these words, Lin You paused for a moment, then forced a smile:

Below this Eighteen Layers of Hell is the densest Nine Nether chaos stream, not to mention setting foot here, opening this seal would cause quite a commotion. The terror of the Nine Nether chaos stream isn’t something that can be resisted merely by the Power of the Primordial, Lin Yi, didn’t you use the Touch of Reincarnation to read their memories?

Lin Yi was silent.

He indeed used the Touch of Reincarnation skill to read the memories of the Divine Soldier he had just defeated, but this soldier’s memory of the Eighteen Layers of Hell only extended to three days ago; he had just been transferred here.

”Lin You, wait.”

Before Lin Yi could finish speaking, Lin You had already guided a drop of her own blood outside her body and then dropped it on the ground.

Maybe out of a fluke, or a lack of confidence in his judgment, Lin Yi could have caught Lin You’s blood in time to stop it, but he didn’t raise his hand to intervene, instead, he simply watched as the drop of blood fell onto the ground.

As it turned out, everything was just as Lin You had said.

The moment her blood came into contact with the array, a dark purple light flickered around.
