Chen Xin consoled, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, they don't seem to be able to get in. We'll just focus on the attack, then take the reward and quickly return to Soul Land. Senior Lin Yi has got our backs."
"Hmm!"
Covered in blue-purple scales with filaments of electricity, pieces of them surfaced on Emperor Xueye's skin.
At that moment, Emperor Xueye glanced at the five gods outside the divine shield, swallowed hard, and thought to himself, "Since the divine shield is preventing them from coming in, I should be able to safely use the Lightning Conduit Kite, right?"
Thinking this, Emperor Xueye again looked at Lin Yi, what the heck, Senior Lin Yi is here! I'm not afraid!
He directly took out a white kite from his body.
The Evil God narrowed his eyes: "A kite? What's he doing with a kite?"
The Asura God, with his hands clasped behind his back, spoke in a cold voice, "If I'm not mistaken, that kite is a treasure that fell during a previous attack. This treasure will boost his attack, allowing him to obtain better items. The higher the damage, the better the quality of the items."
Hearing this, the other four gods looked at him with surprised expressions.
The Asura God was so familiar with these humans' "attack rules"?
Oh right, I forgot he had been silently observing Lin Yi for a long time and had even silently noted down the rules...
Emperor Xueye tossed the kite upward, and it easily passed through the divine shield, floating upwards.
Hmm? It can pass through?
The Destruction God noticed this and immediately seized the opportunity to hammer another punch at the divine shield; he wanted to drag that Lin Yi brat out for a fight!
The divine shield caved in but rebounded immediately, pushing the Destruction God back half a step.
The other four gods turned their heads to look at him as if viewing him with a "pity for the foolish" gaze.
The Destruction God cleared his throat, somewhat embarrassed, "I thought it could pass through..."
As the kite hovered in the sky, the heavens suddenly darkened, with seven-colored lightning weaving through them like fierce pythons, ready to devour at any moment.
The five divine beings were stupefied.
The Life Goddess almost blurted out, "Seven-Colored Heavenly Lightning?!"
They almost instinctively looked at the Asura God, for in the Divine Realm, the Asura God – who presided over judgment – could be said to be the master of the Seven-Colored Heavenly Lightning.
This time, the Asura God raised his hand as if to grasp the Sky Lightning weaving through the clouds, but an embarrassing scene occurred - the lightning did not heed his command at all.
"Um..."
The Asura God looked down at his hand and could only lower it again.
He said, with an unnatural expression, "I tried it in Soul Land before, and I didn't succeed there either. I didn't expect the same in the Divine Realm."
Unbelievable, the Asura God couldn't control the Seven-Colored Heavenly Lightning!
Yet this Seven-Colored Heavenly Lightning was effortlessly harnessed by a kite.
The four gods felt as if their worldviews had shattered to pieces.
An abundance of seven-colored lightning crept down along the kite string, enveloping Emperor Xueye's body, which had become burly and robust.
The Evil God nodded and couldn't help but praise, "Using Sky Lightning in conjunction with his control over the Thunder and Lightning element, this treasure indeed fits him well."
He then pointed to Emperor Xueye and asked, "I visited Soul Land before and have some memory of their Martial Souls. This man's Martial Soul is the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon, right? I believe that's the name."
The Asura God nodded, "But as far as I know, this man's Martial Soul was a gift from Lin Yi."
"Hmm?"
A string of question marks hung on the face of the Evil God.
He began to doubt whether his understanding of the common knowledge of Soul Land was false.
"A Martial Soul can be gifted?"
"Heh, of course not."
Upon hearing this, the expression on the Evil God's face suddenly became one of disbelief: "You're saying, among the treasures dropped by attacks, Martial Souls are included as well? This thing can be gifted too?"
"That young man is the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, named Emperor Xueye, and his original Martial Soul was a swan, a plain, ordinary swan."
The Life Goddess slightly furrowed her brows and suddenly recalled a matter, "Emperor Xueye? I have an impression, when I was traveling through Soul Land it seemed to be in the Tiandou Empire. At that time, he was still a ten-year-old child, the fourth prince of Tiandou, but according to the timeline, he should have passed away, or at least be an old man, yet here is a young man, and he still has such a vigorous life force."
The Asura God curved his lips upward, "Why do you all think Lin Yi does not have the ability to extend life spans?"
The four gods:?
Destruction finally couldn't hold back, and with a hoarse voice, he said, "Enough, this bragging is too outrageous; it's annoying."
The Asura God didn't retort as usual, but instead let out a long sigh, "I really wish I were bragging... Life, can you calculate the bone age of that child and tell them how old he is this year? And how much longer does he have to live?"
The Life Goddess followed the Asura God's gaze and saw a little guy eating a lollipop.
This little guy held the stick of the lollipop with both hands and looked extremely cute. The gaze of the Life Goddess softened involuntarily, as she too wished for a child as adorable as him. Sadly, because of the special nature of the Destruction God, she could never have children.
But isn't this just a four- or five-year-old human child? Why would I need to measure his bone age?
The Life Goddess did as instructed, and within her green eyes suddenly flashed a glint of bright gold, reflecting the Little Golden Crocodile's silhouette.
Suddenly, her expression turned into one of shock and astonishment.
"He is, incredibly, over a hundred years old..."
What should have been a white-haired and elderly man appeared as a four- or five-year-old child!
The Asura God, as if he had anticipated this, continued to inquire, "And his remaining lifespan?"
"Eleven thousand five hundred years!"
The Life Goddess blurted out.
The Asura God frowned, "Over ten thousand years..."
He had only guessed Little Golden Crocodile's age but couldn't discern the remaining lifespan like the Life Goddess could, now unable to hide his astonishment.
Evil glanced at the Asura God and then at the Life Goddess, saying with noticeable unease, "A... A human with a remaining lifespan of over ten thousand years? Are you sure?"
The Life Goddess's eyes gleamed golden as she recalculated, "Sure, eleven thousand five hundred years."
"Damn."
The Evil God swallowed, touched the barrier, and half-jokingly, half-desirously said, "Can I ask him to let me in? I want to make an attack too..."
The Kindness Goddess, his wife, gave him a sideways glance, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Hehe, but I really am curious, this kid is even more divine than a god!"
The Benevolent Goddess's beautiful eyes moved, and she nodded as well, "Indeed."
The Destruction God's face became even uglier.
At this moment, the coordinated attack from Emperor Xueye and Chen Xin had already landed on Lin Yi's body. The Seven-Colored Heavenly Lightning shone brilliantly within the shield, and the five gods outside likewise felt the presence of the Thunder and Lightning element.
The Asura God couldn't help but touch the barrier, thinking to himself how wondrous it was.
Outsiders cannot enter, but things from inside can freely come through; it seems that for outsiders to get in, they too must need Lin Yi's consent.
For someone who also possessed the Asura Sword and could surely use it effortlessly, the Asura God never underestimated Lin Yi; this was the main reason he chose to observe rather than attack directly.
But after the assault ended, they saw the two men launch another attack; Emperor Xueye even used the Lightning Conduit Kite's Seven-Colored Heavenly Lightning again.
"What is that golden light?"
asked the Kindness Goddess.
The Asura God, "They call it Damage Rebound, which occurs after every attack. It changes synchronously with the strength of the attack, sometimes even threatening the attacker's life."
This guy knows the details very well… The Destruction God's dark purple eyes stared at the Asura God for a moment.
Then, he also noticed a scene that Lin Yi was unharmed, or rather, utterly unscratched.
More and more like a god… The Destruction God couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"The attack's over; what about the dropped item? Why don't I see it?"
The Evil God asked.
The Asura God, "Don't rush, according to my observation, the item has already been generated."
