72: Breaking through the pillar of will

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

On the massive ice and snow plaza, Lin Yi walked slowly. His figure seemed illusory, and his steps, though seemingly slow, were actually fast. After only two or three breaths, he had crossed hundreds of meters and arrived at the outermost edge of the willpower stone pillar's coverage area.

Then, under the watchful gaze of Wang Yu behind him, he took a single step and entered the 800-meter radius of the willpower stone pillar.

"Roar!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The moment he entered the 800-meter range of the willpower stone pillar, terrifying waves of Killing Intent instantly rushed into Lin Yi's mind.

At this moment, Lin Yi felt as if he were standing in an infinitely bloody and terrifying battlefield.

That terrifying and utterly brutal Killing Intent was enough to directly cause the mental collapse of any Martial Artist below the sixth Rank!

But... "Break!"

On the massive ice and snow plaza, Lin Yi let out a low shout. Rays of light seemed to shine in his eyes, and he immediately pushed through the terrifying Killing Intent, advancing toward the willpower stone pillar.

Having lived two lives, his Divine Soul and will were naturally much stronger than those of ordinary youths.

Coupled with his numerous Talents, his Divine Soul was even stronger. Especially after evolving the "Will Growth" Talent more than a month ago, Lin Yi hadn't felt any physical changes over the past month.

However, his will strength was steadily increasing alongside the improvement of his Cultivation and the passage of time.

Therefore, although his current will was far inferior to those fifteen-year-old Geniuses who were born with Azure-level Will Talent, it was definitely much stronger than that of ordinary fifteen-year-old Limit Breaking Geniuses!

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

On the ice and snow plaza, Lin Yi's eyes shone brightly as he approached the willpower stone pillar step by step with resolute gaze.

800 meters!

790 meters!

780 meters!

...750 meters!

...Lin Yi's speed wasn't too fast, but every step he took was extremely steady, as if the terrifying impact of the Killing Will couldn't interfere with him at all. His stability was absolute, and he quickly entered the 750-meter range.

"Heh heh, this little guy Lin Yi, it seems his will is quite good. It's much stronger than I imagined!"

In front of the ice and snow plaza, Wang Yu's eyes lit up as he watched Lin Yi walk step by step across the field.

Being able to easily enter the 750-meter range of the willpower stone pillar meant that his will limit could at least reach the 650-meter mark.

The 650-meter mark was already considered a top-tier standard among the Limit Breaking Geniuses who reached that stage at fifteen years old throughout the history of Tianshan Pavilion.

"It seems my Heavenly Mountain Sect is about to produce another formidable Genius."

Wang Yu smiled and continued watching.

At this moment, on the plaza, as Lin Yi entered the 750-meter range, the terrifying waves of Killing Intent rapidly intensified.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Die! All of you die!"

Waves of Will Impact rushed into Lin Yi's mind, causing sharp bursts of pain in his head.

Having reached this point, even though Lin Yi's will and Divine Soul were excellent, his speed couldn't help but slow down now.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

On the plaza, Lin Yi walked slowly, gradually adapting himself to the terrifying Will Impact of the willpower stone pillar.

At the same time, as the Will Impact intensified step by step, the large characters for the Azure-level Talent "Will Growth" on the attribute panel seemed to emit a brilliant Cyan Light.

At this moment, Lin Yi felt as if his will was rapidly growing and strengthening under the Tempering of the willpower stone pillar.

As time passed, even though his body was rapidly moving toward the willpower stone pillar, the stinging pain in his mind not only failed to increase but even seemed to lessen.

"Will Growth, is this the Will Talent that appears once in a billion people?"

Seeing this, Lin Yi was somewhat shocked:

"As expected of an Azure-level Talent, it's truly terrifying! It can actually strengthen my Willpower this quickly."

"Although this is also because my Willpower was originally far inferior to those Geniuses who truly possessed Azure-level Will Talent, progressing this fast now is simply horrifying."

"I wonder how terrifying those Geniuses who have had Azure-level Will Talent since childhood will be when they reach fifteen years old. It's probably effortless for them to break into the 500-meter mark of the willpower stone pillar!"

"As for Senior Brother Jiang Hanhan, he was able to reach the level of Will Transforming the Divine Soul in a short time, thereby quickly comprehending Limit Breaking. His Talent is probably even higher, possibly reaching the mystic purple rank level."

Lin Yi speculated internally, then focused his mind, slowly using the willpower stone pillar to temper his will, while continuing to advance toward the willpower stone pillar.

Finally, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

"Snap!"

The moment Lin Yi stepped into the 700-meter range of the willpower stone pillar, waves of Will Impact, more than ten times more terrifying than before, instantly descended upon his mind.

"Roar! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Die! All of you die for me!"

"My Lord, I died so unjustly!"

...Waves of charging cries, shouts, and wails appeared in Lin Yi's mind.

At this moment, not only was Lin Yi's mind stinging, but layers of Illusions even appeared before his eyes.

In the Illusion, an unparalleled Divine General, possessing the strength to uproot mountains, capture Dragons, and throw elephants, rode an Exotic Beast, holding a Thousand-jin Great Saber, and severed Lin Yi at the waist with a single strike.

There was also a terrifying Military Formation radiating monstrous Killing Intent and Vital Qi, plowing violently forward as if splitting the heavens and cracking the earth, instantly grinding Lin Yi into dust.

There was also the "Ghost Bride," pale-skinned, dressed in Scarlet Wedding Clothes, with black holes for eyes that continuously wept crimson blood, stretching out black sharp claws and tearing out Lin Yi's heart with one grab!

Layer upon layer of Illusions, infinitely terrifying, countless times more real than any so-called 3D or virtual images from his previous life, continuously assaulted Lin Yi's Consciousness, his mind, and his spirit!

"Break! Break! Break!"

On the massive ice and snow plaza, Lin Yi roared internally, shattering all the layers of Illusions, and then walked forward step by step.

690 meters!

680 meters!

670 meters!

...Lin Yi's speed was extremely slow, much slower than before; it took about four or five breaths just to take one step slowly.

But although his speed was slow, his body kept moving.

Finally, after more than a quarter hour.

"Thump!"

On the plaza, when Lin Yi took another step, his entire body had already entered the 650-meter range.

"What, what's going on? It's only been a little over a quarter hour, and he's already entered the 650-meter range?"

"And judging by his appearance, he can still continue moving forward. If he reaches his will limit, could he possibly enter the 600-meter mark of the willpower stone pillar? This... Lin Yi's will is actually this strong?"

Seeing this scene, Wang Yu, standing in front of the plaza, was utterly shocked.
