137: The old man's guidance leads to the realm of the gods!

"This strength is much stronger than last time, not bad, not bad."

Feeling the slight numbness in his fingertips, Di Jiang praised him with a sigh.

Destiny is indeed Destiny. To be able to grow at such high speed in a very short period of time—this kind of potential has already surpassed many of heaven's favored children.

It seems the potential of dual talents is indeed extraordinary.

Lin Yue's eyes narrowed slightly. Although the old man kept praising him, he didn't think so. It was true that his strength had increased, but in terms of technical skill, he was still far lacking.

If his analysis wasn't wrong, the old man's Moves were entirely based on technical operation.

Evading all attacks without taking damage—this level of skill was already beyond what human strength could achieve.

"Again!"

As soon as he spoke, Lin Yue didn't hesitate to cast Spells, directly activating his Chaos Power!

With a 7.0 Casting Speed, Thunder Cloud Spell could drop eighty-four bolts of lightning per second. Coupled with the Lightning Spell passive triggered by the Thunder Law, the number of lightning bolts fluctuated around ninety per second. He was only ten bolts away from reaching the Realm of striking a hundred bolts of lightning per second.

Faced with such a dense and terrifying quantity, the old man didn't panic at all. He wanted Destiny to strike with full force so he could see where the upper limit of Destiny's potential lay.

Rumble!

A massive roar echoed through the forest as countless bolts of lightning transformed into long snakes, their bodies twisting at high speed as they charged toward the seemingly ethereal yet very real Bagua Palm shield.

Facing so many lightning bolts, the old man's palms gradually turned into afterimages. His speed was so fast it was jaw-dropping.

When the lightning touched the palm wind, it was like an ant trying to shake a giant tree. Before it could even touch his skin, it was forcibly blown apart by the palm wind and dissipated into the air.

Chain Fireball!

Explosive Flame!

Thunder Punishment!

Thunderstorm!

Using various skills interchangeably, Lin Yue simultaneously divided his mind, controlling the Spells to begin curving.

In the sky, the Thunder Cloud Spell crackled. The Thunderstorm and Thunder Cloud Spell underwent Fusion, transforming into a small lightning Domain. In an instant, the old man was submerged in a rain of thunder.

Adjusting the direction of Thunder Punishment, it turned into six violent currents of electricity, booming toward the area surrounding the old man's body.

Fireball Spells accumulated in the air, while Explosive Flame obscured the old man's vision. Once their numbers reached over a hundred, they dispersed and surrounded the old man from all directions, leaving not a single blind spot.

Boom!

Bang!

Crimson flames danced in the air, and deep blue lightning turned into raindrops. Within a ten-meter radius centered on the old man, everything was now enveloped by countless Spells. The intensity of the offensive was suffocating!

"Good, good, good! White Emperor, I truly did not misjudge you!"

Amidst the deafening assault of the Spell cluster, the old man's voice carried through, and excitement could be felt in his tone.

Lin Yue's strength far exceeded his expectations.

The violent output, the devastating combo Moves, and the meticulous control over Spells—each one could make Di Jiang feel a sense of admiration for his talent.

But with all these combined, Di Jiang had already begun to faintly regard Lin Yue as an opponent.

"In that case, I'll show you a bit of my real strength, kid. Otherwise, you'll think this old man has really grown old."

With those words, a violent pressure suddenly appeared, radiating outward with Di Jiang as the center.

Domain of God!

"Ding! You have felt the Divine Might; all attributes have decreased by 50%!"

In just an instant, a massive pressure swept over him. Lin Yue felt as if his entire body was filled with lead, heavy and sinking as if into a quagmire. It was an indescribable discomfort.

Purify!

He cast Purify immediately, yet after the Spell, his physical condition remained unchanged.

Even the xuan ming heart-protecting mirror, a piece of special equipment capable of reducing all negative statuses, seemed to have lost its effect; nothing happened.

Divine Might is unstoppable!

"Domain of God... Is this the power of a god?"

Lin Yue's offensive suddenly slowed. His current stats felt as if they had returned to the state they were in when he first entered the ruins.

In his past life, the strongest opponent Lin Yue had faced was a Demi-god, and he hadn't defeated them with individual strength but through a legion battle, narrowly winning with combined power.

Now, the temporary strength Di Jiang spoke of felt not a single bit weaker than the Evil God Modoro from back then.

At the same time, in Phoenix Village.

Xihe and Cai Wenji, who were brewing tea, both shuddered. They were several kilometers away from the battlefield of Lin Yue and the old man, yet they could already feel the old man's Divine Might.

"That old geezer! We agreed it was just a spar, how can he use Divine Might!"

Xihe grumbled as she set down her teacup, walked out of the house, and looked into the distance.

"Your Ladyship, it seems Lord Chaos likes Mr. White Emperor very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't guide him like this."

Cai Wenji followed her, her gaze also fixed on the distant forest.

"What guidance? He's just a big bully picking on someone smaller. Just wait until he gets back, I'll teach him a lesson."

After saying that, Xihe's expression turned cold. She pulled Cai Wenji inside and shut the door with a 'bang.'

At the volcano, in the Lava Grotto.

The Phoenix, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened its eyes. Its flaming Phoenix eyes seemed to want to peer through the volcano toward the distance.

"Lord Chaos's Divine Might... Has another demon invaded?"

But after sensing it carefully, it felt different. "No, the Aura of the Divine Might is very weak, not even at the level of a Demi-god. It shouldn't be a demon invasion."

As for why Chaos was exerting Divine Might, the Phoenix's head couldn't figure it out for the moment. After shaking its head, it drifted back into a deep sleep.

In the Wutong Forest.

Lin Yue, covered in sweat, looked at the two Di Jiangs not far away, who were smiling without saying a word.

"How is it, little brother? What do you think of my Domain?"

"Very powerful!"

Lin Yue said through gritted teeth. He was very close to Di Jiang, so the pressure he felt was naturally the strongest.

At the start, it only weakened his attributes by 50%, but by now, they had been weakened by 80%.

If this continued for a bit longer, he felt his strength would return to the state it was in back in the Novice Village.

"This is just the beginning. You can't even handle a thousandth of my Divine Might?"

Di Jiang looked at Lin Yue leisurely, not in a hurry to strike, letting Lin Yue feel the power of Divine Might a bit longer.

"A thousandth? Old man, don't joke with me. This pressure is already comparable to a Demi-god."

Lin Yue suddenly looked up. If Di Jiang was telling the truth, then Di Jiang's strength was terrifying. If a thousandth of his Divine Might could make Lin Yue feel like he was walking on thin ice and struggling to Move...

...then how strong would the Domain of God be if it were fully activated?

"Oh? You've seen a Demi-god? You know the strength of a Demi-god?"

Di Jiang instantly became interested. Logically, with Lin Yue's current strength, it should be impossible for him to come into contact with the Demi-god level.

Where did he learn about it?

"Old man, did you forget? I escaped from the Ruins of the Gods. Although I haven't seen a Demi-god, I've seen a Clone of Asmodeus."

"Asmodeus!"

Hearing this name, the old man's calm expression finally changed.

That guy is actually still alive?
