Lin Yi had no idea how lively Inner Island of Constant Island had become because of the betting platform opened by He Mingli.

Of course, to be precise, he knew that his progress in the Eternal Source Ring would be transmitted back to the Central Plaza Constant Island in real time, so that the students on the island who had not participated in the trials could observe and learn from it.

This was an established rule from the first six trials; Constant Lord Eric had mentioned it to him before he set off.

But he truly didn't know that He Family was using the speed at which their group of one hundred people cleared the level to place bets.

They were unaware that Lin Yi's name was ranked thirteenth in the odds, and they were also unaware that many familiar or unfamiliar students from the inner island were clicking on his name on the betting screen, placing bets of Eternal Cosmos Crystal.

Even though he knew, Lin Yi had no interest in investigating further.

His entire attention was focused on the trial space of the Eternal Source Ring before him.

This is an extremely vast void.

There was no solid ground beneath our feet, no clear dome overhead, and no boundary markers to refer to in any direction.

Looking around, all around was a void between light gray and silvery white, with countless extremely fine energy threads moving up and down in a very slow rhythm, like capillaries that had just awakened after sleeping for countless years.

What truly stirred Lin Yi's heart was the faint, pervasive fluctuation of Law Inscriptions that permeated every corner of this void.

Yes, the Law Inscriptions.

Lin Yi could clearly sense that this seemingly empty void was actually densely filled with countless transparent Law Inscriptions.

The inscriptions were hidden above his head, at his feet, in front of him, behind him, and perhaps even hovering less than a finger's width in front of his nose, but he couldn't see them at all.

"According to Eric, we need to use Soul Power to check..."

Lin Yi tried to mobilize his Soul Power and scan the surroundings.

Sure enough, in his perception, the previously empty void suddenly revealed dense, translucent inscription patterns.

However, Lin Yi only glanced at it briefly before turning his attention back to it.

Because Constant Island had already thoroughly understood the Law Inscriptions exposed during the operation of the three levels of the solo trial, there were no secrets left for them.

Therefore, when he is conducting solo trials, he does not need to be distracted by observing the Law Inscriptions and can focus entirely on his own task.

"Since the first three levels are nothing to worry about, I won't bother with them."

Lin Yi muttered to himself and began the final preparations before the trial began.

The most fundamental rule of the Eternal Source Ring Trial is that no external objects are permitted.

The trial space has its own detection mechanism. Once you try to activate any treasure in the level, it will immediately be judged as a violation, and you will be ejected directly from the level.

Being ejected won't kill you, but you'll lose your eligibility for the solo trial.

Therefore, even the armor he was wearing was an energy armor condensed out of thin air using the power of the Chaos Law.

However, as for its defensive capabilities...

It's barely better than nothing in a battle of the same level, only slightly better than running naked.

However, there are ways to strengthen this armor.

Lin Yi looked down at his pale gold energy armor, which was all show and no substance, raised his right hand, and extended his index finger.

A very thin, pale golden light shone from his fingertips.

The light was not dazzling, but extremely concentrated, trembling slightly at his fingertips with an extremely stable frequency.

Then, Lin Yi used his finger as a pen and the void as paper to begin sketching the Law Inscriptions.

His fingertips traced a smooth arc in the void before him, the end of the arc flicking slightly upwards before folding back to the left at an extremely precise angle, pausing gently at the fold, leaving behind a law node no bigger than a fingernail.

Immediately afterward, his fingers did not stop, extending three new inscription threads from the law node. Each of the three threads extended in a different direction, with different arcs and thicknesses, yet they converged again at a specific point and then forked.

He stood suspended in mid-air, sketching rapidly with his fingers as a brush.

Soon, when the last strand of pale gold inscription thread was precisely embedded into the reserved closed node, the entire inscription circuit suddenly lit up.

It was a miniature reinforcement rune.

Its overall structure is about 60-70% similar to the ancient, Fortification Inscriptions he restored on Constant Island, but he simplified some key parts.

There was no other way; he had no inscription materials at hand, so he could only use the Chaos Power to condense inscription patterns out of thin air.

While this method can be used, its upper limit is very low. Overly complex inscription circuits simply cannot withstand the continuous operation of Chaos Power and will collapse on their own due to energy overload before long.

Therefore, only a simplified version can be made.

However simplified it may be, it is still a legitimate reinforcement-type Law Inscriptions.

Lin Yi extended his left hand and gently pressed it against the miniature reinforcement rune floating in front of him. The rune silently disappeared into the center of the pale gold energy armor on his chest.

Then, a pale golden halo rippled out from the point where the rune was embedded.

Where the light swept across, the armor's color deepened noticeably, and several simple patterns appeared on its surface.

Lin Yi then continued without stopping.

The second course followed immediately.

The third course.

The fourth one.

Lin Yi's movements became faster and faster, his ten fingers tracing patterns in the air like flowing water.

Law Inscriptions flowed from his fingertips, precisely embedding themselves into the vital parts of his armor. In no time, his armor was covered with dense Law Inscriptions.

These inscriptions are interconnected to form a complete defensive system. With each completed circuit, the color of the armor becomes thicker and more refined.

In the end, the originally pale golden Chaos Power condensation had faintly shone with a dark golden luster, almost like a substance. The law patterns flowing on the surface were layered upon layered, exuding a calm and profound aura.

Lin Yi looked down, then stretched his shoulders and nodded in satisfaction.

"It's alright, it'll do for now. Although it's not as good as the Constant Guard Golden Armor, it's much better than before."

Having done all this, Lin Yi made no further moves and patiently waited for the first stage to officially begin.

He didn't have to wait long.

Soon, the trial space changed.

Directly in front of him, three grayish-white phantoms appeared simultaneously in the void.

The three phantoms were initially just three blurry wisps of mist, almost indistinguishable in shape, hovering in mid-air, wriggling slightly at a constant frequency.

After about three breaths, the three blurry phantoms began to gradually reveal their outlines amidst the interweaving of light threads.

A human figure.

Three figures.

Lin Yi watched the three figures coalescing, let out a soft breath, and his tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Pure combat levels.

What he was most worried about before was actually the kind of level with special environments Cosmic Sea Wonder.

These places don't completely disregard combat ability, but relatively speaking, survivability and adaptability are more important.

Although Lin Yi had enough confidence in his abilities, there were simply too many variables in those levels, making them less direct than combat levels.

He was very familiar with the combat levels.

He had fought hundreds of matches in the Ring Arena and killed countless Black Silence Beast on the Frontline the Black Mist Sea. He dealt with all kinds of battles almost every day.

According to the information about the Eternal Source Ring before departure, this type of battle stage with three trial subjects appears most frequently in the single-player trials of the Eternal Source Ring, and its rules are also very simple.

One against many, one person fighting three top players of the same rank.

Taking his fourth-level Eternal Source Realm as an example, the trial space will generate three trial bodies with the same level as him, each possessing four Chaos Source Seal Pact, with one Divine Grade and three Saint Grade seals respectively.

This configuration is indeed top-notch, meeting the entry-level standards for the Inner Island of Constant Island, and the secret techniques they possess are also of a similar quality.

However, in Lin Yi's view, although these trial subjects were generally not strong individually, they could fight three against one, and the opponents could use the Chaos Seal Pact Unleashed with complete impunity, while he himself could only use the Void Seal Unleashed. In addition, all the trial subjects were fearless of death, so it was still a bit troublesome.

Moreover, these trial subjects also possess secret techniques similar to <Pact Condensation>. Of course, similar to the geniuses they are comparable to, their illusory contract power is only about one-fifth of that of a normal illusory contract, and their number is usually only seven to ten.

"But it adds up to quite a bit, and with the ability to unleash powerful bursts at will, we need to make good use of the Void Contract to finish the battle quickly..."

"After all, for me, once I get past the first hurdle, the next two are practically free."

Lin Yi silently muttered a sentence to himself.

This is not arrogance, but the truth.

Although the <Pact Condensation> technique is extremely difficult, he has already mastered it to perfection. Moreover, before entering the Eternal Source Ring, he had already condensed all thirty illusory contracts.

The virtual contract configuration he adopted was a decision made after repeated deliberation.

Nine Light of Eternal Silence, nine Blazing Condensation, nine Voidless, plus three Constant Fusion.

This configuration balances attack, control, defense, and survivability, with virtually no weaknesses.

Especially those three Constant Fusion Void Contracts, although they cannot compare to the true Constant Fusion Great Burst that can traverse one and a half Constant Domain, their teleportation range of nearly three cosmic domains and the fact that those below the Constant Source Realm Mid-Rank cannot stop them are practically invincible.

With these thirty virtual contracts as a foundation, he could easily use them to overwhelm his opponent in the first stage and achieve a swift victory.

In his view, after passing the first hurdle, he would have 100,000 Epoch of cultivation time, during which his strength would make a great leap forward.

His trial difficulty was based on the fourth level of the Eternal Source Realm. After passing the first level, the next two levels were no challenge for him at all.

But soon, after the last wisp of mist was completely absorbed, the three fully formed humanoid trial bodies silently floated in front of Lin Yi.

Their heights and builds varied; the one on the left was slender, the one in the middle was burly, and the one on the right was somewhere in between.

Although the three trial subjects had different appearances, they all presented a neutral feature without any emotional fluctuations, and their gray-white eyes were empty and deep.

They were like three precision-engineered fighting machines stripped of all emotion, leaving only their fighting instincts.

Lin Yi's gaze fell on the three figures that had completely solidified.

The three trial subjects stood side by side in the gray-white void. The one in the very center was the most robust, with arms that were nearly twice as thick as those of a normal person. The outer sides of his forearms were covered with a thick layer of bony armor. His hands were loosely clenched into fists with large knuckles. His appearance was a mixture of features from the Constant Race race and some features from the Abyss Race race.

The figure on the left was much thinner and more slender. His facial features were extremely sharp, his cheeks were sunken, and his pupils were vertically diamond-shaped. On either side of his pupils were two extremely thin, tiny dark green scales, clearly indicating that he also had the blood of some cold-blooded alien race.

The one on the right is a standard member of the Constant Race, who looks to be about the same age as him, with short, dark gray hair and eyes as black as ink, coldly staring at him.

The robust trial body's bone armor began to shimmer with dark red light spots, the slender trial body's diamond-shaped pupils were rapidly contracting, and the Constant Race trial body also began to emit grayish-white Chaos Power.

Although these three trial subjects were merely energy condensations, their combat instincts were in no way inferior to those of true cultivators.

The moment they coalesced, they simultaneously began to mobilize their Chaos Power, preparing to enter battle mode.

But in that instant, Lin Yi moved.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze had completely changed.

His originally jet-black pupils were now covered by a very thin, faint layer of crimson-gold light.

The light wasn't dazzling, but it carried a scorching, oppressive feeling that sent shivers down one's spine.

In the center of each pupil, a ring of crimson-gold lock-shaped discs appeared, spinning at high speed.

The locks were nested in a spiral pattern, with each ring's edge covered in dense, barbed lines, the ends of which all pointed to the burning, crimson-gold dragon eye phantom deep within the pupil.

The Blazing Condensation Void Pact.

The phantom of the crimson-gold dragon's eye suddenly opened deep within its pupils, and at the same time, Lin Yi's gaze locked onto the three targets directly in front of him.

Then, the crimson-gold lock wheel that was spinning rapidly in the center of the pupil suddenly trembled.

At the same time, extremely fine, crimson-gold rings appeared on the bodies of the three trial subjects who were about to launch an attack.

The locking ring tightened suddenly.

The movements of the three trial subjects suddenly stopped.

The dark green spiderweb that was being rapidly woven between the fingers of the slender trial body on the left was now being restrained by the lock ring. The half-finished threads of law lost control and tangled up in mid-air. Then, they were swept up by the crimson-gold light emanating from the lock ring and crumbled inch by inch.

The dark red lines on the arms of the muscular test subject in the middle were still throbbing wildly, trying to break free from the restraints of the rings, but the rings seemed to be ingrained in its joints, pulling its arms back a few inches with each tightening.

The ice-blue spiral that was rapidly compressing in the palm of the Constant Race trial body on the right also suddenly lost control the moment the locking ring tightened.

But the spiral did not dissipate directly; instead, it trembled violently in its palm a few times before being forcibly pushed back and swallowed back into its body.

However, Lin Yi's attack was not over yet.

He didn't give the trial subject any time to struggle at all.

Just as the Blazing Condensation Void Pact Locking Ring simultaneously imprisoned the three trial subjects, the crimson-gold dragon eye phantom deep within his pupils quietly disappeared, replaced by a Silverblue vertical pupil phantom.

The Light of Eternal Silence.

At the same moment the illusory image of the Light of Eternal Silence appeared, three beams of Silverblue light shot out from his eyes.

Wherever the Silverblue beam of light passed, everything in the void froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this critical moment, the three trial subjects did not hesitate at all and immediately made completely identical reactions.

Activate the divine seal to unleash a massive burst of power.

The divine-grade seal on the trial body on the left suddenly erupted, and countless dark green threads condensed out of thin air. The dark green threads met the Silverblue beam of light, not only blocking it, but also launching a counterattack against Lin Yi.

The robust trial body in the middle was even more direct. The divine seal it activated was a purely defensive secret technique. The fiery red patterns on its arm exploded, turning into a scorching torrent that collided with and annihilated the Light of Eternal Silence.

The Constant Race trial body on the right released the icy blue spiral that had been forcibly suppressed in its palm once again. This time, the spiral was several times larger than before, and the frost crystals brought up by the spiral's rotation collided violently with the Silverblue beam of light again.

"As expected, they knew that the burst of Saint-grade seals couldn't stop my combo attacks, so they all unleashed Divine-grade seals! The biggest threat is gone!"

Seeing that the situation was developing as he had anticipated, Lin Yi did not hesitate for a moment. A dark purple bolt of lightning exploded from the soles of his feet, and his figure suddenly blurred.

The Swift Thunder Secret Technique.

The next second, he appeared like a ghost in front of the thin trial body on the far left.

The two people's faces were almost touching.

Lin Yi was so close that he could clearly see his own cold face reflected in the pupils of the slender trial body; his nose was almost touching the other's forehead.

The slender trial body clearly hadn't expected that he would immediately press his face against the opponent's without any adjustment after using the Void Contract Burst, and instinctively retreated.

However, before it could retreat, Lin Yi's Blazing Condensation Void Pact had already landed on it.

The second layer of Blazing Condensation.

At the same time, Silverblue light shone again deep within his eyes.

The gaunt trial body let out an almost frenzied roar.

It knew it couldn't dodge this attack, and it didn't have time to deal with it slowly. So, at the same moment that Blazing Condensation completely locked it down, it detonated the burst mode of the first Saint-grade seal.

A dark yellow barrier suddenly unfolded in front of it.

The Light of Eternal Silence collided with the dark yellow barrier.

The Silverblue Annihilation Power frantically eroded the surface of the barrier. At the point where the two forces clashed, countless tiny spatial cracks spread outwards like a spider web before exploding with a deafening roar.

Using the recoil from the explosion, the emaciated trial body, combined with the burst of another sacred seal, managed to break free from Blazing Condensation's lock.

Its body shot backward, drawing an arc in the gray-white void, attempting to create distance.

Meanwhile, the other two trial subjects have also broken free from the initial Blazing Condensation Lock.

Ignoring their companions who were being summoned by Blazing Condensation and Light of Eternal Silence, they chose to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao, and launched an attack on Lin Yi at the same time.

The Constant Race trial body and the robust trial body had already unleashed their Saint-grade seals, sending out a chain of locking and control and a beam of light for attack.

But Lin Yi didn't even glance at the two attacks.

His gaze remained fixed on the gaunt trial subject who was rapidly retreating.

Then, he activated the Voidless Contract.

A bluish-gray light membrane silently spread out from Lin Yi's body.

The light membrane was extremely thin. When it spread to his body, it suddenly contracted inward, enveloping his entire body along with the dark gold armor he was wearing.

The moment that blue-gray light membrane closed, Lin Yi's body became semi-transparent.

The chain of law pierced through his body first, the dense runes on its surface passing through his ethereal form, followed by the pillar of law energy.

A thick, dark purple beam of light shot out from the palm of the slender trial body, slamming into the spot where Lin Yi stood with terrifying power capable of tearing space apart.

The beam of light pierced his chest and blasted a dark crack in the void behind him.

But his body didn't even ripple.

This is the Voidless.

When I am in a phantom state, as long as you don't exceed my limit of tolerance, you can't hit me.

Of course, the virtual version of the Voidless Void is still somewhat inferior to the true Voidless Void burst, but it is, after all, a virtual version of a top-tier divine-grade Voidless ...

Seeing that the first round of attacking Wei to relieve Zhao had failed, the two trial subjects were about to gather a second wave of attacks and bombard him again.

But Lin Yi was faster than them.

He immediately dispelled the ethereal transformation, then activated the third Blazing Condensation Void Pact, followed by the Swift Thunder, instantly catching up to the slender trial body.

Under the suppression of the Blazing Condensation Chains, the armor on the emaciated trial body had noticeably dimmed.

Now it only has one last sacred seal left.

Based on the configuration of the trial body, it is highly likely to be one attack, one defense, one movement, and one support/amplification. If its configuration is the same as most trial bodies, then this last seal is most likely to be a support/amplification type.

"Die!"

A fourth Silverblue light shone in Lin Yi's eyes.

The gaunt trial body let out an extremely sharp screech.

It detonated the last sacred seal.

As expected, dark green patterns spread upwards from its feet, enveloping its entire body, attempting to break free from Blazing Condensation's lock at the last moment.

But it was too late.

The amplification seal caused its body to bulge outward by less than three inches.

Silverblue light then penetrated its chest.

Before the Annihilation Power of the Light of Eternal Silence, the emaciated trial body instantly shattered into countless translucent ice crystal fragments.

The ice crystal fragments did not scatter, but continued to disintegrate into finer ice dust in the void. The ice dust then disintegrated into ice mist, eventually dissipating completely into the Silverblue afterglow of the Light of Eternal Silence.

The first one.

Lin Yi didn't even glance at the void left after the trial body dissipated.

He turned his head abruptly.

Those eyes, still gleaming with a subtle interplay of Silverblue and crimson-gold light, locked onto the remaining two trial subjects.

Constant Island, the Central Plaza of the inner island.

One hundred light screens floated above the plaza, each displaying a real-time video of a trial participant in the first stage of the Eternal Source Ring.

The backgrounds of all those images were exactly the same: an endless void interwoven with pale gray and silver-white.

Every trial participant in the scene faces the same opponent: three trial subjects of the same level.

But the content on the screen is completely different.

On the light screen where the Nine Perfections were located, E Lan was using extremely exquisite footwork to leave one after another bluish-gray afterimage in the void. Each dodge barely grazed the edge of the Trial Body's attack, while the bluish-gray wind blades he condensed in his hand poured out like a torrential rain.

But this was just a test.

He was testing the reaction speed, attack habits, and teamwork of these trial subjects.

You Na, however, made a completely different choice on another screen.

She directly withstood the first wave of explosive attacks from the three trial subjects, bracing herself against the pair of dark red furnace horns and surrounded by six rapidly rotating magma shields.

She stood there motionless, her Amber eyes coldly surveying her three opponents who were attacking her through the scorching runes of law above her head, a smile devoid of any warmth playing on her lips.

"That's it? Give me another one."

On the other light screens, the trial participants at the High Order of the Eternal Source Realm were also cautiously beginning their first round of probing exchanges in their respective challenges.

Some were testing their reactions by launching a few attacks from a distance, some were rapidly moving and shifting formations to observe coordination, and some were building defensive arrays to ensure their own safety first.

These are all standard coping strategies.

These are the safest ways to start.

This is the most correct approach.

When facing three opponents of similar skill level, without knowing their specific seal configurations and tactical styles, first try to ascertain their strengths and weaknesses with minimal cost, and then look for an opportunity to strike decisively.

Only Lin Yi.

From the moment the three trial bodies were formed, the accelerator was floored.

Did you count them?

Finally, someone in the crowd broke the silence.

The speaker was a High Order of the Eternal Source Realm, dressed in a dark gray scale armor battle robe.

"I've counted them."

It was Luo Sen answered.

He stood on the north side of the square, near the middle, with his arms crossed over his chest, his eyes fixed on the light screen where Lin Yi was located at the front.

"Judging from its power, it consists of eleven illusory seals," Luo Sen said in a deep voice.

Luo Sen considered himself a well-traveled and experienced man, having spent so many years navigating the inner islands; what kind of big scenes hadn't he seen?

Even so, when he saw Lin Yi throw out a feint with his first move, he still felt a chill run down his spine.

"Eleven virtual contracts..."

A female student at the initial stage of the Eternal Source Realm subconsciously repeated the number, then muttered softly, "This way we can kill one quickly, but his number of Void Contracts should be almost used up, right? What about the other two Trial Bodies?"

A male mid-level student standing diagonally behind her frowned upon hearing this, then nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, although Lin Yi is indeed a top-tier genius in both subjects, the Void Contract Manual is also widely recognized as extremely difficult to master."

Upon hearing this, several people around him immediately showed expressions of deep agreement.

Although they couldn't compare to the top geniuses who stood at the front of the square observing, they were still official students of Inner Island of Constant Island, and no one understood the difficulty of cultivating the Void Contract Secret Manual better than them.

"Maybe he still has a number of virtual contracts?"

Someone muttered something under their breath in the crowd.

Upon hearing this, the male mid-level student who had just echoed turned his head, glanced in the direction from which the voice came, and then scoffed, "Are you kidding me? Although Lin Yi has exceptional talent, he also has to spend time extracting his essence blood to condense the seal, plus he has to delve into the study of inscription. With all three of these combined, where would he find the time to further refine the Void Contract Secret Manual?"

He paused, then said in a tone he considered very fair, "Although I don't know what kind of Void Contract Secret Manual he's cultivating, fifteen Void Contracts are about right. He used eleven of them in one go just now, so if he only has three or four left, it's indeed a bit risky for him to fight two Trial Bodies."

His analysis was very logical and reasonable, and many people around him nodded slightly in agreement.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a cold voice came from the front of the crowd.

"Heh, you yourself can only condense sixteen, so you're saying Brother Lin Yi can only condense fifteen?"

The owner of the voice turned around, and it was He Mingyu.

This Eternal Source Realm disciple of the He Family was leaning against the edge of the slightly protruding crystal platform, one hand casually resting on the side of the betting screen, while the other hand held a jade folding fan that he had pulled out from somewhere, which he was playing with idly.

"Don't judge that level of genius by your own standards. Heh, ranking him thirteenth is already a very conservative estimate."

Upon hearing He Mingyu's words, the male intermediate-level student immediately wanted to retort, but swallowed his words back.

Although the He Family is not very prestigious, He Mingyu himself has extensive connections in the high-level student circle. He was the one who set up that betting operation, so there's no need to offend them over such a verbal dispute.

"Ha, wait until the results are in, and the facts will prove you wrong."

He thought to himself.

While the crowd in Constant Island Square was buzzing with discussion, Lin Yi was already wrapping things up inside the trial space.

In his view, the other two trials did not require careful analysis at all.

The Divine-grade seals had already been used to defend against the first wave of illusory seal attacks. Just now, in order to support the trial body on the far left, they each used an additional Holy-grade seal.

"Get them sorted out."

Lin Yi silently recited a sentence in his heart.

Then he moved.

The Swift Thunder Secret Technique was activated again, and dark purple lightning exploded from the soles of his feet.

This time, instead of taking a detour or going around to the rear, he charged straight out from the front, shooting directly towards the burly, robust trial body in the middle in a straight, almost ruthless path.

At the same time, a very faint blue-gray halo suddenly appeared around Lin Yi.

Voidless empty contracts or deeds.

The robust trial body in the middle let out a low roar as Lin Yi charged straight at it. Its burly body sank slightly, lowering its center of gravity, and then it crossed its arms to protect its chest. At this moment, the dark red law patterns on the surface of its Arm Armor suddenly burst forth with a scorching light that was hot enough to distort the void.

At the same time, the Constant Race trial body on the right also made its move without hesitation.

Two icy blue spiral orbs of light shot out simultaneously from its palm, the spirals crisscrossing in the air with extremely strange trajectories, blocking Lin Yi's flanks and cutting off his escape space.

The trial body in the middle also activated its illusory contract, and a dark red shield appeared out of thin air. The surface of the shield was covered with scorching patterns like magma, which firmly protected its body.

The two trial subjects displayed an extremely tacit cooperation at this moment.

This strategy works fine in normal matches.

The only problem is that they are facing Voidless.

The spiraling ball of light, carrying an extremely cold wave that seemed to freeze the void, simultaneously struck Lin Yi from both sides.

The two spirals suddenly exploded as they approached Lin Yi, the shattered frost laws transforming into two enormous ice-blue vortexes that completely sealed off all of Lin Yi's evasive space in all directions.

Then, the two icy blue vortexes suddenly closed together.

That void was frozen into a huge ice-blue crystal block. The surface of the crystal was covered with densely packed law-sealing patterns. Any Eternal Source Realm cultivator trapped in it would have to put in considerable effort to escape.

But Lin Yi didn't stop at all and passed directly through the ice-blue crystal block.

Then, they appeared directly in front of the target.

The robust trial body reacted incredibly quickly. Almost instinctively, it activated the full power of the dark red shield phantom contract. The magma patterns on the shield's surface suddenly expanded, transforming into a scorching wave of law that crashed towards Lin Yi.

At the same time, he retreated rapidly.

But Lin Yi acted even faster.

The moment his Incarnation passed through the shield, the crimson-gold dragon eye phantom deep within his eyes suddenly opened.

Blazing Condensation.

Then comes the Light of Eternal Silence.

The beam of light pierced precisely through the gap in the crimson-gold lock ring.

freeze.

Disintegration.

dissipate.

Second kill.

Lin Yi didn't even glance at the trial body that was turning into scattered ice crystal fragments. He turned his head directly, and his eyes, which were glowing with a faint light of Silverblue and crimson-gold, fell on the last Constant Race trial body.

Then, he activated his ethereal form and, despite the smoke-filled but unharmed attack, appeared before the Constant Race trial body.

The Blazing Condensation Void Pact is locked.

The Light of Eternal Silence burst forth upon close proximity.

Triple kill.

As the last trial body dissipated into ice crystal fragments in the void, Lin Yi let out a long breath. The blue-gray aura of Voidless emptiness around him quietly disappeared, and the dragon pupil phantom deep in his eyes slowly faded away, revealing his pitch-black pupils once again.

He stretched his shoulders and muttered something to himself.

"Done."

As soon as he finished speaking, the trial space around him suddenly trembled.

Immediately afterwards, a gray-white beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping his entire body.

The Space Law within the pillar of light began to operate in an extremely subtle way. Lin Yi only felt a slight blur before his eyes, and the surrounding scenery changed from that gray-white void to a completely new area.

Repair area.

This is an independent space created by the Eternal Source Ring for those who have completed the trials. Each trial participant has their own dedicated rest area, and they will not interfere with each other.

As for the light screen where Lin Yi was located, it suddenly dimmed at the same moment the gray-white light pillar fell, turning back into a very pale gray-white background.

The Central Plaza the Inner Island of Constant Island.

The entire room fell silent.

From the moment Lin Yi killed the first trial subject to the moment he achieved a triple kill, and then the light curtain went dark, the whole process, though seemingly long, was actually only a short moment.

How close is it?

As they approached the ninety-nine light screens beside them, E Lan was still using his bluish-gray afterimages to maintain formation, You Na was still enduring damage from the Furnace's special angles to test her limits, Tai Huan had just blasted the second trial body away, and most of the trial participants at the High Order of the Eternal Source Realm were still in the first round of probing attacks.

But Lin Yi's light screen had already gone dark.

The deathly silence lasted for more than ten hours.

Then, from the crowd in the northwest corner of the square, someone murmured something under their breath.

"What kind of fighting style is this? More than twenty virtual seals were thrown at you in a row... This is... too brutal."

This sentence was like flipping a switch, and the entire square suddenly erupted in chaos.
