The three-day deadline had not yet arrived, but the God of Evil had already descended in person before Tang San and the others.
Tang San stepped forward first, leveling the Sea God Trident at him.
"Attacking the innocent is not what a god should do. God of Evil, you had better think this through before you make your move."
"Enough talk."
The God of Evil sneered coldly, shaking his head as he released his evil martial soul, the Magic Mirror Beast.
"You lot will leave your lives here today. Don't think you have any chance of escaping this; since I have come, there must be a result."
"Flying Dragon in the Sky!"
Seeing a flash of light, the God of Evil quickly shielded himself with both hands, but to his surprise, this soul skill contained the power of three different martial souls. Even with the Magic Mirror Beast's ability, which was among the best in the world, he was still sent flying.
"How is this possible?"
Watching Lin Yi stand before him, calm and composed, the God of Evil's eyes were filled with utter astonishment.
"Impossible. You are only a first-tier god; how could you achieve such a thing? Tell me, what did you do?"
"What could I possibly have done?"
Lin Yi chuckled at this, his expression turning profound once more.
He walked forward slowly, releasing his martial soul fusion skill.
"Flying Sand and Moving Stones!"
As the power of the golden dragon merged with that of the Angel God, the attack power increased a hundredfold.
The God of Evil laughed, though a hint of excitement flickered in his eyes.
"Interesting. You really are extraordinary, kid. Since you insist on fighting me, then I shall unleash my full power! Fifth soul skill, Death Strike!"
In an instant, thousands of venomous snakes converged and lunged at Lin Yi.
Tang San tried to intervene, but Lin Yi blocked him with his hand and charged forward himself.
"Sixth soul skill, God's Roar!"
As the angel's wings flapped, Lin Yi spun like a golden tornado, scattering the venomous snakes while his sharp edge sliced directly through the God of Evil's arm.
The sight left Tang San and the others stunned.
The God of Evil was, after all, the second-greatest ancient god; that he had been severely wounded by Lin Yi was truly hard to believe.
It seemed that if a martial soul fusion skill was triggered by a single person, its effect was indeed unprecedentedly powerful.
"You damn bastard!"
The God of Evil clutched his wound, roaring in fury as the blood-red hue in his eyes deepened.
"How dare you wound me?"
"What is there to be afraid of in wounding you?"
Lin Yi shook his head again, humming.
"I tell you, wounding you is just a small matter. If you insist on staying here to attack innocent people, I will kill as many of you as come."
"Such arrogance."
The God of Evil swept his gaze over, showing no fear; instead, he revealed a cold smile.
"Lin Yi, you are indeed a powerful opponent, but do you think you can escape the judgment of fate? Seventh soul skill, Shackles of Fate!"
Watching the black chains fly toward him, Lin Yi remained unhurried.
"Sixth soul skill, God's Destiny!"
As the golden Dragon King and the angel condensed into a massive golden fireball, the God of Evil's power was suddenly forcibly torn apart.
The black chains were shattered one by one, and the God of Evil himself spat out a mouthful of blood, sent flying by the impact. The fireball rose slowly into the sky, continuously transforming into a massive current of air. Even Tang San could only use the power of the Sea God to shield those without strong martial soul power.
The God of Evil felt fear.
Even he feared death, but thinking that returning meant being killed by the God of Destruction, he gritted his teeth and charged at Lin Yi once more.
"You brought this upon yourself."
Lin Yi closed his eyes and released his soul skill again.
"Fifth and sixth combo, Cry of Life and Death!"
"What?"
The God of Evil was puzzled, but as he saw Lin Yi fuse his fifth and sixth soul skills together and thrust toward him, it was too late to dodge. His chest was pierced by the giant dragon's claws, and at the same time, the angel's power pulled him out of the darkness.
"Such warm sunlight."
At the brink of life and death, the God of Evil sighed with genuine feeling before quickly falling into an eternal slumber.
The battle ended quickly. Lin Yi landed slowly and turned to look at Tang San.
"Third Brother, this is my latest power. Are you satisfied with it?"
"It is indeed quite impressive."
Even though Tang San had seen many powerful forces, none were as unique as this.
He nodded gently. "It seems you have finished your training. Now, to deal with the God of Destruction, you must have other methods as well, right?"
"That's right."
Lin Yi smiled again. "Martial soul skills are much the same as martial soul fusion skills. There are abilities of his that I cannot overcome, but if I condense all my power into one point, victory is not out of the question."
