The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 885 - 391: The Great Battle (Two-in-One - )
Feeling the surging Divine Power within him, Lin Yun knew he finally possessed the ability to confront Tai Bai.
Using schemes against Tai Bai could only bring temporary peace; to settle this matter, he had to engage in a life-or-death battle.
This battle was inevitable, and Lin Yun could only do his best.
Seeing that Tai Bai was also willing to reveal his hand, Lin Yun calmly said, "Show me what you’ve got now. I’d like to learn a few moves from you."
With that said, Lin Yun also stepped out from the sun.
Hiding in the sun naturally put him in an invincible position, but being invincible did not equate to victory.
Only by coming out to confront Tai Bai could he possibly find a way to win.
Of course, Lin Yun did not intend to fight to the death. Rather, as soon as Tai Bai appeared, Lin Yun knew his chances of winning were greater, or else the future could hold an advantage, otherwise, Tai Bai wouldn’t have rushed over so desperately seeking trouble.
Thus, Lin Yun had made up his mind that this battle was merely to test Tai Bai’s capabilities. If there were any danger, he would naturally return to the sun as soon as possible.
Tai Bai also realized Lin Yun’s difficulty and held nothing back, snorting coldly, "Don’t think you’re the only one supported by the will of all beings and protected by the Heavenly Dao. I have it too! Tai Bai, resume your position!"
Following the command of the Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor, the body of Tai Bai Divine Emperor, who was discussing emerging opportunities with the other three Divine Emperors in Desolate Ruins, suddenly stiffened.
In an instant, she understood her past and present lives; she was both the Tai Bai Divine Emperor and Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor!
"What’s wrong, Tai Bai?"
Canglan noticed Tai Bai’s unusual condition and asked with concern.
Tai Bai replied calmly, "Nothing, I just sensed something. Now is the best time for our return."
As long as the Divine Realm’s Deities return, the Heavenly Dao would inevitably be overwhelmed and unable to assist Lin Yun anymore, which would weaken Lin Yun. Moreover, she could also transfer the absorbed Power of Fate to Tai Bai, exacerbating Lin Yun’s difficult situation.
Lin Yun was unaware of what Tai Bai had done; he simply swung his sword.
His main practice of the art of killing was the Sword Dao, and since Tai Bai was associated with Gold, it was also the Sword Dao for her.
Both concentrated their respective elements, one fire and the other Gengjin’s Qi, into swords. It was not only a contest of Sword Dao but also a clash of their respective Great Dao.
However...
Fire overcomes Gold.
After their swords collided several times, Lin Yun’s Fire Sword remained intact, while Tai Bai’s Gold Sword slowly melted.
Tai Bai realized she could not fight Lin Yun with her weakness against his strength; it would be futile.
She concentrated the three primordial essences: Wood, Earth, and Gold, whereas Lin Yun at best fused Water and Fire.
Water and Fire naturally do not mix, unlike her situation where the Innate Earth mediates, allowing compatibility with everything.
Previously, she had acquired the Origin of Wood but dared not easily integrate it, as Gold overcomes Wood. The two could merge but would constantly conflict.
However, with the presence of Innate Earth, it was different. Earth produces Gold, also embraces Wood, Wood regenerates Fire, and Gold regenerates Water. Thus, the Five Elements could be harmoniously integrated, achieving the supreme Innate Chaotic Divine Spirit.
Thus, acquiring the Innate Soil was the most critical step; those who possess the Earth can achieve greatness.
Now Lin Yun has fused Water and Fire, which naturally do not integrate and would only cause backlash like her previous fusion of Gold and Wood if suppressed for too long.
So, Tai Bai was quite confident.
If she couldn’t win the sword fight now, they would switch to magical combat.
Since the Power of Gold could not restrain Lin Yun, she would use the Power of Earth.
"Innate Earth, suppress!"
Tai Bai made a gesture, and suddenly, a mountain appeared in the starry sky, pressing down towards Lin Yun, while the earth also rose beneath Lin Yun’s feet, as if trying to devour him.
One devoured, the other oppressed, facing this situation, Lin Yun had an epiphany.
Innate Fire burns everything.
No matter what comes, there is only one word, burn!
As long as my fire is big enough, whatever you are, I’ll burn you up!
At this moment, Lin Yun also realized the true essence of fire.
Fierce flames erupted from the small sun within his Dantian, spreading rapidly around Lin Yun, who became the center.
At that moment, Lin Yun himself turned into a sun.
Wherever the flames reached, the layers of space shattered, and even the void was ignited, evidently mimicking Twisted Space.
Under such powerful flames, the so-called Innate Soil turned into ashes.
Tai Bai couldn’t help but clench her fist, unleashing Innate Vines, which merely added fuel for Lin Yun, then cast the purest Gengjin Sword Qi, which couldn’t even get close to Lin Yun before being completely burned.
Merely contending with the power of origin, she couldn’t do anything to Lin Yun.
"Damn it! I should have won! My Divine Power is stronger!"
Tai Bai couldn’t understand why Lin Yun, with only two types of origin power, and hers three, neither fully integrated, could push her into a corner with just one fire attack.
"We agreed that I have the potential of a Heavenly Emperor, why prevent me time and again!"
Tai Bai was on the verge of losing control, Lin Yun saw her panic, and he calmed down.
"Having the potential of a Heavenly Emperor doesn’t necessarily make you one, Tai Bai. You’re profit-oriented, unscrupulous, naturally not winning people’s hearts, how can you succeed."
Gaining the upper hand, of course, the first thing to do was to attack Tai Bai’s morale from a moral high ground, ensuring her mental breakdown.
"Turn back now, it’s still not too late."
Lin Yun said this, but in his heart, he had already condemned Tai Bai to death.
Ever since Tai Bai threatened him using his lover, Lin Yun had contemplated this, but he wasn’t yet certain he could kill Tai Bai, so naturally, he thought to fool her first.
He knew he wasn’t at his strongest yet; the reason he could suppress Tai Bai was because she wasn’t at her strongest state either, and had not fully utilized her power. He had the advantage of elemental restraint, if Tai Bai were to realize this and not use elements to fight but directly confront with her most essential power, he might not be her match.
Therefore, when you have the upper hand, try to persuade her to surrender, rather than fight to a critical juncture, never knowing who might get killed by whom.
Lin Yun was clear about this, but his words instead provoked Tai Bai.
"Profit-oriented, unscrupulous... Is this how you see me? If so, why do you continuously ask me to turn back?"
Tai Bai’s eyes gleamed with a cold light, after a few seconds of eye contact with Lin Yun, she suddenly sneered: "I understand now, you really don’t care whether I turn back or not, you just want to kill me."
Lin Yun: "..."
Well, true enough, he couldn’t fool this woman with his ruse; although he tried hard to disguise it, Tai Bai still saw through his true intentions.
However, Lin Yun had thick skin, even though Tai Bai pointed out his murderous intent, he didn’t show any signs of embarrassment or remorse.
But, Lin Yun overlooked one thing.
He had once pretended to have regained his memory in front of Tai Bai, in her eyes, he wasn’t just Lin Yun, but also the resurrected Ancestor of the Fire Spirit.
Seeing the decisive murderous intent in Lin Yun’s eyes, Tai Bai’s gaze also turned completely cold.
"If you want to kill me, then come! I will not hold back anymore!"
Lin Yun: "..."
He seemed to have flipped a switch, and now the aura of Tai Bai was completely different.
Previously, she was already formidable, but it was only with comparison that Lin Yun realized, the previous Tai Bai was like a sheathed sword, and after his persuasion, the sword was unsheathed.
Of course, it was not entirely due to persuasion, but because she noticed her own murderous intent.
At this point, there was nothing else to say, it was simply a fight to the death!
Lin Yun simply stopped talking nonsense, nor did he use sword techniques, but directly used fire to prepare to burn Tai Bai.
Using the sword technique was purely for fun; it couldn’t injure Tai Bai in the slightest.
With a casual gesture, Lin Yun released two fire dragons, which roared with a sky-swallowing might.
Tai Bai was not outdone; the longsword in her hand condensed again, and several flashes of sword light sliced Lin Yun’s fire dragons into several segments, which then slowly dissipated.
Tai Bai seemed to have temporarily abandoned using the other two origins in her body, completely unleashing her Gold Origin like Lin Yun, who up to now, had only used fire against his enemy.
So, what was the use of all those fancy tricks in the end? It still came down to relying on one’s innate element.
Lin Yun chose not to close in on Tai Bai, but continuously unleashed his flames from a distance, bombing Tai Bai, while constantly dodging and maneuvering; Tai Bai, on the other hand, wielded the sword aiming for close combat, trying to play to her strengths.
The locale of their battle shifted again and again, gradually moving away from the Twisted Space near the sun, entering deeper into the Outer Realm.
"Die!"
Tai Bai shouted fiercely, the sword in her hands suddenly emitted dazzling golden light, striking forth an arc-shaped ripple; Lin Yun felt an immense threat. Despite the saying that fire overpowers gold, now it was Tai Bai, using only her Gold Origin, who had the upper hand over Lin Yun.
That sword strike brought an overwhelming Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi, which was initially just a line from Tai Bai’s swing, swiftly expanded into a plane, leaving Lin Yun with no place to escape.
With no place to dodge, the only option left was to confront it head-on.
Tai Bai thought he did not dare to get close, but it wasn’t that he truly lacked close-range tactics.
Now was the moment!
Lin Yun’s body was engulfed in flames, transforming into a sword himself, charging right into the Sword Qi that Tai Bai had slashed out.
Tai Bai’s Sword Qi formed a plane, while Lin Yun’s sword was a point. The point shattered the plane in an instant, bringing him right before Tai Bai’s eyes.
Tai Bai’s Sword Qi still continued towards the back; a small star hit by the Sword Qi was even split into two halves.
Truly terrifying!
But the sword strike from Tai Bai did not come without a cost; when Lin Yun abruptly closed in on her, she was too slow to react. As she was about to raise her hand to counterattack, Lin Yun tightly embraced her.
Embrace the sister and commence the kill!
Lin Yun held Tai Bai in his embrace, with no trace of romance, only a heart full of killing intent.
A hand-to-hand confrontation was dangerous for him as a Fire Mage, especially since Tai Bai was a melee warrior.
Nonetheless, Lin Yun had found his opportunity and naturally would not let her go.
He intended to burn Tai Bai completely!
Under the surge of fierce flames, Tai Bai’s clothing instantly turned to flying ashes, but her body was highly heat-resistant and not so easily burned.
As her clothes turned to ash, Tai Bai stood bare in front of Lin Yun.
"Let go of me!"
From Tai Bai’s eyes, two cold gleams shot out; Lin Yun dodged swiftly but still received a slash across his face, the wound not showing signs of healing and slowly dripping blood.
This woman was more dangerous than he had imagined. Lin Yun took the opportunity to move behind Tai Bai; one arm wrapped around her chest and the other around her abdomen, his legs tightly ensnaring Tai Bai’s, securing her entirely in his embrace.
Tai Bai never thought their battle would escalate to such an intense and heated degree, making her feel extremely uncomfortable in the fiery and intense combat.
She struggled fiercely, shouting angrily: "Let go of me!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
In such grinding and chaffing, Lin Yun suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
In the extreme temperature, no matter what treasures their clothes were made of, they couldn’t withstand Lin Yun’s fire, so now, it was flesh against flesh, and Tai Bai’s skin was quite tender and smooth. Rubbing against each other like this, even though Lin Yun’s heart was full of murderous intent, his body reacted on its own.
And Tai Bai was no fool; feeling Lin Yun’s reactions, she quickly realized something, turning even more embarrassed.
"Let go of me! Ah!"
This was the consequence of moving disorderally; inadvertently touching something she shouldn’t, Tai Bai’s body shuddered, feeling almost unable to maintain her fighting spirit.
Lin Yun said in a low voice, "Don’t move haphazardly!"
Heaven and earth bear witness, he genuinely did not intentionally take advantage of Tai Bai.
This woman, é"/>who wanted to use his wife as a threat against him, was doomed not to get along with him.
Lin Yun hadn’t expected such a situation when he initially attacked Tai Bai.
"Let go of me."
"Not letting go, I want to burn you."
Tai Bai: "..."
Intending to burn me, yet not allowing me to struggle?
Have you no sense of martial ethics at all?
Struggle all you want, Lin Yun, you rogue, who knows what might happen by accident...
Thinking of such an outcome, Tai Bai’s entire body blushed harshly.
Half was from being burned, and half was from the embarrassing thoughts.
"You won’t burn me to death. Haven’t you heard that true gold isn’t afraid of being tempered by fire?"
Tai Bai said staunchly, though Lin Yun completely disbelieved her.
Since you can’t break free, don’t expect me to let you go.
Worst case it’s just a standoff; anyway, I’m not in a hurry.
Lin Yun held Tai Bai tighter, knowing she could not just sit and wait for death if he continued to burn her like this.
She dared not move from the waist down, but her neck was still mobile; her hair lashed out, ready to transform into blades, when Lin Yun unexpectedly said, "If you dare use your hair as a weapon, I’ll burn it first."
Tai Bai: "..."
Her hair was very heat-resistant, but if Lin Yun focused the fire to burn her hair, she couldn’t handle it.
Imagining herself bald, Tai Bai finally gave in; her hair softened, and she turned her neck, attempting to bite Lin Yun. A three-hundred-sixty-degree twist scared Lin Yun almost to the point of letting go, but remembering that this was just the usual technique for gods, he held on, only instinctively ducking lower, and quickly tightened his hold on Tai Bai.
It was this moment when Tai Bai let out a stifled moan, her body stiffening on the spot, her neck’s three-hundred-sixty-degree rotation returning to its original position, and her body going rigid.
Lin Yun was also stunned.
Ah, this...
I seem to have inadvertently done something terrible...
