Chapter 1292

These masters of the Dao were also quite decisive.

After the first master of the Dao attacked, the other two nearly simultaneously followed suit.

Clearly, they had all analyzed the situation and agreed: this was the perfect moment to strike!

Though slightly risky, if they didn't take this risk, they might never become Supreme Deities!

The temptation of becoming a Supreme Deity was there, and according to their analysis, Lin Yan had likely expended tremendous energy—these factors combined finally led them to decide on a gamble!

Attempting to ascend to Supreme Deity is inherently extremely risky!

They had lain hidden in the Heavenly Realm for countless years, merely waiting for an opportunity.

Now, the opportunity had arrived, and these three masters of the Dao hesitated no longer!

And as these three masters of the Dao struck, a faint shadow silently approached Lin Yan.

"You've managed to kill a Five-Star Ancient God—some skill indeed. But your strength must be nearly spent, right? Last time, you destroyed my avatar; this time, I'll take your soul and reforged it into another avatar of mine."

The faint shadow emitted an evil voice.

This shadow was none other than the Evil God whose avatar Lin Yan had slain last time!

And this Evil God had actually come to the Heavenly Realm in his true form this time.

How could an Evil God dare such boldness?

Without the tacit approval of a Supreme Deity, this Evil God could never have come here.

In fact, even if a powerful Abyss Demon God now came to attack Lin Yan, the Supreme Deities likely wouldn't intervene at all.

Even if some Supreme Deities supported Lin Yan's attempt to ascend, the mutual restraints among the major Supreme Deities meant non-interference was the ultimate boundary.

All the Supreme Deities would likely choose to stand by and watch the outcome unfold.

That's why this Evil God was so arrogant.

The three masters of the Dao attacked Lin Yan from three directions.

Behind these three masters of the Dao lurked another Evil God waiting to be the opportunistic bird!

Perhaps feeling certain of victory, the Evil God transformed into a massive shadow and lunged at Lin Yan.

In an instant, the battlefield, which had just calmed, erupted once more!

But…

"Swoosh!"

With a brilliant flash of swordlight, this surge of chaos was instantly crushed down by Lin Yan!

"Ahh~"

The master of the Dao who had chosen to gamble screamed, his eyes filled with deep terror.

Immediately after, Lin Yan cleaved his body in two with a single sword stroke.

"Boom!"

Flames engulfed him, burning him to ashes.

"You… your strength…?"

In his final moments, this master of the Dao was filled with endless regret and profound confusion.

He regretted not staying back—but what puzzled him most was how Lin Yan, after fighting five masters of the Dao and one Five-Star Ancient God, still possessed such terrifying power?

Unfortunately, he would never know.

The moment he chose to strike, his fate was already sealed.

Lin Yan never showed mercy to his enemies.

For mercy toward an enemy is cruelty toward oneself!

"I… damn!"

The Evil God had not yet reached Lin Yan when he saw the fate of the three attacking masters of the Dao.

"So damn perverted!"

This Evil God was also a ruthless one; seeing Lin Yan still so powerful, he didn't retreat—instead, he charged forward again with full force.

"I don't believe your soul is stronger than mine!"

The Evil God went all out.

Last time, he had clashed with Lin Yan on the soul level and had felt Lin Yan's soul strength.

Lin Yan's soul was extraordinarily terrifying.

Last time, it had utterly crushed his avatar's soul.

But in his view, his true body could certainly defeat Lin Yan.

And his life form was exceptionally unique—not a physical body, but a soul-body.

That's why, even after the three masters of the Dao behind him perished, he still chose to fight Lin Yan to the death.

With the speed of a soul, he was instantly at Lin Yan's side, then lunged straight into Lin Yan's mind.

He intended to battle Lin Yan on the soul level.

To his surprise, Lin Yan offered almost no defense.

"So arrogant—you're finished."

The Evil God laughed loudly.

Then…

He was doomed!

Because since their last clash, Lin Yan had advanced two full levels—his soul strength now exceeded all imagination.

"Aaaah! Your… your soul…"

The Evil God was frozen in horror.

Then, he became Lin Yan's evolution point entirely!

Thus, the four "bluejays" who had prepared to seize the once-in-a-billion opportunity and deliver a fatal blow to Lin Yan were all caught in one net.

After burning these four, combined with the surplus evolution points from the Five-Star Ancient God, Lin Yan actually leveled up again.

Among these, the evolution points from the Five-Star Ancient God were by far the largest.

In addition, the final-appearing Evil God was an unexpected gain.

The evolution points from burning the Evil God were even more than those of the Lord of the Seven Seas and the Flame Sovereign!

Now, Lin Yan reached the Third Rank of the Final Flame.

Lin Yan's ruse of attempting to break through to the Main God, designed to lure out the enemy, achieved great success.

From the beginning until now, a large number of potential enemies had been lured out.

He leapt directly from Level 10 of the Third Stage of the Infinite Flame to the Third Rank of the Final Flame — equivalent to four full levels!

This harvest was enormous!
