Chapter 104: Strength Suppression

Ye Lin's heart shook violently!

It made sense!

All the logic made sense!

There is no such thing as kindness without reason in the world. The profession of Astrologer can peek into the secrets of heaven. With Student Zhuge Qianxing's power, he could even see a corner of the future. Such a powerful profession would naturally suffer backlash, and if one possessed an Undying Body, the backlash brought by peeking into the future could be ignored!

If Student Zhuge Qianxing wanted to scheme for his Undying Body, then all of Student Zhuge Qianxing's previous inexplicable behaviors—wanting to take him as an apprentice, giving him the Ancient Key of Apocalypse, etc. —could all be explained!

Perhaps the Ancient Key of Apocalypse had to be in his hands to find this Eternal Balance!

That sense of familiarity engraved deep in his soul couldn't be faked. This Eternal Balance definitely had an inseparable relationship with him.

Perhaps from the very moment he began his job-change ceremony, Student Zhuge Qianxing had already begun to scheme against him. With the terror of an Astrologer, it was entirely possible!

Even now, everything he was doing was still within Student Zhuge Qianxing's calculations.

A deep sense of fear rose in Ye Lin's heart. Being an enemy of such a person would definitely make anyone restless.

"You talk too much."

"Star Blade."

Student Zhuge Qianxing raised a slender finger and pointed at the flesh ball. Countless sharp swords condensed from starlight appeared out of thin air, dense and packed, filling the entire sky.

These sharp swords exuded a cold and dangerous aura, instantly piercing through that flesh ball, turning it into a sea urchin, with fishy, foul-smelling pus continuously overflowing from its wounds.

That smell was like taking a pair of socks from a foot-odor patient who hadn't washed them for two months, stuffing them with durian and stinky tofu, and then putting them in a microwave to heat up.

The flesh ball writhed violently, as if it were about to explode directly the next moment.

"Ye Lin, take the Eternal Balance, run quickly!"

As soon as the words fell, that flesh ball was completely shredded by the sharp blades transformed from starlight, not even leaving a tiny bit of flesh and blood, as if it had never existed at all.

And the Eternal Balance transformed into a stream of light, flying toward Ye Lin at an extremely fast speed.

Ye Lin raised his hand, wanting to grab the Eternal Balance, while secretly accumulating power, preparing to cast a forbidden spell.

As long as he could get the Eternal Balance, he would immediately use Space Leap to escape. With his Undying Body, he could completely perform continuous Space Leaps to teleport. No matter how terrifying Student Zhuge Qianxing was, he couldn't possibly catch up to him in a short time.

But just at the moment his hand touched the Eternal Balance, the familiar starlight appeared again. Ye Lin's outstretched hand was directly annihilated. Student Zhuge Qianxing's power was too terrifying.

Ye Lin gritted his teeth, and with a thought, his severed arm regenerated rapidly.

"Forbidden Spell - Burning Reincarnation!"

Blood flames ignited on his body. At the same time, Ye Lin raised his staff and cast a Fireball spell at Student Zhuge Qianxing.

The Great Sumeru Ring had already been refined to three stars by him, and the mental power bonus had reached a terrifying 160%. Plus, the Red Flame Staff already had a 50% power bonus for fire-type spells. A Fireball spell cast with all his might by Ye Lin in the Burning Reincarnation state, after being sublimated into a forbidden spell, had power that could even make level 60 job-changers change color.

A red-gold sun smashed toward Student Zhuge Qianxing. The scorching high temperature caused the surrounding houses to evaporate instantly.

However, facing such a terrifying blow, Student Zhuge Qianxing remained calm.

"Ye Lin, no matter how strong a Forbidden Spell Master is when combined with an Undying Body, you are only level 25. Don't make futile struggles."

Student Zhuge Qianxing said faintly, then raised his hand, and the starlight shone, directly annihilating the red-gold sun.

Ye Lin naturally wouldn't sit and wait for death as Student Zhuge Qianxing said. To attack the enemy is to save oneself; he had to attack until Student Zhuge Qianxing had no time to attend to him, only then would he have a chance to get the Eternal Balance and escape.

"Fireball!"

"Flame Impact!"

"Fire Wall!"

"Illumination!"

"Flame Jet!"

"Fire Rain Descent!"

One basic fire-type skill after another was released by Ye Lin as if he didn't want his life. Under the blessing of Ultimate Sublimation, they all turned into forbidden spells!

The surrounding air seemed to be ignited instantly. Scorching flames raged wildly around Ye Lin, turning the surrounding houses and streets into a sea of fire.

Every fire-type skill was as terrifying as divine punishment. Countless flames swept out, turning everything around Student Zhuge Qianxing into ashes.

Under the bombardment of one forbidden spell after another, even if a level 60 job-changer came, they would be scared pale.

But in the sea of fire, Student Zhuge Qianxing's figure was faintly visible, as if the high temperature around him that was sufficient to melt steel had no effect on him.

"Ye Lin, don't you understand yet? In the face of absolute strength, struggling is useless."

"Star Imprisonment!"

Student Zhuge Qianxing gave a light shout, and the starlight converged together, forming an eerie cube!

It rose slowly from the sea of fire, and the high temperature around it dissipated without a trace the moment it touched this cube.

That cube flashed and disappeared, arriving before Ye Lin, directly shrouding him.

Ye Lin only felt as if his body were being pressed by an invisible mountain, making it difficult to even move a finger.

He tried his best to break free from this restraint, but this power seemed endless and was simply not something he could contend with.

The best way to deal with an enemy possessing an Undying Body is freezing, sealing, or... imprisonment!

But fortunately, before Ye Lin came to the Gate of Apocalypse, he had already anticipated this situation.

"Star Shield!"

The moment it was cast, Star Shield was sublimated into Heavenly Star Explosion!

Ye Lin's eyes became as brilliant as stars, as if endless star power was converging. As if pulled by some force, the surrounding air was vibrating violently.

Ye Lin's body expanded rapidly like a balloon!

Five seconds!

He had tested it before; Heavenly Star Explosion only needed five seconds from casting to complete detonation!

As long as the self-detonation succeeded, Student Zhuge Qianxing's imprisonment on him would also be unlocked. But Student Zhuge Qianxing's next operation made Ye Lin's heart sink to the bottom.

"Playing with star power in front of me? Do you look down on me, this Astrologer?"

Student Zhuge Qianxing pushed his glasses. The next second, the star power accumulated in Ye Lin's body retreated like a tide. Ye Lin's expression changed sharply!

Was the gap in strength between Student Zhuge Qianxing and him actually so large that even completing a self-detonation in front of the other party was a luxury?

Student Zhuge Qianxing raised his hand and gripped, and that Eternal Balance was held in his hand. Even with Student Zhuge Qianxing's temperament, a fiery look couldn't help but surge in his eyes at this moment.

"One of the seven great Origin Ancient Artifacts, the Eternal Balance, is indeed exquisitely perfect."

Student Zhuge Qianxing exclaimed in admiration, then couldn't help but cough violently. One stream of blood after another coughed out from Student Zhuge Qianxing's mouth, staining the clothes on his chest red. Student Zhuge Qianxing's entire aura also withered.

"Tsk, Ye Lin, you almost truly dragged me to death. I divined too much and suffered Heaven's Devouring; my life was already nearing its end. Invoking star power is no different from adding frost to snow. But it's a pity, it was still a bit short in the end. This might be what is meant by 'Heaven's will is in the dark'."

Student Zhuge Qianxing gave a bitter laugh, held the Eternal Balance, walked to Ye Lin's front, and looked at Ye Lin calmly.

"When did you begin to suspect me?"

"The whole time."

"What a pity. If you had trusted me completely, this process now might have been a little less painful."

Student Zhuge Qianxing shook his head with some regret, held the Eternal Balance in one hand, and pressed the other hand on top of Ye Lin's head.

In an instant, the Eternal Balance burst forth with brilliant, dazzling light! ===== CHAPTER 105 =====
