Chapter 981: Battle Against Seyth (Requesting Monthly Votes)

The Master of Kongming also spoke out:

“Lin Qi, he is your opponent for the second trial—Seyth!”

“He is an intelligent lifeform created by my Master, and what remains here is merely his avatar, permanently possessing mastery over five Spatial Truths.”

“He has never changed; he has always served as the opponent for the second trial.”

“But his combat experience is extremely rich.”

“After every battle with a Legendary Genius, his combat experience surges dramatically.”

“He becomes increasingly difficult to handle.”

“The difficulty of defeating him to pass the trial rises linearly.”

“Thus, the difficulty of passing the trial and becoming my Master’s disciple only grows ever greater.”

“Lin Qi, you must push yourself harder.”

“You have three chances to challenge him. If you fail all three—”

“You will never pass the trial.”

After hearing this, Lin Qi’s expression turned solemn:

“I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Elder.”

“Shhh!”

The Master of Kongming nodded, then his body dissolved into a green stream of light, shooting upward and leaving the range of Deepspace Island entirely.

Meanwhile, the Star Spirit, clad in a dazzling golden robe, spoke:

【Prepare yourselves! Ten-second countdown begins!】

Lin Qi gripped his Golden Thunder Spear, his sharp gaze locked on Seyth, as vast amounts of information surfaced in his mind.

Through countless battles, he could determine an opponent’s dominant Laws merely from the information they emitted.

He had not asked his Master, Lei Zun, in advance.

He would not study his opponent’s details beforehand—that would be unfair.

And it would betray a lack of confidence in his own strength.

After all, his opponent Seyth would not know his information in advance either.

He had full confidence in achieving victory through pure, honorable means.

His opponent Seyth likely cultivated the Earth and Spatial Laws.

Three Earth-based abilities and three Spatial-based abilities together totaled exactly twelve abilities—meeting the threshold of a Legendary Genius.

Moreover, Seyth’s physique was even more massive than Weigu’s; his physical strength could only be greater.

To defeat him this time, he would still need to unleash his full power.

Seyth stared at Lin Qi and grinned cruelly.

With his bald head, his face looked grotesque, and his aura surged higher and higher.

【Countdown: …3, 2, 1】

【Countdown ended. The second trial’s battle officially begins!】

…

The Star Spirit, draped in luxurious golden robes, formally announced the battle’s commencement.

“Huuuuhhh!!”

Instantly, an invisible gale erupted across the small island, engulfing the entire arena.

The gale filled every corner.

Simultaneously, invisible pressure radiated from both combatants.

“Boom!!”

On Seyth’s battle armor, earth-yellow and silver runes surfaced.

Especially his bronze-colored bald head, which instantly glowed brightly.

An invisible earth-yellow domain spread outward from his body.

Gravity underwent a massive shift.

It felt as if countless colossal mountains pressed down upon him; gravity increased dozens of times, and the air grew thick and viscous.

Movement slowed by countless times, while Spatial Law forces also pressed in.

Lin Qi frowned, feeling the overwhelming pressure.

Seyth’s strength was undoubtedly greater than Weigu’s on the 16th level.

Seyth, his massive frame, continuously unleashed power, smiling at Lin Qi:

“Member Lin Qi, unleash your full strength.”

“Otherwise, you’ll only regret losing.”

“You Legendary Geniuses think you can defeat me by showing only part of your power.”

“Yet every time, I’ve beaten you senseless.”

Lin Qi replied calmly: “Then rest assured—I’m different from other Legendary Geniuses.”

As he spoke, three colors of light erupted from his body; purple, gold, and silver runes surfaced on his skin.

A dominant aura enveloped the entire island as the Purple-Gold Domain surged forth.

It clashed directly with Seyth’s domain.

The collision formed a Lawstorm.

“Boom!!”

In an instant, Seyth charged forward from his spot—he did not use teleportation, but rushed like a furious beast, smashing through space.

His five-meter-tall frame swung his black spear, tearing through space, unleashing cutting force.

He raised both arms, bringing the black spear down like an axe, aiming to split the entire island in two.

Seeing this, Lin Qi smiled—wanting to crush me head-on?

Then you’ve picked the wrong opponent.

“Boom!!”

His body shot forward like a thunderclap; his Golden Thunder Spear swung, and Purple-Gold Gang energy surged from within.

His hundreds of billions of cells activated simultaneously, pouring immense force into the spear.

Facing the descending black spear-shadow, he swung his Golden Thunder Spear with both arms, driving upward with brutal force!

No technique—only pure power. Lin Qi unleashed all his strength at once.

He wanted to see just how strong Seyth’s power was.

Could it match his own?

“Boom!!”

In an instant, the two spears collided violently; their forces clashed, merging pure strength with Gang energy.

On Lin Qi’s side, besides the immense force, there were also the two most yang and rigid Laws: Gold and Thunder.

Space exploded, followed by a deafening flash of light, like a nuclear detonation, illuminating the island.

Their collision alone could destroy a planet.

On the Primordial Tower’s Wasteland, hundreds of kilometers would be turned into basins.

Yet on this small island, the shockwave from their clash formed only a pit dozens of meters long.

And the two combatants—Seyth’s body was blasted backward a great distance; he felt a terrifying force slamming into his body.

Even though his spear was larger, he still felt as if struck by a colossal super-beast; his throat turned sweet, his internal organs severely damaged.

“Boom!!”

His body flew backward, crashing hard into a mountain peak.

With a deafening roar, the mountain instantly disintegrated, shattering apart.

Even though the mountain was incredibly hard, it still could not withstand Seyth’s body.
