"Secret Technique·Annihilation Slash!"

Lin Yi wielding immense power, swung his weapon towards the barrier suspended high in the air:

"Boom~"

"-1104574"

Accompanied by the massive damage inflicted, Lin Yi did not stop there, but continued to launch his attack:

"Vermilion Bird - Fiery Flame Feathers"

With a clear chirp resounding, a Vermilion Bird engulfed in flames soared high.

As its wings flapped, countless Feather Wings turned into blades, striking the barrier:

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh~"

"-358896"

"-358896"

"-358896"

...

Following this, Lin Yi saw a crack appear in the clouds above.

Under Lin Yi’s gaze, a ray of light shone through the crack in the barrier and illuminated his body:

"-15000"

"+5000"

However, Lin Yi didn’t pause his actions and continued, summoning the Vermilion Bird while activating another skill:

"Eight-headed Energy Wave"

Before the fiery figure vanished, the enormous body of Orochi suddenly appeared in the air.

The eight sinister heads simultaneously attacked the barrier:

"Boom boom boom~"

The huge energy waves, with their suffocating power, crashed onto the barrier:

"-600457"

"-600457"

...

When the attacks of the eight energy waves ended, the crack on the barrier reappeared.

The entire sky looked like a mirror about to shatter, filled with intricate lines.

Yet at this moment, Lin Yi’s Life Value was only slightly reduced to less than a tenth.

Regarding this, Lin Yi was quite confident.

For nearly the next hour, Lin Yi tirelessly cycled through almost all of his attack skills multiple times.

Switching from close combat skills to ranged skills as one succeeded.

The dozen or so skills Lin Yi had were alternately used, the sky constantly resounded with booming noises.

The outcome was obvious.

At this moment, the barrier was covered in countless cracks, but to Lin Yi’s anxiety, there was still no sign of it breaking open.

Instead, Lin Yi’s health had long been depleted to less than a million.

At this rate, Lin Yi could only possibly hold on for less than ten minutes.

If he couldn’t break the barrier within the given time, he would truly be out of options.

Unless ’Descent of the Dragon God’ could be triggered, but how to trigger it under such circumstances?

Yet just as Lin Yi was worried about failing to break the barrier,

holding the Red Sky Divine Pearl, Lin Yi witnessed the unexpected appearance of the Emperor’s Charm Sword without his command.

Lin Yi was startled:

"Master Aunt!"

Then rejoiced:

"You are alright?"

Previously, Katrina had been aiding Lin Yi in opening the Yellow Springs Divine Shrine but was forced to retreat for recovery due to soul injuries.

She hadn’t appeared in the past few days.

Now that the Emperor’s Charm Sword appears, Katrina is undoubtedly in control.

As a spiritual artifact, Katrina has a high degree of autonomy.

Therefore, she can command the weapon without Lin Yi’s permission.

After the Emperor’s Charm Sword appeared, it didn’t respond to Lin Yi but immediately transformed into a stream of light, striking towards the barrier.

During this process, the sword transformed into Katrina’s form, Lin Yi suddenly realized.

Indeed, his Summon Sword Spirit was in a cooldown state.

This means Katrina directly activated the skill for Lin Yi:

"Summon Sword Spirit"

...

Realizing this, Lin Yi’s face changed dramatically:

"Master Aunt, no!!!"

Lin Yi shouted in heart-wrenching grief.

At this moment, the words of Elda still echoed in his ears:

"Miss Katrina’s soul state is extremely weak, don’t summon her for combat consumption in the short term."

This was why Lin Yi hadn’t summoned Katrina initially.

Yet, Lin Yi couldn’t believe Katrina would decide independently.

"Instant Teleportation"

In a flash, Lin Yi caught up with Katrina, flapping his Feather Wings.

Watching Katrina’s flickering body, Lin Yi shouted with heartache:

"Master Aunt, stop! Please stop!"

However, Katrina only gave Lin Yi a glance; the next moment, Katrina’s hand wielding the Emperor’s Charm Sword pierced into one of the cracks in the barrier with overwhelming power:

"One Sword Breaks the Void"

This is the strongest skill of Katrina at the True Divine Level.

As the sword tip pierced in, the whole world seemed to stop; all wind sounds ceased;

At that moment, Lin Yi could clearly hear his heartbeat.

Yet this state seemed to last forever, but it was only a mere flicker, as an immensely terrifying force came from above Lin Yi’s head.

First, several rays of light broke through the clouds, showering down.

Then a blinding white light flashed, along with a soul-reaching tremor:

"Snap~"

Lin Yi looked up.

The barrier appeared like an ice surface cracking, starting to chip off, fall, then dissipate.

Yet Lin Yi wasn’t excited by the barrier’s breaking.

Because under Lin Yi’s gaze, Katrina in a red robe gave Lin Yi a fragile smile, Lin Yi’s pupils contracted:

"No!!!"

Thereafter, Katrina turned into sparkling starlight, gradually fading away.

When Lin Yi approached, he only caught the Emperor’s Charm Sword falling powerlessly, Katrina had completely vanished.

Lin Yi cried out in despair:

"Aahhhhh!!!!"

Just then, Elda appeared suddenly with a panic-stricken face:

"Master, don’t worry, Miss Katrina is fine."

"What?!"

Lin Yi glared with red eyes, looking at Elda nearby:

"My Master Aunt is alright?"

"Is it true!"

In his urgency, Lin Yi even forgot that Elda was in soul form and tried to reach out to grab him.

But his hand passed through empty air.

Elda, understanding Lin Yi’s anxiety, quickly said:

"Miss Katrina just overextended her Power of the Soul."

Speaking, Elda placed a hand on the Emperor’s Charm Sword. Under Lin Yi’s nervous watch, a faint energy continuously emanated from Elda’s body.

And the Emperor’s Charm Sword, like a sponge, absorbed that energy without stop.

Elda’s soul state instantly became flickering and seemingly unstable.

A few breaths later, visibly exhausted, Elda said:

"Miss Katrina should be fine now."

The cracks on the Emperor’s Charm Sword restored completely, Lin Yi sighed in relief, then looked at Elda with a complicated expression:

"Thank you!"

Elda weakly smiled:

"Just this time, until Miss Katrina fully recovers, don’t act recklessly."

Elda’s words reminded Lin Yi,

Promptly, Lin Yi removed the Emperor’s Charm Sword from the Off-hand Weapon slot.

So, situations like the previous one would never happen again.

After doing all this, Lin Yi turned to Elda again, expressing heartfelt gratitude:

"Senior Elda, thank you!"

Elda said nothing more and returned to the Floating Holy Ring.

At this moment, Lin Yi remembered:

The barrier is broken!!!
