With 5 seconds left in his Heroic Spirit form, Lin Yuan had to think of a way to break the deadlock within 5 seconds.

He had already thought of a plan: first, contaminate the blood-sucking demon scythe with the Pure Filthy Blood, then tear the Wings of Light scroll to detonate the barrier.

By doing this, there was a high probability of heavily damaging the opponent; as for the possibility of killing him, Lin Yuan hadn't even considered it.

But how to contaminate the blood-sucking demon scythe was a difficult problem.

Phantasus's strength was terrifying; it was as difficult as ascending to heaven for Lin Yuan to get close to him.

Not to mention contaminating the blood-sucking demon scythe right in front of Phantasus—that was something completely impossible to do.

However, Lin Yuan wanted to take a gamble.

Flames burned in his eyes as Lin Yuan's fighting spirit was fully ignited.

Ever since acquiring his god-level talent, Lin Yuan had been sailing smoothly. In terms of combat, he had A Li, Ghost, and others on the front lines, and no matter how strong the opponent was, they would eventually die miserably before him.

In terms of safety, he had the Endless Vitality and "Everyone for Me" talents, so he never needed to worry about life-threatening dangers.

Today, for the first time, Lin Yuan felt the crisis of death. This thrilling sensation of walking on the edge of a blade made his mind exceptionally clear.

Lin Yuan knew deeply that if the following action failed, he would become a pile of dirt, dying insignificantly.

"That is not what I want. What I want is to step by step, finally ascend to the supreme!"

"No one can stop my progress!"

A golden scale appeared in Lin Yuan's hand—the scales of justice, capable of forcibly creating a 50/50 standoff with the target. It was perfect for the current situation.

With the scales of justice in hand, Lin Yuan activated it without hesitation. A golden light shone on Phantasus, and both of them were pulled into the duel space.

"A fair duel?" Phantasus said in surprise.

Although Phantasus had never crossed hands with his opponent, he had heard of the famous fair duel.

Within the duel space, no matter how great the difference in strength between the two sides, they would become evenly matched.

The outside world jokingly called it the 50/50 duel space.

But when Phantasus saw the scales of justice in Lin Yuan's hand, a look of realization appeared in his eyes. "So it was just a forgery."

After understanding his current situation, Phantasus did not panic. It was just a legendary-grade item; he could break it with a flip of his hand.

Phantasus extended a finger and tapped lightly against the sky. "plague Blast!"

Bang! A powerful shockwave impacted the top of the duel space.

Crack! A crack appeared on the scales of justice in Lin Yuan's hand, but it did not shatter. The duel space still existed, meaning Lin Yuan still had a chance.

Lin Yuan stepped forward. "avatar of the sea!" "Roar of the Sea!"

Swish, huge waves appeared out of thin air and surged toward Phantasus. The avatar of the sea rode the waves forward and threw a punch at Phantasus.

"Pfft!" Phantasus just waved his hand casually, and the avatar of the sea was shattered on the spot, with the huge waves also being extinguished.

This was the first time Lin Yuan had seen someone able to shatter an SSS-rank Skill just by waving their hand. It was truly terrifying.

After shattering the Roar of the Sea, Phantasus was somewhat impatient. "Scum, do not waste my time."

Wasting time? No, Lin Yuan was just stalling for time for his next action.

In the instant the avatar of the sea delayed him, Lin Yuan had already released the White Bone Execution Platform and the Soul Devouring Prison.

The dim Soul Devouring swamp appeared beneath Phantasus's feet, and countless soul devourers, as if they had smelled some peerless delicacy, scrambled to rush out from underground.

"Soul Devouring Prison." Phantasus smiled contemptuously. "If the Soul Devouring Ghost King were here in person, I would fear him by three points."

"You want to trap me with just a channeled domain? Break for me!"

The Soul Devouring Prison was crushed by Phantasus with one stomp, and Lin Yuan could faintly hear the unwilling roar of the Soul Devouring Ghost King from within.

Stomping the Soul Devouring Prison to pieces did not surprise Lin Yuan in the slightest. The Soul Devouring Prison was just a ruse; what Lin Yuan really needed to do was separate Phantasus from the blood-sucking demon scythe.

The White Bone Execution Platform achieved this. The moment the jade-white White Bone Execution Platform appeared, Phantasus was sucked into it, and four chains tightly locked Phantasus's limbs.

"You want to execute me?" Phantasus was so amused by Lin Yuan's actions that he laughed. "Stupid guy."

Phantasus pulled hard with his body, and the chains locking his limbs snapped with a click. Then, with a stomp, the entire White Bone Execution Platform was kicked to pieces.

Lin Yuan's actions completely enraged Phantasus, and a cold look flashed in his eyes. "I have changed my mind. I will pull out your soul, refine it into a blood soul, and let you suffer the pain of burning day and night."

Phantasus had shattered the Soul Devouring Prison and the White Bone Execution Platform in no more than 2 seconds total. Lin Yuan's brows twitched wildly as he watched, and he asked himself inwardly: Is this level of enemy really something I can deal with?

The answer was yes. How would he know without trying? Lin Yuan did not hesitate to pour the pre-prepared Pure Filthy Blood onto the blood-sucking demon scythe.

Seeing Lin Yuan pouring fresh blood onto the blood-sucking demon scythe, Phantasus laughed heartily. "What a stupid guy, actually daring to covet the blood-sucking demon scythe."

"How can a mythical weapon be something you mortals can covet?"

Phantasus could foresee that as long as Lin Yuan dared to reach out, he would be decapitated by the blood-sucking demon scythe in the next second.

But it seemed the following scene was different from what Phantasus had expected. After the blood infiltrated the blood-sucking demon scythe, the blood-red light of the blood-sucking demon scythe suddenly dimmed.

An extremely evil aura surged along the red line connecting Phantasus and the blood-sucking demon scythe. This evil aura barely reached one percent of Phantasus's peak state.

In his prime, Phantasus probably wouldn't even have glanced at such an attack.

But now it was different. Having been sealed for ten thousand years and having lost his most powerful physical body, with only his soul remaining, an attack of this magnitude posed a significant threat to Phantasus.

Just as Phantasus was laughing, his head went boom, as if someone had heavily hammered his brainstem with a large Tie Chui, and then continuously drilled into his cranial nerves with a hammer drill.

Phantasus let out an "Ah!" and fell from the sky while screaming. Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan was overjoyed.

He secretly thought that Mars was truly a lucky star; the things that dropped when he died were so damn useful, even a Tier 9 Sovereign could be hit by them.

Actually, Lin Yuan had misunderstood. It wasn't that Mars's items were powerful; the Pure Filthy Blood, this thing was useless against people, only useful against weapons.

It just happened to be a coincidence. Phantasus was currently in a special state; he hadn't been assimilated by the blood-sucking demon scythe, but he hadn't mastered it either. The two were currently in a temporary symbiotic relationship.

If given some time, Phantasus could transform this temporary symbiotic relationship, continuously pumping blood to subtly change the internal structure of the blood-sucking demon scythe, eventually achieving the goal of mastering it.

But now that Phantasus had not mastered the blood-sucking demon scythe, the two were still in a symbiotic relationship, which gave Lin Yuan an opportunity.
