All laws are treacherous, I am the Spirit Lord

Chapter 415 Li Yu's Near Collapse

A comment from a rather prescient viewer indeed came true not long afterward.

Li Yu relied on his stealing speed, which was even faster than "instinct," combined with the characteristics of the Time-Space Secret Blade.

They committed crimes in a frenzy for the next period of time.

It cleaved through the void time and time again, darting to one landing point after another.

While the other demigods were fighting to the death, he snatched the cosmic artifacts inside and ran away, leaving one or more demigods bewildered, who then flew into a rage after he left.

He could only obtain the two cosmic artifacts, the [Time-Space Secret Blade] and the [Spear of Destruction], once or twice.

But as the number of times increased, Li Yu's gains skyrocketed.

While the audience gasped in amazement, they were also deeply immersed in Li Yu's perspective.

It was as if they had become legendary thieves, roaming the void and stealing rare treasures amidst the presence of numerous powerful demigods.

This exhilarating sensation is addictive.

"Hey, look, look! The Son of the Vortex God has succeeded again."

"Who can stop him? Although he can't beat a single opponent, without realizing it, the number of cosmic artifacts he possesses has firmly secured his position as number one, completely crushing the second-ranked prodigy."

"He actually got the [Invisibility Cloak], another weakness has been filled, how are we going to stop him now?"

"This is the fourth landing point. This time, he didn't even need two seconds. He directly stole a bottle of [Water of Life] while invisible, which is equivalent to having a second life."

"Shameless, utterly shameless! He snatched that [Pseudo-Ever-Changing Maze] and immediately used it on the pursuers behind him, trapping the Blasphemous Twins and Morning Star, who had been chasing him for a long time, inside the maze and unable to get out."

"The sixth Descent Point, the Undying Blade isn't as powerful as I imagined. It clearly made a move, yet the Son of the Vortex God still managed to snatch the [Pseudo-Dream Helmet]. It's too useless."

"Imagine the other demigods, how angry and frustrated they must be right now. It's their battlefield, their artifacts are far more powerful than that thief, yet they can't do anything about it..."

"Hehe, but I'm actually identifying with the Son of the Vortex God."

"That was amazing. He has the most beautiful and alluring body in the Boundless Spirit Realm, and he is also an incredibly talented thief. He is no match for him in terms of raw strength, but he still managed to manipulate a group of demigods at will. If I were him, I would definitely cause chaos in all the planes and universes of the Boundless Spirit Realm."

……

Who would have thought?

In the battlefield where a large group of demigod-level powerhouses were fighting, the one who is now stealing the spotlight is a legendary nobody.

Of course, that was before.

Today, the reputation of "Son of the Vortex God" has surpassed that of most demigod-level players.

In terms of popularity, it remains firmly in first place!

Everyone is anticipating and waiting.

As for what to wait for?
This was naturally Li Yu's moment of downfall.

It's really enjoyable to see things from Li Yu's perspective.

But it doesn't last.

After getting a taste of the thrill from afar, all the viewers turned their attention to the scene where Li Yu failed to steal the cosmic artifact and escape.

No one doubted that it might happen.

No matter how cunning one is, there are limits.

And sure enough, the iconic scene that the audience had been waiting for arrived very quickly.

The seventh landing point!

This place is a desolate planet that is very suitable as a battlefield.

Li Yu used the same trick again, appearing by tearing open the void.

And immediately search for the points of light containing the cosmic wonders.

It turns out that picking up, stealing, and robbing treasures are highly addictive behaviors; for example, Li Yu was completely addicted to them.

Ignoring the fact that he would offend many contestants, he relentlessly shuttled back and forth, committing crimes continuously.

Until this moment, things went wrong.

What caught his eye was indeed a very rare cosmic artifact.

Fake Infinity Gauntlet!
The authentic version of this item is renowned and holds a prominent place in the entire boundless spirit world. Moreover, it is a composite artifact, with its main components being several primordial gems of the universe.

For example, the Time Gem is currently in effect on Li Yu at this very moment.

Wearing the Infinity Gauntlet was a female demigod of unknown race, whose appearance was somewhat similar to a dark version of the "Angewomon" that Li Yu had once wanted to exchange for, only larger, more twisted, and more alluring.

He seemed to have known all along that Li Yu would come and had been waiting.

The crack had just appeared when Li Yu emerged, only to step right into its trap.

The entire landing point!
They were all enveloped by the "temporal domain" released by Him, and Li Yu's body and thoughts were frozen.

Li Yu initially held onto a glimmer of hope.

After all, he was wearing an invisibility cloak.

This counterfeit artifact naturally possesses an invisibility effect sufficient to fool most demigods.

But unexpectedly, an exception occurred.

There was no conversation at all; they were caught off guard.

This dark, witch-like being instantly teleported in front of Li Yu and then removed the cloak that granted him the power of invisibility.

A body, both cool and hot, soft and boundless, embraced her. A face like that of a female fairy drew near, and she whispered seductively:
"A demigod gave us advance notice that the legendary player among us, who is the only one who is not a demigod, is skilled at stealing and shamelessly runs away after grabbing something, which is how he has accumulated many treasures."

"His outward appearance is that of a handsome human male, who already possesses cosmic wonders such as the [Invisibility Cloak], [Destruction Spear], [Ever-Changing Maze], [Dream Helmet], and [Water of Life]... In addition, he himself possesses a variety of wondrous artifacts, making him a veritable treasure-giving child."

"I never expected that I would win the lottery."

"If I eat you, little thing, I might become the champion of this grand competition."

"As a token of my gratitude, I can grant you the ultimate pleasure before you die... Believe me, in this vast and boundless spirit realm, only the goddesses and goddesses under the command of the [Evil God] can rival me in this regard."

Upon hearing these words, Li Yu was about to be completely frozen in place.

In that final moment, as he stared at the alluring body before him, savoring its exquisite beauty, he suddenly remembered its identity and origins.

"Dark Beast?"

"No, she is an advanced version of the [Black Beast Saintess], and also a demigod under the command of the [Lord of Darkness], the mortal enemy of the Lord of Light."

"As a proper goddess, she was granted the power of three kinds of authority: sex, darkness, and dreams."

"Could it be that my invisibility cloak failed because I was in a dream... um?"

Li Yu suddenly blinked.

I realized how I had fallen victim to this.

The Black Beast Saintess has set up a dream realm in this "Seventh Descent Point." Anyone who steps into it will directly enter the dream. The invisibility cloak can perfectly conceal my body and soul, but it cannot exempt me from dream corruption.

Therefore, he was discovered and subsequently affected by the Infinity Gauntlet's time freeze.

Now that I know it was a dream!
Of course, he can wake up immediately.

He immediately realized that he still had a gap of one ten-thousandth of a second.

"After all, it's just a replica of the genuine artifact, and it's been weakened too much."

"And my soul strength goes without saying, even my physical strength far surpasses the legendary level. The pseudo-Infinity Gauntlet couldn't completely freeze me in a second."

"Most importantly, I realized I was dreaming and woke up."

"If it had been even a fraction of a second later, it would have been too late. It would have been completely solidified into a piece of time-space amber, and its fate would have been uncertain."

These thoughts had not yet arisen.

Li Yu's instinct kicked in the moment he realized it was a dream, and he immediately launched a counterattack.

During that brief moment, he simultaneously activated all the various wondrous objects and divine artifacts within his body.

First, the Cosmic Compass popped up! The second hand turned back, directly aligning with the Time Gem, gaining another half second.

He immediately opened his mouth and spat out a crimson spear of destruction, its tip emitting terrifying energy, about to lock onto the black beast saintess in his arms and blast her to death.

Of course, to be more precise.

It was Li Yu, in the other person's arms.

The size difference between the two perfectly matched the saying "a small horse pulling a big one"... which also made it easy for Li Yu to take the opportunity to strike deadly.

The Spear of Destruction was, after all, an artifact blessed by a fallen sovereign-level evil god.

Even counterfeits can ignore all defenses, including those related to dreams and time.

However, just as he was about to succeed, an unexpected change occurred.

As endless darkness descended, countless "dark female beasts" of all shapes and sizes and alluring forms appeared. Snow-white arms stretched out from the darkness, and endless black beasts surged forth, trying to drag and engulf Li Yu and the Spear of Destruction.

The latter trembled incessantly, but for the time being, it was unable to break through the power that was clearly a divine realm, lock onto and kill its opponent.

See this!

Without hesitation, Li Yu turned and ran.

Although he still has many trump cards up his sleeve, such as the Pseudo-Holy Scepter, the Dream Helmet, the Ever-Changing Maze, and so on, not to mention his ability as the Bait-Eating True Lord.

Li Yu was not afraid of head-on confrontations, or even power struggles over relevant authority.

He was confident he could handle this female demigod known as the Black Beast Saintess; if he acted decisively enough, he could win or even kill her.

He is indeed the son of the Vortex God.

Li Yu was confident in his ability to compete in the art of blood and flesh replenishment.

However, he still made the decision to escape in a tenth of a second.

The reason is simple.

Li Yu sensed immense danger and knew he couldn't afford to gamble.

"This Black Beast Saintess said earlier that a demigod had given advance warning that I would come to rob her."

"Doesn't this mean... I might be targeted by multiple demigods?"

"Are the victims who were tricked and robbed going to hunt me down for revenge?"

"No way, they're all at the level of god-child, and all I stole were replicas of some cosmic artifacts. Why would they be so petty as to gang up on me?"

These suspicions were accompanied by these thoughts.

Li Yu successfully entered the void that opened up behind him and headed to the next landing point.

The Black Beast Saintess, who was originally going to give chase, followed them in.

But the terrifying killing intent she felt at that moment forced her to stop.

This stop actually saved him.

Once her divine realm enters the void passage opened by Li Yu, it will inevitably become ineffective.

At that time, not only will she be unable to hunt down Li Yu, but she herself will also lose her life.

The moment the two embraced, Li Yu realized what kind of demigod the "Black Beast Saintess" was, and what she had done that she would not show any mercy.

Simply put!
It is somewhat similar to the Morning Star, the Giant of Light.

Morning Star's "transmission of teachings" will attract radiation of light, burning all those who receive the teachings to death, making it a veritable creator of charred corpses.

This saintess also bears the responsibility of transmitting the Dharma to the Lord of Darkness, but what she creates through her transmission of the Dharma is not charred corpses, but dried corpses.

Indeed, wherever this saintess goes, every living being on every planet will be drained of their life force in the darkness.

Li Yu is ruthless when it comes to dealing with such beings, especially since he covets the pseudo-Infinity Gauntlet.

Among the many cosmic wonders revealed by the Lord of the Veil!
This thing is quite practical.

……

Just half a second after Li Yu fled.

At the seventh descent point where the Black Beast Saintess was located, blades emerged one after another, tearing through the void.

The four demigods—the Blasphemous Twins, the Morning Star, the Queen Bee, and the Undying Blade—appeared together with incredible coordination.

Immediately, they all saw it.

There was only one Black Beast Saintess here, not the Son of the Vortex God, and the four demigods all showed disappointment on their faces.

Like them, the audience across the myriad realms reacted with boos and a flurry of comments:

"What a pity, that guy got away again."

"What amazing talent, what a slippery thief, just a little bit short."

"Four demigods chased after him, but they were still a step too late."

"He has probably already noticed something is wrong. Otherwise, this [Black Beast Saintess] would be in trouble. Although her divine kingdom of authority is a level higher than that of the Son of the Vortex God, in terms of attributes, she is clearly restrained by the Son of the Vortex God. In addition, with that large number of cosmic wonders and ancient holy artifacts, if the two were to entangle and fight, the Son of the Vortex God would have a good chance of winning."

"It's no use even if we realize it. He stole the pseudo-Ever-Changing Maze and offended the most petty [Smiling Nightmare]. He did nothing but send messages while holding the secret blade."

"Hahaha, there are traps ahead. The Son of the Vortex God still has no way out."

……

The four demigods were not surprised to learn that although he had stepped into the trap, he had managed to escape.

Clearly, their previous dealings with Li Yu had made them understand how slippery and cunning he was.

If they were killed so easily, they wouldn't have suddenly decided to hunt them down en masse.

Anyway, there's plenty of time before the third round of this third battle royale mode.

This is only the first round, which is the stage of mutual slaughter and collection of cosmic wonders.

Teaming up to chase after the one and only "legend" chosen is a kind of hunting pleasure, especially since they are all victims.

And then, in the next moment!
The blasphemous twins, the queen bee, and the immortal blade once again cleaved through the void to hunt down Li Yu.

Behind them were two demigods, Morning Star and Black Beast Saintess, who had revealed their true forms and were now locked in a fierce battle.

There was no other way.

They are the sons of God, namely the Prince of Light and the Prince of Darkness.

They are destined enemies.

If we don't encounter it, that's fine.

But if they encounter each other, there will only be one reaction: a life-or-death battle.

The Black Beast Saintess was neither a pre-invited prodigy nor the chosen one of the world.

The reason it appears at the Gate of All Realms.

It was only because the "Lord of Darkness" noticed that Morning Star was among the contestants that he deliberately threw the Black Beast Saintess into the competition as well.

Compared to this grudge, Li Yu became insignificant.

If he were to see this, he would surely be delighted.

The demigod who hunted him, therefore minus two.

Unfortunately!

Subtracting two doesn't make much difference.

Because Li Yu did not stop there.

In fact, they've become even more brazen.
