All laws are treacherous, I am the Spirit Lord

Chapter 421 Good vs. Evil, Hero Saves the Beauty

In an empty landing point universe, Li Yu was healing his wounds.

He was cloaked in invisibility, and apart from the "audience," no other prodigies or demigods in the battle royale world could see him.

Of course, this does not mean that he is absolutely safe.

If the invisibility cloak were that effective, he wouldn't have been caught off guard by the Seven Gods earlier.

In fact, he is still in a dangerous situation!
Despite his perfect record: killing the Smiling Nightmare, severely injuring the Queen Bee and the Black Moon Witch, and successfully escaping from the encirclement of the Seven Gods.

But this did not frighten the extremely ferocious demigods, "Undying Blade," "First Corruptor," "Calamity Taoist," and "Blasphemy Twins," but rather aroused their even greater interest.

The initial playful and teasing attitude has transformed into a serious pursuit.

They even abandoned their mortal enemies, traversing from one landing point to another, trying to dig out Li Yu and kill him.

This is not about taking advantage of someone's misfortune!
After all, they all knew that although Li Yu had lost the invincible [Shield of Nothingness], he still retained a large number of cosmic artifacts. Coupled with his fighting style, which was almost an "art of combat," he was already a favorite to win the championship and was not an easy opponent.

Therefore, this actually means that these demigods have regarded Li Yu as an opponent of equal rank, and one who is both highly threatening and valuable. Killing him would bring honor to their own true god.

Li Yu was also aware of this.

Because while he was hiding, he witnessed several ferocious demigods moving back and forth, their murderous intent and malice directed at him.

The reason Li Yu was not discovered was not only due to the invisibility cloak, but more importantly, it was due to his True Soul Body. He could always use the Space-Time Secret Blade to cut into the void gaps with unparalleled precision and rhythm, avoiding all pursuers.

To the audience, it was like constantly teetering on the edge of death, recklessly courting death.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Li Yu did not use the "special medicine," which was another cosmic artifact he had stolen, the "Water of Life," which could directly heal almost all injuries in one go, whether physical or spiritual, or even some conceptual damage.

Instead, they heal slowly, relying on themselves to recover.

Little by little, he expelled the "divine nature of calamity" from his body, which was extremely destructive and almost killed him completely.

Many viewers were initially puzzled by this, but they soon found the answer in the comments left by several evil gods who had clearly set their sights on Li Yu and planned to take action later.

Translated into human language, it would be roughly like this:

"The Son of the Vortex God probably really wants to compete for the championship. So far, he is unwilling to waste any means or opportunities. Although the Water of Life can heal him instantly, it will also cost him a chance to save his life. He probably wants to use it in the second and third rounds."

"The divinity of the Vortex God is quite peculiar. It can simultaneously expel the divinity of calamity, suppress the cost brought by the Holy Grail of Corruption, and has extremely keen perception. Every time, it avoids the pursuit and search at just the right moment. I'm afraid it won't be long before it recovers to its peak condition."

"He was already in a comfortable position after the first round, and he still had more than a dozen cosmic artifacts on him. In the arena, he was already an absolute demigod. In a one-on-one fight, he was no weaker than any of the contestants, and might even be better."

"The second and third rounds are the real test. Whether it's those cosmic catastrophes or the projections of ancient saints, they are threats far beyond his level."

"If a legendary prodigy were to surpass all the demigods and win the championship... he would become a true legend."

"It won't be that easy. They won't fight hard in the first round. Maybe when the second round starts, the only death record will be that Cosmic Joker... The real life-or-death battle will begin in the third round."

……

Whether the prophecy from some evil god will come true remains to be seen.

Because the first round is far from over.

Although the demigods like the Undying Blade and the Calamity Daoist all wanted to dig out Li Yu, Li Yu, who had already released his True Soul Body, was in a state of "absolute bug".

Within the time limit of truth!

Let alone them, even if a true divine entity were to descend, it would be difficult to catch him.

Besides using it to avoid disaster, Li Yu naturally wouldn't waste the true effectiveness of the Truth Soul Body.

Peep into the secret!

He quickly gained a lot of insights as he asked random questions.

For example, the weaknesses of the group of ferocious demigods who roamed back and forth in his hiding place, the secrets attached to his divine body, and so on.

In addition, there are some more important ones:
"The second round of the [Cosmic Cataclysm Tribulation] will be released in three days. At that time, starting from the outermost edge of the ring, this battle royale plane will continuously collapse towards the core area, and random catastrophes such as [Dead Silence], [Howl of Destruction], [God-Destroying Meme], [Quantum Storm], [Dimensional Reduction Strike] and so on will erupt."

“Every natural disaster, if it strikes, is enough to kill any demigod or even a divine entity, with little chance of survival.”

"But because these natural disasters are not the originals, but rather copied and plagiarized by the Lord of the Veil using the power of the Gates of All Realms and adding his own narrative authority, each natural disaster has a very subtle weakness."

"For example, the calamity of deathly silence!"

"It is a natural disaster that ravages many planes of the boundless spirit world. It appears randomly and without warning. Once released, all things fall into a state of death. Life that is affected will turn from living things into dead things in an instant."

"But if one has absolute control over flesh and blood and life, and can enter the 'inanimate object' state in advance, one can dissipate the power of this natural disaster to the greatest extent... For example, at the moment the natural disaster breaks out, one can transform oneself into a meteorite with kinetic energy, and then escape the disaster area and be resurrected."

"Or perhaps that dimensional reduction attack is a terrifying calamity that compresses everything into a paper-like existence. The strength of its power depends on the intensity. The dimensional reduction attack that is stirring in this plane is aimed at demigods. Once hit, they will be immediately superimposed into a paper-like space."

"The method of avoidance is..."

……

No one could have predicted it.

Li Yu, who appears to be healing his wounds at this moment, is actually cheating like crazy.

If we compare the [Gate of All Realms], which connects all the worlds and broadcasts battles live, to a super program in operation, then Li Yu is now peering into its underlying code.

Just like when they spied on the ancient saints, they directly attacked the backstage area.

No mystery could escape his notice.

The more he peered in, the more horrified he became, completely immersed in the terrifying "cosmic catastrophes" and their solutions. The difficulty of the second round of catastrophe challenges was rapidly decreasing for him, going from nightmare level to certain death level.

I reckon it won't be long before it becomes ordinary.

The other demigods remain at the original difficulty level.

This feeling of difference is truly delightful.

So much so that Li Yu didn't pay much attention to the fact that the twenty-eighth truth bubble was fully charged.

As his cultivation level skyrocketed, he became involved in increasingly larger events, revealing his eccentric nature and leading to more reckless and dangerous behavior.

The tactic of using espionage to fuel further espionage is also proving effective.

I just used up one bubble!
Immediately, another one was added to the reserve.

Not only did they suffer no loss, but they also made a huge profit.

What surprised Li Yu even more was that he unexpectedly discovered another secret.

He had wondered about this before.

Many of the world's chosen ones that the ancient sages painstakingly sent over died in the grand tournament.

Why didn't the ancient sage turn against the master of the veil when his achievements were destroyed?

Now, the answer is here:
"The Gate of All Realms, as a divine artifact of extremely high authority and status, has a core function: [Saving]. Any life form that enters this artifact will be automatically saved, preserving its original form."

"In other words, all life that dies within the Gate of All Realms can actually be resurrected."

"Of course, resurrection also has different levels."

“Something of origin, corpses, puppets, weak resurrection, perfect resurrection... and so on.”

“Each level requires a different price to achieve.” “The Ancient Saint does not intend to resurrect all the dead Children of the World. He and the Lord of the Veil will only resurrect the Origin to use the world coordinates hidden within it.”

"The relevant conditions have already been agreed upon by the ancient sages and the true gods behind those chosen ones of the world."

"The plan to collapse the present world is still progressing normally and will begin after the Grand Tournament."

……

While Li Yu was healing his wounds and prying into the secrets of cheating, the other demigods were not idle either.

Because the amusing demigod Laughing Nightmare was no longer around, he was making connections everywhere.

Therefore, the attack on Li Yu ended hastily after they searched for him several times without success.

Twenty or thirty demigods!
They've entered the one-on-one battle phase again.

After all, a large part of them are mortal enemies. Since they have encountered each other, how can they not get entangled and fight each other?
However, the "match-3" game that Li Yu and many viewers expected could not be achieved.

Demigod level!
These three words mean a lot.

For example, it is difficult to kill and possesses countless methods, etc.

A battle between demigods is unlikely to occur unless there is a significant generational gap or a sudden attack like Li Yu's previous one.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they could fight for hundreds or even thousands of years without a clear victor.

It's only been a short time, so naturally there won't be any disastrous consequences.

but!

The prophecy of a certain evil god who was watching the battle regarding the record of death also quickly failed.

On the very next day.

Two more demigods have died in the arena.

They were none other than the two female demigods who had been tricked by Li Yu earlier, namely the Black Moon Witch and the Queen Bee.

When the siege ended, they, like Li Yu, were all seriously injured.

The queen bee suffered the most severe injuries.

After all, He had first been attacked by Li Yu in the abdomen, then bewitched, and desperately tried to stop the attack on Li Yu. In the end, He was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and could not even escape.

So on that day, while the other demigods continued to hunt down Li Yu...

The queen bee was swallowed whole by the less seriously injured "Black Moon Witch".

However, this move was also a miscalculation. She was already seriously injured, and she still had to forcibly devour other demigods. Even if they had similar attributes, she would not be able to refine them quickly.

So not long after!

She was killed by the "Undying Blade" that returned to the universe where she descended.

All the vitality that filled his body was absorbed.

However, neither of these scenes could shake Li Yu's position as the most popular, even though he was just hiding in a secluded crevice healing his wounds and did nothing else.

But on the third day, the situation changed.

Perhaps realizing how formidable Li Yu's skill at playing hide-and-seek was, all the ferocious demigods abandoned their pursuit of him.

They turned their attention to the six demigods from the righteous god camp!

The battle mode shifted directly from one-on-one duels to faction-based combat.

This is also impossible.

Although they are all demigods, the difference between righteous gods and evil gods is too obvious, so it is only natural that they are divided into factions.

Despite the fact that Li Yu caused the evil god's camp to lose three members right from the start.

The Smiling Nightmare, the Queen Bee, and the Black Moon Witch.

But to be honest, none of these three demigods are top-tier in terms of combat power, so they have almost no impact.

If it were Morning Star, Undying Blade, or First Corruption who had fallen, the situation would be completely different.

Unfortunately, Li Yu wasn't confident he could kill these men.

Although he had already subtly hooked them onto his fishing hook, he could only exert a subtle influence and weak control, not enough to easily kill them.

His attack on the "Cosmic Clown" was not only because He held the Cosmic Lock, but also because he wanted to pick on the weak.

Ever since!
As soon as the faction war broke out, the God faction unsurprisingly fell into a disadvantageous position.

Although the six—the God of Slaughter, the Martial Saint, the Nirvana Venerable, Zhang Tianshi, the Time-Stopping King, and the Moon Maiden—all possess extraordinary combat power.

The top three, in particular, are in no way inferior to Morning Star's Undying Blade and the First Corruptor.

The Time Stop King's assistance is even more incredibly powerful.

However, this is still not enough to make up for the disadvantage in terms of quantity.

The unprecedentedly fierce fighting and chaotic battles, coupled with the special environment of the Gate of All Realms, made all the viewers feel as if they were watching a war on a multiverse level.

As a result, Li Yu lost his title as the most popular person for the first time.

Until many viewers realized that this guy had already recovered from his injuries at some point.

However, it did not participate in the battle, but instead wandered around the battlefields of various landing points like a "spectator."

At the same time, they hid very well and were not exposed at all.

"Hmm? What does the Son of the Vortex God want to do?"

"If we categorize them by faction, it seems that the Vortex God is neither good nor evil, but rather a chaotic alien god. So, which side will he join?"

"Although he possesses a wealth of divine artifacts, he is cautious by nature. In order to pass the next two rounds, he probably intends to ambush some seriously injured demigods, charm them, and take them as his servants."

"If he really succeeds, then things will get interesting."

"Here he comes! He's made his move. Yue Gu was caught red-handed by Yang Daoren and has suffered serious injuries. In addition, she was bewitched by the Son of the Vortex God earlier, making her perfect to snatch and take as a slave..."

"No, he actually poisoned Daoist Yang. Is he taking revenge?"

"So petty? He retaliated against the Daoist Yang who severely injured him as soon as he recovered from his injuries. Is he really not afraid of being killed in return?"

……

The images that appeared alongside these reward messages clearly showed Li Yu reappearing after disappearing for three days and making his first move.

Its target was not Yue Gu, the "Lord of Guanghan Star" who had been knocked down and was seriously injured, but the Calamity Daoist who seemed to be the embodiment of calamity, with ominous energy permeating the universe.

Taking advantage of the moment when she defeated Yue Gu and forcibly passed on her magic, intending to twist her from the incomparably holy Guanghan Fairy into the Taiyin female beast.

Li Yu launched a surprise attack.
