All laws are treacherous, I am the Spirit Lord

Chapter 423: Complete the Cataclysm Mode Without Loss
Who could have imagined that a favorite to win the championship, a powerful demigod, would die so hastily and abruptly?

The Daoist of Calamity had already sensed the danger and made a move to escape. At that time, the Time-Space Secret Blade had even made a small crack.

But in that half-second delay, He was annihilated, all His strange abilities became ineffective, and His domain of authority became meaningless, gradually annihilating into nothingness.

Meanwhile, the Child of the Vortex God, who also entered this universe, managed to escape.

In the eyes of the audience, the only difference between the two is a bit of luck.

The Taoist priest died because he was a little slow to react and was simply unlucky; it had little to do with Li Yu.

But actually!

If we really want to rank them, this could indeed be considered Li Yu's achievement.

Because Li Yu had calculated the perfect moment to strike, launching a sneak attack that severely injured Yang Daoren, he was subsequently struck by "Cosmic Collapse," which not only worsened his injuries but also caused him to enter the same universe as Li Yu in the second layer of the map due to a chain reaction.

However, they were a step too late.

Afterwards, they had to guard against Li Yu's sneak attack again and sense whether there was any danger. Naturally, they were not as quick to react as Li Yu, who knew all the cosmic disasters from the beginning.

And so He was tricked and killed.

Due to the chain reaction, he became the first player to perish in the second round of the battle royale.

Compared to the Laughing Nightmare and the Queen Bee, who also died because of Li Yu, His combat power is actually a level higher.

Their supernatural powers and magical abilities are truly awe-inspiring.

If it weren't for a series of "coincidences," killing it would have been incredibly difficult.

Unfortunately, he ran into Li Yu.

As it turns out, the blessings bestowed upon this calamity-bringing Taoist by the Lord of Calamity were still no match for those bestowed upon Li Yu, the proper "Lord of Calamity".

To some extent, this can be seen as Li Yu eliminating his rivals in advance. After all, once the Demon Star Tokens are issued on a large scale and the war for the title of Demon Star Token begins, Yang Daoren will definitely be a formidable opponent for Li Yu.

Of course, Li Yu himself did not have such a strong idea.

Even his previous sneak attack on Yang Daoren was primarily aimed at saving Yue Gu; revenge was just a side effect.

Is he, a dignified True Lord of Food, such a petty person?

Li Yu considered himself generous.

The audience across the myriad realms had already hurled the phrase "vengeful" at the Son of the Vortex God.

They all praised him, saying that although he was petty, he had succeeded in getting revenge every time.

Moreover, in these actions, Li Yu's abilities, such as combat talent, luck, cunning and shrewdness, were recognized by the gods.

On the donation and comment interface, several powerful evil gods, including [Blood God], [Evil God], and [Eternal Change], expressed their interest in Li Yu, openly trying to seize the Son of the Vortex God.

The Blood God even directly addressed the Ancient Saint from afar.

He was to show leniency towards the son of the Vortex God during the third round of the pursuit.

This once again caused quite a stir, with many viewers expressing their opinions:
"It's too early to ask the ancient saints to go easy on him. The son of the Vortex God has heaven-defying luck and treacherous methods, but he may not be able to survive the second round."

"The death of the Daoist of Calamity was only partly due to the son of the Vortex God. The key was that he was too unlucky. If he had been a little luckier, he wouldn't have died so hastily."

"These second rounds of cosmic catastrophes are terrifying. Look, another demigod has perished."

"It was that [Lord of Desire], how unlucky. He had clearly witnessed the horror of the cosmic catastrophe, so he chose to break through the boundaries one after another. The average time he stayed in the universe at each landing point on the second layer of the map was less than half a second. Unfortunately, those cosmic catastrophes were random. At the fourth point, he ran into the catastrophe [Voice of Judgment] that had already erupted and was instantly annihilated."

"This is pure luck; even the Son of the Vortex God can't stay lucky forever."

The reason why the audience was so amazed was naturally because of the terrifying combination of the second layer of the map and the cosmic catastrophe.

There's absolutely no pattern to it!

Completely random!

You might pass through several landing points without encountering any natural disasters, but the next one will be a fully unfolded natural disaster, and entering it means certain death.

Most importantly, this is a challenge mode.

It won't give you much breathing room, even if the several landing points you choose don't experience natural disasters, or even if they happen to be the kind of natural disasters you can resist.

All useless!
Because a "plane collapse" that will annihilate everything is following behind, there may be some special beings and divine entities that can resist the collapse in the boundless spirit realm.

However, such beings do not exist within the Gate of All Realms.

This is absolute conceptual annihilation, unless you are more powerful than the Lord of the Veil.

This forces all contestants to go as far as they can, waiting for the third round to begin, and then to pass through the third round, break into the final safe point, and become the world's most anticipated and unparalleled champion of the grand competition.

……

All of this is known not only to the audience, but also to the contestants.

So they temporarily put aside their grudges and focused on escaping for their lives.

Although there were no battle scenes, the atmosphere was not diminished at all; on the contrary, it became even more tense and exciting.

The comment section was flooded with messages, refreshing rapidly.

"Morning Star truly lives up to its reputation as the strongest giant of light. It is incredibly ferocious. After several lucky missteps, it finally encountered the cosmic catastrophe, the Cancer Storm. It managed to withstand the Cancer Storm for a second with its half-finished Divine Kingdom of Authority, successfully escaping to the next landing point and getting away safely."

"The Venerable Nirvana became the third unlucky one, crashing headlong into the already fully unfolded cosmic catastrophe [Death Silence]. His crystal body, which was on the verge of ascending to Buddhahood, instantly became extremely dim and passed away in gray silence."

"The fourth unlucky one is the son of Black Maitreya. The calamity he encountered was the [Embers of the Furnace]. He was instantly burned to nothingness. This calamity is derived from the furnace of a sovereign-level god. Its power is extremely terrifying, but it occurs very rarely."

"That God of Slaughter was indeed a powerful demigod who could fight Morning Star to a standstill. He also withstood a natural disaster called [Howl of Destruction] for more than a second and successfully escaped."

"Another unlucky guy has appeared. It's the Time Stop King. Despite having such a heaven-defying ability as 'time stop,' he ran headlong into the most unsolvable natural disaster, 'dimensional reduction attack,' and was instantly flattened into a paper alarm clock."

"Hey, go check on that Son of the Vortex God, he's still alive!"

"So lucky? Never encountered a natural disaster?"

"No! He encountered more than one natural disaster."

"what?"

As these conversations unfolded, Li Yu's popularity continued to soar.

This is perfectly normal.

Because Li Yu's performance, or rather his "luck," over the past period has been so remarkable that it's impossible to look away.

Now everyone, both inside and outside the arena, knows that if they encounter a natural disaster, even the most powerful demigods will face a near-death experience.

So far, only Morning Star, God of Slaughter, and Undying Blade have survived a natural disaster and are still alive, which is due to luck.

In other words!
If any contestant were to encounter two natural disasters in a row, they would undoubtedly die.

But now, an exception has appeared.

Moreover, he is the son of the Vortex God.

If we rewind a bit, the scene would look like this:
Li Yu was one step ahead of Yang Daoren, escaping into the next descent point universe.

Fortunately, there were no natural disasters, and the weather was calm. However, Li Yu did not stop to rest, but instead took out the cosmic wonder, the Water of Life, while holding the Time-Space Secret Blade in his other hand.

Both hands, moving simultaneously.

He broke through boundaries and drank the strange liquid, revealing his true form, which was both alluring to all beings and a monstrous creature of flesh and blood.

The next moment, he was indeed very unlucky and encountered a natural disaster that had already begun, called the [Quantum Storm], which "killed" Li Yu almost instantly.

However, because he drank the Water of Life in advance, he was in a pseudo-invincible state for a little over a second.

Fully revived, they took the opportunity to escape to the next universe.

The instant he entered, he didn't care whether there were other cosmic catastrophes inside. In a fraction of a second, he continued to break through the boundary. Judging from the momentum of his swinging the spacetime blade, he clearly intended to use that reckless tactic, that is, to ignore everything and keep moving forward, breaking through the boundary.

At the same moment, the Philosopher's Stone flew out from his arms and stood in front of him.

What followed was both a lucky and unlucky moment.

There were no natural disasters in the newly arrived plane.

However, the next point of descent they set foot on was an extremely ferocious natural disaster, the "God-Destroying Meme," which aimed to conceptually annihilate all beings possessing divinity.

This is the most notorious cosmic calamity in the boundless spirit realm.

Of course, for ordinary beings and races, this is also a salvation. Wherever the God-Destroying Meme has passed, it has created many worlds without magic or with low magic, making even the most ferocious evil gods unwilling to touch them.

On the surface, Li Yu is a legendary figure, but in reality, he is already infinitely close to being a demigod.

Therefore, there is no doubt that he was also among those to be eliminated.

Fortunately, he was prepared.

In an instant, the Philosopher's Stone shattered completely, and Li Yu lost another life.

But this still didn't stop him; it even made him more insane.

When he wielded the Time-Space Blade once more, all the strange artifacts within him that could either replace his life or provide a roundabout way to save it—the "Rotten Life Grail," the "Mother Goddess Umbilical Cord," the "Death Note," and the "Cards of Fate"—flew out.

This also caused Li Yu to keep going without stopping, and then swing the Time-Space Secret Blade four more times in succession.

Just when the audience thought that the Son of the Vortex God would rely on this simple and brutal method of exchanging life for life to forcefully get through the second round.

A scene that left all the spectators and gods in the myriad realms speechless unfolded.

The next four landing points that Li Yu entered.

Complete the game without any issues.

It's not because he's so lucky that there are no natural disasters in any of the four universes.

It was Li Yu who was too fast.

There are two universes, each containing two calamities: [Dimensional Reduction Strike] and [Dream of Foolishness], which are likely too great for even top demigods like Morning Star, God of Slaughter, Undying Blade, and First Corruptor to withstand.

However, they are still in the process of being conceived, not yet formed, let alone released.

Li Yu flashed over and naturally passed the level without taking any damage.

This scene sparked another round of discussion.

Just as the audience was getting restless and confused, the narrator of the curtain's incredibly passionate commentary rang out at the perfect moment:

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant."

"The second round of natural disaster mode that I set up completely eliminates the possibility of passing through by luck. No matter who it is, how lucky they are, or what route they choose, they will have to experience at least one cosmic natural disaster."

"If the action is too slow, it will trigger a chain reaction, greatly increasing the difficulty. At best, it will lead to another cosmic catastrophe, and at worst, all subsequent landing points will be cosmic catastrophes."

"This was already a flawless scheme, yet the Son of the Vortex God still managed to find a way through it."

"In other words, if you can be extremely fast and not waste any opportunity, you can take advantage of the fact that the cosmic catastrophe in the core area is still brewing and directly take the lead over all the contestants to enter the deepest safe zone... This requires the contestant to pass through at least nine landing points in ten seconds."

"So far, only the Son of the Vortex God has accomplished this, and the price he paid was two cosmic artifacts."

“If I didn’t have absolute confidence in my authority, I would also have to wonder if the Son of the Vortex God had glimpsed my ‘script’ beforehand.”

"But he's just a legendary little thing. In my eyes, Vortex God is nothing more than a pretty little gadget."

"Therefore, this is his true wisdom."

"I hereby declare that the Son of the Vortex God is now the number one seeded player in this grand competition."

……

From these words, it is not difficult to discern the master's admiration for Li Yu.

Although Li Yu's reckless behavior was a slap in the face to Him.

But the reversal he created pleased Him greatly.

The audience who listened to the explanation also realized the secret behind Li Yu's success in passing the challenge.

The tipping frenzy has once again begun:
"The Son of the Vortex God has passed nine landing points in ten seconds. The other contestants, even those like the Undying Blade of Morning Star, are still halfway there. The lead is too great."

"So he really predicted it perfectly? The moment the natural disaster mode was activated, the Son of the Vortex God was able to find the only chance of survival?"

"I reckon Yang Daoren also deserves credit... After all, the fact that a cosmic catastrophe needs to brew before it erupts is probably something he discovered after witnessing Yang Daoren's death."

"Thinking about it carefully, for the Son of the Vortex God, this really is his only way out. After all, he is only a legendary level, unlike those top demigods who can physically withstand several less severe natural disasters for a second or two. As long as he is not too unlucky, he is likely to get through it."

"The Son of the Vortex God possesses several cosmic artifacts that can replace one's life, but almost anyone would choose to save these artifacts for the third round when facing the [Ancient Saint Projection], but he chose to use them all at once."

"Decisive and ruthless, cunning and treacherous, he passed the natural disaster mode almost unscathed, except for two rare items."

"It's already a miracle that the Son of the Vortex God, a legendary figure, has made it this far. Now I'm starting to hope that he can survive the pursuit of the ancient saints."

Besides the extraordinary audiences across countless realms marveling at the spectacle, even the gods were reacting.

The most obvious one was no longer the joyful cry of the toad god, but a message from the Lord of Myriad Changes.

The eerie dark purple pattern appeared on the message board.

Translated into human script, it clearly expresses that He has set His sights on the Son of the Vortex God, intending to bless and subdue him, and asking the ancient saints to show mercy.

Upon seeing this, all the viewers immediately understood.

The Lord of All Changes is expressing appreciation while simultaneously plotting against the Son of the Vortex God.

Because His message would not only fail to make the ancient saints hold back, but would instead provoke Him to strike with deadly force.

Conversely!

The fact that a mere legendary being could be publicly schemed against by the Lord of Change shows just how much he admires and values ​​it.

It is conceivable that if Li Yu were to survive this, Wan Bian would definitely step in to snatch it and shield him from all trouble.

Most importantly, there are quite a few true gods who hold such thoughts.
