All laws are treacherous, I am the Spirit Lord

Chapter 425 Reversal and Reversal

Although Li Yu already knew that facing the ancient saint's avatar would be extremely ominous and a dead end.

All the "dangers" he had experienced in the past, even if added together and multiplied, might not be as great as the threat posed by the ancient sages.

This is an extremely ancient ruler with profound foundations, wielding various powers.

Even if what came was just a projection of His avatar, it was most likely still limited to the demigod level by the Lord of the Veil.

But so what?
Can clones of the same realm, originating from a ruler and from an ordinary deity, be considered the same thing?

If it were any other true god projecting their demigod-level power, it would be absolutely impossible for them to unleash such a suffocating level of forbidden combo techniques in an instant.

It stands to reason!
Having experienced this terrifying intimidation, Li Yu should immediately give up any thoughts of surrender.

The spectators watching the battle at this moment, after hearing the Lord of the Curtain's commentary and putting themselves in the shoes of the Son of the Vortex God, all had the same thought.

To survive.

Being arrogant at first and then obsequious isn't really shameful.

If you die, you really lose everything.

These ideas are all correct.

However, Li Yu's thoughts at this moment were not to surrender, but in the completely opposite direction.

It is precisely because no one can see his thoughts that, otherwise, if they were exposed, it would shock all the heavens and the myriad worlds.

The power displayed by the demigod-level projection of the Ancient Saint greatly satisfied Li Yu.

"When I pop a bubble and open the body of truth, I naturally want to maximize my benefits."

"For example, the championship of the first Boundless Grand Competition is something you can't miss if you can win it."

"The key to winning the championship really lies in whether I can make use of the power projection of the [Ancient Saint], a demigod level."

"Well, before that, I really do need to die once."

Li Yu had the idea and immediately put it into action.

No.

The one making a move now is, after all, an ancient saint. The combined power of the three forbidden techniques of the universe makes the danger even greater than when he was surrounded and killed by the "Seven Gods" before.

After all, Li Yu still had the strength to resist the Seven Gods and could find loopholes.

But in this moment, facing the enraged Ancient Saint, he could not even move a finger, except for his thoughts.

The only thing to do is not to struggle, resist, or surrender, but to willingly face death.

Let that "spirit-extinguishing storm" erase its concept.

Was Li Yu tired of living?

Naturally not.

He lost the initiative and fell into the control of the ancient sage.

To continue the struggle, one must first break free; otherwise, one will be at the mercy of others.

Therefore, dying once is inevitable.

Fortunately, Li Yu seemed to have been prepared for this.

The death was incredibly smooth and effortless.

Just this one scene!
This has left countless viewers and even the gods in a state of confusion.

The tipping and commenting interface saw another small surge:
"How could this be? This shouldn't be happening!"

"Although an Ancient Saint Avatar is indeed a hopeless opponent, given the unbridled nature of the Son of the Vortex God, how could he possibly offer no resistance whatsoever?"

"He just perished like that? Even if he was completely countered by the Ancient Saint in the realm of flesh and blood, surely he shouldn't have been unable to even put up a struggle?"

"The son of the Vortex God has always been cunning and treacherous. Since he dared to refuse the ancient saint's offer of surrender, how come he didn't even have a backup plan?"

A great deal of doubt and questioning has yet to erupt.

The answer came right away the next second.

The moment Li Yu died.

The universe at which it descended suddenly underwent a tremendous change.

An incredibly domineering surge of purplish-black divine energy was released, giving rise to a large number of black clouds and chunks of flesh, filling every corner of the universe.

The rhythm of life overflows from it.

The "amniotic fluid-like" aura, filled with divine authority such as repair, motherhood, and gestation, seemed to transcend the concept of time and space, permeating the universe.

The change happened so fast that even the ancient sage couldn't react in time.

Less than a tenth of a second!
The empty landing point here has transformed into a bizarre and terrifying womb-like universe.

Now everyone understood what Li Yu was going to do.

He activated the rebirth-type cosmic artifact, the Mother Goddess's Umbilical Cord, which was indeed dead but about to be resurrected.

Just as the audience was wondering when the Son of the Vortex God had arranged the umbilical cord.

The ancient sage, however, looked first towards the edge of the universe.

There, countless purplish-black umbilical cords connect to an "embryo" the size of a star, and the embryo has already opened its mouth, with the other end in another unknown universe.

The Lord of the Curtain's explanation was precise:

"The Son of the Vortex God is as cunning as ever, and he did not disappoint the audience."

"Knowing he was no match for the ancient saint's avatar, he prepared the [Mother Goddess's Umbilical Cord] in advance and set the exit for resurrection in another plane."

"Clearly, he's about to start playing hide-and-seek with the ancient saints."

"But can this really stop an avatar of a supreme ancient god, even if this avatar only has the power of a demigod?"

"He will not stop his pursuit until the Son of the Vortex reaches a safe point."

"Of course, the projection of the true god that hunts down other demigod prodigies is also set up in the same way."

The words had barely left his mouth.

A horrifying change followed.

The ancient sage didn't even snort, making his move silently.

With a wave of his hand, he wiped away all the flesh and blood, including the divine womb, that came into view.

In person!

The Ancient Sage and the Mother of All Ages are evenly matched, and the latter may even be slightly stronger.

But the ancient saint was a living projection of his own form, and the Mother Goddess's umbilical cord was merely a counterfeit artifact that had been replicated.

Being able to hold out for even a second is already quite an achievement.

In that one second of delay, Li Yu was born and resurrected.

Of course, he can be considered a premature baby.

Another empty landing point in the universe!
Li Yu's delicate body, as the son of the Vortex God, slowly rose from the purplish-red amniotic fluid, representing the divine fusion and collision between the "Vortex God" and the "Mother of All Ages".

If this scene were witnessed by countless ordinary people, it would be enough to cause a great disaster.

But the audience now consists of extraordinary powerhouses and gods from all the myriad realms.

Therefore, it did not cause any disaster!
On the contrary, it triggered screams.

The "Evil God" was particularly excited.

His projection, which descended upon Wanfu City, directly released the psychic shriek that had destroyed the ancient spirit race, nearly wiping out half of Wanfu City's inhabitants, until the Lord of the Veil cast a spell to gag him.

But what He wanted to express was also very clear.

He has his sights set entirely on the Son of the Vortex God!

If the ancient sage fails this time, then He will surely take action again later.

The rest of the audience and the gods ignored the evil god's screams and focused only on the tense aftermath.

Everyone knows!

Li Yu appeared to have escaped, but in reality, he was still teetering on the brink of death.

After all, the Mother Goddess's umbilical cord only has one chance; once it's used up, it's gone. He had already used up his two lives: the Water of Life and the Philosopher's Stone.

In other words, if they are caught up again, they will surely die.

The ancient sage was first rejected by the son of the vortex god, and then humiliated.

He simply couldn't contain his anger and murderous intent.

Without hesitation, they gave chase. For an ancient saint, traversing dimensions was incredibly simple; there was no need for a spacetime secret blade.

But the ancient saint had just passed through and only had time to see Li Yu's back as he fled to the next plane with the secret blade in his hand.

Seeing this, He did not get angry but laughed instead:

"Little thing, you can't escape."

"Especially since you were in a panic and ran in the wrong direction."

"Once you fall into my hands, you will receive great liberation and great fortune."

"Since you are unwilling to join my ranks and ascend to godhood, then ascend on my [Sacred Altar]."

The ancient sage finally spoke again, seemingly his anger had subsided and he had found pleasure in teasing Li Yu.

The divine pronouncements it uttered ignored the dimensional barriers and went directly into Li Yu's ears.

At the same time, His mysterious body, which was smaller than that of an ordinary human and shrouded in the Chaos Robe, ignored the barrier and appeared behind Li Yu in an instant.

It seemed the son of the vortex god was about to be captured.

A subtle change occurred suddenly.

Before the ancient saint's avatar could even extend its hand, the scene before them suddenly changed.

A familiar scene emerges and envelops it.

It is a "maze of endless changes" composed of countless secret mirrors.

Clearly, He had fallen into a trap.

However, the ancient sage didn't care; it was just a pirated artifact, not the original.

Even a demigod like the "Martial Saint" was only trapped for a moment, let alone Him.

But just as He was about to leave.

Before his eyes, another unexpected event occurred.

With a roar powerful enough to shake the multiverse, a terrifying head emerged from the depths of the labyrinth, and amidst the surging crimson flames, it transformed into a terrifying demon god that shook the heavens and earth, charging towards Him.

Before the demon god even arrived, the entire labyrinth and the universe were instantly submerged in the "blood swamp".

What's even more terrifying is what happens in the next moment.

This scarlet demon god seemed to possess the authority over time and space, and in an instant, it appeared before the ancient saint.

In his hand, he was holding a pirated "Gun of Destruction".

Even an avatar as powerful as the Ancient Saint couldn't help but slightly change its expression for this moment.

Meanwhile, the outside world is experiencing even more excitement.

The gods and the audience all thought that the cunning and shameless son of the vortex god would not let himself be hunted down and would definitely have some kind of response.

But no one expected it to turn out like this.

At this moment, almost all the viewers focused their attention on this battle royale where the odds were heavily against each other.

Although the performances of the other demigod-level prodigies were also impressive, Li Yu stole the show.

It's so tense, so suspenseful.

On the message board, besides the shriek of the evil god...

Two more of the four great evil gods of the chaotic universe joined in the laughter.

It is the Blood God and the Myriad Changes!

After all, they live in the same multiverse, and over the long years, they have often fought against each other, so their relationship is not good.

Watching Li Yu use the "Ever-Changing Maze" and the "Skull of the Blood God" to toy with the ancient saint.

Both of these evil gods were thus pleased.

If this were outside, Li Yu might be blessed by both gods at the same time because of this scene.

The Lord of the Curtain, who greatly enjoys plot twists, reacted particularly strongly to this:

"Counterattack! The Son of the Vortex God's counterattack has arrived!"

"Who would have thought? Faced with the pursuit of an avatar of a supreme ancient god, the son of the Vortex God, who is only of legendary strength, actually dared to set a trap halfway and attempt to capture and kill the projection of an ancient saint."

"The ever-changing maze combined with the Blood God's Skull, and then the Destruction Spear... it's simply a perfect way to utilize these wondrous artifacts. If it were any other player on the battlefield, even someone like Morning Star, the Undying Blade, or the God of Slaughter, they would be caught off guard and killed by a sneak attack."

"It was wonderful, but also a pity."

"Using this against other players would be the perfect, deadly plan."

"But this plan has far too many flaws when used to deal with the ancient saint's clone."

"For example, if he runs in the wrong direction, why not escape to a safer area? Along the way, he can also divert trouble to other top contestants and the projections of the true gods who are chasing them, causing a great melee, which is perfect for fishing in troubled waters."

"Also, why didn't he use the [Dream Helmet] and the [Death Note]? If he had used those two items, the Ancient Saint's clone might have been seriously injured."

"Perhaps the difference in their status is too great, the son of the Vortex God is no longer as cunning as before."

These lines also won the approval of the audience, making them practically a stand-in for the dialogue.

The methods of diverting blame and taking advantage of the chaos.

In fact, this solution was devised by viewers from all over the world who put themselves in Li Yu's shoes.

It may not be effective, but it's practically the only way out.

The master of the curtain, who was repeatedly humiliated by Li Yu.

At this moment, it seems that the prediction has finally come true.

His explanation had just ended.

Inside the maze, the outcome of the duel has been decided.

It's unbelievable, but upon reflection, it makes perfect sense:
Beneath the chaotic robe, a lizard claw emerged and, empowered by layers of magical auras, forcefully clamped down on the Blood God's spear of destruction.

The other lizard claw clashed with the Blood God's.

After paying the price of having the Chaos Robe shattered.

The Blood God was forced back to his original form.

It was transformed back into the Blood God's Skull, a cosmic marvel, and held in the hands of the ancient saint who had revealed his true form.

The stolen Spear of Destruction was swung with such force that all the surrounding secret mirrors collapsed, shattering the labyrinth.

It is also a combo consisting of three forbidden techniques.

Li Yu had no choice but to commit suicide.

However, the ancient saint's clone easily resolved the situation.

The difference between the two!
It's clear at a glance.

Just as the audience from all the heavens and myriad worlds saw the appearance of the ancient saint's avatar and were about to speak,

The ancient saint's clone seemed to have grown tired of the chase and decided to switch directly to a modification surgery.

Suddenly, he took a step forward!
In an instant, it traversed two cosmic planes simultaneously and teleported directly in front of Li Yu.

The son of the Vortex God, who had just used the three great cosmic artifacts to trap the ancient saint and then escaped.

Looking up, I saw the ancient saint's clone again, as if by magic.

The familiar lizard claws rose, and the dimensional seal, the cosmic rejection, and a new secret technique, [Life Imprisonment], were superimposed, instantly capturing Li Yu.

Seemingly noticing the "unwillingness" and "doubt" in the eyes of the Son of the Vortex God, the Ancient Saint's avatar chuckled and said:
"You are cunning, but too greedy."

"Since you know that the [Crimson Grail] and the [Holy Scepter] are wondrous artifacts I forged, why not discard them?"

"With this in my possession, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I can arrive at your doorstep with a single thought."

After saying that, the ancient sage slightly beckoned with his lizard finger, and the two strange objects in Li Yu's arms indeed floated out.

When this scene occurs.

The comments section was filled with sighs.

Almost all the viewers felt that the Son of the Vortex God had failed.

However, not a single viewer angrily criticized Li Yu for being unworthy of his abilities.

Unfortunately, as the Lord of the Curtain said, the difference in their social standing is too great.

But it was in that very second.

Many viewers and gods noticed something amiss first: the imprisoned Son of the Vortex God showed no fear whatsoever, but instead revealed a smile of triumph after his scheme had succeeded.
