All laws are treacherous, I am the Spirit Lord

Chapter 426 A Shocking Reversal! The Ancient Saint's Avatar is Killed
The barely perceptible smile on Li Yu's lips was finally noticed by the ancient saint's clone.

Before He could react.

New reversals and changes occurred immediately.

Every word Li Yu uttered was a blasphemy against the ancient sages:

"It turns out that the most ancient god of magic, flesh and blood, taboos, and transformation in the boundless spirit world was actually an old lizard."

"Many true gods have lain on your sacred altar, and you have transformed countless races. Why didn't you ever think of making yourself look better, or... smarter?"

If nothing else changes, anyone would take Li Yu's two sentences as an outburst before his death.

But now, all the audience members can hear it.

This is a mockery by the Son of the Vortex God, and an insult to the appearance and wisdom of the ancient saint's avatar.

Including the gods!

At that moment, every audience member was screaming inside.

How dare he?
How dare a mere legendary son of the Vortex God be so unscrupulous?

If the ancient saint were truly enraged, He might actually go beyond the heavens and kill even the Vortex God. How could you, a mere descendant of a follower, possibly go completely mad?

Even a deathbed madness wouldn't be this extreme.

But soon, the incredible scream turned into a gasp of surprise.

Because the very moment Li Yu finished speaking!
With a "bang," his alluring, flesh-and-blood body vanished.

Instead, there is a card made of some kind of illusory metallic material, and another cosmic artifact, the Dream Helmet.

The latter's effectiveness is self-evident.

The image on the card was a bizarre and gorgeous figure dressed in strange clothes, seemingly made of countless colors of ink.

That appearance was known to all the gods; it was another renowned sovereign-level true god in the boundless spirit realm: the Foolish God.

This card undoubtedly comes from the cosmic artifact it forged, the "Cards of Destiny." This is actually a deck of cards, and the cards of destiny within it all have wonderful uses, the most common being to bestow good or bad luck.

The trump card among them is the Sovereign Card, which is a manifestation of the divine essence of the Foolish God.

It means... to fool!
On the card, a face with a sly, mocking expression appeared, slowly speaking:

"In order to 'fool' the great ancient saints."

"I drew countless cards of fate and paid a considerable price before I finally drew this Fool God card."

"But it's worth it. Since your clone can be fooled by it, doesn't that mean your true self is also no match for the [Foolish God]?"

"Enjoy it!"

"If you can get out alive, you can come back to hunt me down."

"Ok?"

These words from the face of the foolish god were clearly preordained by the son of the vortex god.

Once finished.

Not only the ancient sages were puzzled.

Even the audience and the gods were unaware of what had happened.

How could the ancient sages have been fooled?
What does it mean to come out alive?

Could it be that the Son of the Vortex God has already completed the deadly trap set for the ancient saint without anyone noticing?

The live stream did indeed offer a God's-eye view, but it still had many blind spots. Otherwise, the true nature of all the prodigies would have been exposed during the entire live stream.

As for how much can be concealed, that depends on the contestant's own skills.

In the eyes of the audience, Li Yu, the son of the Vortex God, is very good at hiding his identity. No one noticed that he replaced himself with the Card of Destiny, nor did anyone see him draw the Card of Destiny multiple times.

It should be noted that although this cosmic artifact is miraculous, each extraction comes at a price, and it is difficult to do so silently.

In reality, Li Yu's words were still a form of deception.

Because he did not draw multiple times, he took the Dominator Card on his first draw within the time limit of the release of the Soul of Truth.

In addition to being able to deceive the Ancient Saints, the Dream Helmet also played a crucial role.

As for whether it can trick the ancient saints?

Can they pull off a comeback and win the championship?

The most important and crucial moment has arrived.

Just as the words "Foolish God Card" were uttered, and the ancient saint's mentality was also affected, the moment came.

The entire universe underwent an incredible transformation.

It was as if a layer of illusion, a layer of paint, was being slowly peeled away.

The real yet unfamiliar point of arrival has now been revealed.

Empty!
The Son of the Vortex God was nowhere to be seen.

Yes, it is a cosmic catastrophe that has long permeated this plane and has been released for a long time.

As for what kind of natural disaster it was?
The answer will be revealed immediately.

Besides the ancient saints who were outsiders, there were also several cosmic artifacts floating in the void, such as the Grail of Corruption, the Holy Scepter, and the Helmet of Dreams.

These three things are changing.

In the blink of an eye, the three-dimensional, vibrant wonder turned into a piece of paper.

Some terrifying divine authority descended from a higher dimension.

Whether it's a cosmic wonder or not!
Or whatever.

None of them could resist this authority.

This also includes the projection of the Ancient Saint, whose avatar only possessed demigod-level power.

The moment He saw the three wondrous objects flattened into sheets of paper.

The "aura of intellectual depletion" that had been surrounding Him, brought by the Foolish God Card, has finally dissipated.

He immediately knew what had happened.

He immediately recalled what terrible trick he had been tricked into.

At the same time, he understood why Li Yu didn't flee to the safer area, but instead chose to go to the opposite direction of the cosmic catastrophe and cosmic collapse that was taking place, as if courting death.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"No!"

This was the last act of defiance from the ancient saint's avatar, letting out a roar of unwilling anger.

It should be noted that when faced with this cosmic catastrophe called "Dimensional Reduction Strike," the demigod Time Stop King from the Celestial Crafts Sect couldn't even utter a sound before being flattened into a paper alarm clock.

But that's all there is to it.

No matter how unwilling He was, He could not escape the fate.

If He hadn't been fooled or delayed, even if He had accidentally stumbled into this lower-dimensional universe, He could have escaped with a single thought.

However, He can no longer do it now.

The moment the mystery was revealed, the dimensional reduction attack had already landed on Him.

It was less than a tenth of a second slower than the three strange objects, and it too was "whooshed" into a flat piece of paper.

From the audience's omniscient perspective, it was clearly a lifelike sticker of a lizardman, who was holding two strange objects in his hands: the Spear of Destruction and the Skull of the Blood God.

Look at it, it's both majestic and imposing, yet also somewhat comical.

When this happens!
The live stream camera, controlled by the master of the curtain, started spinning rapidly and instantly captured Li Yu's figure again.

They were incredibly close, right next to each other's landing points.

A pair of hands reached out into the void, unveiling the cloak of invisibility. The Spacetime Blade sliced ​​through the dimensional barrier, and through the gap in the rift, Li Yu saw the fate of the Ancient Saint. Instantly, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

His smile caused the long-stagnant comment section to erupt completely.

The narration by the Master of the Curtain was more passionate and exciting than ever before.

It was as if anyone could feel His joy, and if Li Yu could appear before Him at this moment, He would surely bestow blessings upon Him.

He is more than just the master of the curtain.

What Li Yu had just witnessed allowed him to instantly win over countless powerful divine entities, including the Myriad Changes, the Foolish God, and the Toad God.

"Incredible!"

"I can't believe it!"

"This is simply the most outstanding plot twist in this competition so far."

"The legendary Son of the Vortex God, with his extremely cunning schemes and combat talent that even the Blood God envied, successfully fooled and killed a demigod-level ancient saint avatar."

"Clearly, from the very beginning, the Ancient Saint had fallen into the trap set by the Son of the Vortex God."

"The moment He was trapped in the [Maze of Ever-Changing Things], the target had already been replaced."

"He shattered the labyrinth, seized the artifact, caught up with the Son of the Vortex God, and easily suppressed him... Throughout this process, it was all an illusion created by the Dream Helmet of the Fool God Kadeer."

"The purpose is to lure the ancient saints into a plane filled with 'dimensional reduction attacks' caused by cosmic catastrophes."

"There, even if the ancient saints possessed numerous forbidden magic spells and had immortal divine bodies, they could not escape the fate of turning into paper."

"The son of the Vortex God took a trick and used almost all of his cosmic treasures as bait in order to complete the deception."

"But he accomplished yet another miraculous and perfect feat!"

"With a legendary body, he killed a projection of a Sovereign-level True God."

"This is a record that will likely be almost impossible to surpass for a long future."

"Even if the champion of this grand competition is not the son of the Vortex God, he will still win his own extraordinary fame."

……

Despite the fact that the Lord of the Veil and the Old Ones are allies in the matter of the plan to destroy the present world.

But the Grand Tournament is a theatrical event presided over by the Lord of the Curtain.

Therefore, when He explained, He didn't give the ancient saints the slightest bit of face.

Every word seemed to be a resounding slap in the face to the ancient sage.

Meanwhile, on the message board, some true gods who already had grudges against the ancient saints were now in a frenzy of celebration.

While praising the Son of the Vortex God, they also frantically belittled the Ancient Saints.

Without him!

This is such a rare opportunity.

Although the ancient saint was not as infamous as the "Lord of All Changes," his fondness for transforming and distorting prosperity offended no fewer true gods and races.

But He has a deep foundation and his methods are beyond imagination, so there is no room for him to be ridiculed.

Now that this has happened, it's perfectly normal for people to take advantage of the situation and kick someone when they're down.

"He really is a freak. How did the Son of the Vortex God manage to do that?"

"The plan explained by the Lord of the Veil was indeed feasible, and the Ancient Saints were indeed tricked and killed in the end, but it still feels unbelievable."

"If another demigod-level player were in the same situation and given the same amount of cosmic artifacts... he would not be able to do what the Son of the Vortex God did. He would not even be able to kill the ancient saint's avatar, let alone escape."

“I understand! The Son of the Vortex God has probably been plotting against the Ancient Saint’s clone ever since he killed the [Sage of Fate]. That’s why he risked offending all the contestants to frantically seize those cosmic artifacts. After all, if any one of those artifacts is missing, the plot cannot be completed.”

"Even if a true god skilled in intrigue and scheming were to do this, it would only amount to this much, but the Son of the Vortex God is still a legendary figure."

"His luck is too incredible. If his plan goes wrong even by one step, or if there is even the slightest unknown disturbance, he will surely fail... For example, if the ancient saint's avatar descends and doesn't waste words with him, but instead strikes him dead on the spot, then even if the son of the vortex god has countless schemes, it will all be in vain."

"Is it really just luck? Is it possible that the Son of the Vortex God began scheming the moment he met the Sage of Fate, deliberately displaying his value to entice the ancient saint to develop a love for talent, then recruiting him after his arrival, only to reject and humiliate him later..."

"Hiss! That's quite possible, because it's not just the ancient saints who have been tempted; the Myriad Changes, the Foolish God, the Evil God, the Blood God, and so on, have all expressed their intention to seize it."

These are the comments from the audience.

This fully demonstrates that as long as a miraculous goal is achieved.

No matter how incredible!

People will always fill in the blanks and analyze the situation for him.

Of course, some of it was indeed correct.

No one could have imagined this, including the ancient saints who were tragically killed.

The truth is actually simpler: Li Yu was cheating. The opening of the Truth Soul Body allowed him to find the only way out and also enabled him to precisely calculate every step without making any mistakes.

The one closest to the truth is the Toad God.

So He laughed heartily, and this joy made Him extremely satisfied.

Although He did not know the whole story, He only regarded Li Yu as the most outstanding "successor" of the Spirit Lord, which is why He was able to achieve this miraculous reversal.

And after the wave of surprise subsided.

The audience gradually returned to rationality.

On the live stream screen, there were even more comments expressing pessimism about Li Yu.

It's not that I think Li Yu will fail, but that I believe he can't win the championship.

That makes perfect sense.

After all, even the Lord of the Curtain said in a roundabout way that even if the Son of the Vortex God didn't win the championship, his fame would still explode.

The main point is that at this point in time, the gap between him and other demigod-level players had become so huge that it was despairing.

In order to kill the ancient saint's clone, Li Yu had no choice but to go in the opposite direction.

And so at this moment, on the third layer of the map!
Li Yu and the other demigod-level geniuses appeared at opposite ends.

In other words, the strongest players have already reached the safe zone and started competing, while Li Yu is still in the poison circle.

Even if he turned his head at this moment and rushed on his way, he would at most catch a glimpse of the final champion's back.

However, that's one way of putting it.

When the audience saw that Li Yu remained unmoved, they became even more surprised and suspicious:
"Has the Son of the Vortex God completely given up? Why is he not moving at all?"

"He has used up all his cosmic artifacts. Even if he makes it to the final battlefield, he won't be able to compete. Any demigod could easily kill him."

"Even so, he should hurry to a safe place. If he stays there, he will die in the plane collapse."

"No, that's not right."

"Look, he's taken out another cosmic artifact. What is he going to do with it?"

"Death Note? He's already tricked and killed the ancient saints. Isn't that enough? Does he want to use this strange object to kill them again?"

"In a sense, that ancient saint's avatar is not dead yet. After all, the dimensional calamity only flattens it into a two-dimensional creature, not kills it directly. Even that unlucky [Time Stop King] is still alive, in the form of a paper doll."

"So, he's planning to kill another fictional character?"

These comments were made before they surfaced.

Having already learned from past mistakes, the Master of the Curtain was the first to notice Li Yu's unusual behavior.

The live stream camera was locked on Li Yu.

Watching him slowly take out the last cosmic artifact, the Death Note, the page he opened clearly showed the methods of death of the ancient saint's clones.

Before the audience could get a good look, Li Yu suddenly picked up his pen again.
