Chapter 416: Perfect Combat Record

The audience of the myriad worlds had originally foreseen a scene where the Son of the Vortex God was slain on the spot by seven demigods attacking simultaneously.

At most, he would struggle for a moment.

No one expected such a turn of events; even the gods had not anticipated Li Yu’s response.

Thus, in an instant, the comment section exploded again.

When this "correct answer" appeared, everyone could see that Li Yu’s handling of the situation was indeed the most perfect method.

Of course, this was far from the end.

The six demigods, startled for a split second, did not hesitate at all; they simultaneously shifted their targets and focused their fire on their former ally, the Queen Bee.

Showing mercy?

That did not exist.

None of the contestants at the Gate of Myriad Worlds had any real friendship.

The only reason they had been at peace, besides the thrill of hunting Li Yu, was that there was still plenty of time before the final showdown.

Once Li Yu died, infighting would erupt instantly.

Now that they had a legitimate opportunity to strike at an ally, no demigod would miss it, nor would they feel any burden.

The best outcome would be to blast both the Queen Bee and Li Yu into dust.

That was what they thought, and that was what they did.

And before this, the Queen Bee had also received a "kind reminder" from Li Yu.

"Run!"

"The six demigods will not be the least bit polite. You have only one choice now, and that is to flee toward the location of the Black Moon Witch."

"Among them, she is the weakest."

"Since you are now my meat shield, I will also protect you."

To ensure the Queen Bee was completely clear-headed, recognized the cruel reality, and obeyed his words,

Li Yu repeated his old trick, using the divine artifact in his hand to control the Queen Bee’s immensely vast divine body... Only this time, instead of using the Vast Heaven Divine Radiance to control a mass of the Vortex God’s flesh, he used the Spear of Destruction as a control lever to manipulate the Queen Bee’s even larger physical body.

Accompanied by a shrill wail, the Queen Bee took the lead, spewing acidic venom at the six gods and firing hundreds of millions of rainbow needles as fine as ox hair.

Her terrifying body also disregarded everything, pushing through the attacks to ram toward the Black Moon Witch.

Just as Li Yu had said!

The Black Moon Witch was the weakest of the six demigods, making her suitable for a breakout.

The Queen Bee obeyed not only because she was controlled by Li Yu, but also because she agreed with his conclusion.

Yet, while breaking out, Li Yu also felt numerous terrifying expulsions and assassination attempts.

The most numerous were undoubtedly the methods coming from the Queen Bee.

Various "evil eggs" within her body actively hatched, forming a swarm of insects that surged toward Li Yu.

There were also pollutions such as acid and blood toxins.

They attempted to digest Li Yu, the intruder.

Of course, it was all meaningless and easily neutralized by Li Yu. As for the divine abilities coming from the outside, most were blocked by the Queen Bee either actively or passively, and the remaining attacks on his soul were no different from a tickle.

What angered the six demigods even more was!

To avoid the Queen Bee’s frantic and savage ramming, as well as the billions of rainbow needles that could poison them to death, the Black Moon Witch had to clear the path.

With this concession, the Great Black Heaven Moon she had previously cast to suppress the Myriad Change Labyrinth briefly failed.

Li Yu seized this tiny opening.

He shrunk the labyrinth from a distance, folded it into a point of void light, and took it back.

It was equivalent to Li Yu surviving the first round of attacks from the seven gods with almost no loss, then drilling into the Queen Bee’s body to create a more favorable situation.

This turn of events made all seven gods on the field, including the Queen Bee, realize Li Yu’s combat talent.

In some respects, he was even more formidable than many "Blood God Progeny."

It was too perfect!

The gods witnessing the entire process could not find a single flaw to criticize.

And what was even more astonishing was yet to come.

All the spectators thought: Li Yu, having drilled into the Queen Bee, would control her to flee frantically to avoid being surrounded again. After all, once surrounded and killed, being blasted into dust together would only take a breath or two.

At first, this was indeed the action the Queen Bee displayed.

But the moment Li Yu used the "breakout maneuver" to retrieve the Myriad Change Labyrinth,

The Laughing Nightmare, the Undying Blade, the Black Moon Witch, the Profane Twins, the First Rot-Head, and the Calamity Daoist—these six demigods simultaneously struck at the Queen Bee with lethal intent.

This time, it was not even a ranged attack.

They all closed in, intending to tear her apart in an instant and blast Li Yu, who was hiding in her belly, into dust.

Two against six!

And they were not united; there was still no chance of winning.

Normally, the Queen Bee would die first, and Li Yu would be second.

But the scene that followed was completely beyond everyone’s expectations.

A painful hiss suddenly erupted from the Queen Bee’s mouth again.

Immediately, her massive body, as if uncontrolled, actively twisted and turned, abandoning the escape and lunging fiercely at the Laughing Nightmare, the "Cosmic Clown."

The timing, the direction... were precise to an unbelievable degree.

It was as if everything had been calculated.

When everyone realized something was wrong,

A full combo was released in an instant.

First, a "Chronos-Demon Compass" flew out, and as the needle stopped, the space-time there was frozen for one-tenth of a second.

It could have been longer.

But since all seven gods were at the demigod level, even a cosmic wonder formed from the essence of a Chronos-Demon corpse had its power restricted.

However, this time was enough.

Li Yu’s figure suddenly drilled out from the Queen Bee’s bloated cranial region, dripping wet.

Ignoring the insect blood and brain matter all over his body, he held the Spear of Destruction and flashed in front of the Laughing Nightmare.

The process ended!

The seven gods regained their freedom.

They then watched helplessly as Li Yu dragged the "Laughing Nightmare" into a phantasm, causing the eternal, eerie smile on the Cosmic Clown’s face to turn into a mournful expression, which lasted for less than half a second.

But in this time, Li Yu could kill anyone on the field.

The Spear of Destruction pierced directly through the Cosmic Clown’s gaudy head; the divine authority of the fallen terrifying sovereign, the "Lord of Destruction," blasted the Laughing Nightmare’s body and soul into nothingness.

At the very last moment!

Li Yu locked eyes with the "Laughing Nightmare."

Although he did not speak, Li Yu, who was in the state of a Truth Soul Body, understood exactly what was in his heart.

He was unwilling!

As a natural-born demigod whose parents were both divine entities, his innate conditions were excellent; as long as no accidents occurred, he would soon ascend to a minor god.

He had come to participate in the first Infinite Spirit Realm Grand Tournament to gild his reputation, have some fun, and incidentally gain fame to accelerate his ascension to godhood.

How could he die at the hands of a weak legendary-level contestant?

He still had so many bizarre and terrifying divine abilities and forbidden arts that he hadn't used, and now they were all meaningless. At the same time, he was puzzled—puzzled as to how Li Yu dared to do this.

Was he really not afraid of death?

Even if he took a risk and seized this one-in-ten-thousand-second opportunity to kill him here,

What about himself?

One had to know that while Li Yu did this, he also exposed himself to the attack range of the other six demigods, including the "Queen Bee."

The first time he was surrounded, he could dodge by using tricks.

What about this time? Was it still possible?

Li Yu naturally would not kindly provide answers to this "Cosmic Clown," nor did he have the leisure; he moved directly into the next action.

All of this was truly arranged and set, orchestrated by the Truth Soul Body.

Being able to peer into all information as if omniscient naturally allowed for a certain degree of omnipotence.

The instant the Laughing Nightmare turned into nothingness!

Both inside and outside the arena, there was a great commotion.

Especially in the live broadcast, the passionate commentary of the Lord of the Veil erupted:

"A great reversal!"

"In this Infinite Grand Tournament, the first demigod-level powerhouse to fall within the [Gate of Myriad Worlds] is not the Queen Bee, but the Laughing Nightmare."

"He is a natural-born demigod, the product of the union between the Laughing God, a surviving divine entity of the ancient Spirit Race, and another special evil god, the Daughter of Eerie Smiles."

"He was originally a top-seeded contestant."

"But he has fallen now, dead at the hands of a legendary-level contestant."

"His shame will be the glory of the Son of the Vortex God."

"However, the Son of the Vortex God might become the second to perish..."

It was as if to slap the Lord of the Veil in the face.

The subsequent scene once again overturned the instinctive predictions deep within the heart of It and all the spectators.

The Cosmic Clown’s body and soul were both destroyed; the next second, it was naturally time for equipment to drop.

A large quantity of gaudy, strange objects and treasures erupted outward, as if in a "magic performance."

Under everyone’s gaze:

Li Yu reached out and grabbed one of the brass locks.

Instantly, everyone understood his intention and subconsciously made a judgment:

"What courage, what boldness."

"The Son of the Vortex knows that even if he controls the Queen Bee, he cannot escape the pursuit and will be blasted to death in a few breaths."

"So he risks turning back, seizes that fleeting opportunity, kills the Cosmic Clown, and attempts to seize that [Cosmic Lock] to lift the plane seal for half an hour and continue fleeing, all to gain a sliver of survival."

"It seems he has already succeeded halfway?"

"But in all likelihood, it is useless."

"Because he cannot exempt himself from the second round of attacks, and it is a close-quarters assault by six demigods."

"Let alone a Legendary-level contestant like him... even a true divine entity, a weak god, would fall into a state of being heavily wounded and dying in the next moment if they fell into this situation; this is an outcome that fundamentally cannot be reversed."

Just as the spectators reached a consensus again.

The subsequent scenes were displayed one by one:

Li Yu launched an assault to kill the Nightmare, obtained the Cosmic Lock, and unlocked the plane seal... taking half a second.

During this half-second, the [Shield of Nothingness] on Li Yu’s body forcibly withstood the attacks from the three demigods—the Undying Blade, the First Corrupt Head, and the Blasphemous Twins—shattering beyond its limits on the spot.

At the same time, Li Yu used another strange object, the "Holy Grail of Corrupt Life," to forcibly buff himself to the perfect Son of the Vortex form.

The moment he was blasted into a heavily wounded, dying state by the Daoist of Calamity, he completed the bewitchment of the two female demigods, the "Black Moon Witch" and the "Queen Bee."

This caused them to act in unison, entangling and preventing the second encirclement by the other four gods, and they were also beaten into a heavily wounded state as a result.

This moment of respite allowed Li Yu to use the Space-Time Secret Blade to slice open the void.

Once again, like a slippery fish, he drilled into it and disappeared.

Once again, both inside and outside the battlefield, everything fell into a standstill.

All the spectators could not believe what they were seeing!

That Son of the Vortex actually succeeded in escaping?

A Legendary-level prodigy of the Boundless Heaven, while being besieged by seven ferocious demigods, actually managed to break the blockade and escape after just a few rounds?

Unbelievable!

But this is reality.

On the live broadcast screen, violent waves surged.

The commentary from the Lord of the Curtain rang out again, only this time, It finally learned its lesson.

In a tone and words filled with admiration, It no longer asserted that Li Yu would perish:

"Wonderful, truly wonderful."

"The Son of the Vortex has displayed combat talent that crushes a host of divine children, as well as a mastery of timing; he did not waste or miss a single opportunity."

"He only paid the price of his own heavy injuries and the Shield of Nothingness, yet he accomplished an astonishing feat; he not only successfully escaped under the siege of seven demigods but also killed the demigod Nightmare, left the Black Moon Witch and the Queen Bee heavily wounded, and snatched a new strange object, the [Cosmic Lock]—this is simply an unprecedented record."

"Searching throughout the Boundless Spirit Realm, I fear one cannot find a second Legendary-level prodigy who could do this."

"In this process, regardless of whether it was him, the seven demigods, or the plane of the arrival point, if there had been even a one-in-a-billionth-of-a-second mistake or miscalculation, he would have failed and died completely."

"But he did it, as if every turn of events was within his calculations."

"If I were not certain he is the [Son of the Vortex], looking only at his performance, he seems like a God-Chosen one cultivated or crossbred by Me, the Lord of Myriad Changes, the Foolish God, the Blood God, and others, plus some other cunning and treacherous gods—very perfect."

"From this moment on!"

"Regardless of whether the Son of the Vortex can survive the second round and the most brutal third round, it will not affect the fame he has already obtained."

"Among the records of Legendary-level beings, he shall be the leader."

The Lord of the Curtain likes conflict, likes drama, and likes twists.

So obviously, Li Yu had won Its "favor"; if they were not still in the competition, It would likely have already begun bestowing blessings and rewards.

And among the donation messages, besides the Toad God.

Many true god names appeared, including the "God of Sin," "Myriad Changes," "Foolish God," and other divine entities.

This meant.

Li Yu had become a hot commodity.

If he ultimately died inside the Gate of All Worlds, then there was nothing more to say.

But if he came out alive.

It was almost foreseeable that he would trigger a scramble and be coveted by the gods.

The Vortex God, currently in the universe beyond the heavens, suddenly felt waves of extremely intense malice at this moment; one could not tell how many true gods wanted to forcibly snatch Its God-Chosen follower.

Over the long eons, the Vortex God had also tried many times to spread its teachings and develop believers and sects across various multiverses.

But the results were minimal.

Yet who would have expected?

This time, for the sake of Its daughter, Yi Ge, It lent out a portion of Legendary-level divine origin, and the fame gained from it actually crushed all past efforts.

Now, thanks to Li Yu, the name "Vortex God" already resounded throughout the heavens and myriad worlds.

Although the greatest credit for this should be attributed to the Lord of the Curtain and the Gate of All Worlds.

But if not for Li Yu, the one whose fame exploded would not be the Vortex God, but the true god behind some other prodigy contestant.

This deal can be called a super-profitable bargain.
