Chapter 416

~14 min read 2,682 words

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

He was wearing an Invisibility Cloak, and except for the "spectators," other Heaven's Pride demigods in the Battle Royale plane could not see him.

Of course, this did not mean he was absolutely safe.

If the Invisibility Cloak were that effective, he wouldn't have been cornered by the seven gods earlier.

In fact, he was still in a dangerous situation now!

Although he created a perfect record: killing Laughing Nightmare, seriously injuring Bee Queen and Black Moon Witch, and successfully escaping from the siege of the seven gods.

But this did not scare off the extremely vicious demigods like "Undying Blade," "First Rot Head," "Daoist Disaster," and "Profane Twins," and even aroused their greater interest.

From the original playful attitude, it turned into a serious hunt.

They even abandoned their mortal enemies, traveling through landing points, trying to dig Li Yu out and kill him.

This was not to take advantage of someone's precarious position!

After all, they all knew that although Li Yu had lost the invincible 【Shield of Nothingness】, he still retained a large number of cosmic curiosities, and coupled with his combat methods that were almost like "combat art," he was already a hot favorite for the championship, not a soft persimmon.

So this actually meant that this group of demigods had already regarded Li Yu as an opponent of the same level with high threat and high value; killing him could bring honor to their own True Gods.

Li Yu knew this point too.

Because while he was hiding, he saw with his own eyes several vicious demigods traveling back and forth, and the killing intent and malice on them were aimed at him.

And the reason Li Yu wasn't discovered, besides the credit of the Invisibility Cloak, was more importantly the Truth Soul Body; he could always cut into the void gaps with the Spacetime Secret Blade with extreme precision, keeping the rhythm, and avoiding all pursuers.

In the eyes of the spectators, he was simply jumping on the edge of death, crazily courting death.

But facing such a dangerous situation, Li Yu did not use the "special medicine," which was another cosmic curiosity he snatched, 【Water of Life】, which could directly heal almost all injuries at once, whether it was the body or the soul, or even some conceptual damage.

Instead, he was slowly relying on himself to heal.

Bit by bit, he was expelling the "Disaster Divinity" in his body that was highly destructive and almost killed him completely.

Regarding this, many spectators were initially puzzled, but soon saw the answer from the comments of several evil gods who had clearly targeted Li Yu and intended to make a move afterward.

Translated into human language, it was roughly like this:

"The Son of the Vortex God is probably really wanting to compete for the championship. Up to now, he is unwilling to waste any means or timing. Although the Water of Life can make him recover instantly, it will also lose a chance to save his life. He is probably thinking of using it in the second and third rounds."

"The Vortex God divinity is quite miraculous, actually able to expel the Disaster divinity at the same time, suppress the price brought by the Holy Grail of Rotting Life, and has an extremely keen perception, avoiding the hunt and search just right every time. I'm afraid it won't take many days for him to return to his peak state."

"He is already worry-free in the first round and still has over a dozen cosmic curiosities on him. In the arena, he is already an absolute demigod level. If it's a one-on-one fight, he is not weaker than any contestant, and even better."

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

"If a Legendary-level Heaven's Pride really suppresses a group of demigods and wins the championship... he will become a true legend."

"It's not that easy. They won't fight for their lives in the first round. Maybe the second round will open, and the death record will only be that cosmic clown... until the end of the third round, that will be the real life-and-death struggle."

Whether the prophecy from a certain evil god will become reality, I don't know for now.

Because the first round is far from over.

Although demigods like Undying Blade and Daoist Disaster really wanted to dig Li Yu out, unfortunately, Li Yu, who had already released the Truth Soul Body, was in a state of "absolute bug."

Within the time limit of truth!

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

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

Peeking at secrets!

As he asked questions randomly, he soon had quite a few gains.

For example, the weaknesses of the group of vicious demigods traveling back and forth in his hiding place, the secrets attached to their divine bodies, etc.

Besides that, there were some more important ones:

"The 【Cosmic Disaster Stage】 of the second round will be released in three days. At that time, starting from the outermost ring, this Battle Royale plane will constantly collapse toward the core area and randomly erupt with disasters such as 【Dead Silence】, 【Scream of Destruction】, 【God-Killing Meme】, 【Quantum Storm】, 【Dimensional Reduction Strike】, etc."

"Each type of disaster, if it hits, is enough to kill any demigod or even a divine entity; it is difficult to have a possibility of survival."

"But because these disasters are not the original versions, but were forcibly replicated and plagiarized by the Master of the Curtain using the power of the Gate of All Realms superimposed with his own narrative authority, each type of disaster has very subtle weaknesses."

"For example, that disaster of Dead Silence!"

"It is a disaster that ravages many planes in the Boundless Spirit Realm, appearing randomly without warning. Once released, all things fall into a state of dead silence. Life that suffers the impact will instantly turn from a living thing into a dead thing."

"But if one has absolute control over flesh and life and can enter the 'dead thing' state in advance, one can maximize the dissipation of this disaster's power... For example, the moment the disaster erupts, turning oneself into a meteorite with kinetic energy, one can take the opportunity to dodge, leave the disaster area, and revive again."

"Or that Dimensional Reduction Strike, a terrifying disaster that compresses all things into paper-like existence. The strength of the power depends on the intensity. The Dimensional Reduction Strike that is currently stirring in this plane is aimed at the demigod level. Once hit, one is immediately folded into a paper space."

"The method of avoidance is..."

No one would have thought.

Li Yu, who seemed to be healing his wounds at this moment, was actually cheating crazily.

If the 【Gate of All Realms】, which connects the heavens and myriad worlds and broadcasts the battle, is compared to a super program that is running, then Li Yu is now peeking at its underlying code.

Just like peeking at the ancient saints earlier, he directly attacked the backend.

All kinds of mysteries could not be hidden from him.

The more he peeked, the more shocked he became, completely immersed in the terrifying "cosmic disasters" and the methods to crack them. The difficulty of the second round of disaster stages, for him, was rapidly dropping from nightmare level and must-die level.

It is estimated that it won't take long before it becomes normal.

And the other demigods are still at the original difficulty.

This differentiated feeling is really joyful.

So much so that the twenty-eighth Truth Bubble was fully charged because of this, and Li Yu didn't pay too much attention to it.

As his cultivation realm skyrocketed, the events he participated in became larger and larger, his fun-seeker attributes were exposed, and the number of times he courted death increased.

The tactic of using peeking to nurture peeking was also releasing its power.

He just used up one bubble!

Immediately, another reserve was added.

Not only was there no loss, but it was a huge profit.

And what surprised Li Yu even more was that he accidentally peeked at another secret.

He had wondered about this before.

A large number of world sons sent by the ancient saints with great difficulty died in the grand competition.

The results were destroyed; why didn't the ancient saints fall out with the Master of the Curtain?

Now, the answer is here:

"As a divine artifact with a very high authority status, the Gate of All Realms has a core function 【Archive】. Life forms that enter this divine artifact will be automatically archived, retaining their essence."

"That is to say, all life that dies in the 【Gate of All Realms】 can actually be revived."

"Of course, revival is also graded."

"There are levels such as a bit of essence, corpse, puppet, weak revival, perfect revival... and so on."

"Each level requires different costs to achieve. The ancient saints do not intend to revive all those dead world sons. They and the Master of the Curtain will only revive the essence to use the world coordinates hidden within."

"The relevant conditions have long been negotiated between the ancient saints and the True Gods behind those world sons."

"The plan for the collapse of the current world is still being pushed forward normally and will start after the grand competition."

While Li Yu was healing and peeking at secrets to cheat, the other demigods were not idle either.

Because Laughing Nightmare, the fun-seeking demigod, was gone to make connections everywhere.

So the hunt for Li Yu ended hastily after they searched several times without results.

Twenty or thirty demigods!

Entered the stage of fighting each other again.

After all, a large part of them were mortal enemies. Since they encountered each other, how could they not fight?

It's just that the "elimination game" expected by Li Yu and many spectators could not be achieved.

Demigod level!

These three words mean a lot.

For example, it is very difficult to be killed, possessing countless means, etc.

Fighting between demigods, unless there is a clear generation gap, or a sudden attack like Li Yu's earlier.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they can fight for hundreds or even thousands of years without a winner.

How long has it been now? Naturally, there won't be any tragic results.

However!

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

Just on the second day.

The number of demigods who died in the arena increased by two more cases.

They were the two female demigods who had been pitted by Li Yu earlier, namely 【Black Moon Witch】 and 【Bee Queen】.

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

Among them, Bee Queen's injuries were the most miserable.

After all, he was first drilled into the belly by Li Yu, then bewitched, and tried his best to prevent the attack on Li Yu, eventually being seriously injured and dying, unable to even escape.

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

Bee Queen was directly swallowed by "Black Moon Witch," who was less injured.

But her move was also a miscalculation. She was already seriously injured and had to forcibly devour other demigods. Even if there were homologous points in attributes, she couldn't refine them quickly at all.

So not long after!

She was killed by "Undying Blade," who returned to the landing point universe.

A full and abundant vitality was all absorbed.

However, these two scenes did not shake Li Yu's position as number one in popularity, even though he was just hiding in a secret gap to heal his wounds and did nothing.

But on the third day, the situation changed.

Perhaps because they found that Li Yu's hide-and-seek skills were really powerful, all the vicious demigods gave up hunting Li Yu.

Instead, they targeted the six demigods of the Righteous God camp!

The arena directly turned from a one-on-one fighting mode to a faction battle.

This was also unavoidable.

Although they were all demigods, the difference between righteous gods and evil gods was too obvious, so it was perfectly normal to divide into factions.

Although because of Li Yu, the evil god faction lost three members right from the start.

Laughing Nightmare, Bee Queen, and Black Moon Witch.

But to be honest, the combat power of these three demigods was not top-notch, and it had almost no impact.

If it were Morning Star, Undying Blade, or First Rot Head who fell, the situation would be completely different.

Unfortunately, Li Yu was not sure he could kill these few either.

Although he had already quietly hooked them, he could only achieve subtle influence and weak control, not reaching the point of killing them easily.

He attacked the "cosmic clown" not only because he held the Cosmic Lock in his hand, but also because he wanted to pick soft persimmons.

And so!

As soon as the faction war broke out, the Righteous God camp fell into a disadvantage without any surprise.

Although the six, Killing God, Martial Saint, Nirvana Venerable, Zhang Tianshi, Time-Stop King, and Moon Lady, all had extraordinary combat power.

Especially the first three, they were not weaker than Morning Star, Undying Blade, and First Rot Head.

The support of the Time-Stop King was also heaven-defying.

But it was still not enough to make up for the disadvantage in numbers.

The unprecedented fierce fighting and melee, coupled with the special environment of the Gate of All Realms, made all the spectators trance, as if they were watching a war at the multiverse level.

Because of this, Li Yu lost his throne as number one in popularity for the first time.

Until many spectators noticed that this guy had recovered from his injuries at some point.

But he didn't participate in the war, but like a fun-seeking god who "eats melons," he was running around in various landing point battlefields.

At the same time, he was hiding very tightly and didn't expose himself at all.

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

"According to the faction division, it seems that the Vortex God is not in the righteous or evil camp, but a chaotic alien god, so which side will he participate in?"

"Although he possesses a full set of divine artifacts, he is cautious by nature. In order to pass the next two rounds, I'm afraid he wants to sneak attack some seriously injured demigods, bewitch them, and take them as slaves."

"If he really succeeds, it will be interesting."

"It's coming, it's coming, he made a move. Moon Lady was cornered by Daoist Disaster and has already suffered not-light injuries. Coupled with the fact that she was bewitched by the Son of the Vortex God earlier, it is just right to snatch her and take her as a slave..."

"No, he actually made a vicious move on Daoist Disaster. Is he taking revenge?"

"So petty? As soon as he recovered from his injuries, he took revenge on Daoist Disaster who seriously injured him earlier. He's really not afraid of being counter-killed."

The scene presented with these tipping comments was exactly that Li Yu appeared again three days after disappearing and made a move for the first time.

His target was not "Star Lord of Guanghan," Moon Lady, who had fallen into the dust and was seriously injured, but Daoist Disaster, who seemed to be the incarnation of disaster, with ominous Qi permeating the universe.

Taking advantage of the moment he defeated Moon Lady and forcibly preached, wanting to twist her from the holy Guanghan Fairy into a Taiyin female beast.

Li Yu, fiercely launched a sneak attack.
