after all, once the Master of the Demon Star Order titles were widely distributed in the later stages and the title war began, Daoist Yang would certainly have been a formidable rival to Li Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Li Yu himself had no such strong intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the earlier ambush on Daoist Yang had the primary purpose of saving Yue Gu;

He clearly saw the terror of the cosmic disasters, so he chose to break through boundaries repeatedly, staying in each arrival-point universe on the second map layer for less than half a second on average. Unfortunately, those cosmic disasters are random; at the fourth location, he ran headfirst into the already erupted disaster [Judgment Sound] and was annihilated in an instant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is pure luck now; the Son of the Vortex God cannot keep having such good luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason the spectators sighed like this was naturally due to the terror of the second map layer combined with cosmic disasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No pattern!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely random!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is very likely that you could break through several arrival points without encountering a disaster, but the next one could be a fully unfolded disaster, and entering it means death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, this is a clearance mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It won't give you much room to breathe, even if several arrival points you choose have no disaster eruptions, or happen to be the kind of disaster you can resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is all useless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the \"Plane Collapse\" that destroys everything follows behind.

After luckily stepping into empty space many times, he finally had the bad luck to encounter the cosmic disaster [Cancerous Storm]. He actually used a semi-finished Authority Divine Kingdom to resist the cancerous wind for one second and successfully escaped into the next arrival point, getting away safely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Venerable Nirvana has become the third unlucky one, crashing headlong into the already fully unfolded cosmic disaster [Dead Silence]. That Glazed Dharma Body, which might have ascended to Buddha at any moment, instantly became incomparably dim and entered Parinirvana in gray, silent stillness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fourth unlucky one is the Son of the Black Maitreya.

But Li Yu did not stop to rest; instead, he took out the cosmic wonder [Water of Life], while his other hand gripped the space-time secret blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both hands acted simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking through the boundary, drinking the wonder, and revealing that true form which was enough to charm all living beings but was also a bloody, evil thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he was indeed very unlucky, encountering a disaster that had already unfolded, called [Quantum Storm], which \"killed\" Li Yu almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because he had drunk the Water of Life in advance, he was in a pseudo-invincible state for the duration of over a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He resurrected at full health and took the opportunity to escape to the next universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he entered, he didn't care if there were other cosmic disasters inside; within a ten-thousandth of a second, he continued to break through the boundary. Looking at the inertia of him waving the space-time secret blade, he was clearly planning to use that brute-force tactic—that is, not caring, not stopping, just breaking through boundaries all the way forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment, the \"Philosopher's Stone\" in his bosom flew out, hovering in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What followed was a scene that was both lucky and unlucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plane he had just descended into had no disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next arrival point he stepped into was the extremely ferocious disaster [God-Killing Meme], which implements conceptual erasure against all beings possessing divinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the most notorious type of cosmic disaster in the Boundless Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, for ordinary beings and races, this is also a salvation; wherever the God-Killing Meme pollution passes, it creates quite a few non-magic worlds or low-magic worlds, making even the most ferocious evil gods unwilling to touch them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, Li Yu is at the Legendary level, but in secret, he has long been infinitely close to a demigod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, undoubtedly, he was also on the list for erasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he had been prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the Philosopher's Stone shattered completely, and Li Yu lost another life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this still did not make him stop; it even made him go crazier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he waved the space-time secret blade again, the wonders in his body that could substitute for his life or provide a roundabout way to survive—the \"Holy Grail of Corrupted Life,\" \"Mother God's Umbilical Cord,\" \"Death Note,\" and \"Card of Fate\"—all flew out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also allowed Li Yu, without stopping for a moment, to continue waving the space-time secret blade four times in a row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just when the spectators thought the Son of the Vortex God was going to rely on this simple and crude method of trading lives to forcibly pass the second round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scene that left all the spectators and gods of the heavens and myriad worlds quite speechless appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four arrival points Li Yu entered next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them, cleared without damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not because his luck was so good that there were no disasters in those four universes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because Li Yu was too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, two universes contained the [Dimensional Reduction Strike] and [Dream of Idiocy], disasters that perhaps even top demigods like Morning Star, God of Slaughter, Undying Blade, and First Corrupted Head could not withstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that they were still brewing and had not taken shape, let alone been released.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu flashed past, naturally clearing them without damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene ignited another round of discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the audience was restless and confused, the incredibly passionate commentary of the Master of the Curtain rang out at the perfect moment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clever! Simply too clever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The second round of the natural disaster mode I set up completely eliminates the possibility of clearing the stage through luck; no matter who it is, how lucky they are, or what route they choose, they must experience at least one cosmic disaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If one moves too slowly, it will trigger a chain reaction, doubling the difficulty; the light consequence is experiencing another cosmic disaster, the heavy consequence is that all subsequent arrival points will be cosmic disasters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This was already a seamless mode, yet the Son of the Vortex God still found a path to clear it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is to say, if one can be fast to the extreme, without wasting even the slightest bit of timing, one can take advantage of the cosmic disaster in the core area while it is still brewing to directly lead all contestants and enter the deepest safe area... This requires the contestant to pass through at least nine arrival points in succession within ten seconds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As of now, only the Son of the Vortex God has done it; the price he paid was two cosmic curios.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I did not have absolute confidence in my own authority, I would also be unable to help but suspect whether the Son of the Vortex God had peeked at my [Script] in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But he is only a small thing of Legendary rank, and the Vortex God, in my eyes, is also just a slightly better-looking little trinket.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, this is his true wisdom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I announce that the Son of the Vortex God is now the first seeded contestant of this grand competition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From these words, it is not hard to hear the Master of the Curtain's appreciation for Li Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Li Yu's reckless behavior was a slap in the face to Him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the reversal created made Him very satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the audience who heard the commentary also came to their senses one after another, realizing the mystery behind Li Yu's clearing of the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A frenzy of tips erupted once again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Son of the Vortex God passed nine arrival points in ten seconds; the other contestants, even those like the Morning Star Undying Blade, are still halfway there.
