Chapter 424

Seeing Li Yu accomplish yet another inconceivable feat, the Curtain Lord also turned into a master of brain-filling, smoothing out the logic for Li Yu.

Was it reasonable?

Aside from overestimating Li Yu and underestimating the four demigods—Chen Xing, Undying Blade, First Rot-Head, and Killing God—there were no major errors.

But the truth was far more complex.

If it had truly been a demigod-tier Son of the Vortex God here, it would have been absolutely impossible to achieve.

The reason Li Yu was able to make the four gods, who were extremely difficult to charm, "willingly" swallow his flesh and blood was that the first two were already big fish hooked on his line, with his bait-threads wreaking havoc inside them, so falling for it was only natural.

As for First Rot-Head, it already had such habits, and its resistance was low.

As for the Killing God?

It had received a secret transmission from Li Yu and, after being persuaded, cooperated voluntarily.

……

Who could have guessed these truths?

Even the Curtain Lord and the gods could not perceive them.

Of course, this was also to blame on the rules set by the Curtain Lord itself; to ensure the competition was not interfered with, it had decreed that once the Gate of All Realms was in operation, it would be immune to any divine intrusion.

Coupled with the heaven-defying nature of Li Yu's Truth Soul Body, such inconceivable operations were possible.

If these limitations did not exist, let alone the Curtain Lord, any powerful deity could have seen that something was wrong with Li Yu.

And the ancient gods with deep foundations, even if they could not see through the Truth Soul Body, could have deduced Li Yu's identity as a successor of the Spirit Venerable.

Without a doubt!

The style was too similar.

The environment was special!

The methods were special!

Allowing Li Yu, a mere Legend-tier existence, to contribute yet another shocking reversal.

On the battlefield where the four gods were fighting, the changes were rapid.

The four demigods, who should have continued to entangle each other without a clear victor, appeared to have developed a distinct difference in their resistance to the "Vortex God Toxin."

The first loser was born in an instant.

It was none other than the most difficult-to-deal-with light giant, "Chen Xing." This demigod, who possessed the combat power to traverse the multiverse and had received the teachings of the Sovereign-tier deity "Lord of All Lights," was near-perfect. While entangled with First Rot-Head, it was inexplicably drawn into the battle between the Killing God and Undying Blade.

Attacked from both sides, it suffered heavy injuries from the simultaneous bombardment of three opponents of the same tier in the same instant.

Even as a demigod, it instantly fell into a state of critical injury.

The light that had originally been enough to illuminate the universe suddenly dimmed, and even showed signs of petrification.

This was a sign that it was nearing death.

But at this very moment, its final desperate strike erupted.

It was as if the final afterglow released by some terrifying celestial body or plane universe before its extinction, accompanied by a flash of intense white light, erupted with a massive amount of radiation concentrated enough to create a divine calamity.

"First Rot-Head," which was closest, let out a miserable wail, its divine body becoming riddled with holes.

Although strictly speaking, First Rot-Head could not be considered the mortal enemy of the light giant, it belonged to the category suppressed by "All-Light Divinity" in terms of attributes.

Seeing First Rot-Head injured by the light giant's desperate strike.

Normally, the Killing God and Undying Blade should have taken the opportunity to join forces to slaughter First Rot-Head and eliminate another opponent.

Undying Blade did indeed do so.

But the Killing God, quite inexplicably, took the opportunity to stab Undying Blade in the back.

Moreover, it was a desperate strike that required a huge price.

Half the battlefield was dyed red.

The killing intent condensed into substance, wrapped in terrifying divinity, and slammed into Undying Blade.

The next moment!

An inconceivable scene triggered by the chain reaction appeared in the eyes of all the audience.

First Rot-Head fell; it had been hit by the light giant's desperate strike and then by Undying Blade's strike that annihilated all laws, entering a state of impending death.

Undying Blade also fell; it had been hit by the Killing God's inexplicable desperate strike and was shattered into thousands of fragments, not killed instantly, but unable to struggle for much longer.

The Killing God also fell; despite having the lightest injuries from the desperate strike, it was also reduced in realm due to Undying Blade's inherent "counter-damage" characteristic, unable to even maintain its divine authority kingdom.

Mutual destruction?

All the audience members were stunned.

Who could have predicted this?

Although everyone was guessing that Li Yu, this treacherous Son of the Vortex God, had secretly poisoned them and simultaneously "parasitized" the four gods, with the obvious goal of guiding the four demigods to mutual destruction so he could reap the rewards.

But less than half of the audience truly believed he would succeed.

Because the power of the four demigods was too balanced.

Both powerful and average.

Then, once entangled, it would be very difficult to end in a short time.

But if it took too long, the Son of the Vortex God would be digested and lose his life completely.

And the slap in the face came extremely quickly!

Within a few seconds, Li Yu's goal was achieved.

The four demigods were truly "coincidentally" destroyed together.

No one believed that these successive events were a coincidence; it must have been the Son of the Vortex God playing tricks in the dark, but the audience just didn't want to believe that Li Yu had really done all this, and so quickly.

But the scene that followed directly confirmed all of this.

After the four gods "fell" almost simultaneously, a wisp of flesh-and-blood Qi surged out from within their bodies.

And in the void, it quickly gathered into a human figure.

It was Li Yu!

And as soon as he appeared, it caused constant exclamations.

Because at this very moment, Li Yu was fundamentally different from before.

His realm fell back from "Super-limit Demigod-tier" to Legend-tier.

That massive divine body also returned to its normal appearance.

All the pollution and radiation on his body vanished without a trace.

"He actually succeeded? How on earth did he do it?"

"The Son of the Vortex God's calculations never missed a step; he is not suited to be a descendant of the Vortex God at all. Throwing himself into the embrace of the Lord of All Changes would be his optimal choice."

"No, no matter whose descendant this child is, he can perfectly exert the relevant characteristics... If another Son of the Vortex God had come, I'm afraid he would absolutely never have thought of disregarding the price and side effects to devour the Ancient God's projection, forcibly raising the Vortex God Toxin, and using such poisonous schemes to parasitize the four gods."

"The most disgusting thing is that after he succeeded, he left all the toxicity, as well as the flesh and blood of the Ancient God's projection, to the four gods, while he himself escaped cleanly."

"A perfect closed loop! The three major stages designed by the Curtain Lord, which had already killed a large number of Boundless Heaven's Pride, were all broken by the Son of the Vortex God. He is in the same state as when he entered, and now he is about to win the championship."

"A lossless victory and championship, not even a speck of dust on his clothes?"

"It's not over yet; the other surviving demigods are coming to pick up the scraps."

……

Accompanied by the final donation messages, everyone indeed saw new changes.

Li Yu's entanglement with the four gods happened before the safe point.

The other demigods, separated by a distance, were fighting the true god projections that were hunting them, while watching from afar.

When that inconceivable result appeared!

These demigods, while shocked, were all filled with greed.

Regardless of the risk of injury, they had to rush over to pick up the scraps.

They all had self-knowledge!

Chen Xing, Killing God, Undying Blade, and First Rot-Head, these four!

Were top-tier demigods, extremely ferocious, and had even destroyed the true god projections that were hunting them, leading the other demigods by a wide margin.

So before this, when they were overwhelmed, they didn't dare to participate, assuming the final champion would be born among the four gods.

Who would have thought?

A Son of the Vortex God would pop out.

If you can't beat the four gods, can't you beat a Legend-tier?

With this thought, all the remaining surviving demigods launched a charge.

And in this round, the "true god projections" responsible for hunting them actually cooperated.
