Chapter 561: An Alliance - 561
The Beasts were perhaps the most pitiful race in the universe. For countless years, they had failed to produce a being that could truly stand out among others. There were plenty of such humans, and even those like that among non-human beings, but when it came to Beasts, there were none. Their one true talent, Monty, did not even care about their existence, and they did not know of him.
You could call it bad luck, or perhaps there were some inferior genes. Regardless, the Beasts had always been merely average at best.
The last thing that the Beast race wanted to do was cooperate with a human, but looking at this being, was he truly human? He had a human form, but that was all. In soul and mind, this being was more of a monster than even a Beast.
Ye Li held out his hand, his face obscured. "Then the Beasts can work with me. I promise, you will have a place in the universe untouched, even after I am finished with my plans."
The giant dragon hesitated. Although Ye Li was countless times smaller than it, it did not even feel like an equal.
"You say you have plans. What exactly are your goals?" The Beast asked.
He knew of Chaos beasts and the destruction race, both of which had wished to harm everything. They were common enemies for all living things. The Beast wanted to know if Ye Li was like them, especially since Ying Xiong and the Outsider leader had made it seem so.
Ye Li slightly smiled. "Isn't everyone's goal the same? My goal is to win."
The Beast was moved. A deal was made. When the time came, the Beasts would assist Ye Li.
Of course, the Beasts weren't completely united. Some had become used to this sort of life, one under others. They had learned to live with other beings, even if seen as inferior.
The Dragon, who found this more humiliating than anything else, formulated a plan with Ye Li.
A few million years later, a massacre happened at a Beast alliance meeting. There hadn't been any sort of big commotion until afterwards. Outsiders and members of the Cosmic Sect showed up, but they were far too late. The Giant dragon flew in space with blood covering it. It was clearly extremely angry.
"What happened?" Ying Xiong asked.
The dragon spoke. "That being attacked us. He killed three of our sages before leaving. I tried to use the teleportation array, but he seemed to have sealed off the area."
Ying Xiong was surprised. He didn't realize that the enemy could do that. Sealing off one of his arrays was no easy task. He had developed them for countless years.
After staying for a while, Ying Xiong and the Outsider leader left. They had wanted to either bring the Beast alliance sages with them or stay and defend, but the dragon refused.
His pride would not allow him to be sheltered or protected.
Neither Ying Xiong nor the Outsider leader could change this, and they left helplessly. Ying Xiong began to develop a better teleportation array.
As everyone left, the Beast alliance sages held another meeting.
This time, there was another participant, one who had killed three sages during the last meeting. Ye Li stood alongside the Giant dragon, who had now shrunk down to a smaller size for convenience and to stay hidden.
Besides the Dragon, there were three other Beast sages that believed in the same thing as the dragon.
They were Beasts similar to a frog, a horse, and an eagle. However, none of them were innocent or kind Beasts, despite being similar to normal animals.
They were each truly Beasts, ready to kill at any moment for the sake of freeing the Beast race from subservience and inferiority.
While working with Ye Li would eventually make them inferior once again once he reached the peak, they had received a promise to be left alone on their own, and that was all that mattered. This was already the best situation.
Ye Li pierced each of these beings with Karma, making them officially part of the Unknown. The Beasts did not learn much. They did not know anything about the Unknown or Ye Li's power at all, only that they had a piece of it within them.
Ye Li had read their Karma during the earlier massacre and knew that they would not attempt to betray him.
With this, Ye Li left, intent to grow his power before the next battle. He already had a goal, and that was Ying Xiong.
Yhwh also began to increase his power even further. He knew that Ye Li had surpassed him, but he needed to catch up.
On the same level, he had actually defeated Ye Li before. Although he seemed like a minor character ever since the Cosmic Sect and the Outsiders got involved, he was actually the greatest hope of defeating Ye Li. He just needed to become stronger.
The race of strength continued for tens of millions of years before Ye Li was satisfied in his growth. His strength had neared the peak of the Sage realm. Yhwh too had reached Sage realm level power.
With Ye Li's unique way of fighting, his strength could be said to be even higher. The same could be said for Yhwh.
After so long, the Beast alliance received a message through the Karma within them. They went to a location given and found teleportation arrays. As the message had told them, they waited until a signal was received.
Meanwhile, Ying Xiong moved through space. He had been leaving the Zhou supercluster more often than in the past due to recent events. He passed by a giant creation that had three flat platforms stacking up, each one the size of a galaxy cluster.
As he passed, an attack traveled towards him from the highest level. It was weak. He waved his hand and dispersed the attack, continuing on, but what he failed to see was a Karma spiral within that continued towards him, eventually reaching a small teleportation array on his body.
Chapter 562: Full Karmic Shackles - Backlash - 562
The Karma spiral circled around the small teleportation array for a while before entering it. All this time, Ying Xiong did not detect a single thing. Suddenly, from all sides, power rushed towards him. Looking at his wrists, Karmic Shackles had appeared.
Without hesitation, he activated the teleportation array, but it failed. Ying Xiong's face turned grim.
He looked around. He saw a Giant dragon, a horse, a frog, and an eagle. They surrounded him on all four sides, attacking him.
Suddenly from above, he sensed something. Just as he looked up, a Karma sword fell down onto him.
Ying Xiong could not sense it, but his instinct caused him to move and avoid it through teleportation.
He wanted to teleport again to move away from the fighting, but he found himself completely unable to teleport out of a certain area.
Although he could not see it, a bird cage had formed around this distance. Much stronger than before, Ye Li had specifically tailored this to trap Ying Xiong.
As the four beasts closed on from the sides and Ye Li traveled towards him from above, three other beings came out.
They were Bad Karma #2, #3, and #4.
Bad Karma #2 was at the peak of the Outer world realm, with the power of Karma within him. The other two were still at the peak of the True God realm.
Ying Xiong, with countless years of experience, instantly understood that there was a high chance that he would die here. It seemed unlikely for there to be any other outcome. However, he was not afraid of dying.
'Since you want to kill me, let's see how much I can find out about you first.' Ying Xiong thought.
His upper clothing ripped as a painting on his back glowed.
Around him, a giant golden tree appeared with 1000 meditating buddhists around it.
The golden tree and the 1000 buddhists seemed to light up the universe, but all of this light stopped at the edge of the invisible cage.
Countless buddha phantoms layered around him. He held out his palm, targeting Ye Li.
"Million Cosmic Buddha's palm."
A million cosmic Buddha's palms merged into one that fell onto Ye Li.
Yet it was destined not to reach its target.
The Karmic Dao expanded and Ye Li appeared elsewhere, completely avoiding the Million Cosmic Buddha's palms.
Ying Xiong was not demotivated at all. He had resolved himself to die today, his first death as a Sage.
He chased Ye Li like a madman, teleporting right in front of him. As long as he did not try to escape the cage, he could teleport freely.
Spatial locks descended, but who was Ying Xiong? He could not be bound by such simple spatial locks.
The four beasts and the 3 Bad Karma's couldn't even keep up with Ying Xiong as he chased Ye Li.
Ye LI sneered while constantly moving. "Useless."
The Karmic Dao expanded even further, completely covering the area of the cage. This cost a lot of Karma, but it was necessary. Now, the area was like a chessboard for him.
As Ying Xiong teleported and struck out, the Giant dragon suddenly appeared in front of him through Ye Li's intervention, snapping out with a bite.
The bite and the Million Cosmic Buddha's Palms collided, knocking the Giant Dragon back, but without injury. After all, it was the strongest known beast in the universe.
Ying Xiong sneerted, not teleporting away, but swinging his hands upward. "Scram beast trash."
A large gash appeared as Star Qi formed a blade's edge that ran across the Giant Dragon.
Blood fell as Ying Xiong chased Ye Li. Teleporting again, he appeared in front of Ye Li. This time, at a steep cost, Ye Li brought everyone in front of him. The four beasts, the three Bad Karma's, and Ye Li himself struck out at Ying Xiong.
The Million Cosmic Buddha's Palms met attacks from 6 beings with Sage level power and two with power right below it.
The Million Cosmic Buddha's Palm was torn apart and Ying Xiong was sent flying.
The Golden Tree that stood tall in the middle of the cage glowed, healing Ying Xiong from the slight injuries he had sustained.
Ye Li looked at the Golden Tree solemnly. This was the reason that Ying Xiong was even qualified to fight him.
Even Karma could not directly destroy it. Karma was not omnipotent, after all.
Ying Xiong chased Ye Li for hours. Each time, Ye Li would expend large amounts of Karma to harm Ying Xiong.
Although it was indeed a large amount, Ye Li's reserves seemed endless, but so did Ying Xiong's healing.
Eventually, Ye Li got tired of playing around. Every moment this fight continued, there was a risk of someone intervening.
He looked at Ying Xiong's wrist. Just a hundreth of the way to full completion.
As the Karmic Shackles got closer to completing, it required more and more Karma, but now, they were reaching their end.
When the Karmic Shackles were complete, no foe could possibly resist.
Ye Li shot forward, a giant Karma Spiral appearing and attacking Ying Xiong. This power was unseeable, but it directly collided with a Million Cosmic Buddha's Palm and destroyed it before continuing, causing Ying Xiong to sense its existence. He shot out another Million Cosmic Buddha's Palm, but the giant Karma spiral seemed unstoppable.
It merged many of the powers of Karma into one powerful attack.
Ying Xiong defended with a bell, but he was helplessly pushed back, eventually crashing into the Golden Tree before the giant Karma Spiral stopped.
He began to launch forward, when a feeling of death creeped up on him. He suddenly looked down at his wrist.
Full completion. His face paled. Something within him understood that this was the end. Ye Li stood arrogantly above him, with the four beasts and three Bad Karma's behind him.
"Full Karmic Shackles - Backlash"
Ying Xiong felt a crack travel towards his body from his wrist. This was the end. Since it had come to this, sacrificing his life for one more burst of power was worth it.
