Chapter 582: Dead - 582
Ye Li deeply looked at Yhwh. Was he prepared, even willing to die with Yhwh?
The answer was yes. Otherwise, he would have never been able to demonstrate this level of power during the fight.
However, he wasn't willing to die with Yhwh like this.
He could die, but he could not lose this fight. This was his full effort and determination, even willing to die to win. If he lost, he would rather never have been born at all.
This was never a fair fight. Yhwh was at the Peak while Ye Li was only at the Great Dao realm.
In addition, Yhwh's current power was not just his own, but the power of a nearly infinite amount of beings put together and enhanced by Yhwh's own power.
Meanwhile, Ye Li had fought alone. The God of Death, his temporary ally, was not even involved in the fight.
Even if he was, he would die instantly.
Despite all of this, Ye Li did not have anger that it was an unfair fight. It only fueled his arrogance and belief that he was unmatched.
In his mind, they were at the same level because he was simply better. Losing would be far too shameful, even in death.
Ye Li gritted his teeth as he looked at Yhwh. He had only been a step too short. If he had comprehended a way to kill Yhwh before Yhwh had comprehended this method, he would have won.
He was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. He had lost.
Ye Li stopped looking at Yhwh. He put his head down unwillingly.
Then… he ran.
The Karmic Slave transformation ended as Ye Li hid his Karma and ran away.
However, the current Yhwh was not someone that he could hide from, especially after such a long battle. Yhwh had considered this from the start.
Ye Li disappeared instantly. Even Zhou Fan could not find him.
However, Yhwh turned his head and looked at a certain spot in the Universe.
Ye Li's eyes widened. Impossible.
"Give it up. I planted a thread in you. Unless you were to break that thread, I can find you no matter where you hide."
Yhwh explained everything clearly, because Ye Li did not have the ability to break the thread right now. A single moment of distraction would let Yhwh kill him.
After ending the Karmic Slave technique, Ye Li's injuries had surfaced. He was in no position to fight. He was simply hoping that the 50% chance would be on his side. He had never even considered being found.
Meanwhile, Yhwh was still at his strongest.
Yhwh's technique that would sacrifice his life and his believers' lives dissipated. It was unnecessary.
Ye Li stood up. No matter what, he had to try and survive.
He moved a step when a flash of light passed him.
Ye Li paused. Yhwh stood behind him, looking directly at him.
"You truly were the most talented. But with someone like you, I suppose this is Karma. That is your power, right? Guessing the name was impossible, but during the battle, I had already fully understood it. A version of Cause and Effect, what you named Karma. By the way, you should try not to mumble while fighting." Yhwh spoke.
But Ye Li was destined not to hear that he had been seen through in his last moment. Ye Li's body fell, severed.
Yhwh sighed.
He took a step forward as his transformation ended.
The battle between Yoha, the Buddha, and the God of Death ended in the God of Death's escape. They would deal with that later.
Yhwh appeared at the top of the Universe, below Zhou Fans unseeable Mansion.
The entire Universe, whether Path Creator or mortal, saw him.
He spoke, his voice reaching the entire Universe. "Good always wins. It is the law of the Universe. I understand it now, this is Karma."
He looked around at the destruction of Universal Sector 6.
Countless beings, whether believers or not, saw him and felt warmth from him. His believers increased crazily, even Sages included.
His words made them feel safe in the Universe.
Yhwh sighed as he ignored his increasing power.
"This destruction cannot be undone, and neither can the lives of those lost. Even I may end up dying from this fight. I can barely move right now."
He looked into the distant stars.
"But at least we can rest. Finally. Ye Li…"
"Is Dead? Right?"
A spiral silenced the Universe. All beating hearts seemed to skip at this moment, no matter who or how powerful, even Zhou Fan.
Yhwh collapsed.
Standing above his corpse, a disheveled Ye Li.
"You didn't truly think that you could win, did you." Ye Li laughed loudly. He laughed arrogantly.
No calmness nor humbleness mattered anymore.
Ye Li laughed loud enough for the Universe to shake. No being laughed with him. Dread filled the air.
What Scheming? What Planning? None of it was necessary anymore.
He was fully healed. He had devoured Yhwh's Karma. Everything was his. The Karma of the most powerful Path Creator to ever fight had become a part of him.
There was no need to strip the Karma of Universal Sector 6. A hundred Universal Sector 6's could not match one Yhwh.
Because all of the beings in Universal Sector 6 also lost a part of themselves in Yhwh dying.
After a long time laughing, Ye Li stopped. He had reached the Peak. There was no need for any other Path Creator to exist anymore.
Glancing past the Buddha, Yoha, and the God of Death, he looked upward. Nobody else was worthy of his attention now. Only one being was truly supreme.
No, it was two now.
Zhou Fan sighed as he stepped forward.
For a moment, Ye Li had truly controlled the omnipresent natural Karma of the Universe. Nothing else mattered in front of this power.
When used, it was unmatched.
Zhou Fan came into Ye Li's sight.
"You want to fight." Zhou Fan said.
Ye Li did not need to answer.
Zhou Fan spoke openly and plainly. "If I lose, I will destroy this Universe before I die."
Chapter 583: Peak Power - 583
Ye Li laughed. "And you think I can't stop its destruction."
Zhou Fan shrugged his shoulders. "I suppose it won't matter until it happens. I truly don't want to fight, but I suppose I must give you another reason to not fight to the death with me."
Ye Li waited for him to continue.
Zhou Fan pointed out with his finger. "Because you'll lose."
Neither of them wasted any time. They entered the Battle Universe. Zhou Fan's goal was to demonstrate enough strength so that Ye Li did not want to fight to the death with him. This was not necessarily because he feared Ye Li, but because he needed Ye Li to survive long enough for his plans to finish.
Seeing Ye Li reach the Peak had already given him an incredible boost in understanding. However, it was not yet enough.
A fight to the death would benefit nobody.
Ye Li instantly activated the Karmic Slave technique. A hand appeared and chains pierced his body. It was different from before. If it had been this powerful when he had fought Yhwh, he would have easily won.
This technique also no longer risked his life.
Zhou Fan released a Cultivation Finger. Its formless form was laid bare to someone at the level of Ye Li, but it was never meant to be invisible.
Ye Li pointed forward, and a giant Karma Spiral appeared. The finger and the Karma Spiral collided.
This clash instantly became the most powerful to ever exist in the Universe, though only by a small margin. They were just getting started.
Both attacks canceled each other out.
Ye Li, who had just fought a life and death battle moments ago, was instantly warmed up.
He took a step and appeared behind Zhou Fan. He waved his hand and a Karmic Sword slashed at Zhou Fan's back.
Sword Qi appeared and cut through the Karmic Sword, sending Ye Li flying back. He had underestimated Zhou Fan. Zhou Fan was not Yhwh, no matter the level.
Zhou Fan's power could be straightforward or the most versatile. He could use the pure power of cultivation, or use the countless Qi's and imbue them with the power of Cultivation.
Living for so much longer than Ye Li, he had a clear advantage. He was a true Peak Path Creator, and his power would no longer significantly change.
Meanwhile, although at the Peak, Ye Li still had a bit of personal growing room. It wouldn't be enough to significantly enhance his power, but it would be enough to show an obvious difference.
Ye Li was instantly surprised by Zhou Fan's power. He began to think of what Zhou Fan said.
Zhou Fan was not fighting with his life on the line, and Ye Li truly did not plan to either.
It seemed that this was destined to be a fight without a result, but he did not plan to stop just yet.
For the future, it would be best to gain a bit of an understanding of Zhou Fan's combat power.
Zhou Fan had left Leaf and Monty in his residence. Ye Li was not someone he could toy with.
Ye Li appeared behind Zhou Fan again. This time, he was striking with much more power.
He punched forward, a Karma Spiral Spiraling along his arm as he did so.
Zhou Fan pushed his palm out.
Buddha's Palm. A giant palm appeared, something Ye Li was familiar with. It was even more powerful than the Buddha's, though it was not truly a Buddha's palm when compared with the Buddha's.
The strikes canceled each other out. Zhou Fan teleported in front of Ye Li, pointing a finger out. Another finger of Cultivation appeared.
This one was even stronger than the last, directly sending Ye Li flying.
Yoha watched the fight. It seemed that Zhou Fan had been lying to them before when speaking about Ye Li's power.
They did not seem equal at all. Of course, neither were fighting with their life, but it seemed as though Zhou Fan would win regardless.
The Karmic Dao appeared.
Ye Li moved around Zhou Fan quickly, so fast it seemed as if he was constantly teleporting.
Multiple Karma Spirals rotated around him as a cage appeared, trapping him inside.
Zhou Fan felt pressure from all directions as the Karma Spirals began to constrict as if they were snakes.
At the same time, Ye Li released multiple Karma Swords.
The Battle Universe shook as a formless power bursted from Zhou Fan.
The cage and the Karma Spirals around him were directly broken as he faced the multiple Karma Swords.
An arrow of fire appeared and shot forward. It broke one of the numerous Karma Swords. Following the first, multiple arrows of fire appeared, colliding with the swords.
Ye Li appeared behind him as he created the arrows of fire and punched. Zhou Fan teleported behind him and kicked forward, sending Ye Li flying.
He was sent in the middle of the Karma Swords and the arrows of fire.
Neither moved from this point. Neither one of them was injured, and neither felt the need to fight any longer. This fight had been on the level of a casual spar.
Ye Li had thought about it and was convinced.
If Zhou Fan fought a life and death battle with him, there was a fair chance he would lose. He still could not see past the shallowest part of Zhou Fan's power.
The Karmic Slave technique deactivated. Ye Li felt tired, but not too tired.
"I suppose we should have a talk now." Ye Li said.
"It seems so. Let's go."
Zhou Fan exited the Battle Universe and entered his residence, though not near the mansion.
Ye Li left the Battle Universe and entered the residence as well. With his power, an invitation was unnecessary. He could enter any time he pleased as long as Zhou Fan was not actively defending against him.
He appeared near Zhou Fan and sat down against a random rock.
Although he was willing and able to fight, he was indeed mentally exhausted.
However, at this moment, he was one of the two beings that could truly control the Universe.
He spoke to Zhou Fan, who sat on the grass with his legs crossed.
"Don't you want to rule the Universe?"
"No. If I wanted to, nothing could have stopped me, but I have no interest in doing so. Neither do you." Zhou Fan said plainly, neither regarding Ye Li as an enemy or a friend.
