Karmic Sorrow formed a finger that directly pushed against the palace walls. Unlike before, the walls began to shake and crack. Karmic Sorrow was in no way a weak technique.
Naturally, Yhwh did not just stand there and let it happen. Golden threads appeared infinitely, fighting against the Karmic Sorrow. Faith and Karma directly clashed.
This clash only lasted a moment before both attacks ended. Ye Li pushed forward without a moment of hesitation. It was time.
As Yhwh began to strike out at Ye Li, something appeared on his wrists.
Karmic Shackles.
These shackles made of Karma took form. Even a mortal could clearly see them. Yhwh felt as if these shackles did not physically affect him, but affected him in some way he could not understand.
These shackles appeared as tattoos on the wrist, an outline present but the inside not filled in. Yhwh continued to strike out at Ye Li. Ye Li responded with a finger of Karmic Sorrow.
Both attacks clashed and dispersed. Yhwh looked down at his wrist for a brief moment and noticed a change.
Although only slightly, the outline of shackles on his wrist had been filled in. Yhwh was clueless, but he felt a sense of dread. He knew that if these shackles were fully filled, he would likely lose.
Yhwh closed his eyes for only an instant, but when he opened them again, he had completely changed.
Whatever this was, it would go away if Ye Li was killed. Yhwh pointed his finger in the air, and golden threads gathered above it.
You have a supreme move, let's see if you can withstand mine.
Countless golden threads gathered above the finger, forming a thin line, and eventually an arrow.
Ye Li felt an immense threat from this arrow.
He pointed out seriously, and multiple fingers of Karmic Sorrow appeared, heavily draining his Karma.
At the same time, the arrow was sent flying, tearing through space and hitting the first finger of Karmic Sorrow. Surprisingly, it seemed to slow down to a mortal arrow's speed after hitting the first finger of Karmic Sorrow.
For an instant, Ye Li thought that he had been mistaken, but suddenly, from behind the arrow, countless golden hands appeared.
They pushed the arrow forward. It sped up, now even faster than it initially was.
Another finger of Karmic Sorrow was hit. The arrow slowed again, then sped up faster than the previous two times.
This repeated, piercing through a total of 6 Karmic Sorrows before reaching Ye Li. In this time, Ye Li had tried to dodge, but no matter what, he could not.
Only a few moments had passed from when it was first fired. Ye Li, helpless, formed a dense shield from Karmic Sorrow and braced for impact. Suddenly, Yhwh appeared behind him, and the arrow split in two, the golden threads forming it moving around Ye Li and into Yhwh's palm.
A tiny sun appeared on Yhwh's palm. Ye Li's eyes widened in horror as the sun hit his hastily protected back.
Ye Li was sent flying, and the Karmic Dao collapsed. Ye Li, in the last instant, had used the Karmic Dao to shield him from that attack, but the Karmic Dao had never been for defense.
Ye Li only stopped flying after crashing into a few stars and landing on an abnormally powerful and large meteor.
Yhwh was right behind. And punched out with a golden fist.
Ye Li could barely move and watched as the punch approached.
He sighed. It wasn't finished, but this would have to do.
On Yhwh's wrist, the 1/3 finished Karmic Shackle suddenly disappeared. Yhwh's golden fist disappeared as cracks appeared on his body, coming from his wrist.
He coughed out blood. Ye Li watched, still not moving. The power of Karma was rapidly healing him, and a miniature version of the Karmic Dao surrounded him, increasing his healing exponentially.
It was a pity that the Karmic Shackles weren't completed. He would have won no matter what.
Unwillingly, Ye Li took one last look at Yhwh before leaving. Yhwh attempted to stop him, but Ye Li used Hidden Karma to hide himself and the power of the Karmic Dao to leave.
Yhwh could not catch up, especially without healing his injuries a bit.
Ye Li successfully escaped, though he was even more injured than Yhwh.
After a few years of recovering, Yhwh began to search for Ye Li. He even contacted the Ipth. His relationship with them was good. Even if he refused to become an Ipth in heart, the patriarch did not take it personally and instead maintained contact with Yhwh and occasionally helped him out.
This was the first time that Yhwh had truly asked for complete help, and the patriarch obliged. Unfortunately, they were destined to come up empty handed. If Karma was good at two things, they were hiding and erasing traces.
Just a day after the fight with Yhwh, Ye Li had stripped Karma from the entire Star Harmonization Sect to aid in his recovery.
This was also in order to avoid Yhwh's tracking. As a True god level being, he had access to plenty of the universe and could go just about anywhere he pleased.
After pondering, he decided to hide in the safest place. A place where, even if Yhwh found him, he could not act.
The lightning Qi domain, one of the countless domains in the universe. Ye Li picked this randomly, though, with Karma, there was definitely some benefit for him there. He would wait and see.
As a True God level being, he was exempt from having to use teleportation cards to go most places. However, entering Qi domains required a teleportation card for anyone, and it required a special version and a steep price.
It was one thing to naturally enter a Qi domain, but to enter through teleportation array, one had to have the consent of the teleportation hub.
However, Ye Li simply pierced an overseer with Karma and temporarily implanted Karma into him. This overseer was a god realm cultivator.
