Ye Li broke through the Red Threads in an instant, but they provided a slight pause in his movement, and the vertical attack hit him.
It pierced halfway through his body. If not for the Karmic Dao, he would have been cut in half.
His face down to his waist had a long line of blood and guts that spilled out, but neither of the two stopped moving for a moment. They continued to clash repeatedly.
As the fight progressed, Ye Li began to tire. The Karmic Slave technique was not infinite. If he did not stop at some point, he would die.
Yhwh felt the same sort of sensation. The Red Threads did not come easily. He was being devoured by them as the fight continued. He was just as near to death as Ye Li.
Ye Li looked down at his wrist.
It was time. His Karmic Shackles had been completed.
Stepping forward, he appeared under Yhwh's punch. The Karmic Shackles emptied in an instant as Ye Li pointed a finger forward.
A formless power hit Yhwh, bursting his body into blood, guts, and bones. Only a bit of the top of his head and one of his feet remained.
Throughout Universal Sector 6, countless beings burst, dying instantly.
Red Threads appeared as Yhwh's body was reformed and sewed together.
He looked at Ye Li, a river of blood pouring from his eyes.
Ye Li punched forward, a Karma Spiral wrapped around his fist.
Multiple Red Threads formed a Spiral that wrapped around Ye Li's fist. Yhwh ducked and uppercutted Ye Li.
Ye Li was sent flying, flipping countless times as his chin burst.
This fight seemed to never end. Both had immense healing capabilities that rendered them essentially immortal.
Like this, it would only be a matter of who could outlast the other until they died from their own techniques.
This was not what Yhwh desired. His sanity had slightly come back, and he did not want to risk Ye Li outlasting him. Ye Li naturally had the same thoughts.
Neither minded dying, but losing, it was unacceptable.
Both of their minds raced, trying to find a way to truly kill the other. It would require an attack that could instantly decimate the other. It would have to reach a level of power that stopped them from healing.
Ye Li had almost reached that point when attacking after his Karmic Shackles were filled, but he failed by the tiniest margin.
It hadn't been easy for Yhwh to heal from that at all. Quadrillions, perhaps Quintillions of his believers had died for him to recover, and he had become even more exhausted as a result.
Their brutal fight continued, laid bare to the entire universe, but deep within their minds, countless ideas were brewing.
Neither of their talents were to be underestimated. They were Path Creators, the most talented existences in history.
During this Life and Death fight, they were both growing every second, creating new techniques and ways to use their power, even transforming themselves every second.
Time passed for a long time, spanning nearly a day. Although a day was nothing to even the weakest cultivator, this fight constantly required both Ye Li and Yhwh to use the absolute strongest and most draining powers.
Yhwh's Red Threads seemed to become dimmer, and the hand above Ye Li seemed to become fainter.
Even a mortal could see that they were weakening and exhausted.
Ye Li felt his life draining away, the consequence of using this technique. By all rights, he was going to die. There was a true 50% chance that, even if he stopped fighting now and left, he would die somewhere.
But he would not leave. It was a matter of pride and hatred. One of them must die here.
They collided, and for the first time during the fight, Yhwh took a step back and appeared just outside of Universal Sector 6, though still half merged with the Battle Universe.
Ye Li stepped forward, but did not attack. He did not know what was happening.
Yhwh's red eyes left, becoming a golden color.
Ye Li felt a foreboding feeling. Everything seemed to return to how it was.
Yhwh let out a deep breath. It seemed to be a sigh of relief.
"There it is. Are you prepared to die?" Yhwh looked at him mockingly.
Ye Li felt an indescribable feeling.
A single Golden Thread appeared. This was not the faith of any of his followers, but Yhwh's faith. It represented his faith in himself and his followers.
Countless Golden Threads appeared, visible to the naked eye. They connected every single being still alive in Universal Sector 6. The massacre by the God of Death had stopped as he, along with Yoha and the Buddha had fully entered the Battle Universe to fight.
The God of Death did not want Yhwh to target him. He had no doubt that he would die.
As for the Buddha and Yoha, they were perfectly fine with fighting the God of Death in the Battle Universe as they also wanted the massacre to stop.
However, they could all see the fight at all times. They could see the current situation as well. They stopped fighting and looked over. This was the climax.
All of Yhwh's believers were connected through Golden Threads, and all of the Golden Threads were connected to Yhwh's Golden Thread.
Ye Li could see through what was happening. He looked at Yhwh mockingly as well.
"If you attack me with that, not just you, but all of your believers will perish. I will too, of course. But, are you truly willing to sacrifice your own believers?"
He knew that Yhwh dared not do it. It was a bluff.
"This isn't just my idea, but their request. Ask them." Yhwh looked back, his voice ringing across the entire Universe.
"Are you willing to die for me?"
No voices came from anywhere but Universal Sector 6.
However, it was a unanimous answer, without hesitation.
"YES!"
Ye Li's mocking look dropped. This lunatic. Was he serious?
