Banishment - 568

The four beasts watched as Ye Li took a step forward towards the ancient celestials.

There was no surprise. Among the ancient celestials, there was not even a Sage. Ye Li actually spent longer stripping Karma from the building than from the entire gathering of ancient celestials. It was a gain that surprised even Ye Li.

He then left with the four beasts. It took a while for it to be discovered that the ancient celestials had been destroyed.

By then, Ye Li had already reached another target. 

Ye Li took Karma from a total of five targets, which included the destruction race and the floating building.

He would have done more, but through Karma, he had received news that stopped all of his plans. 

A legendary being had come out. Yoha, stepping out of his mini-universe, declared that the enemy who had been wantonly killing and destroying everything was banished from the Main universe.

Yoha did not usually get involved in many matters, but he too understood that Ye Li was a threat. Since Zhou Fan had not killed Ye Li, he would not do so either, but that did not mean that he would let Ye Li freely move around.

He respected Zhou Fan, but they were beings at the same level. He was not a subordinate.

Seeing Ye Li's actions, Yoha personally declared his banishment. He had gone too far. Ye Li had not expected this at all. He also did not know what the outcome of this banishment would be. 

First, he went into hiding. He did not dare do anything, completely focusing his Karma on hiding.

The Karmic Cage in the Fog Qi domain dispersed, leaving those who had lived in Heaven experiencing darkness for the first time, and those who had lived in hell seeing a possible future.

Ye Li stayed hidden well. After all, his power was quite good at it. However, in the end, after a million years, he heard a noise and saw a blinding light up above.

"You're quite good at hiding. What's your power? Concealment? I can't guess. Wanna tell?"

Ye Li looked up at Yoha calmly. "How did you find me?"

Yoha responded simply. "There are no invincible powers, only invincible people. It's a simple difference in level. So where do you want to go?"

Before Ye Li could speak, Yoha shook his head. "Nevermind. You don't get to choose."

An unstoppable hand reached down and grabbed Ye Li by the neck. Yoha stepped forward, and his speed increased to unimaginable levels. Within seconds, he was standing in front of a gate.

It was a desolate gate. Behind it was one of the universes not covered by Zhou Fan's Great Dao.

Yoha never gave Ye Li another chance to speak. "Off you go. Don't come back unless you're confident you can kill me."

This was the last sentence Ye Li heard before entering the universe.

A few moments later, Yhwh saw Yoha appear in front of him. 

"He has been taken care of." Yoha said.

"And the Unknown?" Yhwh asked.

"There's no such thing. It was all fabricated. He would have surely won if I had not intervened. Become stronger. The next time he comes back, I fear I won't be able to stop him single handedly."

Yoha turned to leave, but Yhwh spoke again. "Why not just kill him?"

Yoha spoke without turning around. "Because my teacher doesn't desire him dead yet."

Yhwh could hardly believe that Yoha had a teacher, but Yoha had already left.

With Ye Li gone, the universe seemed at peace again. The Sages guarding ancient things such as the Upper realm returned. 

Such a dangerous enemy had been handled just like that, shocking everyone involved. They were even more shocked when Yhwh explained that the Unknown had been a lie. Everything Ye Li had accomplished was truly unbelievable.

The four beasts, who had learned of Ye Li's banishment, managed to act like they had been attacked and defeated by Ye Li, unable to send out a message before the ancient celestials were killed.

It worked well. Beings from the Karmic Cage soon appeared as well. The Bad Karma's had been killed by Ye Li, as such a thing required only a moment, but other beings from the Karmic Cage survived and found beings from the Cosmic Sect.

They explained where they had been and what had been happening. A lot was put together to guess Ye Li's power, but it was still not so simple.

At the very least, they knew how to take preventative measures if he were to ever come back in the future.

It was unknown what would end up happening in the Mini-Universe he was banished to.

Perhaps he would be unable to progress along his path and stay stuck forever. Perhaps he would come back after reaching the peak.

Regardless, when Yhwh reached the peak of his path, he planned to find and kill Ye Li once and for all. No matter what, he wanted Ye Li dead.

Yhwh continued to grow his faith, now without worry. He no longer received the direct assistance of everyone, but he had already gained a lot from it. His faith continued to grow, especially now that it was in different areas. 

However, Yhwh himself soon found issues, not with his path itself, but issues from those who had previously helped him. The Ipth patriarch came to meet him.

"I'm sorry, Yhwh, but the Outsider leader has sent me with a message. Please keep your faith out of our universal sector."

Yhwh was both surprised and not surprised. No ruling power would want those under them to have faith in a being other than them.

Yhwh agreed, and later on, he received the same message from an envoy of the Cosmic Sect.

Of the eight universal sectors, he was no longer allowed to spread his faith in two. In other words, a fourth of the universe was now out of his faith's reach.
