Karmic Shackles - Backlash - 558

Yhwh was glad that his path was so straightforward. For the next million years, he spread his faith farther and wider than ever before.

The only issue was that he usually needed to make a personal appearance at a world or an organization for there to be any quick effect. Otherwise, it would be harder for his power of faith to grow.

After ten million years of expansion, Yhwh neared the sage realm. His name was known throughout the entire universal sector. Even outside of it, he was known, there was just not as much faith.

Unknown to the oblivious Yhwh, at the Cosmic Sect, something was happening. 

There were countless members of the Cosmic Sect after so much time, and even a million was a small number, much less a thousand. However, a thousand beings, each at least at the God realm, gathered at the center of the Cosmic Sect. They did not gather with good intentions.

All thousand formed a tight circle, and from within their bodies, Karma spirals shot out. One thousand Karma spirals swirled around inside of the circle, eventually condensing into a giant Karma spiral. At the same time, these thousand beings shouted out loud, their voices alerting the entire Cosmic Sect.

"The Unknown had arrived!"

As they shouted, the giant Karma spiral expanded to an even greater size, directly surpassing the size of an entire galaxy. It shot into the distance, able to be seen by every being in the Cosmic Sect. As it traveled, it directly collided with a large portion of the Cosmic Sect, tearing a large hole and stripping countless beings of Karma, many of which had great talent or cultivation.

A long and large path of shattered space and desolation was left as a circle formed. Stepping out of the circle and into the Cosmic Sect was a man with an indiscernible face. Looking at him, it was as if his face was made of static. 

From each of his sides, two beings walked out, their faces also blurred, but a visible number on them. The numbers were three and four.

As they walked along the destroyed path, many beings appeared. The weakest among them was at the God realm, and there were multiple sages. Ying Xiong stood among them, looking at the three with clear anger and solemnity. 

At the same time, around the universe, countless experts of the Cosmic Sect received summons. Using teleportation arrays, they quickly made their way to the Cosmic Sect.

Ye Li, the man in the middle with an indiscernible face, looked around unfazed. Only Ying Xiong posed a true threat. Of course, there were others that were extremely dangerous, but only Ying Xiong was unpredictable. 

"Three and four, clear the weaker beings." Ye Li spoke out loud.

Those of the Cosmic Sect heard him as well. 

Three and four moved out, each at the True God realm, but displaying a terrifying unseeable power granted by Ye Li.

Their purpose was not actually as combat power, but as evidence of the Unknown's existence. Ye Li's path would not end here, win or lose.

The idea of the Unknown was still useful.

None of the sages moved, all staring at Ye Li. Coming here, it was clear that he was extremely confident.

Ye Li didn't waste any time. This was only a part of the plan.

He stepped forward, blurring into oblivion. At the same time, Karmic shackles appeared on all of the Sages' wrists. Ying Xiong was wary. This was what Yhwh had told him about.

Ye Li appeared again, behind one of the Sages. A Karmic Sword shot out. The Sage turned around to face Ye Li, but was hit by an unseeable power and injured.

Ying Xiong yelled out. "He uses an invisible power different from ours. Attack him now, don't bother defending. Killing him is the only way to win. Full Offense!"

Hearing Ying Xiong, the Cosmic Sect did not hesitate.

All 33 Sages of the Cosmic Sect, including Ying Xiong, Third Eye Star Seer, and Star Spear Sky attacked at full force.

Ye Li did not falter. From within, something akin to an outer world or Mortal Dao burst out from him. 

The Karmic Dao revealed itself, unseeable to anyone here.

Where there was a cause, there was an effect. Ye Li vacated the space, and as a result, someone else had to fill in for him. A random sage appeared where he had been, taking the attacks, including his own, while Ye Li appeared next to another Sage and shot out a Karma Sword.

Suddenly, from behind, Ye Li barely reacted to a punch. He twisted his head and moved away.

Ying Xiong's fist nearly scraped him.

Where there is a cause, there is an effect. Ye Li took a step, and as a result, he moved.

As if he had teleported, he appeared behind Ying Xiong. 

Ying Xiong attempted to teleport. 

Where there is a cause, there is an effect. Ye Li could not teleport. As a result, it was fair that nobody else could.

The Karmic Dao was extremely unreasonable to fight against, and nobody here could directly resist it. Ying Xiong was struck by a Karma Sword, but only suffered a small cut, his body enhanced by Star Qi and Buddhist Qi. 

Ye Li thought to himself. "As expected. Winning right after reaching this level is impossible."

He began to focus on dodging attacks from the Sages. The fight seemed to shake the universe, space only not being destroyed due to the natural ability of sages, one with the universe.

However, the Cosmic Sect was not so lucky. It was reduced to shreds. Luckily, the countless beings here had escaped through teleportation arrays, Ying Xiong and the Cosmic Sects specialty.

A battle between so many sages had never been recorded in the history of the universe before.

From all over the universe, countless beings began to watch. 

"It is time." Ye Li thought.

Looking at the wrists of these beings, the Karmic Shackles were half full.

"Before leaving, might as well kill a few."

Ye Li held his arms and legs out wide, his Karmic Dao condensing into his body.

All 33 Sages felt a chill.
