Red Threads and Karmic Slave - 579

It was as if his rage and the rage of all of his followers combined. His hatred flowed like an endless river for Ye Li.

Yhwh looked at Ye Li, and only Ye Li.

At this moment, he had eyes for only Ye Li in the entire Universe.

Both instinctually half merged into the Battle Universe.

This was another usage of the Battle Universe. Their fight would technically take place in the Battle Universe, but they would be present in the Main Universe at the same time, only their fight would not affect the Main Universe.

Yhwh charged forward, countless Golden Threads wildly moving around him.

Ye Li moved to the side, but somehow, Yhwh's hand found his throat and grabbed it. 

Golden Threads fused with his body as he gripped Ye Li's throat, finding a hold on his spine, and pulling.

Ye Li could almost feel his spine tear out before he finally managed to appear elsewhere using the Karmic Dao.

He looked at Yhwh shocked.

This was not the Yhwh he knew. This fighting style was completely different from anything he had seen. Even the way he used his Golden Threads had changed.

It was as if he had become a wild beast.

Some breakthroughs needed to come as a result of a sudden change in state of mind or comprehension. Yhwh had never used his Golden Threads quite like this, but with his immense hatred and desire to kill Ye Li bursting out, he had instinctually created a new way to use them.

Due to only partially merging with the Battle Universe, their fight could be seen in the Main Universe.

Plenty of Yhwh's followers were still alive. Even the God of Death and Ye Li could not kill so many so fast.

Connected to Ye Li, they could feel his hatred, rage, and hurt. 

His emotions were affected by them, and theirs were affected by him.

The eyes of countless beings throughout Universal Sector 6 reddened, not with sadness, but rage and hatred.

With such an immense amount of beings, the entire Universe seemed to feel a change in the air.

As Yhwh chased Ye Li with the pure desire to kill him, something changed.

Ye Li watched as the countless Golden Threads dancing wildly around Yhwh changed color. From a golden color to a pure red that produced a feeling of nothing but hatred.

The color of Yhwh's eyes changed to red as he stared at Ye Li.

"Even if I die here today, I will KILL YOU YE LI!" He shouted as he charged forward.

The Universe seemed to change color as a red hue enveloped it. 

Something had happened to Yhwh.

Ye Li could not even react. Yhwh charged forward, not even able to control his own speed and power. He uncontrollably flew past Ye Li, slashing his finger as he did so.

Countless Red Threads instantly aligned and formed a sharp edge.

As Yhwh flew past Ye Li, a large gash opened up on Ye Li's body.

Ye Li was sent flying, and Yhwh, who managed to stop moving, charged at Ye Li again.

Ye Li was repeatedly hit. The Karmic Dao could not help him dodge, and even using it to increase his defense hardly helped.

The God of Death was being attacked by the Buddha and Yoha, struggling to hold on, but all three were watching Ye Li and Yhwh, hardly focusing on their own battle.

Countless slashes and imprints hit Ye Li's body.

However, Yhwh could not keep this up forever. Blood was all over his body, not from Ye Li, but from himself.

The most intense concentration was the blood pouring out of his eyes.

Countless chants sounded out from Universal Sector 6.

"KILL"

"KILL"

"KILL"

The people of Universal Sector 6, known across the Universe as kind beings, were chanting as blood poured from their bodies. This was an unprecedented level of connection between them and Yhwh.

Their hatred was his hatred, his injuries were their injuries. 

It did not seem to be one Path Creator vs another, but a truly uncountable number of beings vs one being.

Throughout all of existence, whether mortal, God, Sage, Path Creator, or even Zhou Fan, all watched in stunned silence as Yhwh and Universal Sector 6 displayed a unity and power never before seen.

However, was Ye Li truly so easily defeated?

Ye Li roared out. He too was feeling hatred. Yhwh was never supposed to be this powerful. He thought that he had been the only one holding back, but it seemed that there was an immense difference between a fight and a Life and Death battle for all Path Creators.

Never before had they both been willing to die to win. Yhwh was willing, and the only way Ye Li could fight back was to disregard his own life.

His hands laid over each other as the Universe cracked. 

A giant Karma Spiral appeared. It looked the same, but it was clearly different from any other that Ye Li had ever displayed.

Above his head, the silhouette moved. Its form was ungraspable. It could seem like a worm one moment, a blade of grass the other, a planet the next, and a human after.

Yet at this point, it disappeared.

Chains fell from space, appearing suddenly from nowhere. A giant five fingered hand appeared, and the chains were connected to the fingers of this hand.

Ye Li was pierced by five chains.

"I'll probably die, using this before reaching the Peak, but so be it." Ye Li said as he focused on Yhwh. At this moment, the only things he saw in the Universe was Yhwh and Karma, Infinite Karma that filled everything, including his entire being.

This Karma was not sensed, but always existed. Karma was always present throughout the Universe, as Karma was Cause and Effect, something that had existed since the beginning of time.

This was Ye Li's true strongest technique, something even Zhou Fan had never seen.

He was the Path Creator of Karma, but in truth, he was simply another being living among it. 

The silhouette that had always been above him was not an aid or a friend, but a warden to a prisoner, a slave.

This was his strongest technique, "Karmic Slave".
