Chapter 568: Godslayer

"I am Ye Li!"

Ye Li grinned with amusement.

"Grandpa?"

As soon as the words left his lips, Shen You suddenly grasped the insult. His face flushed with fury, and he bellowed, "Today, no matter who you are, anyone who offends this deity will be annihilated!"

"Heavenly Scale Seal!"

Shen You activated his divine power. The Heavenly Scale hung like the Big Dipper, accompanied by the immense might of the Dao, as it lunged towards Ye Li.

"Forty-nine Seals of the Dao of Heaven?"

A look of disdain flashed across Ye Li’s face. He casually flicked a strand of sword energy. Everything perished before it. The single sword strike shattered Shen You’s divine power, and the power of the Path of Oblivion surged into Shen You’s body. Shen You’s flesh instantaneously withered, transforming from a handsome youth into a feeble old man, teetering on the brink of death.

Shen You’s face underwent a drastic change.

Ye Li’s cultivation base far surpassed his, much more profound and immense.

He immediately activated the Life Dao, barely suppressing the power of the Path of Oblivion for a fleeting moment.

"Heavenly Emperor’s World-Suppressing Fist!"

Ye Li roared, his aura overwhelming, like the Heavenly Emperor descending upon the mortal realm. His vital energy and cultivation fused, coalescing into a supreme divine technique. He clenched his fist and struck towards Shen You.

"…"

Li Ruoyu was at a loss for words.

‘Doesn’t this guy have techniques of his own?’ Li Ruoyu mentally grumbled. ‘Even his technique is plagiarized from mine…’

Though that was his thought, the Heavenly Emperor’s World-Suppressing Fist unleashed by Ye Li was immeasurably more domineering and far surpassed anything Li Ruoyu could achieve.

Boom!

Ye Li’s fist shattered Shen You’s Dao paths and punched straight through his chest cavity.

Yet, not a single drop of blood flowed.

His chest cavity shimmered with divine light, swirling chaotic energy. Heavenly divine patterns glowed within, seemingly composed of the Order of the Heavenly Dao itself, appearing extraordinarily profound and mysterious.

The intertwining heavenly divine patterns formed like a net, ensnaring Ye Li’s fist.

The power of the Heavenly Dao surged like a violent torrent, flowing along Ye Li’s fist into his body. Simultaneously, a divine being of the Dao manifested within his Purple Palace, each utterance manifesting cosmic laws, seeking to subdue his primordial spirit.

"Seal of Reincarnation!"

Ye Li clasped his hands together in an intricate gesture and slammed the seal onto Shen You’s forehead.

The Innate Reincarnation Dao erupted. Cyclical powers linked and overlapped like interlocking rings, swallowing Shen You whole. In the blink of an eye, it reincarnated Shen You through thousands of lifetimes.

At the same moment.

Ye Li activated the Book of Changes. The Creation Bell gave a gentle tremor, its chiming sound resonating outwards. His primordial spirit swung the great bell, smashing the divine being of the Dao into scattered fragments.

His body vibrated violently, functioning like a massive grinding millstone, ruthlessly pulverizing and dissipating all the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

One fist after another rained down upon Shen You like hail. The once handsome man was pummeled into a swollen and bruised mess, clinging feebly to life, utterly powerless to fight back.

Everyone was wide-eyed in astonishment.

Especially Battle Dao Sovereign, who stared in utter disbelief at the scene before him.

He couldn’t withstand three moves against Shen You, yet Ye Li was even fiercer—fully suppressing Shen You.

"When he killed Yue Xun, that bastard didn’t even use his full strength," Battle Dao Sovereign felt a jolt in his heart. "I’m glad I didn’t step up and oppose him."

The Dao Sovereigns of the Luoshen Dynasty camp were equally horrified.

"Daoist friend, that’s enough."

At that moment, Shen Le, who had been silently observing, suddenly spoke. Her voice was delicate and ethereal, remarkably pleasant.

"Are you talking to me?" Ye Li asked casually, his foot planted firmly on Shen You’s head.

"A warrior can be killed but not humiliated!"

Shen You roared.

"Quiet down!"

An annoyed Ye Li pressed down slightly, causing Shen You’s skull to crack under the pressure. It nearly flattened completely, making for a truly tragic sight.

Now, where was his earlier arrogance?

Frowning faintly, Shen Le said, "Shen You was rude. On his behalf, I apologize. I hope you won’t hold it against him."

Ye Li laughed.

"He tried to kill me just now—why didn’t you stop him then?"

"Now that he’s at my mercy, you jump in and plead for his life. Who do you think you are?"

"Then it seems I have no choice but to offend you."

A frosty glint flashed in Shen Le’s phoenix-like eyes. She shook the bell on her wrist, and instantly, a strange, mesmerizing melody filled the void—dreamlike, intoxicating.

Spiritual energy surged. From the thick mist emerged graceful goddesses, some sitting and plucking zithers, others strumming pipas.

Layers upon layers of sound waves resonated.

Each note contained marvelous divine abilities.

Before he knew it, Ye Li had fallen into overlapping Great Dao Worlds. Melodies from zithers, flutes, and pipas wove around him—revolving, living, extinguishing, yin and yang…

The power of 108 Dao paths was flawlessly merged by Shen Le into a single sound wave divine ability.

Her strength surpassed Shen You’s.

"Beautiful."

Ye Li immersed himself in the music.

"Monster!"

Bi’an, Battle Dao Sovereign, and the others twitched at the sight.

"Senior brother Ye truly is formidable," praised Dao Sovereign Qingyuan.

Li Ruoyu nodded silently.

Ye Li’s strength far exceeded that of the Haotian lineage’s two disciples. Even if they joined forces, they couldn’t bring him down.

"Miss, can you play a different tune? I’ve grown tired of this one." Ye Li swayed his head to the rhythm, his face radiating pure enjoyment.

"…"

"Shen Le, save me!"

Shen You pleaded with difficulty.

Shen Le’s brow knitted tightly. She murmured incantations as if in prayer. Suddenly, a golden divine light descended from the heavens. Within it stood majestic divine beings of the Dao.

Forty-nine divine beings of the Dao.

"My apologies," Shen Le sighed, commanding the forty-nine divine beings of the Dao to attack Ye Li.

These forty-nine beings radiated overwhelming, tide-like Heavenly Dao pressure, nearly impossible to resist.

Boom!

The forty-nine divine beings surged forward, each unleashing different Heavenly Divine Abilities. They manifested ultimate treasured objects of the Heavenly Dao, warping time and space as they rained blows upon Ye Li.

"Can’t play fair so you gang up on me!" Ye Li retorted.

"Seventy-Two Transformations!" He channeled his energy. One after another, duplicates of Ye Li emerged from his body, their mana and vitality nearly matching his own.

Seventy-two Ye Lis materialized, wielding primal energy as weapons as they charged the forty-nine divine beings of the Dao.

"You first!" Ye Li declared, stomping Shen You’s head to pieces.

Hum!

Shen You’s primordial spirit shattered under Ye Li’s foot, his Great Dao World collapsing. Heavenly treasures vanished into Ye Li’s Purple Palace. Without a word, Ye Li lunged at Shen Le.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Seventy-two Ye Lis clashed with the forty-nine divine beings of the Dao.

In mere moments, the Heavenly Divine Abilities shattered.

The Heavenly Dao’s suppressing power showed no effect on Ye Li.

Ignoring the divine beings, Ye Li employed spatial magic. A single step brought him before Shen Le. The Creation Bell materialized with a clang!

Boom!

A mighty toll shattered Shen Le’s sonic magic.

Gripping the bell’s handle, Ye Li smashed it toward her—showing no mercy whatsoever to this beautiful woman.

Shen Le swiftly formed seals to defend herself.

Thud!

The Creation Bell shattered her defenses, slamming her into a Divine Mountain.

Pressing his advantage, Ye Li sent the bell soaring into the sky. Countless divine patterns danced as it descended like a mountain peak, enveloping the Divine Mountain entirely. Immortal light shimmered across its surface as countless divine powers erupted simultaneously, aiming to annihilate Shen Le in one strike.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a dark streak of light descended from the heavens.

It resembled a strand of sword energy—cold and peerless—slicing through spacetime to knock the Creation Bell aside, leaving a deep gash in its surface.

Shen Le seized the opening, instantly escaping Ye Li’s grasp.

"Return," commanded a voice brimming with authority from the heavens.

Within the unseen, an eye seemed to fix its gaze upon Ye Li.

He felt no fear. Tipping his head back toward the sky, Ye Li sneered, "Defeat the junior, and the elder shows his face? Have the courage to descend and face me! Hiding counts as no skill."

Silence persisted from above.

Shen Le regarded Ye Li gravely. "Daoist friend, Shen You perished by his own choices. Yet by killing him, you’ve made an enemy of my kin."

"The moment you step beyond the Dao Clan’s ancestral land will mark your death."

Ye Li’s eyes flickered faintly.

Clearly, even within their ancestral land, restrictions bound the Haotian lineage.

"Then I shall await it," Ye Li dismissed coolly.

Shen Le faded from sight.

Vanishing with her were the forty-nine divine beings of the Dao—forms manifested by the rules of the heavenly path, ageless, deathless, without end or beginning.

"Now, I declare to all," Ye Li swept his gaze over the assembled crowd. "This Primordial Spirit Flower is mine. Any objections?"

"Who agrees? Who objects?"
