Shadow Hack

After passing through the opening, Li Yunmu retrieved the restriction destroying halo and said in satisfaction. “This item is extremely useful, but can it pass through the sealed region without removing the seal of master gods?”

[It cannot,] the system said coldly.

“That’s alright. I just wanted to ask in case.”

Li Yunmu nodded. If it could really pass through the sealed region and acquire the rewards, he wouldn’t need to release the master gods. It would be extremely good, but he had prepared himself mentally that it couldn’t be so easy.

After seeing the projection of Yin Emperor, a sense of crises welled up in Li Yunmu’s heart. Previously, his strength could be ranked as first in the Origin World, since the master gods and True God were all sealed. When using the Dark State, he could even kill master gods. He was a being just under True God and could be called a quasi true god expert.

But the price of using Dark State was extremely high, so unless it was extremely necessary, Li Yunmu would not unleash it.

From the mouth of yin son of heaven, Li Yunmu had learned that the hidden enemies which the True God had concealed from him until then were the powers from beyond the heavens. They were extremely formidable, and they had more than ten quasi true gods as well as a true god level existence. The power of belief was also released in the Origin World by the powers from beyond the heavens.

Because of it, the first battle of gods was unleashed in the Origin World.

If the seal was removed, the Origin World would have to fight against the powers from beyond the heavens stationed outside. However, among the master gods, the presence of a traitor was extremely plausible. So instead of removing the seal, it was better to let it remain intact for the time being and hone one’s strength until the True God from beyond the heavens undid the seal and began the war.

Based on the cultivation of yin son of heaven, Li Yunmu guessed that there was a limitation on the cultivation of the people from beyond the heavens who could enter the Origin World after the seal loosened. Theat limitation was god realm.

Li Yunmu didn’t think much about it. He just walked to the sealed room of the five ancient gods in large strides. The most important thing to him right then was to obtain the Heavenly Grand Ritual and start the second battle of gods.

The five ancient gods and Asura had to die.

When Li Yunmu opened the door, he saw the five ancient gods sitting together in a circle. In the middle, there was a high platform with a cup of white jade. It contained a cyan-colored liquid which was releasing countless strands that jumped toward the five ancient gods. They entered them through the nose and mouth.

Li Yunmu could sense the enormous vitality of the Heavenly Grand Ritual. If the liquid was swallowed, an ancient god could instantly recover to their peak state. However, it was obvious that the five ancient gods wouldn’t allow any one of them to recover completely. After all, it would break the balance, which would be dangerous.

With the Heavenly Grand Ritual, the curse of short life of the dragon lady and Li Yunmu’s illegitimate daughter could be broken.

Li Yunmu walked forward and collected the Heavenly Grand Ritual into his heavenly world, then quietly disappeared. The five ancient gods seemed to be in seclusion, but in reality, their attention was focused on the competition. They wanted to use Brunhilda to exchange for the strength of a master god from beyond the heavens.

Because of that, the five ancient gods wouldn’t know immediately that the Heavenly Grand Ritual was stolen.

While walking out of the divine palace, Li Yunmu turned around to glance back, then left in the direction of Lakshmi City.

The atmosphere at the lotus pond was tense. The Music Clan’s descendants sitting in the spectator stand firmly clasped their hands with wooden expressions. Each and every move on the competition stage influenced their heartbeat. However, when they saw that the expressions of the twelve holy daughters sitting on the platform were normal, and their hearts relaxed a little.

If Ancient Goddess Brunhilda lost, the entire Lakshmi City would become a subordinate of the five ancient gods.

The envoys sitting in the front were possessed by ancient gods. Jia Tiankuang was looking at the competition stage with golden eyes that held a hint of savageness. Ye Tian was at the end of the row, and he was full of fury. Di Fan and the envoy with crescent moon eyes kept on consoling him.

“No worries, you were only confused, and that’s why you were defeated Yaksha. We can understand.”

Di Fan laughed loudly, and lightning constantly crackled in the crack between his eyebrows.

“Precisely, the new ancient goddess of Lakshmi City, Liu Qing, is even more beautiful than the Deva Clan of Asura City. So you being charmed by her is completely normal,” the envoy with crescent moon eyes chimed in. He did not match his calm demeanor previously at all.

Ye Tian looked at the two of them and spoke with malice. “Indra, you shouldn’t ridicule me. We four possess similar strength, so if I was humiliated by Liu Qing, you four won’t be much better. Let’s wait until your turn, then we’ll see whether you’ll be charmed or not.”

“No need to worry about that. Our hearts are much more stable than yours.”

Di Fan burst out laughing, then turned to look at Vishnu’s constantly transforming figure. Sometimes, he would turn into a god mother wielding a divine staff and sitting on a mastiff blossoming with all sorts of divine techniques, while at others times, he transformed into a four-armed god wielding a divine sword and walking on lotus flowers.

“You see, Vishnu isn’t charmed. Ancient Goddess Liu Qing will be suppressed and beaten by one of his transformations.”

“Hmph.”

Yaksha coldly snorted, but didn’t say anything. Rather than continue explaining, it would be better to let the facts speak for themselves.

After some careful thinking, he also found the matter somewhat strange. He who originally stood at the peak of the ancient god realm was beaten in one move by a newly advanced ancient god. The four ancient gods felt that his mind wasn’t firm enough but he knew that wasn’t the case.

He was clearly defeated in one move, so how could he be charmed.

On the stage, Brunhilda looked at Vishnu whose figure was constantly transforming with a calm expression.

They began fighting straight away, but although she was in a weaker position, Vishnu didn’t gain any advantages either. Just a moment ago, when Yaksha was on the stage, Brunhilda had found his looks too unappealing, so she attacked him with her full strength and immediately defeated him.

Although Vishnu’s figure was changing constantly, but based on appearance, he was much better than Yaksha and was comfortable to look at.

Brunhilda didn’t use her full strength since she knew that Li Yunmu should be stealing the Heavenly Grand Ritual right about then, so if the competition proceeded slowly, the attention of the five ancient gods would remain concentrated on her for a longer time. It would give Li Yunmu more time and make his mission to steal Heavenly Grand Ritual much easier.

While thinking about it, Brunhilda turned into a blur and avoided all sorts of divine techniques released by Vishnu.

After a long time, Vishnu’s expression turned ugly. The divine techniques he unleashed were very formidable, but Brunhilda’s speed was very fast without, giving him no opportunity to even touch her.

“Ancient Goddess Liu Qing continues to dodge, but when will you fight back?” Vishnu asked with some anger while looking at the countless afterimages.

Brunhilda’s laughing voice came through the afterimages. “If you have the strength, then use those divine techniques of yours to hit me. It’s a competition, so only natural that I dodge when you attack. If you manage to hit me, I’ll lose.”

“You are a woman, I was letting you escape,” Vishnu said in a low voice.

The rate at which he transformated increased. The afterimages were countless, so he also unleashed countless divine techniques that struck every inch of the platform.
