After a few teleportations, Yhwh led the patriarch, Ying Xiong, Third Eye Star Seer, and Star Spear Sky to the location of his battle with Ye Li.
There were not many traces of battle besides a few broken planets. After all, they had fought in a rather desolate area.
Third Eye Star Seer sat down with his legs crossed. After a day, he stood back up.
"There is nothing here. Are you sure this is the right place?" Third Eye Star Seer said.
Yhwh nodded. "Absolutely. There is no doubt."
Third Eye Star Seer's expression changed. He looked at Ying Xiong.
"Absolutely nothing. I can't sense a thing."
Ying Xiong's expression changed as well. "Impossible. It is one thing to fail, but nothing at all… This has never happened."
Yhwh spoke up. "This may have to do with his power."
Ying Xiong nodded and thought.
With the power of Karma, all traces were erased. No matter who tried, there was absolutely zero chance of finding anything if Ye Li did not want it to be found.
"I can only take the long shot." Third Eye Star Seer said as he sat down again.
He sat still for an entire year before jumping up.
"I saw two words. Death Domain."
Ying Xiong did not need to think for a moment. "Come."
Not wanting to risk anything, he personally took everyone at maximum speed, accessing a private teleportation network owned by him.
With a single teleportation, they arrived as close to the past Death Qi Domain as possible. The closest teleportation hub was destroyed when the God of Death left, so they were actually not that close. However, Ying Xiong took the lead, and after a brief travel, they arrived at the Death Qi Domain.
By now, Ying Xiong thoroughly believed that this enemy was a threat. He covered the entire past Death Qi Domain with his power, ensuring that nothing could escape undetected.
They entered, and in the distance, they saw a giant bird cage. Yhwh took one look and recognized it.
"That was absolutely created by his power."
Although everyone could see it, it was blurry for everyone except for Yhwh. It was made from a combination of Karma and powerful materials, which is why it could be seen by sages at all.
Everyone arrived outside of it and stepped through the giant gap between the bars.
Just as they stepped through, the cage began to shrink. With a single move, Ying Xiong shattered it, but he was only able to affect the materials. He could not even see the Karma that continued to shrink.
Yhwh saw it, and forgetting about hiding the fact that he was not a cultivator, golden threads poured out of his body. Of course, nobody could see these threads, but everyone saw that he was bursting out with power.
Ying Xiong solemnly looked at Yhwh, understanding that something was happening.
Although the Buddha's power could be seen normally, even Zhou Fan had to give his power a color for others to see it, much less Yhwh and Ye Li with such formless powers.
Yhwh's golden threads battered against the cage, but it was not a hastily created attack. The birdcage seemed to have been prepared long ago.
With a few attacks, the birdcage suddenly lost form, and as it gathered towards Yhwh, took the form of a sword.
Meanwhile, Ye Li sat in front of a giant cage, holding two fingers out like scissors. Surrounding the cage was fog. This was the Fog Qi domain.
"There is a reason why you will not win against me." He mumbled to himself. "Because you must bathe in the light, while I can hide in the shadows."
He closed his fingers, and at the same time, Yhwh, who was defending the Karma sword in front of him, felt a chill on his back.
Another Karma sword, perfectly hidden, sliced his back.
There was no resistance, but suddenly, a body appeared, blocking the Karma sword.
Ying Xiong, who saw Yhwh's body tear apart, teleported in his spot and pushed him away, taking the Karma sword with his body.
A slight cut remained on his abdomen as the two Karma swords lost their power and dissipated.
Yhwh panted, a large cut visible on his back. If not for Ying Xiong, he would have either died or been near death. A prepared attack, layered with Karma and hidden.
Yhwh's eyes narrowed. You truly are a scourge.
In the Fog Qi domain, Ye Li was a little disappointed. "How lucky. If only he had failed to protect him. Ying Xiong. I wonder if you'll be able to reincarnate after I strip your Karma. Consider yourselves lucky it will take a bit longer to reach the Sage Realm."
After capturing a few members of the Cosmic sect while traveling to hide in the Fog Qi domain, Ye Li read their Karma and learned quite a lot about the Cosmic Sect and the outside universe.
It could be called a lucky encounter, or Karmic intervention. Regardless, he had long known that he would be tracked, and he had set up a trap in advance, even allowing Third Eye Star Seer to see his past location.
A perfect plan, one only executable through the power of Karma.
"And the unknown have yet to reveal themselves." He said as he looked at the Cosmic Sect members he had captured, now implanted with Karma and members of the "Unknown."
"Return to the Cosmic sect and wait."
The Cosmic Sect members bowed and left.
Ye Li did not plan to make any more moves until he reached the sage realm. This could be considered revenge against Yhwh.
Far away, Ying Xiong and the other two from the Cosmic Sect returned, while the Patriarch also returned to the Ipth.
They would be actively looking for the enemy, but it seemed futile to anyone. They had been led into a trap without even realizing it.
Yhwh had become more serious after the event. He began to focus heavily on increasing his faith once again, something he had been slacking on.
He had nearly forgotten, but he was still Yhwh, and to countless beings throughout the universe, he was their God.
