Chapter 1170 - 678: Life Return_2
Impossible!
The three of them had made ample preparations, effectively sealing any opportunity for Lis to escape.
They even utilized power at the Divine Level!
Of course, if it wasn’t for the small world’s limited capacity, using too much Divine Power might have directly collapsed the space, allowing Lis to escape. They might have used even greater resources.
If Lis wasn’t a World Tree Favored, they wouldn’t have spent so much.
This setup was almost equivalent to besieging a Pope of the Church of the Gods.
But even so, did the final result still end in failure?
Holmes glanced at the frenzied Luun, and couldn’t help but take a few steps back.
Among the three, Luun paid the highest price, and to receive the assistance from others to block Lis’s helpers, he bled quite a bit.
If the plan had gone smoothly, Luun would have reaped the greatest rewards.
Holmes roughly estimated that if they had managed to successfully kill Lis, use him as a sacrifice for the Hunting Ceremony, the rewarded Luun might have reached the critical point on his Path to Divinity and started trying the Ascension Ceremony to ignite Divine Fire.
But now, almost all the efforts have turned to naught.
No matter how much Lis paid for his life, a failed Hunting Ceremony is still a failure.
The reason why Luun is like this, losing the previous demeanor, is because the loss from this failure is too great.
However, Holmes had no intention of sharing Luun’s burden.
What a joke, he’s already being considerate by not setting traps for Luun.
Watching Luun lose his mind like a beast, Holmes stopped persuading and quickly left.
Though unwilling to accept it, Luun’s state couldn’t be faked.
Not succeeding this time; next time, it would be even more troublesome to deal with Lis.
Holmes furrowed his brows, feeling a bit annoyed.
To have the All Beast Church targeted by such an existence, what a headache!
...
When Lis opened his eyes again, gazing at the dark space before him, he felt at ease.
This was a closed space he specifically set up outside the Mist Wilderness small world, using Sphinx’s Space Magic, its safety assured.
Though now, his mind lingered in the fierce battle just moments ago.
In truth, this encounter was the most thrilling and dangerous battle Lis had experienced since his Legendary breakthrough, impacting him greatly.
Even though Lis faced three opponents and held out for so long, seemingly maintaining a balance, it wasn’t because his Strength reached that level.
More so, his opponents believed firmly that after Lis fell into their trap, he’d be certain prey, so they didn’t exert full force.
Of course, they might have also been wary of his desperate strike, hence were cautious and on guard.
Yet, even so, Lis seized the opportunity and dragged down the Torture Executor Juliana to die with him.
Lis’s current power, honestly speaking, made it difficult to pull off a mutual destruction, but he had thoroughly prepared for it.
Firstly, he observed carefully during battle, choosing the slightly weaker, and low-health Legendary Assassin, Juliana.
Additionally, after anticipating a possible siege, Lis secluded himself and used the Nine-Circle Spell "Meteor Burst" as a template to create his exclusive arcane "Heaven and Earth Same Life, Jade Burn, Gods Dusk, Absolute Boundary Annihilation Technique"!
Though releasing the spell targeted himself, hence its terrifying power.
Of course, Lis didn’t create this Skill with an intention to die.
Before entering the Mist Wilderness small world, he prepared everything.
Lis understood clearly that the trap set by his opponents was meant to end him in a single stroke.
So they wouldn’t allow him to escape easily.
No matter how much he prepared, breaking through their blockade might still be impossible.
After all, they might employ Divine Rank’s power, which Lis could hardly counter.
However, Lis’s newly mastered ability opened a brand-new option for him.
That was Lis’s specialty, Ten Thousand Spirit Incarnation, bringing a special ability to the Life Avatar: Life Return!
The effect of this ability is straightforwardly brutal, allowing Lis to switch the Status of his True Body and Life Avatar.
Meaning, this special ability allows Lis’s Life Avatar to take his place in death.
As long as the Life Avatar is in a safe location, after Life Return, Lis’s True Body would appear in the Life Avatar’s location, while the Life Avatar would be swapped to the True Body’s location.
This "Return" could be said to be related to causality and fate rather than Space Transmission.
So basically, space locks or similar capabilities can’t restrict Lis’s "Return."
This even allows the effect of Lis’s Self-detonation Technique to transfer directly to the Life Avatar, practically making him a cheat-like existence.
This survival ability is almost equivalent to a player’s Rebirth ability, giving Lis the confidence to take risks.
Of course, the Life Return ability does come with certain limitations.
Firstly, it can only be used between Lis’s True Body and Life Avatar, and no other avatars have this ability.
Secondly, after using Life Return, even if the Life Avatar remains unharmed or alive, it will temporarily lose all Strength, becoming indistinguishable from any common person, unable to use Life Return until recovery.
Now, after a slight perception, Lis understood that his Life Avatar would need at least a year to recover.
Lis wasn’t too concerned.
Receiving life-saving ability as overpowering as Life Return, even with a year of cooling down, it still remains his greatest safety net.
Moreover, after Life Return, Lis also dispelled all negative effects imposed by Luun and others.
This means that Divine Son Luun could no longer track his location, so Lis wasn’t in a hurry to leave.
Without space locks, not even three more Divine Sons could force Lis to stay.
However, this battle made Lis feel the danger of Death.
In reality, the sensations from the Life Avatar’s self-detonation lingered hauntingly in Lis’s mind.
Taking such a grand risk, once Lis figured out who targeted him and gained substantial confidence, he indeed reaped substantial rewards.
