Mo Yuan’s expression changed drastically, but his horrified expression instantly froze on his face. His body and the mask on his face collapsed together. He did not even have the chance to scream before he turned into powder and dissipated.

Silence rang out.

The entire starry sky fell into momentary silence. Everyone looked at Tai Ri, who had been slashed into ashes by Li Yu, in surprise.

In the next second, cries of surprise sounded like a tsunami. Countless people in the Immortal Realm instantly boiled over.

“Tai Ri is dead!”

“Tai Ri has been killed!”

“Haha, this guy is only so-so. He was actually killed by Li Yu so easily!”

“Li Yu is indeed the strongest person in the myriad worlds!”

“Is this the power of the Serious Strike?”

“No, I feel that Li Yu’s strike just now was not serious at all. At most, it was just that ordinary sword technique!”

Everyone’s discussions rose and fell, but Li Yu’s words instantly doused their excitement.

“He’s not Tai Ri!” Li Yu said in a low voice.

He looked at the Gate of Fortune wrapped in layers of array formations.

He had sensed an aura identical to Yi Xie’s from the fake Tai Ri just now. At the same time, his Heart of Heaven and Earth sensed the abnormality of the array formation around the Gate of Fortune.

After carefully sensing it, he discovered some clues. A diversion was naturally impossible to fool.

Furthermore, Li Yu knew more than everyone present.

He immediately guessed that Tai Ri had reached an agreement with the demons and that Tai Ri’s true goal was not to destroy the Gate of Fortune but to refine and control it.

Li Yu’s words made everyone’s expressions turn grim again, and their hearts fell into an ice cave again. They looked at the Heavenly Dao Rankings. Tai Ri’s name was still there, and this confirmed Li Yu’s words.

Tai Ri was really not dead. This threat had not been eliminated.

Since he was not dead, who was that fellow just now? Where could the real Tai Ri be?

Everyone looked at each other and suddenly felt their hair stand on end. It was as if a pair of terrifying eyes were staring at them from the dark, ready to rush out and take their lives at any moment.

Li Yu’s figure flashed and instantly arrived near the Gate of Fortune.

Seeing Li Yu fly over, Crafty, who had already transformed into Gongshu Shituo, was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and his heart turned cold. He was all too aware of Li Yu’s power. He had just seen the scene of Mo Yuan being killed by a single strike from Li Yu.

At the moment, he was panicking inside, but he could only pretend to be calm and pray that Li Yu did not discover any clues in the array formation.

“Patriarch, you’re back! Has Tai Ri been eliminated?” Gongshu Shituo hurriedly flew in front of Gongshu Jin and pretended to ask, but his gaze secretly glanced at Li Yu.

Seeing him looking at the Gate of Fortune, Crafty panicked and wondered if this guy had really discovered something.

Hearing Gongshu Shituo’s words, Gongshu Jin shook his head slightly with a grave expression.

Tai Ri, who was in the array formation, felt anxious.

Refining the Gate of Fortune was not that easy. Even if he burned his blood soul now, he would still need two to four hours to refine it.

He was not sure if Li Yu could discover the abnormality and if that craftiness could help him deceive the heavens and stall for time.

However, right at this moment, the thing he was most worried about happened.

“Disperse!” Li Yu waved his hand, and the space shook. The layers of defensive array formations that enveloped the Gate of Fortune instantly collapsed and dissipated.

Soon, the true scene was revealed.

In an instant, everyone’s gazes gathered on the Gate of Fortune. They saw a person sitting cross-legged in front of the ancient door. His body was bathed in blood, and his blood and magic power fused into a red light that enveloped the entire Gate of Fortune.

Countless strange runes flew out of the strange eyeball between his brows and bombarded the Gate of Fortune.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically, and an uproar broke out.

“Tai Ri!”

“It’s Tai Ri!”

Everyone immediately realized that this person was the real Tai Ri. That was because his eyes and the strange eyeball on his glabella seemed to prove how extraordinary he was.

Everyone was shocked to see Tai Ri’s true appearance.

Furthermore, they never imagined that this fellow they feared was actually by their side and was completely unaware.

This gave them the creeps and a lingering fear.

However, the fake Gongshu Shituo was even more shocked. He did not expect Li Yu to see through everything and immediately tear apart their carefully designed disguise.

This fellow was too terrifying. He even felt that this fellow might be the all-knowing Heavenly Dao that surpassed all living beings in the world.

‘It’s over. My plan is going to be ruined.’

Crafty felt miserable. Everything they had painstakingly planned had been easily destroyed by Li Yu.

It seemed like he could only escape in the chaos!

As long as there was life, there was hope. If he died here, there would be no hope.

Of course, Tai Ri was also lamenting. He did not expect Li Yu to see through everything so easily and expose everything without giving him a chance to breathe.

Now that he had used up his lifespan and cultivation to refine it halfway, all his previous efforts would be in vain. Furthermore, his strength had already been greatly reduced, and it would probably be difficult for him to win against Li Yu.

However, if they did not stop, they would probably only become living targets for Li Yu.
