Back to the video.

Just as the Herrscher of the Void was about to pierce through Fu Hua's heart with the Void Lance, the sky suddenly lit up with a world-burning fire.

Several sword shadows descended from the clouds without warning, each burning golden-cracked fissures into the Imaginary barrier.

"Who!"

Feeling the scorching air around her, a hint of panic flashed in the Herrscher of the Void's eyes.

She sensed a power surpassing Herrscher authority descending.

A crisp shattering sound echoed in the Herrscher of the Void's ears, the sound of her Imaginary barrier crying out in distress.

The moment the Godfall Sword - Surtr slashed down, she was forced to take half a step back uncontrollably.

"Who exactly are you..."

Her question was drowned out by a massive roar.

"Let go—of me!!!"

Amidst the roar, the Godfall Sword's edge surged in power.

Ye Li, using the propulsion from the Crimson Knight Armor's overload burst, transformed into a crimson rainbow light that pierced through heaven and earth.

[Is he here?]

[He's here!!!]

[Waaah, my husband Ye Li is finally here!]

[Damn it, this is getting me fired up!]

[Holy crap, Ye Li, your entrance made me, a guy, get a physical reaction!]

[Hehehe~ Ye Li... husband... use me...]

In the video, faced with the sky-obscuring crimson light, the Herrscher of the Void could only choose to evade its sharpness.

Ye Li scooped up Fu Hua, who was falling from the sky, with one arm and safely set her aside.

[One-armed princess carry!!!]

[-swap Fu Hua]

[Husband's arms are so strong, I can barely take it!!!]

[Unbelievable, he can even drive on this broken road?]

"Hua, your current injuries mean you can't go on. Hurry and leave, leave the rest to me!"

"But you're also..."

Boom!

The ground suddenly exploded, creating a ten-meter-deep crater as the Herrscher of the Void shot up into the sky, enveloped in four-colored flames.

Countless Void Lances reformed in the air, their dense tips aimed at the two of them.

"Hurry and go!"

Ye Li pushed Fu Hua in his arms away and waved the Godfall Sword, "Annihilation," with one hand, deflecting the attacking Void Lances.

"Trust me, I have a way."

The last thing Fu Hua saw was Ye Li, holding the fiery greatsword, gradually disappearing into the void space teleportation gate.

Ye Li listened to the sound of the spatial rift closing behind him and raised a hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

The Godfall Sword - Surtr sensed its master's fighting spirit, and the flames rising from its blade illuminated his pale smile: "Now... it's time to settle the score."

Inside the void space.

The Herrscher of the Void, descending from the sky, looked at the person before her with a mocking expression.

Back then, when she had just received the gods' favor, she didn't know how to properly use her Herrscher powers.

As a result, she was jointly beaten by this man and that flat-chested woman.

But now, everything had turned around.

Indeed, there was a limit to human strength!

As time passed, humans would age and decay, but she, as a messenger of the gods, was different!

Therefore, throwing herself into the embrace of the great god was the most correct decision she had ever made!

Sensing the weakness of the person before her, the Herrscher of the Void felt an immense surge of arrogance.

Indeed, that power that transcended Herrscher abilities earlier was just her imagination.

Or perhaps, that power was an attack this man could only unleash by burning his life force.

It made sense.

He had received the blessings of a god, while his opponent was merely a human.

How could a mere human possibly defeat him, an apostle of a god!

"Do you really think you can escape judgment?"

The Herrscher of the Void sneered, "Just you wait. After I finish you off, it'll be your companions' turn."

As soon as she finished speaking, countless crystal clusters suddenly erupted within the void space.

The moment Ye Li swung his sword and shattered them, he felt a strong spatial vibration from behind him.

Countless portals instantly opened around him.

The Herrscher of the Void grinned and tugged at her fingertips. The Void Lances within the portals lunged at him like venomous snakes.

Ye Li swung his greatsword with all his might. The scorching Godfall Sword radiated with sharp light, destroying tens of thousands of Void Lances in the air.

However, before Ye Li could even catch his breath, he suddenly felt the surrounding air begin to turn turbid.

What followed was a powerful suction force emanating from his chest.

Pulled by the Herrscher of the Void's authority, Ye Li was like a puppet whose strings were being pulled. He was flung onto a giant purple crystal.

Bang!

The crisp sound of bone cracking was exceptionally piercing in the space, and it also made the people in the real world break out in a cold sweat for Ye Li.

They truly couldn't fathom how vast the gap between the enemy and themselves was.

Seeing Ye Li's tragic appearance in the video, everyone felt an immense sorrow in their hearts.

"Struggle with all your might!"

The Herrscher of the Void's eyes flashed with hatred as she waved her fingers.

At the same time, the giant purple crystal encasing Ye Li's body began to rotate like a Rubik's Cube.

Upon seeing this, everyone in front of the screen took a collective deep breath.

When they saw the Herrscher of the Void shatter the purple crystal cluster containing Ye Li into pieces in an almost playful manner, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.

[No way! Bro!]

[He was fine just now, how did the situation turn around so quickly!]

[Wuwuwu, hang in there, Ye! My Ye!]

[From what we saw earlier, Ye Li's new armor is indeed powerful, but it also puts a great burden on his body.]

[I thought Otto had a change of heart, actually giving Ye Li a set of armor for free. Now it seems he never had good intentions!!!]

[Otto, die a hundred times!!!]

As the dust settled, the Herrscher of the Void contemptuously retracted her Void Lance and turned to leave, looking at the giant crater before her.

"Hmph~ That's all you've got..."

As the screen gradually darkened, the hearts of the people in the real world also sank.

Suddenly, just as people thought it was over, the scene abruptly shifted.

Accompanied by a golden light, a large red sword flew towards the Herrscher of the Void.

Hearing the sound of the air being torn behind her, the Herrscher of the Void turned back in surprise.

Herrscher of the Void: !!!

Seeing the greatsword only a hair's breadth away from her forehead, her strong survival instinct made her quickly use her Herrscher authority to transfer it.

The greatsword passed through the void portal, and with a loud 'bang!', it was powerfully embedded into a distant stone tablet.

Such a thrilling scene made the Herrscher of the Void's breathing become noticeably heavier.

What was even more surprising was that she could hear that man's heavy breathing.

From the depths of the ruins came the sound of metal grinding. Ye Li, covered in blood, slowly stood up from the rubble, propping himself up with the Godfall Sword.

Only half of the Crimson Knight Armor remained hanging on his body. Three broken ribs could be seen piercing his skin on his exposed chest, but his hand gripping the sword hilt remained as steady as a rock.

His steps were slow, but they exerted immense pressure on the Herrscher of the Void.

As Ye Li slowly approached, the background music titled "NightgLow" also began to play in sync with the video.

"Are your attacks finished? It's my turn now, no objections, right!"

Upon seeing this scene, all the netizens in the real world were deeply moved, and the barrage of comments on the screen scrolled by rapidly.

[Husband (crying)!!!]

[Stop fighting, please stop fighting, wuwuwu.]

[This is too tragic, this BGM is messing with us!]

[Can Ye Li win?]

[Hang in there, Ye: I will win!]
