Multiverse Skill System

"Actually, I can recover on my own."

Yi Shuihan hesitated for a moment before saying that since he was not fully awake, he could only use the Life Source Liquid. But now that he was awake, he could slowly recover with the help of the system. He hadn't died, so it wouldn't take too long to recover. According to his estimate, it would only take a month or so.

Rather than wasting a single drop of Life Essence, Yi Shuihan felt it was more worthwhile to waste a month or two.

"You can recover on your own? Really?"

Salama looked at Yi Shuihan with suspicion. After all, he was very clear about Yi Shuihan's injury. It was not that he couldn't solve it, but if he were to solve it, the cost would probably be more than a drop of Life Essence Liquid. Considering that Yi Shuihan had Life Essence Liquid, he let Yi Shuihan use it to recover.

"Whether those two drops of life essence have already been used or not, it doesn't matter. I'll just ask the old tortoise for more. He's also your master, after all. With such a good disciple like you, who can fight against the Great Dao Emperor after achieving the Dao, two drops of life essence are definitely not enough!"

Before Yi Shuihan could answer, Salama spoke again.

"Wait, I really..."

"Old tortoise, come here quickly! Your apprentice is injured. Bring the Life Source Liquid. I promise you'll regret it if you don't come."

Salama shouted at the small vortex in his hand.

A burst of flesh erupted from the vortex, accompanied by screams of agony.

"Old Long, you almost ruined things. Luckily, I'm skilled, or I would have been killed."

His tone was complaining, but you could hear a hint of smugness in it.

"What, you've been targeted by evil spirits too?"

"Not bad, four in total. You really think highly of me. Old Long, how many do you have over there?"

"There's one more than you, hurry up and come over, we'll talk when we get there."

Salama's expression was somewhat solemn. His old friend's whereabouts were unknown, and only a very few people in the entire universe knew his location. Yet now he had been found so quickly, which meant that the demons had really come prepared this time and were coming with great force.

"Master, what's the situation outside?"

"Let me say it!"

The door opened, and Dongming walked in with a serious expression.

“Master did nothing else to save you; during this time, I was the one contacting the outside world.”

Dongming explained.

Yi Shuihan was slightly taken aback. Seeing Salama's face, which looked a little tired than usual, he felt a warmth in his heart, and his eyes suddenly reddened.

"Master, I..."

"Alright, stop acting like a little girl. I'm your master, it's only right that I do this. Dongming, what do you say?"

Salama waved his hand, making it seem like he didn't care.

"The outside world is in complete chaos. All the forces we can contact have been attacked by demons, suffering heavy casualties. Companies, business alliances, the Multiverse Arena, and others are still at war."

"What about the Demon Extermination Army? They were completely ineffective in this demon invasion, and didn't even issue a warning."

"The Demon Extermination Army..." Dongming paused for a moment, "We can't get in touch with them, but according to information from the company, the Demon Extermination Army, except for the Great Dao Emperor, should have been completely wiped out."

It was terrifying, utterly terrifying. The Demon Extermination Army existed specifically to exterminate demons, and its foundation was incredibly strong. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to resist demons for so many years. But now, the entire army had been wiped out, without even a single message being sent out.

When a Great Dao Emperor falls, a special phenomenon of Dao River shattering occurs, and all the heavens grieve. The Great Dao Emperors of the Demon Extermination Army are all the strongest among the Great Dao Emperors, which is why they are able to confront the evil demons. Now, the evil demons have launched a large-scale invasion but have not been seen. The only possibility is that they are trapped somewhere and may still be fighting a bitter battle.

"Master, what should we do now? Should we go and help?"

Dongming asked.

"Don't take any action for now. Let's wait for the old tortoise to arrive. Besides, even if we were to go help, not all of us could go. This place still needs to be guarded."

Salama thought for a moment and then said.

"Yes, Master."

Dongming nodded.

The Emperor of Life arrived very quickly, arriving in the World of Creation in just over an hour.

"How could you be such a bad master, letting Yi get so badly injured?"

The Emperor of Life examined Yi Shuihan's injuries and said to Salama with dissatisfaction, though he still cared about Yi Shuihan, his adopted disciple.

Salama looked somewhat embarrassed after being reprimanded, because in his mind it was indeed his fault.

"Sigh, never mind. I want to see you become a Great Dao Emperor. I can't let you die like this. Here, take this drop of Life Essence."

Without Salama asking, the Emperor of Life directly took out a drop of Life Essence Liquid and was about to use it on Yi Shuihan.

"Wait, actually I can recover without the Life Source Liquid. It will only take about a month, and I also have the Life Source Liquid here."

Yi Shuihan hurriedly said.

Unfortunately, the Emperor of Life did not believe Yi Shuihan's words at all, and directly let the Life Source Liquid fall on Yi Shuihan. Under his urging, Yi Shuihan's injuries were completely healed in just a few breaths.

“A month is too long. We need to handle this special situation specially. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. A group of Great Dao Emperor-level demons might surround this place. Besides, I can afford to lose a drop of Life Source Liquid.”

"Hurry up and thank your master."

"Thank you, Master."

Yi Shuihan bowed respectfully to the Emperor of Life in gratitude.

Chapter 1476, The Demons Strike Again

After learning the circumstances under which Yi Shuihan was injured, the Emperor of Life was overjoyed. Of course, he was not happy because Yi Shuihan was injured, but because of Yi Shuihan's completely unreasonable fighting power.

"Incredible, incredible! My eye for talent is amazing. The disciples I've taken in are so strong. They can even fight against Great Dao Emperors in the Creation Realm. If they break through to Great Dao Emperor in the future, oh my god, I can't even imagine it."

The Life Emperor no longer cares about the drop of Life Essence that was spent to save Yi Shuihan. With such a disciple, he would consider anything, not just one drop of Life Essence, but even ten or a hundred drops.

To encourage Yi Shuihan, or perhaps to strengthen their relationship once again, the Emperor of Life gave Yi Shuihan another 3 drops of Life Essence Liquid, a very generous gesture, completely unlike his previous attitude of having to think long and hard before giving him 2 drops.

It was indeed a waste that an injury that would have taken more than a month to heal was cured with a single drop of Life Essence Liquid. However, Yi Shuihan soon realized that this waste was a good thing.

Just two days later, a powerful enemy arrived from outside the Creation World again. This time, three Great Dao Emperor-level demons came, fewer than the five last time, but the actual situation was even worse.

All three demons were ridiculously powerful. One of them fought to a standstill with Yi Shuihan's master, Salama. Another completely overwhelmed the Life Emperor. If it weren't for the Life Emperor's strong regenerative abilities, he would probably have died countless times already. As for the last one, Dongming was no match for him and was slightly injured after only a few rounds.

Without a doubt, Yi Shuihan also joined the fight, battling alongside Dongming against a demon.

The demon who was suppressing the Emperor of Life was none other than the leader of the demon faction who fought for the Heart of the Universe, the Five Leaves Demon. He was incredibly powerful, and even the Judgment Emperor, who ranked sixth among the Great Dao Emperors of the myriad realms, could not do anything to him.

The demon who was evenly matched with Salama was of even greater origin, being the third-ranked demon, the Dao-Stealer. This demon's power was extremely strange; not only could it greatly weaken Dao River, but every time a move was used in front of him, it would be unable to be used again for a period of time, as if it had been taken away. Only true power and speed remained unaffected.

"Hey, it's no use. All your attacks will be reflected back. You can't break through my anti-elemental barrier with your strength."

The demon that Yi Shuihan and Dongming faced was of unknown name, so they would temporarily call it the Anti-Demon. The power it possessed was something it called the Anti-Yuan Wall, which was an icosahedron that completely enveloped the Anti-Demon without leaving any gaps.

No matter what kind of attack it is, it will be reflected back, and even doubled, making it much more terrifying than a thorn armor; it's practically a hedgehog.

If you attack the other party, you will get hurt; if you don't attack, the other party will attack you on their own initiative, which is extremely annoying.

"Even the power of the Dao River is being reflected back, this is simply..."

Seeing Dongming's attack using the power of the Dao River being deflected, Yi Shuihan was completely dumbfounded; this battle was too painful.

To be honest, if he were alone, he would definitely consider running away in this situation. Damn it, if he can't beat them, he can at least run away. He can always get revenge when he becomes stronger later.

This Anti-Yuan Barrier is powerful, but it can only bully ordinary Great Dao Emperors. Otherwise, why would it be used to deal with Dongming instead of Salama or the Life Emperor? The reason is simple: this Anti-Yuan Barrier has its limits. It works well against Yi Shuihan and Dongming, but against Salama, it's probably nothing.

The current situation is that Yi Shuihan has no choice but to fight, otherwise even if Dongming and the others can escape, the Creation World will not be able to escape either.

"Holy Spirit, is there any way to break this tortoise shell?"

While engaging in guerrilla warfare, Yi Shuihan contacted the system, as at this point, only the system was reliable.

"The problem cannot be solved for the time being due to insufficient data collection."

"Temporarily? That means there's a way."

"As long as there is enough data, a solution can be found."

"How can we speed up data collection?"

"Host, strike the anti-elemental barrier with all your might and personally experience that power, which will help the system collect data."

Damn, I'll drink it.

"Senior Brother Dongming, step aside. I'll deal with him. I have a plan."

With a loud shout, Yi Shuihan launched a full-scale attack on the anti-demon, just like a warrior.

The fist struck the anti-Yuan barrier, and in the next instant, the powerful counterattack sent Yi Shuihan flying.

"Hey, Xiaxia, it's no use no matter how many times you try."

The anti-demon laughed arrogantly, while Yi Shuihan silently stood up and charged forward again.

With each backward flight, Yi Shuihan's wounds multiplied, yet the frequency of his attacks showed no sign of abating.

Dongming watched anxiously from the side, wanting to help but unable to find a way to do so.

"I'm not playing with you anymore, go to hell!"

Due to his injury, Yi Shuihan's speed was greatly reduced, and the anti-demon seized the opportunity to strike him several times. One of his arms was broken, and countless bones in his body were broken.

This time, Yi Shuihan was so injured that he had difficulty moving.

Dongming could no longer stand by and watch; he stood in Yi Shuihan's lap, neither attacking nor defending against the anti-magic attacks.

His strength was already inferior to that of the anti-magic, and now he couldn't attack and could only passively defend. Every few hits, Dongming was also covered in wounds and wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

"Holy Spirit, are you ready yet?"

"No, but it's almost done; it's already 70% complete."

Gritting his teeth, he took out a drop of life essence, and after a few breaths, Yi Shuihan was full of energy again.

"Senior brother, let me do it."

"How could you recover so quickly? Life Source Liquid, you just used Life Source Liquid?"

Regardless of what the anti-demon was thinking, Yi Shuihan launched another near-suicidal series of attacks.

"What should I do? What should I do? I'm supposed to be the senior brother, but now I have to be protected by my junior brother. How infuriating!"

Dongming watched anxiously from the side, his heart filled with worry.

"So what if you have the life essence? You can't even hurt a hair on my head. You're just wasting more time."

Seeing that Yi Shuihan was still completely unable to overcome the Yuanbi as before, the Demon King was relieved and happily watched as Yi Shuihan was injured by his own power.

Why not attack while reflecting damage? It's not that he doesn't want to reflect magic, but that he can't. He can't take the initiative to attack while maintaining the Anti-Elemental Barrier, otherwise the Anti-Elemental Barrier will temporarily lose its power to reflect damage, leaving only a certain defensive capability.

Chapter 1477, Killing the Anti-Demon

“Young Yi, find a chance to come this way later. I will give you a few drops of Life Source Liquid. Hold on a little longer. If it really doesn’t work, go back to the Creation World. With me and Old Dragon here, these demons can’t do anything to the Creation World for the time being.”

The voice of the Emperor of Life rang in Yi Shuihan's ears. Even under such circumstances where he was being suppressed, the Emperor of Life was still thinking of him. Yi Shuihan was touched a little.

Yi Shuihan naturally also wanted to obtain the Life Source Liquid, as it was a supreme healing treasure. However, he did not want to take it in the same way that the Life Emperor had done.

Before long, Yi Shuihan was once again wounded and tattered by his own power. However, even so, he continued to attack under Dongming's sorrowful gaze, showing that he never gave up despite repeated defeats.

Finally, hard work pays off, and the system notification sound in his mind made Yi Shuihan's eyes light up.

"This time I will not give him a chance to recover. So what if it's the Life Source Liquid? I'll make sure you don't even have a chance to use it."

The anti-demon is secretly accumulating power, and will launch a thunderous attack to kill Yi Shuihan when Yi Shuihan is weakened to a certain extent.

This time, just like many times before, Yi Shuihan's fist slammed hard against the Anti-Yuan Barrier, but the Anti-Demon didn't care at all.

"Seven or eight more times should be enough, right?"

Such thoughts lingered in his mind, but the next moment a sharp pain shot through his body.

"what happened?"

The anti-magic was completely bewildered, especially when he saw that his anti-elemental barrier had not been damaged at all.

"You've passed through? Am I seeing things?!"

Dongming stared blankly at Yi Shuihan, whose arm pierced through the Anti-Yuan Barrier and passed through the Anti-Demon's chest without any hindrance.

Yi Shuihan didn't stop because the anti-demon was in a daze. Learning from the previous experience, even though he felt that this anti-demon wouldn't use a similar move as the evil demon last time, he immediately withdrew his fist and then swung it out again.

In the blink of an eye, Yi Shuihan unleashed tens of thousands of punches, leaving the demon's body riddled with holes, making him even more miserable than Yi Shuihan was now.

"what!"

The demon, realizing what was happening, cried out in agony and tried to retreat away from Yi Shuihan.
