"Smack!"
Apate realized that her origin was being gradually pulled away and began to struggle violently, but Li Xuanzu, who never showed any mercy to women, slapped her head so hard it was crooked.
"Oh, weren't you just about to fight me to the death? Changed your mind now?"
Li Xuanzu's hand injury healed quickly; he had used a lot of force in that slap.
Anyway, Apate is just a projection, so it's hard to kill him no matter how much you mess with him.
But who knows what will happen next.
"They're just ants, are you really going to break our terms just because of that? Deceiving a goddess, are you really that brainless?"
Li Xuanzu tightened his grip, and Apat's essence was completely seized by Li Xuanzu using the Soul-Binding Technique.
"Ha...you've been fooled..."
A very faint sound came from behind.
The scene before Li Xuanzu's eyes suddenly distorted, and Apat, whom he was holding, turned into quicksand and flowed away through his fingers.
"Hahaha! Welcome to the world of deception!"
The surrounding scenery solidified again, but it was a completely different scene.
The Parthenon is a very representative building, which is why Li Xuanzu knew that he was still in Greece.
However, the surroundings seemed to have become the dark side of the world, with everything turning into a predominantly black and purple hue.
Even the Greek people, who had been drained of their blood, actually stood up.
"Pyramid #1: No one can die in my world except for Li Xuanzu!"
A frenzied voice rang out; it was Apate.
As soon as he finished speaking, the "people of Xiguo" came to life and rushed towards Li Xuanzu like madmen.
"Domain? Tsk, I hate that kind of thing the most."
As expected, Li Xuanzu remained remarkably calm. With a stomp of his foot, the blood on the ground rose up, condensing into countless blood servants, forming a crimson wave.
In the clash between the red and black forces, Li Xuanzu's side quickly gained the upper hand.
"Scam number two: In my world, I am the only one who can use my own abilities."
Apate's voice rang out again, but it was much weaker than when she spoke last time.
The blood servants who had suppressed the people of Greece vanished in an instant, leaving no trace.
Li Xuanzu's blood could no longer be mobilized.
The Greek citizens, who had been beaten into a pulp, reformed their bodies once again. Pools of dark purple, viscous liquid, like blood, coalesced into human shapes and charged forward recklessly.
"besides?"
Li Xuanzu raised an eyebrow, realizing that something was amiss.
He wasn't unfamiliar with the concept of domains; they existed on the Blazing Spirit Continent, though they weren't mainstream.
It's something only cultivators who specialize in cultivating divine sense could create.
It has some use, but it's basically impossible to fight opponents of higher levels.
Essentially, it relies on powerful divine sense to create a cage and use the strength of that divine sense to overwhelm the opponent.
Within this cage, which is what Li Xuanzu calls the "domain," these cultivators can freely create anything they want to see.
It's similar to a fantasy world, but much more advanced.
It's rare to see someone like Apate who sets rules for his own domain, and even absolute rules at that.
It appears unbreakable, but in reality, there are clues to follow.
But when the second rule came out and took effect, it was somewhat beyond Li Xuanzu's expectations.
"The power of gods is beyond the comprehension of a mortal like you, Li Xuanzu. You're doomed, hahaha!"
Seeing Li Xuanzu engulfed by the dark purple crowd, Apat burst into laughter without any regard for her image.
Deceiving a goddess? She's a deity, after all. Does she have no combat experience?
They are all described by humans as omnipotent beings, how could they be so stupid?
Everything I did before was just to lower Li Xuanzu's guard.
He has many abilities, but the more powerful He is, the more useless He becomes.
Take this "field" for example.
You can only drag a person into your domain if you touch them for more than five seconds.
Five seconds—if Li Xuanzu's Spirit Binding Technique hadn't been placed right in front of her face, that amount of time would have been enough for Apat to die three times over.
But the more brainless she appeared, the less noticeable and controllable she became in Li Xuanzu's eyes, and the higher the success rate of his abilities.
The ability in this field is simple: to devise deceptions to fool all living beings and inanimate objects within the field, forcing them to follow its "rules."
Of course, this did not come without a price. These two rules alone almost exhausted all the willpower that He and the other three gods had accumulated over the past month.
Fortunately, He succeeded.
The goddess who rules over fraud, how can she deceive people if she doesn't have a brain?
"It's so annoying, there's not a single normal thing here."
Li Xuanzu's voice boomed like thunder, and a large hole was torn open from bottom to top in the mountain of dark purple people.
The source of the sound is from there.
It is true that Li Xuanzu cannot use his abilities, but the "abilities" that Apat refers to seem to only include the Blood Manipulation Technique.
Neither the amplified body nor the vast, ocean-like divine consciousness were affected.
While he cannot manipulate blood, the physical enhancements brought about by the essence and blood absorbed by Li Xuanzu's Blood Manipulation Technique over a long period of time are real.
"How...how could this be?"
"A psychic who amplifies their body? No, wait, where did they get the ability to manipulate blood?"
It sounded like he was muttering to himself, but Apate didn't deliberately lower his voice.
"This is your last chance. If you still don't know what's good for you, don't blame me."
When Li Xuanzu spoke, his eyes were covered with a layer of golden light.
It wasn't that he had a good temper, but rather that the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star had warned him before he went into seclusion that if he killed a god, he would also be buried with him, without any regard for reason.
"Scam Three..."
Apate was about to speak, but her voice stopped abruptly, as if something had choked her.
"Heh, you can't activate your domain ability anymore, can you?"
Li Xuanzu revealed a contemptuous smile that said, "Just as I expected," and spoke calmly.
"Didn't you do any homework to deal with me? Or do you simply not understand the field at all?"
"Impossible! No one understands the power of the God Realm better than me!"
Apate immediately denied it.
"You call your domain the God Realm? If you didn't know, that's fine. I wasn't planning on telling you anyway."
Li Xuanzu wouldn't be foolish enough to teach his sworn enemy about abilities, especially if he couldn't kill them.
In essence, the realm is like playing a seesaw game with people. Whoever has stronger spiritual power is heavier, and the seesaw will tilt to one side. It's the most primitive and simplest kind of duel.
"Are there any other options? If not, then we're not playing anymore."
Li Xuanzu stared intently in a certain direction within the domain.
That was where Apate was hiding.
"I accept your conditions. The blood is ready. Stop killing people."
Apate was very pragmatic and took the initiative to relinquish his domain.
The surrounding area seemed to have opened up color differences, regaining its color.
"You're quite sensible. You even know I can't kill you, so you're making two preparations."
Li Xuanzu's eyes held a hint of approval.
It immediately turned cold, and a huge suction force came from his palm. Apate's body, which had just appeared, was pulled over, and his neck was grabbed again.
"I hope you won't try to fool the goddess with these little tricks; it just makes me look stupid."
After saying that, Li Xuanzu threw Apat on the ground like he was throwing away trash.
"Cough cough cough, phew, phew, I understand."
Apate collapsed to the ground. Because her true form was imprisoned, she was no different from a human, breathing in the fresh air.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Li Xuanzu finally carried fear.
