Li Yu sensed the powerful Cosmo, like a vast ocean, emanating from the mysterious palace, and he immediately understood.
The revival of Ophiuchus was the price he paid for changing the course of world history; though unexpected, it was reasonable. How could going against the gods be smooth sailing?
He glanced at the Zodiac Temple torches burning brightly on the Summit of Holy Mountain, and unknowingly, one had already extinguished!
By this calculation, Saori Kido's life had less than 22 hours left.
Now with the addition of the mysterious Ophiuchus Palace, the Bronze Five, no matter what, would not be able to pass through the Twelve Palaces within the allotted time.
Li Yu understood that this suddenly appearing Ophiuchus Palace was not for the Bronze Five to challenge; this palace was Li Yu's trial, his necessary path to break through the shackles of destiny!
A flicker of understanding arose in Li Yu's heart, and he slowly walked up the Holy Mountain.
As soon as he approached Aries Palace, he saw Mu standing in front of it, his brows tightly furrowed as he stared at the newly appeared palace.
Mu's light purple long hair fluttered in the wind, his face filled with doubt and solemnity, even the tools for repairing Cloth in his hand, he forgot to put away.
"Mu, Saori Kido is at the foot of the Holy Mountain; help me guard her for a while."
Li Yu walked forward, his expression calm, as if the palace emitting a terrifying Cosmo was just an ordinary building.
Mu subconsciously nodded, then came back to his senses, asking with a puzzled expression.
"Strange, Sanctuary has never had this palace; how could it suddenly appear?"
Li Yu smiled faintly, his tone carrying a hint of profound meaning.
"Since ancient times, Sanctuary originally had thirteen Gold Palaces, but the owner of this palace was completely sealed away for betraying Athena."
Mu, as a Gold Saint and a member of the Jamir Tribe, was well-versed in the history of Sanctuary.
Hearing this, he suddenly widened his eyes, distant memories flooding his mind, his eyebrows shot up, and his voice was filled with unbelievable shock.
"Could… could it be that man who was called a god…?"
Li Yu nodded slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, he has returned from the Underworld."
"Wait a moment, Li Yu!"
Mu quickly called out to him.
Li Yu didn't look back, leaving Mu with a cool silhouette.
"What, Mu, do you want to stop me?"
Mu shook his head, his voice filled with worry.
"You're not wearing a Cloth. That's Ophiuchus; he's a god. Even if you're strong…"
Li Yu chuckled at his words, a cold curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry, at my stage, wearing a Cloth or not makes little difference."
His aquarius gold cloth was currently in Aquarius Palace, a gift he had carefully prepared for Hyoga. He didn't want to disrupt his plans for the sake of Ophiuchus.
Moreover, if it truly came down to it, he had a second option.
In the Reincarnation Space, the sagittarius gold cloth was radiating golden light, always awaiting his summons!
Li Yu said no more, turning and walking towards the palace adorned with serpent-like patterns.
Mu gazed deeply at his retreating figure, suddenly feeling a great sense of peace. Having someone who could suppress the current era, as his colleague, was not without its blessings.
Mu put away his tools and hurried towards Saori Kido's ice coffin.
Before long, Li Yu arrived at the second palace, Taurus Palace?!
Seiya was just sent flying high by Aldebaran's Great Horn attack!
In mid-air, Seiya spat blood and fell heavily to the ground.
He struggled to prop himself up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and stubbornly got back on his feet, chuckling.
"Again! Today, I'm definitely going to break your bull horns!"
Aldebaran was about to speak, but his voice froze in his throat.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a man who absolutely should not have appeared here.
His black hair danced in the wind, his white clothes like snow. Li Yu, without wearing a Cloth, slowly walked into Taurus Palace.
Seiya and Aldebaran simultaneously widened their eyes, their hearts filled with inexplicable astonishment.
Li Yu?
Shouldn't you be guarding Saori Kido?
What are you doing up here?
Are you here to help me (Seiya) pass the trial?
Didn't you tell me to stop them?
If you're here, who's guarding Saori Kido?
Li Yu seemed to know what they were thinking at that moment. He continued walking into Taurus Palace without stopping.
"Don't worry, Saori Kido is being guarded by Mu. You two fight your battle; I have other matters!"
As Li Yu was about to step into Taurus Palace, Aldebaran's deep voice rang out.
"Wait a moment!"
Li Yu frowned slightly and stopped.
Aldebaran grumbled.
"Li Yu, I know I'm not your opponent, but I want to know how big the gap between us still is!"
"So…"
Aldebaran clasped his hands together.
"Please, fight me with one move, just one move. It won't delay you for long…"
Are you a masochist?
Li Yu looked helpless and nodded.
Aldebaran was overjoyed and was about to make his move when he suddenly caught sight of Seiya, who was standing by, wide-eyed and full of anticipation.
Aldebaran's eyes darted, and he shouted at Seiya.
"Hey, kid, turn your back. You absolutely cannot turn around until I say so, got it?!"
Seiya's face stiffened. This was the battle of Li Yu, the strongest Saint in the current era! Just observing it should teach him a lot!
Ahhh!
Damn it, this old bull, I'll fight you later!
Seiya only heard Aldebaran's angry roar behind him.
"Li Yu, I've tolerated you for too long at the Pope's Palace! Take this, Great Horn!"
Li Yu's indifferent voice rang out.
"Is that so? Then you've truly suffered!"
Bang!
Ah!
Slap!
Seiya secretly looked back, just in time to see Aldebaran getting up from the ground, wiping blood from his mouth. Li Yu was already gone.
Damn it, I couldn't even last one move. Did I lose?
This time, he didn't even force Li Yu to use his ultimate technique. How strong is this guy, exactly?
As soon as Aldebaran got up, he saw Seiya turning around and looking at his disheveled state.
The two stared at each other, and the atmosphere in front of Taurus Palace instantly froze.
Aldebaran's killing intent rose. He cracked his knuckles and grinned menacingly.
"Kid, you saw me make a fool of myself, didn't you? You're dead. I've decided, I'm going to break your limbs and throw you down the mountain!"
Seiya also looked depressed.
"You couldn't even last one move, and you still have the nerve to blame me? You're going too far! I'll fight you!"
The two found each other increasingly repulsive, and they both erupted with an unprecedented Cosmo, unleashing their ultimate techniques!
"Pegasus Meteor Fist!"
"Great Horn!"
Sensing the two violently colliding Cosmos behind him, Li Yu shook his head.
Was Aldebaran enraged and taking it all out on Seiya?
Hang in there, Seiya. But you have Athena's blood-lock cheat, so it should be fine.
Among the Bronze Five, Seiya was the most tenacious. No matter how many times he was knocked down, he would always get back up, which is why the five Bronze Saintss earned the title of Bronze Five.
Other Bronze and Silver Saints usually died in one hit.
Seeing the Bronze Five, Li Yu had a direct understanding of how biased Athena was.
Unknowingly, Li Yu was already in front of Gemini Palace!
A diamond-shaped white ice crystal lit up on his brow as he walked into Gemini Palace!
This was his self-created Aquarius mental technique, 'Heart Like Ice,' which, by freezing his sympathetic nerves, made him immune to all illusions, dreamscapes, and mirages!
It was the bane of all illusion-type abilities.
Saga had just ascended to Pope and had not personally come.
His Gemini Gold Cloth stood silently in the center of the palace, and Saga's Cosmo, imbued with both evil and justice, enveloped the entire palace within the Cloth.
The four Bronze Saintss were stumbling around in Gemini Palace as if they were drunk.
In this life, due to Li Yu's intrusion and interference, Shiryu had not gone blind, and all four were trapped in Saga's illusionary labyrinth.
Li Yu glanced at the mountain-top torch; the second torch was about to extinguish.
He frowned slightly; this progress was a bit slow. Li Yu transmitted a message into Shiryu's ear.
"Only by abandoning the influence of the five senses can you successfully pass the trial!"
