Li Yu had no time to dodge!
He could feel that power locking onto his soul, inescapable.
He could only parry with the spear of longinus, blocking with all his might!
An invisible heavy blow struck the spear shaft, and immense power surged through the spear, instantly engulfing his entire body!
Pfft!
A large mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Li Yu's mouth; his internal organs felt as if they had been crushed by a giant wheel, a tearing pain radiating through him.
He was like an out-of-control cannonball, violently smashed into the hard seabed below, which had not yet completely thawed and still harbored the chill of Absolute Zero, yet it instantly shattered under the impact!
Li Yu's body was deeply embedded in the seabed, creating a bottomless giant pit, and surrounding rubble cascaded down, instantly burying the pit entrance, leaving only a dark, dead silence.
"Master!"
Hyoga's heart-wrenching roar echoed through the deep sea; he wanted to rush over but was firmly suppressed by Sea Emperor Poseidon's divine power.
"Lord Li Yu!"
The wild joy of Seiya, Shiryu, and the others instantly turned to despair; the glimmer of hope that had just ignited seemed to be completely extinguished by this blow, and the light on their bronze cloths dimmed to the extreme.
Shura and Aphrodite's eyes were bloodshot; they gripped their weapons, wanting to break through the divine domain to rescue him, but were bounced back by an invisible barrier, able only to watch helplessly as the giant pit was buried by rubble, their eyes filled with powerlessness.
The spear of longinus slipped from Li Yu's hand, obliquely embedded in the ground far away, the purple lightning on its shaft gradually extinguishing, leaving only the ancient dark brown Texture, which also slowly lost its vitality.
"It's over! The struggles of an ant!"
Poseidon's voice was as cold as ice; he stood tall before his divine throne, golden divine light enveloping his entire body, his figure majestic and inviolable.
He looked down at the giant pit buried by rubble, without a trace of pity in his eyes.
In his view, this mortal who had blasphemed a god had already completely turned to dust.
The Saints, continuously subjected to impacts, fell into complete despair.
There was a dead silence in the giant pit, only the sound of rubble continuously sliding down, and the cold seawater slowly covered the pit entrance, attempting to completely swallow that darkness.
Just at this suffocating moment, a drop of golden blood suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The blood emitted a faint but resilient light, carrying a sacred aura, and accurately fell into the center of the giant pit.
That was Athena's blood, a bottle of divine blood that Saori Kido had no choice but to give him before sending Li Yu to investigate the Tartarus Abyss.
Drip!
The blood gently landed on the cracked aquarius gold cloth.
Buzz!
That drop of golden divine blood, like hot oil dripping into ice water, instantly erupted with a light far more brilliant and warmer than the sun.
This light was pure and holy, carrying the will of guardianship and great love, dispelling the darkness in the giant pit, and even temporarily overshadowing Poseidon's divine golden light, illuminating the entire deep sea as if it were daytime.
In the light, the Gold Cloth on Li Yu's body underwent a tremendous transformation!
The originally dark golden armor plates melted and reshaped, becoming more streamlined and sacred, like the most exquisite work of art in mythology.
Countless intricate and profound runes flowed across the surface of the Cloth; those runes were like a star evolution chart, each rotation emitting a sacred aura.
The blue stardust that had previously adorned the Cloth completely disappeared, replaced by countless crystal light points condensed from pure divinity, layered and incredibly magnificent.
Four huge and graceful Light God Sashes slowly unfurled behind Li Yu.
Those sashes were condensed from pure radiance and Cosmo, with ice crystal dust flowing along their edges, as if a legendary angel had descended, carrying the majesty to purify all.

Athena's blood not only repaired the Cloth but also completely healed Li Yu's injuries.
This is the final blow, a flash of realization crossed Li Yu's mind, he no longer hesitated, transforming all his divinity and soul power into four basic attributes!
At this moment, his attributes had become:
[Name: Li Yu (World Hunter 003)]
[Strength: 88,530,000]
[Agility: 88,480,000]
[Spirit: 83,290,000]
[Constitution: 83,200,000]
[Divinity: 0]
[Soul Power: 0]
[Cosmo: Eighth Sense Alaya-vijñana]
Li Yu's vast Cosmo, like the Big Bang, erupted with Li Yu at its center!
The rubble in the deep pit slowly floated upwards, defying gravity, and ice crystals appeared out of nowhere beneath Li Yu's feet; he slowly ascended, his dark eyes coldly gazing at Poseidon.
This Cosmo, cold yet imbued with the raging power of thunder, Li Yu's Cosmo, directly broke through Sea Emperor Poseidon's divine domain, dividing Atlantis into two distinct realms.
On one side was Sea Emperor Poseidon's divine Cosmo, suppressing all ages, and on the other was Li Yu's unique mortal Cosmo.
"This kind of power, how could it possibly be possessed by a human..."
Poseidon lost his composure for the first time, uttering a voice of extreme astonishment, the golden trident in his hand trembled slightly, and his golden eyes were filled with disbelief.
From Li Yu, he felt a true power capable of threatening him!
That kind of Cosmo had already faintly surpassed the Eighth Sense; one step further, and it would be the realm of gods, proof that a mortal had broken through the limits and touched the divine level!
All the Saints present were struck by lightning, staring dumbfounded at the figure bathed in golden light.
Hyoga's mouth hung open, tears streaming down uncontrollably, his previous despair completely swept away, leaving only shock.
He and Isaac wiped away their tears together, choking back sobs.
"Master..."
Shura and Aphrodite's voices trembled with excitement.
"God... God Cloth! The highest form of Cloth, rumored to only awaken when bathed in the Goddess's blood!"
Camus, slowly awakening in the ice coffin, looked at the familiar figure, his blue eyes filled with confusion, then turning to shock.
He finally understood that the gap between himself and Li Yu was no longer a matter of the depth of their mastery of the Way of Ice, but a chasm of realms.
