Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Faced with Li Yelai, who was like a nemesis, Duke Yu Huo felt despair and frustration once again.

Kunpeng's lightning-fast suppression, Qilin's demon-slaying restraint, and every strike a critical hit with overwhelming power.
This left Grand Duke Yu Huo with no choice but to defend. Despite the fact that his opponent lacked divinity, he was repeatedly driven to the brink of death by using even higher numerical values.

He couldn't understand how this human could mimic two myths.
They also didn't understand why its abilities were so special.

As the sky shimmered with golden light, countless divine weapons roared forth, raining down like a meteor shower.

"Is he using me to sharpen his knife?"

As Li Yelai's battle rhythm became increasingly refined, Duke Yu Huo was furious, but dared not confront him directly. His keen senses detected the difficulty of these mental attacks.

He could only try his best to escape and resist.

The greatsword swung wildly, shattering and sending flying the divine weapons.

However, when he dodged a sudden attack, he sensed a physical world beyond the ghost realm, a violent surge of thunder.

It can even summon thunder? If we weren't in the Ghost Realm, the heavens would probably be thundering!
So many tricks up their sleeves! Is this the ninth champion?

Facing Li Yelai, the bizarre and powerful combination of skills left him feeling utterly helpless and desperate. These tactics were too perfect.
"Even a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs."

Duke Yu Huo let out a heavy sigh filled with endless frustration and resentment.

Break!
Cut it again!

It must be said that having experienced escaping from the shattered ghost realm once, Yu Huo became exceptionally decisive when cutting off his own core ghost realm a second time.

Rather than fighting this eerie ninth champion in this ghostly fragment, it's better to die.

Or perhaps we should cut off another piece of 'flesh'?

Preserve as much as possible the last spark of hope for a comeback!

Since we've already escaped in such a humiliating and disgraceful way once, what's wrong with escaping again?

As long as I can survive!

Click!

This already shattered ghostly space, driven mad by the will of the Grand Duke of Remnant Fire, was like a glass mirror struck by a heavy hammer, emitting a second, unbearable wail!
The spatial structure was torn apart and broken open more brutally!

The raging spatial rift, like a greedy maw, instantly devoured a large area, forcibly creating an absolute chasm filled with annihilation storms between Li Yelai's deadly halberd light and the remaining flames and remnants of his soul!
The price, too, came in an instant!
Duke Yu Huo's body convulsed violently, and the pale ghostly fire, like a candle flickering in the wind, suddenly dimmed considerably!

The divine power, already weakened by the first cut, collapsed once again, as if its spine had been removed.

From the barely maintained peak of his dominance, he was irrevocably and violently crushed.

Ultimately, they barely managed to remain at the level of a newly emerging hegemon.

It's not much better than some of the marquises under its command.

The mirror shatters, and space is divided once more!
The embers, carrying the last vestiges of dim white flame, plunged recklessly into the depths of the newly formed, even more violent and chaotic spatial turbulence, like withered leaves swept away by a hurricane. They arrived at a new spatial fragment.

Even though he was prepared, he still felt a pang of heartache. Unlike the advancement of psionicists, those who wish to advance must create a larger core ghost realm, which takes far more time and effort than humans.

He could only tell himself that as long as he had the support of the Yin Army Marshal and the army, he could return to his peak.

However, when the chaotic ghost realm became clear again, he heard a nightmarish sound.

"What a coincidence, we meet again." Li Yelai spread his golden wings and looked down at Duke Yu Huo from high above.

Is it him again?
why?
They've already separated, so why?!

"What was the point of all this sacrifice?" Grand Duke Yu Huo roared madly, and without hesitation, he divided the Ghost Realm once more.

He's now fallen to the level of a newly ascended overlord. Even as a peak overlord, he struggled against Li Yelai; now he has no chance at all. He wasn't instantly killed!
And so, there was no fighting, no speaking. There was no hesitation whatsoever.

Break!
The demon realm, which had just subsided, has been divided once again!

His level plummeted once again, his psychic energy intensity falling below even that of a marquis, dropping him to the sixth level of perception. Only a trace of divinity remained, making him even more powerful than his previous sixth level of perception.

Pain, confusion, frustration.

He held a banquet and invited a large number of nobles. In the core of the ghost realm, he was perfectly fine when the champion killed the assassin king.

He was killed from the Supreme Realm to the Sixth Awakening Realm, his strength reduced to less than one-hundredth.

Hate! Resentment!

However, as the division of the ghost realm subsided once more, he still saw that figure. There was no way to hide, no way to escape!

"Why!" Yu Guangda Gong's eyes were bloodshot and tears were streaming down his face.

Li Yelai raised his halberd once more: "What a coincidence that we've met from afar! Hey? Why are you being so cowardly? Fine, let's have a battle between equals!"

"Fight my foot!" Grand Duke Yu Guang's blood and tears welled up. Who would fight against the champion at the same level?
"Break!"

At this moment, he no longer dared to dream of a comeback. His only goal was to escape this bizarre championship!

Within the shattered space, the shadowy figures confirmed the curse upon Li Yelai.

A dragon meets a tiger!

Once triggered, it will inevitably encounter a powerful enemy, until there are no more powerful enemies within range. This is a dangerous curse of causal level!
But why this curse? Shouldn't a curse of unpredictability be a curse of solitude and misfortune?
What power caused his curse to change? Was it because of this curse that he became a variable?

As for the fate of Duke Yu Huo, the figure didn't seem to care much.

If the embers can hold out until the arrival of the Yin army, they might not necessarily lose to humanity. Even if they are defeated, they can preserve enough of their resources.

However, in order to survive, he chose to actively split the Ghost Realm, weakening his own combat power, which was just courting death.

Caught in the curse of the ninth champion, there is no possibility of escape.

Unless a stronger enemy appears, and given that he has already fallen to the fifth level of enlightenment, and is still falling, even if he escapes, he has no chance of rising again.

Perhaps we can manipulate it and turn it into an opportunity for some humans? Those ghostly army legions would be a pretty good opportunity.

The figure thought this, and with a flicker, prepared to leave.

He has gathered some intelligence on the variables; it's time to go.

However, as Grand Duke Yu Huo repeatedly divided the Ghost Realm, the entire space was directly fragmented.

In desperation, Grand Duke Yu Huo abandoned all his resources! He would stop at nothing to survive!
This caused the figure, who was about to leave, to suddenly freeze.

Because, in front of 'him'.

A figure approached, wielding a halberd, his champion's cape fluttering even without wind.

We are bound to encounter formidable foe; we will meet both dragons and tigers!

Once the Grand Duke was no longer a threat, 'he' appeared before Li Yelai.
