Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Upon entering the land of opportunity, they were immediately transported to the ancestral tomb of the snake people, a place teeming with murderous intent.

I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck.

Perhaps, both.

But Li Yelai believes that good luck played a bigger part; otherwise, how could he have received the last wishes of his compatriots, which were carved in blood and tears across the long river of time?
After setting the altar ablaze with the remains, Li Yelai and Little Mad King began searching for the entrance to the snake-man's tomb.

This is not difficult for Li Yelai now.

After activating the Deceptive God's Chosen Face, the entire mysterious formation of the Great Tomb can be seen through at a glance. The denser the traps, the more important the core of that formation.

It was much larger than imagined, and the two people were only in the surface area of ​​its underground palace.

Li Yelai's expression was cold. From the recorded text, he learned that the Serpent People civilization had captured 'other races,' including humans, and used them as slaves or food. In order to build this underground palace, the Serpent People had slaughtered countless humans, leaving behind only blood and bones.

Today, the snake-people civilization has declined. The human champion, however, has, over time, responded to the regrets of his people!

This heinous blood debt will be repaid by Li Ye!
“If the snake-people civilization still exists, our commotion should attract them. At the same time, my inevitable powerful enemy will also draw them here.” Looking at the entrance to the underground palace in front of him, Li Yelai pondered, “This place might be a good opportunity to wipe them out.”

Li Yelai's curse is not just that he will inevitably encounter powerful enemies. With the blessing of misfortune, he will inevitably trigger more traps after entering the underground palace, which will be an opportunity!
However, the complex and dimly lit environment of the underground palace is also the Little Mad King's advantageous battlefield!
She can eliminate enemies silently and quickly reduce their numbers amidst the chaos.

Who would have thought that a top assassin would be hiding in a trap that was suddenly triggered?
So, after chiseling open the gate to the underground palace, Li Yelai wielded his halberd and left striking inscriptions on the ruins.

The chaotic aura emanating from the handwriting was enough to prove his identity.

Afterwards, Li Yelai and Little Mad King entered the underground palace. Little Mad King's figure flickered, leaving a shadowy clone in the shadows of the palace entrance.

The underground palace contains a maze-like maze of passageways and numerous traps.

Within that narrow tomb passage, the chainsaw-wielding chariots that were previously destroyed will unleash extraordinary destructive power. Moreover, compared to the traps on the surface, the traps within the underground palace are far more sophisticated and deadly.

There are even some guardian statues that can move and attack.

It was a stone statue with a snake's head and a lion's body. When a target entered its warning range, it would launch a frenzied attack.

Wielding a greatsword, it can spew poison or fire, and even unleash psionic lightning.

Until the enemy is eliminated or moved far enough away.

Even with the Demonic Path Mask activated, Li Yelai was able to detect the existence of psionic traps.

However, along the way, they still triggered several stone statues and other traps.

There's no way around it; even the chosen one of the unorthodox paths can't guarantee what chain reaction will occur when someone takes a step or makes another move.

Even the Chosen One of the Devious Path is tormented by misfortune. And yet he has the audacity to claim he can suppress the curse during corruption. The Lord of Myriad Changes is truly a liar.

When Li Yelai and Xiao Kuangwang destroyed the stone statue, they saw broken snake eggs inside and deformed snake-human flesh and bones that had grown from within. These snake-humans had almost become one with the statue, growing corresponding venom sacs and fire-breathing or even power-generating organs within it.

"They even use their own people as traps?" Li Yelai sneered.

The cunning blessing allowed him to understand its techniques to some extent.

The specially modified snake eggs hatched directly inside the stone statue and grew within a designated space, developing various special organs that granted the statue psionic attack capabilities. How insidious!

Using their own people as tomb guardians, it's no wonder they were defeated by humans.

After venturing some distance into the depths of the underground palace, Li Ye found a relatively safe area.

Or rather, multiple traps have been triggered, and there are no safe zones within the area that can trigger traps anymore.

Once all the traps that can be triggered are activated, this place will naturally be safe.

"This distance is about right."

Li Yelai said, "I will inevitably encounter a powerful enemy who will gradually bring me to my side, provided I can get past those traps!"

This is Li Yelai's method, an astonishing tactic that inevitably leads to encountering powerful enemies. These powerful enemies will be lured to Li Yelai through various 'accidents' or subjective factors.

They might have a sudden inspiration and think that a certain path contains a shortcut.

They might 'accidentally' trigger a mechanism, be forced onto this path by an explosion or trap, and thus 'just happen' to find Li Yelai.

When countless coincidences and inevitabilities intertwine, like invisible threads of fate, they pull, compel, and tempt them, step by step traversing a perilous region, until they arrive before Li Yelai! This is the formidable foe they are destined to encounter!
"Come, cross the battlefield I have chosen, step over those dangerous traps, and come before me at all costs!" Li Yelai slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. The power of the Chosen One of the Deceptive Path allowed him to temporarily modify the probability.

What he needs to do is naturally maximize the probability of triggering the trap!

The Little Mad King concealed his clones in the shadows along the way, ready to assassinate any enemies crossing the underground palace at any time.

Then she asked, "Among the powerful figures who have arrived, there might be a Supreme Being, or even a very high probability."

To mobilize a Supreme Being just to kill Li Ye, a mere Sixth Awakening? That's rather astonishing.

But the Celestial Traveler would indeed do that.

The Rat is the best proof. In fact, the Heavenly Evolution Walker may have mobilized more than one Supreme Being in order to kill Li Yelai.

As of now, official reinforcements have not yet arrived. With their combined strength, it's far too difficult for them to contend with a Supreme Being. Not to mention the possibility of being surrounded.

Imitation teardrops might be targeted.

After the fog of disaster, the existence of teardrops was no longer a secret.

Chaos artifacts do exist, but they require a large number of blood sacrifices. It's unclear whether the Chaos faction can gather enough offerings.

Little Mad King reminded him, "Unless absolutely necessary, you must not reveal your identity as a human champion."

Currently, Li Yelai's identity as the Fallen Emperor remains a secret to the Heavenly Evolution Walkers. From their perspective, Li Yelai is the Chosen One of Chaos, their ally.

As long as Li Yelai continues to act as Emperor Yun, they will never guess that he is their target.

"Our group is unmatched as long as there is no Supreme. We must not reveal our identities until we are certain that we can kill them to silence them or sever their connections with each other."

The usually quiet Little Mad King was giving careful instructions at this moment.

“I know.” Li Yelai nodded. “I will use my bad luck as much as possible to ‘drag them down,’ to wear them down, and to create excitement!”

"After all, the gap between you, with your sixth sense, and the Supreme Being is too vast. Without entering the Divine Favor realm, you don't even possess divinity. Once the Imitation Tear is targeted, the Supreme Being can kill you in no time," the Little Mad King said. "Unless you find an opportunity."

An opportunity to rise to the top!
If this place of opportunity is truly as miraculous as the person who held the book described.

This will also be Li Yelai's opportunity to become a hegemon!

The champion who rises to the top has the power to fight against the supreme!
Meanwhile, they were first drawn by the thick smoke rising from the altar.

They were two nobles from the Sands of Time, along with their subordinates. Compared to Li Ye, they possessed relatively more intelligence.

They were prepared when they entered the whirlpool, so they were not scattered too far.

Therefore, they were able to quickly gather some of their forces.

One overlord, three sixth-level awakening experts, and a considerable number of fourth- and fifth-level awakening elites from forbidden zones—this already constitutes a formidable force. After their battle with the Chaos faction they encountered, they discovered the changes here and immediately came to investigate.

"Is this the tomb of the snake people?" The nobleman of the desert was somewhat surprised. "Unfortunately, it's not our core objective. Nor is it the giant civilization we're looking for."

“The core objective will have to be handled personally by those lords. What we need to do is to plunder as much of this civilization’s heritage as possible. Snake people, bone people, and night demons are all our targets. Now that we’ve found this snake people’s tomb, there’s no way we’re giving up,” another Sand Sea nobleman said.

“But it seems someone got here before us.” A powerful psychic from the forbidden zone looked into the distance, where there were many triggered traps and even a huge war chariot.

"What's there to be afraid of? The passage has only been open for half a day. Even if they find this place, they won't have time to investigate anything useful. They might still be inside. We can just block them out!" the nobleman sneered.

Immediately, they saw the opened entrance to the underground palace, and the dense chaotic aura remaining on it.

"Ha!" The two nobles from the desert were so angry that they laughed instead. What a small world!

This intense aura of chaos must have come from a chosen one of the gods.

The situation became clear: it was that damned Chosen One of the Fallen Emperors!
When they searched the surrounding area and found only one person's trace, they were overjoyed.

"Very well, Emperor Fall. You've finally fallen into our hands!"

The two nobles sneered, their laughter filled with cruelty.

As for why they only found traces of one person, that's because, as a top assassin, Little Mad King left no trace whatsoever.

From their perspective, the chosen one who ordered the attack on the fleet was alone! And he had even entered this underground palace by himself!

"Let's go, block him up, and kill him!"

"He killed so many of my men and servants, I'll twist his head off!"

"Don't let him get away!"

"Wait, should we wait for the other adults?"

"Wait my ass! Are we supposed to wait for their Chaos Legion to fully assemble? Let's take advantage of him being alone and kill him!"

"If we can't kill this chosen one with six senses, then we're all going to die!"

The previous naval battles had inflicted heavy losses on them, leaving them utterly frustrated. As a restricted area, when had they ever suffered such humiliation?

Now that they have the opportunity to ambush and kill Emperor Yan, how could they possibly let it go? As for offending the Chaos faction, that's laughable; the two sides never had a good relationship to begin with.

Filled with overwhelming malice, they swept away the chaotic aura and rushed directly into the underground palace.

Minutes after they entered the underground palace, the ground trembled, and a large army approached.

Two Chaos Demon Generals, leading hundreds of Vampires and Plague Knights, also arrived here.

They rushed here immediately after sensing the chaotic aura. However, the aura disappeared midway, so they could only follow the direction of the smoke and eventually found this place.

At this moment, looking at the numerous traces of activity left nearby, and the erased writing at the entrance to the underground palace.

The two demon generals at the head of the group changed their expressions. They quickly pieced together the truth.

The Emperor of Demise left behind a chaotic aura and inscriptions here. But the people of the Forbidden Zone arrived even earlier! They erased the inscriptions and entered the tomb.
Could it be that Lord Emperor Yun is also inside?
"Oh no! Lord Emperor Yun is in danger!"

"Quickly! All troops, full speed ahead!"

"Protect Lord Emperor Fall!"

The Chaos Demon General roared and led his legion into the underground palace.

After that, two figures appeared in the sky above the ruins.

"It seems to be the Chaos Legion and the Sands of Time. Have they entered the Serpent King's Tomb?" The gray-robed walker frowned. "It looks like a conflict is about to break out. Emperor Fall has offended them terribly."

“They should be allies in dealing with the variables, not fighting amongst themselves,” another traveler said. “Go and mediate. They should save their strength to deal with the human champion.”

"This is not a good situation. Di Yun was forcibly placed here. Given his personality, he might want to take all the spoils. After all, he is the Chosen One of Chaos."

“Alright, I’ll go. At least that will prevent them from getting bogged down in internal strife. You continue guiding the other teams. Especially those few; they must get into the core!” the gray-robed walker said.

Immediately, it transformed into a streak of light and rushed into the underground palace.

"What a nuisance, damned variables!" The other traveler turned and left. He, too, had an important mission.

Finally, the creatures from the forbidden zone, the Throat of the Undersea Forbidden Zone, arrived.

Those were merfolk, both men and women, who were extremely handsome or beautiful, their racial beauty on par with that of angels.

They have beautiful ear fins and huge tails, making them incredibly powerful in underwater combat.

At this moment, their fish tails transformed into legs. Although their combat strength decreased, it also allowed them to move freely on land.

At the same time, they are also the strongest faction here.

They responded with a cold laugh after discovering the traces here.

"How could the opportunities within the territory of Guixu be allowed to be tainted by these land creatures?"

"Who cares if they're some kind of forbidden land or a Chaos faction! They're all damned outsiders!"

The leader was a male merman named Haihui.

He brandished his trident and gave the order he regretted most.

"Move the entire army out and annihilate them all!"

None of the four groups of people who entered the underground palace noticed.

A tall figure, hidden in the shadows, witnessed the entire process.

That was the clone left behind by the Little Mad King at the entrance.

Immediately, the clone picked up the greatsword in its hand and caught up with the last of the merman troops.

The hunt begins! (End of Chapter)
