Chapter 752 The Legacy of Chaos

"That damned cunning strategist is finally dead!"

Li Yelai swung his halberd, shaking off the blood.

In the real world, no human megacities, forbidden zones, or even other chaotic factions can capture a single Chosen One of the Devious Path, and they don't even know how many Chosen Ones exist within a single Devious Path faction. They are far too insidious and mysterious.

Now, in this 'core world', Li Yelai has personally taken down one, thus securing the first kill.

When the last remaining chosen one, who had put up a desperate resistance, was reduced to a pile of minced meat beneath the mountain-like feet of the Bronze Demon God...
The influence of the High Heaven on the material world has been reduced to a minimum.

All the existing Chosen of Chaos from the four major factions have died.

In this world, only Li Yelai remains as the chosen one, the eternal chosen one!
He will inherit all the legacy and heritage left by the four factions.

This naturally includes all the wonders of the four major factions, as well as their elite legions.

“But before that, we have to deal with these guys first.” Li Ye looked at the still chaotic battlefield.

The three forces—the Wanderers, the Alien Legion, and the Chaos Legion—continue their bloody struggle.

As early as when Li Yelai issued the order, both the irrational wanderers and the alien armies had been included in the Chaos Legion's attack list.

Thus began a brutal three-way battle.

Thanks to the Chaos Legion's previous raid on the alien positions, those key Legion teleportation arrays have been completely destroyed. The aliens can no longer cross the Blazing Abyss to bring the war to the human defenses.

Now, all humanity needs to do is hold the Abyss defenses firmly and wait for the enemy on the other side to fight each other and be exhausted.

Li Yelai's gilded wings slowly flapped, carrying the still bewildered Little Mad King away from the bloody battlefield below, flying towards the human defense line.

The bronze demon god emitted a deep hum, its massive body gradually shrinking and liquefying, finally transforming back into a dark, flowing teardrop that fell into Li Yelai's palm.

Having been eroded by the Chaos Sea, the power of the teardrop-like form had severely diminished, almost to the point of being "reset." The six-armed bronze demon god that manifested at its peak now only has one arm remaining; the rest have regressed to its original teardrop form, significantly reducing its combat strength. Otherwise, Li Yelai could have easily commanded the demon god to slaughter the nearly one million enemy soldiers below.

The main reason is that the illusory realm of this world has been completely locked, preventing its divinity from recovering naturally. In addition, the teardrop itself is severely damaged, and unless it can once again imitate the complete form of the Old Mad King, it will be difficult to unleash its true supreme-level power.

Although Li Ye himself turned misfortune into blessing, realizing his "true self" and gaining the opportunity to advance to the level of a hegemon, he could break through once he left this world.

However, the losses on this trip were equally enormous. His only partner, Little Mad King, was still deeply confused, having transformed from a powerful and reliable top assassin into an innocent and ignorant little girl who needed his care and protection.

Although she still instinctively protected Li Yelai, her combat strength had declined significantly, and Li Yelai would not allow her to fight under such circumstances.

And the bionic teardrop, which was their biggest trump card, was almost completely useless.

This made him sigh. After leaving this "world," he would most likely have to face the Heavenly Evolution Walkers guarding the outside, inevitably leading to a fierce battle. The simultaneous problems with his teammates and trump cards were certainly not good news. "Once I get out, I must immediately advance to the Overlord level," Li Yelai decided. "Otherwise, I will have no chance against the Supreme. My final step in achieving mental perfection is already complete; as long as I take the potion, it should come naturally."

"As for using the Styx Horn to awaken the remains of past champions, it should never be used unless absolutely necessary."

Even if the imitation teardrop is destroyed, as long as it is returned to the old Mad King and imitates him again, it will become another hero!
But while waking the corpses of heroes with horns might grant eight hours of peak combat power, once that time is up, they will all return to dust. This tactic should be saved for a counterattack against the forbidden zone, a decisive battle against the supreme ruler, or even a monarch.

If you can avoid using it, then do so.

As for Mr. Shadow, well, he'd love for Li Yelai to be in trouble so he could make a deal with him.

It has a lower priority now; if you're going to use it, you should use it on the king of the penalty area.

Li Yelai composed himself and turned to look at the girl beside him, who was still tightly gripping his arm. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly in the wind, and her usually sharp and indifferent eyes were now filled with nothing but dependence and emptiness.

Ugh.
"My partner," he murmured to himself, "I hope you can come back before then."

The girl didn't respond, but instead gripped Li Yelai's hand tightly, as if in response.

Li Yelai quickly reunited with the human heroes who came to meet him, led by the holy hero Su Qiao and the white stone hero Xia Ming.

"Lord Li Yelai, your decapitation plan has succeeded." Xia Ming spoke first, his eyes filled with approval, but when he saw the girl following closely behind him, his expression slightly hardened: "It seems there was an unexpected turn of events. Has she lost her memory? Similar to the situation where we all briefly forgot about you just now?"

Xia Ming was one of the few who knew Li Yelai's entire plan. The two heroic spirits stabilized the battle situation on the front lines, while the main body used the identity of the Chosen of Chaos to infiltrate behind enemy lines and carry out a decapitation strike.

“We were ‘forgotten.’ The alien race’s strength was more terrifying than we anticipated, and we were caught off guard.” Back at the relatively safe Abyss Defense Line, Li Yelai explained, “I managed to escape, but my partner… still needs some time to recover.”

His gaze turned to the holy and virtuous Su Qiao beside him: "Please help my teammate wash up and check him out, and find him a clean set of clothes to change into."

Su Qiao's gaze lingered on Li Yelai's face, as if trying to find a trace of another person in that face that was identical to Zhu Ye's. But in the end, she confirmed it: even if the faces were the same and the spiritual energy fluctuations were from the same source, the temperament of the person before her was ultimately not that of the champion who walked alone under the moon.

A faint sense of regret swept through her heart. She nodded slightly and stepped forward: "Leave it to me."

However, when she tried to take the girl's hand, she found that the hand was still gripping Li Yelai's arm tightly, the knuckles white from the force, showing no sign of letting go.

Su Qiao shook her head helplessly and looked at Li Yelai: "It seems she can't live without you. Wait a moment, I'll go get the clothes, or you can help her yourself."

Li Yelai shook his head slightly, then said, "Now, what we need to do is take over the entire legacy of the Chaos Faction. During this time, I have already learned the locations of all the branch headquarters and the wonders that are preserved."

"Humanity will discover even more wonders!"
