Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

At this moment, Li Yelai was in a terrible state.

The Bright Armor was torn to shreds by the sharp teeth and monstrous strength of the Tindaros Hound, leaving only a few fragments barely clinging to his body, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Beneath the tattered armor lay his battered body, old wounds upon new ones, crisscrossed with deep claw marks that revealed the bone, and a mangled mess of exposed flesh, even revealing glimpses of the stark white bones.

Most shockingly, three blood spears pierced through his chest and abdomen, their tips dripping thick, dark red blood.

His once handsome face was now being soaked and refined by the boundless golden sea, his skin and flesh melting away to reveal half of his gums.

Blood streamed down his fingertips and arm, dripping onto the Tindaros hound and becoming food for the monster.
Yet, this was a figure who seemed to be on the verge of death, his life hanging by a thread.

This caused the overlord of the restricted area, as well as powerful figures like Zhen Yuan, to tense up in unison, and an overwhelming sense of fear made them instinctively retreat.

Because this dying monster was now exuding an increasingly powerful divinity and a sense of oppression.

At the same time, he raised his scarred right hand and commanded the terrifying, dark stars.

The out-of-control gravity will capture everything around it, and any objects that get too close will be cut apart by the spatial rifts.

Everyone watched as the two fastest runners charged forward, intent on beheading the champions and claiming unparalleled glory.

Their bodies struggled futilely in the air, as if falling into an invisible vortex, first imprisoned and pulled by terrifying gravity, then silently cut and disintegrated by the crisscrossing spatial rifts. Their divinity and flesh became nourishment for that dark star!
Two overlords have perished!
The powerful trump card from the Throat of the Ruins, capable of refining the boundless golden sea of ​​supreme beings, has now vanished, completely devoured by the dark stars. This has caused the stars to expand once more.

The utterly distorted space made it difficult to unleash the Boundless Boundary and the Annihilation Spear. The distorted space rendered any 'mirror' unusable, leaving the Annihilation Spear with no medium to strike.

The Hound of Tindaros, an immortal monster, is the one on whom the Sands of Time place high hopes.

At this moment, it seemed to be encountering some kind of terror. The black mist surged, and its blood-red eyes were filled with fear. Its body twisted and struggled, and its sharp teeth gnawed and tore, but it could hardly leave any more marks on Li Yelai's body. It even wanted to escape!

The three key defensive strategies used against the champion have become completely ineffective!

The dominant players in the penalty area, disregarding the loss of their trump cards and the heartache of their depletion, retreated frantically.

Because the pitch-black star, with a diameter of over a hundred meters, is still expanding! The shadow of destruction looms over the entire battlefield! The powerful beings below the level of the overlord are simply unable to protect themselves at this distance, and their deaths are extremely beautiful, like fleeting flowers, their wails and sobs completely swallowed up.

That power, compressed to its extreme, was enough to make even a supreme being retreat!
"Li Yelai!"

The roar of the Sheep Walker echoed from the sky, and the incomplete King-Slaying Array reformed, a giant crimson-gold hand crashing down from the heavens, as if to crush this arrogant ant.

"Hahahaha~"

A low laugh rang out, and Li Yelai flicked his bloodied and mangled fingers, sending the dark star directly towards the giant hand!

The giant hand grasped the dark star, its crimson-gold power seemingly intent on penetrating and destroying it completely, yet it caused countless cracks to appear on the giant hand itself. It was actually forced open!

"Run!!! It's going to explode!"

Zefi let out a bloodcurdling scream, as the terrifying memory of her brother dying to shield her from the attack in the universe surged forth like a tidal wave.

The overlords dared not hesitate and retreated at full speed, activating their defenses with all their might.

As for their personal guards and legions, they had no time to spare.

The next moment. A final flash, engulfing everything.

All the power, divinity, and matter that had been devoured, along with the space that had been forcibly compressed to its limit, were released in that instant, transforming into a destructive torrent that swept across the battlefield!

The giant, crimson-gold hand cracked open instantly, and the Sheepwalker roared in extreme rage. Before the giant hand shattered, it transformed into a curtain of light, attempting to contain the raging torrent of destruction.

However, the crimson-gold light curtain shattered in an instant.

Immediately, the earth shattered, and mountains and rivers collapsed. The land within a radius of several kilometers was as if it had been brutally swept away by an invisible, world-destroying giant hand.

The once undulating mountains were leveled, the deep canyons were forcibly filled and torn apart again, and the tsunami that swept in was pushed back by an even more violent force!
Within its range, even the forbidden zone forces and the Chaos Legion were directly overwhelmed by the terrifying power.

The old Mad King's clone of a tear appeared in front of Jiang Ling, blocking the spreading aftershocks for her.

This allowed Jiang Ling to witness that strange sight: countless dark shadows frantically fleeing, only to be swallowed up by an even faster beam of light. They struggled painfully within the light, like snowballs thrown into boiling water, melting away in an instant. It even revealed a kind of eerie beauty.
Zefei struggled to crawl out of the broken formation, the violent power tearing her body apart once again. When she finally managed to lift her head and look at the battlefield, all that remained in her eyes was boundless fear and confusion.

The once deafening battlefield was now filled only with wails and sobs. The surviving soldiers of the legion died one after another after letting out painful groans.

“With such power, even a supreme being would be injured if it hits head-on.” Zhen Yuan, holding a tattered round shield, rose from the ruins. His silver armor had become dull and lifeless. He stood with difficulty, leaning on his sword, and looked at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance. He couldn’t help but sigh, “Champion. Well deserved.”

“It’s not that weak. A direct hit from it would severely injure even a Supreme Being. If Wei Yang hadn’t intervened, the losses would have been even greater.” Shi Yao emerged from the dark but dilapidated bone tower in a sorry state. He looked at the secret treasure bone, crafted from the bones of thirteen divine creatures, which was a third worn away, and his expression was somewhat gloomy.

"Ah!" The 'Perfect Girl's' clothes were badly tattered, revealing a bloodied and mangled body, yet she was rapidly repairing herself. Her eyes were filled with ecstasy: "This move is too powerful! It's enough to make him the strongest below the Supreme level!"

With just one move, only the Overlords remained on the scene. Even with the intervention of the Supreme Beings, the Overlords were all injured.
The constellations Bi, Xin, and Di approached rapidly with grim expressions.

They seized the opportunity and worked together to destroy the spectacle, but still couldn't stop it.
"He has still risen to the position of overlord."

"However, his injuries are severe and he has expended a great deal of energy."

"The injuries can be repaired with holy healing potions, but the spiritual energy and divinity consumed won't recover so quickly!"

"The strongest below the Supreme is still ultimately below the Supreme!"

"He should be unable to unleash his power again now."

"Mirror Domain, use the No-Distance Mirror again, Annihilation Spear!"

The travelers spoke quickly, and the restricted area gathered its forces to take down the 'variable' in one fell swoop.

Then, when they saw the Chaos Legion also gathering in the distance, their expressions changed.

They overlooked one fact: Li Yelai seemed to have been holding back his full strength the whole time!
At that moment, the chaotic power from the highest heavens surged into the mushroom cloud, and the violent airflow dispelled the obscuring effect, allowing them to see Li Yelai's figure.

His armor was still damaged, but the wounds on his body had completely disappeared, revealing only his intact skin and well-defined muscle lines.
The strong wind made the champion's cape flutter, and it also brought Li Yelai's laughter.

"Seeing you all looking like you've lost your mothers really makes me happy," Li Yelai laughed. "Have you forgotten? I am still... the Eternal Chosen Emperor!"

The next moment, Li Yelai entered the divine favor posture!
In the blood-soaked wilderness of the highest heavens, the Blood God laughs wildly, yearning for the heads of His most favored chosen ones to be given to Him.

Within the Palace of Ecstasy, joy and confusion abounded, yet He perceived the beauty of art and yearned to witness even more intense emotional fluctuations. Within the Crystal Labyrinth, wicked laughter echoed; the shifts in cause and effect delighted Him. Every twist of fate brought Him joy, and the variables that disrupted the course of destiny pleased Him even more.

Above the Plague Garden, the Plague Father revealed a sinister yet benevolent smile. So badly injured, what a hardworking child.
So, the four gods of chaos bestowed their divine favor upon them!
Four streams of divine energy surged into his body, causing Li Yelai's already powerful aura to rise even higher!
"Finally, I've been promoted to overlord." Li Yelai held the Tindaros Hound in one hand and gripped the Breaking Army Mountain-Moving Halberd tightly in the other.

He saw his own base, a majestic base interwoven with black and gold, but the base was shrouded in wisps of black mist, making it appear ominous and dangerous.

Indeed, it was a very ominous sign.
At least, during his promotion, Li Yelai was struck by sudden lightning and meteorites in the virtual realm.

It almost shattered his psionic projection.

The ethereal creatures that should have seized the opportunity to attack Li Yelai also fled, seemingly afraid of getting tainted by something unclean. This gave Li Yelai no chance to capture them to cover his own escape.

Fortunately, they managed to hold on. As for the Chaos Corruption, it was actually the easiest thing for Li Ye to handle.

At this moment, with the advancement, an equally ominous avenue spread out from the base, though it was not long, it was slowly growing.

When the Great Dao reaches its ultimate limit, that will be the time for Li Ye to ascend to the Supreme level.
At the same time, Li Yelai felt that his fusion power was becoming more and more refined, and it seemed that he could use three masks at the same time. If he adapted, he might be able to use four masks at the same time in no time.

"A comprehensive enhancement!"

Li Yelai exhaled a breath of turbid air, decisively consuming half of his divine favor and divine nature, and used the Heroic Spirit Sea.

Amidst the horrified gazes of everyone, the second champion's cape billowed wildly, and dazzling blue flames ignited.

Tianyan Xingzhe was terrified, and Zhenyuan and other powerful figures also changed their expressions drastically.

They could clearly sense the power of those two people.

Even the Tindaros hounds, who were being held captive by Li Yelai, showed shock and despair in their eyes upon seeing Dawn. Damn it, we're doomed!

Dawn glanced at Tindaros Hound, her face showing surprise and a smile, as if they were very familiar.

"Three Li Yelai?" The forbidden zone overlord's expression changed.

"One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones? The 'Variable' has received this kind of inheritance?" The travelers' faces turned grim.

Are you kidding me? There's this kind of trump card in the 'variables'?
Another champion and the Chosen One of Azure Flames?
Wouldn't that mean facing three Li Yelais at the same time?

Task difficulty x3?

"Finally, I've become the overlord!" Zhu Ye's voice was hoarse, his eyes gleaming like the sun and moon: "A siege by a horde of enemies. Excellent!"

"Let's go on a killing spree!" Dawn sneered, blue flames erupting from his body: "Paint them all on the walls!"

The next moment, two strange phenomena occurred simultaneously.

A white moon appeared in the sky, its chill pervasive. The sun, which had been there, grew even hotter.

The chilling moonlight poured down, and a thick, imposing moonlight armor appeared on Zhu Ye's body, continuously accumulating and infusing.

Hanging high in the sky, bathed in the scorching sunlight, Zhu Ye faintly exuded a red aura, and the long spear in his hand radiated extreme sharpness.

Mimicry, Extraordinary Phenomena, Sun and Moon Shining Together!
at the same time.

Another force spread, and the bright sky darkened considerably. The overlords felt a terrifying malice descend upon them. Under the threat of this malice, the flow of their divinity slowed down, and their bodies became somewhat stiff.

Dawn seemed to have received some kind of replenishment; the azure flames that were originally reflected in his eyes now wrapped and spread around his body, like a robe of azure fire.

As psionicists of the Myriad Paths, Candlelight and Dawn's tactical coordination was only truly complete after retrieving the anomaly. They were both powerful figures who had once slain kings, but were completely held back by the level of their physical bodies.

Now, they are not afraid of any challenge!
They looked up at the sky, where the Sheep Walker had already led the remaining walkers to the battlefield.

Upon sensing the power of Dawn and Candlelight, Wei Yang's expression changed instantly: "So that's how it is, future versions of yourselves? From two failed futures, this is the price you pay for rejecting the Book of Destiny!"

"I must admit, your combat strength is astonishing, and you even toyed with the Book Holder. You truly deserve the title of 'Invincible Below the Supreme.'" Wei Yang said coldly, "But 'Invincible Below the Supreme' is still ultimately below the Supreme!"

Li Yelai and his two companions watched as the Forbidden Zone Overlord, the Heavenly Evolution Walker, and other human powerhouses, including Zhen Yuan, surrounded them.

He couldn't help but smile: "Not that weak."

"Today, I will defy the Supreme One!"

"Attack!" the traveler roared, and in that instant, dozens of secret treasures were activated, almost blotting out the sky. Mountains crashed down, flying swords soared through the air, pagodas hovered, green umbrellas opened and closed, and chains flew. The treasure mirrors shone, and battle spears thrust out!

They prepared many methods to eliminate the 'variable'!
However, in that instant...

Li Yelai activated his extraordinary phenomenon, with a detection range of 20 kilometers!

In that instant, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of fear.

The powerful expert once again used the Mirror of No Distance and the Spear of Annihilation. The moment the spear pierced the mirror, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. He looked down in surprise and found that a spear had emerged from the shattered protective mirror on his body, piercing right through his shoulder.

Not only him, but everyone, even the surviving legions nearby, were pierced by the reflection of the blood, the reflection of their equipment, or even by the spears that suddenly pierced their own eyes, as if they were being pierced and lifted up by rising spears.

"Mirror Domain!" a hegemon roared, believing that Mirror Domain had also betrayed them.

The next moment, they lost all will to curse.

Because they saw a familiar, dark mist suddenly appear on their bodies.
One by one, blood-red eyes, brimming with surprise, opened, and sharp mouthparts snapped open.

"The Hound of Tindaros!"

"why?"

They were filled with shock, anger, and pain as they howled in agony. At that moment, the besieging force of thousands was attacked by Bloodspears and Tindaros Hounds.

The moment Li Yelai activates the phenomenon, all enemies within range will suffer from his curse, debuffs, and negative status effects.

And this naturally includes the markings of the Tindaros hound, as well as the lock-on without a scope!
This is the extraordinary phenomenon, a shared fate of calamity!

(Sorry I'm late. My biological clock is completely messed up. I woke up at 3 a.m. and sat in front of the computer, but I was groggy and not very efficient while typing. I'm only getting back to work now, and I hope I'll be fine once my child can sleep through the night.)
(Now, the baby wakes up every two or three hours to be fed, but he always wets himself during feeding. After changing his diaper, he won't sleep, and I have to hold and soothe him for a long time. He cries as soon as I put him down, and then it's almost time for his next feeding again. I'm really exhausted. I'm not deliberately slowing down the pace; I want to update faster too, but I'm just too tired.) (End of Chapter)
