Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Yang Chen's aura erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for thousands of years! His extremely hot blood and qi transformed into a visible golden torrent, spreading wildly in all directions from him.

The air was filled with the smell of burning. The remains of the sea monster, the broken weapons, and even the floating blood within a hundred meters of him instantly vaporized and burned to ashes under the terrifying heat!
The seawater beneath his feet wasn't pushed aside, but rather evaporated, forming a constantly expanding depression, as if even the ocean couldn't bear his presence!
At this moment, Yang Chen completely lost his mind.

No, more accurately, the shackles of reason were completely broken, and the physical body was handed over to the most primal and purest fighting instinct imprinted deep in the blood and bones to dominate!

He lost his ability to think, his tactics, and his ability to weigh the strengths of both himself and the enemy.

Within his field of vision, all beings deemed 'enemies of humanity,' regardless of strength or race, became targets driven by his instincts! There was no strategy, no maneuvering, only the most direct, brutal, and efficient destruction!
So what if the body and soul are separated?
So what if you can't control it precisely?
When one willingly relinquishes all constraints, surrendering their champion-forged body entirely to the hunting instinct honed through the slaughter of countless demons, all that remains is the ultimate, most extreme form of power.
kill!

Yang Chen unleashed a deafening roar, then transformed into a crimson-gold meteor and crashed directly into the battlefield!
It was no longer the skillful and forceful movement of the past, but rather like a golden sun in human form, crashing into the densest part of the enemy formation with the most savage and wild attitude!
Wherever it passed, the air was compressed into visible white shockwaves, and space itself emitted a distorted, mournful sound. This was not a charge at all, but rather like a nuclear bomb being ignited and detonated on the battlefield!
All the soldiers in the restricted area, the sea monsters, and even the unsuspecting wanderers' lackeys within the area were subjected to an indiscriminate and fatal devastation at this moment!
His fists, feet, elbows, and knees—every part of his body—became the most terrifying killing weapons. There were no techniques or skills, only the simplest and most direct physical collisions, yet each strike contained a terrifying force capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas!
As a commander of a restricted area retreated instantly, he raised his weapon to block, but was punched into a cloud of blood mist along with his weapon!
Several giant sea beasts with thick hides rushed in from different directions, but the moment they approached the golden aura domain, they melted and disintegrated like ice blocks thrown into a steel furnace!
The defensive treasure hastily erected by a follower of the wanderer shattered like glass the moment it touched Yang Chen's body. Immediately afterward, his head was crushed by a large hand covered in golden blood and energy!

massacre!

This was a massacre driven purely by instinct!

The golden sun flashed and crashed wildly through the enemy ranks, leaving behind a trail of destruction paved with blood, flesh, and wreckage.

He is no longer the human champion Yang Chen, but more like an ultimate fighting machine that is programmed with the sole command of killing and never gets tired!

This sudden, completely illogical, and ferocious counterattack horrified the penalty area legion.

The eighth-generation champion went berserk?
Fuck!
This sudden turn of events caused many powerful warriors on the battlefield to curse inwardly.

Admittedly, a monster that has lost its rationality and kills solely based on physical instinct is theoretically easier to deal with than a champion with versatile tactics and unwavering will. One could even exploit its lack of critical thinking by setting traps to lure and ambush it.

However, Yang Chen's physique was already incredibly strong! Even without sophisticated combat techniques, his raw, brutal collisions and crushing attacks were something that no expert below the Supreme level could withstand.

Rather, it is more accurate to say that after abandoning all rational constraints, his destructive power and ferocity have become even more terrifying!
If the Supreme One does not appear, who can stop him?
This enraged the powerful figures on the restricted area, who frantically questioned Tianyan Xingzhe in their hearts—is this your so-called "targeting" strategy against the champion? Why does it feel even more troublesome than before?

Unlike the anger of the forbidden zone, the Heavenly Evolution Walkers exchanged subtle glances.

What they provided to the penalty area was a method to deal with the champion, not a sure-fire solution. Their core objective, from beginning to end, was to prevent Yang Chen from supporting the 'variable' Li Yelai.

If we could take this opportunity to kill Yang Chen, it would be an unexpected bonus.

If not, simply keeping him here and preventing him from intervening in the battle at the opportune moment would achieve their strategic objective.

"In the last moment before consciousness was stripped away, did he decisively order the indiscriminate killing of his physical body?" A Star Walker murmured with admiration, "No wonder he was chosen as the champion. His decisiveness and confidence in his own power far surpass those of ordinary people."

“Unfortunately, he’s not on the list in the Book of Destiny; he’s not the chosen one.” Another traveler calmly added, “Is there a chance to eliminate him now?”

"That depends on how much fighting power Lord Weiyang and the others still have in the Land of Opportunity. The resources invested in this siege of the 'variable' are beyond imagination. If there is still a surplus, perhaps we can try to eliminate Yang Chen as well."

"Am I about to witness the fall of two champions today?"

"Even if we can't kill him, it doesn't matter." The traveler said calmly, "This 'Body and Soul Separation' formation is extremely difficult to break. In this chaotic battlefield, Yang Chen, who has lost his rationality, might even instinctively chase after us into the depths of the forbidden zone. At that time, even he would be doomed. A monster without reason, no matter how powerful, is no longer a threat."

“Indeed. Furthermore, once the ‘variant’ is dead, it will be easy to change their fates without such a big fuss. We can give Yang Chen a heroic ending and see if we can use this to create more geniuses on the list.”

As the travelers calmly disengaged from Yang Chen's frenzied battlefield, they communicated rapidly using secret codes.

Despite their formidable strength, they prefer to remain hidden in the shadows, gracefully manipulating the threads of fate. Once the greatest uncertainty—the 'variable'—is eliminated, they have countless ways to ensure their target's peaceful and undetected demise.
Now, the 'variable' has most likely been defeated.

Once the Sheepwalker returns victorious with the combined forces of Chaos and the Forbidden Zone from the Land of Chance, the balance of power on this battlefield will instantly tip, and victory will be within easy reach.

Ultimately, the resources invested in this operation to eliminate a mere sixth-level 'variable' were truly extravagant.

The three forbidden zones legions, the elites of the two Chaos factions, a large number of Star Walkers, and even the Sheep Walkers personally took action.

This lineup is excessively powerful. Even if that 'variable' suddenly unleashes its full potential and kills many strong opponents, the remaining strength is enough to dominate the entire battle.

At that point, whether they lure away the out-of-control Yang Chen, gather their forces to kill him, or execute the backup plan to awaken the Queen of Fear, they will have ample room for error.

This plan is already more than half successful!

What they need to do now is hold on until the Weiyang team returns in triumph.

Just imagining the expressions on the faces of those powerful figures from the giant cities when Lord Weiyang appears makes the travelers want to laugh.

"The champion team is one thing, but those troublesome wilderness rangers must be eliminated!" The travelers looked at the rangers on the battlefield and sneered.

Then, their expressions changed.

At that moment, the raging blue flames ignited, and a middle-aged man fought his way out of the chaotic battlefield.

In that instant, both the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone and the Heavenly Evolution Walker had their expressions change drastically.

On the battlefield, the raging blue flames, which seemed capable of burning away all the filth in the world, once again soared into the sky!

A figure suddenly emerged from the chaotic battle; it was a middle-aged man with a resolute expression.

The moment he appeared, whether it was the Golden Flood Dragon Supreme who was locked in battle with the Azure Void Supreme, the Blood Sea Supreme who was hiding in the deep sea, or all the Heavenly Evolution Walkers who sensed this scene.

Even on the Chaos Fleet in the far distance, the two chosen ones of the Immortal Faction were filled with fear.

Because in the middle-aged man's hand, an ancient bronze arrow was emitting a terrifying aura that made the space itself tremble. The ancient patterns on it were lighting up one by one, as if a slumbering, world-destroying beast was awakening!

"Damn it, those are Azure Flame Arrows!"

It is unknown who uttered this roar, a mixture of extreme fear and despair.

Even low-level psionicists using blue flame arrows.

Even those below the highest level, whoever he points at will die!
Now, the middle-aged man's divinity was undisguised, raging and ferocious. That was the Chosen One of Azure Flames!
The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone's expression changed drastically as they struggled to disengage from the battlefield, sensing a tremendous threat emanating from the arrows!
The Celestial Walkers also retreated to the side, for even they dared not take the arrows head-on, as they were caught in the crossfire.

A chosen one? The Wilderness Ranger knew about the Traveler's plans in advance and even summoned a chosen one?
Damn!

It must be that traitor among the witnesses!
The middle-aged man held his arrow high, his terrifying aura causing even the supreme beings to avoid his attack. Across the entire battlefield, the enemy's divine creatures fled in terror and fury.

"What a pity, there are too few arrows. If we had another dozen, we would have killed all these supreme beings of the forbidden zones! Even if it meant burning me to ashes!" The middle-aged man sneered inwardly, his gaze sweeping over Yang Chen, who was slaughtering demons in the distance, and he sighed slightly.

I didn't expect that.
Immediately, the middle-aged man released the bowstring and the arrow, which vanished in an instant.

In the distance, the woman in black robes, who was fleeing at high speed, suddenly let out a mournful cry.

Among so many powerful figures present, the middle-aged man chose her, or rather, the rat who controlled 'her'!

Tianyan Xingzhe, one of the twelve Earthly Branch Xingzhe, Zi (Rat).

He was specifically in charge of the most secretive "heroic bloodline" project within the Tianyan Society. Using the Book of Destiny, he meticulously arranged "suitable" encounters between men and women to produce "suitable" offspring with great potential that met their expectations.

At the same time, he is also known among all the travelers for his almost pathological caution and extreme cunning.

Even on such an important battlefield, he would never risk his life.

The array used to ambush Yang Chen, which contained a portion of supreme divinity, was only cast through a meticulously crafted female alchemical avatar.

Because he had considered all the possible scenarios of failure and prioritized his own safety.

However, at this moment, a deadly danger is approaching from a distant battlefield.

His alchemical clone didn't even have time to utter a scream before it was instantly reduced to a bloody mist.

Those were his few remaining clones. Ever since Li Yelai used a causal counterattack, almost wiping out all his subordinates and clones who were connected with him, he had very few clones left.

This female clone is capable of casting arrays and even unleashing a portion of supreme divinity. It is considered the most exquisite piece in his collection, with a massive amount of resources invested in it.

But at this moment, the Rat felt no remorse for the destruction of its clone.

Because the blue flame arrow not only blasted the clone to pieces, but also flowed backward along the clone's cause and effect!

Attack the clone while simultaneously attacking the main body? Are you kidding me!
The Lord of Azure Flames is stuffing all sorts of weird stuff into his followers!

'No, I need to defend! No, I need to teleport!' The thought flashed through Zi Shu's mind, and countless array patterns flickered around him, trying to teleport him out of the physical world.

However, the spatial array patterns that had just lit up went out without warning, just like pencil marks erased by an invisible eraser.

Before he could even think of defending or diverting his attention, the power of the azure flame arrow, which transcended the boundaries of cause and effect, had already struck him before he could react.

Meanwhile, in a forest near Border City No. 1, raging blue flames roared up, carving a deep gash several kilometers long across the mountain range.
At the starting point of the Deep Scar, in what was once a hidden hunting lodge, an ordinary-looking man struggled to steady himself, his eyes brimming with intense resentment.

If he had been prepared, he would never have done this.

If he had known the Azure Flame Arrows had this effect, he definitely could have dodged them.
How could a mere arrow of blessing possibly kill a supreme being?

If only I had done it earlier
But there were no "ifs." The arrow pierced him before he could react or defend himself.

His body shattered and turned to ashes.
Within the illusory realm, his supreme throne and psionic projection were also shattered at this moment.

Only in the instant before his consciousness sank completely into eternal darkness did he see the blue flame arrow mark that spanned the void and was branded into the starry sky like a scar.

He could only place his last, twisted hope on his companions far away in the land of chance.

'Sheep, the rest is up to you.'

The next moment, a wave of sorrow swept across the entire virtual realm and was reflected in the senses of all psionicists within a thousand miles.

Within the illusory realm, the spectacle of the Supreme Being's fall was so magnificent.

Endless radiance transformed into a rain of light, as if the ethereal realm was mourning the passing of a supreme being, and in this way returning his power to nourish all things.

Tianyan Xingzhe, one of the twelve Earthly Branches, the Rat Xingzhe – confirmed to have fallen!
On the other side, on the battlefield, the Heavenly Evolution Walkers' faces turned extremely grim upon sensing the shockwaves from the fall of a Supreme Being.

Lord Zishu is dead?

"Damn it!" the Heavenly Evolution Walkers roared in anger.

Yes, angry.

In their understanding, every traveler is a hero who fights for humanity and for the world, and the travelers of the twelve earthly branches are the best among them.

The Rat's "Heroic Bloodline" project has bestowed countless future heroes upon them. Yet, the result is that they die without even understanding why!

This infuriated the travelers.

dead!
These wandering knights must die!

At this moment, violent spatial fluctuations occurred in the deep sea, but the travelers steadied themselves.

"This is a place of opportunity!"

"It must be the people of the Goat!"

"Stay calm! As long as Lord Wei Yang launches his attack, everything will be alright!" (End of Chapter)
