Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

As she charged into the blood-mist-filled forbidden zone, the female overlord wielded her spear wildly, her four eyes flashing with divine light, like four deadly lamps.

In an instant, all five abilities of the Spirit Eye Path were unleashed simultaneously.

Blood Fiend Chasing Shadow manipulates the blood mist that fills the sky, condensing it into a scarlet divine weapon that is difficult to distinguish from reality, and launching tricky and strange attacks wherever its gaze falls.

Imitation of the spirit eye is like a mirror reflecting the moon in water, swiftly replicating the essence of the opponent's killing move, instantly transforming their years of painstakingly honed combat skills into one's own.

The gaze, fixed on the target, becomes an invisible shackle, like being trapped in quagmire, significantly slowing down every movement of the target.

The Eye of Blockade powerfully suppresses and obscures the opponent's divine flow, making it difficult for them to recover their spiritual energy and causing a sharp increase in energy consumption.

And the most mysterious 'future vision' glimpsed countless possibilities for the next moment, intending to predict and lock onto all of the enemy's movement trajectories!

This is her ultimate combo that she has honed over many years.

Leveraging the Blood Mist's home ground and the combination of multiple abilities, he forcefully dragged the target into his completely controlled melee domain.

Enhanced by the Blood Mist Killing Array, techniques of imitation, multiple debuffs, and action prediction...

Even if the overlord of the True Martial Path were to personally arrive, he would find it extremely difficult to gain the slightest advantage against her perfect opening move!

But just as she confidently stepped into the core of the blood mist, her eyes, which should have reflected countless futures—

Of all the 'future' tributaries, the young human in the black trench coat made only one move: a sudden horizontal arm swing.

Then, all visions of the future were completely swallowed up by the silence of darkness.

what happened?

He countered his own ever-changing, calculated, and deadly moves with just a casual wave of his hand.

There wasn't even the slightest sign of a change in tactics?
As a seasoned and battle-hardened ruler of the restricted area, Scarface made the calmest decision in an instant, relying on her fighting instincts.

He spun around, abruptly halting his attack, attempting to evade the unknown and deadly blow.

However, the dark shadow was already upon her like a bone-deep infection. A seemingly ordinary hand rapidly enlarged in her vision, eventually obscuring her entire field of vision and the world around her.

The divinity she had suppressed erupted quietly at that moment.

In that instant, she seemed to glimpse some incomprehensible, terrifying presence that should never exist in this lost land!
What exactly is that? And why is it here?!

Do not!
"you"

‘click’

The crisp, teeth-grinding sound of bones cracking was the last thing she received in her consciousness.

Then, the boundless darkness swallowed everything.

Almost simultaneously, the hunter squad that had been following closely behind finally arrived at the outskirts of the battlefield.

They were well-trained and quickly spread out into formation without orders, their psionic energy intertwining to completely seal off the area filled with blood mist.

As the female overlord's private soldiers, they were already familiar with her fighting style. Their current action was solely to check for any weaknesses and prevent any enemy from escaping from the adult's domain.

"The hounds' senses have disappeared?" a team member asked in a low voice, holding a longbow. "Dead?"

"They're probably hiding in the blood mist, ready to cooperate with the adults at any time," the companion on the other side said dismissively.

"Tsk, he's going to make a name for himself again. He's just a lowly human from the forbidden zone." The first team member spoke with undisguised contempt and jealousy.

"You like it? You can apply for modification, burn your own potential, consume rare resources, and eventually become a living tool that only knows how to track." The other person replied with a sneer.

"Once this group of so-called 'pure-blooded humans' is wiped out, the master probably won't rely on him anymore."

"He's still somewhat useful against humans who aren't so easy to deal with. However, unless he becomes the overlord, this hound's life will remain the same."

The group discussed the matter without restraint. Even though there were members in the team who came from the restricted area, they made no attempt to hide their contempt and jealousy towards their colleague codenamed 'Hound'.

But soon, the first team member to speak realized something was wrong.

In the core area of ​​the battlefield, the intense clashes of psionic energy and the sounds of weapons seem to have completely subsided.
"What's going on? Didn't the master fight?" He became alert and gripped his weapon tightly.

Whether the battle is a resounding victory for our side or a stalemate, it should not be so deathly silent.

However, no one responded.

The companions who were just talking and laughing mockingly were now collectively silenced.

A chill instantly ran down his spine!

Almost instinctively, he pulled out a pitch-black crystal engraved with strange runes.

That's a distress crystal unique to the Forbidden Zone: The Palace of Dead Sleep, capable of sending the highest level of warning to all creatures within a hundred miles of the Forbidden Zone!

But he didn't even have a chance to crush the crystal.

A tall, blurry figure swept past him like a ghost.

He couldn't even see any details clearly, only feeling a cold sensation on his neck and shoulders.

His vision blurred. In his last fragments of consciousness, he only managed to see his headless body slowly fall, and the corpses of his teammates lying in various frozen positions not far away.

They're all dead and not a single one sent a signal?
Damn it
Such an assassin could be hidden among pure-blooded humans?

'My lord.' He tried to speak, but was utterly powerless.

On the other side, the thick blood mist gradually dissipated, and a figure emerged carrying the female overlord, who was bound by chains.

"Holy crap, how did I get here?"

The human champion expressed his feelings.

Li Yelai was truly speechless; this wasn't the first time something like this had happened.

He hasn't even activated his face yet, and he's already attracted enemies without even triggering the "Encountering a Powerful Enemy" or "Meeting a Dragon and a Tiger" events. That's just too much.

Little Mad King emerged from the jungle, stood quietly beside him, grabbed his arm, and looked curiously at the half-dead female overlord on the ground.

"If it weren't for my partner's assassination instincts, I would have been exposed shortly after landing in this lost land," Li Yelai wanted to complain. "Then what was the point of me hiding all this way?"

In order not to reveal their spiritual power and divinity, Li Yelai and Little Mad King did not even dare to use aerial steps. They swam all the way here and then ran to the vicinity according to Chu He's map.

As a result, they were discovered and attacked halfway through the journey.

"How did they find me?" Li Yelai asked, looking at the female overlord who was locked up by the Prisoner God Lock.

"It must have been an accidental discovery, but they didn't know your identity. Otherwise, if they knew you were the champion, they wouldn't have come at all; they would have just gone straight for the Supreme Champion." The voice of Immortal Lord Chang Le came from the mechanical cube floating to the side.

"Do you see me as a pure human from the Lost Lands?" Li Yelai nodded; that was good news.

The emergence of the champion will only draw the attention of the penalty area.

"Moreover, since my partner wasn't discovered, it must mean only I was discovered." Li Yelai recalled the blood resonance he had just felt: "A tracking-type ability?"

"Sigh," Li Yelai sighed, looking at the female overlord and asking, "Immortal Lord, what should we do now? Killing her directly would cause too much of a commotion."

Li Yelai did not kill the female overlord directly, not because he wanted to gather any information. She was already an overlord, and ordinary interrogation would be useless.

Unless a psionicist with a delirious or spiritual eye path assists them, their first reaction will be suicide.

At the same time, Li Yelai couldn't just kill this female overlord directly. Once the overlord died, violent phenomena would appear in the virtual realm, which would be much greater than the fluctuations of battle.

The death of a hegemon is like fireworks suddenly exploding in the night, not to mention that this is already within a restricted area.

If this kill happens here, the overlord's relatives will likely sense it instantly and then send out a large force to besiege Li Ye.

After being ravaged by Li Yelai's natural disaster, it attracted the attention of the Supreme Being, who then chased and beat it.
Li Yelai can indeed challenge the Supreme, but there is clearly more than one Supreme in the forbidden zone.

Moreover, this is completely contrary to the plan.

Chu He wanted to take advantage of the large-scale military mobilization in the restricted area to find out the reason for escaping the lost territory, but attracting the attention of the Supreme One would be troublesome.

At least for now, it must not be detected by the restricted area.

"Then let's just kill them. I don't have any sealing methods right now. A simplified version of the Heaven-Deceiving Array will be ready soon." The phantom of Immortal Lord Chang Le appeared, and a massive number of nanobots transformed into array patterns: "Killing within the array will minimize the anomalies and reduce the originally dazzling rain of light as much as possible. As long as the distance isn't too close, no one will notice. An essential array for killing and looting."

“That saves trouble. Otherwise, it would be too much of a hassle if we couldn’t kill them,” Li Yelai replied with a smile. “Truly, this is my extraordinary wisdom.”

Immortal Lord Chang Le currently resides within the core of the Machine God, and his combat power is not particularly significant, after all, he lacks a physical body. Even though he was once an immortal, he has now lost his throne, and doesn't even have a base.

However, when combined with the core of the machine god and nanobots, he can quickly construct all sorts of amazing formations.

In addition, his vast knowledge and insightful perspectives can provide Li Yelai with a great deal of help.

Of course, it would be even better if he wasn't so good at creating mischief.

For example, he kept trying to instill some abnormal ideas into the little mad king who had lost his memory. Therefore, Li Yelai would usually put the Mech God Core back into the storage space.

As the Heaven-Deceiving Formation was perfected, Li Yelai directly destroyed the female overlord's head. He also took her spear; hmm, it seems she's a noble from the Lost Lands, a powerful overlord weapon, and of quite good quality. She's now surnamed Li!

With the death of the overlord, only a small and continuous shower of light appeared in the void realm, without much fluctuation.

"If I had enough time, I could have refined this monster into a magic weapon or a pill. What a pity," Immortal Lord Chang Le sighed.

The immortals of the ancient Heavenly Court enjoyed capturing extraterrestrial demons, also known as beings from the Void Realm, to craft magical artifacts and weapons, or to directly refine elixirs and medicines.

Legend has it that the Celestial Immortal and the Fairy of Jiuhua enjoyed capturing creatures from the Void Realm to brew wine.
“There will be an opportunity. Master Mo Hai probably likes it very much too.” Li Yelai said, then suddenly remembered: “Immortal Lord, was the Heavenly Dao Myriad Laws Immortal Lord that I saw in the simulated universe also an immortal from the ancient Heavenly Court?”

Li Yelai recalled that fierce man—no, fierce immortal—who directly forged chaos from a god into a precious sword.

Is that an immortal? That's incredible!

"Him? No, if only He had been there back then. He was clearly a later immortal whose lineage had been interrupted, but he was amazing. He managed to reconnect it, even figuring out the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones on his own. He was truly exceptional." Immortal Lord Chang Le laughed. "Moreover, you seem to have His lineage. It is this cause and effect that allowed Him to be shaped in the simulated universe."

“Inheritance? His?” Li Yelai frowned in thought. Did he have an immortal’s inheritance?

That shouldn't be the case. If Li Yelai had to say, he should have obtained the inheritance of the Carefree Immortal, since he does possess a trace of immortal blood. But he missed the opportunity to awaken it and didn't obtain the Jing family's inheritance. In Jing Lin's words, he's useless.

Besides that, is there anything else I can pass on to my family?
If I had to name it, it would be facial makeup, right?
"My face mask?" Li Yelai asked in surprise. Wasn't that given to him by Mr. Ying?
When the simulated universe failed to create Mr. Shadow, Li Yelai initially thought it was because Mr. Shadow's true form was deep within his own consciousness. However, he never expected that it simply wasn't his.

The fact that Mr. Shadow is suspected to be from the future suggests that Mr. Shadow from the future may have had contact with the Heavenly Dao Myriad Laws Immortal Lord.
In the future, Mr. Shadow received the inheritance of the Heavenly Dao Myriad Laws Immortal Lord. Then, he traveled through time and space to the present and, through a transaction, passed on the mask to himself.

“Yes, it is indeed a mask, but it is somewhat different. It must have been revised, each with its own merits.” Immortal Lord Chang Le looked at Li Yelai, or rather, at the existence deep within Li Yelai’s consciousness, but he could see nothing at the moment.

"Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao Myriad Laws Immortal Lord and the God of Despair and Hope look very alike, possibly even identical counterparts. As for that unfamiliar Human Emperor, he seems to have some connection with the Lord of Azure Flames as well."

This contains a lot of information.

"The counterpart of the immortal is the Chaos God?" Li Yelai asked, somewhat bewildered. "You mean, the Lord of Azure Flames was originally human?"

"Although it's unbelievable, it should be true. Originally, according to my understanding, Chaos Gods were some primordial desires and concepts, and theoretically, no creature could become a Chaos God. Therefore, the Four Gods in the simulated universe were also surprised when they saw the Lord of Azure Flames." Immortal Lord Chang Le replied, "Unfortunately, He has only been a Chaos God for a short time. Although His combat power is strong, He has not yet reached the level of the Four Gods."

Yes, the Lord of Azure Flames cherishes humanity so much because He Himself was human, and even after becoming a Chaos God, He maintained this understanding. Just like Jun Fu.
I wonder what kind of hardships the Lord of Azure Flames has gone through?

It's just that the distance is too far.
Li Yelai stopped letting his thoughts wander; those were all too far ahead. He should focus on the present.

After disposing of the bodies of the hunting party members, Li Yelai retrieved what appeared to be animal hides as communication devices from them.

Various characters appeared on the parchment in real time, which should be a means of communication similar to text messaging.

Li Yelai cut out the mask of the God of Deception and easily broke through its limitations.

At the same time, under the blessing of the unorthodox path, the strange and unfamiliar characters on it were instantly recognized, representing their various activities and discoveries.

And it's updated in real time?
"Oh~~" Li Yelai and Immortal Lord Chang Le exclaimed at the same time.

The Little Mad King looked at them blankly, then imitated them with an "Oh." (End of Chapter)
