Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 180: Chapter 84: Out of Control_2

Li Yunyan had made significant progress in her studies.

Li Yunyan had already mastered much of the theory of Spiritual Energy, as she was an excellent student with a great knack for learning.

In about half a month, she would be able to use a Stabilizer and become a Spiritual Ability User, which meant she would have some ability to protect herself.

Perhaps, Li Yelai might even become her instructor.

Afterward, Li Yelai rushed to the division.

These days, he hadn’t been idle in the hospital either, constantly honing his Spiritual Ability Techniques.

He realized that he could now pass through the Soul Well.

Now, his physical condition had completely recovered.

It was time for his Third Awakening!

When Li Yelai returned to the division, he ran into Chen Tiewei at the underground entrance.

Ever since his partner, Zhang Tiewei, had sacrificed himself, Chen had been guarding the underground entrance alone.

Upon seeing Li Yelai, he smiled and greeted him.

”I heard all about it, how you got injured while saving civilians. Well done, that’s exactly what a Processor should do!”

Li Yelai felt somewhat embarrassed by the praise and changed the subject, ”I might be going for my Third Awakening.”

”Third Awakening? That’s fast...” Chen Tiewei laughed, ”I wish you success in advance!”

”I will!” Li Yelai, carrying Chen’s blessings, entered the division.

Inside the division, Yang Chen had already gathered an elite Beiwei Group team to act as protectors for Li Yelai.

After Cheese received Li Yelai, he led him into the depths of the division, to the Awakening Room.

Compared to his last Awakening, there were more pieces of equipment in the room this time.

These were all precautions, so that if any accidents occurred during Li Yelai’s third Awakening, they could intervene forcefully.

”Using Magic Potion carries a high risk, and this time the potion is particularly special. You must be very cautious,” Cheese said while looking into Li Yelai’s eyes, ”If it doesn’t work, don’t force the Awakening even if it wastes the potion. Once it’s out of control, it’s really over.”

”I understand,” Li Yelai nodded and then asked, ”What kind of ability will I gain this time?”

Yang Chen intervened, ”It’s unclear; the special material added this time is very rare. But it definitely won’t be an insignificant ability. It will certainly be a powerful skill!”

Yang Chen was right; the special material came from a Class B Forbidden Item, Black Dragon Armor.

Its effect was such that once worn, it could enhance a normal person to the level of a Five Senses Spiritual Ability User.

The cost was that it could never be taken off, and the consciousness of the armor would devour the wearer, gradually transforming the body into a malevolent dragon.

It was said that during the Catastrophe Era, a powerful Spiritual Ability User had slain a mighty black dragon to forge this armor.

However, after putting on the armor, that Spiritual Ability User was eventually devoured by its consciousness, transforming into a giant dragon...

Perhaps this was the so-called Dragon Slayer eventually turning into the malevolent dragon.

Yet, after a Spiritual Ability User wore the armor, the unleashed power became even stronger. Combined with their own Spiritual Energy, it could even be enhanced to the Sixth Sense or an even higher level!

During the last riot in the Black Prison, an elite Beiwei member had donned the armor, unleashing a power that matched... even exceeded Yang Chen’s formidable strength. With this undeniable power, they suppressed another Class B Forbidden Item, the Ice and Snow Witch.

In the end, before completely morphing, they committed suicide, choosing to die in a half-human, half-dragon form.

At the same time, they left behind a valuable legacy. Indeed, they had been assimilated by the armor, but they had also extracted immense power from the Black Dragon Armor, intending to leave this power to Li Yelai as a material after their death.

Such power was naturally formidable.

Once successful, Li Yelai would gain the formidable power of the Black Dragon Armor.

But the risk was also not low...

Thus, for this Awakening, Yang Chen had prepared extensively.

”At least, there won’t be any auxiliary abilities like Virtual Realm Beast Language this time,” Li Yelai chuckled lightly.

”Indeed, this time, you won’t need to depend on luck,” Cheese also chuckled, but the concern in his eyes was hard to hide.

Then, Li Yelai spotted a dinosaur Doll at a nearby corner and couldn’t help but wave.

”Hey, Doll!”

The Doll immediately lifted a sign in response, ”Keep it up, I’m here for you! (｀＾´)ノ”

”Thanks!” Li Yelai smiled in response.

Afterward, Li Yelai nodded to everyone and picked up the Gold-Plated Magic Medicine stored in the division, then entered the Awakening Room.

Again he started meditating. Over the next two hours, Li Yelai checked the status of the Soul Well multiple times.

Finally, he raised the gold-plated Magic Potion in his hand and drank it all in one gulp.

The potion tasted very strange, even somewhat fishy, like the smell of rotten seafood.

Li Yelai managed to swallow the Magic Potion, then began meditating.

”Breaking through now...” Yang Chen whispered, ”Beiwei Group, prepare to enter the Virtual Realm!”

”Yes!” Ye Boshou responded. They were the direct guards, the Beiwei Group.

Although theoretically they are trusted aides, in reality, Captain Level powerhouses do not need guards.

They each led a team into the wilderness to hunt extraordinary creatures.

This time, for the success of Li Yelai’s awakening, without any accidents, Yang Chen had recalled them.

Inside the Awakening Room, Li Yelai saw his soul well.

On the journey nearing the soul well, Li Yelai once again saw various tempting scenes.

Compared to the last awakening, this time the temptation was stronger and more realistic.

In the scene, he led thousands of troops, arriving at the Forbidden Zone.

Turning around, he saw endless Border Iron Guards and Human battle vehicles, saw tens of thousands of Processors!

They were crying out the name of a king!

Embracing the glory of battle!

As Li Yelai initiated the charge towards the Forbidden Zone to exterminate the enemies of humanity, it was today! It was now!

Li Yelai fought hard to suppress his impulse, abandoning the illusory Human Army, continuing his approach towards the soul well.

Someday, he would lead his team to assault the Forbidden Zone himself, without the need for such illusory temptations!

In the next moment, the scene around him changed again. He seemed to have been granted eternal life, his physical body indestructible, until eternity. He watched as years passed, all things withered, yet he remained forever young...

Boring, next.

Li Yelai snorted coldly, he actually had no feelings about eternal life. Can everyone live forever? What does it count for just one? Petty!

With Li Yelai’s rejection again, the scene disappeared.

He then arrived in a virtual space, where any question he asked would be answered.

Li Yelai paused, somewhat intrigued, but not greatly. Although he wanted to know some truths, he was not obsessed.

Thus, he broke free from that scene too.

The fourth scene was completely different from the previous ones. Here, Li Yelai saw the release of various desires.

Greed, gluttony, lust, vanity, and... slacking?

In any case, various persons familiar to Li Yelai were releasing their desires.

It seemed he just needed to agree, and he could become one of them.

At Li Yelai’s side, there were several scantily clad, stunningly beautiful girls.

Just like the last awakening, these girls were all friends Li Yelai knew well.

Of course, Yun Yan wasn’t there; she was far away, flamboyantly parading delicacies, which indeed fit her persona.

Li Yelai’s gaze swept over the girls around him, looking at their seductive yet beautiful faces, but in reality, they would never show such expressions.

Too discordant...

Li Yelai once again escaped from the illusion’s temptation.

The next second, he neared the soul well, and in the moment he passed through the soul well,

he felt a powerful force surge into his body. Good, very powerful!

This power was enough to let Li Yelai protect even more people!

He excitedly opened his eyes, planning to share with his comrades the success of this awakening.

But in that instant, his pupils shrank.

Before him had turned into a wasteland.

He staggeringly rose from the ruins, only to find himself surrounded by corpses.

Yang Chen, Cheese, Doll, Starfire, Yin Fire, Shadow Stream... one by one, bodies lay at his feet.

And at his feet, Yun Yan had already ceased to breathe, her face full of pain and despair.

In the sky, a blood-red figure sat upon a blood-red throne, looking down at the ants below.

It let out an indifferent voice, ”Come, human, seek revenge!”

Li Yelai’s eyes widened, even though he subconsciously knew this was an illusion, there was still a raging force driving his anger and killing intent!

”I’ll kill you!”

In the physical world, outside the Awakening Room, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

Because inside the Awakening Room, Li Yelai let out an inhuman roar.

Violent Spiritual Energy burst forth, sharp scales grew from his body, tearing apart the shirt on his back.

His fiercely beating heart was pounding like a war drum!

Two forces within him caused a violent reaction!

”Damn, he’s losing control!”
