Netherworld Retrograde

”Encountering strong enemies is just one kind,” he murmured, unsure what creatures it might summon.

Know that within the Disaster Fog, there are a great number of extraordinary creatures or advanced insect races, equivalent to a human with high-level spiritual awakening.

Moreover, the authorities used the dangerous Class B forbidden item, the Mixed Element Banner, to contain the Disaster Fog, which brought about various natural catastrophes.

If he used his power, a heavenly thunder might strike him real!

Therefore, Li Yelai had been hesitant to use the Face, fearing he might harm those around him.

In the previous battle, he relied solely on his formidable physical power and his skilled Single-handed Eighteen Strokes.

But now, he couldn’t hesitate anymore!

If the Mountain Dragon continued to advance, it might destroy many shelters before it was killed by the insect swarm or the officials.

More people would die unnatural deaths!

He had to stop this Mountain Dragon!

The more concerns he had, the more he would lose!

”A Mountain Dragon, huh? Let’s see if you’re considered a vehicle!”

Li Yelai activated his Face, Overlord Xiang Yu! Heavy Eyes Appear!

His long spear moved crazily in his hands, smashing all the approaching insect swarms.

He narrowly dodged the sharp claws of a huge insect from the advanced races.

”Cover me!” he bellowed, charging towards the Mountain Dragon and the swarm!

Seeing this, the official Spiritual Ability Users were astonished, then asked, ”What is he shouting?”

They were too far to hear Li Yelai’s shouting, but they could see Li Yelai still charging into the depths of the swarm.

”Night General’s curse includes a vehicle killer—he was the one who dealt with the Netherworld Train!” yelled a Processor, ”He’s trying to do the same to the Mountain Dragon!”

”That strange? A vehicle... the Mountain Dragon counts as a vehicle?” a team captain exclaimed, ”Is he reliable?”

”At this point, what other options do you have? The Night General is risking his life to try! I choose to believe in the Night General!” another captain roared, ”Everyone, cover the Night General in his assault on the Mountain Dragon!”

”Yes! Protect the Night General!”

”Push on, push on!”

Thus, the Processors who were originally attacking the Mountain Dragon changed tactics and started targeting the insect swarm, the artillery at the back adjusting their barrels to avoid hitting Li Yelai.

One Processor rammed open a gigantic War Worm that was over ten meters tall.

A Processor, mouth bleeding, surrounded by more of the swarm, laughed, pulling his sword, ”Charge, Night General, hahaha!”

Another Processor soared into the air, wielding a huge flying sword, slicing through the swarm next to Li Yelai.

The artillery slowly progressing barrage of fire precisely exploded the gathered swarm on the ground.

This significantly reduced the pressure on Li Yelai, though he had no time to thank his comrades.

Instead, he continued his charge towards the Mountain Dragon.

Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, one hundred meters!

In the final stretch, a massive swarm gathered.

It seemed they also received some kind of command, forming a sea of insects surging towards Li Yelai.

Such a number, his spear wouldn’t be able to kill them all!

For the first time, Li Yelai so desperately wished he was a Spiritual Ability User of either the Zero Path or Path of Babbling, with their wide-range attack abilities that might have destroyed this insect tide.

But he was not discouraged, those who sacrificed themselves to protect him were right behind him!

Right behind him!

So, he must charge with all his might!

”Charge!” Li Yelai screamed, he had no retreat left! To get here, his comrades had paid too much!

He would not retreat! Battle to the death!

He activated his third ability, Abyss Dragon Scale!

Switched his Face, Sealing Langju Xuhuo Qubing!

Immediately, he deployed the Shadow Army!

Moving like a thunderbolt!

”Thunder!!!!!”

After experiencing numerous insect tides, Li Yelai had taken many shadows.

Now, the number of Shadow Army soldiers had reached one hundred and eight—enough to storm Liang Mountain!

At this moment, all one hundred and eight Shadow Army soldiers turned into Heavy Cavalry and, under Li Yelai’s lead, directly collided with the thick swarm from mid-air.

Burst through!

In the intense collision, countless insects were torn apart, and some of the Shadow Army were shattered.

Both sides launched a desperate counterattack, the Heavy Cavalry stabbed out with their cavalry spears, shredding the Insect Swarm, and the warhorses beneath them charged forth with the force of thunder.

Yet the Insect Swarm did not give way easily, displaying their sharp claws and mouthparts, fiercely resisting the cavalry.

With an overwhelming number advantage, they forcefully resisted the deadly pierce and carve of the cavalry!

Li Yelai swung his sharp long spear, deploying almost all gunmanship techniques single-handedly.

He even shattered a Hunting Insect that was mixed within the swarm.

But still, he struggled to fend off the vast numbers of the Insect Swarm, many sections of his Abyss Dragon Scale were damaged, and the Spiritual Barrier beneath was torn apart multiple times.

Li Yelai was already drenched in blood, his physical strength was nearly depleted, and the Dragon Colt beneath him, covered in wounds, struggled to advance.

But he did not give up!

His heartbeat thundered like war drums, a smear of blood-red spread across his eyes.

In the endless Void Realm, some existence cast its gaze upon him.

This allowed Li Yelai, who was originally exhausted, to regain some strength at this moment.

Li Yelai knew what that thing was, it was a Divine of Chaos.

But he no longer cared.

Recovering a trace of strength gave him the last capital, he crazily swung his long spear; the spear’s ear broke. Yet, it also created an opportunity.

As the Heavy Cavalry of the Shadow Army beside him were largely destroyed, the broken long spear thrust out, piercing through the last blocking Hunting Insect!

At the same time, his vision brightened! He saw the huge dragon head of the Mountain Dragon!

He successfully charged out of the Insect Swarm!

The horse armor on his entire body shattered, and the Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt dissipated with a roar.

And Li Yelai also fell onto the protruding upper jaw of the Mountain Dragon.

Li Yelai, leaning on his broken long spear, struggled to stand up.

At the same time, the Mountain Dragon seemed to sense something, its enormous eye moved downward, seeing the human on its face.

For some reason, a vague feeling made it somewhat uneasy.

”Ha ha ha....” Li Yelai, looking at the Mountain Dragon’s eye, let out a hoarse laugh. He firmly gripped the Mountain Dragon’s rocky armor with his long spear and responded in Virtual Realm Beast Language, ”Hello, Mountain Dragon!”

His voice carried a thick malice!

The next second, a certain fear flashed across the Mountain Dragon’s eyes.

It instinctively felt that something ominous had descended upon it.

It uneasily shook its head, but Li Yelai had already hidden within the cracks of its thick rocky armor; calling it cracks, for humans, it was more like a trench. Inside, there still resided some residual members of the Insect Race. Li Yelai ignored them, activated Immovable as a Mountain, materialized the solid Shield Mountain, and tightly tucked himself within the crack.

Li Yelai clenched his teeth and held his body tightly! Just hiding until the curse triggered would be enough!

This greatly irritated the Mountain Dragon, already being pummeled, it completely exploded.

It suddenly changed direction, heading straight for a skyscraper miles to the right.

It planned to crush or smash to death the human hiding on its body.

However, just a few seconds after it changed direction.

The Insect Swarm suddenly violently attacked the Mountain Dragon, or rather, tried to stop its advance.

The next second, the Mountain Dragon felt the ground beneath it become empty, the originally solid and firm ground suddenly collapsed.

Revealing a huge creature burrowing the ground beneath, it seemed to be a worm.

It had a body as segmented as earthworms, but its head was equipped with the mouthparts of a lamprey.

Just its body width was over twenty meters.

That was the Slaughter Insect Swarm’s advanced unit, the Abyss Worm.

It specialized in burrowing underground spaces for the Insect Race.

The reason the Slaughter Insect Swarm could emerge from all corners was due to the Abyss Worms excavating underground tunnels.

And now, due to the Mountain Dragon’s sudden change in direction, it directly stepped on the underground space being excavated by the Abyss Worm.

The heavy Mountain Dragon directly trampled the ground!

This caused the two massive creatures to suddenly encounter each other.

Mountain Dragon: ?

Abyss Worm: ?

The next second, both the Mountain Dragon and the Abyss Worm let out terrified roars, and then, the uncontrollable Mountain Dragon completely crashed into the deep pit!

...

On the other side, the Book Holder suddenly halted, he watched incredulously at the Book of Destiny.

Destiny... had suddenly changed!
