Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 352: 167 Chapter Evil Star Falling_2

His gaze pierced through dozens of kilometers to fall upon a Heavenly Meteor Qilin, oddly, its legs were somewhat lame...

The old man couldn’t help but chuckle, ”What a risky move... What do you think of him?”

Beside the old man stood the Little Mad King, with a longsword on her back. Her face was cold, and she stood tall behind the elderly man, even pushing a wheelchair.

The Little Mad King responded in a flat tone, ”The power of this move is strong, and he has yet another trump card. But the risk is high, and the limitations of the vehicle killer mean that he cannot easily use this trump. Nonetheless, the Night General’s power should not be underestimated. His body is strong, each of his three Faces has its merits, and the Wanxiang Path inherently possesses mimicry. Even for a Five Senses Spiritual Ability User, facing him is very troublesome.”

This was high praise. The Little Mad King herself was a formidable team captain. Had the Old Mad King not worried about the instability of her path, she would have advanced to the Seventh Awakening already. Her judgment was very sharp and seldom wrong.

”Yes, he’s a good kid.” The old man coughed a few times and said, ”You all are good kids, the future... Don’t be too adventurous.”

The old man was reminding the Little Mad King to not take excessive risks during missions and to withdraw decisively if things became untenable.

Mei Wu indeed was a despicable traitor, but there was no need for both to be sacrificed.

Both the Little Mad King and Night General Li Yelai were exceptional ’good kids’ who would bear heavy responsibilities in the future and must not be sacrificed in such a place.

”Danger can refine their true talents, just as it did for you... and for me...” said the Little Mad King softly. Although she was cold-hearted, she had great respect for the Old Mad King who had adopted her.

The old man was indeed the Old Mad King!

The strongest who had been engulfed by the Disaster Fog, who had fought and slain in the strange span of time, leading his kin out of the Disaster Fog, battling the Forbidden Zone Army before the Forbidden Zone was even formed, and ultimately becoming the King!

Called by the King of the Restricted Zone as the most arrogant King!

”Me?” The old man shook his head. ”I am far from as strong as you think. I and hundreds of millions of my kin were swallowed by the Disaster Fog, struggling for survival in its strange world. Within it, many strong ones were born. They were all exceptional people of their time, with even stronger predecessors among them. They blocked countless fatal blows for me, all saying just one thing to me...”

”Keep going, keep going! Humanity needs a King...”

”They blocked countless calamities for me, allowing me to grow stronger in the strange world. After who knows how many years, carrying their hopes, and with the last of my comrades, we fought our way out of the Disaster Fog, supporting the physical world...”

”But I have failed them, even as a King... I can no longer protect humanity...”

His voice was full of sorrow and reluctance, with intense spiritual energy fluctuations that even caused a massive storm of spiritual energy in the Void Realm, startling the Forbidden Zone creatures and causing Void Realm creatures to flee. Even the King of the Restricted Zone was vigilant.

They feared the Old Mad King might go mad, taking one or more of them with him in his death.

Yet the Old Mad King could only sigh in powerlessness.

The curse of the Spiritual Ability User prevented him from maintaining his peak combat strength, making him the first King to die of old age.

Old age... Such a ridiculous, sorrowful way to die!

In the bizarre world of the Disaster Fog, so many human talents, so many great predecessors saved him, but he had failed their expectations...

The Forbidden Zone was not yet eradicated, and yet his strength was failing... how unbearable it was!

He should have been holding the Three-pointed Two-edged Blade, leading thousands of troops to flatten the Forbidden Zone, reclaim the lost territories, and rebuild the nation!

Not as a sword that might break at any moment, always hidden within the Giant City, barely clinging to life.

He was too reluctant!

But he could not act rashly...

He could only place his hopes on the future, on the next generation.

And the most desperate moment for him was the death of the Seventh Generation Champion, the successor he had picked to protect humanity, who died in a Disaster Fog...

The Old Mad King was filled with immense regret that he could not block the fatal blow for the Seventh Generation Champion as those great predecessors had done for him.

And now, new talents were slowly emerging: Eighth Generation Champion Yang Chen, Doll, Little Mad King, several team captains, and... that Night General...

He no longer wanted any accidents to befall them.

He was going to die, in as long as two years or as short as three months, his life force would be completely gone.

By then, without a King to lead and no Supreme warrior...

Even if the Amber King took action, it would be difficult to succeed alone.

The situation for humans was becoming even more brutal.

”I know your thoughts, danger can forge the mind and enhance spiritual energy. But never take unnecessary risks...” the Old Mad King murmured.

The Little Mad King remained silent for a moment before replying, ”I will make sure the Night General survives, even though you don’t trust me...”

The Old Mad King chuckled lowly and sat in his wheelchair, allowing the Little Mad King to push him back into the room.

...

Elsewhere, in the shattered forest of the suburbs.

Li Yelai was unaware that the commotion he caused had attracted the attention of various powerhouses as he struggled to climb down from a broken tree.

Thrown about during the crash, he had no idea how many trees he had smashed before finally getting stuck on a branch of one tree.

It took him a while to recover and climb down, then he promptly vomited under the tree. Although he had never seen a roller coaster, he felt this must have been more thrilling than one.

Fortunately, he had taken off his helmet; otherwise, he might have vomited right into his face.

”This move really shouldn’t be used often. ’Vehicle Killer’ still reigns supreme!” Li Yelai spat out a mouthful of blood and then checked his body.

Alright, the Abyss Dragon Scale was slightly cracked, and the Ming Guang Armor was a bit twisted.

Luckily, his strong physique combined with the life force feedback from his heart meant Li Yelai had no significant injuries.

Then, Li Yelai saw a Heavenly Meteor Qilin embedded in the mud, majestic and elegant, yet now in a sorry state.

Its forelimb even seemed lame...

Upon seeing Li Yelai, the Heavenly Meteor Qilin even showed a hint of grievance in its eyes.

Who would continuously crash into several mountain peaks like a good person, huh?

”My Old Horse No. 2...” Li Yelai approached and comforted the Heavenly Meteor Qilin for a while before returning it to the bell.

Such injuries would heal over time for a summoning item, so there was no need for excessive worry.

Actually, it wasn’t really a big deal. The Heavenly Meteor Qilin’s full-speed output combined with ’Swift as the Wind’ and ’Move like a Thunderbolt’ was very powerful. But due to ’Vehicle Killer’, the Heavenly Meteor Qilin got injured and the reins snapped instantly.

This resulted in Li Yelai being thrown off, and the Heavenly Meteor Qilin also sustain serious injuries.

Success because of ’Vehicle Killer’, failure also because of ’Vehicle Killer.’

Li Yelai looked around at the scenery, very good, although a bit ragged, but the power was undeniable!

Using both wind and thunder tactics enhanced the impact power of the Heavenly Meteor Qilin a lot! It was truly like a meteor destroying everything.

However, the limitations were significant, almost draining all of Li Yelai’s Shadow Army, causing a severe depletion of his spiritual energy. And ’Vehicle Killer’... can’t be used unless absolutely necessary!

But Li Yelai was still excited, having gained another trump card, excellent!

Now, even if Mr. Shadow couldn’t trade them temporarily, Li Yelai had two powerful trump cards!

The first was the Super Dragon Thunder, named by Yang Chen as ’Spear of the End.’ That was definitely the last trump card, aptly named the ’End.’

And the second, the just-discovered ’Heavenly Comet Impact’...

Well, time to pick a name...

Li Yelai picked up his weapon and walked towards the outskirts of the suburb.

Thinking of a name for this trump card.

If he asked Li Yunyan, she might suggest something like ’Cute Star Sky Collision.’ The enemies that died from this move surely wouldn’t rest in peace.

But it also needed a more sensible name, after all, it wouldn’t look good in the reports.

”Let’s call it... ’Evil Star Falling’!”
