Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 378: Chapter 180: Taboo Items, Nether River Horn

Li Yelai gazed at the hand bone with mixed feelings.

He hadn’t expected that the skeleton of a human hero would reappear under such circumstances.

The hand bone was as white as jade, exuding a chilling oppression.

It was the hand bone of the Supreme Vast, and even after decades, it still contained remarkable power.

The bad news was, there was only one hand bone, making it impossible for Li Yelai to bury the Supreme Vast completely.

The good news, however, was also that there was only one hand bone. Otherwise, Li Yelai and the Little Mad King would have faced an even more formidable enemy.

Li Yelai stared at the monstrously assembled white jade hand bone; even under the Heavy Pupil, the weakness, a black line on the bone, seemed elusive and illusionary. After all, it came from the Supreme, and even in skeletal form, its vulnerabilities were few.

”Don’t attempt close combat. Although it has been sacrificed for many years, as a Supreme, no matter what Path it belongs to, even just a hand bone should not be underestimated. Not to mention, there is still the presence of Spiritual Ability Resonance. Close combat would be crushed,” warned the Little Mad King stepping out from the shadows behind Li Yelai, ”Also, I feel like the hand bone might contain some mysterious material.”

”So you mean to say, from the worst perspective, the hand bone could still exhibit some ability? What Path did the Supreme Vast belong to?” Li Yelai asked.

If it was the Ravings or Spiritual Eyes Path, surely just a hand bone couldn’t release any abilities, right?

”The Zero Path. But actually, reaching the Supreme Level, even without using abilities, is very formidable.”

As the Little Mad King finished speaking, the monster made its move.

Hooves struck the ground, and in an instant, it shot up over ten meters high, landing on the outer wall of a nearby ruin. The impact was so forceful that the ground and the wall cracked instantly.

The monster, using the wall of the ruins, ricochetted like a pool ball in midair, rapidly approaching Li Yelai and the Little Mad King at a lightning-fast speed.

”It looks like it didn’t inherit the Spiritual Ability Technique of the Supreme Vast!” Li Yelai breathed a sigh of relief internally; this was undoubtedly good news.

It was said that a Supreme fighter could strangle an enemy simply by using Spiritual Ability Technique without employing abilities.

Immediately after, Li Yelai continued to retreat using Aerial Stepping, keeping his distance from the monster.

The Little Mad King didn’t strike again but simply stepped back into the shadows of the ruins.

This caused the monster to lock its target on Li Yelai. Its hooves pounded the ground, using the surrounding crumbled buildings as pivots to chase after Li Yelai repeatedly.

However, the monster’s lower horse body, being the remains of an Extraordinary Creature, wasn’t very strong. Relying solely on its physical power, it couldn’t catch up to Li Yelai. If it were the body of a Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt, perhaps Li Yelai would have to ride the Heavenly Meteor Qilin.

This was one of the reasons it desperately sought more remnants of creatures.

Instinctively, it wanted to hunt more life forms and sew their limbs onto its body. The human in front of it was one such material it could experiment with.

Thus, the next second, the monster reached the roadside, its left Supreme hand bone transforming into a hand knife, cleanly slicing through a streetlight like a hot knife through butter. From the cut, molten steel dripped.

The right arm of the monster, a Ghostface Giant Ape, grabbed the streetlight and hurled it directly at Li Yelai, who was far away. The streetlight shot out like an arrow, whistling through the air.

”If it can’t catch up, it resorts to long-range, looks like it has no other long-range methods,” thought Li Yelai as he stepped aside midair, dodging the streetlight.

Simultaneously, within the Dragon Claw Illusion Realm, the Gulan Sanks Spear reappeared, its red thunder illuminating the ruins.

Li Yelai aimed at the monster’s head, and the Thunder Spear shot out rapidly!

Compared to the monster’s thrown streetlight, Li Yelai’s Thunder Spear was faster and stronger!

It struck like a true Thunderbolt.

However, just as the Thunder Spear was about to hit the monster from five meters away, the spear suddenly ignited.

Black flames instantly covered the entire Thunder Spear, completely consuming it in an instant.

Could these black flames even ignite thunder?

Was this the residual power of the Supreme hand bone?

”The Seventh Awakening Ability of the Zero Path, Black Prison Flame Cage,” the Little Mad King remarked, ”Luckily, it’s not an Eighth Awakening ability, its attack range is also greatly reduced.”

Seventh Awakening Ability?

Li Yelai felt a chill, relieved he hadn’t attempted close combat; otherwise, he might have been reduced to ashes under this ability.

But after the initial shock, Li Yelai smiled.

In the distance, the people from the Red Dart Commerce looked up in horror at the sky.

The sky, previously clear, was now swirling with black clouds.

The Thunder Spear hadn’t hit the enemy but was destroyed midway.

This meant Li Yelai had violated the vow he had made.

Thus, the price for breaking the vow arrived.

In an instant, the world changed color, thunder clouds covered the deserted city.

The monster, startled by the thunder clouds, raised its bear head to look skyward. Its dull eyes reflected a shocking scene.

Under the black clouds, Li Yelai stood above the ruins, behind him endless thunder clouds, as if he were the ruler of this piece of sky.

Activating his Third Awakening Ability, Mimicry·Abyss Dragon Scale!

Dark Dragon Scales adorned him.

Making Li Yelai’s figure even more imposing and tyrannical, like the Thunder God.

”Well then, let’s see who is more powerful. This opportunity is rare...”

Li Yelai’s voice rose accompanied by the thunder.

Robust lightning struck towards Li Yelai, but the Red Thunder Dragon Claw lifted, frightful thunder coiled around it, transforming into an even larger Red Thunder Spear.

The lifted Red Thunder Dragon Claw slammed down vigorously, and in that instant, a myriad of thunder struck!
