Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 714: Chapter 335 No Regret Gem

Mythical Mimicry.

A collective term for the powers obtained by Wanxiang Path Spiritual Ability Users during the Sixth Sense.

Once one acquired Mythical Mimicry, they could gain one or more Blessings corresponding to it.

At the same time, they could transform into legendary creatures, causing their combat power to drastically increase.

Thus, advancing to the Sixth Sense was considered a qualitative change for the Wanxiang Path.

Many strong figures of the Wanxiang Path shone brightly after reaching the Sixth Sense.

For instance, the Fifth-generation Champion, whose Mythical Mimicry was the mythical fierce beast, Taotie.

It could devour a Forbidden Zone Overlord in one bite, consuming both the opponent’s released Spiritual Energy attacks and Spiritual Ability Equipment. It was the most dreaded existence in that era by both the Forbidden Zone and the Church.

Encountering it meant absolute annihilation.

Another example was Captain Lie Yang of the West City Branch, whose Mythical Mimicry was the Sun Golden Crow, truly capable of transforming into a Golden Crow and unleashing terrifying light and heat, virtually serving as a non-polluting mini nuclear bomb. Among the captains, this output was among the strongest.

Like Li Yelai, also a Melting Furnace Captain of the East City Branch, whose Mythical Mimicry was Huo Dou. Although it did not clearly enhance combat strength, it granted him extremely terrifying endurance. Against Spiritual Ability Users who played with fire, he presumed he could emerge unscathed and even have a good meal, fully restoring his own Spiritual Energy.

This was Mythical Mimicry, a power awaited by all Wanxiang Path Spiritual Ability Users.

As a Wanxiang Path Spiritual Ability User, Li Yelai naturally had high expectations.

If Mythical Mimicry and Divine General Dharma Image were used at the same time, how enormous would the mimicry’s form be? It could probably cover the sky and block the sun.

But the only downside was its uncertainty.

No one could be a hundred percent certain about which legendary species they would mimic.

The Magic Potion Recipe was also very difficult to complete, mainly because obtaining materials from Mythical Creatures was impossible.

Thus, in many cases, it was quite dependent on luck.

This was what Li Yelai was recently troubled by.

Although, he had only just stepped onto the Fifth Tier of the Fifth Sense, still a considerable distance from the Sixth Sense. Theoretically, he could prepare the corresponding Magic Potion in advance.

But if Sixth Sense depended on luck…

Li Yelai was very conscious of his own fortune.

Not to mention the Curse of Misfortune after opening the ‘Face,’ from childhood to adulthood, he had never won a ‘One More Bottle’ or ‘One Yuan Enjoyment.’

Without the assurance of a Magic Potion, Li Yelai feared he might draw some abstract Mythical Mimicry. It could even conflict with his other powers.

That’s what troubled Li Yelai. He had originally planned to go to the Ark to inquire.

But unexpectedly, Hong Lan brought it up proactively.

“As fellow Wanxiang Path Spiritual Ability Users, I naturally understand Lord Ye’s concerns,” Hong Lan said with a smile, her beautiful appearance making her friendly smile more convincing.

“Mr. Hong… Do you have Mythical Creature materials or clues?” Little Mad King asked, his eyes twinkling.

As a thank-you gift, presenting a Mythical Creature’s material would be overly extravagant.

Even for the wealthy Hong Family, such a high-level thank-you gift was unlikely; it was probably a clue about a Mythical Creature.

“Such materials are hard to come by, our Hong Family has never acquired any,” Hong Lan shook her head, “And even if it were Mythical Creature materials, they wouldn’t be what Lord Ye needs, right? Lord Ye must have a preferred Mythical Species.”

Li Yelai silently nodded.

Indeed, there were numerous types of Mythical Creatures.

Even if one fortuitously obtained a material, if it wasn’t what he needed, it could only serve as a treasured collectible.

But Li Yelai had a target in mind for his Mythical Mimicry.

He longed to obtain Mythical Creatures like Nine Infant, Xiang Liu, or Kai Ming Beast, all possessing multiple heads.

To match his Face and achieve simultaneous use tactics.

Li Yelai’s ability combinations were nearly flawless, close combat, long-range, single-target, and group strategies, all having their respective tactics.

If a flaw must be named, it would be the inability to use multiple Faces at once.

If this difficulty could be overcome, Li Yelai’s combat power could soar even higher!

However, among these targets.

Li Yelai had only come across the dismembered Nine Infant inside the Dead Sea Wreck.

He had sacrificed one of Nine Infant’s heads to the Blood River, unfortunately not retaining any material.

“Then, Mr. Hong… do you have similar clues or rumors?” Li Yelai inquired.

Hong Lan smiled and shook her head, “If it’s only about clues and rumors, how could the Hong Family repay a debt of gratitude? If I really did that, my great-grandfather would probably come to me in a dream and scold me for being an unfilial descendant.”

“You may be aware that my Hong Family has participated in numerous Disaster Fog strategies. Of course, that was decades ago,” Hong Lan explained.

Li Yelai and the others nodded slightly. To ensure that Disaster Fog did not transform into a Forbidden Zone, and desiring the benefits within the Disaster Fog, most Spiritual Ability Families were very active in strategizing the Disaster Fog.

These Disaster Fogs randomly emerged in the world after the Calamity.

Some were advance teams from a Forbidden Zone civilization, while others were fragments of projection from some eerie world.

Whenever a Disaster Fog was discovered, the closest Giant Cities and Families would cooperate, preparing a large number of people, multiple Giant Cities joining together, bringing armies to strategize the Disaster Fog.

Back then, the Seventh-generation Champion leading Champion Team One had accidentally encountered Disaster Fog No. 49.

Otherwise, they would have brought the Legion to strategize.

Of course, in hindsight-being-wise, not bringing the Legion was the correct move.

Otherwise, the fear of every soldier would materialize, making the Disaster Fog even more terrifying!
