Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 755: Chapter 354 Guardian·Rainbow Piercing Sun_2

Very good!

Li Yelai had only been in the Immortal Palace for a few days, yet he had already come across many Mythical Species, and even killed quite a few of them.

By now, Li Yelai had indeed confirmed he could choose five types of Mythical Mimic: Nine Infant, Sour and, Feng Xi, Ya Yu, and the recently encountered Lie Yang Golden Crow.

“I never thought I’d have the freedom to choose.” Li Yelai reflected inwardly, then said, “However, the Treasure Vault gave me a spear, but no bow, and it didn’t tell me how to revive this arrow.”

The official captain with the Spiritual Eyes Path eyes shone slightly as he used some ability to peer into the hidden powers within the arrow.

But in the endless golden fire, he saw a tightly shut eye.

His face became serious, “Inside this arrow, there’s a dormant consciousness.”

“An artifact creature? Could it be a Taboo Item? Something like the Shattering Star Spear?” someone asked.

“Very likely,” the captain replied, “but without reviving it, it’s merely a sturdy arrow for now.”

“Night General, since you have obtained such a treasure, perhaps only you can find a way to revive it. You keep it for now.”

Li Yelai nodded slightly.

Then someone asked, “What about your Blessing?”

The red gold color Blessing was sure to enhance the individual combat power of its receiver.

“This Blessing is called Rainbow Piercing Sun, it increases my close combat attacks by 3%, long-range attacks by 5%…”

“It’s not bad, but the increase is somewhat stingy. The top Blessings usually increase by ten or twenty percent, albeit it is a red gold color reward,” complained an official member.

“There’s more…”

Li Yelai spoke as he walked up to a giant stone lying around.

He lunged and punched, smashing a basin-sized dent into the rock and knocking some stones loose.

The comrades looked at each other, puzzled. This power seemed quite normal; was there something different?

But Li Yelai changed positions and again smashed out a similarly sized dent with another punch.

He continued smashing nine punches in succession until, on the tenth punch, the spectators’ expressions shifted.

The power of this punch far exceeded the previous nine, splitting the entire giant rock into two.

“Critical hit!!!” the Doll, holding up a billboard, seemed to understand something.

The other Spiritual Ability Users also showed changing expressions.

The notion of a ‘critical hit’ did not exist among Spiritual Ability Users; some Blessings either enhanced targeting against certain species or types,

or they bestowed new characteristics to Spiritual Energy.

Otherwise, why would the same Spiritual Energy suddenly explode?

“Right, it’s a critical hit. The increase from the Rainbow Piercing Sun is just a bonus; its real strength lies in the 10% critical hit rate. And within ten times, a critical is guaranteed, with the critical damage being 300%,” Li Yelai said with a smile.

“Three times the critical damage? So, if you strike fast enough, will you trigger more critical hits?” Lie Yang’s eyes widened, in a brawl who could react to a sudden critical hit? No one, not even the attacker knows when it will occur, let alone the enemy!

“Not only that, if you’re lucky enough, you can achieve a critical hit with every strike!” Jing Lin came over and said, “But with your luck, it’s not possible for every strike to be a critical.”

“You talk too much… but you’re also right; my luck is very poor. Look, I punched ten times, and only triggered a critical on the tenth.” Li Yelai laughed.

“So, your luck is too bad, you just get a minimum guaranteed critical hit… If someone had better luck, not…” Jing Lin’s expression changed while he was speaking.

Doll was the first to react, “Because Xiao Ye’s luck is very poor, he can only achieve a critical hit once in ten attacks.”

“But precisely because his luck is so poor, he can know exactly when he will score a critical hit!”

Yes, Li Yelai’s luck was too bad; even with a critical hit rate, he almost never landed one. If not for the Blessing that guaranteed a critical in ten tries, he might strike a hundred times without a single critical.

But when the Blessing of a guaranteed critical within ten strikes and his overwhelming Calamity co-existed,

they would trigger a miraculous reaction!

Because his luck was so bad, he never scored a critical, relying only on the final strike.

Isn’t this just turning the original random critical hit rate into a guaranteed critical hit on the tenth attack?

Li Yelai just needs to casually make nine attacks, then toy with his opponent, stacking damage and inflicting a massive blow with an additional 300% critical hit!

“Damn, Calamity can be played like this?” an official captain complained.

This really takes Calamity to its limits! It turns randomness into certainty!

This is a blessing in disguise!

“300%! It’s a pity, you can only challenge the Divine Treasure Vault once. If you could challenge it again now, stack another critical and perform the same finishing move. You would get even better rewards!” another captain exclaimed, slapping his thigh in disappointment.

Another captain gave an elbow jab, laughing and scolding, “You’re hitting my leg! But you’re right, if we could do it again, we might see rewards of other colors.”

“My recent attacks were largely due to Thunder Power. I’m not sure if my criticals could also affect the Thunder. But if I challenge again, the damage I deal would definitely be greater than before,” Li Yelai laughed. “However, if it weren’t for that challenge just now, I wouldn’t have received such a powerful Blessing. I should be content.”

Li Yelai was very satisfied with what he had gained.

Then, he saw the Stele outside the palace gates shimmering.

As expected, it was a peak achievement, easily surpassing Ye Han!

Li Yelai used Aerial Stepping, came above the large Stele, and in the shimmering spot, wrote down his name.

From a distance in the crowd, a Wilderness Ranger named Yun Yue furrowed her dainty brows.

She seemed to have sensed an aura of Chaos briefly but couldn’t pinpoint it.

…

On the other side, after Li Yelai finished his challenge, it was the Doll’s turn.

The terrifying luck twisted again, and the horrific Plasma Thunder reappeared.

Compared to Li Yelai’s showy performance, the Doll was much more straightforward.

She stood in the sky, behind her was the furious Purple Cloud Thunder.

The Plasma Thunder was compressed and twisted, then it plummeted downward!

The terrifying waves echoed across the Void Realm again, the dazzling lightning flashed across the sky dome, followed by a huge mushroom cloud.

But the Vault’s barrier remained intact.

The next moment, a red gold Light Sphere popped out, landing in Doll’s hand, turning into a gourd with a blue sky and white cloud pattern.

“Another red gold reward!”

“Doll rocks!” the official members cheered joyfully.

The Doll did not linger, landing in front of the large Stele. Looking at Li Yelai’s name on the Stele, a smile appeared under her helmet.

She then extended her finger to write her own name next to Li Yelai’s. Afterward, she drew a small heart between their names.

(..›ᴗ‹..)

…

Elsewhere, in a valley far from the Vault, someone spoke up: “It’s the Doll! The Doll also got a red gold reward! Just like Lord Di Yun!”

“the Doll? She really is terrifying. Giant City’s nuclear weapon…” a believer sighed, “It’s no wonder she’s Lord Di Yun’s woman.”

“Just rumors.” Bai Ya said coldly.

At that moment, a whimsical voice arose behind Bai Ya.

“Right, it must be that woman, the Doll. She made Lord Di Yun kneel and forced him to go back and be her Star Struggle!”

Bai Ya and the others instantly turned around and drew their weapons at their fastest speed, lunging at the figure that appeared behind them.

They realized the identity of the speaker in that instant and took the strongest action, finishing him off!

But that person, holding his glasses, said with a chuckling tone, “Stop, stop, can’t you take a joke? I came here to give you information.”

“You’ve been looking for Ye Han, and I’ve found him!”
