Capítulo 769: Chapter 360: The Fall of the Heavenly Palace, Beheading Ye Han_3

A voice rose amidst the intense flames, as a half-burnt body crawled out from the fierce inferno.

His flesh was blurred and bones were broken, with only his upper body and a fragmented right arm remaining. But even in such a gruesome condition, he was laughing wildly.

That was… Ye Han!

He was still alive, having survived this terrible Calamity. And the wounds were being repaired by the fierce flames burning over them.

That was the Blessing he had acquired in the Divine Treasure Vault, the Nirvana Fire!

It could only be triggered once, at the brink of death, consuming all Spiritual Energy to produce flames that healed injuries. As long as there was enough Spiritual Energy, it was equivalent to a second life!

This was the reason he had survived.

Li Yelai’s Thunder Spear was too powerful, so much so that even he could not withstand it, and was pierced straight through.

“But… I still survived.”

As the flames ignited, Ye Han’s condition was rapidly improving; his remaining Spiritual Energy was barely enough to repair the fatal wounds and restore his legs. He moved forward with weak steps through the ruins, searching for something.

Until he saw a gigantic Mountain King Avatar, or rather, a Mountain King Avatar that had been pierced by countless spears.

The Mountain King Avatar struggled to turn its head and, growling, said to Ye Han, “Damn it… died again…”

Then, it dissolved into a point of light and vanished completely.

And with the disappearance of the Mountain King Avatar, Ye Han saw a corpse.

The upper half of the corpse’s armor was burned away, and a broken Blood Flame Spear had pierced its abdomen, flames consuming the internal organs from within.

Ye Han could even see the corpse’s ribs and charred intestines.

The corpse’s head hung down, making it impossible to see its facial expression before death, which was a real pity.

“Hahaha, your luck really sucks. To think you’d get hit by a spear in that situation? Hahaha! So unlucky! Hahahaha!” Despite the immense pain, Ye Han laughed heartily. The Blood Flame Spear had, by utter chance, struck Li Yelai. How could he not be thrilled?

Then, Ye Han’s laughter ceased, “Li Yelai, I suppose I’ll never forget you in this lifetime, hm?”

This was the strongest enemy he had ever faced, and he had even killed him once. He deserved some respect.

Next, he had to run. The area seemed dangerous, as if something perilous was drawing near.

However, the next second, a voice accompanied by an increasingly intense heartbeat sounded, “Where’s your horse now?”

Then, to Ye Han’s horror, the ‘corpse’ moved, reaching into the wound at its abdomen and pulling out the charred intestines.

Followed by high-speed regeneration; new intestines grew, then bones, flesh… the wounds were healing at a high rate!

Li Yelai raised his head, revealing a benevolent, moss-green Divine Chosen Face.

That was… the Eternal Chosen Face!

“You are… a Chaos Chosen?” Ye Han was utterly terrified. Now, he didn’t have even a speck of Spiritual Energy left.

Trying to back away, he fell weakly onto the rubble due to his frailty.

Li Yelai’s injuries were rapidly healing as he rose from the debris, a blood-colored ring-headed knife with undulating patterns appeared in his hand.

“Your life is indeed hardy; you even survived this. Truly difficult to kill, and I don’t have much Spiritual Energy left either. Let’s start the second round,” Li Yelai approached with knife in hand.

Ye Han recoiled in terror, “Wait…”

Before he could finish, Li Yelai swung his knife.

The ability of the ring-headed knife was activated, Blood Sea Storm!

A colossal Blood Blade slashed out, dyeing the Sky Dome red, blood rain falling…

This was the last scene Ye Han saw.

As he died, his Divine Demon Stele fell out from the soul well.

(Don’t be mad, brothers. Lang stayed up all night to kill him off; his role was really just to be a boss, it wasn’t my intention to drag it out.)
