Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 795: Chapter 371 Time Tree

As Jing Tianming’s breath ceased, the strand of green flame that had left the Ghost Immortal terrified also flickered and was thoroughly extinguished.

Just as the Ghost Immortal had surmised, Jing Tianming’s was a dying counterattack in a sudden flash of brilliance; as long as he avoided the spear, Jing Tianming would die of his own accord, without need for pursuit.

Yet Jing Tianming departed with a smile, having done all that he could do.

He knew full well that a successor would take up his mantle, continuing the fight against the Ghost Immortal, illuminating the dark night of despair, and welcoming the dawn of hope.

Meanwhile, at the far end of the sky, more and more green flames blazed brightly, as a multitude of human powerhouses sped to the rescue.

That extinguished green flame seemed like a signal released, drawing countless human powerhouses!

This made the face of the Ghost Immortal turn sour.

Moreover, even more troublesome and malicious entities were drawing near. No… They were already near!

The Ghost Immortal suddenly turned towards the direction Jing Tianming had fled.

Almost the instant that Jing Tianming’s breath ceased, a figure against the backdrop of collapsing debris and a stone waterfall, charged straight at the Ghost Immortal.

In his hands, the long spear danced, and his murderous intent boiled over.

The Ghost Immortal’s face drastically changed, sensing within this human powerhouse the relics of two potent beings, each smeared with dangerous karma.

One was a tombstone that had buried thousands of divine demons. In some future, it would assuredly rise to the top.

The other was a golden arrow, slumbering within it a terrifyingly potent aura. Was that… Lord Da Yi’s Solar Piercing Golden Arrow?

If that were all, it would be fine; just forcing him to retreat would suffice. Unable to kill for fear of being embroiled in the karma of that tombstone.

But at this moment, that figure emitted an odious breath so loathsome that even the All Heavens Gods and Buddhas would detest and abhor it. His presence seemed like some incomprehensible poison, causing a searing pain in the Ghost Immortal’s eyes.

What the hell is this thing?

Even as a Ghost Immortal, his expression was now harrowed, and he swung his arm, his sleeve billowing: “Get lost!”

And that person also bellowed similarly: “Get lost!”

The human powerhouse who arrived first at the pagoda was naturally Li Yelai, who was closest.

In fact, Li Yelai’s target was not the Ghost Immortal but the tower suspended behind it!

About fifteen seconds earlier, the moment Li Yelai saw the green flame, he also felt an overwhelming sense of fear.

This feeling was very ominous, as if some danger was descending.

His body shook involuntarily, and a desire to flee surged within him.

He suppressed the terror in his heart and mustered all his strength to charge towards the pagoda.

Simultaneously, he directly activated the Divine Demon Stele within the Soul Well!

Let’s see whose life is tougher!

Within the Void Realm, mysterious Buddhist sounds echoed, while thousands of divine demons wailed in unison.

Li Yelai’s Curse of Misfortune was enhanced to the extreme. It was as if malice from the entire world had converged upon him.

And as he approached the pagoda, the divine light accumulating on the pagoda suddenly paled, and the originally sturdy structure began to decay and collapse, the entire pagoda tilting toward him! Even a Spiritual Ability User hit by a structure made of such special material could be severely injured or even killed.

But Li Yelai didn’t care about anything else, moving against the flow to destroy the whole pagoda.

Yet the highest floor at the very top of the pagoda eerily levitated, with white branches stretching out from it.

That area, as if already separated from the Immortal Palace, was unaffected by physical laws and grew rapidly in mid-air.

Was that… the branch of the Time Tree? It had grown so big already?

‘It’s too late, escape!’ a voice abruptly appeared in his mind.

‘The Calamity has descended; turn around and leave now, and you will survive. You’re no hero, run!’

‘Obey the desires of your heart; you’re afraid of all this…’

‘You…’

“Shut up, shut up, there’s still time!”

Li Yelai roared, rushing toward the top of the pagoda, intending to destroy that anchor.

But whether it was the curse’s effectiveness at crucial moments, or just plain bad luck,

The Ghost Immortal happened to be blocking his path.

This infuriated Li Yelai, who immediately switched his Face to Hated Earth·Li Yuanba!

Divine General Dharma Image!

Simultaneously, the Blue Sky White Cloud Gourd at his waist opened, and a tide of furious Purple Gold Thunder poured out, grasped by the Dharma Image and instantly refined!

Mimicry·Red Thunder Dragon Claw!

The raging thunder turned into a Thunder Spear tens of meters long, aimed at the Ghost Immortal, or rather, at the suspended tower behind him, and thrust straight at it!

Annihilation Thunder!

Li Yelai unleashed his strongest attack, determined to destroy both the damnable enemy and the anchor together!

The Ghost Immortal, equally cautious, had an even worse feeling about Li Yelai.

As a being born from a corpse, the Ghost Immortal possessed an Immortal Body, and based on physical power alone, he was undoubtedly the strongest entity within the Immortal Palace.

Also, he had intense inspiration, making all his actions virtually unstoppable.

This was the gift this body had given him, the legacy of an Immortal perfectly inherited!

But he had his limitations; he could not leave the Immortal Palace.

As an original Immortal on the verge of death, he had foreseen the potential danger his corpse might pose.

Unable to completely destroy his own body, he linked himself with the ruins of the Immortal Palace, ensuring that even if a soul creature arose, it would never be able to leave the palace for all eternity.

This so-called defense mechanism was, in reality, guarding against the Ghost Immortal himself!

The Ghost Immortal had existed in the Immortal Palace for countless years, yet he had been unable to escape. Nor dared he ascend to higher levels for fear of being killed by the Heavenly Tribulation.

This caused him immense pain; he had inherited the legacy and talent of an Immortal. If he could leave the Immortal Palace, he could even return to his peak and become the only Immortal in the world.
