Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 799: Chapter 373: Bloody Battle

From a certain perspective, Li Yelai indeed got wiped out in an instant.

His Spiritual Energy was drained by more than sixty percent, and his physical strength had not recovered either.

In the raging current, he encountered the Ba Snake that had been drawn by the inscription “You Must Meet Strong Enemies.”

It was the very same Ba Snake they had seen before!

It was already in peril, swept away by the tsunami, yet upon seeing the exhausted Li Yelai, it launched an attack directly.

It swallowed Li Yelai whole in one bite!

This was the Ba Snake’s talent ability, which in ancient myth, had once swallowed a giant elephant whole.

It not only had a powerful devouring ability but also secreted a kind of Snake Glue in its body that disturbed the mind, casting the prey swallowed into its body into an illusion, leaving them without resistance and slowly refining them. Each prey was equivalent to a reserve energy source for it, a stepping stone to its advancement.

Thankfully, Li Yelai still had his Black Ink Armor activated, and even though swallowed, he wouldn’t be immediately digested.

Otherwise, by now, his skin and flesh would likely have already corroded away.

Of course, if too much time passed… it was hard to say how it would go once his Spiritual Energy ran out.

At the same time, “Mimicry·Divine Hidden Dragon Soul” was an integrated offense and defense.

With Li Yelai activating the Dragon Soul, a dragon’s roar resonated, and a golden Dragon Shadow appeared alongside Li Yelai’s Spiritual Ability Projection. The dragon body entwined with the soul projection, enhancing Li Yelai’s Spirit Resistance.

Only then did Li Yelai manage to escape the illusion.

Otherwise, Li Yelai dying here silently, nobody would have known.

As for the counterattack…

Li Yelai activating the Face had already triggered the most ferocious counterattack!

At this moment, he was swallowed by the Ba Snake, inside the serpent’s body.

The Ba Snake became his vehicle, and the curse of the vehicle killer was triggered!

All the malice originally directed at Li Yelai was now applied to the Ba Snake.

Sudden falling rocks, inexplicably startled Fierce Beasts, stray bullets flying from afar… these ‘accidents’ would one by one find the Ba Snake!

Almost in an instant.

The Ba Snake, struggling in the sea, faintly felt something ominous.

A while ago, it had accidentally spotted the Human Spiritual Ability User it had seen before. Without the slightest hesitation, it swallowed him in one bite.

The human had an aura that irked it, which it must digest thoroughly!

However, at this moment, it felt that danger was rising from all around.

It was swept by the waves and slammed into a suddenly rising massive mountain range, leaving it dizzy.

As the Ba Snake barely regained clarity, it saw a boulder as large as a mountain suddenly plummeting toward it.

The Ba Snake was shocked; in this weird sea, Spiritual Energy was affected.

If it were to be hit by such a boulder under these circumstances, even as a Sixth Sense Mythical Species, it would suffer heavy injuries.

Thus, it decisively twisted its body, but it was too large. Its hundred-meter-long body struggled to maneuver in such a cramped space.

A ruthless gleam flashed in the Ba Snake’s eyes, and blood light burst from its tail as it lashed out, cleaving the giant boulder in two.

The terrifying force split the boulder apart.

The Ba Snake was overjoyed, but then it saw a colossal humanoid creature with green face and tusks emerge from the broken boulder.

It had chisel-like huge tusks and a pair of savage black horns on its head.

It extracted and refined the minerals within the boulder, forming a shield and spear with a mere gesture of its hands!

The tusked creature appeared to have been awakened from a slumber, its eyes opening.

Those crimson eyes, upon sighting the Ba Snake’s tail stabbed into its chest, exploded into a violent fury!

“This old thing is still alive?” The Ba Snake was dumbfounded. As a native creature of the Immortal Palace, it naturally recognized the monster’s identity.

It was a Chisel Tooth Beast!

The Immortal Palace occupied hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and indeed, many powerful creatures had arisen over the years.

Especially the Mythical Species, with extremely high potential – as long as they had lengthy periods for growth, they could ascend to become Overlords.

They were species not inferior to the Ancient Dragons. Some exceptional ones even surpassed most Ancient Dragons.

But because of the Immortal Palace’s restrictions, their racial talents became their fatal flaws instead.

Within the Immortal Palace, once any became an Overlord, it would attract Heavenly Tribulation, which was almost a certain death!

Therefore, many Sixth Sense creatures, sensing they were still growing, would deliberately fall into slumber, trying to prolong their lives as much as possible.

Of course, some Sixth Sense Beasts would die in their sleep, or, by some negligence, awaken, ascend, and then be taken away by the Heavenly Tribulation.

This could maybe prolong their lifespan by a few hundred years at most.

This Chisel Tooth Beast was one of them.

Over three hundred years ago, it had vanished without a trace; so much time had passed, it should have been long dead.

Why did it have to encounter it? It had only attacked the boulder out of self-preservation, so why did it provoke this sort of creature?

What the hell, what the hell!

The Ba Snake roared inwardly, while its body rapidly retreated, its forked tongue testing the waters, trying to communicate with the Chisel Tooth. It had no intention of offending…

But the Chisel Tooth was not listening; its species was naturally irritable and vindictive.

In the era of the Heavenly Palace, a powerful Immortal Monarch had shot at the ancestor of the Chisel Tooth, and its species had held a grudge against that Immortal Monarch ever since. Night and day, they honed their weapons, intending to exact Revenge.

And now, having been sleeping soundly, it was awoken by a blow from the Ba Snake’s tail.

Upon opening its eyes, it found its mountain gone, submerged in water.

Talk about a misunderstanding? Misunderstanding my snake head!

“Calm down; do you want to draw in the Heavenly Tribulation?”

The Ba Snake’s tongue shot out again; under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t need to be so humble.
