Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 842: Chapter 93: Divine Calamity (Part 2)

During the charge, tripped by something unknown, or in mid-air, the slain enemy happened to crash face first…

This ‘unlucky’ moment made Li Ye extremely alert; encountering calamity near a gas station or natural gas site.

Li Ye might survive, but nearby civilians would suffer.

Therefore, Li Ye suggested the Hong Family conduct the experiment outside Giant City.

“Rest assured, Night General Captain. Here, ensuring no impact on anyone. Also eliminates many accidents.” assured the Hong Family’s old steward.

Actually, the Hong Family was prepared to conduct the experiment outside the city.

But secret instructions from the Amber King changed their plans.

No matter what happens, the Amber King does not wish to be noticed by the outside world.

Later, Li Ye and the old steward walked through secret passages, winding and twisting until they reached the destination.

It was a house built deep in the mountains, the house wasn’t large, but very sturdy, Li Ye even saw extraordinary metal on the walls.

This kind of resource is only affordable by a wealthy family; this wall alone is enough to forge several B and C-grade Spiritual Ability Equipment.

“Lord Ye, based on your many suggestions, we, the Hong Family, have carefully chosen here.” the old steward explained.

“This place is far from either mountain range, no worry of landslide risk.”

“The terrain is good here, and floods or tsunamis won’t occur.”

“The geological structure is solid, also not on an earthquake belt…”

“The entire house has been fortified and modified, even if attacked, it won’t collapse.”

The Hong Family indeed considered all aspects. Catastrophes and disasters were accounted for.

“Also you must meet strong enemies, a Supreme and two Dominators have already arrived. Presumably, nothing so foolish will appear.”

Li Ye saw three figures flash by not far away.

One of them was a female Dominator from the Hong Family, and the other two were from Lava Mine City, Giant Cauldron Dominator and Rock Supreme.

Li Ye saluted the three, who smiled and nodded in return.

“Honestly, Lord Ye, it’s not easy for you.” The old steward marveled, believing that surviving so many curses is already a miracle.

“Who would say otherwise?” Li Ye retorted, and asked, “Where is your Family Head?”

“Right inside the room. Please…”

Soon, Li Ye entered the small room, which was exceptionally sparse, with few furnishings, perhaps fearing ‘calamity’ had removed them in advance.

He saw the master of the Hong Family, Hong Lan.

Compared to the last meeting, her dignified and steady demeanor had drastically changed.

She wore a simple short-sleeved summer outfit, casually leaning on a lounger, like a young girl taking a leisurely nap, appearing particularly relaxed and content.

Just this scene alone made it hard to tell, she was the ruthless person suppressing family infighting with ironclad methods.

But her eyes remained bright and deep, as if able to see into people’s hearts.

And under her shorts, her legs were covered in red patterns.

These patterns seemed alive, twisting on her unusually slender legs.

“Lord Ye, long time no see.” Hong Lan smiled and said, “Thank you for willing to come.”

“It was prearranged, Master Hong Lan.” Li Ye replied, “So, shall I begin?”

“Yes.” Hong Lan gathered her smile and responded sternly, “I’m counting on you.”

“I will do my best.”

Afterwards, Hong Lan watched as Li Ye reached out and wiped his face.

In an instant, a black and white face appeared, while a pair of frightening Heavy Pupils opened.

Activating the face, Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu!

This sent a tremor through Hong Lan’s heart.

She finally saw the legendary Wanxiang Face Mask, the terrifying ability to mimic other paths of Spiritual Ability Users!

Then followed… Reversal Demon Tablet!

At that moment, Hong Lan felt like she heard a sharp explosion, and the red patterns on her legs twisted instantaneously!

….

On the other side, outside the house, three experts were vigilantly observing the surroundings, while chatting idly.

“Champion Agent, Night General… how did your Hong Family befriend him even before the opening of the Immortal Palace?” Giant Cauldron Dominator, a middle-aged man, curiously asked, “After the Immortal Palace, everyone knows Night General’s amazing battle prowess, truly invincible at the same level. But before that, he wasn’t prominent, so how did you know?”

“I am also curious.” Rock Supreme opened his mouth to ask.

Li Ye, as a member of the Sharp Blade Force, carved through the Yunling Army, revealing his extremely terrifying control on the battlefield.

Naturally, his reputation is well-known, and no one would question his combat power.

Before the Immortal Palace, there were those brave enough to challenge Li Ye, now probably no one would… even some Sixth-sense Experts feel they can’t outperform him.

Yet, previously, Li Ye indeed wasn’t a prominent figure, yet the Hong Family could foresightfully befriended him.

“The Family Head already saw his exceptional nature, believing Night General Captain worthy of acquaintance.” Hong Family Dominator laughed and said, “We showed enough sincerity and goodwill, and naturally gained his friendship.”

“Hong Lan, that little girl, truly astute.” Giant Cauldron Dominator praised, “It’s a pity she’s not one of my juniors…”

“What difference would it make if she was your junior? Would your family dare grant authority to a girl in her twenties?” Supreme said, “With her vision and ability, becoming Family Head and leader is the only choice.”

“That’s true. Truly, the younger generation are formidable. The world belongs to them.” Giant Cauldron Dominator said.

“Give it a rest, you’re only fifty.” Rock Supreme laughed, “In my eyes, you’re still young yourself.”

But at the next moment, the complexion of Rock Supreme changed, and he suddenly looked towards the small house.

This startled the two Dominators, but they did not perceive any abnormal change.

“What’s wrong? Is an enemy approaching? Is ‘You Must Meet Strong Enemies’ so fierce?”

“This place is far from Black Prison, it wouldn’t be a Taboo Item out of control, could it be some criminals?”

The two Dominators scanned the surroundings, feeling a certain danger, but unclear of its source.

Rock Supreme then said, “It’s the Night General… something terrifying is surging on him. It’s opposing my spiritual energy…”

“Countering a Supreme’s spiritual energy?” The two Dominators’ expressions slightly changed.

Every time a Spiritual Ability User ascends, they refine their spiritual energy. The quality of the spiritual energy is strengthened with each ascension.

And when a Spiritual Ability User ascends to Dominator, the spiritual energy projection within the soul well can briefly descend upon the physical world. Significantly enhancing a Spiritual Ability User’s combat power.

Simultaneously, spiritual energy is further refined and transformed in quality.

Certain Forbidden Zones term it Divine Power, or… Divinity!

Once stepped into Supreme, one’s divinity intensifies and becomes stronger, even allowing spiritual energy, or ‘Divine Power’ to be imbued within.

Activating a powerful supreme stance. This is also Supreme’s most terrifying combat prowess.

Once in that stance, it indicates Supreme is exerting full power!

Now, as Supreme, Rock perceives a force against his divinity.

From the perspective of Forbidden Zones, isn’t this… against divinity?

And such a weapon against divinity has another name in Forbidden Zones….

Divine Calamity!

“How could it be?” The two Dominators’ faces changed, “Are you saying, Night General has taken out some kind of Supreme Weapon or King Weapon?”

“But his Solar Piercing Golden Arrow has already been lost to the river of time.”

“No.” Supreme said solemnly, “I’m saying, in this state, Night General…”

“Has transformed into a Divine Calamity, and an extremely strange Divine Calamity! The stronger my spiritual energy, the more intense his reaction!”

Supreme suddenly realized why the Amber King had him personally come, why Night General must stay within Giant City for experiments.

This special situation must not be known by outsiders.

But this confrontation against divinity… what is the cost?

A Five Senses Spiritual Ability User, no matter how extraordinary, cannot achieve this without any cost…

The thought hadn’t settled when Supreme saw the nearest cliff suddenly collapse.

And within the mountain, a long-sealed, unknown Taboo Item stirred, becoming… out of control!

Alright, they understood the cost…
