Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 1020: Chapter 490: The Champion Arrives

The night was deep, the sky as dark as ink.

In this deep night, a tall figure stood in mid-air. The golden wings spread out, shining like a bright moon.

He wore a set of Ming Guang Armor, interwoven with black and gold. The armor reflected a cold light under the bright moonlight.

Behind him, a blood-colored cloak danced wildly in the wind, like a battle banner soaked in blood, fluttering with endless murderous intent and majesty.

The companions of the Black Robed Man, upon rushing out of the base, were met with this scene.

Inside the base, piercing alarm sounds rang out, signaling that other areas were under attack.

Yet, no one dared to move.

Even though the opponent was clearly just one person, he instilled fear into every one of them.

No one dared to be distracted in his presence.

In their trembling state, a strong individual uttered his title with a trembling voice.

“Human…Champion!”

The terrifying oppressive feeling brought by the cloak made them realize the presence they had to face.

This left them shocked and fearful, even with a sense of disbelief.

Why would it be the Human Champion?

They knew the Black Robed Man, Jindi, was dead, even Jindi’s Chang Ghost had been killed. The opponent’s forces were undoubtedly strong, possibly even official.

The opponent might have obtained some information from the Black Robed Man, thereby discovering their base.

But the Black Robed Man had merely gone out for human trafficking.

To handle traffickers, you could have deployed the Guard Hall! Or the City Defense Army! But why dispatch a Champion?

Do you use a Tsar Bomb to strike at traffickers?

Everyone felt baffled, while simultaneously cursing the already deceased Jindi furiously.

‘You went out for a transaction, how did you attract such an existence?’

‘I’ve never even seen a Human Champion, and you led one to our doors?’

‘Jindi, damn you! What did you do to attract a Champion?’

‘Damn it, even if you blew yourself up, don’t reveal the base’s location!’

It made everyone feel as if they were in a daze, as if all this was some surreal dream.

However, the sharp battle intent undoubtedly proclaimed the arrival of the Champion!

He is right here, right in front of them!

This left them terrified and fearful. The Human Champion’s renown was widespread.

Invincible in the same realm, battle records verified!

Lately, it was heard that the Chaos Power of a certain mysterious land was eradicated by the Champion. Even the Divine Chosen was slain, how could they not be afraid?

Moreover, it was said the Ninth Generation Champion had appeared.

This Champion in front, with a Spiritual Power Strength at the Sixth Sense peak, could he be the newly emerged Ninth Generation Champion?

But regardless of which Champion it was, they were not a presence they could provoke.

They racked their brains, yet never imagined they would encounter a Champion.

Meanwhile, Li Yelai hovered in mid-air, overlooking the valley below. With his arrival in this region, a multitude of related Memory Fragments were rapidly absorbed.

This force claimed the name ‘Yama’.

Possessing unique terrain, Corpse Nourishment Land, Ghostly Tears Mine. With special technology, Artificial Returnees. They could even mobilize Yin Soldiers.

Indeed, a formidable force.

Simultaneously, he also noticed a powerful existence awakening in the depths of the valley.

Li Yelai’s arrival, or rather, the arrival of a Champion, startled this powerful presence…

But it seemed it hadn’t restored to its peak state.

Indeed.

In ‘Zhu Ye’s’ experiences, it was several years later that it was tracked and discovered.

At that time, the Forbidden Zone Black Origin City had awakened, the Giant City was under immense pressure. ‘Zhu Ye’ had already become a Peak Dominator, leading Champion Team One, over fifty people, alongside a Border Iron Guard Corps, launching a surprise attack on this area, battling the powerful existence here.

It was a powerful but sealed Returnee, seemingly a result of battling with other Returnees.

And with the special terrain here, its power was gradually reviving, reaching an extremely terrifying degree—boasting battle power comparable to a Supreme!

Even at that period, ‘Zhu Ye’ took great efforts to suppress it and rescue the trafficked, including Pang Hui.

Now, Li Yelai came early, much earlier…that existence’s power hadn’t yet recovered to that level.

Currently, it was roughly at a Sixth Sense Peak… Though it inherently possessed a sliver of divinity, it could be considered a weak Overlord.

Just a weak Overlord, that’s good news!

Take advantage of it not being strong yet, to kill it early!

Otherwise, when it recovers to Supreme Strength, humankind would have to pay an even greater price.

Li Yelai overlooked the valley below, and a Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd appeared in his hand.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Spiritual Ability Users of the Yama Organization were filled with terror.

At this time, the alarm at their mine grew even more piercing.

The strong individuals guarding the minerals, seeing the oncoming Elite Night Patrol, let out a despairing and furious roar.

“Damn it, where are you people. Support! Are you deaf?”

They were dumbfounded; a group of powerful Spiritual Ability Users assaulted their mine, breaking through their defenses. In the face of such an unexpected attack, they suffered heavy losses.

Their organization was powerful, but the number of Spiritual Ability Users wasn’t large, they couldn’t withstand the Elite Night Patrol’s raid.

They died in anger and confusion, wondering why their companions inside the base didn’t come to support them.

However, the strong individuals within the base let out hopeless roars.

“Support my ass, I’m facing a Champion!”

Meanwhile, in a secret chamber deep within the base.

“Jindi, that bastard, truly attracted something remarkable.”

“But we’re not without the power to resist!” a high-ranking member of the Yama Organization shouted: “Eternal Life Church! Their base isn’t far from us! They’ve even had dealings with us. I will immediately request support from the Eternal Life Church! They would surely want to kill a Human Champion! It’s an opportunity!”
