Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1022: Chapter 491

Almost instantly, the giant hand bone of the black skeleton fiercely gripped the mountain wall, leaving a massive scratch dozens of meters long on the mountainside before forcibly halting its charge.

At the same time, Duke Luoshan’s face showed an expression of disbelief, and all seven of his eyes revealed a look of shock.

In front of him was the Chaos Chosen of the Eternal Life Sect, wielding a two-handed giant sword and riding a giant beast, exuding intense hostility.

And the great power from Chaos was condensing. This Chosen… has entered Divine Favor!

Behind Duke Luoshan, the Human Champion unfurled enormous golden wings, the blood-colored cloak wildly fluttering in the wind, making a fierce noise.

His speed was incredibly fast; even sealed by Heavenly Attraction Town Kill, he still caught up with him.

The meeting between the Chaos Chosen and the Human Champion should have plunged into a fervent battle in an instant.

And Duke Luoshan was supposed to assist the Chaos Chosen. With the advantage of two against one, they hoped to defeat the Ninth Generation Champion. He did not even dare to hope to kill the Champion, feeling satisfied if he could merely force him to retreat.

But instead of fighting each other as expected, both sides fixed their gaze on Duke Luoshan.

The dialogue from the Eternal Chosen was extremely enthusiastic.

‘Brother, I’m here to help you.’

Brother? This was actually a very rare term of address, for the Chaos Chosen, arrogant as they were, looked down upon humans, Returning Souls, or powerhouses of other races.

They claimed to walk the Earth as Divine beings, seeing themselves as superior, so how could they call outsiders ‘brother’?

Especially for the Chosen of the Eternal Life Sect, believed to be the progeny of the Father of Plague, only Chosen could address each other as siblings.

Even as the ennobled Returning Duke, the opponent shouldn’t address him so warmly as ‘brother’.

What frightened Luoshan even more was that the one responding to the Chosen was the Human Champion.

Did the Human Champion also call the Chosen ‘brother’?

This directly dumbfounded Luoshan.

This was too absurd. Shouldn’t the Human Champion and Chaos Chosen be trying to beat each other’s brains out? How could they call each other ‘brother’?

Does this make sense?

But without giving Luoshan any time to think, the Human Champion and Chaos Chosen attacked him simultaneously.

From the perspective of ‘two against one’, Duke Luoshan’s prediction was not wrong—it was indeed two against one, but he was the one being ganged up on!

Li Ye descended from mid-air, stepping forward.

Mythical Mimicry·Qilin, Qilin Step, Space Shock!

Space fissures instantly spread from under Li Ye’s feet.

The whole world seemed to tear apart, countless rays bursting from the fissures.

The resulting shockwaves trampled everything around like a raging giant beast.

The buildings in the distance, teetering from the tremors, eventually collapsed with a thunderous crash, turning into heaps of rubble.

The ground was torn into massive gulches, eye-catching like scars on the Earth.

And as Duke Luoshan was directly hit by the space fissure, he let out an angry roar.

The disadvantage of his massive size became evident at that moment, as the power of the Space Shock was overwhelming but lacked precision. Li Ye could only control the general direction of the space fissure, so it was best to attack from close distance to avoid missing the target.

And the large-sized black skeleton negated this shortcoming, taking the full brunt of the Space Shock.

Various space fissures, large and small, tore at Luoshan’s body, seemingly intent on completely shattering him. The terrifying space vibrations almost shattered his strong bones.

‘Crunch’

‘Crunch’

His skeletal frame emitted faint cracking sounds, driving Duke Luoshan completely mad. This was the body he’d spent so many years nurturing back, and how could a mere Six Senses Champion destroy it?

The enormous skeleton clapped its gigantic hands together.

The torn ground quickly surged up, wrapping around the skeleton like flesh and blood, transforming it into a massive Stone Giant, absorbing some of the damage from the space fissures.

The Chaos Chosen from Eternal Life laughed aloud: “Brother, this move of yours is really powerful. Let me have some fun too!”

He raised his giant sword high. Strange green flames ignited on the great sword, forming a flame giant sword dozens of meters long.

In Divine Favor State, this move contained divine power, its potency undeniable.

Then, the giant sword slashed down, transforming into a terrifying Fire Phoenix, directly hitting the Stone Giant.

Path of Zero, Heavenly Fire!

The extreme heat blossomed, turning the stones on the Stone Giant into magma, making the area resemble a volcano eruption.

Countless streams of lava splattered, revealing the black skeleton within.

“Brother…this skeleton is interesting. It’s incredibly resilient, probably restored from Shattered Bones of a Supreme or even a King,” the Chaos Chosen commented: “Its bones contain divinity, with high bone strength. Quite tough to break through. Without flesh, my blessing has no effect on it.”

The blessing of Eternal Life, related to plagues and viruses, indeed had no effect on a skeleton without flesh.

“No problem, brother.” Li Ye chuckled softly: “I’ll break through the defense.”

“You’re something else, brother. So arrogant, I like it!” the Chaos Chosen laughed wickedly.

“What the hell! You’re chatting right now?”

Even Duke Luoshan, the once-glorious Returning Duke, cursed: “A Chosen teaming up with a Human Champion? Are you not ashamed in front of the Chaos Divine? And you, Champion, are you not ashamed before the Human Giant City, collaborating with Chaos?”

But Li Ye and the Chaos Chosen didn’t respond, instead launching another attack.
