Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1105: Chapter 540

As Li Yelai galloped forward, the blood-red cloak behind him flapped fiercely.

It resembled a battle banner waving, and seemed like a war song sounding. It was a rallying beacon, as well as the horn of war!

It’s humanity’s declaration of war against Calamity!

And in response to the Champion’s call, came the most resolute battle cry from the human strongmen!

“For Giant City, for Humanity!”

The waves of sound were like tides, making even the Void Realm tremble.

Over three thousand human warriors moved in unison.

Spiritual Energy surged, iron hooves struck the ground, war chariots roared. Following the Champion, they advanced into Disaster Fog No. 49!

The over three thousand soldiers displayed the momentum of tens of thousands of troops, like a sharp dagger piercing the enemy’s ranks, stabbing into the disaster fog!

Even as their silhouettes disappeared into the disaster fog, the overwhelming feeling left everyone unable to return to their senses for a long time.

After quite some time, the Green and Red Supreme sighed and spoke: “If the City Lord and Council knew you agreed to this plan, they’d probably be furious. Not only did you throw in Ba Shu Mountain City’s last batch of elite and the Mountain City Guard Army, but you also dragged Human Champion and Champion Team One into the fray. Even if it’s you, they’d go berserk confronting you.”

The King is the highest combat force on behalf of Giant City, as well as the supreme leader.

And the City Lord and the Council are the think tanks deciding Giant City’s strategy.

From a rational standpoint, this plan should never have been approved.

Even if it was their Giant City being devoured, even if they themselves were swallowed up.

They wouldn’t gamble more human elites, or even Human Champions, on such a small chance.

In their view, it’s an unfavorable choice for humanity.

“I’ll wait for their criticisms when they return from inside the disaster fog…”

The Sword Edge King chuckled, then looked toward the Forbidden Zone: “The Ninth Champion brought us the Taboo Item Mixed Element Banner. If Disaster Fog No. 49 begins to move, use the Mixed Element Banner to seal it. Without the high walls, this is one of the few ways to limit the disaster fog.”

After hesitating for a moment, Green and Red Supreme asked: “What if it fails…”

“Then on the Netherworld path, they won’t be alone…” The Sword Edge King looked at Demon Abyss Mountain, his usually restrained sharpness now showing a terrifying intensity.

“I’ll accompany them, and make more Forbidden Zone Creatures bury them!”

“How could only humans travel this Netherworld path?”

“The Forbidden Zone must pay the price!”

The Sword Edge King will let Demon Abyss Mountain know how mad and ruthless a king who has lost all his weaknesses can be!

You destroy my Giant City, kill my people, then prepare to face that Corpse Mountain Blood Sea!

…

On another front, Li Yelai and Champion Team One charged into the disaster fog as the vanguard.

The moment the disaster fog enveloped their bodies, Li Yelai immediately sensed an obvious feeling of spatial pull.

It was somewhat similar to the sensations experienced during teleportation into the ark, albeit not as intense.

Simultaneously, the surrounding mist grew thicker, and the sounds behind them became ethereal and vague.

Even though they were clearly not far from him, their silhouettes were shrouded by the dense fog, gradually moving farther away.

In a trance, it seemed like figures were being pulled into another space, while others descended into a bizarre space.

This disaster fog indeed possesses adequate intelligence, or perhaps the horror demons within it are sufficiently wise and have begun counterattacking? Is it trying to divide the team?

Is it the ability of a particular horror demon, or has some Taboo Item been activated?

“Space Distortion detected!”

“Suspected Forbidden Zone Taboo Item from Demon Abyss Mountain, Abyss Dark Side!”

“Proceed as planned, advance in formation!”

“Prioritize reuniting with our compatriots inside the disaster fog!”

The Ye Boshous felt a weight in their hearts, though not surprised.

They had considered many tactics against the disaster fog, naturally including whether Demon Abyss Mountain had reinforced Disaster Fog No. 49.

And concerning Demon Abyss Mountain, humanity has done some research on known Taboo Items.

Currently, this spatial pull effect is the work of Demon Abyss Mountain’s Taboo Item, Abyss Dark Side, also known as Dark Side Triple Heaven.

It’s a miraculous spatial technique that expands the world corresponding to the Physical World, turning it into three parts, and tosses the life within into three spaces. It’s like three worlds superimposing on each other, yet in reality, it’s isolating the Physical World into three segments.

If one considers the Physical World as a piece of paper, then this Taboo Item folds the paper twice. To travel to other worlds, one must pass through certain ‘points’.

Rumor has it that Demon Abyss Mountain’s civilization once used this Taboo Item to evade invasions from other civilizations, as their reliable defense measure.

Now, this Taboo Item has been deployed as a weapon within the disaster fog.

Such sinister intentions, the populace inside the disaster fog needs the protective force from humanity. And this spatial division will scatter the deployment of human forces. Inside this disaster fog filled with horror demons, it’s extremely dangerous.

When Li Yelai rushed out of the thick fog, the numbers behind him significantly diminished.

The original force of over three thousand has now reduced to less than a hundred beside Li Yelai. Among them, there are Ba Shu Guards, along with Spiritual Ability Users. Following closely beside Li Yelai, Champion Team One is now more than halved. Fuyun, Gu Yue, and other Captain Level forces are nowhere to be found.

Conversely, Long Lie, who was further away from Li Yelai, remained.

“Have they been allocated to other spaces? Is it random dispersion or intentional by some horror demon?” Long Lie asked cautiously, observing the surroundings.

Cheese also scanned the area: “Regardless of what it is, they have truly separated us.”

“Indeed, we need to prioritize resolving this Taboo Item. Methods dividing the battlefield are highly unfavorable to humans.” Li Yelai responded.

The surrounding environment was extremely bizarre and quiet.

Between the skyscrapers emerged jagged mountain rocks, and even skyscrapers tilted against some pitch-black mountains.
