Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1137: Chapter 555: The Plan Changes—Prepare for Decapitation!

Li Ye switched Faces again, Blood Prison Demon Suppression and… Jile Chosen Face!

Under the heavy pressure, a large number of Insect Swarms and Beastmen let out cries of pain.

Jile Chosen’s ‘Trace of Extreme Joy’ will amplify all attacks that induce pain, making the attacked feel even more agony!

And ‘Scream of Joy’ can draw pleasure from it, thereby gaining more Spiritual Energy.

With just this pressure, Li Ye’s Spiritual Energy instantly recovered by twenty percent and continued to grow as the number of Terror Demons increased.

This plunged the on-site Terror Demons into the deepest despair.

They could clearly feel that Li Ye’s previously waning Spiritual Energy Fluctuations had become strong once again.

What kind of hellish scene is this?

Several Leader-Level Terror Demons were deployed, in addition to a Chaos Chosen, Insect Swarm Tyrant, and even a Beastman Big Guy. Plus, a massive number of Beastmen and Insect Swarm troops.

It was hard enough to deplete the enemy’s Spiritual Energy, but suddenly it was replenished again!

Is this kind of enemy really beatable?

No matter how brave the Beastman lads were, no matter how war-fanatic their brains were, at this moment they also developed the idea of retreating.

They must retreat, they must fall back, and then gather more Beastmen, choosing a stronger Big Guy to face such a formidable enemy! Only then can they continue to ‘waaaaa’ with full force.

However, their ideas cannot be conveyed to the rear, and the Insect Swarm is still pouring out of the rift.

This undoubtedly blocked their thoughts of escaping.

This was a communication loophole among the Terror Demons.

Within the Disaster Fog, there indeed was a consciousness, or rather a force, that connected the various powerful Terror Demons and allowed them to cooperate. This put humans at a disadvantage in the face of united Terror Demons.

But they cannot, like the Insect Swarm’s will, control every Terror Demon as if their limbs.

They can normally contact Leader-Level Terror Demons for cooperation, but during such intense battle fluctuations, they can’t get accurate information.

Moreover, the leaders on the scene were already dead, and the information could not be spread to the rear.

When the Insect Master Tyrant, who was connected to the Insect Swarm’s consciousness, also fell, even the Insect Master was in the dark about the situation on the frontline.

It merely stubbornly wanted to retrieve the Tyrant’s corpse and reclaim that biomass.

Thus the Swarm continued endlessly, waiting for a Commander Bug or Tyrant connected to the Swarm’s will to appear so that the Insect Master could understand the situation here.

And this gap gave Li Ye the best opportunity!

Like using spatial channels, huh? Still opening a channel for mass troops, huh?

Looking at the rift continuously spewing out Insect Swarms, Li Ye didn’t know if it was due to the Jile Chosen Face, but he revealed a joyous smile.

His initial goal was to help the Little Mad King ascend to Overlord, and incidentally slay any Leader-Level Overlords that got lured over, effectively draining the Terror Demons’ power.

This opportunity was mostly successful, eliminating many dangerous Terror Demons, thus reducing the pressure on other human strongmen.

Now, the Little Mad King has become an Overlord, and Li Ye’s objective has been achieved, yet the space rift hasn’t disappeared.

I didn’t rush into the rift earlier because the Little Mad King was advancing, and I needed to stay here to protect her.

Now that the Little Mad King’s ascension succeeded, and you still keep the rift open, well, that’s impolite.

Hee hee hee…

Meanwhile, Zhu Ye and Dawn also clearly noticed this flaw.

Apparently, they both noticed Li Ye’s intentions.

“A bit mad, but doable!” Dawn laughed, “Take out the Mobius Ring and revisit your glorious feats from back in the day!”

Zhu Ye nodded silently, indicating agreement.

After all, the three were Li Ye from different timelines, perhaps different in personality, but they understood each other’s train of thought and ideas.

“I’ll guard your back, teammate,” said the Little Mad King.

So a wave of Spiritual Energy spread through the Void Realm at a special frequency. The fluctuations were not strong and spread a short distance in the Physical World, only making the nearby Champion Team One aware.

This caused Cheese and others in the gradually ending battle at Defense Line Three to frown.

That was Champion Team One’s Void Realm code; most of humanity’s communication means in the Disaster Fog had already failed.

Therefore, human Spiritual Ability Users often chose to converse in the Void Realm.

To prevent other Spiritual Ability Units from intercepting communications, each team designed its own unique codes. Even if the enemy overheard, they wouldn’t know what was being said.

This time, the code meant…

‘The plan has changed, prepare for decapitation!’

…

On the other side, Zhu Ye unleashed Dragon Breath once again.

This time, he did not hold back. Instead, he bellowed out raging Dragon Breath towards the entire Shelter Hall, setting the entire battlefield ablaze.

A large number of Terror Demon corpses were burned; the biomass the Insect Swarm craved was incinerated, and spores from Beastman bodies were also burned to death.

This furthered the already fragmented Shelter Hall into a more violent collapse.

The next instant, Zhu Ye’s Dragon Breath was aimed at the space rift, turning the yet-to-emerge Insect Swarm into ashes.

In the pathway of the rift, the Insect Swarm that had originally been surging paused for a moment.

But more Swarm poured in from the rear of the rift, pushing forward.

Tyrants and Forbidden Army Insects, these high-level Insect Races, were naturally precious, but this kind of ordinary Insect Race was meant to deplete the enemy’s ammunition and Spiritual Energy, so they wouldn’t fear sacrifice. As long as their corpses were reclaimed, the Insect Master could create a stronger Swarm.

However, as the Swarm moved forward again, they heard the whooshing of a violent wind and faintly, the sound of hooves.

Hooves? Cavalry?

In the next moment, the forefront of the Swarm saw a Meteor crashing in from a distance into the rift!

…

On the other side of the rift, over a hundred meters underground, excavated by the Abyss Worm, in a space carved out underground.

A large number of the Swarm continued to gather, with several Commander Bugs once controlling the actions of these Swarm.

Now, the Swarm had already committed considerable forces.

They even lost a Swarm Tyrant, the entire Swarm could feel the Insect Master’s heartache.

But such losses would not be wasted in vain.

With so many Leader-Level Terror Demons participating, added to the Swarm’s siege, even an indomitable Human Champion of the same rank would be drained of their Spiritual Energy, eventually perishing from exhaustion.

This was also the Swarm’s usual tactic against human strongmen, using terrifying numbers to wear down strongmen.

Of course, if biomass were plentiful, the Insect Master would also create a Swarm Tyrant and a Swarm War God, these high combat power Insect Races, to go for solo battles or decapitations. Saving energy.

Having already invested so much sunk cost, the Insect Master naturally wouldn’t want to give up.

According to the Insect Master’s calculations, as long as they killed the Human Champion, reclaimed the Swarm Tyrant, and conveniently devoured the corpses on the battlefield, she should make a decent biomass profit.

Within the Disaster Fog, there are many Terror Demons, even such damnable Terror Demons like the Beastman.

Biomass must be calculated meticulously.

It’s hateful, if not for encountering that Champion Terror Demon, which devoured many Swarm.

The Insect Master might dispatch a second Swarm Tyrant or directly create a Swarm War God for a head-on duel with the Ninth Champion.

The Commander Bugs pondered in their minds.

With a large number of War Worms and Hunting Insects in place, they were also preparing to deploy into the battlefield, to complete the planned conclusion.

However, suddenly a commotion erupted within the rift, the Swarm seemed to be threatened by something, causing chaos to ensue.

One Commander Bug immediately leaped down from a high point, ordering the Swarm to continue moving forward.

However, the next second, it saw a Meteor flashing through the rift channel, crushing all Swarms in its path.

In the next instant, like a war spear, it pierced through all the Swarms within the rift channel, burst out of the space rift, and directly impaled the War Worms attempting to crawl into the space rift, along with nearby War Worms being blasted away by the dreadful impact.

Countless meat sludge, carapaces, and mud flew.

The Commander Bug stared in fright, its compound eyes widening, clearly unable to comprehend what was happening in front of it.

Then a long spear swept out from the muddy haze, chopping off the Commander Bug’s head.

“Still watching? It’s collection time!” Li Ye laughed, “Insect Master, here I damn come!”
