Netherworld Retrograde

Facing Li Ye, who seemed like a nemesis, Duke Yu Huo felt a renewed sense of despair and frustration.

With the swift suppression of Kunpeng, the evil-breaking might of Qilin, and the crushing force of fierce strikes...

This left Duke Yu Huo only able to defend, even though the opponent lacked divinity, it was still with higher stats, forcing him repeatedly to a dead end.

He couldn't understand why this human could possess two Mythical Mimics?

Nor could he understand why their ability was so unique.

Watching the flickering golden lights fill the sky, one after another Divine Hidden Weapons roared out. Like a meteor shower, they whistled down.

"Are they sharpening their knives on me?"

Feeling Li Ye's battle rhythm becoming more and more perfect, Duke Yu Huo was extremely furious but dared not confront it head-on; his sharp inspiration sensed how tricky these spiritual attacks were.

He could only flee desperately, blocking as much as possible.

Spinal Bone Greatsword swung wildly, smashing and sending flying the Divine Hidden Weapons.

However, when he dodged one ambush, he felt the physical world outside the ghost realm, thunder raging.

Can summon Thunder too? If it weren't inside the ghost realm, Heaven's Thunder would've already roared!

This is really diverse! Is this the Ninth Champion?

Facing Li Ye, the bizarre and powerful skill combination left him with a helpless despair. These tactics were too perfect...

"A tiger fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs..."

Duke Yu Huo let out a heavy sigh filled with endless frustration and unwillingness.

Break!

Break again!

It must be said, having once escaped from a fragmented ghost realm, Duke Yu Huo became exceptionally decisive in cutting his core ghost realm the second time.

Instead of risking his life in this ghost realm fragment fighting this bizarre Ninth Generation Champion,

better to cut away some 'flesh'.

Trying to preserve the last Flame to rise again!

Since he had already fled disgracefully once, why not flee again?

As long as he can stay alive!

Crunch!

This already shattered and worn ghost realm space, under Duke Yu Huo's frantic will, released a second unbearable whimper as if a glass mirror being smashed by a Heavy Hammer!

The space structure was more roughly torn, ripped apart!

The violent space rift, like a greedy giant mouth, instantly devoured vast areas, forcibly creating an absolute chasm filled with annihilation storms between Li Ye's fatal spear glow and Yu Huo's remaining soul!

The price also arrived in an instant!

Duke Yu Huo's body convulsed violently, that pale ghostly fire dimmed drastically like a candle in the wind!

The already weary divinity strength due to the first cut collapsed again like its backbone being removed.

From barely maintained peak Overlord Realm, it fell irretrievably hard.

Finally, barely stayed at the level of Initial Dominator.

Not even much stronger than some marquises under its command.

Mirror shattered, space redistributes!

Yu Huo, wrapped in one last dim white flame, like a dried leaf swept away by a hurricane, recklessly plunged into the depths of the newly born, more violent chaotic space currents, arriving at a new space fragment.

Even though he was prepared, he still felt heart-wrenching pain. Different from the Spiritual Ability User's advancement, a Returning Soul wants to upgrade by building a larger core ghost realm, time and effort far exceeding the speed of human advancement.

He could only remind himself that as long as there are the Shadow Soldier Marshal and legion support, he can return to the peak.

But when the chaotic ghost realm became clear again, he heard a nightmarish voice.

"We really have a destiny, meeting again." Li Ye spread his gilded wings, overlooking Duke Yu Huo from high above.

It's him again?

Why?

Clearly, separation was done? Why!

I paid so much price, all for what?

Duke Yu Huo screamed in madness, deciding to further split the ghost realm, never to stop.

Now his level has fallen to Initial Dominator. Previously, facing Li Ye was so strenuous at Peak Dominator, now there's no chance of winning. Not even of being instantly killed!

Thus, without confrontation, without words. No hesitation.

Break!

The calming ghost realm was split again!

His level drastically fell again, spiritual energy strength not even comparing to a Marquis, already dropped to Sixth Sense. Only a thread of divinity maintains, making him slightly stronger than regular Sixth Sense.

Pain, confusion, frustration.

He held a banquet inviting numerous Nobles, and right in the core ghost realm, he was stabbed and executed by the Champion.

Fell from Supreme to Sixth Sense, with strength reduced to nearly nothing.

Hate, resentment!

Yet, as the split ghost realm calmed, he still saw that figure. Can't escape, truly can't!

"Why!" Duke Yu Guang's eyes widened, blood tears streaming down.

While Li Ye once again raised the long spear: "Fate brings us together across a thousand miles! Eh? How did you become so weak, it's fine, let's battle at the same level!"

"Battle your head!" Duke Yu Guang's blood tears surged, who would battle a Champion at the same level?

"Break!"

At this moment, he no longer fancied a comeback but sought to escape this bizarre Champion!

...

In the fragmented space, the shadowy figure confirmed the curse upon Li Ye.

Dragon and Tiger!

Upon triggering, sure to meet powerful enemies until no more strong enemies remain within the range. This is a Causality Level dangerous curse!

But why, is it this curse? Variable's curse shouldn't it be Heavenly Slaughter Star?

What force caused his curse to change, is it because of this curse he became a variable?

As for Duke Yu Huo's encounter, the shadowy figure didn't care much.

If Yu Huo can hold until the Yin Soldiers Legion arrives, he may not lose to humans. Even if defeated, he can preserve a sufficient foundation.

But he chose to split his ghost realm, weakening his combat power, seeking his own death for survival.

Captured by the Ninth Champion's curse, escape is now impossible.

Unless a stronger enemy appears than him. And he has fallen to Fifth Sense, still falling... even escaped, there's no chance of resurgence.

Perhaps some manipulation can turn it into an opportunity for certain humans? Those Yin Soldiers Legions are indeed good opportunities.

So thought the shadow figure, the silhouette wavered, about to leave.

He had collected enough information about variables, it was time to go.

However, as Duke Yu Huo split the ghost realm repeatedly, the entire space fragmented directly.

The desperate Duke Yu Huo abandoned all foundation outright! He spared no effort to survive!

This caused the shadowy figure's movement to depart to freeze abruptly.

Because, in front of 'him'.

A figure wielding a long spear approached, the Champion Cloak fluttered without wind.

You Must Meet Strong Enemies, Dragon and Tiger!

When the Duke is completely no longer a threat, it was 'he' who appeared before Li Ye.
