Netherworld Retrograde

"Teammates..." Little Mad King was somewhat surprised, even shocked.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Li Yelai shouted in grief and indignation.

Multiple traps triggered consecutively, causing no harm yet to the two, but making Li Yelai break down first.

He hadn't activated his Face Mask or triggered Calamity, yet encountered such misfortune?

Indeed, Li Yelai was always disconnected from the word 'luck', and finding 'try another bottle' in his lifetime was a fantasy. But at least without triggering Calamity, he wouldn't have encountered such disaster!

There's a problem, a big problem! It must be malice from some entity!

If he'd known, he would've cooperated with those Forbidden Zone Nobles, led them to the relics, triggered traps like crazy, and see whose life would prevail!

Let them die without knowing how they died!

Complaining inwardly, Li Yelai and Little Mad King used Aerial Stepping to quickly create distance.

The battle wagon was massive, like a small mountain, with deadly multi-group rapidly rotating sawteeth at its front!

They not only stirred a Spiritual Storm but also created a horrifying negative pressure vortex during high-speed cutting!

A powerful, unreasonable pulling force mixed with chaotic spiritual energy siphoning, similar to countless invisible giant hands, rudely tearing everything within range! Fragments of rock, fallen trees, and even swirling smoke were uncontrollably swallowed and shredded by the vortex of death!

It's a troublesome thing, but... it can't fly!

Against Spiritual Ability Users, no matter how strong this ground combat unit's output is, it can't hit them.

"If it's a combination trap..." Little Mad King held back Li Yelai as he rose.

And in the next moment, the distant stone statue's eyes flashed red.

Simultaneously, Li Yelai distinctly felt a slight change in his Aerial Stepping.

Aerial Stepping is a technique that further develops the Spiritual Barrier.

It's equivalent to using the Spiritual Barrier as a pedal, allowing Spiritual Ability Users to hover for extended periods.

Yet at this moment, the originally sturdy and reliable spiritual energy pedal mysteriously softened and dissolved upon forming, not only failing to provide enough counterforce, but rather producing a downward viscous pulling force. As if stepping into a sticky swamp.

"Anti-flight technology?" Li Yelai was somewhat surprised, truly underestimating the level of this Snake-man relic.

Interfering with spiritual energy to achieve an anti-flight effect, then using long-range attacks to force the target back to the ground, directly facing that battle wagon?

Not to mention, this anti-flight technology is worth researching. In the future, Giant City could use one, letting the Spiritual Power Army from the Forbidden Zone experience the steel torrent of Giant City!

With thoughts racing, golden wings spread out behind Li Yelai.

Aerial Stepping was interfered with, but Li Yelai's Kunpeng's Wings couldn't be affected, nor Little Mad King's divinity.

Perhaps due to the era being too long ago, the anti-flight effect weakened.

Or it never considered opposing those with divinity?

Of course, now is not the time for deep investigation. Rather than retreating and triggering more traps.

Li Yelai chose to directly eliminate the threat. It's just right to investigate these sudden traps and technology and the secrets they guard.

"Teammate, take it down!"

"Alright."

Thus, Li Yelai advanced rather than retreating, golden wings flapping behind him, and the Breaking Army Mountain Shifting Halberd appeared in his hand, diving down towards the battle wagon!

As if sensing the target approaching head-on, the battle wagon's speed increased again, meeting Li Yelai with an overwhelming momentum.

Li Yelai's long spear danced, stabbing directly, driving straight towards the battle wagon.

Single-handed Eighteen Pokes·Rhino Attack!

Instantly, the long spear struck the rapidly spinning saw blade, an ear-piercing metallic twisting sound and a violent spiritual energy explosion reverberated and exploded like a tangible shockwave! A visually discernible ring-shaped airburst spread madly from the collision point, instantly clearing the ground of stone fragments and dust!

At the collision's center, the long spear curved into a semicircular arc. And the entire battle wagon, as if struck by a giant hammer, paused its charging momentum, with the saw blade appearing momentarily delayed.

With a single spear, he halted the battle wagon's full-speed charge, but this wasn't the end!

Li Yelai twisted the long spear, muscles bulging, the rotating spear ear tightly gripped the saw blade.

Then, he swirled and threw!

Single-handed Eighteen Strokes·Dragon Raising Head!

At that moment, the massive battle wagon left the ground, drawing a heavy and desperate arc through the air, with its futilely spinning sawteeth and the internal, death-like mechanical screeching.

Before it hit the ground, Little Mad King had already acted.

She swung the Two-Handed Greatsword, black flames flared from the sword's blade, silently slicing through the battle wagon.

The flames emitted no heat. Yet upon contact, like a hot knife cutting through butter, they melted through the battle wagon's robust armor.

Nearly halved at landing, the battle wagon instantly disassembled. Fractured into eight sections, or perhaps more...

"Such dazzling ability..." Li Yelai watched the Little Mad King wielding the Black Flame Greatsword, marveling.

It was an Overlord Weapon crafted for Little Mad King by Master Mo Hai.

Its mysterious material came from the Path of Zero's Heavenly Fire·Hunting Black Flame.

Heavenly Fire, akin to Starfire, is one of the top-level output abilities of Spiritual Energy Users manipulating fire elements.

The radiant and scorching flames will consume everything, even igniting the Spiritual Barrier.

While Hunting Black Flame is its variant.

More elusive and tough to handle, with extremely powerful output capabilities, perfectly aligning with Little Mad King's tactics.

If used on enemies, and Shadow Bright Sword is triggered, it's a one-hit-one-kill...

After handling the troublesome battle wagon, the two freed themselves to quickly neutralize other traps.

"These traps aren't really dangerous, almost ineffective against Divine Beings." Little Mad King evaluated them fairly after inspecting the traps.

Most of the traps couldn't breach Li Yelai's Spiritual Barrier.

The most threatening was the battle wagon.

Perhaps these traps were meant to force targets to face the battle wagon.

"If mass-produced, they'd be good for handling the legion." Li Yelai responded, dismantling the stone statue's eyes.

These were the culprits of hindering their Spiritual Barriers and unfolding the anti-flight domain.

Two red crystals the size of basins.

Inscribed with peculiar ancient cryptic texts.

Li Yelai hesitated, contemplating whether to activate his Deceitful Face Mask to directly understand these texts.

At that moment, Little Mad King's voice came.

"Teammate, come have a look." Little Mad King's voice echoed.

She was crouched near a far-off altar.

Li Yelai approached, and saw within the altar....

Filled with bones, and among them, many human bones...

This Land of Opportunity had human presence, at least there had been!
