Netherworld Retrograde

Upon entering the Land of Opportunity, they were transported to the snake people's ancestral tomb filled with deadly traps.

It was unclear if this was luck or calamity.

Perhaps, it was both.

However, Li Yelai believed that it was mostly luck; otherwise, how could he have received the final wishes of his comrades, carved with blood and tears, across the river of time?

After igniting the bones on the altar, Li Yelai and Little Mad King began searching for the entrance to this snake people's tomb.

This wasn't difficult for Li Yelai now.

After unlocking the Deceitful God's Chosen Mask, he could see through the mysterious array of the grand tomb at a glance. The areas with the most dense traps were its crucial cores.

It was larger than expected, and the position of the two was merely the ground area of the tomb's underground palace.

Li Yelai's expression was indifferent; from the inscribed texts, he learned that the snake-man civilization had captured 'alien races' including humans, using them as slaves or food. To construct this underground palace, the snake-men slaughtered countless humans for their blood and bones.

Now, the snake-man civilization had declined. And the Human Champion, in the river of time, answered his comrades' regrets!

This overwhelming blood debt was to be repaid by Li Yelai!

"If the snake-man civilization still exists, our movements should attract them. At the same time, my curse that You Must Meet Strong Enemies will lead these enemies to us..." Looking at the entrance to the underground palace, Li Yelai mused, "This might be a good opportunity to annihilate them."

Li Yelai's curse wasn't just about meeting strong enemies; with the backing of calamity, after entering the underground palace, he would undoubtedly trigger more traps. Thus, this was an opportunity!

However, the complex and dark environment of the underground palace was also Little Mad King's advantageous battlefield!

She could silently eliminate enemies, rapidly reducing enemy numbers in the chaos.

Who would have thought that within the suddenly triggered traps, there lurked a top-notch assassin?

Thus, after chiseling open the underground palace doors, Li Yelai wielded his spear, leaving striking words on the relic.

On top of the words, the chaotic aura was suffused, sufficient to prove his identity.

Afterward, Li Yelai and Little Mad King entered the underground palace. Little Mad King's figure flickered, leaving a Ghostly Shadow Clone in the shadow at the palace entrance.

Within the underground palace were maze-like burial corridors and numerous traps.

In those narrow burial corridors, the previously shattered type of chainsaw war chariot would explode with extraordinary destructive power. And compared to the traps on the ground, the traps in the underground palace were more refined and lethal.

There were even some mobile and attacking guardian stone statues.

They were statues with snake heads and lion bodies; when a target stepped into their alert range, they would launch a frenzied attack.

Swinging a large sword, spewing toxins or flames, they could even emit spiritual energy lightning.

Until the enemy was eliminated or retreated a sufficient distance away.

Even if Li Yelai activated the Deceitful Mask, he could perceive the presence of spiritual energy traps.

Yet along the way, he still triggered several stone statues and other traps.

No way, even the Deceitful God's Chosen can't guarantee. When taking a step or performing another action, what chain reaction might occur.

Even the Deceitful God's Chosen must suffer under calamity... Even this, the Master of Transformation had the audacity, claiming suppression of the curse during corruption, was truly full of lies.

And when Li Yelai and Little Mad King destroyed the stone statues, they saw inside them clusters of cracked snake eggs and snake-man flesh and bones that had grown deformed inside the statues. They were almost fused with the stone statues, developing corresponding toxin sacs, fire-spewing organs, or electricity-generating organs within the statues.

"Using even their own kind as mechanisms?" Li Yelai sneered at this.

The blessing of deceit revealed some of their techniques to him.

Specially modified snake eggs directly hatched inside the statues and grew in the designated space within, developing various special organs, thus granting the statues spiritual energy attack effects. Truly conniving!

Using their own kind as tomb-guarding material, no wonder they were defeated by humans.

Then, after venturing deeper into the underground palace, Li Yelai found a relatively safe area.

Or rather, after triggering multiple traps, the area was safe without triggerable traps.

As long as all triggerable traps were triggered, this naturally became a safe zone.

"This distance should be enough..."

Li Yelai said, "You Must Meet Strong Enemies will lead them step by step to me... The premise is to get through those traps!"

This was Li Yelai's strategy; the impressiveness of You Must Meet Strong Enemies. Strong foes would be guided by various 'accidents' or subjective factors to Li Yelai's presence.

They might suddenly perceive a shortcut hidden in a path.

They might 'accidentally' trigger a trap and be pushed by explosions or traps into this path, thus 'just happening' to find Li Yelai.

When innumerable coincidences and inevitabilities intertwine, like invisible threads of fate, leading, forcing, alluring them, step by step through perilous regions to Li Yelai's front! That is You Must Meet Strong Enemies!

"Come, pass through the battlefield I've chosen, cross those dangerous traps, at any cost, come before me!" Li Yelai slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, the power of the Deceitful God's Chosen allowing him to briefly modify probability.

What he needed to do, naturally, was... max out the trap trigger probability!

Little Mad King concealed her clone within the shadows along the way. Ready to secretly assassinate the enemies traversing the underground palace.
