Netherworld Retrograde

Behind every seemingly absurd accident, behind every coincidental death, there was always one or more Ghostly Shadow Clones striking in secret.

Their actions were silent and their energy fluctuations perfectly absorbed by the shadows, their forms blending seamlessly with the environment.

The bizarre casualties threw them into chaos, even scattering their troops at one point.

And when the three factions encountered each other amidst the confusion, further slaughter began again.

The three factions fought each other, while the Little Mad King's clones took advantage to further extend their killing spree. The chaotic battlefield gave her the greatest cover.

This is the power of the most formidable assassins in Giant City!

Even if they smashed each other's brains out, they wouldn't know of the Little Mad King's existence.

As the strength around them decreased, and even the Forbidden Zone Creatures began to fall, a sense of regret stirred in the hearts of the Desert Sea Nobles.

What a mistake... We should have waited for the other nobles to arrive... There's something wrong with this underground palace!

But things had reached such a point that they had already paid so much to delve into the underground palace and couldn't give up now.

The Serpent-man's legacy must be obtained. The lone Emperor's Fall must be killed!

The great casualties had already made them bloodthirsty. They continued to advance at full speed.

The Chaos Faction, on the other hand, was slaughtering the Merfolk's Servant Army while pursuing the Desert Sea troops ahead.

The three sides did not give up, each holding different philosophies.

"Seize the legacy, kill Emperor's Fall!"

"Protect Lord Di Yun, wipe out these heretics!"

"Kill them all! The legacy belongs to us!"

Thus, the entire underground palace became increasingly chaotic and intense. Numerous traps in the labyrinth were triggered, and the red-eyed three factions did not yield, willing to pierce each other even amidst the traps.

This made the Gray Robe Walker, who planned to hide and avoid the battle, quite troubled.

He originally intended to emerge and stop the three factions. Save their strength to deal with the impending humans from Giant City. To confront that Variable and Champion Team One!

Unfortunately, as the fourth faction, appearing under such circumstances could lead to being besieged.

Moreover, he vaguely felt that a dangerous presence was lurking within the shadows. What exactly was it?

"Damn it... Emperor's Fall must not get into trouble," thought the Gray Robe Walker.

Although Emperor's Fall appeared on the list by the twist of fate after the Book of Destiny was skewed. His presence was not part of the original plan.

But the Book Holder valued him greatly and invested in him. He is a top-tier powerhouse!

Moreover, his identity is special, and should anything happen to him, this collaboration might encounter some issues.

He rushed towards the depths of the underground palace, trying to quickly crack the maze and find Emperor's Fall to communicate.

Make them understand who their true enemy is!

...

Elsewhere, Li Yelai, wearing a conical hat and cloak, was sitting quietly in a stone chamber.

He could feel the entire underground palace was in turmoil, the battle fluctuations reaching even here.

"It's really lively, the fight is intense," Li Yelai marveled, "Such power!"

He was somewhat gloating because, due to his manipulation, the three human enemy factions were killing each other within the underground palace. This feeling… was incredibly satisfying!

Meanwhile, the Little Mad King's real body had already hidden within the shadows.

"The first batch is almost here," her voice whispered in Li Yelai's ear. Her clones brought the latest intel: "Only one walker is coming, and soon."

Li Yelai nodded, then picked up his long spear and stood.

...

A few seconds later, an explosion erupted from the distant tomb passage.

A large number of rocks fell but were turned to dust by the divine fury.

The next moment, the team from the Sea of Time burst out from the tomb passage.

By now, their combat units were almost exhausted, the chaotic battles and traps had scattered many of their men, leaving their fates unknown.

And the leading Desert Sea Noble immediately locked onto Li Yelai situated in the stone chamber.

At that moment, it was as if countless fires of rage were unleashed.

Finally... after sacrificing so many subordinates, triggering so many traps, battling with so many enemies.

Finally found you!

The furious roar containing divine wrath echoed throughout the underground palace!

"Emperor's Fall, I want your life!"

Within the maze of the underground palace, the Chaos Demon General's expression changed drastically, accelerating his speed.

Meanwhile, the Gray Robe Walker also had an unpleasant look: "Always causing trouble! Damn Variable! If not for you..."

At the same time, without a moment's hesitation, the Desert Sea Noble Overlord decisively used a Secret Treasure.

God Prisoning Lock!

An ancient black stone chain roared out from his sleeve, entangling towards Li Yelai like a thunderbolt.

It was a Secret Treasure from the Sea of Time, technology developed by their civilization's predecessors to combat Gods.

It had impressive efficacy against divinity; the stronger the target's divinity, the stronger the binding force.

Simultaneously, he used his own ability: Divine Punishment Words!

As his voice spread, a massive guillotine emerged in the void, its enormous blade seeming to want to cleave mountains!

However, at that moment, Li Yelai, maintaining the Deceitful God's Chosen Mask, let out a mocking laugh.

With the deceitful blessing, he easily saw through the effect of the God Prisoning Lock, a rare Secret Treasure targeting divine beings. Although not as potent as the Divine Calamity, it could suppress divine beings. It's a precious Secret Treasure, indicating that this guy holds some status in the Sea of Time.

Yet, Li Yelai, with a Sixth Sense, has no divinity. What is there to suppress?

And this Divine Punishment Words, a powerful spiritual attack effect.

Through language, directly creates various mental domain attacks.

Coincidentally, Li Yelai was a Jile Divine Chosen!

So in that moment, Li Yelai activated the Jile Chosen Face.

At the same time, golden light glittered in his eyes. Mimicry·Divine Hidden Dragon Soul!

Golden ripples emerged, and a gigantic golden long spear protruded, directly stabbing toward the guillotine.

The long spear clashed with the descending blade, creating intense spiritual ripples, leaving the other Forbidden Zone Creatures momentarily dazed.

And the God Prisoning Lock entwining towards Li Yelai was seized by him.

Then, with a forceful tug.

The Desert Sea Noble at the other end of the chain was abruptly pulled.

'His strength is this great? His spiritual attack can rival mine?'

'That's not right, why does he bear the aura of Jile and Deceit Dao when he's leading the Blood God and Eternal Life Army?'

'The God Prisoning Lock's suppression is ineffective? That's right, he's a Sixth Sense! Damn it, he doesn't even have divinity! Let anger cloud my judgment!'

The Desert Sea Noble was inwardly astonished, but not panicked.

As an Overlord, he had such confidence!

As a Chaos Chosen, not entering Divine Favor to duel with me may be a bit arrogant!

Do you think you're a Champion?

Thus, he decisively used this pulling force, instead of retreating, advancing straight towards Li Yelai.

At the same time, his lips parted, the ancient language urging immense power, a series of killing moves were about to launch.

A long saber appeared in his hand, the intense divinity roared to life!

As an Overlord, crushing a Sixth Sense, wasn't it as easy as turning a hand?

And then...

He heard a deathly tolling bell.

It was a warning, a scream, a proclamation... proclaiming his death's arrival!

But it all happened so fast, so fast he could only manage a sidelong glance.

The killing intent from the shadows erupted, and the Little Mad King emerged from the shadow cast.

Her two-handed greatsword, entwined with silent black flames, descended!

The scene seemed to pass in a flash, as if everything seen just now was an illusion... yet the Desert Sea Overlord could clearly feel his life force vanish while his body continued to rush towards Li Yelai.

The next moment, an angered shout echoed: "Stop, spare him!"

The Desert Sea Overlord tried desperately to speak, but his brain was pierced through by Li Yelai's long spear.

When the headless corpse fell to the ground, the other Desert Sea warriors snapped out of their daze, looking at their fallen comrade, plunged into a deathly silence.

They couldn't comprehend how a mighty Overlord could be killed so swiftly?

And the approaching Gray Robe Walker had a grim expression watching this scene.

"Emperor's Fall! What exactly are you doing?"
