Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 843: Chapter 394: The Price

Rock Supreme gazed at the bizarre sight in the distance, momentarily shocked.

Could it be… a Taboo Item that had never been discovered was just sleeping nearby? And it just happened to awaken at this moment?

If it weren’t for the presence of the Supreme and the Overlord, that out-of-control Taboo Item might have harmed Li Yelai and Hong Lan.

Is this one of the costs of suppressing divinity?

An encounter with malice, or rather, an even greater calamity? No, it seems more like it broadens the target of the calamity.

If you encounter a King, or even stronger, and can also suppress their divinity, wouldn’t that bring about an even greater calamity?

Rock Supreme felt somewhat relieved that if a future King had stepped out of the rift at that time, Li Yelai might have succumbed to a sudden, terrifying calamity without even needing to act.

And, more relieved that Li Yelai hadn’t used the Lucky Wheel at that time. Otherwise, under such terrifying calamity, who knows what catastrophe might have occurred?

But… one cannot deny the power of this ability.

In the records of Forbidden Zone civilization, Divine Calamities were often divine weapons with various abilities.

Divine Calamities are too rare, and even the King of Restricted Zone may not possess one. The conditions for creating them are extremely stringent.

Only S-Class or higher-level Spiritual Ability Equipment, after slaying an Overlord or stronger beings, have a chance to be born against divinity and become Divine Calamities.

Of course, sub-S-Class could also work, but lower-level Spiritual Ability Equipment would find it challenging to break through the defenses of Highly Awakened Spiritual Ability Users, so they couldn’t become Divine Calamities.

The unique birth conditions mean that the emergence of each Divine Calamity is accompanied by a bloody storm.

The Forbidden Zone speculated that the Old Mad King once slew the Forbidden Zone Supreme, and that Three-pointed Two-edged Blade might have become a Divine Calamity.

In the current Immortal Palace, those divine weapons, like the Solar Piercing Golden Arrow, are Divine Calamities that killed divine entities. Their power is terrifying to the extreme.

Unfortunately, they have been completely lost in the river of time to hold back future enemies.

This is a great regret.

If only a few more Divine Calamities were left, it would be a joyous event for humanity.

Those are weapons against divine entities, the greatest support in battles of the same level!

And Li Yelai’s current state is infinitely close to a Divine Calamity, with considerable suppressive power against divinity.

Li Yelai just entering that state allowed even him, this Supreme, to feel a bit of suppressive power.

If faced directly, that suppressive power might be even stronger…

Of course, this requires Li Yelai himself to master this power.

If he can skillfully use this power, it would surely be a powerful weapon against those Forbidden Zone Supremes and Kings!

No wonder the Amber King insisted on keeping Li Yelai within Giant City for experimentation…

The Amber King must have already speculated, indeed, such a secret must not be known to the outside world!

Otherwise, even if it breaks a certain tacit understanding between the Giant City and the Forbidden Zone, they would send a Supreme to strike him down.

The Amber King originally suspected that the force in Hong Lan’s leg was some unknown divinity. Many methods could not break through it.

With Li Yelai’s ability, perhaps he could eliminate this divinity.

A human form godly entity… this is too important for humanity.

With a myriad of thoughts swirling in his mind, Rock Supreme calmly spoke: “Block it, don’t let it disturb the Night General and Hong Lan.”

Before he finished speaking, the Giant Cauldron Dominator and the Hong Family Dominator beside him suddenly moved.

“I head out early at eight!” the Giant Cauldron Dominator roared as he charged into the distance, beginning to powerfully suppress the Taboo Item.

Meanwhile, the Hong Family Dominator calmly contemplated the means to suppress the Taboo Item, providing assistance from the sidelines.

Rock Supreme stood motionless, still guarding not far from the little house.

He feared that if he left, other troubles might unexpectedly arise.

…

Inside the room, Li Yelai saw those red patterns writhing like snakes on Hong Lan’s pale, yet exceedingly slender legs.

At the same time, Hong Lan’s expression became increasingly pale and painful, but a look of surprise flashed in her eyes!

Yes, surprise!

The spiritual energy consuming her flesh became more active… but also showed immense fear!

This was an unprecedented situation. Even when the Spirit Extinguisher approached before, it had never been so fearful!

“There is… an effect…” In just a few seconds, Hong Lan was sweating profusely from pain, yet she gritted her teeth and said, “You’re suppressing… no, you’re eliminating it. Please… continue!”

The nightmare that had plagued her for years was finally coming to an end, her voice filled with tremors and joy.

Li Yelai, however, found himself at a loss. He had already reversed the Divine Demon Stele and strengthened the Curse of Misfortune.

At this moment, he could sense a torrent of malevolent intent.

But he didn’t understand his current ability. Continuing… he couldn’t continue at all.

“I’ll try. Pardon me…”

After a moment’s hesitation, Li Yelai crouched beside Hong Lan’s reclining chair, touching her ankle with the back of his hand.

Instantly, the red lines on the touched skin contorted violently and rapidly faded. He could faintly hear a sharp explosion.

Effective! Just a touch could suppress this bizarre power?

Li Yelai was pleasantly surprised: “Does it feel better?”

“Wait! Who taught you to force poison upwards from the foot?” But Hong Lan’s face turned even paler.

She discovered that the strange power originally entrenched on her legs was now extending upwards, perhaps sensing danger and trying to escape.

This alarmed Hong Lan, and she immediately activated all her spiritual energy to resist.

This bizarre spiritual energy had kept her in a wheelchair for years, just entrenched in her legs.
