Chapter 150 The Four Awakenings! Mimicry: Crimson Thunder Dragon Claw!
Compared to the previous awakening process, this time the corruption of the power of the illusory realm is clearly more targeted.

Each time, there was that faint voice, bewitching Li Ye to linger before a certain illusion.

She is a departed mother, she is the truth of seeking knowledge, she is a beautiful girl.

According to the official investigation into the virtual realm.

Within that endless void, there exist some bizarre beings that humans cannot perceive. Among them, some of the most terrifying beings are so unknown that even low-awakened psionicists cannot know their names.

Because revealing their names might attract their attention.

The more you know, the more dangerous it is.
The research yielded a shocking result.

Positive human emotions have ironically become a cause of corruption!

Brave warriors are corrupted by valor, scholars by the pursuit of truth, those who revel in emotions by desire, and those who seek immortality by the pursuit of life itself.
They are ubiquitous, waiting for an opportunity to corrupt the human mind from every angle.

This time, Li Yelai heard that seductive voice even more.

It seems to be... that four-eyed giant who once bewitched him, sitting on the throne? A giant with four eyes?

Is this a reminder not to rely on Mr. Shadow? Or is it giving me another option?

Li Yelai was somewhat surprised; this was the first time Mr. Ying had been noticed by the outside world.

No, perhaps it wasn't that they sensed Mr. Shadow, but rather that they sensed Li Yelai defeating the Insect Lord. They deduced that there was another unknown entity behind Li Yelai.
Li Yelai did not respond; he was not interested in the so-called Blood God believers.

Even if he didn't make a deal with Mr. Shadow, he wouldn't need to get involved with the Blood God.

The case of the Church of the Embers is still fresh in our minds; even if one seeks power, it wouldn't lead to embracing chaos. At least, not for now.
But the voice rang out again: "You cannot always rely on Him, for the Lord's gaze may fall upon you at any time. If you thirst for grace, offer a sacrifice."

This is indeed a dedicated salesman, but unfortunately his methods are somewhat clumsy.

Li Yelai continued forward, gradually approaching his own well of the soul.

The Well of Souls, though called a well, is more like a passage, a passage for humans to approach a deeper realm of the void.

As Li Yelai approached, new power slowly seeped out from the Well of Souls.

But danger also followed.

Crimson lightning flashed beneath the starry sky of the illusory realm.

The remnant projection of Gulanxx reappeared!

Its size had decreased significantly, but it was still over twenty meters long. It roared and howled.

It vents its resentful malice!
Amidst endless resentment and malice, Li Yelai's body twisted violently, his limbs bent, scales pierced from beneath his skin, and sharp claws sprouted from his hands and feet. Behind him, flesh exploded, revealing a tattered dragon wing, while white, stone-like dragon bones rapidly coalesced, and flesh grew wildly.

Li Yelai is rapidly transforming into a dragon!

This is the residual power of an ancient dragon within the potion. It died at the hands of humans, its heart then used to create a potion, fueling its immense rage. It cannot be resurrected using this power, but it can drag Li Yelai down with it into the abyss!
At the same time, Li Yelai's heart began to pound violently, and a powerful force was surging from his heart.

Crimson flames erupted from his heart, spreading throughout his body.

The voice that Li Yelai ignored did not become angry, but calmly said, "You cannot escape it. You have already been marked by my lord, and you will eventually become the chosen one of the Blood God. Do not resist, embrace the glory of battle!"

This was an unavoidable risk; after accidentally using the Heart of Slaughter to strengthen his physical body, Li Yelai seemed to have already been targeted by the Blood God.

As crimson flames surged forth, Li Yelai's dragon-transformed right hand briefly returned to its original state.

But the next second, a thick, scarlet arm armor materialized on his arm.

The armor gradually eroded the dragon's twisted form, and the intense killing desire was consuming Li Yelai's mind.

"Fine, fine, so you're going to play like this! I'll chop off your four-eyed eyes one of these days and offer it to your Blood God! Of course, you might see something else first!" Li Yelai cursed.

But what he said was indeed true. If in the future, Li Yelai were to rise to the Ninth Sense and become a monarch.

He will inevitably have a battle with this four-eyed monster, and if he kills it, the sacrifice will probably not go to the Blood God, but will be intercepted and eaten by Mr. Shadow.

"No problem!" the other party laughed. "I look forward to our battle! Let's fight to the death, sword to sword!"

A madman lost in endless slaughter!
Are all Blood God followers this kind of thing?
Li Yelai cursed his bad luck under his breath.

In the physical world, the once quiet awakening room has been blasting a piercing alarm.

Crimson lightning appeared out of nowhere, destroying all the instruments in the awakening room. The lights exploded, the instruments were ruined, and even the glass of the observation window developed dense cracks.

Yang Chen held his breath and stared intently at Li Yelai, whose limbs were already contorted.

He spoke calmly: "Don't panic, don't rush. Night General is no newcomer; he has experience suppressing ancient dragons!"

That's what they say, but cracks have already appeared in the ground beneath Yang Chen's feet.

He was also in a state of tension.

Gransanx was, after all, a seventh-level ancient dragon, and even though he was made into a potion, the power contained within him was still terrifying.

The only thing that reassured Yang Chen was that Li Yelai was only experiencing limb distortion, and his consciousness was still resisting.

However, when crimson armor appeared on Li Yelai's arm, Yang Chen's expression froze.

Several night scouts also looked solemn: "No wonder he's a colleague personally invited by the captain!"

"A divine choice?" Yang Chen murmured, looking at the scarlet armor on Li Yelai's arm. "He really has a good eye; he always picks people from our champion team."

Meanwhile, in a hidden fortress located in the wilderness.

The carnage had just ended, and countless heads were placed on the altar.

They were both men and women, but their faces were filled with extreme fear and rage, as if they had encountered something terrifying before their deaths.

Blood dripped down and flowed down the steps, encircling a man wielding a giant axe and a woman holding a long sword.

As they were immersed in the River of Blood, their psionic power visibly increased.

The believers guarding the vicinity all looked on with envy.

Offering up so many heads, who knows how much favor will be bestowed in return?

Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes, her golden pupils shimmering indistinctly.

"Our Lord's decree: A new chosen one has emerged in Border City Three. Find him and bring him back to the Church!"

Someone responded, "The branch in Border City Three has been destroyed by the city's authorities. Finding that person might be a bit troublesome." "No problem, as the Chosen Ones, you will notice him." The man chuckled, "Perfect timing! I also want to go to Border City Three. If I can fight the Champion, I can avenge that branch!"

In the virtual realm, Li Yelai's form was in a very strange state.

His left side was covered in dark golden scales, his fingers sprouted horny claws, and his enormous dragon wings had grown flesh and blood, with crimson arcs of electricity flashing within the scales. His left eye, a crimson pupil, carried the oppressive aura of an ancient dragon.

His right side was covered in thick, scarlet armor. The armor was imposing and domineering, containing an unimaginable bloodlust. It gave Li Ye the urge to bathe in blood. His right eye shone with a golden light.

However, Li Yelai calmed down.

He maintained his rationality, extending his sharp claws to pierce his chest and squeeze his heart. He suppressed his bloodlust on a physical level.

The two forces maintain a balance, consuming each other.

As time passed, Gu Long's projection gradually dimmed, and his turbulent heartbeat gradually calmed down.

The distortion on Li Yelai's body gradually faded. Scales scattered, and armor dissipated.

Li Yelai breathed a sigh of relief once his eyes had fully recovered.

The two forces came with overwhelming force; if Li Yelai were to face them alone, he would be severely injured, if not killed.

The conflict between the two actually saved Li Yelai some effort in suppressing the distortions.

However, it seems that from now on, when I use potions, I will have to use some that contain residual power.

Otherwise, without an opponent to satisfy his murderous intent, he would find it difficult to suppress it.

Li Yelai pondered for a moment, then took the final step.

Passing through the Well of Souls, beneath the starry sky of this illusory realm, Li Yelai's psionic projection quietly emerged. It was a faint, transparent image, seemingly composed of the purest energy.

Suddenly, endless starlight began to converge, like a tremendous force projected onto Li Yelai's projection.

They surged into Li Yelai's projection, constantly strengthening his spiritual energy and nourishing his physique.

As starlight poured in, Li Yelai's projection began to change. It was no longer a faint, transparent image, but became increasingly solid and real. It was as if, under the starlight, Li Yelai's soul was elevated, ascending to a higher level of existence!

During this process, Li Yelai's perception also changed.

He felt his consciousness become clearer and his understanding of the world more profound. He seemed to merge with the virtual world, breathing and pulsating with the starlight.

Finally, when the influx of starlight reached its peak, Li Yelai's projection solidified completely.

The projection looked exactly like Li Yelai, but was clad in luminous armor. It was also much taller, seemingly over three meters in height.

"Is this the projection of the illusory realm? The aggregate of the power of psionicists?" Li Yelai sensed his own power.

His psionic energy became more powerful, and his control over it became increasingly refined. At the same time, his connection with the illusory realm became closer, and he gained the ability to speak within the illusory realm.

Then, Li Ye looked up at the starry sky.

As I passed through the Well of Souls, it seemed that something dangerous was approaching.

Are they creatures from the Void Realm? It seems that becoming a Four Awakened One has indeed attracted the attention of some Void Realm creatures wandering in the Void Realm.

I've heard that creatures from the virtual realm can also provide some materials. When I awaken in the future, could I arrange for some colleagues to lie in ambush and act as executioners?

Li Yelai pondered in his heart. But then he saw projections several times larger than his own appear in the distant starry sky, firmly protecting him in the middle.

"Night General, no need to worry about it, leave these to us." A voice from a Night Watchman came from afar, and he laughed, "All you have to do is complete your promotion."

"Okay, thank you!" Li Yelai nodded, not being polite.

After some time, a surge of knowledge and power appeared in Li Yelai's mind—his four senses. Mimicry: Dragon Claw!
With the acquisition of these abilities, it signifies that Li Yelai has successfully advanced to the fourth level of awakening!
In the awakening room, Li Yelai opened his eyes, intending to share his joy with his colleagues, but instead saw the awakening room in complete disarray.

Li Yelai was startled. Could it be that he had not yet successfully broken through and was still in some illusion?

Wait a minute, shouldn't I have already successfully passed through the Well of Souls?
Were these things destroyed by myself during my awakening?

Li Yelai's expression changed slightly as he accepted the fact.

Just then, the door to the Awakening Room opened, and Yang Chen smiled from outside, "Congratulations on successfully achieving the fourth awakening! What... what are you doing?"

Li Yelai squatted down and fiddled with the charred instrument. Seeing that it had fallen apart, he couldn't help but twitch his lips, then stood up and said, "It's alright."

Yang Chen, having known Li Ye for a long time, instantly understood and was somewhat amused and exasperated, but still spoke first, saying, "This isn't reimbursed."

"Oh"

When Li Yelai stepped out of the awakening room, he was greeted with congratulations from his teammates, as well as the logistics team's bill. *cough*

Then, Yang Chen asked, "How are your abilities?"

Li Yelai immediately smiled and said, "Very strong, very successful!"

"Shall we try the training ground?" Yang Chen asked.

Li Yelai nodded. With Yang Chen and the Night Watchmen's discerning eyes, they could naturally see the weaknesses and strengths of the abilities, and thus make better tactical adjustments.

He immediately went with Yang Chen and a team of Night Watchmen to the nearest training room.

Li Ye arrived at the center of the training field and used aerial stepping to hover in mid-air. Then, he extended his right hand and released his power.

A nearly two-meter-long, dark golden dragon claw phantom appeared on Li Yelai's arm. Like an exoskeleton, it moved with the swing of Li Yelai's arm.

"The startup time is about 0.7 seconds. With training, it can be reduced to 0.3 seconds, or even less," a night watchman quickly commented.

For psionicists, this 0.7-second activation time still carries risks.

Psionicists are too fast, especially those using the Netherworld Path or True Martial Path. With their burst speed, in close combat, that 0.7 seconds is enough for them to launch Li Ye. The activation speed must be compressed as much as possible. Instantaneous activation isn't necessary, but it shouldn't be a weakness.

"Moreover, the Night General's dragon claw isn't very large. Generally speaking, the length of a mimicry dragon claw exceeds three meters. This one is less than two meters," another Night General responded.

This means that its melee attack power may not be as effective as other dragon claws.

However, the next moment, their eyes widened.

As Li Yelai clenched his dragon claw, the lights in the lounge flickered, and a crimson lightning bolt more than three meters long appeared between the dragon claws!
Li Yelai, wielding crimson lightning, resembled a deity in mythology who wielded thunder!
This is the Thunder Spear of Gulansanx!
Li Yelai twisted his body and threw the Thunder Spear, which pierced through the metal cube twenty meters away!
"It's a long-range attack!" The Night Scouts were overjoyed.

And this is Li Yelai's four senses ability.
