Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 168 The Fall of the Ominous Star
With a terrifying roar, the mountain exploded. A crimson meteor streaked across the sky, both magnificent and violent.

It pierced through the mountain rocks, forcefully carving through several mountain peaks.

Finally, it crashed into a forest, smashing a large number of trees before finally coming to a stop.

The powerful and astonishing fluctuations of spiritual energy even alarmed the powerful figures within the giant city. Although they were within the city, there was no way to conceal their presence; the surging spiritual energy was far too conspicuous.

At that moment, the gazes of several captains within the giant city turned toward them.

"Unfamiliar? Who is it?"

"The intensity of the psionic energy isn't high, but the power is immense. A combination of abilities? Another puppet?"

"Are they our people, or our enemies?"

The captains' eyes flashed, and powerful psionic projections appeared in the virtual realm, traversing the starry sky of the virtual realm, wanting to explore the physical world.

"Alright, they're on our side, keep their identities confidential." A powerful figure whispered in the virtual realm, stopping the powerful captains.

Upon learning that it was the ability of a fellow countryman, the captains all smiled. They didn't insist on knowing who it was, but knowing that it was one of their own, and that humanity's combat strength had been enhanced once again, was enough.

In a dispatch base in the East District, the doll sensed a familiar spiritual energy.

Beneath the mascot's headdress, those beautiful eyes brightened, revealing a hint of joy.

Meanwhile, at the Jing family manor, the white-haired old man and Jing Jing also had slight changes in their expressions.

"Judging from the intensity, they're not a captain-level expert. But the power is astonishing. Are they officials from Border City No. 3?" Jing Jing asked.

This means that the psychic possesses the ability to fight opponents of higher levels, a rare quality in both the official city government and psychic families.

The former doll was hailed as a captain-level powerhouse during the fifth awakening stage because her skill combination gave her terrifying output that rivaled any sixth awakening.

Now, another powerful figure like this has appeared in Border City No. 3, which has shocked Jing Jing.

"I don't know, but since it's within the giant city and the authorities haven't made any moves, it must be one of their people." The white-haired old man said calmly, "After all, it's a giant city that has experienced the calamity fog. After a calamity, there are always people who grow up quickly. I really envy them."

“If a divine child were to descend to earth, none of this would matter,” Jing Jing sneered. “The divine child would reveal the true power of our bloodline.”

The white-haired old man looked at Jing Jing and said, "I heard that your people have started contacting Night General's sister? Are you planning to anger the authorities? Although the Old Mad King is old, he is still a king. Even the King of the Forbidden Zone wouldn't dare to offend the majesty of another king!"

The Psionic King is the strongest psionic being in the physical world.

It is precisely because of the existence of human kings that humanity has been able to survive to this day under the protection of the giant city.

During the most chaotic and terrifying period, it was only because kings and supreme beings emerged one after another from the calamity fog, intimidating the forbidden zones, that humanity was able to continue.

Even the mysterious Yaoqingjing family would not dare to offend a monarch.

Li Yunyan is now an official; if Jing Jing were to take her away, it would undoubtedly anger the emperor. The Jing family cannot afford such a price!
“Of course I wouldn’t offend the Mad King. I have the utmost respect for human powerhouses.” Jing Jing raised an eyebrow. “I just intended to tell her that she might be able to break free from her curse. I’m not lying to her. With the power of a divine child, she might really be able to suppress the curse. And if she chooses to come with us, it wouldn’t be considered offending a king. It’s a pity we couldn’t meet her. She seems unwilling to have contact with my people.”

"Stop. What you're doing will only enrage Night General," the old man said quietly.

"Night General? That lowly wretch?" Jing Jing sneered, "Four senses are already his limit! What can a common man's rage do?"

"He has now become the Night Watchman of the Champion Team," the old man said. "You should know how prestigious the Champion Team is."

Jing Jing's expression shifted slightly. The reputation of the champion team was once extremely renowned. The terrifying curses uttered by the powerful beings they had killed before their deaths or exiles echoed throughout the Void Realm. Therefore, even the distant Yaoqing Giant City had heard of the champion's achievements.

Jing Jing continued coldly, "After all, he is a lost bloodline of the Jing family. If he is willing to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the family, then we can let him return to the Jing family."

Her opinion of Li Yelai changed from that of a lowly person to that of someone who had lost his bloodline.

The old man noticed this, let out a mocking laugh, and then said, "That's all I have to say. You'd better take care of yourself!"

Jing Jing responded with a cold laugh; although the two were siblings, they couldn't see eye to eye.

Jing Jing quickly changed the subject: "Third Brother, how did your talks with Border City No. 3 go? Are they willing for us to take Tai Chi Yin with us?"

"No, but it can be used. However, it cannot be outside the control of the border city's urban area." The old man replied, "Currently, they want us to open the Divine Palace in the Lava Mine City."

“They do know how to negotiate,” Jing Jing said. “That’s acceptable. At least the King is here, so there won’t be any trouble. Although there will be a few more conquerors, it won’t be a big deal. The border city probably wants the life essence in the Divine Treasury to prolong the life of the old Mad King, which is also for the sake of humanity. Let’s inform the patriarch and have him send his elite troops to prepare to enter the Divine Treasury Immortal Palace. Our Jing family’s bloodline has a great advantage in this!”

"I hope the old Mad King can hold on until that time." The old man sighed, "It would be too tragic to die of old age like this."

Meanwhile, atop the headquarters tower of Border City No. 3, an unusually elderly man leaned on a cane, gazing into the distance.

His gaze traveled dozens of kilometers and landed on a celestial comet-like qilin. Strangely, the qilin's leg was somewhat lame.
The old man couldn't help but laugh and said, "What do you think of his risky move?"

Beside the old man stood the young Mad King, carrying a long sword. The young Mad King had a cold expression and a tall, slender figure, standing behind the old man. He was also pushing a wheelchair.

The Little Mad King responded calmly, "This move is very powerful, and he has another trump card. But it's very risky. The limitations of the vehicle assassin prevent him from using this trump card easily. However, even so, Night General's strength should not be underestimated. He has a powerful physique, and each of his three mask abilities has its own merits, plus the mimicry inherent in the Myriad Paths. Even a five-sense psychic would find him very troublesome."

This is extremely high praise. Little Mad King was already a captain-level powerhouse. If Old Mad King hadn't been worried about her unstable path, she would have already advanced to the seventh awakening. Her judgment is very sharp and unlikely to be wrong.

"Yes, he's a good child too." The old man coughed a few times and said, "You are all good children, you are all the future. Don't take too many risks."

The old man was reminding Little Mad King not to take too many risks during the mission, and that if things became unmanageable, he should retreat immediately.

Meiwu is indeed a damned traitor, but sacrificing two people is unnecessary.

Both Little Mad King and Night General Li Yelai are rare 'good kids' who will shoulder heavy responsibilities in the future, and they must not be sacrificed in such a place.

“Only danger can hone his true talent, just like you. Just like me,” Little Mad King said softly. Although she was aloof, Little Mad King still respected Old Mad King who had adopted her.

The old man is the mad king!
The strongest being who was swallowed by the calamity fog, fought and killed in a bizarre world spanning a vast period of time, led his compatriots out of the calamity fog, and led humanity in a bloody battle against the forbidden zone legion before the forbidden zone was fully formed, and finally became a king!
The King of the Forbidden Zone called him the most arrogant monarch! "Me?" The old man shook his head: "I am far less powerful than you think. I and hundreds of millions of my compatriots were swallowed by the calamity fog, struggling to survive in the bizarre world within it. Among them, many powerful figures emerged. They were all outstanding individuals of their time, and there were even more powerful predecessors. They shielded me from countless deadly attacks, and they all said only one sentence to me."

"Keep going, keep going! Humanity needs a king."

"They shielded me from countless calamities, allowing me to grow and become stronger in this bizarre world. It took countless years, carrying their hopes, to lead my last comrades out of the calamity fog and support the physical world."

"But I have failed them, and even if I become king, I can no longer protect humanity."

The old man's voice was filled with sorrow and resentment. The intense spiritual energy fluctuations even created a massive spiritual energy storm within the Void Realm, causing the creatures of the Forbidden Zone to flee in terror. Even the King of the Forbidden Zone was on high alert.

They were terrified that the old mad king would go mad and take one or more of them with him before he died.

But the old mad king could only sigh helplessly.

The curse of the psionicists prevented him from maintaining his peak combat power, making him the first king to die of old age.

How ridiculous and pathetic it is to die of old age!

In the bizarre world of the disaster fog, he was protected by so many talented young people and so many wise predecessors, yet he failed to live up to their expectations.
The penalty area was not yet cleared, and he was about to give his all. How unwilling he must have been!

He should have wielded a three-pointed double-edged sword, led thousands of troops, swept away the forbidden zone, recovered lost territory, and rebuilt the country!

Instead of remaining hidden within the giant city, clinging to life like a sword that could break at any moment.

He was unwilling to accept it, so unwilling!
But he cannot act rashly.
We can only place our hopes on the future, on the next generation.

The moment that brought him the greatest despair was the death of the seventh champion, his chosen successor, who was supposed to take his place in protecting humanity. Instead, he perished in a calamity fog.
Old Mad King was filled with remorse. He had failed to protect the seventh-generation champion from death, unlike his predecessors.

Now, new geniuses are gradually emerging, including the eighth-generation champion Yang Chen, the Puppet, the Little Mad King, several captains, and that Night General.
He didn't want any more accidents to happen to them.

He is going to die; it will take him anywhere from two years to three months before his life force completely fades away.

At that time, there will be no king to oversee things, and no supreme expert will be available.

Even if the Amber King from behind were to intervene, it would be too little, too late.

The situation for humanity will become even more dire.

"I know what you're thinking. Danger can temper your mind and enhance your spiritual power. But never take risks," the old Mad King whispered.

After a moment of silence, the Little Mad King replied, "I will make sure Night survives, even though you don't trust me."

Old Mad King chuckled as he sat in his wheelchair, letting Little Mad King push him back into his room.

On the other side, in the broken forests of the suburbs.

Li Yelai was unaware that the commotion he had caused had attracted the attention of various powerful figures; he was struggling to climb down from a broken tree.

He was thrown around during the fall, smashing through countless trees before finally getting stuck on a branch.

It took him a while to recover. He climbed down from the tree and then vomited right there on the ground. Although he had never seen a roller coaster before, Li Yelai felt that this must be much more thrilling than a roller coaster.

Thankfully he took off his helmet, otherwise he probably would have vomited right in his face.

"This trick really shouldn't be used too often. The vehicle killer is still the boss!" Li Yelai spat out a mouthful of blood and began to examine his body.

Okay, the Abyss Dragon Scale cracked open, and the Bright Light Armor also showed some distortion.

Fortunately, thanks to his strong physique and the life force feedback from his heart, Li Yelai was not injured.

Then, Li Yelai saw a Tianhui Qilin stuck in the mud. It was once majestic and elegant, but now it was in a sorry state.

Its forelimbs also appear to be lame.
Upon seeing Li Ye arrive, Tianhui Qilin even revealed a hint of grievance in his eyes.

Who is this kind-hearted person who crashed headfirst into several mountains? Huh?
"My old horse number two." Li Yelai approached and comforted the Tianhui Qilin for a while before putting it back into the bell.

The summoned creatures will heal from these injuries over time, so there's no need to worry too much.

Actually, there wasn't much of a problem initially; the Tianhui Qilin's full-speed output, combined with 'Swift as the Wind' and 'Thunderous Movement', was incredibly powerful. However, due to its vehicle-killing nature, the Tianhui Qilin was injured, and its reins snapped instantly.

This resulted in Li Yelai being thrown off balance, and Tianhui Qilin also sustaining serious injuries.

It was the vehicle killer that made it, and it was also the vehicle killer that ruined it.

Li Ye looked around at the scenery. It was good. Although he was a bit disheveled, it was undeniable that the power was very strong!

With the combined power of wind and thunder techniques, the Heavenly Comet Qilin's impact was greatly amplified! It truly destroyed everything like a meteor.

However, the limitations are significant. It nearly depleted all of Li Yelai's Shadow Army, severely restricting his ability to recover and deplete his spiritual energy. Furthermore, the vehicle assassin is a trump card that should only be used as a last resort!
But Li Yelai was still excited. He had another trump card. Great!
Even though Mr. Shadow is temporarily unable to be traded, Li Yelai now has two powerful trump cards!

The first one was the Super Dragon Thunder that injured Yang Chen, which Yang Chen named the Spear of the End. That was definitely his last trump card, so calling it the End wasn't too bad.

The second one is the comet impact, which we have just discovered.
Then let's choose a name.
Li Yelai picked up his weapon and headed towards the outskirts of the city.

He pondered the name of the hidden card.

If you were to ask Li Yunyan, she would probably give a name like 'Cute Star Flying Collision'. An enemy who dies from this move will surely die with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

However, a normal name is needed, otherwise it will be difficult to write in the report.

"Then... the ominous star will fall!"
