Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Emperor Yun was very satisfied with his new equipment, so he took Gongsun the craftsman and his assistants under his command.

This made many believers who heard the news envious.

To become God's chosen servant is truly a meteoric rise to power.

If the chosen one were to establish a branch, then they would all be elders.

This made many followers, even elite believers from branch cults, envious.

After learning that Lord Emperor Yun wanted a mount, they all started planning how to capture one for him.

Li Yelai, meanwhile, was familiarizing himself with his new weapons and equipment in the room.

The black gold dragon patterned spear is good, but it is not very suitable for Li Yelai's one-handed eighteen-strike technique.

Now that it has been transformed into the Black Gold Dragon Spear, it can be said that Li Yelai's close combat ability has been raised to its peak.

The extraordinary armor crafted by Gongsun's artisans was also quite impressive.

In order to curry favor with his superior, Li Yelai, Gongsun, the craftsman, spared no expense in using a large amount of high-grade extraordinary materials, making the armor's defensive capabilities quite remarkable.

The only drawback is that it's a bit heavier than the officially made armor, but it's still within acceptable limits.

For Li Yelai, it was all about consuming the church's resources anyway, and because of their flattery, Li Yelai himself didn't have to pay any price; at most, he'd become a chosen servant of God. That was essentially free resources, the more the merrier.

Free stuff smells good!

"That craftsman seemed terrified at the end; he probably thought of Captain Yang Chen when he saw you dressed like that," Little Mad King said, stepping out of the shadows.

“Yes, I noticed. It’s because of the Bright Armor and the Fangtian Halberd.” Li Yelai shook his head: “The captain, or rather the past champions, put too much pressure on them, so much so that they would panic if they saw someone dressed similarly.”

This wasn't the first time; when Li Yelai was in Silver Mountain City, he scared Gotwin half to death.

This is because Li Yelai and Captain Yang Chen's equipment are quite similar.

This clearly demonstrates the champion's prestige.

"Among all the major cities, the situation in our third border city is actually the worst."

"Although the old man is a psionic monarch, he cannot easily take action due to his limited lifespan; he can only intimidate. The human supreme who once fought alongside him has died in battle. In fact, the giant city is no longer able to deploy its high-end combat forces. According to the calculations of the various forbidden zones, our giant city will be the first to perish."

"Tragedy is that in the more than sixty years since the city was built, no one has ascended to the Supreme level. Those once-famous and brilliant human geniuses all fell on the road of war before they could grow up. But who could have imagined that the city would produce eight generations of human champions, who would become invincible among their peers and have a great reputation, enough to challenge the Supreme level and make up for the deficiency in high-end combat power."

Little Mad King said, "When we were assassinating Meiwu, Captain Yang Chen used his Six Senses Body to fight against several four-winged and two six-winged angels. He faced danger in both the physical world and the virtual world at the same time. He used himself as a furnace and his enemies as fire to forge himself and advance to the level of overlord."

Li Yelai nodded. After so many days, he had learned a bit about Captain Yang Chen's heroic deeds.

At the sixth level of awakening, one faces an attack from several sixth-level angels and two seventh-level angels.

Yet they were able to rise above adversity and turn the tables on their opponents.

It is said that only one angel overlord managed to escape, while the rest were all killed.

Such a record truly deserves the title of champion!
"The captain is indeed invincible." Li Yelai exclaimed, then asked, "Since they are all so afraid, what if I put on a blood-red cloak?"

"Then they'll run faster than me." Little Mad King seemed to smile slightly, but it vanished in an instant.

On the other side, in the mountains more than ten kilometers away from Li Yelai.

Several dark figures flashed through the mountains and forests, arriving at an abandoned two-story building in the mountains.

This building has become their temporary stronghold, where nearly thirty powerful Night Scouts are resting.

"The plan succeeded. They successfully discovered the stronghold of the immortal faction and began to assemble their forces. We discovered three church caravans heading to the stronghold. They were disguised as merchant caravans, but their destination was the settlement we had attacked earlier."

"It's obviously going to be a big one!"

“That makes sense. According to the doctrines of their Blood God faction, what difference does it make who they fight? They crave war, so let them have war!” You Ye Bu Shou chuckled. “We can reap the benefits without lifting a finger.”

"What's the reaction from the immortal faction?" asked Nightbringer, who was wearing lamellar armor and shoulder guards.

"They haven't noticed yet, after all, the two sides are quite far apart. It took us a lot of effort to lure the Blood God faction's trackers to a specific distance. But it should be soon."

"Can you ensure that the deal between the Immortal Faction and Lucheng is still going on?"

"Of course, please don't underestimate my professionalism."

"That beast Black Umbrella has an ambiguous relationship with the Immortal Faction, and he is very likely to be present at their transaction this time."

“Even if we’re not there, it’s fine. By severing the immortality faction’s connection, he won’t have any reinforcements. It will be much easier for us to deal with him afterward.”

"This beast who dared to desecrate the corpse of our comrade! Even if he's a spirit, we'll skin him alive and tear him apart!"

"Yes, is there any other intelligence worth noting?" the scout asked again.

"A new Chosen One has emerged in the Blood God faction," Nightless replied. "He is a newly chosen one, a male human, whose origins and path are unknown. Red Fury and Blood Drinker went to meet him, bringing most of their elite forces with them, which gave us the opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

"The Chosen One is said to only have the fourth level of awakening. But he seems to be very favored by the Blood God and was given the name Emperor's Fall. We haven't been able to find out anything else. With the Chosen One around, we can't just sneak in to investigate."

"That old codger, Emperor Fall and Blood God, really has high hopes for him!" said Nightless Man. "To be crowned a God's Chosen with only the Fourth Awakening, he must have a lot of talent. I wonder how he compares to our Night General?"

"What a piece of trash Emperor Yun is! How dare he try to mess with Night General?" Night General from the champion team sneered: "In a battle between equals, Night General could slap him so hard he'd shit himself. If he couldn't, then Emperor Yun has done his job properly!"

"Holy crap, are your Night Generals really that strong?" A Night Inspector from the second border city exclaimed, "Even our 'Red Robe' wouldn't dare to boast like that."

"Hey, you don't know how valuable Night Monster Spawner is! Ma Hongyi is strong, but she's still a bit lacking." Night Unshou from the Back Peak Group smiled.

"I admit your team is very strong, and you were the main force in this operation, but you're really arrogant! Once this is over, I'll definitely drag our Red-Clad team over to challenge you!"

"Pah! Don't try to plant your flag on me! I still have blind dates to go back to!"

The five senses' night watchmen were discussing amongst themselves, but they seemed quite relaxed.

Meanwhile, the Night Watchers of the Four Senses were resting, eating, meditating, or chatting.

The night watchmen from the second city kept glancing toward the corner.

In a corner, a short-haired girl was quietly enjoying her freshly brewed coffee.

The girl's slender, fair fingers held the water glass, and the rising steam made her features appear even more gentle.

Calm, capable, and serious, yet possessing a face as beautiful as a painting, she left a wonderful impression on many night thugs.

Encouraged by his companions, one of the young spies stepped forward and said, "Sir Cheese, I'd like to inquire whether you are..."

The short-haired girl looked up at him and asked, "Hmm?"

Looking at the short-haired girl's face, the shy Night Collector awkwardly changed the subject: "Are you... are you familiar with that Night General?"

But then she saw the girl's eyebrows arch slightly, and her cherry-colored lips curled up involuntarily, revealing a beautiful smile.

"Of course, we're neighbors, we know each other very well! He's a true hero!"

Meanwhile, Cheese murmured to himself, 'But he's such a blockhead. It's been so long. I wonder how he's doing.'

The next morning.

The Blood God faction's forces were assembled, consisting of over three hundred elite church members at the third awakening level or higher, along with an even larger number of fully armed followers. A total of over two thousand people had gathered.

There were no pre-war declarations, and no tactical plans were formulated.

Under Red Fury's leadership, all troops set off immediately.

Hundreds of armored vehicles and transport trucks started up simultaneously, creating a massive display of force. Without any intention of concealment, they advanced directly towards their target!
Li Yelai and the two chosen ones were sitting in the armored vehicle at the very front.

Inside the vehicle, Hong Nu sized up Li Yelai's equipment and couldn't help but say, "As expected of someone from the champion team, your taste is similar to that of the eighth-generation champion."

"You're still missing a cloak. Once I advance to the seventh awakening and kill Yang Chen, I'll get you the cloak," Blood Drinker said with a smile.

That's hilarious! Anyone can talk big.
But Li Yelai could only nod slightly: "Thank you."

"Once we reach our position, we'll each lead a team and attack their stronghold from three directions. We don't need to completely encircle them; we've deduced they have another stronghold in the mountains, so we'll have them guide us. I just hope they have a chosen one too."

“Emperor Fall, this is your first battle as a chosen one. Fight it well. Although you are a chosen one, you only have the fourth level of enlightenment, which many followers are dissatisfied with and intend to challenge you,” Red Fury said. “Therefore, this battle must be fought well. It will save you a lot of trouble.”

Li Yelai readily agreed, and as for why all his followers had died, he could only say it was bad luck. Who could he blame?
Three hours later, the large convoy passed through a jungle and came to the outpost at the foot of the mountain. Or rather, the fortress!
It was an abandoned chemical industrial park with a large number of factory buildings.

It has now been transformed into an impregnable fortress, with fully armed guards protecting the more than five-meter-high steel walls.

The moment the convoy entered the observation range of its outpost, the entire outpost sounded the alarm.

When the team splits into three and surrounds Ember from three directions.

The cult members inside the stronghold were already fully armed, pulling out all sorts of guns and cannons; Li Yelai even saw a giant, molten cannon. The psionicists among them began performing various evil rituals. They even dragged out several Chaos Eggs bound in chains.

Without any hesitation, the Blood God Cult members, already saturated with killing intent, launched a direct attack on the stronghold!
In that instant, gunfire erupted in a frenzy.

Inside the stronghold, countless shots flew, and shells were launched from it.

"Stop these lunatics!" roared the immortal faction's psionicists. "Let them become a breeding ground for plague!"

One vicious virus bomb after another was dropped.

Meanwhile, the followers of the Blood God faction, chanting "Blood sacrifice to the Blood God, skull offered to the throne," launched a fearless charge.

The psionicists deployed a psionic barrier, bracing themselves against various guns and cannons as they approached the fortress.

The cult members floored the accelerator in their armored vehicles, engines roaring, gunfire erupting, as they charged forward at full speed.

Even if they were blown away by artillery fire, the followers would climb out of the burning armored vehicles, pick up their guns and fight back, and continue their charge!
During this surge, many believers died. But some also received a blessing as a result.

Their skin turned blood red, and sharp fangs even grew from their mouths. Their bodies became stronger; despite being ordinary people, they could withstand some bullets.

The immortal faction was no pushover either, possessing a considerable number of psychics. With the unleashing of various malevolent abilities, many Blood God cult members were instantly reduced to blood and gore.

But the Blood God faction eventually breached the walls, and a large number of followers and psionicists broke in.

They engaged in their favorite close-quarters combat brawl!
The Blood God faction possesses superior close-combat abilities. Whether they are psionicists or ordinary followers, they are blessed by the Blood God and can unleash even greater power.

However, the followers of the immortality faction possess astonishing vitality.

Li Yelai saw one of the guys whose head had been half smashed, yet he was still fighting the enemy.

One is powerful in close combat, the other is incredibly resilient.

Monsters fighting each other.

"So this is the Chaos Civil War. How interesting!" Li Yelai did not hesitate and led his Blood God faction to charge the stronghold.

Li Yelai took the lead, skillfully dodging virus bombs and various guns, while the church's elite followed closely behind.

Then, they saw Li Yelai carry the black-gold dragon-patterned halberd on his back, pick up the longbow behind him, and draw the bow while moving, firing five light arrows at the fortress in an instant, extinguishing the five firing points in a moment.

His archery skills are divine!

But these elites sneered. The Blood God Church looked down on ranged attacks. Although its members could use ranged attacks, it was only for better charging and subsequent close combat. Therefore, even those on the Divine Control Path or the Zeroing Path had to charge with swords.

Therefore, in their view, even if the archery skills of the Emperor's Chosen were excellent, they were still just so-so.

Li Yelai, however, advanced while firing, quickly dismantling the area's firepower.

However, on the fourth shot of the light arrows, only three of the five arrows hit their mark.

Two psionicists from the immortal faction skillfully dodged the shots.

But Li Yelai smiled and said, "Very good!"

It wasn't in vain that I attacked five units in one go; I've finally met a master.

Then
Heavenly Tribulation, come!

Under the horrified gazes of the Blood God faction and the Immortal faction followers, thunderclouds appeared and thunder roared!

Beneath this terrifying thunder, Li Yelai picked up the black-gold dragon-patterned halberd, and a dragon claw appeared in his left hand, transforming the lightning into a spear!

Laughing loudly, he declared, "A blood sacrifice to the Blood God, a skull offered to the throne!"

"Charge with me!" (End of Chapter)
