Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

At this moment, the Qinling headquarters was a battlefield both inside and out.

They face surprise attacks from the outside and formidable enemies from within.

The surprise attack by Yueying and others tied down several demon generals and some elite troops of the main headquarters.

The resurgence of ancient powerhouses within the headquarters completely disrupted the rhythm of the main force.

In fact, the main headquarters' combat power is terrifying; no giant city or forbidden zone should underestimate this force.

However, caught off guard, the main headquarters' combat power is now difficult to utilize.

Who could have predicted that a hegemon-level expert and several sixth-awareness powerhouses would suddenly emerge from their own core territory?
Some legions had just rushed out of their camps when they ran headlong into the ancient creatures. Caught completely unprepared, they were forced to fight back, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

More and more ancient beings were revived by their companions. The reviving beings, whose minds were still hazy, clearly sensed the aura of chaos and the aura of divine choice.

They rose up in unison and launched a siege against the headquarters, which was currently the only chosen one.

This instilled a sense of fear in all the demon generals.

If it is said that the humans of the giant city, within their headquarters and under the protection of numerous demon generals, successfully killed a chosen one of the gods.

Even if he returns to the physical world in the future, he will never be able to ascend to the level of a Chaos Prince again.

Then all the followers of the entire headquarters will suffer the Blood God's raging fury!

They will be assigned to launch a crusade of atonement, to attack and annihilate great cities and forbidden zones until they are completely wiped out.

He cannot die! He is the chosen one of the fallen emperors, he absolutely cannot die!
The two demon generals who were originally chasing Moonshadow immediately abandoned the pursuit, turned around and rushed towards the headquarters, intending to return immediately to protect the Chosen One.

"Since we're already here, let's chat for another five cents!" Yueying laughed, swinging her great axe and summoning a thousand feet of thunder, transforming it into a raging inferno of lightning.

Streams of heavenly lightning connected heaven and earth, forming a cage that blocked the two demon generals and their subordinates.

But the demon generals were clearly determined to return to defend the main headquarters, and they actually chose to withstand the thunder and break through the cage.

The two demon generals, covered in wounds, managed to escape, while the remaining church elites charged towards Moonshadow like madmen. Clearly, they were to stay behind to cover their retreat.

Instead of pursuing the demon generals, Moonshadow began dealing with the church's elite troops. He still hoped these demon generals could return, at least to protect Night General.
The rest is up to Li Yelai to decide.

However, Moonshadow's gaze swept towards the main headquarters.

Dangerous spiritual energy fluctuations surged forth, and even overlord-level powerhouses were dispatched.

This made Yueying mentally grumble, "You little brat, don't go too far. You've even lured out the overlord. Thank goodness you didn't invite the doll into the operation."

On the other hand, Li Yelai's situation was indeed very dangerous.

As he moved and his followers desperately covered him, his inevitable formidable enemies were triggered one after another, awakening one ancient being after another.

Whenever reinforcements arrive and block or repel a dangerous enemy, a new enemy always appears.

The elite Fifth Legion had been completely scattered, with battle-hardened veterans and vampires cut off by multiple enemies and fighting independently. The arriving demon generals were also unable to spare any resources.

Dangerous battles erupted around him, and many of his soldiers and followers were caught in the unknown area-of-effect attacks and died on the spot.

Several times the situation was extremely critical, with some sixth-level experts even breaking through to within a hundred meters of Li Yelai. Even the Little Mad King was almost forced to make a move.

If it weren't for the fact that the main headquarters' air defenses were still in effect, restricting the ancient creatures' pursuit,

Otherwise, Li Yelai probably would have had to open his face and run away.

This plan does indeed carry some significant risks.

At this critical moment, the old demon general's voice rang out.

The old demon who guarded the headquarters' treasury personally extended an invitation to Li Ye.

"Lord Emperor, please come to the treasure vault. I will protect your safety!"

Okay, okay, it's finally here!

Even in the chaotic headquarters, there is still a safe place.

That means there are only two.

One is the Palace of Oracles.

There is divine power there, which can protect the chosen ones for a period of time.

The other is the main headquarters treasury, which is heavily fortified and personally guarded by a hegemon!
Each level of the treasure vault has strict and robust defenses, which will surely protect the chosen one!
'Excellent!' Li Yelai laughed inwardly; this was actually his ultimate goal.

Yueying and others feigned an attack on the main headquarters, and Li Yelai took the opportunity to activate his facial makeup and lead his legion to attack, thus luring out the enemy by pretending to encounter a powerful foe.

In order to protect themselves as the chosen one, the headquarters has few options, and the treasure vault is the best target.

Therefore, Li Yelai led his remaining troops to charge towards the treasure vault.

The nearby legions and followers shouted, "Protect Lord Emperor's Fall!"

"Second Legion, charge with me and stop the enemy!"

"Cover the master's way to the treasure vault! Quickly!"

"My lord, go first!" Demon General Bai Ya surged with spiritual energy, joining several elites to block a sixth-level expert.

The followers were incredibly loyal and brave, fighting one after another to hold off the enemy for Li Yelai. Some demon generals even bled in mid-air under the Overlord's attack.

It was so touching that Li Yelai almost couldn't help but laugh.

It's amazing that the enemy fights another group of enemies to protect themselves!

Thus, with the sacrifice of countless followers, Li Yelai's remaining forces successfully reached the treasure vault.

Outside the treasure vault, the First Legion stationed there had already clashed with several ancient beings of the Sixth Sense, amidst the roar of cannons and the surge of psionic energy.

The old demon general stood before the open door of the treasure vault and said loudly, "Lord Emperor's Fall, please enter the depths of the treasure vault! I will defend you against the pursuers! If I die in battle, you may enter the fifth level, which will buy you some time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chilling spiritual energy.

At the same time, a sharp blade pierced through the servant behind Li Yelai and went straight for Li Yelai's back.

It was an ancient being from the Netherworld! It suddenly launched an assassination attempt on Li Yelai from behind!

"Get lost!" The old demon general sneered, and instantly threw a punch, breaking the sharp blade in half and sending the assassin and several soldiers behind Li Yelai flying.

The assassin coughed up black blood, then let out a sinister laugh. His shadow flickered, and figures appeared one after another.

Those are the Shadow Army of the Netherworld Path!
Seeing that the assassination attempt had failed, he quickly created distance, and thousands of alien knights appeared, charging towards the nearby church legion.

"Thank you, Your Excellency," Li Yelai replied quickly.

"My lord, you must not be harmed. These are the key stones for each level of the treasure vault." The old demon general stepped out of the gate, standing like a mountain blocking the battlefield. He handed four different stones to Li Yelai.

Li Yelai led his remaining troops into the treasure vault.

The old demon general turned around and glanced at Li Yelai's back, a flash of memory and expectation in his eyes.

Then, he turned to look at the battlefield outside, at the ancient powerhouses rapidly approaching.

In an instant, the terrifying aura of the overlord filled the air as he stood blocking the gate with a large black spear in his hand!
"This road is blocked!" he roared angrily as he faced off against the ancient overlord.

The humans of the giant city are truly cunning, and they even know so much about the headquarters.

The location of the seals of these ancient beings is top secret!
Because they dared not move the sealed blood ore crystals, they were all left in place.

To prevent any chosen ones from going overboard, the headquarters deliberately broke the seal in search of excitement.

These locations are kept secret from God's chosen ones!

Now, these locations are known to humankind, and in order to kill Emperor Yun, so many ancient powerhouses have been precisely awakened!
There must be traitors within the church, and quite a few of them!

Moreover, there must be high-ranking traitors among them!
After this incident, a thorough purge must be carried out within the headquarters!
"Back then, I failed to protect Lord Tiankui and fled in panic under the siege of the Champion Team. This time, I will not run away. I will definitely protect Lord Diyun!" The old demon general roared, wielding his black spear.

A colossal well of souls appeared behind him, and a tall figure clad in red armor emerged from it. He entered the physical world and merged into the old demon general's body.

This boosted the old demon general's spiritual power to its peak! The mere fluctuations of spiritual power shattered the mountain rocks.

He wielded his spear, the extremely resilient spear swinging in mid-air in an extreme circle, as if the surrounding air was sucked away, and then it exploded!

A violent airflow swept across the land, influencing celestial phenomena. The peak strike of a hegemon-level expert caused the entire Qinling Mountains to tremble.

He was born in a chaotic period after the cataclysm, when human society was destroyed and the great human cities had not yet been built.

He was a refugee within the sphere of influence of a certain warlord.

His parents were persecuted by warlords.

It was Tiankui who found him and discovered him. He became a follower of the Church of the Embers and a psionicist.

He personally killed his enemies and chopped the entire family of the warlord into mincemeat.

He was the most loyal servant of the Chosen One, but when disaster struck, he was powerless to protect the Chosen One and could only watch helplessly as the next champion, wielding a sharp blade, charged toward the Chosen One.

This was his eternal nightmare, even after he rose to the position of overlord and achieved a prominent status.

This nightmare has never disappeared.

Now, he must overcome this nightmare and protect the Chosen One amidst humanity's conspiracy!
Being targeted by humans so much, the Chosen One must possess a talent that terrifies humanity. He must survive; he will inherit the will of Lord Tiankui! He will fill the world with the faith of chaos!
"Kill!!!" the old demon general roared.

The ancient overlords were equally violent, and their civilization suffered severe damage, which was inextricably linked to the corruption of chaos.

They were sealed within the Blood Sealing Crystal, carrying their resentment and anger towards chaos into the future.

This was to strengthen the will of future generations to resist.

But when they awoke, they did not see their own civilization. Instead, they sensed the blasphemous aura of the Chosen Ones.

This drove them to utter madness! Had their civilization been destroyed? By the followers of Chaos? By this group of bizarre-looking monkeys?
Then kill them! Especially kill that Chosen One of Chaos!
In fact, they could have calmed down, worked together to break through, and escaped from the headquarters.

But with the intervention of a certain guy, all they felt was anger!

The battle between the two overlords was earth-shattering, shattering countless mountains. Metal structures melted into molten iron, countless forests burned into seas of fire, corpses littered the ruins, and spiritual energy surged like a tide.

The headquarters suffered its biggest blow since its establishment.

Recently, all the branch headquarters wanted to send reinforcements to support the main headquarters, but the terrifying battle fluctuations attracted the attention of the restricted area and the giant city, and the branch headquarters were firmly held in place.

On the other side, inside the treasure vault.

Li Yelai entered the third level of the treasure vault under the protection of a group of remaining soldiers.

“My lord, please venture deeper into the treasure vault!” A Chaos officer with a missing arm saluted Li Yelai and said, “Our Fifth Army will construct its defensive line here!”

"Aren't you coming down with me?" Li Yelai said in a deep voice.

“Thank you for your concern, sir! But we do not have permission to enter the fourth level of the treasure vault. We will build a defensive line here for you! Please continue to go deeper!” another officer said.

Soldiers are not authorized to enter the deeper treasure vaults; the fourth level is reserved for Chaos Demon Generals and the Chosen Ones. Very few members of the legion are even qualified to enter the third level.

These soldiers will form a defensive line between the first and third levels. If the gate is breached, they will hold the line and continue to protect the Chosen Ones. "My lord, we will also be stationed on the third level!"

River and his two servants bowed to Li Yelai and said.

The casualties were heavy, except for Gongsun, a psionic craftsman who stayed in the armory to forge weapons.

All the other servants had followed Li Ye to inspect the legion, and now only three of them remained.

Even the demon general Baiya disappeared during a period of chaos.

Of course, she was actually kicked out by the Little Mad King and couldn't return to Li Yelai's side. The Demon General has high authority, and she couldn't be allowed to interfere with Li Yelai's plans.

The rest either got separated from their families or died in unknown attacks.

"Survive!" Li Yelai said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" the servants responded in unison.

Then, they watched as Li Yelai entered the fourth floor.

But they didn't know that an inconspicuous follower had disappeared in a corner of the treasure vault.

Once the thick gate closed and the series of sealing magic arrays activated, the fourth layer of defense was fully activated. Anyone else wishing to enter would have to break through the gate.

Li Yelai glanced around, then hummed a little tune.

The next second, a graceful figure emerged from his shadow—it was none other than Little Mad King, dressed in a black bodysuit. The bodysuit, like an artist's brush, skillfully outlined her perfect body, flawlessly showcasing every line of her form. It revealed a perfect blend of strength and grace.

The arms have smooth lines and firm muscles, as if they contain endless power.

Her back is particularly captivating, with elegant and flowing curves that speak of feminine charm and allure.

Her slender waist contrasted sharply with her full hips, making her figure appear even more graceful.

Her long legs appeared even longer and straighter under the tight-fitting clothes, and her steps were light and powerful.

It was clearly a tight-fitting suit designed for assassins, but Little Mad King wore it with captivating charm.

The space around Li Yelai rippled and flickered. He took out a set of clothes from the storage space of the Ark and handed them to Little Mad King.

"Are you alright?" Li Yelai asked.

"My arm was dislocated once, but otherwise I'm fine." Little Mad King took the windbreaker and put it on, saying, "It was a bit risky just now; I almost didn't spot that assassin!"

The Little Mad King was disguised as a maid, and he concealed himself at the very beginning of the riot.

He secretly shielded Li Ye from the blade. Among the ancient beings were several master assassins.

What she was referring to just now was actually the assassination attempt at the entrance of the treasure vault, where the attacker was also a master assassin.

If he hadn't been asleep for so long, revealing a slight flaw that allowed Little Mad King to hear a heartbeat, probably no one would have noticed.

They clashed in secret, revealing some of their psionic abilities. Left with no other option, the assassin was forced to make a move and was repelled by the old demon general.

Meanwhile, the Little Mad King, dressed in a cult uniform, mingled among the cult soldiers and entered the treasure vault with them.

This allowed them to evade the various defensive devices prepared to target the Netherworld Path assassins.

On the third floor, she shed her disguise, used her abilities, and followed Li Ye into the fourth floor.

"How are you feeling?" Little Mad King asked.

"It's a bit of a stretch. Being chased by so many people is too exciting." Li Yelai took off his helmet, and only then did Little Mad King see that there was a lot of blood on his mouth and nose.

Even his physical body couldn't withstand the impact of such density and intensity.

“The risk was still too great. I didn’t expect there to be a sealed overlord-level being.” After wiping the blood from his mouth and nose, Li Yelai said, “Now, we don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

Li Yelai removed his mask before entering the treasure vault.

Those ancient powerhouses have already set their sights on him, so he doesn't need to increase his strength and attract more danger.

Otherwise, even if you enter the treasure vault, there is still a possibility of danger.

At least it's safe now.
"Now, it's my most anticipated time for free shopping!"

Li Yelai grinned. Today's devastating blow to the main headquarters was just the appetizer. The real losses were yet to come! Loot the treasure vault! There was no time to lose!

Then, Li Yelai ran towards the fifth floor, touching the mysterious substances and extraordinary materials around him with both hands.

True Martial Path, Auspicious Weapons! Spiritual Eye Path, Devouring Chaotic Eyes!
The path to zero, a raging inferno! The path of divine control, a sealed star!

A path of rambling thoughts, where royal power reigns supreme.
The bone marrow, thunder horn, magic vein, scales, and tendrils of a six-sense extraordinary being.
Rare minerals, fiery red gold, demonic copper, and celestial white stone.
Mine, all mine!
Take them all away!
As Li Yelai rushed forward, he casually placed more than twenty kinds of mysterious substances and a large amount of high-level extraordinary materials along the way.

But he didn't linger. Instead, he went to the door of the fifth floor and opened it with the keystone.

The really good stuff is all on the fifth floor. After you've emptied the fifth floor, then you can go to the fourth.

As the door opened, the oppressive feeling that made Li Yelai feel uncomfortable returned.

The head of the Chaos Demon is still terrifying!
But now that Li Ye has advanced to the fifth level of perception, he can block out this oppressive feeling.

"This head can't be left here." Li Yelai glanced at the great demon's head, which could be considered a Chaos Sacred Artifact.

With enough blood sacrifice, a Great Demon projection can be summoned.

If the number of blood sacrifices is greater, it may even be possible to summon the true form of the Great Demon to descend into the physical world.

It can be said to be one of the headquarters' trump cards!

We must take this with us; even if we can't use it, we can't leave it to the church.

Li Yelai placed his hands on his head, but felt a sense of fear wash over him, and he was unable to put them into the Ark's storage space.

Moreover, the head seemed to be showing faint signs of revival.

Is it still alive?
This caused Li Yelai's expression to change. He immediately distanced himself, and his head gradually fell silent, no longer moving.

"Be careful, it is the head of the Chaos Demon. It is said that this demon has the power of a king, or even stronger." Little Mad King said, "Don't touch it yet."

"Hmm, it's probably the casualties within the headquarters that are awakening it," Li Yelai said with some regret, but he couldn't care less about anything else.

He looked around; there were still many good things on the fifth floor.

Outside the treasure vault, the followers fought fiercely against the enemy.

"Protect the treasure! We have nowhere left to retreat!"

Inside the treasure vault, Li Yelai picked up the reverse scale of the overlord-level ancient dragon and the core of the overlord-level spiritual plant, and cheerfully placed them into his storage space.

The demon general, bleeding profusely and on the verge of death, roared, "Hold on a little longer! Reinforcements will be here soon!"

Meanwhile, Li Yelai, inside the treasure vault, picked up the mysterious substance belonging to a hegemon-level psionicist: "Good stuff, I'll forge one for the captain when we get back!"

The old demon general fought valiantly, roaring, "Gentlemen, for our lord, for the fallen emperor! Fight to the death, never retreat!"

Inside the treasure vault, Li Yelai found various materials and ores prepared by a great demon for forging a supreme weapon, all of which he took away.

The heroic struggles of the outside world were rewarded with Li Yelai's unrestrained taking.

They practically emptied out all the good stuff on the fifth floor, leaving only some dangerous and forbidden items.

They are sealed by the church with blood-sealing crystals. If they get out of control, these forbidden items alone will be enough to cause serious trouble for the headquarters.

Li Yelai carefully examined these forbidden items; there were twenty-one forbidden items.

The ones that showed significant effects are as follows.

The Dimensional Slash Blade can temporarily sever space.

Create a temporary dimensional space where it is very safe.

The cost is that the user's mind will be distorted, and for a long time, they will believe that they are a weapon.

The previous user thought he was a hammer, and he smashed it headfirst into the blade of the Night Scouts, startling them all.

There is also a die, the Happy Twelve-Sided Dice.

It is a twelve-sided die.

By using dice, you can gain either a buff or a debuff based on the number rolled.

Similar to the Lucky Wheel, but this provides temporary buffs or debuffs. It lasts for one hour and can be used multiple times.

The price is that after using it ten times consecutively, on the eleventh use, one will lose their memory for a week.

The last one is a mirror.

It is said to have been stolen from the Blissful Sect.

The effect is to reverse its own attributes.

For example, a psionicist on the path to zero has the highest psionic strength at the same level, but the weakest physique.

If he uses this kind of mirror, his spiritual energy strength and physical strength will be swapped.

In essence, he became a True Martial Path Psionicist with the ability to return to the zero path.

The effect is naturally very good. It greatly increases the user's tolerance for errors.

However, the cost is that it changes in color during use.

If the mirror can no longer be used, then there is no going back.

This was regarded as a divine artifact by those hedonistic madmen of the Bliss faction.

So much so that when the Blood God faction obtained this forbidden item, they felt disgusted.

They had no idea how many of the beautiful women they had captured were originally men. So, they killed all the prisoners.

In short, these three forbidden items are still usable; as for the others...

They are all somewhat useless, or too dangerous.

Li Yelai couldn't very well move all the forbidden items away, since forbidden items are difficult to destroy.

If the church cannot find any evidence of this afterward, it will inevitably become suspicious.

Therefore, Li Yelai only took away these three forbidden items.

Then, they returned to the fourth floor and took all the mysterious substances there. It's normal that the mysterious substances are easily damaged and can't be found later.

Some extraordinary materials were retained.

After doing all this, Li Yelai took out the lucky wheel. (End of this chapter)
