Even the newly manifested projection of the Chaos Demon possesses the formidable power to severely injure a hegemon.

Although not at the supreme level, it is definitely a peak overlord.

And it will become even more powerful after committing numerous killings and receiving more blood sacrifices, until its true form descends.

Even a powerful demonic projection could not withstand this terrifying natural disaster.

He withstood the mountain, dragged the treasure vault, and angrily resisted the abyssal rift with both hands. He wanted to protect the treasure vault for the headquarters, and also to save his own head left in the physical world.

This is one of his means of returning to the physical world, and also one of the church's trump cards.

But even the projection of the Great Demon could not withstand the terrifying power of that natural disaster.

The projected arms snapped, and with a roar, it was completely swallowed up by the closing abyss, along with the mountain and the treasure vault.

The cracked earth suddenly closed up at that moment, and the two sides of the abyss collided violently as if driven by a mysterious force, accompanied by a deafening roar.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the once bottomless ravine disappeared without a trace, replaced by a towering mountain.

From the depths of this newly formed mountain, a stream of green magma containing terrifyingly high temperatures erupted.

The lava had an eerie and captivating green hue, as if it possessed some kind of mysterious power.

The sound of the magma eruption was deafening, accompanied by rolling heat waves and a strong smell of sulfur, giving people an indescribable sense of awe and reverence.

Everything around seemed insignificant under the impact of this force, leaving only the newly formed giant mountain and the gushing green lava as the most dazzling existence in the world.

The natural disaster that Li Yelai brought was not an earthquake, but a volcanic eruption!

What? There are no volcanoes in the Qinling Mountains? Then let's create one!
Thus, the Blood God headquarters acquired a bizarre volcano, which seemed to contain some kind of extraordinary mineral—a huge windfall!

Of course, the Blood God faction is probably not very happy.
In that instant, the opposing psionicists fled quickly.

The power of the volcanic eruption directly sent many sixth-level experts flying; at least they were not yet capable of resisting the immense power of a natural disaster.

Massive amounts of volcanic ash surged forth, obscuring the entire sky. Many surviving soldiers were engulfed and scalded to death by the volcanic ash; even low-level psionicists had their psionic barriers instantly depleted and were burned to death.

Even restricted areas and mega-cities thousands of kilometers away have noticed the astonishing changes happening here.

Li Yelai also felt the intense impact behind him. After escaping the treasure vault, he moved at full speed. After escaping the battlefield, he removed his mask.

He dared not keep his face painted anymore; under these circumstances, if another enemy or some unexpected event occurred, Mr. Shadow would probably be laughing himself silly.

Hidden in the shadows, the Little Mad King reached out and grabbed his shoulder, transforming into a streak of black smoke that shot straight towards him.

She demonstrated the formidable mobility of the Netherworld Path, carrying Li Yelai across more than ten kilometers at a rapid pace.

Even after running this far, it still cannot be said to be safe. At the moment of the volcanic eruption, lava and debris gushed out, and there were also collapsed sections of the mountain crashing down.

Even if Facebook is shut down, Li Yelai's misfortune will continue for some time.

Thus, in this environment, Li Yelai felt the intense malice of the world.

They were repeatedly struck by lava and boulders during their escape.

Li Yelai was dragged along by Little Mad King's right hand, while his left hand activated the Mimicry Crimson Thunder Dragon Claw.

He repeatedly used his thunder spear and thunder blade to shatter the boulders.

Or they could use the Blood God's Sevenfold Shield to shield the two from the lava.

"Your curse is far too powerful!" The Little Mad King swung his sword with one hand, shattering a boulder.

"It's not that my curse is too strong, it's that the Lucky Wheel is too strong!" Li Yelai gritted his teeth and activated the Blood God Sevenfold Shield again. It blocked a large pool of green lava: "The Lucky Wheel should be ranked as a Class A forbidden item! It's really difficult for it to be a mere Class B! It can even create a volcano, and it's still only Class B?"

"It's probably because we've drawn two natural disasters in a row. After all, no one but you can draw two!" Little Mad King replied, looking at the distant scene. "If I could, I really wish this volcanic eruption were more violent and completely destroy the headquarters, but it seems it's stopped here."

The volcano continued to erupt, but beneath the Oracle Palace in the heart of the headquarters, hundreds of believers sacrificed themselves in prayer. They drew their swords and severed their own heads, which continued to fall to the ground even after they had been severed, uttering obscure prayers.

The headless corpse held its head aloft and knelt before the oracle's palace. It was eerie and bloody.
Then, his entire body burst into flames, turning into scarlet fire.

The next second, a towering red aura swept across the heavens and earth.

With the sacrifices of the Blood God cultists, a certain deity responded to them.

Within the illusory realm, a colossal crimson throne appeared, upon which a four-armed giant reigned supreme.

That is the God of Slaughter under the command of the Blood God!

Two arms emerged from the flames, spanning tens of kilometers, and pressed down on the erupting volcano, forcibly extinguishing it! They even managed to suppress all the volcanic ash!
The god of battle suppresses natural disasters!

This is one of the main headquarters' defensive measures, which can force the gods to intervene once!
“That’s the God of Battle, do you think He’s a king-level powerhouse?” Li Yelai asked.

"I don't know, and I've never seen the old man make a move. The church's foundation is still strong." Little Mad King sighed softly.

Seeing the blood on her body, Li Yelai took out the Jing family's medicine from the ark and handed it to her, replying, "But this time, it can be considered that they have suffered serious damage."

Little Mad King took the potion and replied, "Then I'll go back first. Take care of yourself."

With that, he disappeared into the darkness.

When they saw Li Yelai, covered in dust, emerge from the shattered valley.

The followers who are searching for their mother in the mountains are happier than if they had seen their own mother.

The demon general Jiang Yong arrived in front of Li Yelai a few minutes later.

Covered in blood, he knelt on one knee and bowed, saying, "Lord Emperor Yun, how are your injuries?"

"With the Blood God's protection, we won't die," Li Yelai replied in a deep voice. "How are you? What about the Old Demon General? Have all the enemies been eliminated?"

"It's good that you're alright. The old demon general is seriously injured, while two of us demon generals have sacrificed our lives." Jiang Yong said with a sorrowful expression.

Although he belonged to the Chosen of Slaughter Gods, he did not get along well with the Chosen of Emperor's Fall Gods.

But he was still a comrade of the Blood God faction. Now that he saw that Li Yelai was alright, he felt much relieved, but the thought of his comrade of more than ten years dying still caused him great pain.

"As for those resurrected ones, we killed four of them. The remaining overlord and the other six awakened ones escaped from the main headquarters and are fleeing towards the forbidden zone, Black Origin City. Demon General Luo Ze is leading his elite forces to intercept them!" Jiang Yong said. Demon General Luo Ze is the only overlord-level powerhouse among the seven demon generals chosen by the God of Slaughter.

He and the old demon general are currently the strongest fighting force in the headquarters.

Li Yelai waited until he left the headquarters before launching his operation.

"Is all of this in Black Source City related to them?" Li Yelai asked.

“It’s unclear at the moment, but it’s speculated that these resurrected individuals are connected to the forbidden civilization of Black Origin City. Therefore, they went to the forbidden zone seeking refuge.” Seeing Li Yelai’s grim expression, Jiang Yong’s heart tightened, and he immediately replied, “Sir, this matter will not be left like this. If this incident is truly related to Black Origin City, we will definitely retaliate!”

"Yes, I really want to know, how did they know the exact location of those ancient beings?" Li Yelai looked at Jiang Yong with an unfriendly expression: "Even I don't know where these people are, how did they know? And how did they revive?"

"We will definitely investigate this thoroughly!" Cold sweat beaded on Jiang Yong's forehead as he repeatedly replied, "We will certainly give you an explanation!"

"You'd better give me an explanation!" Li Yelai sneered. "Investigate who exactly has access to those sealed beings!"

Turning the tables on me, that's satisfying!
Li Yelai was secretly pleased.

But in Jiang Yong's opinion, Emperor Yun did indeed have reason to be angry.

He was the biggest victim of this incident. The outer defense line of the headquarters was attacked, and Emperor Yun led the Fifth Legion to set out to support the front line.

As a result, those ancient creatures revived one after another along the way. The location of those ancient creatures was known only to a very few high-ranking people, and it was kept under strict protection so that it would not be easily disturbed.

However, at that time, those ancient beings revived and began to hunt down Emperor Yun.

There must be a traitor within the church's upper echelons! Who is it? This must be thoroughly investigated! Every high-ranking member whose position is known is a suspect!

A chosen one, leading an army, is being hunted down by a group of ancient creatures in the inner ring of the main headquarters! How frustrating must that be?

Furthermore, after taking refuge in the treasure vault, a terrible geological disaster occurred inside, almost trapping Emperor Yun to death.

The enemy went to great lengths to kill Lord Emperor Yun, even creating a volcano!
As the person in charge of security at the headquarters, Jiang Yong is undoubtedly responsible for the leak of secrets and the security crisis of the Emperor's fall!

But how could he have imagined that Li Yelai himself had orchestrated all of this? Hehehe.
Li Yelai chuckled inwardly, but his face remained grim: "What are our losses? Where is the Fifth Legion? Where are my servants and guards, my demon generals?"

"My lord." Jiang Yong hesitated for a moment, then told the truth with a gloomy expression.

The Fifth Legion was scattered, with some scattered across the battlefield near the treasury. Others followed Li Ye into the treasury.

As a result, during the treasure vault crisis, Li Yelai escaped, while most of the others disappeared into the volcano along with the treasure vault.

The Guardian River did escape the treasure vault, but was killed by a volcanic eruption.

The Fifth Army Corps suffered heavy losses on the nearby battlefield, with fewer than a thousand soldiers found so far, and the rest are still being searched for.

Two of Li Yelai's chosen servants survived, as did the demon general Bai Ya. They survived because they were unable to enter the treasure vault in order to hold off the ancient powerhouse.

As for the other legions, they also suffered considerable losses.

Because it happened so suddenly, many vampires in the nearby legion's camp were wiped out while they were still asleep. Who the hell could have imagined that enemies would appear near their own camp?

Of the seven legions at the headquarters, the First, Fifth, and Sixth Legions were almost completely wiped out. The final volcanic eruption destroyed most of their soldiers.

"Not only that, the treasure vault is also completely gone." Jiang Yong looked desperate: "Currently, the old demon general is going deep into the crater to explore the volcano, hoping to find some forbidden items in the treasure vault that are difficult to destroy. That's something to look forward to, but other mysterious substances and the like are probably completely out of the question."

The treasure vault was rich in resources, but it was first swallowed by the abyss, which then formed a volcano.

Even if the treasure vault is incredibly sturdy, it's currently submerged in lava.

The supplies inside were probably all destroyed.

But the old demon general, who had guarded the treasure vault for many years, had gone completely mad. Despite his severe injuries, he charged into the lava to search for the vault.

“That’s the culmination of decades of accumulation at headquarters.” Li Yelai also showed a pained expression: “Let the old demon general come back and heal his injuries first.”

"Yes!" The battered Jiang Yong saluted again.

In fact, Li Yelai was already trying his best to restrain himself when he spoke.

He almost burst out laughing.

Well, these are all good news!

Moreover, no one would suspect him. Putting aside his status as the chosen one, his status as the biggest victim alone is enough to clear him of all suspicion.

"Fortunately, at the last moment, the great god of battle intervened. At least the entire headquarters wasn't destroyed," Li Yelai said.

“When the adults were attacked, they began to pray. But in the end, it was only enough to suppress the volcano,” Jiang Yong sighed. “This was a huge conspiracy against you. But thankfully, you are still alive.”

"Investigate! Find out who attacked us, who released the ancient creatures, and who created this volcano!" Li Yelai said in a deep voice. "Also, Black Source City! They are highly suspicious. Whether they sent infiltrators or corrupted their members, I need to know the truth!"

"Yes, sir! Please go back and rest. We will take care of these!" Jiang Yong said respectfully.

Li Yelai first went to check on his subordinates, the remnants of the Fifth Legion, as well as his two servants and the demon general Bai Ya.

After they were found, they were placed in a fortress in a valley.

But the moment Li Yelai appeared, they were deeply moved.

The injured White Cliff Demon General even wanted to get up and bow to Li Yelai.

Li Yelai pressed down on her shoulder and said, "Alright, take good care of your injuries. You are my only demon general."

"Yes!" Bai Ya felt the warmth of Li Yelai's palm, his eyes filled with tears, and he nodded repeatedly.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Li Yelai became even more fervent.

Then, Li Yelai said to the two servants, "Since He Liu sacrificed himself, you will be my personal guards. Even if you are crippled, you will still be my Emperor's personal guards."

"Yes!" the two servants replied, sobbing, feeling that Lord Emperor was too great.

Afterwards, Li Yelai addressed the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Legion: "Your loyalty and bravery have proven everything. I will rebuild the Fifth Legion. If this incident is indeed related to Black Source City, I will lead you on an expedition! We will make Black Source City give us an explanation!"

"Yes! All for Lord Emperor's Demise!" (End of Chapter)
