Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Upon seeing the bronze surface, Qin Zhi couldn't help but entertain this absurd thought.

There are quite a few five-sense psychics in this world; perhaps the two are just somewhat similar? Qin subconsciously refuted his own conjecture.

After all, he was just a traitor who had once been a nobody under Jin Jia's command, who seized power through scheming and trickery and gained the favor of the book holder.

The other one is a noble chosen one from the Blood God faction! He is deeply loved by the Blood God and is given the name Emperor Fall, which is considered the highest level of naming among the chosen ones.

He is very likely to ascend to the demon realm and become the Chaos Prince.

The difference in their identities is too great; even if they both possess the five senses, they shouldn't be the same person.
Qin Zhi tried hard to convince himself to get rid of this idea.

Or rather, he didn't want to admit that one of the golden-armored subordinates, a weak psionicist he once looked down upon, had transformed into the Blood God's Chosen, whom he had to treat with utmost respect.
How is this possible?
Qin Zhi had just met Emperor's Chosen last night, and although the bronze-faced figure not far away differed slightly from Emperor's Chosen in size and build, these differences could be disguised; Qin Zhi himself had done so before.

Moreover, the bronze surface did give him a certain sense of déjà vu.

This made Qin Zhi think carefully. If the bronze mask really was the Fallen Emperor, then he would have to be careful.

Moreover, the other party should know my identity, so how should I deal with this?
No, if the bronze mask is indeed Emperor's Fall, then I can say that I know his identity.

Both of them are equally unwilling to let the outside world know their identities as Ark voters.

Qin Zhi quickly thought it over and decided to test the bronze mask later.

Li Yelai was also glancing at Qin Zhi and Liu Sheng out of the corner of his eye, hoping that the wilderness wanderer would destroy their bodies with a single arrow.

By this time, most of the Ark voters had already taken their seats.

The two powerful figures from the second ring, the Book Holder and Jinshan, were absent.

The former is normal; they are unlikely to appear at rallies anyway.

The latter is unusual; Jinshan has never missed a gathering. As the supreme ruler of the restricted area, he is very keen on obtaining intelligence from the outside world. It is said that he has never missed one.

It's unclear what happened, but even a supreme figure in the restricted area didn't have time for the gathering.

Meanwhile, everyone noticed the vacancy of the black umbrella again; it had been absent twice in a row, and even its representative had not entered the gathering.

"What about Black Umbrella? I was hoping he could craft some ashes summons," a voter asked. Black Umbrella's summons were highly sought after within the Ark, and many Ark voters had traded with him.

"Forget about it. I contacted him from inside the Ark more than half a month ago. As it turned out, I learned from the captain that he was dead and his ticket had been cancelled," a voter said quietly.

"The Corpse Calamity Apostle is dead?" Someone who knew Black Umbrella's identity exclaimed in shock. "He once single-handedly suppressed a massive organization with just his umbrella. Who killed him?"

The death of Black Umbrella shocked many voters, who were somewhat aware of Black Umbrella's strength; he was practically invincible among the Six Senses.

He was known as the Corpse Apostle, and once single-handedly defeated a sizable psionic organization.

He became famous in the wilderness and established his own power. He was definitely a figure in the wilderness.

But now he died quietly.
"Does anyone know how he died?" an Ark voter asked.

A female voter in a seat in the third ring spoke up: "According to reliable sources, he was involved in the internal strife of the Ember Church and perished together with the chosen ones of the Blood God faction."

A being from the fourth ring of the forbidden zone spoke up: "I also learned that two of the Blood God faction's Sixth Awakening Chosen died in the war against the Immortal faction. Could one of them be Black Umbrella?"

"That makes sense. Black Umbrella has a good relationship with the Immortal Faction. Their cooperation is probably aimed at finding more high-quality corpses. It's a pity that this time, he became a corpse."

"Replacing one of the Chosen Ones of Chaos, that Black Umbrella has done something for humanity in a way." Another man in the fourth seat laughed, "It's good that the dogs are fighting."

"Be careful. Among the many voters here, there are probably some of the Chosen Ones of Chaos," a voter reminded them.

"What? They can bite me?" the male voter sneered. "If we really met, it's hard to say who would kill whom."

"Don't be too complacent. Not everyone in this world is a champion. There are almost none among those of the same level who can rival the Chosen One," someone said calmly.

"That's hard to say." Li Yelai, a Chosen One of Chaos, also said with a smile, "Two Chosen Ones died in one go, which means that the Chosen Ones are not invincible. If any Chosen One is not convinced, they can have a match with me. Of course, they need to be of the same level."

"Oh ho, Copper Face, you're certainly showing off your skills," the scholar laughed.

"It's just bragging, they can't find me anyway." Li Yelai shrugged and laughed. "If they really do come looking for me, I can notify the authorities."

"Hahaha. This is it: a fierce attack online, but a meek and submissive attitude in reality." The voters laughed.

At the same time, several unfriendly gazes were also directed at Li Yelai.

Qin Zhi was somewhat puzzled. Would the Chosen One of the Fallen Emperor really say such a thing? Or was it a deliberate pretense? Or had he guessed wrong?
In fact, Li Yelai is not afraid of any chosen one at the same level.

"What a pity, Black Umbrella's ashes summoned creatures." The other Ark voters only sighed briefly before changing the subject and starting their own transactions.

The voters inside the ark had little personal relationship with each other; their interactions were mostly based on mutual benefit.

While Black Umbrella was alive, it was an important trading partner.

And the black umbrella that died, well, it's dead, isn't it?

No one will say anything about avenging the Black Umbrella or anything like that.

So, as the rally began, the voters started making their own deals.

Li Yelai then approached Chu He.

"Lord Chuhe, shall we have a talk?" Li Yelai said.

“Okay, let’s keep it private.” Chu He nodded.

Then, the two entered a private space where all the sounds and lights around them became blurred.

Only two seats exist in this hall.

“I’m sorry, Copperface. I promised you I would bring you the Silverwing Star before the gathering. That was my plan.” Chu He spread his hands and said, “But the Silverwing Star is very fast. It wasn’t until a few hours ago that I found an opportunity to kill it in one blow.”

Li Yelai was taken aback. He'd thought Chu He's hunt had failed after so long without him contacting him. Had he actually succeeded?

"Killed in one move?" Li Yelai exclaimed in surprise. The Heavenly Comet Ancient Dragon, known as the Silver Winged Fiend Star by the natives of the forbidden zone, was a hegemon-level ancient dragon!
Although it is much smaller than Granzanx, which is also an Elder Dragon, its speed and defense are higher than other Elder Dragons.

It was a dominant force, to some extent.
How could Chu He kill someone with a single blow? He didn't even kill Gulansangx this easily before, did he?

"You don't think I'm just recklessly charging in, do you?" Chu He chuckled. "I'm not like some people who are followers of the Blood God, so I don't stand on ceremony."

As the chosen one of the Blood God, Li Ye thought to himself, "Actually, I'm not that particular."

"When Silverwing Star was fighting for territory with another powerful supernatural being, my companions and I joined forces. Even a Seventh Awakening Ancient Dragon could not defend against a sneak attack from another overlord and three Sixth Awakening beings when facing an overlord who was no less powerful than itself."

"Moreover, you have the blessing from Chaos, and I naturally have the blessing from that being as well," Chu He said. "I have an extremely strong special attack against non-human beings. When facing non-humans, I can unleash almost 150% of my original power!" A special attack against non-humans? And with an additional 50% boost?

Isn't this too outrageous?
The blessing the Blood God bestowed upon the chosen ones only increased melee damage by 30%.

Moreover, this special attack targets non-human beings—those beings in forbidden zones, supernatural creatures, and those victims who have been completely twisted. They are all within the scope of this special attack!
Holy crap, they really have racial germophobia.

Li Yelai sighed with emotion. No wonder the Chaos Believers were so powerful; such a blessing could greatly enhance their combat strength.

Especially for Chu He and his companions, who were trapped in the lost territory, they were surrounded by creatures from forbidden zones and extraordinary beings. They were completely enveloped.

This is perhaps why Chu He and others are willing to worship the Fifth God.
Moreover, Li Yelai was also very envious of this blessing.

A 50% increase. If he could obtain his strongest attack, the Annihilation Spear, wouldn't it be enough to severely injure a Sixth Awakening?
"I'll have to 'sleep' with Him sooner or later," Li Yelai muttered. The Fifth God was also added to the freebie-seeking queue.

"What did you say?" Chu He asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if the corpse of that Sky Comet Dragon is well preserved?" Li Yelai asked.

“You told me to try to preserve the integrity of his body as much as possible,” Chu He said. “That’s why I killed him with one blow, but I destroyed his heart. You probably won’t be able to extract anything good from it.”

The heart of an ancient dragon is extremely precious and is used in the recipes for some potions. It contains the powerful essence of an ancient dragon's energy.

Some ancient dragons can even be resurrected through the power left in their hearts.

Therefore, potions infused with the blood of an ancient dragon, once twisted and out of control, will transform the user into a half-human, half-dragon state. That is the power of the ancient dragon at work.

But Li Yelai didn't care about that. All he wanted was the ancient dragon's corpse. A broken heart didn't matter; he didn't need the dragon's power inheritance. As long as the brain was intact, that was enough. The corpse puppet needed a complete body and brain. Losing the heart would at most reduce its power.

Otherwise, what else can be done? In order to kill the body and brain without damaging them, what other methods are there besides shattering the heart?
"It's alright. Thank you!" Li Yelai replied.

"I'm rather curious. Black Umbrella is already dead. Even if you obtain the ancient dragon's complete corpse, you probably won't be able to refine it into a bone ash summoning artifact," Chu He asked. "What do you plan to do with the corpse?"

“The summoned creatures made from the ashes of the Black Umbrella can only maintain 30% of their combat power. Burning the corpse of an ancient dragon would be too wasteful,” Li Yelai replied. “I have my own ideas.”

"Alright, I won't ask any more questions then," Chu He said. "Shall I give it to you now?"

"Okay." Li Yelai nodded, immediately stood up, and quickly distanced himself.

Immediately, huge golden ripples appeared above the hall.

The next second, the dragon's corpse crashed down from the center, slamming heavily into the hall.

It's fortunate that it happened in a private space; otherwise, this act of smashing something could have knocked down a whole group of Ark voters.

It was a huge ancient dragon with a streamlined body.

It is 20 meters long, 13 meters tall, and has an estimated wingspan of 30 meters, making it a relatively small species among ancient dragons.

Its entire body is covered with silver scales, each scale seemingly polished by time, radiating a captivating luster.

The dragon's tail and limbs were long and slender, curving gracefully like a dancer in a magnificent gown. Its enormous, sharp wings were even more awe-inspiring, gleaming a dark red under the lights, like burning flames.

Each dragon wing has three nozzle-like organs, which are said to be able to spew out powerful psionic flames like dragon breath.

When attacking, it will point its dragon wings at the enemy and spew out six streams of psionic flames comparable to dragon breath!
When moving, its dragon wings twist backward and spew flames, allowing it to move at high speeds like a jet fighter, easily breaking the sound barrier.

Transformed into a shooting star in the sky
However, it's unclear how many Mach it can reach; in any case, it's easy to get hit and killed if you're not careful.

At the same time, its defensive capabilities are astonishing; even without a psionic barrier, its scales are enough to block many attacks.

If Chu He hadn't received the blessing of the Fifth God, greatly increasing his attack power and delivering a sneak attack that pierced through the heart, it really wouldn't have been easy to defeat him.

It must be said that this comet dragon is the most scientifically accurate-looking of all the ancient dragons.
"This is the Heavenly Comet Dragon." Li Yelai exclaimed in admiration as he looked at the ancient dragon before him.

"You can check it out in the private space. I'm going out to trade with someone else first," Chu He said upon seeing this.

"Okay." Li Yelai nodded.

After Chu He left, Li Yelai took out the scarlet reins and put them around the neck of the Heavenly Comet Dragon.

The reins merged into the dragon's body the moment they touched the Sky Comet.

Immediately, Li Yelai channeled spiritual energy into the reins.

The next second, Li Ye felt his soul extend. The Heavenly Comet Dragon seemed to have become a part of him.

The Heavenly Comet opened its closed eyes, dragged Li Yelai slowly to its feet, spread its huge dragon wings, and unleashed a terrifying spiritual energy pressure!

"Not bad, Old Ma No. 4!" Li Yelai laughed as he named it.

He finally became an Ancient Dragon Knight. This feeling is amazing!

Whether it was due to the residual power of the Heavenly Comet Dragon or not, Li Yelai wanted to immediately unleash flames and soar through the void starry sky.

Li Yelai suppressed his impulse and then controlled the Heavenly Comet Dragon to shrink its body.

Then, the Sky Comet was placed into the storage space.

Thankfully, there was enough space and the Sky Comet was relatively small. Otherwise, it really wouldn't have fit.

Now, I can take out the Sky Comet Dragon at any time and become a dragon knight!

With the speed of the Heavenly Comet, the Shadow Army's "Moving Like Thunder" and "Swift as the Wind" abilities are amplified.

The psionic version of the Hawk-21 can cripple or even kill even a sixth-awakened being!

Li Yelai left the private space and returned to the hall.

Sitting in his seat, he pondered, "Who could it be?"

"The next guy to die on 'Cute Star Flying Collision'."

"The Chosen One, Burning Howl?"

"Is it still that Six-Awakening Demon General who infiltrated the giant city?"

Li Ye looked at Qin Zhi and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

"Anyway, it won't be you." (End of Chapter)
