Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

To everyone's surprise, a red-gold orb of light, never before seen, appeared and landed on Li Yelai.

Then, the ball of light entered Li Yelai's body, and an arrow appeared in his hand.

This greatly shocked the officials and the psionicists of various families, as the highest reward they had ever received in previous challenges was only a red one.

Li Yelai, however, unleashed a red-gold orb of light, signifying that he had delivered his strongest output to date.
This made many psionicists' eyes light up. After all, the red reward was already incredibly generous!
Powerful protection enhances individual combat capabilities.

A complete inheritance of a single path is enough to collectively enhance the combat power of psionicists along that path.

Even if it's a secret treasure or a forbidden item, it will have an extremely powerful effect!
It's safe to say that anything red is good. And that even more luxurious red-gold might have an even stronger heritage!

This aroused the interest of many family members, who all approached, intending to have a proper conversation with Li Yelai.

However, the next second.

Not far away, on the broken mountain range, large sections of rock shattered and collapsed like a tsunami, as if the mountain had fallen!

This caused the powerful figures who were originally about to surround them to change their expressions and quickly distance themselves.

Li Yelai rode the somewhat lame Yayu. Clouds rose beneath Yayu's feet, and the swiftly swiftly broke through the area of ​​falling rocks, hovering in mid-air.

If disaster strikes, you must not linger on the ground.

Given Li Yelai's unfortunate circumstances, if he were to dodge falling objects and move quickly on the ground, he might step on a manhole cover or some inconspicuous ditch. Moving in that spot would then trigger a series of misfortunes, including but not limited to runaway dump trucks, falling billboards, or sudden thunderstorms.

In the desolate wilderness, keeping oneself in open mid-air is the best way to avoid danger.

Only when the rocks stopped moving did Li Yelai ride Yayu back to the ground.

"Night General Captain, have you received any inheritance?" an official captain asked.

For individuals, blessings and secret treasures are naturally the best rewards, as they can directly enhance individual strength.

However, for the authorities, the best option is to enhance the inheritance of collective combat power.

“Unfortunately, it seems I have received a blessing, and” Li Yelai raised the arrow in his hand: “this arrow.”

The official captain was somewhat disappointed; having secured a share of the True Martial Path's inheritance was something that other psionicists were extremely envious of. Nevertheless, he said, "Congratulations, Captain Night General."

"There are actually two kinds of rewards?"

"That's true. After all, the red reward is already quite amazing, and the higher red and gold rewards are probably just an increase in quantity."

"Captain Night General, you can deal this much damage with your fifth awakening. What will you be like after your sixth awakening?"

"Don't forget, Captain Night is a path of all phenomena. Once he obtains the Mythical Mimicry, his combat power will undergo a qualitative change."

"You're so strong, how come you're not the champion heir? Who exactly does your team want to be the champion?"

Faced with his comrades' praise, Li Yelai responded somewhat awkwardly, "It's difficult to deal this much damage in battle. This time, it was all thanks to the assistance of my comrades."

This isn't Li Yelai being modest; his annihilation lightning has a very high upper limit, mainly due to the amount of lightning available in that area.

If the doll hadn't summoned the lightning for him beforehand, his damage probably wouldn't have been so terrifying.

Moreover, in the end, it's all about dealing this kind of extreme damage.

He performed many monkey shows.

He used three masks, employed several abilities, and even injured himself. What opportunity like that exists in a real battle?

It's rare to have the opportunity to perform so many monkey shows.

However, the rewards this time are indeed generous.

“If what I just saw is not mistaken, this is the Golden Arrow that shot down the sun,” Li Yelai said.

"Shooting down the sun?" An official frowned. "The one who shot down the sun, the one called Yi the Archer?"

"These myths and legends are actually true?"

"We found many monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas among the extraordinary creatures. Doesn't that prove anything?"

"The Void Realm is vast and boundless; perhaps our myths and legends are merely messages transmitted by some Void Realm civilization. Just like this Celestial Palace."

"But this myth is extraordinary. Yi shooting down the sun... Could it be that this arrow possessed the power to destroy the sun?"

"Alright, hurry up and get out there, fire an arrow into the penalty area! Smash that king of the penalty area!"

"If we really had the power to shoot the sun apart, we would probably be doomed if we did."

"In mythology, Yi shot down the golden crow, right?"

"Lieyang, come and take a look. Do you see any familiar scents?"

The golden arrowhead of the Sun-Shooting Arrow was gold, and the shaft was red, with mysterious patterns engraved on it. Additionally, the arrow was stained with blood.

Captain Lieyang leaned closer for a look, and after feeling a sense of familiarity, he exclaimed, "It seems the myth is true. There's the aura of the Lieyang Golden Crow in these bloodstains. This arrow must have killed at least one powerful Lieyang Golden Crow. Night General, if you ever use this arrow again, let me know so I can run far away and not blow me up too."

Captain Lieyang's mythical form is the Golden Crow of the Sun. Upon seeing the Golden Arrow that Shoots the Sun, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

This made Li Yelai's heart stir. Had he killed the Blazing Sun Golden Crow?
If I touch this arrow now, wouldn't that mean I'm now entangled in karma with the Fiery Golden Crow?

If Li Yelai uses the Regretless Gem to advance to the sixth awakening, he can choose the mythical form of the Blazing Golden Crow.

very good!

Having only been in the Celestial Palace for a few days, Li Yelai had already come into contact with quite a few mythical creatures. He had even killed quite a few of them.

Now, Li Yelai has confirmed that he can choose from five mythological mimicry forms.

Nine Infants, Suanyu, Fengxi, Yayu, and the blazing sun and golden crow just now.

'I never thought I'd have the freedom to choose my own face,' Li Yelai thought to himself. He then said, 'However, the treasury gave me the arrow, but not the bow, nor did it tell me how to revive the arrow.'

The official captain, whose eyes possessed a spiritual eye path, slightly brightened as he used some kind of ability to peer into the hidden power within the arrow.

But amidst the endless golden flames, a tightly closed eye was seen.

His expression was grave: "Within this arrow lies a dormant consciousness."

"A living being in an artifact? Could it be a forbidden object? Something like the Shattered Star Spear?" someone asked.

“Very likely,” the captain replied. “But without reviving it, it’s just a tough arrow.” “Night General, now that you’ve obtained such a treasure, perhaps only you can find a way to revive it. You should keep it for now.”

Li Yelai nodded slightly.

Then someone asked, "So what is your blessing?"

The blessing of the red and gold reward will definitely enhance the individual combat power of the recipient.

"This blessing, named 'Rainbow Piercing the Sun,' increases my melee attack by 3% and my ranged attack by 5%."

"It's not bad, but the upgrades are a bit stingy. Top-tier enhancements only increase by 10% or 20%, and it's supposed to be a red-gold reward," an official member complained.

"Anything else?"

As Li Yelai spoke, he walked to a large rock that had been scattered there.

He lunged forward and punched the boulder, creating a dent the size of a washbasin, and some rocks fell to the ground.

The comrades looked at each other, wondering if the power was any different from what they expected.

Li Yelai changed his position and threw another punch, creating a dent of similar size.

They continued to throw nine punches in succession until Li Yelai threw the tenth punch, at which point everyone's expression changed slightly.

The power of this punch far exceeded that of the previous nine punches, directly smashing the entire boulder into two pieces.

[Critical hit!!!∑(Дノ)ノ] The doll holding up the billboard seemed to understand something.

The other psionicists' expressions also changed.

The concept of critical hits doesn't exist among psionicists; some buffs either enhance special attacks against specific species or types.

Either give psionic energy new properties.

Otherwise, why would the same psychic energy suddenly explode?
“That’s right, it’s all about critical hits. The attack boost from Rainbow Piercing the Sun is just icing on the cake. Its real strength lies in the 10% critical hit rate. And within ten hits, it will definitely be a critical hit, with critical hit damage of 300%,” Li Yelai said with a smile.

"Triple critical hit damage? So the faster you attack, the more critical hits you'll trigger?" Lieyang's eyes widened. In the middle of a fierce battle, if you suddenly get a critical hit, who can react in time? Even you don't know when a critical hit happens, let alone the enemy!
"Not only that, if you're lucky enough, you can get critical hits with every strike!" Jing Lin leaned closer and said, "However, with your face like that, it's impossible for you to get critical hits with every strike."

"You talk too much, kid. But you're not wrong, I've had terrible luck. Look, I threw ten punches, and only the tenth one triggered a critical hit," Li Yelai laughed.

"So, your luck is too bad, you can only get a basic lifespan bonus. If you're lucky, you might get something else..." Jing Lin's expression changed as he spoke.

The doll was the first to react [because Xiaoye was very unlucky, so he could only get a critical hit once out of ten attacks (╯﹏╰)b]
[But it's precisely because of his terrible luck that he can be so sure when he'll land a critical hit! (o▽)o]
Yes, Li Yelai's luck is terrible. Even with a critical hit rate, he never lands a critical hit. If he weren't guaranteed a critical hit within ten attempts, he probably wouldn't get one even after a hundred attacks.

But when the blessing that guarantees a violent outcome once every ten times, and his malevolent misfortune, coexist, they are both present.

The two will trigger a wonderful reaction!

Because of my terrible luck, I never get a critical hit, so I can only hope for a critical hit on the last hit.

Isn't this just turning the originally random critical hit rate into a guaranteed critical hit on the tenth hit?
Li Yelai only needs to casually unleash nine attacks, then start his monkey-like antics, stacking damage to deal massive damage, and then deliver a 300% critical hit!
"Holy crap, you can play this kind of bad luck game?" one official team leader exclaimed.

This truly takes misfortune to the extreme! It turns random probability into absolute certainty!

This is a blessing in disguise!
"300%! What a pity, the Divine Treasure Vault can only be challenged once. If you challenge it again now, stack up a critical hit and use that same special move again, you will get an even higher reward!" A captain slapped his thigh in regret.

Another captain gave him an elbow strike, laughing and cursing, "You hit my leg! But you're right, if we could do it again, we might see a different colored reward."

“My attack just now was largely powered by lightning. I’m not sure if my critical strike will also work on lightning. But if I were to challenge it again, the damage I deal would definitely be greater than before,” Li Yelai said with a smile. “However, if it weren’t for the challenge just now, I wouldn’t have received this powerful blessing. I should be content.”

Li Yelai was already very satisfied with his gains.

Then he saw the stone tablet outside the palace gates shimmering with light.

As expected, it was a level of height that was unmatched, firmly surpassing Ye Han!
Li Yelai used his aerial stepping technique to reach the top of the large stone tablet, where he wrote his name in the shimmering light.

Meanwhile, in the crowd at a distance, a wilderness ranger named Yunyue frowned.

She seemed to have sensed the aura of chaos just now, but it vanished in an instant, leaving her unable to pinpoint it.

On the other side, after Li Yelai finished his challenge, it was the doll's turn.

The terrifying aura shifted once more, and the horrifying plasma-like lightning reappeared.

Compared to Li Yelai's monkey show, the puppet show was much simpler.

She stood high in the sky, with the raging purple lightning behind her.

The plasma-like lightning was compressed and twisted. Then, it plummeted straight down!

A terrifying shockwave once again reverberated throughout the entire void, dazzling lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a massive mushroom cloud.

But the barrier protecting the treasure vault remained intact.

The next instant, a red-gold ball of light shot out and landed in the doll's hand, transforming into a gourd with a pattern of white clouds and blue sky.

"Another red-gold reward!"

"The doll is awesome!" the official members cheered in surprise.

The doll didn't linger and landed in front of the huge stone tablet. Looking at Li Yelai's name on the tablet, a smile appeared on her small face hidden under her helmet.

Then, he extended his finger and wrote his own name to the right of Li Yelai's name. After that, he drew a small heart between the two of them.

(..)
Meanwhile, in a valley far from the treasure vault, someone exclaimed, "It's a doll! The doll also yielded a red-gold reward! Just like Lord Emperor's Fall!"

"A doll? How terrifying. A nuclear weapon of the giant city!" one follower exclaimed. "No wonder she's Emperor's woman."

"Just a rumor," Bai Ya said coldly.

Just then, a funny voice rang out from behind Baiya.

"That's right, it must be that woman from the doll. She beat Lord Di Yun to his knees and forced him to go back and become her Star Force's lackey!"

Bai Ya and the others turned around instantly, drew their weapons at top speed, and rushed toward the figure that appeared behind them.

In that instant, they understood the identity of the person who spoke and reacted with the utmost force: they killed him!
But the man, holding his glasses, said with a grin, "No, no, no, you can't even take a joke? I'm here to tell you some information."

"I've found Ye Han, the one you've been looking for!" (End of Chapter)
