Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

As Jing Tianming's breath ceased, the wisp of azure flame on his body, which had terrified even the ghost immortals, was also extinguished completely as it swayed.

Just as the Ghost Immortal had predicted, Jing Tianming's attack was a desperate counterattack in his final moments. As long as he dodged that shot, Jing Tianming would die on his own without the Ghost Immortal even needing to pursue him.

But Jing Tianming left with a smile; he had done everything he could.

He knew that his successor would take over his mission, continue to fight against the demons, illuminate the night of despair, and welcome the dawn of hope.

Meanwhile, in the distant horizon, more and more blue flames were burning fiercely, and a large number of powerful humans were rushing to the rescue.

That wisp of extinguished blue flame seemed to be a signal that attracted countless powerful humans!
This made the ghost immortal's expression turn ugly.

Moreover, something even more troublesome and vicious is approaching. Not already approaching!

The ghost immortal suddenly looked in the direction Jing Tianming had fled.

Almost the instant Jing Tianming's breath ceased, a figure rushed towards the Ghost Immortal against the backdrop of the collapsing waterfall of rubble.

He brandished his halberd, his savage killing intent boiling.

Ghost Immortal's expression changed drastically. In his perception, this human powerhouse seemed to possess the relics of two powerful beings, each tainted with dangerous karma.

One is a tombstone, the burial place of countless gods and demons. In some future, it will surely ascend to the throne.

The other was a golden arrow, within which slumbered a terrifyingly powerful aura. Was that... the Golden Arrow that shot down the sun, the Great Archer Immortal?
If that's the case, then so be it; forcing him to retreat would suffice. We wouldn't even dare kill him, lest we be tainted by the karma associated with that tombstone.

But at this moment, that figure exuded a malevolent aura that even the gods and Buddhas of the heavens hated and loathed. His appearance was like some incomprehensible poison, making the ghost immortal feel a burning sensation in his eyes.

What the hell is that?

Even though he was a ghost immortal, his face was now ugly. He instantly flung his hand away, his sleeves fluttering, and shouted, "Get out of my way!"

The man also roared, "Get out of the way!"

The first human powerhouse to arrive inside the pagoda was naturally Li Ye, who was closest to it.

In fact, Li Yelai's target was not the Ghost Immortal, but the suspended tower behind the Ghost Immortal!
Just over ten seconds ago, Li Yelai also felt an immense sense of fear the moment he saw the blue flames.

This feeling was very ominous, as if some danger was about to befall us.

My body trembled instinctively, and I even felt an urge to escape from here as quickly as possible.

He forced down his fear and charged toward the pagoda with all his might.

At the same time, it directly activated the Divine Demon Stele within the Well of Souls!
Let's see who's tougher!

Mysterious chants emanated from the virtual realm, accompanied by the wailing of countless gods and demons.

Li Yelai's curse of misfortune was amplified to its extreme. It was as if all the malice from the entire world had been concentrated on him.

As he approached the pagoda, the divine radiance emanating from it instantly lost its luster, and the once sturdy structure began to decay and collapse, the entire pagoda tilting towards him! Even a psionicist would be severely injured or even killed if struck by a structure made of this special material.

But Li Yelai disregarded everything else and went against the flow, intending to destroy the entire pagoda.

However, the highest floor of the tower mysteriously floated up into the air, with white tree branches extending out from it.

That area, seemingly isolated from the celestial palace and unaffected by the laws of physics, grew rapidly in mid-air.

Those are branches of the Tree of Time! They've grown so big already?
'It's too late, run!' The voice suddenly appeared in my mind.

'Calamity has struck. Turn back now and you might survive. You're no hero, run!'

'Following your heart's desires, you are afraid of all of this.'

'you'

"Shut up, shut up, there's still time!"

Li Yelai roared and rushed towards the top of the tower, intending to destroy the anchor point.

It's unclear whether it was due to an inevitable curse or simply bad luck.

A ghostly immortal happened to stand in his way.

This made Li Ye extremely irritable, and he immediately switched his mask to show his hatred for Li Yuanba, the one with the most intense hatred!

The divine general's image!

At the same time, the Blue Sky and White Clouds Gourd at his waist opened, and violent purple-gold lightning surged out like a tide, which was grasped by the Dharma Image and refined in an instant!

Mimicry: Crimson Thunder Dragon Claw!
The raging lightning transformed into a giant lightning spear tens of meters long, which was hurled directly at the Ghost Immortal, or rather, at the floating tower behind the Ghost Immortal!

Annihilation Lightning!

Li Yelai unleashed his strongest attack, determined to destroy both the damned enemy and the anchor point!

The ghost immortal was equally cautious, and Li Yelai gave him an even worse feeling.

Born from a corpse, the Ghost Immortal possesses the physique of an immortal. In terms of physical strength alone, he is undoubtedly the strongest being in the Immortal Palace.

At the same time, he also possesses a powerful inspiration, which makes his actions invincible.

This is the gift that the corpse brought him; he perfectly inherited the immortal's relics!
But he also has limitations; he cannot leave the Celestial Palace.

As a primordial immortal, before his death, he foresaw what hidden dangers his corpse might leave behind.

However, he was powerless to completely destroy his own body, so he connected himself to the ruins of the Celestial Palace, so that even the living beings in the corpse could never leave the Celestial Palace for all eternity.

The so-called defense mechanism, in reality, is just defending against the ghost immortals themselves!

The Ghost Immortal had existed within the Immortal Palace for countless years, yet he was unable to escape. Nor did he dare to advance to a higher level, for fear of being killed by heavenly tribulation.

This caused him immense pain. He had inherited the legacy and talents of an immortal, and if he could leave the Immortal Palace, he could even return to his peak and become the only immortal in the world.

But he could only suffer in the celestial palace.

Until he discovered the outsiders, the Jing family, who possessed the bloodline of the carefree immortal. And, the Jing family's divine son, who resembled an incarnation of the carefree immortal!
This gave him a way to escape the Immortal Palace; as long as the Immortal Palace was destroyed, the restrictions on his body would no longer take effect.

A sufficient amount of immortal bloodline can accelerate this process!

Thus, he manipulated the secrets of heaven, causing the Jing family's experts to miscalculate the opening time of the Immortal Palace, leaving a large portion of humanity inside.

Subsequently, through the reproduction of several generations, the bloodline of the immortals spread.

He controlled the human population within the celestial palace time and again, like raising poultry, gradually forcing them into the residence of the carefree immortal. He then used their blood to open the gate to the top floor of the pagoda.

It contains many powerful inheritances and secret treasures, as well as a huge karmic connection to break through the Immortal Palace!
That might bring some calamities, but the Ghost Immortal doesn't care. As long as he can escape the Immortal Palace, he doesn't care about any calamities!
But with Li Yelai's appearance, he could clearly feel that he was entangled in some terrible cause and effect.

This is different from the karmic connection with the Azure Flame. If he were to be tainted by the Azure Flame, even if he escaped the Immortal Palace, he would become a target for the wandering knights. He might even attract the arrows of a supreme deity!
This is different from that mysterious tombstone; as long as you don't kill the holder, you won't get involved in any troublesome karma.

But at this moment, Li Yelai gave him an even more vicious and hateful feeling!

He felt that power was eroding his destiny as an immortal. Without even needing to calculate, he could sense that he was facing imminent disaster.

Even the circulation of psionic energy showed a strange stagnation.

Get away! Get away! Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!

He roared and waved his sleeves as if driving away something unclean.

The enormous ancient mirror reappeared, blocking the way for the lightning spear!
The next instant, the annihilation lightning struck the ancient mirror heavily. Terrifying lightning flashed, but vanished in an instant.

The terrifying lightning spear, powerful enough to instantly kill someone with six senses, simply disappeared into the ancient mirror, as if it had disappeared into a vast ocean without splashing a single drop of water.

Even Jing Tianming, who had risen to the level of a hegemon, could not break through this method, so naturally Li Yelai, who was only at the fifth level of perception, could not break through it.

Li Yelai was shaken, but quickly switched his appearance to Huo Qubing, the legendary general who sealed the wolf's lair!
Shadow Army, swift as the wind!
A thousand shadow cavalrymen appeared, and Li Yelai's speed suddenly increased as he tried to bypass the ghost immortal and destroy the white tree branch that was already tens of meters long.

However, the ghost immortal waved his hand again, and the bronze mirror pressed down like a curtain of the sky.

"seal up!"

Behind him lay the key to his escape from the Celestial Palace; he couldn't allow such a dangerous thing to get close. This demonic entity had to be suppressed!

Yes, in the eyes of the ghost immortals, Li Yelai, as a human, was regarded as a demon and evil creature!

Countless wondrous patterns appeared on the ancient bronze mirror, and at the same time, the mirror surface became crystal clear, reflecting Li Yelai's figure.

In that instant, Li Yelai felt as if he were being pulled away from the physical world. The moment his image was reflected, he seemed to be inside the mirror. His body gradually stiffened, as if some force was solidifying his spiritual energy and body, trying to seal him forever inside the mirror.

Is this a seal?

Since beings from the illusory realm cannot be completely killed, but only banished, powerful humans use various methods to seal them, preventing them from returning to the illusory realm or harming the physical world.

Unexpectedly, Li Yelai, a human, also encountered a seal one day.

"Blood River, Father, look at me!" Li Yelai gritted his teeth and struggled to reach out and wipe his face.

Switch your face, Blood God's Chosen!
Switch your face again, and you'll be immortalized!
Sealing is no simple matter, especially sealing a Chosen One of Chaos!
Unfortunately, Li Yelai is the embodiment of a chaotic deity in the physical world, a great chosen one of the two gods.

As Li Yelai continuously switched between different personas, gazes were cast upon him from the depths of the virtual realm.

Other figures were also reflected in that ancient mirror.

That was a towering figure seated upon a blood-red throne, beneath which countless mounds of blood rose. Trillions of believers fought and slaughtered for him.

That was a kind figure simmering a thick soup by the boiler, while countless terrible plagues brewed in the garden. Countless flower spirits showered blessings upon it.

It is a mysterious existence hidden in the mist, indescribable, and not existing in this space-time.

Behind those three figures lay an invisible terror! It was the malice of the Void Realm!

With a 'crack,' the ancient bronze mirror suddenly shattered, and cracks spread across its surface.

Li Yelai, who was sealed within, seemed about to break free. An eerie aura emanated from the crack.

"Damn it, what kind of filthy thing are you?!"

The ghost immortal's face was grim. Such a powerful treasure was a high-quality replica of a certain immortal's magic weapon, capable of withstanding the attacks of a hegemon and sealing enemies, yet it was destroyed at this moment.

But he had no time to feel sorry for it. As if he had touched a piece of scorching iron, he flicked his long robe sleeves and sent the huge bronze mirror flying far away.

The moment the bronze mirror hit the ground, the mirror shattered completely, and Li Yelai, who was sealed inside, broke free.

However, when Li Yelai burst out of the ancient mirror, what he saw was a white tree trunk that had grown rapidly to a height of 100 meters.

A crack appeared between the tree trunks, revealing another space within it.

The first thing you see is that enormous, white dragon-like creature.

It has a majestic dragon head, but no dragon claws or wings; its body is as long as a dragon's, but no dragon scales.

It was pierced by black iron spikes, connected end to end, and fixed into a huge circle.

Countless blood sacrifices were unleashed around it, causing an illusory river to surge forth from the circle it enclosed. The river seemed to pierce through time and space, transforming at its end into a crack in the Tree of Time.

One terrifying figure after another disappeared into the river, rushing from the future to the present, and behind these figures, an exceptionally huge figure emerged.

Even across the vast expanse of time, Li Ye could still feel that terrifying sense of oppression.

The Tree of Time has appeared! An enemy from the future, using the Time Worm as a vessel, has successfully opened up the River of Time and is flowing backwards from it!

It's not too late! It's not too late! Destroy the rift before they get out of it!
"Mr. Shadow!" Li Yelai roared, raising his halberd and charging forward once more.

"When you face that figure deepest within, I will intervene for you. But the path ahead is one you must traverse yourself," Mr. Shadow's indifferent voice rang out.

All Li Ye needs to do is face that figure directly, and it will unleash its power to destroy this calamity!

Li Yelai charged toward the Tree of Time once more, while the figure at the deepest part of the rift gazed at Li Yelai from afar, their eyes colliding in the long river of time.

'It's you?' The voice carried a hint of surprise.

At the same time, a muffled voice rang out: "Enemy army detected. Unleash the boundless waters!"

They come from the future, and although there may be some differences in their timelines, they still have an overwhelming intelligence advantage over the current human powerhouses.

They had anticipated being besieged by the human army the moment they appeared. Therefore, they prepared countermeasures!
Immediately, a droplet of water flew out of the crack, and it rapidly expanded the moment it left the crack.

Before Li Yelai even got close, the water droplet transformed into a terrifying ocean.

In an instant, the water droplets appeared out of nowhere, like a cataclysmic flood from a myth. Li Yelai, who was about to approach the crack, was directly struck by the tsunami.

Meanwhile, the powerful humans who were rushing to the scene were suddenly confronted by a massive tsunami.

The tsunami blotted out the sky, seemingly threatening to engulf the entire celestial palace and even spread into the physical world, devouring giant cities and forbidden zones! (End of Chapter)
