Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The Celestial Comet Ancient Dragon roared out from the spatial fluctuations.

The silver scales are tightly covered, each one seemingly polished by time, shimmering silver in the moonlight.

The dragon has long, slender limbs and a tail, while its huge, sharp, dark red wings spew forth powerful psionic flames.

Like a dancer gracefully moving under the moonlight, noble and elegant.

At the same time, the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations also contained a trace of divinity.

This caused Jian Kuang and Yue Ying's expressions to change slightly.

This ancient dragon, which doesn't look very big, is actually an adult?

“Come on up, you two. Let’s conserve our spiritual energy,” Li Yelai said.

Sword Maniac is a hegemon-level powerhouse, while Moon Shadow, although a Zero Path powerhouse, possesses the Thunder Incarnation skill, making his speed comparable to that of a hegemon.

However, it would be quite difficult for them to actually run all the way to Wanlong Lake.

"This is the remains of an adult ancient dragon. You actually had such a trump card?" Moonshadow patted the ancient dragon's scales, clicking her tongue in amazement. "A species I've never seen before. It looks underdeveloped. Is it a specialty of the Lost Lands?"

Hmm. As expected of Captain Tsukikage, his mouth is really sharp.

"The Ark's spatial folding... If only it could be made more widespread." Sword Maniac was more interested in the Ark's storage space.

If every official had a storage space—not even a few cubic meters—it would be a huge improvement. It would be invaluable for logistics, transportation, and even on the battlefield.

Now, the authorities want to research the technology of the Heavenly Court being able to contain things in a mustard seed.

Unfortunately, there has been no progress so far.

The Celestial Civilization is far more advanced in spiritual energy than the Rhyme Spirits of the future civilization.

The two landed on the dragon's back together, and Li Yelai pulled on the reins.

The next second, the Sky Comet Ancient Dragon's dark red steel wings unleashed even more ferocious flames.

Like a shooting star streaking across the night sky.

It will take the main group at least two more days to reach Wanlong Lake.

Li Yelai and his two companions arrived at Wanlong Lake earlier as the advance team.

At the same time, if the situation allows, they must prioritize rescue efforts!
Under the cover of night, a red meteor streaked across the sky.

In the wilderness, some caravans or camps thought they had seen a shooting star and began to make wishes.

However, some of the psionicists looked surprised or solemn.

Lower-level psionicists might not even notice anything.

But those powerful individuals with the fourth level of perception or above were filled with doubt and uncertainty.

The ancient dragon's power shook the wilderness, causing them to instinctively hold their breath.

Meanwhile, some extraordinary creatures that roamed the depths of the wilderness fell silent in fear.

They feared that the ancient dragon in the sky might suddenly swoop down and kill them.

This is the terrifying sense of oppression that ancient dragons, as superior beings, exert over other living beings.

Fortunately, the meteor was extremely fast and quickly disappeared from their sight.

High in the sky, Moon Shadow gripped the dragon scales to steady herself, looking down at the night view: "It's really fast. In terms of speed, it's no less than my Thunder Avatar. It's a pity you have the curse of the vehicle killer, so you can't use it effectively."

“If I don’t activate the Face Mask, I won’t trigger the vehicle killer. Otherwise, we could be even faster right now,” Li Yelai replied. Indeed, the limit of the Heavenly Comet Ancient Dragon is when Li Yelai activates Shadow Army, but once Shadow Army is activated, it will trigger the inevitable encounter with powerful enemies and the vehicle killer.

Li Yelai thought for a moment and explained, "Moreover, Old Ma No. 4 is, after all, the remains of an overlord-level ancient dragon, and it's incredibly tough. Even a vehicle killer might not be able to withstand it."

"Hey, it's already Old Horse No. 4," Yueying complained. "You can't exactly say the other Old Horses are lost, can you?"

Li Yelai fell silent. Captain Yueying always liked to rub salt into other people's wounds.

"Alright, enough with the chatter. I heard that a group of psionicists wanted to surrender, but you provoked them into a rebellion," Sword Madman said. "You should watch your mouth."

“I did it on purpose. I don’t want to accept the surrender of those human traffickers,” Yueying said calmly. “Besides, I’ve only been talking for a few minutes and they’re already getting impatient and wanting to kill me. They have no patience.”

Jian Kuang smiled and didn't dwell on the matter, instead looking into the distance.

"Everyone, be alert, we're getting close to the area affected by the Doomsday Forest."

As Jian Kuang's voice faded, Li Yelai saw a lush primeval forest in the distance.

That was merely the outer area of ​​the Doomsday Forest, not even the main forbidden zone.

Among them are a considerable number of extraordinary creatures.

From high above, Li Yelai could vaguely see the strange terrain beyond the sea of ​​trees.

If you walk straight through the forest and enter the restricted area, you will see floating islands in mid-air, volcanoes spewing lava, mountains covered with colorful corals, or land covered by snow and ice, including deserts and swamps.
These regions each possess distinctly different ecosystems, giving rise to a vast array of extraordinary creatures. And those at the apex of these ecosystems are often dominated by ancient dragons or other extraordinary beings.

If we only look at the number of Six Awakenings and Overlords, the Doomsday Forest undoubtedly has the largest number of them among the forbidden zones.

Each ecological niche has at least one dominant species, as well as a large number of creatures with six senses.

At the same time, the spatial folding inside the Doomsday Forest is also the largest.

Human estimates suggest that the spatial folding of the Doomsday Forest is seven to eight times larger than that of the Divine Palace, or even larger.

Therefore, in terms of sheer strength, Doomsday Forest is the strongest.

Within this vast territory reside two monarch-like creatures, eight supreme beings, and over sixty overlords. After all, some extraordinary beings can ascend to the status of overlords simply by living long enough. Consequently, the number of overlords in the Doomsday Forest is extremely high.

However, they are not a proper forbidden civilization; the vast majority of their creatures still follow their instincts. Each region operates independently, and unless there are special circumstances, they will not leave their own territory.

The closer one gets to the core area, the fiercer the battle becomes in order to compete for the nourishment from the ancient golden tree.

A scout once witnessed two dominant Elder Dragons fighting each other for territory. He was fortunate enough to obtain some valuable artifacts from them, such as severed horns and tails.

This characteristic prevented them from developing a civilization like Black Source City and Heavenly Realm.

The threat to the megacity is relatively small.

At the same time, it is also the best source of extraordinary materials for human mega-cities.

Li Yelai was certain that at least a hundred Night Scout groups were currently hunting in the Doomsday Forest.

"I don't see the golden ancient tree." Li Ye came for a while but didn't see the golden ancient tree that was said to cover the sky.

If we could obtain its sap, Old Mad King wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

Now that Li Yelai has obtained the Divine Demon Tablet, theoretically, he can suppress the curse on the Old Mad King.

However, the Old Mad King's curse is trigger-based, and Li Yelai in his current state cannot survive in a King's Battle. If only the Old Mad King possessed the Divine Control Path.
Moonshadow said, "To see the Golden Ancient Tree, you have to enter the restricted area. You can see the branches of the Golden Ancient Tree in every area of ​​the restricted area."

Li Yelai nodded slightly, and then saw a precious sword appear in Jian Kuang's hand.

The next second, in the distant sea of ​​trees, an adult flying dragon rapidly took off.

The biggest difference between wyverns and ancient dragons is their size and appearance. Wyverns are smaller and have wings, but no forelimbs. Adult wyverns only have about five senses.

Gu Long, on the other hand, was the exact opposite.

This is also why Li Yelai can quickly distinguish between flying dragons and ancient dragons.

At that moment, the flying dragon was directly severed by a purple blade of light.

At the same time, a deep tiger roar came.

It was a giant tiger with huge saber teeth and eyes that emitted purple flames.

Its entire body is covered with thick, dark purple carapace, and two sharp blades grow from its forelimbs.

It emerged from the mountains, looked up at the shooting stars in the sky, and let out a series of low roars.

"It's the king of the lava cave's ecological niche, the Heavenly Wraith Tiger." Sword Madman looked down at the Wraith Tiger and said, "It sensed the aura of the Heavenly Comet Ancient Dragon and reacted somewhat."

"Ignore it. If we don't enter its territory, it won't make a move rashly."

As expected, seeing that the Celestial Comet Dragon did not linger, the Wraith Tiger roared a few times before grabbing the dragon's corpse and returning to the Sea of ​​Trees.

However, upon returning to its den, it smelled blood.

At the same time, it also discovered some uninvited guests.

Most of these creatures have pure white wings, but one of them has three pairs of black wings.

When it saw that the creature was trampling its own cubs, the Heavenly Wraith Tiger let out a terrifying roar!

Purple flames surged forth!
"Is this the last one?" the black-winged angel said casually, seemingly unconcerned about the killing intent of a niche king.

Of course, he didn't need to care about being the son of a king.

He was one of the most esteemed beings within the forbidden zone. He truly didn't take the threat of a mere supernatural being seriously.

“Yes, sir. That’s it.” someone replied softly.

And in his eyes, terrifying, chaotic pupils twisted.
Meanwhile, the Ancient Dragon Sky Comet bypassed the outer area of ​​the Doomsday Forest, attracting some extraordinary creatures. However, the Ancient Dragon's power was so brutal that after much hesitation, they ultimately did not attack. They did not want to be injured and have their territory taken by other creatures.

This is the norm in the Doomsday Forest. If it were in a giant city, and an enemy overlord dared to pass through its outskirts like this, they would have been pinned down and killed long ago.

After Li Yelai and the others left the Doomsday Forest, they encountered no further danger.

As long as one avoids restricted areas and special terrain, a level four psychic can tell you where in the world one cannot go. Let alone an adult ancient dragon.

As the Ancient Dragon Sky Comet advanced at full speed, two hours after it had left the restricted area's influence.

Li Yelai and his two companions then arrived in Qianzhou.

This place truly is a landscape of towering mountains.

Looking around, Li Yelai saw only undulating mountain peaks, and some abandoned cities built before the disaster were built on the mountains, or even on the mountaintops.

“There are over a million mountains here, plus a restricted area on the side, Demon Abyss Mountain. Even scavengers rarely come here,” Yueying said. “They might not even be able to afford the fuel after crossing the mountain. Only psionicists can enter relatively easily. In a sense, it’s lucky that Old Yang was able to find Wanlong Lake in this terrain.”

Li Yelai nodded slightly; if it were up to him, he would probably get lost.

Then, the Ancient Dragon Sky Comet continued its advance.

And at dawn, they successfully located Wanlong Lake.

It was a lake surrounded by mountains. From high above, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but once you entered the valley, the view opened up dramatically.

The interior space is more than ten times larger than what can be seen from above.

Li Yelai also saw some extraordinary creatures he had never seen before. He didn't know if they were variants or hybrids, and many of them were dragon-blooded creatures.

Some extraordinary creatures exhibit distinct dragon-like characteristics.

However, their strength was very weak. It was probably because the champion teams had already cleared them out, and Li Yelai couldn't sense a single one who was above the third level of awakening.

Similarly, Li Yelai also saw the human tribe mentioned in the intelligence.

They scattered near the tributaries of that huge lake, each establishing uniquely shaped villages, and their level of civilization was... quite bizarre.

To put it mildly, they also have some crossbows made from materials from extraordinary creatures.

If you say their living conditions are high, then their living conditions are too primitive.

Li Yelai controlled the Heavenly Comet Ancient Dragon to land on a hillside not far from a village.

As Li Yelai and his companions descended from the sky riding the Heavenly Comet Ancient Dragon, many people in the villages knelt down in terror, kowtowing and chanting in a language that was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar. It was likely a variant of a local dialect; Li Yelai could only barely understand a few words.

'Gods' 'offerings' 'forgiveness' 'atonement'

Clearly, they viewed the Celestial Comet Ancient Dragon as a more powerful 'guardian deity'. The three who descended from the ancient dragon were seen as beings of even greater power and strength.

“They have been enslaved and raised for too long. Even if they are rescued by Lao Yang and the others, it will be difficult to change their worldview in a short time,” Yueying said.

“I understand. The time gap has been too long; they can't even understand each other's language anymore. If a team helps them eliminate the dragon, they might even hold a grudge against us for killing their guardian deity.” Li Yelai nodded and put the Heavenly Comet Ancient Dragon back into the storage space.

At that moment, several dark figures in the distance rapidly approached the landing point.

They were the five night watchmen who stayed behind, and Li Yelai recognized several of them.

The arrival of the Ancient Dragon Sky Comet naturally alarmed them.

Upon seeing Li Yelai and his two companions, they breathed a sigh of relief and quickly approached.

"Sword Maniac Minister, Moon Shadow Captain, Champion Acting, East City Team Five, and Orange Leopard Group, please assemble!"

“Minister, what was that just now?” a night watchman from the Fifth Team asked tentatively.

"Don't worry about it, it's just a summoned creature," Sword Maniac replied. "That's why we were able to get here so quickly. As for the main force, they won't arrive for another two or three days. Is there anything else? Still no contact?"

The Night Scout, who was on his way to the third border city for help, had been traveling for four days.

If Yang Chen and his group can make contact with the ground during this period, that would be fine.

“There is no communication, but,” Night Shield of Team Five looked at the lake, “we can faintly sense that there are occasional battle fluctuations coming from the lake water.”

"We wanted to dive into the lake to investigate, but the lake was bottomless. Moreover, a large number of dragons were hiding in it. We suffered some losses and were unable to successfully dive in."
