Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

That gaze came from the depths of the tomb, sharp as could be, as if it could see through all of Li Yelai's pretenses.

This shook Li Yelai to his core. The champion's cape behind him fluttered without wind, its powerful spiritual energy poised to be unleashed at any moment, as if it were about to launch a counterattack.

"What's wrong with you?" As the champion's cape fluttered, Duoyuan felt a terrifying sense of oppression.

The champion's cape, a symbol of human champions.

It has a deterrent effect on enemies of humanity.

The Chosen Ones of Elysium are naturally enemies of humanity.

This is one of the reasons why Fallen Wish values ​​Li Yelai so highly; they are about to corrupt a champion's proxy who has obtained the champion's cape. It's practically equivalent to corrupting a human champion! This will be a tremendous honor for the Elysium faction!

But now, the oppressive aura emanating from the champion's cape made her feel threatened.

However, within the branch she controls, she is invincible.
"Didn't you feel it? This subtle sense of danger," Li Yelai said.

“That’s my problem, you’re not used to it yet.” Duoyuan paused, then smiled and said, “This is, after all, the tomb of a king. Even in death, he was still a king. In some civilizations, he was a being worthy of being called a god or an immortal. Even in death, his remains contain powerful energy.”

"So, we have the corpse of a king?" Li Yelai's eyes flashed. "Then can we forge a king's weapon?"

Psionic weapons are created using the mysterious substances of psionicists, combined with other powerful extraordinary materials.

Its strength is related to mysterious substances.

The stronger the mysterious substance, the stronger the psionic weapon forged.

It is very difficult for a low-level awakened psychic to neutralize the psychic barrier of a high-level psychic.

But with psionic weapons, things are different.

The black-gold dragon-patterned halberd and the blood-cloud ring-pommel sword in Li Yelai's hands were forged using mysterious substances from the Six Senses Myriad Manifestations Path and the Six Senses Divine Control Path, respectively. They are A-grade weapons.

The more advanced S-class weapons, also known as Overlord Weapons, are forged using mysterious Overlord-level materials.

It contains a portion of divinity, capable of tearing through the psionic barriers of divine beings. It is extremely useful to overlords, but also very rare.

And so on, supreme weapons, king's weapons.
Every weapon represents the fall of a powerful warrior.

These rare weapons have another characteristic: they can transform into divine beasts! The higher the level, the higher the chance of transformation.

It will possess extremely strong anti-divine power, making its combat strength even greater.

However, the birth of a divine abomination is largely dependent on luck.

I've heard wilderness adventurers brag about it.

An ordinary lead ball gradually transformed into a divine abomination, crushing and killing countless gods.

Of course, officials, including Li Yelai, all thought that Youxia was just bragging.

Can a shot put penetrate a psionic barrier? That's bullshit!
Within the Celestial Palace, humans once discovered a royal weapon, but it was difficult to take it away.

As a result, even the weapon in the hands of the old Mad King was only a supreme weapon.

Now, the Bliss faction has found the king's tomb and may forge a king's weapon!

Weapons of this caliber are more likely to become divine abominations. They are absolute weapons of mass destruction!
“I wish I could, but as I said, we can’t open the final tomb. Although we inherited the right to use this tomb, it was never designed to be opened.” Fallen Wish explained, “Otherwise, you wouldn’t have felt this sense of danger. We would have dug it up long ago.”

“It’s a pity I wanted to see the king’s remains,” Li Yelai replied, though a thought stirred within him.

Didn't Duoyuan feel that gaze? What was the source of that gaze? Could it be that this human king is actually still alive?

That shouldn't be the case. If he were still alive, how could that king sit idly by and watch his people be toyed with and harmed by paradise?

Shouldn't he have acted rashly and exterminated all the followers and chosen ones of the Bliss faction?
The civilization that could devise a plan to divide the battlefield, preserve the spark of revolution, and kill the Heartless Fruit through self-destruction.

Why would I put up with such rudeness?

And that gaze was definitely not an illusion! That monarch, or rather, some being related to him, possessed self-awareness!

Could this be transformed into a heavy hammer for humanity?

Unfortunately, the contents of the tomb are now unknown.

If the king's body is preserved intact, Li Ye will unleash the Styx Horn and let these scumbags of ecstasy experience the king's wrath.

Li Yelai's mind raced as he followed behind Duoyuan, listening to her describe these rare items.

This place contains some of the legacy left by the Ming Dynasty for the future, including high-level mysterious substances and powerful treasures. There are also several forbidden items.

Although the number is not as large as that of the Blood God Qinling headquarters, it is not small either.

Li Yelai roughly estimated that there were more than fifty portions of the mysterious substance of the Six Senses alone, and three more portions of the Overlord-level substance.

However, there are fewer corresponding extraordinary materials.

Then came some relatively safe, usable, and forbidden items.

As for the other troublesome taboo items, they were all stored in another place.

"And then, here it is," Fallen Wish said, walking to the corpses of the three enormous beasts. "I remember you seem to have the means to summon ancient dragons?"

"That's right, that was my fortuitous encounter. I have a rein that can preserve and control corpses." Li Yelai was naturally lying.

The Crimson Reins do not have the ability to store corpses; Li Yelai stored the Heavenly Comet Ancient Dragon using his own Ark storage space.

But even the most devoted wish could no longer distinguish between truth and falsehood.

“And now, it seems that your ancient dragon corpse is no longer usable,” Fallen Wish said. “I saw a broken dragon tail at the location of your battle.”

“Thanks to He Lan,” Li Yelai replied, “I was also dragged onto this pirate ship because of her.”

“My dear companion, please don’t blame me. We were enemies back then.” Fallen Wish smiled. “But now, I will do everything I can to make up for your loss. These three beasts are all rare species.”

Just as Fallen Wish said, the three alien beast corpses frozen here are all very powerful.

They were probably at the level of overlords when they were alive.

Today, frozen in a corner of the tomb, it remains lifelike.

The first strange beast.

Its body resembles a tiger, with pure black fur that shimmers with a metallic sheen, as if it were wearing a natural suit of armor. In particular, its face is strikingly human-like, with sharp fangs protruding between its lips and teeth.

Its size is not particularly large, and it is even smaller than the Nightfall Mountain Lord.

But its muscles were bulging and extremely powerful. Even after death, its body remained hidden in the shadows, difficult to detect.

Is it the ferocious beast Taotie from the Classic of Mountains and Seas? Perhaps it also possesses a hidden blessing or talent. Li Yelai thought to himself, then looked at the other second strange beast.

This strange beast was outside of Li Yelai's knowledge; it was likely a species unique to the region.

It is clearly an ancient dragon species, with huge wings that extend from the base of its forelimbs.

Its body is dark blue and covered with thick scales. Key areas such as the head, forelegs, hind legs, wings, and tail are covered with ice armor and ice spikes.

It was the low temperature and frost released by this ancient dragon's corpse that sealed this area.

Its appearance is somewhat similar to the Regulon and Gransanx that Li Yelai had seen.

“The Frost Dragon, Porius,” Fallen Wish laughed. “This ancient dragon once unleashed a blizzard that covered the entire space. After being killed by the Nameless King, it became His burial offering. It saved us a lot of trouble, as its corpse still retains extremely low temperatures and frost, preserving the integrity of these burial offerings.”

Li Yelai nodded, then looked at the last strange beast.

This strange beast is also a dragon. But unexpectedly, it's not an ancient dragon, but a flying dragon!
It has no forelimbs!

At the same time, its body was severely damaged, its dragon wings were tattered, yet it exuded endless violent power.

Its body is extremely large, with a wingspan that may exceed eighty meters!

The scales are dark red, yet have a dark golden sheen.

Its eyes were like burning flames, and even when it was frozen in solid ice, it seemed as if there was an unyielding fire burning within them.

"A flying dragon? A domineering flying dragon?" Li Yelai was surprised. The dragon creatures in the forbidden zone were divided into many kinds.

Fanged dragons, flying dragons, ancient dragons, etc.
Among them, the ancient dragons are the most powerful, and their adult forms possess the strength of a hegemon.

However, it is almost impossible for dragons to grow to this level.

“That’s right, it’s a wyvern. It might be the strongest wyvern species in the world.” Fallen Wish introduced, “It was known as the Mad Dragon. Before the rise of the Mingxia civilization, it used its violent flames and lightning to pierce the earth.”

"After ascending to the status of a hegemon with the body of a dragon, it killed an ancient dragon. It even challenged the Supreme Being. It was killed by the then nameless king who had not yet grown up. It was that king's most prized possession. It was also a gift he left to posterity, but now... it belongs to us."

"Yes, it's ours now," Li Yelai said with a smile, clearly very satisfied with the mad dragon.

However, it's too big. I wonder if there's enough storage space to fit it.

“However, its remains are badly damaged. If you need, we can begin to repair it,” Fallen Wish said. “And while we’re at it, put armor on it. We are the chosen ones of Elysium, and it looks terrible in this state.”

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Li Yelai nodded.

Seeing that Li Yelai agreed, a smile welled up in Duoyuan's eyes.

Good, at least they've started to gather their strength. Even future champions crave power.

Exchanging the corpse of a hegemon for this desire is entirely worthwhile!
In fact, Li Yelai intended to have them all. He wouldn't complain about having too many mounts.

Afterwards, Duoyuan introduced Li Yelai to other forbidden items and some rare treasures.

Li Yelai even saw two dragon balls.

At the same time, Li Yelai also noticed an exquisite ball mask.

The mask carried a dense and extremely powerful aura of chaos, which even caused Li Yelai's champion cape to flutter.

"Our Chaos Artifact?" Li Yelai asked.

“Yes, this is one of them. It belongs to a certain elegant Chaos Prince,” Fallen Wish chuckled.

"One of them," Li Yelai asked, "our branch has several Chaos Sacred Artifacts? That's far more extravagant than the Blood God faction."

Duo Yuan nodded, revealing a red ring on her hand.

With her movements, an extremely strong chaotic aura surged. Clearly, this ring was also a chaotic sacred object, and it was personally carried by the chosen one of the Chaos Gods.

This made Li Yelai's heart sink; he was in trouble.

Chaos artifacts possess immense power and would normally be powerful treasures.

When necessary, one can also summon projections of princes or great demons through certain chaotic rituals!
Their combat power is extremely formidable.

Li Yelai hadn't expected that this branch would possess two sacred artifacts simultaneously. That was incredibly extravagant!
Li Yelai's next move will likely be quite troublesome. Killing this chosen one in front of him will probably be no easy task.

Even so, the branch dared not confront the champion Yang Chen head-on.

I guess they're waiting for an opportunity?
"After all, Wanlong Lake is our backyard." Duoyuan smiled charmingly, "You don't need to worry. Perhaps, our branch will soon have a third Chaos Artifact."

As she spoke, she focused her gaze on the champion's cape on Li Yelai's body.

That is the symbol of human champions, and it is fully qualified to become a powerful Chaos artifact!

"You actually have such thoughts?" Li Yelai asked in surprise.

“It’s not impossible,” Fallen Wish replied. “Once you receive my Lord’s blessing, you will receive a great reward along with your new name. And your cloak may just become a Chaos Artifact!”

"How exciting this is!" Fallen Wish took Li Yelai's hand and placed it against her cheek, her face flushed with an eerie red. "Humanity's future champion has fallen into chaos, and humanity's champion's cloak has transformed into a chaotic artifact. Just thinking about it makes me incredibly excited!"

To destroy all that is beautiful, to drag the sacred and pure into the mire, to wantonly defile and corrupt—this is perfectly in line with her aesthetic.

In that instant, Li Yelai seemed to hear the champion's cape's cold snort, and also faintly heard past champions expressing their opinions on the matter.

"Ninth Brother, go up and slap her across the face, see if she still goes crazy!"

She may not yet know how much this cloak from the future has grown.

Li Yelai suppressed the urge to burst out laughing and withdrew his hand, saying, "I hope so."

Then, Li Yelai asked, "As the chosen one, am I allowed to come to the treasure vault to make a selection?"

“Of course. Your clearance has been upgraded to Sequence Two, allowing you to move freely throughout the branch without being considered an enemy by the Ruins. You can even come to my boudoir,” Fallen Wish chuckled. “I’m looking forward to it.”

It seems that with this sequence, we won't be attacked by the ruins and can enter any defensively guarded place, which is not bad.

"Only Sequence Two?" Li Yelai asked.

"Once you receive your name, you'll be promoted to Sequence One," Fallen Wish soothed with her alluring eyes. "You'll have to suffer for a few days, but I'll make it up to you later."

"Oh, okay." Li Yelai nodded calmly.

This made Duoyuan curse inwardly, thinking that this idiot hadn't reacted at all.

Unbeknownst to her, deep within the tomb, something had opened its eyes. (End of Chapter)
