Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 535 The Great City Falls!
Within Demon Abyss Mountain, in a city already consumed by chaos, lies a stench of blood and decay.

Countless heads of rebels were piled up into a mound of skulls, and large amounts of flesh and blood grew on the plants and buildings, spewing stench and viruses.

The evil marks of chaos were etched everywhere, and a large number of inhabitants were corrupted.

And in one of the still clean rooms.

"Lost contact?" Baiya looked at the Plague Knight in front of him with a puzzled expression.

“Indeed, the Third Company, as the vanguard, led over a thousand fanatical followers. They were supposed to launch a probing attack on the Third Fortress, but they didn't even respond, directly cutting off contact with us.” The Plague Knight responded, the stench emanating from him causing Bai Ya to frown.

Ignoring the stench, Baiya asked, "Did you encounter any resistance?"

“No, there are hundreds of Plague Knights, including many elite ones. It’s impossible that they couldn’t even send a message. Besides, we haven’t sensed any battle fluctuations,” the Plague Knight replied.

"Could it be some kind of forbidden object?" Bai Ya pondered. Indeed, there are some forbidden objects related to space that can isolate a target from the physical world. But using them on an advance force would be making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Has the main force of the restricted area still not returned?" Bai Ya asked again.

“Yes, the resistance we encountered was all from private armies led by lords of the forbidden zones. The proportion of psionicists was not high.” The Plague Knight shook his head.

Both the Vampire and the Plague Knight are specialized Chaos units.

All members are psionic units, with the weakest being at the fourth level of awakening, and the elite among them at the fifth level of awakening.

Vampires are powerful in melee combat and have high damage reduction, allowing them to withstand artillery fire and charge into the enemy's path.

Plague Knights are formidable in melee combat and possess considerable defensive capabilities. The real danger lies in the terrifying virus they bring; any wound inflicted will cause the target's body to rapidly decay, transforming them into new undead or into a breeding ground for the virus.

Faced with such an elite legion, the private army of the Forbidden Zone lords was no match. While some might be psionicists, their numbers were small and their strength varied greatly; the vast majority were servants composed of Forbidden Zone humans. Although armed with Forbidden Zone technology, they were indeed a significant problem for conventional armies.

But in the eyes of the Chaos Elite Legion, it was just a pittance, gone in a single charge.

The only force capable of dealing with an army of psionic units is the equally elite main force of the Forbidden Zone!

Or, send out even stronger warriors to slaughter the entire legion!
The former didn't choose the forbidden zone and is still locked in a fierce battle with humanity. The latter also didn't choose the forbidden zone, presumably out of fear of the Chaos Artifact.

This is also why Baiya and Yumian are acting strangely. Their plan is to divide the forces in the Forbidden Zone, relieving the pressure on the Giant City, so that Emperor Yun can lead the human legion to attack the Forbidden Zone. A two-pronged attack, striking from both sides.

With the Emperor's Prestige, his status among humans will rise even higher.

Chaos can also plunder a large number of believers and resources. This is a win-win situation.

As a result, the restricted area simply wouldn't respond.

"What on earth is Demon Abyss Mountain doing? Why is it launching a powerful attack on Bashu Mountain City? And then ignoring our rampage within its territory?" Bai Ya pondered. "Could it be related to those beasts of the Deceptive Path?"

“Very likely!” The officer from the immortality faction nodded solemnly: “Those bastards love to play these underhanded tricks!”

Eighty percent of all the conspiracies and schemes in this world are perpetrated by believers in treacherous doctrines.

Therefore, believers in the unorthodox path are also called "shit pots" because anything can be thrown at them.

Even within the Chaos faction, vehemently criticizing the Devious Path faction is considered to be the correct belief.

Even the chosen ones believed that the five Chaos Gods of the High Heaven were probably cursing the Deviant Path.

Even the Lord of Azure Flame, who was at odds with the four ancient gods, was no exception.

After all, deep within the distant Void Realm, a chaotic civil war is breaking out.

Qingyan's arrows repeatedly traversed the starry sea, piercing through the gods under Guidao's command.

Its level of hatred is even higher than that of the Blood God!
Once a treacherous deity is discovered, it will ignore the Blood River's war god right in front of it and instead draw its great bow to shoot the treacherous deity millions of light-years away.

The treacherous path is something that everyone hates and despises!

“We need to conduct more investigations to see if the local believers of Demon Abyss Mountain have enough intelligence,” Bai Ya said.

However, the next moment, her and the Plague Knight's expressions changed slightly, because a Blood God Raven appeared outside their room window.

That was a chaotic means of communication. These dark crows possessed a stealth ability similar to that of psionicists using the Netherworld Path, allowing them to quickly traverse shadowy lands and transmit intelligence.

The Plague Knight immediately went to the open window, carefully took a letter from the Blood Raven's leg, and handed it to White Cliff.

Bai Ya deciphered the letter using a coded message, quickly glanced at it, and his expression changed slightly.

"My Lord Demon General, is this a response from the vanguard?" the Plague Knight asked.

“No.” Bai Ya’s expression gradually became serious: “It was a message from Yu Mian. One of the advance troops he dispatched has also lost contact. They also lost contact when they were near a fortress in the Dark Abyss.”

"The pitch-black abyss. There's definitely something wrong with it."

"Moreover, it seems that Demon Abyss Mountain is activating Peak Spear Mountain!"

Peak Spear Mountain is an unusual mountain peak located in the core area of ​​the forbidden Demon Abyss Mountain. Its shape closely resembles a spear.

In fact, it was indeed a spear.

In the early stages of the calamity, before the forbidden zone was created, when it was still in the form of calamity mist, powerful humans who were devoured within it fought against the ruler of the calamity mist.

They paid a heavy price, but ultimately failed to extinguish the calamity. They perished on the last stretch of their resistance.

The remaining humans were enslaved and eventually became the ancestors of the Forbidden Zone humans.

However, that rebellion still resulted in the death of a supreme being.

The remaining remains of that supreme being transformed into Mount Fengmao, one of the sacred sites of Mount Moyuan.

Many years later, it became a powerful weapon of Demon Abyss Mountain. Demon Abyss Mountain could use certain methods to throw the spear, which was quite powerful.

Legend has it that if it hits, it can severely injure a king.

This is also one of the biggest trump cards of Demon Abyss Mountain.

"The human king has made a move?" Bai Ya frowned. "He's not here to deal with us, is he?"

"Could it be because they fear our Chaos Artifact?" the Plague Knight asked.

"Whatever their purpose, we cannot allow them to fire their spears." Bai Ya replied after thinking for a moment, "We cannot let those scum from Demon Abyss Mountain injure Lord Emperor Yun."

"Prepare the offerings and rituals. Inform Jade Face and your Demon General Tree that we will awaken the Chaos Demon and the Prince! Let them also participate in this vast battle!"

In order to aid the Emperor's Fall plan and to gain greater benefits.

Both the Immortal and Blood God factions have brought out their Chaos Artifacts!
With enough offerings, two Chaos Artifacts are enough to summon two powerful projections of Chaos Beings!
Even if it's not at its peak, its supreme-level combat power is enough to wipe out any target except a monarch.

"Yes," the Plague Knight nodded, then looked out the window: "The offerings for this city might not be enough; a hundred thousand people aren't enough."

His voice suddenly stopped, and his eyes, hidden behind the mask, widened as he stared out the window in fear.

Baiya seemed to sense something was wrong and immediately looked out the window. The city streets were silent and deserted.

The original cries of agony and sounds of slaughter also disappeared at some point.

"No, it's an enemy attack!" the Plague Knight shouted.

He and Baiya jumped out of the window at the same time, and he tried to call upon his cavalry legion. But there was no response; the fanatical believers and Plague Knights who should have been galloping through the city had vanished without a trace.

As Baiya turned around, the knight vanished.

This greatly alarmed Bai Ya, who unleashed a burst of chaotic power, causing the Chaos Artifact in her hand to glow with an eerie light. No matter the enemy, she had to use the Chaos Artifact.

With psychic powers and senses fully activated, they still couldn't find anyone.

No, this is...
Terrified, Bai Ya grabbed the blood-red raven that had just delivered the message and roared, "Get Lord Di Yun away! Don't let him get close!"

But when a gentle breeze swept by, the city fell silent. Meanwhile, in the mountain city of Bashu, the human warriors who had been rotated from the front lines were resting.

As the smoke signals rose, a large number of residents in the giant city were evacuated and resettled.

The once bustling streets of the metropolis now appeared utterly desolate. The myriad lights of homes were gone, replaced only by the roar of countless war chariots.

The group of dolls were resting at a rest stop near the high wall area.

They have just gone through a bloody battle and need enough rest to recover their physical strength and psionic energy.

The war remains fierce, but humanity has managed to hold the line.

With neither the supreme beings nor the kings of either side making a move, the prodigies from Wanlong Lake stabilized the situation of high-end combat power in Bashu Mountain City.

According to Jucheng's analysis, Moyuan Mountain is probably also wary of a full-scale war.

After all, the cost of a war of kings is too high. Human megacities might be destroyed, but the Forbidden Zones would certainly not win. A completely insane king could leave the King of the Forbidden Zones truly isolated.

Yet, humans still cannot comprehend the actions of Demon Abyss Mountain.

Both sides have suffered losses and are still committing forces to the battle. What exactly are they plotting?

Therefore, the prodigies discussed this at the rest stop.

Together they challenged the Land of Heritage at Wanlong Lake and fought side by side against the Forbidden Zone Legion. Through their camaraderie, they became much closer.

Most of them were geniuses from different regions or major cities. In the past, their competitive spirit would have made them unwilling to admit defeat to each other. But Wanlong Lake and the battlefield made them put aside their pride.

However, due to their respective curses, some people do find it difficult to integrate.

The doll, dressed in full armor and wearing a mask, sat quietly in the corner, occasionally discussing something with its colleagues while holding an advertising sign.

A few steps away in the shadows, the Little Mad King stood. His aura was concealed, making him difficult to detect.

This drew the attention of many, and the doll's power remained a vivid memory for them.

The only one to defeat the champion's echo incarnation—that alone is enough to earn her everyone's respect.

Of course, after learning about the relationship between the ninth champion and her, many people secretly complained that the champion's status in the family might be somewhat affected.

The Little Mad King has put many prodigies on guard. They have learned of the Little Mad King's curse, but the power of suspicion still makes them truly uneasy.

With such a top assassin lurking in the shadows, many people fear they might be assassinated.

This was unavoidable, and it was also the reason why Little Mad King didn't let them know that he was secretly protecting them.

Because of the Little Mad King's appearance, many people also had other misunderstandings due to the influence of the curse.

After all, putting aside her identity as an assassin master, she is also an extremely beautiful girl.

She glanced at me. Could it be that she's taken a liking to me?

'This girl is really assertive, but I'm straight, what should I do?'

'A foxy face.'

Despite the various gazes, the Little Mad King remained expressionless.

This kind of scene has happened far too many times.

Under the influence of the curse, any explanation is futile, so it's better to ignore it.
The group discussed the possible arrival of reinforcements and subsequent tactical deployments, and expressed optimism about the current battle situation.

Perhaps, once reinforcements arrive on the battlefield, the restricted area will back down.

However, the discussion was interrupted by a sudden alarm.

At the same time, the sense of danger emanating from the virtual realm instantly alerted the powerful humans.

A terrifying power emanated from the virtual realm, alerting everyone's senses.

"Could it be that the king has made his move?"

Is a full-scale war about to break out?

Everyone was taken aback, and then quickly rushed out of the rest stop.

The doll was very fast and was almost the first to climb the high wall.

However, when she looked at the battlefield, her breath caught in her throat.

A giant claw emerging from the depths of the Chaotic Forbidden Zone obscured half the sky. Its obsidian-like scales gleamed with an ominous light. When the claw, which stretched across the heavens and earth, tore through the clouds, it cracked like a spiderweb of fissures on a shattered mirror.

The terrifying psionic pressure shook the heavens and earth, even causing the sky to change color, and an eerie glow enveloped the sky.

In that instant, every human warrior on the battlefield felt the threat of death; a terrifying sense of oppression was forcing them to kneel down and accept their fate.

Almost simultaneously, blinding sunlight tore through the rosy clouds and illuminated the earth. A sharp sword roared up and instantly struck the giant claw.

The moment the sword clashed with the giant claw, a burst of intense light, like a supernova explosion, erupted, and the escaping energy ripples sculpted the surrounding mountains into mirror-like platforms.

When people barely opened their tearful eyes, they saw two torrents of energy piercing the heavens and earth vying for dome above, with the dark spacetime rift and the pure white chains of order constantly annihilating and being reborn in the collision.

"Abyss King, you're courting death!" The roar of the human king echoed throughout the void!
At this moment, everyone knew that the war of kings had broken out!
Humanity will face an even more terrifying war!

The next second, the doll saw a mountain peak. A mountain peak that looked like a spear!

It flew out from the direction of the restricted area, with terrifying psionic energy gathering within it, like a spear that could shatter everything, tearing the sky and the earth apart.

That is the sacred mountain of Demon Abyss Mountain, and also a weapon aimed at the monarch!

However, the mountain-like spear did not attack the human king who was fighting the King of the Forbidden Zone, but instead roared towards the human metropolis!

It wasn't attacking the king, but rather...destroying the great city!
In that instant, countless powerful humans roared across the battlefield!

Abilities from different paths surged forth, all attacking the spear.

A human overlord wielded his sword, splitting the heavens with a single strike, its cold light flashing across the sky.

A supreme human roared, moving mountains and turning them into hammers to smash the spear!

The doll floated in mid-air, its arms outstretched, and the air condensed into countless thick barriers under its control.

At the same time, countless powerful figures made their moves, unleashing a torrent of spiritual energy.

Flames, lightning, frost, sword light—all sorts of attacks intertwined to form a destructive net, relentlessly bombarding the spear.

The outer layer of rock on the spear began to crumble under the intense attack, and rubble fell like raindrops.

However, the spear's speed did not decrease at all.

Like a raging beast, it withstood countless attacks and forcefully tore through barrier after barrier. Each time a barrier shattered, it erupted with dazzling light, as if a star had fallen.

In its final moments, it was less than a hundred meters long, yet it slammed violently into the doll's air barrier.

The barrier was torn apart in half a second!
When it finally crashed into the high walls of the great city, time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar echoed through the sky. The high wall collapsed under the impact of the spears, bricks and stones flying everywhere, and dust billowing into the air. The mysterious runes on the city wall shattered instantly, turning into countless points of light that dissipated into the air.

The shockwave swept across the entire battlefield, sending countless soldiers flying. The earth trembled and the sky wailed.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a huge gap appeared on the high wall of the giant city, like a hideous wound.

The wreckage of the spear was deeply embedded in the city wall, and dark red energy flowed like blood.
The great city has fallen!
