Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The Demon Swordsman couldn't even delay Li Yelai for three seconds.

Under the champion's furious yet swift attacks, he was beheaded in less than thirty moves.

The Blood and Flesh Demon Sword, on the other hand, withdrew all its arrogance, fell to the ground, and lay as still as a chicken.

The Blood and Flesh Demon Sword was originally a weapon used by a certain virtual civilization in the face of chaos.

That civilization paid a huge price to banish a Blood God Demon, whose blood stained its body.

As civilization crumbled, this longsword was gradually eroded by chaos, eventually transforming into a bewitching demonic sword.

It will tempt beings that crave power to use it, and with the killings caused by the user, it will grant the user more power and combat skills.

Therefore, every user becomes a fearsome killer. It roams the land, changing hosts time and again, committing heinous crimes and even gaining the attention of the Blood God.

In terms of rank, it cannot be considered a Chaos Sacred Artifact. At most, it can only be considered a blessed object.

If so, once it finds a suitable host, it can truly receive the Blood God's blessing and become a chosen medium or a Chaos Artifact.

Therefore, it relentlessly entices its host to kill stronger beings. Victory grants power, and defeat allows it to entice even stronger beings.

Either offer the head of a hero to the Blood God, or the Blood God will send a hero who can bring even more heads.

Ultimately, with the last host killed, the demon sword disappeared without a trace.

Now, it has been shaped and summoned in the form of a terrifying demon.

However, when it faced the champion, a true Blood God's Blade, it was unsurprisingly defeated quickly.

Li Yelai paid no attention to the Blood God's Blade, but continued to charge forward, his halberd sweeping across the terrifying demons in front of him like a dragon.

Under the double pupils, whether it's the Zerg hunting Zerg or the green-skinned muscle men they've never seen before.

These terrifying demons were no match for him; Li Yelai would sever both their weapons and bodies simultaneously.

As Li Yelai rushed into the deepest part of the fortress, the spatial rift was rapidly healing.

Through the crack, Li Yelai saw several powerful demonic monsters.

Heavy knights emanating black mist, humanoid terrors covered in crimson, and mysterious armored warriors draped in cloaks.
Even through the spatial rift and the strange passages within it, Li Yelai could sense their power.

These guys are definitely the elite among the terror demons!

This elite group actually fled the scene as soon as they realized the champion had arrived.

"You cowards! You only dare to bully ordinary people?"

Li Yelai uttered a curse that was familiar to them.

On the other side of the passage, one can see the crack healing rapidly.

One of the demons spoke up: "How arrogant! You should be secretly glad we're leaving. Do you really think you're invincible?"

"The Demon General's messenger is dead already? He couldn't even buy a moment's delay?"

"Human champion. Well deserved."

"Champions, we will fight to the very end, on the graves of mankind!"

These elite terrors did indeed consider joining forces to kill the human champion.

They are very strong and outnumbered. Some of the demons among them have powerful backgrounds.

But that consciousness still urged them to leave as soon as possible; now was not the time for a direct confrontation with the champion. The plan against humanity needed to be further refined to prevent unnecessary casualties.

The Rakshasa Demon also vaguely sensed the danger emanating from Li Yelai.

He chose the safest option: retreat. He strongly suspected that the champion possessed a weapon powerful enough to threaten him. Otherwise, why would humanity allow their champion to enter the fog of disaster?

As the crack on the other side of the passage rapidly healed, the demons withdrew their gaze and prepared to discuss their next move.

However, a violent echo from within the passage drew the attention of all the demons.

The spatial rift, which had been healed to the size of a palm, was violently torn open, and the human champion reappeared at the other end of the passage.

As he stood up, his blood-red cloak billowed, bringing an indescribable sense of terrifying oppression.

How could Li Yelai let them escape like this?

They killed so many people, and so many human heroes sacrificed their lives. How can we let these beasts just pack up and leave!

"Come back here! Face me!"

Li Yelai's roar echoed in the spatial passage. He raised his left hand and slammed it down, creating a spatial rift out of thin air.

With the ability to see through weaknesses, even the weaknesses of space become weaknesses. Combined with spatial tremors, this forcefully tore open the previously healed cracks in the passage and forcibly ripped open the door connecting the two places.

That powerful killing intent and fighting spirit made the elite terror demons extremely vigilant.

Damn it, this champion is insane!

If they weren't surrounded and killed by us, do you think they would dare to force their way through the crack to kill us?

Inside the branch fortress, your human reinforcements have arrived, and you have allies. There are too many unexpected events in the fight.

But you think you can take on all of us by crossing the spatial rift alone?

So you are this (thumbs up)
We're here to make sure you get back alive (thumbs up).
The demons sneered inwardly, but dared not underestimate him in the slightest. The human champion's overwhelming rage seemed to ignite the fog of disaster, even startling them.

If a real fight breaks out, several of the elite terror demons present might be replaced.

Or perhaps, some of their original forms of terror were killed by a champion.

To say I'm not worried would be a lie. Who knows what kind of incredible talent this generation's human champion will be?

The Rakshasa who opened the spatial passage calmly looked at the champion opposite him: "You can't get through, champion. We will meet eventually. There's no need to rush."

As Rakshasa said, the spatial rift he created was an anchor point he set up at a certain location.

This is what allows him to open the two rifts and establish a connection between them.

The champion forcefully opened one door, which was indeed powerful, but another door is closing.

Entering the spatial passage rashly will only result in being thrown into some corner between the two. If you're unlucky, you might even be cut off by a spatial rift.

He was right. With Li Yelai's luck, the spatial passage would inevitably collapse the moment he stepped into it.

Therefore, the response to the terror was the fury of the human champion!
Li Yelai tossed aside his halberd, his right hand transforming into a dragon claw. One by one, the sealed lightning ore crystals exploded, unleashing crimson lightning. Before the lightning could spread, it was grasped by the dragon claw with one hand, transforming into a gigantic dragon lightning spear.

Li Yelai swiftly tapped the ground with his left foot, then suddenly hurled it! Outside the crack on the other side, the demons all paled and retreated.

This is the lightning of annihilation, a rainbow piercing the sun!

This wasn't Li Yelai's strongest attack, but since he was currently inside the fortress, the space wasn't enough for him to activate his Dharma Form and obtain the highest boost. But it was sufficient!

The dragon lightning, guaranteed to deal three times the critical damage, roared with endless fury! It charged into the spatial passage, plunging into it before the crack on the other side could heal!

Immediately, Li Yelai released the spatial rift, and the rift quickly healed.

"All psionic units, check the dragon lightning fluctuations in the Void Realm and report back to me immediately!" The champion's voice echoed in the unshielded Void Realm: "I'll make sure they remember our wrath even in hell!"

Li Yelai didn't expect to wipe out all the troublesome demons with a single dragon lightning strike. Instead, he planned to use the shockwave from the explosion to pinpoint the location of the spatial rift on the other side, and then pursue it as quickly as possible!

The same principle applies: the more terrifying demons we kill, the safer humanity will be!
As for the danger, the Old Mad King's clone teardrop is on Li Yelai!
A single teardrop could surround those elite terror demons!
"Yes!"

Within the virtual realm, more than a dozen powerful individuals responded and quickly spread the news.

With the elite Terror Demons gone, a large number of commander insects were precisely killed. Large swarms of insects fell into a state of confusion; without orders, they couldn't even suppress their instincts and began attacking the Terror Demons around them, and they began a bloody infighting among themselves.

The psionicists in Border City 3 are quite professional at dealing with the Zerg swarm.

Meanwhile, a large number of mimicry-like celestial soldiers, along with the arriving human support troops, quickly stabilized the situation on the battlefield and began effectively slaughtering the hordes of terror.

Only after all the demons inside the fortress had been completely wiped out by the Champion Team did Li Yelai look at the Black Prison.

The already shattered gates of the Black Prison have finally been opened.

Emerging from there were a group of wounded, elderly, and young children.

The leader was an elderly man with one arm, dressed in military uniform; his right arm appeared to have been cut open by a sharp knife.

Blood was still seeping from the simply bandaged wound.

His gaze was extremely calm, and Li Yelai could clearly observe the many modifications made to his body.

“Lord of the City,” Li Yelai said. He had learned about the intelligence of Bashu Mountain City and was naturally aware of the old man’s identity.

The old man, the "ninth generation champion," showed a slight ripple in his calm gaze, as if he were sighing: "You shouldn't have entered the fog of disaster. Humanity cannot afford to lose another champion. Sword King's judgment was too radical."

“This is our voluntary support, and we are confident that we can overcome this disaster,” Li Yelai replied.

"I know," the old man sighed, then said, "You are the third champion I have ever seen. You are all so young, yet you have to shoulder such responsibility."

The old man quickly composed himself and said to Li Ye, "Champion, the battlefield must be burned by fire. Your armor and weapons must also be disinfected and cleaned, and it would be best to reforge them. After those green-skinned creatures die, they will rot and turn into spores, and before long they will grow from mushrooms into those humanoid monsters. The information we have obtained calls them orcs, or green-skinned creatures."

Plants can transform into animals and grow rapidly?
"Asexual reproduction?" Li Yelai frowned. "Very fast?"

"Yes, the intelligence indicates that if it's not cleaned up, a bunch of green swarms will grow on the ground in a week to a month," the old man said. "We still can't understand the principle behind this energy conversion."

If the opportunity arises, we could keep a batch of orc spores and cultivate them in the breeding space. Once they turn into green-skinned creatures, we could slaughter them and use them as materials for mimicking celestial soldiers.

Li Yelai pondered this for a moment, then asked, "Who is the leader of the Terror Demons? That red-skinned man?"

"No, they seem to be following the commands of some being. As for who exactly it is, we need to continue investigating. They might not be in our records." The old man's expression was somewhat dejected.

"Leave the rest to me." Seeing this, Li Yelai took out the medicine and handed it to the old man.

The old man did not refuse; after taking the medicine, he handed it to the more seriously injured psychic behind him.

“Alright, thank you, Champion. My adjutant will assist you,” the old man said. “You can allocate the resources within the branch as you see fit. I’m going to rest for a while.”

Several hours later, the battlefield fell completely silent.

The demons either fled in panic or were besieged and killed by powerful humans.

Tens of thousands of bodies were left in this area.

However, the human side also suffered enormous losses, with tens of thousands of casualties, plunging the entire battlefield into grief.

In their efforts to spread a distress signal, almost all eleven breakout teams were wiped out. Only one team succeeded in its mission, summoning human reinforcements and incurring the wrath of the champion.

A crushing defeat was turned into a Pyrrhic victory.
They were all heroes, but they never saw a victorious ending.

Humans had no time to grieve; they had to immediately clean up the battlefield and rebuild their defenses.

The Heavenly Soldiers Furnace brought by Li Yelai was set up, a large number of demon corpses were dragged away, and the branch's spiritual plant reserves were also put into it.

New mimicry of celestial soldiers was forged, while the battlefield was engulfed in flames.

The fallen heroes were also turned into ashes and stored in the branch's shelter.

Humanity had to speed things up, training new combat forces, and large numbers of civilians were conscripted into the army or factories.

The remaining factories are operating at full capacity, forging ammunition and weapons day and night.

Humans are not so easily defeated!
Unfortunately, the fluctuations generated by the dragon lightning Li Yelai had thrown earlier were not perceived by the human powerhouses. The plan to concentrate firepower and decapitate the elite demons had to be temporarily shelved.

Looking at the busy branch, Li Yelai, who could finally take a break, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Inside a cleared hillside fort, he removed his armor and cloak, carefully washing away the bloodstains and grime to ensure no green skin would grow on them.

"So, this is how Captain Yang Chen usually feels."

The hopeful gazes of the people seemed to weigh down like mountains.

You can truly feel that heavy responsibility.

Every instruction he gave concerned the lives of tens of thousands of people.

Each life entrusted to one's own hands carries a weight—the weight of life itself, and the pressure of being a champion.

"This is what it means to be a champion. You have to get used to it."

Cheese held up a cup of coffee next to Li Yelai.

The bitter coffee moistened her chapped lips, causing her to let out a soft, comforting moan.

"Now you understand how much your arrival on the battlefield will boost our morale. Humans will be elated, and alien races will be terrified. This is the mark of a human champion."

Cheese handed the coffee to Li Yelai: "Have some, it'll cheer you up."

Li Yelai took the coffee and drank it all in one gulp.

The bitter taste made his brow twitch, but it also invigorated him considerably. (End of Chapter)
