Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The Dragon-Headed Demon King retreated rapidly, creating a distance of hundreds of meters between himself and the spatial rift, and arrived outside the iron cage where the prisoners were held.

At that moment, it was incredibly grateful that it hadn't eaten all the humans it had captured. Instead, it had left a batch as backup food.

These humans might be the key to its escape from the clutches of the human champion.

Since no demons responded, he knew he wouldn't receive any reinforcements.

The Dragon-Headed Demon King cursed inwardly and analyzed which area he should go to if he wanted to escape.

Should we go to the orcish territory? Or head to the battlefield of the Queen of Dread? Or perhaps, lead the champion into the territory of other dreadlords?

If they are unrighteous, then they shouldn't blame themselves for being unjust!

Almost simultaneously, the spatial rift was about to close when, unsurprisingly, it was torn open again by the violent force.

It transformed into an even larger spatial rift, from which Li Yelai emerged stepping through the flames.

The violent, malevolent aura instilled an overwhelming fear in all the demons present.

They once wantonly slaughtered humans and devoured their flesh and blood.

The arrival of the human champion awakened their terrifying instincts.

The demons, who had been so cruel and bloodthirsty to ordinary humans, now trembled slightly with fear as they held their weapons. Some demons, overwhelmed by terror, even dropped their weapons and fled.

"Champion!" roared the Dragon-Headed Demon King.

Its large sword slammed heavily against the metal cage, producing a piercing sound.

The threat was clear, and the demons turned their weapons on the humans in the cages.

Those locked in cages were emaciated. But their resentful and hateful gazes filled the Dragon Head Demon King with fear.

It had seen many such looks before, but never felt this kind of fear.

Flames flickered in this human's eyes, flames of vengeance, blue flames!

Like that rebel from before.
Li Yelai burst out of the crevice and stepped onto the wet, damp ground.

At the same time, a strong stench of decay and blood, along with the smell of burnt roasted meat, rushed into my nostrils.

This caused Li Yelai and the others' pupils to suddenly contract.

In that instant, they seemed to see hell. This place seemed to be a mountain fortress that had been forcibly carved out from the outside.

At this moment, the viscous blood plasma flowed down the stone bricks of the fortress, forming streams that meandered into a dark red river network.

Hundreds of mutilated human skeletons were piled up against the wall. A child huddled beside the pile, clutching a rotting finger. A pregnant woman's abdomen was cut open, a purplish-black umbilical cord wrapped around a rotting fetus. Human soldiers stared in fury, their weapons still locked until death.
Dried sausage casings hung on lanterns and tree branches, and a large pot that was still burning contained a thick layer of grease, in which several small corpses floated up and down.

On the rock walls and anti-aircraft gun mounts, there were iron cages covered with sharp spikes. Inside the cages were dozens of gray faces, their skin pierced, and blood dripping down, forming pools of blood on the ground.

A human psionicist who wasn't quite dead yet. Pierced through the chest, he hung above a pool of blood. His limbs were severed, and his eyes were already dull and lifeless.

But at that moment, he seemed to see something, or hear something.

He managed to utter his last words.

'kill'

'kill! ’

"kill!!!"

Inside the cage, the surviving humans shed tears of blood from their eyes, letting out fragile yet resolute roars.

It uttered the most venomous curses and the most earnest pleas.

"Don't worry about us, kill them all!"

At that moment, Li Yelai's murderous aura solidified around him, resembling a crimson mist. The champion's cloak emitted a terrifying battle roar!
The sun and moon revolved in Zhu Ye's eyes, and strange, different colored moonlight shone down from the fog of disaster, transforming into eerie, illusory armor on his body.

As dawn broke out, blue flames erupted from his body, as if responding to the flames of vengeance in the eyes of the human prisoners!
At that moment, the Dragon-Headed Demon King felt as if he had made the wrong choice.

These human prisoners had no intention of living. And the human champion wouldn't allow himself to live either!
"Kill!" The Dragon-Headed Demon King roared fiercely, and his voice alone caused many human prisoners to bleed from their seven orifices.

Even if it dies, it cannot let the human champion get what he wants!

With its power, it could kill the human prisoners on the scene in an instant.

In that very instant, it and its demons, who were also preparing to attack, joined forces.

Suddenly, I felt a strange and dangerous feeling coming from behind me.

The demons' movements slowed and became hesitant; some even turned their heads abruptly. The mere fleeting afterimage made them suspect they were about to be assassinated, and their bodies reacted instinctively.

And it was this momentary delay that caused them to lose their chance forever.

The demons were beheaded in an instant, and tall figures flickered in the shadows, ruthlessly and efficiently reaping the lives of the demons.

At the same time, golden light flashed, and Li Yelai arrived in front of them at a speed that even a demon king could not react to!
The halberd thrusts straight at the demon king!
The Dragon-Headed Demon King roared, brandishing his battle blade to block, and the moment the weapons clashed...

Li Yelai closed in, and his right leg suddenly lashed out like a giant axe!

Dare to compete in a physical contest?
The Dragon-Headed Demon King roared, his left hand transforming into a dragon that instantly unleashed a devastating attack!

Dragon Fist!

The next moment, its three-meter-tall body was lifted into the air and blasted away by the violent force.

Golden wings flapped behind Li Yelai, propelling him straight into the sky, instantly reaching a height of hundreds of meters.

The immense power damaged the Demon King's once-proud and powerful body, breaking his fingers, shattering his palms, and even bending his left hand.

Li Yelai's right calf also suffered a fracture, and it hung down unnaturally.

The Dragon-Headed Demon King was astonished by Li Yelai's physical body, but it also realized that it had left the battlefield and now only it and Li Yelai remained.

'So you intend to keep me away from the human prisoners, to prevent the battle's shockwaves from affecting them? Foolish!'

The initial unease gradually dissipated.

'I can't beat all four of you, but I can't beat just one of you?'

The Dragon-Headed Demon King sneered inwardly, fearing being surrounded and attacked.

But at this moment, it seems there's no need to worry about that issue anymore.

The dragon-headed demon king roared wildly, its body swelling and twisting in an instant.

It transformed into a giant, dark red dragon!
The dragon roared, fierce and enormous.

But the next moment, it looked terrified and fled like a madman.

At that moment, on the ground, some humans or demons looked up.

Then I witnessed that mythical scene.

A cry from the very beginning of time exploded from the depths of the clouds! A giant roc, large enough to cover the entire sky, suddenly appeared, its wings outstretched, as if suppressing the heavens!

Claws shot out, tearing the demonic dragon to shreds! Blood stained the sky!
Deep within the calamity fog, mysterious demons claiming to be able to communicate with the consciousness of the calamity fog were exchanging information rapidly.

"Damn, is the ninth-generation champion really this strong?"

"Even the Insect Lord is dead!"

"Now it's the Dragon Head Demon King's turn!"

"Three waves went, and three waves died. There won't be any more terrifying demons willing to be the fourth wave! If they get killed through the spatial rift again, the losses will be even greater. Let's abandon the Demon King."

"If we give up on it, after this, no demon will trust us again."

Originally, none of the demons would submit to the others.

If they didn't possess enough resources and intelligence to motivate the Demons through incentives, they simply wouldn't be able to mobilize them.

Now that this has happened and so many losses have been incurred, if the Demon King is allowed to die, the other demons will likely no longer cooperate with them as before.

Because of their plan, the Demons suffered heavy losses, especially the death of the Insect Lord.
That's the biggest problem; their command structure could be destroyed.

"That Queen of Fear?"

"She's busy dealing with her Primarch and has no interest in cooperating with us."

"Let's use 'Sorrow's' relics."

"What about the fifth generation? Although he's a Terror Demon, he's still slaughtering Terror Demons!"

"Take out the Ninth Generation first, then we'll consider the Fifth Generation! We can't keep him alive! He's too dangerous, too unpredictable!"

"If I had known this would happen, I should have brought it out during our first encounter."

"Bring out that, the champion's nemesis!" (End of Chapter)
