Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

As the final wave of attacks subsided, the overwhelming phantom of the Candle Dragon gradually dissipated under the moonlight. The heavily wounded Candle Night fell heavily back to the ground, kicking up a cloud of bloody dust.

Several sharp slashes tore through the moonlight barrier, leaving gruesome wounds on the Candle Dragon's body. The forced use of Mythical Mimicry further worsened Candle Night's condition; the distortion of his spiritual energy had not yet subsided, and blood continued to spill from the corner of his mouth.

"This was truly a humiliating experience." Zhu Ye spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. "We were ruthlessly ambushed. Those things like Shang usually only appear when a champion advances to the Supreme Realm. I really didn't expect this."

Dawn looked down at the black liquid dripping from his arm, his voice laced with satisfaction and malice: "This is indeed troublesome. Why did I get dragged into dealing with you guys?"

Li Yelai was analyzing the current state of the three of them, and whether, with the help of Little Mad King, they could kill Rakshasa King.

'He's very strong.' Little Mad King's whisper rang in Li Yelai's ears, though it was unclear whether it was her clone or her true form.

"Yes, I see." Li Yelai responded in a low voice as well.

The Rakshasa King's original form was a sealed king of a forbidden zone.

Even within forbidden zones, power struggles exist.

The forbidden areas of several monarchs were particularly fiercely contested.

He was a loser in a power struggle. The reason for his defeat is unknown, but it is clear that he did not master the Xuanwu Sect inheritance method.

Ultimately, it was sealed deep within the forbidden zone.

Because it was sealed, the demon created from its original form was not a king.

His power has not recovered to its peak, and the calamity fog prevents him from developing king-level combat strength. Even if he completely breaks free from the seal, he can only reach the supreme level.

However, even though it is only at the Overlord level at present, it has more advanced combat experience and skills.

After all, as a former monarch, his control over spiritual energy and divinity was far more refined than that of other overlords.

Of course, Dawn and Night also have similar advantages in this regard. They were once kings and supreme beings, and the fragments of their memories have given them incomplete experience and skills.

"We meet again, Ninth Champion." Rakshasa King did not continue his attack, but stood in the spatial rift, calmly looking down at Li Yelai and the others.

"Your abilities are quite interesting. Perhaps, staying at the Giant City branch and joining forces to kill you would have been a better choice."

"Of course, you probably also have trump cards to deal with even stronger opponents. Trump cards specifically designed for powerful individuals like myself. Or perhaps a Chaos Artifact?"

Or perhaps, it holds the king's full-force attack?

He muttered to himself, analyzing whether his judgment was correct.

Li Yelai's eyes flashed. The Rakshasa King's combat strength was undoubtedly top-tier among the overlords. Moreover, he was someone who would inevitably grow into a supreme being.

Moreover, the Rakshasa King's spatial abilities gave the Terror Demons an absolute advantage. Humans were scattered across various dark spaces, while the Terror Demons could move freely. The swarm, despite being in the Second Heaven, was able to suddenly attack other battlefields and then calmly retreat before human reinforcements arrived.

He brought too much convenience to the demons.

They must be eliminated as soon as possible!

However, the Rakshasa King was extremely cautious, as was the case with this surprise attack. He used the so-called 'Sorrow' power, which temporarily distorted Li Yelai and the others.

It was at that very moment that he launched the attack.

After being attacked by the Little Mad King, he immediately returned to the spatial rift.

He didn't continue his attack, clearly worried that Li Yelai and his group might have some hidden cards up their sleeves.

Damn, that's too cautious.

Despite being a sealed monarch, he possesses extremely strong combat experience, has a higher base strength than Li Yelai who has reached the sixth level of awakening, and also has special spiritual abilities.

As a result, they remained extremely cautious when dealing with the weak.

This was far more troublesome than most of the enemies Li Yelai had encountered. Other enemies, seeing that Li Yelai was not as strong as them, tried to crush him directly, but were instead killed by Li Yelai.

Fen Xiao, Ye Han, He Lan, and Mordi all possess this kind of arrogance typical of powerful individuals.

They don't believe they will be defeated by someone of a higher level.

Then, Li Yelai beat them all without them uttering a sound.

However, in its current state, directly confronting the Rakshasa King would be far too difficult. Should we use the Imitation Teardrop?

If possible, it's best to save the simulated teardrop for last.

Once the demons take precautions or take countermeasures, it may not be as effective.

The Fear Demons also have their own strategies; if they discover the clone of the Old Mad King, they will definitely take targeted precautions.

Meanwhile, Rakshasa King silently analyzed the situation. He could sense that Li Yelai and the other two were not in good condition. The impact of 'Shang's' relics was significant, and the three of them had already expended a lot of energy.

Should we take this opportunity to eliminate the champion once and for all?

If this were to happen, the morale of the human side, which had soared due to the killing of the insectoid lord, would inevitably plummet.

But he still had some concerns.

His past failures were like a persistent, deep-seated wound, making him almost pathologically wary of any risk.

He wouldn't have even shown up if the other demons hadn't sworn that 'Sorrow's' relics could suppress the champion.

If Li Yelai has any other methods to target overlords, or even supreme beings, can I escape?

Just as he was thinking, Li Yelai and the other two made their move.

Azure flames surged around Dawn, black wings unfurled behind him, and dragon horns appeared atop his head. He activated Mythical Mimicry: Qiongqi! He activated Mimicry: Dragon Transformation! His physical power was amplified to its peak!
In Zhu Ye's eyes, the sun and moon seemed to revolve, and he held a long spear. Flames and ice collided, fused, and compressed along the spear's shaft. Terrifying power was gathered, about to transform into the sharpest spear ever!

Rakshasa King's eyes flashed. He was well aware of Li Yelai and the others' current state. Did they still dare to fight under these circumstances? Was it a desperate counterattack? Or a trap?

They don't have much psionic energy left, yet they dare to attack head-on?

Sensing the surprise, the Rakshasa King instinctively prepared to leave the battlefield.

But Li Yelai did not launch an attack. Instead, he activated the Huo Qubing mask and used Shadow Army - Swift as the Wind!
Li Yelai's golden wings flapped behind him, causing him to retreat instead of advance.

Like a golden lightning bolt, at a speed that even Rakshasa could feel, it exploded with sonic booms and instantly retreated hundreds of meters.

Rakshasa's heart stirred. Was he sending two heroic spirits to attack him at all costs to create an opportunity for him to escape?

That makes sense. As long as the main body doesn't die, the two heroic spirits can be summoned at any time. It seems they're planning to sacrifice one to save the other!

Or is this also part of the trap?

However, if separated from one's own heroic spirit, the original body will also be in danger.

Rakshasa King then took a step back and disappeared into the spatial rift behind him.

The next instant, a spatial rift appeared out of thin air behind Li Yelai, hundreds of meters away.

This surprised even the Rakshasa King, as this kind of space travel without a fixed anchor point could only stabilize the general direction.

It's hard to tell whether Li Yelai's bad luck or Li Yelai's good luck was the reason that he was able to appear directly and accurately behind Li Yelai.

(Sorry, that's how the Rakshasa King is set up; I'm stuck on this plot logic. My outline wasn't well-organized, sorry.) (End of Chapter)
