Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

At that moment, the humans and demons locked in battle looked up at the sky.

The wondrous sight beneath the sky was reflected in the pupils of all living beings.

Thousands of heavily armored shadow cavalry charged through the air, their iron hooves shattering the clouds. Behind the leading general, a scarlet cloak billowed wildly, like a burning beacon or a glorious battle flag!
That's a human champion!

He leads his massive army to the battlefield, and he will bring glorious victory to mankind!
that moment.

Humanity was thrilled: "Great! They're the champions!"

The terror demon cried out, "Damn it, it's the champion!"

Everyone knows that humanity is no longer going to lose this war caused by the Queen of Fear!
Meanwhile, the several leaders of the Terror Demons who had originally been holding back Yan Shuang and the Golden Wing Overlord quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

As the saying goes, "a person's name casts a shadow on a tree," meaning that if we're talking about the previous champion's reputation, they were only somewhat wary.

After all, these primal beings came from all over the world, of different races, and were not even from the same era.

While there are doubts about the champion's strength, we won't underestimate them, but we won't pay too much attention to them either.

They've seen plenty of human prodigies. But at most, you're only at the sixth level of enlightenment. You think you can surpass me?

Just over ten hours ago, Li Yelai shattered the arrogance of the terror demons with the most outrageous victory.

Taking advantage of his companions' rise to power, he successively killed several leader-level terror demons, including the Undead Legion and the Dark Knight.

They went against the current again and beheaded the insect lord.

After slaughtering all the supporting demons, they didn't stop there. Instead, they launched a surprise attack and killed the Great Demon King.

Finally, they stopped after killing the Rakshasa King.

The psychic gift bestowed by the Supreme One after his death caused a slight increase in the psychic power of many humans and dreadlords, something the dreadlords dare not forget.

When this monster arrives on the battlefield, who the hell dares to stop it?
With the champion's performance, killing them would be a piece of cake.

Thus, the three leader demons, who had previously been evenly matched with the two overlords, suddenly found themselves separated.

In reality, Li Yelai had no time to pay attention to them.

The moment he approached the battlefield at top speed, he spotted the doll.

That innocent girl who only had eyes for herself.

Now, her face was stained with blood, as pale as snow. Her long hair, stained with blood, clung messily to her pale cheeks. Her left hand hung limply, her slender fingers twisted back in an eerie way, like a doll whose joints had been broken by a child.

But she paid no attention, her gaze fixed on her enemy, the Queen of Fear.

The girl's current demeanor made Li Yelai feel even more unfamiliar with her.

Vast and distant, it seemed to no longer belong to this world, but rather to gaze upon a distant shore unreachable by mortals.

That was not death, but some kind of crueler stripping away.

Her humanity faded, like morning mist about to be evaporated by the sun, or like snowmelt eventually returning to nothingness, indifferent and detached.
But the moment Li Yelai entered her field of vision, a subtle ripple appeared in the depths of her empty, deep eyes, like the twinkling of starlight.

Li Yelai's heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

The next moment, an overwhelming rage swept over his entire body like raging fire.

Queen of Fear, you beast, what did you do to my girl?
"I want your life!"

The champion's roar resounded through the sky, and thousands of shadow soldiers gathered and spun behind him, melting into a jet-black spear in the charge, piercing through the sky!

Thunder and lightning strike!

Faced with the enraged champion, even the arrogant Queen of Fear restrained her arrogance.

Even knowing almost all of Li Yelai's trump cards and abilities, she would never underestimate this guy.

She had a face that looked exactly like a doll's, and she looked at Li Yelai with an indifferent expression that a doll would never have.

A vast and extremely compressed wall of air instantly condensed, as expansive as the ocean, perfectly protecting her within it.

At the same time, the dark gold thorns wrapped around and reshaped, transforming into three dark gold spears radiating destructive power beside her.

For the Queen of Fear, the appearance of Li Yelai was the greatest malice the world could inflict upon her.

Not only was he unafraid of the curse, but he also unfortunately appeared next to the Primarch, and his appearance and personality just happened to match their aesthetic.

The final result was that he desecrated the noble body of the original and the body of a future emperor!

In particular, she possesses most of the Primarch's memories and knowledge.

In her memory, the image of the original body shyly asking for it, then getting a taste of its flavor, then becoming unable to stop, and finally begging for mercy in a low voice, made her feel even more ashamed and humiliated.

If it weren't for him, the Primarch might have been able to accept everything and reach the pinnacle much earlier!

But it doesn't matter. Now that she has appeared as a demon, we can set things right! We can completely shatter the original's attachment!

In the next instant, the wind and thunder struck and pierced the vast air barrier with unstoppable force!
However, the air barrier, which was almost a physical barrier, caused the speed of the thunder and lightning strikes to decrease uncontrollably.

When Li Yelai was about two hundred meters away from the Queen of Fear, the Wind and Thunder Strike was like an exhausted arrow, tightly bound within it.

The powerful attack, capable of severely injuring a hegemon, failed to harm the Queen of Fear.

This is the advantage of intelligence; the Queen of Fear knows Li Yelai's abilities and trump cards, his facial makeup, the Divine Demon Monument, the Sea of ​​Heroic Spirits, and even his powerful physical strength.

This is her advantage over other terrifying demons. She will never allow Li Yelai to get close to her, nor will she use her volcanic lightning to give Li Yelai the opportunity to replenish his lightning and unleash a powerful dragon lightning attack.

'The most dangerous aspect of the Wind and Thunder Strike is its extreme speed and impact; once the speed decreases, the danger disappears.'

So, the moment Li Yelai slowed down, she sneered and waved her hand.

The massive, dark gold thorny spear shot out directly.

But the next moment, a blue light flashed on Li Yelai's body, and the spear in his hand twisted.

Spatial rifts burst forth, instantly diluting what appeared to be a tangible wall of air.

The invisible wall was indeed without any weaknesses; it was extremely compressed air, not a physical object, and therefore had no weaknesses. But Li Yelai, possessing the Qilin mimicry, could shatter space itself!

Li Yelai, who had been restrained and slowed down, accelerated again, like a bolt of lightning, instantly dodging the dark gold spear and attacking the Queen of Fear once more.

Similarly, she understood Li Yelai's abilities, and Li Yelai was also aware of hers.

'You shattered my invisible wall with a spatial tremor. But what about this?'

The Empress sneered, and dark gold thorns around her expanded like a tide, transforming into more spears and shields, like guards protecting her.

This dark gold substance is a new ability she gained after becoming a hegemon: Divine Path - Silence of All Things.

In conjunction with other divine abilities, it undergoes compression, qualitative change, and refinement, ultimately transforming into an entity where spiritual energy and divinity are intertwined.

This is the material she created, and it is also her unique power and strength. The material itself has a powerful destructive force, is almost indestructible, and has no weaknesses.

This was information Li Yelai didn't know. This was her and the Primarch's new trump card!
But the next moment, Li Yelai, who was about to collide with the dark gold spear, suddenly swung the curved blade in his left hand.

At the same time, the Queen felt an unprecedented sense of danger. Almost instantly, her black dress shimmered with a dark golden light. Dark golden thorns surged behind her, seemingly about to engulf her.

But it was too late; a spatial rift appeared out of nowhere less than five meters behind her.

Li Yelai, carrying the heavy force of wind and thunder, burst out of the crack and thrust his sharp spear directly at the Empress's back.

Space jumps combined with powerful enemies are bound to be encountered, and this is also a trump card that the Empress is unaware of!

Li Yelai leaped directly from hundreds of meters away to behind the Empress, who was surrounded by layers of protection!
'boom'

The terrifying attack was as if it were about to knock down heaven and destroy the gods!

The air was compressed into a solid state at extreme speed, forming visible white air burst rings that crashed to the earth with world-destroying power!

This caused the already ravaged ground to be carved into a huge ravine a kilometer long.

And at the very bottom, in the deepest part of the ravine.

Li Yelai's impact continued, his terrifying double pupils flashing with blue light, spatial rifts bursting open one after another with the impact, and his golden wings flapped behind him again, increasing his speed once more, as if he wanted to send his enemy to hell!

At the tip of the spear was the Queen of Fear.

At this moment, she no longer possessed arrogance or nobility.

Her long black dress was tattered and barely concealed her battered body. Blood trickled down, staining her fair skin and creating a strikingly alluring image.

Forced to lower her arrogant head, her cherry lips, which had once held a mocking smile, trembled slightly, uttering not a vicious curse, but a blood-stained gasp.

The spearhead was pressed firmly against her chest, piercing her skin, and the dripping blood made the spear even more vivid and dazzling.

Her hands, wrapped in dark gold thorns, gripped the spear tightly, preventing it from advancing again.

Behind her, more dark gold forbidden energy expanded, stabilizing her figure.

"You really show no mercy," the Empress gasped, her doll-like face turning to Li Yelai. "You didn't hesitate for a second when you attacked this face."

At this moment, the empress's arrogance and indifference vanished, replaced by a genuine doll-like quality.

But Li Yelai wouldn't fall for it, especially after encountering the illusionary enemy; he had become desensitized to such a foe.

"You dare mention her again!" Li Yelai roared, twisting his spear in his hand.

However, the next moment, the rock wall behind the queen shattered.

The dark gold thorns have already expanded, transforming into a forbidden zone of death.

At the same time, it also created space for the Queen to retreat.

The moment the dark gold thorns blocked Li Yelai's path, she retreated in an instant.

The moment the distance was created, dark gold thorns enveloped his entire body, transforming into a battle robe that clung to his skin.

Clearly, she was terrified of Li Yelai's leaping attacks.

Arrogant as she was, she refused to admit it, and her precise and direct appearance at close range during the spatial jump made her feel troubled.

Even though she has extremely high spiritual talent, her current physical strength is only at the level of a dominant force. Perhaps because she has consumed certain spiritual plants to strengthen her body, she still cannot compare with Li Yelai.

If she were facing other enemies, she wouldn't need to worry about this at all.

The power of fear kept her enemies at bay.

Even if she gets close, she can manipulate airflow, air pressure, and divinity to fight back.

Just like the previous orc leader, who was even stronger than Li Yelai, she defeated him with a single move.

But Li Yelai's spatial tremor counters air compression, the Divine Demon Stele counters divinity, and he is not afraid of fear or curses. He is practically a natural enemy.

'As expected, he had to die!' the Empress thought to herself, cursing the Primarch's stupidity. Hadn't she noticed?
Immediately, even denser dark gold thorns unfolded, forming defensive lines around her.

The next time someone attempts to teleport in front of her, they will be torn apart by the thorns!
In the next instant, she saw a sky full of golden light.

A huge golden ripple appeared in the sky.

'That's... a divine weapon, a mental attack? Planning to play ranged against me?'

'What's the next tactic? After losing the attack, attract heavenly lightning. Then use the dragon claws to gather dragon lightning for another attack?'

'Use the Dharma Image to bless that damned rainbow piercing the sun?'

The air around the Empress shifted, making her even more agile in order to dodge the next attack.

But as her gaze swept across the sky, she saw an exaggeratedly large golden sword slowly emerge from the ripples.

'Only one? It's so big, and it takes so much mental energy. Isn't that the tactic?'

At the same time, black patterns spread across the sword.

'It seems they used the Great Archer's Mask, the Divine Path's Heaven-Piercing Sun-Splitting Strike. Instant death, not bad. But how could such an attack possibly hit me?'

The Empress was analyzing the situation rapidly in her mind.

At the same time, her figure retreated rapidly. More dark gold thorns coalesced.

She understood Li Yelai like a doll, and knew his tactical thinking.

This kind of instant death, which contains a mental attack, is indeed difficult to deal with, but as long as you don't get hit, you can avoid it.

But in the next moment, her rapidly moving figure was forcibly stopped, and three blood-red crosses appeared. They connected to form a blood-red light curtain, enveloping her within it.

And it is rapidly shrinking, encroaching on the Queen of Fear's maneuvering space.

The blood-red light in Li Yelai's hand burst forth.

That is the Demon-Sealing Cross!
'A seal? An ability I don't remember—is it a forbidden object or a secret treasure?'

The Empress's expression changed slightly. The dark gold thorns transformed into a spear and pierced directly into the blood-red light barrier, creating a small hole. However, the blood-red threads inside the hole began to wriggle and repair themselves as if they were alive.

She could indeed shatter those light barriers; her attack power was immense. But it would take time. A few seconds? A dozen seconds?
But Li Yelai won't give her that time!
In that split second, the sky was torn apart by a black light!
The divine sword that had been floating in the clouds was now completely corroded by ominous black patterns. As it fell, it left not a trail of light, but a pitch-black path that devoured all light.

The sword passed through the crimson light barrier without any hindrance, heading straight for the Queen of Fear.

The empress roared, and the dark gold thorns changed shape in countless ways.

Some transformed into spears, others into scythes, frantically attacking the blood-red light barrier.

At the same time, countless dark gold thorns gathered and reassembled, transforming into a giant hand reaching for the black sword.

The moment the giant hand collided with the sword, the ground of the entire battlefield sank instantly, and even the empress's figure trembled.

But a terrifying divine power blossomed, and the divinity of the Queen of Fear was fully unleashed.

The sword's downward speed actually slowed down. It was less than ten meters from the Empress, yet it seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

"You can't kill me; that's the chasm between gods and mortals!" (End of Chapter)
