Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The annihilating lightning, imbued with the power to pierce the sun like a rainbow, struck the ground the instant it fell.

Even before the Queen of Fear was struck, the oppressive force of the thunder made her tremble all over.

Every inch of her skin screamed, every nerve warned that the lightning bolt was enough to pierce through her body and tear her mind apart.

The extreme sense of danger drove her completely insane.

'Live on!'

'I can't die at the hands of this mortal!'

'I absolutely cannot die on this damned rainbow piercing the sun!'

The humiliating images from her memory, combined with the immediate threat of death she felt, triggered the Queen of Fear's most primal fear.

At this moment, her potential was unleashed once again.

Dark gold matter surged forth, like a supernova about to explode.

At that very moment, the Annihilation Lightning, imbued with the terrifying blessing of a triple critical strike, crashed down!

It passed straight through the crimson light barrier and struck the dark gold material throne that the Queen of Fear had unfolded!
The noble empress was dragged off her throne by the lowly mortal she despised!
The raging crimson lightning tore through the earth, causing the already enormous ravine to expand even further.

The collision between the lightning and the dark gold substance was so intense that the entire battlefield's terrain was instantly rewritten.

Faced with Li Yelai's two deadly moves, even the Queen of Fear would find it difficult to withstand them.

As the dust and thunderous roar subsided, the Demon-Sealing Cross and the Divine Weapon had vanished.

The arrogant and noble empress has vanished without a trace, leaving only the remnants of dark gold material dissipating in the air.

However, no trace of the overlord's death could be detected within the virtual realm. This meant that the empress was still alive!

Within the shattered battlefield, in a certain crevice in the ground.

The cocoon woven from dark gold thorns slips off layer by layer like a thin veil, revealing the graceful outline that is faintly visible inside.

The Queen of Fear leaned weakly against the tattered walls of the cocoon, her once majestic battle robes now reduced to tattered shreds. Her fair and delicate skin was covered with scars.

Bright red blood slid down the curves of her body, leaving her, once noble, battered and broken.

She stumbled and fell from the cocoon, her long hair sticking messily to her sweaty neck.

At the severed right arm, dark gold matter writhed and wandered like tentacles, each time it touched the lightning burn mark, it aroused a painful gasp from her throat.

"Damn it. How could he be so...out of control?"

She tried to tilt her head back and adjust her breathing.

A mixture of blood and sweat dripped down his chin, leaving a trail on his snow-white chest. His wet, sticky chest heaved violently, and the faintly visible cherry blossoms trembled with each breath.

This was the first time she had ever tasted defeat!

Resentment, anger, and lingering fear filled my mind.

If the Primarch hadn't intervened, she wouldn't have been afraid of the human champion at all!

Damn Primarch, damn Champion!
She tried to calm herself down; she knew very well that she could no longer fight.

She was too badly injured; her right arm was completely gone. And in order to survive the Annihilation Lightning, she had already consumed too much of her divinity and spiritual energy.

Arrogant as she was, she had no choice but to flee in shame.

At this moment, she actually needs the help and cover of the demons. She can no longer maintain the majesty of a future emperor.

She knew that the Horrors had an ancient tree that could devour everything. Although its sap was not as good as that of the Golden Tree, it could still regenerate her severed limbs.

After recovering, go find the human champion and fight him to the death!
For a moment, she felt a mixture of dazedness and envy.

If she were like the Primarch, able to assist her companions or most loyal subordinates, perhaps she wouldn't have to struggle so much.

But this thought was fleeting; sticking together for warmth is a symbol of the weak, and she should be the only one who reigns supreme!
However, her expression quickly changed.

Because it was just a few meters away from her.

A spatial rift suddenly appeared, and Li Yelai strode in, wielding a blood-red spear. It was like a nightmare descending.

"You can't escape!" Li Yelai activated the Eternal Chosen Face, the Xiang Yu Face.

His double pupils opened, and he thrust his spear forward!
'Damn it, I'm bound to encounter a formidable foe!' The Queen of Fear was filled with shock and rage, especially given her current state of being barely clothed, which only fueled her anger.

Dark gold substance surged and enveloped his body, transforming into battle armor. His remaining left hand clenched into a fist, and he threw a punch.

Dark gold spears and axe blades appeared, all attacking Li Yelai.

At the same time, she shouted in the virtual world, "Come and help me!"

She knew perfectly well how powerful Li Yelai was in close combat, and in her current state, fighting him head-on was too risky. She had to retreat!
Li Yelai activated his double pupils and stepped forward, revealing that the dark gold substance indeed had no weaknesses.

They were originally some kind of psionic entity. But as weapons forged from these entities, they possessed structural weaknesses. Furthermore, given that Li Yelai had now transformed into a divine abomination, these weaknesses were fatal!
Then, the spear suddenly thrust out, a single-handed eighteen-hit combo – Swarm of Bees!
In that instant, it felt as if thousands of spears had been thrust out.

The relentless bombardment struck the Queen of Fear's armor and weapons.

‘click’

The battle blade shattered, the armor peeled off, but the Queen of Fear repaired herself in an instant and once again fought Li Yelai to the death.

Fists, feet, and weapons all came at once, striking Li Yelai.

She was going to engage in hand-to-hand combat, using her enhanced spiritual power to continuously repair her dark gold substance in exchange for Li Yelai's death!

The Chosen One of Immortality's face, the spiritual energy and physical strength consumed in healing her injuries are considerable, but little by little, they add up. She might not necessarily lose!

Moreover, every time Li Yelai was injured, she could manipulate the airflow to deliver a powerful blow to him from inside his wound.

The two sides fought fiercely.

With each collision, the dark gold substance on the Empress's body would be stripped away and then quickly reforged.

A cloud of blood mist will also burst from Li Yelai's body, and he will be repaired and reorganized in a short time.

"Ahhh!"

The Queen of Fear roared. Any other enemy would have died after being hit once, but this bastard was the only one to fall victim to it!

For her, fighting to this point had already become a disgrace.

The two sides engaged in a physical struggle, and entanglement and contact were unavoidable.

With his spear locked, Li Yelai simply chopped off her neck with a hand chop. The Empress dodged to the side and countered with an elbow strike, but was caught, causing their skin to press tightly together. The shattered armor of her chest pressed against the burning body, searing into her soul through the torn fabric.

This caused her to have a mental breakdown, and she was already at a disadvantage, making it even more difficult for her to defend herself.

Once again, she was shot away, and the Queen of Fear felt despair.

She's going to die, she's going to die, die at the hands of this bastard!
But in the next instant, he realized that Li Yelai did not immediately give chase.

The empress ignored everything and fled at full speed.

The champion's psionic energy is depleted, and he's too afraid to fight any longer?

Was it because this body, identical to the original's, softened his heart?
She didn't have time to consider anything else and fled at full speed.

But then he saw a girl standing not far away.

Damn it, it's orcs and mechs! Didn't you guys hold her off?

'I see. So you're leaving me with her?'

The empress remained silent, then suddenly erupted.

She launched her final charge. As the future empress, she would never surrender!
The girl raised her right hand and slapped the Queen of Fear's chest.

"You will eventually become me," the Queen whispered.

The doll remained silent, but it crushed her heart.

In that instant, the aura of the departed overlord rippled and spread throughout the void.
Then, the doll walked step by step towards Li Yelai. Her aura, so unfamiliar to Li Yelai, made her seem like a deity descended to earth. Ineffably noble, untouchable. Her eyes held a cold indifference devoid of any warmth.

The next moment, the god buried his face in Li Yelai's neck, his right hand, which had just killed a powerful enemy, cradling his twisted and deformed left arm.

"It hurts."
