Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

For the warriors in each shelter, this is a glorious expedition!
Soldiers and psionicists from different sanctuaries converged behind the champion, transforming into human spearheads to sweep away the demons.

From east to west, they traversed the territory of the Terror Demons, sweeping away several Terror Demon strongholds, and continued their advance with overwhelming force!

The demons were terrified and all avoided its attacks.

Only those terrifying demons that rely on instinct continue to wreak havoc, and are then undoubtedly destroyed!
Until the giant python, hundreds of meters long and coiled underground, burst out of the ground, its ferocious horns beginning to show their magnificence, its terrifying power overwhelming!

However, the champion wielded his spear and directly lifted it up! The scene of using a B-grade psionic weapon to pierce through the giant python's scales and lift it up was too shocking.

In an instant, the human powerhouses swept up like a storm. Amidst the flashing blades, the giant python's roar abruptly ceased, and its eighteen severed bodies crashed to the ground, its blood gushing like a waterfall!
Subsequently, the overlord-level Soul Well collapsed, and its flesh and blood became food for humans.

At that moment, even the terror demons that hunted by instinct dared not approach any further.

Their instincts were driving them to flee the legion!

Even the arrogant leader-level freaks have fallen silent at this moment.

Now that things have come to this, they have naturally seen through humanity's plan.

Such a large-scale troop mobilization involved drawing so much combat power from various already short-staffed shelters.

A large number of terrifying demons were eliminated, reducing the pressure on various shelters.

And the direction they're heading is definitely to attack the 'point'!
But knowing this is one thing, at this moment, the vast majority of the terror demons do not want to face the champion and the legion he leads!
Even though Li Yelai wasn't wearing the champion's cape, they could still feel the immense fighting power gathering within him.

Those powerful humans gathered behind him, seemingly capable of breaking through any military formation!

"Is this what it means to be a champion? Is it his personal charisma? Indeed, to become a human champion, one must be extraordinary!"

"After he killed the Rakshasa and defeated the Empress, his momentum was unstoppable; who dared to face him?"

"Who can deny the strength of such a person? As a comrade-in-arms, who would refuse to fight alongside him? As an enemy, who wouldn't treat him as if facing a formidable foe?"

"And when such a figure personally leads the troops in a charge, who can dare say they can stop him?"

"If the forces are evenly matched, can the orc leader stop them?"

"Hmph." A dreadlord chuckled. "But it's impossible for their forces to be equal. Humans can't muster millions of soldiers. And the orcish army continues to grow!"

"The orc leader's strength is still increasing. Their race is truly born for war; the more they number, the stronger they become. With the addition of the Corpse King of the First Heaven, we will soon have two Supreme Beings!"

"As for the champion."

"Now that we know humanity's tactical objectives, the champion will ultimately target the Forbidden Zone Legion. So let's go there and defeat them!"

"He is the banner of humanity, so let us cut down this banner!"

The Horrors weren't the only ones watching the human legions. The Chaos Legions were also observing silently.

On a broken overpass dozens of kilometers away, a girl riding a plague-ridden warhorse gazes at the human army in the distance.

It was none other than the Demon General Bai Ya!

Looking at the distant legion, her eyes were filled with jealousy and longing.

As a demon general of chaos, how wonderful it would be to fight alongside Lord Emperor Yan.
She longed for it so much.

Unfortunately, that person still leads the human army as the human champion.

Until the distant legion disappeared from our perception.

Bai Ya then spoke, "Did you feel it, everyone?"

A Plague Knight spoke up: "Our Lord's power is spreading, Lord Emperor Fall, who has clearly begun to take control of the human army!"

This is something that excites Chaos, given that the human legion has only been assembled for a few days.

The power of chaos began to spread quietly, spreading rapidly like a plague!
Outsiders might not notice, but how could these church elites possibly overlook it?

Among the human legions that are gathering, there is a large amount of chaotic power, and it is growing rapidly.

This rising power fascinated them, as if they could see thousands of believers.

That's incredibly efficient!
At this rate, it won't be long before the entire fog of disaster is filled with believers of Chaos!
Millions of Chaos believers, and countless killings and viruses?

This is the chosen land for demon ascension!

Even the Plague Knights gradually began to stir.

Baiya was naturally restless as well. As a demon general of the Blood God faction, she desperately wanted to charge into the enemy ranks with Emperor Yun and offer up countless kills and heads!

Enjoy the endless war and slaughter together, and bathe in blood alongside the adults.

How could those powerful humans who follow the adults possibly take her place?

As the number one demon general, she is the Emperor's personal bodyguard!

'That's my spot! I'll take it back sooner or later!'

Bai Ya thought to himself, "This moment won't be long. I really want to see the expressions on humanity's faces when they find out that the champion is God's chosen one."

"Don't rush, everyone." Baiya restrained his impulse well and instead reassured the Plague Knights: "The Lord's operation has already begun, we just need to wait."

"The demons won't let you, sir, launch a surprise attack on 'Point' without a trace," Lan Ci said, returning to the Chaos Forces. She had transformed from a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl into a young woman.

"They didn't have that chance." Bai Ya sneered. "Since the master sent you back personally to deliver the message, it means we should properly entertain the Terror Demon. Be thankful, if it weren't for the master's mercy, you wouldn't have been able to leave the sanctuary alive!"

Lan Ci nodded repeatedly. Of course she knew that she should have died the moment Liu Bo discovered her.

Liu Bo harbored deep hatred for the Chaos Believers. If it weren't for the need for cooperation, she would have been chopped to pieces and fed to the dogs long ago. Her survival was entirely due to the orders of Lord Emperor's Fall.

"Also, is there any trace of that Demonic Illusionist of the Chosen of the Deceptive Path?" Bai Ya asked.

“No, his abilities are far too unique. Moreover, as a chosen one of the unorthodox gods, or even a creation of the gods, our divination cannot predict his location.” A Plague Knight responded, “We were even misled and ended up fighting a leader of the dreadlords.”

"Damn those treacherous cultists!" Bai Ya gritted her teeth, her gaze sweeping over the Plague Knights under her command. She even suspected that the chosen ones of the cult had already infiltrated her ranks.

At this critical juncture, we absolutely cannot allow the unorthodox methods to interfere with Lord Emperor's plans. Bai Ya pondered for a moment: "Let's clear away any obstacles for the Lord first!"

Since we cannot be certain, let's refrain from approaching Lord Emperor's Fall and keep the risks away from him.
Then, with a thunderous thud, the Plague Knights vanished in an instant.

After they left, the unseen figure vanished from the shadows like a wisp of smoke.

On the other side, the troops behind Li Yelai numbered over 10,000, including nearly 100 psionicists.

With the legion arriving at the West City branch, the soldiers' tense nerves were relieved, and they were able to rest and recuperate.

To alleviate the pressure on the sanctuary, which had been depleted of troops, the legion practically fought its way through, which kept the freaks from showing themselves for the time being.

Meanwhile, the troops and elites dispatched from the nearby shelters had already assembled within their respective branches.

This is the limit of the power that humanity can exert in this space while protecting the various shelters.

In this battle, only victory is possible!

The legion immediately began to rest and regroup, replenishing its weapons and ammunition. They needed to be at their peak to face the legion in the forbidden zone.

Those previously ignorant and ruthless demons have become the legion's food reserves.

Li Yelai entered the West City branch and retrieved his equipment from the craftsmen.

The Bright Armor was perfectly repaired, while the Crimson Spear was transformed into a Fangtian Halberd.

Because its main body is engraved with red feather patterns.

Therefore, it was also named the Bloodwing Crimson Gold Halberd.

"While the Overlord's weapon is more durable, it requires divine essence to unleash its power. Your Excellency, you have not yet ascended to the Overlord level. You cannot unleash its power, so please be careful," the craftsman said solemnly.

Li Yelai nodded, but what he lacked now was a sufficiently resilient weapon; he wasn't demanding too much in terms of ability.

After a short period of use, Li Yelai became familiar with the Bloodwing Crimson Gold Halberd.

Immediately afterwards, they rushed to the South Fifteen Shelter and retrieved the restored Mad Dragon.

Upon returning to the West City branch, Li Yelai saw Little Mad King in the apartment corridor.

“I’ve learned of Baiya’s movements.” Little Mad King stepped out of the shadows: “They’re preparing to intercept the Terror Demon.”

“As expected, Baiya remains loyal to Diyun,” Li Yelai replied. “Has there been any reaction from the Forbidden Zone Legion?”

"Naturally, they have already learned from the information provided by the Terror Demons that we are assembling a legion."

Little Mad King nodded: "The leading overlords of the forbidden zones are mobilizing their forces. Although their combat strength varies, they have a large force, exceeding 100,000. Although some beings in the forbidden zones are unruly and fight independently, they have chosen to unite against us."

"They also have three forbidden items, the specific effects of which are unknown."

"While I was lying in wait, they were still debating whether to launch an attack or call back the third-level legion to defend."

"They really are in cahoots with the Demon of Terror," Li Yelai mused. "That makes sense. After all, many of them are beings from forbidden zones. Even if they die, they'll only be banished back to the Void Realm. What they want to do is exhaust humanity's elite forces in the Calamity Mist. They're truly despicable. As for fighting amongst themselves, why?"

"From their argument, we learned that a significant portion of this group of powerful beings from the forbidden zones are prisoners from the Dark Abyss within Demon Abyss Mountain," Little Mad King explained. "The Dark Abyss is a giant extraordinary mineral vein within the forbidden zones, and also the place where the forbidden zones punish those criminals. Beings thrown into it must collect extraordinary minerals in the abyss to exchange for survival supplies. They are similar to slaves."

"The No. 49 Disaster Fog may have appeared in the pitch-black abyss."

"The Abyss King must have sensed the appearance of the Calamity Fog long ago and sent in more living beings to create more Terror Demons, thus increasing the difficulty of the Calamity Fog."

"Among those prisoners, some were beings from forbidden zones who had lost in power struggles, some were humans from forbidden zones, and some were simply believers in Chaos or powerful humans who had been captured."

"Even after an internal purge, they were unable to silence all voices."

"That's really insidious. Enemies with sharp minds are the most troublesome," Li Yelai said after thinking for a moment. "But it is precisely because of this that the Champion Terror Demon was born."

The fifth champion appeared in the form of a terror demon.

This was clearly the product of the fear of some creature from a forbidden zone.

The fifth champion did not attack humans; instead, he distanced himself from them and turned to fight the terror demons.

It must have been really tough on him.

The malice of the Terror Demons towards the Shaper, and other intelligent beings, is locked.

The authorities have discovered through investigations on some human-inhabited freaks that this malice drives them to attack humans. Even if the freak itself harbors no hostility towards humans, the malice is almost irresistible, and this is the freak's limitation.

The fifth-generation champion went against that malice to kill the terror demon, protecting humanity from another perspective.

This also meant that the Demon of Terror lost a powerful combatant.

Otherwise, even Li Yelai would feel uneasy facing a reigning champion. A champion from a higher level? That's highly unrealistic.
However, from another perspective, what if there were a few other demons who had seen other champions and developed a fear of them?

This will allow more champion terrors to emerge!

If all the champions in the past appear in the form of a demon, then the human side can just attack directly!
Who's afraid of who? Eight top champions, even a few supreme beings would be crushed by you!

The champion team will be an invincible combination in the fog of disaster!

"The probability is very low. Including you, only three champions have ever come to Demon Abyss Mountain," Little Mad King analyzed. "They are the second generation, the fifth generation, and you, the ninth generation. And the probability of seeing a champion and still surviving is very low. Unless, after being exiled, you returned from the Void Realm and were swallowed by the Calamity Mist."

"I actually hope there are such unlucky souls," Li Yelai chuckled. "If our compatriots outside could catch these forbidden creatures and throw them one by one into the disaster fog, that would be good too."

But both of them knew it was a dream. The situation outside was probably tense enough that no one could accurately locate those creatures and capture them alive to bring them here under such circumstances.
With 20,000 against 100,000, Li Ye couldn't bring himself to say, "The advantage is on my side."

He knew very well what was going on. He was facing a well-organized legion of the Forbidden Zone, possessing several forbidden artifacts and numerous overlords, as well as those restless demons.

The casualties in this war will be enormous, and Li Yelai doesn't know if he can bear the weight of so many lives and so many expectations. But there's no turning back now.

So, in the dead of night, all the artillery outside the shelters near the battlefield roared in unison!

It transformed into the boundless glory of humanity, spanning giant cities and ruins, and bombarding the defenses of the Forbidden Zone Legion!
The next moment, the roars of the human warriors resounded through the sky!
"Gentlemen, follow me to construct the formation!" (End of Chapter)
