Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The three champion capes fluttered like battle flags, heralding humanity's battle song.

Within the dark space of the first level, three large battlefields appeared.

On the first battlefield, human powerhouses used the forbidden Grade A artifact, the 'Dragon of Fortune,' to fight against the Supreme Corpse King and suppress the Supreme Crimson. Simultaneously, they faced attacks from terrifying demons from different directions.

A large number of powerful humans transformed into 'royal guards' under the infusion of dragon energy, their pupils igniting with cold, gilded flames.

They are forgetting emotions—fear, hesitation, even love and hate. But in return, they are gaining the strength to fight against despair!
The entire defensive line had been turned into a meat grinder, but there were simply too many hordes of demons.

With the weakening effect of the 'King's Land' buff, human defenses were torn apart by the legions of the terror demons.

However, just as the demons who had breached the defenses were preparing to enjoy the fruits of their victory...

What they saw was not a panicked, fleeing army, but a far more enraged human being!

The weapon array set up by human soldiers spewed flames. When gun barrels overheated and warped, they were replaced with grenades and bayonets.

The militiamen, who had only been trained for a few weeks, ran out of ammunition and used steel-reinforced spears to pierce the throat of the terror demon, only to be splattered with acid and become a bloody mess themselves.

An elderly man with white hair dragged a gas cylinder from the ruins, laughed wildly, lit the fuse, and charged into the enemy ranks.

The teenage boy, trembling, raised his entrenching tool and smashed the head of the monstrous creature that lunged at the wounded. His tears were still wet, yet he had already learned to roar like a warrior.

Even an elderly woman with white hair stood behind the barricades, holding a kitchen knife.

She may not even know what psionic energy is, but at this moment, the future of humanity is what she is protecting!
The entire battlefield resembled a giant grinding wheel of flesh and blood.

People fall every minute and every second, but more people immediately step up to take their place.

Even the most timid and cowardly person roared furiously at this moment.

The second battlefield is the node fortress where several overlords, including Yan Shuang, and the human elite are located.

They held the fortress and occupied the key points, facing an onslaught from various terrifying demons.

The orc army was indeed vast, but they were also the elite fighting force of the human side, assisted by tens of thousands of mimic celestial soldiers. They too held their ground fiercely, their battle cries shaking the heavens and earth.

The Frost Overlord stood atop the highest point of the fortress, his icy energy transforming into countless frost blades. Each strike froze a large number of dread demons into ice sculptures, which then shattered and scattered.

The Stake Lord laughed maniacally as he pounded the earth, countless rock spikes erupting from the ground, piercing the charging dread demons into a bloody thorny mess.

The outer walls of the fortress had long been stained black and red, and every brick was embedded with broken weapons and teeth.

The corpses of the ghouls piled up like mountains in the trenches, and the monsters that followed continued their charge, stepping over the remains of their own kind.

But no matter how the enemy surged, the battle flag on the fortress remained standing.

The third battlefield groaned in agony amidst the clash of supreme beings!
The supreme orc leader faces two peak champions at the same time.

The orc leader roared to the sky, a deafening 'waaaaaa'

The sound waves distorted reality, and the laws of physics bowed down beneath them.

He casually conjured a blazing psionic sun, its blinding white light instantly evaporating the air within a radius of several miles, turning the earth into a sea of ​​lava, and even distorting space itself in the intense heat!

But the next moment, the fifth-generation champion, transformed into a gluttonous beast, roared and howled.

The gluttonous beast's gaping maw suddenly opened, creating a terrifying suction force that formed a black hole vortex. The destructive sun was forcibly pulled and deformed, turning into a stream of fire that was swallowed whole by the gluttonous beast.

Devouring the heavens and the earth!

The second-generation champion wielded a battle axe, causing the entire battlefield's magnetic field to emit an unbearable shriek.

The ground surged like a living thing under the control of the magnetic force, a mountain was uprooted, and a giant dragon-like whip shadow, carrying millions of tons of rock and soil, lashed at the orc leader with the force of earth-shattering destruction!

The orc leader's body was shattered, but he spat out some saliva, wiped his wounds, and quickly recovered.

This is aid from the ancient tree of Thunna.

Three figures clashed wildly in the shattered battlefield, each exchange causing cracks to appear in the battlefield's structure.

The champion's strength is on full display at this moment!

While the three battlefields were locked in fierce combat, Li Yelai and his two companions were rapidly moving southwestward in this space.

That was a remote area of ​​this space, outside the giant city, and closer to the dark abyss.

That is the location of the array's core on the first level.

Now, the key points of the second and third layers of the array are already under human control.

As long as Li Yelai occupies the 'array eye', they can work together to cancel the Dark Three Heavens and restore the distorted space to normal.

At that time, the dragon vein will be restored, and the 'Long Dragon of Fortune' will cover the entire fog of disaster. With the support of the meridian array and the mimicry of celestial soldiers, humanity will be able to build an impenetrable defense, thus completely reversing the course of the war.

As a result of the doll's curse of fear, most of the terror demons that act on instinct dare not approach it.

Even some of the leader-level terror demons who were able to take action dared not rashly stop the combination of the doll and the champion.

Without the Supreme Being in charge, who the hell can stop these two overlord-level terror demons?

Moreover, the elusive female assassin made them even more hesitant to act rashly, suspecting it was a trap.

This champion might be planning to lure them in to kill them!

Only the ancient, swallowing tree in the abyss writhed violently at this moment. Countless parasitic creatures fell, transforming into ferocious predators.

The 'center of the formation' was too close to it; it didn't believe the champion was just passing by.

The Ancient Tree of Swallowing is an enormous tree, rooted beneath the cliffs of a dark abyss, yet its lush branches still reach towards the sky, obscuring half the heavens.

Although it is not like the ancient golden tree, capable of supporting an entire forbidden zone, its level of life surpasses that of a monarch.

However, it is also extremely powerful. Judging from the level of life alone, its ability to absorb ancient trees has surpassed that of most supreme beings.

Unfortunately, its true form remains an ancient tree, unable to move or fight.

They can only use parasitic creatures to fight and hunt.

But that's enough time for the Terror Demons to buy themselves some time. Once the Supreme Terror Demon is born, even the champion will have to avoid its sharp edge.

Meanwhile, in a corner deep within the swirling fog...

The demons that communicate with the disaster fog are rapidly mobilizing their forces.

Humanity has made breakthroughs so fast that they have already overcome them before humanity has even developed its countermeasures.

"The king's land is impregnable; those humans are like madmen. They show no fear whatsoever!"

"The existence of champions is enough to inspire human morale, and now there are three champions! Humanity is fighting to the death! Unless the human champions are defeated, human morale will never collapse. Back then, did you ever see a mad mortal planning to use firearms to surround and kill the overlord, the Terror Demon?"

"We must rescue Crimson first, although we don't know why it suddenly reacted so strongly. But once it breaks through the suppression, we will win. The human champions have used all their methods and can no longer stop the Supreme."

"Both champion hordeo actually went against the malice inherent in hordeo and assisted humans? The legacy of champions is indeed quite intriguing."

"No, according to the intelligence from the forbidden zone creatures we killed, that location is the core of the first level of the formation!"

"They want to dismantle the Dark Triple Heaven! Mobilize all available forces to stop the Ninth Champion! Even if it costs us our lives, we must hold him off!"

"We don't have a champion, so the demons won't dare to fight to the death. Let the Ancient Tree of Tunna hold them off for now!" Even those who had been hiding behind the scenes were getting impatient.

"Has the Supreme Terror Demon not yet been born? What do the leaders guarding him say?" one of the Terror Demons asked. "Contact them and inquire about the situation!"

However, the other demon stared in shock at the crystal before him.

The three crystals representing the leader, the Terror Demon, were now dull and lifeless.

This indicates that they are already dead.

"What happened? They were attacked? In that location? Who could it be?" The Demon of Terror was shocked and furious, thinking that a powerful human had invaded the area.

However, they saw the hazy fluctuations emanating from the consciousness of the disaster fog, a fluctuation filled with complexity and fear.

What? Fear? Wailing?
How could a terrifying fog, a fog that gathers fear, possibly have such emotions?
what happened?
However, the demons fell silent the next moment, because while they were discussing, a phantom stream of water had somehow seeped through their mysterious defensive barrier.

Even more bizarrely, the leader of the terror demons guarding the outside world appeared on the water, its eye sockets flickering with eerie purple flames, and with each step it took, a patch of purple spider lilies emitting a ghostly light bloomed beneath its feet.

"Back off! This is not one of our comrades!"

A terrifying demon roared and stirred up a hurricane, but the gale, powerful enough to tear steel apart, passed through the black water as if it were just an illusion.

"What is this? Sinful Black Mud?" The demons quickly dodged, only to find that the water had already seeped into their surroundings. Before they even realized it, the river had already surrounded them.

"Then we would have died long ago. That's a power far more terrifying than the corruption of chaos. And this..."

A monstrous demon gazed at the dark, illusory river and whispered, "It is the River Styx. Great consciousness of the Calamity Mist, prepare to escape. If you can still do it."

As the mysterious demons surrounded them, they unleashed a fierce divine power.

Even though they remain behind the scenes, they are still powerful demons.

The battle was fierce yet swift. When everything calmed down, purple light flickered in their eyes, like the red spider lilies in the River Styx.

Meanwhile, on the first battlefield.

Even at the edge of the royal land, black tides surged in.

The moment the black tide entered the royal land, the expression of the Xuanwu overlord who maintained the 'royal land' changed drastically, and the pressure surged.

As these black tides surged into the battlefield, the powerful warriors from both sides who had died, whether human or demonic, rose from the battlefield.

The purple light in my eyes stretched endlessly, like a sea of ​​flowers.
The 'Long Dragon of Fortune' even let out an angry roar on its own.

"go!"

On the other side, Li Yelai had already spotted the enormous ancient tree in the distance.

We also saw buildings located in the wilderness.

That was originally a hospital, but it was moved here due to a distorted spatial arrangement.

The pristine white walls were stained with blood and riddled with bullet holes.

A large number of terrifying demons have taken over this place.

With the arrival of the dolls and the champion, they began to riot.

"Found it, the core of the first layer of the array." Li Yelai's gaze swept over the giant tree in the distance: "Is it the Ancient Tree that can devour other trees? If it can fight in its original form, we probably won't be able to stop it."

"Its vitality is amazing!" the doll said. "If there's a chance..."

"Hmm." Li Yelai nodded. The life sap of this ancient tree was crucial to the Old Mad King. If he had the chance, he would have to break it down and squeeze out all its sap!
Give Old Mad King a good boost to his lifespan. Then, who cares about the resurgence of Black Origin City? Let him taste Old Mad King's fist first!

The pitch-black abyss where it is located is also an extraordinary mineral vein in the Demon Abyss Mountain.

If this place can be hollowed out before the disaster fog dissipates, it would be a significant improvement for humanity.
However, strange things happened.

Suddenly, the ancient tree in the distance let out a mournful cry.

The massive tree trunk swayed, and a large number of parasites surged out like snowflakes, but they did not attack Li Yelai; instead, they frantically pounced on another group of terrifying demons!
The bizarre scene left Li Yelai and the doll bewildered. Internal strife? At this moment?
But soon, as they drew closer, Li Yelai noticed that the demons fighting the ancient tree parasites all had purple light shining in their eyes.

At the same time, Li Yelai also noticed that beneath the feet of those terrifying demons, dark river water was surging and spreading at an unstoppable speed toward the abyss where the ancient tree was located.

"The Sea of ​​Black Mud?" Li Yelai was shocked.

He had an unexpected audience with the Lord of Azure Flames and saw Him walking on the Sea of ​​Black Mud.

According to the fragments of Dawn's memory, it was not a sea, but a manifestation of all the malice in the world.

Could it be that someone, fearing the Sea of ​​Black Mud, has instead created this terrifying demon?

What? Has anyone seen the Lord of Azure Flames within this calamity fog?

No, it's not that the Calamity Mist dares not create such a terrifying demon, for fear of directly attracting the attention of the Azure Flame Lord himself.
However, Li Yelai soon saw an even stranger scene.

Those ghouls killed in the battle, unless their brains were damaged, all rose again. And the dead parasitic creatures, soaked in the black tide, also rose again.

The purple light they saw was so eerie.
They then all turned and attacked the ancient tree, which struggled frantically, seemingly trying to escape the abyss where it was rooted. But they only saw more black tide surging into the abyss.

Countless wails echoed through the sky and reverberated across the battlefield, but in the end, only streaks of purple light flashed.

The dead. Resurrected?

The dark and illusory tide
In that instant, Li Yelai stopped abruptly. He had guessed at some terrifying possibility.

Meanwhile, the demons protecting the ancient tree also collapsed.

They had witnessed the ferocity of human champions and the power of forbidden objects, but they had never faced such terror that transcended comprehension.

The dead are the army, the River Styx is the border!

This is not a battle at all, but a great purge from death itself!

"This is... the River Styx!" Li Yelai couldn't believe it. Why would the River Styx appear here?
Two calamities occurring simultaneously?

In an instant, the entire royal land let out a mournful cry of unbearable burden.

The originally circular defensive domain stretched wildly amidst the earth-shattering tremors. The golden barrier of fortune was torn apart as if by an invisible giant hand, forcibly extending horizontally for hundreds of kilometers, almost spanning the first layer.

It is deforming, burning, and collapsing.

However, it also firmly blocked the black tide of the Styx outside the 'King's Land'!
"Walk!!!"

The roar of the Xuanwu Overlord resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and his body was cracking at the core of the royal land.

Hot blood gushed from every crack, transforming into golden runes that forcefully held together the crumbling bulwark of the nation's destiny.

"Everyone, evacuate the first floor immediately!"

His voice, now carrying the muffled sound of flesh disintegrating, still resounded like thunder in every human ear.

"Before I am swallowed by the River Styx"

"Hurry up and run!!!" (End of Chapter)
