Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Just as the war between humanity and the demons reached its most devastating climax, the River Styx suddenly descended.

They used the dead as their army and the River Styx as their border.

The River Styx devours everything equally, and both humans and demons will ultimately find eternal peace in its embrace.
The ancient tree that swallowed everything in the depths of the abyss trembled; as a giant tree with deep roots, it had no way to escape.

They could only watch helplessly as the River Styx approached. The massive branches suddenly twisted and snapped out, unleashing a powerful force that crushed countless dead, but it could not stop the River Styx from getting closer.

Its massive body is being corroded by the River Styx.

The River Styx coiled around its massive branches like tentacles, gradually enveloping it in its dark waters.

The parasitic army that originally belonged to it has now all turned against it, their eyes flashing with purple light, and they are tearing at the living demons and parasites.

This shattered the demons' will to fight, leaving only the Ancient Tree of Devouring to struggle on. It consumed a large amount of the Tree of Life's sap, determined to fight the River Styx to the bitter end.

Until, a bone spear, imbued with the chilling aura of death, shot forth from the depths of the Styx Palace and pierced its branches.

At this moment, on the battlefield of the first level.

Countless living beings fought with the dead, only to become new dead, rising and falling in the River Styx.

The corpses of those who died on both sides of the battlefield were awakened at this moment, their eyes flashing with purple light, and they began to slaughter the living!

Beautiful yet dangerous spider lilies bloom from the River Styx, adorning the black tide. This makes the River Styx both beautiful and deadly.

When the Styx River invaded the King's Land, the pressure on the Black Tortoise Overlord who was maintaining the 'King's Land' increased dramatically.

He assessed the current situation immediately.

The 'King's Land' could not suppress this strange power, and the warriors within the 'King's Land' were also unable to stop this sudden army of the dead!
"So that's how it is." He coughed up a mouthful of blood that shimmered with golden light, and spiderweb-like cracks spread across his body. "The reason Crimson fought so desperately was because she sensed the approach of the River Styx. Damn it, I should have known!"

The Xuanwu Overlord finally understood the unease in his heart and quickly made a choice!

At this point, the battle lines can no longer be maintained.
The dead, the demons, and humans—all the fallen corpses rise again in the River Styx, becoming its minions.

Even more terrifying is that as long as the brains of those who are killed are not completely destroyed, they will crawl out of the River Styx again and again, killing more and more of them, without end!
Moreover, the Styx River itself has supreme-level powerhouses.

It could be something that existed within that palace, or it could be the slain Demon Supreme.

We can't hold on anymore, this time we really can't hold on!

We must go, we must all go, every single one of us!
"Retreat! A full retreat!"

The voice of the Xuanwu Overlord echoed across the battlefield.

At the same time, the royal domain, with a diameter of 100 kilometers, began to twist and deform. Amidst the deafening roar, the golden barrier, like glass stretched by an invisible giant hand, was forcibly extended into a narrow defensive line spanning hundreds of kilometers!

The light curtain, only a dozen miles wide, was now as thin as a cicada's wing, yet it acted like an immortal dam, firmly blocking the surging black tide of the Styx from the royal territory.

That golden dam that stretched across the sky and earth has now become the cruelest dividing line between life and death.

On the human side, a retreating torrent is forming.

Soldiers helped the wounded, mothers cradled their children, and everyone trudged forward through the mud and blood. There were no cries, no chaos, only the continuous relay of orders through the ranks.

"Third Army Corps to cover the rear!"

"Psionicists, clear the way as much as possible. We don't have many vehicles left."

"Leave the heavy weapons to the brothers covering the rear!"

On the other side of the dam, a hellish scene was unfolding.

The hordes of terror pounded frantically against the barrier of the royal land, their rotting faces contorted with fear. Some hordes of terror attempted to pass through the light barrier, but were suppressed in place by the royal land, their movement speed drastically reduced.

More ghouls turned to fight the pursuing dead, tearing their former companions' throats with their claws, only to find in despair that even with broken necks, their opponents could still crawl and grab their ankles.

The terror demons, representing fear, now face the fear of death with equal dignity.

However, the headquarters where the human brethren on the first level are stationed is too far from the node fortress, nearly two hundred kilometers away, and there are not enough vehicles.

There were also a large number of terrifying demons scattered throughout the area, making this evacuation extremely difficult.

As a result, the depleted companies chose to stay.

They knew that at their current speed, they wouldn't be able to reach the node before the River Styx caught up. So they decided to buy more time for their comrades!

They left the vehicle to their compatriots and turned to set up their last heavy weapons.

"Bomb them! I refuse to believe they can get back up after being blown to pieces!"

The gunfire illuminated the soldiers' resolute faces.

Some of them were injured, some had exhausted their spiritual energy, some were still very young, and some had white hair.

But at this moment, everyone stood tall.

An elderly officer lit his last cigarette, looked at the collapsing royal screen in the distance, and laughed loudly: "After living for more than fifty years, I can finally be of some use today."

After firing the last round of shells, the old officer drew his chainsaw sword, stepped into the royal territory, and charged towards the demons and the dead.

"Everyone, let's meet again on the road to the underworld!"

"Yes!" The human powerhouses followed closely behind, ready to become a Great Wall of flesh and blood to fight for that glimmer of hope for their compatriots!

The Corpse King, who was fighting the Black Tortoise Overlord, saw this scene and sneered, "Just a bunch of cannon fodder. Do you really think they can delay the River Styx?"

"Cannon fodder? No, what I see is a group of heroes!"

The Xuanwu Overlord's body cracked like shattered porcelain: "Escape with the forbidden artifact! We must not allow the Terror Demon or the Styx to obtain our forbidden artifact!"

The Martial Overlord's eyes widened in fury: "Old Li."

"Old Liu, I've even poured my bloodline from outside the family into this. I don't want to leave anymore! But the Dragon of Fortune can't be obtained by the Styx. You wait and see." The Black Tortoise Overlord clashed with the Corpse King, his arm breaking off: "After I die, take the Dragon of Fortune to the second level! The rest of you, take the soldiers and civilians to the node. Go to the second level!"

The Corpse King, who fought alongside them, remained utterly indifferent.

The power of the Styx River only made it stronger, as if it had awakened the power of the corpse in life, and its punches almost shattered the royal land.

The Xuanwu Overlord coughed up blood and laughed, looking at the Styx River that had seeped into the royal land, and at the human civilians who were far away from the battlefield. He then released the suppression on Crimson.

At that moment, a frenzied mental pollution spread.

The leader, the Demon of Terror, and the second-ranked Crimson have reappeared!
However, the next moment, the Corpse King's fist fell, attempting to smash Crimson into the River Styx.

The indescribable monster roared and decisively abandoned its entanglement with the Corpse King, wanting to retreat quickly, but was stopped by the Xuanwu Overlord.

Now, both the demons and humans want to escape the River Styx and flee to the second level.

What he had to do was to hold off the demons as much as possible, prevent the rear defenses from being breached, and deplete the undead as much as possible!
Meanwhile, on the other side, above the hospital where the first layer of the array's core is located.

Li Yelai looked at the River Styx in the distance, his heart filled with turbulent waves.

The River Styx actually appeared within the fog of disaster? Two major calamities occurring simultaneously?
You son of a bitch who holds this book! How could you not reveal such important information?

Damn it, given the characteristics of the Styx River, the danger is greatly increased in a space like the Disaster Fog, where the density of powerful beings is off the charts.

Judging from the density of powerful individuals alone, a single calamity fog contained several supreme beings and a large number of overlords.

Aside from the absence of a monarch, the density of powerful individuals in the Styx River is higher than in any other forbidden zone! This significantly increases the danger of the Styx River.

Official speculation suggests that the Styx Horn is a forbidden object originating from the River Styx.

The River Styx, too, can resurrect the dead, and unlike the Horn of the Styx, it can forcibly command the resurrected dead. There seems to be no time limit yet.

It is currently unknown whether the effects of the Styx Horn and the Styx River will interfere with each other.

But in this most intense battlefield, the Styx quickly snowballed in a short period of time.

The appearance of a large number of dead has made the Styx River increasingly powerful.

Now that a supreme-level terror demon has been dragged into the River Styx, the battlefield is out of control.

Unless, unless we can kill our way to the deepest palace in the River Styx, to the underworld.

Completely destroy the Underworld and suppress the River Styx!

That was the plan used by the martyrs who once suppressed the River Styx.

But now, can I even kill them all?

Currently, too much of humanity's fighting force is tied up by the terror demons, and more forces must be deployed to go upstream in this River Styx!

However, as humanity gathers its forces to fight against the Styx, the Terror Demons will inevitably seize the opportunity to strike.

Humans and the Terror Demons are mortal enemies, and even with the appearance of the Styx River, they will not join forces to fight against it.

Only when one side is completely wiped out will the other side feel at ease.

"Xiao Ye, the array's core cannot be broken." The doll's voice came: "If the space recovers, we will no longer be able to stop the Styx River."

Indeed, the Dark Tri-Heavens divide the space into three independent layers, connected only by 'nodes'.

Now, facing the invasion of the Styx, locking it in the first layer is the best option.

If the space were to return to its original state, humanity would have no safe haven, and the River Styx would be even more dangerous.

Unexpectedly, the forbidden object prepared by Demon Abyss Mountain to kill humanity has now become the opportunity for humanity to defend against the River Styx.

Meanwhile, those human warriors who were still fighting on the royal land, resisting the River Styx.

This allows our fellow humans in the rear to catch their breath and thus gather a stronger force.

“Doll, teammates, you two go and escort them back to the second level. There are still quite a few Terror Demons along the way,” Li Yelai said. “Make sure they get back to the second level as easily as possible.”

"Are you going to act alone?" the doll asked.

Then the figure of Little Mad King emerged from the shadows: "I plan to investigate the Styx River and determine their combat strength level."

“It’s too dangerous.” Li Yelai shook his head: “Even you would be at risk of being exposed.”

"So what do you want?"

"I plan to test whether our trump card will fail when facing the Styx!"

Li Yelai's golden wings flapped behind him as he rapidly approached the 'Wangtu' defense line.

The defenses here are not protected by any human powerhouses; they can only temporarily hold back the approach of the Styx River, and can only suppress the invading demons and undead.

When Li Ye arrived, demons and the dead had already invaded the royal land, but they seemed to be held captive by a heavy pressure, and their movements were very slow.

When those terrifying demons saw Li Ye arrive, even those with beast-like faces showed expressions of despair.

Behind them was the River Styx, and before them stood the Champion. They were truly in despair. If the Lord of Azure Flames didn't have a racial fastidiousness, they would probably all have turned to worship him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Yelai immediately activated the Eternal God's Chosen Face.

Ignoring the demons' astonishment, he stepped forward and punched a minotaur straight through.

The Minotaur stared wide-eyed and died without any surprise.

Li Yelai pulled his arm out and smashed the head of another demon with a punch.

Immediately, he grabbed the corpse and began the Chaos Ritual.

'All things decay, but life endures!'

Green smoke billowed from the corpse of the second ghoul, which then instantly decayed, emitting a pungent stench.

This caused the nearby ghouls to scratch their necks in agony. Even pulling out their trachea couldn't stop the invasion of a terrible virus.

Soon, several ghouls were killed by the plague virus.

The minotaur suddenly stood up. Clearly, it had become a zombie.

This is a chaotic ritual of the immortal gods, and also one of the methods for creating living corpses.

At this moment, the living corpse, under the command of the chosen one, stepped into the River Styx and fought with the dead.

The undead were quickly killed by the dead, but were not controlled by the River Styx.

"In that case, the Eternal Army can still deal with them. Although they can't turn the dead into living corpses, the living corpses won't be controlled by the River Styx either," Li Yelai thought to himself.

Immediately, spatial fluctuations flickered in his hand as he took out the Styx Horn.

The moment the Styx Horn appeared, all the dead in the vicinity turned their gazes toward Li Yelai, and even the ancient Tunna Tree in the distance trembled at that moment.

From the depths of the River Styx, several sharp gazes were cast upon us.

"You better not let me find you!" Li Ye replied coldly, directly sounding the horn.

As the horn sounded, the deceased became angry and agitated.

But clearly, they were not resurrected by the horn and remain under the control of the Styx.

On the contrary, the terror demon that had been poisoned to death by the virus opened its eyes again, looking confused and not knowing why it had died.

Li Yelai didn't give them a chance to react before throwing them all into the River Styx.

Watching them fight the dead, Li Ye confirmed that although the Styx Horn's effect was not as strong as the Styx River, its priority was the same.

Meanwhile, in the physical world, a major event is taking place.

A six-winged female angel from the Heavenly Realm, the overlord of the dying Heaven.

During the standoff with the border city's legion, they were suddenly attacked by Yang Chen, the eighth-generation human champion. They subsequently lost contact, their fate unknown.

Amidst a vast army, can the ruler of the restricted area be slain?

His arrogant demeanor enraged the powerful figures of the Heavenly Realm, but the pursuing forces still failed to find the champion, Yang Chen.

When the dying man awoke, he found that all his bones were broken and he was surrounded by mist.
The boundaries of heaven may have already been forgotten.

Overlord of the Fallen Heaven is the overlord of the Heavenly Realm who survived the attack from champion Yang Chen during the Enchanting Dance incident.
And what she feared, naturally, was the champion, Yang Chen! (End of Chapter)
