Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 314: Chapter 148 Dark Gold Magic Potion

Chu He’s companions by his side all had withered and cracked complexions—a curse inherent in the Lost Land. Or rather, it was the punishment for those who escaped the rules and order of the Lost Land.

In the Lost Land, without sufficient mystical protection, their life force would rapidly be drained.

Eventually, they would be controlled by the rules of the Lost Land, becoming servants of the Forbidden Zone in both body and mind. After one or two generations, they would completely become part of the Forbidden Zone.

Giant City... The Spiritual Ability Users within the Giant City might still feel bound by it.

Only the humans of the Lost Land could comprehend the safety and happiness provided by the Giant City. If they had a Giant City, they wouldn’t be so decrepit.

Over the years, searching for survivors, seeking shelter... only brought their tribe’s population to about a thousand.

It seemed they had reached their limit; in the recent decades, no matter how hard they searched for those shelters,

They had all come up empty. If they failed again and fell into despair, they... might just be the last human group in the Lost Land.

To speak of building cities was one thing, but even mere survival had become increasingly difficult.

They had vested their last hope in Chu He.

Chu He was the most powerful Spiritual Ability User among them and was also an elector of the mysterious ark.

He might lead them out of despair.

As for Chu He, he looked at the Scarlet Tree Liquid beside him and sighed deeply; he understood all too well.

Even with resources exchanged from the ark in such an environment,

It would be difficult for him to become Supreme, let alone a King.

The moment he became Supreme, the powerful beings of the Lost Land would discover him instantaneously.

Without the protection of the most powerful or Giant City, he couldn’t grow to that stage.

The strongest in the Lost Land wouldn’t let him survive; to discover is to obliterate!

Now, killing Gulan Sanks had also been very risky.

”We still need to escape from the Lost Land. To Asia...” Chu He sighed.

But he understood how perilous it would be to take so many people, make their way through the Lost Land to the coast, and then navigate dangerous waters across the sea. However, as long as humanity harbored hope, there would definitely be a way.

He then picked up a large sword: ”Come on, don’t overthink it, leave everything to me. Let’s take the materials back home first.”

”Okay!” The crowd busied themselves.

These materials would be traded within the ark, exchanged for their means of survival.

...

Meanwhile, in the safe house of No.3 Border City, Li Yelai opened his eyes.

At the same time, the space on the ground next to him fluctuated, and a massive Ancient Dragon Heart suddenly appeared.

The strong life force meant that even though the heart had been extracted, it was still beating slowly.

With a ’thump’, the heartbeat emerged along with a powerful oppressive force.

This made the Ye Boshous guarding the safe house feel uneasy, and even Yin Fire’s expression changed slightly.

”Is this Gulan Sanks?” Yin Fire immediately approached, his arm wrapped in black mist that instantly enveloped the entire heart, alleviating the pressure.

A Ye Boshou quickly approached, with cold air spouting from his hands, and as the temperature plummeted, the blood on the heart froze, and the heart’s beating rate dropped sharply.

Yin Fire couldn’t help but frown and said, ”Such terrifying power... Just extracted?”

Li Yelai nodded: ”Yes, just extracted. Chu He went directly into the ark inside Gulan Sanks’ lair.”

”Then he must have some quite powerful companions by his side,” Yin Fire speculated.

”Yes, this is a photo taken by his companion from a distance.” Li Yelai handed over the photo of the subsequent transaction to Yin Fire.

This was the first time Giant City had encountered the landscape of the Lost Land.

”There are no traces of human life in the environment in the photos. Chu He and his group must be in a bad situation; perhaps they are hiding in some shelter or in some cave...” Yin Fire scrutinized the photo for a while and said, ”You could contact him later to learn about the situation in the Lost Land.”

Li Yelai nodded.

”Now that we’ve acquired the heart of Gulan Sanks,” Yin Fire asked, ”have you thought about the Magic Potion?”

Li Yelai smiled slightly.

From the photo obtained from Chu He, Gulan Sanks’ massive Dragon Claw could be seen conjuring the Thunder Spear.

With that... the move would be his!

Li Yelai’s chosen Magic Potion was Mimicry·Dragon Claw, using a variant of Gulan Sanks’ heart!

”However, I must tell you, we can’t experimentally verify this formula,” Yin Fire said seriously. ”Gulan Sanks’ heart is very precious, we can’t provide you with a test.”

”I know, it’s my own choice,” Li Yelai responded. ”I shall bear the consequences myself.”

Yin Fire nodded and then asked, ”When do you plan to make the breakthrough?”

”Today,” Li Yelai thought for a moment and said: ”I’ll go buy the Magic Potion after I return.”

In recent days, his Soul Well had been expanded to its limit. It was time for a breakthrough.

Now, the Magic Potion could be purchased internally, and the mysterious material, Gulan Sanks’ heart, was already in place.

Better today than tomorrow, today Li Yelai would become an Awakened Spirit User!

”Wait,” Yin Fire seemed to remember something and asked: ”According to Chu He’s information, don’t you also need to be struck by ’Thunder’ first? Shall I have Moon Shadow strike you?”

Yin Fire recalled the hidden condition for using Gulan Sanks’ heart. Before using the Magic Potion, the Spiritual Ability User must be struck by Thunder.

Otherwise, the Magic Potion could not transform, truly wasting such a rare material.

It could even cause irreversible harm to the Spiritual Ability User himself.
