Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 316: Chapter 149: Four Awakenings! Mimicry·Red Thunder Dragon Claw!

Compared to the Awakening process before, the corruption by the Void Realm’s power was clearly targeted this time.

Every time there was that barely audible voice, tempting Li Yelai to linger before a certain illusion.

It was the image of his deceased mother, the truth of knowledge, the beautiful girl.

And, according to the official investigation into the Void Realm,

in that endless Void Realm, there existed some strange beings that humanity could not spy on, the most terrifying of which could not even be known to Spiritual Ability Users with a Low Awakening.

Because, to utter Their names might draw Their gaze.

The more you know, the more dangerous it is...

And from research, humanity obtained a harrowing result.

Human positive emotions, instead, became the cause of corruption!

Brave warriors corrupted by valor, scholars by truth, those who enjoy emotions by desire, those seeking immortality by life...

They infiltrate everywhere, lying in wait to corrupt human hearts from every angle.

And this time, Li Yelai even heard that beguiling voice.

Could it be... that Four-Eyed Giant that once tempted him from the throne? Big Four Eyes?

Was this, a hint not to rely on Mr. Shadow? Even presenting him another choice?

Li Yelai was somewhat surprised, this was the first time Mr. Shadow had been noticed by the outside world.

No, perhaps it was not a detection of Mr. Shadow, but rather an inference that Li Yelai had defeated the Insect Master. It was deduced that there was another unfathomable existence behind Li Yelai...

Li Yelai did not respond; he was not interested in being a Blood God believer.

Even without dealing with Mr. Shadow, there was no reason for him to engage with the Blood God.

The case of the Ember Church was still fresh in memory, even in pursuit of power, there was no need to resort to the embrace of Chaos. At least... not for now...

But that voice spoke up again, ”You cannot always rely on Him, and My Lord’s gaze is ready to bestow upon you at any moment. If you crave a blessing... offer a sacrifice.”

This was really a dedicated salesman, unfortunately with rather clumsy tactics.

Li Yelai continued forward, drawing closer to his Soul Well.

The Soul Well, said to be a well, resembled more a passage, a channel for humans to get closer to the deeper Void Realm.

As Li Yelai approached, new powers began to seep out gently from the Soul Well.

But danger followed as well.

Red Thunder flashed under the starry sky of the Void Realm.

The remaining projection of Gulan Sanks reemerged!

Its size had greatly reduced, but it still spanned over twenty meters in length. It roared and howled,

venting its unwilling malice!

In the midst of endless hatred and malice, Li Yelai’s body experienced sudden distortion, his limbs bent, and scales pierced through the skin, claws grew on his hands and feet. Behind him, flesh burst open, and an incomplete dragon wing emerged, white as stone dragon bones rapidly solidifying, flesh growing wildly.

Li Yelai... was undergoing rapid Dragonification!

This was the residual power of the Ancient Dragon in the Magic Potion, which died by human hands, its heart turned into a Magic Potion by humans, this filled it with immense rage. It couldn’t rely on this power for revival, but it could drag Li Yelai down to the Abyss with it!

Meanwhile, Li Yelai’s heart began to beat violently, strong power surging from within.

A crimson aura poured out from the heart, spreading throughout the body.

The voice Li Yelai had ignored did not get angry but calmly stated, ”You can’t avoid it; you’ve already been marked by My Lord, you will eventually become the Blood God Chosen One. Do not resist, embrace the glory of battle!”

It was an inevitable risk, after unexpectedly using the Heart of Slaughter to fortify his body, Li Yelai seemed to have been targeted by the Blood God.

And as the crimson aura poured out, Li Yelai’s right hand, undergoing Dragonification, briefly reverted to its original form.

But in the next second, a thick crimson Arm Armor coalesced onto his arm.

The armor bit by bit consumed the Dragonification distortion, the strong desire for slaughter eroding Li Yelai’s consciousness.

”Alright alright alright, so this is how you want to play! One of these days I’ll cut down you, Big Four Eyes, and offer you to your Blood God! Of course, you might see something else first!” Li Yelai cursed.

But what he said was indeed a fact; if Li Yelai later reached the Nine Awakenings, becoming a King,

he would undoubtedly have to battle this Big Four Eyes. If he slain it, the offering probably wouldn’t be for the Blood God, but would instead be devoured by Mr. Shadow.

”It matters not!” the other party laughed, ”I am looking forward to our fight! May our blades draw blood, relentless until death!”

A madman who revels in endless slaughter!

Are all Blood God believers like this?

Li Yelai silently cursed his bad luck.

In the Physical World, the previously quiet Awakening Room now emitted a piercing alarm.

Red Thunder appeared from nowhere, destroying all instruments in the Awakening Room, lights shattered, devices were wrecked, even the observation window’s glass showed dense cracks.

And Yang Chen, holding his breath and focused, watched Li Yelai, whose limbs were now distorted.

He spoke calmly, ”Don’t panic, don’t rush... Night General is no rookie, he has experience in suppressing the Ancient Dragon!”

As much as he said that, cracks had already appeared on the ground under Yang Chen’s feet.

He too was in a state of tension.

After all, Gulan Sanks was a Seventh Awakening Ancient Dragon, even if turned into a Magic Potion, the power it contained was terrifying.

The only thing that gave Yang Chen some solace was that Li Yelai currently only had physical distortion, his consciousness still resisting.

However, when crimson Armor appeared on Li Yelai’s arms, Yang Chen’s expression stiffened.
