Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 488: Chapter 230: Conquest_2

At the same time, he saw a figure in the Thunder Pool.

The figure was dressed in Black Gold Bright Armor, holding a domineering Fangtian Halberd in one hand and a thirty-meter-long Red Thunder Blade in the other, rushing toward the depths of the factory like a Chaos Demon descending into the physical world!

”Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God, a skull for the throne!” the figure laughed loudly, his enormous Thunder Blade recklessly harvesting everything before him.

A Chaos Egg, struck multiple times by thunderbolts and charred all over, still moved instinctively. As the figure approached, it furiously pounced on him, its powerful tentacles lashing out. But it was cleaved into two halves by a single stroke of his blade!

This sight made Liu Zhuo’s hair stand on end, and pus-blood dripped heavily from his armor. He turned instantly, thinking of retreating with his team.

However, due to the pressure from the Thunder Pool, a large number of Blood God Sect and the Knight Order were entangled together, greatly reducing the knights’ mobility.

Liu Zhuo dared not delay any longer, abandoning the idea of reorganizing his troops and instead controlling his warhorse to stride into the sky, trying to flee deeper into the factory.

But as he ascended, Li Yelai noticed him.

A Fifth Sense Plague Knight? Quite the big fish!

He hoped this one’s head would bring him even more blessings!

Li Yelai no longer held back, activated his Face, and invoked Sealing Langju Xuhuo Qubing!

Shadow Army, Swift as the Wind!

Li Yelai usually didn’t use his Face, fearing that Calamity might affect his teammates or companions.

But at this moment, with no companions around and the Little Mad King having distanced himself,

He had no reservations!

Let Calamity come fiercer!

In an instant, Li Yelai’s speed surged, carrying countless thunders into the battlefield!

At that moment, whether it was the Plague Knight or the Bloodsucker, or even the believers from both sides, were all terrified.

”Divine Chosen One, no!”

”Lord Di Yun, leave it to us!”

”Don’t come here! Ahhhhh!”

Amid the fearful screams of the believers from both sides, Li Yelai charged into the battlefield with endless thunders.

Liu Zhuo spurred his warhorse to its limit, but still couldn’t escape the Thunder Pool, being struck by thunderbolts repeatedly.

He was knocked down by a thunderbolt, crashing heavily to the ground. A large amount of foul-smelling pus-blood flowed from his armor.

”I’ll fight it out!”

He roared, activating his Spiritual Energy to wield his ability!

Vicious pus-blood gathered, forming dreadful Curse Spears. In an instant, dozens of Plague Spears emerged.

Merely touching one point would infect the opponent with a terrible plague, and even if the opponent’s body was strong and not easily killed, it would greatly reduce their combat power.

This was his last stand!

However, even as the Curse Spears were still in mid-air, Liu Zhuo felt a gaze that made him tremble, every rotting piece of flesh in his body quivering...

It was Him! He was watching me!

I finally drew His attention, my kind Father God!

Will You save Your believer and slay this fearsome enemy?

Let me... become a Divine Chosen!

Will You let me ascend as a Great Demon?

I won’t let down Your expectations, I will surely share plague and corruption with every living being in the world!

However, to Liu Zhuo’s horror, that gaze shifted... moving away from him, turning towards the terrifying figure.

No, Father, please watch over me!

Does he carry a purer form of plague than me? Does he truly have something that attracts Your focus?

Why? Why, my Lord! Kind Father!

Liu Zhuo howled, yet he saw on Li Yelai something that everyone avoided... a curse!

What was that? Why was the world resisting, and even the vilest corruption steering clear of... a curse?

Kind Father, are You anticipating the ’rebirth’ he would bring?

The next instant, that enormous Thunder Blade swept across, slicing off both the Curse Spears and Liu Zhuo’s body!

With a singular strike, he killed the enemy general, yet no cheers followed.

After all, there were hardly any living people nearby.

Within a one hundred meter radius around Li Yelai, the area had become the Thunderbolt Forbidden Land. Regardless of which faction the believers and mightiest belonged to, ALL suffered the attack.

Ordinary believers were struck dead instantly, while Bloodsuckers and Plague Knights could only struggle to remain alive, ultimately turning into charred corpses after consecutive strikes.

Thus, no one on the battlefield could cheer for Li Yelai.

But Li Yelai did not care, hurling the Thunder Spear directly towards the densely packed battlefield afar!

The Thunder Spear swallowed the Blood God and Eternal Life believers along its path, striking vehemently into the battlefield.

It carved a terrifying deep scar on the ground!

And as the Thunder Spear hit its target, the thundercloud above Li Yelai’s head gradually dissipated.

”One mustn’t”accidentally kill” too many, otherwise, it would invite the dissatisfaction of the two Divine Chosen.”

But it was enough; the recent Thunder Pool Forbidden Land had eliminated hundreds from both sides.

Li Yelai thought this as he picked up the Black Gold Dragon Spear and walked towards the battlefield. Those from the Blood God Sect who had escaped the Thunder Pool followed behind Li Yelai, trembling with fear.

The look in their eyes towards Li Yelai grew increasingly filled with awe.

However, a Blood Fly crawled out from the ruins and swiftly flew toward the depths of the fortress.

This anomaly also caught the attention of several powerhouses in the battlefield.

Red Fury exclaimed in surprise, ”Is that...Lord Di Yun?”

”It seems so, whoever our lord takes notice of is certainly no ordinary person!”

”We need to act quickly; we can’t let Lord Di Yun take the lead!”

...

Deep within the fortress of the factory, a towering figure in Battle Armor oversaw the entire battlefield, surrounded by a dense swarm of Blood Flies. Yet, his body emitted a strong floral fragrance.

Seconds later, a Blood Fly returned from the battlefield and landed on his Battle Armor. He spoke, ”I’m sorry, Black Umbrella, our transaction will have to be put on hold for now. With three Blood God Chosen Ones arriving, even I must withdraw.”

”Three? That’s indeed bad luck,” said a young man in a black suit, sitting in a chair, legs crossed.

He was spotlessly clean, his shiny black shoes polished to gleam, starkly out of place in this filthy environment.

In his hand, he held a folded Black Umbrella with mysterious red patterns emerging on the handle.

He was indeed Black Umbrella!

”It looks like we’ll have to wait until you deal with the situation before we can trade,” Black Umbrella said. ”Do you need my help, Mo Ya God Chosen? I am actually quite looking forward to the Blood God Chosen One’s body.”

”Always so greedy, you already have so many powerful corpses.” Mo Ya responded, ”Even... that one piece of the Champion’s remains!”

”It is indeed just remains, though. Without your powers, it’s difficult for me to fully restore her body, let alone make it move,” Black Umbrella said with a light laugh, then asked again, ”Do you need my help?”

”No need for now,” Mo Ya responded. ”But we indeed need to retreat. Please follow me, my respected guest. This time, I also saw a rather interesting Divine Chosen.”

”Interesting? Divine Chosen?” Black Umbrella said. ”Aren’t they fond of straightforward brutes?”

”Indeed they are. But this one is still special. Our Plague affects beings of the Physical World, opening the cycle of life for them. That unfamiliar Blood God Chosen One... seems to harbor some virus that unsettles the world,” Mo Ya said.

”Oh? So to the world, he’s like a plague? A plague aimed at the world?” Black Umbrella asked.

”A fitting analogy,” Mo Ya smiled. ”It would be good if he could pray to the Father. Unfortunately, he has already embraced the Blood God.”

...

On the other side, the Eternal Life Faction’s resistance completely failed.

They even tried using a terrifying ritual to unleash a huge Corpse Demon, only to be directly slain by the two Divine Chosen Ones.

From then on, the Eternal Life Faction began to flee towards the back mountains.

The Blood God Sect then began a massacre, leaving many Eternal Life believers behind, their corpses strewn across the countryside.

After Li Yelai, Red Fury, and Xue Yin regrouped, they integrated the troops for a new round of pursuit.

During the chase, Li Yelai spotted a small town hidden in a valley, enveloped in some type of mist.

The remaining Eternal Life believers rushed into the town, with the Blood God believers closely following.

However, Li Yelai slowed his pace.

”Well, isn’t this inconvenient?” Li Yelai thought to himself, just as he saw those Blood God believers approaching the town suddenly start dissolving, their skin rapidly decaying, flesh dissolving swiftly, and screaming in agony as they turned into puddles of blood mud.
