Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 508: Chapter 239: Is it that sharp? Black Umbrella

The mangled female corpse hovered over the battlefield, holding a pure white Han Sword, towering above all living beings!

She was also connected by an opened black umbrella linked with blood-red meridians. Yet, with a mere gesture, she scattered a terrifyingly potent spiritual energy, directly suppressing all the Elite Night Patrol!

Two full teams of Elite Night Patrol, clearly capable of combating the Sixth Sense, were utterly powerless under the brilliance of the sword light, heavily wounded and knocked down.

A single sword strike heavily injured ten Elite Night Patrol!

And there, the female corpse silently stood aloft in the sky, even the Taboo Item that rendered Aerial Stepping ineffective within the entire town had no effect on her.

For her power soared above that Taboo Item!

Her body was incomplete, yet her charm was undeniable, like a White-Clothed Sword Immortal who had descended from the heavens, transcending the ordinary and achieving divinity!

And the Elite Night Patrol, seeing that figure, let out furious roars.

Even the Little Mad King, upon seeing the female corpse, couldn’t help but pale and finally sighed, ”So that’s how it is, no wonder you could slay a Chaos Chosen.... If it’s her, indeed, it’s not unexpected.”

On their own, the Corpse Puppets like ’Floating’ could hardly kill a Blood God Chosen One.

Indeed, they were powerful in life, Elite Night Patrol of the Sixth Sense, commanding respect from any Divine Chosen.

But as Corpse Puppets, their combat strength greatly reduced.

Even if defeated, Xue Yin could have managed to escape, rather than being cut down.

Now, the truth emerged... Black Umbrella possessed the corpse of that entity, so killing a Sixth Sense Chosen One was justifiable.

”Is this... an Overlord Level spiritual energy fluctuation?” someone from the Molten Lava Giant City’s Night Patrol spoke in fear, thinking of a terrifying possibility, but he was reluctant to believe in such a despair-like possibility.

”White Han Sword... this is, from the Spiritual Ability Master of No.1 Border City, Master Mo Hai, the A-Class Spiritual Ability Equipment, Spring Snow!”

”How could it be...” the faces of the Night Patrol from the various Giant Cities turned pale.

They knew the reputation of that Spiritual Ability Equipment.

Compared to the Forbidden Zone, A-Class Spiritual Ability Equipment isn’t particularly abundant on the human Giant City’s side, but collectively the four cities possessed a considerable amount.

However, the treasure sword Spring Snow was extremely renowned.

It was a gift from the Mo Family, a Spiritual Ability Family, to that supreme being.

Thus, it was named.

For, the recipient was once the protagonist of an era.

The undefeated champion among humanity’s foes across all regions.

A supremely strong existence that no Supreme dared to underestimate.

The glory of Champion Team One, the seventh-generation Champion!

”Damn it, I’m definitely going to kill you!” Ming Lang roared, his eyes crimson.

Black Umbrella not only desecrated the bodies of Champion Members but even the Champion itself!

Terrifying murderous intent roared, but Black Umbrella remained indifferent, his mutilated body overlooking the people below.

”In the end, you’ve forced out my strongest trump card; you can take pride in that,” said Black Umbrella in a chilling voice, echoing across the battlefield.

This was his strongest trump card and his greatest stroke of luck!

Black Umbrella was originally human, once a Scavenger.

But decades ago, his scavenger team accidentally encountered a roaming Disaster Fog No.19 in the wilderness, and the entire team was devoured.

He couldn’t resist and was killed by the monsters in the fog.

His and many other human Spiritual Bodies were consumed into Black Umbrella, or rather the soul banner.

Becoming souls bound within a Taboo Item, he lost everything at that time—flesh, identity, and normal human emotions.

He could only struggle and devour others within the soul banner until he grew to meet the expectations of the soul banner’s owner.

Due to his Spiritual Talent, he benefited from misfortune, highly compatible with the soul banner, and amid endless chaos and slaughter, he gradually devoured other spiritual bodies. Thus, he gained complete control of the soul banner, becoming its true master.

When humans breached Disaster Fog No.19, he killed the holder, somewhat assisting humans in conquering Disaster Fog No.19, thereby escaping the fog and becoming a monster wandering the wilderness.

However, because of his unique life structure, he was extremely weak at that time.

Though the body of the soul banner was hard to destroy, he indeed couldn’t unleash much combat power.

He needed to rely on a physical body to control Corpse Puppets and unleash their combat power.

During that period, he was more like a Taboo Item without self-awareness.

Thus, he was obtained and contested over by several Spiritual Ability Users, circulating among major powers.

He silently hid his existence, preparing to seize a suitable physical body.

But in the wilderness, choosing a body with Spiritual Talent was exceedingly difficult.

Years of deceit and scheming only allowed him to obtain a body with at most a Third Awakening capacity. His possessed Corpse Puppets also only had First and Second Awakening strengths.

Struggling to survive in the wilderness, any power that discovered him would have completely obliterated him.

However, fortune eventually favored him.

Six years ago, he found the bodies of Champion Team One.

It was truly divine providence! A gift from the gods!

As weak as he was, he unexpectedly encountered the strongest human team of that era!

He leveraged this fortune, and his strength rapidly soared.

He refined the Champion Members into Corpse Puppets, seizing more suitable living bodies for himself.

And through the memories of the Corpse Puppets, he discovered the secrets of the Disaster Fog, successfully locating the remains of the seventh-generation Champion and several elite corpses at the location where the Disaster Fog had vanished!

At that time, he became powerful beyond measure. He had nearly inherited the legacy of Champion Team One.
