Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 581: Chapter 272: For Emperor’s Fall

Even the newly emerged Great Demon Projection, which was capable of seriously injuring an Overlord, possessed impressive combat power.

Though it wasn’t at the Supreme Level, it was undoubtedly a peak Overlord.

And it would grow even stronger with mass slaughter and more Blood Sacrifices, until its true body arrived.

But as powerful as the Great Demon Projection was, it still couldn’t withstand the horrific Catastrophe.

It struggled against the mountains, dragging the Treasure Vault, furiously resisting the Abyss fissure with both hands. It wanted to save the Treasure Vault for the Headquarters, as well as its own head left in the Physical World.

This was one of its means of returning to the Physical World and also one of the Church’s trump cards.

But under that terrible Catastrophe’s might, even the Great Demon Projection struggled to maintain its form.

The Projection’s arms broke, and amid its roars, the closing Abyss swallowed up the mountains and the Treasure Vault completely.

The split earth abruptly closed at that moment as if driven by some mysterious force, hitting each other with a deafening boom.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the bottomless rift had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a towering mountain.

From deep within this newly formed mountain, a stream of green lava with a terrifying temperature burst forth.

The lava exhibited a strange and enchanting green hue as if it held some mysterious power.

The sound of the lava erupting was deafening, accompanied by rolling heatwaves and a strong sulfur smell, instilling an ineffable shock and awe.

Everything around seemed insignificant under the impact of this force, leaving only the newborn Giant Mountain and the gushing green lava as the most dazzling presences between heaven and earth.

The Catastrophe that Li Yelai had summoned was not an earthquake but a volcanic eruption!

What? There are no volcanoes in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Qinling? Then let’s create one!

Thus, the Headquarters of the Blood God Sect acquired a bizarre volcano within, seemingly containing some Extraordinary Mineral—that’s a profit!

Of course… The Blood God Faction probably wasn’t too happy…

In that instant, the battling Spiritual Ability Users from both sides quickly fled.

The force of the volcanic eruption sent many Sixth-sense Experts flying; at least they didn’t yet have the ability to resist the mighty power of the Catastrophe.

Vast amounts of volcanic ash surged out, obscuring the entire sky. Many surviving soldiers were buried and scalded by the ash, and even Low-level Spiritual Ability Users had their Spiritual Barriers instantly depleted, dying a scalding death.

Even thousands of kilometers away, the Forbidden Zone and the Giant City noticed this startling change.

And Li Yelai, too, felt the intense shock from behind. After fleeing the Treasure Vault, he moved at full speed. Once out of the Battlefield, he deactivated his Face.

He dared not keep the Face activated any longer, for if another enemy or some accident occurred under these circumstances, Mr. Shadow would probably die of laughter.

The Little Mad King, lurking in the shadows, then stretched out her arm to grab his shoulder, transforming into an even faster black smoke that shot upwards.

She demonstrated the formidable mobility of the Netherworld Path, quickly covering over a dozen kilometers with Li Yelai.

But even after running so far, they were still not safe. During the volcanic eruption, lava and rocks burst forth, and collapsed mountains fell.

Even after closing the Face, Li Yelai’s misfortune would persist for a while.

Thus, in such an environment, Li Yelai felt the world’s intense malice.

On the run, he was struck repeatedly by lava and boulders.

Li Yelai was dragged by the right hand by the Little Mad King; with his left, he activated Mimicry·Red Thunder Dragon Claw.

He repeatedly used Thunder Spear and Thunder Blade to shatter boulders.

Or he used the Blood God Seven-layered Shield to protect them both from the lava.

“Your curse is just too powerful!” exclaimed the Little Mad King, slicing a boulder in half with her sword.

“It’s not my curse that’s too strong, but the Lucky Wheel that’s too strong!” Li Yelai gritted his teeth, activating the Blood God Seven-layered Shield again to block a swath of green lava: “The Lucky Wheel should be ranked as a Class A Forbidden Item! Being Class B really underestimates its power! It can even create a volcano, yet it’s still Class B?”

“Perhaps it’s because it spun Catastrophe back-to-back. After all, besides you, no one can spin out two Catastrophes!” The Little Mad King looked at the faraway scene and replied, “If possible, I really wish this volcano would erupt more violently and utterly destroy the Headquarters, but it seems this is it…”

The volcano was still erupting, but under the Oracle Palace in the core area of the Headquarters, hundreds of believers were praying as they sacrificed themselves. They drew their swords and beheaded themselves; the severed heads, after hitting the ground, continued to utter inscrutable prayers.

And the headless bodies held their heads high, kneeling towards the Oracle Palace. Bizarre and bloody…

Then, their entire bodies burst into scarlet Flames.

In the next second, a towering wave of red aura cut across the world.

Upon the sacrifices of the Blood God Sect, a Divine being responded to them.

Within the Void Realm, a giant, blood-colored Throne appeared, and the four-armed giant reigned over the Void Realm.

It was the God of Battle of the Blood God!

Two arms reached out from the flames, crossing tens of kilometers, pressing against the erupting volcano, and astonishingly extinguished it by force! It even casually suppressed all the volcanic ash!

The God of Battle suppressed the Catastrophe!

This was one of the defensive measures of the Headquarters, allowing a Divine being to help once!

“Was that… the God of Battle? Do you think He is a King Level expert?” Li Yelai asked.

“I don’t know; I’ve never seen the old man make a move… The Church’s foundation is still strong,” the Little Mad King sighed softly.

Seeing that she was wounded, Li Yelai took out healing potions from the Jing Family from the ark and passed one to her, responding, “But this time, they’ve also been dealt a severe blow.”
