Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 770: Chapter 361 Green Flame Chosen One

Ye Han’s head fell, bouncing off the ground, and before it rolled far, Li Yelai grabbed it swiftly.

This person, suspected to be the “Heavenly Pride” on the Book Holder’s list, carried a tremendous destiny. He might even resurrect from death.

Just moments ago, his body was reduced to half, yet he managed to be Baptized in Fire.

Thus, Li Yelai believed that even decapitation might not kill him.

To be safe, Li Yelai seized Ye Han’s head and instantly sacrificed it, no, instantly offered it as a sacrifice.

“Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God, skull offered to the throne!”

A prayer from the Chaos Chosen softly echoed, and the head in his hand ignited instantly; a blood-red fire blazed, transforming into a scarlet aura that surged into Li Yelai’s body through his arm.

The reward from the Blood God arrived, a powerful force permeated into Li Yelai’s soul well, allowing his Spiritual Ability Projection to advance once more on the staircase.

After the tempering from ascending the Immortal Long Stairs and the blessing obtained from this sacrifice.

Li Yelai’s Spiritual Ability Projection successfully crossed the Fifth Tier, reaching the Sixth Tier. There were still seven tiers to the Sixth Sense!

Less than three months had passed, and he had ascended to the Fifth Sense, walking nearly half the distance in the staircase, an astonishing pace indeed.

But this was not the end; after sacrificing the head to the Blood God, Ye Han’s mangled body began to decay rapidly, his flesh emitting a foul stench in an instant, becoming a source of disease.

This was the ability of the Eternal Chosen One, the Plague Blade! Any wound it caused would inevitably be infected, even spawning various dreadful viruses!

At this moment, Ye Han’s body was affected by this force, incubating terrible viruses.

This was the greatest danger of the Eternal Life Sect, creating plagues!

If its believers created a terrible plague that endangered countless lives, the Father of Plague would happily grant his blessing.

But now, the Immortal Palace was filled with humans, and Li Yelai could not allow the plague to spread.

Suddenly, spatial fluctuations flickered around him, and a golden furnace over three meters tall appeared, with purple flames roaring within.

Li Yelai picked up Ye Han’s headless body and threw it into the furnace.

His flesh was devoured by the flames, completely turned to ash, while his bones were refined by the Melting Furnace into some liquid spheres, floating within the purple flames of the furnace.

Could this possibly be some kind of material for crafting an Imitative Heavenly Soldier?

“This way, you fucking can’t play dead anymore, can you?” Li Yelai sneered coldly, then walked towards the Divine Demon Stele.

Finally, having killed Ye Han, Li Yelai’s thoughts were clear.

Although, it had cost him quite a bit…

Four leaves of the Blood God Seven-layered Shield were knocked off, and it was uncertain whether they could self-repair.

Parts of the Ming Guang Armor were destroyed, the rest tattered and hanging off Li Yelai.

As for mounts, Old Horse Number Five was still alive… still rideable, but crippled. The Mountain Lord Avatar had also been used to block attacks.

It was sheer bad luck that, when the palace fell, Li Yelai defended with all his might. The Blood God Seven-layered Shield, Immovable as a Mountain, both were brought out.

But amidst the chaos, the spreading Blood Flame from a defensive weak spot lunged at Li Yelai.

Had he not used the Mountain Lord Avatar to block, Li Yelai feared he would’ve been turned to a sieve.

Still, even so, he was pierced by a long spear through the Mountain Lord, stabbing into Li Yelai’s abdomen, igniting his internal organs.

This was Li Yelai’s most severe injury, his organs all cooked. Had it not been for the blessing of the Eternal Chosen One, Li Yelai feared Ye Han might have taken his place.

Actually, Li Yelai didn’t need to worry so much.

The moment he decapitated Ye Han, Ye Han’s consciousness had already reached the Mist Space.

Ye Han’s consciousness carried befuddlement and resentment, bewildered that he, with such great destiny, lost to a mere Fifth Sense. He had once faced enemies two major tiers above him, always unscathed. Even in danger, there would be others to assist him. Yet now, a Fifth Sense had bested him?

Resentful that he still had many trump cards left unplayed! Kirin Boots, Wind Summoning Feather Fan, Black Ink Armor, and many more trump cards never shown, just to be beheaded like this? This made him extremely reluctant. If it weren’t because the Baptized in Fire forcibly drew out all his Spiritual Energy, he could have fought on!

However, he might have forgotten that if not for the protection of Baptized in Fire, he would’ve already died. What talk then of other trump cards?

Quickly, all of Ye Han’s resentment and anger transformed into ultimate fear.

Because, before him in the mist, a pitch-black tentacle stretched forth.

Ye Han screamed in horror, struggling to escape, yet still got entangled by the tentacle, pulled into the mist.

Ye Han howled in pain, still hoping his strong luck could save him.

“Familiar scent, another chess piece?” a being inside the mist said indifferently.

Soon, the sound of breaking bones came from the mist, and Mr. Shadow was still open to all comers.

Unfortunately, Ye Han, just being a Sixth Sense, could not trigger a new blank mask.

…

Meanwhile, the Book Holder returned from the ark to the physical world, quickly arriving in front of the Book of Destiny.

A giant page turned in front of him, and on one of its pages, Ye Han’s name gradually faded, his actions altering the destinies of a group of strong individuals.

Some strong individuals’ fate of death appeared or disappeared, while some’s opportunities vanished or emerged…

“How could this be… he had the Divine Demon Stele, a nemesis to most Spiritual Ability Users, and his destiny was immensely strong, danger hardly befell him, how could he die inside the Immortal Palace?” the guardian there disbelievingly said.
