Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 841: Chapter 393: Divine Calamity

The Eternal Life Faction prepared twenty Jiarong Flowers and twenty Jibai, along with one Vajra Huai Wood, for Li Ye.

The Blood God Faction prepared Holy Wood Mandala and some extraordinary minerals for Li Ye.

It didn’t seem like much, but it was actually a significant investment.

Jiarong is a red spirit plant with a rather beautiful appearance, said to be over three meters long and only grows on cliff sides under special conditions, with a very long growth cycle.

However, once mature, it instantly blooms.

By consuming those flowers, one can gain thunder resistance. Similar to Shatang and Dan Mu, the first flower has the best effect, the second is next, and subsequent increases are minimal.

This was indeed a great help to Li Ye, as he truly needed thunder resistance.

His trump card, Annihilation Thunder, relies on Mimicry·Red Thunder Dragon Claw to capture thunder for an attack.

When using this move, although most of the thunder is absorbed by the Dragon Claw, Li Ye himself would still be attacked by a small portion of the thunder.

Previously in the Immortal Palace, when making a big move, even Li Ye’s hair stood on end, and his body was covered in cuts and bruises. He often had to rely on the Eternal Chosen Face to heal his body.

Now, with the Jiarong Flower, Li Ye no longer had to worry too much about being struck by thunder.

Li Ye recalled its consumption method: roll up the red Jiarong Flower, and soon the rolled-up flower gradually lightens, the petals turning semi-transparent, with red juice accumulating at the base.

Li Ye drank it in one gulp; it tasted bitter, but had a slightly sweet aftertaste.

After drinking the juice of two flowers, Li Ye picked up two Jibai fruits.

Jibai is also a rare spirit plant that grants cold resistance when consumed.

Even though Li Ye gained some cold resistance from Shatang Fruit, more resistance is always beneficial.

In the future, when facing enemies with cold attributes, his advantage will only increase.

As for the remaining Jiarong and Jibai, Li Ye planned to save them for his friends.

Subsequently, he didn’t rush to use the Holy Wood Mandala and Vajra Huai Wood but drove towards Hong’s Mansion.

These items are very precious and must be used cautiously.

Especially the Holy Wood Mandala.

This spirit fruit, which directly affects spiritual energy, is overly rare, and any Spiritual Ability User under the King can enhance their promotion success rate.

Using it to repair Li Ye’s soul well would be somewhat wasteful.

After all, the soul well is still being repaired by the feather left behind by that sword-wielding woman, and he may not necessarily need this.

Rather than using it himself, Li Ye hoped that the Giant City could produce another Supreme.

Like Captain Yang Chen… champions throughout history were invincible at the same level!

However, champions found it difficult to ascend to Supreme. It seemed some mysterious causation prevented champions from ascending.

Now, with the Holy Wood Mandala, Captain Yang Chen might get the chance to ascend to Supreme.

The thought of a Supreme-level champion is intimidating.

Facing an invincible Supreme Champion at the same level, without a King, who would dare step forward?

The Old Mad King is still alive; all major Forbidden Zone Kings probably wouldn’t dare to offend the Mad King to death.

A King with little life left… would be the most feared existence in all major Forbidden Zones.

They don’t want to take risks; they just want to wait for the Old Mad King to die of old age. Of course, they don’t know that the Old Mad King can live for another thirty-plus years.

And once Captain Yang Chen becomes Supreme, all major Forbidden Zones may restrain themselves significantly. By that time, even if Captain Yang Chen goes to their doorstep every day, they’d have to endure it.

An hour later, Li Ye drove to the Hong Family’s complex.

You could see the members of the Hong Family waiting at the entrance from afar.

They dressed in black suits, appearing solemn and formal, as if preparing for a funeral.

Yes, a funeral.

In this expedition to the Immortal Palace, over half of Hong Family’s elite perished, and the rest were severely injured.

Officials of the Giant City, as well as various families, suffered considerable losses in this operation.

Below Heroic Spirit Mountain, ceaseless cries and wails…

“Long time no see, Night General Captain. Thank you for coming,” said the old steward of the Hong Family who came to greet Li Ye.

“Old steward, how are those few injured?” Li Ye asked after getting out of the car.

“Not bad, the injuries are under control, but quite a few won’t be able to return to the front lines in the future.”

Some doctors with high skills in spiritual energy can indeed reconnect severed limbs.

The Epidemic Doctor Captain is a master in this field; even if someone is bisected, she can save them and there’s a high probability of complete recovery.

But not everyone gets this chance, as many peoples’ limbs were completely blasted apart.

Without other opportunities, no matter the talent, they won’t be able to return to the battlefield.

Even with metal prostheses, they can’t exert their original strength. In the future, they might only retreat to the rear.

“Rest assured, the Hong Family will not let them down. They are all heroes. My Hong Family will never let heroes shed blood and tears again; they will be well cared for. We will also actively treat them,” said the old steward.

“I naturally trust the Hong Family’s character,” nodded Li Ye before asking, “Now, where are we planning to conduct the experiment?”

The old steward pointed to the distant peak, “We’ve already prepared everything. The people we invited should have arrived, too.”

Li Ye looked at the distant hill and frowned, “Inside the Giant City? I remember advising you to do it outside the city, didn’t I?”

Li Ye’s calamity is extremely dangerous.

On the battlefield, there was even a bizarre scene where both allies and enemies focused fire on him.
