Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 871: Chapter 407: Heaven and Earth Cage!

“Jiuli Demon Body?” Li Ye was shocked. The records of the government and the Church never mentioned the ability of the Old Mad King. Or rather, he had not yet come into contact with such information.

Jiuli Demon Body… does it come from the mythology of Jiuli? The same Jiuli from Xuanyuan War General?

“Just as you think, it is the Jiuli of Chi You… that is the Seventh Awakening Ability of the Old Mad King, and this Jiang lineage, is not simple at all,” the Book Holder said with a smile, his voice filled with the vicissitudes of life: “In those years, he strode over mountains and rivers, resisted the stars, as if he truly wanted to sweep through the Forbidden Zone. It was truly exhilarating… in those days, the Witness and I…”

The Book Holder paused: “I have said before, there are too many geniuses in the world… but those who make it to the end are few and far between.”

Li Ye suppressed the shock in his heart: “You know how powerful he is, without the Great Demon and the Prince, who would dare to be presumptuous in the Giant City?”

“Don’t rush.” The Book Holder chuckled: “Since I have given you the commission, I will naturally provide assistance. I won’t let allies suffer, and you will have a more wonderful future. I look forward to seeing you climb to the peak.”

Immediately, a golden ripple of spatial waves flashed in his hand, and a red thorn entwined into a circle emerged.

In the next second, the thorn appeared before Li Ye.

Li Ye reached out to catch it, but felt a sharp pain.

One must know that Li Ye’s physical strength is extremely high, among the True Martial of the Sixth Sense, his body strength is top-level.

And now, did this thorn actually pierce and cause him pain?

The Spiritual Barrier was silently penetrated, and his flesh was pricked? If used to strangle someone, it’s guaranteed to work.

Li Ye was a bit surprised: “Is this a Secret Treasure?”

“Indeed, it’s a very rare Secret Treasure. It is a relic of a powerful civilization, named the Heaven and Earth Cage. Its principle is similar to the Universe in the Sleeve,” the Book Holder smiled: “Containing the universe within, it can trap the user and a single target within the cage. Thus isolating external interference.”

“Even the Supreme finds it difficult to break open this cage and intervene in the battle inside.”

“And until one inside the cage dies, the cage cannot be opened.”

“Consider this a deposit. Once you succeed, I will pay you a satisfactory balance.”

“To have such wonderful use?” Li Ye looked at the thorn in his hand: “So it’s a forced duel? Quite to our taste… the victor wins, the defeated dies. A good thing indeed!”

For both Li Ye and from the Chaos Chosen identity perspective, this is a good thing.

With this, even amidst a chaotic battlefield, a forced duel can occur. It’s a decapitation tool!

Later, on the battlefield, directly trap the enemy leader, they can’t escape, only to fight back with oneself.

If such a weapon existed during the assassination of Mei Wu, it wouldn’t have been so troublesome for Li Ye and Little Mad King.

Moreover, it has many wonderful uses.

For instance, trapping a weak enemy and crippling them. Then one can safely rest inside the cage.

As long as there are no Supremes and Kings outside, one can rest until fully rejuvenated.

In desperate situations, it can also be useful.

Of course, using this Heaven and Earth Cage requires strong personal strength.

Otherwise, it’s courting death. If trapped inside and unable to defeat the opponent, it’s really over.

“The deposit is so precious, it seems you really want him dead.” Li Ye said.

“It is indeed very rare and precious, but it is not the top-level cage.”

The Book Holder, seeing Li Ye satisfied, explained: “There is another kind of cage called the Heavenly Usurping Cage.”

“It can also lock space, and only after one party inside dies, can it be unlocked. But the victor can seize the ability of the Defeated. Although it can only be used once, it will be destroyed afterward.”

Kill someone and seize their ability?

Li Ye’s heart tightened, isn’t it just targeting geniuses with special abilities, trapping them and acquiring their abilities?

Even if it can only be used once, if possessing multiple Heavenly Usurping Cages, wouldn’t multiple abilities be acquired?

Li Ye is so strong because the Face granted him multiple abilities, allowing for numerous ability combinations.

“There is such a Secret Treasure?” Li Ye asked the Book Holder: “If I want to trade for such a Secret Treasure, what do I need to pay? Since you know my identity, you should understand… I can offer sufficient compensation!”

“Unfortunately, that is something of legend.” The Book Holder chuckled and shook his head: “And I do not have such an item.”

This wasn’t a lie, for currently, the Book Holder indeed does not possess it.

Because, that belongs to another strong person’s Opportunity.

“With the Heaven and Earth Cage, you can now find the opportunity to behead the Night General,” the Book Holder said: “No matter how fierce your battle inside the cage is, the outside world will hardly notice, and even if they do, without a King, there won’t be intervention.”

“So, you must seize the opportunity to kill the Night General in secrecy.”

“But be cautious, the Night General’s ability is too unique, I suspect their origins are astonishing. Also, if you fall into a disadvantage, there’s no retreat, so act only when certain of victory. Once you act, there’s no turning back.”

“And after you kill the Night General, you will receive a mysterious treasure. That treasure will remain in your Soul Well… when you return to the ark, I will find a way to help you retrieve it and provide you with the balance.”

Indeed, one of the targets is the Divine Demon Stele.

The Book Holder has a method to extract the Divine Demon Stele?

“A treasure… the Night General’s treasure… the Night General killed Ye Han, and now you want me to kill the Night General…” Li Ye laughed: “I see, this is your goal. Is this the reason Ye Han could suppress and enhance curses?”

“Yes.”

“You respond so readily, aren’t you afraid I will take the treasure and not hand it over? Such an ability treasure, it’s best in one’s own hands.”

The Book Holder, having anticipated this, responded: “Sir, without the Spirit Extinguisher bloodline, you cannot exert its full power. Furthermore, it bears terrible karma. It will bring you many troubles and dangers. At the same time, it will greatly impact your future ascension to Supreme. I believe you can weigh the pros and cons. The balance is no less than the Heaven and Earth Cage.”

“I will make my judgment after killing the Night General.” Li Ye replied.

“That’s fine. Do consider it carefully, I await your good news.”

The Book Holder didn’t mind, it’s normal to be envious of the Divine Demon Stele.

But without the correct bloodline and physique, the Divine Demon Stele is useless.

Though it can suppress curses… that’s all it can do. The real strength of the Divine Demon Stele is reinforcing curses!

Use it as an outsider, only to strengthen your curse. What’s the benefit? Want a faster death?

Plus, the karma on it…

Copper Face will come to a clear decision, a cumbersome treasure that brings endless trouble. Better to come back for the balance.

At that time, the variable will be gone, the Divine Demon Stele back, and Copper Face stronger.

It’s a three-birds-one-stone scenario.

Afterward, Li Ye and the Book Holder each left the ark.

…

In some corner of the world, the Book Holder opened his eyes.

“Copper Face’s fate has changed, months earlier than calculated!” a companion spoke.

The Book Holder looked at a pyramid-like list, the names or code names representing each genius were rising and falling.

Among them, Copper Face, at the pinnacle of the third echelon, was rapidly ascending into the second echelon.

This signifies he acquired a great Opportunity.

“No matter, he benefits from the variable, unexpectedly obtaining the Heavenly Soldier Furnace. Plus, I gave him the Heaven and Earth Cage,” the Book Holder chuckled.

“Why…” a companion’s expression changed.

“Let him kill the variable, restoring order. The resulting changes are minimal. Even if some changes occur, they can be rectified.”

“All we need to do is wait for his good news.”

…

At the same time, elsewhere, in the safe house in No.3 Border City, Li Ye opened his eyes.

“Great, got a Secret Treasure for free!”
