Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 964: Chapter 459:

After Lord Fallen Wish left the staircase, the black stone gate closed once more, forming a complete stone wall.

“Finally sent it in.” Lord Fallen Wish glanced back at the stone wall, a smile appearing on her face.

This aligned with her plan to allow the legacy of the Ming Xia civilization to hold Li Ye for enough time while they prepare their offerings and ritual.

Although, nominally, Li Ye had already been chosen by the gods, he ultimately had not yet received his bestowed name, keeping him here could avoid other variables.

“Lord Fallen Wish, how many do you think he will reach?” asked the demon general waiting there.

What he meant by “how many” naturally referred to the number of residual sound avatars challenged.

The more there are, the greater the feedback obtained.

“At least eight… might even reach Jinhuan Supreme’s record from back then.” Lord Fallen Wish replied.

“You think so highly of him as well? Jinhuan Supreme’s combat strength was extremely terrifying.”

“Hmm, I know. But even without using the divine favor, he managed to kill a master like He Lan. His combat strength is too terrifying, and when around him, seeing his Champion Cloak, I always feel like I could be killed at any moment.”

“After all, he is a Champion, wearing that Champion Cloak, he can completely be considered the Ninth Generation Champion.”

“I wonder how long it will take him to complete the challenges?”

Several demon generals discussed among themselves.

And Lord Fallen Wish just smiled and said, “No matter how long, once he emerges, our rituals will be almost ready. Even the strongest Champion will become our Divine Chosen!”

“I am more eager for him to gain powerful blessings or protections, or other strong legacies.”

….

On the other side, when only Li Ye was left in this space.

On the Black Stele, mystical patterns flickered. The surrounding landscape transformed into a mountain forest.

At the same time, a shadow quickly took form.

It was clad in dark gray plate armor, with a deep red hood, wielding a blade shield.

Judging by its spiritual energy strength, it was also a Sixth Sense expert.

But it was neither in line with the Church nor the official style.

“A strongman of the Ming Xia civilization? Is this the first challenge target?” Li Ye thought as he lifted the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd.

Almost in the moment the residual sound projection appeared, Li Ye launched his attack.

His Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd thrust straight, golden dragon shadows emerged.

Single-handed Eighteen Pokes·Rhino Attack!

After advancing to Sixth Sense, Li Ye’s already powerful physique had reached its peak.

At this moment, with the full outbreak of physical power, he turned into a cold beam impossible for the naked eye to capture.

With the swiftest offensive, he directly attacked the residual sound avatar.

The residual sound avatar decisively raised its shield to retreat.

At the same time, its shield slanted, and the long spear scratched out sparks against the angled shield,

Its left-hand blade gleamed, quickly twisting, spinning out elegant sword flowers, creating sharp wind blades.

Its combat experience was evidently rich, intending to use the shield to block the thrust, attempting to perform a defensive counterattack.

However, before it could take the next step, it felt a whirlwind, a great force attacked from the shield, hoisting it up directly, and slammed it down midair.

Its shield did not deflect Li Ye’s long spear, but instead, got caught by the spear ear of the long spear.

And Li Ye, relying on his own crushing physical strength, directly hoisted it up, Single-handed Eighteen Strokes·Dragon Raising Head!

Smashed it fiercely to the ground.

Yet at the moment of landing, a strong air current suddenly appeared beneath the residual sound avatar, reducing its falling speed.

Simultaneously, it released its shield, and with a quick deflect to the ground by its right hand, its form retreated violently, instantly pulling back dozens of meters.

However, as it prepared to rise and counterattack, it felt its vision spin,

Immediately, it saw its own headless corpse….

Li Ye, after achieving Sixth Sense, gained the blessing of Kunpeng’s Wings, increasing his speed by 30%, coupled with his own physical strength, making his movement speed extremely fast.

The residual sound avatar’s smooth combo actually did not manage to create distance from Li Ye.

Though its swordsmanship was unrivaled, or it may have had some powerful output ability, it never managed to display it before Li Ye beheaded it.

This was an utter override of physical strength and speed.

In some ways, this amounted to a first strike kill.

This residual sound avatar probably didn’t anticipate that Li Ye’s physical strength would be this daunting.

Li Ye certainly wouldn’t be silly enough to let the opponent set up its stance to confront him with its strongest side.

Using his own advantages to fiercely attack the opponent, preventing the opponent from going all out, is the optimal solution.

However, just as Li Ye retracted his long spear, when the residual sound avatar gradually dissipated.

Li Ye suddenly heard a voice, the severed head produced sound.

“That was too fast…”

Li Ye couldn’t understand its language, yet he could comprehend its implied meaning.

This indicated the opponent possessed divinity!

But according to the intelligence from the Jile Sect, residual sound avatars do not have cognitive abilities.

It’s impossible for there to be communication, and how could there be divinity?

This residual sound avatar was just Sixth Sense… With divinity, Li Ye would have to use Face Reversal Divine Demon Stele to respond.

Li Ye looked in shock at the dissipating head, yet he heard once more: “We can only communicate here, don’t…”

As the head fully dissipated, the voice did not arise again.

This brought a brainstorming session for Li Ye.

From whom did this voice originate?

‘Could it be that nameless King?’

Can only communicate here… and here, is the legacy left by the Ming Xia civilization to future generations.

Because no external forces can intervene, not even the Church can meddle in it, nor can it understand the situation within.
