Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 982: Chapter 469: Reversal!_2

In reality, Li Yelai had genuinely considered it.

Of course, he wasn’t thinking about physically getting a free ride from Jile Divine Chosen.

What he wanted was power; no matter how beautiful the enemy, he had no interest.

Rather than seeing Duoluo pose seductively, he’d prefer to see Duoluo chopped into minced meat.

His plan was to find an opportunity while bathing together to remove the Chaos Holy Artifact from Duoluo’s finger and then stab her to death!

But doing so might prevent the ritual from proceeding as planned afterward.

Seeing Li Yelai refuse, Duoluo wasn’t surprised. She chuckled lightly and said, “Well then, after all… we have a long time to explore its wonders.”

A few hours later, Li Yelai arrived at the palace of the Jile Subsidiary with Duoluo.

Outside the palace, three powerful Extraordinary Creatures appeared.

A Sixth Sense Earth Dragon, a Sixth Sense Dragon Blood Giant Wolf, and an Overlord Level Abyss Dragon.

On their beast faces, Li Yelai actually saw sycophancy.

These Extraordinary Creatures were originally Guardian Gods from three city-states, powerful forces worshipped by the city-states.

Now, more than half of the city-states have submitted to the Church, and they also serve as the Church’s security. If their intelligence were higher, they might even be Believers of the Church.

Yes, the corruption of the Chaos Faction affects more than just Humans.

All intelligent species can be corrupted by the Chaos faith, and some Forbidden Zone Creatures also harbor the Chaos faith.

In the Blood God and Eternal Life Faction, there are many Forbidden Zone Creatures.

A commander from the Forbidden Zone Black Origin City is a Demon General of the Blood God.

A six-winged angel from the Heavenly Kingdom once conveyed intelligence to the Eternal Life Faction.

Thus, Chaos is the enemy of all beings.

However, the exception lies with the Master of Green Flames, whose Believers are all Humans; Forbidden Zone Creatures, even if they crave His power, are ignored by Him—an extremely severe racial prejudice!

Li Yelai’s gaze swept over the three Extraordinary Creatures.

The three Extraordinary Creatures immediately lowered their heads in submission.

For some unknown reason, these three Extraordinary Creatures felt a sense of Fear emanating from Li Yelai, different from the majesty of the Divine Chosen, but a kind of Fear akin to that of a natural enemy.

This made them increasingly uneasy, with their heads bowed very low, entirely lacking the aura of a ‘Guardian God’.

Subsequently, Li Yelai and Duoluo, along with their group, entered the palace.

A crowd of Believers had already gathered here.

Among them, there were some high-ranking members of the city-states; Li Yelai even spotted an elderly Overlord.

As an Overlord, upon seeing Duoluo, he humbly stepped forward, knelt on both knees, and then held up Duoluo’s extended foot, kissing the back of it.

To see a dignified Overlord showing such humility?

Li Yelai frowned involuntarily, while Duoluo smiled and said, “Speaking of which, he does have some connection to you.”

“Fearful of Champion Yang Chen’s ferocity, he never took action against the official of the Giant City, nor was he ever parasitized by the Heartless Fruit. He maintained neutrality all along,” Duoluo chuckled lightly, “a so-called fence-sitter.”

“Back then, after Moon Shadow attacked the city-state, he finally made his decision to join us, using Moon Shadow as his pledge. But halfway through, he sensed your arrival, Champion, and in a panic, acted against me. However, in the end, he still failed to kill me…”

Duoluo patted the old man’s head: “Truly unfortunate…”

The old man trembled slightly, speaking in a low voice: “Thank you, great one… for sparing my life… I will be your most loyal servant…”

Duoluo didn’t continue to address the old man but proceeded with Li Yelai.

They arrived at a large platform, and outside the platform, there was a group of fanatic Believers.

They regarded faith as everything and looked at the Divine Chosen with zeal and awe.

Li Yelai had seen such gazes in Bai Ya’s eyes before; another group brainwashed by the Church since childhood…

They would assist Li Yelai in becoming the Divine Chosen; to them, this was the highest honor!

As night fell, the ritual commenced at that moment.

Under the witness of the Fallen Wish Chosen One, the fanatic Believers began to pray.

Countless hateful words were spoken, and an indescribable power descended from the Void Realm.

Outside the palace, the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, allowing only sparse starlight to barely penetrate.

A hazy and eerie silver veil was draped over the palace.

In the mountain forest, withered branches swayed, as if countless invisible hands were gently stroking the air, creating a rustling sound, interwoven with distant murmurs into an ominous symphony.

In the air, a strange fragrance began to permeate, both sweet and carrying a hint of barely perceptible bitterness; it was the scent of temptation and despair intertwined.

The surrounding scenery started to distort, reality and illusion interweaving, as if the entire space had been pulled into the domain of Jile.

In this illusion woven by desire, every breath Li Ye takes is accompanied by a yearning for power, beauty, eternal youth, with each heartbeat challenging and transcending the boundaries of self.

It was at this moment that those fanatic believers initiated their sacrifice.

Wild desires unleashed!

At this instant, all desires were released without reservation.

The fanatic believers engaged in bloody and terrifying massacres and self-mutilation, but even as their skin was torn off and painful wails filled their throats, their faces wore expressions of joyous satisfaction.

They indulged with delight, howling and screaming, their forms disintegrating at this moment.

The bodies of several intertwined people shattered into monstrous beings.

The believers who devoured each other eventually consumed their own hearts.

The believer who relished in screams let out the sound that pleased him the most.

Their wails and screams echoed and transmitted within the Void Realm.

Ultimately, they merged into a singular voice.

“You are the master of desire, the embodiment of beauty, the temptation of corruption. I am willing to offer my soul, solely to pursue that supreme pleasure and satisfaction. To become the most devout believer, unbound by morality or shackled by reason.”

“Relish in the endless delight and abandon. Let my desires spread like wildfire, burning away all obstacles in my path. Let my corruption become the emblem of my glory, making the world fear my power, yet unable to resist my allure.”

“I will be your most loyal servant until the end of time!”

At the moment the final prayer descended, within the Void Realm, a powerful force was drawn forth.

Deep within Li Ye’s consciousness, the Heartless Fruit had been entangled for so very long.

As a creation of the Divine, it was meant to corrupt this human, transforming them into Jile’s Divine Chosen.

But it chose the wrong target; the human it intended to corrupt was the Chosen of the Double Gods!

Two forces, both from the Chaos Gods, were countering its erosion.

Moreover, deeper within, there seemed to be another unknown terrifying power.

This left the Heartless Fruit unable to advance, even seemingly on the verge of being suppressed, with this corruption looking as though it might fail.

This made the Heartless Fruit extremely vexed, cursing Duoluo and the others vehemently. What kind of person was chosen?

This attempted corruption not only offended two Evil Gods but also was about to end in failure.

It was at this moment that a tremendous force poured into the Heartless Fruit’s consciousness.

This invigorated its spirit. This mighty power actually temporarily suppressed the two forces of chaos.

The Heartless Fruit disregarded everything else, bundling all its power, rushing into Li Ye’s consciousness!

Now, saying anything wouldn’t help, so… for my master, I shall corrupt a powerful Divine Chosen!

“Come here, you!” The Heartless Fruit roared, breaking through the two chaotic forces, charging into the deepest part of Li Ye’s consciousness.

Then, it heard a calm voice.

“Here, it’s full.”

At that moment, on Li Ye’s blank mask, the purple-pink face and patterns completed instantly.

At that moment, the dense chaotic aura filled Li Ye’s Soul Well.

At that moment, Li Ye let out a breath of turbid air.

Activate the mask, Jile Divine Chosen Face!

Then…

Reverse Demon Tablet!

…

Outside the altar, Duoluo watched Li Ye on the altar, anticipating the impending bestowment.

The next second, they heard the pained cries of countless creatures.

All beings parasitized by the Heartless Fruit felt the shadow enveloping their hearts being forcibly stripped away.

In different regions and corners, the branches of Heartless Fruit in its tree-like state instantly decayed.

Meanwhile, the Heartless Fruit itself withered and rotted instantly.

Simultaneously, an enraged howl echoed throughout the Supreme Heaven!
