Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1167: Chapter 575: Hand-to-Hand Combat

With the blessing of Rainbow Through the Sun’s Annihilation Thunder, as it descended.

The Fear Empress hadn’t been hit yet, but the oppressive force of the thunder made her whole body tremble.

Every inch of skin screamed, every nerve warned, this ray of thunder could penetrate her body and tear her mind.

The extreme sense of danger drove her completely mad.

‘Survive!’

‘I can’t die at the hands of this mortal!’

‘Also can’t die under this cursed Rainbow Through the Sun!’

The memories of humiliating scenes and the immediate threat of death made the Fear Empress experience the most primitive fear.

At this moment, her potential exploded once more.

Dark gold substance surged fiercely, like a supernova about to erupt.

It was also at that moment, Annihilation Thunder, bearing a terrifying triple critical hit blessing, crashed down!

It pierced straight through the blood-colored curtain, striking the throne of dark gold substance unfolded by the Fear Empress!

The noble empress was pulled down from her throne by the inferior mortal she scorned!

The violent crimson thunder tore the earth, making the already gigantic chasm expand further.

The collision between thunder and dark gold substance was so intense that the entire battlefield terrain was instantly rewritten.

Faced with Li Ye Lai’s two great killing moves, even the Fear Empress found it difficult to resist.

As the dust and echoes of thunder dispersed, the Sealing Demon Cross and Divine Hidden Weapons had disappeared.

The arrogant and noble empress had vanished without a trace, leaving only remnants of dark gold substance dissipating in the air.

But within the Void Realm, there was still no wave indicating the overlord’s death. This meant that the empress was still alive!

And in a certain crevice of the shattered battlefield.

The cocoon woven by dark gold thorns, like layers of thin silk, slipped away, revealing the faintly visible form within.

The Fear Empress weakly leaned against the damaged cocoon wall, her former dignified battle robe had long become mere tatters. Her fair and delicate skin was covered in scars.

Bright red blood slid down her body’s curves, making her once noble figure appear utterly broken.

She stumbled out of the cocoon, her long hair sticking messily to her sweat-soaked neck.

At the broken right arm, dark gold substance traveled like tendrils, each touch with the scorching scars from the thunder provoking painful gasps from her throat.

“Damn… to be so… disgraceful…”

She struggled to lift her neck, adjusting her breath.

Liquid from the mix of blood and sweat dripped from her chin, leaving a trail on the fair skin of her chest. Her wet hair stuck to her chest, which rose and fell violently, trembling with the faintly visible red.

This was her first time… the first time she tasted defeat!

Unwillingness, anger, fear, all kinds of emotions filled her mind.

If it weren’t for the Primordial’s intervention, she wouldn’t fear the Human Champion!

Damn Primordial, damn Champion!

She worked hard to calm herself, knowing very well that she could not fight anymore.

She was too severely injured, her right arm completely gone. And to survive Annihilation Thunder, she had already expended too much divinity and spiritual energy.

Arrogant as she was, at this moment could only choose to flee disgracefully.

Now she needed the assistance and cover of the horror demons. No longer maintaining the dignity of the Future Emperor.

She knew the horror demon side had a Swallowing Ancient Tree, although its tree sap wasn’t comparable to the Golden Ancient Tree, it could still regenerate her severed limb.

After recovery, she would seek out the Human Champion for a life and death battle!

At that moment, she felt a little dazed and envious.

If she were like the Primordial, able to assist her companions or most loyal subordinates, perhaps she wouldn’t have struggled this hard.

But the thought quickly vanished, clustering for warmth is a symbol of weakness, she should reign supreme!

However, quickly, her face changed dramatically.

Because, just a few meters away.

A spatial rift suddenly appeared, Li Ye Lai wielding a blood red battle spear stepped forward. Like a nightmare descending.

“You can’t escape!” Li Ye Lai activated the Eternal Chosen Face, Xiang Yu’s Face.

Heavy pupil unfolded, spear thrust forward!

‘Damnable You Must Meet Strong Enemies!’

The Fear Empress was shocked and angry, especially in her current exposed state, which made her furious.

Dark gold substance surged, wrapping the body into battle armor, the remaining left hand clenched into a fist, punching out.

The dark gold battle spear axe blade emerged, collectively attacking Li Ye Lai.

At the same time, she shouted in the Void Realm: “Come help me!”

She clearly knew the formidable close-combat strength of Li Ye Lai, in this state, fighting head-on was too risky. Must retreat!

And Li Ye Lai, with heavy pupil activated, advanced closer, dark gold substance indeed had no weakness.

They were essentially a kind of spiritual energy entity. But weapons reforged from them had structural weak points. Added Li Ye Lai now transformed into Divine Calamity, these weak points became lethal!

Hence, the war spear suddenly thrust out, Single-handed Eighteen Strokes·Bee Swarm!

At that moment, it was as if thousands of war spears were thrust out.

Continuous hits bombarded the Fear Empress’s battle armor and weaponry.

‘Crack’

Blades shattered, armor peeled away, but the Fear Empress instantly repaired, once more engaging in bloodshed with Li Ye Lai.

Punches and weaponry released together, pounding upon Li Ye Lai.

She wanted to grapple in a bloody fight, utilizing her stronger control of spiritual energy to continuously repair her dark gold substance, exchanging this for Li Ye Lai’s death!

The Eternal Chosen Face, recovery of injuries consumed spiritual energy and stamina considerably, accumulating slowly, might not necessarily lose!

Furthermore, every time Li Ye Lai got injured, she could manipulate airflow to inflict a critical hit within his wounds.

Both sides fought fiercely.

With every collision, the dark gold substance on the empress stripped away, quickly reforged.

And Li Ye Lai’s body also burst into a mist of blood, repairing and restructuring in a short time.

“Ah ah ah!”

The Fear Empress screamed in rage, if it were other enemies, hit once and they’d die, but it had to be this bastard!

And fighting until now, for her, was already a kind of disgrace.

Both sides were grappling, the entanglement and contact were inevitable.

Li Ye Lai’s spear was locked, simply using a hand knife to slice the neck. The empress sidestepped to avoid and countered with an elbow, but was blocked, causing their skins to be briefly pressed together. The exposed chest where the armor shattered pressed against the scorching body, burned through her torn clothing into her soul.

This made her mindset collapse, already at a disadvantage, defending became increasingly untenable.

Once more launched into the air with a spear, the Fear Empress felt despair.

She was going to die, die at the hands of this bastard!

But the next instant, realizing Li Ye Lai wasn’t immediately chasing.

The empress dashed away recklessly.

The champion’s spiritual energy exhausted, no longer daring a blood fight?

Or was it because the body identical to the Primordial made him hesitate?

She couldn’t afford to consider further, dashed away at full speed.

Only to… see the girl standing at a distance.

Damned beastmen and mecha, didn’t you hold her back?

‘So… this is it. To leave me for her, huh?’

The empress fell silent, then erupted.

Launched her final charge. As the future emperor, she would never surrender!

And the girl raised her right hand, smacking the Fear Empress’s chest.

“You shall ultimately… become me…” the empress whispered.

The doll said nothing, merely crushed her heart.

At that instant, the wave marking the overlord’s demise rippled and spread within the Void Realm…

Then, the doll stepped towards Li Ye Lai, the unfamiliar aura she carried made her seem like a deity entering the mortal world.

And next moment, the deity buried her face in Li Ye Lai’s neck, the right hand which had just killed a strong enemy, cradling the twisted and deformed left arm.

“Hurts hurts…”
