"No wonder it’s a dedicated inlay, it actually changed the original skill."

Li Rui sighed a bit; the enhancement this Great Demon Black Law provided to Reverse Yin and Yang was a bit excessive.

Not only did the skill effect increase by 150%, but both physique and spirit, these two general attributes, could also increase by 50%, and it lasted for a whole three minutes without any side effects; this was just too powerful.

At this moment, the Yin Yang Umbrella was already in his hand, and there were two beads on the originally jade-like white umbrella handle; they were the two inlays, though there was still one vacancy.

He had reason to suspect there was another dedicated inlay that could enhance the yang aspect of Reverse Yin and Yang, but it hadn’t been found.

Strangely, before he set off, he asked Chen Cheng to calculate, and the Prophet couldn’t find anything else related to the Cave Profound Yin Yang Umbrella in the Secret Realm; maybe the remaining piece wasn’t in the Secret Realm battlefield.

However, if it’s not here, it can only be in the Upper Realm, which is not good news.

Looking back at the panel itself, it was very compatible with Li Rui; he didn’t need to re-roll a single attribute, which made him think about his advanced profession and process, and perhaps there really was some connection with this umbrella.

Looking at the new weapon in his hand, Li Rui was very excited, as if he had just built a new PC with a 4090 graphics card, eager to start it up for a round of Landlord.

But suddenly, his expression changed.

Last time he advanced, after he obtained the Grand General Flowing Gold Fire Bell’s badge, he was immediately teleported out of Celestial Street Thunder City, but now, after he had claimed ownership of the Cave Profound Yin Yang Umbrella and even installed two inlays, he was still here laughing naively for several seconds.

If he couldn’t leave now, doesn’t that mean.....

As he was pondering, he suddenly heard a bang, and the warehouse instantly became brighter than before.

The door, which was merely ajar before, was now wide open, and two Divine Generals standing guard at the main gate of the armory appeared at the entrance.

Li Rui immediately sensed a huge danger and activated Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture, springing towards Cheng Mingyue, grabbing her with a teleportation away from their original spot.

Boom—

A fire dragon scorched through the warehouse, and the spell casually thrown by the two Divine Generals had the intensity of the All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell.

However, at this moment, Li Rui had already ridden the burning wind, using the Escape Technique, transforming into a cyan light and rushing out.

Everything happened so fast that even Cheng Mingyue was still in a state of confusion, lying on Li Rui’s shoulder, only seeing the warehouse behind them getting smaller and smaller, as if the two of them were going to disappear into the distance.

The two Celestial Soldiers Divine Generals were closely chasing behind, unable to quickly close the distance.

Li Rui moved with the wind, his speed especially fast, this escape technique truly extraordinary, something only the Divine Spirits of the Upper Realm could compare to.

However, he hadn’t rushed far before he had to stop because all around was filled with clouds and fog, unable to see further, yet instinctively he felt a sense of danger.

If this was truly the Upper Realm, then where could he escape to be safe?

Li Rui thought, could it be that he must fight these two Divine Generals to return?

It made sense; even if one stole the loot early, one must face the boss.

The problem was, could he really defeat them?

He manipulated the wind while the gusts had yet to weaken, turning to the side to descend, catching the two Divine Generals off guard with such a change, their speed too fast, unable to stop themselves, passing by their target.

"Fight."

Li Rui tossed Cheng Mingyue aside, uttering just one word before immediately seizing the opportunity to use consumable items.

[Bright King’s Talisman: Defense attributes increased by 50%.]

[Mirror Advancement Talisman: 30% chance to deflect a portion of incoming spell damage.]

[Celestial Cyan Pill: Spirit attributes +100.]

[Life Rejuvenation Pills: Spiritual power recovery speed increased by 30%.]

....

Most of these were things he found while rummaging in the warehouse earlier. Though reluctant, he used them all tearfully; items can be earned again, but if he died, especially in such a mystical space, he might not even return to reality.

When he finished using the string of items, Cheng Mingyue’s enhancements also arrived.

[Light Condensation: Spiritual power increased by 70%, lasting for 30 seconds.]

[Moonlight: Spell damage increased by 50%, lasting for 25 seconds.]

[Reverse Yin and Yang: Power attributes increased by 30%, lasting for 30 seconds.]

[Strong Jump: Physique attributes increased by 30%, lasting for 30 seconds.]

[Reverse Burn: Fire attribute damage increased by 50%, lasting for 25 seconds.]

These few skills were her treasures, last used when Li Rui made a long-distance raid, forcing back the Divine Son, Vons.

Now, she heard Li Rui say to fight, without any hesitation, she immediately began support.

Unlike before, when Li Rui used items, so did she; and, having acquired new legendary-level equipment, the duration and intensity of the skills had significantly increased, with even an additional slot available.

Facing the returning Divine Generals, both were extremely vigilant, as these opponents surpassed the Secret Realm battlefield’s world NPCs’ restrictions.

The two gatekeepers appeared humanoid, with deep cyan skin, three eyes on their faces, small fangs protruding from the corners of their mouths, and their armors and weapons glittering like jewels, extraordinarily magnificent.

They were evidently furious with the two intruders in their armory, unwilling to say more than a word, immediately raising their hands and casting two spells.

One used a diamond bracelet to pull out a ball of flowing fire, while the other slammed a hammer to produce lightning.

Combined, their spells indeed resembled the All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell.

At this point, Li Rui also struck out, using none other than the All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell.

Upon unleashing this skill, both Divine Generals on the opposite side were visibly surprised.

Thunder Division spell?!

They didn’t expect such precise thunder from an intruder, more authentic than their own, as if they were the thieves breaking into the armory.

As the two forces of thunder and fire intertwined, Li Rui was clearly at a disadvantage.

Facing two, despite the Divine Generals seemingly lacking full grasp of Community Thunder, they had a higher realm.

Their thunder fire continued to charge forward, Cheng Mingyue hurriedly delayed them with control skills, while Li Rui took the chance to relocate with Thunderbolt Flash but was still hit by some of the damage.

Given the spell’s intensity, if this were before, he wouldn’t have survived unscathed, but having used a multitude of defensive items beforehand, he was fine.

He felt more assured; these two Divine Generals were certainly powerful, but only gatekeepers, and he had discerned the possibility of victory, found within the Cave Profound Yin Yang Umbrella in his hand.

Activating Reverse Yin and Yang, Li Rui switched to the yin side.

For the first time, due to a status skill, his body underwent a transformation: like the Divine Generals, his skin started to darken, his eyeballs filled with blood, ultimately rendering the whites of his eyes pitch-black as ink.

Lightning, rain skill effects increased by 150%, Netherworld Reversal, physique increased by 50%, spirit increased by 50%.

After the transformation, he first used Mist Flow Control, which under the settings belonged to rain; the originally peaceful mist took on an inky hue, clearly possessing considerable corrosive properties, and encircled the two Divine Generals centrally.

At this point, the always silent Divine Generals finally couldn’t help themselves, uttering the first words since their encounter.

"Who are you!"

"Are you from the Exorcism Institute?!"
