Netherworld Retrograde-Chapter 534 - 251 Golden Ancient Dragon Ball_2

As for Spiritual Ability Users with a low frequency of Awakenings, there isn’t too much to worry about—you can judge them at a glance.

So, there are quite a few Mysterious Materials on the second floor, but the quality is sorely lacking. At most, they could be used to craft C-level Spiritual Ability Equipment.

On the third floor, however, it’s possible to create B-level equipment.

"You seem to be on the verge of the Fifth Sense, barely qualifying you to use A-level Spiritual Ability Equipment. There’s no need for you to look here then. But as for your Divine Chosen Servants, they could take a moment to choose something," said the Old Demon General.

Li Yelai turned to the servants behind him and said, "Then you stay here and have a look."

"Yes, Lord," Gongsun Craftsman and the others hurriedly responded with a bow. Becoming a Divine Chosen Servant entitled them to more rights and resources, and that was only fair.

Li Yelai and the Demon General Bai Ya continued to go deeper with the Old Demon General.

They arrived at the fourth floor, where the materials and Mysterious Substances were all of Sixth Sense strength!

Looking at over a hundred portions of Mysterious Substances, Li Yelai couldn’t help but exclaim, "There are so many!"

Each portion of Mysterious Material signified the death of a Sixth-sense Expert, and there were over a hundred portions here! Had the Church killed over a hundred Sixth-sense Experts?

The real number might be even higher!

"Hehe, one hundred and twenty-nine portions of Mysterious Material... are the fruits of our labor over more than fifty years. We’ve used up quite a lot already. At its peak, there were over two hundred. They come from the Forbidden Zone, from Giant City, from various forces, even from us and other sects," the Old Demon General proudly introduced to Li Yelai.

"And those stored here are particularly precious Sixth Sense abilities. As well as some innate special abilities."

"Take this eyeball, for example..." The Old Demon General carefully picked up a jar containing an eyeball immersed in a viscous fluid to show Li Yelai.

The eyeball itself had a very frightening Chaotic Eyes, with multiple pupils spread across its surface.

"Chaotic Eyes?" Li Yelai raised an eyebrow; he already possessed a pair of Heavy Pupils which he thought were unsightly enough, but this was even uglier.

"Yes, its original owner was a strong individual with spiritual eyes by birth, one of those lucky ones naturally endowed with Spiritual Energy and possessing very special abilities. We don’t even have a Magic Potion for this ability.

And its effect is life-stealing; the stolen life can repair injuries, and that lucky one was almost immortal," the Old Demon General said with a chuckle. "Unfortunately, they were still no match for Lord Tiankui and were slain."

A genius had fallen... Li Yelai felt a slight heaviness in his heart.

Those born with the ability to sense Spiritual Energy tended to have high talent, unique abilities, and the potential to grow to even higher levels. Therefore, once discovered, the authorities would meticulously train them. Just like the Spiritual Eyes Path Spiritual Ability User from Kunlun Giant City who could twist space.

"Was it someone from Giant City?" asked Li Yelai. "If so, it’s no wonder Champion Team One came looking for you."

"That’s not it. It happened before Lord Tiankui rose to Overlord status," the Old Demon General carefully set down the jar and responded, "He was a member of the Wilderness Rangers."

Wilderness Rangers? Li Yelai’s mind stirred; his own father had once been one of the Wilderness Rangers, hadn’t he?

"What organization is that?" Li Yelai asked. Li Qiong had only ever told him how to make contact with the Wilderness Rangers, but he never went into detail about them.

Li Qiong didn’t seem to want Li Yelai to get too involved with the Wilderness Rangers; at most, they could cooperate.

"They’ve been quiet these recent years. It’s normal for you not to know about them."

The Old Demon General thought for a moment and then replied, "They’re a group of Spiritual Ability Users with somewhat odd behavior; some are greedy, and some are valiant. They’ve stolen treasures from the Forbidden Zone and even attacked strong individuals when they were alone.

Their movements are unpredictable, yet they possess a wealth of secret intelligence.

They’ve clashed with us numerous times, and one of our Divine Chosen was surrounded and killed by them.

According to rumors, their leader... is known as the Witness. After our investigations, we suspect the Wilderness Rangers might be tied to an even more mysterious organization."

"Even more mysterious?" Li Yelai frowned.

"Indeed, I wonder if Lord Di Yun is aware..." the Old Demon General began, "of the ark."

"The ark?" Li Yelai’s heart stirred.

The Wilderness Rangers related to the ark? What did it mean—was one of the Rangers an Ark Chosen One?

Or was it suggesting that the Witness, an elector, was part of an organization of Ark Chosen Ones?

The latter possibility seemed more likely, which also made it clear why the Wilderness Ranger could obtain such mystical information.

Having the identity of the Ark Chosen Ones, they could access information from all over the world.

As for the Witness... there was no such person within the ark, could it be that they were already dead? Or was there another codename?

Next time I go to the ark, I must inquire carefully.

"The ark is a very mysterious organization. It seems to be able to communicate with certain people all around the world, regardless of Forbidden Zones and distances," said the Old Demon General, thinking that Li Yelai was interested in the ark and thus explaining, "If you need, I could actually extract relevant information from the think tank and send it to you."

Did Lord Tiankui have contacts with the ark too? I wonder if there are any Ark Chosen Ones among the Divine Chosen of the Church now?

Li Yelai slightly shook his head in response: "No need, I have heard of the ark as well. Actually, it’s nothing significant. Ultimately, we will reign over the world, and then it will all be ours."

"You are right, Lord Di Yun," the Old Demon General said with a nod while smiling.

Then, Li Yelai looked at the materials on the fourth floor and said, "Since we have so much Sixth Sense Mysterious Material, can we mass-produce A-grade Spiritual Ability Equipment?"

"You must be joking," the Old Demon General shook his head, "The requirements for crafting A-grade Spiritual Ability Equipment are quite stringent, particularly regarding the quality of materials. Moreover, if the equipment doesn’t suit the user and needs to be reforged after being pre-made, it’s a hassle. As such, it’s often crafted as needed."

"However, Lord Di Yun, you are entitled to craft an A-grade piece of equipment. You could take a closer look, but I would recommend the Chaotic Eyes, which can heal wounds during battle – an invaluable ability," the Old Demon General suggested.

Li Yelai nodded: "Perhaps, but there’s no rush. I already possess an A-grade weapon of my own and am not particularly in need of more. Next, show me the ultimate resources we have."

The Old Demon General nodded and then led Li Yelai through the last metal door to reach the deepest part of the Treasure Vault. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Here, there were some Taboo Items of lesser danger stored, along with essentials for initiating a bloodthirsty ritual.

Among them, the most eye-catching was a giant red skull, the size of an off-road tire. Even sealed within a red crystal with over ninety percent of its power suppressed, Li Yelai could still feel an oppressive aura that took one’s breath away.

In the face of such entities, even a Divine Chosen like Li Yelai had to pay respects.

For, this was the skull of a King-level Great Demon!

With a sufficient Blood Sacrifice, one could invoke a ritual, summoning the projection of a Great Demon!

The projection would then wreak havoc, harvesting more sacrifices and blood until it reached saturation, thereafter pulling its true form into the physical universe, bringing slaughter to the entire world!

Besides, there were numerous blasphemous objects, the foundation of the Main Base.

Just with these resources alone, even if a King were to appear personally, they could still fight back.

Not to mention, within the Church, there were King-level experts, but even with Li Yelai’s authority, he could not pinpoint their whereabouts.

All he knew was that they were hidden in this world, always ready to corrupt all beings with the power of Chaos.

Li Yelai’s gaze swept over these blasphemous objects.

He knew in his heart that everything here must be completely destroyed, otherwise, waging war with the Giant City using these resources... the consequences were unimaginable.

After a moment of thought, Li Yelai inquired, "Do we have an Ancient Dragon Ball in our Treasure Vault?"

"An Ancient Dragon Ball? Do you need that?" The Old Demon General was taken aback. After pondering, he responded, "We do have one. Once, a Great Demon hunted numerous Ancient Dragons in the Forbidden Zone of the Dragon Tomb, successfully obtaining an Ancient Dragon Ball."

Then, the Old Demon General led Li Yelai deeper, where seven Mysterious Materials were displayed.

These were Mysterious Materials of Overlord, even Supreme Level.

Next to these materials were various other ultra-rare Mysterious Materials.

Li Yelai even spotted a small piece of Black Gold, the material for the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd.

There, was a sphere-shaped crystal radiating golden light, with a small Golden Dragon moving inside it.

A Golden Ancient Dragon Ball!

"Golden, huh..."
