Netherworld Retrograde-Chapter 535 - 252: Sealed Blood Ore Crystal

The good news was, Li Yelai had found the Ancient Dragon Ball.

The bad news was, it was the Golden Ancient Dragon Ball!

The Ancient Dragon Ball was placed inside a crystal cabinet, which, from the outside, looked like a translucent golden spherical crystal, roughly the size of a billiard ball—or perhaps, like an egg?

Inside, a small golden dragon moved about as if it had noticed Li Yelai’s gaze. The golden dragon looked towards Li Yelai, and the powerful aura, unique to the Ancient Dragon, swept towards him.

This was no illusion, as Li Yelai could see his own Spiritual Barrier shaking.

"Quite the arrogant one, huh..." Old Demon General stepped forward to shield Li Yelai from the Ancient Dragon’s formidable presence.

The power of the Ancient Dragon Ball was gradually suppressed by stronger Spiritual Energy and ceased moving.

"Lord Di Yun, the items on this fifth level are still dangerous for you," Old Demon General kindly reminded, with an expression that almost shouted: ’You’re too weak, kid, these things could kill you.’

Despite Li Yelai’s elevated status, he was still a Four Awakenings Spirit User, and every item here posed a definite danger to him.

Not to mention, the Ancient Dragon Ball, those extraordinary materials had the ability to warp reality and assimilate people.

"Indeed, it’s too dangerous here for me." Li Yelai replied, eyeing the wonders before him, yet he inwardly sighed with regret.

It just had to be the Golden Ancient Dragon Ball... precisely the one he could not be sure whether he could fulfill the conditions.

The Red Ancient Dragon Ball required one to personally experience a bloody war with the demise of over two hundred thousand beings. Li Yelai had already accomplished that.

The White Ancient Dragon Ball required taking a Magic Potion at an altitude of ten thousand meters while witnessing the sun and moon in the same sky. It was difficult, but Li Yelai could attempt it. Suffering a bit, mounting his steed with an oxygen bottle, he should be able to meet the condition.

But the Golden Ancient Dragon Ball... required killing a being three levels stronger than oneself.

Damn!

What kind of absurd condition is that?

And it just had to be the Golden Ancient Dragon Ball that came, the one with conditions Li Yelai couldn’t meet.

Unless he brokered a deal with Mr. Shadow, even as a Divine Chosen receiving Divine Favor, he was no match for the Overlord. He could kill Fifth Sense, but against Sixth Sense, he stood no chance, not to mention a Seventh Awakening Overlord? One look from a Seventh Awakening could obliterate Li Yelai.

How was he to fulfill this?

Unless... the killing of the Insect Master also counted as Li Yelai’s deed, then it would fulfill the condition.

At the time, Li Yelai was only Third Awakening; as long as the level of the Insect Master exceeded Sixth Sense, it would be considered fulfilling the condition.

After thinking it over, Li Yelai asked, "Do we have other Ancient Dragon Balls within our Main Base?"

"Other Ancient Dragon Balls?" Old Demon General frowned and then shook his head: "They are treasures that can only be encountered, not sought. Even in our Main Base’s library, only two Ancient Dragon Balls are recorded. One is this golden one, and the other, a blood-red one, was favored by the Blood Martial Demon and made into a Supreme Weapon."

"Later, that Blood Martial Demon was banished by the Amber Supreme, who is now the Amber King, and his Supreme Weapon disappeared."

A red Ancient Dragon Ball, huh? Pity it was cherished by the Chaos Demon and consumed... to say nothing of where the Supreme Weapons had gone, completely missing this opportunity.

Li Yelai sighed with regret in his heart. What he really wanted was the Red Ancient Dragon Ball. That was the material whose condition he had already ensured. As long as he got the Red Ancient Dragon Ball, he could ascend to Fifth Sense today!

Such a shame...

Otherwise, even the White Ancient Dragon Ball would do, at least there was hope of completion, but it just had to be the golden one...

"Why do you need Ancient Dragon Balls? At your level, you can’t use Supreme Weapons," Old Demon General inquired.

After all, to outsiders, though extremely rare, Ancient Dragon Balls were just a material for manufacturing Supreme Weapons.

With Li Yelai’s current strength, he shouldn’t even be touching this sort of thing; he couldn’t even fully master A-level weaponry.

In the words from before the Calamity, it was like ’not winning even a regional match in Asia, yet dreaming of winning the World Cup?’

The gap in levels was simply too great.

"You should know, my abilities are rather special and confidential." Li Yelai explained.

"I’m aware. Red Fury once sent a message, setting your ability’s confidentiality level to only be known by Divine Chosen. Thus, even the Demon Generals are not privy to your ability, only knowing that you are from the Wanxiang Path." Old Demon General nodded, Li Yelai’s ability was indeed top secret, he didn’t know it.

Red Fury and Xue Yin had requested the highest level of confidentiality.

Naturally, they did it to hide Li Yelai’s identity.

After all, they had considered having Li Yelai return Undercover to Giant City as Night General.

And with Li Yelai’s unique ability, once exposed, it would be impossible to conceal his identity.

"A certain four-eyed lord, through an oracle, informed me that I could seek out Ancient Dragon Balls to enhance myself," Li Yelai said.

Only Divine Chosen received oracles, others couldn’t verify it.

So, Li Yelai pinned it on that four-eyed lord. As a Divine Chosen, receiving oracles was not strange.

Sure enough, Old Demon General’s expression shifted slightly, a Four-eyed lord? Wasn’t that one of the sub-deities under Blood God?

This made him no longer doubt.

"I see..." Old Demon General’s expression turned serious: "I will contact various sub-branches to search for clues about Ancient Dragon Balls."

Li Yelai nodded, and Old Demon General then asked, "Is this Golden Ancient Dragon Ball no good?"
