Netherworld Retrograde-Chapter 541 - 255 Mimicry·Divine Hidden Dragon Soul

Li Yelai felt as though he had not swallowed a sweet magic potion but numerous sharp blades.

The magic potion liquid turned into sharp blades within his body, unfolding.

They began madly cutting or piercing through Li Yelai’s bones, organs, and energy pathways.

Even though there were no wounds on his body, Li Yelai felt as if he could see the blades breaking through.

Even for Li Yelai, who had been through countless bloody battles, he was now drenched in cold sweat and his body trembled from the pain.

Every bone, every energy pathway, every inch of flesh was ruthlessly torn apart at this moment.

Damn it! Even dismemberment doesn’t involve breaking bones!

Li Yelai gritted his teeth, bearing the intense pain as he entered meditation.

However, in his mind, he heard the indifferent voice of Mr. Shadow, "This magic potion is too potent for you. Do you need my help?"

"You would lend a hand?" Li Yelai struggled to respond but did not stop his actions, his Virtual Realm Projection stepping into the Soul Well, beginning the advancement to the Fifth Sense.

"You’ve offered many high-quality sacrifices which have greatly reduced the intervals at which I can assist you. In less than a month, you will be able to trade with me again," Mr. Shadow said with a laugh. After the Insect Master, Li Yelai had slain too many powerful beings: angels, the Withered, Chaos believers, even the Sixth Sense Black Umbrella. They all became sacrifices offered to Mr. Shadow.

"Of course, if you burst apart and die now, I can also save you and grant you the power you desire. Of course, this would still count as a trade."

"Ha..." Li Yelai’s face twitched with pain, and after letting out a cold laugh, he ignored Mr. Shadow’s temptation.

How could he waste a trade on something like this?

Would he have to rely on Mr. Shadow for every Awakening hereafter?

He certainly wasn’t going to stop here!

It’s just a magic potion, watch me overcome it!

As his Virtual Realm Projection crossed the Soul Well, the pain in his body vanished in an instant.

The Virtual Realm Starry Sky rained down countless stars, pouring into the Projection.

In that instant, Li Yelai’s Spiritual Energy and physique were growing at a rapid pace; he was stepping into a higher level of life.

At the same time, a new power was surging within him.

He was about to ascend to the Fifth Sense!

But...Li Yelai suddenly felt a sense of danger, not from the Void Realm, but seemingly from the Physical World?

"What’s going on? Is someone launching a strong attack on the Ascension Hall?" Li Yelai couldn’t help but wonder. With so many armies outside for protection, there shouldn’t be any danger.

Unless...

In that instant, the room’s door was violently broken open and a multitude of believers from the Blood God Sect with fierce expressions rushed into the room.

Jiang Yong and other Chaos Demon Generals smashed through the walls, roaring furiously.

They were carrying the mutilated body and head of a girl.

Her body, with its perfect curves, was ripped open, the organs scattered and swaying.

Those impressive long legs had been directly severed, pale and jade-like they now were full of wounds, ruthlessly chopped and pierced on the spears waving.

Countless drops of blood fell, then this band of angry believers.

And the girl’s cold and elegant face was forever fixed in an expression of pain and despair.

That was...the Little Mad King!

This scene tensed every muscle in Li Yelai’s body, a surge of grief and murder swelled in his heart, which was then immediately quelled, as he watched impassively.

On the other side, Jiang Yong grabbed the Little Mad King’s hair, lifted her head, and slammed it in front of Li Yelai. Blood and Shattered Bones stained Li Yelai’s pants.

"Emperor’s Fall, you traitor!"

Jiang Yong roared as they raised their weapons and attacked Li Yelai in unison.

Li Yelai remained silently seated, letting the blades pierce his body, letting Jiang Yong’s axe descend, severing his head.

And the next instant, Li Yelai returned to the Void Realm.

Brilliant starry skies descended; he was still within the Soul Well, the Void Realm continued to enhance his Spiritual Energy and physique.

"The scenery was indeed realistic... even replicating the scars on the Little Mad King’s thighs. Was it an illusion built from my own cognition?" Li Yelai evaluated the recent illusion in his mind.

Had he resisted just now, that would have been exactly stepping into the Void Realm’s trap.

The safety of his teammates and his own concealment were of utmost concern to Li Yelai, and the illusion shattered all of it, intending to entice Li Yelai to reveal flaws and thus become twisted or... fall into some irreversible doom.

And an illusion constructed from his own knowledge would almost have no flaws.

Had it not been for Li Yelai’s preparedness to see anything imaginable, he probably would have fallen for it subconsciously.

Truly cunning... Was this the power of Deceit Dao?

It seems that even after becoming a Chaos Chosen, one cannot escape the corruption of Chaos. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Of course, this might also be because I am not a true Divine Chosen...

Li Yelai steadied the fluctuations in his heart and moved forward again.

He thought he saw himself leading armies to countless victories!

Dispelling Chaos, exterminating Forbidden Zones, allowing humans to become the masters of this world again.

The people within Giant City would revere and worship him, erect gargantuan statues for him, create paintings, and sing of his legend...

He would obtain endless glory and power.

He sat upon the high tower’s throne, looking down at countless Supremes kneeling before him, accepting the subjugation of all Giant City and Forbidden Zones.

And by the throne, a number of beautiful maidens dressed in lavish gold-woven gossamer gowns. Through the gossamer, he could easily see the elegant figures of the maidens...

A beautiful girl was leaning down to kiss his neck, deepening the love bites on it.
