Netherworld Retrograde-Chapter 514 - 241 Embrace_2

She stepped into the black crack, and the crack closed and disappeared.

...

In the bloodthirsty battlefield at the center of the town,

The battle between Red Fury and Mo Ya was extremely intense; all of their trusted aides and subordinates were dead.

The space where the two were fighting was like a flesh and blood mill.

Even a Five Senses Spiritual Ability User entering it would be instantly killed and shredded by the howling Spiritual Energy.

Yet neither could overcome the other, resulting in a stalemate.

Red Fury’s battle power was slightly superior, but faced with Mo Ya’s endlessly regenerating body, he too struggled to kill him.

And at that moment, the balance was broken by a sudden killing intent.

A pitch-black crack appeared out of thin air, and a woman with a maimed body emerged from the crack, holding a sword and looking down on the two Divine Chosen below.

Red Fury’s face changed dramatically, that terrifying Spiritual Energy was a testament to the woman’s strength.

The one who arrived was an Overlord!

Moreover... When he saw the white treasure sword in the woman’s hand, even the Blood God Chosen One broke out in a cold sweat.

"The Seventh Champion? How is this possible?" His face turned deathly pale, he stared at the woman in disbelief.

The Champion, once dead, had now reappeared in the world; even he felt fear!

If he had advanced to the Seventh Awakening, he would have been thrilled to fight a Champion, but now... against a Champion, he had only death to face!

"Damn it, corpse control? Does the Eternal Life Faction have such a trump card? Did Xue Yin die by her hand?" Red Fury retreated hastily. His crimson aura surged toward him, transforming into a crimson tide as he rushed away into the distance.

But Mo Ya’s face lit up with joy.

"Black Umbrella... finally, you have finished your task!"

He had always been aware of Black Umbrella’s trump card.

Black Umbrella had even traded a lot of materials with him, intending to repair this Overlord’s body, but all attempts ended in failure.

Now, seeing the Seventh Champion coming forth, Mo Ya believed that Black Umbrella must have finally dealt with Emperor’s Fall; maybe even completed the body transition.

Finally, able to lend a hand, fighting a Blood God Chosen One of equal caliber was too much pressure!

This filled Mo Ya with joy, but also some concern.

Black Umbrella was too powerful; though they were allies, nevertheless the advantage he gained was too great.

But now wasn’t the time to consider this.

Mo Ya shouted, "Black Umbrella, kill him quickly! His corpse is yours!"

To Mo Ya’s surprise, the Champion’s maimed body spoke, "No rush, everyone must die."

The voice was calm and clear, nothing like Black Umbrella’s.

Instead... Instead, it was as if the Champion herself was speaking.

This caused Mo Ya’s face to change dramatically.

He stepped back, looking at the woman in horror: "You are... you’re Black Umbrella, right? Right?"

The woman revealed an elegant smile, then raised the treasure sword in her hand.

In the next instant, sword light flashed across the Sky Dome!

...

Meanwhile, in the underground battlefield.

At that moment was filled with the joy of reunion; the team was once made up of relatives and disciples.

Now they had crossed life and death to meet again.

Floating, pinned against the wall by the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd, returned to the ground with the help of Ye Boshou and others.

Floating looked at Cheese, whose eyes were red with emotion, and her own eyes grew somewhat red as she lamented: "It’s been so many years... you’ve grown up so much."

She stepped forward and hugged Cheese, enjoying the joy of sisterly reunion.

A few seconds later, Floating suddenly stepped back in disbelief, looking at Cheese’s chest.

Then, she looked at her own chest pierced by the long spear.

Her expression was odd, her tone envious: "You’ve grown way too big, right? Damn it! My mother raised you; why?"

"At a time like this, you’re still not serious." Cheese spoke softly, her face still pale and haggard, inviting pity.

"Are they okay?" Floating asked quietly.

"Uncle is doing okay, but Aunty is not in good spirits... often mistaking people," Cheese responded.

Floating was silent for a moment before saying, "With Captain’s ability, I might still be able to see them."

The Seventh Champion was capable of slashing through space cracks, easily traversing hundreds of miles; with her power, she might just make it to Giant City before the effect ended.

"Yeah, then you could also see Captain Yang Chen," Cheese said.

"Forget about it... I’ve hurt him too deeply; he was in tears when he held my funeral, he suffered too much..." Floating sighed softly, "When I guided him back then, he was just a dumb young lad. Now he has also grown into a Champion, bearing the Champion’s duty... Since I’m already dead, I won’t cause him more trouble..."

Then, Floating looked over at Li Yelai not far away.

He was discussing subsequent coordination and communication tactics with Ye Boshou and others.

"They say, at the time I attacked you, it was this kid who took the risk and nailed me to the wall, right?" Floating smiled: "He is quite strong."

"Clearly, this cousin could read her younger sister’s mind," she said with a teasing tone.

"Uh-huh," Cheese’s eyes dimmed: "But I attacked him..."

Cheese felt incredibly guilty and pained.

Whenever she remembered that scene, her heart ached terribly.

"It was just a misunderstanding, explaining it clearly will do, and besides, you did it to fulfill your promise to him, right? Just like me and Yang Chen... that’s the noblest promise to a friend." After pondering for a few seconds, Floating added, "He’s a Champion Inheritor, right?"

"Uh-huh. You noticed?" Cheese nodded slightly.

"With that kind of talent and strength, there’s nothing surprising," said a Champion Member. "Also, I asked my brother... The Night General is really clueless..."

"Is that the main point in the end?"

"I was wondering why it felt a bit like Yang Chen and the captain. Turns out their emotional intelligence is similar?"

"The curse of Champions..."

They sighed silently at Li Yelai, who had just approached, leaving him confused.

But he still greeted them.

Floating, on the other hand, walked around Li Yelai twice, sizing him up.

Finally, he patted Li Yelai on the shoulder and said, "Young man, please take good care of my sister."

"Of course!" Li Yelai responded.

"It looks like you’re getting along well..."

Then, a calm female voice spoke from behind, and a crack appeared out of nowhere. The seventh-generation Champion walked out through the crack.

She flicked off the blood droplets from her treasure sword: "Done, it’s dealt with..."

Her words were very casual, as if she’d just gone downstairs to buy some groceries.

As her statement ended, two terrifying waves of Spiritual Energy fluctuation echoed through the Void Realm, and two Divine Chosen died at that moment!

But for a Champion of Overlord Level, this wasn’t anything surprising.

She was the protagonist of that era, unbeatable among her peers.

Not to mention two Divine Chosen a level below her.

Let’s share it nine to one, then.

One stroke from her, and they’re in nine pieces...

To challenge her, at least an Overlord Level Divine Chosen was needed, right?

Afterward, the seventh-generation Champion looked at everyone and said, "So, how do you wish to proceed? Return to Giant City with me, or stay here? It’s far, and we need to set out soon."

It was a thousand kilometers away from No.3 Border City. If they had to go around the Forbidden Zone, the distance would be more than triple that.

If they went through the Forbidden Zone, well, that distance would be even further... the space inside the Forbidden Zone was larger...

But for the seventh-generation Champion, it was not difficult.

It also gave the briefly revived Champions the option to take one last look at their hometown and see their families one more time.

All the Champion Members chose to go with the seventh-generation Champion. Some Night Generals from other Giant Cities also planned to leave together.

They had to cooperate with the memory lock-down of No.3 Border City.

After confirming the number of people, the seventh-generation Champion swung her treasure sword again, and a hundred-meter-long black crack appeared.

"Let’s go."

"Night General, live well!"

"Goodbye."

The Champion Members said goodbye to their loved ones, then stepped into the crack.

The next second, the crack closed, taking them all away.

"Hope they make it in time..." Li Yelai whispered, turning to see Cheese.

For some reason, the other Night Generals retreated on their own, leaving the space to the two of them.

And Cheese was slightly looking up at Li Yelai, her face still somewhat pale.

After a long time, her hair had grown a bit longer too.

"It’s been a while," whispered the girl.

"Yeah, it’s been a while," Li Yelai replied.

The next second, he felt something soft and warm.

The girl’s arms wrapped around Li Yelai’s neck and back, her little face buried in his neck while her breath lingered by his ear, warmth pervading his senses.

This sudden hug didn’t vanish in an instant.

It made him distinctly feel the softness and warmth at his chest and the smooth, delicate touch of the girl’s cheek.

At the same time, the girl whispered in his ear, her warm breath brushing past it.

"Just like we said back then..."

"You can take it back if you want."
