Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The first person to feel the fluctuation, and the person whose pointer changes.

He is the Sword Maniac, the overlord.

As the overlord, he is more sensitive to psychic energy.

Therefore, his reaction was also the fastest.

His muscles bulged, and he accelerated towards the lake. In the next instant, a greatsword was drawn from the sword case on his back.

With one step, he soared into the sky on his sword!

In that instant, a surge of powerful divinity propelled him like an arrow released from a bow, the tip of his sword exploding with sonic booms.

If he hadn't created some distance beforehand, the sonic boom would probably have sent those night watchmen flying.

Following closely behind were Li Yelai and Yueying. Neither of them noticed the spiritual energy fluctuations immediately, but they both saw the change in the pointer.

So the two of them sped forward, each using their own acceleration methods without prior agreement.

Lightning crackled around Yueying, transforming in the next instant into a bolt of lightning too large to be seen with the naked eye. This was his ability, Lightning Avatar! His physical body approached elemental form, rendering him immune to most physical attacks and granting him an extremely fast movement speed boost.

Li Yelai then raised his hand and pulled out the Heavenly Comet Ancient Dragon from the storage space.

The dragon's wings unfurled, unleashing a torrent of psionic flames.

The three were incredibly fast and quick-witted; by the time the Night Scouts sensed the psionic fluctuations, they were already a kilometer away.

Twenty seconds later, Li Yelai and his two companions had traversed nearly ten kilometers to reach the surface of the lake and continued to move rapidly toward the center of the lake.

At this moment, Li Yelai was able to feel the fluctuations emanating from underwater more clearly.

Its psionic fluctuations were noisy and chaotic, more like the fluctuations of a corner of the battlefield being extracted than battle fluctuations.

Is a war taking place on the second floor?
Is it a battle between the natives of the second level, or a group being attacked?
The image of the girl reduced to a charred corpse flashed through Li Yelai's mind again. He gripped the reins tightly and pushed the speed of the Tianhui Ancient Dragon to its limit.

The situation on the second floor is far more dangerous than we imagined!
There's no time to conduct any further investigation. Who knows when the next entrance will appear? By then, it might be too late.

We must take advantage of this opening and go straight to the second level to support them!
Li Yelai immediately called out in the virtual realm: "Sword Madman!"

"I know!" Sword Maniac responded quickly, and an ancient sword appeared in the sword box.

He was naturally aware of the current situation.

The pattern of how the entrance appears and the time when it opens are still unclear.

The energy fluctuations on the second level indicate that the comrades on the second level may be facing a crisis.

We can't delay any longer; we must provide support immediately!

By the time the main force arrives in two days, it may be too late.

Now, the giant city has mastered the art of turning beans into soldiers.

Each of the three carried a thousand simulated heavenly soldiers prepared by the official authorities of the giant city.

If even one person can enter the second level, they can bring along a thousand combatants!

Therefore, the moment Li Yelai spoke through the virtual realm, Jian Kuang understood Li Yelai's thoughts.

As the compass needle in my hand moved down again, I held it upright.

Having determined the approximate location of the entrance, Sword Maniac took a deep breath as he flew high in the sky on his sword.

Immediately, the sword was drawn!
In that instant, the overlord-level spiritual energy surged wildly, and a huge well of souls appeared behind Sword Maniac.

Within the Well of Souls stood a white-haired swordsman clad in white robes and armor—a illusory projection of the Sword Maniac!
As the projection appeared, the intensity of Sword Maniac's spiritual energy surged to its limit!

The spiritual energy, which should have been invisible, took on color; it was a pale white.

This also means that he invoked divinity!
'I can't open the Heavenly Gate, but I can't open yours!'

Sword Maniac's curse surged, and a violent rage surfaced. It was his curse, similar to Zhao Xiao's—both caused him to feel anger when using their abilities.

But with his strong mental fortitude and rich experience, the Sword Maniac channeled his frenzied rage into his enemy.

The troublesome curse has now transformed into his most powerful offensive!

Divinity gathered upon the sword, and the sword roared furiously as it unleashed its power!

At that moment, the entire Wanlong Lake seemed to brighten up for a brief instant.

The five night watchmen, located on the shore in the distance, could only see a flash of white light in the high sky.

Li Yelai and Yueying witnessed a shocking scene.

The massive Wanlong Lake appears to have been cleaved open by an invisible blade, with cracks thousands of meters long and hundreds of meters wide appearing on its surface.

At that moment, the lake water seemed to lose its flow, remaining still on both sides of the crack. The water flow had truly been cut apart, forming two almost stagnant walls of water. Several unfortunate dragons were even cleanly sliced ​​open, their blood staining the lake red.

Sword Maniac's attack briefly parted the lake water.

Similarly, this strike reached a depth of hundreds of meters, exposing the underwater scenery of the lake to sunlight for the first time.

"It's still deeper! Hurry!" Jian Kuang roared, seemingly barely holding on.

The depth of Wanlong Lake is unknown; even a full-force attack from Jian Kuang, which consumes all his divine power, cannot reach the bottom of the lake.

But that's enough to allow Li Yelai and Yueying to arrive faster.

Without any hesitation, the two of them instantly swooped down from the sky.

As they passed by Jian Kuang, a small box and a compass appeared in front of Li Yelai and Yueying respectively.

Unsurprisingly, Sword Maniac was unable to move at the moment, so these supplies could only be entrusted to the two of them.

The two men reached out and took it, then continued their dive, crashing into the bottom of the lake in an instant.

At that speed, crashing into the water is not much different from hitting a mountain.

The terrifying recoil made Li Yelai pause, but he immediately used his ability again and rushed towards the direction indicated by the pointer.

Underwater, the Ancient Dragon's movement speed was indeed affected. It slowed down considerably.

As the cracks in the water began to close, Li Yelai, who was underwater, felt the light around him begin to dim.

But by the last glimmer of light, Li Yelai saw the scenery at the bottom of the lake.

This is an ancient underwater ruin, and within it is a stone forest. At this moment, for some unknown reason, a suction force has appeared between the stone forest, forming a rare underwater whirlpool that is swallowing up the surrounding sand and stones.

That's the entrance!
But Li Yelai saw that the vortex was shrinking, and the entrance was about to disappear again.

At the same time, several dragons sensed the approach of the two people and one dragon, and emerged from the underwater ruins.

The strongest of these dragons is only at the sixth level of awakening, but if they are delayed, they may not be able to enter the entrance in time.

"Then go even faster!" Now that things had come to this, Li Yelai no longer held back, activated his facial makeup, and unleashed the power of Huo Qubing!
The Shadow Army moves with the speed of the wind and the power of thunder!

In that instant, a thousand heavily armored cavalrymen emerged from beneath the water, and the speed of the Sky Comet Ancient Dragon increased once again.

This is Li Yelai's trump card: Cute Star Flying Collision!
On the other side, a powerful dragon opened its eyes. It sensed the aura of overlords, and not just one.
Even though the overlord is powerful, it is far too arrogant for him to dare to venture into the bottom of this lake!

Let me see what's going on.

It thought to itself, and then emerged from the ancient ruins.
Then, a red meteor appeared, approaching with terrifying speed and force in an instant!

Before it could react, it was struck by a meteor.

Amidst screams, he was swept away by immense force and slammed into the vortex. (End of Chapter)
