"Just because you put on a cape doesn't make you a champion. You're not worthy," He Lan said with a faint smile.

The oppressive aura, imbued with powerful spiritual energy and divinity, enveloped this world.

At the same time, translucent cubes appeared around the Celestial Comet Ancient Dragon.

Like a mine appearing in front of a submarine, it completely locked down the speed that the Ancient Dragon Sky Comet was so proud of.

This is the consequence of using the Champion's Cloak; its powerful, bloodthirsty aura is as conspicuous as a torch in a dark forest.

All of humanity's enemies will become aware of his presence.

Some enemies will flee in fear, while others will be drawn in. A battle against the champion!
He Lan was the latter, and indeed, he was no match for the eighth-generation champion.

If the person who came was really Yang Chen, the eighth-generation champion, he wouldn't have shown his face at all.

He wanted to take away Yang Chen's abilities.

But he also knew that among the overlords, almost no one could face a champion at the peak of their power.

Even if there were, it wouldn't be him, the newly crowned overlord.

But this championship came so suddenly that a certain possibility arose in his mind. The new champion might not be the eighth-generation champion.
Of course, it's also possible that someone's inevitable formidable foe had an effect.

Finally, he saw the ancient dragon he had seen in the echoes of the ruins.

He was extremely excited!
Thank goodness, we finally found the Night General!
Regardless of whether Night is parasitized or becomes the Chosen of Elysium, he will kill him here and take away his power!
"It's a hegemon-level power. I can feel the suppression of divinity."

"A demon general from the Bliss faction?"

"He appears to be a powerhouse who has just entered the Overlord level."

The members of the Xuanjia team silently assumed a battle formation. As the only Sixth Sense expert present, Liu Yun took a deep breath and drew his sword from behind him.

Everyone understood that they had to fight tooth and nail.

In the end, we encountered a hegemon.

Li Yelai originally planned to use the Champion's Cloak to draw the Overlord's attention, and then use the movement speed of the Sky Comet Ancient Dragon to evade the Overlord who might pursue them.

After that, he found a safe place and successfully advanced to the sixth level of enlightenment.

Once he obtains the Mythical Mimicry, his combat power will undergo a qualitative change. Combined with the Reversal of Gods and Demons Monument, he can transform into a divine abomination. At that time, he might actually be able to contend with the overlord.

Even if they can't kill the overlord, they can still challenge him.

Unfortunately, everyone underestimated the effect of inevitably encountering a powerful enemy.

This guy has just delivered a top-tier combatant right to his doorstep.

They didn't even give him a chance to advance to the sixth level of enlightenment. He really didn't have much confidence in fighting the overlord Li Yelai at the fifth level.

but
“At least I don’t have to feel so humiliated facing you.” Li Yelai picked up his halberd, his cloak billowing behind him without wind, bringing endless killing intent, as if he were in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood: “After all, I won’t accidentally kill you when I’m facing you.”

"How arrogant. Get this straight, you only have five senses." He Lan looked surprised. "Wait, so you haven't been parasitized by the Heartless Fruit yet?"

This really surprised him; otherwise, why would Ye Jiang restrain himself from killing the enemy?

Is it to avoid being parasitized by the Heartless Fruit?

His gaze swept over the group, lingering on the cheese for a moment.

He then laughed and said, "So, you might actually be a champion, haha."

Before his mocking laughter had even subsided, the crowd had already made their move.

Golden peas were tossed onto the back of the Celestial Comet Ancient Dragon, and in an instant, hundreds of mimicking celestial soldiers appeared.

At the same time, Cheese, with two candies in his mouth, quickly exclaimed, "Rainstorm! Thunder! Calm!"

Dragon's Roar - Torrential Rain!

Immortal Talisman - Thunder!
Immortal Register - Fixed!
In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky, and torrential rain poured down, with bolts of thunder exploding in the dark clouds.

At the same time, an ancient-looking character "雷" (lei, thunder) and "定" (ding, fixation) appeared above He Lan's head.

In that instant, a heavy bolt of lightning struck down, directly hitting He Lan!
This is one of the strongest skill combinations for cheese.

Celestial Talisman - Thunder. Delivers a thunder-attribute elemental attack to the target, equivalent to the Thunderous Swamp in incantations. Of course, it's more powerful.

At the same time, the target is marked by the celestial talisman, essentially turning it into a lightning rod that will be struck by heavenly lightning. Hmm, very similar to Li Yelai with his mask on.

In normal circumstances, 'thunder' is not very useful, after all, its power is just so-so.

However, Dragon's Roar: Rainstorm perfectly solves this problem.

If the weather can be directly altered, then the target can be continuously attacked by lightning.

The ability to slow down the enemy's reaction, forcing them to watch helplessly as they are attacked.

Normally, if a psionicist of the same level were hit by this combination of punches, they would be severely injured, if not killed.

Golden light appeared on He Lan's body.

However, in the next instant, it was torn to shreds. The character "定" shattered instantly.

"Are you kidding me?" He Lan asked calmly, seemingly unconcerned by Cheese's aggressive attack.

The gap in their levels is too great. Cheese is only at the fifth level of awakening and is simply unable to immobilize a hegemon-level powerhouse.

The powerful backlash turned Cheese's face instantly pale, and a bloody taste filled his mouth.

She forced herself to swallow the candy and blood, enduring the discomfort.

She was well aware of the gap between herself and the overlord, but even if she could only attract the enemy's attention for a moment, her mission would be accomplished.

Almost at the same moment the golden light was torn apart, the mimicry of celestial soldiers appeared completely, taking a single step before disappearing onto the dragon's back.

They used teleportation to directly cross the semi-transparent cube that was blocking their way.

High in the sky, outside the cubic encirclement, they dispersed, their longbows drawn to their full extent. They unleashed a barrage of fire at He Lan!

However, a semi-transparent cube appeared in He Lan's hand and rapidly expanded, completely enveloping him.

The arrows of the mimicry soldiers seemed to be paused the moment they touched the cube.

Frozen in place. The arrows were still flying at breakneck speed, yet they couldn't bridge that distance. It was as if a thousand mountains and rivers separated them.

"Can't you resist a little more fiercely? Don't disappoint me too much. Where's your mask?" He Lan laughed, but then saw that the lightning was not only striking her, but also striking the dragon's back.

This puzzled him. What happened? Had his teammates miscoordinated? Had the attack affected their own people?
The next instant, his expression shifted slightly.

Because he saw the champion's agent raise his left hand.

A nearly two-meter-long, dark golden dragon claw phantom appeared. The dragon claw, seemingly grasping, could seize lightning with a single hand!

The lightning was tempered and transformed in his hands, turning into crimson dragon lightning!
He seemed to want to control all the thunder in the sky.

This is the perfect combination of Li Yelai and cheese!

He summoned lightning to strengthen himself; as for attacking He Lan, that was just a side effect!

The next second, a 30-meter-tall golden Dharma image appeared on the dragon's back. The dragon's claw grew even larger, and the crimson dragon lightning in its hand expanded to tens of meters long!

A terrifying pressure filled the sky, and as the thunder surged, the power of the dragon thunder continued to increase and expand!

Even He Lan, the powerful ruler, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "This facial mask can be used like this?"

Immediately, the Dharma Image moved, and the enormous crimson dragon lightning transformed into a sixty-meter-long lightning blade that swept across!

The translucent cubes surrounding the Sky Comet Ancient Dragon were instantly covered, twisting and tearing apart parts of the dragon lightning, and then exploding as if they were being stretched.

With this slash, the Thunder Blade shrank by half in size, but it also cleared away the obstruction on one side of the Celestial Comet Ancient Dragon.

The next instant, the Sky Comet Ancient Dragon's steel wings spewed flames, accelerating its charge!
Escape the cube's encirclement as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, the mimicry of heavenly soldiers continued to attack He Lan, trying to stop her at all costs.

This was Li Yelai and the others' plan. Even with Li Yelai, Liu Yun of the Six Senses, and the other powerful members of the Xuanjia Group, it would be difficult for them to contend against a hegemon.

All they ever wanted to do was escape the siege.

However, while being besieged by the mimicry of the heavenly soldiers, He Lan coldly said, "Now that you've encountered them all, you're not going anywhere."

At that moment, a powerful divine force surged, and a mighty beast appeared out of thin air.

As the saying goes in ancient times.

'Its body is like a horse's, its tail like an ox's, its horns like a deer's, its head like a dragon's, its back covered in scales, and its five-colored fur. It lets out nine howls at a time; its name is Qilin!'

Mythical Mimicry: Qilin!
The qilin suddenly stomped out with its front hoof, causing a terrifying tremor in the surrounding space, and an invisible ripple suddenly spread outwards.

The mimicry of celestial soldiers hovering in mid-air seemed to be swept away by a giant wave, scattering to the ground.

The next instant, the Sky Comet Ancient Dragon, which had already rushed a kilometer away, was struck as if by a heavy blow and crashed down from mid-air.

It crashed heavily onto the mountain below, shattering the peak. It tumbled twice through the mountain range, breaking countless trees and smashing through countless rocks before finally regaining its footing.

The people on the dragon's back were nearly thrown off by the immense force. Had they not all been elite psionicists, they would have had to quickly dodge and deflect the impact, and would likely have been seriously injured.

"It's a Qilin! Is this a mythical mimicry? Is he a psionicist from the Path of Myriad Phenomena?"

"No, what was that three-dimensional space just now? It doesn't seem like the ability of the Myriad Paths at all!"

"Does he also possess multiple paths of psionic power?" The Night Scouts, bewildered by the sudden turn of events, quickly discussed the matter and attempted to launch another counterattack.

"Night General, we'll hold him off. You use the Heavenly Comet Dragon to leave immediately. You can't be hurt," Liu Yun said, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“That’s right, we should be able to hold him off for a while,” another night watchman responded.

“No,” Li Yelai took a deep breath. Looking at the Qilin that was walking towards him step by step through the air in the distance, Li Yelai said quietly, “What captain would abandon his comrades? Besides, his target has always been me.”

"You all retreat first, I have a plan." Li Yelai controlled the Heavenly Comet Ancient Dragon to rise from the mountain forest.

This overlord is even more difficult to deal with than I imagined.

If it were any other overlord, they would probably have already escaped after that move.

Currently, Li Yelai, who is only at the fifth level of enlightenment, is really no match for such a powerful opponent. Even in a battle against someone of a higher level, it's impossible to fight someone two levels higher.

But he does have means of self-defense. He also possesses the forbidden artifact, the Dimensional Slash Blade, and the secret treasure, the Heaven and Earth Cage.

These all possess strong self-protection capabilities.

In particular, the cage of heaven and earth.

This is not only a reliable tool for one-on-one battles, but it can also help you protect yourself.

Li Yelai could easily find any extraordinary creature, trap it in a cage, beat it half to death, and then safely advance to the sixth level of enlightenment within the cage.

Then, kill that supernatural creature, break free of the cage, and go out and get the hell out of there!

But if this overlord fails to capture Li Yelai, he will probably attack Zhishi and the others. I must let Zhishi and the others escape to a safe place before I use the Heaven and Earth Cage!
As for stalling, the doll prepared two bags of hair for him, along with other forbidden items. Stalling shouldn't be a problem.

Once we've endured until the cage of heaven and earth is broken, everything will be alright.

So Li Yelai said, "You all retreat first. I really have a way. I won't force you. Besides, with such a commotion here, the Blissful Faction will probably arrive soon. You don't want to be surrounded."

Liu Yun frowned.

"Follow orders. Now, I'm the captain," Li Yelai said, exhaling.

Cheese then spoke softly, "What's your plan?"

Sensing the quietude in Cheese's words, Li Yelai felt a dull ache and a sharp pain in his chest.

"Don't worry, I have the Heaven and Earth Cage. Once it's opened, he won't be able to do anything to me."

“You can’t stay in this cage forever.” Cheese knew the effects of the cage; Li Yelai had told her that. But as she said, it was only a temporary measure.

If that overlord really wanted to kill Li Yelai, he would probably wait until Li Yelai broke free of the cage.

Li Yelai cannot remain trapped in this cage indefinitely.

"When I break free of the cage, he might not be able to defeat me. Within this cage, I will advance to the Sixth Awakening!" Li Yelai said.

Looking into Li Yelai's eyes, Cheese whispered, "If you die here, I'll go with you."

Li Yelai was speechless for a moment; he could sense that the cheese was serious.

Cheese chuckled lightly: "Speaking of which, if we were to commit suicide like this, wouldn't the doll be angry?"

"I will not die. Nor will there be any suicide pacts," Li Yelai replied softly.

"If you don't want to be misunderstood by the dolls, then survive."

The Xuanjia team quickly departed.

In mid-air, the Qilin arrived, and indeed, it did not pursue the Xuanjia Group.

Instead, it returned to its original form and landed on a hillside not far from Li Yelai.

"Looks like you're the one who's going to lure me away."

He Lan glanced at the departing figures and chuckled, "I thought they'd stay behind to stall me and protect their captain. I even had a plan for how to deal with them."

“A beast like you who has sided with Paradise will naturally not understand the official warriors,” Li Yelai replied calmly.

"Whatever. As long as you die by my hand, you can say whatever you want," He Lan chuckled.

"Then try calling me 'Dad' and see what happens?"

Li Yelai smiled, his left hand tightly gripping the cloth bag in his arms, which contained the doll's fear and curse.

If he can find the right moment to use the Curse of Fear, he can hold out for longer. Once Cheese and the others have escaped far enough, he can use the Heavenly Cage.

However, the next second, something unexpected happened to Li Yelai.

Suddenly, the Thorn Ring on He Lan's wrist shone brightly. The Thorn Ring was very similar to Li Yelai's Heaven and Earth Cage, but it was also slightly different, with some kind of golden pattern.

A thought struck Li Yelai, and he suddenly understood: Why could this guy use abilities along different paths?
So, that was the power he had stolen!
That's a cage that shackles the heavens! (End of Chapter)
