Netherworld Retrograde

Li Yelai pondered to himself, "That makes sense, otherwise, after that meteor killed hundreds of thousands of Forbidden Zone creatures, my Shadow Army should have easily exceeded ten thousand..."

The Shadow Army required Li Yelai to personally kill creatures in order to devour their shadows and increase the upper limit of his Shadow Army.

Whether it was the current Thunderbolt Forbidden Land or the earlier Super Meteor,

All of these were consequences of curses or Taboo Items that appeared to destroy Li Yelai, killing those Forbidden Zone Humans and Angels purely by AOE collateral damage.

In terms of causality, it was related to Li Yelai, but at most it could only be considered an assist.

Therefore, Li Yelai couldn’t absorb their shadows.

Otherwise, if the shadows of the more than four hundred thousand Forbidden Zone Soldiers killed by the meteor were devoured, Li Yelai’s Shadow Army would indeed have an overwhelming number of troops.

Now, with over six hundred Shadow Soldiers, Li Yelai already felt a powerful augmentation effect; tens of thousands of Shadow Soldiers... Maybe a single Cute Star Sky Collision would be enough to send an Overlord flying?

Li Yelai thought to himself, but his body did not hesitate: with a horizontal slash from the forty-meter-long Thunder Blade in his hand, the Spiritual Barrier constructed by the Forbidden Zone Soldiers with their lives as the price and their rune weapons was directly shattered, destroying any surviving Forbidden Zone Soldiers or Spiritual Ability Users within forty meters as well.

He truly was like the demon from the Forbidden Zone tales, leaving mountains of corpses and seas of blood wherever he went; thousands of Forbidden Zone Soldiers swarmed him, only to leave behind their bodies.

But the Forbidden Zone Soldiers indeed completed the Blindfolded Angel’s plan.
