“Swish!”
Outside a forest in the Prison of Wood, a blood-red ray of sword light was whooshing by. Some red trees were torn apart one by one. The ray stopped after nine miles. That was to say, the trees within this area were all cut open.
Those were not the regular trees. They were called Fire Stones, which implied that the trees were as stiff as stones scorched by fire. It would take a Human Sovereign Realm warrior quite some time to cut the trees which were the most solid ones in the Prison of Wood.
“Swish—”
Soon, another blood-red ray of sword light came out. This time, this ray was thicker than the previous one and carried more power.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
More trees known as Fire Stones were halved in the middle. Everywhere the ray traveled to, the Fire Stones would fall down. The ray of sword light did not slow down at all. In the time for a few breaths, the ray of sword light had traveled several miles and still, the ray did not slow down one bit.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
After over a dozen miles, the energy in the ray of sword light finally waned. Every place the ray of sword light touched, the Fire Stones were cleaved in two.
“Wow, wow~”
Lu Li heard a shout of surprise. Bai Xiashuang opened her cherry lips, shocked. Looking at the Relic weapon in Lu Li’s hand, she exclaimed, “Darling, the Relic weapon makes you more powerful. This is awesome.”
Bai Xiashuang should be about thirty years old. However, whether it’s her looks or personality, she was still like a young girl.
Bai Xiashuang finally made efforts. A while back, she reached the Human Sovereign Realm. Her life expectancy should have been longer. Without any surprise, she should be able to live for one to two thousand years.
Compared to that time, Bai Xiashuang was a young girl indeed. But in history, some powerful warriors with long life expectancy couldn’t necessarily live that long. It was not because some accidents had happened but because they felt life was boring so they committed suicide.
It could be understood upon closer thought. After living a long time, one would feel nothing was of interest because that person would have experienced everything.
When one was too advanced in age, there wouldn’t be more progress in the realm. One’s friends would die sooner or later or even children and grandchildren. The person would be numb to the feelings, bored, alone, and sad. Gradually, the person would have the intent to end his or her life…
Of course, there were some senior warriors that were not willing to let go of their lives in this way. They would go to dangerous places to explore and to cultivate for further development.
Many senior warriors in the nine universes would go to the upper five levels of the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos to take the risk for more advanced realm. But usually, they would lose their lives there.
Bai Xiashuang was only a bit over thirty years old. Naturally, she would not be numb or bored with life. When she heard that Lu Li was going to test his findings, she came over with great interest.
“Yes, it is quite nice!”
Lu Li stroke the black saber in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. “This Relic weapon can better the Slayer’s move by almost two times. Relic weapons are really impressive.”
“Immortal’s body, come out!”
Lu Li let him out and gave him an order, “Hit me. Use half of your strength.”
Lu Li could not have the immortal’s body punch him with full strength. On the off chance that he could not stand it, his body would explode. A glow rose as the purple armor emerged outside his body.
“Whoosh!”
The immortal’s body dashed over and punched at Lu Li. The purple armor glowed. Lu Li felt a tremble and he was forced back by one hundred feet. He nodded. The Relic armor shielded all harm.
“Whoosh~”
The immortal’s body came again, smashing Lu Li again and again. Lu Li concentrated on the Relic armor. Checked upon further, he realized that there was a strange formation inside the armor, and that formation was the one that dissolved the strong attack from the immortal’s body.
Lu Li was interested in this formation. He let the immortal’s body go on while he checked the armor. With every attack, Lu Li could feel a strand of energy swarming into the armor. But that energy would be split up by the Relic armor. It was as if the immortal’s body had punched on the water, stirring up ripples.
“A formation within formations!”
Lu Li studied closely. There were multiple formations inside the armor. When the energy spread across the first layer of formation, it would go through other formations one by one until the energy vanished completely.
“Such intricate formation. Such a delicate structure!”
Lu Li nodded to himself. Upon further thought, he told the immortal’s body to attack him with full speed. This time, when the immortal’s body struck, Lu Li was knocked away by hundreds of miles.
“That is great!”
Lu Li tried to sense the energy with his eyes closed. He noticed that the energy was in a mass. Once the energy reached his armor, the energy exploded—causing a strong impact.
“No wonder!”
When the immortal’s body attacked at warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm, he could smash them to death in one move. His enemies would burst into a mist of blood immediately.
Now, Lu Li could understand it. When the immortal’s body attacked with full force, the energy would burst. Naturally, an average warrior would be ripped into pieces when a mass of violent energy exploded in his or her body.
“This formation is good!”
Lu Li felt many formations were activated at the same time inside the armor. The formations suppressed down the mass of violent energy. The formations were absorbing that mass of energy and that dissolved the violent energy.
“Stop now.”
Lu Li had already tested the strength of the Relic armor. There was no need for the immortal’s body to go on anymore. Lu Li let the immortal’s body back and then used the Relic armor to launch a random attack.
“Swish~”
A ray of sword light dashed out. Lu Li closed his eyes to observe. Inside the Relic weapon were also many miraculous formations. It seemed that the formations were the reason that the Relic weapon could strengthen attacks.
“Too bad that Ke Mang cannot see those formations or else his learnings of Inhibition Formations can be improved greatly.”
He could see into the Relic because he had taken control of it and there was a spiritual connection. Ke Mang could not get his psychic power in.
“Time to go!”
After a while, Lu Li was satisfied. He was ready to take Bai Xiashuang back to the Valley of Cherry Blossoms.
Bai Xiashuang did not leave. She stood there and said, “Darling, don’t you want to go and check on Little White? Little White is always cultivating alone. I feel so sorry.”
“Little White?”
Lu Li was surprised. He suddenly realized that he had not been paying attention to Little White for quite some time.
Since Little White was not quite capable, comparatively speaking, Little White could no longer offer any help to Lu Li. Recently, Lu Li did not take Little White to any battles. Little White had been cultivating in the Ding of Barbarian God and never went to see Lu Li.
A tender part in his heart was touched when he thought of that little guy. Lu Li asked in a hurry, “Where is Little White? Has it been cultivating? Still in the Ding of Barbarian God?”
“No!”
Bai Xiashuang said with an aching heart, “Several years ago, Little White had been cultivating in the Ding of Barbarian God outside the Valley of Cherry Blossoms. Little White came back several times, but you have always been cultivating, so Little White asked me to take it to the Island of Tranquility. Now, Little White is cultivating in the thunderstorm area all day long.”
“Well…”
Lu Li was touched, and he felt guilty somehow. Little White was smart, just like a human being. Little White must have realized that it could not help Lu Li and thought that it was no longer needed or loved by Lu Li. Therefore, Little White went to the Island of Tranquility to absorb lightning to cultivate and to be strong, so that Lu Li would pay attention and grew fond of it again.
“Let’s go to the Island of Tranquility!”
Lu Li decided to take this trip before much thought to meet this adorable little guy and to let Little White know; that he would never dislike it and it would always be his favorite pal.
