“Boom, boom, boom!”
The scene of nearly one hundred Semi-God Realm warriors was quite spectacular.
Each Semi-God Realm warrior had their own modes of attack. Some were using Bloodline skills and some with Profound Meanings—some attacks were like the milky way was falling down; there were countless meteor stones, dragons of water, some shadows of strange beasts, and there were even clones of the warriors. Everything was smashing into the city…
It was nice to see. Lu Li used psychic power to check. Nobody was phoning it in. Everyone was exerting full strength.
However, there was little progress. The black shield outside the Divine Imperial City was shining brightly. Though so many people were attacking, the city shield did not tremble at all. Instead, the shield was shining more glaringly.
“Immortal’s body, go!”
Lu Li released it and told it to strike the city. However, the Immortal’s body could not harm the shield at all. The Divine Imperial City was like a solid shield, secure against assault.
Lu Li did not take action. He hovered in the sky, looked at others calmly and monitored them.
After a while, Lu Renhuang could not stay still. He joined the others and sent out countless ice pitons which dashed toward the city like sharp swords.
Time moved on. It had been four hours, but the Divine Imperial City remained intact.
Lu Li had not done anything apart from staying at the rear and monitor others. He could clearly feel that someone was slowing down and devoting less effort…
Morale was dropping. One must press on to the finish without setup, otherwise one would be less committed as time moved on. After all, attacking at the Divine Imperial City would not bring immediate benefits to some. There were warriors that did not hate the Yan Family much. It was inevitable that the Semi-God Realm warriors would be upset after attacking for such a long time with no progress.
In addition to them, even Lu Li was frustrated. So many Semi-God Realm warriors would have blasted a regular city to dust already.
The Divine Imperial City was known was the strongest one in the nine universes. In history, more than one immortal came to attack but only to return in failure. How could Lu Li and the group crack the city when not even immortals could do it?
“Ha, ha!”
Yan Hu disdainfully said, “Don’t slack. Go on with full force. The Divine Imperial City has much energy. You can do it for five hundred years first. Then I believe the shield outside will be dimmed down. After about two to three thousand years… the Divine Imperial City will be broken. Come on.”
Yan Hu’s words further frustrated the warriors. They knew that Yan Hu was exaggerating. That being said, the Divine Imperial City’s defense mechanism was strong and had been absorbing energy for hundreds of thousands of years. It might be true that the city couldn’t be cracked before they could devote hundreds of years.
Hundreds of years?
Some old warriors did not have much life left in them. They might not be able to survive hundreds of years. Even if they had enough time, who would keep on going for hundreds of years? They could not stand a few years in boredom even if they would not wear out.
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Lu Li laughed. “Yan Hu, don’t think that the Divine Imperial City is so awesome just because it is a Relic. Yan Zhen had Relic armor on and still, I killed him. I have been studying Inhibition Formations and I know something about formations from the Divinity. Let me study it for a while. Later, I will come back and crack the city in person!”
“Buzzing!”
Lu Li entered the Wicked Bead and said, “Guys, keep on. Make the energy of the Divine Imperial City burn out. Later, I will take the matter into my own hands and break the city. By then, everyone will be rewarded.”
Lu Li’s words instilled hope in others. Yan Zhen had Relic armor but died in Lu Li’s hands. That was an undeniable fact. Maybe, Lu Li really had the ability to crack the Divine Imperial City.
This time, Lu Li did not go to the inner hall. Instead, he went to the hall filled with books on Inhibition Formations.
He had decided to spend some time and study Inhibition Formations. He could not become an immortal within a short time, not to mention that it did not necessarily mean that he could even be as powerful as an immortal.
The hall had tens of thousands of books inside and all were about Inhibition Formations, including those from the Divinity. There might be a way that could crack the Divine Imperial City.
“Deaf Taoist, Blazing Huo!”
Lu Li sent out another message. “I will cultivate and study Inhibition Formations. You two will supervise others. If anyone slacks or overtly agree but covertly oppose, you can punish them as you see fit.”
“Well…”
Many people were scared. Lu Li was putting two sharp swords above their heads. Blazing Huo and the Deaf Taoist were both Lu Li’s soul slaves and they would carry out Lu Li’s orders resolutely. If anyone were to slack, they probably would be killed by the two directly…
Instantly, the warriors braced themselves up and kept on attacking. They have decided to exert full strength for a few months. In this way, Lu Li could not blame them even if they could not crack the Divine Imperial City.
Lu Li sent He Yue and did not bother himself of the situation outside. Anyways, He Yue would alert him should anything happen. Lu Li began to focus on the books in the hall to find a way to crack the Divine Imperial City.
The Divine Imperial City must be cracked, and Lu Li was determined to have this Relic. That was the only way to make sure that the Lu Family would not suffer attacks after he went to the Divinity.
Lu Li browsed through the books quickly. In an afternoon, he found three books that could help crack a formation from Divinity.
However…
Upon further reading, he realized he could not understand much. He did not know much about Inhibition Formations and he could not understand some of the technical terms at all.
That was to say, in order to understand the three books, he must have a systematic learning of the basics of Inhibition Formations. Otherwise, to study the three books was impossible.
“Alas..”
Lu Li did not want to study those. However, he had no other options.
He thought for a while. Now, the Heaven Reverse Universe and the Prison of Wood were safe. He had time. He wanted to spend a few months and educate himself about Inhibition Formations.
“The Complete Collection of Inhibition Formations!”
Lu Li picked out the easiest one. He concentrated and started with baby steps.
His soul was strong, and he had been consuming soul-nurturing pellets all the time to let his soul grow.
The stronger the soul was, the stronger the learning abilities would be. Lu Li could progress fast. He could comprehend many points at once and he was advancing by leaps and bounds.
Once started, Lu Li was completely absorbed. He realized that the study of Inhibition Formations was not boring and there was something in common between Inhibition Formations and Profound Meanings.
When warriors started cultivating, the beginning was to cultivate Xuan Energy and refine their bodies. Warriors had to absorb energy from heaven and earth to grow stronger. The Profound Meanings could enable warriors to leverage energy in heaven and earth and launch powerful strikes.
Inhibition Formations were not that different. The one thing that was not alike was—low-level Inhibition Formations which relied on special runes and items to exert force. The more advanced Inhibition Formations, it also had to borrow energy from heaven and earth to form powerful strikes and defense mechanisms or to enhance a warriors’ abilities in various ways…
At the end of the day, the cultivation and Inhibition Formations both had to rely on force in heaven and earth to generate special effects.
“This is quite amazing!”
Lu Li was thrilled. Learning Inhibition Formations for a year or so could possibly be beneficial to his study of the Map of Profound Meaning. He might be able to become an immortal at first try.
