All the Stone Golems had been destroyed, but the immortal’s body was unharmed though he was surrounded by God Biters. Blood Fairy did not control the immortal’s body to withdraw because she was still collecting information. At the moment, the immortal’s body could still withdraw if needed. However, when they were into the depth of the mountain, once things went south, Lu Li, the Deaf Taoist, and the immortal’s body would all been doomed since there would be no escape.
The test went on for an hour. Afterward, the immortal’s body stepped back slowly. Lu Li sent out more Stone Golems to distract the God Biters so that immortal’s body could shake the God Biters off from his body.
“I think it will be okay!”
Blood Fairy said, “I have been keeping an eye out on the immortal’s body. I am sure that the God Biters cannot break down his defense.”
“Alright!”
Lu Li’s confidence was boosted. He put away the immortal’s body and then flew the Wicked Bead back quickly. Making sure no more God Biters were after them, Lu Li began to make Stone Golems.
Hundreds of Stone Golems came into being, but Lu Li did not send them out. He let out the immortal’s body who grabbed the Wicked Bead in one hand. The immortal’s body’s hand was large enough to cover up the entire Wicked Bead so that it would not be hurt by the God Biters.
“Let’s go!”
Lu Li ordered. Instantly, the immortal’s body dashed on as quickly as a flash of lightning. As soon as he arrived at the path, the God Biters swarmed out from both sides. Nonetheless, the immortal’s body pressed forward and smashed the God Biters out of his way.
“Go, go, go!”
Lu Li yelled. He was more than nervous. His psychic power was target-fixed on the immortal’s body at all times for fear that things might go wrong.
This was not a laughing matter. The number of God Biters was beyond calculation, and the crowd had no end in sight. Once the immortal’s body could not stand it, then Lu Li would be doomed.
The immortal’s body sped up to the extreme and rushed along the mountain path which alerted more God Biters. The dense mass of God Biters was quite disturbing.
Lu Li could sense there were dead God Biters along the way. Those must have been killed by disciples of the three major sects. The immortal’s body had covered several miles and that entire path was covered with dead God Biters. Lu Li was taken aback by what he saw. He wondered how the disciples of the three major sects made their way up.
Lu Li could paint the picture in his mind. Over one hundred people were advancing on the mountain path, surrounded by God Biters. One mistake and they could be devoured by the God Biters. Nothing would be left of them, not even their remains…
“Whoosh!”
The immortal’s body was like a war machine, dashing around. He could smash away all the God Biters coming his way. Nothing could stop the immortal’s body as he charged toward the peak.
“Faster, faster, faster!”
Lu Li’s heart was in his mouth. He was even afraid to breathe loudly. His psychic power followed the immortal’s body step by step up the mountain path.
It had been the time for five breaths, 10 breaths, 15 breaths!
In such a short period of time, the immortal’s body was about to reach the mountain top. Given his speed, he had spent much time already. If it were not for the fact that the path was meandering up the mountain, the immortal’s body would have reached the peak a while earlier.
Lu Li felt he had experienced over a decade. Finally, the immortal’s body crossed the entire mountain path and stood on the peak. The God Biters vanished into the stone cracks on the sides. Lu Li collapsed in the Wicked Bead, breathing heavily.
There was a portal at the peak, glowing gently. Lu Li felt so glad to see the portal.
It was not an easy level to pass.
Lu Li sat in the Wicked Bead for a while. He did not dash into the portal rashly. Instead, he had the immortal’s body take the Wicked Bead and walk toward the portal.
“Buzzing~”
Amid a flash, the immortal’s body appeared in a strange world. Lu Li used psychic power to check. Everything was in a haze and psychic power was hindered, limited to an area with a radius of one thousand feet.
“What…”
When Lu Li checked the ground under his feet, he realized it was not dirt or stones nor water, and it was a complete chaotic mess under the immortal’s body’s feet as well.
The entire world, the entire space was in a haze. Nothing felt real. Everything was between real and unreal.
Formations of illusion!
What Lu Li was most dreadful of had come. All the perilous places had such formations of illusion. It was the same thing in the Tomb of the Dragon King and the Forbidden Ground of the Elder God. The formation of illusion in this place in the Tomb of King Luna was obviously more terrifying. Not even the ground could be seen in there…
“Buzzing~”
Lu Li dashed out from the Wicked Bead and put away the immortal’s body. Here, he did not have any sense of danger. Also, with the Cloaking Armor, he shouldn’t be afraid of any common attacks.
In a confused state, he bent over and tried to touch the mass under his feet. He felt something cold and stiff. He took out his saber and hacked on the ground. Sparkles spilled out, and the saber was bounced off.
He looked down. Still, he could not see anything clearly. He stood up and looked around. Everything was in chaos. He even felt a bit dizzy for not being able to tell the directions, or whether he was in reality or an illusion…
“Let’s take a look.”
A moment later, Lu Li decided not to look for long for fear that he could really become light-headed. Everything he could see was in a haze. This feeling was quite disturbing and agitating.
He closed his eyes and walked forward. He could tell that the ground was flat, even more so than a lake. He kept walking straight forward. Nothing was changing apart from the everlasting chaos…
“Impressive!”
Lu Li could not help but exclaim. This formation of illusion was strong. He had no idea how to solve it. People could be driven crazy in here.
“I wonder where Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess are.”
Lu Li was curious. He could tell that this was a difficult level. Therefore, disciples from the three major sects should still be in here.
“Let’s go and find out!”
The Cloaking Armor glowed, and Lu Li vanished into thin air. He dashed forward like a sly fox. He did not care about which way he was going. He just chose paths randomly wherever he wanted.
After the time for an incense stick to burn, he realized everything had been the same. The ground was smooth and flat. It was as if he were in a boundless world.
“Faster!”
Lu Li sped up and ran like a madman. This level should have no other dangers than the formation of illusion, which was the most horrifying point. If he could not solve the formation, he would have to stay here for a thousand years.
What Lu Li wanted to do now was to find those from the three major sects. At the very least, he would not be lonely with people around. They could find a way out together.
He believed that as the most talented disciples in the Palace of Snow Mountain and Pavilion of Misty Drizzle, Holy Princess and Lou Shi’er must have their special methods. They might be able to solve the formation of illusion.
“Whoosh~”
Lu Li kept his eyes closed. He would change course every now and then. Still, he just walked around at will.
It had been the time for one incense stick to burn and two. An hour had passed!
Lu Li’s mind was weighed down. It was true that he was not particularly fast, but he could cover a long distance in an hour. Yet within this hour, he saw nothing, not even a corpse.
“The formation of illusion here has similar effects with the ones built by Ke Mang!”
Lu Li arrived at this conclusion. He would come back to the starting point no matter which way he went.
In other words, no matter what he did, he would just keep going in circles or else it was not possible that he couldn’t see one single soul…
After a while, Lu Li curled his lips and squeezed some words out of his mouth, “Now, isn’t this delightful?”
