Chapter 598: Ancient Formation

“Heaven Grade or Holy Grade!”
Everyone was inspired by the prospect. Ye Hu went to get some horns back. He took out a Heaven Grade weapon and cut it at the horn.
“Clank, clank~”
With a muffled sound, Ye Hu’s weapon bounced away from the force, leaving behind a trail of sparks on the horn. After it settled down, they inspected the horn careful and were amazed to see that no marks had left on the horn.
“Let me try!”
Lu Li took out his divine weapon of Dragon King and cut at a horn on the ground. After a noise, Lu Li felt he could no longer hold on to his weapon. They looked at the horn with increasing zest. Under the forceful impact of the divine weapon of Dragon King, only a mild dent appeared on the horn.
“Amazing!”
Even Lu Li couldn’t help but exclaim. The bony spur was as solid as it was sharp. Put a handle on it and it could be used as a Heaven Grade Xuan Artifact without having to be refined.
If it could be refined in the hands of master craftsmen and supplemented with other materials, some Holy Grade Xuan Artifact could be manufactured.
Heaven Grade Xuan Artifacts were valuable already. Average Eternal Realm warriors didn’t even have the chance to carry one. Holy Grade Xuan Artifacts were few and far between. Only disciples of major families could have it. Family Patriarchs of minor families or races couldn’t even have one.
If they could conquer the small world, they could make a fortune using only the bony spurs.
Pavilion of Delicacy had ceased their business with Lu Li. But Lu Ling had Clouds Plains now and they could trade with the Serenity Plains and Frost Plains. It was convenient to travel from the Clouds Plains to the Central Plains. Could the Samsara Palace seal off the Clouds Plains or stop all the major families to do business with Lu Li and Lu Ling?
As long as there were valuable artifacts and a profit to be pursued, many families would take the risk of offending the Samsara Palace to secretly trade with Lu Li and Lu Ling.
Lu Ling waved her hand and said, “Don’t get too happy now. We don’t have a clear understanding of the situation of the small world yet. Those things can be worked out in the future.”
“Whoosh~”
A man rushed out from the valley. It was Ye Cha. Lu Li asked, “How is it?”
“There are five or six thousand more of the Fire Leopards and it will take us at least a day to clean them. There are no more fire leopards coming from the other end of the valley now.”
Ye Cha stated the situation. Lu Ling nodded, recognizing Ye Cha’s abilities. The valley was full of strange creatures. The fact that Ye Cha could make his way through was a real prove that the Cyan Phoenix Race had the best scouts in the world.
Lu Li and Lu Ling were relieved to know that only a day was needed to beat all the fire leopards. With no more Fire Leopards coming, the entrance could be under control. As for the future, that could be sorted out after all the Fire Leopards were slayed.
“Fire Leopards?”
Lu Li accepted the name. He began to observe the fight. The Fire Leopards were quite powerful in their defense. If it weren’t Human Sovereign Realm warriors attacking at them, they could be very hard to be dealt with for Noble Lord Realm warriors.
“I will go and help them!”
God of Meng had recovered much after a short rest. He rushed toward the valley. Chee-kar and others followed suit as well. They were all from special races in the Deserted World and each had their unique means. If they could assist the Human Sovereign Realm warriors with their means, it would be the best.
Lu Li had thought about participating in the fight himself so that he could continue to learn the Soul Shattering skill. But it was a narrow valley and his presence would add to the concern of the Human Sovereign Realm warriors. Lu Li decided not to go this time.
Those weren’t fighting waited outside the valley. After six hours, Ke Mang finally finished his work. He was exhausted. He released some Xuan Energy. The ground outside the valley began to change, so did the view.
“Nice, really impressive!”
Lu Ling looked at it and was surprised by the sight. The others were stunned by what they saw as well. Lu Li took one look. He gave Ke Mang a thumb-up and said, “That is astonishing!”
It was a giant piece of flat land outside the valley. But everything had been changed. It had been transformed into a scary abyss. From where they were looking, they could not see the bottom of the abyss which was filled with red glow and an atmosphere of austere gloominess. What was more surprising was that—when they looked down, they all sensed a fatal danger.
To build illusions was not hard. But to build one that showed no signs of fluctuation of a formation and that could make people feel there was a real abyss was outstanding.
The most extraordinary part was the sense of fatal danger. The illusion could influence a warrior’s soul. That was amazing. Ke Mang was still young and he had already made greater achievements in building illusions than Ke Lv. Ke Mang deserved to be regarded as a rare talent for the Shadowland Race.
“God of Meng, let some Fire Leopards through and let’s see!”
Lu Li told others to step back to the opening of the valley. He wanted to see if the illusion could scare off the Fire Leopards. If it could, then the illusion would make great contributions. Also, this was a chance for them to see if the Fire Leopards were intelligent or not.
They went to the other side of the illusion, from where they could get an unobstructed view of the valley. They could take everything in the valley in and the illusion was built only for the creatures.
God of Meng let one or two Fire Leopards through on purpose. He even kicked one of them and it rolled to the edge of the illusionary abyss.
“Whoosh~”
The Fire Leopard got up with visible terror in its eyes. It glanced at the abyss and then went back the way it came. It was the same for the other two Fire Leopards. They saw the abyss from the distance and turned back, running toward God of Meng’s direction.
“That is very good!”
Lu Li and others saw clearly the fright in the Fire Leopards’ eyes. He was even more satisfied with Ke Mang’s illusion. Even if more Fire Leopards were to come from the other end, they could be sacred by the illusion. At least, the passage to the tunnel was safe.
“After all the Fire Leopards are slayed, Ke Mang, please go to the opening of the valley and build another illusion like this.”
Lu Li said. If the other end of the valley had a same formation like this, then the place could be used as a base camp. They could expand the base camp gradually and then take over the entire world.
The world was big. There must be plenty treasured materials, endless resources. How many warriors could benefit from this? Also, this could be used as an alternative for retreat. The world was connected to the Deserted World. In 10 years, if the four forces proved to be undefeatable, then Lu Li could retreat to the Deserted World and destroy the passage. With the resources from the new world and the Deserted World, it was more than enough for them to live a comfortable life.
Ke Mang was in deep thoughts. After a while, he shook his head and said, “This illusionary formation is not suitable for the other end. Let me go back and get some materials ready. I will work with my grandpa and build an ancient divine formation. If we can make it work, not even Human Sovereign Realm warriors can see it through. We will be much safer here.”
“Okay!”
Lu Li gave his consent, “Go ahead. Tell me if you need anything and I will try to get them for you. If you can make it, I will reward you heavily.”
“I am grateful, Saint Lord!”
Ke Mang was overjoyed and left right away. The small world must have more than enough treasured materials. If he could make a great contribution, the Shadowland Race would get a large share of the Mystical Materials, enough for the race to rise and soar quickly.
