The blood moon rode high in the sky. The red hue flooded every corner of the land. The wind was piercingly cold while bringing desolation to the land.
Outside the ancient city that was the Heaven Blood City, were crowded by alien races. Tall and strong Barbarians created a smothering sense. Their savage faces were nerve-racking and their brutal behaviors were soul shattering. With a whooshing sound, the huge hammer landed on the shield continuously. But people felt their hearts were under the blow.
Countless arrows were flying around as the sky was dominated by the Feather Race. They had beautiful appearances. However, under the blood moon, they were terrifying rather than charming. They were like ghosts that had crawled up from the underworld, as they require souls from every warrior in the city.
The Voodoo Race were hiding in a toxic haze and the Asmodians were half concealed. The latter’s blood red eyes were exposed, making them like monsters from hell, which was very upsetting.
On the city wall, in the castles, and in midair were human warriors all over. They looked at those alien races through the shield solemnly. At the moment, they felt like they were some mole crickets and ants trapped in a battle, while those outside were bandits. Many human warriors had become flurried and some even had given up all hope. The sense of depression was spreading across the city. It was contagious, affecting more and more. The morale rating kept on dropping…
It was the dread of the night, but nobody dared to sleep a sound sleep. The Patriarch of Law Enforcement did claim that the shield could last for half a month. But what if it was cracked? Once that happened, those asleep would be torn apart immediately.
At midnight, Ye Cha finally came back. There were secret Teleportation Formations in the city to send people out. Those formations were small and did not have a large capacity. But they could come in handy for scouts.
Like a phantom, Ye Cha sneaked to Lu Li and whispered his findings, “Saint Lord, I have probed the surrounding areas. The four alien races are attacking at the Heaven Blood City and Earth Blood City at the same time. On each side, there is a deployment of two to three millions, and dozens are at the Earth Immortal Realm. None of their masters, or kings, has shown up. The Asmodian Lord has not presented himself, either. Of course… it is possible that he was hidden well and I could not find him.”
“Alright. Thank you for your effort. Now go and have some rest.”
Lu Li was ready to fight. The Asmodian Lord who had just made the breakthrough sure would not be able to crack the Wicked Bead when it could survive the constant attack of dozens of Semi-God Realm warriors.
The Wicked Bead’s energy had resorted to fifty percent and the energy level had been growing during this time, which boosted Lu Li’s confidence. He told Patriarch of Law Enforcement that he would go out on his own. The latter shook his head in dismissal and replied, “Let me go with you. I can buy you some time if anything happens.”
Lu Renhuang was also concerned, “Lu Li, I need to go as well. I am strong and the Asmodian Lord will not be able to kill me sooner.”
One more person was more worried which was Jiang Qiling. Lu Li stopped her before she proposed to go. After some thought, Lu Li said, “Patriarch of Law Enforcement, you stay here and take command. I will go with my father. I will bring five Earth Immortal Realm warriors and that will be enough. What is more… the Asmodian Lord is not capable enough to crack my bead. He can do it for a year and will still not succeed.”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement nodded and gave Patriarch Lei a signal. Lu Li patted Jiang Qiling’s shoulder to comfort her. Then, Patriarch Lei brought Lu Renhuang, Lu Li and five of his Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves went to a hall where some secret Teleportation Formations were hidden.
“Whoosh~”
Instead of taking some rest, seeing Lu Li was on his way out, Ye Cha came over and said, “Saint Lord, let me wait for you at the portal when you are out there.”
“Sure!”
Lu Li nodded and then put Lu Renhuang and the five Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves into the Wicked Bead. Together with Ye Cha, he stepped into the Teleportation Formation.
“This is a map of the maze in the passageway outside. You can follow the map on your way back.” Patriarch Lei handed a map to Lu Li and the latter put it away into his Interspatial Ring.
“Buzzing~”
The Teleportation Formation glared. Since it was built in an underground room, people outside could not sense the formation working. In addition, given that the teleportation was for short distance, there was not much fluctuation in the space.
Lu Li and Ye Cha found themselves in an underground cave. As soon as they came out from the formation, Lu Li entered the Wicked Bead and begun to check the surroundings with psychic power.
The cave was quiet and on the walls were some ripples from Inhibition Formations. It was obvious that an advanced formation was built here, or else the four alien races would have spotted the location a long time ago.
“Whoosh~”
Like a spirit, Ye Cha flew out and then soon returned inside. He nodded and said, “Nothing unusual.”
“Ye Cha, you wait here. Go back to the city if anything goes wrong. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Lu Li flew the Wicked Bead out slowly. He found that there were illusion formations built along the passageway, but those formations would not affect the way out.
In the time for half an incense stick to burn, Lu Li flew out the passageway and up from a trench in the mountains. Instead of flying high to the sky, Lu Li modestly wandered around the area.
The mountains were stiff and the place was desolate. Toxic haze was everywhere. There were some alien race scouts nearby but they were all killed by Lu Li’s Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves.
“Let’s go~”
Lu Li took a reading of the bearings and then flew toward the Heaven Blood City. He was not far from the city, merely dozens of miles away. In a short while, he could already see countless alien races.
Even though Lu Li had fifty Walking Puppets, he did not want to waste them. Those Mystical Materials used in making Walking Puppets were very valuable. Besides, those Earth Immortal Realm warriors of the four alien races could be able to destroy the Walking Puppets.
“Buzzing~”
Lu Li sprang to action without further ado. He resorted to the simplest and also the most violent way. The Wicked Bead glowed, as it grew to the size of a meter rock with a diameter of one thousand feet. The cyan hue over the bead gave it a glare, which got the attention from many alien warrior races in an instant.
“Whoosh~”
A team of scouts of the Feather Race came over, attempting to find out what this thing was. Some of them shot some arrows toward the Wicked Bead.
“Whoosh~”
The hovering Wicked Bead suddenly moved. In a blur, the Wicked Bead dashed toward the team of Feather Race scouts. The speed of it was ghastly. There was no chance that those average warriors could have dodged it.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
Under the impact of the Wicked Bead, more than a dozen Feather Race warriors were pounded before they could even release a painful cry. The Wicked Bead continued its way to the densest crowds, maintaining its previous speed.
“What is that?”
“Oh the almighty Asmodian Lord, what have I seen?”
“Go away, now!”
“Woo, woo~”
Among the four alien races, the majority of them were scared out of their wits when they saw a huge cyan-colored ball flying over from behind them. They did not know what that was, but they sensed a fatal danger. All at once, they began to shout in their own languages.
“Whoosh~”
Countless warriors tried to flee, but they were too slow. It was already too late from the moment when they saw the Wicked Bead.
“Bang~”
One body after another burst opened. The Wicked Bead crushed through the crowds like a machine of war. All the enemies were grounded, as soon as they came in contact with the Wicked Bead. The Wicked Bead desolated an empty space in the flock…
“What is that thing? Report to the Asmodian Lord!”
An elder warrior of the Asmodians shouted instantly. The Wicked Bead flew by with ease and everytime, more than a thousand would either be killed or wounded, including a Human Sovereign Realm warrior of the Feather Race.
In his red eyes, there was a light. Looking at the Wicked Bead, he was seized with the desire to get it rather than cowering in fear.
The bead must be valuable, as only their great Asmodian Lord… could deserve such a thing!
