Every one of the dozen patriarchs was renowned. The Great Land would shake when they stomp their feet on the ground. However, at that moment, they were cold, dead bodies, falling in front of everyone…
Many of those patriarchs were veterans, elders, and seniors from their respective families. The death of even one would be a massive loss for the human race, let alone more than a dozen.
Heartless!
When people looked at the young man in a cyan robe in the sky, they shivered. Lu Li was as ruthless and cold-blooded as the legends had said.
Of course, this was to the immense satisfaction to some. Lu Li did not cause any trouble for the Demon-slaying Hall. As a matter of fact, he was trying to help the Demon-slaying Hall in coping with the four alien races. For those that colluded with Ji Zhantian to plot against Lu Li, it served them right for being killed.
The twenty or so Patriarchs that were stopped by Patriarch of Law Enforcement were grateful. If they had rushed into action, they would have become cold, dead bodies right now, just like Li Shang.
“Ah—”
Ji Zhantian was still crying and weeping, turning over and over. But Lu Li did not let go of Little White yet because he was scared that Ji Zhantian might be pretending. Strong as Little White was, it would not be able to stand the Originator Artifact.
Feather Wind was still gathering per Lu Li’s command. Silver dragons surrounded Ji Zhantian. At the same time, the Wicked Bead started to glow. Uncle Nine of the Jun Family was sent out. “Remote attack!” Lu Li ordered.
“Yes!”
Uncle Nine of the Jun Family took out a bow and discharged many arrows. The streaks of white light swarmed over, all targeting at Ji Zhantian’s most vulnerable parts.
“Hmm~”
It was then when Ji Zhantian suddenly came to his senses. He used the Originator Artifact to cut up the white arrows. Lu Li felt grateful that he did not let Little White go or else it would face grim possibilities.
“Keep going!”
Lu Li ordered Uncle Nine of the Jun Family while he gathered more Feather Wind. Those Feather Wind formed layers and layers around Ji Zhantian so that he could not escape.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
Ji Zhantian tried hard to defend himself against the constant attacks from Uncle Nine of the Jun Family. However, his soul was still being hurt and the situation was growing worse. There was little time he had.
“Bang~”
An arrow hit him. Even though he was wearing a Quasi Relic armor, blood still rushed to his throat. He looked at Lu Li. The murderous intent in Lu Li’s eyes made Ji Zhantian realized that he could not waste more time.
Running away was no longer an option!
Begging, well, Lu Li was not the kind of person that would show him mercy.
Then, there was one way left for him. As the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, he had the right to know a secret, a secret that only Grand Masters could have access to.
“Lu Li, you have ganged up with alien races and you have slaughtered your own people. You have committed heinous crimes. I will have to ask the Emperor of Heaven Reverse to punish you.”
Ji Zhantian shouted. He took out a jade talisman, crushed it and poured Xuan Energy directly into the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse.
“Buzzing~”
The statue was lit up. From the book rose a ray of glaring light. The scripts in the book floated up from the book and danced around in the sky. Some energy that was both strong and strange imbued the entire Demon-slaying City.
“What…”
This took all by surprise. Most people dropped to one knee and saluted the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse. More were wondering in shock if Emperor of Heaven Reverse could really come down from the Divinity. Why else would Ji Zhantian say he would invite Emperor of Heaven Reverse here?
“Oh, no!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was frightened. Apart from the Grand Master, of the entire Demon-slaying Hall, only he knew that—throughout the history, Grand Masters had the ability to communicate with Emperor of Heaven Reverse. Of course, turning to him was forbidden unless it was a matter of survival or destruction of the human race. Otherwise, Emperor of Heaven Reverse would kill this particular Grand Master in a fit of wrath.
What was more, it was not Emperor of Heaven Reverse himself that would come down to the mortal world, but a piece of his avatar. Even so, on the off chance that a piece of his avatar came to the mortal world, Lu Li did not stand a chance.
Since it was the Grand Master that would invite the avatar of Emperor of Heaven Reverse, it would listen to the Grand Master naturally. After all, Grand Master was the one with legitimate status.
Lu Li was surprised that Ji Zhantian had the ability to communicate with the Emperor of Heaven Reverse. That being said, Lu Li continued his actions. He gathered more silver dragons while Uncle Nine of the Jun Family went on attacking Ji Zhantian.
“Buzzing~”
The sacred book was glowing brighter and brighter was that sense of power grew stronger. The script on the sacred book was dancing around in the air. After a while, they formed a special pattern which eventually evolved into a pair of eyes.
“The eyes…”
Countless people shook with fear when they saw the pair of eyes that were made of the script in the book. Immediately, people dropped to their knees and then on all fours.
“Emperor!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement glanced at the pair of eyes. It struck awe in him as well. He knelt down in midair. As of now, on the ground, warriors were on their knees and in the sky, patriarchs had knelt before the eyes, too.
“Eh?”
Lu Li raised his head to look. When he gazed into this pair of eyes, his mind and soul were shivering. What a pair of eyes!
At this moment, when people looked into this pair of eyes, they felt they were small kids seeing into the eyes of a huge lion.
Cruel, ferocious, powerful, cold, and completely detached!
That was what Lu Li felt about this pair of eyes. The eyes came out from illusions and yet they gave him a sense of powerlessness. He believed that even a thought from the person who those eyes belonged to could tear him into pieces.
Emperor of Heaven Reverse, a supreme warrior from the Divinity!
Today, Lu Li finally had a taste of the powers of a true immortal. Merely an avatar could make all the powerful warriors of the Heaven Reverse Universe feel like puny ants. That was the power of an immortal. There was nothing they could not do, and their powers were nerve-wracking.
Lu Li stopped Feather Wind and dropped to one knee. So did Uncle Nine of the Jun Family. Standing before such a supreme warrior, all must lower their proud head. Standing before such a powerful warrior, all must show respect.
Without Lu Li’s control, the silver dragons froze in the sky and so did the Feather Wind. Ji Zhantian was no longer under soul attack. He breathed in relief. Then, opening his eyes, he got down to one knee and said, “I, Ji Zhantian, Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, is asking an audience with the Emperor of Heaven Reverse. Even death cannot atone for the fact that I have disturbed you, your majesty.”
“Eh?”
Outside the city, the Asmodian Lord who was observing the situation, felt coldness spreading to his four limbs after he saw the eyes of the Emperor of Heaven Reverse. The Asmodian Lord waved the four alien races to step back while he himself vanished into thin air to hide.
It was silent in the city. Nobody dared to make a sound and nobody dared to look into the eyes. They waited for the Emperor of Heaven Reverse to reply.
“What is the matter?”
After the time for one incense stick to burn, there finally came an old but powerful voice in the city. People could not tell where the source of that voice was but it sounded next to their ears, loud and clear.
Ji Zhantian was evidently delighted. He looked up to the eyes, bowed again before he answered, “Your majesty, the four alien races are coming and they have brought down three cities of ours. I am here with our warriors to fight. It took us great effort but we finally struck a deal with the Asmodian Lord. We will trade the Wicked Bead for the withdrawal of the four alien races. This particular human warrior, Lu Li, has no regard for the greater good of the human race. Not only had he fought people of his kind, but he also murdered patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall. He even has the intention to end my life… Your majesty, I am sorry but we are not a match for the Asmodian Lord. We have no other choice but to ask you to do us a favor. Please help us punish this traitor of the human races so that we can survive the crisis.”
When Ji Zhantian finished his words, Patriarch of Law Enforcement was burning with rage. However, with the avatar of Emperor of Heaven Reverse here, nobody could say anything right now. He could kill anyone that displeased him with merely a thought.
