What Zi Ji learned was for ten thousand years ago. Even though she did come back once, she was discovered before she could collect much information and returned to the Underworld Realm at once. Therefore, about the changes in the Paleo-beast Realm over the past ten thousand years; she did not know, which was understandable.
Even though the seven major species had changed, it did not matter to Lu Li. He asked, “Are there any Mythical Creature-to-be?”
That was a notion that Zi Ji mentioned, equivalent to human’s Semi-God Realm. Lu Li would not be afraid of the Beast Gods in the Paleo-beast Realm because the Dragon Demon was as strong as a Semi-God Realm warrior. Patriarch of Law Enforcement was at this realm and Lu Li himself was not weak. The average Beast Gods would not be able to hurt them.
“Mythical Creature-to-be?”
Yu the Horns answered with uncertainty, “I am at a stage high enough to know that. I am not sure. But… I heard that the Silver Dragon Master reached the stage years ago. A thousand years ago, the Spider Master challenged the Silver Dragon Master. The latter defeated the former easily. It was said among the races that the Silver Dragon Master has made the final step, and possibly the Spider Master. One thousand years ago, the Spider Master was at the peak of Beast God and after this time, many speculated that the Spider Master has made the breakthrough.”
“So, two Mythical Creature-to-be.”
Lu Li had to prepare for the worst. Beasts were born to the stronger than humans. If the Silver Dragon Master and the Spider Master had made the breakthrough, they should be as strong as a human warrior of the middle stage of the Semi-God Realm.
Lu Li asked further questions. He woke up the other Beast Kings to make sure.
Eventually, he gained some knowledge of the paleo-beasts and of the strange skills each species had.
He dashed out to tell Patriarch of Law Enforcement about what he had learned. Patriarch of Law Enforcement had a better understanding now.
Regardless of the fact if they could find out more information, they must hurry to the territory of the Nine-clawed Silver Dragon. Only after obtaining Nine-clawed Silver Dragon’s Origin Blood Essence could they find a way back.
They were no longer tailed by that kind of bat. Patriarch of Law Enforcement pressed on, and Lu Li went back into the Wicked Bead to continue learning more about the Paleo-beast Realm.
He wanted to know every strange skill of the species to know his enemies so that he would not lose his bearings when he encountered them.
The more he learned, the more shocked he was. Tens of thousands of species lived in the Paleo-beast Realm. Those were the ones that had names. There were countless weak ones.
Of the tens of thousands, they were equipped with different skills. At least thousands of species had Beast Kings, and hundreds had Beast Gods. What Zi Ji knew was not exact. At the Paleo-beast Realm, there should be at least a thousand Beast Gods.
“Bang!”
While Lu Li was asking for information, he felt the Wicked Bead trembling. He checked with psychic power at once. Patriarch of Law Enforcement said, “Lu Li, something is up.”
“Buzzing!”
Lu Li went out at once and checked with psychic power. He noticed something off with the views in the area.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was at a basin with towering mountains reaching for the sky on four sides. Those mountains seemed surreal—only dimly discernible on account of the thick, white haze.
“Ke Mang!”
Lu Li let Ke Mang out and said, “Take a look around. See if there is a problem!”
“What…”
Ke Mang looked with his naked eyes without resorting to psychic power. Soon, he said, “There is an Inhibition Formation here and it is formed naturally. Leave right away. I can feel the presence of a strong Inhibition Formation.”
“Let’s go!”
Ke Mang was a master in formations and he had Lu Li’s complete trust. Without hesitation, Lu Li took Ke Mang and Patriarch of Law Enforcement out from the path they went in from, trying to leave this strange place.
However…
Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement were shocked—they flew back for dozens of miles, but those towering mountains were still in the distance around them. They seemed to be going in circles.
“It’s a natural formation!”
Ke Mang grew anxious. He used psychic power to check around and said, “We have entered a natural formation and it has been activated. If we cannot crack it, we will not be able to leave.”
“How is that possible?”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was shocked. As far as he could tell, it was an empty land with many openings among the mountains. Couldn’t they just fly out?
He was not convinced and flew up toward the two towering peaks in the distance. He was gone for dozens of miles, yet he still felt the mountains were far away and he was going in circles.
“Eh?”
He used psychic power to check and found Lu Li down on the ground. How could Lu Li and Ke Mang be here if he had crossed dozens of miles?
He flew down and asked, “You have been staying here all this time?”
“You are right!”
Lu Li forced a smile, “Great-grandpa, you are going around in circles. Didn’t you feel it?”
“No. I thought I was going on a straight line!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was stunned. It was the first time that he had seen such an extraordinary formation. He had to ponder about it for a while. Then, he asked Ke Mang, “Can’t we just blast our way out?”
“If the formation can be cracked that easily, it wouldn’t be a marvelous natural formation.”
Ke Mang smiled a bitter smile. A dark yellow glow rose in his eyes. He began to take a closer look at the views around. Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Lu Li did not understand formations, so that had to wait for Ke Mang.
Time moved on. After an hour, Ke Mang finally opened his eyes. He sighed, “Saint Lord, Patriarch of Law Enforcement. I am sorry but I have to disappoint you this time. This formation is formed naturally and it is one of a kind. The paleo-beasts that understand Inhibition Formations have strengthened it. Therefore, I cannot crack it, at least… not now unless I can have a few years to study it!”
“A few years?”
Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement were desperate. Several years, the warriors from the nine universes would come to the Heaven Reverse Universe. In addition, would the Paleo-beast Realm give them a few years’ time? The seven major species might be swarming over any time soon.
“Dragon Demon!”
Between Lu Li’s eyebrows came out light. A shadow gradually grew to be the Dragon Demon. Lu Li ordered. “Do you see that mountain? Bring it to ruins!”
The Dragon Demon had a low intelligence and would follow Lu Li’s orders strictly. Maybe, the Dragon Demon would not be affected by the formation. When the Dragon Demon destroyed a mountain, the formation should be cracked.
The fact was!
It was only Lu Li’s wishful thinking. The Dragon Demon galloped on, but it… came back after three miles.
“That is weird!”
Lu Li was speechless. This natural formation could affect the Dragon Demon which had a low intelligence. Needless to say, it was impossible that they could walk out.
“Wicked Bead!”
The only hope for Lu Li was the Wicked Bead, a Relic. He let the Wicked Bead fly in a straight line. If the Wicked Bead was also going in circles, then they would not be able to leave.
