Lu Li had witnessed Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s ninth rank Profound Meaning, which was impressive. But it was nothing different from the ones used by other Semi-God Realm warriors. Hence, Lu Li could tell that Patriarch of Law Enforcement would not be able to disperse the cyan airstream.
Even if someone of them had to risk their lives, it should be Lu Li for he had another card in his hand—blood of the Slayer!
Upon consuming the blood of the Slayer, Lu Li’s abilities would see a notable increase. More importantly… when the Slayer’s blood was consumed, there was a great chance that Lu Li could use the Slayer’s move again.
That move was threatening and it could destroy an avatar of the God of Wings. Lu Li was confident that when he used that move, he could disperse the cyan airstream and then kill Master of Silver Dragon, Ghost Face Spider, and Fairy Fox.
That being said…
This was the last drop of the Slayer’s blood. He wanted to use it when it came to critical junctions. For instance, when warriors of the nine universes came and he could not compete with his enemies. In such situations, the Slayer’s blood could turn the table.
Therefore, Lu Li believed that this was not the time for taking risks. They still had some time. Given the strength of Master of Silver Dragon and the other’s attacks, to crack the Wicked Bead would take them over 10 years.
Lu Li thought for a moment. Then, he decided to cultivate to reach the Earth Immortal Realm. In the meantime, he would study the line diagram and… the Slayer’s move!
The priority was the Slayer’s move. If he could learn it, his attacks would be enhanced. To disperse the cyan airstream and kill Master of Silver Dragon would be a piece of cake.
Another thing to consider was!
To disperse (if he could)—the cyan airstream at the moment had little meaning because the three entrances to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos were located in the territories of the three major species. To escape to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos, Lu Li would have to kill Master of Silver Dragon eventually. He did not wish to waste the precious blood of the Slayer. Cultivation was the only option!
Patriarch of Law Enforcement went back to cultivation since Lu Li had made up his mind. Ke Mang started as well. Ke Mang was not trying to improve his realm but to study ancient Inhibition Formations.
The Shadowland Race rarely had any powerful warriors. Ke Mang knew very well that their race’s advantage was about Inhibition Formations, without which the Shadowland Race would not enjoy the current glory and would have been wiped out. Striving for better realms was placing the unimportant, before the important.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
The masters’ attacks continued. Other Beast Gods joined because the Wicked Bead had stopped moving.
Master of Haechi was not expanding the area of influence of the cyan airstream. He just replenished the airstream at a given interval. If the area of influence was too extended, it would disturb the other beasts’ attacks.
Things had returned to what happened at the valley where the Wicked Bead remained unmoved, while the beasts tried everything to strike the Wicked Bead.
One thing was different, though. With the presence of cyan airstream, the strength of attacks of the Beast Gods was weakened. There was nothing that could be done. Without the cyan airstream, the Wicked Bead would fly away. None of the beasts could catch up with the Wicked Bead.
Ten days later, Master of Silver Dragon stopped. During the 10 days, the Wicked Bead reacted in the same way as always. For each blow, the Wicked Bead would only give out a glare. There was zero indication that the Wicked Bead was going to be cracked.
Master of Silver Dragon, Ghost Face Spider, and Fairy Fox were honorable. They felt shameful to be observed by the million beasts on the ground and were bored at the same time. Hence, they thought they might just as well stop. They nestled in the mountains while the Beast Kings and Beast Gods continued the effort.
With the Master of Silver Dragon here in person, the Beast Kings and Beast Gods dared not to loaf on the job. They attacked on and on continuously, and would only rest when exhausted.
Time flew by fast!
One month had passed. The Wicked Bead remained the same. Master of Silver Dragon and the other masters were cultivating quite comfortably. But the Beast Kings and Beast Gods were bored. Yet, nobody dared to voice any disagreement.
A million beasts had left because the average beasts could not offer any help, while the others stayed to enjoy the show.
Three months went by!
The attack from the Beast Kings and Beast Gods had become clearly less vicious. They had been working for three months on end. If it were not for the fact that Master of Silver Dragon and the other masters were staying in command here, the Beast Kings and Beast Gods would have left…
It had been five months!
Even in the presence of Master of Silver Dragon, the Beast Kings and Beast Gods had become weak. Some of them would have gone if not for the promise of Master of Silver Dragon made; that anyone cracking the Wicked Bead could go to the Pond of Dragons.
Eight months later…
The Beast Kings and Beast Gods began to take turns. Master of Haechi had already stopped supplying cyan airstream in person. Instead, he had Beast Gods of his species to do this work.
The Beast Kings and Beast Gods were divided into two teams and each would work for 10 days. Those that were attacking acted as if they were merely performing a forced duty. They were slow, and their actions were weak.
Today!
Lu Li suddenly opened his eyes. His spirit was greatly strengthened and his eyes were deep as the ocean. There was something unspeakable about him.
“Earth Immortal Realm!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement opened his eyes suddenly in astonishment. Previously, Lu Li was at the peak of the Human Sovereign Realm. Patriarch of Law Enforcement suspected that Lu Li was aiming to reach the Earth Immortal Realm.
But Patriarch of Law Enforcement did not expect that Lu Li could reach the Earth Immortal Realm in merely eight months.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement thought to himself how extraordinary Lu Li was to reach the Earth Immortal Realm at such an age. He was merely 25 years old.
When Lu Renhuang reached the Human Sovereign Realm at the age of 20, he was deemed as a talent rarely seen in ten thousand years. But Lu Li had reached the Earth Immortal Realm at the age of 25. He had proven to be more talented than Lu Renhuang.
Of course…
There were others more talented than Lu Li, for instance; Jiang Qiling, or Emperor of Heaven Reverse and the other chosen warriors in history.
Jiang Qiling had reached the Earth Immortal Realm several years ago. That being said, her story was a bit different given that she had been given the legacy of Emperor of Heaven Reverse.
In her soul was a spiritual imprint passed on by Emperor of Heaven Reverse. She could follow the spiritual imprint and learn powerful Profound Meaning, thus making many achievements.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement did not know that the reason for Lu Li to cultivate so quickly was that he had a legacy from Emperor Heng. Lu Li learned the line diagram from the Feather Wind created and left behind by Emperor Heng. From the line diagram, Lu Li had picked up several Profound Meanings, which facilitated his cultivation rate.
Earth Immortals!
That was a state that surpassed a mortal being. Human Sovereigns were still humans, but Earth Immortals were leaning closer to actual immortals.
Warriors could change to fight the natural order and change their fate. Lu Li had commenced on the path of fighting the natural order.
“Alas…”
But, Lu Li was not entirely pleased to reach the Earth Immortal Realm because the study of the Slayer’s move during this time had yielded nothing.
He learned another diagram and obtained a new Profound Meaning of wind which, as far as he could tell, was also of little value.
Wind Trail!
The fourth Profound Meaning derived from the line diagram was one that could increase Lu Li’s speed. He was fast, to begin with. With this new Profound Meaning of wind, his speed could be accelerated again…
However, the Wicked Bead could travel as fast as Semi-God Realm warriors. Even with “Wind Trail”, Lu Li would be slower than the Wicked Bead. For as long as they were trapped here, the Profound Meaning could offer them little help.
“Wicked Bead, all I’ve got is you!”
Lu Li’s last hope was the Wicked Bead because… now that he had reached the Earth Immortal Realm, he should be able to dissolve the third layer of the seal.
The Wicked Bead had six layers of seals. When the first two were lifted, Lu Li was pleasantly surprised. What would the Wicked Bead give him this time?
He was looking forward to finding out!
