Time flies…
Those in cultivation often lose track of time. Lu Li would stop every half a month to take some pellets to keep himself refreshed.
Actually, after the Noble Lord Realm, warriors could spend years without drinking or dining because they could absorb the energy in heaven and earth in cultivation just to refuel.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Lu Li, and Ke Mang had some solid food in their Interspatial Rings. But with solid food, there would be residues which would force them to go to bathrooms. How could they, when they were trapped in the Wicked Bead? Therefore, they had to take nutrient pellets to recharge.
Cultivating in the inner hall of the Wicked Bead was fast. The Xuan Energy cultivated was completely poured into the Wicked Bead by Lu Li to expedite the dissolving of the seal.
Lu Li gave up on the Slayer’s move after half a year.
He could not comprehend it at all, whether it was because the move was too complicated, or the realm Lu Li was at was not high enough. He was not even a little bit touched.
Lu Li was not a stubborn man. He would not put all his eggs in one basket. So, he steered away from the Slayer’s move to the line diagram which had 12 diagrams in total, four of which were learned. Lu Li had eight more to learn. With those, he could cultivate to the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm.
He studied the line diagram very quickly. He could learn three components in one month. The next few months went by smoothly in cultivation. It had been four months and he had finished 11 components.
Today, he stopped cultivation.
He was not tired, but the third seal of the Wicked Bead was dissolved!
Lu Li thought he had to spend a year. Now, he was a bit ahead of schedule and finished in 11 months. The reason was that he poured all the Xuan Energy he cultivated into the Wicked Bead.
He waited in hope. His eyes were beaming in vigor. A moment later, some information was found in his mind. Since he had taken control of the Wicked Bead, a spiritual connection was established. He would be informed when a new function emerged.
“Okay!”
He went through the information. His soul was trembling. The Wicked Bead did not let him down.
As the third seal dissolved, the Wicked Bead had a new function—Leap.
This new function was not the only enhancement. The Wicked Bead’s speed and strength were elevated as well, especially the second one which Lu Li could feel clearly. The attack was still going on, but the consumption of energy had weakened—by a large margin no less.
“That is strange.”
Lu Li felt a bit puzzled. The strength of the defense could be improved? Was it because some level of the defense was sealed? Did the dissolving of the third seal activate some levels of defensive power which increased the Wicked bead’s strength?
“Leap? Spatial leap?”
The increase in strength and defensive power did not matter because the Beast Gods could not crack the Wicked Bead any time soon. As long as the escape could be successful, the Wicked Bead could recharge by absorbing energy in heaven and earth over a period of time.
What he cared about was the new function of the Wicked Bead. If this new function could not help him disperse the cyan airstream, he would have to use the Slayer’s blood.
“Let’s see!”
Lu Li sent a mental command. The Wicked Bead trembled slightly, and the glow rose suddenly and sharply. It was shining brighter.
“Something is happening!”
The Master of Silver Dragon who was sitting on a hill outside opened his eyes. He flew up and shouted at the same time. Masters of Fairy Fox and Ghost Face Spider followed him closely. Master of Haechi leaped up as well. He changed to his beast form and breathed out some cyan airstream.
“Buzzing!”
The Wicked Bead was kindling more and more brightly. Then, as the space trembled, the Wicked Bead vanished on the spot.
“What?”
Master of Silver Dragon turned pale with fright. He looked around where the Wicked Bead was at—with wide open eyes. He could not believe what he just witnessed.
“There!”
Master of Ghost Face Spider suddenly shouted. The others turned to the north and saw a little dot thirty miles.
“Whoosh!”
Master of Silver Dragon dashed on; followed by Masters of Ghost Face Spider, Haechi, and Fairy Fox, as well as the over 200 Beast Gods.
Thirty miles could be covered in time for a few blinks. When the beasts saw the Wicked Bead floating in the air here, they were astounded.
Teleportation?
Some beasts knew the art of teleportation. Human warriors that had studied spatial Profound Meanings could also teleport. Human Earth Immortal Realm warriors generally know the art of shifting in space.
But a bead could also teleport across the void? The Beast Gods acted as if they had seen ghosts in plain sight. In their big eyes, were shocked bewilderment.
“I can leap across space!”
Inside the Wicked Bead, Lu Li was delighted. The Wicked Bead did not let him down. It had leaped across thirty miles. Time moved very slowly inside the cyan airstream but it did not impose restrictions on space. The slow-moving time did not matter now that the Wicked Bead could leap across space.
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Lu Li’s loud joyful laugh woke up Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Ke Mang. Both saw Lu Li grinning from ear to ear. “What is it? Some breakthrough?” Patriarch of Law Enforcement asked, pleasantly surprised.
“Yes!”
Lu Li nodded. “We have broken out from the siege. I will tell you later. Now, let me take a closer look.”
Closing his eyes, Lu Li inspected the Wicked Bead carefully. His grin turned into a bitter smile upon checking. The space leap consumed energy and not to a small extent. This one leap had cost enough energy to sustain the attacks from two hundred Beast Gods for one month.
“Swish, swish~”
The Master of Silver Dragon and Master of Fairy Fox had arrived but neither took actions. The Master of Haechi breathed out cyan airstream to restrict the Wicked Bead.
“What?”
Lu Li suddenly realized that he was trapped by the airstream. He hurried to take another leap in the Wicked Bead.
“Buzzing!”
The Wicked Bead glared and space was shaking. Once again, the Wicked Bead vanished and re-emerged thirty miles to the west. For those two leaps, the Wicked Bead had traveled thirty miles. It was possible that this was the distance limit for the spatial leap.
“Go after them!”
Master of Silver Dragon’s eyes was emitting a chilling glow. He was both worried and thrilled. He was worried that the Wicked Bead could break free easily, and that might stop him from obtaining the Wicked Bead. He was thrilled that the Wicked Bead could leap across space. The Wicked Bead was definitely something miraculous. If he could acquire the Wicked Bead, then the Silver Dragons would obtain a domineering position.
Master of Silver Dragon led the Beast Gods over. The Wicked Bead was still there. The Master of Silver Dragon was delighted. He wondered if the Wicked Bead would have to stop for a while after each leap.
His delight had just come out when he freaked out again.
Because…
The Wicked Bead moved and dashed toward the north in a blur, as fast as lightning. Before the beasts could react, the Wicked Bead had disappeared into the north.
“Oh my, the speed!”
The Master of Fairy Fox shouted in surprise. Her cherry lips were slightly opened and the astonishment in her eyes added to her charm.
“Can we… even catch up with it?”
Master of Ghost Face Spider’s jaw dropped. He was visibly disheartened and so were the other Beast Gods. Some had lost the will to continue the pursuit.
“Whoosh!”
Before they could react, from the distance came a blur. The Wicked Bead had come back. They heard Lu Li’s voice coming from inside the Wicked Bead and he spoke the ancient language so that all the Beast Gods could understand. “Guys, how come you have stopped? How about we shake things up? How about I chase after you now?”
