"That many?"
Lu Li had already observed with psychic power. The beasts could compare to warriors of the Noble Lord Realm. It was not usual for them to appear in large amounts.
"I am only speaking of the 10,000 nearby!"
God of Meng looked up to the dark red sky and said, "I didn't even have the ability to go further. I can tell that this world is large. You can sense the Xuan Qi in heaven and earth. It is even more profound than at the Central Plains. I don't think…this is a small world. I think it is a super world."
Lu Li and Lu Ling closed their eyes to get a better sense. They were shocked to realize that the Xuan Qi in heaven and earth was indeed twice as rich as in the Central Plains. Theoretically speaking, this place was twice as large as the Central Plains.
Under normal circumstances, the larger a land was, the thicker the Xuan Qi would be. Northern Desert had a thin layer of Xuan Qi and that of the Clouds Plains was much thicker. In the Central Plains, Xuan Qi was even more profound than in the Clouds Plains.
Of course, there were exceptions. The small world the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race lived in was much smaller than the Northern Desert. That being said, the small world's Xuan Qi was rich.
But Lu Li and Lu Ling would rather believe that this new small world had some special traits than that it was larger than the Central Plains. They thought that the special feature were what made the Xuan Qi profound.
After all, the Central Plains was already large. If this new world was larger than that, then it would be another universe, rather than a small world.
"Has anyone in history ever found a small world as large as the Heaven Reverse Universe?"
Lu Li couldn't help but ask God of Meng. If so, Lu Li would plan on destroying the passage.
The larger the world was, the more powerful the beings living in the world would be. If the new world had beings as strong was Earth Immortal Realm warriors and the number was great, then the new world would pose serious threat to the Heaven Reverse Universe.
Once the strong beings in the new world realized that it was infiltrated by warriors from the Heaven Reverse universe, the beings would trace back to the tunnel. They could force their way into the Heaven Reverse Universe, which would bring about a catastrophe.
"No…"
God of Meng said after some thoughts, "There are countless small worlds discovered at the Central Plains. Almost all the major families have controlled one or even more than a dozen small worlds. The largest one I know is only of the size of the Clouds Plains."
"Okay!"
Lu Li was a bit relieved. If a small world was only as big as the Clouds Plains, then the creatures there would not be too strong. At worst, there might be some creatures as powerful as Human Sovereign Realm warriors. Lu Li could deal with that. If he had the chance and he needed to, he could leave and destroy the passage later.
Lu Ling thought about it and said, "We must be careful. Lu Li, I will take control here. You go and make some arrangements."
Lu Li understood what kind of arrangement Lu Ling had in mind. He watched into the valley for a while and saw that Qu Cheng and the other three could deal with the creatures easily. They were pushing the creatures back. Lu Li felt he could breathe again.
"Sis, be careful."
Lu Li said and went back to the Deserted World through the tunnel.
Back to the volcano, Lu Li noticed that Ke Mang and Ke Lv had begun to set up illusions. Lu Li nodded and said, "Ke Lv, you will build one here. Ke Mang, go in there and build another one."
To have illusions set up inside the valley would not only lend help to Qu Cheng and the others in their fights against the creatures, it would also contribute to the hiding of the passage.
Ke Mang acted accordingly and went into the strange world. Afer Ke Lv finished his work, Lu Li asked him to notify other races for them to send over their powerful warriors.
Whether Lu Li was going to conquer the world or protect himself, he would need stuff. Lu Li stayed at the entrance. If anything went wrong inside, after Lu Ling and the others came out, he could destroy the passage right away so that the creatures in the world could not get to the Deserted World.
The Shadowland Race's territory was nearby. Ke Mang sent someone to deliver the message and many from his clan arrived within hours. They were either at the Eternal Realm or the Noble Lord Realm. The Shadowland Race was indeed not powerful. They had few Noble Lord Realm warriors. But the number of Eternal Realm warriors that had come reached more than 100.
"Dig out the volcano."
Lu Li commanded the Shadowland Race warriors. At the same time, Lu Li asked Ke Lv to build a larger illusion nearby. Even if some powerful creatures were to come out, they could be trapped for a while.
Hundreds of Eternal Realm warriors sprang to work quickly. Being scorched and soaked by hot lava all year round, the walls of the volcano were extremely stiff. Lu Li had to lend his divine weapon to a patriarch of the Shadowland Race for them to pick up their speed.
No matter how stiff the walls were, they would still fall under the constant digging by a group of powerful warriors. Soon, one of the walls cracked and a ditch was dug out. Lava was diverted away, lowering the temperature at the entrance.
Gradually, more powerful warriors from other races flew over after teleported to the Shadowland City. Ke Lv was almost done with his work. Lu Li brought Chee-kar, Meng Zhi, Ye Hu and some others in.
Lu Li didn't bring in any Eternal Realm warriors who would only meet their own deaths when not even Noble Lord Realm warriors of the Titan Race could have an easy win against the creatures.
As soon as they entered the small world, they were all taken by surprise. They felt this was a world of fire. Everywhere they laid their eyes on, they saw a dark red color. Lava streams were abundant and the heat in the air was suffocating. Even the creatures at the other end of the valley had a fire red color.
"This must be what an Inferno looks like!"
Ye Hu exclaimed. According to folklores of the Northern Desert, there were 18 layers of hell and one of them was the Inferno. It was said to be horrifying, must be like this place preciously.
"Right, Inferno is an appropriate name for this."
Lu Li nodded in agreement. He walked toward the valley where Lu Ling was. He could see Ke Mang building illusion in the distance.
Ke Mang had come in for a long time and he was still working. The illusions he was building must be strong. After all, the one he built at Mount Mist took him only an hour.
Lu Ling and God of Meng were standing at the entrance of the valley. The three patriarchs of the Titan Race were still recovering from their wounds. Battle inside the valley was still on-going. But it was not difficult for Qu Cheng and the other three to fight off the creatures.
"What are those monsters? They are not like Xuan Beasts!"
Chee-kar, staring into the crowds of beasts, asked in surprise. The other warriors had the same confusion. The creatures were not large. They appeared to resemble the looks of leopards but they only had one eye that was vertically placed. Their bodies didn't seem to be made of muscles…rather, they looked like dark red rocks.
When they were killed by Qu Cheng and the other three, the creatures would collapse into pieces of maroon-colored rocks. There was no blood.
Stranger still, those creatures not only had life, but souls!
Even though the creatures seemed to be made of rocks, their parts were not separated. The rocks were integrated together. It was as if the creatures were balls of flames that were agile in moving around and speedy. They had a sharp horn on their heads. They mainly relied on their claws and harp horns to attack. The sharp horns were stiff and hard. Cold glares kept bouncing off from them.
"Have the rocks turned into living things?"
Meng Zhi murmured. Lu Ling shook her head and said, "These are not rocks. They are real life organisms. The world is full of wonders. Even though they look like rocks, they are still muscles. But I do think that their horns are stiff and sharp. They can be used in manufacturing Heaven Grade Xuan Artifacts…or even Holy Grade Xuan Artifacts. If we can conquer the small world, I think the horns alone can make us rich."
