“It can fly now? But can the Wicked Bead be any slower?”
Lu Li could sense the outside through the Wicked Bead. He could see how the mountains were retreating. He was excited by the fact. Slow as the Wicked Bead was, it had a new function now.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
The five Semi-God Realm warriors chased after him. They were all cheered up and began to pound the bead again with strong attacks.
The Wicked Bead had been staying still previously. Not even Profound Meaning attacks could nudge it. There must be something seriously wrong or else Lu Li wouldn’t have flew it away!
They did not know that at the very beginning, Lu Li could not control the Wicked Bead to fly. They believed that Lu Li was escaping because of a lack of energy. Therefore, they were uplifted by the thought and attacked the bead with full vigor.
They could not smash the bead down no matter how horrifying the attacks were. The bead moved toward the east in a moderate speed. That was where the City of Chaos was.
“Why am I going to the City of Chaos?”
Lu Li had been flying for a while before he realized this matter. Was he able to enter the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos currently? That was a definite no. As soon as he left the bead, he would be killed.
Lu Li thought about it and made up his mind. He steered the bead to the southeast, where the Feng Dynasty was. The Feng Dynasty and the Qi Dynasty had been quiet. Now, he wanted to stir something up.
There were five Semi-God Realm warriors chasing Lu Li. Also, there were Wu Guangde and Chen Tianxian. So, on this front, the number of Semi-God Realm warriors was seven. Feng Dynasty and Qi Dynasty together must have seven or eight Semi-God Realm warriors. Lu Li decided to let them destroy each other and make some Semi-God Realm warriors perish, which could reduce his pressure.
“I need to continue to dissolve the seal!”
A third of the first seal was lifted and the Wicked Bead already demonstrated new functions. Maybe something else would pop out as he moved along further.
Lu Li let go of the control of the bead after he set the course straight to the southeast. He went back to cultivating Xuan Energy and pouring all of it into the bead to dissolve the seal.
The bead was not fast. At this speed, it would take Lu Li a month to arrive at the Feng Dynasty. The five Semi-God Realm warriors were not worried. They thought they could crack it open in one moth.
The pursuers attacked as they went. A few hours later, they found a city up ahead. It was a medium-sized city. People of the city heard the noise. Many warriors flew up to check.
“Um…”
The most powerful in the city were at the Human Sovereign Realm. They saw from the distance the space was shaking and cracks appeared. They sensed the spreading horrifying energy. The warriors were pale from fright. One of them scream, “Everybody run.”
The bead came toward the city. There were people chasing after the bead. By the time the bead went past the city, wouldn’t the city be leveled to the ground?
Warriors in the city fled to all directions. The civilians were still confused as to what had happened. But they ran from the four gates of the city as well after seeing how the warriors were escaping.
Looking down from the sky, the city seemed to be like a wasp’s hive with countless wasps flying out from it to all sides. It was a mess in the city. Many cried and more screamed. Many old people and children were sitting on the ground, shivering. For them, this was no different from a catastrophe.
“What is going on?”
Lu Li sensed something was wrong. He used psychic power and saw how it was in the city afar. He frowned at the scene. He used mind control to change direction.
He wanted the five Semi-God Realm warriors and the Feng Dynasty to go after each other. But he didn’t want to implicate the civilians. He could be cold-hearted and he could kill anyone in order to survive. At the same time, he would not stay aside if millions of innocent civilians were going to lose their lives.
The escapees started to go back when they saw the bead had changed routes. The warriors in the city felt relieved as well. As the bead went around, the city could remain complete.
The five Semi-God Realm warrior kept following Lu Li. They would not murder civilians randomly, either. Otherwise, people would be enraged and would fight back. In that case, their own families could be in big trouble.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
The bead went toward the southeast again after taking a detour. Following it was the five Semi-God Realm warriors and their attacks. Everywhere the bead was at was a mess. Mountains fell, and the earth split. Pits, cracks, and marks of attack were clearly visible. It was a tragic scene.
“Hiss, hiss~”
The escapees had returned to the city. None dared to go out and look. All were gathered in the city, discussing about it. The Leng Dynasty’s death was recent. Then, such a weird thing happened. The civilians were in a state of anxiety.
The Wicked Bead flew on. It stayed on the same course unless a city was in the path. Lu Li kept on dissolving the seal.
Five days went by. Lu Li had went past more than a dozen cities. All the civilians were frightened and would try to run away. They would only return in fear after Lu Li changed directions.
The news spread across the remnants of the Leng Dynasty in a fast speed. Then, information was sent to the Feng Dynasty and the Qi Dynasty as well. Soon, a huge sensation swept across the entire Central Imperial Universe.
Regular small families and civilians did not have access to the inside information. They only learned that several major families caused the destruction of the Leng Dynasty for the sake of a man named Lu Li.
Why were those powerful old warriors chasing after a bead?
This was a surprising matter that had caused many to wonder. What was that bead? Was it something of voodoo nature or an interesting treasure? How come five powerful warriors couldn’t crack it after attacking it for five days?
This was a strange thing that was unheard of. No wonder it spread out soon.
What was more, the bead would go around a city, which was cause for more doubt—was there a man in the bead? Was the bead an intelligent being itself?
On the seventh day!
The bead gave out a glow and then suddenly sped up. It reached the speed of the initial stage of the Noble Lord Realm. It confused the five Semi-God Realm warriors and startled Lu Li as well.
Lu Li didn’t do anything apart from dissolving the seal constantly. How come the bead’s speed was increased all of a sudden? He was confused. Could it be that… with the seal dissolving, the speed could become faster and faster?
Lu Li was excited on the prospect. If the bead could really gain speed like this and could eventually travel faster than the five Semi-God Realm warriors, then there was a chance of escape for him.
If the old warriors somehow gave up, he could fly to the City of Chaos and then go to the entrance of Prison of Water via the Prison of Gold. In the end, he would be able to return to the Heaven Reverse Universe.
“Keep going!”
Lu Li poured more Xuan Energy in. This time, not only did he use the Xuan Energy he cultivated, but also the one he stored in his Spirit Sea. Xuan Energy could be generated through cultivation. He didn’t have to fight at the moment. As a matter of fact, if he went out and fought, he would be dying an instant death.
The bead was heading toward the southeast. Five Semi-God Realm warriors were in hot pursuit. As far as they were concerned, Lu Li was a cornered beast that would do anything desperately which was why the bead was speeding up. They were convinced that the energy in the bead was running low, and they could crack it in no time.
They went past more cities along the way. But now, the civilians wouldn’t run away. They knew the Wicked Bead would go around. Some bolder warriors even stood on the city walls to look at the old warriors blasting the bead from the distance. They enjoyed the strange and yet astonishing scene.
Five days later…
The five Semi-God Realm warriors found themselves shocked again. The Wicked Bead paused for an instant and then sped up again. This time, its speed was at the initial stage of the Human Sovereign Realm…
The five Semi-God Realm warriors had a bad feeling—if the Wicked Bead could increase speed again and after two rounds, it would be as fast as they were. By that time, everything would be messed up.
