His protégé!This promise was tempting. Even to Lu Li, let alone the Master of Voodoo Race and the other warriors, was intrigued.
This was an immortal—a quite powerful one at that. He wanted to accept Lu Li as his protégé to relay his knowledge and skills so that Lu Li could be given the guidance in becoming an immortal.
Lu Li was apt to learn. He might not be the most talented but he was a gifted warrior. If he could be G.o.d of Sorcerer"s protégé, at the very least—Lu Li becoming an immortal would be guaranteed and if not, learning G.o.d of Sorcerer"s secret knowledge.
Maybe, Lu Li could strike a deal with the G.o.d of Sorcerer to only hand over the Wicked Bead after the latter had helped the former become an immortal. G.o.d of Sorcerer should be able to accept. Compared to the lifespan of an immortal, he could afford to wait for a few decades.
"Immortal!"
Lu Li was worked up a bit. If he could become an immortal, he would go and explore the vast and specular world that was the Divinity. He could find and visit Emperor of Heaven Reverse and follow him in his great course. More importantly… he could look for Lu Ling!
In this world, apart from his three wives, Lu Ling was the most important to Lu Li, even more so than Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Lu Zhengyang, and Lu Renhuang. To Lu Li, Lu Ling meant everything to him.
Since they were kids, he and Lu Ling had stuck together and helped each other in difficulties. She was his sister, his parent, his friend and even his sweetheart to some extent.
For the years that she had gone missing, Lu Li always had a sense of loss. Something was taken away from him. Lu Ling was a part of his life. Without her, his life had become colorless and his soul was missing a piece.
Go to the Divinity and find Lu Ling!
That was the goal Lu Li had been striving to reach over the years. Jiang Qiling, Bai Qiuxue, and Bai Xiashuang might believe that Lu Li had moved past the pain of losing Lu Ling. The truth was that he had buried this sorrow and longing in the depth of his soul and hid it from others.
As such…
He was on the verge of giving up the Wicked Bead nor negotiating a term with the G.o.d of Sorcerer. Lu Ling meant too much to him. If there was a chance of finding her, he could give up all his values and positions, let alone a Wicked Bead.
Fortunately, he came to his senses before it was too late.
The G.o.d of Sorcerer was of a dubious background and Lu Li knew nothing about him who was evidently a shady character. What if this was all a ruse? What if G.o.d of Sorcerer took control of Lu Li"s soul directly or poisoned him? Lu Li might lose not only the Wicked Bead but also his life.
Lu Li had the line diagram and he had finished the learning of four, leaving eight diagrams to be studied. Treading down this path, his realm could be elevated constantly, and it was possible that he could become an immortal.
If so, what would he take a great risk? The G.o.d of Sorcerer was an immortal. That being said, he might turn out to be unable to help Lu Li become one.
This could be proven easily. Emperor of Heaven Reverse was a mighty warrior in the Divinity, but he had never a.s.sisted anyone in becoming an immortal. For hundreds of thousands of years, there were swarms of talents in the Heaven Reverse Universe. It was unlikely that Emperor of Heaven Reverse disliked all of them. Why didn"t he give them some guidance so that they could become immortals?
Well!
Lu Li suddenly remembered the first time he saw the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse. The latter was pa.s.sing down divine energy and something sophisticated which was given to Jiang Qiling in the end because of the refusal of the silver dragon mark.
It could be said that the Emperor of Heaven Reverse did desire to guide and help the younger generations. Nevertheless, even given his abilities, it was hard to provide much a.s.sistance.
It was sufficient to say that becoming an immortal was dependent on individual effort!
"Phew, I almost fell for it!"
When Lu Li came around, a few drops of cold sweat ran down his forehead. He drove out all the messy thoughts and checked with psychic power. Again, he smashed the Wicked Bead at the statue.
"Ungrateful soul!"
G.o.d of Sorcerer said coldly. Then, he generated another dark fist and hit at the Wicked Bead which was knocked away repeatedly.
Lu Li was not frustrated. He came back again and again even though he was smashed away for a couple of times. He was not running a fool"s errand. He had an agenda.
The statue had stopped emitting a pink fog. When the G.o.d of Sorcerer made his move, the fog was dispersed.
Lu Li wanted the fog to thin down so he could go out and release the Dragon Demon. He believed that the Dragon Demon could, very likely, destroy the statue.
The column of light was still rising from the statue as if divine energy was being pa.s.sed down. Lu Li flew over the Wicked Bead again. After he was knocked away this time, he looked around, nodded to himself and murmured, "Almost there."
Every time a fist consisted of dark air came into being, the s.p.a.ce would tremble. At the moment, the pink fog in the city had been thinned down. Lu Li"s defense was strong. He was not afraid of the toxins from the Three-legged Golden Toad. This amount of toxic fog outside should not affect him.
"Buzzing~"
He flew the Wicked Bead over but stopped halfway this time. He dashed out.
"Eh?"
Master of Voodoo Race and his warriors were standing behind the statue. All were surprised to see Lu Li coming out. How bold he was. The toxic fog might be lessening but it was still present.
"Okay!"
Master of Voodoo Race was excited. Those pink fog was not toxins from the Divinity. Even so, it was quite potent. Master of Voodoo Race had used his birth insect to produce this fog. A year ago, his birth insect was evolved after consuming a gra.s.s that had grown for ten thousand years. The fog the insect produced was times more potent now.
Master of Voodoo Race was confident that as long as the fog seeped into Lu Li, he could control the toxins to let it spread across Lu Li"s entire body. Even if Lu Li was able to survive that and not die instantly, he would have lost his abilities.
"What?"
But Master of Voodoo Race was puzzled to see that the fog could not enter Lu Li"s body no matter how he controlled his birth insect to gather the fog around Lu Li. It appeared that the armor Lu Li had on was a Relic and it had stopped the pa.s.sage of the toxic fog.
"Dragon Demon, come on out!"
Lu Li checked for a while to make sure that the toxins could not get into him after he was released, a fact that had emboldened him. After a flash from between his eyebrows, a red shadow whooshed out and a huge, intimidating beast came into being in the air.
"Good heavens!"
When the Dragon Demon emerged, Lu Li"s eyes began to glare. Now that the Dragon Demon had eaten the Three-legged Golden Toad, it had grown up by times in size and in power. How strong was the Dragon Demon? Not even Lu Li would know.
"What…"
"What is this?"
"Is this the demonic being the Asmodian Lord had summoned? It is… horrifying!"
"Is this a Mythical Creature? Oh, we are doomed, doomed…"
Master of Voodoo Race and the warriors were all overwhelmed by the Dragon Demon"s energy. Many warriors" teeth were chattering and their bodies trembling. In their mind, the only idea they had was that they could not compete and that they had lost all hope.
"Well? The Dragon Demon?"
From inside the statue of G.o.d of Sorcerer came a voice of surprise. He recognized the Dragon Demon. "Isn"t the Dragon Demon from the Domain of Chaos? How can it be in this mortal world? This small mortal world has Relic and a Dragon Demon, curious…"
