The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The city was middle-sized with about four hundred thousand residents. Including the warriors, its total population was about five hundred thousand.

There were over two hundred million still within the city and another over two hundred million were running outside the city. After Yan Zhen slapped down, the city had been flattened to the ground, and more than half of the city"s people escaped outside the city lost their lives.

That was to say, within such a short span of time, altogether, more than four hundred thousand were murdered right in front of Lu Li. The victims were ripped into pieces, and they were buried into the ground. Lu Li saw many appalling hand imprints on the ground, which caved in for over one hundred feet. Blood seeped into the dirt, and it was covered with severed limbs and internal organs. This was really a living h.e.l.l.

“Phew, phew~”

Lu Li was gasping for breaths, and his eyes were growing redder. Vines popped out on his face. He was seized with killing intent. He seemed to have turned into a ferocious beast.

When warriors of the nine universes invaded in the past, the Great Land lost tens of millions of people. But they did not die in front of Lu Li. As such, he felt those were just numbers, not faced with direct impacts.

Lu Li had seen dead people before because he had gone through many great battles. He witnessed the pa.s.sing of many warriors. But warriors were different. He rarely saw the death of civilians. However, he could do nothing as he watched the unarmed civilians get smashed to death now.

“Wah, wah~”

Lu Li found a child of three or four years old by a pit. His mother was shattered to death to protect him just now. At the moment, the child grabbed his blood-covered mother and was crying his eyes out. While crying, he tried to wipe the tears off his face, which was now covered in blood as well…

“The great Emperor of Heaven Reverse, please open your eyes. Your children are suffering. Please punish this demon and kill him.”

“Great Grand Master Lu, where are you? Please help your people…”

Some surviving seniors dropped to their knees and bowed to the north with fear all over their faces. Their hunched bodies were shuddering, and their face was covered up with fright and desperation. They were not warriors. There was nothing they could do other than praying and… waiting for death to come!

Emperor of Heaven Reverse could not hear their prayers. Even if he could, there was not much he could do, not to mention that he wasn"t even able to fend himself. What could he do even if he could manifest now?

The representative of Emperor of Heaven Reverse, the Grand Master of Demon-slaying Hall, Lu Li, was right here. But… just like the senior citizens, he could not do anything other than watch as his people were being murdered by Yan Zhen.

Das.h.i.+ng out?

Then apart from accelerating his own demise, what would be the point of that? Would Yan Zhen leave the Heaven Reverse Universe even after Lu Li pa.s.sed away? During the last invasion, the nine universes lost too many warriors. If Lu Li were to die, soon, more warriors would come to invade to destroy the Heaven Reverse Universe so as to avenge the pa.s.sing warriors.

“Crack, crack, crack!”

Lu Li bit his teeth so hard that they made noises. He clenched his fists. He was like an entrapped beast that might break out from its chains and dash out in a roar.

“Master, calm down!”

He Yue said. If Lu Li died, she would as well. She was closely linked to Lu Li. Naturally, she didn"t want Lu Li to risk his life.

“Bang!”

Lu Li punched the ground. He dropped to his knees, weighed down. On his face was guilt.

If it were not for him, the nine universes would not pay attention to the Heaven Reverse Universe. Why would they come to the Heave Reverse Universe, which cost the lives of so many civilians?

“Ha, ha, ha!”

Lu Li heard a loud laugh. Clearly, Yan Zhen used Xuan Energy to amplify his voice to send it to an area with a radius of dozens of miles. “Lu Li, you coward. Your people are dying, but you are clenched in your Wicked Bead like a turtle in its sh.e.l.l. Can"t you hear that your people are praying to you? Ha, ha, ha, Lu Li, just you watch. I will eliminate all the humans in the Heaven Reverse Universe!”

“Whoos.h.!.+”

After that, Yan Zhen ignored Lu Li and the immortal"s body. Even though the immortal"s body had been chasing after Yan Zhen, he disregarded the former as an annoying fly and flew to the distance.

This time, Lu Li did not go after Yan Zhen in the Wicked Bead. He was still sitting inside with his hair disheveled. His eyes were red, and his face looked ferocious, like a fiend.

He Yue stood next to him but was fearful to move too close for fear that she might be killed by Lu Li in a fit of rage. Having been with him for quite some time, she knew something about his temper.

Lu Li was in a high realm but was of a young age. Unlike the aged warriors who were dead to all feelings, Lu Li valued his relations.h.i.+ps, and he was heroic.

He was the leader of the Heaven Reverse Universe, the Grand Master of Demon-slaying Hall. He treated all human beings as his family. Now, all of them were being killed one by one, but he could not fight back. He had no options. He could only kneel here in guilt, like a turtle retracting its head into its sh.e.l.l. One could only imagine the pain within his heart…

“Boom!”

After the time for dozens of breaths, he heard a loud noise from afar. He Yue had subsidiary bodies in that area so she could sense the situation easily. There was a small city there. Needless to say, the small city was wiped out. The tens of thousands of people were slaughtered as well.

“What to do? How? What should I do?”

Lu Li felt his mind was going to explode. As time slipped by, more people would die. His heart was torn with anxiety and was occupied with anger and grievance. It appeared that he had lost the ability to think. The only thing left on his mind was “what to do”.

Go out?

Then he would most certainly die, and the Heaven Reverse Universe could not be protected.

Stay inside? Then the cities of the Heaven Reverse Universe would be ruined one by one. Countless people would be murdered. Innocent people with hands and feet, blood and flesh, with a mind and friends, families, living people. They should have been living a happy life in comfort. Now, those innocent people had been deprived of their lives.

“Calm down. Calm down!”

Lu Li rubbed his face to collect himself. The messier his mind was, the worse it would be. He zoned out for a moment. Then, he flew away in the Wicked Bead.

Not long afterward, he saw a bombed small city. There wasn"t even one intact building standing in the city. The city was dotted with broken limbs. Tens of thousands were killed. Only a few hundred were lucky enough to survive. Or maybe… they were let alive by Yan Zhen on purpose. Hundreds were either howling in pain due to heavy injury or crying into the dead bodies of their families…

Lu Li used psychic power to check. Once again, his heart ached. He covered his hands on his chest, feeling suffocated. Involuntarily, he spat out some blood.

He couldn"t watch any longer. He flew into the distance after a quick check. He Yue pointed him the way. Yan Zhen was fast. But he was pausing every now and then, putting on a killing spree everywhere he went to. Not even the tribes along the way were spared. He would stop there and repeat his actions.

Lu Li went after Yan Zhen. After the time for three incense sticks to burn, he caught up with Yan Zhen. On his way, Lu Li saw four tribes and another small city being ruined. Now, Yan Zhen was targeting a large city.

Lu Li found the city familiar. This city was under the control of a branch of Hu Lang"s family with a population of over… two million.
