The Invincible Dragon Emperor

“This Fundamental Principle of Life is powerful!”

Lu Li noticed that in the time for a dozen breaths, that person had completely recovered. The burnt skin on his face and hands peeled off, revealing baby-like smooth skin.

“Moving on!”

Holy Princess took back her twig and said. Lin Yu and the others looked at each other and pressed forward. Each group had five. Their teamwork was good. Each person would take turns to step forward, which was fair to all. Life and death would be purely decided by luck.

The corridor was spacious. Each row had thirty to forty slabs. They could choose the path randomly. Of course, nobody could tell which slab would be the trigger. Therefore, they all just closed their eyes and went along.

The over a dozen groups had crossed over one hundred feet. Only one person was burnt, but everyone else was tense. By far, they seemed to be blessed with some good luck. Probably, there were just fewer Inhibition Formations on the course they were choosing.

It was Lu Li’s turn again. His body was covered with dragon scales. The Relic armor appeared, and he used Burning Blood skill as well. He cast a glance at the slabs in front of him and chose one randomly to step on.

“Secure!”

He stepped on it and was relieved that it was safe. The other four in his group followed up at once.

“Boom!”

He suddenly heard an explosive noise coming from the left. They looked over and just happened to see a man struck by bolts of purple lightning.

“Swish~”

Holy Princess threw her twig instantly. However… it was of no use this time. Before the twig reached that person, he was blasted into dust.

“Hiss, hiss~”

Others were gasping. Looking at the pile of ash on the ground, they were seized with terror.

A person that was alive a moment ago had been reduced into dust without even a corpse left behind. How horrifying was the lightning bolt?

“That is the true power of Inhibition Formations!”

Lu Li exclaimed to himself. In the past, he had underestimated Inhibition Formations. When he began to study the books collected by Tian Lingzi, Lu Li had a new understanding of Inhibition Formations. His interest grew stronger as he saw the Inhibition Formation here could kill immortals.

“Such a pity!”

Lu Li shook his head. His knowledge of Inhibition Formations was little. He had only read a small part of the books left by Tian Lingzi. At the very best, he had a rudimentary understanding of Inhibition Formations. To solve the Inhibition Formations on the Path of Life and Death would be barking at the moon.

“Wait a minute!”

Lu Li suddenly realized something. He didn’t need to solve the Inhibition Formations. All he needed to do was to determine under which slab was embedded with Inhibition Formations and decided where the dangers lay.

“Blood Fairy!”

Lu Li communicated with the Bloodvine through spiritual connection at once. He told her about the Path of Life and Death and asked if she could find a way. Lu Li would be able to cross the path when Blood Fairy found him the safest course.

Bloodvine was a miraculous creature born in nature with the special ability to understand Inhibition Formations. She could crack the Inhibition Formation and took over the control of the Divine Imperial City. She could help Lu Li quicken his progress when he was dissolving the seal of the Wicked Bead. Those were proof that she excelled in this regard.

“I am not sure. Let me take a look!”

Blood Fairy did not provide Lu Li with a definitive answer. Lu Li nodded. “Just send out one tentacle into my body and then sneak into the ground from my foot. Do not let others notice you.”

If it turned out the Bloodvine could deal with the Inhibition Formation and that was noticed by the disciples of the three major sects, they would be envious. When that happened, Lu Li would fall victim to murder even if he could survive this path.

“Buzzing~”

The Wicked Bead was dimly glowing in Lu Li’s hand. Fortunately, the Wicked Bead did not emit strong energy, so nobody paid attention. The Wicked Bead did not stand out given many people here had Relics and other artifacts.

Bloodvine reached out a tentacle from the Wicked Bead into Lu Li’s body to the stone slab from his foot.

Since everyone’s attention was on the person that was blasted to death, nobody noticed Lu Li’s little tricks. He did a good job hiding his actions. Apart from the faint glow from the Wicked Bead, nothing else happened.

“Keep going!”

Disciples of the Cabinet of Cloud shouted. The others paused for one second but moved on. They could not just stand here because one person was dead. They were faced with a long corridor.

They walked forward but slower. Not long afterward, another person was attacked by Inhibition Formation. A sickle poked out from underground all of a sudden and cut off his legs.

Luckily, with Holy Princess there, growing out new legs was nothing difficult. Not even healing pellets were needed. The twig entangled that person. In the time for two incense sticks to burn, his legs had grown out.

“Thank you, Holy Princess!”

That person bowed to her. Though she seemed to be indifferent to others and cold, at least, she kept her promise. People began to have a better feeling about her.

“Boom~”

After the time for one incense stick to burn, a black light column was suddenly cast down from the ceiling, and it landed on a person’s head. He was wearing Relic armor, but he fell to the ground right away due to the impact. He died before Holy Princess could offer her a helping hand.

“His Relic armor and weapon are crushed!”

Many people’s mouth twitched. Looking at the pile of remains, many people felt they were seeing their own end.

But what could they do now that they had gone so far?

There was no other way other than to keep moving on. Those that had come to the Tomb of King Luna were prepared to face death. The warriors that could become immortals were not afraid of death. Those without a strong will shall not become immortals.

“Blood Fairy, any progress?”

Lu Li was nervous. His body was strong, and he was wearing Relic armor. However, he could not have survived that black light column, either.

“Master, be patient!”

Blood Fairy replied. “The Inhibition Formations here are intricate. Every slab has one. I haven’t figured out the powers and triggers yet. I need to observe a bit longer. Please give me some time.”

“Alright!”

Lu Li was a bit relieved. Blood Fairy did not say she could tackle the problem with certainty but at least there was still hope that he could reach the other end of the path as long as he could hang in there for a bit longer.

“Your turn now!”

While Lu Li was thinking, someone pushed him. Lu Li told Blood Fairy to come back to his body.

He looked at the slabs and randomly chose one.

Secure!

He was glad that he enjoyed good luck. He put his other foot on the slab at once.

However, as his entire weight fell on the slab, a ray of light rose. Following that, over a dozen spear poked at him.

“Eh?”

Many people looked over. Holy Princess released her twig at once to try to save Lu Li. At that moment, Lu Li sensed he was faced with fatal danger. He swung the saber above his head without hesitation.

“Swish~”

As the Slayer’s move was released, a ray of blood-red light whooshed out. Forces in nature from around him were gathering. Several spears above his head were smashed away. Even so, seven to eight spears still reached down.

“Bang!”

One spear stabbed at his left shoulder. His Relic armor was pierced through directly. Then the spear reached into his left shoulder. It ran through his body and came out from his leg into the ground.

“I must stay still!”

Lu Li made up his mind. He was in excruciating pain and almost fell to the ground. That being said, there were other spears around him. If he dared to move at all, his head would be crushed.
