The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Lu Li brought Little White back into the Wicked Bead and resumed pursuit of Blazing Huo since the Ghost Worms could not be brought under control.

The Ghost Worms cost them some time, but it was fine. The stamp on Blazing Hou was still there. He must have been running and didn’t have the chance to deal with it.

“We are getting closer!”

Eight hours later, the Deaf Taoist said. While talking, his wounds hurt. Deaf Taoist twitched his mouth as he went on, “Lord, I can feel that Blazing Huo is only hundreds of thousands of miles away from us. But the stamp is getting weaker. It must be being dissolved.”

Lu Li flew the Wicked Bead at full speed. He did not feel too pressed because that would not do him any help anyway. He had already made up his mind of continuing this pursuit and would not give up as long as there was a hint of hope.

The fact that he was chasing after Blazing Huo must have been heard all over the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. The nine universes must have been informed as well. The story must have caused worry in the nine universes, so nobody there could have the courage to create trouble in the Heaven Reverse Universe now.

Before Lu Li set off, he had already asked Patriarch of Law Enforcement to make arrangements. All disciples of the four major families had been relocated to the Prison of Wood. Even if someone from the nine universes were to invade the Heaven Reverse Universe, they could only kill some civilians, which would not touch the cornerstones. Instead, such actions would further infuriate Lu Li. Many families must have thought of this.

“Oh no!”

After the time for one incense stick to burn, the Deaf Taoist opened his eyes to report, “The stamp is gone. Lord, go on. Blazing Huo should be about tens of thousands of miles ahead of us.”

“Yes!”

That was not a long distance. He could arrive in the time for half an incense stick to burn. The Wicked Bead dashed on, and Lu Li kept checking with psychic power. After the time for half an incense stick to burn, Lu Li came to a valley. Before he spread out his psychic power, he had heard a sharp noise coming from a place dozens of miles away.

“Blazing Huo!”

Lu Li knew that it must be him. Lu Li had not met many warriors in the Prison of Darkness. He flew for such a long time and only noticed four warriors. The Prison of Darkness had a small population. It would be a huge coincidence for Lu Li to run into a warrior in cultivation at this very moment.

The Wicked Bead dashed on. In a moment, Lu Li had caught up with the warrior. Lu Li was surprised when he checked with psychic power because… it was not Blazing Huo. It was just a warrior at the later stage of the Semi-God Realm.

Lu Li sulked upon seeing that the warrior was not Blazing Huo. The warrior must be planted here by Blazing Huo to distract Lu Li. Blazing Huo must have either escaped to another direction or tore apart the void and teleported away. To go after him now was more difficult.

“Deaf Taoist, we are duped!”

Lu Li told Deaf Taoist what had happened and then he sent the latter out to collect information.

“Boom!”

Deaf Taoist was about to find someone to vent his anger. He smashed at the warrior with the stone column. That Semi-God Realm warrior was only half alive now. The Deaf Taoist said in a ferocious tone, “What is your relationship with Blazing Huo? Why are you helping him?”

“I don’t have anything to do with Blazing Huo!”

That warrior felt wronged. “I was cultivating in a nearby area, and Blazing Huo came to me. He sat for a while and all of a sudden, he told me to fly this way or he will kill me. Taoist… I don’t have a choice.”

“Bang!”

The Deaf Taoist did not want to hear more excuses from this man. The former ground the warrior to death and said to Lu Li through the Wicked Bead, “Lord, let us split up. Blazing Huo cannot have gone far. Even with teleportation, he can only travel hundreds of miles.”

“Okay!”

Lu Li gave Deaf Taoist some warning jade talismans and gave him some instructions. Then, Lu Li flew to another direction in the Wicked Bead. The Wicked Bead was times faster than Blazing Huo now. There was still a chance for Lu Li to find him.

Lu Li sped the Wicked Bead up and searched the nearby areas. It was unfortunate that the Prison of Darkness was a strange place. It was so dark there that not even psychic power could reach a large area. To find a man here was just like finding a needle in a haystack.

It had been two hours but Lu Li had not heard back from Deaf Taoist. Lu Li’s mind was weighed down. If they could not find Blazing Huo in two hours, then the search could only grow harder given the special situations in the Prison of Darkness.

Another hour later, Lu Li and Deaf Taoist ran into each other. The latter entered the Wicked Bead and said at once, “Lord, stop searching now. We are not going to find him. We have to wait at the entrance of the Prison of Soul and see if we can run into him there.”

“You are right!”

Lu Li nodded. Under the guidance of Deaf Taoist, Lu Li flew to the entrance of the Prison of Soul while he kept on searching along the way to see if he could get lucky.

Along the way, they encountered more warriors. The Deaf Taoist went outside and found two of them stationed at the entrance of the Prison of Wind. If Blazing Huo was going to return to the Prison of Wind, they would know.

Usually, people did not like cultivating here because the absolute darkness would change their temperament and not benefit progress. What could one learn in a place with nothing to see but darkness?

Several days later, Lu Li arrived at the entrance of the Prison of Wood. Lu Renhuang woke up. The Deaf Taoist had elixirs. Lu Renhuang’s broken arm was growing back.

He and Lu Li had a long chat. Lu Renhuang learned much about the Heaven Reverse Universe. He sighed at the stories and felt ashamed.

He was also proud that Lu Li could have such powers. He did not feel uncomfortable that Lu Li was stronger than him now. As a father, he would always hope that his son could excel him.

Lu Renhuang began to cultivate after a while. He wanted to recover as soon as possible so that he could offer some help when Lu Li went to attack at the Yan Family. Lu Li gave the Bead of Wood to Lu Renhuang.

The Bead of Wood could be used to drive away poison and be used as a shield. This was a nice piece of Relic. Lu Renhuang’s abilities could be increased greatly after he took control of the Bead of wood. Though he would still be weaker compared with the Deaf Taoist and Blazing Huo, Lu Renhuang should be able to deal with average warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm.

At the entrance to the Prison of Soul, Lu Li asked the Deaf Taoist to guard outside while he stayed in the Wicked Bead to cultivate to continue to learn the Slayer’s move and the Map of Fundamental Principles.

At the same time, Lu Li asked the Deaf Taoist to try to contact Lu Feng and have him collect information about the nine universes. He must be informed at once so that he could return to the Heaven Reverse Universe on the off chance that the warriors of the nine universes really took the risk and started an invasion.

They stayed at the entrance of the Prison of Soul for 10 days without learning anything. Lu Li had almost lost all hope. Prison of Darkness was connected to many small worlds and places. Lu Li could not wait here for years or decades if Blazing Huo had gone into a small world.

On the 11th day, from the entrance of Prison of Soul walked out a warrior, which got the attention of Lu Li and Deaf Taoist. That person seemed to know that Lu Li and Deaf Taoist were here. The warrior came to them directly and provided Lu Li a piece of shocking news—Blazing Huo was in the Prison of Soul.

Several days earlier, Lu Li started to fly this way after he could not find Blazing Huo. The Wicked Bead was faster than Blazing Huo. How could he have gone into the Prison of Soul? It was not right.

What was more surprising to Lu Li was that the old warrior had a token in his hand. He said that he was delivering the message on behalf of someone. Lu Li’s psychic power scanned the token.

Lu Li had the same token this man had. It was the token of the Blood Emperor!
