The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Since the clever way could not do it, Lu Li would have to rely on force. He dashed into the Wicked Bead without hesitation and flew toward the north of the city with tremendous force.

“Bang!”

The Wicked Bead was moments faster than the Immortal’s body. In the time for one breath, the Wicked Bead had reached north of the city. The Wicked Bead smashed into the crowds, finishing many Noble Lord Realm warriors.

“Wicked Bead!”

Yan Tiangang seemed greedy. He had just moved here, and Lu Li could catch up with him so soon. How fast the Wicked Bead was! Yan Tiangang used psychic power to check. Instantly, he made sure that this was the legendary supreme Relic Wicked Bead that was said to contain many secrets.

But at this moment, Yan Tiangang did not have the energy to mind the Wicked Bead. He flew to the Divine Imperial Castle and poured out Xuan Energy with a golden ray of light. The entire Divine Imperial Castle glowed with full radiance. A golden shield appeared.

The Divine Imperial Castle housed the altar and statue. Yan Tiangang had thought this through when he obtained the Divine Imperial City. He did some work on the city and added a formation inside the Divine Imperial Castle. To crack the formation would not be easy.

“Step back!”

Seeing that Blazing Huo and the others coming closer, Yan Tiangang commanded the people around the Divine Imperial Castle at once. Those people could not offer any help here. Instead, they would lose their lives in the hands of Blazing Huo and others.

When the formation inside the Divine Imperial Castle was activated, Yan Tiangang turned to Blazing Huo, the Deaf Taoist, and the others. Since he could not end Lu Li now, he thought he could vent his anger on this group first to give Lu Li some trouble.

“Swish, swish~”

Yan Tiangang’s shadow floated over. He threw out six machetes, aiming at Blazing Huo, Lu Renhuang, and the Deaf Taoist.

“Blood Fairy, the formation!”

Lu Li told the Bloodvine. Turning to Lu Renhuang and the others, Lu Li said, “Leave the city. I can handle it here.”

The Deaf Taoist and Blazing Huo had stepped back when Yan Tiangang started to attack. Hearing Lu Li’s words, both were relieved. They hurried out of the city.

Yan Hu was dead. The core to control the Divine Imperial City was in his Interspatial Ring which was taken away by Lu Li. Therefore, the city gates were open. They could come and go at will.

Lu Renhuang gave Lu Li a meaningful look. The former decided to leave, seeing how determined Lu Li was. With the Bead of Wood, Lu Renhuang thought he could help Lu Li. However, Lu Renhuang was still weaker than Blazing Huo and the Deaf Taoist. Staying here would only be an extra burden to Lu Li.

Hearing Lu Li’s words, the other Semi-God Realm warriors felt they could breathe again. They all rushed out of the city at once.

The Semi-God Realm warriors all left. Yan Tiangang thought he could kill some of them. But at the moment, the Immortal’s body had come to the Divine Imperial Castle. He put one hand on the wall, and clearly, the wall was collapsing.

The living souls inside the city were forced to the corner at northwest side. There were only few people alive. The total number was only three to four million, among whom many were wounded. The Yan Family had suffered a great loss.

Yan Tiangang ignored those civilians. The avatar slapped at the Immortal’s body and, at the same time, released machetes. He thought he could smash away the Immortal’s body to stop him from breaking the formation.

The Immortal’s body was like a mountain. He stayed still no matter what Yan Tiangang did.

Yan Tiangang was losing patience. If the Immortal’s body could break the Divine Imperial Castle, both the altar and statue would be lost. His avatar would disperse, and none of the people in the Yan Family here could live. The Divine Imperial City would become Lu Li’s!

“Whoosh!”

Yan Tiangang had an idea. The avatar flew over and grabbed the Wicked Bead. His hand was glaring in a golden ray of light. He used his strength to contain the Wicked Bead, and at the same time, he was trying to gain control of the Wicked Bead.

The Wicked Bead was headed toward northwestern side when the hand stopped it. Lu Li could tell that it was just like when God of Wings grabbed and took control of the Wicked Bead.

“Buzzing~”

The Wicked Bead unleashed a glare. Lu Li came out. He wanted to put the Wicked Bead into his Interspatial Ring, but it could not budge in Yan Tiangang’s hand.

“Swish!”

Lu Li swung his Relic weapon at Yan Tiangang’s avatar, using the Slayer’s move. Yan Tiangang had too many skills. All of a sudden, his shadow turned half-transparent. The blood-red ray of sword light could not hurt Yan Tiangang one bit.

Lu Li was losing patience because the spiritual link between him and the Wicked Bead was weakening. The Wicked Bead was Emperor Heng’s legacy. He could not have Yan Tiangang take it away.

“Hmm!”

Lu Li was hopping mad. He swung his Relic weapon toward the northwest where many Yan Family disciples were gathered. Lu Li thought Yan Tiangang would have concerns.

But Yan Tiangang did not. Though he was angered, he took no actions. He knew that he could not stop the Slayer’s move. He had made up his mind to take control of the Wicked Bead first.

He heard of this Wicked Bead by chance once. It was a piece of treasure, a supreme Relic that carried a huge secret. If he could have this bead in possession, his abilities would be enhanced. By then, he could be promoted to a super mighty warrior in the Divinity. If so, he could return to the Heaven Reverse Universe to fight back.

“Boom!”

The blood-red ray of sword light whooshed on. Many warriors were cut into pieces. The ray of sword light also caused an explosion that cleared out every warrior in an area. The exact number of casualties was beyond calculation. Conservatively speaking, at least hundreds of thousands had died…

Yan Tiangang paid no heed. Lu Li stopped. Killing those low-level warriors and civilians could not bring him any sense of reward.

Lu Li turned his focus to the Divine Imperial Castle. He wanted to take this risk to see if he and the Immortal’s body would crack the Divine Imperial Castle faster than Yan Tiangang controlling the Wicked Bead.

Yan Tiangang worked on the Wicked Bead quickly. Lu Li did some rough calculation. Yan Tiangang could not finish within an hour. In that time, with concerted effort with the Immortal’s body, the Divine Imperial Castle should be able to be breached.

“Blood Fairy, can you break into the Divine Imperial Castle in an hour?”

Lu Li was still worried, so he asked mentally. Blood Fairy took a pause before she replied, “I suppose so. Lord, keep striking to consume some energy of the Divine Imperial Castle. That will make it easier for me.”

“Okay!”

Lu Li took his mind off the Wicked Bead and hacked at the Divine Imperial Castle with the Relic weapon. Rays of sword light landed on the castle in a continuous motion.

There were still three million people crowded at the northwestern corner. They were all watching in tension and fear. Lu Li was formidable. Every strike on the Divine Imperial Castle would make their heart shake.

They were not clear about the specifics, but they could arrive at their own conclusions. Lu Li and Yan Tiangang were contending against each other and the outcome would determine their ending.

Of course, some higher-ups of the Yan Family were aware that whichever side that won, it was unlikely that they could stay alive. Even if Yan Tiangang could take control of the Wicked Bead, by the time the Divine Imperial Castle was cracked, then his avatar would be gone. With that, everyone here would be killed.

Yan Tiangang was clear about this, of course. He sent word to some patriarchs of the Yan Family, “Go ahead and leave the Divine Imperial City. Run for your lives. I will spare some energy to help you fend off the Semi-God Realm warriors out there for a moment.”

Yan Tiangang was ready to give up the Yan Family. He had no other choice. Though he was a mighty warrior from the Divinity, the Immortal’s body was simply too strong. Lu Li had the Relic armor on. Yan Tiangang’s avatar could not do anything to Lu Li…

“Listen up. Warriors carry civilians. Leave the city!”

The orders were sent. The three million people crowded at the northwestern side were seized with desperation. Maybe Yan Tiangang could stop the Semi-God Realm warriors out there for a moment, but for the ones fleeing the city, where could they go? Could they escape the pursuit from the Semi-God Realm warriors?

Many people turned to Lu Li in fear and in anger, and some in regret.

Who could have thought that the most powerful family in the nine universes would end in the hands of a thirty-some young man?
