The Invincible Dragon Emperor

A month passed in a flash. It was time for Lu Li to leave. After all, he had to go across the Prison of Gold, Prison of Ice, Prison of Wind, Prison of Darkness, Prison of Soul and Prison of Thunder. It would take him some time even though he was fast.

Lu Li announced that he would embark on his journey five days later. Many warriors hurried to the Earth Imperial Universe. As a matter of fact, some guests did not leave since the banquet. They all stayed to send Lu Li off.

An immortal!

In the mortal world, that was the highest level a warrior could reach. Many warriors, whether they were enemies or friends with Lu Li, came to see him off. They were paying respect to an immortal and to the path the warrior had to travel on.

During those days, Lu Li had enjoyed some hard-won time of leisure. Everything was settled. He had no further burden on his mind. He spent his days with Jiang Qiling, Bai Xiashuang, and Bai Qiuxue. Sometimes, he would hang out with Ye Luo, Ming Yu, and the others, free and easy.

Five days had passed. Lu Li hugged his three wives and kissed their foreheads as a goodbye. Then, with a firm look, he said, “Trust me. I will come back as soon as I can. I can leave the Northern Desert and stand at the peak of the Heaven Reverse Universe. I can rule the nine universes, and now I am an immortal. One day, I will make something of myself in the Divinity. I will… come back to pick you up, and we will go to the Divinity together!”

“Of course!”

The three of them nodded. Jiang Qiling bit her lips and Bai Qiuxue’s eyes reddened. Bai Xiashuang could not help but let her tears run down her cheeks. She would not let go of Lu Li’s arm as if they were going to part forever.

Bai Qiuxue patted Bai Xiashuang’s back. Finally, the latter let go of Lu Li’s hand. She turned away. She wouldn’t want Lu Li to see her cry.

Lu Li looked at Bai Xiashuang. He could not bear to leave her like this. Bai Qiuxue comforted Bai Xiashuang and wiped her tears away. She forced a smile. She hugged Lu Li again and said seriously, “Darling, don’t worry about the family. Go to the Divinity. I will work hard and try to become an immortal, so I can look for you in the Divinity.”

“Of course. Shuang-er, you have determination. Go for it!”

Lu Li grinned. Bai Xiashuang might not be able to change who she was in this lifetime. It would be harder than ever for her to concentrate and cultivate. As for if Bai Xiashuang could become an immortal…

Lu Li gave them one last look and flew away, followed by Jiang Qiling and the twins. The Divine Imperial City was empty. Lu Li and his three wives left the city and looked down. They saw a huge crowd at the plaza of the City of Great Land. The entire plaza was packed with warriors.

Lu Li and his three wives flew to the plaza, and he glanced through the crowd.

Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Lu Zhengyang, Lu Renhuang, Lu Feixue, Great Grandfather Five, Jiang Tianshun, Jiang Wuwo, Ye Luo, Prajna, Ye Xiaoxi, Ye Cha, Ke Mang, Ming Yu, Madam Yan…

So many of Lu Li’s friends and families were there. Though calm on the outside, Lu Li felt sad inside. Lu Li knew he must cherish this moment because once he ascended into the Divinity, he would have no acquaintances there.

Lu Li did not bid farewell to them one by one or else he could not leave today. He looked at them and waved his hand; he then said with a firm will, “Please wait for my return.”

“Whoosh~”

With that said, Lu Li made up his mind. He called the Deaf Taoist over. The Deaf Taoist cried into the air and changed his form before he became a shadow and vanished in between Lu Li’s eyebrows.

Lu Li flew up. People at the plaza dropped to their knees and shouted at the same time, “Goodbye, Lord Lu.”

Tens of thousands of people chanted together. Their voice shook the world. Lu Li waved to them and dashed away to the distance. However, he did not travel at the top of his speed.

The young man with a cyan robe, white-hair, and straight back moved further and further away amid the gazes of others until he disappeared into the horizon.

Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue, who had been trying hard to control themselves, wept bitterly. Bai Xiashuang cried her heart out. Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Lu Zhengyang, and Great Grandfather Five wept as well. Ming Yu, Ke Mang, and Ye Cha were filled with sadness. Lu Lin, Lu Hongyu, and Ye Luo clenched their fists.

Ye Xiaoxi turned pale and seemed at a loss. Prajna did not cry. She murmured, “Lu, you promised me that you will accept my love as long as I can go to the Divinity. Lu, wait for me. I can go to the Divinity. I will!”

In the meantime, many warriors in the nine universes felt they could breathe. Lu Li going to the Divinity meant that the Lu Family would not unify the nine universes. Though the nine universes would experience turmoil soon, they wouldn’t have to worry about the Lu Family taking any actions. Without Lu Li, the Lu Family no longer had a sharp sword. From now on, the Lu Family’s priority was how to protect themselves, not to wage war against others.

Blazing Huo and Chen Tianxian felt relieved as well. They were no longer Lu Li’s soul slaves, and Chen Tianxian was completely a free soul. But Lu Li was the mountain that was pressed against them. With Lu Li gone, the Lu family would treat Blazing Huo and Chen Tianxian with more respect. Naturally, they would do their best to protect the Lu Family’s interests.

“Finally, this malefic man is gone!”

Many warriors from families of the Earth Imperial Universe felt they could breathe. They had found out that to wage war against the families in the Earth Imperial Universe was a command from Lu Li.

Over 70% of major families in the Earth Imperial Universe were destroyed because of Lu Li’s decision. To many people, Lu Li was just like a demon. Now that the demon was gone, they didn’t have to worry about the falling sword.

Lu Li sped up after he traveled about 300 miles. He left the Earth Imperial Universe as fast as he could. He was not in a hurry, but he was afraid that he would become weak-minded and would not want to leave.

His will became firmer as he stepped into the Prison of Gold. He put the matter of the Earth Imperial Universe aside. He knew that since he made the choice, he had no chance of going back. He no longer had the luxury of time to be sentimental.

Once he ascended to the Divinity, he would be in a brand-new battleground. He would be faced with greater challenges. If he did not do his best, he could lose his life to Yan Tiangang’s strike as soon as he landed in the Divinity.

Lu Li murdered Yan Zhen and took the Relic armor and Relic weapon away from him. Lu Li breached the Divine Imperial City and ruined the Yan Family. Yan Tiangang hated Lu Li’s guts. Yan Tiangang might have sent someone to the location where Lu Li would ascend to wait. Therefore, Lu Li could be faced with the pursuit of his life as soon as he arrived!

“Let’s go!”

Lu Li knew next to nothing about the Divinity. It was pointless to bother himself with too much thinking. He decided he should adapt himself to changing circumstances.

He flew to the Prison of Ice at full speed and then to the Prison of Darkness. He crossed the Prison of Soul. At the entrance to the Prison of Thunder, he met someone he did not expect, Blood Emperor and Astro Emperor!

Remembering that Astro Emperor had unpredictable abilities, Lu Li was less surprised. He stopped and saluted the two with respect. Blood Emperor waved his hand with a humble mind. After all, Lu Li’s realm was much higher than his.

Lu Li smiled at Blood Emperor with a warm smile. Blood Emperor took Lu Li’s hands and said with mixed feelings, “Lu Li, it is a pity that we are not master and protege. But to know you is an honor for me. Go to the Divinity and explore. I will protect the Lu Family for you for as long as I am still in the nine universes.”

“Blood Emperor, thank you.” Lu Li did not say many words and just nodded with appreciation. Blood Emperor was powerful and enjoyed a high prestige. With his promise, the Lu Family would not have anything to worry about.

Astro Emperor accepted Lu Li’s salute. Stroking his goatee with a smile, Astro Emperor said, “Lu Li, there is a wider world out there waiting for you. Go for it. Don’t worry too much. You will have a promising future when you can keep the spirit of advancing bravely. Maybe by the next time we meet, you had already achieved greatness in the Divinity. By then, do not try to pretend that you don’t know me.”

“Next time?”

Lu Li was confused. Was Astro Emperor about to become an immortal as well? Lu Li wanted to find out, but Astro Emperor waved his hand. He would not give an answer.

Lu Li bid them farewell after some small talk. He rushed up the towering mountain and entered the Prison of Thunder.
