Chapter 1118: The Spirits of the Deceased

“Hiss, hiss~”

The huge, golden pythons hovered in the air. In total, there were 12 pythons and each one was over one hundred feet long. The pythons seemed to have real bodies, instead of being mere shadows.

The 12 golden pythons roared and dashed toward Lu Li and the immortal’s body from several sides. The pythons were frightful, just like Mythical Creature-to-be.

More intimidating that the 12 pythons were the Relic weapon’s spirit. The spirit came roaring by. That horrifying energy enveloped Lu Li. He felt it was the might of an immortal. He was suffocated and it appeared that he could not move.

“Hmm!”

Lu Li snorted. A glow came from between his eyebrows as Dragon Demon came out. The Dragon Demon charged toward the 12 pythons and Lu Li let the immortal’s body to defend the Relic’s spirit.

The Dragon Demon was strong. It might be weaker than the immortal’s body, but it would not be a problem for the Dragon Demon to stop the 12 pythons.

The immortal’s body had shrunk. Still, he was over 10 feet tall. He moved forward and stood in front of Lu Li. Instantly, Lu Li felt the pressure was decreasing. He moved downward and swung his saber at Yan Zhen.

“Swish~”

Yan Zhen had just wanted to come over to find a chance to attack Lu Li. To his dismay, Lu Li had dodged away easily and was taking fast actions. Yan Zhen saw red again and was immersed in that world of blood.

As soon as Yan Zhen lost his mind, the 12 pythons lost control. They stopped in the air. The Dragon Demon dashed over and defeated the pythons one by one with its huge claws and a swing of its tail.

“Boom!”

The Relic’s spirit bumped into the immortal’s body who stepped back for several hundred feet. The Relic’s spirit flew back in a blur. The immortal’s body came back to Lu Li’s side, unharmed. The immortal’s body was too strong to suffer any injury from the Relic’s spirit.

“Boom~”

Yan Zhen was smashed away. Upon waking up, he found himself hampered down with anxiety. Blood had oozed out from the corner of his mouth. His injury was serious. He couldn’t even suppress down the blood.

He inspected his body. In his internal organs and many other parts of his body, there was some chilly energy lurking. This energy was corroding his body, destroying his physical functions.

He could not dispel this energy any time soon. Because Lu Li’s attack was continuous, soon, Yan Zhen would lose himself in that world of blood again…

“Is this some sort of skill? Supreme skill from the Divinity? Is it from Emperor of Heaven Reverse Universe?”

Yan Zhen wondered. Lu Li’s moves were horrifying. Not only could he leverage strength from heaven and earth, but there were also strong soul attack and that chilly energy in his moves. If it were not for the fact that Yan Zhen had Relic weapon and armor, he would have been ripped into pieces within one move regardless of the fact that he was at the peak of the Semi-God Realm or how strong he was.

It was evident that Lu Li had just reached the Semi-God Realm. A warrior at this realm could not master such strong skills. The only explanation was that this skill was passed down from the Divinity. It was Emperor of Heaven Reverse that supported Lu Li. Therefore, the skill should be from the Emperor of Heaven Reverse. However, Yan Tiangang never heard that Emperor of Heaven Reverse had such strong skills.

At the very least, say that Emperor of Heaven Reverse could pass a strong skill to Lu Li, how could he learn it at his realm? Yan Zhen learned two skills from the Divinity and that took him one hundred years. And how old was Lu Li?

“Swish~”

Yan Zhen no longer had the time to think. Lu Li had taken action again. Yan Zhen was knocked away. After he woke up this time, he didn’t stay on the spot. He dashed into the distance. He wanted to go to the Waters Region and return to the Divine Imperial Universe.

Yan Zhen had Relic armor and weapon that could launch powerful strikes. But Lu Li’s moves were strange. Yan Zhen could be defeated himself, which disabled him from taking action to fight back. With the immortal’s body’s help, Lu Li could be fast. Therefore, to kill Lu Li any time soon would be difficult.

Lu Li could launch remote attacks to freeze Yan Zhen. On the other hand, if Yan Zhen wanted to fight back, Lu Li could let the immortal’s body to protect him. Considering the situation, Yan Zhen had no chance to eliminate Lu Li.

Yan Zhen would have to run away while his injuries were not fatal. He had to escape to the Waters Region. That tunnel was not far away. He should be able to make it.

As for whether Lu Li would chase him to the Waters Region, this was no longer on Yan Zhen’s mind. He had to think of a way while he ran.

“Boom, boom, boom~”

Yan Zhen was smashed away time after time. The chilly energy in his body was increasing. He was no longer in the mood to fight Lu Li. Every time he came to, he would take healing pellets immediately, and at the same time, he would use Xuan Energy to try to expel the chilly energy.

He was well aware that—if he let the chilly energy spread—at a certain stage, the energy would explode and he would be ripped apart.

But he could not figure out how the chilly energy entered his body through the Relic armor and he didn’t feel it at all when the energy seeped through.

“Wait!”

Yan Zhen remembered that world of blood. He now understood. When he was in that world of blood, that energy entered his body quietly. That should be a strange kind of energy, a kind that could go past Relic armor.

On his way of escape, Yan Zhen was smashed away many times.

Yan Zhen felt more frustrated because he could not expel that chilly energy at all. The best of the healing pellets he was taking were of no help at all. The chilly energy had covered up all of his internal organs and the healing pellets could not seep in. The efficacy was stopped by that chilly energy.

“Poof~”

After he was knocked away again, Yan Zhen spat out some blood. He could not help it. His face was pale since the internal injury was growing worse. He was frightened. Since he had taken control of the Relic armor and weapon, he never thought of the possibility that he might die someday.

He regretted his decisions. He wished he could have killed Lu Li just now. Who would believe that Lu Li could progress so rapidly and gain the upper hand within such a short time?

Running and stopping, being attacked. The chilly energy within Yan Zhen’s body was growing. The injuries on his internal organs were worsening. He looked sicklier and was even slowing down a bit.

At a certain stage, body injuries would not cause fatal dangers to a warrior. Even being stabbed over a dozen times or having his heart pierced, a powerful warrior could contain the spread of injury and keep on fighting.

Yan Zhen could survive several months given his strength if it were just some minor injuries. But in this case, the chilly energy was peculiar. This energy was lingering in his internal organs and could not be driven out or dissolved. The energy also wrapped his internal organs that stopped the healing effect to enter.

A warrior would eventually pass away when the internal organs were destroyed. Once the blood stopped moving, breathing would also stop.

“Faster, faster, faster!”

Yan Zhen escaped quickly. All he could think about was to go to the Waters Region and use some skills to stall Lu Li so that he could have enough time to ruin the tunnel. In that way, he could be safe.

Yan Zhen was not far away from that tunnel. It was about two hours away. But given that he would be smashed away every now and then, he could not keep at his full speed. When he arrived, it was four hours later.

His eyes glowed when he saw that huge black hole in the distance. His mouth was full of blood and his injuries were worsening. That being said, at the very least, he saw the hope of getting out.

“Boom!”

However—

Before he could go closer to that spatial tunnel, he heard a noise coming from that direction and that tunnel collapsed right in front of him…

“Do you think you can get away?”

Lu Li’s eyes were still red. He was in a sane mind, though. Sneering, he said, “Yan Zhen, you have slaughtered so many people of the Heaven Reverse Universe and so many innocent people were persecuted to death. This time, I will take your head and comfort the spirits of the deceased!”
