Chapter 496: Deathbed Struggle
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The Barbarian Race, Voodoo Race, Feather Race, and the Asmodians did not enjoy a harmonious relationship albeit the four races shared a common enemy. They were four different races after all. What was more, when the 10,000 races were in war, the four races would engage in battles quite often. There was deep-seated hatred among them caused by blood debt.
But this time, the four races were collaborating. The Tower of Delicacy were surrounded by warriors of the four races. Everywhere Lu Li inspected with his psychic power, he could sense the presence of alien races. There must be at least more than 3000 of them.
The four alien races minded their own businesses and they each occupied a corner of the Tower of Delicacy to attack. Each race would send out 20 or 30 powerful ones to blast at the tower while others waited for their turns.
The barbarians smashed the tower with their copper hammers. The Feather Race discharged arrows. The Asmodians threw out daggers while the Voodoo Race shot out some dark blue rays of light.
"Buzzing!"
The tower was flickering. Even though it was under the constant attack from hundreds of powerful warriors, it didn't shake much. There was a golden halo enveloping the tower. Some vague runes in the halo shielded off all the attacks.
"Something is off!"
Lu Li was in deep thoughts. The four alien races were so organized. Their targets were clear and they would advance and step back in an orderly manner. Clearly, it was a plan premeditated.
"Have they all learned about Jiang Qiling?"
Lu Li thought about it and believed this was the only explanation. Jiang Qiling received the divine energy from Emperor of Heaven Reverse and was on her way to become the true chosen warrior of the human kind. So, the four alien races were working together to kill her.
Chosen warrior!
Chosen warrior was someone that could beat all the powerful warriors of the four alien races. In the history, every time a human was selected as the chosen warrior, the four alien races would suffer greatly and be undermined. They would have to spend hundreds of years to recover. Once, the Asmodians were almost all gone. In the end, they relied on a piece of relic left behind by their ancestors to survive.
Therefore, the four alien races would not tolerate a new chosen warrior on the human side. Once someone is selected, they would invest all their efforts to kill the chosen warrior. The four alien races might all send out more warriors to the small battlefield to kill Jiang Qiling.
As for how they learned about Jiang Qiling, there must be a traitor in humans who told the royal families of the four alien races about her…
Lu Li had figured this out but it wouldn't help him in facing the battle. If he and Jiang Qiling couldn't find a way out, their bones would be smashed into pieces.
No warriors older than 30 could be granted access to the small battlefield. Even if patriarchs of the Hall of Demons and Jiang Tianshun learned about the situation, they couldn't do anything. Lu Li and Jiang Qiling would have to rely on themselves right now.
The only cause for comfort was that there was no Human Sovereign Realm warrior among the four alien races outside, no particularly gifted warrior born in the four alien races. The best of them were at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm.
Gifted warriors were not born on a daily basis. The only freakishly gifted warrior on the humans' side born over thousands of years was Lu Renhuang who reached the Human Sovereign Realm at the age of 20. Lu Li never heard of another one reaching this realm under the age of 30.
"Woo, woo, woo~"
A young lady from the Palace of Peaceful Heavens suddenly began to cry. Lu Li turned over and looked at others. Their eyes were filled with fear and despair…
"What are you crying about?"
Jiang Qiling glanced to her and scolded coldly, "When you entered the small battlefield, you should have been prepared for death. Any weepers disturbing our morale will die in my hand right now."
Jiang Qiling's threat was effective. The young lady stopped crying at once but she was still scared. They knew before they came here that they were sent in to protect Jiang Qiling and to die for her.

Maybe they all chanted the slogan loudly but they were still afraid and scared when they really came to it. They were all born in major families. They had a beautiful life to be enjoyed and a promising future ahead. Many of them hadn't married so naturally death was not something they hoped for at this point.
The desire for survival and selfishness was in the nature of humans.
Lu Li understood it. He looked at Jiang Qiling and asked, "How long do you think the Tower of Delicacy can hold out under this kind of attack?"
Jiang Qiling closed her eyes to sense the energy left. She nodded and said, "If our enemies don't increase their powers and no Human Sovereign Realm warrior shows up, we have 10 days."
"Okay!"
Lu Li walked into the only room, stood at the door and said, "I want to cultivate for a couple of days to try to strengthen my abilities. Jiang Qiling, go and cultivate as well. If you can use your divine energy, we still have a chance to survive. Jiang Hu and the rest of you, try something to increase your abilities. The situation cannot be changed. Fear is meaningless. Every progress we make will enhance our chance of survival."
They all felt assured somehow looking at how collected Lu Li was. Jiang Qiling was about to lose her mind but now she pulled herself together. She followed him into the room and said, "Jiang Hu, we are going to cultivate now. If anyone of them acts strangely, just kill him or her. Don't lose all your hope. Have you heard any chosen warrior dying like this?"
Hope rekindled for the team. Their eyes glowed. Lu Li and Jiang Qiling entered the room and closed the door. Jiang Hu and others tried to monitor the situation with their psychic powers. After a while, they sensed that the Tower of Delicacy could not be broken now so they made up their mind and began to cultivate.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
"Bang, bang, bang~"
"Crack, crack, crack~"
The attacks outside were never ending. The Tower of Delicacy kept glaring. There were too many alien races outside. Being surrounded by such a big group of alien races could be daunting for the team. The alien races were disciplined and well trained. Clearly, they were led by royal family leaders and they would not leave until they crack the Tower of Delicacy.
Lu Li went to closed-door cultivation as soon as he entered the room. He forced himself to calm down. In the critical moment of life and death, people's desire of survival would be stimulated and potentials would be tapped out. People could make great achievements in desperate times. This was a fact.
Hence, the next couple of days were crucial. If he was lucky, Lu Li's abilities could progress leaps and bounds. It all came down to his fortune.
Jiang Qilling walked over and sat next to Lu Li. She was never afraid of death. She was happy if she could die with Lu Li. At this moment, she was very composed. Soon, she began to focus her mind on cultivation and began to study the usage of divine energy.
Jiang Qiling had a clear idea of what to do but not Lu Li.
Soul attacks could be good and if his soul attacks could be increased by dozens or hundreds of times, he could make a clean sweep of large group. However…his soul was too weak and his psychic power was not strong. It was objective limitation.
Lu Li denied the idea of studying soul attacks. There was no way he could elevate his realm right now. The only way left for him was to study Profound Meanings.
If he could enhance his mastery of Profound Meaning, his fighting abilities would be enhanced as well. He could either try to learn a new Profound Meaning or further his understanding of the ones known to him.
Lu Li chose the second path. He didn't focus on the Mirror Image Profound Meaning. Generating more clones would not have any pragmatic influence.
He chose to study the Speed Profound Meaning. If he could increase his speed again, he could run away with Jiang Qiling easily.
"Tornado? Wind? Speed?"
The picture of tornados at the area of demons appeared in Lu Li's mind. He worked to recall the situation, to deduce and to sense the rule and order contained in heaven and earth.
As everyone was cultivating, the Tower of Delicacy was quiet, a sharp contrast to the murderous atmosphere outside.
There were nearly 100 alien race warriors making incessant attacks and they spared no effort. They were convinced that before long, this turtle shell-like tower's energy would exhaust and it would fall apart. By that time, they could tear all the humans into pieces!
