The Invincible Dragon Emperor

The Underworld Realm was covered with rivers, and some of those rivers were connected with each other. The battle between the two patriarchs and the stocks of fishes inevitably alerted other stronger Xuan Beasts around. Several rivers surged violently. Dozens of strong Xuan Beasts had gathered.

That being said!

The Xuan Beasts were only strong if they were compared with the stocks of fishes. As far as Patriarch Sun was concerned, those Xuan Beasts were not nearly as capable enough.

“Bang!”

From a river leaped forth a large sea serpent covered in dark, iron-like scales. The sea serpent swung its stiff tail. It rushed towards Patriarch Sun in order to strike him.

“Go away…”

Patriarch Sun took out a big ax. He did not use any Profound Meaning. Rather, he wielded the ax and hit the sea serpent at its tail. Sparkles were ignited. Several scales fell off. The sea serpent’s tail lost strength, and the sea serpent turned around and snuck back into the river.

“Swish, swish~”

Water was swirling in a river to the right. Dragons of water rose and were projected toward another patriarch.

“Insignificant skill!”

This patriarch made a determined move. He generated a black hand and smashed at the dragons of water which fell apart in an instant. The water splashed in all directions, but the patriarch pushed the black hand further down.

“Bang~”

The water in this river sunk, revealing a deep vortex. On both sides, the water was roaring on, stirring up waves. Some low-level Xuan Beasts in the river died due to the direct impact. A large jellyfish appeared, but its body was already in pieces.

“Bang, bang, bang~”

The other patriarchs resorted to different Profound Meanings, Bloodline skills, and other methods. Rivers around were shattered, and many Xuan Beasts died. However, from all sides came more Xuan Beasts as if there were an infinite amount of them.

“Amazing, impressive!”

Bai Xiashuang clapped. It was not often that she could witness such a battle. With so many Xuan Beasts here, the scene was stunning. She held Lu Li’s hands, pointed to the distance and chatted on.

“Ha, ha!”

Lu Li smiled. He checked the surroundings with psychic power in case some powerful Xuan Beasts were hiding.

After a while, a glint of coldness rose in his eyes. He glanced to a river downstream and said to Little White, “Little White, a stinky sea eel is trying to sneak up on us. Take care of it.”

“Squeak, squeak~”

Little White’s hair stood on its root. Its eyes glowed coldly as Little White dashed toward the said river at a lightning speed.

“What…”

Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue heard Lu Li. They looked over the direction where the eel was and to their surprise, there really was an eel that was hiding. If not checked carefully, the eel would not be discovered.

“Whoosh~”

The white eel moved away as soon as Little White charged at it. It had six horns that were lighting up. The eel generated white lightning bolts and attempted to electrocute Little White.

“Swish, swish~”

Little White was struck and stopped moving at once. It was trembling. But Little White’s eyes were twinkling.

“Alas, dear, will Little White be okay?” Bai Xiashuang asked nervously, seeing that Little White could not move.

“Ha, ha, ha!”

Lu Li laughed out loud. Little White could probably be hurt by other forms of attack.

But Lightning bolts? Those were nutrients for Little White. It was not moving because it wanted to absorb more lightning. In other words, Little White was enjoying itself.

Knowing that the eel’s mode of attack was lightning, Lu Li turned away and focused his psychic power on other places. After a moment, he said, “Finish this soon. The rivers here are small. I don’t suppose there are much powerful Xuan Beasts here. Beast Kings and Beast Gods are too large for these rivers.”

It had been a long time since the battle started. The most powerful of the Xuan Beasts were of the sixth rank. Lu Li had lost interest.

The patriarchs responded to Lu Li’s orders and resorted to their most powerful means of attack. Under the ferocious attack, many Xuan Beasts were killed. On the contrary, none of the patriarchs were hurt.

“Squeak, squeak~”

Little White stopped fooling around. It dashed to the eel’s neck and bit it off right away. Little White came back and stood on Bai Xiashuang’s shoulder.

“Let’s go~”

Lu Li came in to find the Beast Gods. He was not interested in killing those regular Xuan Beasts. Once the Beast God was killed, he would dispatch some patriarchs and some of his armies here to kill the other Xuan Beasts of the small world and harvest the Mystical Materials.

They flew on. Great rivers were everywhere, and they housed countless Xuan Beasts. Wherever Lu Li was at, the Xuan Beasts would gather with no exception.

“Go downstream along the river!”

Lu Li waved his hand after a while. The streams converged into rivers and then to bigger ones. There must be a great river where the powerful Xuan Beasts nestled in.

As Lu Li had expected!

The further downstream they went, the more powerful Xuan Beasts they would encounter. Average Xuan Beasts became fewer as they went further. Lu Li did not take actions in person. After all, five people in this group were at the Earth Immortal Realm already, and they all had impressive methods. Dealing with Beast Kings for them was a piece of cake.

“Go to hell—”

Patriarch Sun was the most capable of them all and the Profound Meaning he studied was the strongest, being able to incur destruction. Profound Meanings of such kind were the most ferocious of all. A Beast King flew up but was killed by Patriarch Sun at once.

“Oh my god…”

Bai Xiashuang exclaimed. Her realm was low. Even so, she could feel the strength in Patriarch Sun’s move. She believed he could crack open a mountain in one move.

“Darling, when we return, I need to cultivate as well. I want to be as good as Patriarch Sun. He can kill a Beast King in one move. That is awesome.”

Bai Xiashuang said. Lu Li smiled but did not say anything.

Bai Qiuxue added, “Shuang-er, you are not a kid anymore and you do need to cultivate. Think about it… when our husband ascends to heaven, he will not be able to come back any time soon. If you do not cultivate and cannot become an immortal… I am afraid you will not be able to see our husband for a long time.”

Even though Bai Qiuxue whispered to Bai Xiashuang, both Jiang Qiling and Lu Li heard what she said. Jiang Qiling and Bai Xiashuang’s eyes dimmed. Lu Li was taken aback. This question never crossed his mind. Now that he thought about it, it deserved attention.

Yes…

He had the line diagram. As long as he kept studying it, the chances of him becoming an immortal were great. After all, the line diagram was the legacy of Emperor Heng. The Emperor of Heaven Reverse told Lu Li in person to look for him in the Divinity, and that he would accept Lu Li as his protege.

Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven Reverse must have seen something and believed that Lu Li was very likely to ascend to the Divinity.

Lu Li himself wanted to go as well because he had to find Lu Ling. Besides, he longed to see the Divinity.

The thing was, it would be hard for him to come back after going to the Divinity. Why else would the Emperor of Heaven Reverse return after so many years? Why else would Emperor Heng lose his life soon upon returning?

When he ascended to the Divinity, what would Bai Xiashuang, Bai Qiuxue, and Jiang Qiling do? If they could not ascend to the Divinity, would they and Lu Li be separated forever and never to meet again in this lifetime?
