Lu Li began to cultivate again to study the Method of Stone Golems.
This time, it was a smooth process. In merely two months, Lu Li had learned the Profound Meaning of Earth.
It was as if learning anything in the transcendent state was easy. Of course, the Profound Meaning of Earth was the simplest one.
This Profound Meaning was not that useful. It could only utilize the force of earth. After all, he could make some clay figurines, shake the earth, or collapse a hill …
With the Profound Meaning of Earth and the three other skills, the first level of the Method of Stone Golems would be completed.
The first level would not be of much use. All Lu Li could do was to make some puppets that were as powerful as Earth Immortal Realm warriors. A Semi-God Realm warrior could easily defeat a group of puppets of this level.
That being said, Lu Li was starting to learn this skill. He poured his heart and soul into it.
A month later, he learned the first skill. Another one and a half months later, he learned the second skill.
The third skill took longer. It took Lu Li two months to learn the first level of the Method of Stone Golems.
"Time to finish cultivation!"
Though he was exhausted both physically and mentally, Lu Li was still excited.
He dashed out of the Wicked Bead. He used psychic power to check and found that Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue were cultivating. Bai Xiashuang was not here. He flew out from the base camp and into the depths of the Inferno.
Lu Li's hands glowed in a yellowish glow. The ground began to tremble. Then, rocks and dirt began to surge up. Soon, a Stone Golem with a height of one hundred feet was formed.
Lu Li's hands glowed in a yellowish glow. He kept firing at the Stone Golem. After 12 strikes, the Stone Golem began to shrink.
In the end, the one hundred feet tall Stone Golem shrank to about ten feet. That being said, the energy from the Stone Golem was profound. Lu Li gestured to a hill not far away.
The Stone Golem seemed to be made of molten iron. It looked like a human but without facial features. The Stone Golem could move. Its lines were beautiful and it had a sense of strength.
"Whoosh!"
The Stone Golem stomped on the ground. It dashed over like a sharp sword and punched at the hill.
"Boom!"
The stone peak exploded and gravel flew everywhere. At that moment, Lu Li's eyes lit up like stars.
The speed at which the stone golem flew and the power of that punch were no different from that of an Earth Immortal.
"Continue!"
Lu Li pointed to another direction and the Stone Golem dashed over quickly. The Stone Golem smashed at another stone peak with its iron fist. Another stone peak was crushed at once.
The stone man was extremely powerful and did not know any other divine abilities. He completely relied on his powerful attacks.
Lu Li made a hand gesture and the Stone Golems flew back. The Bead of Life came out from Lu Li's abdomen. He generated some Feather Wind weapons and struck at the Stone Golems.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The horrifying Feather Wind weapons landed on the stone golems, making muffled noises.
The stone man managed to fend off a few Feather Wind weapons. However, as the weapons behind him continued their assault, the stone man eventually exploded into pieces.
"His defense, strength and speed are on par with an Earth Immortal!"
Lu Li knew the power of Feather Wind weapons. At this moment, he had verified the comprehensive abilities of the Stone Golems. He nodded in satisfaction. God of Sorcerer did not lie to him. This skill was powerful.
"Rise —"
Soon, Lu Li generated another Stone Golem and tested it again. He was sure that the Stone Golem was stable. It would not collapse as long as it was not under strong attacks.
Lu Li tried to make more Stone Golems. He was quite fast. In the time for dozens of breaths, he could make one. In total, he had made over a hundred.
When there were more than one hundred, Lu Li felt his soul was weak. He stopped.
"It seems that making Stone Golems requires a lot of spiritual energy. Such a shame!"
Lu Li had thought that tens of thousands of Stone Golems could drown the enemies, which would be a magnificent scene. Now, he realized that he had been overthinking.
That being said, Lu Li was satisfied that he could make one hundred Stone Golems. The key now was to reach the second level of the Stone Golems.
Only then could the Stone Golems be as strong as Semi-God Realm warriors. Otherwise, with his current abilities, he could make one million Stone Golems.
"Disperse!"
Lu Li generated a hand gesture. The one hundred Stone Golems fell apart and turned into piles of mud.
"Go back and cultivate!"
On his way back to the base camp, Lu Li calculated the time.
It had been almost a year since he started cultivating twice. If everything went well, warriors of the nine universes would come to the Heaven Reverse Universe in a year.
"A year?"
Lu Li sighed to himself. It had taken him five months to learn the first level of the Method of Stone Golems. The second level would require him to learn three Profound Meanings related to earth and 12 secret skills. How could he learn all of them in one year?
"What should I do if I cannot learn the Stone Golems?"
Lu Li was troubled. Could he kill all the Semi-God Realm warriors by relying solely on God of Barbarian and God of Sorcerer?
What if they left the Demon-slaying Battleground and went to the Great Land to slaughter?
What should Lu Li do then?
"I should check on the Dragon Demon!"
Lu Li decided to go to the place where the Dragon Demon lived. Great Grandfather Five had been delivering eggs of the Feiyi Beast.
Since Lu Li came back, the Dragon Demon had been feeding. Lu Li wondered if its abilities had improved.
The Dragon Demon was sleeping when Lu Li arrived at the valley. Sensing Lu Li's arrival, the Dragon Demon opened its eyes.
To Lu Li's disappointment, the Dragon Demon did not seem to have grown much after a year.
It must be because the bodies of the Master of Silver Dragon and the Three-legged Golden Toad were too strong.
Lu Li told the warriors to guard the Dragon Demon and not cut off its food supply. Then, he went back to the base camp.
Upon his return, he asked Ye Cha about the Great Land and the situation at the Demon-slaying Battleground.
The Great Land was doing well. Tens of millions of elite disciples had been relocated to the Great Land. Even if there were to be a catastrophe, at least the human race at the Great Land could survive.
Lu Li was glad that Ke Mang had successfully built powerful formations of destruction and illusion. He was not as anxious and worried as before.
"Cultivate. Success or not, I must do my best!"
It was the last year. Whether he could survive or survive this disaster would depend on whether the gods would bless the people of the Heaven Reverse Universe.
"Gods?"
Lu Li suddenly remembered Emperor of Heaven Reverse. If God of Wings, God of Barbarian and God of Sorcerer could generate an avatar, then Emperor of Heaven Reverse, as a mighty warrior in the Divinity, could do the same.
All the people of the Heaven Reverse Universe worshiped Emperor of Heaven Reverse. They were his people. Would Emperor of Heaven Reverse stand by and do nothing when warriors of the nine universes came to the Heaven Reverse Universe to slaughter?
"Yes!"
