"Boom, boom, boom!"
Nearly one hundred Semi-God Realm warriors attacked together. It was a splendid scene.
Every Semi-God Realm warrior had different ways of attacking. Some used Bloodline Skills, and some used Profound Meanings — someone's attack was like a galaxy falling down, some used meteorites, some used dragons of water, some used phantoms of strange beasts, and some used clones of people to smash at the city …
It was a splendid scene. Lu Li used psychic power to check. Nobody was pretending. Everyone was doing their best.
But the effect was not obvious. There was a black shield outside the Divine Imperial City that was shining in a dark light. Despite the number of attacks, the shield did not tremble at all. Instead, it was glowing brighter.
"Immortal's body, go!"
Lu Li sent out the immortal's body to attack the city. Unfortunately, the immortal's body's attacks could not change the shield.
The Divine Imperial City was like a sturdy shield, unbreakable and indestructible.
Lu Li did not take any actions. He floated in the air, looking at the warriors calmly and supervising them.
After a while, Lu Renhuang could not sit still anymore. He joined the attack. He released many icicles and smashed at the city like sharp swords.
Time moved on. It had been more than four hours and nothing had changed in the Divine Imperial City.
Lu Li did not take any actions. He stayed in the rear and supervised the others. He could clearly feel that many people were slowing down and their attacks were weakening …
Morale was declining. The first spurt of energy was followed by the second and the third.
After all, attacking the Divine Imperial City could not bring direct benefits to some people. Many did not hold deep-seated hatred against the Yan Family. Inevitably, the Semi-God Realm warriors were frustrated when nothing happened after such a long time.
Not only those people, but even Lu Li was a bit frustrated.
With so many Semi-God Realm warriors attacking an average city, they could have smashed it in one strike.
The Divine Imperial City was known as the most powerful city in the nine universes. Over the course of history, immortals had attacked the city, and more than one.
In the end, all of them returned in failure. How could they break a city that even immortals could not?
"Ha, ha!"
Yan Hu's mocking voice came from the city, "Don't slack off. Keep up the attack. The Divine Imperial City has plenty of energy. You have been attacking for 500 years. I think the shield outside the city will be weakened a bit.
In two or three thousand years … the Divine Imperial City will be breached. Work hard. "
Yan Hu's words weakened the morale of the people outside, even though they all knew that Yan Hu was exaggerating.
That being said, the Divine Imperial City was strong and had been absorbing energy for hundreds of thousands of years. It would take hundreds of years for the city to be breached.
Continuously attacking for a few hundred years?
Not to mention that some old monsters did not have much lifespan left, it was unknown whether they could live for another few hundred years. Even if they had enough lifespan, who would continuously bombard them for several hundred years?
Even if he didn't die of exhaustion, he probably wouldn't be able to persevere in such a boring task for a few years, right?
"Hahaha!"
Lu Li laughed out loud and replied, "Yan Hu, don't think that you are so great just because the Divine Imperial City is a Relic.
Even though Yan Zhen was wearing a divine artifact battle armor, she was still killed by me.
Recently, I have been studying Inhibition Formations and I know a lot about them. Give me some time to study. Later, I will break the Divine Imperial City myself! "
"Buzzing!"
Lu Li went back into the Wicked Bead and said, "Guys, let's work harder and consume the energy of the Divine Imperial City. Later on, I will do it myself. I promise that the Divine Imperial City will be breached. By then, you will all be rewarded handsomely."
Lu Li's words ignited a glimmer of hope. Yan Zhen was wearing a Relic armor and yet he was killed by Lu Li. This was an undeniable fact.
Maybe, Lu Li could really breach the Divine Imperial City.
This time, Lu Li did not go to the inner hall. Instead, he went to the hall filled with books on Inhibition Formations.
He decided to spend some time studying Inhibition Formations. He could not become an immortal any time soon. Besides, even if he did become an immortal, would he be able to breach the Divine Imperial City?
The tens of thousands of books in the hall were all about Inhibition Formations and Divinities. Maybe, there was a way to crack the Divine Imperial City.
"Deaf Taoist, Blazing Huo!"
Lu Li sent another message, "I will cultivate to study Inhibition Formations and Divinities. You two, supervise the battle.
If anyone is slacking or pretending to agree but secretly disobeys, you will deal with them. "
"Eh …"
Many people felt chills running down their spines. Lu Li had placed two swords on their backs.
Both of them were Lu Li's soul slaves and they would carry out Lu Li's orders.
If anyone dared to slack off, the two of them would kill without saying a word …
At once, they gathered their spirits and kept on attacking. They had made up their minds to attack for several months so that Lu Li would not be able to say anything.
Even if they could not breach the Divine Imperial City, they would not be blamed.
Lu Li did not care about what was going on outside. He sent He Yue over. She would alert him if anything happened.
He began to read the books in the hall, trying to find a way to crack the Divine Imperial City.
The Divine Imperial City must be breached. Lu Li must have the Relic, the Divine Imperial City.
This was the only way to ensure that when he went to the Divinity, the Lu Family would not have to worry about him.
He browsed through the books quickly. In an afternoon, he found three books on cracking Divinities.
However …
When he went through the books, he realized that he could not understand many of them.
He did not know much about Inhibition Formations. He could not understand some of the professional jargon, let alone understand them.
In other words, if he wanted to understand the three books, he must learn the basics of Inhibition Formations systematically. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to study the three books.
"Alas …"
Lu Li did not want to learn about Inhibition Formations. However, he had no other choice. He had nowhere else to go.
He thought for a moment. After all, the Heaven Reverse Universe and the Prison of Wood were safe. He had all the time in the world. He planned to spend a few months learning about Inhibition Formations systematically.
"Encyclopedia of Inhibition Formations!"
He took out a book of the lowest level and began to study with full attention, bit by bit.
His soul was strong now. He had been consuming soul-nurturing elixirs all the time. His soul was growing stronger.
The stronger a person's soul was, the more capable he would be in learning.
Lu Li was a fast learner. He could understand many things at once. His learning progressed at a tremendous pace.
Lu Li was fascinated as soon as he started. He realized that the study of Inhibition Formations was not boring at all. Many theories were similar to Profound Meanings.
When warriors cultivated, they would start by refining their bodies and cultivating Xuan Energy.
They would absorb energy from heaven and earth to strengthen themselves.
Later on, to learn Profound Meanings, they would borrow energy from heaven and earth to release powerful attacks.
Formations and restrictions were similar. The only difference was that low-level formations and restrictions relied on some miraculous formation patterns and natural oddities to release a powerful force.
The high-level Inhibition Formations could also borrow energy from heaven and earth to form powerful attacks and defenses or to enhance warriors' abilities …
At the end of the day, warriors' cultivation and Inhibition Formations were all about borrowing energy from heaven and earth to form miraculous abilities.
"Good, good!"
