Lu Li was not far away from the entrance of the Tomb of King Luna, only several hundred miles away.
Though he was not as fast as God of Wings, she was still several hundred miles away. It was impossible for Lu Li to catch up with her in an instant.
"Roar, roar ~"
The Mountain Guardian was still bellowing, filled with killing intent. Dozens of powerful warriors were restraining the Mountain Guardian.
Lu Li was getting closer. He was slowed down by the Mountain Guardian's killing intent. He felt the coldness piercing to his bones. If it were not for the fact that he was holding on, he would not even be able to lift his legs.
From all sides, people were dashing toward the abyss below the Mountain Guardian. Lu Li's arrival caught some attention but nobody paid him any mind.
Nobody would mind as long as he could go into the Tomb of King Luna.
Just because he could go in did not mean that he could fight for the treasures with the disciples of the eight major sects or come back alive.
Throughout history, nine out of ten warriors who went into the Tomb of Ancients would lose their lives. Lu Li wanted to go in and get the treasures with his limited abilities?
To many powerful warriors, this was no different from committing suicide.
God of Wings and the others behind Lu Li did catch some attention. However, God of Wings was only an immortal on the list and she was accompanied by five prefecture warriors.
Many powerful warriors paid attention but they did not mind. If God of Wings were to act recklessly, they could kill her easily.
"Lu Li, in history, nine out of ten warriors that went into the Tomb of King Luna died in there. You will not survive if you go in."
Seeing that Lu Li was about to reach the abyss below the Mountain Guardian, God of Wings was getting impatient. She said to Lu Li, "Don't go in there and court death. I can swear an almighty oath that I will not kill you.
I don't want the Slayer's move. I don't even want the Wicked Bead. You just need to give me a copy of the books in the Wicked Bead. What do you say? "
God of Wings was only thirty miles away from Lu Li. In fact, she could attack Lu Li now.
However, there were so many powerful warriors over there. If she acted rashly, she might cause a misunderstanding and be killed. She had to settle for the next best thing and negotiate with Lu Li.
She could not go into the Tomb of King Luna. If Lu Li were to die in there, the Wicked Bead would remain in the Tomb of King Luna forever.
She had been scheming for so long, and it would all come to nothing.
"Hehe!"
Lu Li looked back at God of Wings with a mocking smile. Without saying anything, Lu Li made up his mind to fight back the violent killing intent. Once again, he sped up and dashed on like a wild beast.
Five li, three li, one li!
The giant Mountain Guardian roared, twisted, and struggled in midair.
Its black scales, which were as large as a person's body, emitted a cold aura. Its towering body was filled with a terrifying might, and its pair of green eyes seemed to be able to hook people's souls out.
"Charge!"
Lu Li bellowed. He used Burning Blood skill to enhance his physical strength. Divine energy surged in his body. He lifted his heavy legs and leaped toward the abyss.
"No …"
God of Wings watched as Lu Li fell into the abyss. The light in her eyes dimmed down.
This time, she had spent almost all of her savings. She had given away many Divine Sources and treasures just for the Wicked Bead. However, she got nothing.
Her eyes were filled with anger and hatred. She almost lost control of her impulse and dashed into the abyss.
However, the last bit of reason stopped her. The Tomb of King Luna was famous in southern Divinity. Those over one hundred years old could not go in. Those who tried to force their way in could be killed by powerful Inhibition Formations.
"Oh no!"
Lu Li would definitely die in the Tomb of King Luna. The Wicked Bead would be lost to her forever.
She was filled with regret. She should have asked Li Qiang and the others to kill Lu Li at the Valley of Vicissitudes. In this way, the Wicked Bead would be hers.
"Never mind. I am not fated to have this Relic. Not fated …"
God of Wings stood in a daze for a moment. She waved her hand to the others and flew away with the five of them.
The people here were from the eight sects and she was from the Office of Creation. If she stayed here for too long, she would be in trouble. She might even lose her life.
…
"Um ~"
After jumping into the abyss, Lu Li felt he had fallen into a whirlpool. The world was spinning.
His mind was in a daze. He felt his body spinning non-stop, and he didn't know how long it would take.
"Bang!"
After a long time, it could be the time for several incense sticks to burn or a day, Lu Li finally felt he landed on the ground.
He could not control his body. He rolled around on the ground. As soon as he crawled up, he began to vomit.
Shaking his head, Lu Li came back to his senses. At once, he used psychic power to check the surroundings.
"Um!"
After investigating for a while, he was slightly startled because he had appeared in an ancient and vast hall.
He used the word "vast" because he could not see the end of the hall from three sides. He could not tell how large the hall was.
There were many people in the hall, at least three or four thousand. Among them, at least five hundred were from the eight sects.
Those from the eight sects gathered together and discussed in a low voice. They paid no attention to the immortals that came in alone.
Occasionally, they would throw a glance at Lu Li, but they would be arrogant and condescending, with a hint of mockery and pity.
Lu Li crawled up, retreated to a corner and sat down in a low profile. Others were doing the same, sitting in silence. Nobody dared to speak or provoke those from the eight sects.
Fortunately, the disciples of the eight sects did not intend to kill all of them. Maybe, to the disciples of the eight sects, small fries like Lu Li would be sent to their deaths, which was pointless.
Su Zixi once told Lu Li about the 72 sects. He said that apart from the four legendary forces, the 72 sects were the most powerful.
It was said that the masters of the 72 sects were either super mighty warriors with strong abilities or supreme warriors in the Divinity.
Lu Li did not move since no one moved. He sat in a corner and listened to the conversation, trying to get some information.
The disciples of the eight sects gathered together and talked in a low voice. Lu Li listened for a while and gained some useful information.
They had not completely entered the Tomb of King Luna yet. It would take some time before the real door could be opened.
Later, there would be 10 doors in the hall. They could enter any one of them. The degree of danger inside would depend on one's luck.
The Tomb of King Luna contained many treasures. It was said that King Luna once ranked third on the list and was the master of a super force.
Later on, for some unknown reason, the force he was in was destroyed overnight. King Luna vanished without a trace.
Ten thousand years later, King Luna reappeared. He destroyed a super force all by himself, but he was on the verge of death.
He placed all the treasures he obtained from his sect and the destroyed Divinity's sect in the Tomb of King Luna, waiting for the destined one to come and get them.
The amount of treasures in the Tomb of King Luna was astounding. But the danger was equally appalling.
The Tomb of King Luna would be opened once every one thousand years. Every time, many people would enter the Tomb of King Luna. In the end, less than ten percent could make it out alive.
That being said, those who could make it out alive had gained something, more or less. It was said that many had obtained supreme Relics, skills, materials, and so on.
Lu Li also learned that if one did not want to explore the Tomb of King Luna, one could stay in the hall. This place was absolutely safe.
But one must stay here for a thousand years and wait for the next time the Tomb of King Luna was opened. Only then would one be sent out automatically.
"A thousand years …"
Lu Li gave up on the idea when he heard this. He would go mad if he did not suffocate to death if he stayed here for a thousand years.
"Let me have a try."
Lu Li pursed his lips and made up his mind. He did not expect to find any treasures in there. All he wanted was to leave the Tomb of King Luna safely.
