This time, Lu Li was not in a hurry. He sat down and rested for a while. Sharpening the axe would not delay the work.
After half a day's rest, Lu Li observed the surroundings quietly.
After a while, he began to make Stone Golems. As his hand glowed with a yellowish glow, Stone Golems came into being around him.
"Go ~"
After dozens of Stone Golems were made, Lu Li controlled one of them to jump into the canyon while he checked with psychic power.
"Whoosh ~"
The stone man smashed into the magma like a boulder, but the magma didn't explode and didn't even create a puddle.
Before the Stone Golem could get close to the lava, it turned into ashes. By the time it fell into the lava, only ashes were left …
"Hiss, hiss ~"
The Stone Golems were formed from stone, and the more the stone burned in the flames, the harder it became.
However, before the Stone Golem could get close to the lava, it had been burned into ashes.
"If I fall in, I will die for sure!"
Lu Li came to this conclusion. His Thunder Armor seemed strong but it could not stand the heat of the lava for a moment. Once he fell in, it would be hard for him to get back up.
"Stone Golem, go along the chains!"
Lu Li ordered one of the Stone Golems. The Stone Golem flew up and dashed toward the chains.
This place was dangerous and the situation was unclear. Naturally, Lu Li would not let the immortal's body take the risk. The immortal's body was of great help to Lu Li.
"Whoosh ~"
The Stone Golem was fast. The bridge was only a few thousand feet long. If everything went well, the Stone Golem could make it across in an instant.
How could everything go well?
The answer was no. The Stone Golem was only 30 feet away when something happened.
There were many clouds floating in the air. As the Stone Golem approached, the clouds began to tremble. Then, they formed into swords and rained down.
If it were just regular attacks, Lu Li would be fine. However, the swords formed by the clouds were imbued with the force of heaven and earth. Even from 30 feet away, Lu Li felt he was suppressed by the force of heaven and earth. He could not move.
"Boom ~"
The stone golems that could not move were struck by hundreds of swords, but they were not sent flying. Instead, they were pierced through and turned into rubble that filled the sky.
The swords disappeared in midair and then floated back up. Lu Li pulled a long face.
After a long while, he sighed and said, "Ghost King, are you still human?
Setting up such a perverted checkpoint, is this something that martial artists of our level can pass? "
It was a land of death below, and the only way to pass was an iron chain bridge. Once on the iron chain bridge, one would be suppressed by the power of heaven and earth and would be attacked by an extremely powerful sword formation.
Needless to say, Lu Li knew he could not make it with his current abilities.
At least as soon as he stepped on the iron chain bridge, he would be suppressed by the power of heaven and earth and could not move at all. Since he could not move, how could he walk to the other side?
The only way was to let the god corpses carry them through?
But could the god's corpse withstand the attack of the sword formation?
Lu Li gazed into the distance. The further he went, the thicker the smoke was. The color of the smoke had changed. It looked dark. It must be more horrifying.
Powerful people couldn't enter the Ghost King Palace, so how could the weak make it through?
Was the Ghost King trying to give people endless hope and then make them despair?
"Master, why don't I try controlling the god's corpse while you use the whip to bind the god's corpse?"
Blood Fairy sent a message. Lu Li thought it was a good idea. If the god's corpse was smashed off the iron chain bridge, he could pull him up with the whip.
Lu Li took out that silver whip and wrapped it around the god's corpse's waist. Then, the whip stretched out infinitely. The god's corpse slowly walked toward the iron chain bridge.
As soon as the god's corpse stepped onto the iron chain bridge, the huge iron chain began to shake. The god's corpse stood on the iron chain bridge steadily and moved forward slowly.
About 30 feet later, the horrifying power in heaven and earth pressed down. Blood Fairy's voice rang in Lu Li's mind, "Master, pull me back. The god's corpse cannot stand the power of heaven and earth. He cannot move."
"Hoy ~"
Lu Li pulled the whip. The god's corpse trembled. He kicked on the ground and flew back.
In the distance, the swords formed by the smoke came after him and landed on the god's corpse.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang ~"
The god's corpse was smashed away, and so was Lu Li. Lu Li checked with psychic power and was relieved to find that there was no hole in the god's corpse.
"The power of heaven and earth is horrifying!"
Blood Fairy's voice rang in Lu Li's mind, "If it were not for your help, the god's corpse would not be able to move. Master, this is not going to be easy …"
Even without Blood Fairy's reminder, Lu Li knew that this was not going to be easy.
To cross the bridge, he must overcome two difficulties. The first was to stand against the power of heaven and earth, and the second was to stand against the sword formation coming down from the sky.
How could he stand against the power of heaven and earth?
Not even the god's corpse.
The sword formation was even more horrifying. Even if the sword formation could not kill Lu Li, if he were smashed off the iron chain bridge and into the abyss, he would die a tragic death.
There were two obstacles here. Given Lu Li's current abilities, there was no way he could overcome them.
Lu Li took out the Wicked Bead and tried to go inside. To his disappointment, the interspatial artifact could not be used.
He then tried to fly through the void. If he could fly through the void, no matter where he flew to, it would be better than being trapped here until he died.
As Lu Li had expected, he could not fly across the void. Master of Ghost had foreseen everything. To go to the next level, he had to cross the iron chain bridge.
"What should I do?"
Lu Li paced up and down the cliff in agitation. He was having a headache. The more he walked, the more agitated he became. When a person knew that he was going to die in a place and that he was at a dead end, it was normal for him to feel agitated and frustrated.
One day, two days, five days!
Lu Li sat on the ground, exhausted. He had been thinking for five days, but he could not come up with a solution.
He was like a headless fly. He knew that the way out was on the other side, but there was a window in between that he could never cross.
"The only way is to improve my abilities …"
After thinking about it for five days, Lu Li realized that the only way forward was to become stronger.
He had to make it so that he could not be suppressed by the force of heaven and earth and the sword formation could not harm him. Only in this way could he cross the bridge.
It was easy to say, but very difficult to do.
How strong would he have to be to stand against the force of heaven and earth and the horrifying sword formation?
How many years would he have to cultivate here?
Ten years, one hundred years, ten thousand years?
Would he lose his mind if he was stuck here for ten thousand years or even one hundred thousand years?
Would Chi Xi-er and the others die?
Would the Earth Imperial Universe be in danger?
When he came out, would his family be turned into ashes?
If he were to be stuck here for a million years, the world would be a stranger to him when he came out. Everyone he knew would be dead. What was the point of living?
