Drifting!
Lu Li was like a shooting star, flying in the void with no end in sight. Maybe, he would only stop when all the energy was consumed and he was reduced to ashes.
He was traveling in the darkness all by himself. He could see nothing, hear nothing, and he could not move. He did not know where his destination was …
It was a frustrating feeling. If it were not for the fact that Lu Li had a strong mind, he would have broken down.
What was more unbearable was that traveling in a black hole in space and time would give him a feeling that he could not tell the difference between reality and illusion. This was the most uncomfortable feeling and could easily drive him mad.
"How many years has it been?
Five years? Ten years?
Is the Earth Imperial Universe still there?
Great-grandpa, grandpa, father, Ling-er, Qiuxue, and Xiashuang, are they still alive? "
Lu Li woke up from cultivation again. He was in a worse state of mind because he realized that he was still drifting.
He felt he had been drifting for at least a few years. If so, then the Earth Imperial Universe would be doomed.
He lost his passion for cultivation. He was in a muddle-headed state.
He was not a saint. He could not stay strong. He would be sad, lost, confused, and helpless …
The emotions he had been suppressing for some time had erupted recently. He didn't want to do anything. His mood became extremely pessimistic and sad.
His mind began to wander. His mind was on the verge of collapse.
If this went on, he might lose his mind or even die.
By then, he would turn into a mummy and float in the black hole in space and time for eternity …
As the world moved on, Lu Li's expressions became more and more awful. His pupils became unfocused. His spirit was weakening. He was in a dangerous state.
Five days, 10 days!
Lu Li's face became ferocious. His eyes turned redder and redder.
From his throat came out some low growls. He was like a beast trying to break free from the chains.
"Roar, roar ~"
He kept yelling and struggling. His mind was filled with rage and murderous intent.
He wished he could tear apart all the creatures nearby. He wanted to destroy everything and break the void.
Lu Li had reached the most dangerous stage. He had lost his mind. At this rate, he would turn into a lunatic.
His normal thoughts would be taken over by rage, and he would lose himself.
"Hum ~"
Right at that moment, the Dragon Soul in Lu Li's mind suddenly lit up. Then a soft glow enveloped his entire soul. A strand of pure energy entered Lu Li's soul.
It was as if a person who was dying of thirst had drunk a drop of sweet spring water!
Lu Li's entire soul came back to life. The hostility and negative emotions in his mind were gone and purified.
The red light in his eyes slowly disappeared, and the ferocious expression on his face gradually calmed down.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li opened his eyes again. He was calm and collected.
It could even be said that he was terrifyingly calm, as calm as a wild beast.
He stared blankly at the pitch-black void, not doing anything. He just stared like that for two whole hours. Then, he closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.
He had thought through many things. Whether or not the Earth Imperial Universe was in trouble, no matter how many years had passed.
At the very least, he couldn't get out, move, or do anything.
He could only cultivate and become stronger. He could only become strong enough to walk out of this space-time black hole.
If he went out, the Earth Imperial Universe would have been destroyed and everyone would have been killed.
Then, he would have to avenge the dead and hunt down Luo Ye and the others. This was what he should do.
Grief was meaningless. Frustration could not change anything. Only by becoming stronger could he do what he wanted.
Having thought things through, Lu Li entered the Cryptic Realm state. This time, he went into closed-door cultivation. He did not think about anything other than to see the Sword of the Scar move and learn it.
There were only two things on his mind — to learn the Sword of the Scar move, to become stronger, and then to leave the space-time black hole.
He immersed himself in cultivation. The qi and energy in his body became feeble.
He seemed to have become a stone, a shooting star flying into the distance, to an unknown destination, or to a destination that would never end …
…
Ten years, thirty years, forty-six years!
Lu Li could tell that he had been in the space-time black hole for forty-six years. There might be some differences, or he might be wrong.
Today, he opened his eyes. His eyes were glowing. He had finally learned the Sword of the Scar move. He had learned all four types of Fundamental Principles and had integrated them.
He was confident that if he could move now, he could release Master of Ghost's move, "Sword of the Scar", and he would have 70% of the power of Master of Ghost's move.
After cultivating for so many years, his elixir had turned golden, and the divine energy in it was abundant.
According to his calculations, in terms of divine energy, he should be comparable to a super mighty warrior in the Divinity.
The only pity was that his soul was still weak. He could not move, and he could not consume any soul-nurturing elixirs.
Over the years, when he was cultivating divine energy, his soul was growing automatically. Even though it was growing at a decent speed, it was not as powerful as a super mighty warrior in the Divinity.
The Sword of the Scar move was powerful. Lu Li did not know the exact strength, but he believed that it should be able to kill an average super mighty warrior in the Divinity.
That being said, the Sword of the Scar did not seem to be of much use to Lu Li because he realized that he was still floating in there …
"I don't think there is an end to this black hole. If I do not figure out a way, I will be floating in there for tens of thousands of years, millions of years, or even forever …"
Lu Li had been focused on the Sword of the Scar move, so he did not have much time to think.
Now that he had mastered the Sword of the Scar move, he finally had time to think about the black hole.
He had a wrong idea. He thought that the black hole would take him to a mysterious place. He would fly on and on until he reached an end.
Now, he realized that this black hole might be a tunnel of time and space with no end.
Once one was trapped in it, he would be trapped and would have to fly around …
"Amazing!"
Lu Li exclaimed to himself. At his current speed, he could fly around the Divinity for dozens of times in dozens of years. How could this tunnel be so long?
"Is there a natural illusion in here? Am I not moving forward? I am just moving forward? Am I just moving forward?"
A possibility came to Lu Li's mind. He sent a message to Blood Fairy after some thought.
He asked her to check around to see if there were any Inhibition Formations.
"Buzzing!"
The Interspatial Ring on Lu Li's hand glowed. A blood-red tentacle came out and reached out. Blood Fairy was a spiritual being. She did not have a physical body, so she was not bound by the force here.
Her tentacle kept reaching into the distance to check around. Only after reaching for hundreds of miles did she retract her tentacle.
"Master, there are no signs of Inhibition Formations nearby!"
Blood Fairy reported, "There is nothing but the void. There is nothing. No formation patterns, no Formation Cores, nothing. I don't think there are any Inhibition Formations!"
"No?"
Lu Li blinked. He could not figure it out. If there were no Inhibition Formations, how could the black hole be so long?
Logically speaking, it did not make sense.
"Space?
Time and space?
No — "
