The demon army was unstoppable. The humans didn't organize any armies or powerful warriors to stop them.
Only a few stragglers and stragglers would spontaneously attack, harass, and make some pointless efforts and sacrifices …
Lu Li, the hero of the human race and their new commander, was missing!
The new list was released. Lord Xuanyuan was number one, Zuo Qiulu was number two, and Lu Li was number six for the first time.
What Lu Li did in the City of Divinity was spread out. Lu Li's attack on the demon army was even more widely spread. Lu Li became the new leader of the human race.
Many people didn't necessarily follow Lu Li's command, but at least Lu Li had become the spiritual leader of most humans.
The traitor that everyone despised had become the leader of the human race.
Although this was comical and laughable, it was the truth!
Now, their leader was missing …
The demon army was launching a massive attack but Lu Li didn't do anything. Many human warriors thought Lu Li was planning something bigger.
Now that he hadn't shown up for a long time, people began to wonder if Lu Li couldn't fight the ten-winged demon, or … was dead!
Not only the average warriors, but many supreme warriors in the Divinity didn't know where Lu Li had gone.
Ling Qingyan, Pan Yuqin, and Zuo Qiulu didn't tell the news that Lu Li was going to take the Heavenly Tribulation.
If the news got out, any ten-winged demon could be killed by Lu Li.
Luo Guan and Zuo Qiulu had some guesses, but they wouldn't betray Lu Li.
After all, if Lu Li died, they would lose all hope. The four forces would be wiped out.
As time went on, the demon army kept advancing. One prefecture after another fell. Another month later, more than half of the Divinity had fallen.
The demon army was approaching the City of Divinity. In a month at most, they would be at the city.
The average disciples of the Craftsmen's Sect had been relocated. So were the resources. Only powerful warriors were left in the city, including many from the Divinity.
Those powerful warriors believed that the City of Divinity was the last barrier. If the City of Divinity was taken and Lu Li didn't show up and couldn't defeat the demon army …
The Divinity would fall completely and humans would be lost forever.
Lu Li was still in the sky. He had built more than 300 formations at his acupoints. More than 100 thunderbolts were striking at him at the same time.
The scene in the sky was fascinating. Lu Li was floating in the void. Dragons of lightning were whooshing at him from all sides, surrounding him.
However, the thunderbolts seemed to be illusionary. Not only could they not hurt Lu Li, they couldn't even burn his skin and hair.
Lu Li had set up more than 300 acupuncture points. Every time the energy of thunderbolts went in, it would be absorbed by the Thunder-Gathering Formation and then transformed into a strange kind of energy which was distributed to the Thunder Storage Formations around his body.
This energy would then seep into the walls of the acupoints, strengthening them.
Lu Li's calculation was right. The 720 acupoints were more like formation stones for the formation in the human body. When the acupoints were strengthened, his physical body as a whole would be enhanced!
How strong was his physical body now?
Even Lu Li himself did not know. But he believed that it was at least 10 times stronger. In other words, his body must be stronger than the average supreme warriors in the Divinity.
The energy of thunderbolts was flowing in. The acupoints seemed to be small but they were like small worlds, bottomless pits.
With so much energy of thunderbolts entering his acupoints, they were like strands of airflow. The acupoints could not be filled up.
"I think I can stand tens of thousands of thunderbolts now, right?"
Lu Li stopped at this moment. He looked at the dragons of lightning coming at him from all sides. His eyes glowed.
He thought for a while and moved to the side slowly.
"Swish —"
Lu Li moved as if he had run into a nest of snakes. The thunderbolts around him were many times more than before and they were raging at him.
Lu Li had been checking his body. He was relieved to make sure that all the thunderbolts could be absorbed.
"Whoosh ~"
He sped up and attracted more and more thunderbolts. When he was half as fast as he usually was, he was being attacked by tens of thousands of thunderbolts.
"Ha, ha, ha, this is great!"
Lu Li laughed. He could feel the energy of thunderbolts being absorbed and his physical body improving. He laughed into the sky.
For others, Heaven's Tribulation might be horrifying but for Lu Li, it was nourishing.
The thunderbolts were no longer lethal poisons but the most nourishing elixirs in the world!
"Whoosh ~"
He flew around in the sky like a dragon. Thunderbolts were roaring toward him from all sides. Soon, they caught up with him but were all absorbed by him.
"Mountain!"
Lu Li flew for an hour. He took out the mountain after he was sure that everything was fine.
He made the mountain grow to the size of his body. He sat on the mountain with his legs crossed and let the mountain take him around.
Thunderbolts had no effect on the artifact spirit in the mountain. The thunderbolts here were unique. They only attacked those who were going through Heaven's Tribulations.
Lu Li let the mountain take him around and closed his eyes to make sure that everything was fine. He knew that it had been a long time and he must make haste. Otherwise, the Divinity down there would become a world of demons.
He continued to inscribe the arrays. After such a long time, his speed of inscribing arrays had increased. Now, he could inscribe four to five arrays in a day. He estimated that in another three months, he would be able to inscribe the Lightning Storage Array in all his meridians.
High up in the sky, a mountain was flying fast. On the mountain sat a warrior. Thunderbolts were roaring from all directions. The sky had turned into a Prison of Thunder.
This Prison of Thunder was many times more horrifying than the Prison of Thunder in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. If an average supreme warrior in the Divinity were to see this, they would be scared out of their wits.
The mountain flew fast as Lu Li ordered. It was just wandering around in the Lightning Test.
Lu Li did not care about himself. He entered the Cryptic Spirit Realm to focus on the formations.
After flying for more than a month, the Divine Mountain suddenly stopped. This was because Ya Chi, who was inside the Divine Mountain, sensed something strange in the distance.
Someone was going through Heaven's Tribulations over there?
Thousands of miles away, thunderbolts were wreaking havoc in the sky as well.
"Master, something is wrong!"
Ya Cheng sent a message to Lu Li at once. Lu Li opened his eyes and looked over according to what Ya Cheng said.
Thunderbolts were wreaking havoc over there. Lu Li frowned. What a coincidence.
Someone was going through Heaven's Tribulations?
"Let's leave and go to the distance!"
Lu Li decided not to go and check. What if the ten-winged demon was looking for him?
He still had more than one hundred acupoints to finish and it would take him more than a month to finish. He did not want to complicate matters.
"What?"
Lu Li suddenly sensed something was off. The thunderbolts were being lured over. Did that mean that someone was coming over?
Lu Li was alarmed. He took out his weapon, ready to fight.
"Squeak, squeak ~"
After a while, there came a shout from the distance. Lu Li trembled when he heard the voice. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Whoosh ~"
A blur flew over, as fast as a ray of red light.
Lu Li rubbed his eyes and stared at the black dot in the distance. He was trembling because it was … Little White!
"Squeak, squeak!"
Little White kept shouting. There were tears in its eyes. It dashed over in a blur and threw itself into Lu Li's arms.
"It really is Little White!"
