There were many demons and monsters on the Mount of Stealthy Demons. Some had been eliminated by the armies and some were lured away by Feng Biao. But there were still many.
Along the way, Lu Li tried his best not to fight monsters for fear of leaving traces.
He was fast. The average monsters could not catch up with him. If there were specters, Lu Li would let Ghost Shadow come out and devour them. In this way, there would be no trace.
When he was near the highest peak, Lu Li did not dare to move forward.
He was confident that he could kill the underage Specter King but he did not want to provoke it for now. What if there was an adult Specter King in there?
He flew around, found a cave, and dashed underground. He planned to get Blood Fairy to set up a Divine Inscription Dojo to conceal his aura, just like the one on the island where the corpses were all over.
He was not sure that he could hide from the search of a fourth tribulation warrior with this Rune Plaza. But it was better than nothing. Wouldn't it be better if he could avoid being searched?
The cave was deep. The deeper Lu Li went, the wider the cave was. It was as if there was an underground world.
The cave was filled with cold and evil energy, which made Lu Li uncomfortable.
"Could it be that the auras of the Spirit World are coming from underground?"
Lu Li had a question. He had planned to find a random cave to build the Rune Plaza. He did not expect that the deeper he went, the deeper he went. He felt he could not reach the end.
"Keep going!"
Since the underground was so deep, it might be a good hiding place. He could lie low for a period of time and wait for the people from the Hell Palace to be unable to find him for a few months. At that time, perhaps it would be easier for him to escape?
He had to take it one step at a time. He walked down the cave. After thousands of miles, he realized that there really was an underground world down there.
It was vast and boundless. The underground world was filled with black fog. Cold energy came from below.
"What?"
Lu Li was alarmed. A familiar energy enveloped him. He was taken aback. It was the Specter King. It must be the underage Specter King.
"Whoosh!"
From the black fog, a shadow dashed over. It was as fast as lightning. In an instant, it had reached Lu Li. Lu Li took a look. It was the underage Specter King.
Clearly, this Phantom King was cultivating here. Lu Li was looking for a place to hide in the cave, but he didn't expect to find the Phantom King's lair.
"Luckily, there's only this underage Phantom King!"
This was the only thing that Lu Li could be happy about. He took out the Ghost Bead. After a glare, a ghostly shadow appeared and whooshed toward the Phantom King.
At the same time, the Worms of the Void flew out and Lu Li took out the Relic metal.
Fighting against the Phantom King was no laughing matter. If he was not careful, he could end up being clawed to death by the Phantom King.
He had seen the previous battle between the Phantom King and Feng Biao. The Phantom King's fighting style was very simple. It relied on its sharp claws. Their claws were so powerful that Meng Li's artifact battle armor could be easily torn apart.
Lu Li's physical body was strong, but he wasn't strong enough to compete with Meng Li's armor. He knew that he didn't have many chances. He didn't want to struggle with the Phantom King. Instead, he wanted to injure or kill it instantly.
"Phew ~"
The ghostly shadow dashed into the Phantom King's body at once and began to attack its soul. The Worms of the Void swarmed over as well, entering the Phantom King's body.
There were too many Worms of the Void. Fast as the Phantom King was, it could not avoid them.
Maybe, for the proud Phantom King, such puny creatures could not inflict any harm to it. The Phantom King was like a tiger to a swarm of bees.
"Buzzing!"
Seeing that the Phantom King was coming, Lu Li mobilized the Relic metal. A surge of divine energy spread out. The horrifying energy froze the space around him.
The rapidly flying Phantom Monarch stopped in mid-air, and his crimson eyes were filled with shock and horror.
The Phantom King was highly intelligent, no weaker than humans. The might of the Relic metal was too horrifying. Though the Phantom King was still underage, it could sense danger instinctively.
"Whoosh!"
The Phantom King didn't move, but Lu Li had already taken action. He dashed over with the Unfettered Steps.
At the same time, he and the Worms of the Void ordered Blood Fairy to order Ghostly Shadow to attack the Phantom King's soul.
Lu Li did not know how strong the Phantom King's soul was. That being said, the Phantom King was still underage. Maybe, Ghostly Shadow's attack would work.
"Roar ~"
A glint of pain appeared in the Phantom King's blood-red eyes. Clearly, Ghostly Shadow's attack had worked. Lu Li was delighted. He dashed over and smashed at the Phantom King's head with the Relic metal.
"Wait …"
Lu Li suddenly realized something. Ghostly Shadow was inside the Phantom King's soul. Both the Phantom King and Ghostly Shadow would be doomed.
Lu Li did not care about the Phantom King's life. But Ghostly Shadow was a powerful helper. He could not let him die so easily.
If the Phantom King's head could not be hit, then where else could he hit?
Lu Li thought about it. Soon, he saw the Phantom King's hands. The Phantom King's strength came from his hands. If the arms could be destroyed, then the Phantom King would be like a toothless tiger. Lu Li could do whatever he wanted to him.
"Roar, roar ~"
Seeing that Lu Li was smashing at him with the Relic metal, the Phantom King, out of instinct, clawed at Lu Li. Even if Lu Li were to kill him, the Phantom King would drag Lu Li down with him.
"Bang!"
The Godly metal viciously slammed into the Phantom King's claws, and the Phantom King's arms were instantly shredded. The two claws flew through the air, and the Phantom King let loose a howl of anguish.
"Hiss, hiss ~"
Lu Li gasped as a claw scratched across his chest, leaving a deep wound. Even one of his bones was broken. The claws of the Phantom King were so sharp.
"Roar, roar ~"
The Phantom King screamed and flapped his wings, trying to run away.
Lu Li would not let the Phantom King go so easily. Once again, Lu Li mobilized the Relic metal. All the divine energy in his body was drained. Lu Li dashed over and slapped at the Phantom King's back.
This move was not as good as the previous one because Lu Li did not have enough divine energy to make the Relic metal unleash its full power. That being said, the Phantom King's wings were smashed into pieces. The Phantom King could not run away.
"Hmm!"
Lu Li put away the Relic metal. He grabbed the Phantom King's neck with one hand and smashed at the Phantom King's head with his fists.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
With a muffled sound, the Phantom King's head was smashed into a pig's head under Lu Li's punches.
Admittedly, the Phantom King's defense was impressive. Lu Li had punched for dozens of times, but the Phantom King's skull was not cracked. There were only some cracks and the Phantom King's face was covered in blood.
"Well …"
Lu Li had wanted to smash the Phantom King to death. But at that moment, he had an idea. He wondered if the Phantom King's claws could grow back. If so, maybe … he could tame the Phantom King.
An adult Phantom King could be horrifying. It was said that even patriarchs would lose their lives if they encountered one. The Phantom King was at least at the later stage of the fourth tribulation.
If Lu Li could tame the Phantom King, it would be a powerful helper when it grew up.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li took out the mountain and dragged the Phantom King into a hall inside the mountain.
There were two people in the hall, Meng Li and Chief Long. Blood Fairy was controlling the immortal's body to monitor them.
"Buzzing!"
The hall began to tremble. Lu Li dashed in with the Phantom King in his hand.
Meng Li and Commander Long glanced at it. Their bodies trembled, and then their faces were filled with shock.
It was fine that Lu Li had captured them, but he had captured the Phantom King as well?
