"No ~"
Lu Li remembered something. He had another beast that could move. King of Specters could take the Alienated Bead and run away.
Even though King of Specters would be weakened at once, it could recover quickly after taking the Spring of Serenity.
"King of Specters, get out!"
Lu Li ordered King of Specters. King of Specters dashed out, grabbed the Alienated Bead and dashed away.
But after the time for two breaths, King of Specters slowed down and its qi and energy weakened. By the time for three breaths, King of Specters had only one fifth of its original speed.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li put King of Specters into the Spring of Serenity. King of Specters gulped down the Spring of Serenity. After a dozen mouthfuls, King of Specters recovered and was in high spirits again.
"Get out!"
Lu Li was invigorated. He let King of Specters out again and continued to run with the Alienated Bead.
Though the Spring of Serenity was being consumed, King of Specters could carry the Alienated Bead deeper.
"What …"
Dan Jiu Deng, who was chasing after Lu Li, noticed this with psychic power. He was surprised.
Dan Jiu Deng knew that Lu Li had a King of Specters. But what confused him was — how come every time King of Specters entered the Alienated Bead, it would recover as soon as it came out?
If this were the case, it would be difficult for Dan Jiu Deng to catch up with Lu Li. Dan Jiu Deng was very weak at the moment and his speed was dozens of times slower than before.
Of course, he could force himself to speed up. But the faster he was, the faster he would be weakened. If Dan Jiu Deng were to follow Lu Li, there was a chance that he would die.
King of Specters carried Lu Li deeper and deeper. Every time King of Specters entered the Alienated Bead, it would recover instantly and run away again.
Moreover, his running speed was much faster than Dan Jiu Deng's current speed.
Not only would King of Specters' divine energy be weakened, but so would his body and soul. His overall abilities would be weakened.
As time went by, Dan Jiu Deng would not even be able to defeat an average Third Tribulation warrior.
Currently, Dan Jiu Deng's abilities were weakened. He should be at the peak of the Fourth Tribulation now. At this rate, Dan Jiu Deng's abilities would decline and he might not even be able to defeat King of Specters in the end.
"I have to try!"
Dan Nine Lanterns gritted his teeth. He circulated the godly power in his body crazily. His feet glowed with a green light, and his speed soared.
He took out a white bone bead and channeled his divine power. The bone bead lit up with a blinding white light. Waves of divine power spread out and dispersed the surrounding purple mist.
He had sped up. The distance between them was closing. Lu Li had been keeping a close eye on Dan Nine Lanterns in the Alienation Bead. Naturally, he noticed.
He knew that Dan Nine Lanterns was going all out. If he didn't think of a way to deal with it, the King of Specters would be easily killed. Then, when the Heaven Separation Pearl was shattered, he would be killed as well.
He looked at the Saint Emperor's daughter and transmitted his voice, "Blood Fairy, do you still have the strength to fight?"
The Saint King's daughter was already very weak, but she recovered a little after entering the Heaven Separation Pearl. Blood Fairy said, "You only have enough energy for one attack. Now, you can only release one attack.
After one attack, we can only wait to die. "
"One strike?"
Lu Li made up his mind. He was ready to fight in person. After this period of recovery, he had recovered a bit and could make several moves.
If Dan Nine Lanterns was the same as before, then he would die no matter what he did.
Dan Nine Lanterns should be very weak at the moment. That being said, Lu Li still had the strength to fight.
That bone bead was a piece of the Divine Weapon. Therefore, Lu Li took out the Mystic iron. He thought about it and looked at the several ancient treasures. Those ancient treasures were strong. Maybe they could help him.
The horn?
Not easy!
The ring was too small for him to use the weapon and the armor. The only thing left was the landscape painting.
The painting was the same size as a person. Lu Li wondered if it could help him.
"Whoosh!"
Dan Nine Lanterns was coming. Lu Li had no time to think. He used psychic power to lock onto Dan Nine Lanterns.
When Dan Nine Lanterns was about to arrive, Lu Li put the King of Specters into the Serenity Spring.
"Hoy ~"
Lu Li shouted. He mobilized his divine energy. The Mystic iron glowed. Vast divine energy spread out, shaking the void.
"Now!"
Seeing that Dan Nine Lanterns was coming, Lu Li shouted and dashed out from the Alienation Bead. He held the Mystic iron in one hand and the scroll in the other.
"Go to hell!"
Lu Li shouted. He dashed to Dan Nine Lanterns in a blur and smashed the Mystic iron at Dan Nine Lanterns.
"Eh …"
Dan Nine Lanterns didn't expect that Lu Li would take the initiative to attack him.
That being said, Dan Nine Lanterns had lived for more than two hundred thousand years. He had been through countless battles. How could a young man like Lu Li compare with him?
The bone bead flew toward Lu Li's Mystic iron. At the same time, he took out a spear and stabbed at Lu Li. As for the painting in Lu Li's hand, Dan Nine Lanterns ignored it.
The painting was not controlled so Dan Nine Lanterns could not be activated. It had no divine energy. Also, there weren't many patterns on the landscape painting. It didn't look like a piece of treasure.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
The spear was clearly a piece of treasure. After it was activated, the spear began to glow. Everywhere the head of the spear went, there would be cracks in space like a spider web. Streaks of horrifying energy spread out from the head of the spear as if it could penetrate through everything.
Lu Li's nerves tightened. From the depth of his soul, he sensed fatal danger.
He didn't expect that Dan Nine Lanterns could still be so powerful even though his abilities were weakened. If the spear were to stab him, there wouldn't be anything left of him.
"Buzzing ~"
At this critical moment, Lu Li had no other choice but to let out the daughter of the Saint King.
The daughter of the Saint King turned into a bolt of lightning and smashed at Dan Nine Lanterns' head.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
The bone bead and the Mystic iron bumped into each other. Space was torn apart at once. The horrifying shockwave of the explosion spread out. Even the purple haze was dispersed.
"Bang!"
Almost at the same time, the spear stabbed into the painting. Lu Li didn't pay attention to the bone bead. All his attention was on the spear.
If the painting couldn't stand it, then he would die without a burial place.
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
Two voices of surprise came out at the same time. Both Lu Li and Dan Nine Lanterns were stunned. That horrifying spear stabbed into the painting and … went in.
That was right!
Half of the spear went into the painting as if it had pierced into water. There were no ripples and no sound. Half of the spear had disappeared.
Not only did the spear not come out from the back of the painting, it didn't move at all. It was like there was another world inside the painting and half of the spear had pierced into another world.
"Boom!"
The collision of the Mystic iron and the bone bead caused a huge explosion. Lu Li and Dan Nine Lanterns were both smashed away. So was the daughter of the Saint King.
Her hand was going to hit Dan Nine Lanterns but was stopped by another artifact that Dan Nine Lanterns took out.
"Poof …"
Lu Li was already injured and now his injuries were even more serious. He was smashed away and spat out blood in midair.
