Every time, Phantom King could only fly for the time for one breath to cover a distance of thousands of miles. He had used up more than half of the spring water.
Entering the core area of the blasted land, Lu Li saw more palaces. But all of them had been destroyed. Dilapidated walls were everywhere. Only a small number of palaces were intact. Some of the palaces still had glowing runes.
Many must have died here. Bones were everywhere. This sect must have had many powerful warriors. Many bones were glowing in a white glow. Only super powerful warriors could have such bones.
The deeper Lu Li went, the more palaces he saw and the more bones he saw. It was said that this sect had over a million disciples. Judging by the looks of it, it was true and many of them were powerful warriors.
Along the way, Lu Li did not pay attention to his surroundings. Instead, he paid attention to what was behind him. He was afraid that Dan Jiudeng would catch up with him.
Dan Jiudeng had consumed the super elixir and was so strong. It was possible that he would take the risk.
"Whoosh!"
Soon, Lu Li heard some noises behind him. Dan Jiudeng was catching up at a horrifying speed. Even though Phantom King could fly at full speed every time, he had to come in to tend to his wounds. Naturally, he could not be fast.
"He is catching up!"
Lu Li thought about it. It would be difficult to rely on the scroll. Dan Jiudeng was too strong. He must be more powerful than the fifth tribulation.
Even if the scroll could withstand one strike, wouldn't Dan Jiudeng use other attacks?
At this critical moment, Lu Li thought quickly. He realized that he could not win on his own. He had to rely on other forces.
He quickly released his Divine Will and scanned the nearby palaces.
"Got it!"
Soon, Lu Li's eyes glowed. He found a palace that was glowing with runes. He could use the runes to stop Dan Jiudeng.
Lu Li told Phantom King to take him into the palace. Almost at the same time, Blood Fairy reached out her tentacle and reached into the runes in the palace.
Lu Li put away Phantom King and let the Distant Heaven Bead float in the palace.
"Hmm!"
Dan Jiudeng dashed over. He snorted at Lu Li when he saw him dashing into the palace.
However, when he was about to enter the palace, the runes in the palace suddenly glowed. Dan Jiudeng was stunned.
As soon as Lu Li entered, he could control the runes here?
The Divine Inscriptions here were extremely powerful, would he be in danger if he entered?
After hesitating for a moment, the Divine Inscription flashed again, and the palace doors actually closed. A blue barrier of light appeared outside the palace.
"This …"
Dan Jiudeng's complexion turned unsightly. His hesitation had caused him to miss the best opportunity.
If he had rushed in just now, he would have had the chance to kill Lu Li.
Anyone would have done the same. This place was full of mysteries and so was Lu Li. Anyone would have hesitated. Who would have thought that Lu Li could control the runes in the palace so quickly?
Boom!
This time, Dan Jiudeng didn't hesitate. He took out his spear and the white bead and attacked the palace.
Qin Wentian didn't believe it. This palace had been preserved for so many years, and the divine inscriptions on it shouldn't have much energy left. Its defense shouldn't be too strong, and he should be able to easily break it open, right?
"Blood Fairy, you're amazing!"
In the palace, Lu Li could not help but exclaim. As soon as Blood Fairy came in, she could solve the runes here. It had only been the time for two to three breaths. Blood Fairy's attainments in runes were improving fast.
"And this is because of the ancient treasures, master!"
Blood Fairy was not arrogant. She said, "The divine inscriptions in those ancient treasures are impressive. I didn't learn many of them, but they have improved my understanding of runes.
Master, don't be too happy. The runes here are not strong. I don't think they can last for the time for half an incense stick to burn. "
"The time for half an incense stick to burn?
That's enough! "
Lu Li was excited. The time for half an incense stick to burn was short. But where was this place?
This was the core of the cursed land.
Every second was weakening people's abilities. Dan Jiudeng had consumed some elixirs, but how many top level ones did he have?
The average ones here were not of much use.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Outside, Dan Jiudeng kept attacking. In here, the divine inscriptions kept glowing. The glow was fading, but he could not break it open.
Dan Jiudeng was trembling in anger. He was regretting.
Almost all the elixirs in his body had been consumed. As time went on, his abilities would weaken as well. If he could not break it open after a long time, Lu Li wouldn't even have to attack him. Dan Jiudeng would be so weak that he couldn't even lift the spear …
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
Dan Jiudeng used all kinds of means, including three artifacts. Together with the spear, his qi and energy were weakening. It was no longer possible to tell that he was a warrior of the Fifth Tribulation. He was at the peak of the Fourth Tribulation.
"Boom!"
Finally, the divine inscriptions in the palace were broken. However, Dan Jiudeng's qi and energy were weakened again. He was only comparable to a warrior at the later stage of the Fourth Tribulation.
When he was about to rush out, Master of Specter came out with the Separated Heaven Bead and stopped in front of him.
"Go to hell!"
Lu Li dashed out from the Separated Heaven Bead and so did the daughter of Saint King. Lu Li had the Relic iron in one hand and the scroll in the other. There were many Worms of the Void flying out.
Dan Jiudeng's heart skipped a beat. Lu Li had initiated the attack and Dan Jiudeng was weakened. Naturally, he was not confident.
That being said, Dan Jiudeng reacted quickly. He took out four or five artifacts and stabbed at Lu Li with his spear again.
"Hoy!"
Lu Li pushed the scroll forward and the spear went in again. Another treasure flew in as well.
What was more, after the artifact flew in, the spiritual connection disappeared.
Dan Jiudeng was losing his patience. The scroll could store treasures?
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li's Interspatial Ring glowed. Then, a saber engraved with ancient divine inscriptions appeared. Dan Jiudeng was taken aback. How did Lu Li have so many ancient artifacts?
The scroll was already so impressive. Could the saber be even more impressive?
"Retreat!"
Dan Jiudeng was scared. He pulled out the spear and stepped back quickly.
He was thousands of miles away in an instant.
Lu Li was relieved. He was shrouded in the brown haze. He was so weak that he could barely lift his saber.
"Buzzing ~"
He dashed back into the Separated Heaven Bead at once and put away the daughter of Saint King as well. He told Master of Specter to gulp down some spring water and then rushed out with the Separated Heaven Bead.
As for the Worms of the Void, Lu Li had no time to collect them.
"What to do?"
Dan Jiudeng was in a dilemma. He had no more elixirs. He would die here if he stayed any longer.
With every passing breath, he would be weaker. It was unrealistic for him to go after Lu Li.
"Retreat!"
Dan Jiudeng was a decisive man. He sped up to the top of his speed and rushed out of the blasted land.
He planned to wait outside the blasted land. He did not believe that Lu Li could stay in there forever.
In the time for two incense sticks to burn, Dan Jiudeng was out. However, he trembled and almost fell to the ground.
He sat down cross-legged and took out some godly medicine to recover. At the same time, he ordered the Spirit Chasing Race's people, "Take my token and go to the nearby Chen Clan. Gather a hundred thousand soldiers and surround the Cursed Land."
