The Lake of Ghosts and Lake of Blood was not far away, only tens of thousands of miles away. That being said, it took the Phantom King some time to get there and he consumed some Spirit Spring Water.
The Lake of Ghosts and Lake of Blood was not large, only with a radius of a couple of miles. Lu Li used psychic power to check and saw nothing but blood.
It did not seem like the lake was dyed red. It was more like the lake was made of blood.
Before Lu Li got closer, he already felt something was wrong. The light seemed to be dimmed, and it felt gloomy.
As a matter of fact, the sky was not covered and the temperature did not drop. Still, it felt different from other places.
"There are so many ghosts!"
Lu Li used psychic power to check the lake. There were many remnant souls and ghosts. The bottom of the lake was more like the underworld. If Lu Li were to go down by himself, he would be frightened.
After a while, Lu Li let out Phantom and asked him to see if he could devour the ghost.
Last time, Phantom was injured by the might of the Holy Weapon fragment and had not recovered yet. Lu Li did not know if he would be in danger when he went down.
Phantom approached from the edge and dashed into the lake. As soon as it got closer, it became excited. It dived in as soon as it touched the lake.
"Woo, woo ~"
But in just a moment, the ghostly shadow actually flew out of the blood lake, and below it, a green shadow chased after it.
Blood Fairy said, "Master, Phantom is no match for it. Help it or put it back into the Bead of Ghosts or it will be devoured!"
"Eh …"
Lu Li was taken aback. He did not know that Phantom was so strong and yet it was at a disadvantage in one move.
Help Phantom?
How? He did not know soul attacks. Was he going to use the Holy Weapon fragment?
"Right, dragon soul!"
Lu Li remembered that dragon soul was strong. He could let dragon soul and Phantom work together. This ghost should not be much stronger than Phantom or else Phantom would not be able to run away.
Lu Li made up his mind. He decided to take the risk. Dragon soul was much stronger than Phantom and it should be able to fend off this ghost.
He dashed out. The Bead of Ghosts glowed and Phantom dashed into Lu Li's body.
"Woo, woo ~"
That cyan shadow dashed in as well. Lu Li did not dare to stay any longer. He went into the Separation Bead at once and sat down to check his soul.
The ghostly shadow rushed into Lu Li's soul and so did the cyan shadow.
The Dragon Soul immediately shone brightly. What was different was that the Dragon Soul did not attack the Ghost Shadow, but the Malicious Ghost behind it.
The dragon's soul could protect its master automatically. Any soul energy with offensive properties would be attacked by the dragon's soul. Lu Li's soul would be fine as long as it was not harmed.
"Hum ~"
The dragon soul and ghost shadow attacked at the same time. Naturally, the ghost could not stand it anymore. It tried to run away but it was trapped in Lu Li's soul. After the time for one incense stick to burn, it was devoured by the dragon soul and ghost shadow.
"Alright!"
Lu Li could feel that Spectre was clearly getting stronger. Lu Li's spirit was lifted.
As the ghost shadow continued to devour, it would become stronger and stronger. In the end, all the malicious ghosts in the lake would be devoured. At that time, its strength would definitely increase greatly.
He quickly controlled Ghostly Shadow to continue moving, and soon, he lured another malicious spirit up.
He had no choice but to go out and lead the malicious spirit back into his body.
This malicious ghost was inferior to the previous one, so it was quickly devoured by the Dragon Soul and the ghostly shadow. The Dragon Soul didn't devour much energy and was almost devoured by the ghostly shadow.
After devouring two Malicious Ghosts in a row, the damage that Ghostly Shadow had suffered before was recovered, and it was almost at its peak combat power.
Ghostly Shadow dashed down again. There were no more powerful malicious ghosts nearby.
Lu Li sensed with psychic power that Ghostly Shadow was devouring some small remnant souls and growing stronger. It didn't go to the deep sea. It just wandered around the periphery.
"This is good!"
Lu Li was relieved to sense that Ghostly Shadow was getting stronger. As long as Ghostly Shadow didn't go to the deepest part of the lake, then it wouldn't run into any powerful beings.
Lu Li watched for more than two hours and then stopped worrying. Even though Ghostly Shadow had no consciousness, it knew to seek fortune and avoid danger.
Ghostly Shadow knew that it could not go to the bottom of the lake now. It could only devour wandering souls at the periphery and then go to the bottom when it was stronger.
Lu Li cultivated for half a day. He checked with psychic power and was relieved to see that Ghostly Shadow was still devouring souls at the periphery.
There were more than 100,000 wandering souls and malicious ghosts in the lake. Ghostly Shadow would grow stronger as it devoured them.
Lu Li thought of a possibility. It was possible that when the sect was on the verge of collapse, the remaining people were used as sacrifices by the Master.
Those people were melted alive, and their flesh and blood were used to form the core of the formation.
Otherwise, how could there be so many remnant souls left?
The lake was blood red. If so, it would be easy to understand.
"Maybe …"
On this thought, Lu Li had an idea. Could he find a way to crack the blood lake?
If so, would it mean that the core of the entire formation of the cursed land was cracked?
Did that mean that he could fly through the void and leave?
Lu Li shared his thoughts with Blood Fairy. Blood Fairy thought about it and said, "Is it the core of the Blasted Land? We can wait until Specter devours all the ghosts and I can go down and have a look. But I don't dare to go now.
Maybe when all the ghosts are gone, the formation will be easier to crack. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li knew that he could not rush. He would have to wait until Ghostly Shadow devoured all the ghosts.
He thought for a while and said, "Blood Fairy, go out. Throw the Separated Heaven Bead into the blood lake and then come back in."
The atmosphere in the blood lake was strange. Lu Li was in the Separated Heaven Bead. Even if enemies were to come, they would not be able to find him. It was better than floating in the air all by himself.
"Whoosh!"
Holy King's daughter dashed out and dashed into the blood lake with the Separated Heaven Bead. Before the ghosts could come up, Holy King's daughter was taken back by Lu Li.
"Okay, focus on your cultivation!
Go back to studying Divine Glyphs. When you have time, keep an eye on the outside. "
Lu Li said. Then, he took out some elixirs to consume.
He had obtained many elixirs in the Hall of Seven Sounds, enough for him to cultivate for years. If he had consumed the elixirs like this, he would have consumed them all in one or two years.
While Lu Li was taking his time, Dan Jiudeng could not wait any longer.
He knew that Lu Li had the Separated Heaven Bead. Clearly, Lu Li was cultivating in the Separated Heaven Bead.
If Lu Li were to cultivate in the Separated Heaven Bead for a decade or even hundreds of years, would they be waiting outside?
Dan Jiudeng could wait, but would the Chen Family warriors stay with him?
Dan Jiudeng could not bring himself to ask for help.
Therefore, Dan Jiudeng had to send a message back to report the situation and ask for help from the family.
After all, Lu Li could not run away now. When the powerful warriors of the family came, they could work together to kill or capture Lu Li alive.
As a matter of fact, Dan Jiudeng did not want to use the powerful warriors of the family.
He wanted Lu Li's scroll very much. If the powerful warriors of the family came, say, a lord, then the scroll would not belong to him.
Half a month later, the space here began to tremble. Then, a portal was opened. Five powerful warriors swarmed out.
Dan Jiudeng felt bitter when he saw the leader of the group.
A Great Patriarch of the family was here. Dan Jiudeng would not have a share in the scroll.
