Lu Li's instinct told him that the entrance to the next level was above the sea.
The tornado was blowing toward them. Now that they were above the sea, the tornado seemed to be weakening. The exit might be above the sea.
Lu Li was afraid that someone would come after him. Therefore, he flew close to the surface of the sea. At the same time, he used the Trace of Dao to sense the surroundings, fearing that some powerful body or monster might pop up from the sea. Monsters could come out at any time.
After flying for six hours, Lu Li arrived at a small island and found the entrance to the next level. He built some runes and asked Blood Fairy to check. Then, he dashed into a deep cave.
After a flash of white light, Lu Li found himself in midair. There were many small stones floating in the air and they were flying and moving slowly.
"How …"
Lu Li was taken aback. He was in midair?
There were stones flying in the air?
How similar was this to the scene when the nameless Demon Emperor chased after the huge chain with a group of warriors?
Was the nameless Demon Emperor and the powerful warriors of the four forces here?
Lu Li took a closer look. His mind was weighed down. The scene here was so similar to what he had seen before. The nameless Demon Emperor and powerful warriors of the four forces were probably on this floor!
It did not matter where the nameless Demon Emperor was. It did not matter if the huge chain was taken by the nameless Demon Emperor or by the powerful warriors of the four forces.
What mattered was that if the powerful warriors of the four forces were here, Lu Li would be in grave danger.
Even if he ran into the powerful warriors of the Dragon Rebel Race, they wouldn't care about right or wrong. They would take him down and interrogate him first or search his soul and then kill him.
Therefore, Lu Li was in a precarious situation. He might run into powerful warriors in front of him and pursuers behind him. He was in a dilemma.
"Move!"
No matter how difficult it was, he had to go. Lu Li flew downward. It would be easier for him to find a place to hide.
However, after flying for several miles, he stopped because there were runes down there …
He did not know what kind of runes they were. But since there were runes down there, they must be useful, not just for decoration.
In other words, one could only fly in midair on this floor. They couldn't go down or fly upwards.
Apart from some floating rocks, there was nothing else in the air.
There was nowhere to hide in this kind of place. Although the light in the sky was not very bright, it was still easy to see the scene tens of thousands of miles away.
Within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers, if anyone was nearby, they would be able to locate him easily.
"Hmm, this is the sky?"
Suddenly, an idea popped into Lu Li's mind. Was this level above the one he had just been on?
It was separated by the divine runes.
Otherwise, how could they see a group of people chasing after the Sky-Spanning Giant Chain?
"Very likely!"
Lu Li nodded slightly. Perhaps under certain circumstances, the scene above could be refracted and seen by the people below.
This possibility was very high. Otherwise, there was no way to explain the scenes they saw.
"Go!"
Lu Li flew carefully and kept an eye on the surroundings. If there was any sign of trouble, he would have to take out the God Boat and flee.
However, the Godspeed Boat's speed was about the same as a Lord-class monster's. If a Lord-class monster locked onto him, his fate would be bleak.
"Xiu!"
From the distance came a huge rock. It was so fast that at first, Lu Li thought it was an attack from a monster.
He thought for a moment. Instead of trying to dodge, he smashed at the rock with his powerful warrior. He wanted to see if there was anything special about the rock here.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, Lu Li was knocked away by a strong force. The rock, on the other hand, was not damaged at all. It continued to fly away at a speed comparable to a warrior of the Fifth Tribulation.
"How …"
Lu Li was shocked. Was this a rock or a Relic weapon?
It was so strong.
His punch could even hurt a warrior of the Fifth Tribulation. How come the rock was not damaged at all?
"No, there are divine runes!"
Lu Li suddenly realized something. When he attacked, the rock glowed. There must be powerful divine runes inside the rock.
"Whoosh!"
Soon, another rock the size of a head flew over. Lu Li smashed at it again. This time, the rock moved a bit but it was not damaged.
"There are divine runes!"
This time, Lu Li used the Trace of Dao to check carefully. There were indeed divine runes on the rock. Just now, the divine runes glowed for a moment but soon went back to normal. Lu Li had to be very careful to see with his naked eyes.
"Well …"
Lu Li stood where he was, deep in thought. All of a sudden, he had an idea. If this idea could be realized, he might be able to deceive everyone, find the entrance to the next level, and then escape.
"Well, let's see!"
After a moment, Lu Li flew into the distance. He looked around for more rocks. Soon, he noticed one that had a radius of more than one hundred feet. It was flying fast, comparable to the middle stage of the Fifth Tribulation.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li leaped up and caught up with the boulder. He grabbed the protruding edge of the boulder and said, "Blood Fairy, find a way to crack the runes on the boulder so that I can go inside. But you cannot damage the runes."
That was right!
Lu Li's plan was to hide in the rock. If he could crack the divine runes on the rock, he could dig a hole and hide in it. Then, he could set up some divine runes to cover the hole and his energy.
He could not use psychic power here. As long as he could hide in the rock, unless he was extremely unlucky, he would not be discovered.
He could follow the rock and when he found the exit, he could make a run for it.
Of course!
Lu Li could not use psychic power, and the psychic powers of the Dragon Rebel Abyss and the others were restricted as well. That did not mean that lords would be restricted as well.
On the off chance that lords could use psychic power to check and Lu Li was discovered, he would still die.
Lu Li had nowhere else to go. At the very least, hiding in the rock would be safer. He could only hope that the psychic powers of the lords were restricted as well.
"Blood Fairy, hurry up. If your master is discovered, I will be doomed!"
Lu Li crawled to the top of the rock. He hid his energy and tried to make himself less obvious.
Blood Fairy did not send him a message. Instead, she checked the rock to see if she could crack the divine runes.
Admittedly, Lu Li was lucky. In just over two hours, Blood Fairy came back with good news. "Master, there are powerful divine runes in the rock. But I have mastered a core pattern. I can disturb the divine runes for a while and they will lose their effect. You can dig a hole and hide in it."
"Okay!"
Lu Li was cheered up. He took out a Relic weapon. When the rock glowed, Lu Li waved the Relic weapon.
Stone chips were flying in the air. A small hole was dug out easily. Lu Li even made a turn in the hole and dug out a space for him to sit with his legs crossed.
However, Blood Fairy sent him a piece of bad news. "Master, you have damaged some of the patterns. I need to fix them. I will need at least half a day. I will help you set up some divine runes to hide your energy. It will be up to your luck whether you are discovered or not …"
