The rune didn't crush Lu Li to death, but he was like a curled up earthworm. He couldn't even move his fingers. He could only watch as the golden chain rushed toward him.
Three hundred feet!
Lu Li's bones were cracking. His blood was tumbling and he had stopped breathing.
The dragon soul in his soul was glowing. He was agitated and fearful. His soul was trembling violently.
One hundred feet!
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Many bones in Lu Li's body were crushed. He was bleeding from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth. The power of the golden chain was horrifying. Strong as Lu Li was, it was not enough.
"I am dead, I am dead!"
Lu Li's bones were cracking when he was still one hundred feet away. His soul seemed to be on the verge of collapse. The dragon soul was moving around but it could not stabilize his soul.
Five feet!
Right when Lu Li thought he was doomed for sure, the traces of the Great Path in his body began to move on their own. The more than three thousand traces of the Great Path glowed faintly and wandered around inside his body. To his surprise, they helped him fend off the might of the chains.
When the traces of the Great Path were activated, the golden chain began to tremble. Then, it sped up and dashed toward Lu Li in a blur.
"Boom!"
Under the suppression of the might of the chain, Lu Li could not stand it any longer. He passed out. The golden chain reached Lu Li and then penetrated into his body.
The golden chain was the size of a human being and was more than one thousand feet long. But it was only a shadow. When the front part of the golden chain entered Lu Li's body, the back part followed.
The Golden Chain with a length of more than 1000 feet rushed into Lu Li's body and disappeared in the end.
"Eh..."
The unknown demon king seemed to be able to see into the rocks. He was taken aback but he did not break the rocks or attack Lu Li.
He opened one hand and condensed an invisible divine power to imprison the boulder.
"What?"
The group of experts surrounding them were also stunned.
In the past, when the golden chain went into the stone, it would come out soon.
This time, it did not come out. It was hiding in the stone.
There was a person in the stone. Was it a powerful warrior hiding in there who was trying to take control of the golden chain?
There were still some people from the four great powers who weren't here. Could they be experts from the four great powers?
The Nameless Demon Thearch didn't attack but stood near the rock. No one dared to attack either. They stood nearby in silence and waited for the Nameless Demon Thearch's next move.
Some people vaguely guessed what this giant golden chain was, but most people still didn't know. They only knew that it was a treasure of the world.
The reason why they had been chasing was because the Nameless Demon Thearch had said that the treasure would belong to whoever could subdue it. He would never snatch it.
The group of people had been following the Nameless Demon Thearch. Firstly, it was because of this treasure of heaven and earth. Secondly, they wanted to follow the Nameless Demon Thearch.
He wanted to observe and learn from an Emperor-class powerhouse's methods. If he could gain some insights, it would be better than obtaining any treasures.
A moment later, the Nameless Demon Thearch revealed a look of surprise again. He murmured in a voice that only he could hear, "This kid actually trapped the god sequence chains …"
The golden chain went into Lu Li's body. It had shrunk to dozens of times, turning into a small golden dragon that was moving around in Lu Li's body.
The dragon had been trying to get out, but the more than three thousand traces of the great path were moving quickly. They formed a cage that trapped the golden chain inside Lu Li's body.
Lu Li had passed out. He had no idea what was going on. Even if he did, he couldn't control it.
The giant golden chain scuttled around in his body, but it couldn't escape.
The more than three thousand traces of the great path were shrinking. The range of movement of the golden chain was shrinking as well.
"Interesting, interesting!"
The Nameless Demon Thearch was curious. He had a clear sense of Lu Li's situation. Lu Li was just a warrior at the peak of the third tribulation. Even though Lu Li had cultivated an immortal body, Lu Li was no different from an ant to the Nameless Demon Thearch.
The Nameless Demon Thearch had been chasing after Lu Li for a long time and had tried many ways but failed to take control of the golden chain. Now, it was trapped by an insignificant warrior?
How could he not be curious about such a strange thing?
Time moved on. The Nameless Demon Thearch was not in a hurry. He didn't move, nor did the others. The Nameless Demon Thearch was standing right next to the rock. Who dared to attack him?
What if the Nameless Demon Thearch was hit by any shockwave …
The Nameless Demon Thearch kept staring at the rock. The others could sense something, but they could not tell what was going on inside.
Only a few of them could tell that there was a person inside, but they could not tell who it was.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, the Nameless Demon Thearch's eyes glowed. He was even more surprised.
The more than three thousand traces of the great path in Lu Li's body had turned the golden chain … no, it had become a small golden chain.
The three thousand traces of the great path had entangled the small golden chain. Now, the small golden chain could not move.
The traces of the great path had begun to corrode the small golden chain, or to be exact, to devour it.
One of the traces of the great path gave out a holy glow that devoured the small golden chain bit by bit. At the same time, the trace of the great path began to turn golden.
"What is that?"
The Nameless Demon Thearch was surprised. He was experienced and knowledgeable, but he had never seen the traces of the great path in Lu Li's body.
More importantly, the Nameless Demon Thearch could not understand how a warrior at the peak of the third tribulation could have such strange means.
Another hour passed. The small golden chain was completely devoured, and one of the traces of the great path had turned golden as well.
The three thousand traces of the great path wandered back to where Lu Li carved them.
Lu Li's body had calmed down. His body's self-healing ability began to work. Lu Li's wounds began to heal.
"What a marvelous technique!"
The Nameless Demon Thearch murmured. From the beginning to the end, he did not take any action. There was no killing intent in his eyes. Instead, he was exclaiming.
After a moment of thought, he suddenly opened his hand and swept toward the rock.
"Buzzing ~"
A ripple spread out. The rock gradually shrank. In the end, the Nameless Demon Thearch grabbed it in his hand.
The Nameless Demon Thearch turned to the others nearby and said, "Treasures in heaven and earth belong to the fated. We are not fated. Don't force it.
I will leave now. Take your time to explore. This is indeed a land of treasures refined by a Saint Emperor. Explore it carefully. Maybe you will all gain something. "
"Whoosh!"
With that said, the Nameless Demon Thearch vanished into the distance with the rock in his hand. In an instant, he vanished without a trace.
The others looked at each other, confused. What did the Nameless Demon Thearch mean?
Didn't he bring this stone because he wanted to slowly refine the Sky-Spanning Giant Chain?
Why did he say that they were not fated?
But what the Nameless Demon Thearch said next shocked everyone. The words of a powerful warrior of the Great Emperor Realm could be trusted.
It was confirmed that this was a land of treasures refined by a Saint Emperor. If they could explore it carefully, there was a chance that they could gain something.
