As far as many disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect were concerned, the first 10 levels of the Sword Formation of Celestial Emperor were for Fifth Tribulation warriors. To be able to pass the 10th level meant that one's abilities were comparable to a lord's.
The next 10 levels were for Sixth Tribulation warriors. If one could pass the 20th level, it would mean that one had the abilities of a Quasi Emperor and the Celestial Emperor Sect would grant one the position of a patriarch.
Therefore, after the 11th level, Lu Li felt different. This was not a simple stone room, but a cave with complicated terrain. It was dimmer in here. As soon as Lu Li stepped into the cave, he sensed danger on all sides. It was as if he would be attacked from all sides if he took a random step.
He did not move forward rashly. Instead, he sat down and rested.
He had just used the Dragon Wrestling Skill. He needed some time to recover to his peak state.
He consumed some pellets and some pellets for souls. Then, he sat down for half a day to recover to his peak state.
He released psychic power but realized that it was restricted here. He had to use the Trace of Dao to sense the surroundings.
He found nothing after a while. The cave was narrow and not spacious. He could not tell how long it was exactly.
"Move!
“
He used the Dragon Wrestling Skill and the Heaven Armor Skill. He had the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda in his hand. He was using the Imperial Weapon as a shield.
As a matter of fact, he could fly forward on the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda but he didn't. He believed that he would not be able to use the Imperial Weapon later on. If he could not pass the 11th level, then he could forget about the later levels.
He took a step forward, and the sound of something tearing through the air rang out in all directions. Then, swords flew out one after another. These swords were not sword lights, but more like real treasured swords.
"Hoy!
“
Lu Li generated many Abominable Talismans and dashed toward the huge swords. When the Abominable Talismans and the swords collided, a shockwave spread out.
Lu Li was knocked back but soon, he rushed forward again. He kept using the Abominable Talismans to pave the way and move forward with difficulty.
There were too many swords coming from all sides. The Abominable Talismans could not stop them. Inevitably, Lu Li was hit.
He was smashed away. The swords were powerful. They tore his skin apart. That being said, his body was strong enough that he was not injured.
"Let me go!"
Lu Li did not even have time to tend to his wounds. He tried his best to dodge the swords and he would use the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda from time to time.
Lu Li moved forward with difficulty. He was smashed away but he kept going.
It was a winding tunnel with a length of hundreds of miles. Lu Li could have reached it in a blink if it were under normal circumstances.
But here, it took him the time for dozens of breaths to pass.
His body was already riddled with wounds. After rushing through the door, he heaved a sigh of relief. He deactivated the Dragon Wrestling Art and sat cross-legged to heal his wounds, recalling the situation of the attack just now.
After resting for half a day and recovering from his wounds, Lu Li continued to walk down the stone stairs to challenge the 12 levels.
Lu Cultivation. Now, Spirit as as Lu, he as all. Two Lu Divine Mountain Spirit, Lu.
Lu. as Tribals to Seven as he could, he. in as. as he … there in as in. as he there, there, the level was to.
Lu Only. as he was was Tribals. Seven Lu was to Level... The Tribwas to be to King to. Only. Seven. as. Qi.. Lu Lu Lu Lu Tribas
The later stages would probably be several times harder than the previous stages, maybe even dozens of times harder.
The terrain of the 12th level was the same as the 11th. Lu Li thought he was back at the 11th level.
But he didn't see any blood on the ground. He did bleed before.
Lu Li didn't use the Dragon Transformation either. Instead, he relied on his strong body. Just like at the 11th level, he used the Abominable Talisman to clear the way and used the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda to fend off some swords.
Lu Li made it through this level with difficulty. The swords were many times more powerful than the ones before. Lu Li was covered in cuts and bruises. But his physical body was so strong that he was not seriously injured.
Lord Li said he could leave as long as Lu Li could pass the 15th level.
But Lu Li had passed the 12th level.
He didn't even use the Dragon Transformation, which confused Lu Li. Was Lord Li going easy on him on purpose?
Was he giving him some small punishment?
Half a day later, Lu Li realized he was wrong!
Even though the terrain of the 13th level was the same, Lu Li tried to force his way through but was knocked back. If it weren't for the fact that he used the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda to fend off most of the attacks, he would have been badly injured.
He tried to see if he could enter the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda and realized that the space was restricted. He could not go in.
He had no other choice but to use the Dragon Transformation and transform into a dragon warrior.
Lu Li felt he was filled with power and that his claws could crush anything. His confidence was boosted by a hundred times. He rushed forward in a frenzy.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
Many swords came from all directions and landed on Lu Li's scales. His scales were broken into pieces.
That being said, Lu Li's physical body was too strong at the moment. It was just that his scales were broken and he suffered some moderate injuries.
Even so, when Lu Li reached the end, he was covered in blood. After he used the Dragon Transformation, his defensive ability could be compared to a Quasi-Emperor's. Yet, he was still injured. The Sword Formation of Emperor was powerful.
"Should I go through the 14th level in one go?
Or should I stop the Dragon Transformation and take a rest? "
Lu Li was hesitating. He could only sustain the Dragon Transformation for an hour or so.
Although he was injured, his physical recovery ability in the state of the Divine Dragon Transformation was very abnormal. He would be fine after some simple treatment.
"Let's see!"
Nobody could die in the Sword Formation of Emperor. Lu Li took some healing pellets at once. After a while, his wounds were healed and he rushed toward the 14th level.
Lu Li was stunned when he pushed the door open. It was pitch dark in here. There was no light. He could not use psychic power to check.
He used the Mark of Dao to check but it was still pitch dark. He could not sense anything.
"It is so dark.
How can I find the exit? "
Lu Li was confused. He stood there for a while and then made up his mind to move forward. Later, he would be attacked by swords. By then, there would be some weak light.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
There came some noises. There were not many sounds and the noise was not loud. Lu Li could tell that the power was not strong.
But that was not important. What surprised Lu Li was that there was no light. Even his senses were not clear. He could not tell where the attacks were coming from.
"Tut, tut, tut ~"
Lu Li was hit by three sword ripples. His eyes were wide open. The three invisible sword ripples had pierced through his abdomen and chest.
"Retreat!"
Without any hesitation, Lu Li retreated to where he came from. The door behind him was closed. Lu Li could not get out even if he wanted to.
He stood where he was, not daring to move. Blood gushed out from his abdomen and dropped to the ground. But he was not aware of it.
He looked around in fear. He felt there were many powerful swordsmen hiding around him. If he dared to take one step forward, he would be attacked mercilessly.
Lu Li's defense was as strong as that of an Emperor Realm warrior. Yet, he was pierced through by the invisible sword ripples. If he had been hit in the head, wouldn't his head have been crushed?
"I thought I could make it through the 15th level with the help of the Dragon Transformation. I don't think I can even make it to the 14th level."
Lu Li smiled bitterly. He had thought that Lord Li was taking special care of him by asking him to go through the 15th level. Now, he realized that it was not easy.
…
