Could a person survive after being burnt to a crisp and losing all signs of life?
Average warriors would not be able to survive, not even those at the Emperor Realm. But not Lu Li.
Lu Li's elixir glowed. Following that, the divine chain emerged. The source of life in his body was growing rapidly.
The divine chain had a miraculous ability. When Lu Li's source of life was drained, it would protect him and help him recover.
This was not the first time. It had protected him many times.
With the source of life, the person could not die as long as his soul was still intact.
That being said, Lu Li's soul was under attack as well. His consciousness was blurred and his soul could collapse at any moment.
Right at that moment, another piece of Lu Li's artifact came into play, the Soul Devouring Bead.
With a glare, the Soul Devouring Bead flew out from the Interspatial Ring and entered Lu Li's soul.
The Soul Devouring Bead devoured all the energy in Lu Li's soul and transformed it into special energy to replenish his soul.
"Um ~"
Lu Li's soul came back to his senses. He felt the vigor in his body. Without any hesitation, he mobilized his source energy.
He consumed all the energy in his body and began to rebuild his physical body.
Destruction and rebirth!
This was the dual nature of thunderbolts. His body was burnt and destroyed. Since he was still alive, he could be reborn with the help of thunderbolts.
The reborn body would be stronger than before. It would become … the body of an emperor!
Lu Li's body was filled with residual energy of nine-colored thunderbolts. The energy was absorbed by him. His physical body was rebuilt, head, body, hands, feet …
It only took Lu Li the time for a dozen breaths to go from destruction to rebirth. He realized that his physical body was rebuilt and it was stronger. His soul trembled when he sensed the surging energy.
He had finally built the body of an emperor. In other words … he was at the Emperor Realm now?
"Wait —"
Lu Li suddenly understood. This was only the sixth level of tribulation. Was there one more to go?
Soul Tribulation?
"When the physical body is rebuilt, the soul must go through a baptism. Only in this way can the body transform. I am right!"
Lu Li nodded. While checking his body, he waited for the arrival of the Soul Tribulation.
Right at that moment, a small thunderbolt struck down from the sky. The thunderbolt didn't cause any harm to Lu Li, but it made him feel like the scenery around him had changed.
He found that his surroundings were hazy and he couldn't see anything clearly. He was in a trance.
He didn't move. He knew that the Heart Soul Tribulation was coming. This was all an illusion. His heart didn't waver at all. Since it was all an illusion, what was there to be surprised about?
No matter what happened, he would not have any fluctuations in his heart.
"Woo, woo, woo ~"
A dark cloud floated over and suddenly a Demon Lord appeared. That Demon Lord was Qian Yuan. Back then, Lu Li was almost killed by Qian Yuan.
Qian Yuan condensed in mid-air, took a look at Lu Li, looked up to the sky and laughed, "Ha, ha, ha, bastard of the human race, I can't believe you are actually going through the tribulation here?
Even the heavens are helping me. Go to hell! "
Qian Yuan turned into strands of black mist and rushed towards Lu Li. Then, he appeared next to Lu Li, and a black claw suddenly grabbed at Lu Li's chest.
Lu Li didn't move. He knew this was an illusion.
This was the Chilly Winter Land and he was far away from the battle zone. Powerful warriors from the Abyss of Demons couldn't appear here, and it couldn't be such a coincidence. Therefore, this Qian Yuan must be fake.
Since it was fake, then he couldn't move. He couldn't move with the illusion. Otherwise, he would be led by the illusion and go to the abyss of evil, sinking into it forever.
"Bang!"
Lu Li felt a sharp pain. There seemed to be a hole in his chest.
He could see that his chest was bleeding, his ribs were broken, and his internal organs were crushed.
At this moment, Lu Li even doubted that this was real. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in so much pain, and his chest wouldn't be bleeding. His whole body felt like he was really hurt.
"Ha, ha, ha, humble human, go to hell!"
Qian Yuan laughed again. He waved his claw at Lu Li's arm. Lu Li still didn't move, letting Qian Yuan crush his arm.
Then Qian Yuan reached for his other arm. Lu Li didn't move either.
He was sure that his judgment was correct. This was an illusion. This was the Soul Tribulation. There were no such coincidences in this world. The reason why he felt pain was because his soul was going through the tribulation. The pain was also an illusion in his soul.
Arms, legs, and head!
Lu Li felt he was being crushed. At this moment, his consciousness blurred again as if he had been killed.
But inside Lu Li's soul, his mind was still as still as water and as steady as a rock.
"Buzzing ~"
Qian Yuan disappeared. Lu Li's consciousness gradually came back. He was relieved to find that his body was fine and everything around him was in chaos.
That was the Tribulation of Soul. Luckily, he didn't do anything. Otherwise, nobody could tell what would have happened.
"Good!"
Right at that moment, a familiar voice suddenly came, which shocked Lu Li's soul. A person flew over from the distance with a kind smile on her face. She said, "Congratulations, Lu Li. You have finally reached the Emperor Realm. You didn't disappoint me."
"Devil!"
Lu Li didn't expect that the Devil was here.
It had been years and the Devil was still the same.
She walked toward Lu Li step by step. Her face was filled with kindness. Lu Li felt she was like a mother to him.
The Devil smiled. She walked to Lu Li and said again, "Lu Li, do you know why I don't want to see you?
Do you know why I know about the Holy Sky Island?
Do you want to know who I really am? "
"Yes!"
Lu Li replied instinctively. The Great Demon King was an eternal mystery in his heart, a mystery that he wanted to solve the most.
"I don't want to see you because I went to accomplish something important. I know about the Holy Sky Island because I brought Tu Qianjun and the others there. As for who I really am …"
As the Great Demon King spoke, her face changed and her body also changed. Her body suddenly turned into a shadow, then black scales appeared all over her body. Her face also became ferocious and terrifying. Most importantly, there was a vertical eye between her eyebrows.
She laughed and said, "I am the Asmodian Emperor of the Asmodian Abyss. Now, you have two choices. Surrender to the Asmodian Abyss or die!"
"Eh …"
Lu Li's soul trembled. He didn't expect that the Devil was a powerful warrior from the Asmodian Abyss.
Was this all part of a scheme?
The Devil wanted to control all the powerful human warriors through Immortal Tianzui and then kill them all at once?
"No!"
Lu Li came back to his senses soon. He said with disdain and determination, "I choose death. Bring it on!"
"Then I will grant you your wish!"
