Lu Li was strong. He had killed dozens of warriors that were close to the absolute realm, let alone Saint Emperors. Some said that he was the most powerful warrior below the absolute realm.
There was something wrong with this. Lu Li's main attack power came from the super flames and the Perishing Liquid.
Of course, this was also because he had a miraculous State of Dharma, which was one of his abilities.
Every powerful warrior had their own unique abilities. Other warriors didn't have a State of Dharma, which was one of Lu Li's strengths.
Lu Li was perfect in all aspects. The only thing he lacked was his realm. In the eight galaxies, Saint Emperors were like dogs, let alone in the Immortal Region.
Saint Emperor was the most basic realm. If one could not reach it, how could one be called a powerful warrior?
The Lu Alliance had many talented disciples and the future was bright. But the Lu Alliance didn't have a single Saint Emperor.
The powerful warriors attached to Lu Li didn't count. Those were just factions, not the Lu Alliance itself.
Now that Lu Li had made the breakthrough, the Lu Alliance had its first Saint Emperor.
It didn't matter. What mattered was that Lu Li had made the breakthrough. His abilities must have improved, more or less.
This was good news for the Lu Alliance.
Also, Lu Li's breakthrough was significant. Lu Li's status would be more secure.
When he was at the Emperor Realm, he could already kill warriors that were close to the absolute realm as if they were dogs. He could even fight against those at the absolute realm.
Now that he was a Saint Emperor, would he be able to fight against those at the absolute realm?
Lu Li didn't come down after the breakthrough. Instead, he sat on the dais to check the changes in his body, to see how much he had improved.
The first thing he did was to check his body. It was three times stronger than before. He could rely on his physical strength to withstand a move that was close to the absolute realm.
His soul was improved as well, by three or four times.
Lu Li's life force had also been improved, which meant that his life had been extended. Normally, a Saint Emperor could live for more than one hundred thousand years. If nothing went wrong, a Saint Emperor could live for two or three hundred thousand years.
"Well, not bad!"
Lu Li checked himself and was satisfied.
He was about to go down when he remembered something. He used psychic power to check the State of Dharma.
This scan caused his soul to tremble slightly. This was because he discovered that there seemed to be a change in the Dharma Realm, and it was a very strange change.
He looked inside himself, and then disappeared from his original spot in a flash, entering the Dharma Realm.
He stood in the Dharma Realm and looked around with his eyes wide open. He sensed his surroundings and could feel a rhythm. It was as if the Dharma Realm was breathing and emitted formless waves.
It could be said that the last mutation had given the Dharma Realm a skeleton and made it more stable.
This time, Lu Li felt the Dharma Realm had come to life. There was something similar to life flowing in the Dharma Realm. Surges of miraculous Daoist rhythms were flowing in the Dharma Realm. Lu Li felt he was back in his mother's placenta. He felt comfortable.
"This …"
Lu Li exclaimed. Over the years, he had read a lot about the Dharma Realm and had gained a deeper understanding of it.
The Dharma Realm itself was just a small space created by experts. It was a kind of Sumeru space.
There was still a difference between this kind of Sumeru space and a real world. It was impossible for the Dharma Realm to become a real world. At most, it could be refined into a supreme treasure land.
Many experts' Dharma Realms were huge, even bigger than a small world.
Inside the Dharma Realm, there might be energy in heaven and earth, flowers, trees, and beasts.
That being said, when Lu Li went in, he could feel that those spaces were different from a real world. Those were strange spaces, not real worlds.
Those spaces were dead, not alive!
Now, Lu Li sensed that his realm was coming to life. There was a trace of Taoist Dao and a mysterious energy. Lu Li could not tell what it was, nor could he sense it. But he could tell that the realm was changing, evolving, sharpening!
Previously, the Dharma Realm had been expanding as well. But that was only the space. Nothing else changed.
But this was different!
This was a sharp change, an evolution!
Of course, this was Lu Li's subjective deduction and judgment.
Lu Li wasn't sure if this was really the case. It was just a feeling he had.
He stood in the Dharma Realm and sensed it quietly. He stood there for five days. Then, Lu Li opened his eyes.
There was a look of worry on his face. After sensing for five days, he could clearly feel that the Dharma Realm was slowly changing. Although the changes were very, very slow, they were indeed constantly changing.
But was it good or bad?
The Dharma Realm was the source of his strength. Without the Dharma Realm, there would be no source of energy.
Without the Dharma Realm, he could not even use Stealth Skill or Traceless Path.
Without the Dharma Realm, he would not have the super flames or the Liquid of Devastation.
If something were to happen to the Dharma Realm, then his abilities would be greatly reduced. He might even become disabled.
His Dharma Realm had changed!
He didn't know how to deal with it or who to ask. This had never happened in history. Even if he went to Emperor of Feather, Emperor of Mo or Emperor of Wings, he wouldn't be able to get any answers.
If he could ask the Clan Leader of the Gang Race, that consummate realm warrior, or the King of the East Region, he might be able to get some guidance.
But the Dharma Realm was his secret. How could he share it with others?
Strictly speaking, the Dharma Realm was not changing. The existence of the Dharma Realm was not normal.
How could a warrior at the Fifth Tribulation Realm build a Dharma Realm?
Therefore, any change in the Dharma Realm could be accepted by Lu Li …
"Never mind. I don't care!"
Lu Li shook his head. He would monitor it more in the future. There was no need to keep an eye on it now.
His body flashed out, and then he floated down the high platform, landing next to Lu Meng's martial artists.
The higher-ups of the Lu Alliance congratulated Lu Li. Lu Li smiled and said, "Let's go. Let's go back to the Tianyue City."
"Okay!"
The group of powerful warriors flew to the north in a formidable array. In less than an hour, they arrived at a big city. Then, they took the Teleportation Formation back to the Tianyue City.
As soon as Lu Li came back, many powerful warriors swarmed over to congratulate Lu Li.
Lu Li had only reached the Saint King Realm. But for Lu Li's faction, it was a joyous event.
After a few days of excitement, Lu Li was ready to take a quiet rest.
Lu Renhuang hurried in and asked with surprise, "Li-er, you have a master?"
"Master?"
Lu Li blinked in confusion and asked, "Why do you ask?"
"There is news from the Middle King Universe that a mysterious powerful warrior has gone there. He said he is your master and he is looking for you!"
Lu Renhuang took out a letter, read it and said, "Right, he said his name is Emperor Rui!"
To protect the Middle King Universe, Lu Li sent a master of formations from the God of Death to build a messaging altar so that he could send a message in case of emergency.
Lu Li came to his senses when he heard the name "Emperor Rui". He remembered a dusty past. If it were not for Lu Renhuang, he would have forgotten about the Endless Ruins.
Lu Li stood up and asked, "What else did he say?"
Lu Renhuang explained, "He didn't say much. He just said that Emperor Rui has something urgent to talk to you about."
