Lu Li wanted to stop the crystal ball from glowing but he felt it was out of his control. The crystal ball was actively absorbing the cold air around and then the beam of light was injected into the statue.
The statue was getting brighter and brighter and the energy was getting more and more horrifying. It was as if the statue was coming to life. Lu Li could not move at all. He could not even stand straight as if he was going to collapse to the ground.
He wanted to go into the Realm of Magic as well but there was something in his mind that told him to wait.
Wait for what?
Wait for death?
Lu Li didn't know. He thought he was lucky. After all, he could control the Almighty Artifact and absorb the cold air.
He had indirectly received the legacy of the Ice Empress. The statue of the Ice Empress couldn't have killed him.
The statue of the Ice Empress must have done something before she died. There must be a deeper meaning behind it.
Of course, this was just Lu Li's speculation. He had no way of knowing the real situation.
Lu Li waited quietly. He even stopped breathing. After the time for more than a dozen breaths, Lu Li felt like days had passed.
The crystal ball in his hand suddenly stopped glowing. Finally, the glow from the statue was getting brighter and the energy was no longer growing. To Lu Li, the statue seemed to have come to life. Its eyes were staring at Lu Li as if they were alive.
Lu Li felt weak. He forced himself to stand and stared at the statue.
After the time for several breaths, the abdomen of the statue suddenly lit up. Then a swirl of cold air appeared and there was a strong suction force in the swirl.
"Ah?"
Lu Li was shocked. He wanted to go into the Realm of Magic but it was too late. His body seemed to have been frozen and he could not move. He could only watch helplessly as he flew toward the abdomen of the statue and into the swirl.
His body kept spinning until he was dizzy. He felt like he was in a tunnel of time and space. He kept spinning without knowing where he was going.
Lu Li didn't know how long he had been spinning. He thought it had been at least a month or two, maybe longer?
Towards the end, he lost consciousness. His mind was in a daze.
"Boom ~"
Finally, he smashed into the ground and landed on a hard layer of ice.
Lu Li closed his eyes and rested for a while. After the time for one incense stick to burn, he felt better. He opened his eyes to sense the outside world.
"Uh …"
Lu Li was stunned. He had entered the world he sensed from the statue, the world of ice and snow, the source of the cold air.
The surroundings were filled with snow and wind, and everything was hazy. He couldn't sense too far away.
"Eh?"
Once again, Lu Li noticed something that surprised him. His Dharma Realm was not absorbing the cold air, but his body was not frozen. He just felt the coldness seeping into his bones.
He stood up and circulated his Origin Energy to resist the cold, but he discovered that his body was still cold.
Not only was his body cold, but his soul was also cold. It was so cold that his body was a little numb, and his blood almost couldn't flow.
"What's going on?"
Lu Li didn't move. Instead, he began to think.
He was rather puzzled. Why had the light of the Sovereign artifact's crystal ball struck the statue and caused such a change?
He was actually sucked into this strange world. Could he still get out?
Is there an exit?
"Let's see if I can use a Sovereign artifact first."
Lu Li thought about it and took out the Sovereign artifact. Luckily, he had the crystal ball with him all the time. If he lost the crystal ball, the Sovereign artifact would be useless.
He used the Sovereign artifact. It glowed. Lu Li used psychic power to check the map.
"Well … this is good!"
The Sovereign artifact could still be used. He could check the outside world easily. He was a bit relieved. At the very least, he could send a message to Lu Ling. The Lu Family didn't have to worry about his life. If something happened to the Lu Family, he could take command remotely.
"Where are the two Realm Lords?"
Lu Li used psychic power to check the situation outside the Ice River Valley. He found two Realm Lords near the cold pond in the underground cave.
When he scanned the two with psychic power, he suddenly realized that he had done something stupid.
He could sense that these two Great Perfection Stage beings had been scared away by the aura emitted by the statue. If he used his Divine Will to scan them, wouldn't he be able to tell them that he was still alive and that the statue hadn't released any attacks?
Wasn't that telling the two Realm Lords that they could come in?
If Lu Li didn't check, the two Realm Lords might think that he was killed by the statue and the Sovereign artifact might be destroyed. By then, the two Realm Lords might not pursue the matter.
Now that he was exposed, the two Realm Lords would get to the bottom of this.
"Never mind. It's okay!"
Lu Li thought about it and realized that it was not as serious as he had imagined. He used the map to check the statue and was relieved to see that it had returned to its original state.
Even if the two Realm Lords could come in, would they dare to go near the statue?
They had no Sovereign artifact and could not activate the statue. Naturally, they could not come in.
If they were to act recklessly, they might be killed by the runes of the statue.
Lu Li took a closer look at the statue and found that it was exactly the same as before.
He checked again. Blood Fairy did not follow him in. She was in a side chamber, working on the runes.
Blood Fairy could only send a message. Lu Li was in another world and could not contact her.
That being said, Blood Fairy's senses were strong. If the two Realm Lords were to come closer, Blood Fairy would be able to tell. There were runes everywhere. If she could sneak into the runes, the two Realm Lords would not be able to do anything to her.
The two Realm Lords were on the move!
Since Lu Li could use the Sovereign artifact, then the danger of the statue must have been resolved.
How could Lu Li use the Sovereign artifact before the danger was resolved?
Before Kun Mo came out, he could tell that Lu Li was trapped as well.
Kun Mo thought about it for a while. He decided to wait for half a day and then go back to check. If the energy of the Sovereign was gone, then they would take action again.
That was what Kun Mo was thinking. If there was a remnant soul of the Ice Empress, then they would not be able to escape. They would die on the spot.
After a long time, Kun Mo said, "Wait here. When the situation is stable, I will crush the jade talisman and you can come in!"
Kun Mo threw out a jade talisman and then dashed into the tunnel.
He went in and sensed that the energy of the statue was gone. He was a bit relieved.
He did not move around. He stayed where he was and sensed.
Slowly, he went into the hall. After a moment, he could relax.
He sensed that the statue had returned to its original state.
This meant that there was no remnant soul of the Sovereign artifact.
It was just that Lu Li accidentally triggered some traps and triggered some of the traps set by the Ice Empress.
If there was a remnant soul, he and Bei Xuan would have died.
"What?"
Soon, Kun Mo came back to his senses. He was surprised to see that Lu Li was missing. He could not sense any signs of life in the hall. Though the hall was isolated by many runes, it was easy to sense signs of life. How could a powerful warrior like Kun Mo not sense it?
"Has he been teleported into a side chamber or a secret room and is about to receive the legacy of the Ice Empress?"
Kun Mo murmured. A glint of coldness rose in his eyes as he strode in.
Now that he had made his move, he could not give up. He must … kill Lu Li.
