Clearly, this was some kind of sorcery. The sorcery was taking energy from others to strengthen itself.
It was not just one or two warriors, but a whole group. In such a short time, tens of thousands of warriors had been carried away.
The red light covered a wide area. Thousands of warriors were covered at once. The speed of absorption was fast. In the time for a few breaths, the thousands of warriors would be exhausted and could not even stand up.
Lu Li had thought that the Originator Artifact of the Feather Race was just a shield with strong defense. He did not expect that it could be so powerful that it could release such sorcery.
Those warriors might not be strong. Their energy could not be taken away completely. Even if they could, they could not absorb too much energy.
That being said, there were too many warriors. Taking one bit of energy from each of the tens of thousands would be a horrifying number.
Lu Li did not take action at once. He thought quickly. In an instant, dozens of ideas came to his mind.
The two best options were to leave at once or to break the shield to stop this Feather Race patriarch from absorbing more energy.
This sorcery was too powerful. The side effects must be severe. The Feather Race patriarch could gain strength for a short time, but his body would not be able to stand it for too long.
When Lu Li took the Slayer's blood, he almost exploded. If it were not for the silver dragon Bloodline, he would not be able to use the energy in the Slayer's blood.
Even so, he passed out in the end. His life energy was consumed. It took him several months to recover. His hair was still white …
If Lu Li left for a moment, in an hour at most, the Feather Race patriarch would not be able to stand it anymore. He might even die, let alone pass out.
What the patriarch was doing was directly and forcefully absorbing other people's energy. He was no different from a demon. Too many different types of energy in his body would result in a powerful backlash.
That was the problem!
If Lu Li left, would the Feather Race patriarch kill Lu Zhengyang and the others in a fit of rage when he could not kill Lu Li?
Lu Zhengyang and the others were at their weakest. Once the formation was opened, the Feather Race patriarch could kill all of them easily.
"I cannot leave!"
Soon, Lu Li made up his mind. He would use another drop of the Slayer's blood.
He believed that as long as he used the blood of the Slayer, he could easily kill the elder of the Feather Tribe, no matter how strong he was.
The Slayer's blood could not be used easily. Lu Li did not want to repeat what happened last time. Last time, he was so weak that he was not sure if there were any side effects.
How could they stop the Harpy elder from absorbing more energy?
Either they could break through the Ancestral Artifact's barrier and attack this elder, or they could force him to give up.
Lu Li turned to Ye Nishang at the Mountain of Wings. He made up his mind at once. This time, he had to go even if the Mountain of Wings was filled with dangers.
"Dragon Demon!
Follow me! "
Lu Li yelled. He gave an order to the Dragon Demon. He flew up toward the Mountain of Wings.
The Bead of Life under his feet glowed. Countless Feather Wind whooshed out and formed many Feather Wind weapons.
"Hoot hoot!"
The Dragon Demon bellowed. It flapped its wings and dashed forward. After a while, the Dragon Demon stomped on the ground and leaped into the sky.
"Get down!"
The Feather Race patriarch, who was still absorbing energy, was taken aback. He took out a saber and hacked at the sky.
A ray of silver light poured out from the saber. It was like the Milky Way was hanging upside down. In an instant, the silver light reached toward Lu Li.
Everywhere the silver light passed by, space would be torn apart. A sense of fatal danger emerged from the depth of Lu Li's soul.
"Hmm!"
Lu Li snorted. He was not worried. The Wicked Bead in his hand glowed as he vanished in midair. The silver light reached over and landed on the Wicked Bead.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the Wicked Bead did not move one bit. After a glow, the Wicked Bead flew up into the sky.
"Well …"
Warriors and powerful Feather Race warriors were in an uproar. Many had never seen the Wicked Bead. When the patriarch of the Feather Race released that move, they all thought Lu Li would be hacked to death.
However, such a powerful move could not even move the Wicked Bead, let alone break it.
Lu Li chose to stay because of the Slayer's blood and because he had something he could count on, the Wicked Bead!
The Wicked Bead was a Relic with a strong defensive ability. Even if the patriarch's abilities were horrifying, it was unlikely that he could crack the Wicked Bead.
The patriarch could not last for a long time. The Wicked Bead contained abundant energy. Back in the days, a group of Semi-God Realm warriors from the Mage Imperial Universe could not crack the Wicked Bead no matter how hard they tried.
"Chief Patriarch!"
The Feather Race Earth Immortal Realm warrior was taken aback. Ye Nishang was their hope. If Ye Nishang was killed, then the Feather Race would be doomed.
He knew that Ye Nishang had another card up her sleeve. That being said, he was still worried. After all, Lu Li was not an average warrior. He was a human warrior that could defeat the Asmodian Lord.
Concern would lead to confusion!
The patriarch made up his mind in an instant. He deactivated the shield and stopped absorbing the warriors' energy. He tried to help Ye Nishang for a moment.
"Don't stop, you idiot!"
As soon as he deactivated the shield, Ye Nishang's angry voice came from above. The Wicked Bead that was flying toward the Mountain of Wings suddenly came back down. That Dragon Demon was also coming toward him like a sharp sword.
How many battles had Lu Li been through?
He did not rely on others' help. He had fought his way up. His experience was not weaker than many warriors. While he was flying up, he had been paying attention to the Feather Race Earth Immortal Realm warrior with psychic power.
"Buzzing ~"
The Feather Race Earth Immortal Realm warrior tried to activate the Originator Artifact again. However, the Wicked Bead was too fast. The Wicked Bead smashed into him like a shooting star.
The Feather Race Earth Immortal Realm warrior was smashed to the ground. Though he was not seriously injured, he was dizzy.
"Hoot, hoot ~"
He had just come back to his senses when the sky above him darkened. A roar pierced his eardrums. A huge claw whooshed over, growing larger in his eyes.
"Oh no!"
At the last moment, the Feather Race Earth Immortal Realm warrior poured Xuan Energy into the shield, trying to activate the Originator Artifact to stop the Dragon Demon.
However, as soon as the Originator Artifact glowed, the Dragon Demon's horn glowed. The red airwave spread out. The patriarch of the Feather Race could not move anymore.
The Dragon Demon's claw came at him. The Dragon Demon was as fast as the Wicked Bead. The Dragon Demon was right behind Lu Li.
"Boom!"
The Feather Race Earth Immortal Realm warrior and the Originator Artifact were smashed into the ground by the Dragon Demon. The horrifying strength came through the shield. The patriarch of the Feather Race was crushed into a pulp …
The Feather Race Earth Immortal Realm warrior did not absorb much energy. If he could absorb the energy from the millions of warriors, he might be able to survive the Dragon Demon's attack.
Back at the Ocean Land of the East, the Dragon Demon was already as strong as a Semi-God Realm warrior. After consuming so many eggs of the Feiyi Beast, the Dragon Demon had grown stronger.
The patriarch of the Feather Race had not activated the Originator Artifact. How could he survive the Dragon Demon?
"Alas …"
