When Lu Li got the Wicked Bead, he was only at the Noble Lord Realm. Back then, he could only dissolve the first layer of the seal but not the rest.
He could only dissolve the second layer when he reached the Human Sovereign Realm. Now, he could only dissolve the third layer after reaching the Earth Immortal Realm.
The fourth layer of the Semi-God Realm?
Only immortals could dissolve the fifth layer?
Then, to dissolve the sixth layer, one would have to be as powerful as a mighty warrior in the Divinity?
On this thought, Lu Li felt the Wicked Bead was not as simple as it appeared to be. Maybe, there was a story behind the bead.
Even in the Divinity, the Wicked Bead could be a powerful artifact. Otherwise, why would God of Wings be so determined to get the Wicked Bead?
Lu Li could not learn the Slayer's move and the two Profound Meanings of the line diagram were of little value. He did not have much time left. He had to pin his hopes on the Wicked Bead.
He poured Xuan Energy into the bead. The third layer of the seal glowed. Lu Li could clearly feel that the seal was being dissolved. But … the process was slow.
"Pour more Xuan Energy in!"
Lu Li poured more Xuan Energy and the process sped up.
He calculated and realized that to dissolve the third layer of the seal, it would take him about a year.
One year!
It had been a year since they came out. Another year should be fine. Warriors of the nine universes should come in three or four years. Lu Li still had time.
That being said …
If the Wicked Bead did not have any powerful abilities after the third layer of the seal was dissolved, then Lu Li would have a headache.
"Well, I will have a year. If I cannot solve the problem by then, I will have to use the Slayer's blood!"
Lu Li made up his mind. Even though the Slayer's blood was precious, he was in a critical situation. He had no other choice.
He opened his eyes and rested for half a day. He chatted with Patriarch of Law Enforcement for a while.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement felt ashamed. He had been cultivating for eight months and his abilities had not improved.
At his age, to make a breakthrough was as difficult as climbing up to the sky.
For a warrior, the age of 50 was a threshold. If a warrior could not reach the Fate Wheel Realm by the age of 50, it would be hard for him to achieve anything in his lifetime.
After that, the age of 100 would be another threshold. If a warrior could not reach the Noble Lord Realm by the age of 100, he would not have a promising future.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was not a talented man. But he was diligent in cultivation. He only reached the Human Sovereign Realm when he was in his 90s. He was already 150 years old when he reached the Earth Immortal Realm. Now, he was more than 220 years old.
He married very late and only gave birth to Lu Zhengtan when he was more than a hundred years old.
Although he was not the most outstanding in all aspects, he was very steady in his work, and his cultivation was very solid. He was very low-key, so he was the one with the highest achievements in his generation.
The Law Enforcement Elder knew his own limitations. His talent was not very good, and his thinking was rather old-fashioned.
At his age, he didn't think he could make any more progress.
Ascend to heaven?
Become a god on the spot?
For more than one million years, there were billions of human beings and geniuses were as numerous as carps swimming in the river. However, Emperor of Heaven Reverse was the only one among them.
Lu Li rested for half a day and had a good sleep. While cultivating Xuan Energy, he studied the Slayer's move and began to consume the Wicked Bead.
The Beast Kings and Beast Gods were still attacking. Master of Silver Dragon had made up his mind. He would crack the Wicked Bead even if he had to spend 10 or 20 years.
The silver dragons had been dominating the Paleo-beast Realm for more than a million years. Nine-clawed silver dragons had the strongest defense, attack speed, and soul.
The silver dragons occupied the best resources in the Paleo-beast Realm. As long as the silver dragons did not court disaster, no other species could challenge their position.
Therefore, when the Master of Silver Dragon made a decision, the other beasts dared not to disobey. They might curse inside, but none dared to act rashly.
Master of Silver Dragon was good at enchanting people. Three months later, Master of Silver Dragon suddenly announced that each species could send three young members to the Pond of Dragons. This was an early benefit for each species.
The Pond of Dragons was a land of treasures in the Paleo-beast Realm. The masters were overjoyed when they heard the news. They sent a message to summon their three most powerful young members to the Mountain of Dragons.
Master of Silver Dragon also promised that if the bead remained uncracked, each species could send three members to the Pond of Dragons every year.
Every species was overjoyed to hear the news. They attacked even harder.
The Beast Kings and Beast Gods of the Silver Dragons were worried. How could the Nine-clawed Silver Dragons become the overlords of the Paleo-beast Realm?
It was mostly because of the Pond of Dragons.
With this land of treasures, the Silver Dragons could train more powerful warriors and dominate the Paleo-beast Realm with the absolute number of powerful warriors.
Now, Master of Silver Dragon was asking each species to send three young members to the Pond of Dragons every year?
If the Wicked Bead remained uncracked for decades, then the number of powerful warriors of each species would increase.
By then, the Silver Dragons' position as the overlord might be shaken. The other six species might work together to eliminate the Silver Dragons!
For the past one million years, the Silver Dragons had suppressed many species. The other six species all shared some grudges with the Silver Dragons.
However, the Silver Dragons were too powerful. Even if the other species were to work together, they could not defeat the Silver Dragons. Therefore, the other species were afraid to take action.
In decades, with the help of the Pond of Dragons, the species would have more powerful warriors. The consequences would be unimaginable.
Master of Silver Dragon was taking a gamble!
If he could get the Wicked Bead, it would all be worth it. The Wicked Bead was a Relic.
Relic belonged to the Divinity. The mortal world would never have one. The Relic represented that mortals could not defeat a Relic.
But now …
So many powerful beasts, including Master of Silver Dragon himself, had made a move. Yet, the Wicked Bead remained intact. The Relic was impressive.
As long as they could get the Relic, the Silver Dragons would soar. They could conquer the nine universes, not to mention dominating the Paleo-beast Realm. They could restore the dominance of the paleo-beasts two million years ago.
Of course!
If they lost the gamble and could not get the Wicked Bead, the Silver Dragons would suffer a great loss.
That being said, the Silver Dragons had many powerful warriors. At worst, they could wipe out the other six species. The Silver Dragons would not necessarily lose. In other words, the Silver Dragons might not be wiped out.
On the other hand, as long as they could get the Wicked Bead, the Silver Dragons could rise again. Naturally, Master of Silver Dragon chose to take a gamble.
The other species knew what Master of Silver Dragon was thinking. It was just that the Pond of Dragons was too tempting.
What was more, they did not have the ability to fight against the Silver Dragons. Even if they were not allowed to enter the Pond of Dragons, they would have to obey the Master of Silver Dragon's orders.
What was more, they were attacking humans, the archenemies of paleo-beasts. If they did not attack, the Silver Dragons would have an excuse to suppress them.
As a matter of fact, the Beast Kings and Beast Gods of the other species might have been acting when they attacked weakly.
The other species might have been putting on a show to force the Master of Silver Dragon to give in in order to gain some benefits …
All in all, this was a game, a game between the species.
Nobody could tell what the final result would be. It was up to fate.
"O Divine Dragon King, please protect your people!"
