Qi Family progenitor and the other two pursuers were all taken aback!
Feng Dynasty had 18 blessed lands, Qi Dynasty had 16, and Leng Dynasty had 20. If all of them were destroyed, then the effect could be detrimental to the Central Imperial Universe.
What were the foundations for a family to grow and stand at the nine universes? The first were the powerhouses, the second was population, and the third was Mystical Materials.
Why would the families fight over territories and seek hegemony?
All were for the sake of Mystical Materials. When most blessed lands of the Central Imperial Universe were ruined, even dominating the entire universe would be pointless as the constant supply of rare Mystical Materials would be cut off.
With no Mystical Materials, the families would not be able to nurture warriors quickly. The emergence of Human Sovereign Realm, Earth Immortal Realm, and Semi-God Realm warriors would be slowed down. When the current generation of powerful warriors passed away, there would be a gap of warriors. The families had accumulated a huge amount of Mystical Materials in their ancestral lands. That being said, how would they sustain their long-term growth after all the Mystical Materials ran out?
The only way out for them was to obtain the Wicked Bead and conquer a universe with its help. Otherwise, in a few thousand years, the major families would turn into small families. Or, they would be wiped out by other families.
But could they get the Wicked Bead?
They were not sure. They had been attacking for such a long time, but the Wicked Bead showed no response. Lu Li said that it would take them at least four or five years to crack the bead open. Would they really have to do it for five years? What if something happened during this time? What if Lu Li went back to the Zen Mountain again after this time?
The Crippled Zen Master didn’t care for Lu Li, but he seemed to enjoy a close relationship with Yin Qingsi.
If Lu Li really hid into the Zen Mountain and Yin Qingsi activated the haze formation, then they would sink into despair. What else? Were they supposed to go and attack the Zen Mountain?
Once again, the five Semi-God Realm warriors found themselves in a pickle. The lives of so many people would have been sacrificed for nothing if they gave up. But what if they could not get the Wicked Bead when they went on?
The five Semi-God Realm warriors looked at each other. This was a decision that could not be reached easily. The decision might lead the Central Imperial Universe into eternal doom.
Seeing that the five Semi-God Realm warriors were still hesitating, Lu Li felt a bit relieved. He paused for a moment and shouted again, “I’ll give you the time for half an incense stick to burn to think. Either you let me go, or I will destroy all the blessed lands of the Central Imperial Universe!”
They were having more struggles. Time flashed by. They began to communicate secretly, but no decision was made.
What they were afraid of the most was Lu Li returning to the Zen Mountain. They were not sure whether the Crippled Zen Master had passed away or not. Once Lu Li went back to the Zen Mountain, all the previous actions would be in vain.
The time for half an incense stick to burn passed by soon. Lu Li shouted, “Have you made up your mind? Do you want war or peace? Just tell me. The illusion formation down there will not be able to sustain under Wicked Bead’s attack. I can wipe out the blessed land easily.”
The Feng Family progenitor and the Qi Family progenitor looked at each other. Both felt frustrated. Feng Family pronator made up his mind and yelled back, “Li Li, go ahead and ruin it. When I break down the Wicked Bead, I will make you suffer. I will kill each and every one of your family. If I could not do that, I would commit suicide.”
In the end, the Feng Family progenitor had chosen to fight. This time, the Feng Dynasty had suffered a great loss, and too many of their family had died. If he stopped at this point, he could not face his family again. He could not face the people of the Feng Dynasty again.
He chose to stake all he had. He could conquer a universe if he could obtain the Wicked Bead. If he could conquer the Earth Imperial Universe or the Mage Imperial Universe, his loss could be remedied. All the sacrifices would be worthwhile.
“Okay. You have brought this to yourself!”
Lu Li made a determined effort. The Wicked Bead glowed as it expanded to more than one thousand feet long. It whooshed down forcefully.
In the mountain, a blessed land that could not be seen from the outside was being harbored. A strong illusion formation was set up here. Only Semi-God Realm warriors, not even Earth Immortal Realm warriors, could see it. The defense was set over the land as well. That being said, nothing could sustain the strike of the Wicked Bead.
“Bam!”
As Lu Li had expected, the Wicked Bead hit against the mountain, and a semicircle shield appeared over the mountain instantly. The illusion formation was the strongest of all, but the defense shield was not. Usually, nobody would come and destroy the blessed lands. Who dared to mess around at Feng Family’s territory?
“Whoosh~”
The Wicked Bead flew up to more than 20 miles high and then came smashing down at its top seed.
The bead was large and the speed was fast. When the bead struck randomly, it could amount to an Earth Immortal Realm warrior’s move. The Inhibition Formation shook violently and was on the verge of breaking down at any time now.
The Feng Family progenitor and Brother Three were in pain. The formation of a blessed land could be intricate, and they would only emerge every ten of thousands of years. Now, they were here, watching as Lu Li ruined the blessed lands. It was not difficult to guess how miserable they were.
“Ah, ah, ah~”
The Feng Family progenitor launched an attack directly at the Wicked Bead. He didn’t dare to aim downward because his one move could shatter the Inhibition Formation.
He punched out golden fists, and every single one of them had landed on the Wicked Bead accurately. Space around them was torn apart. Suffocating energy spread out, scaring away the beasts nearby.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
Lu Li struck over and over again. The shield was shaking more violently. After he finished another bout of attack and flew up again, the Qi Family progenitor sighed. The Inhibition Formation was about to be broken down. Lu Li’s next move could destroy the blessed land.
The Feng Family progenitor stopped attacking. He looked away, unable to bear the sight of it. The blessed land was filled with Mystical Materials. All would be wiped out by Lu Li. The blessed land was the most treasured gift from heaven, and now they were watching it being ruined…
“Whoosh~”
The Wicked Bead moved like a shooting star. It flew down from above and smashed against the shield which could not hold out and was shattered. Under the shield, revealed an idyllic land.
The Wicked Bead didn’t stop. It came bearing down. In the next second, the blessed land would become a wasteland.
“Buzzing~”
Right at that moment, the space above the blessed land trembled like a pebble had been thrown into calm waters, disturbing the surface. Following that, a skinny hand appeared.
The hand expanded and enlarged. Soon, its length grew to more than one thousand feet. It grabbed the hill-like Wicked Bead.
“How…”
The five Semi-God Realm warriors were startled as space was torn apart. They witnessed how the hand enlarge, and how the Wicked Bead was grabbed by the hand. They stared in absolute shock.
The Wicked Bead was weird. No matter how they attacked, the Wicked Bead wouldn’t budge a bit. They also tried many ways to restrain the Wicked Bead but nothing worked.
However, the hand had grabbed and stopped the Wicked Bead. It had saved the blessed land!
This was not the scariest part. More importantly—the hand was not a shadow. It was real!
Many Semi-God Realm warriors could generate hand shadows. But whose hand could grow to more than one thousand feet long? Nobody had ever heard of something like this. They looked at the skinny hand and even their souls were trembling. Was this a god’s hand?
Lu Li was frightened as well. In the hand, the Wicked Bead could not move one bit.
Lu Li had seen something like this before, a hand reaching out from space. It was at the Demon-slaying Hall. However, back then, that hand could not grow, not to mention grab a fast flying Wicked Bead.
Was it really a hand of a god?
Lu Li was wondering. He tried to ruin the blessed land. He thought he had angered a real god and now he had to face the wrath of heaven.
