Chapter 1163: One Year and Eight Months
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Li took leave after he stayed at Blood Emperor’s place for half a day. He had many things to accomplish. He was still a bit worried because he knew little of the nine universes.
Blood Emperor did not try to talk to Lu Li into staying. The former just mentioned that Lu Li was welcomed to come when he was free. Lu Li remembered Blood Emperor’s kindness. Since he was greatly indebted to the Blood Emperor, Lu Li was willing to help this friend.
Astro Emperor said something shocking to Lu Li before he left. Astro Emperor said that—if he was right, Lu Li would ascend to the Divinity in one year and eight months. Astro Emperor told Lu Li to work hard and try to conquer a piece of land in the Divinity so that in the future when future generations ascended to the Divinity, they could be benefited.
Previously, Lu Li did not care much for such arts of fortune-telling. But this time, he was stunned by Astro Emperor.
His belief in fate and destiny had been changed a bit as well. Was Astro Emperor right? Since warriors wanted to change their course of life so heaven and earth could sense everyone’s fate. There would be powerful warriors to tell fortune relying on the force in heaven and earth.
If he could really ascend to the Divinity in one year and eight months, then Lu Li would really be convinced by Astro Emperor. Anyone that could tell the accurate date of ascending to the Divinity would be no different than a god, maybe more than a god...
Leaving Blood Emperor’s residence, Lu Li decided that it was time to go to the Prison of Thunder to see if Little White could endure the power of thunderbolts there.
Blood Emperor’s residence was not far away from the entrance to the Prison of Thunder. At full speed, it would take the Wicked Bead a day at most. Yet, since the Deaf Taoist was still recovering, Lu Li had to slow down. After all, safety was the priority.
After two days of thrilling but not a risky trip, Lu Li finally arrived at the entrance to the Prison of Thunder.
Lu Li did not dash up the mountain rashly. He went to the outer hall of the Wicked Bead and asked the Deaf Taoist who was still sitting there to tend to his wounds, “I am now at the entrance to the Prison of Thunder. Anything to look out for?”
The Deaf Taoist’s skin was still black from the burns, but his wounds had recovered much. He opened his eyes, looked at Lu Li with confusion and asked, “Lord, what are you trying to do in the Prison of Thunder? It is dangerous there. Even Relic armor cannot guarantee complete safety.”
“Don’t worry. I will just stay at the outer edge and will not take risks.” Lu Li shrugged.
The Deaf Taoist rested his mind. He thought about it and said, “I will carry you up there. The gravitational force on the towering mountain to the Prison of Thunder is strong. I don’t think you can take that yet.”
“Sure!”
Lu Li nodded and asked, “Do you need to rest for a couple of more days?”
“It’s okay!”
The Deaf Taoist said, “It’s just some skin trauma. My physical body can recover soon. Creatures from the Region of Doom may not be strong in other regards, but we have powerful bodies.”
Lu Li would not worry now that the Deaf Taoist had said so. He brought the Deaf Taoist out of the Wicked Bead. The Deaf Taoist grabbed Lu Li in one hand and dashed toward the towering mountain.
As soon as they set foot on the path, Lu Li felt he was being pressed down by a mountain. Strong as he was, he realized he could hardly stand it.
“Burning Blood!”
Lu Li turned to the Burning Blood Skill to strengthen his body. The Deaf Taoist threw him a look and dashed on without saying anything.
Admittedly, the Deaf Taoist was incredibly strong. He only began to lower his back halfway up the mountain due to the gravitational force.
When the Deaf Taoist changed his form to an orc, his speed accelerated. He carried Lu Li to the top of the mountain in haste. As they were approaching the peak, Lu Li was practically immobilized. The gravitational force here was horrifying. Maybe, only warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm could come up to the Prison of Thunder.
After the time for two incense sticks to burn, the Deaf Taoist finally took the final step. Many of his wounds had cracked. He was grimacing in pain. He was a dauntless, unyielding man and he said no word in complaint.
“Buzzing!”
Lu Li had already activated the Relic armor and he could enter the Wicked Bead at any time. After a flash of light, Lu Li found himself on the top of a mountain.
What he could see was a desert with the color of black. There were no plants of any kind or the presence of any living being. There wasn’t even Xuan Qi in heaven and earth. This was a land of death.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
Before Lu Li had the chance to look around, he had already heard a loud clap of thunder. He raised his head and saw something he would never forget.
On the horizon, there was lightning everywhere. It was not raining and there was no dark cloud. However, lightning was striking. The lightning intertwined together as if there were dragons of electricity dashing about.
The lightning had different colors, such as purple, white, black, silver, gold...
Lighting of all colors was intertwined with each other in the sky. In the distance, the sky had turned into an ocean of lightning. Lu Li did not know how far away that place was exactly, but the violent and horrifying energy could spread over. Lu Li’s hair was standing on its root and his blood ran cold.
“Can people actually go past that ocean of lightning?”
Lu Li asked himself. Given his current ability, he would not even dare to go near that ocean of lightning, let alone going through it.
“Swish~”
All of a sudden, there came a bolt of lightning in silver color. Lu Li had not realized what was going on before the Deaf Taoist dragged him to the side.
“Bang!”
The bolt of lightning struck the nearby area and was swallowed by the mountain. Lu Li frowned and asked, “This lightning does not seem to be that strong.”She seemed to be here waiting for him and she was not surprised to see him at all. He threw a glance at her and asked, “Zi Lian, what are you doing here?”
“This is the weakest kind!”
The Deaf Taoist explained, “There are five kinds of lightning in the Prison of Thunder. The silver ones are the weakest and then there are white, purple, golden, and black! Black thunderbolts are the most horrifying. Even I would be killed as soon as I was struck by the black thunderbolts. But... the entrance to the towering mountain at the Prison of Thunder is enveloped by black thunderbolts!”
“Well...”
Lu Li did not know that thunderbolts had different strengths. His eyes glowed after a moment. The Wicked Bead lit up as Little White appeared on Lu Li’s hand. Pointing to the ocean of lightning in the distance, Lu Li said, “Little White, there are five kinds of thunderbolts with the black one the strongest and followed by golden, purple, white and silver ones. Try and see if you can stand the silver thunderbolts. If you can, you can stay here and cultivate.”
“How?!”
The Deaf Taoist blinked and looked at Little White with confusion. This little guy did not seem strong. Would it stand the thunderbolts in the Prison of Thunder?
“Squeak, squeak~”
As soon as Little White took a look at the ocean of lightning in the distance, its eyes began to shine brightly. If it were not for the fact that Lu Li had certain instructions, Little White would have already gone for the ocean of lightning.
“Swish~”
Right at that moment, two bolts of thunderbolts struck down with one being white and one silver.
Lu Li held his breath and said, “Little White, try and feel it. Can you stand it? Do not force yourself!”
“Squeak, squeak!”
Little White rose its head in pride and squeaked. Then, Little White dashed toward the silver thunderbolts. Lu Li did not even remember to move aside. He stared at Little White. If Little White could not stand it, it was possible that Little White might be struck to death immediately.
“Boom!”
Little White was struck by the thunderbolts and fell down. Its white fur was burnt and black smoke billowed. Little White rolled on the ground and there was even a smell of burnt flesh...
“Phew, phew~”
Lu Li took a deep breath. Little White might seem miserable but as a matter of fact, the situation was not bad. Little White’s pearl-like eyes were filled with excitement and thrill. Evidently, the thunderbolts here were of great help to Little White.
