Chapter 1064: No Alternative

There were Teleportation Formations inside the Inferno and Prison of Wood. Lu Li spent little time on the route there. However, as he entered the Prison of Earth, he had to rely on the Wicked Bead to hurry on.

Fortunately, the Wicked Bead was fast. It would take him four to five days at most to arrive at the entrance of the Prison of Water and the same amount of time to the Paleo-beast Realm. The round-trip would cost him a month at most.

Lu Li entered the Prison of Earth and found the path. He controlled the Wicked Bead to fly in a straight line. He entered the Transcendent State to study the Slayer’s move regardless of the fact that he had not fully recovered.

Previously, he used the Slayer’s move many times. Theoretically speaking, the odds of him learning the Slayer’s move was great. Of course, nobody could say for sure. After all, the Slayer was a super warrior from the Divinity. No matter how simple the move he created was, it would not be learned so easily.

Several days flew by quickly. Lu Li felt the time was moving particularly fast when he was in the Transcendent State. When He Yue woke him up, he thought it had been half a day.

“Five days?”

Lu Li was surprised. He used psychic power to check. He forced a smile when he sensed a huge mountain in the distance. Five days had gone by and he had learned nothing.

At the mountain, he dashed into the Prison of Water. Finding the way, Lu Li let the Wicked Bead fly forward. Then, he asked, “How is the Great Land?”

“It’s fine!”

Lu Li was relieved by He Yue’s reply. She continued, “The Semi-God Realm warriors have spread out and have controlled many warriors. They are gathering civilians now. Tens of millions are gathered in the City of Red Lunar, City of Mystic Armor and Immortals Inquires. I think hundreds of millions will gather in each of those cities in a month or two.”

“Those jerks!” Lu Li cursed at them while biting his teeth in hatred. He clenched his fist, and his face twisted in wrath.

He Yue paused for a moment, but she decided not to withhold any information. “Master, Semi-God Realm warriors at the City of Mystic Armor and Immortal’s Inquires are more violent. They have killed a number of people. Some small cities are leveled to the ground. I suppose at least over 10 million have died…”

This time, Lu Li did not swear. But his face was even more twisted, and his killing intent was stronger.

Master of Haechi and He Yue were afraid that Lu Li would kill the two of them if he could not control his anger. Ke Mang’s face was clouded as well. He was from the Heaven Reverse Universe. Naturally, he was grieved and angered by the fact that the Semi-God Realm warriors were slaughtering people there.

“Phew, phew~”

Lu Li took a deep breath. Soon, he calmed himself and entered the Transcendent State to cultivate.

He that quarreled with fate was a coward. The real powerful warriors would strive to grow and resolve problems with their abilities. This world did not operate on tears, but fists and strength.

Another four to five days passed during cultivation. When Lu Li was woken up, he looked upset. Clearly, the few days’ cultivation yielded little fruit.

Lu Li used psychic power to check and identify the landmarks. He finally found access to the Paleo-beast Realm after a long time.

“Ke Mang, open up the seal!”

The access was sealed off by Ke Mang, which was why Lu Li took him along. Ke Mang was sent out from the Wicked Bead, and the sealed access was opened.

“Let’s go!”

Lu Li and Ke Mang went in and re-emerged in the castle. Lu Li sent Master of Haechi and Master of Fairy Fox out to take care of things for he wished to meet with no paleo-beasts.

“Ke Mang, I will cultivate again. Wake me up in 10 days!”

To try to control the headless corpse was incredibly dangerous. Lu Li himself could end up as a corpse. Yan Gu and the other Semi-God Realm warriors had not started killing on a large scale yet, so Lu Li had some time. He wanted to give himself 10 more days to see if he could learn the Slayer’s move.

Lu Li entered the Wicked Bead and Ke Mang stayed with him. Master of Haechi went out to meet with some higher-ups of several species who were staying to govern the Paleo-beast Realm. All the powerful beasts had been executed, and the stronger of the species had been wiped out. There was no chaos. Everything was peaceful in the Paleo-beast Realm.

Ten days later, Ke Mang alerted Lu Li to wake him up. The latter dashed out. He was neither happy nor upset but disappointment and frustration could be found in the depth of his eyes.

“It seems like I have had no luck with the Slayer’s move!”

Lu Li sighed. He had been studying the Slayer’s move for over 20 days during this trip, but he had gotten nowhere. Either he would never learn the Slayer’s move, or his realm was too low for him to do so currently.

“Forget about it!”

Lu Li shook the Slayer’s move out of his mind. His last hope was on the headless corpse.

He turned to Ke Mang and asked, “Have you collected skills to control corpses I told you about?”

Last time, after they returned from the Paleo-beast Realm, Lu Li randomly touched upon this subject. He remembered some Paleo-beasts had such skills. Ke Mang did not disappoint him. He took out two scrolls and handed them to Lu Li. The former was worried. “Saint Lord, are you really going to take the risk?”

“I have no other choice…”

Lu Li forced a smile. He waved his hand to shut Ke Mang up and focused on studying the two skills of controlling corpse. Those were the skills that were developed by ancient species.

Neither skill was complicated. Controlling a corpse was very much like controlling puppets—for bodies were a special kind of puppets.

Lu Li chose the seemingly more advanced skill which required him to build Dead Soul Charm which would be thrown into the corpse. When 108 Dead Soul Charms were successfully within the corpse and a spiritual link was built, Lu Li would be able to control the body.

Safety considerations were the reason that Lu Li chose this method. He could discharge the Dead Soul Charms from a distance. In this way, he didn’t have to get close to the headless corpse, thus saving him from being suffocated to death due to the strong energy.

Lu Li studied it for two hours. Afterward, he shouted, “Master of Haechi, come and help me find some materials.”

To make Dead Soul Charms required some special Mystical Materials. If the Paleo-beast Realm did not have it, then it could be troublesome. Lu Li would have to go back to the Prison of Wood to ask from Patriarch of Law Enforcement or Lu Zhengyang in that case.

Fortunately, though the Mystical Materials required for the Dead Soul Charms were special, the Paleo-beast Realm was a large one. Master of Haechi went away. In four hours, he brought back everything Lu Li needed.

“I shall commence the making of Dead Soul Charms!”

Lu Li closed himself in the castle. He decided to make enough Dead Soul Charms in three days and go down to the Pond of Dragons to take control of that headless corpse.

The Dead Soul Charms were easy to make even though Lu Li was tired. He spent two days to make the charms and then rested for a day. After the third day, he set off.

“Ke Mang, time for me to go now!”

Inside the Path of Rising Dragons, Lu Li asked Ke Mang to deactivate the Inhibition Formation. Upon second thought, Lu Li told Ke Mang solemnly, “Should things go violent down there or my jade talisman is broken, you need to leave the Paleo-beast Realm right away and destroy the passageway. When you go back to the Prison of Wood, tell Patriarch of Law Enforcement and the others to stay alive in the Prison of Wood…”

“Whoosh!”

With that said, Lu Li jumped into that bottomless tunnel and disappeared from Ke Mang’s sight.
