Chapter 1158: Formation of Blaze

The trip was threatening but not dangerous. Three days later, they arrived at the location marked on the map. This was a famous place in the Prison of Soul. There was a series of mountains known as the Nine Li Mountain.

People sometimes would use the name seven-step snakes to refer to some venomous snakes, which indicated that once warriors were poisoned by those snakes, they would die within seven steps. In similar logic, this range of mountains was called Nine Li Mountain. Any warrior that would dare to barge in here would die within nine li, which was over two and a half miles.

The most horrible factor of this location was the many naturally formed formations which could launch soul strikes. There were some Beasts of Primordial Chaos hiding in the mountain as well. It was true that the average warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm would find it hard to leave once stepped in.

“Blazing Huo is clever enough to have chosen this place to hide!”

Lu Li nodded after the Deaf Taoist told the story. Lu Li did not know how Blazing Huo could control the Beasts of Primordial Chaos. That being said, when warriors heard the existence of Beasts of Primordial Chaos, they would not come for no reason. Even the Deaf Taoist were afraid of certain powerful Beasts of Primordial Chaos. It was not surprising that average warriors would not break in here.

Gazing at the mountain in the distance, Lu Li asked, “What should we do?”

“Let me do the work. Lord, you can just help me.”

The Deaf Taoist was harboring some anger. He said while gritting his teeth, “We will adopt a top-down approach and force Blazing Huo out. As long as we don’t go down, the formations cannot affect us. If we happen to alert any powerful Beasts of Primordial Chaos, lord, please pull me into the Wicked Bead at once.”

“Sure!”

Lu Li added after some thought, “Wait. I will build one hundred Stone Golems first. The Stone Golems were not afraid of any soul attacks so let them be the advance party.”

Lu Li sat down with his legs crossed and began to build Stone Golems. Lu Li had the third level of the Method of Stone Golems to study. When he learned the third level, he could build Stone Golems comparable to immortals. However, such Stone Golems should be powered with divine energy. Since Lu Li had not become an immortal yet, he couldn’t do anything even if he learned the third level.

Lu Li could build Stone Golems quite quickly. In an hour, one hundred Stone Golems had come into being.

“Let’s go!”

Lu Li put the Stone Golems into the Wicked Bead along with the Deaf Taoist and then flew to the area above the mountain range.

“Indeed, there are any Inhibition Formations here!”

Lu Li used psychic power to check the mountain range. He noticed some unclear spots in some places and he could tell there were small ripples indicating the presence of Inhibition Formations.

“Buzzing, buzzing~”

The Wicked Bead glowed as the Stone Golems were sent out one by one. They dashed toward the west and so did the Deaf Taoist. His robe was torn apart as he grew taller. He held the stone column in his hand and swung it downward forcefully.

“Swish, swish!”

A wide ray of light whooshed out from the stone column and landed on the mountain, causing the Inhibition Formations to fluctuate violently.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The Stone Golems charged down and bombarded the place, alerting many Beasts of Primordial Chaos. Since Stone Golems were not afraid of soul attacks which could be found in most of the Inhibition Formations and Beasts of Primordial Chaos, the Stone Golems could dash about madly and launch attacks at will. Soon, the warriors inside the mountain range were forced out.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”

Several warriors flew up and the leader was Blazing Huo. He looked at the Deaf Taoist and Lu Li in shock, wondering how Lu Li could find him so quickly.

“Lu Li!”

Blazing Huo yelled in rage, “Do not push me too far. No one will benefit if you go too far.”

“Have you done talking?”

Lu Li did not bother to waste time with Blazing Huo. The former set out the immortal’s body and the Deaf Taoist had already started to attack. He wielded the huge stone column and targeted at Blazing Huo.

“You guys go first!”

Blazing Huo used the stove to entrap the Immortal’s body and then used Ghost Light and Corpse Candle to attack at the Deaf Taoist.

“Whoosh!”

The three warriors came out with Blazing Huo and did not hesitate. They ran toward different sides at once, knowing that they would only be doomed if they stayed on.

Many Stone Golems flew over, trying to stop the three warriors. However, compared with the three, the Stone Golems were too weak. They could not defeat the three old warriors.

“Buzzing!”

Lu Li came out from the Wicked Bead. He did not mind that the old warriors were running away. His only target was Blazing Huo. Lu Li swung his Relic weapon downward.

“Boom!”

Blazing Huo was smashed away. But as he fell down this time, he did not fly up or run toward the distance. Instead, he began to go underground.

“Let’s go!”

Lu Li waved his hand and used the Relic weapon to cut at the shield that trapped the Immortal’s body. The shield was broken and the Immortal’s body flew out and left with Lu Li.

“Whoosh~”

The Deaf Taoist followed Lu Li as well. Both had noticed that there was a huge tunnel underneath the mountain. At the moment, Blazing Huo was running into the tunnel. There must be a Teleportation Formation or an access connected to a small world down there. Blazing Huo must be trying to escape via this route.

Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist could not let Blazing Huo escape just like this, not when they had been chasing after Blazing Huo for such a long time. Both sped up and the Immortal’s body was even faster. The Immortal’s body went after Blazing Huo and punched at the latter before he could enter the tunnel.

“Bang!”

This strike did not bring any harm to Blazing Huo. Instead, leveraging the force, Blazing Huo’s speed actually accelerated.

This tunnel was deep, so deep that not even psychic power could reach the bottom. It was a deeper tunnel than the one leading to the underground palace where the Immortal’s body had been hiding in.

Lu Li had the Relic armor on so he was not afraid of soul attacks. He would dash on without any worries. Since the Deaf Taoist was Lu Li’s spiritual beast, he would not say another word, not to mention the Immortal’s body.

They descended quickly. In a few blinks, they had crossed over two hundred miles. Yet the bottom was nowhere to be seen. Lu Li was having second thoughts but he decided not to stop.

“Well…”

After another twenty miles, Lu Li noticed a huge underground palace with psychic power. There was a huge portal. As he had expected, Blazing Huo wanted to escape into a small world from here.

“Boom!”

Blazing Huo was blasted away by the Immortal’s body. Lu Li ordered the Deaf Taoist, “Speed up and destroy the portal. Do not let Blazing Huo escape!”

“Roar, roar~”

The Deaf Taoist cried into the air as he grew larger and sped up. He charged into the underground palace and smashed at the portal with the stone column.

“Ha, ha, ha, ha!”

Blazing Huo was not panicking at all. Rather, he was laughing. He didn’t move toward the portal. With a crazed and hideous grin, Blazing Huo said, “Lu Li, Deaf Taoist, you have to try the hard way. Now, there will be no return for you. Formation of Blaze, up—”

“Buzzing!”

As Blazing Huo yelled, the entire underground palace began to light up. There were ripples spreading across the walls. A half-transparent shield appeared and enveloped the entire underground palace.

“No! This soul attack is ferocious!”

The Deaf Taoist shouted. Lu Li detected something wrong at once. Surges of strange energy were swarming toward his soul, more and more violently. Gradually, the ripples became tides that were trying to smash his Soul Pond into pieces.

“Swish, swish~”

In addition to the soul attacks, flames burst out on the walls. The flames were blue in color and had a high temperature. In a moment, the entire underground palace was filled with flames.

“Ah~”

With the Relic armor, all Lu Li felt was the high temperature. However, the Deaf Taoist could not stand it anymore. His body was being burned and he fell to the ground in pain. Many places of his skin were charred. This kind of flames was not weaker than the Corpse Candle.

“Ha, ha, ha!”

Blazing Huo was not harmed at all. He delightfully laughed and said, “This is my base camp and I spent three decades to build the Formation of Blaze. You have the guts to come in but do not think you can leave.”
