Chapter 940: Friends from Afar

“I will worry about that once it comes to it… Ascend to the Divinity and become an immortal? That is still a distant matter. Ha!”

Lu Li shook the idea off. He had not reached the Earth Immortal Realm yet, and it was not absolute that he would reach the Semi-God Realm. It was too early to think about ascending to the Divinity and becoming an immortal.

The Heaven Reverse Universe had many Earth Immortal Realm warriors, but Semi-God Realm warriors came only in a few years. The nine universes had quite a number of Semi-God Realm warriors. How many of them had become immortals over two million years?

“Then I must work harder!”

Bai Xiashuang said, resolutely. She clenched her fists, with an unbending will.

Lu Li forced a smile but did not say anything. It was good that the looming possibility of separation could urge Bai Xiashuang to concentrate on cultivation.

They went on. This Underworld Realm had many powerful Xuan Beasts. No wonder the Asmodians named the place the Underworld Realm and regarded it as a perilous place. Four hours on the way, they had already run into six Beast Kings.

Another hour later, they encountered another Beast King. The riverway was wider and this river converged with another one, forming a great river.

This riverway was two miles in length and miles deep, housing countless various creatures. Lu Li could tell that there were some meandering tunnels at the bottom of the river. Some horrifying beings might be lurking in those tunnels.

“The Beast God should be in this great river? Or maybe it is in a lake or a sea nearby?”

Lu Li thought to himself. He must be careful. After all, Beast Gods were much more powerful than Beast Kings. The former could kill Earth Immortal Realm warrior easily. If a Beast God attacked Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue, they would lose their lives instantly.

“Go into the Wicked Bead. I will let you out once I’m finished with the Beast God.”

Lu Li said. Bai Qiuxue and Jiang Qiling knew very well the strength of a Beast God, so they did as they were told. But Bai Xiashuang was a bit reluctant. Even so, she did not say much.

“Buzzing!”

Putting the three in, Lu Li was worried no more. He waved his hand and said, “Let’s go. Kill all the Xuan Beasts we meet or else when the Beast God comes, we will be in tons of trouble.”

“Yes, Grand Master!”

The five patriarchs shouted and pressed forward in a formidable array. Many Xuan Beasts came up, but all were killed by the five patriarchs with their violent skills.

“Whoosh~”

In the distance, the water in the river was surging high, as if there were some arrows passing through the river. A surge of terrifying energy spread across. The low-level Xuan Beasts around scattered.

“Four Beast Kings?”

Lu Li used psychic power to check. He was still exercising caution. It was not difficult for Patriarch Sun to kill the Beast Kings. Lu Li had no desire to fight Beast Kings.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”

Four crocodiles dashed out from the waters. Each crocodile was over one thousand feet long and was covered with a golden scale. They had wings, six paws, and a horn on their heads. Their fangs glowed in blue color. It was evident that those fangs were toxic.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

Patriarch Sun and the others were fearless. They blasted the four strange crocodiles, knocking them away. But it was a surprise to Patriarch Sun and the others to see that the four crocodiles remain unharmed and they did not even shed one scale.

“They are strong!”

Patriarch Sun exclaimed. They could kill regular Beast Kings easily. Why could they not harm these four Beast Kings? This strange matter was unbelievable.

“Let me!”

The five patriarchs were about to launch another round of attack, but Lu Li thought it was a waste of time. He flew over; his eyes glowed a silver light. An evil spirit surged out from him. He flew directly towards the four crocodiles without resorting to any methods.

“Um…”

Patriarch Sun and the others were shocked to see that the four moving crocodiles stopped in midair with fear in their eyes. They curled up, trembling.

“Is this the power of a Beast God?”

Patriarch Sun remembered something. He exclaimed. Back at the Mist Cloud Sea, Lu Li once tamed some Beast Kings and fought his way into the Central Plains. In the end, he forced the Hades Society to kill the Recluse Solar Dragon.

“Show me the way to the Beast God!”

Lu Li shouted. The four crocodile Beast Kings turned around and flew into the river at once. Lu Li stood on one of the crocodiles, waved his hand and said, “Follow me.”

There were many Beast Kings in the river. Lu Li consider it a waste of time to kill them one by one. He thought that he might just as well use the might of the Beast God to force the Beast Kings to show him the way.

Lu Li had little time. This round-trip to look for the Beast God would take him half a month. Warriors of the nine universes could come at any moment. Therefore, he longed for finding that Beast God and kill it as soon as possible.

With the Beast Kings clearing the way, the weak Xuan Beasts got scared and ran away. It had been a smooth ride for Lu Li and the group. In the time for two incense sticks to burn, they had crossed hundreds of miles.

“Roar~”

Before them, the water was tumbling, accompanied by a muffled shout. A beast that resembled a water rhino stuck half of its head out from the water. The rhino’s two dark eyes beamed with evil. Patriarch Sun and the other patriarchs got scared after looking at it once.

“Hmm!”

Lu Li snorted. How dare a Beast King threaten him? He flew over, his eyes kindling in silver light. As he released his Beast God power, he took control of the Beast King at once.

Pressing on, Lu Li took control of more Beast Kings. Half a day later, there were 11 Beast Kings following Lu Li. Finally, they arrived at an open sea.

“The Beast God should be here.”

Lu Li looked around. He was now more certain that the Beast God was here. He knew that he must be careful, so he asked the five Earth Immortal Realm patriarchs to stand around him and let the Beast Kings move around them so that the Beast Kings could shield them. In this way, if the Beast God appeared and attacked them, the Beast Kings could buy them some time.

The Beast Kings forged on in a straight line. The number of Xuan Beasts in the ocean was increasing. But with 11 Beast Kings around him, Lu Li was safe from the other Xuan Beasts.

“Something is up!”

An hour later, Lu Li frowned and murmured to himself. They had been traveling for a long time, but they had not seen even a single Beast King along their way. It was not normal.

Lu Li was still fearless even though something was definitely not right. He would not be threatened even if the Beast God was devising a plan because he had brought the Dragon Demon with him.

Moving on, he could see some small islands. One of the Beast Kings let out a bellow as if trying to tell Lu Li that they were approaching the destination.

Patriarch Sun and the others were on guard. They held their breaths as they looked around with psychic power. Their weapons glowed in their hands. They were ready to engage at any moment.

They could see more islands as they went deeper. Mist surrounded this area, which made it hard for them to see where they were going. They had to follow the Beast Kings.

“A formation of illusion?”

Lu Li grinned, but he was not worried. Once the Beast God was killed, no formation of illusion would work. The worst thing that could happen was for him to blast open a path among the islands.

“Ding…”

From the distance suddenly came a faint musical tone. It was barely audible but dreamlike. Their vision had become fuzzy. In the distance, revealed a large island.

“What…”

Patriarch Sun checked with psychic power. He was shocked and so was Lu Li after he took a look.

In the distance—on the island was a beautiful palace, in front of which stood a group of beautiful girls. In the front was a lady, dignified and graceful, and yet beautiful and enchanting. She wore a crown and was surrounded by a group of pretty girls, drawing a circle of admirers. The cluster of girls accentuated the lady’s grace.

“Ha, ha!”

The lady with a crown turned to Lu Li. Her smile came before her words. She even bowed as she said, “It is such a delight to have friends coming from afar. Humans welcome to Underworld Island.”
