The Invincible Dragon Emperor
chapter-988

“Find out now. Ask Master of Haechi. But keep it confidential!”

Lu Li waved Master of Fairy Fox away. The former exchanged eye contact with Patriarch of Law Enforcement. Both were curious, worried and exhilarated all at the same time.

This was the body of an immortal, of which there was no doubt. Wherever this immortal was from, he could be giving Lu Li a gift. Immortals possessed horrifying powers. Even an avatar of the God of Wings could defeat all the powerful warriors of the mortal world. If Lu Li had not had the blood of the Slayer, he would have been murdered already.

The Slayer!

Only one drop of his blood could elevate Lu Li’s abilities drastically in an instant. The energy was demonic. Immortals were to be feared. If Lu Li could have the headless body, he would be able to achieve sweeping victory at the nine universes.

“No, I cannot…”

Lu Li pushed down the idea soon. What he felt just now was threatening, and he was not close to the immortal’s body at all. Even at such a distance, Lu Li had almost lost the ability to walk. If he had gone to the immortal’s body, it was likely that the spirit of the body alone could have resulted in Lu Li’s death.

“Lu Li… should we go and have a look?”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement was a bit intrigued. He was curious and wanted to see for himself if the body was really as strong as Lu Li had described.

Seeing the eagerness in Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s eyes, Lu Li said, “Great-grandpa, we can take a look. But… you mustn’t do anything special. Once something goes wrong, neither of us can stay alive.”

“I understand!”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement nodded. Lu Li, Ke Mang and Patriarch of Law Enforcement moved toward the Path of Rising Dragons. Ke Mang deactivated the formation and stood on the sides. Though dying to see as well, Ke Mang was afraid that he might die because of the spirit of the headless body given his low realm.

Lu Li took the lead and flew down with Patriarch of Law Enforcement behind him. At first, both were fast. Toward the bottom of the tunnel, Lu Li slowed down, and the Dragon Armor emerged. Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s Mystic Armor came out as well. They treaded carefully while checking with psychic power.

Finally!

Both Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement sensed the presence of that headless body. They were enveloped by a surge of horrifying and chilling energy. Like two lambs faced with a giant tiger, neither of them could move. Their hair stood on its roots, and they began to tremble unconsciously.

“Let’s go!”

Lu Li did not want to linger on anymore. He stopped checking with psychic power. Patriarch of Law Enforcement came back to his senses, and they started their way back up promptly.

As soon as they came out, Patriarch of Law Enforcement shouted, pale-faced, “Activate the Inhibition Formation now!”

Ke Mang did so. Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Lu Li looked at each other. The former said with trepidation, “That is definitely an immortal’s body. It is so threatening. You are right. He is 10 times stronger than the Dragon Demon.”

“We need to go back now/”

After Ke Mang activated the Inhibition Formation, Lu Li flew toward the palace. Patriarch of Law Enforcement secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and flew back.

“Lu Li, we need to drop any ideas we have about the immortal’s body.”

As soon as they were within the palace, Patriarch of Law Enforcement said, “We must be at least tens of thousands of feet away from that headless body, but we could already feel its power. I suppose, even for warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm… or average immortals, their souls would collapse instantly, not to mention us!”

Lu Li forced a smile. He was dying to acquire this immortal’s body. That being said, it was unrealistic. He understood he would die from its powerful breath as soon as he came near it. Taking control of the immortal’s body was unlikely.

Besides, taking control… but how?

How could he take control of an immortal’s body? He knew nothing about taking control of a corpse. Say he learned it. How could one possibly cast greedy eyes on the body of an immortal?

That body’s heart was still beating…

“This warrior should be a mighty warrior at the Divinity when he was alive.”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement exclaimed while frowning, “I wonder how his body has come to the Paleo-beast Realm? Also… he was such a powerful immortal. How could someone cut his head off?”

Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement chatted for a while. The two of them had dismissed the idea of obtaining that immortal’s body.

Two puny insects trying to get the body of a dragon. This was unlikely. The two of them were smarter than this.

Master of Fairy Fox came back after two hours. She asked Master of Haechi to take her back to her species to find some records. She also consulted Master of Haechi and had obtained much information.

“I was right!”

She said, “Three hundred thousand years ago, there were no major species living in this mountain range. Back then, a smaller species was living here. But they were extinguished overnight. The Silver Dragons and two other major species living nearby came over to check but a fight had broken out immediately. Those two major species were wiped out by the Silver Dragons who later relocated here. Since then, this place had become their residence. Later on, there were increasingly more powerful ones among the Silver Dragons. It was one thousand years later that the Silver Dragons announced the presence of the Pond of Dragons which enabled their people to become more powerful…”

Master of Fairy Fox explained and added her own deduction, “Based on the information I got, it is possible that the headless body has always been there and was only discovered after three hundred thousand years. Or… that headless body appeared three hundred thousand years ago, and the Path of Rising Dragons and Pond of Dragons came into being because of that immortal’s body.”

Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement agreed on her second explanation. Still, how could the body’s heart still beat after being here for three hundred thousand years? That body was freakishly strong.

“Is that an illusion?”

Lu Li suspected. Maybe, the heartbeat was an illusion created by the headless body. Otherwise, how could a heart still be beating after three hundred thousand years?

“Forget about it!”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement waved his hand. “We need to leave that immortal’s body alone. Ke Mang has built the Inhibition Formation and no regular paleo-beasts can break in. We will have Master of Fairy Fox give an order for the Inhibition Formation to remain untouched.”

Since they could not lay their hands on it, Patriarch of Law Enforcement believed that there was no need to think about it more as long as nothing dangerous would happen.

They had been gone for a long time. Patriarch of Law Enforcement was worried about the Heaven Reverse Universe. “Lu Li, you’d better make arrangements of the Paleo-beast Realm soon so we can return to the Heaven Reverse Universe.”

“Of course!”

Lu Li shook the matter of the headless body out from his mind. He told Master of Fairy Fox to collect Mystical Materials and other treasures and get him information of all the species.

“Wait a minute!”

Lu Li remembered something. He asked, “There is a tunnel under the sea where the Blood Apes are. We came from there. Is that tunnel destroyed?”

Master of Fairy Fox knew the answer. She nodded, “Yes. The tunnel was found and destroyed upon Master of Silver Dragon’s order.”

“Alright. Off you go.”

This was bothersome. Lu Li planned to bring some paleo-beasts back with him. Now, he had to go to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos first where many Beasts of Primordial Chaos were at. It could be problematic, and the trip could be more time-consuming.

Of course, given Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s abilities, the Beasts of Primordial Chaos were not to be afraid of. The only problem they had was wasting a lot of time.

“A month!”

Lu Li did some calculation. He would leave for the Heaven Reverse Universe after spending a month here. He had been away from his families for too long.
