The Invincible Dragon Emperor

It turned out to be Lu Li’s wishful thinking…

Over four months had passed. During that time, he used a great amount of Mystical Materials to refine his Bead of Life one more time and had successfully reached the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm.

His Soul Shattering Skill had been improved as well. The numbers of vibrations waves of his strength and soul attacks had reached the maximum, 88.

During the four months, Lu Li had poured a large quantity of Xuan Energy into the Wicked Bead. And now, at last, the Wicked Bead began to show its bright glory. Lu Li had finally established a spiritual connection with the Wicked Bead.

He was able to control the Wicked Bead now!

It was to his great disappointment and frustration, though, to find out that he could only use one function of the Wicked Bead—to put things into the Wicked Bead.

It could be said that he had wasted four months only to acquire an Interspatial Ring. The Wicked Bead had a small hall inside that could be regarded as a storage space…

The small hall inside the Wicked Bead had nothing in it, and it was not spacious, either, with a radius of merely one hundred feet. The space was actually smaller than the inside of his own Interspatial Ring.

Lu Li was unwilling to accept the fact. He used psychic power to check again and again. However, he found no more usage of the Wicked Bead other than a container for storage.

He took out some things from his Interspatial Ring and tried to put them into the Wicked Bead. He confirmed that the Wicked Bead could do nothing other than holding things.

“D*mn, d*mn, d*mn!”

The Wicked Bead could not enhance his abilities, facilitate him in fights, or demonstrate any other miraculous applications…

Lu Li wanted to roar. It cost him months to finally be able to control the Wicked Bead. He had thought that he could be empowered with great skills. Little did he know that he was only going to get another Interspatial Ring.

The Wicked Bead had more seals. Opening them up might reveal other functions of the Wicked Bead. That being said… Lu Li did not have the luxury of time. He was about to be teleported out from the Forbidden Ground of Elder God in over a month. He had thought that he could rely on the Wicked Bead to deal with the situation waiting for him outside.

But, with greater hope comes greater disappointment…

In his original plan, he decided to capture dozens of young masters and young ladies. He would take them as leverage to threaten their families into attacking the Leng Dynasty. Difficult as the plan was, there was a tiny bit of hope even though the odds of the success was not great.

However, later on, Lu Li had put all his hope on the Wicked Bead. He wasted the most critical couple of months. Needless to say, this outcome was to his dismay.

“Something is not adding up.”

Emperor Heng had stored up the Wicked Bead in the dungeon with great caution. The Wicked Bead should have more functions. Lu Li sunk into deep thoughts. He began to investigate and sense the small hall in the Wicked Bead carefully.

The small hall was similar to the one he was physically in, but the one in the Wicked Bead was empty with no table or anything else. There wasn’t even a door…

“A small hall? Can people go in there?”

Lu Li had an idea. Then with a glow from the Wicked Bead, Lu Li felt he was enveloped by strong force. He vanished on the spot and had found himself inside the small hall in the Wicked Bead.

“Well…”

Lu Li was taken aback. He checked the small hall through and through. Then, he tried to sense the outside via the spiritual connection he had with the Wicked Bead. He could tell that the Wicked Bead was like a pebble floating in midair. The glow had died down. Now, the Wicked Bead was nothing more than an average cyan-colored bead, suspending in the air.

“I am inside the Wicked Bead? People can come in here?”

Interspatial Rings could not be used to house people. The space inside was closed up with no air. People would be suffocated to death.

However, the Wicked Bead seemed to be different. Lu Li didn’t have any uncomfortable feelings inside. Instead, he felt… the air was particularly fresh.

“Let’s see how cultivation goes in here!”

Lu Li sat down with his legs crossed and started to cultivate Xuan Energy. He found himself in another shock. The Xuan Qi in the small hall inside the Wicked Bead was not less rich than that of the outside.

“Out!”

Lu Li cultivated for a short while. Then, as he thought of leaving, the Wicked Bead glowed again. He re-emerged outside the Wicked Bead amid a white glare.

“It is not entirely useless…”

Lu Li felt a bit better now. To say the very least, the Wicked Bead could be an advanced cultivation room. His four months hadn’t been a complete waste.

“Where are the seals of the Wicked Bead? Where are they? Maybe something new will pop up after I crack the first layer of seal.”

Lu Li focused his mind on the Wicked Bead and poured Xuan Energy in. Soon, he found a thin layer of shield inside the Wicked Bead. He had located the seal.

“Here we go.”

He had more than a month left so he decided to try to crack the first seal. He would be able to face the life-threatening situation when he teleported out if the Wicked Bead could prove to enhance his abilities by a large margin.

He kept on pouring Xuan Energy in, trying to dissolve the first layer of seal. The Wicked Bead glistened. Through the spiritual connection Lu Li had with the bead, he could sense that the first layer of seal was lighting up, similar to when he was working on the Wicked Bead itself.

One day later!

Lu Li gave it up. The progress of dissolving the seal was even slower than when he was taking control of the Wicked Bead. He felt it was moving 10 times slower. By calculation, he should spend many years. Given that he must leave in a month, this was the time he did not have.

He stood up and looked at the gate in the hall. Now that the Wicked Bead could not weather the storm this time, he must try to enter the main hall.

“Three days!”

Lu Li promised himself. If he could not open the gate to the main hall in three days, he would go out and capture more young masters and young ladies. He would coerce their families to attack the Leng Dynasty or at least occupy the mountain he would arrive at after teleporting out.

Lu Li walked to the gate. He used Xuan Energy, he tried to push the door open, he used the divine weapon of Dragon King to hack the gate, and he employed Soul Shattering Skill and even Rising Dragon Skill…

He resorted to every means he could think of and tried them all. Still, the gate didn’t budge. The gate’s Inhibition Formation merely glistened when Lu Li employed the Rising Dragon Skill.

Lu Li calmed himself down to study the gate. He attempted to interpret the ancient Inhibition Formation on the gate. Unfortunately, he understood next to nothing about Inhibition Formations. Three days had been wasted but it was of no avail.

“I should leave now!”

Lu Li was a man of prompt and resolute actions. He had no more illusionary hopes relying on the main hall. He walked to the Teleportation Formation and used Xuan Energy to activate it. Soon, he re-appeared in the hall he came in from at the very beginning.

“Lu Li?”

Leng Wuxin was cultivating here. At first, she was delighted. She could stay alive as long as Lu Li was. Then, frustration swept across her heart. As he came back, she would go on to be his slave, coming and going at his command…

“Let’s go!”

Lu Li waved his hand and Leng Wuxin followed him up. They stepped into another Teleportation Formation. They weren’t teleported to the wind cave but to the grassland outside the wind cave.

Jun Mengchen, the other young master, young lady, and the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior were hiding in a piece of woods outside the wind cave to cultivate. Uncle Nine of the Jun Family dashed over as soon as he saw Lu Li and Leng Wuxin.

“Where is Brother Eleven?”

Seeing only two people gave the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior a bad feeling. Lu Li provided no answer. He glanced to Jun Mengchen and the young master and young lady standing behind him.

Jun Mengchen and the other two had developed a mixed feeling toward Lu Li. In their eyes, there were fear and resentment. The later of the emotion wasn’t clearly shown. Lu Li was their master now. He could bully and abuse them as he liked. Any offensive behavior would only bring about humiliation to themselves.

Lu Li ignored their feelings and ordered, “Are there other young masters and young ladies you know here? Send them a message and let them come over!”

“What?”

Jun Mengchen and Uncle Nine felt their heart skipped a beat. Lu Li clearly was going to expand his army of soul slaves…
