Chapter 1236: Futile
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Li was not far away from the entrance to the Tomb of King Luna, only dozens of miles away. Though compared to God of Wings, Lu Li was much slower. Yet, it was impossible for God of Wings to cross dozens of miles in an instant to catch Lu Li.
“Roar, roar~”
More and more people were dashing into the abyss under the Mountain Guardian from all sides. Lu Li’s action was noticed by some but nobody paid extra attention.
People wouldn’t care as long as one could enter the Tomb of King Luna. Even inside, one might not even be able to fight for treasures against the disciples of the eight sects or to come back alive.
Over the course of history, eight or nine out of ten would probably die inside those kinds of historical sites. Lu Li, given his power, wanted to fight for treasures as well? To many more powerful warriors, Lu Li was practically committing suicide.
God of Wings and the five going after Lu Li did catch attention. That being said, it was just an immortal on the list with five prefecture warriors. Others did not mind, actually. They could kill God of Wings if she were up to no good.
“Lu Li, over ninety percent would lose their lives in the Tomb of King Luna, considering what had happened in history. You will not survive in there.”
Seeing that Lu Li was about to reach the abyss, God of Wings was losing patience. She sent her messages to Lu Li, “Do not go on this suicidal adventure. I can take an almighty oath that I will not kill you. I don’t want the Slayer’s move or... the Wicked Bead. You just have to give me a copy of the books in the Wicked Bead. Okay?”
God of Wings was only thirty miles away from Lu Li. As a matter of fact, she could strike Lu Li now. However, she didn’t want to upset the many powerful warriors by taking rash actions. She might be killed as well. She had to settle for the second best and negotiate with Lu Li.
She could not go into the Tomb of King Luna. If Lu Li were to die in there, then the Wicked Bead would have to be left behind in the tomb forever. All her previous efforts and the plan she developed over such a long time would be in vain.
“Ha, ha!”
Lu Li looked back at God of Wings and grinned scornfully. He did not reply. He bit his teeth as he forged ahead against the violent evil spirit. He sped up again and dashed forward like a beast.
One mile and a half, one mile, one third of a mile!
That huge Mountain Guardian was up in the air, roaring, wiggling, struggling. Cold glare bounced off from the human-sized black scales. From that towering body came out grand and powerful energy that made people shake in fear. The Mountain Guardian’s green eyes seemed like to be able to suck the souls out of people.
“Come on!”
Lu Li roared and began to use the Burning Blood skill to strengthen his body. Divine energy was being mobilized in his body. He lifted his heavy legs and jumped into the abyss.
“No...”
Looking as Lu Li fell into the abyss, God of Wings lost the glow in her eyes. She almost spent all the savings she accumulated and she gave her Divine Sources and treasures as presents to others just to get the Wicked Bead only to end up with nothing.
Her eyes were filled with anger and hatred. She almost failed to control herself and jumped into the abyss. However, the last grasp of reason stopped her. Tomb of King Luna was famous at southern Divinity. The ones that were older than one hundred years old could never go in. Anyone that tried to force their way in could be killed by the Inhibition Formation directly.
“No!”
God of Wings believed that Lu Li would lose his life for sure in the Tomb of King Luna. She would lose the Wicked Bead forever. She was filled with regret. She should have asked Li Qiang and the others to kill Lu Li in the Valley of Vicissitudes immediately. That would have secured the Wicked Bead.
“Never mind. I am not destined to have this Relic. I do not have the luck...”
God of Wings stood there for a moment, completely at a loss. She waved her hand to the five and flew away with them. The other warriors here were all from the eight sects while she was from the Office of Creation. The two parties could enter into conflict if she were to stay for too long and she could lose her life.
...
“What~”
As he jumped into the abyss, Lu Li felt that he was sucked into a swirl. The sky and earth were spinning around. His mind had become confused and his head was heavy. He just knew that his body was spinning, but not long how this would last.
“Bang!”
Lu Li had lost a sense of time. It might be the time for several incense sticks to burn, or a day but he finally felt he landed on the ground. His body tumbled over on the ground uncontrollably. He crawled up and began to keck.
He shook his head. Some sense came back into him. He used psychic power to check the surroundings at once.
“Well”
A moment of checking later, he was surprised. He was inside an ancient and vast hall. He used the term ‘vast’ to describe the hall because he could not see any boundaries of the hall on three sides. He had no idea how big the hall was.
There were many people in the hall. One rough look and Lu Li believed there must be three to four thousand here. At least five hundred were from the eight sects.
The ones from the eight sects were in a group, naturally. They were discussing in a low voice and none paid any attention to the immortals who came in alone. The former would throw over a look every now and then but their glances were ridden with arrogance, contempt and even pity.
Lu Li got up and went to a corner to sit down. Someone was just like him, sitting in silence. Nobody talked, not to mention displeasing the ones from the eight sects.
Fortunately, the ones from the eight sects did not intend to kill others. Maybe, as far as the disciples of eight sects were concerned, the insignificant warriors were only on a suicidal mission to come in here.
Su Zixi once mentioned to Lu Li about the 72 sects. He mentioned that apart from the four legendary forces, the strongest were the 72 sects. Lu Li heard that the chiefs of the 72 sects were either super-mighty warriors or supreme warriors in the Divinity.
Since nobody else moved, Lu Li was afraid to move as well. He sat in the corner, listened and gathered useful information.
The ones from the eight sects were gathered together, whispering to each other. Lu Li had to listen for a while to notice something of value.
They were not completely inside the Tomb of King Luna. They had to wait for a while before the real gate was open. Later, there would be 10 gates appearing in the hall. They could choose any gate. As for how risky it was behind each gate, that would be dependent on each person’s luck.
Tomb of King Luna hid countless treasures. It was said that King Luna once was the third most powerful one on the list and he was a chief of a super force. However, the force he was in was destroyed overnight and King Luna disappeared as well.
Ten thousand years later, King Luna came out again. He wiped out a super sect all by himself. But he himself was heavily mauled and was dying as well. He hid all the treasures he acquired from his own sect and the sect he wiped out in the tomb so that the destined ones could come and find them.
The amount of treasures hidden in the Tomb of King Luna was shocking. Equally shocking was the danger inside. The Tomb of King Luna opened every one thousand years. Every time, many people would go in. In the end, less than ten percent could come out alive. The ones that could come out alive were benefited, of varying degrees. It was said that someone had obtained super-grade Relic, skill or materials...
Lu Li also learned that if one did not want to explore the Tomb of King Luna, one could stay in the hall which was perfectly safe. However, one must stay for one thousand years and be teleported out automatically when the Tomb of King Luna was open next time.
“One thousand years...”
Lu Li gave up on this option at once. Staying here for a thousand years would bore him to death and cause him to go insane.
“Let’s see what will happen.”
Lu Li pressed his lips, making up his mind. He didn’t intend to gain any treasures in here, just that he could leave the Tomb of King Luna safely.
The chances of survival could be greatly elevated if one did not become greedy in such dangerous sites...
