Chapter 1033: 10 Days

Lu Li and Zi Lian teleported over. A Teleportation Formation was built here. Lu Li asked a patriarch of the Shadowland Race to do it.
The teleportation brought them to an entrance into the Demon-slaying Battleground. Another round of teleportation brought them to the Demon-slaying Hall.
“Buzzing~”
Lu Li felt some psychic powers. Upon confirming that it was Lu Li, Patriarch of Law Enforcement came. Master of Fairy Fox and Master of Haechi were all here, along with some patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall.
The invasion was too grave a matter for Patriarch of Law Enforcement to keep back the truth. The patriarchs’ minds were heavy with negative thoughts. Without Lu Li, they had lost their backbone. Some patriarchs even wanted to flee to the Deserted World and Inferno if the passageways had not been destroyed.
Now, Lu Li had come, finally. This was a weight lifted. Lu Li was less than 30 years old but he had successfully killed the Asmodian Lord. Patriarch of Law Enforcement also told others how Lu Li defeated God of Barbarian and God of Sorcerer, then struck a deal with them. Everyone found Lu Li increasingly fathomable—despite the fact that he was only at the Earth Immortal Realm.
This was a young man that could do wonders. Just like Emperor of Heaven Reverse in the old days when he single-handedly made vigorous efforts to turn the situation, defeated the alien races and laid the foundation for the human race to enjoy for ten thousand years of glory.
What was more, Emperor of Heaven Reverse once claimed that when Lu Li could ascend to the Divinity, he would accept Lu Li as his protégé. It was an indication that Lu Li could become an immortal.
Lu Li nodded to Patriarch of Law Enforcement as a greeting but did not talk to the other patriarchs. He flew to the hall where He Yue was at, and the others followed.
He Yue opened her eyes and bowed to Lu Li who asked, “How is it now?”
Somehow, He Yue found herself calmer in Lu Li’s presence. She explained, “The space is shaking violently at the Asmodian City. I suppose they will enter the Demon-slaying Battleground by afternoon.”
“This afternoon?”
Lu Li’s face was clouded. He was one skill short from mastering the second level of the Stone Golem. He could not make Stone Golems that were comparable to the Semi-God Realm warriors yet. Based on his past experience, the conservative projection of learning the skill was 10 days. However, the Semi-God Realm warriors would spend two days at most to fly here.
“I wished they were here 10 days later.”
Lu Li was troubled. But it did not give him time to think. He asked Patriarch of Law Enforcement, “Have you been able to get in touch with Emperor of Heaven Reverse?”
“No!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement shook his head and threw Lu Li a glance who took the hint. They went into a room and activated the Inhibition Formation. Those patriarchs outside did not read too much of their action. Some secrets of the Demon-slaying Hall could only be known by the Grand Master, such as ways to contact Emperor of Heaven Reverse.
In the room, Patriarch of Law Enforcement handed Lu Li a golden jade talisman and said, “This is a token left behind by Emperor of Heaven Reverse. Only the current Grand Master can contact Emperor of Heaven Reverse with this token. So, you need to do this.”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement also gave Lu Li an old scroll, on which wrote ways to contact Emperor of Heaven Reverse. Lu Li put it away after a few glances. He had already known this. The mechanism was the same as contacting God of Barbarian and God of Sorcerer.
Should he contact Emperor of Heaven Reverse now?
Lu Li wondered as he paced up and down in the room. Then, he asked, “Great Grandpa, how much energy is restored in the city shield? How much time do we have, after the one hundred Semi-God Realm warriors started to attack?”
Lu Li needed time, at least 10 days so he could master the second level of the Stone Golems. He did not want to contact Emperor of Heaven Reverse now for fear that the latter might think less of him. He should make the contact when he was about to lose.
Furthermore...
Emperor of Heaven Reverse was a mighty warrior in the Divinity. Even so, he could only send an avatar. Maybe he could kill some Semi-God Realm warriors but what if the others ran away? Could the avatar hunt them down all over the world?
That was not realistic. Lu Li had fought against God of Sorcerer and God of Barbarian. Their avatar’s striking distance was not long. Emperor of Heaven Reverse might be stronger but the best he could do was probably reach an area with a radius of thirty miles.
Therefore, he hoped the Demon-slaying City could withstand the strikes for 10 days or half a month!
“Not long!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was disappointed. He sighed. “How come the defense of the Demon-slaying City is so strong? At the end of the day, it is because of the divine energy Emperor of Heaven Reverse poured into the shield. Last time when the Asmodian Lord allocated an army of millions to strike the city, the divine energy has almost exhausted. Over the years, the shield has absorbed some Xuan Qi in nature and the energy is being added. However, there are over one hundred Semi-God Realm warriors and 10 of them are at the peak. It’s like an army of 10 million is attacking at the same time. I think, at the very best, the city can last for a couple of days. Maybe... if the attack is particularly strong at a moment, one move can blast away the shield.”
“I see!”
Lu Li touched his nose. He realized that there was one way to go, to rely on the Wicked Bead for some time.
He would cultivate in the Wicked Bead. As long as the Wicked Bead was intact, he would be safe. Also, when the Wicked Bead came out, those Semi-God Realm warriors would go nowhere and they would only follow the Wicked Bead.
He took out the Wicked Bead. Over the past year, much energy had been added to the Wicked Bead and the energy level had restored to over sixty percent.
Back at the Mage Imperial Universe, dozens of Semi-God Realm warriors followed the Wicked Bead around to attack at it but failed to break it. Now, there was only an increased number of Semi-God Realm warriors. Lu Li did not believe that they could break the bead.
Of course, one hundred Semi-God Realm warriors’ actions would be fierce. Lu Li did some calculation. As long as the Wicked Bead could not be broken in an instant, with its current level of energy, the Wicked Bead could sustain for more than half a year.
“There is no other options. This is the only way!”
Lu Li made up his mind. He and Patriarch of Law Enforcement walked out. Looking at the dozens of Earth Immortal Realm warriors here, Lu Li said, “Patriarch of Law Enforcement and I will go and face the enemies. You stay here and protect the Demon-slaying City. In the event of defeat, I will notify you so you can run. When that happens, go off to small worlds on your own and live to the end of this miserable life.”
“Grand Master—”
Lu Li’s tragic words moved the patriarchs. They would have a chance to finish their lives but Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement would die in battle. A young man was out there fighting, while the old guys were holing up in the city, afraid to fight. How could they bear this?
“Grand Master, let me go with you!”
“Grand Master, me too. I have lived for seven to eight hundred years and I am tired of living. If they want to break down the Demon-slaying City, they must kill me first.”
“Ha, ha, you are seven hundred years old but I am over one thousand years old. I followed the late Grand Master Xing and fought up and down the land. Now, Grand Master Xing had passed. I don’t want to prolong this life. Let me go and find the late Grand Master Xing.”
The patriarchs in the hall ranted and raved. Those old warriors were not willing to go to small worlds to drag out their feeble existence. They had been patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall for god knows how many years. The Demon-slaying Hall was their home now.
“Stop it!”
Even though many of them were old enough to be Lu Li’s great grandpa, he scolded them with a straight face nonetheless. “The warriors of the nine universes have come for me. When I die, they will leave. By then, you will need to be here to clean up the disintegrated lands. This is an order. If you disobey, I will evict you from the Demon-slaying Hall! Besides... Iike a cat, I have nine lives. When I created a scene at the Earth Imperial Universe, I have already met those bastards. They could not kill me then. What makes you think they can succeed now?”
Lu Li was forcefully articulate.
Looking at the rigid face of this white-haired young man, the patriarchs quieted down. Then, all of them dropped to one knee. They said nothing and prayed in their hearts.
