Buzzing!

Lu Li took out the Wicked Bead, trying to get in at once. He was taken aback when he realized that while the Wicked Bead was glowing, he could not get in. Evidently, space had been confined here.
The silver dragon had started to move about in Lu Li’s Soul Pond to devour the invading energy. The soul attack appeared to be ferocious. But the fact was that it did not pose a threat to Lu Li.
The blue flames surrounded Lu Li. He felt the temperature was too high to tolerate. Luckily, with the Relic armor, he could stand it for now. He had several days before he would be burnt alive.
The Immortal’s body was fine as well. Soul attack and the flames could not do him any harm. The Immortal’s body dashed on and continued to strike Blazing Huo.


While Lu Li and the Immortal’s body were fine, the Deaf Taoist could not stand it any longer. The Deaf Taoist had a strong defense. That being said, he had no Relic armor. He was made of flesh as well. Being burnt by such horrifying flames, he would be burnt to death not long afterward.

Swish!

Lu Li could not await their doom. The Deaf Taoist was about to lose it. While the Immortal’s body was chasing after Blazing Huo, Lu Li hacked at the walls with his Relic weapon. As long as the formations attached to the walls could be broken down, at least, the Deaf Taoist could run away or, the Wicked Bead could be used.

Boom!

The blood-red ray of sword light landed on the walls. Lu Li was shocked again. Powerful as the Slayer’s move was, it could not leave a scratch on the walls.

This underground palace has a very strong defense formation!

Lu Li understood now. Formations like this were similar to the shield over the Demon-slaying City. The formations were built years ago and had absorbed much energy. To bring down the formations any time soon would be a daunting task.

Charge—

Lu Li made a decision quickly. Since the formation could not be brought down now, then he should have Blazing Huo murdered first. If they could not leave, Lu Li would not let Blazing Huo leave, either.
As for… the fact if Deaf Taoist could survive, that would be up to his luck.



Swish!

Lu Li was target-fixated on Blazing Huo. He had black flames left and he could release more blue flames to form a shield.
Lu Li and the Immortal’s body teamed up and they never stopped their attacks. Blazing Huo’s black flames were running out and he was smashed away again and again.

But…

Blazing Huo was appalled to see that Lu Li was still fine while standing in the flames and that his soul was not affected at all. Blazing Huo was growing paler.
The formation with soul attacks was not certainly built by Blazing Huo but had come into being naturally. Blazing Huo liked the natural formation so he built the Formation of Blaze here.
How could he know Lu Li would not be affected? According to Blazing Huo’s original plan, when Lu Li’s soul was affected, he could use the blaze to burn Lu Li into ashes. By then, three pieces of Relic would all be his.

Boom, boom, boom~

Being smashed away for so many times, Blazing Huo was losing patience. He did not have many black flames yet. At best, he could endure hundreds of more rounds of strikes. Once he ran out of the black flames, he would no longer be able to form the shield of fire and that would indicate the end of him.

How could Lu Li’s soul be so strong? This is not right? Does he have a soul protecting artifact?



Blazing Huo remembered Lu Li could come back to his senses in the Nightmare of Darkness. This thought filled Blazing Huo with an ill-feeling.
Blazing Huo made up his mind. He released whatever remained of his Corpse Candle and Ghost Light. As soon as the two types of flames emerged, the underground space’s temperature rose drastically. The Deaf Taoist kept rolling on the ground in pain. His skin was being burnt and a smell of burnt flesh began to spread across.

Ghost Light, Corpse Candle, move!

Blazing Huo directed the Corpse Candle and Ghost Light toward Lu Li. If those two types of flames could not burn Lu Li, then the Flames of Blazing Huo would be at his wit’s end.

Well…

The masses of flames were floating over. Before they were close, Lu Li had already had strange feelings. The Relic armor was strong. Even so, when the invading energy reached a certain stage, the Relic armor would not be enough. The temperature of the flames sipped into the Relic armor and was burning Lu Li’s body.
However!
Lu Li’s physical body was strong and he had already used the Dragon Armor. His skin was covered by the dense dragon scale, which isolated the high temperature. Lu Li felt better at once. He was still not comfortable but he could stay alive.

Whoosh!

Lu Li moved and launched a remote strike at Blazing Huo in the distance. When the blood-red ray of sword light emerged, Blazing Huo sank into depth of hopelessness. He had used up the two types of his most powerful flames and yet, they could not burn Lu Li alive. Blazing Huo felt it was impossible for him to escape his doom.



Lu Li, stop!

When Blazing Huo came to his senses, he shouted at once,
Do not push me too far or else I will let the formation explode. The formation has accumulated energy over decades. By then, all of us will be blasted to death. If you want to stay alive, then let us talk.

Lu Li stopped, keeping a distance from the Corpse Candle and Ghost Light. With the Dragon Armor, he could protect himself. Staring at Blazing Huo coldly, he said,
What do you want to talk about?


It’s simple, really!

Blazing Huo wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth and built a wall of fire to stop the Immortal’s body before he said,
I did try to plot against your father but he is fine, right? However, four of my people have died. You have been chasing after me for a long time. I am completely disgraced. Let’s call it even. I promise I will not be your enemy. Please leave. Okay?


Call it even?

Lu Li grinned with derision.
You wish. Show me that you are sincere or just stop talking.


Wait!

Blazing Huo was worried when Lu Li was about to strike again. The former grit his teeth.
What do you want? You name it!

Lu Li thought for a bit.
Easy. You surrender to me and help me attack the Yan Family. When I make a clean sweep of the Nine universes, I will set you free. Also… I can spare the Huo Family.




Surrender?

Blazing Huo was hopping mad. Who was he? He was one of the most powerful warriors in the Nine universes, and the forefather of the Huo Family. He was No.2 among the Purgatory’s Top 10. Surrendering to a kid? It would be worse than death.

You wish!
He yelled without thinking,
You want me to be your slave? Have you lost your mind?


I have not lost my mind. The Deaf Taoist is my slave, isn’t he? I will tell you that Chen Tianxian is also my slave!

Lu Li said coldly. Then, waving the Relic weapon, he said,
Since you cannot let go of your dignity, then to death you go. I promise I will help you send all the Huo Family disciples to hell so you can unite together!

Lu Li did not care for more soul slaves now. Too many soul slaves would affect cultivation. Lu Li was not sure of the fact that he could not integrate the Map of Fundamental Principles because he had soul slaves.
Blazing Huo was powerful, particularly with fire. He might offer help when Lu Li was going to bring down the Divinity Imperial City. That was why Lu Li gave Blazing Huo a choice. Besides, Lu Li did not want the Deaf Taoist to be burnt alive. But since Blazing Huo refused, then Lu Li didn’t want to talk any more.

Swish!

A blood-red ray of sword light dashed out. At the same time, the Immortal’s body cracked the wall of fire and had started to attack again. Blazing Huo was smashed away again and again.
He had sunk in despair. He was struggling. He did not have many years to live. At most, he could enjoy another one to two hundred years. In this lifetime, he could not take the final step, which he had understood years ago.
He was not afraid of death. To die with dignity was better than dragging on a menial life.
The thing was, what would the Huo Family do after he died? Apart from himself, the Huo Family was almost without any more powerful warriors. During the years, he had offended many people in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. When he passed away, before Lu Li finished the Huo Family, the family might have already suffered ultimate doom.

Stop, please…

When all the black flames were about to be used up, Blazing Huo lowered his proud head. He feebly said,
Lu Li, I surrender. I… surrender!
