Chen Tianxian, the Deaf Taoist and Blazing Huo all left to spread Lu Li’s words. This time, Lu Feng enjoyed a favorable position for the use of his skills. He was more than thrilled when he heard he could send words on behalf of Lu Li.
In 10 days, the news reached all the major families in the nine universes and Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. The nine universes were shocked and so was the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos.
The news said that Lu Li wanted to invade the Divine Imperial Universe and that he had gone into the Divine Imperial Universe already. He announced that he called for others to help and once the Divine Imperial City was breached, all of those who participated would be rewarded, and those that invaded the Heaven Reverse Universe could be forgiven.
Many families did not care about rewards. The fact that they could be forgiven was a grand reward in itself. More families were scared to death when they learned that Blazing Huo was now serving Lu Li.
Blazing Huo ranked No.2 among the Purgatory’s Top 10 and the Deaf Taoist ranked No.4. At the moment, both were working for Lu Li. In addition, Lu Li ended Yan Zhen years ago. Lu Li was already recognized as the strongest warrior in the nine universes.
Lu Li was heartless and cruel, and he was vengeful. How many Semi-God Realm warriors that invaded the Heaven Reverse Universe managed to come back?
Previously, many families were in a constant state of anxiety and were at a loss of what to do. Some families even decided they had to come to the stage where they were ready to escape into their ancestral lands, giving up their territories to survive the disaster.
Now that Lu Li’s message was out, many families had overnight meetings. Eventually, the majority answered to Lu Li’s call.
The Li Family was the first to respond. Following that was the Ren Family and several families from five smaller families. In the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos, Feng Aoxue and his wife had gone to the Prison of Ice. Though the Astro Emperor and the Blood Emperor did not take action, they did send some words to some Semi-God Realm warriors, asking them to give Lu Li a hand.
All the Semi-God Realm warriors from the Hippocrene Universe were gathered around. Blazing Huo called them together in person, not to mention Lu Li called upon them as well. Many powerful warriors swarmed over. This was a grand event. Some thought they could join in the fun, if not helping.
Jun Hongye was annoyed!
Lu Li stated that all the other families could come apart from the Jun Family! In other words, Lu Li was still holding a grudge, and he would deal with the Jun Family afterward.
Of course...
While many powerful warriors came, they were still filled with anxiety. The Divine Imperial Universe was too strong. If they could not breach the city, then they would have offended the Yan Family.
Afterward, the Yan Family could even up the blood debt with the participants. Say that the Divine Imperial City could be breached. What if Yan Tiangang came back from the Divine Imperial City? Then all those that contributed this time would be punished with death!
That being said, many believed that if they did not come, they would have to face Lu Li’s anger. If the Divine Imperial City could not be breached, then the Yan Family would not be greatly offended. Those who participated could claim that they were forced by Lu Li. It was not likely that the Yan Family could make an enemy of the nine universes all by himself.
On the other hand, if the Divine Imperial City was breached, then the Yan Family would be ended. Given Lu Li’s resolution, he would destroy the Yan Family’s ancestral land as well as wipe out the Yan Family completely.
As for... Yan Tiangang, he was not feared by some of the families. It had been hundreds of years since Yan Tiangang had gone to the Divinity and never once had he come back. It must be difficult for him to come back in the future as well.
Many families knew how to choose between the short, sharp pains and long, dull pains and between the absolute disaster and a potential one.
Besides... the Divine Imperial Universe was a prosperous place. Even the affiliated families were rich. The families that would join in to sweep across the Divine Imperial Universe would stand to gain.
In half a month only, there had come forty to fifty Semi-God Realm warriors. Lu Li did not take action. He told Blazing Huo to assume command and to take complete control of the Divine Imperial City first.
As groups of powerful warriors came, the Divine Imperial Universe encountered a calamity. The Yan Family, known as the most powerful family in the nine universes, had been acting in a bossy way and had offended many families. Since those families had the chance to wreak havoc to the Yan Family, nobody would be merciful.
Lu Li did not care what the families did. He only gave two orders. The first was that civilians must be spared, and the second was that no females should be raped. Other than that, he did not care what else the warriors would do.
Though Lu Li told Yan Zhen that he would slaughter all the people of the Divine Imperial Universe, Lu Li would not have civilians killed, even at the present day. Civilians had nothing to do with any kind of war. Civilians were innocent and nobody had the right to take away their lives.
Some Semi-God Realm warriors came and some left. Lu Li, Lu Renhuang, Blazing Huo and the Deaf Taoist had been waiting in case someone would destroy the spatial passageway amongst the turmoil. Though the passageway could be opened up again, that would mean wasting a few months.
Lu Li wanted to have some Semi-God Realm warriors take control of the Divine Imperial Universe first and then gather everyone at the Divine Imperial City to breach it.
More Semi-God Realm warriors came till the total number reached over 80. Lu Li was still not confident though. In history, several immortals came to attack the Divine Imperial City. However, they all left in frustration.
Lu Li could gather one hundred Semi-God Realm warriors, but would they be as good as immortals?
Absolutely not!
Therefore, Lu Li had been cultivating. If he could become an immortal soon, then maybe his chances of breaching the Divine Imperial City would be greater.
Five days later, there were over 90 Semi-God Realm warriors that gathered. No more came during the past couple of days. Those who could come had probably arrived already.
Lu Li was cultivating in the Wicked Bead and did not care about those affairs. The Deaf Taoist, Blazing Huo and Chen Tianxian had a discussion first. Then they consulted Lu Renhuang. Eventually, they decided that Blazing Huo would go out and manage in case the Semi-God Realm warriors that entered the Divine Imperial Universe would become uncontrollable.
The Deaf Taoist and Chen Tianxian would continue to guard here. He Yue’s subsidiary body had covered over half of the Divine Imperial Universe. In another half a month, she could monitor the entire Divine Imperial Universe.
Lu Li was making an effort at the last minute. He wanted to see if he could become immortal at the critical moment. But the more desperate he was, the more disappointed he became. He had been cultivating for a month without achieving any progress.
Lu Li stopped cultivating after another half a month. It would be strange if he could make a breakthrough in such times, like forcing a donkey to dance.
After stepping out of the Wicked Bead, Lu Li asked He Yue, “Can you monitor the Divine Imperial Universe now? How is the situation?”
He Yue nodded. “I can keep every place in tabs apart from the Divine Imperial City. Currently, everything is fine. Almost all the major cities are occupied. The warriors of the affiliated families, some have escaped into small worlds and the rest are killed. But there shouldn’t be many powerful warriors in the Divine Imperial Universe. They must have escaped or gone into the Divine Imperial City.”
“Fine!”
Lu Li asked Chen Tianxian, “Is everything ready now?”
Chen Tianxian nodded. “Yes. All we are waiting for is your command.”
“Then here is my command!”
Lu Li waved his hand. “All of you powerful warriors, go to the Divine Imperial City. Gather outside the city. Do not waste any time.”
“Father, let’s go. Let’s see what is special about the Divine Imperial City.”
Lu Li turned to Lu Renhuang. The latter was eager to see as well. The Divine Imperial City was a piece of Relic. If the city could be breached and the Relic could be obtained, the Lu Family could enjoy prosperity throughout the generations to come.
Lu Li asked Chen Tianxian to stay and safeguard the passageway. Together with He Yue, the Deaf Taoist, Lu Renhuang and Patriarch Ye, Lu Li entered the Wicked Bead and took flight toward the northwest.
There was some distance to the Divine Imperial Universe. But it would cost two to three days at most when the Wicked Bead flew at top speed. Anyway, it would take time for the Semi-God Realm warriors to arrive via teleportation.
“I wonder if Young Master Li can do it.”
While looking at the Wicked Bead as it flew away, Chen Tianxian was filled with anticipation. Lu Li killed Yan Zhen while the latter had a Relic armor on. Maybe... Lu Li could breach the Divine Imperial City. He was a man that could deliver miracles all the time.
