Chapter 110: A Desperate Gamble

Inside the room.

Lu Li's expression was calm.

In the library of the Tiansheng Academy, he had once seen a formation while searching for and deducing the Five Spirits Killing Array.

The Eight Extremes Profound Array!

This formation was born at the beginning of the spiritual energy resurgence.

At that time, the Martial Dao had just begun to emerge.

Cultivation method inheritances were insufficient, everything was waiting to be rebuilt, and there were many sleeping powers that had not been awakened and could not be utilized by people; it was for this reason that many human predecessors joined forces, leading to the birth of this Eight Extremes Profound Array.

This formation could activate all sleeping powers, assisting people in practicing cultivation methods and divine abilities.

Precisely because of this!

Within those few short years.

By relying on the various powers that were constantly being activated, the human race was able to create many cultivation methods and martial arts techniques more suitable for human practice on the foundation of Spirit-Building cultivation methods.

What a pity!

A hundred years have passed!

The human Martial Dao has revived, various cultivation methods have blossomed, and all kinds of powers have been utilized to the extreme.

This Eight Extremes Profound Array was cast aside, with no one paying it any mind!

Lu Li had stumbled upon it by chance.

Out of curiosity, he had flipped through it a few times, but he had not wasted time comprehending it.

But now...

"It is time to properly comprehend it."

Lu Li muttered to himself.

In his mind.

The fused thousand-fold talent was exerted to the limit.

He began to comprehend the Eight Extremes Profound Array.

In the blink of an eye.

Half a day had passed.

Lu Li slowly opened his eyes, and streaks of formation light appeared one after another around him.

The Eight Extremes Array!

It had already reached great completion!

Formations are completely different from cultivation methods; the Dao of formations is simple, prioritizing the formation base and formation momentum. Comprehending them is far easier than cultivation methods; as long as one can find the formation base and comprehend the formation momentum, one can thoroughly master the formation.

For Lu Li, these two points were as simple as eating and drinking.

What's more, this formation was merely a small activation-type formation and was not very complex, making it even easier for Lu Li to comprehend.

"This formation uses spirit crystals as its foundation; if I can find top-grade spirit crystals, its power should be able to increase significantly."

Lu Li muttered softly.

When he picked the Red Vermilion Fruit in that cave, he only had to reach out slightly to sense the endless surging fire energy within it; wanting to fully activate this power would be difficult for an ordinary Eight Extremes Profound Array.

And the Eight Extremes Profound Array is based on 3,600 spirit crystals!

To increase the power of the formation!

One needs to improve the quality of the spirit crystals!

If those 3,600 spirit crystals could all be replaced with top-grade ones, perhaps it could instantly activate all the underground fire veins, dealing a most tragic and heavy blow to the gathered armies of fierce beasts.

Thinking of this.

Lu Li stood up.

He flashed and left the villa.

A quarter of an hour later.

Lu Li's figure appeared quietly in the City Lord's Mansion.

Immediately after.

The City Lord's Mansion was a flurry of activity.

Soon, night arrived quietly!

After everything was prepared, more than ten figures quietly left the City Lord's Mansion.

They traveled quickly.

Lu Li looked at the figures guarding his side, his heart rising and falling.

Vice City Lord Yu Wuji!

This was the person sent by Qian Wang to protect him!

Besides him, there were ten other middle-aged martial artists he did not recognize at all.

They had all reached the peak of the Martial Sovereign realm.

Within the human Martial Dao!

Martial Kings are extremely difficult to break through to, and their numbers are extremely scarce.

Even in the Sheng Cheng, apart from those super Martial Dao families, almost no one can reach it.

And below the Martial King!

The peak Martial Sovereign is the strongest!

Even among fierce beasts, such a powerhouse could command an entire army and is the most capable assistant to a King-realm fierce beast!

The City Lord's Mansion has dispatched ten people at once!

They must have gathered all the forces they have been cultivating in secret.

King Qian cannot be unaware of this!

This trip into the Wujin Huangye is a life-or-death gamble!

With the slightest carelessness, these powerhouses who have followed along will die without a burial place!

If all these people die here, it will likely deal a devastating blow to the City Lord's Mansion; for the sake of the plan he proposed, the City Lord's Mansion is almost staking everything on one throw!

"Do not overthink it. Although I come from the Sheng Cheng, I achieved my breakthrough to the Martial King realm in Qian City and have long since become one with it. I do not wish to see Qian City destroyed; I volunteered for this trip into the Wujin Huangye." Beside them, Deputy City Lord Yu Wuji spoke softly.

"Indeed, we are all born and raised in Qian City, and it is only through the cultivation of the City Lord's Mansion that we have reached our current standing. If Qian City is destroyed, we would all be better off dead." The other ten people also said in unison.

Lu Li remained silent.

He knew very well.

There is only this one chance!

Once missed, Qian City will be slowly breached under the siege of the fierce beasts, and there is no second possibility. Even if not for these people, for his own sake, he must make this plan succeed.

In the blink of an eye.

The twelve of them quietly left Qian City.

In the Wujin Huangye, everyone hid their figures in the night.

The fierce beast army has assembled!

The current Wujin Huangye is almost completely occupied by fierce beasts.

The first thing they must do is figure out how to break through the heavy encirclement of the fierce beasts and enter the cave dwelling where the Red Vermilion Fruit tree grows; before that, they need to avoid being discovered by the fierce beasts as much as possible.

Moving forward along the way.

Everyone discovered quite a few fierce beasts lurking vaguely in the darkness.

Fortunately, everyone's cultivation is exceptionally high!

Their methods for concealing their figures are not weak, and coupled with the Purple Profound Spirit Jade gifted by King Qian, they easily avoided those fierce beasts.

However, they all knew very well.

These were only low-level fierce beasts on the periphery.

Once they go deeper, they might even encounter Martial King-realm fierce beasts, so they must be careful at all times and cannot be the slightest bit negligent.

Very soon.

Another few hours passed.

Following Lu Li's guidance, the group stealthily arrived outside that vast bamboo forest.

When searching for the Red Vermilion Fruit last time, Lu Li, with the body of a Martial Spirit, only spent less than two days to get here; now that he has broken through to the Martial Lord realm, traveling at full speed under the cover of night, it naturally did not take long.

The bamboo sea is vast and boundless!

The gloomy wind blew past, rustling!

Everyone hid outside the bamboo forest, all carefully concealing themselves.

According to the information obtained by the City Lord's Mansion, four King-realm fierce beasts and three routes of fierce beast armies have gathered in this Wujin Huangye, and the strongest batch of fierce beasts are all gathered here.

This bamboo sea has practically become the base camp for this route of the fierce beast army.

"What should we do now?"

Beside them, someone asked in a low voice.

Throughout the journey here, they had not sensed much threat!

With the help of that Purple Profound Spirit Jade!

There was even a feeling of strolling in a leisurely courtyard.

But amidst this sea of forest, several extremely formidable auras appeared, and the strength of those auras made them feel as if they would be discovered the moment they moved.

"To enter that cave dwelling, we must pass through this place."

Lu Li spoke calmly.

He had anticipated this matter long ago.

Otherwise, he would not have asked King Qian to send people to escort him.

Now, they must seize the right moment to rush into the bamboo sea at the fastest speed; once entangled by the fierce beasts, they will need the people around them to help block them.

"With the four great beast kings gathered here, it is not easy to break in!"

Deputy City Lord Yu Wuji gave a bitter smile.

They might be able to break into this bamboo sea by relying on the element of surprise at the beginning, but looking at the tight formation of these fierce beasts, they would never be able to get very far; once discovered, if the four great beast kings arrive together, not one of them will be able to leave.

"Therefore, the speed must be fast!"
