Chapter 112: Breaking Out a Bloody Path

Within the bamboo sea.

Five people flashed into motion, surrounding the Gold-Devouring Rat King.

From within their bodies, streaks of profound formation spiritual light spiraled out; that spiritual light was as dazzling as the rising sun, shining upon the pitch-black night sky, transforming into a realm of profound light that enveloped the Gold-Devouring Rat King.

These ten people shared the same root and origin!

They were cultivated by the City Lord's Mansion at the cost of immense resources.

The purpose was to grant them the strength to block King-tier ferocious beasts.

The battle formation executed by their combined efforts possessed power that already surpassed a peak Martial Monarch, sufficient to rival a King-tier ferocious beast.

Lu Li knew.

This kind of obstruction would only last for a moment.

No matter how strong the combined force of those five people was, they could not break the boundary between Martial Monarch and Martial King; their combined strength aided by the formation could not even compare to the heads of the eight great academies from the battle outside the city.

As long as the Gold-Devouring Rat King reacted, it would crush them within moments.

Yet even so!

Lu Li still abandoned those five people without the slightest hesitation.

Time was racing against the clock!

It was a contest of who was faster!

If he could detonate the underground fire vein in time, everyone might still have a glimmer of hope, but once they were all trapped here, it would only be a matter of who died first and who died later.

Staying behind was of no use at all!

"Whoosh!"

Lu Li transformed into a stream of light, continuing to charge toward the deeper parts of this bamboo sea.

Behind him, the remaining five people followed closely.

A moment later.

The third King-tier ferocious beast arrived right on schedule.

Lu Li abandoned the final five people and charged forward alone.

Since he had reached this step!

Then there was no way back!

Before him!

A hundred points of Nirvana starlight swirled out; the starlight was cold and murderous, shining amidst the pitch-black night sky, dancing and swirling to protect his surroundings, and any ferocious beast that approached would scream and fall to the ground.

But before he could charge out a hundred feet, a fear of death completely enveloped him.

His hair stood on end!

Lu Li looked up involuntarily.

Above the pitch-black firmament, a crimson-red sharp claw pressed down; that claw was like a pillar supporting the sky, its five sharp, scarlet talons spread wide, appearing like peerless sharpness as it struck down from across the vast sky.

"Ibis King!"

Lu Li's expression changed drastically.

After breaking through to Martial Monarch in the Holy City's secret ground, with the help of his ultimate control over the origin, his combat power could even rival a peak Martial Monarch, but facing a King-tier ferocious beast, he still would not have the slightest power to resist.

Feeling the monstrous power within that claw!

Lu Li's figure flashed.

He retreated rapidly!

But that claw was even faster; before he could take a second step back, it had already grabbed down.

"Pfft!"

Lu Li spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Around his body, the swirling hundred points of starlight collapsed with a boom, dissipating under the night sky.

"Stop!"

Amidst the distant forest sea.

An angry shout came!

The figure of Vice City Lord Yu Wuji appeared abruptly, raising his hand to block the claw that continued to descend.

"Haha, Yu Wuji, you still want to save people while dueling me? You underestimate me too much."

Further away.

The Ju Xiang Xuan Wang gave a cold shout.

A trunk reaching to the sky pierced through the pitch-black sky, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, and swept directly onto Yu Wuji's back.

"Hmph!"

Yu Wuji let out a muffled groan, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.

"Go!"

Lu Li immediately wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth.

He leaped up and continued to charge forward.

And at this moment, the Ju Xiang Xuan Wang and the Ibis King arrived together.

"Haha, Yu Wuji, fighting two against one, do you really think you are Wang Yuanqian?"

The loud laughter fell.

Within that vast and boundless bamboo sea.

The wind and clouds surged instantly!

An even more earth-shattering battle erupted intensely!

Lu Li dashed forward at high speed, ignoring everything happening behind him; he had only one thought in his mind, which was that he must reach that cave dwelling at the fastest possible speed.

To completely detonate the underground fire veins and bury everything here, including the fierce beasts!

"Haha, to think that even with the obstruction of four Kings, a fish that slipped through the net still managed to rush here; this truly makes this Commander look at you with new eyes." A peak Martial Monarch realm fierce beast appeared and laughingly blocked Lu Li's path.

"Get out of my way!"

Lu Li waved his large hand.

Above the pitch-black night sky, five sources suddenly shot out, and following those five sources, a sixth source appeared in response; they surged magnificently, transforming into five-colored beams of light, scattering around the peak Martial Monarch realm fierce beast.

Shining upon each other from afar!

Operating in an even more profound formation!

Immediately following, another vast expanse of pitch-black ghost mist emerged, like a towering giant wave, continuously pouring into the great formation and fusing rapidly.

In just an instant, that patch of space turned into a dead zone, trapping the fierce beast within it!

"Roar!"

Inside the great formation.

That peak Martial Monarch realm fierce beast let out a roar and unleashed the terrifying power within its body.

Rumble!

The Five Spirit Killing Formation shook incessantly!

Lu Li paid no heed and continued to rush forward at high speed.

After breaking through to Martial Monarch, following a period of deduction, he had increased the five sources required for the base of the Five Spirit Killing Formation to six, increasing the power by more than several times, already exceeding the limits of the Five Spirit Killing Formation.

It had completely departed from the scope of the original Five Spirit Killing Formation!

It was called the Ten Thousand Source Universal Formation!

When this Ten Thousand Source Universal Formation was deployed to its limit, it could trap a peak Martial Monarch, and even if not operated at full power, it could block one for a moment.

Lu Li moved ten thousand feet in an instant.

Letting the attacks of the surrounding fierce beasts land on his body, he grabbed a handful of medicinal pills and stuffed them into his mouth.

For this trip to the Endless Wilderness, King Gan had prepared a large amount of healing pills for them; the efficacy was so strong that it even had miraculous effects for Martial Kings, but consuming them like this would inevitably leave various impurities in his body, causing even more serious damage to his body in the future.

But, Lu Li could not care about that much!

He had to maintain peak combat power!

Once his combat power dropped due to injuries at this time, it would not be long before he was trapped and killed here; now, no matter what method it was, as long as it could let him hold on for one more second, he would choose it without hesitation.

In his mind!

Thousand-fold Talent was deployed to the limit!

Source guidance!

Guiding the medicinal properties of various spirit herbs into the countless cells of his body to the maximum extent, the conflict of medicinal power disappeared, with the least amount remaining in his body.

Spiritual light flickered around Lu Li's body.

Almost in an instant, he recovered from all his injuries.

He waved his large hand.

From all directions, illusory palm prints emerged again; those palm prints formed various hand gestures, each containing terrifying power, like ten million Buddha palm prints, transforming into countless streams of light that merged into one in the air.

Boom!

Spiritual light flared!

A single, truly massive palm print appeared in the air!

"Go!"

Lu Li shouted loudly.

That massive palm print seemed unstoppable, sweeping horizontally all the way forward.

"Roar, roar, roar..."

The palm print swept horizontally all the way!

Countless obstructing fierce beasts screamed and fell to the ground!

Lu Li had broken through to Martial Monarch, and with his ultimate control over the sources, ordinary Martial Monarchs were no match for him; before the power of this Cloud Illusion Hand was exhausted, those ordinary fierce beasts surrounding him could not possibly block it.

Lu Li moved in a flash.

Using Thousand-fold Talent to control it with all his might, he followed closely behind the giant palm of the Cloud Illusion Hand.

But before he had rushed very far, a terrifying power surged over.

The Cloud Illusion Hand shattered with a bang!
