513: The Chase

"Hold!!"

When his opponent learned his secret technique and used it against him, Ma Xinjie immediately started cursing.

But he immediately forgot his regret and saw Lu Li say:

"Three minutes are up. I'm sorry, you couldn't defeat me."

As he spoke, the Great Sun Halo behind Lu Li disappeared, the "Fusion Acupoint" went out one by one, and the red lotus that had surged to a height of ten thousand meters came to an abrupt halt.

All his power and momentum vanished instantly, as if his entire body had been shut down.

Even updating a phone's system requires a restart, and since Lu Li has broken through a major realm, he naturally needs to perform a power cycle self-check as well.

Fortunately, the process was quick; the golden Great Sun Halo reappeared in just three seconds.

At the same moment, the "Fusion Acupoint" were also ignited, and the meridians immediately began to transport energy.

Burning red lines appeared under Lu Li's skin, and dense clusters of lightning bolts shot out from his body.

This is divine will restraining and taming the sun's energy; the new "system" has been fully loaded.

Once the machine passes the full-power operation test, the upgrade will be considered successful.

Lu Li clenched his fists, and the "Great Sun Halo" shone with boundless light, sending out streaks of fiery solar prominences.

The 720 Fusion Acupoint throughout the body immediately erupted with energy, spewing out a dazzling ion storm that swept across an area of nearly 100 square kilometers.

Roads and reinforced concrete buildings were all smashed and crushed into particles.

Living people were instantly charred and carbonized, turning into a cloud of ashes and blown away.

The sky burned crimson, churning with fiery tornadoes. The earth was not spared either, as the terrifying energy tore it apart, triggering an 8-magnitude earthquake.

In an instant, the earth shook violently, and houses collapsed in large swaths, resembling a scene of apocalyptic disaster, leaving people utterly horrified.

Everyone looked to their Emperor, hoping he could do something.

But Ma Xinjie had already prepared to flee, and transmitted his Amaterasu:

[This guy's a monster, I can't fight him, I need to get out of here... Come closer to me]

[Start it quickly, I'm coming right now!]

Amaterasu dared not face Lu Li alone, and upon hearing this, she quickly moved closer.

At the same time, Lu Li drew the ion storm back into his body; his body had already completed its self-examination.

Only by completely mastering one's own power can one truly be called a "Martial Saint".

It was at this moment that Lu Li sensed a familiar aura, and the Kunlun Mirror also emitted a strong desire.

The source is Ma Xinjie's head, his Sea of Consciousness... This person indeed possesses a fragment of a divine realm, and he has refined it extremely thoroughly, so much so that even the Kunlun Mirror cannot take over it.

Ma Xinjie, holding Amaterasu's hand, stared coldly at Lu Li, his body enveloped in blue light as he activated his [Cross-Realm] Divine Ability.

Lu Li didn't stop him, but calmly and composedly looked at the other person.

Originally a single entity, the Kunlun Mirror can't do much else, but tracking its coordinates is a piece of cake.

In this way, I can also go to that world and obtain an entire planet!

It has developed to its current state relying on just one Blue Star; imagine the earth-shattering benefits that would be brought by having another one!

"Your planet will belong to me!"

The two disappeared at the speed of light, seemingly unaware of Lu Li's last words.

The Kunlun Mirror, following its owner's wishes, has begun tracking the coordinates.

A vast galaxy was reflected in the mirror, and the camera then zoomed in, passing through countless constellation arms, and locating a galaxy with only one star.

It would only take a few more minutes, so Lu Li wasn't in a hurry.

He took out two "spiritual durians" bigger than basketballs from the spiritual realm, ate them shell and all, to replenish his nutrition.

After igniting 720 Fusion Acupoint, the body density increases every minute, requiring replenishment.

Just then, accompanied by several whooshing sounds, his "family and friends" gathered around.

Xing Ru could even stand properly, she asked first, "The Emperor has escaped back to his world? Are you going to chase after him?"

"Don't worry, he can't get away."

Lu Li swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "I plan to capture him alive and publicly execute him."

The enemy was far weaker than expected, and the plan had to be revised accordingly.

Li Yuanzhong and the others all wholeheartedly agreed, saying that this devilish Emperor had almost buried the Divine Continent, and deserved this retribution.

At this moment, Xiao Cha pointed into the distance and shouted, "The Devils high command is trying to escape!"

The invincible Emperor had actually fled, leaving his subordinates stunned for a moment before they realized they had to run for their lives.

Wan Qing and Xing Ru panicked and were about to chase after them.

"Don't rush, you can take your time playing."

Starlight shone in Lu Li's eyes as the six flying swords and two puppets changed course and flew above Izumo.

[No leaving]

Upon receiving the command, the creators immediately began monitoring the entire island, ensuring that no one could escape.

Wan Qing and Xing Ru were immediately relieved. Xia Weiyin then asked, "Could we try to find Eunuch Hua?"

"Let me see..."

Lu Li scanned the entire Sakura Capital with his divine sense and said, "The person isn't dead, but imprisoned in Meiji Shrine... Heh, interesting."

Lu Li smiled slightly and led the group in a grand procession towards Meiji Shrine.

This area was shattered by the shockwave, but one underground prison remained relatively intact.

Hua Ruoxi was pierced through the collarbone and limbs by steel nails and pinned to the wall.

Hearing the commotion outside, the old eunuch guessed that Lu Li had broken down the door, which was the only possibility.

With a series of muffled thuds, large chunks of earth and rocks continued to fall, and the dust choked the old eunuch, covering his head and face.

The prisoners in the jail began to stir, some even letting out terrifying, inhuman screams.

Once the commotion outside subsided, an unexpected person entered the old eunuch's cell.

A beautiful figure rushed over; it was none other than Kawashima Kakko.

Tears streamed down her face as she cried, her voice clear and strong, "Anda, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was bewitched... I'll let you out right now."

Kawashima Kakko reached out her delicate hand and pulled out the steel nail from the old eunuch's collarbone.

Blood splattered all over her face, adding a touch of gloom to Kawashima Kakko's expression, but she wiped it away with a wave of her hand.

Hua Ruoxi sighed and said, "Did Heavenly Monarch Lu win?"

"The Emperor has fled..."

Kawashima Kakko then removed the steel nails from the old eunuch's limbs before saying:

"Anda, I was really wrong, please forgive me, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, a large hole appeared in the ceiling, Lu Li and his group came down.

Kawashima Kakko turned pale and immediately threw herself into Hua Ruoxi's arms, trembling.

"Xianyu, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Hua Ruoxi gently patted Xianyu's back to comfort him, but she called him by his real name.

Kawashima Kakko felt something was amiss, but the next second everything went black, and she knew nothing more.

Hua Ruoxi pointed her finger at the back of his head, Innate True Qi instantly destroyed his central nervous system.

Xianyu died without any pain, only with his eyes wide open and a look of confusion on his face.

Hua Ruoxi reached out to help her close her eyes, and said in a trembling voice:

"I am deeply grateful for the Heavenly Monarch Lord's life-saving grace. Please quickly burn down the [Tactical Ghost] related facilities to prevent leaks."

Lu Li nodded and said, "You can handle this matter."

The Kunlun Mirror displayed a slowly rotating Blue Star, identical to Blue Star, except that the Xia Country portion was charred black...

Lu Li cold, and even his wives felt their hearts tremble.

Su Qing took something out and handed it over, saying, "Take this, it might come in handy."

It was clearly an Octagonal Palace Lantern, also known as a "Life Lamp".

Lu Li took it and nodded, then activated [Cross-Realm] and disappeared.
