He was only a hundred zhang away!
For a Heaven-and-Earth Realm cultivator like Li Xiaoya, that was already within lethal striking range. And judging by the way Hell King Wugui was sitting in meditation, cultivating, he had no defenses up whatsoever. Such a golden opportunity was exceedingly rare...
The thought of killing a Mighty One Stage demon beast seeped into Li Xiaoya's mind like poison. Of all the treasures Hell King Wugui possessed, the Hell Crown alone-a Heaven-Opening Treasure-was enough to make his heart race. If he killed this fellow, wouldn't the Hell Crown be his?
The more Li Xiaoya thought about it, the more tempted he became. Yet he did not let the slightest trace of his aura escape. With his current cultivation, he would naturally never make such a basic mistake...
Although Li Xiaoya was tempted, he did not rush to act. Instead, he searched for the Teleportation Formation leading to the next layer. He easily discovered a passage directly ahead of him within the vast, empty cavern. Faint spatial fluctuations drifted from it. Clearly, the Teleportation Formation leading to the Sixteenth Layer was there...
I'll get over there first! Li Xiaoya thought. He slowly edged along the cavern wall, circling toward it. He truly dared not move any faster. Hell King Wugui was practically within arm's reach, and he absolutely could not alert him...
The enormous cavern spanned tens of thousands of zhang. Li Xiaoya spent nearly five or six hours slowly circling around it before finally reaching the passage beside the Teleportation Formation...
With his extraordinary senses, Li Xiaoya discovered that the passage was only a few hundred zhang long and was not particularly spacious. If that shimmering ring of five-colored spiritual light was not the way to the Sixteenth Layer, what else could it be?
