Chapter 1067: Emperor Zi
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Li traveled over a great distance and tried hard to take control of the immortal’s body. Now, he was being taken over by the immortal’s body?
That hand that grabbed him was filled with immense energy. It made him look like an insect, unable to move.
How horrifying was the immortal’s body’s energy? How strong was its defensive strength? Lu Li would not be able to hurt an inch of skin on the corpse even if he could attack.
The strange energy in his body was swarming toward his Soul Pond and in an instant, had surrounded his Soul Pond. From the strange energy outside the Soul Pond, a phantom came into being. It was a warrior that had golden skin with wings, just like the immortal’s body outside.
“Young man, do you have any unfilled wish? I will help you with them!”
A message suddenly came to Lu Li’s soul. That phantom was talking, “I am addressed as Emperor Zi in the Divinity. I passed away ten thousand years ago. My soul has never dispersed. I just have one unfinished business. Now that I am going to take your body, I will compensate you. Whatever you need, talk away.”
Just as Lu Li thought...
Lu Li had lost his hope. The immortal’s body was going to possess him, just like the demon inside the Coffin of Dragon King.
Emperor Zi?
Anyone that was regarded as an emperor in the Divinity must be intimidating. The Slayer was a warrior of the same level. Therefore, this immortal must be a super mighty warrior from the Divinity before he passed away.
A super mighty warrior from the Divinity was going to take his body? Could Lu Li fight back? He believed not even God of Barbarian or God of Sorcerer could.
“What I need?”
Lu Li did need something. If this super mighty warrior from the Divinity could help him kill Yan Gu and the others after he took Lu Li’s body, the Heaven Reverse Universe would have been saved.
However!
While he was thinking, the silver dragon mark glowed again. That silver dragon swarmed out from the Core of Soul, emitting glaring rays of silver light and terrifying energy. This silver dragon appeared to desire to fight the remnant of Emperor Zi’s soul, a super mighty warrior from the Divinity.
“Eh?”
The remnant of Emperor Zi’s soul was surprised. He said with disbelief, “This silver dragon... this is the mortal world and you are a mortal being. How is it possible that you have such a dragon’s soul to protect you? This is an Enchanted Soul higher than the seventh rank. What is your story? Which Plane are you from in the Divinity? Which family?”
Lu Li was confused by Emperor Zi’s words. The silver dragon mark was a dragon’s soul? An Enchanted Soul higher than the seventh rank? There were different Planes in the Divinity?
Before Lu Li could reply, the silver dragon mark whooshed out toward the remnant of Emperor Zi’s soul. The two parties came at each other inside Lu Li’s soul. They appeared to be in an intense fight.
Lu Li’s psychic power was focused on Emperor Zi’s remnant soul and the silver dragon mark. This was serious... the remnant soul was from a super mighty warrior in the Divinity, and that soul was fighting against the silver dragon mark in Lu Li’s soul. One wrong move and Lu Li’s mind could explode.
Lu Li was incredibly nervous. If the silver dragon mark could not contain Emperor Zi’s remnant soul, he would be possessed by Emperor Zi. Lu Li would be a dead man walking, his soul would be in eternal slumber, and he would never come back to his senses.
“Never mind. Stop!”
It was a moment for the silver dragon mark and Emperor Zi’s remnant soul in the fight. However, Lu Li felt a century had passed. When he heard Emperor Zi’s helpless voice, Lu Li was thrown into ecstasy. The silver dragon mark seemed to have... gained the upper hand?
“Dragon soul, stop mow!”
Emperor Zi said with frustration and disappointment, “Maybe, I am destined to experience this disaster or maybe, I should have fallen into complete doom ten thousand years ago. Young man, you can use my body, and you can even pick up some knowledge from my body. My body is the strongest under the Third Plane in the Divinity. In my body contained the extraordinary methodology of body refinement. Whether you can learn it or not will be dependent on your fortune. But... you have to agree to two of my conditions!”
The silver dragon parted from the remnant of Emperor Zi’s soul as if the former had a consciousness. The silver dragon re-entered Lu Li’s soul pond to stand guard.
After hearing Emperor Zi’s words, Lu Li’s body and soul were trembling. It was like he was having a seizure. He tried hard to calm himself down. He sent a message. “Please, do tell. I will not refuse as long as they are within my abilities.”
“Good!”
Emperor Zi’s remnant soul was becoming thinner and could disperse at any time now. He said, “I was killed by my enemy, and I left my daughter behind. It was a critical moment. I had to take her and seal her under the Cliff of Sins at the Third Plane of Divinity. I don’t know how she is now. If you can go to the Third Plane of the Divinity, save her and take care of her for me.”
“What...”
Lu Li was shocked. Emperor Zi was gone for ten thousand years, and his daughter was still alive? She must be a powerful warrior in the Divinity. She had to be taken cared of by Lu Li?
As if Emperor Zi could read Lu Li’s mind, the former explained, “If nothing went wrong, she should still be sleeping at the moment. If you can go to the Third Plane of the Divinity, you will be capable, more than enough to take care of her. Also... you have this seventh rank Enchanted Soul in the mortal world. You must have incredible stories... waste no time. Yes or no?”
This time, Lu Li did not hesitate. He nodded and said, “If I can go to the Third Plane and find your daughter, I will save her and take care of her!”
“Good!”
Emperor Zi nodded and continued to his second condition, “While it is within your abilities, help me kill my enemy. He is Emperor Yang from the Third Plane. He cut off my head. Once you kill Emperor Yang, find my head and then bury me under the Cliff of Sins.”
“...”
This time, Lu Li was even more speechless. Killing a super mighty warrior in the Divinity? Was he serious? Would Lu Li crumble under such tremendous pressure?
“Hmm!”
Emperor Zi snorted. “Without the courage to rise to the challenge, or the determination to face death head-on and the strength to clear out enemies, I’d advise you against going to the Divinity. It would be a dead-end for you even if you did go. You’d better be a ruler of your mortal world and live a comfortable life instead.”
“Not going to the Divinity?”
Lu Li thought about it. He shook his head. He must go to the Divinity. He had to find his sister. He had to bring her back so that she would not suffer all by herself out there.
Lu Li was still thinking. Emperor Zi was losing patience. He sneered. “Son, will you agree or not? If not, I would rather destroy my body than let you have it.”
“Destroy it?”
Lu Li came to his senses. He would have wasted his trip if Emperor Zi destroyed his body. He must say yes now. Also, Emperor Zi said that Lu Li should do it while it was within his abilities. If he could not do it because he was unable to, that wouldn’t be a breach of promise.
“Nice!”
Lu Li sent a message via psychic power, “Emperor Zi, I promise you that I will fulfill your wish as long as I can do it.”
“Okay!”
Emperor Zi was satisfied. He looked at the silver dragon mark in Lu Li’s Soul Pond and said, “Come on, dragon soul, take my remnant soul. That will be doing your master a favor. Son, don’t forget about your promise. I just used my skill to cast a spell. If you violate your promise, you will be completely wiped out—body and soul—when you go through the Divine Trials. Also... when you go to the Divinity, if you want to use my body to fight against your enemies, you must be confident that you can kill them. Otherwise, once information gets out, many immortals will come and take my body. You will find yourself in trouble...”
“Swish, swish~”
A silver dragon dashed out from Lu Li’s Soul Pond. The silver dragon swallowed Emperor Zi’s remnant soul which did not resist at all. Eventually, Emperor Zi’s remnant soul vanished inside Lu Li’s soul.
