“Very good!”

Zi Ji pulled a long face. Her people were smashed down one by one. “Lu Li, you have successfully enraged me. I wanted to kill you at first but now, I want to turn you into our soul slave. I will make you a slave for the Mermaid Race throughout eternity.”

“Woo, woo~”

Zi Ji played the oyster shell in her hand, but a different song. Confused, Lu Li frowned. In his Core of Soul was a silver dragon mark that enabled him to be immune to practically all soul attacks. That had been proven. Why was Zi Ji set in her way?

“I am fooled!”

Soon, Lu Li sensed what had gone differently. He was not affected by an illusion this time. This song was not a soul attack. It appeared that Zi Ji... was summoning something?

“Bang, bang, bang!”

All sides were awash with the flowing tides. Lu Li could see with psychic power—countless Xuan Beasts swarming over within the water. Dark smoke billowed around the islands. Was some kind of formation going to be activated?

“Let’s end this.”

Lu Li was unwilling to waste more time. Zi Ji must not have other moves. Since he had forced the most powerful means out of her, he would not be so foolish as to remain standing to be attacked by Zi Ji.

“Go!”

Lu Li gathered over a thousand of Feather Wind weapons and aimed at Zi Ji. Many more Feather Wind weapons were flying toward Zi Ji. Lu Li’s attack was comprehensive.

“Water Cover”

Zi Ji wielded the white truncheon. Outside her body was a rippling, thick and transparent layer. The Feather Wind weapons hit on the Water Cover which had the same effect as the water shields. The Water Cover was not affected at all. It only trembled a little but remained intact.

“Dragon Demon, come out!”

There was no other way. A red light shone between Lu Li’s eyebrows. Next, a shadow came out and it gradually grew to be a horrifying beast.

The Dragon Demon made a long wheezing noise in the open air. The Xuan Beasts that were charging forward from all sides were all stunned frozen, trembling. Those who were still in the distance scattered away in fright...

“This, this, this is a... Mystical Beast?”

Zi Ji suddenly stopped playing the oyster shell at the moment, staring at the Dragon Demon in fear.

Even though she had taken the appearance of a human being, she was still a Xuan Beast. She could feel the horrifying energy coming from the Dragon Demon.

Even those Beast Gods and Mystical Beasts were all beasts, but there was a wide gap in strength between the two kinds.

The ranks of Xuan Beasts determined their deterrent force. Beast Gods could overwhelm Beast Kings. Since Lu Li had the power of a Beast God in him, he could control the Beast Kings.

“Run!”

Without any hesitation, Zi Ji had decided to give up upon the appearance of the Dragon Demon, regardless of her own powers.

She might be able to fight Semi-God Realm humans, but she would never have the courage to attack the Dragon Demon because she was overwhelmed by Dragon Demon’s energy. She was in a disadvantage before the battle even started. How could she fight in this case?

“Do you really think you can run now?”

Lu Li put on a sarcastic grin. He gave the order to Dragon Demon through spiritual connection. The Dragon Demon spread its wings and its horn kindled in red. A surge of air current swept across, trapping Zi Ji who was just trying to flee. She could not move one bit.

“Dragon Demon, tell all the weak Xuan Beasts to get lost!”

Lu Li ordered the Dragon Demon again. The latter howled and all the Xuan Beasts fled away in disorder. All disappeared in the time for a few breaths.

“Buzzing~”

Lu Li let Patriarch Sun and the other patriarchs out. Waving his hand, Lu Li said, “Go and check the island. Collect the valuables.”

Since the fight had broken out, Lu Li would not be softhearted. Zi Ji was the master of the Underworld Realm. She must possess valuables. It was a pity not to take them.

Patriarch Sun was delighted to see Zi Ji being overwhelmed by the Dragon Demon. Breaking free from the influence of the Dragon Demon, Patriarch Sun and the other four flew to the island, searching for the valuables and treasures Zi Ji had accumulated over the years.

The Dragon Demon was large and could not remain suspended in the air. It fell to the island. Still, Zi Ji was bonded by the red air current and could not move one bit in the air.

In her eyes were despair and fear. Staring at the Dragon Demon, Zi Ji could not understand how Lu Li could have conquered such a powerful Mystical Beast.

Zi Ji once spent time lurking among the Asmodians but she remained a low key. After all, the Asmodian Lord was powerful. There was little information she could collect.

When Lu Li killed the Asmodian Lord, she returned to the Underworld Realm. She did hear about Lu Li controlling the Dragon Demon but did not know the actual strength of the Dragon Demon.

Anyways!

Zi Ji knew she had lost, completely. She aspired to get the Wicked Bead, only to cost her own life.

She cultivated for thousands of years to reach the stage of a Beast God. It had only been a few years since she succeeded and now, she was going to the end of her life?

“Zi Ji, two choices for you. Death or surrender to me!”

Lu Li’s words pulled Zi Ji back from her thoughts. She sneered, “Once, Mystical Beasts were born in the Mermaid Race. How can we surrender to you, a puny human? Do it now. Don’t waste your breath.” She said, without any hesitation.

“Mystical Beast?”

Lu Li rolled his eyes. “You say Mystical Beasts were born in the Mermaid Race. If so, were you from the Divinity? Do you seriously think I am a child? Ridiculous!” He mocked her words.

“What we call Mystical Beast is not what you think it is!”

Zi Ji continued with pride, “Of beasts, only races that had ancestors that went to the Divinity, that had become immortals, could be regarded as one that has seen the birth of Mystical Beasts.”

“I see!”

Lu Li understood but he had another question, “Wait a minute. If there once were Mystical Beasts in the Underworld Realm, why was the Heaven Reverse Universe not informed? If you did have Mystical Beasts member in your family, your Mermaid Race would have conjured the Heaven Reverse Universe, right?”

“Heaven Reverse Universe? Hmm!”

Zi Ji answered with contempt, “The Heaven Reverse Universe is nothing but an insignificant universe. Our ancestors despised the Heaven Reverse Universe. If it were not for the fact that our race once was attacked by several other major races, we would not have to hide in this small Underworld Realm.”

“What?”

Lu Li read something more from Zi Ji’s words. “Are you saying that... your Mermaid Race was not from the Underworld Realm but a more powerful world? Something like the Earth Imperial Universe or the Mage Imperial Universe?”

“The Earth Imperial Universe is nothing!”

Zi Ji rose her head in pride, “Millions of years ago, paleo-beasts, including us, governed all the universes nearby. The Earth Imperial Universe, Divine Imperial Universe, the Mage Imperial Universe, and many others were our territory. Back then, humans could only remain our food and toys. Two million years ago, the most powerful 10 races of us fought against each other and the internal war lasted long. If it were not for that, how could the humans possibly have developed?”

“Ha, ha!”

Zi Ji remembered something else, “Do you know the origin of the ancient races in your Heaven Reverse Universe? They are a result of us paleo-beasts and human females’ mating. Those Asmodians, Feather Race, Barbarian Race, and Titan Race all have impure blood of paleo-beast. In other words, they are... bastards!”

“What!”

Lu Li was stupefied. Never could he imagine that the ancient races that had conquered the Heaven Reverse Universe for hundreds of thousands of years had mixed blood of paleo-beasts and humans...
