Chapter 859: Entering the Xuluo World

If not for Red Comet, he, Li Zongming, wouldn\'t have been able to survive his fight against the xuluo lords. If Red Comet hadn\'t fought off Luohou, Luohou and Fuzhang would have attacked Zhang Lie simultaneously. Even if they couldn\'t kill Zhang Lie, they would have slowed him down enough that Li Zongming would be in danger of dying to Qiantuo. He was a recently ascended superior king, and he didn\'t have the reserves to fend off a great xuluo lord for extended periods of time.

Li Zongming continued to infuse the world\'s energy into Red Comet\'s body. "This fifth-level beast has contributed greatly to the survival of the Zongming world, and I won\'t let anything happen to it! The sacrifice of its body and life will be repaid multiple times over, this I swear."

Red Comet hadn\'t done so in order to protect the Zongming world—rather, it was just listening to Zhang Lie\'s orders.

As the six-colored rainbow light spread throughout its body, Red Comet\'s wounds healed and began to glow in rainbow light. After absorbing the world\'s energy from Li Zongming, and after having survived a fight to the death, Red Comet\'s strength would increase by leaps and bounds, and he might even reach a new threshold of being.

Zhang Lie instructed, "Open the wormhole. I\'ll head off immediately."

Li Zongming waved his hand with a frown of concentration. The wormhole from which the xuluo had emerged slowly began to open up, revealing the blood-colored heaven and sea of the xuluo world.

Zhang Lie stepped forth on his campaign.

Back in the xuluo world, Vemacitrin was grousing at Feitian. "Forefather, what are you doing? I\'m accomplishing the task you assigned me—picking out thirty million xuluo warriors among the population! This is a massive undertaking, and I need time to carry it out."

Vemacitrin was in the middle of his selection when Feitian suddenly summoned him back for an audience.

Feitian slowly announced, "I have some bad news. Fuzhang and the others are dead."

"What?!"

Vemacitrin thought he had to have misheard.

Feitian repeated, "The xuluo forces were killed to the last before they were able to invade the world!"

Vemacitrin\'s eyes grew wide. "That\'s impossible! Fuzhang and the others are all xuluo lords, and Fuzhang himself was from the first generation of lords! Even the king of the death spirits was unable to kill him, so how could he have perished in a nameless world?"

Feitian replied, "This is the truth, unbelievable as it may be. I cannot sense Fuzhang or the other two any longer."

Vemacitrin suggested, "They might have encountered some accident or entered a special territory that could block your senses. At any rate, I won\'t believe that an invasion force consisting of three xuluo lords and thirty million xuluo could be wiped out by a newly evolved superior world!"

After all, this was the largest invasion force they had sent out in years.

Feitian continued, "The power I left on the xuluo lords\' bodies allowed me to sense their conditions to some extent. I am certain that they\'ve all been killed."

Vemacitrin couldn\'t help but ask, "Forefather, if you could sense their conditions, why didn\'t you save them?"

"Far easier said than done."

By the time Feitian sensed that the three xuluo lords were in danger, it was already too late.

"The most important thing to do now is to make sure that we xuluo can survive the upcoming crisis."

Vemacitrin snorted. "You think the opponent will be so daring as to invade the xuluo world? They\'re just asking to die!"

Feitian frowned. "Do not underestimate our opponent\'s ignorance and foolishness, nor their strength. For three xuluo lords to be slain one after the other—this is a foe we have to pay attention to."

Vemacitrin frowned. "Forefather, aren\'t you a little too worried? I\'d rather that they invade the xuluo world more quickly so I can kill them all."

Vemacitrin\'s perspective was very different from Feitian\'s.

The xuluo world belonged to the xuluo, and they had reserves of energy that had been steadily collected over millennia. Any invaders would swiftly die.

Vemacitrin continued, "I\'ll take this opportunity to avenge the other three lords."

Rationally, Feitian knew that no lifeform would be able to do any damage to the xuluo world while he, Feitian, remained in power.

Even so, Feitian felt a budding sense of unease. He didn\'t believe in a sixth sense or the like, but the pinnacle of heaven\'s might allowed him to sense the connections of fate that lay between objects.

In some sense, Feitian could predict the world\'s future. What he saw wasn\'t an unknown opponent, but rather the karmic retribution that was about to befall the xuluo world.

In order to strengthen their homeworld, the xuluo had attacked any newly evolved superior worlds in their vicinity and slaughtered huge quantities of life. The number of casualties under the xuluo invasions would fill up a superior world and more—and would eventually result in a karmic backlash as a tribulation to the xuluo.

Feitian could sense that their enemies were drawing near.

Vemacitrin suggested, "Forefather, if you\'re so worried, why not dispatch my brother? If I\'m working with him, I\'m sure we\'ll be able to deal with this enemy easily—even if he\'s managed to kill three xuluo lords in succession!"

Feitian mulled the suggestion over.

Vemacitrin whined, "Forefather, my brother\'s been trapped for long enough!"

"I\'m worried that if I release your brother, it\'ll incite a larger disaster."

Vemacitrin asked, "Forefather, in that case, may I ask how long you intend to trap my brother underground? For eternity?"

"I\'m unable to control him, and I don\'t know what sort of disaster he would unleash as a result."

Vemacitrin sighed. "In that case, I\'ll start preparing for battle, then."

.

After a long pause, Feitian finally said, "If the enemies are too difficult to handle, I\'ll consider releasing Potian."

Zhang Lie passed through the long, winding wormhole before finally arriving at the xuluo world, with a blood-colored sky and a blood-colored sea. The air carried the stench of blood, and a palace made of bone was visible near the horizon. This was the first time that Zhang Lie had been to the xuluo world; or, more accurately, the first time he had had the opportunity to go to one.

Even so, Zhang Lie didn\'t feel at all pleased or interested by the idea. Instead, he felt visceral disgust. The moment he entered the xuluo world, the wormhole behind him was sealed shut. From the sea of blood beneath him, he sensed a burgeoning killing intent...
