Far away from Nie Li and his group were some people standing at the edge of the Void Illusionary Divine Palaceâs barrier, attempting to break in.
However, most of them couldnât accomplish it.
This entire mountain range, and surrounding forest, is a part of the Thousand Illusionary Array; entering isnât an easy feat.
Experts from both the human and demon clans glared at each other, like tigers stalking their prey. However, it was clear that none of them actually wanted to start a fight; they all maintained a certain distance from each other.
It was obvious that no one would benefit from a battle. In fact, they might even lose their chance to enter the Void Illusionary Divine Palace. They only had ten days to enter the palace; if no one could accomplish it, then the task would be even harder next time.
Nie Li landed outside the Void Illusionary Divine Palaceâs barrier, and observed the rainbow rays of light that fluctuated off of it. It was extremely magnificent.
Each color of the rainbow was a part of the Thousand Illusionary Array.
There were tens of thousands of people gathered outside the Thousand Illusionary Array. None of them could enter.
Wu Yazi looked at Nie Li and asked, âHow are we going to get in?â
Nie Li turned to Wu Yazi and explained, âItâs still not time yet. The breach in the Thousand Illusionary Array only appears at noon, which is two hours from now.â
âOh.â Wu Yazi nodded. He could only listen to Nie Li. Wu Yazi didnât know if Nie Li was telling the truth, but he had a feeling that Nie Li definitely knew how to find the entrance to the Thousand Illusionary Array.
Nie Li continued refining the demon blood within his body.
Xiao Yu saw Nie Li cultivating, so she copied him.
At a location far from the Void Illusionary Divine Palace
A part of over thirty Heavenly Axis Realm experts reached the border of the Void Illusionary Divine Palace. The one leading them was Long Tianming.
He stood outside, glaring at the the Void Illusionary Palace.
One of Long Tianmingâs attendants, who wore golden armour, cupped his hands. âYoung Master, trying to break into the Thousand Illusionar Array will be extremely difficult. Not only that, there are a lot of demon clan experts in the area. Why would you wish to come, personally?â
âTime and tide wait for no man on the path of cultivation. This Void Illusionary Divine Palace was left behind by a supreme expert. Who knows if they mightâve left behind some worthy inheritance inside? As long as thereâs a chance, Iâll give it a try.â Long Tianming stepped forward and condensed his energy. By now, heâd already reached the Heavenly Axis Realm.
Heâd also integrated with a Dragon Bloodline God Level demon spirit; therefore, he was much stronger than an ordinary Heavenly Axis Realm expert.
A 1-stage Heavenly Axis Realm expert whoâd integrated with a Dragon Bloodline God Level demon spirit could easily face a 9-stage Heavenly Axis Realm expert, without a problem. This is the true power of a Dragon Bloodline God Level demon spirit!
Long Tianming used his senses to try and detect the location of the Thousand Illusionary Arrayâs entrance; however, he remained in that silent state, with his brows knitted together.
The others in his party noticed that heâd gone silent, so they respectfully stood to the side, not daring to speak.
From a certain distance, a group of demon clan experts had noticed Long Tianmingâs party. However, they didnât dare to provoke Long Tianming; after all, they had over thirty Heavenly Axis Realm experts on their side. No one would dare provoke them, unless they were a Dao of the Dragon Realm expert.
The crowd around the Thousand Illusionary Array gradually swelled. The number of small conflicts between the demon and human clans also increased and a battle would occasionally happen.
Nie Li had been cultivating for a while. Finally, he rose to his feet and began walking arounding the edge of the Thousand Illusionary Array as he carefully observed it.
Wu Yazi immediately followed behind him.
Nie Li glanced back at Wu Yazi and complained, âWhy are you following me so closely?â
This guy wasnât leaving an inch of space between them.
Wu Yazi chuckled and replied, âYouâre only at the Heavenly Fate Realm. There are a lot of Heavenly Axis Realms in the area. Iâm worried that you might run into some trouble!â
âRest assured. Iâll definitely find the entrance of the Void Illusionary Divine Palace for you. But Iâll remind you that we have a deal. Weâre going to split the treasures fifty-fifty! Furthermore, I get first pick!â said Nie Li.
âNo problem!â Wu Yazi agreed without the slightest hesitation, since it was all the same to him, anyways. Once they exited the Void Illusionary Divine Palace, heâd kill both Nie Li and Xiao Yu. He could afford to let Nie Li choose first.
The three of them walked on.
âNie Li, look over there!â Xiao Yu said as she pointed into the distance.
Nie Li followed Xiao Yuâs direction and saw Long Tianming and his subordinates. They seemed to be busy with something over there.
Nie Li didnât have any conflicts with Long Tianming; however, his intuition told him that Long Tianming definitely wasnât a good guy. Therefore, Nie Li didnât have a good impression of him, not in the slightest.
Nie Li pondered for a brief moment, until an idea lit up his mind.
Since he and Xiao Yu werenât in their human forms, Long Tianming wouldnât recognise them, even if they stood in his way.
Nie Li intentionally moved closer to Long Tianming and his group, while pretending to examine the Thousand Illusionary Array.
âThe aura from this Thousand Illusionary Array is growing stronger. Thereâs probably an entrance nearby!â Nie Li excitedly claimed as he quickened his steps and moved closer towards Long Tianming and his group.
âWait! Those guys are all Heavenly Axis Realm experts!â Wu Yazi called out to stop him.
Nie Li furrowed his brows for a moment, looked at Wu Yazi, and ask, âWhat? Youâre saying you canât beat them?â
The corner of Wu Yaziâs mouth twitched as he said, âThat hilarious! Thereâs no way I canât beat them! I could flip all of them, just by myself!â
âWell then, thereâs nothing wrong!â Nie Li said casually.
Wu Yazi furrowed his brows and said, âBut they still have over thirty Heavenly Axis Realm experts on their side. If a fight does break out, then trouble is unavoidable!â
âFine then. Just forget about it. Those guys are just gathered there, not moving at all. Theyâve probably found the entrance. If they manage to get in first, then all the good stuff might fall in their hands!â Nie Li said with feigned indifference as he turned back.
Wu Yazi thought to himself, âIf the entrance really was close to them, then wouldnât he be losing by backing off like this?â
In his point of view, those thirty-something Heavenly Axis Realms might pose a little trouble, but shouldnât be too hard to deal with.
Wu Yazi considered Nie Liâs words, then said, âYou keep searching. If you can find the entrance, then everythingâs good. Weâll chase them away, if thereâs really no other way in. If theyâre not tactful, then Iâll take actions. After all, theyâre just humans!â
An almost unnoticeable smile showed at the corner of Nie Liâs mouth when he heard that. He continued moving towards Long Tianmingâs party.
The three of them approached Long Tianming and his group, but a golden-armoured Heavenly Axis Realm expert suddenly blocked their way. He furiously glared at them and said, âDemon clan trash! Get lost! If you take another step forward, then donât blame me for taking action!â
This man was one of Long Tianmingâs underlings, and was in charge of guarding the area. Heâd shouted at Nie Liâs group when he saw them approach.
He could tell that Nie Li and Xiao Yu were only at the Heavenly Fate Realm. He couldnât discern Wu Yaziâs cultivation, but what kind of expert would be with two Heavenly Fate Realms?
Wu Yaziâs face turned black at the underlingâs words.
âWho are you calling trash?!â Wu Yazi coldly glared at the Heavenly Axis Realm expert.
