463: Chapter 463 Connecting to the Next Level

Lu Li stood at the edge of the Formation, his green robes flapping loudly in the howling wind.

He narrowed his eyes, looking at the energy storm before him—one capable of shredding ordinary Profound Immortals and even Half-step Golden Immortals to pieces—and couldn't help but curl his lips, a look of impatience appearing on his face.

"Find the Gate of Life? The Five Elements are circulating so fast, and I have to deduce the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces; it's simply too much trouble. Father often says, if a problem can be solved with power, don't waste brain cells on it."

"Great Five Elements Chaos Art!"

Instead of deducing the Gate of Life like other challengers, he strode directly into the very center of the Five Elements Killing Formation. At the core of the most violent and dangerous energy vortex, he actually sat down cross-legged!

His hands quickly formed ancient and mysterious seals before his chest, and a deep, grayish luster flickered in the depths of his eyes.

"Hum—"

A terrifying force of Chaos, ancient, vast, encompassing all things yet assimilating everything, erupted from within him like a volcano that had slumbered for billions of years! This power had no attribute, yet it stood above all attributes.

While this Five Elements Killing Formation was undeniably exquisite and possessed monstrous power, at its core, all things in heaven and earth, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, were all evolved and differentiated from the most primitive Chaos Qi.

Before the Great Five Elements Chaos Art and Lu Li's one-of-a-kind "Innate Chaos Body," these seemingly violent, world-destroying Five Elements energies were like rebellious children who had run away from home for years, suddenly encountering their stern and majestic ancestral Origin!

"Absorb for me!"

Lu Li threw his arms wide and let out a long roar toward the sky. In an instant, his entire being seemed to transform into a humanoid black hole in the Universe.

Not only did he not seek the so-called Gate of Life, but he opened all 108,000 pores on his body, madly and actively forcing the surrounding Five Elements killing power, originally meant to kill, into his own body!

"Rumble—!"

Seemingly sensing that the Origin of the Formation was draining away, this massive Five Elements Killing Formation began to tremble and struggle violently, emitting bursts of mournful cries.

The originally orderly cycle of mutual generation and restriction was completely disrupted. Sword beams, poisonous vines, black water, karmic fire, and demonic mountains smashed toward Lu Li like madmen, attempting to destroy this madman who dared to devour the Formation.

However, it was all in vain. Under the suppression of the Innate Chaos Body and the assimilation of the Great Five Elements Chaos Art, the moment the violent energy touched Lu Li's body, it was instantly tamed, stripped of its purest Five Elements Origin, and turned into refined cultivation that flowed into his Dantian.

In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the Five Elements Killing Formation, which had originally blotted out the sky and possessed a menacing Aura, saw its energy grow thinner and its operation increasingly sluggish.

Finally, accompanied by a crisp sound like shattering glass, the entire great Formation collapsed on the spot because its energy had been drained dry! The howling wind dispersed, and everything returned to calm.

"Fifth level, force... forcibly cleared..."

In mid-air, a mechanical voice that had always been cold and ruthless actually stuttered for the first time, even faintly carrying a hint of incredulous electromagnetic interference.

Clearly, when the creator of the Bronze Immortal Palace designed this Formation, they never dreamed that there would be such a freak in later generations who would not only refuse to find the Gate of Life but would instead swallow the entire Killing Formation as a tonic pill.

"Reward: A cluster of Innate Five Elements Essence."

A dense cluster of essence, radiating red, yellow, blue, white, and black five-colored light, as if containing the mysteries of the birth of a Small World, drifted down slowly.

Lu Li licked his lips, unceremoniously opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing it directly into his belly.

Feeling an extremely warm force coursing through his Meridians, he stretched comfortably, feeling that his control over the Five Elements Law within his body was even more perfect and compliant, bringing him one step closer to a Breakthrough.

...

Pushing open the sixth door, the scene before him made Lu Li raise an eyebrow once again.

This was a bizarre corridor that seemed to have no end, its surrounding walls constantly twisting and changing like fluid.

Here, vision and perception were completely subverted. Lu Li clearly saw a straight path ahead, but when his Divine Sense probed it, he discovered it was a folded spatial fault; the flow here was also chaotic, with time passing as fast as lightning one second, and in the blink of an eye, it felt as if a hundred years had passed.

The next second, time would be like solidified amber, making even breathing extremely difficult.

Space was even more like a shattered kaleidoscope; taking one step forward might actually result in being teleported ten thousand miles away, or even back to the starting point.

"Sixth level trial: Corridor of Time and Space. Here, chaotic time and space Laws are intertwined. You must find the correct exit within the time it takes to burn an incense stick to clear the level. Otherwise, you will be forever lost in the turbulence of time and space, until your Lifespan is exhausted and you turn into dry bones."

Lu Li stood at the entrance of the corridor, looking at the twisted time and space before him—a bizarre sight capable of causing most Cultivators to go insane on the spot—yet a confident smile slowly curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Toying with time and space? This is the Domain my father is best at. Having been influenced by him since childhood, do you really think you can trap me?"

"Xing Character Secret!"

With a thought from Lu Li, brilliant golden light erupted from beneath his feet.

Golden runes representing the ultimate Profound Truth of speed and space swirled around his ankles. At this moment, his figure became illusory, as if drifting outside this world, untainted by even a shred of Karma.

Facing the constantly changing false scenes and highly deceptive spatial traps around him, he didn't even spare them a glance.

He closed his eyes directly, completely abandoning his physical vision and ordinary Divine Sense perception.

Relying on his unique and peerless "Innate Chaos Body," which was sensitive to the Laws of heaven and earth to the extreme, he calmly sensed that single, most original, and faintest correct Law node amidst the tangled spatial and temporal rifts around him.

One step, two steps...

Lu Li's movement technique was elegant to the extreme; he was like a fish swimming leisurely in the deep sea amidst howling winds, giant waves, and surging undercurrents, moving freely through the rifts of time and space.

He would sometimes dash forward, sometimes retreat in a bizarre manner, and sometimes spin in a circle on the spot.

The deadly traps that could cause ordinary Profound Immortals to instantly lose their way or even be sliced into pieces by spatial rifts were rendered useless before his artistic footsteps.

Only half the time it takes to burn an incense stick passed before the twisted and changing scene ahead suddenly cleared, and an ancient, heavy bronze door appeared at the end of his line of sight.

Lu Li brushed non-existent dust from his hem, took a light step forward, walked out of this terrifying corridor of time and space, and stood steadily in front of the seventh door.

"Sixth level, cleared."

"Reward: A wisp of the Origin of the Law of Space."

In the Void Realm, a tiny, extremely bright thread of Law, resembling a silvery swimming Dragon, drifted down slowly and merged directly into Lu Li's Sea of Consciousness.
