The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 313: Sudden Change

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li was still cultivating. He had no idea what had happened.

He was stuck again, and he hadn’t figure out how to move. He had now fully understood the process of releasing the Mirror Image Profound Meaning. He had deliberated about every step and every detail, but the thing was, he could not release the skill.

He had understood all the “sword moves” and just wanted to learn the moves, not the spirit contained within. However, he couldn’t even do that.

It bothered him. He felt he was in a dead end with no way out no matter what he tried, just like the hall on the Wicked Sorcery Mountain. There were so many treasures inside, but there just was no door for Lu Li to go in.

He thought about it and decided to have a rest first. He didn’t leave the cultivation room, though. Lu Li took out the Coffin of the Dragon King in there, trying to see if he could get that open and take the treasures out.

The cultivation room was big enough for the Coffin of the Dragon King, unlike Lu Li’s cabin, which was too small.

“Buzzing~”

The Coffin of the Dragon King was placed in the room. Without Lu Li pouring Xuan Energy in, the coffin still glared in a golden color. The patterns on the coffin were elegant and yet simple at the same time.

Lu Li circled around the coffin for a bit and stared on the divine weapon on the coffin. He jumped onto the coffin, grabbed the divine weapon and made an effort to get it out.

However, the divine weapon showed no signs of being nudged. Lu Li couldn’t even move it for one bit as if the divine weapon was integrated with the coffin.

Lu Li gave it some thoughts. He poured some Xuan Energy and controlled the runes to move in a random way, wandering if somehow he could trigger some Inhibition Formation to open the Coffin of the Dragon King.

Two hours had passed, but the coffin made no signs of being moved. Lu Li sat down with his legs crossed again. He concentrated on the silver dragon mark, hoping it could impart some more fragments of the demon’s memory.

Nothing happened, and no information was passed on. Lu Li had to go back to controlling the runes and patterns to move.

One day went by…

Lu Li gave up. He could not open the Coffin of the Dragon King now. This must be dealt with later.

He went back to cultivation of the skill. People in cultivation would ignore the passage of time. He was obsessed with cultivation, so he had forgotten all about the outside world. Another four or five days passed.

“Boom~”

While he was sitting with his legs crossed, Lu Li suddenly felt he was hanging in the air. He suddenly opened his eyes and sensed the Iron-armored Ship was trembling and descending.

“What?”

The first idea sprang to Lu Li’s mind was that the Iron-armored Ship was under attack. The ship was smashed so it was falling down.

He sprang to his feet and rushed to the cabin door. As soon as he moved, he realized something was wrong. His speed was reduced by more than 10 times and he felt some indiscernible powerful force had enveloped him.

He rushed out. People were panicking. Many men rushed out from the cabins, scared.

“Young Master.”

Yu Huashen and Ming Yu came over to Lu Li. Little White was brought out as well. The three of them stood on the deck while glancing to all sides.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”

More people came out from their cabins. The deck was crowded. The escorts of the Pavilion of Delicacy also came out to the deck, looking frightened.

The ship was falling fast. People on the ship could even see the mountains underneath him. Lu Li looked down, greatly shocked.

Purple steam came out from the mountains, which tumbled and rolled over. There seemed to be some glow in the steam. The mountains could only be faintly seen in the steam, and it made people feel strange and mysterious, as if there were huge beasts hiding within the steam.

“No need to panic. This is just an increase in gravity.”

An old voice came. A purple-haired old man stood on the second floor with Jiang Qiling and two other powerful elder warriors with him.

The purple-haired old man frowned. He glanced over and said, “I think there is a sudden change in gravity because of the chaos in the Gargoyle Mountain. I am Jiang Hao. Please trust me. I can lead you out of here to safety.”

“Jiang Hao!”

The name itself was a reassurance. The Pavilion of Delicacy was actually formed by many families, among which the most powerful was the Jiang Family, one of the twelve Royal Families. Such powerful warriors were here. Theoretically speaking, nothing would go wrong.

“Yu Huashen, can you fly?”

Lu Li asked in a low voice. Yu Huashen released his Beads of Life and enlarged it. He tried to jump onto it, only to find his Beads of Life was falling as well…

“The gravity here is freaky.”

Yu Huashen said. A glint of coldness appeared in his eyes. “This gravity is changing for each individual person according to their respective realms. The more powerful a person is, the more gravity there is. My speed is slowed down by more than 100 times.”

Ming Yu nodded in consent. He had already felt it when he was rushing towards Lu Li. Lu Li quickly thought about it. He was wondering whether someone was trying to kill him or it was the people of the Pavilion of Delicacy. Perhaps it was also just pure bad luck and this was just an accident.

“Whoosh~”

The Iron-armored Ship was spinning out of control and falling down quickly. It was now inside the purple steam, and vision was obstructed.

The Iron-armored Ship was falling faster and faster. Jiang Hao, the purple-haired old man, said, “Attention. Pick up the old and the children. Prepare to jump off at any time now.”

Yu Huashen grabbed Lu Li. More powerful warriors grabbed those that were not. Jiang Hao hugged Jiang Qiling in his arms.

“Jump!”

Right when the Iron-armored Ship was about to smash into the ground, Jiang Hao shouted. The shield over the Iron-armored Ship was closed for people to jump off the ship. Ming Yu and Yu Huashen took Lu Li and rushed to the distance.

“Boom~”

The castle-like Iron-armored Ship smashed into the mountains. It fell apart, and scraps of the ship flew all around. With that came a huge explosion sound, resounding among the mountains.

“Ah~”

A lot of people were in pain. Some young ladies and several old people were not strong enough. They were humming in pain since they had suffered some injuries.

“Where are we?”

Lu Li was unhurt since he was protected by Ming Yu and Yu Huashen. He wouldn’t be hurt even if he were to jump by himself. He was relieved to find no Xuan Beasts or immediate sources of dangers around.

They were in the mountains in the wild, and there wasn’t much vegetation. The mountains were covered in purple stones. The place was as deserted as gobi. The only thing out of ordinary here was the purple steam, which greatly impaired the visibility. People could only see as far as less than a mile.

“The Gargoyle Mountain!”

Yu Huashen spoke without giving further explanation. The Gargoyle Mountain was famous, but Yu Huashen didn’t know about the details.

“Can you fly?”

Lu Li asked again. Yu Huashen released his Beads of Life to have a try. He shook his head and said, “The gravity is too powerful. I can only fly up by several feet and I cannot go far.”

People were complaining loudly. There were more than 1000 passengers on the Iron-armored Ship, and they were unhappy to run into such an accident. Also, with the Iron-armored Ship destroyed, how would they go on?

“Please relax!”

Jiang Hao’s powerful voice came up. “Even though the Iron-armored Ship is destroyed, our family will be informed presently. Soon, they will send over more warriors and Iron-armored Ships. This is the Gargoyle Mountain so it is quite dangerous. Do not wander off. Please gather around in one place. I will have some people to build you camps and give you food. Please be patient. The Pavilion of Delicacy will give you all a satisfactory solution.”

With that said, the complaining died down. Several steward started to build camps with the escorts so that the passengers could settle down.

“Woo, woo~”

Right at that moment, there came a shrill noise from the distance. It was getting louder and louder. Lu Li’s expressions changed as soon as the noise reached his ears. He hugged his head, squatted and hummed in pain.

“Attacks on the soul!”

Yu Huashen and Ming Yu looked at each other. They thought there were incoming attacks.
