Chapter 1060 The High Priest Breaks Through His Defenses
Right now, Lu Li, who is weaving through the crowd of high priests, is simply an elegant and graceful dancer.

With each flash of his figure, blood splattered among the crowd, and the number of high priests began to decrease sharply.

This seemed utterly absurd to outsiders, because he was the Grand Priest who had ruled the universe for over 10 billion years, and even the Dragon God had been defeated by his power and wisdom.

As a milestone in the strength of all martial artists, the Grand Priest is impeccable in terms of both stats and combat skills. The claim that he possesses the strongest Ultra Instinct in history is no exaggeration.

But now, when the high priests face Lu Li, it doesn't seem like they are besieging a human, but rather like they are being hunted by this human.

This scene thrilled Tianhuang and Daoyan, while Wukong and the others kept their eyes glued to Lu Li's figure, not daring to relax their gaze for a moment, hoping to learn a move or two from watching the battle.

For a martial artist with insight, being able to watch the ultimate duel between the strongest can greatly improve their own abilities.

"So this is the combat specialization at the Great Dao level... Tsk, it truly is a qualitative leap."

Tianhuang was also amazed, mainly because he gradually noticed something fishy: the High Priest's movements were still very precise and graceful, but Lu Li was definitely a cut above the rest.

Within the space, to be honest, the High Priest's combat skills are already quite high considering his overall attributes.

Because many explorers who have just entered the ninth rank only have combat skills at the mid or late stage of the Saint Transformation level, and only a few have reached the pinnacle of skill like the High Priest.

The combat specialization at the Great Dao level is something that many mid-stage ninth-tier powerhouses only begin to encounter, and some even only master it in the late ninth-tier stage. Lu Li actually mastered it right after breaking through to the ninth tier, which is simply an anomaly among anomalies.

"But the situation is still a bit bad..."

Dao Yan then poured cold water on the crowd's enthusiasm.

"What do you mean? Isn't Brother Prisoner killing indiscriminately right now?"

Tianhuang asked in bewilderment, and because Daoyan did not communicate with Tianhuang in a special way, Wukong and the others also heard it and all looked at Daoyan.

"That's right, Lu Li is completely unharmed right now and keeps killing high priests. He's really strong."

Goku said, "Besides, the power of the Omni-King doesn't seem to work on Lu Li either. Shouldn't that be Lu Li's advantage?"

"Judging from the current scene, that is indeed the case."

Dao Yan said, "I even believe that Brother Lu could kill all the high priests present and then kill the Omni-King without any problem."

"Any questions?"

Wukong asked innocently.

At this moment, Vegeta, who was standing nearby, crossed his arms and said, "Is it because spacetime rifts are still appearing?"

Dao Yan nodded, his expression solemn. "We don't know the limits of the Grand Priest and the Omni-King, or perhaps they have no limits at all. Theoretically, if we break down each second into the smallest unit that everyone can understand, there will be a pair of Omni-Kings and Grand Priests in each unit. Just the number of Grand Priests and Omni-Kings that might exist in a single second is terrifying."

"Ah? Is that so?"

Wukong still suffered from his lack of knowledge. He previously thought that Lu Li would win as long as he defeated the Grand Priest and the Omni-King who had invaded this universe.

"That's right, Dad."

Gohan also said with a solemn expression, "Since parallel worlds exist, and we can use the Supreme Kai's ring to travel to the future or the past, it means that there is a different us at every point in time. From a philosophical point of view, we are different in the last second and we are different in the next second."

Goku, feeling a bit of a headache, scratched his head. "My head's so itchy, Gohan. So, it seems like we can't kill all of Zeno and the Grand Priest?"

Although Wukong was naive, he didn't think that beings like the Omni-King and the Grand Priest were worth negotiating with. Besides, he couldn't think of any way to make them repent. If he wanted to find a strong opponent to spar with, he would just go to Lu Li.

Therefore, he no longer cared about the life or death of the Grand Priest and the Omni-King; he only wanted to uphold his will to protect his universe and home.

"From the perspective of spacetime theory, that's how it is. More than 10 billion years have passed since the creation of the world. Even if we only divide time into seconds, the Grand Priest that Brother Lu will face is a terrifying number."

Aizen spoke up at this moment. He was standing next to Dao Yan and had heard the conversation between the people in the space just now.

However, compared to the others, he appeared very calm and did not seem worried.

“Brother Aizen, you don’t seem worried about Brother Riku’s situation? If he keeps fighting like this, it will never end, and if the Omni-King turns his guns on this universe, it will be troublesome.”

Dao Yan inquired, explaining that he only used Lu Li's nickname during their private conversations, but when speaking in front of others, he needed to use Lu Li's name from this world.

Clearly, Dao Yan did not believe that Lu Li was the real name of the Demon Prisoner, but thought that it was just a temporary alias that Lu Li used in this world to fit the worldview.

"There's no use worrying. That's just the kind of person Brother Lu is. Besides, the fact that he decided to make such a big fuss means he's already confident he can handle things."

Aizen smiled and said, "I've done what I can. I can't get involved in this battle."

Aizen's smile also concealed a hint of regret. He was still only at the eighth rank and far from his peak, so it was impossible for him to merge with Lu Li.

Even the team's shared attribute skills became ineffective after Lu Li reached the ninth rank. They had to advance to the same rank for the team skills to become effective again.

So now, apart from offering strategic advice to Lu Li, he can't help with combat at all.

The spacetime sealing device has failed, and now he can only watch the battle from here.

"Ah—it hurts!"

At this moment, new Omni-Kings began to cry out in pain on the battlefield, as they too began to obey the High Priest's orders and join the battle, launching close-quarters attacks on Lu Li.

The Omni-King's power to eliminate is indeed very powerful. Even Lu Li in his current state wouldn't dare say he could be unharmed if the Omni-King directly used his power to eliminate him. However, the Omni-King's combat skills are too poor, and Lu Li simply wouldn't give the Omni-King a chance to touch him. He swiftly weaved through the crowd, his sword flashing, and his sharp sword intent sliced ​​through the Omni-Kings one by one, causing many of them to let out cries of agony.

"Impossible!? Lord Zeno is invincible, how could you possibly wound him repeatedly!?"

One of the high priests shouted angrily, his composure faltering.

Because the Omni-King is the greatest masterpiece of their angel race, theoretically his offensive and defensive capabilities are invincible. Even he couldn't break through the Omni-King's defenses. However, Lu Li, whose strength seemed similar to his, was able to easily cut through the Omni-King's body.

"Invincible?"

Lu Li and a high priest passed each other, then Lu Li turned back, his tone disdainful, "Which Omni-King is invincible? Let him stand up and say it himself."

For a moment, all the Omni-Kings fell silent. No one stepped forward to be the first to speak up, simply because the Omni-Kings present had all been injured by Lu Li to varying degrees. Those Omni-Kings who had not been injured were also a little scared to see so many of them groaning in pain.

As it turns out, the Omni-King's personality is His biggest flaw; He's just a paper tiger. Once there's an object that He can't do as He pleases, He'll start throwing a tantrum. And once He discovers that the object can cause Him serious harm, He'll begin to instinctively fear.

Seeing that many of the Omni-Kings had lost all morale, the High Priests were furious. They continued to approach Lu Li, trying to use sheer numbers to block all of Lu Li's escape routes.

But in the next instant, Lu Li opened the gap, and several high priests were killed by Lu Li's domineering blade light.

After breaking through the encirclement, Lu Li turned around, his clothes stained with blood and his hair flying wildly. For a moment, his demonic appearance made no new high priest dare to approach him.

He pointed his blade at the group of high priests, "Given my current state, you actually have a chance to overwhelm me with sheer numbers, but your human wave tactics are ineffective. Do you know why?"

Lu Li's words darkened the faces of the high priests. At that moment, one of the high priests attacked Lu Li from behind, but Lu Li, as if he had expected it, swung his sword horizontally backward. The blade sliced ​​through the high priest's hand and then severed the high priest's head.

There are two key points.

Lu Li ignored the blood rain falling behind him, "There's a mountain separating unarmed and armed, even at our level. Do you still think I'm like the people you used to deal with? Besides, you're all high priests."

The high priests' expressions darkened further upon hearing Lu Li's words, for they were well aware of the difference between armed and unarmed combat.

However, the martial art he cultivates is unarmed combat, and if all else fails, he can use ki in his finishing moves. In his world, this fighting style is quite common.

However, when facing Lu Li, their usual fighting style seemed to show its weaknesses, because in high-speed offensive and defensive battles, Lu Li would not give him the opportunity to use his qi. On the contrary, Lu Li had a mysterious instantaneous qi power, which gave him the initiative in this regard.

Furthermore, they have a large number of people. Some of the high priests can engage Lu Li in close combat, while others can use qigong to kill him.

The problem is, who will go to the front to die? And who will unleash their inner energy from behind?
This brings us to the second point Lu Li mentioned: although there were many of them, they were all 'High Priests'.

Although they come from different points in time and space, they are all equal in spirit and personality. None of them would be willing to sacrifice themselves and become cannon fodder for other high priests to surround Lu Li.

This is why their human wave tactics are not very effective, because some high priests always think of having other high priests risk their lives while they themselves are responsible for reaping Lu Li's lives.

As a result, every time Lu Li was surrounded, some gaps would appear, and Lu Li only needed to focus on one direction to break through the encirclement.

"Hahaha……"

Lu Li looked at the high priests with their ugly expressions and suddenly laughed. He moved the tip of his Demon-Slaying Blade and pointed it at the group of people. "You are just a... rabble."

"I've had enough, High Priest! I order you all to go up and block Lu Li's movements so I can safely eliminate him!"

At this moment, an Omni-King, his skin flushed red, spoke, and even went so far as to 'overstep his authority' and begin issuing orders to all the High Priests.

The other high priests had uncertain expressions. Normally, they would do whatever the Omni-King said, and they would treat even the Omni-King from other timelines with the same respect.

The problem is, in normal times their lives wouldn't be involved, but now they're going to surround Lu Li, which is a life-or-death gamble.

The high priests were hesitant, and the Omni-Kings were afraid of the pain and hesitated to act, but Lu Li wouldn't wait for them to discuss it, and so the massacre began instantly.

Facing a group of Omni-Kings and High Priests, Lu Li actually launched an attack. He unleashed a devastating attack with the force of a thousand armies, his fierce blade light traversing the starry sky of the Thirteenth Universe, even severing some newly opened spacetime tunnels.

In an instant, dozens of high priests were cut in two by Lu Li's blade. With the combined bursts of the Soul Eater and the Demonic Fiend, the blade intent erupted a second time, violently strangling these high priests before they could even receive treatment.

"No, it's no longer a matter of which timeline it comes from. If we don't kill Lu Li, all of us in every timeline of this world will be in danger."

A high priest stepped forward and said, "Everyone, think it through. As long as 'us' are alive and continue to rule this world, that is victory. Lu Li, on the other hand, is all alone!"

Clearly, while the high priests were selfish, they were indeed formidable figures.

There was a reason he was able to defeat the Dragon God: he not only possessed immense strength but also a ruthless nature, a trait he applied to himself in crucial moments.

After the high priest gave his speech, the group of high priests finally began to work together to deal with Lu Li, and their coordination instantly became much stronger.

Despite the ongoing siege and the continued fall of Omni-King and High Priest, they felt that their forces were beginning to force Lu Li into a passive defensive posture. They believed that if this continued and they paid a certain price, they could eliminate the abnormal cancer within Lu Li's world.

Those watching from afar, including Wukong, couldn't help but clench their fists, feeling anxious for Lu Li.

"It'll be quick, don't let your guard down. Lords, don't be childish now. Do you want to suffer that pain again if you don't kill Lu Li?! Begging for mercy is useless; he'll torture you all to death!"

Even during the battle, the high priests were still trying to persuade the Omni-King. At this point, they stopped pretending and decided to directly threaten him instead of trying to coax him with kind words, letting fear drive them to kill.

Lu Li had no intention of sowing discord between the Omni-King and the High Priest. At this point, all he needed to do was say something like, "Omni-King, don't do anything, I'll let you off the hook afterward," which could have caused a large-scale strike by the Omni-King. But Lu Li simply didn't do that.
