Chapter 1165 The Storm Sweeping Through the Boundary Sea

Faced with Lu Li's question, Crimson Taboo remained silent for a moment before whispering.

“My Lord says that you remind Him of someone, and He believes that you will surely reach the highest realm, and that it is not the end.”

The butler translated.

"Who?"

Lu Li asked curiously.

However, Crimson Taboo did not answer, as if there was some taboo surrounding it.

"Alright, I agree to this. If I am able to do so in the future, I will definitely allow you to divide the family property peacefully."

Lu Li said, "Of course, the premise is peace. After all, although the Primordial God Realm is unethical in this matter, I am not their enemy and will not help to slaughter the taboos of the Primordial God Realm."

Lu Li explained the situation clearly first, and then saw how the other party would respond.

Crimson Taboo clearly had no intention of waging war against the primordial gods, and readily agreed. After all, if He were truly prepared to fight head-on, would He, as the Taboo who wielded the concept of fear, possibly be a benevolent being?
To put it bluntly, He may not necessarily care about the creatures in the inner world, nor will He be intimidated by the taboos outside; He is simply following a promise He made to a certain predecessor.

After the matter was settled, the Crimson King took away Lu Li's Evil God Mask and had his steward relay that Lu Li needed to wait for Him for seven years.

During these seven years, Lu Li wasn't just waiting idly; he had to enter a crimson blood pool in the inner world to establish a new connection with the Masked Evil God.

However, after entering the blood pool, Lu Li found that he could not feel the connection with the Evil God Mask. The butler only said that the blood pool could improve his physique and make it easier for him to adapt to the reborn Evil God Mask.

Lu Li comprehended the secrets within the blood pool and discovered that there were indeed many unique and profound laws here, so he patiently waited.

In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed.

On this day, the butler found Lu Li and woke him up from his seclusion.

“Mr. Lu, your evil god mask is ready.”

The butler said, and there he was holding a tray with the Mask of Evil God on it.

The butler moved with extreme care and respect, as if he were carrying not a piece of equipment, but a person of great dignity.

Lu Li was initially surprised, but after he stepped out of the blood pool and came into direct contact with the mask of the evil god, he was astonished to find that the energy of this equipment was terrifyingly strong.

"This……"

Lu Li opened his mouth in surprise, because the moment he touched the mask of the evil god, he discovered that the equipment had actually been upgraded to the Origin level.

Moreover, in that fleeting glimpse, he saw the description of the End Space, which shocked him even more.

"Senior Crimson..."

Lu Li was at a loss for words, because he discovered that the current mask of the evil god housed an unparalleled taboo.

The Crimson Forbidden One's method of repairing this equipment was to refine himself into it, transforming into a weapon spirit!
"This is the choice of our Lord. I hope that when Mr. Lu attains enlightenment in the future, he will not forget his promise to our Lord."

The butler said solemnly, "I also know that Mr. Lu is determined to comprehend all external things and transform them into his own power. If Mr. Lu can succeed, our master can return."

Lu Li never expected it to turn out this way. He only wanted to ask the other party for a small favor, but in the end, the Crimson Forbidden One actually refined itself into it.

For a moment, he felt that the Mask of Evil God in his hand was extremely important. This was different from Scarlett's situation. This was an unparalleled taboo who had already attained enlightenment and still possessed one of the primal emotions of living beings: fear.

Lu Li has not yet attained the forbidden position, so what merit or ability does he have?

Overwhelmed with emotion, Lu Li could only bow and say, "I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

He knew that the conflict between the Inner World and the Primordial God Realm was probably deeper than he had imagined; otherwise, Crimson Taboo wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to break the deadlock.

"When Mr. Lu goes up, just say that our master has granted your wish. For the time being, it is best not to reveal that our master is no longer in the inner world."

The butler cautioned him, fearing that if the higher-ups knew the inner world was no longer under the control of the taboo, their actions would become even more brazen.

"I understand, please don't worry."

Lu Li said solemnly.

But life is unpredictable. Just as he was talking with the butler and preparing to take his leave, the inner world suddenly trembled.

The butler's expression also showed surprise, because the Inner World was the innermost layer of the Primordial God Realm, and it should be the least likely place to be impacted. Even if there was a forbidden war outside, this place should be safe.

Only an event of the scale from 100 million years ago could possibly shake the underworld.

Lu Li also sensed something was wrong, so without saying a word, he flashed out of the barrier of the inner world, and the butler followed, clearing a path for Lu Li.

After the man and the monster went up, they saw that the sky of the primordial god realm was cracking, clearly indicating that it had suffered an extremely serious impact.

One by one, supreme experts with powerful auras ascended into the sky. Among them was a powerful figure whom Lu Li had seen before. That Light and Dark Forbidden One raised his hand and used chains to stabilize the sky, bringing stability to the Primordial God Realm.

"Has it been invaded by foreign enemies!?"

someone exclaimed.

A forbidden figure stepped out of the sky, his face revealing a look of terror—an expression not befitting a supreme being.

Others found the taboo strange and went to investigate, only to be horrified by what they found.

Even Lu Li, who followed to investigate, saw a massive energy wave washing over everything within the Sea of ​​Worlds. This meant that the Primordial God Realm was too solid, and the energy tide had only caused some tremors.

But too many worlds were swept away by this giant wave, turned into dust, and vanished.

This is a colossal wave on a macroscopic scale within the ocean of the world, its energy so powerful that even the Supreme Taboo must be wary of it. The nature of its power is unknown, but Lu Li felt it was comparable to the crushing power of the Great World he had witnessed that day.

The impact of this is far-reaching; anything that stands in its way will be crushed. It is a catastrophe that threatens to destroy the heavens.

In an instant, one could see that the entire World Ocean was ablaze with light, as powerful beings emerged, seeking to protect their respective worlds.

Lu Li witnessed that even peak True Self Realm experts were instantly vaporized upon touching this wave of power, leaving no trace of their bodies. Only worlds with supreme taboos could use profound concepts to resist it to some extent, barely ensuring the survival of their own world.

The tide showed no sign of abating, and no one knew the origin or cause of this disaster, but the world's ocean seemed poised to be destroyed by this unpredictable catastrophe.

"Such an energy tide..."

The face of the one associated with the Light and Dark Taboo was terrifyingly gloomy, as were the faces of the other taboos; they were clearly recalling some ancient events.

Yes, a power surge of this magnitude could not possibly be caused by a taboo. This widespread and destructive fluctuation reminded them of only one thing.

That's the feeling of the shockwave that surged towards the World Sea when two supreme beings clashed outside the Great Wall of Origin.

For a moment, many taboos were terrified, wondering if there really was an invincible enemy who had already invaded the World Sea.

The Great Wall of Origin of the present era has long been abandoned and has not been repaired with resources for many years. Moreover, this wave did not come from the other side of the World Ocean at all, but seemed to have risen directly within the World Ocean, and there was nowhere to stop it.

Does this mean the world's oceans are about to be destroyed?

Just as many forbidden powerhouses wavered and each used their magic to try to stop the tide, a world tree reaching to the heavens appeared deep within the World Sea.

Immediately afterwards, a figure took a step forward, his unparalleled soul intent traversing half of the world's sea, while simultaneously throwing a punch forward.

With the same overwhelming force, the two forces collided, and in an instant, countless worlds evaporated in the central collision area. But under this unparalleled punch, the momentum of the tide was finally stopped.

Standing in the center of the world's ocean, Xue Zhiyu let out a trickle of blood from the corner of her mouth, which disappeared after a moment. Her gaze was terrifyingly gloomy as she looked up at the sky, her delicate brows furrowed.

Many forbidden experts within the Boundary Sea breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this scene, while those experts in the distance who had not yet been affected, who had been prepared to fight to the death, looked at that figure with gratitude.

The Primordial God Realm where Lu Li and the others were located was very far away, so they couldn't see the person's face clearly, but Lu Li roughly knew who had made the move, and he was also shocked.

Not only were they amazed that Grandma Xue could fight against a storm that could destroy the world's oceans, but they were also shocked by the storm's power.

Where did this destructive storm come from?

Lu Li recalled his conversation with Grandma Xue and looked up, wondering if something had gone wrong in the battle on the River of Time.
According to Grandma Xue, since her own son had defeated the demon god within her, he should also be a tenth-level combatant, and one of the best among them.

This is due to Lu Li's simple-minded thinking. After all, there were two tenth-level beings in the most ancient era. The tenth-level being in space was defeated by the demon god in his body, and the demon god in his body was defeated by that senior. So shouldn't he be the best?

Thinking about the issue from this perspective, Lu Li had never actually considered that the Sea of ​​the World would suddenly fall, and inexplicably felt that the senior was quite reliable.

But now he suddenly realized something. In the past few years, he had often chatted with the Crimson Butler and asked about the siege of the Primordial God Realm. He noticed that the shadow that was targeting him on the Divine Martial Continent was humanoid.

The shadow that blocked the primordial realm of gods was... non-human.

In other words, in the worst-case scenario, there is not only one tenth-tier enemy from the future in the river of time!
That venerable senior might have to fight against two, or even three, tenth-level opponents all by himself!

Because Longsheqilu described the shadows they had seen back then, which were blurry and somewhat different from the shadows they had seen themselves.

It is said that two fists can't beat four hands. If that senior were to fight against many with few and also stabilize the spacetime of this world, wouldn't he be under tremendous pressure?
Therefore, it is not surprising that the aftershocks of the battle would fall into the World Ocean.

Thinking the worst, Lu Li even had reason to suspect that the senior's situation was very bad, because he knew all too well how evil would target people's weaknesses.

If you see someone trying to protect something, that thing is that person's weakness. By attacking what they are forced to defend, you can always expose their vulnerability.

The aftershocks of the battle have now reached the World Ocean, and the situation may have worsened. Their generation's time is not unlimited!

Although this devastating storm lasted only a short time, it destroyed more than one-seventh of the World Ocean region, and countless worlds and living beings perished.

Furthermore, there are taboos that people try to go back to the scene of the incident to rewind time, only to find that the world cannot be repaired and the dead can never be resurrected.

It is said that even a taboo that controls life and death went to investigate, but in the end, there was no way to bring back the dead, which shows that the power that killed those living beings is above the taboo.

For a time, everyone in the world was in danger. After many years of peace, those ancient taboos have awakened once again.

Because they realized that something big had happened to the world again, and even though they were taboo, they could not escape the raging tide of the end.

Lu Li lost interest in continuing his travels in the Primordial God Realm. He told Lan Ke about it and left the Primordial God Realm, preparing to return to the End Space.

Because things are so chaotic, the people of the Primordial God Realm no longer have the mind to pay attention to the minor conflicts with the Inner World. The Forbidden Ones are all holding meetings to discuss how to deal with the great calamity.

Oh, the absence of the Crimson Taboo did not arouse any suspicion, because He usually does not attend meetings.

After Lu Li returned to the End Space, he saw Aizen, who was also worried, though his expression remained unchanged.

"Brother Lu, things are very bad. The End Space has declared martial law and is taking stock of the losses."

Aizen said that he is actually currently the second-ranked player in the ninth-tier arena of the End Space, and the sixth-ranked player in the nine space void arenas, making him the number two figure in the End Space on the surface.

Lu Li, on the other hand, had only recently returned and hadn't yet played in the arena, so he didn't have a ranking and hadn't obtained the relevant permissions for the Void Sequence.

Aizen knows a lot of things, and nowadays he sometimes helps with some internal affairs in the End Space, which is why he is so worried.

"Was the loss significant?"

Lu Li asked in a deep voice.

“It’s huge. In that area alone, we have over seven thousand Tier 8 explorers and over forty Tier 9 explorers in the mission world.”

Aizen didn't mention the explorers below him, not because he didn't consider them human, but because he needed to rationally analyze the losses in the upper echelons, and replenishing the lower-level explorers wasn't difficult.

In the past, they might have thought that it would take ten years for a newbie to reach the eighth rank, which was a long time. But in the context of their current lifespan, this is actually a very short period of time in the scale of space management.

"Sigh, I'm not good at handling this either. All I can say is that if the End Space needs resources, give it the worlds under my command that I haven't visited yet."

Lu Li sighed, realizing that the worst of times was probably about to come.

He is indeed greedy, but ordinary material possessions are indeed external things to him; all he cares about now is the Spirit Seed.
