The King of Black Fog

"Isn't this the corpse from the nursery earlier? Is this girl the same person from before?"

"The clothes look a bit like a Taoist robe..."

"Heavenly Demon bathing in the Great Dao..."

"Hurry up, let me try!"

Everyone had different focuses, with many things worth pondering, but now was not the time.

"Take this palace with us too," Li Changzhou said, "Let's hurry to the next location."

The four of them left the palace, Yafeiluna using 'Size Ruyi' to shrink the Transmission Hall and take it with them.

Her face was somewhat pale; at critical times, she couldn't afford to save resources and directly consumed a nine-thousand-year-old Flat Peach to replenish her mana.

Her gaze swept over the remaining seven palaces, all the doors were already open.

"Let's head to Yafeiluna's side first." Li Changzhou could sense her location.

The four followed him, not yet reaching the hall, Yafeiluna, the Witch, the Spirit Buddha, the Supreme True Demon, and the Venus rushed out from the palace.

"My lord!"

"Your majesty!"

All five were injured.

The Supreme True Demon, as an Earth Immortal level figure, needed the Spirit Buddha's support just to fly, showing the severity of his injuries.

"My lord, mission accomplished!" Yafeiluna knelt on one knee, unable to hide her excitement as she presented a Heavenly Will Ball.

[Name: Heavenly Will·Nine Heavenly Dominions]

[Effect: Upon fusion, gain the Nine Heavenly Dominions Heavenly Will—exert Heavenly Might, able to summon the Nine Heavens; each layer of heaven boosts one skill's power tenfold, with no mana consumption for skills;

[When the Nine Heavens unify, nine skills randomly fuse into a new skill, with its level equal to the highest level among the nine. The new skill's power increases by 100 times; after one use, the Nine Heavens separate.

[Evaluation: Constant Star Level]

The grading of Heavenly Will is indeed hard to define.

For example, this Heavenly Will's effect is to enhance skill power. How can one judge its true power without specific skills?

"Well done," Li Changzhou received the Heavenly Will Ball.

"It's what we should do!" Yafeiluna's head of red hair was matted together, soaked with green blood water.

Among those who came, only she genuinely hoped that Li Changzhou could fuse the strongest Heavenly Will and become as powerful as possible.

Ultimately, though, it's still about interests.

"We'll discuss the Heavenly Will matter later. Let's find the other team—" Li Changzhou suddenly glanced into the distance.

In the far-away, nearly sky-bound direction, another group of players that previously blocked them from boarding a ship were emerging from a great hall.

They had also searched five great halls, only finding a pile of elixir pills and weapons, most of which had lost their spiritual opportunity, with the remaining few having only some efficacy and power left.

No Heavenly Will at all!

Had they found even one, they could have chosen to leave, as the Heavenly Road was long and surely had greater opportunities, but finding none was intolerable.

Clearly, they were the first to find the ancient ship, yet all four Heavenly Wills were taken by newcomers. Who could stand that?

They pressed in menacingly.

These twelve individuals, each driving a battle chariot, clearly showed signs of an entire set of items.

Originally intact items now appeared as if they'd gone through a fierce battle, bearing pits and dents, various weapon marks, and still-wet blood stains.

"Your Excellency seems to have reaped quite a harvest." The leader's face was grim.

"Not bad, but—" Li Changzhou glanced at him, "You don't seem to be doing well."

Another of the twelve sneered, "Indeed, not doing well. Could you be kind and share two Heavenly Wills with us?"

"Why should we give you the Heavenly Wills we risked our lives for?" Yafeiluna rebuked.

"Why?" Another person spoke, his voice like a war drum, "Because we're also ready to risk our lives to take them from you!"

Murderous intent filled the air.

These twelve were like twelve volcanoes, releasing divine power that soared to the sky.

Behind them, a massive army emerged; looking out, half the sky was filled, just waiting for the twelve to give the order to charge!

The sight was truly astounding.

Venus, the Supreme True Demon, and others' faces changed; already injured, they could no longer withstand another assault from the enemy.

They would surely die!

Yet, to just hand over the Heavenly Wills, even Li Changzhou couldn't accept it.

Unless absolutely necessary, Li Changzhou would never fuse the [Nine Heavenly Dominions] and other Heavenly Wills; they were ultimately fated to be his!

Caught in a dilemma.

At this moment, Li Changzhou shook his head and spoke, "When I said 'not well,' I wasn't referring to your gains."

He looked at the leader, "I meant—your strength isn't well."

The twelve felt a chill in their hearts.

Not good!

For a player who had embarked on the Heavenly Road and obtained a Heavenly Will, boasting at least keen crisis consciousness was expected.

The leader hesitated no more and prepared to fuse a Heavenly Will on the spot.

However, just then, he suddenly pondered: if he fused this Comet Level Heavenly Will, he would have to protect the other eleven, allowing them to fuse higher-level Heavenly Wills.

He was unwilling.

Very unwilling.

He didn't want those who were as powerful as him to obtain a Heavenly Will stronger than his own, forever overshadowing him.

"Kill!" A vast and boundless army roared a battle shout to the heavens.

The leader snapped back to reality.

What happened?

Why did he think of this now?

If he didn't fuse the Heavenly Will soon, he would die!

"Emotion Control"

He reached out and took it, extracting the Heavenly Will from his backpack, his internal ability...

"Time Stop," Li Changzhou said only two words.

A gigantic black hand shot out from the void behind him, reaching toward the twelve.

Above the twelve's heads, a beautiful clockwork gear appeared.

Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~

The golden hands moved, and the black hand pressed on them, holding the hands in place.
