Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At that moment, Li Yunmu, regardless of whether in terms of presence, mental state, or temperament, was completely different from the Li Yunmu who had entered the Yin Imperial Palace.
“Let’s go, and don’t leave any traces,” he said indifferently. “If we get an opportunity in the future to see your enemy, I will help you wipe them out. But, of course, I would prefer a different method, and that is to let you personally settle this grudge!”
The system looked at Li Yunmu with a blank expression. After sensing the change in his temperament, it felt extremely moved. Sure enough, he hadn’t chosen the wrong person. The descendants of a war saint couldn’t be trifled with.
Li Yunmu stood up and picked up the Solitary Ignition Sword inserted in the ground and lightly brandished it. One after another, waves of sword energy were released with each slice through the air. They left sharp cuts on the walls of the stone room.
“Pretty good. This is a good sword. Oi, Chang Qin, since you are my sword spirit, I will help you deal with your enemies. Since I killed that Zhurong once, I can kill him again and again… Regardless of whoever he is, he will still die in the end!”
The Solitary Ignition Sword trembled slightly, as if replying to Li Yunmu, but because it was sealed by the system, Li Yunmu couldn’t understand its intentions. However, the hand which held the sword had to exert a little more strength to control it.
Li Yunmu’s gaze became even brighter. With a brilliant light flickering in his eyes, he appeared even more extraordinary.
At that moment, his next goal was to obtain the emperor’s goblet which was in the Yin Imperial Palace. If he could obtain the inheritance of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu and ingest it properly, then even Asura would become much weaker than him.
Fortunately for him, although the Yin Imperial Palace had already been sealed, there wasn’t the least bit of yin energy present inside; otherwise, Li Yunmu would have found it quite troublesome to move around.
When he came out of the stone room, he discovered the marks of battle on the walls of Yin Imperial Palace. It seemed like there were many battles between the young talents for the resources.
But that did not concern Li Yunmu. It was a rule in the cultivation world that the weak would be consumed by the strong. Unless one exerted great effort, they could only be eaten up by others.
Li Yunmu looked at the surroundings and confirmed that there wasn’t any yin energy around him. The atmosphere was somewhat miserable, but there were many paths outside the stone room. So many actually, that Li Yunmu had no idea which one to take for some time.
[It doesn’t matter, just take any path. Regardless of which one you take, all of them will converge in the Ryukyu Hall,] the system said.
Li Yunmu nodded, then chose a narrow path by relying on his instincts and began to walk forward.
On his way, he saw many elixirs and forging materials which would be considered precious in the outside world lying around, and he collected all of them into his heavenly world.
Although those things could only be considered as something that occupied s.p.a.ce compared to the ocean monarch stones, they would be in great demand among the people residing in his heavenly world.
Many people used up a large amount of credit points to obtain the things he collected, and he nodded in satisfaction after seeing that.
At that moment, his heavenly world’s strength was almost comparable to that of the night pearl small world, which he had visited previously. It was something he hadn’t noticed for a while because he usually didn’t pay much attention to the matters of his heavenly world.
But when he investigated it this time, he was quite pleasantly surprised, because among his people, he could see many cultivators having already reached the tribulation pa.s.sing stage.
Li Yunmu felt extremely gratified by that. He was convinced that as long as he gave them more time, they would become his biggest helpers!
Li Yunmu then resolved to help the people in his heavenly world mature at an even faster speed.
Thus, as he continued advancing, he collected everything he saw. Even the soil on which the rare herbs grew was put into his heavenly world.
At that moment, Li Yunmu was like a bandit, looting everything he saw. He put all of it into his heavenly world, and he even pried open the bricks of the walls under the disdainful gaze of the system.
Soon, he reached the end of the pa.s.sage, which had given him a lot of treasures. Regardless of whatever it was, as long as he could get his hands on it, he had collected all of it.
An imposing palace appeared in front of Li Yunmu’s gaze. It had a black roof and green tiles, which emitted strands of cold and gloomy intent.
The large door of the palace hall was tightly shut, which made Li Yunmu extremely suspicious.
Has no one entered this palace? Didn’t the system say that all paths converge here? Then why does it seem like no one entered here.
Li Yunmu entered the palace hall while full of suspicion.
Once inside, he saw an extremely s.p.a.cious hall. The floor was built with white jade tiles, while blue-colored torches were lined up along the walls. They created a gloomy atmosphere.
Li Yunmu slowly walked forward with vigilance. The hall was extremely stange. It was impossible that all of the young talents would have been unable to reach it.
Yet all of them had mysteriously disappeared. They could have just left the Yin Imperial Palace, but Li Yunmu didn’t believe it, so he was extremely guarded against the strange palace hall.
Just as he expected, he hadn’t even walked two steps when a sharp blade of yin energy shot toward him. Li Yunmu didn’t move. He only hardened his gaze and shattered the blade.
But his action was similar to blowing a fuse. In an instant, countless sharp blades congealed in the s.p.a.ce above him and attacked him one after another.
“Hmph! Cheap tricks, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu. Your cheap methods can only go so far!”
Li Yunmu coldly snorted, and his presence erupted. After barely an instant, all the swords shattered. They turned back into yin energy and fell to the ground.
But Li Yunmu didn’t lower his guard. If an ancient sage could only use such cheap tricks, it would make no sense.
When Li Yunmu took a few more steps, he suddenly felt his surroundings change, and a familiar presence reached him.
Soon after, five spatial cracks appeared around him. Five illusory figures stepped out and launched an intense attack on him.
Five daggers sealed Li Yunmu’s retreat like five vipers. The five creatures who used them were the s.p.a.ce-time spirits with which Li Yunmu had previously come in contact.
If the cultivators of Ryukyu Small World faced the s.p.a.ce-time spirits, then given their strength, they would be in extreme danger.
Since the s.p.a.ce-time spirits were the strangest a.s.sa.s.sins of the universe, anyone who did not possess strength far surpa.s.sing theirs would not be able to sense their sneak attack.
