Chapter 787: Conflict
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the man-spear unification formed a silver topspin and pulled the power of heaven and earth to form a snowstorm, its speed dropped. It could be said that its fastest speed was a hundredfold lower compared to that of Heavenly Insect Step.
When Li Yunmu used Heavenly Insect Step with his full strength, he could travel a thousand kilometers in an instant.
While the snowstorm was rotating, absorbing even more of heaven and earth’s energy, the rate of its increase in size was visible to the naked eye.
Soon, the snowstorm alarmed all the G.o.ds in the surroundings.
Li Yunmu walked through the void, step by step, his figure flickering while he swept past half the mountain. Roughly a hundred meters behind him, an enormous snow storm was rus.h.i.+ng over at a high speed. Wherever it went, the entire place shook violently.
Two G.o.ds, one fat and one thin, with grizzling beards flew out of the cave located on the side of the cleaved mountain. Once they rose into the sky and looked at the source of the shaking, their complexions turned deathly pale. The snowstorm was advancing toward them with a shriek, not even leaving behind their old nest.
When the thin and fat G.o.ds flew away, they shouted loudly from time to time to notify other G.o.ds to run as well.
Soon, two-three G.o.ds flew out of the top of every mountain with bewildered expressions on their face. One after another, they all looked behind and saw a snowstorm rapidly advancing toward. Them. Their expressions turned deathly pale upon sighting it, and they all fled far away.
“Which G.o.d is it whose using such a divine technique in the land of ice, just die!”
“This old man just finished cultivating, and as soon as I came out, I saw this extremely frightening snowstorm. If this old man was still cultivating and got caught up in the snowstorm, then I fear not even my bones would’ve remained behind. Which G.o.d is it whose being so reckless?”
“My home has been destroyed, I will report it to king Odin so that he can punish this evil person whose causing destruction without any reason!”
“We aren’t at war with other countries, but this snowstorm is clearly a forbidden technique! Who has such big guts!”
The G.o.ds flying through the sky gathered together and ran far away like a group of migrating birds. While doing so, they kept commenting about the G.o.d who created the snowstorm in fury or depression from suffering a crus.h.i.+ng defeat. Their solemn tone clearly indicated that they wanted to tear that G.o.d who had unleashed the divine technique from limb to limb.
Just as the G.o.ds had said, the snowstorm was considered a forbidden divine technique while the country was not at war and could not be used casually in the Land of Ice. Because of its enormous power, it could cause unpredictable amount of destruction once unleashed.
As the king of Land of Ice, Ancient G.o.d Odin had commanded long ago that no one should use a technique like the snowstorm. If one was caught using it, they would be stripped of their G.o.dhood and turned into a mortal.
Li Yunmu, who was ahead of the other G.o.ds, stopped moving and turned around to look at their furious expression. His complexion turned somewhat complex. There was a famous saying on Earth that said ‘whoever married a tigress would regret it in the end’.
Right then, Brunhilda, who had transformed into a snowstorm, possessed the might of a tigress, was strong enough to make even him fearful.
[Youngster, why are you still not going to comfort that la.s.s? She has already stopped the snowstorm and is crying at the top of the mountain. It’s quite interesting how the female G.o.ddess known as the war G.o.ddess of the Land of Ice was left crying because of you. It would make for a fantastic story.]
The system’s voice suddenly echoed in Li Yunmu’s mind, and he could barely endure the impulse to curseit. In the distance, he could a figure standing on a mountain without making any moves.
When the G.o.ds standing near him saw the snowstorm disappear and the figure of a beautiful woman stand on a mountain, they became furious as if they had seen their mortal enemy. They wanted to capture that G.o.ddess who unleashed the divine technique and take her to King Odin.
Li Yunmu narrowed his eyes and unleashed Heavenly Insect Step to rush through the void. His figure flickered, and in three-five breaths, he swept past all the G.o.ds to arrive in front of Brunhilda, hiding her behind his body.
The G.o.ds flying through the sky only sensed a profound presence and saw a tall figure appear in front of the beautiful maiden. It obstructed their vision, and their complexions turned ashen while they advanced toward the top of the mountain.
When the G.o.ds arrived at the mountain and saw Li Yunmu, they regarded him as a person of the Ancient Lands of the eastern domain due to his body stature. Since they couldn’t sense any divine presence from him, they also confirmed that he was not a G.o.d.
He was not a person of the Land of Ice nor did he have any divine presence, which made him into a trifling mortal obstructing G.o.ds, and their complexions turned ugly.
“Even a mortal like you dares to stand in front of us G.o.ds? Don’t you want to live anymore?” a middle-aged, muscular man asked furiously after walking out from the group of G.o.ds. He brandished a black metal hatchet in each hand.
Li Yunmu looked at the group of G.o.ds with lightning flickering in his eyes and calmly said, “If you G.o.ds don’t have any matter here, then retreat.”
After he spoke, complete silence spread through the peak of the mountain. The middle-aged, muscular G.o.d who had spoken just then revealed a shocked expression. He was at a complete loss since it was the first time he had met a mortal who dared to use such a tone against a G.o.d.
In the past, where could they find a mortal who would not immediately crawl on the ground as soon as he saw a G.o.d or even a half G.o.d to respectfully welcome them?
But right then, the mortal from the eastern domain’s Ancient Lands was using a casual tone in front of them, the G.o.ds in the Land of Ice. He was simply being reckless!.
“d.a.m.n it, this mortal is too bold!”
“What enormous guts, he is just asking for death. Earlier, word had spread that a mysterious person destroyed the Ancient Lands of the eastern domain. With their master G.o.d not present, almost all of their ancient G.o.ds were annihilated, and even our Land of Ice could invade them. But you, a mortal of the eastern domain, still dare to talk to a G.o.d like that? Do you not want to live?”
“Although the snowstorm is a forbidden technique, as long as someone is a G.o.d of the Land of Ice, they know how to unleash it. So this was the case, a G.o.d of the Land of Ice was in cahoots with a mortal of the eastern domain! I felt that something fishy was going on here! Quickly, report to King Odin, and let’s capture them for interrogation.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The crowd of G.o.ds looked at Li Yunmu with ill intentions and began talking at once, clearly considering him as a spy. The spirits of the dual hatchets wielding, muscular G.o.d were also rose, and he coldly looked at Li Yunmu.
“Mortal, you both should obediently stay here for me and wait until the ancient G.o.ds of Scandinavia come. If you dare to make any movement, then don’t blame me…”
“Oh, what will you do then?” Li Yunmu inquired with a smile.
His heart was completely calm. He knew all too well that the position of those G.o.ds was simply too low. They hid in the mountains and did not know anything about the changes in Scandinavia. And thus, they also did not know that the person standing in front of them was the culprit who had destroyed the Ancient Lands.
But even if they did not know anything, Li Yunmu still wanted to provoke a fight with them to vent out the excess anger. If he did not do anything to release it, it might influence the balance of energies in his body.
The muscular man didn’t think that Li Yunmu would still dare to speak such words and was startled. His complexion turned ice cold and he said, “If you resist, I will behead you on this mountain, even shattering your spirit without leaving any chance to reincarnate.”
“Then come!”
