The Divine Martial Stars-Chapter 1030 - Ambush

Chapter 1030 Ambush

Li Gang suspected that his wife was pregnant because she committed adultery with others and Li Mu was not his own son. He took good care of his good-for-nothing son, Li Xiong, but made trouble with Li Mu who showed infinite potential. He wanted to kill Li Mu.

Li Mu now suspected that Li Gang asked the Bloody-moon faction to hunt down another Li Mu.

Li Mu’s mother made Li Mu understand another thing.

There was nothing special with Li Gang.

He should be dead.

Moreover, Li Mu’s mother had no special identity.

She should just be a chosen one.

Some powerful people in the universe seemed to have some secret skill to make a virgin be pregnant.

Li Mu thought that the matter was related to the Cosmic Emperor Deathless.

When that Li Mu went out to study and took the exam, he didn’t take Qing Feng and Ming Yue with him. Later, when they met on the way, Li Mu once asked them about it. They were refugees and were about to starve to death. When that Li Mu passed by them, he accepted them as attendants and let them serve by his side all the time. But now it seemed that Qing Feng was probably the reincarnation of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless. Even if he was not reincarnation, he had something to do with the Cosmic Emperor Deathless. How could two refugees be related to the Cosmic Emperor Deathless?

Therefore, the identities of Qing Feng and Ming Yue might be special.

But Li Mu believed that these two people hadn’t lied to him.

The only explanation was that Qing Feng and Ming Yue had no memory of their origins. Perhaps they were just like the chess pieces on the chessboard and did not know the truth.

At this time, Li Mu figured out many key points.

The conversation with Li Mu’s mother ended in a short time.

This was a relief for both sides.

Li Mu promised once he found the other Li Mu, he would inform Li Mu’s mother immediately. Moreover, he would bring Li Mu to see her if possible.

For Li Mu’s mother, this might be the last expectation in her life.

Li Mu did not stay on the Heavenly Land Planet for too long.

After making some arrangements, he left the Heavenly Land Planet for Mount Shu on the Bitter Star with some of his relatives and friends.

At this time, the major forces of the Holy Lands had begun to investigate the whereabouts of the legacy of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless in the Ziwei Star Zone.

It was lonely, cold, deep, and distant in the Star River.

On the way to the Bitter Star, Li Mu was suddenly intercepted.

The other party was from the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain.

“Ha… I’ve searched high and low for him, only to find him by sheer luck. Chief Li, hand over the man beside you.” Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens stared at Qing Feng with a fake smile.

Li Mu cursed in his heart.

He had been very careful along the way. But in the end, he still met the people of Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain. He was too unlucky.

“I represent the Military of Man,” Li Mu said coldly. “Does Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain want to betray the Military of Man? How dare you take things from the Military of Man.”

Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens sneered and said, “Ha… Since you can represent the Military of Man, can’t the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain represent the Military of Man? Even the Military of Man was jointly established by the Holy Lands. The Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain has a place in the Conclave of Ten. Chief Li’s cultivation is not high enough, so you can’t protect the legacy of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless. You’d better give me the legacy and let me take it back. You should consider for the entire Human Clan.”

“Think about it carefully. What does it mean if you deal with me?” Li Mu said, “You have said so many words, but they can’t cover up the fact that you have violated the law of the Military of Man. Once the news spread back, even if you are one of the nine future leaders of the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain, you will be killed.”

The Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens burst out laughing. “Ha… Chief Li, you don’t have to go back. Stay in this Zone. You’ve already made enough contributions to the Human Clan. Rest in peace.”

After that, he made a move directly.

The Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens was afraid that a long delay might cause trouble, so he took action immediately. Several bolts of lightning turned into a thunder dragon. It roared and rushed toward Li Mu.

The experts of Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain around Li Mu enveloped him.

“Damn it.”

Li Mu was furious.

Those bastards from Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain were so shameless. They were so bold that they didn’t even take the Military of Man seriously. No wonder they dared to plot against Li Mu and kill the Eighteen Sterling Trailblazers.

Fortunately, when the Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens fought against the Great Emperor Chaos, he used all kinds of forbidden techniques and secret skills. Therefore, Li Mu had a better understanding of his moves. He activated the Natural Qi of the Emperors’ Fire, and the third form of the Godbreaker circulated. 120 flying broadswords swirled around him under the influence of the Emperors’ Fire to protect himself and Qing Feng. He was barely able to resist the attacks.

“Divine Thunder Blow of the Ninth Heavens.”

The Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens roared, and a sea of thunder and lightning appeared all over the sky. Vortexes quickly formed in the sea of thunder, and a Heavenly Tribulation of thunder and lightning spread down from the vortexes toward Li Mu.

“Damn it, let’s go all out.”

Without any hesitation, Li Mu took out the Light of the Night as he had planned many times.

It was not only the token of the Chief of the Inquisition but also one of his life-saving means.

Driven by the Natural Qi of the Emperors’ Fire, the bright lamp suddenly condensed an orange wick in the lamp. It released a dim yellow halo and rippled, protecting Li Mu and Qing Feng.

The bolts of lightning could not break through the halo.

“How could it be?”

The Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens was shocked.

“How could the new chief activate the Light of the Night to such an extent?”

He knew how powerful the lamp was. After all, it was a life-saving treasure that the Military of Man had given to the Chief of the Inquisition. It was said that if the chief’s cultivation was high enough to fully bring out the potential of this lamp, the chief would be able to compete against an Emperor’s Weapon.

But the new chief’s cultivation was only at the first stage of the Great Way. How could he activate the Light of the Night to such an extent?

Rumble!

Countless bolts of lightning frantically bombarded the halo of the Light of the Night, making the wick in the lamp crackle and sway. Even the halo enveloping Li Mu and Qing Feng became unstable.

“I should find a way to escape.”

Li Mu activated the Light of the Night and rushed straight in the opposite direction of the Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens.

“Stop him.”

The Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens shouted.

An expert of the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain laughed and attacked. He turned out to be at the peak of the Way Sage Realm. He had stepped out of the Way Sage Realm and into the Celestial Master Realm. The runes of the Way of Thunder all over the sky flickered, and the terrible energy turned into a giant thunder hand thousands of meters long, which directly rushed toward Li Mu.

“Go to hell.”

Li Mu was full of killing intent.

He took out the bronze gourd of Yin and Yang and removed the plug.

Rumble!

Colorful Divine Fires and strange fires gushed out of the gourd. In an instant, the thousands-of-meters-long giant thunder hand was burned into ashes. It was so fast that the expert of Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain behind it did not react.

When he reacted, the sea of flames all over the sky engulfed him.

“No.” He exclaimed and tried to run his cultivation to resist, but it didn’t work. He only felt that the heat was approaching. Then he instantly lost all his consciousness and reaction. 𝒇𝚛e𝗲𝘸e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝙚𝒍.c૦𝒎

In the eyes of others, the preliminary Celestial Master from Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain was instantly burned to ashes by the Divine Fires and strange fires.

“Somersault Cloud!”

Li Mu shouted and performed the high-speed secret skill. In an instant, he escaped from the gap, turned into a spot of light, and disappeared into the void in the distance.

The other experts of the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain did not dare to chase after him at once because the fires hadn’t dissipated. By the time the Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens came to his senses, Li Mu had already disappeared.

“Damn it!”

The Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens gritted his teeth in anger.

Li Mu broke through the blockade too fast. It was completely beyond his imagination. He didn’t have time to stop the other party. Such a good opportunity disappeared just like that.

Now, the other major forces were also looking for Li Mu. Especially the Great Emperor Chaos was the strongest among them. With so many people competing, it would be extremely difficult to have another good opportunity.

“Master, I have an idea.”

Lei Cang, who had been standing in the dark, suddenly spoke.

“Hmm? Just go ahead.”

“I used to live in this Zone, so I know Li Mu very well. He is famous for shielding his people and valuing relationships. He has a master hiding on a planet called Earth. There are also many of his friends and relatives on Earth. We just need to catch these people and force Li Mu to hand over the legacy of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless. In this way, we can lure him to show up,” Lei Cang said in an indifferent voice.

“It sounds good. But what if Li Mu disregards the lives of these people for the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless?” An expert in the Celestial Master Realm from Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain next to him said.

Lei Cang said, “That’s impossible. Li Mu is extremely impulsive. He will never give up on those people. As long as we force him to show up again, even if he is unwilling to hand over the legacy of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless, he will have no other choice.”

The Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens said, “Well, that’s it. Lead the way and go to Earth. As long as you succeed, I’ll reward you handsomely.”

“Thank you, Master.” Lei Cang was overjoyed.

“Hurry up. The energy of the Realm-breaking Diagram can only last for ten days at most. If we can’t succeed within ten days, we can only return to the Battlefield of Chaos. Once we go back, with the support of the Military of Man, the Brotherhood of Swords, and the Sanctuary of the Way, it will be very difficult to get the inheritance from this person.” The Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens said.

“Phew! That was close!”

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief when he knew the people of Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain had not caught up with him.

His strength had greatly increased, so his Somersault Cloud moved even faster. Especially after he cultivated the Natural Qi of the Emperors’ Fire, the speed of the Somersault Cloud was comparable to that of light. Now, it was one of his biggest trump cards for escaping.

Just now, he got rid of the ambush from Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain. What a close call. If Li Mu hadn’t simulated the corresponding plan of escaping countless times before, he wouldn’t have escaped so easily this time.

He put away the Light of the Night.

The power of the token of the Chief of the Inquisition was quite surprising.

He would arrive in the Bitter Star’s area.

“The various parties will stop at nothing to hunt me down. Anyone related to me will be implicated. Therefore, I must make the best use of my time.”
