People often laughed at moths flying toward the fire for their stupidity of courting death.
But what they did not know was the moths had never seen light in their entire life. So, when they sensed even a single bit of warmth, they would leap forward to embrace the light, even though the light would burn them up.
They knew that meant death.
But they also knew something man was not aware of. That was, though the flame would burn their bodies up, it would purify their souls as well.
They were creatures living in darkness but yearning for light.
And they chased light without regrets.
The vanguard of the Heaven Inspire Army viewed as unworthy beings, sinners, and slaves, as well as those members of the ancient factions who had escaped death by hiding in mountains, were exactly like the moths. They had been hiding in lightless hell. When they caught the thin shaft of light after the crown prince of the Great Moo
"Your Highness, you can't do that. Let me, the old Zhang, do it.""The two of us can stay and hold off the pursuing forces. That way we can die without regrets. Your Highness, you are carrying the spark of the Great Moon Empire. We can't let anything bad happen to you!"Zhang San and Mu Qing hopped anxiously on the spot.At that time, to stay there and fight Emperor Qin Ming was basically committing suicide.Yu Hualong countered, "But will you be able to hold him off if you two stay here?"Both of them were dumbfounded upon hearing that question.Yes, they could not stop Emperor Qin Ming even if they stayed on the battlefield.Indeed, Semi-Sages could easily triumph over most of the other practitioners in the world. However, in the face of Emperor Qin Ming, the number one expert on that planet, they could be killed in a fraction of a second. Therefore, if the two stayed, they would just be off
"Hmm?"Emperor Qin Ming looked astonished."Heavenly Devil Sword!"Layers of black mist flowed around him, as if he were like a devil that was dancing wildly, with his overbearing and gloomy voice roaring. Then, they turned into a black dragon, and in front of him, formed into layers of a phantom of the black emperor sword..."Puff!"Cyan lights and shadows.They, like a heated snow-stabbing sword, pierced the phantom of the seemingly invincible heavenly sword directly."What?"Emperor Qin Ming was shocked.The cyan sword stabbed toward his throat with unparalleled killing intent.In a hurry, he retreated.He could only retreat.The power of this sword was far beyond his imagination.The cyan sword light spread like a waterfall and approached the disintegrated Flying Whale Shuttle, on which, the ministers retreated o
Li Mu's voice, like thunder from heaven, echoed in the sky above the Longcheng Pass.The West Qin Army stationed in the city was completely alarmed in an instant.At the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Li Yuanba suddenly changed his look and said, "Come to guard the Duke's Mansion." He ordered his Regal Guards to protect the entire Duke's Mansion, and the army in the city gathered toward the Duke's Mansion like a hurricane.At the same time, there were also 10 Black Devil Guards for Emperor Qin Ming guarding the surrounding area of the mansion.As the black mist enveloped them with Devil Qi, the ink-colored mist that floated in the air transformed into large demon seal runes in a casually condensing manner. They were barely visible and flickered as they linked the entire Duke's Mansion together and enveloped it, which apparently seemed to be a type of Great Way formation.Emperor Qin Ming, the most powerful man in the worl
As Li Mu then activated the Broadsword-commanding Skill, the 10 flying knives shook, causing an air-wave layer in the void, and rippled away like water waves. However, the flying knives instantly broke through the sky and turned into a rainbow. They flew in an angle like an antelope's horn. From different angles, they flew in different directions toward Emperor Qin Ming.There was no need to say more.The only thing he could do was fight.By using the Broadsword-commanding Skill and the Broadsword Intent to activate the Broadsword Pellet, the knife was attached with the power of Emperors' Fire, whose power was unparalleled. The 10 black-armored devil guards occupied all locations and formed a devil formation, but they were still destroyed by Li Mu's one blow, which was a divine skill powerful enough to kill a Great Saint instantly."It's rare for you to have such high-level cultivation. You're really arrogant." Emperor Qin Ming smi
Emperor Qin Ming's face showed a hint of ridicule."A group of ant nonentities just coming back for death," he looked at Li Mu and said. "I know that you also have some extraterrestrial immortal magic arts, but ants that eat fairy dew are also ants. How can they turn into dragons? Can your so-called cultivation methods and Taoist magic arts compare with my Heavenly Devil Tactics?"He was extremely confident.The Divine Way had already collapsed, and the external force had arrived successively. In this part of the world, there were already gods and demons, but so what? In the Immortal Star region, the Heavenly Devil Sect was the strongest. Could any of the Immortal magic arts and Taoist magic arts be compared to its power?Everything was under his control.The gods and demons from the outer skies would be wiped out by him sooner or later.Li Mu didn't say a word at all, but directly raised his hand and thre
In the void, the inky demon qi surged like a pot of boiling water. It boiled frantically but eventually returned to quietness and slowly dissipated, as though the last bit of unwillingness to be outdone of Emperor Qin Ming finally faded away at the end of his life.Li Mu slowly landed on the ground.By that point, Longcheng Pass had become a city dwelt only by ghosts.When Emperor Qin Ming cast the Heavenly Devil Tactics, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Heaven Inspire Army and the imperial army were turned into dried corpses, for Emperor Qin Ming had sucked away all their essence and blood just like last time Yingshan Snow-eagle employed the Extraterrestrial Devils' power to devour the vigor of all the imperial soldiers at his command.The entire force was annihilated.The Heavenly Devils' secret arts were killing techniques, which were wicked beyond the extreme.Holding that Magic Seal agains
Li Mu's name started to make countless people shiver in fear.Many forces, tycoons, and giants began to find Li Mu unfathomable.Since the boy's rise in Taibai City, he had never been defeated through all kinds of battles. Every time he dueled with someone much more famous and holding a much higher rank, the outsiders all thought he would get killed in the fight, but the results of all those battles were surprisingly consistent—All those who were mortal enemies with Li Mu had been killed.And Li Mu maintained his legendary unbeatable records.Slowly, many people came to realize that a new legend of martial art was gradually taking shape. Li Mu was like the sun rising from the east that began to shine brilliantly. His brilliance was already so dazzling that the others could hardly open their eyes.Gusts of wind mixed with the smell of blood blew across the land.In a lifeless, empty city, bloo
Longcheng Pass had become the center of the turbulence on the entire continent.The Great Moon Empire was working hard to rebuild the ten cities and nine places. Except for Longcheng Pass, the other 18 cities in the border area had all undergone a massacre conducted by the Western Qin's army. When entered into any of the 18 cities, it felt like entering a purgatory. Many normal people would have a nervous breakdown at the sight of the tragic view there.It was just like hell.In complete silence, Li Mu followed the army of the Great Moon Empire burying the bodies of those civilians who had died a tragic death from one city to another. He went more taciturn each time he arrived in a city.He saw the bodies of seniors, gruesomely dismembered; bodies of grandparents, burnt to death in their house. He saw a young mother holding a baby less than one-month-old that had been shot dead by an arrow. The mother looked in the deepest grief, b
Li Mu's cultivation nowadays was at the peak of the Golden Immortal, and his battle power could cut down the first generals.If one were to obtain a drop of Immortal Marrow, one could instantly leap into the peak of Immortal Generals, and at that time, even if one were to face an Immortal King, one would be able to defeat him in battle, not to mention traversing across the major state capitals, even if it was the entire Eastern Sacred Continent, the heavens and the earth were vast, and one could go to it.At that time, it would be like a fish out of water to find Wang Shiyu, Hua Wanyong, and the others.At that thought, Li Mu immediately became desirous of this Immortal Marrow."One drop of Immortal Marrow, one great realm, so if a bottle of Immortal Marrow were all swallowed, wouldn't it directly soar into the Immortal Emperor, Immortal Emperor or even Immortal Lord realm?" Li Mu said.Xia Jing was stunned and then giggled."I didn't expect that
Uh-huh?What a scene of déjà vu.Li Mu all of a sudden, remembered the legendary Liu Huangshu Baidicheng entrusted the orphan.It's a pity that the Emperor is not Uncle Liu.And Li Mu is not Zhuge Kongming.Li Mu said indifferently, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can make a dao oath that I won't taint the imperial power of Huangji Cliff for the rest of my life.""Cough cough cough ......" the emperor coughed, hastily said: "I ...... am not using words to frame you, I... ...In the chaotic world, there is no strength, sooner or later ...... sooner or later is the death ...... of the disaster ...... wood brother you if you are the emperor, or you may be able to ...... preserve a trace of my bloodline, I ......"Li Mu said, "Your Majesty's meaning, I understand, but my words remain the same, I will never dye the royal fist, Emperor Chen will be a bright ruler."The emperor sighed and said, "I understand ...... all ...... all stand down ....
Reimu smiled.Snap your fingers.Phew.A golden stream of light flashed by.Emperor Zhen, who was roaring at the top of his lungs, his voice came to an abrupt end, and his hands covered his neck, a splash of blood seeped out, followed by golden flames, which spewed out from his body."You ...... you dare to kill me?"He looked at Li Mu incredulously and eventually turned into a puff of flying ash.In the great hall, there was an instant dead silence.The horrific images, although they had ended, the aftermath was still like a hurricane, still madly hitting everyone's nerves over and over again.Prince Wood actually went out and killed someone?He actually made a move?Killing a royal son with royal blood flowing in his body right here in this great hall?He dared.He really dared.All the ministers felt that their bodies were cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, like the cold winter of the t
The other ministers in the hall, hearing such words, could not help but look at Zheng Yuan with shocked gazes.The so-called Emperor Tatsu's son is a wild seed, this kind of thing, if you don't explode it sooner or later, and you don't explode it at this time, what is the intention?Besides, it's not certain whether it's true or not.Saying such words in such an important meeting of the court was tantamount to slapping the emperor's face in public and rubbing the emperor's majesty, on the ground.What a nerve.On one side, Servant Yin's face changed wildly as she shook her head and argued, "No, it's not like that, Chen'er is His Majesty's child ...... "When the Emperor intended to set up Emperor Chen as the Crown Prince just now, she vaguely realized that this was a dangerous signal, the treacherous darkness of the palace court was not something she could resist as a small servant girl.But I didn't expect the slander and danger to come so
"Tatsu-chan!"Servant Yin was filled with a huge surprise in her chest and subconsciously rushed over to the little boy and held him in her arms."Mother, you're here too ...... Mother, I've seen father."The little boy dug into Squire Yin's arms with delight.His first words had to do with his parents.But many snickers resounded clearly and audibly in the great hall.Although no one said anything, the meaning was clear: 'Father' is a word you call, too?Servant Yin, however, didn't pay that much attention.In the instant she saw her son, her heart, without the slightest bit of nervousness or panic, held her son firmly in her arms, and the only thought in her entire life and soul at that moment was to protect her son at all costs."Do not make a noise and stand aside."The Grand Eunuch opened his mouth to chide.The little boy then kept his mouth tightly shut.He was foolish and hadn't seen much of the world, b
A cold aura flickered.A sword to the death.The sharp sword was about to pierce the young maid's brow.Just then, a sudden change occurred.Suddenly space and time seemed to freeze, and the black-clothed assassin realized that his immortal sword, after all, was no longer able to progress the slightest bit.What's going on?He was alarmed in his mind.And yet the next moment--Ding!The sword body incredibly broke apart and turned into countless shards.The tip of the sword flew backward and penetrated the black-clothed assassin's throat.Before the blood could soar out, his body erupted into a ball of golden flames, which then turned into flying ash and dissipated into the air.The little maid looked at what was in front of her in shock.In that moment just now, she thought she was bound to die.It turned out to be the assassin who died.Who saved me?She gasped in horror and looked arou
The Emperor was sitting on the throne of the Nine to Five, a little tired.The fact that he was poisoned was not revealed to the public.So until now, no one has known.But the toxin was eating away at his body so frantically that his energy was declining so much that his entire body felt extremely tired at all times.The sound of ministers' ears arguing seemed near and far away in the ear.The hand-wringing Prince Tatsu was led by the great eunuch and stood on the side of the dragon chair.Eight or nine year old boy, for the first time out of that small compound, face full of fear, timid, like a small goat caught in a wolf pack, not knowing what to do, lowered his head, twisted the corner of his coat, did not even dare to come out of the atmosphere.This look, in the eyes of the ministers, is even more unbearable."Your Majesty's intention to establish a Crown Prince is a major event, and should not be done in haste, perhaps it should
The little boy did not return until late afternoon.The young maid tried to inquire about the news several times, but was mercilessly stopped by the palace's close guards guarding the entrance of the firewood courtyard.She had been until, herself, she was secluded.This alarmed the young maid even more.What the hell is going on?What kind of terrible things would Tatsu'er face if he went to the palace?The Empress and the Noble Consorts, they won't poison him, will they?Why did His Majesty suddenly summon Chen'er to the palace?She speculated in her mind in fear, her tears were like a fountain that she could not control at all.It's a mother's love for her son.Humble but great love.Kneeling on both knees in the courtyard, she looked up at the Hao Sun that was gradually setting in the sky, and at the silver full moon that had already risen, shedding tears and silently praying with her life and soul."Tatsu'e
The Emperor was at the half-step Golden Immortal level of cultivation, and although this realm was forcefully instilled with various resources and secret techniques, the realm was enough after all.The lifespan of a half-step Golden Immortal could be more than five thousand years.So the Emperor never thought that he would have to face death head on, so soon."It's so ...... ungrateful."He smiled bitterly on his face and sighed deeply on the inside.But in the end, you have to face reality.The biggest problem to consider today was who should inherit the throne of Huangji Cliff after his death.He had only ascended the throne as emperor for just over two years, and because he was diligent in his political affairs and too young, he had not even considered the matter of the succession of the throne.In the harem, there are but one wife and two concubines.These three women were not his true love, but were allied for the sake of pr
