Chapter 943 A Whole New World
None of the villagers could understand why a golden chick just popped out from inside a fruit of their village’s Tree of Eternity.
“Wait, there’s still a bottom half! The chick popped out of the top one, what about the bottom!” The village headman called loudly.
The calabash gourd was so large that it has two halves: top and bottom. The fruit that the Tree of Eternity bore always had something in the bigger half of the gourd while the other half had always been empty. This time, it was different.
“Cute little chicky.”
The little girl from just now, Xing Yan picked the tiny chick up in her hand.
Village elder Feng Feng was about to swing his cleaver again to split open the bottom half when a loud crack jolted him. A crack had opened on the bottom half before a rusty sword blasted a hole through the gourd.
That was enough to send the peasants into such a fit of stricken panic that they quickly withdre

The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 944 The Barren and Effete Oststern
To say that life at Oststern really was difficult was an understatement.With the wilderness filled with wild beasts and monsters, no one dared to step foot far from the village. The dangers that prowled and circled the village were what kept merchant caravans away from these parts. Eventually, the trading routes no longer came this way, leaving Oststern to fend for its own. After all, Oststern had nothing unique to boast of except for the remarkable destitution that the situation had forcibly thrust the villagers into. No one else ever came here anymore, save for an army detachment that would come each year for its periodic conscription. The gains for coming this far weren’t exactly anywhere close to justifying the losses after all.Encompassing barely seven hectares of barren and effete lands limited Oststern to only one kind of crop known as Summer Millet that has a low requirement towards soil fertility, high yield, and helps the villages to stay
The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 945 Double Moons, the Blood Moon
Despite the vehement insistence from many of the men, Feng ultimately chose fifteen that he was satisfied with, the rest he stubbornly refused.With no more than twenty days left before the cold season struck, the scavenging hunt needed to sortie—quickly and urgently.They packed their things, prepared the carts, loaded them with gear and weapons plus some dry rations, then the procession of the fifteen packed and readied men marched towards the exit of the village to say their farewells.The womenfolk and the children of the village were all rattling with sobs.“I’ll be waiting for you, Daddy! You have to come back! You must!”“Be careful out there, son! Listen to the captain and follow his instructions, all right?”“You need to get back, husband! Your son’s only just two-plus! You need to come back and teach him how to fight yourself!”It was like the men were saying their final farew
The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 946 The Lunar Specter
“The rusted sword! It’s shaking!“Are the fragments of Shiyu’s soul and psyche around here?!”Li Mu’s eyes lit up anxiously.By that time, Feng had roused up the whole scavenging team.Every one of them knew about the horrific legends of the blood moon. As members of the scavenging hunt, they had heard about how beasts and monsters in the wilderness would fall into a frenzy of rage and bloodlust with all reason and habits forgotten. The jungle itself would become a twisted warren of bloodshed and carnage and the phenomenon of the dual moons would create a distortion in the Time-Space fabric, causing anomalies to happen.Suffice it to say that the perils of being in the wilderness have now increased a thousandfold with the blood moon now shining brightly overhead in all its macabre splendor. Even a regiment of soldiers from the military would gape in despair, never mind an ordinary scavenging hunt of a tiny villa
The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 947 Fragments
The swarming multitudes of demons and beasts closed in on the Lunar Specter like a torrential wave until they stopped a hundred meters away all of a sudden.The ferocious and frenzied mood of the stampede made worse by the crimson moonlit glow of the blood moon formed a paradoxical juxtaposition against the abrupt stillness and serenity now demonstrated by these beasts and monsters.It was as if someone had hit the mute button to extinguish all forms of noise and sounds in this world, and the entire area became an absolute silence.Pick anyone and these beasts were just mindless animals of relentless rage and carnage that would not hesitate to tear one another into pieces at any other time. Yet right here, gazing at the Lunar Specter a legion of well-trained rank-and-files, the animals and monsters all stood to attention crisply.So were the demons, or more aptly put, wraiths, now that Lu Ye had a better look at them, that n
The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 948 The Dead Are Now Gods
“That easy?! Is this even real?!”Li Mu could barely believe his luck.Knowing that he needed to be prudent, Li Mu enveloped himself in a layer of magic energy. Like wearing a golden suit of armor, he carefully stepped into the cabin. Nothing happened. Even as he took the crystal ball containing the fragments of Wang Shiyu’s psyche and soul, nothing happened.“What is so special about this crystal ball that it could store a person’s soul inside? Looks like the fragments of Shiyu’s soul and psyche are inside…” Li Mu murmured to himself as he held up the crystalline sphere.Although he quickly realized what was amiss.The image of Wang Shiyu inside the crystal ball evaporated and reformed. Even as the image reconstructed itself, a closer inspection would show that the image was more translucent than it should have been. He could see how his gaze manage to penetrate through it as if it was a thin sheet of papyrus.

The scavengers from Oststern vehemently attested to Li Mu’s identity.Doubt and disbelief swept Lei Cang’s stare. “That’s impossible!” he protested furiously, “NEVER! If a Chosen One born from a Tree of Eternity has been here for four months as you say, then he should still be a child! There is no way he’s an adult with enough powers to withstand my attacks!”The lieutenant of the squad lifted the visor of his helmet and revealed a thick-browed man with a wide face that struck Li Mu as a dependable and reassuring person. “Captain Lei’s right, I’m afraid,” he said, “Chosen Ones need twenty months to reach adulthood. If what you said is correct, then he should still be a four-year-old child by now.”“I’m already an adult by the time I emerged from the fruit,” pointed out Li Mu.“What?!” the lieutenant gasped, his face replete with shock, “How is that possible?! Are you sure?!”“No truer words have been spoken,” sa
The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 950 The Deluge of Illumination
Lei Cang was the Captain of Squad Thunder and Xiao Jianfei was only his deputy. Under usual circumstances, Li Mu was supposed to hand the Map of Cosmos to Lei Cang if he was going to surrender it to Squad Thunder. But his offering of the Map to Xiao Jianfei caught everyone by surprise.The Joker’s eyes twinkled with marvel and the lazy grin on his face evaporated as the corners of his lips curled into a wry smile.Ye Ying, the stern yet beautiful female captain of Squad Brass snorted frigidly, showing her unmasked disapproval.“What’s the meaning of this, Li Mu?!” Lei Cang roared.“Like what I said,” Li Mu responded facetiously. “So, Lieutenant Xiao. Do you want the Map, or not?”Xiao Jianfei might be straight and honest all his life, but he was by no means a fool. He immediately caught Li Mu’s gist and answered, “Very well, my friend. I shall remember well your generous gesture today.”He took the

Lei Cang waited to gloat at Li Mu’s disgrace.The substance of the Deluge of Illumination has no effect on humans. Like the very air humans breathe, it only serves the basic function of sustenance. It doesn’t provide any form of magical enhancement or growth.Li Mu ignored Lei Cang.Everything he did today was a series of well-calculated moves like chess. On the surface, he looked humble and submissive in surrendering the items he had found. But deep inside, he did not even know the strengths and uses of the items he had found. In fact, the Heaven and Earth Rings, for all he knew, might be handier and more valuable than all those items that he had found put together. On that note, he might as well just hand them over in exchange for some military merit.Military merit is the single most important currency in this world.Li Mu was not in any shortage of any instruments or tools.He could deal with Le

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 Divine Martial Stars Chapter 1233 The Meeting (3)
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 Divine Martial Stars Chapter 1230 Assassination
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 Divine Martial Stars Chapter 1228 Prince Tatsu
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
