Ying Hongyue stared at Li Hao, laughing at himself after a long while. “You... are unbelievably obsessed with killing me. This almost makes my death worth it...” The young man had gone insane to kill him! Li Hao had promised to release the Red Moon exalted emperor’s replica and to bequeath the true meaning of sword dao to Li Daoheng. He’d relinquished the bloodline of the Lis and given up the combined eight bloodlines... All of the heroes in the world did not seem to measure up in Li Hao’s eyes—he found more joy in killing Ying Hongyue. The young man had even exposed the star of time! Ying Hongyue looked around him, at the replicas that were piles of dust. Hope completely withered; he sighed. “Perhaps... the biggest mistake I ever made was to wait until you came into your power. Maybe I erred starting from that day. I should’ve killed you when the opportunity first presented itself!” “It’s time for you to be on your way.” Li Hao’s expression was calm. “Any price I pay to kill you is worth it in my eyes. That’s because... I hate you!” Bones snapped, flesh and blood flew through the air! Li Hao tightened his grip on the man, listening to bones pop and crack. Ying Hongyue continuously grunted with pain, but refused to cry out. He clenched his jaw so hard that his teeth shattered. “You want me to despair and rail against the world, but I won’t let you have the satisfaction of seeing that!” A violent light dawned in his eyes. “Li Hao, I’ll be your nightmare even in death!” “I don’t care about that, I only care that you die, completely and utterly!” Ying Hongyue’s tongue was part of the next inch of devastation, leaving him mute. Bystanders observed the proceedings, watching Ying Hongyue being painstakingly demolished into pieces of a human being. The only thing left intact were his eyes, a singular pair of eyes hovering in the air, watching everything! Li Hao was so calm that he didn’t seem to be part of the living. In the sky, a corner of the seal collapsed. Red Moon power surged out and a wispy figure began to form. Li Hao silently watched on. The figure grew in strength and shape. After a while, it resembled the Red Moon exalted emperor. He looked at Li Hao, wanting to rush over and kill the young man in order to resolve a minor threat. That was when the eight main cities vibrated wildly! A blade of blood hovered in the distance—its wielder had locked onto this location. “I just feel that... the future will be very annoying if I don’t kill you!” sighed the exalted emperor. He punched through the void with another sigh and vanished on the spot, burrowing into the immaterial dao universe! The eight cities radiated light, closing the seal shut once again! Ying Hongyue’s eyes dimmed for the last time. So the exalted emperor’s replica still did not choose to kill Li Hao in the end! “What were you looking forward to?” Li Hao snorted. “Won’t I have wasted the eight bloodlines if he dared make a movie against me?” Light winked out of Ying Hongyue’s eyes; they spontaneously turned to ash! My combined eight bloodlines were fed to the blade. The god of Initial Martial would take action if the exalted emperor attacked Li Hao! Can the exalted emperor’s replica stand against the god and the blade of blood? The god of Initial Martial sighed and broke out in noisy curses. Fucking hell! Why didn’t you do something against the kid? If you had, I’d kill your replica and be square with Li Hao! I wouldn’t owe him anything then! The god raged and stomped around. I don’t want to be involved in any of this, but after Li Hao fed the eight bloodlines to the blade, the cat seems to be on the verge of awakening. I really owe him big time for this! The seal closed due to renewed pressure from the eight main cities. Ying Hongyue had been wiped out of existence. In the surroundings, everyone looked at Li Hao. The young man didn’t say a word and disappeared, landing on a mountaintop where tendrils of ash billowed in the air. He looked at some empty graves on the mountain peak. I’ve... finally killed one of the culprits! Ying Hongyue is dead! Li Hao tilted his head back up at the sky. I only have those powerhouses left to take care of now. These people are also part of the reason for everything happening. I’ll get them all! “Mom, dad, Little Yuan... It won’t be long now!” murmured the young man. It wouldn’t be long until that day, the day in which he eliminated all enemies from Silver Moon! The great dao traversed the world and massive dragons soared through the sky. Rays of dao strength emanated throughout Silver Moon! Li Hao started opening dao meridians again, shooting astronomically upward from 144 dao meridians. He smiled faintly. It took me so long to kill someone I hated that much. That’s kind of a failure, isn’t it? And yet, the despondency hanging over his heart had lifted by quite a lot. Ying Hongyue was dead! Li Hao had swore a vow to kill his family’s murderer the day he walked out of Silver City. After endless scheming and plotting, he’d finally fulfilled it! The replicas of corporeal dao, immaterial dao, eight bloodlines, and the primary body... Ying Hongyue was likely the most difficult enemy to contend with in this age. Zheng Yu and the rest were difficult to encounter, but the few times that Li Hao had, he hadn’t come off worse for the wear. Thus, he didn’t think much about them. It was Ying Hongyue who the young man had come into contact with early on and either could not, or was unable to kill! It was so much harder to kill Ying Hongyue than a half step emperor. Li Hao was in a much lighter mood and his dao heart was at peace. The unique characteristic of this age was that cultivators trained the heart. Any blockages in one’s dao heart would make for arduous progress on the path of great dao. Having cleared a major obstacle today, his great dao rapidly churned forward. The young man appeared calm on the surface, yet he was anything but. He stood in front of the empty graves, his emotions so complicated that no one could understand them. Who would’ve thought the young man who’d been worried about superhumans a year ago would have killed numerous Empyrean Kings and his greatest enemy today? Li Hao smiled faintly. Did you guys see that? Are you guys able to see that? Is there a dao star that belongs to you among the one hundred million? Li Hao seemed to be both laughing and crying. Probably not. I’m unable to resurrect you guys even though I grasp the world, aren’t I? ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel~fire~net Whether it was his parents or Little Yuan, none of them had been cultivators. Even if they were connate dao entities born with dao meridians, they likely still didn’t possess personal dao stars because they had never cultivated. Are there any that belong to you within this vast cosmos? And if there are, will I ever be able to find them? Countless humans had been born on Silver Moon world throughout endless years, and innumerable ones died as well. So many stars exist in the dao universe... weak, feeble, and as incalculable as specks of dust. I may spend the rest of my life looking for your stars among them, but never finding them. Li Hao laughed ruefully, shaking his head. He looked up at the starry night, sensing the ripples coming from the other side. His eyes suddenly narrowed. Ying Hongyue might have done everything wrong, but there was one thing he’d been right about. The world had been plagued with disasters in the last couple of decades, of which those three bastards in the immaterial dao universe bore unpardonable guilt for! The great dao rippled at this time, affecting even the corporeal dao universe. The self-detonation of the three Empyrean Kings before had also shaken the corporeal dao universe. Li Hao looked ahead, finding that the god of Initial Martial had disappeared from Ash Mountain. The Red Moon exalted emperor hadn’t dared attack the young man when he sent out his replica because he wanted to seize the star of time, for one, and he was wary of the god and the blade, for two. Everything that Ying Hongyue had hoped to take place... did not. It never would’ve happened. Various thoughts floated into Li Hao’s mind. There was one goal today that he hadn’t accomplished—the heavenly will hadn’t shown itself, not even when he was surrounded by seven Empyrean Kings. It’d stayed away even when the star of time was present. Where had the heavenly will gone? Li Hao surveyed the surroundings, assessing each powerhouse that came into view. Was the heavenly will hiding in one of them? Did it think that the time wasn’t ripe yet? Or did it think that it would set foot into another one of Li Hao’s traps if it showed itself now? Various ideas presented themselves to him. The heavenly will remained very important in Silver Moon world. The benefits that it bestowed might be a hassle, but the trouble that it created could be very surprising. Luring it out of hiding had been one of Li Hao’s goals for today, but the heavenly will had not come! He looked around again. Clusters of stars shone overhead and his dao meridians continuously opened. He’d already increased his strength after absorbing his past and future selves. While that action hadn’t opened his meridians, he could’ve done so at any time. The stars hovering over him vibrated, making room for new additions. He was at 180 stars now! They formed five circulatory loops, almost spontaneously propelling him to fifth level Fused Dao the moment he killed Ying Hongyue! Not only that, but because the star of time had lingered for a prolonged period of time in the mental sea, it was stronger despite a devastating blow from Li Daoheng. The core of the Hao Moon Sword intent—the sword of time and the star of time—was likewise fortified. Sword intent that he’d been unable to consolidate before were also crafting their own stars. Li Hao took stock of the 188 different types of sword intent within the Eternal Sword. He’d only gathered one hundred types before—or rather, ninety-nine since the sword of time had’t been included. The move of one hundred sword daos also coalesced in an enhanced version. Everyone in the surroundings was sensing the movement of the great dao. Countless citizens of the Hao Moon Continent were waiting blankly. What was the situation now? Had the dao universe become one with the world? But because Li Hao hadn’t absorbed the energy from the Empyrean Kings he killed, permitting it to drift freely through the world instead, there was a denser concentration of energy in the environment. Yet if one was to say that the dao universe had melded into Silver Moon... even regular cultivators felt that the result wasn’t as awe-inspiring and imposing as they’d imagined it to be.
