“It looks like the heavens, earth, and world will not tolerate me devouring Silver Moon world,” Li Hao’s voice rang from the sky canopies again. “But I insist on being that person who defies the heavens!” His stern voice echoed through the world, shaking and shocking listeners. Did the heavens not permit this action? Li Hao was going to swallow the world since the great dao had not successfully descended upon Silver Moon! A brilliant moon appeared in the distance, swiftly followed by another. One was the queen, the other was the Moon God—still alive after numerous catastrophes. They were both stunned by what they heard. Li Hao wanted to devour the world? Damn it! Even the queen could sense that once the great dao incorporated Silver Moon into itself, the core of the world—the primary body of the moon—would be severely damaged! Heavenly will seemed to roil in the distance. It was built on the foundation of there being a world. Once the world was no more and just a hole left behind with no people, would the heavenly will still be called thus, assuming it continued to exist then? This was burning the boats! Li Hao was such a bastard, damn it! Combined with the thunder and lightning over Silver City, everyone believed that this was what Li Hao was up to. There was no way to not believe it. Such an immense disturbance was most likely to devour the world. The thunderclouds almost covered all of Silver Moon province—they were terrifying! Li Hao’s presence continued to build! He was now a giant thousands of meters tall. Chaos strength surged out of his body and his voice boomed like a bell, “Li Daoheng, Zheng Yu, and the heavenly will... I don’t care about you guys, I just want the corporeal dao universe and the Hao Cosmos Continent! “I’m going to take my people with me, they will live and die in the dao universe! Whether it is the star of time or Silver Moon world, you can have it all. I will seal away the dao universe after devouring the continent. From henceforth, you guys can fight among yourselves. I will no longer have anything to do with you!” Li Hao was being very sincere. “Do not think of stopping me. I will break the seal if you get in my way and ask the exalted emperor to make a move! Exalted Emperor of Red Moon, I only want one continent and the corporeal dao universe. They have nothing to do with you!” A crack slowly opened in the immaterial dao universe. Three figures could be glimpsed, but they did not emerge. “Do as you wish!” The Red Moon exalted emperor’s voice echoed through the world with a hint of mirth. Li Hao wanted to devour the world? That was no loss to the exalted emperor. It was Zheng Yu and Li Daoheng who wouldn’t be too happy if the young man succeeded. The heavenly will wouldn’t possibly agree either. The young man always liked to get up to new tricks! This one was causing quite a large disturbance. The mammoth patch of thunderclouds and shimmering bolts of lightning were also concerning. Would devouring the world result in a thunder tribulation from the chaos? As an exalted emperor, even in replica form, the Red Moon exalted emperor possessed keen eyes. This appeared to be a thunder tribulation that’d extended into Silver Moon from the chaos. Although it wasn’t an exalted emperor tribulation from New Martial, its might was still a sight to behold. Could it be that the world and chaos did not approve of Silver Moon being swallowed? This was strange! It seemed rather odd! All the same, this seemed to be the only possible explanation for the immense activity. The chaos, heavenly will, and world were not willing to let Silver Moon world become part of the dao universe! Permission was not given! The world shook even more as more stars came together. Some faint screams could be heard—the wails of the heavenly will being overburdened. This could not be permitted! At the same time, the immaterial dao universe continued to draw near, approaching the ground and seemingly ready to land among the mortal world. The man with a sword on his back watched impassively. Devour the world? How could that be permitted? And the key was, it looked like Li Hao was swallowing the world, but... also not, at the same time. In the distance, the gigantic Li Hao emanated faint chaos strength. That type of energy seemed different from what the long river of great dao exuded. Li Hao’s stars further integrated with each other one iota more. Thunder and lightning intensified in the sky; they stirred restlessly, ready to smite downward! “Is he... really devouring the world?” Li Daoheng suddenly asked. It didn’t really seem like it! “How much longer do you need?” Zheng Yu quietly watched Silver Moon world, a light flickering in his eyes. “Half an hour!” Li Daoheng replied softly. “I’m more worried about the thunder tribulation growing stronger. Will it break the Star Gate? This seems to be one from outside the gate, not one that’s grown from inside!” He looked around the premises, trying to find something. The heavenly will wouldn’t be able to sit still for much longer! If Li Hao accomplished his plan, then it would be lights out for the heavenly will. “Why don’t we send the heavenly will for a look...” Zheng Yu suddenly said. “You can control the heavenly will?” A figure materialized in the distance and closed the gap to Li Hao. It stopped at a noticeable distance away and hovered over the central continent. “Cease your actions, Li Hao!” it exhorted. “I will kill all of the humans in this world if you really do devour the Hao Cosmos Continent!” Immense strength unfurled in all directions and the heavenly will churned! It seemed to be howling with fury! Within the seven main cities, someone’s eyes flashed. “It really is him!” The ninth prince of Skystar Dynasty! It was that incredibly young prince, also He Yong’s disciple. He Yong had almost once made enemies out of all the Silver Moon martial masters for his sake! In the air, Li Hao was quite indifferent. The ninth prince? “Instead of learning from good examples, you learn from bad!” He smiled as he looked into the distance. The ninth prince’s presence billowed commandingly—he was also a Fused Dao cultivator. “Li Hao!” He gnashed his teeth together. “Skystar belongs to my Jiang family, not you! You’ve already poisoned and bewitched the people’s minds, now you’re going to take ten billion people with you on a death march! “There is nothing within the dao universe and nothing can grow there! Endless casualties will mount when the Skystar continent enters it! You are truly so vicious and heartless! You’re going to kill ten billion citizens for the sake of completing your dao!” “Citizens of Skystar, I am of Skystar royal family!” The ninth prince addressed the people. “Li Hao has done the exact opposite of what he should do, drawing ire from the heavens and life itself! This thunder and lightning is a cataclysm to end him! “He reached his current heights purely through everyone’s faith and worship! Li Hao will find no success if you cease to believe in him. He wants to bring us into the dao universe, but that is a domain in which nothing can live. We will be plunged into extremely perilous circumstances once we enter the dao universe. At least ninety-nine percent of us will die!” These words drew unease from the entire continent. “The Jiangs were decrepit and corrupt,” Li Hao refuted calmly. “I spared you out of consideration for Martial Uncle Southern Fist. How dare you collude with the heavenly will and cause trouble now? Do you think that I am unable to kill you?” “I must expose you for who you truly are even if I die for it!” The ninth prince ground his teeth. “Li Hao, you have gone mad in your bid to verify your dao! Dare you say that no one will die over the course of swallowing the world? You are seeking your own destruction! “Your actions attract even half step emperors and exalted emperors. Li Hao, the world will be at peace only when you die. Those powerhouses will not raise a hand against ordinary citizens!” The ninth prince looked at the premier powerhouses in the sky. “Senior Zheng, Senior Li, do you have the desire to annihilate the world?” Zheng Yu laughed softly, the sound echoing through the land. “Why would we? We would’ve done so long ago if we wanted to. What is the point in killing regular people? No matter who rules the world, they need a population to rule over. Would a world be a world otherwise? No, it wouldn’t!” Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel~fire~net “Does everyone hear that?” The prince’s voice rose to a crescendo and reverberated throughout the world. “Li Hao, you’re a demon! You forsake tens of billions of lives in pursuit of personal gain! How are you still able to show your face and wield the myriad of daos in the world??” The heavenly will shook, sweeping through the land and affecting people’s hearts. It remained highly skilled in this area. Li Hao watched it silently; the ninth prince probably wasn’t the heavenly will’s only bet. How interesting! The young man was as if a primordial giant as he hovered over Silver City and looked at the ninth prince from afar. He smiled at the person denouncing him as a sinner, a villain. Apparently, Li Hao wanted to lead everyone to their deaths! The prince stood at the peak of morality to condemn Li Hao. One had to say, he was smarter than those who’d come before him. He wanted to use this method to force Li Hao to abandon devouring the idea of devouring the world. But with how far the situation had progressed, could it be changed by just a few words? “I spared your life on account of Martial Uncle Southern Fist. Not only are you not grateful for it, but you collude with the heavenly will instead to create uproar and unrest! You deserve to be executed for attempting to brainwash the people! “Since martial uncle is no more... you should go keep him company!” The young man’s voice was as calm as ever. The ninth prince’s face twitched and he set his jaw. “Li Hao! Collude with the heavenly will?! What a joke! This world was ruled by the heavenly will to begin with! Those who adhere to it will ascend, those who defy it will die! You are the one who proceeds against the heavens! “As for He Yong...” The prince ground his teeth. “The world belonged to the Jiangs to begin with. My family fed and sheltered him for twenty years. Not only was he not grateful, but he turned on his master instead! Li Hao, don’t you find your words hilarious?!” He didn’t dare come close to Li Hao and could only rage at the approaching young man. “If you dare come close to me, I’ll sink the entire continent rather than let it fall into your hands and let you lead them into death!” “How interesting...” Li Hao smiled. “I lead people to death if I take them to the dao universe, but you’re somehow the side of justice when you threaten me with life itself. All logic and reason is on your side. I ask the people of the world, are you willing to accompany this ninth prince in pursuit of death?” “We are not!!” The world roared with the people’s response. Mountains toppled and earth fissured open! Unending cries rose and fell. This world was no longer what it’d once been! The people’s minds had been opened for a year. Everyone was literate, attended school, learned martial dao, and prosperity reigned! It was no longer the situation that the ninth prince once thought it was! His identity as a Jiang prince wasn’t worth anything and innumerable yells echoed, “Down with the feudal remnants!” “Kill the surviving Jiang dogs!” “Down with the old customs!” “......” Shouts and snarls rang through the world. Did those royal bastards still think life was as it’d always been? Did they think it was still a time of their rule?! Everything had long since changed!
