All of Silver Moon seemed to be enveloped by the mental world. Li Hao sneered and walked into the void. A star of time twinkled there, hovering in and out of sight. “The mental world can stop the thunderbolts, the inner world can capture it. Then what if I turn all of Silver Moon into my inner world?” Li Hao laughed and roared at the sky. “How about I transform into this world’s heavenly will? When I am the world, you can just try smiting me to death!” The star of time exploded and the mental world expanded furiously. The mental sea sloshed violently! Li Hao blotted out the sky with one hand, broke through the void, and grabbed a person. The queen looked silently at him while she dangled from his hand. Li Hao looked back at her as well and said calmly, “Lend me the strength of the moon and the fragments of the heavenly will. Today, I will become the heavenly will and rule over the world. I will return them to you if I am successful!” There was no sign of her former rage or fear, just a faint frown on her face. She nodded, extending tendrils of lunar strength toward Li Hao’s crumbling world. A small sword also coalesced in the sky. Li Hao leered, grabbing the fragile sword before the next thunderbolt landed. “Since I can’t escape from this, then... we can all play together!” he murmured. His physical body crumbled away as he transformed into massive stars that landed in the world! Deep holes pitted the land as the stars exploded. “You...” Zheng Yu jerked with shock. The young man had become the heavenly will and wanted to refine all of Silver Moon! Or rather, he was combining himself with the world so he could become the heavenly will. By then, he would be Silver Moon and Silver Moon would be him! This had not been Li Hao’s plan! This had been no one’s plan. It was the deeply resigned actions of a young man deep in despair! Li Hao wanted to have the others suffer the same trial that he was undergoing. Once he was the heavenly will, all of these people would count as part of him since they lived in this world. The thunder and lightning would become his aid instead; they would attack everyone present! However, this was not the outcome that Li Hao wanted. His goal had been to create an inner world, one of his body. But now, he had no choice but to become Silver Moon’s heavenly will. The ties between him and this world would be hard to sever then, and that wasn’t key. He didn’t mind the connection between him and Silver Moon, just that they would very much complicate his future plans! But he had to do so if he wanted to survive the day! He hadn’t had a good candidate to integrate with the star of time before, but now, he did. He could integrate himself! I will be time, the heavenly will, the core of my own dao. I will be the key connection between the corporeal and immaterial daos. “Fuck this shit!” Li Hao cursed, looking up at the sky. I once said that I don’t want what the Sword Sovereign doesn’t want. But today, I have no choice but to accept it. It was one thing if he succeeded or not—this was an unbearable result no matter what. The path that I planned has been disrupted once again. The critical part is... I once said that I would have Panth be the heavenly will. But look at me now, in such a hurry to fill the spot. I’m fighting a dog for a position! “I become the world!” Blood sprayed through the sky as his physical body exploded and stars crashed into the ground! Whether it was Zheng Yu, Li Daoheng, or the Red Moon exalted emperor, all three powerhouses blinked momentarily before rushing for the careening stars! Li Hao could not be permitted to succeed! If things were as the young man said and he became the heavenly will, then wouldn’t all of them have to face the chaos tribulation? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵 Lin Hongyu’s eyes brightened from her former look of hopelessness. “Kill!” she roared. Unbounded power exploded from her body as she recovered to peak condition. She rushed Li Daoheng, seeing the Great Li king and Zhang An erupt in the distance as well. Zheng Yu frowned, breaking the projection of the book of dao with a crack of his whip! He ignored Zhang An, choosing to punch the closest star in the sky! Li Hao wanted to become the heavenly will! That hadn’t been a possibility in anyone’s minds, not even Li Hao’s, much less theirs. A river of chaos appeared, blocking his fist. Zheng Yu’s punches came with the momentum of shattering the world, breaking the firmament, and sending a million stars crashing down from the heavens! A cosmos expanded in the void. A person appeared in front of the Red Moon exalted emperor when he was about to obliterate some stars. Celestial Pole looked up at the sky, then stepped in front of the other. He ignored the exalted emperor and raised his eyebrow at above. “You... owe me one for this!” With that, Celestial Pole struck! He whirled around and delivered a punch. He didn’t use the blade of blood, just his fists. The void sank into oblivion when their fists met. “If he really does succeed, the tribulation won’t target only me,” growled the Red Moon exalted emperor. “You’ll be within range as well!” “So?” Celestial Pole was unmoved. “This seat is only here in replica form, so what if I die? Not to mention, your primary body might be included if he becomes the heavenly will. Are you afraid of a mere immature chaos tribulation? “Perhaps you’ll be able to break the seal if you weather the tribulation. Zheng Yu and Li Daoheng are in a panic, but what are you frantic for?” Celestial Pole smiled. The exalted emperor blinked, those words made sense. Celestial Pole ignored him and looked up at the sky. “Becoming the heavenly will... means completely tying yourself to Silver Moon,” he murmured. “Your accomplishments will be limited!” Your accomplishments will be limited! He seemed to be saying that being the heavenly will of a minor world was insignificant. Li Hao was suffering an immense loss from his decision. Attracting a chaos tribulation was a sign of unparalleled potential, but if he became the heavenly will, then the best he could be was the master of a world. And yet, Celestial Pole could think of no better way either. It was already good enough that Li Hao could think of a response at this moment. In crucial times like these, every second was of major importance. It was already first-rate adaptability that Li Hao could think of becoming the heavenly will and encompassing the world so that everyone would have to suffer the tribulation with him. All the same, Celestial Pole found it a bit of a pity. He thought quite highly of Li Hao! But the young man was incredibly unlucky to encounter this thing. He couldn’t face it, so he had to self-detonate his body, become the great dao, meld into the world, and be the meridian of the world. It looked impressive, but it meant that the tiny Silver Moon world was very likely to be Li Hao’s prison from now on. It would be such a pity even if he won this battle! Not to mention, Celestial Pole could see that Li Hao had retreated from the dao universe. He wasn’t even a master of dao anymore. He would be a master of the world at best, which meant his future accomplishments would be even more humble! He would be an ordinary exalted emperor at his peak. It was an untouchable height to others, but quite a pity to a favored genius of the age. The chaos universe was not short on exalted emperors. The Red Moon guy was one, and so was himself. If Li Hao’s greatest accomplishment was to be an ordinary exalted emperor... what good was that for? Stars continued to crash into the land and melt into Silver Moon. Overwhelming force rose from the world as Li Hao’s body disassembled in all directions! The chaos tribulation seemed to lose sight of its target. The next thunderbolt didn’t land, but it continued to attempt to lock onto someone. A brilliant moon rose in the void, transforming into the star of time. Li Hao’s river of time slowly appeared. A person walked out of it—Li Hao. He set foot into the star of time, becoming one with it after an explosive roar! A small sword circled around Li Hao; the young man also became one with it. His presence immediately filled the void and he said slowly, “You sever my future... establishing a feud of severing my dao... How detestable, damnable, and reprehensible!” Deep resentment wreathed each of the countless Li Haos that appeared all over the world. They became shadowy figures that melted into the void. The power of the world rose in Li Hao’s body, as did 180 stars rise into the sky again. It was like the mental world, but everything had changed. This mental world no longer belonged to him alone. It belonged to everyone and all life. The mental world had become part of Silver Moon. Stars appeared and each of them were lit anew. Ones that’d been extinguished before twinkled with new light! One star, two stars, three stars... 160 stars were illuminated! It wasn’t until now that the chaos tribulation managed to lock onto Li Hao again. The fifth thunderbolt raced toward the star of time that he was a part of! But whether it was Zheng Yu, Li Daoheng, or the Red Moon exalted emperor... they suddenly frowned. In the void, Li Hao was a star that loomed over the world. He emanated radiance like a god of the world. “All together now!” he chuckled. Countless bolts of thunder and lightning manifested in the air. A small thunderbolt appeared over the heads of those that Li Hao was targeting. Destructive power wafted through the air and the others cursed to themselves. How could the young man have become the heavenly will so quickly? It had something to do with the heavenly will dying earlier. They weren’t the only ones targeted—some others elsewhere also blinked with surprise when a thunderbolt appeared over their heads. The central continent. Despair dawned in the eyes of a young man. He looked at the thunder and lightning over his head and muttered, “Damn it...” “Why has it come for you?” gasped a woman next to him. “Senior sister... I... am heaven favored as well.” The young man laughed wryly as his presence built. “I want to avenge master, so I accepted its favor. Not to mention, I don’t have the ability to defy it either. Part of the heavenly will remained when Li Hao killed it. Now that he is the heavenly will, everyone that the heavens once favored will become a target!” Beside him, a woman that shared the same name as Hong Yitang’s wife was horrorstricken. “Idiot!” She gnashed her teeth. “Can you fight him? How dare you accept the heavenly will’s olive branch! Everyone knows that he’s even harder to handle than the heavens!” They were the disciples of the Qimei Staff King. The young man looked on ruefully. “I know, but... I want to grow stronger. Master passed his heritage to senior sister, not me. I wanted... to be the same...” He’d been relieved that Li Hao hadn’t discovered him when the heavenly will died, and that the ninth prince had been the feint. But now, the tribulation had locked onto him! He wasn’t the only one.
