The black and white spiraling sword-lights stirred apart all obstructions and plunged straight for Li Siye. The sword-lights contained the air of having melded “Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow” into one, forming a Heaven Earth Dark Yellow Skill. Legend said that it required two individuals to understand one another perfectly in order to be comprehended. In Star World, only Primordial Star Names with the Three Heavenly Books could achieve it by way of some form of contract. Other Star Generals, like first-rate God Of Slaughter Bai Qi, for example, could not possibly comprehend one. A Heaven Earth Dark Yellow Skill surpassed Heaven Ranks and were a legend among Star General legends.
Suddenly sensing the air of a Heaven Earth Dark Yellow Skill, even Li Siye’s expression changed.
The woman did not hesitate to draw “Xi” and unleash a swift torrent of saber-light. The hundred zhang of space before Li Siye instantly became inconceivable fragments visible to the naked eye, like a shattered mirror. These fragments were a scorching red, a radiance like that of magma, surging with million degree heat along her blade.
These fragments of space were no less potent than the void sea of stars’ “void black hole”; they were sufficient to destroy even an entire army.
Astonishingly, this was the Mystical Blade God’s Earth Rank, “Divine Tears Of Blood.”
The Stars Are No Longer Like Last Night slammed into Divine Tears Of Blood, issuing a hair-raising collision. Countless spatial fragments shuddered. Both the black and white sword-lights and the saber-light were entirely submerged.
The spatial fragments became nothingness while the black and white sword-lights became two girls dressed in black and white, virtually identical in appearance. The one dressed in white was ice-cold and graceful, the black spirited and rebellious.
Li Siye took a step back. The edge of “Xi” was still quivering, making her palms numb.
“Huh, she was able to block even a Heaven Earth Dark Yellow Skill.” The black-skirted girl’s jaw hung agape in disbelief.
Li Siye sensed from them Primordial Star Energy. Were they Star Generals who obtained the Star Energy of a Primordial True Spirit? The woman did not utter a word and swung her blade. The black and white twins became sword-lights, their bodies changing into swords that clashed with Li Siye.
“Body like a sword, a power of the Ou Clan?” Li Siye’s eyes did not blink. She swiftly brandished her sword.
Saber-light sliced apart space layer by layer.
“Li Siye, take this.” Chen Qinghan also launched a sneak attack at this time. Her spear was like snow, firing a stunning spear-light. Add on the black and white twins’ sword-bodies and Yang Su’s Great Void Weaving Fate, Li Siye was surprisingly unable to escape.
“Die, all of you!!”
Without fluster, Li Siye elegantly used her heaven Rank.
Thereupon, Heaven and Earth lost all meaning under her blade.
Qiankun Slash!
…
Heaven’s nine doors reveal the palace and its courtyards, and the coats of many countries bow to the Pearl Crown.1
The Sun And Moon Star Kingdom’s Great Ming Palace was one of Star World’s Nine Palaces. It occupied a space of more than a thousand hectares. The top of the halls reached for the Nine Heavens, plucking the sun and moon. In truth, this enormous palace was an imitation of the Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom’s All Things Heavenly Palace. Zhu Xiaoxiang had once lived for an extended period of time in the Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom. Because of her expertise in the great sage’s sermons, she entered the All Things Heavenly Palace many times, so she was also quite aware of the Great Ming Palace.
Zhu Xiaoxiang arrived at the Great Ming Palace’s highest floor. The last dozen Uniform Brocade Guard had been killed by him.
The top floor was a pagoda-style room. If memory served, this building should be like the Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom’s, the center of the Great Ming Palace. In other words, the location of the Great Ming Palace’s defensive array eye. Generally speaking, a large-scale magic circle’s array required powerful treasures to protect it. As far as the Great Ming Palace, one of the Nine Palaces, was concerned, such treasures absolutely were Universe Eternity Spirit Treasures.
Star Generals could ignore Universe Eternity Spirit Treasures, but to a cultivator, even just one of these was sufficient to equal a Star General’s Destined Star Weapon.
As expected, Zhu Xiaoxiang found the treasure of the array eye – the Destined Star Weapon that killed “Brocade Dragon Emperor” Zhu Di, a beautiful dagger named “Yongle.” Zhu Xiaoxiang circulated his Star Energy and seized this dagger. The moment his finger touched the weapon, all of a sudden, a power on the dagger flooded his fingertips. This power was linked to the all of the Great Ming Palace’s defensive arrays. An image entered Zhu Xiaoxiang’s mind.
“Sun And Moon True Dragon” Zhu Yuanzhang, in collusion with someone from the School Of Diplomacy, had left the Great Ming Palace and traveled towards the Shatuo Star Kingdom’s main Star Field, the Shatuo Star Field.
“Huh?” Zhu Xiaoxiang was astonished. This information was a bit unexpected.
“Why has Zhu Yuanzhang gone to the Shatuo Star Kingdom. This is bad, I must immediately inform Su Mian.” The man thought to himself and immediately descended the pagoda.
…
Ming City. Above the Ten Thousand Sages Hall, Li Shimin was still locked in a fierce battle with Tuoba Tao. Both sides contested bitterly, practically reducing the surrounding ten thousand li into scorched earth. Below this battle there were several significant powers sitting idly by, as if watching a show, with incoming Star Energy being neutralized.
The last of the Sun And Moon Star Kingdom’s Twin Dragons, “Eternal Victory Everywhere” Chang Yuchun, currently had both her hands bound, showing the appearance one who had been defeated.
“Chang Yuchun!! This Palace shall give you another chance. Where is Zhu Yuanzhang!”
Su Mian sternly question.
Chang Yuchun was silent.
“Do you truly wish to shield Zhu Jiujiu’s efforts to defile Star World??” Su Mian’s tone dropped.
Dong Zhongshu also urged: “Chang Yuchun, as you are a famous general, you should not taint your Star Name. Divulge Zhu Yuanzhang’s whereabouts, and you will leave a principled reputation in the history books.”
“Please pardon this crime, Your Majesty!” Chang Yuchun was more resolute than they had imagined.
Su Mian’s face was covered in frost. She originally was a bit reluctant against a famous general like her, but this continued obstinance made Dream In A Millennium a bit furious. “Zhu Yuanzhang slaughtered the sages. What virtue or ability does such a vicious person have to make you, Eternal Victory Everywhere, lose brilliance to follow her instead.”
Chang Yuchun lowered her head, not daring to meet Su Mian’s eyes.
“Expel the ten thousand stars, restore the Great Ming.” Su Mian spat out each word, ice-cold: “Zhu Jiujiu can only be referring to expelling This Palace.”
“Su Mian.”
At this time, Zhu Xiaoxiang hurried over in a panic.
“I know where Zhu Yuanzhang went.”
His words immediately caught everyone’s attention.
“Where did she go?” Su Mian asked.
“I fear Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of our assault on the Ten Thousand Sages Hall. She was extracted by someone from the School Of Diplomacy.” Zhu Xiaoxiang said: “She makes for the Shatuo Star Field as we speak.”
“What?”
Further away, the Thirteen Adopted Daughters were taken aback. Li Cunxu coldly asked: “Say that again.”
“Zhu Jiujiu should be fleeing towards the Shatuo Star Field.” Zhu Xiaoxiang calmly answered.
“Li Cunxu, what is the meaning of this? Is Li Keyong party to this?” Su Mian was extremely displeased right now.
The Thirteen Adopted Daughters immediately knelt to show their loyalty.
“Master Mother would never have any sort of collusion with Zhu Yuanzhang.”
“I fear there is something strange about this.” Dong Zhongshu said.
“Dongzi, we need you to activate your Innate Skill and Heaven Rank right now to search for Zhu Yuanzhang.” Su Mian entreated that Dong Zhongshu’s Innate Skill Heaven And Man Interaction to be capable of linking to a Star General in the mind at any time. She also had a Heaven Rank named “Descent Of The Son Of Heaven,” which was capable of finding any Star Name in the nine thousand Star Fields and tracking it.
Dong Zhongshu wrinkled her brow. She had already used a Heaven Rank and was not willing to use another. Although Descent Of The Son Of Heaven was capable of finding any Star Name, the cost was vast. Right now, she needed to store Star Energy to make her Star Name eternal.
“Zhu Yuanzhang killed the Seven Sages and desires to refine the Great Ming. Right now, her conspiracies are errant. Dongzi, will you be unconcerned, watching her refine the Great Ming to completion?” As the Master Of Heaven And Man, everyone watched Dongzi’s decision.
Dong Zhongshu stared deeply at Su Mian. She knew that she was already unable to refuse at this time. If she did, she could become the target of everyone’s criticism, and her Confucianism’s reputation would drop.
“Very well, then!”
Dong Zhongshu opened her eyes, and her pupils shifted about, releasing light. In but an instant, she had located Zhu Yuanzhang’s Star Name.
“This is not good. She is indeed at the Shatuo Star Field…Zhu Yuanzhang wants to kill Li Keyong to refine the Great Ming.” Dongzi was astonished.
Everyone gasped.
Li Keyong was categorized as a very lazy character among the Sixteen Star Marquis, likely because at her side were powerful Star Names the likes of Li Cunxu. Her cultivation of Purple Rose Qi was also very passive, and in terms of strength, she was not much stronger than Wu Zhao. But she was in possession of powerful Star Energy and Purple Rose Qi. If Zhu Yuanzhang obtained her Star Energy, the Great Ming would perhaps actually be completed.
Ten Thousand Sages Hall, Great Ming, School Of Diplomacy…
Scene after scene flew through Su Mian’s mind.
“Zhu Yuanzhang actually tricked us.” Su Mian promptly ordered: “Everyone, we immediately set out for the Shatuo Star Kingdom!!”
“Elder Sister.” The Thirteen Adopted Daughters looked to Li Cunxu.
“We return with all haste!” Li Cunxu did not hesitate to issue the command.
“Sister Ziyan, Li Xiaoxiang, bring Chang Yuchun to the Central Star Field. This Palace will deal with her later.” Su Mian saw Li Shimin and Tuoba Tao were still fighting above. “Zhu Xi, stay here and watch over them. We cannot allow Zhu Yuanzhang to obtain the Ten Thousand Sages Hall again.”
Liu Che lost interest in fighting Wu Zhao once Zhu Yuanzhang’s location was obtained. After injuring the Holy Divine Goddess, she then leisurely departed the battlefield. The Holy Divine Goddess did not dare pursue, so as to avoid falling into even greater trouble. She could only stare at her with eyes full of hate.
Su Mian swiftly and decisively issued her orders. Very quickly, the battleships over Ming City embarked from the Star Field.
All of the Star Generals rushed for the Shatuo Star Kingdom with all their might.
In a matter of moments, only Li Shimin, Tuoba Tao and Wu Zhao were left in Ming City, locked in a standoff.
“Zhu Yuanzhang is not dead yet. You were too hasty just now, Tuoba Tao. You had best cease, so as to avoid injuring both sides and allow her to take advantage of us.” Li Liangyi put particular emphasis on the latter sentence, her meaning clear.
“Buddha-killing Ghost” Tuoba Tao was covered in evil qi. She had always worked as she pleased without anything to restrain her.
“Your Servant agrees with your perspective, so you may as well just allow Your Servant to refine this first?” Tuoba Tao snickered.
White Fiend Divine General Qin Qiong Qin Niyan sneered, “Tuoba Tao, the Heavenly Khan has given you a bright path. Do not be too conceited.”
“Two of your Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom’s Three Genius Law Protectors have gone to Mount Hua and the last remains in the Star Kingdom. If this was before, Your Servant could consider your opinion. However, at the moment, Your Servant need not fear your Lingyan Pavilion’s Star Name.” Tuoba Tao had long wanted to use this chance to clip Li Shimin’s wings, so this time, she had brought all of the Xianbei Star Kingdom’s Star Names.
So long as she destroyed Li Shimin, the feat of destroying Buddhism would be close at hand.
“Fine, We will teach you a lesson on behalf of the Central Star Field.” Li Liangyi was expressionless. From out of thin air, she drew an exquisite long sword.
Once this sword appeared, there was a beam of light that split Heaven and Earth. From this light that illuminated the three worlds, the sword took on a yellow-orange hue, as if cast from antiquity. Its qi was biting cold, penetrating to the bone.
On it, were nine incomparably blinding stars, like a vortex of nine Star Fields. Even the Three Worlds dimmed in comparison.
And even one of the Four Sages of Confucianism Zhu Xi was incapable of staring directly at this sword’s brilliance and grandeur.
“I never expected Li Shimin to have actually refined her Star Weapon ‘Pan’ to the ultimate Nine Star.” Zhu Xi was flabbergasted, and she quivered.
Tuoba Tao was stunned. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling.
