All Things Heavenly Palace.
After Li Liangyi bathed, just as maids were putting on her garments and armor, a heavenly, alluring woman slowly walked in from the door. A garland sat atop the woman’s head, and her hair was a rosy red. Each strand seemed to absorb the essence of hundreds of flowers, and they were extremely bright.
The woman’s cheeks were pink, and her eyes contained a luminous glint. Those bright eyes seemed capable of drawing in a person’s soul, her every frown and smile able to captivate all creatures.
With a faint hint, the woman took the maids’ silk to replace Li Liangyi’s armor. Gorgeous golden tassels moved between the maids’ fingers, like a butterfly through a meadow, beautiful to watch.
“Yingsu,1 why are you not resting in the palace.” “Eternal Divine Warrior” Li Shimin shut her eyes and contented herself with the young lady’s service. In all the world, only these fingers could bring her such unmatched splendor.
This woman was the Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom’s star as well as Li Liangyi’s most beloved person. She was also one of the Seven Beauties of Star World, Plump Beauty of Fire, “Imperial Consort Of Bashful Flowers” Yang Yuhuan.
“Liangyi will personally enter battle. How can Yang Yuhuan remain aloof within the inner palace.” Yang Yingsu’s tone was touching, every word filled with an implicit charm. “Yuhuan never imagined that Zhu Yuanzhang would surprisingly revolt so openly. Liangyi, you must be careful.”
Li Liangyi sunk into contemplation.
“En. Zhu Jiujiu is a brainless bitch. We are not surprised that she is the first to rebel, but We heard she actually had the audacity to kill the Seven Sages Of The Bamboo Grove in front of tens of thousands of Star Generals. She honestly makes Us feel disappointment.”
Among the Sixteen Star Marquis, she was the only one capable of proving a match for Sun And Moon True Dragon Zhu Yuanzhang. Originally, she waited for someday in the future where they could duel in earnest and sort out who among them was the true Divine Warrior or True Dragon. She never imagined that this Sun And Moon True Dragon would surprisingly make her move first, incurring the wrath of all under Heaven. Even Dongzi was required to subjugate her.
“Her Highness Su Mian is also truly shrewd. Dongzi originally wanted to seize the chance to eradicate Mount Hua, yet who could have imagined that she would instead be exploited to temporarily quell the Mount Hua crisis.” Yang Yingsu was aware of the past few days’ events, too.
“En, she is the blood of a Primordial Star Name, after all. Su Mian is unfathomable, not to be underestimated.” Li Liangyi was pensive.
“They say that Zhu Yuanzhang’s revolt is the result of her obtaining the Universe Eternity Spirit Treasure Ten Thousand Sages Hall. Furthermore, she has already nearly refined it into the Great Ming. No wonder Su Mian is in a rush to convene all the Star Marquis and swiftly root out that bitch. If she waits for Zhu Jiujiu to completely refine the Great Ming, the Central Star Field will likely be torn asunder, given the Sun And Moon True Dragon’s callous personality. How frightening.”
Li Liangyi nodded. Indeed, this was so.
Zhu Yuanzhang started the precedent, and Su Mian made the pretense of seizing the Star Marquis Seal. If the Central Star Field merely seized the Star Marquis Seal, that would be fine, but should it fall to another Star Marquis’ hands, there would inevitably be a second Zhu Yuanzhang.
Su Mian was not just a pretty face. She had surely weighed the benefits and detriments of the situation very clearly.
Ostensibly, this was an armed suppression on Zhu Yuanzhang, but in actuality, this was the beginning of the end for the Central regime.
“Yingsu, have you something to say?”
Yang Yingsu helped tidy her hair and exhaled softly: “Now that Mount Hua stands on Su Mian’s side, she must want to use the Zhu Yuanzhang matter to stall for time. Your Majesty, why not seize the chance to destroy Mount Hua while she is unable to extricate herself?”
“Seize this chance to destroy Mount Hua?” Li Liangyi wrinkled her brow.
“Yes. Mount Hua should die, anyways. Dongzi is also in support of this.” Yang Yuhuan smiled.
“The Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows is currently at Mount Hua. Your Majesty can secretly dispatch someone to instigate her.”
“Yang Guang loathes Mount Hua to the bone. If Your Majesty persuades her, I believe that Yang Guang will be willing to attack first and worry about consequences later.”
Li Liangyi faintly grinned: “Truly as expected of Our favored concubine. You plan very thoroughly.”
“To share Your Majesty’s burdens is the duty of Your Servant.” Yang Yuhuan showed a bashful expression.
The Heavenly Palace’s myriad flowers all paled in comparison to her charm.
Having finished donning her armor, Li Shimin brimmed with a noble and domineering aura from head to toe. On her brow was an overbearing heroic air.
This was a woman that would make people all too willing to prostrate themselves at her feet.
Yang Yuhuan’s heart pounded even faster.
“We shall dispatch people to make contact with Dong Zhongshu and Yang Guang. Yuhuan, go inform Li Siye to go to Mount Hua. Although Guo Ziyi is at Mount Hua, We do not want any mishaps.” Li Liangyi was aware that the roots of Daoism ran deep. There were still Liu Xiu and Liu Che backing them, so a single fatal strike was necessary. Nothing could be left to chance.
Before Su Mian could sense it, they must eliminate Mount Hua as swiftly as passing thunder.
“Your Servant obeys.”
Exiting the Heavenly Palace, Li Liangyi arrived in front of her troops.
“Your Majesty!!” A tall, slender, god-like woman saluted.
“Li Jing, is the army prepared?” Li Liangyi asked.
“Already prepared. They only await your command, Your Majesty.”
“There is no need for such a large formation to go subjugate Zhu Yuanzhang.” Li Liangyi looked over the massive army. The black-armored soldiers were arranged like long dragons. The black formation was like a storm cloud about to blot out the sky.
These Black Armored Soldiers were the Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom’s famous Star Soldiers. Ten thousand of these could fight evenly against True Phoenix First Stage, a hundred thousand with True Phoenix Second Stage. Even a Divine Phoenix Realm Star General would need to be fearful when fighting ten million Black Armored Soldiers.
These Black Armored Soldiers were meticulously raised by the Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom. To lose even one would be disastrous. Li Liangyi did not want to waste this army helping the Central Star Field, so she would have to step up personally.
“Order Li Siye to lead one million Black Armored Soldiers to Mount Hua. As for the others, they will follow Us into battle.”
Li Shimin flatly issued her orders.
“As you command.”
A “Great Thousand Heavenly Palace Battleship” emerged from empty space. Yang Yuhuan watched the Heavenly Tang’s army set out, and she instantly altered the charm in her eyes.
“Rich in beauty is the land that has made countless heroes bow. Those who are outstanding look to this age…” Yang Yingsu softly recited. She let out a beautifully long sigh. This poem was truly good.
How many insufferably arrogant Star Names have fallen for this land of Star World.
She truly was very eager to see how this “rosy cheeks disaster” would be recorded in history.
But no matter what, in Star World’s new era, she, Yang Yuhuan, would inevitably leave behind her name.
She would just quietly watch history unfold then.
“Anyone there.”
A maid quietly walked in.
“Imperial Consort.”
“Fetch Li Guinian to play this ‘Spring Snow Seeping Into The Land’ for This Palace. This Palace wants to practice dancing.”
…
Earthly Phoenix Palace.
Chen Mo swiftly dashed through the long and narrow underground tunnel. All of a sudden, he heard a bird’s cry. The tunnel suddenly glowed with purple light, and the nine birds appeared in front of him.
“Phoenix draws in nine chicks?” Chen Mo noticed at a glance.
The nine chicks flapped their wings towards Chen Mo, and ray after ray of purple wind and cold light scratched Chen Mo’s face.
Chen Mo circulated Star Energy, and he brought out his sinister iron rod.
“What kind of weapon is this, it truly is ugly.” Xiang Yu twitched her mouth. She was known as the Hegemon King, but this man’s weapon was far more tyrannical compared to her. It was without any beauty to speak of, as if this was an iron rod that concentrated brute force.
The only redeeming feature were the Star Stones embedded in it as a finishing touch.
Chen Mo swung the staff.
Astral wind blew and rolled through the tunnel. His attack contained the power of the White Tiger, which was fierce beyond comparison. The Nine Chicks’ purple qi was completely unable to approach.
The Nine Chicks did not panic. They assumed a formation and obstructed Chen Mo’s advance.
“They are stalling for time.” Xiang Yu said.
Chen Mo grunted. The Northern Dipper Staff let out a tiger’s howl. The White Tiger’s specter charged forth, and at the same time, a Bagua formation appeared in the tunnel.
Qian Three Links, Kun Six Severed, Li Center Empty…
The Bagua emerged in succession, ray after ray of Star Energy carving perfect Bagua patterns into the tunnel’s walls. Eight of the Nine Chicks were struck by the Bagua, and they broke apart in succession, becoming a fading mist.
The power of the White Tiger was the power of a Four Symbols Holy Beast. How could the Nine Chicks be a match.
The last surviving chick, the great peng, was subsequently destroyed by the staff as well.
Before he could catch his breath, he spotted five lights appear ahead of him. The Yellow Partridge, Green Luan, Red Phoenix, White Goose, and Black Yuezhuo. They were the awe-inspiring Five Divine Birds.
“What thoughts could be this powerful.” Chen Mo stopped to look at what lay before him, his brow slightly furrowed.
“Wang Mang’s. Heavenly Phoenix Earthly Emperor’s thoughts feed directly into the Divine Birds. This King heard that they are her most beloved projections. That is why she constructed a mausoleum for the Vermilion Bird, the king of birds.” Xiang Yu propped up her chin.
The Five Divine Birds were beyond comparison to the Nine Chicks.
Even if they were thoughts, they bore Wang Mang’s Purple Rose True Qi and even the power of a True Phoenix Realm Star General.
If she used her tyrannical power, Xiang Yu could blast one apart with a single punch, but she was incapable at the current moment. “Hey, why are you not doing anything?” Xiang Yu asked.
She lowered her head to look, and the girl showed surprise.
Chen Mo suddenly seemed to have entered meditation. His entire person calmed, and his breathing was steady. The Alpha Ursae Majoris Saber hung at his waist, and his thumb rested on the guard.
The Five Divine Birds suddenly attacked. Chen Mo smoothly drew the saber, as naturally as a fish back in water or a bird took to the skies.
Saber-light flashed.
A pale white saber-light like ten thousand years of ice and frost covered the tunnel. Even draped in the Heavenly Silkworm Snow Brocade, Xiang Yu still felt bone-chilling cold.
No Snow Under Heaven!!
The Five Divine Birds were injured by No Snow Under Heaven, but this was insufficient to destroy the Purple Rose thoughts. Chen Mo’s forehead Star Crest glowed. He brandished the Northern Dipper Staff and leapt forth, immediately attacking with A Gentleman Is Invincible.
He passed by like a graceful gentleman on a stroll. The Five Divine Birds instantly were destroyed by the staff’s surplus of power.
At the end of the tunnel was a heavy copper gate more than ten thousand catties in weight and integrated into the palace hall. This place should be the resting place of the Vermilion Bird in the Earthly Phoenix Palace.
“En, this is the Crimson Copper Divine Gate.” Xiang Yu knew from a glance this gate would be a problem. Unless she used the power of the hegemon right now, even a Divine Phoenix Realm Star General’s Star Energy would need time to force the gate open.
Just as she hesitated, Xiang Yu suddenly saw Chen Mo clench his fist.
“Hey, don’t be stupid. This gate is refined from ‘Nine Prefectures Divine Crimson Copper.’2 It is the foundation of this palace. Forcing it open will make you injure yourself.” Xiang Yu promptly moved to stop him. Only that kind of extremely powerful Purple Rose Star General could force this gate open. If she tried to do so, she would instead harm herself severely, or even end up splattering her blood over it.
Nine Prefecture Divine Crimson Copper’s red hue was said to have been cast from the fresh blood of an Ancient Star Name.
“Are you worried about me.” Chen Mo laughed.
“Who’s worried about you. If you’re injured, This King won’t save you.” Xiang Yu folded her arms across her chest.
“I believe you will.”
Xiang Yu did not want to pay him any mind. She left Chen Mo’s shoulder and pursed her lips from the sidelines. She wanted to see this man smash himself to pieces from his own power.
Chen Mo took a deep breath. Seven stars suddenly glowed on his fist.
Astonishingly, they were the Jian Bing Seven Stars.
The Jian Bing Seven Stars wound around Chen Mo’s wrist as if he had donned a boxing glove. An immense power gathered upon his fist. A mighty and domineering White Tiger overlapped Chen Mo’s body.
Then, Chen Mo’s body was covered in the power of the Black Turtle while his legs stepped onto the Azure Dragon’s phantom.
“The Three Symbols actually reached this level.”
“Hè.”
Chen Mo punched the gate.
“Qiankun Seal!!”
The underground palace jolted, and the Congealed Dream Mountain Range experienced an earthquake. The glacier crumbled, and an avalanche descended. An enormous noise ruptured the eardrums.
