The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 607 - Is He Really Human?

Chapter 607 Is He Really Human?

Li Mu then recalled that when he was in Gold Town, what the little boy selling the Astral Origin Beast wanted as payment was exactly a Reset Elixir.
However, there was a one-word difference between the “Great Reset Elixir” and the “Reset Elixir”. But Li Mu was afraid that the difference between the two kinds of elixirs was not as simple as their names indicated.
“Wham!”
After knocking out Meng Changhun the Traceless Autumn Wind Sword with one punch, Li Mu felt a little relieved.
As long as there was still a glimmer of hope for Ding Yi, Li Mu would not be too worried.
No matter how precious the Great Reset Elixir was, as long as it existed in this world, there would always be a way to find it.
Then, Li Mu refocused on the on-going battle in the sky.
In the mass of Primeval Qi, silver dragons kept winding out and banging against the irregular black rock. Each time they collided, the silver dragons would be tainted with the black mist and eventually be annihilated. However, the silver dragons seemed to be endless, as if they would never run out. In the end, the black rock began to stumble along and became more difficult to control.
“Old b*stard, never thought you’ve reserved such a gimmick.”
A look of surprise appeared on the face of the huge Dharma-laksana Projection.
He exercised more control over the irregular black rock and drove it back into his palm. Then he remarked, “But now that you’ve shown up, you should give up the thought that you could get out of here alive.”
As soon as he finished speaking, another rain of star fragments whirled past the sky. After that, a piece of the pitch-black void of the universe emerged.
A giant black monster with three heads marched out of the pitch-black void with stars as its cloak and the moon as its hat. Its whole body was burning with black flames. When its muscular limbs stepped on the sky, the void was instantly on fire. In its path, balls of black flames appeared in the void one after another.
“Old Taoist, you didn’t expect that I was here too, did you? Today, I’m gonna devour you.”
The head in the middle of the monster opened its mouth and spewed out flames. A strong smell of deadly sulfur flew out in all directions as it stared at the mass of Primeval Qi in the sky.
The monster’s three heads appeared to be the heads of evil dogs, which shared only one body. Its skin was pure black, its feet were like a horse’s hooves, and its tail was like a lion’s tail. The monster was more than four meters high and seven meters long. Compared with the gigantic Dharma-laksana Projection in the sky, it was not very big. Yet, its aura was not much inferior to that of the Dharma-laksana Projection, which the old Taoist referred to as the mining slave.
It was also a creature that was highly likely to have entered the General Realm.
The monster was quite frightening.
There were thousands of species in this universe. In addition to human beings, there were many kinds of creatures who had acquired intelligence and had also been cultivating. Their strength was really extraordinary. They didn’t like to transform into human beings, but they were indeed powerful and shouldn’t be underestimated on any account.
“Tut, tut, tut. Surely, it’s typical of mining slaves. When they know they can’t win, they send the dogs out.”
In the mass of Primeval Qi, the wretched voice rang out again.
A tall, thin figure was faintly discernible. He seemed to be dressed like a Taoist—he was wearing a high hat, a long robe, and a pair of wooden clogs. He was holding a horsetail whisk in his hand. From the tip of the handle, thousands of silver horsetail threads draped down like a waterfall. The silver dragons that had repelled the irregular-shaped black stone a moment ago were transformed by the thousands of silver threads of the whisk.
“You’re not palatable. Your flesh has gone dry and sour at your age, but your bones are suitable for making wine.”
The ferocious aura emitted by the three-headed monster dashed to the sky. Its cruel aura was overwhelming, and its vibe was incomparably intimidating. When the monster’s three heads opened their mouths and spoke at the same time, their voices formed a strange resonance in the sky, making those who had heard them feel dizzy and nauseated.
The three-headed monster directly launched a charge and quickly rushed at the mass of the Primeval Qi.
Every time its four hooves landed in the void, clusters of destructive black flames were created.
The Dharma-laksana Projection conjured by the mining slave once again took out the black rock. But this time, he fetched four chunks of such rock at a time, which rumbled toward the mass of the Primeval Qi to crush it. Clearly, the mining slave had employed his most powerful means.
“Yin-and-Yang Glimmering Light!”
In the mass of the Primeval Qi, the tall, thin figure brandished the horsetail whisk in his hand, and a sword materialized in his right hand. By making his best moves, he managed to fend off the two masters in the General Realm all by himself.
This kind of fierce battle was absolutely astonishing.
Even though where the real battle was taking place was quite far away from Star Wind City, it still jangled the nerves of the cultivators in Star Wind City because they had sensed the waves of destructive energy fluctuations generated from the battlefield. In front of such a scene, the most confident man would find that he was as insignificant as a speck of dust in the desert.
Fortunately, the three masters in the General Realm were quite restrained.
The General Realm cultivators had already transcended the life forms on planets. If they meant to go all out in a fight, they might even destroy a city in an instant. However, it was one of the iron laws of the universe that this kind of battle shall not affect the big cities. Otherwise, all parties involved in the battle would be executed.
Li Mu looked up at the battle going on in the air, conjecturing about the identities and backgrounds of these three General Realm masters.
According to all the information obtained during the battle in the Tomb of the God of Sin, there were only a few General Realm cultivators in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. The Soldier Realm cultivators were already the top ones in the eyes of cultivators at large.
Even the heads of the Gold Sun Sect and the Wind Sword Party and other extraordinary leaders of certain forces were still in the Soldier Realm. That was why they had been bullied so badly by Li Mu. Perhaps only the first-rate sects, such as the Heavenly Devil Sect, the Blood Sea, and the Tianyi Palace, had members who were in the General Realm.
Nonetheless, the three General Realm masters fighting in the sky didn’t seem to come from any of those so-called large sects.
Then, could it be that they came from someplace outside the Brilliance Immortal Star Region?
Or maybe the Ziwei Star Zone?
As Li Mu was a sinner, it made sense that the three-headed monster and the other General Realm cultivator wanted to hunt him down. But why was the “Celestial Master” trying to save him? Could it be that there was another force in this galaxy that was on the side of the “sinners”?
Moreover, after listening to the conversation between the Dharma-laksana Projection of the mining slave and the “Celestial Master”, it was clear that the two had had a battle in outer space outside the Bitter Star not long ago… Li Mu vaguely felt that the odd changes that had occurred on the Bitter Star were likely to have something to do with that battle.
Half an hour later…
“Swoosh!”
Several streams of light zoomed over from a distance.
The two in the lead were a swordsman with a hideous scar on his face and an incredibly gorgeous middle-aged woman. The latter walked over with a labored shyness, which made her look incredibly charming and delectable. She was carrying a pair of thin-bladed purple swords on her back.
Both of them were experts in the Soldier Realm and were emitting imperious auras.
“They’re the other two of the four great elders of the Tianyi Palace,” someone cried out in surprise as well as joy.
“Liu San the Wild Star Sword and Zi Xiao’er the Charming Phantom Sword… are both here. Now, only one of the four elders of the Tianyi Palace is absent. That elder is Feng Zhen the Bloodless Sword. These elders are all influential figures who had come here to kill Li Mu.”
“It seems that they have both gotten the news and hurried here.”
“This devil named Li Mu is really arrogant. Can’t believe he has shown up undisguised and lingered here for so long instead of fleeing. I’m afraid that not only the people of the Tianyi Palace but also the experts of other sects, as well as those omnipresent bounty hunters from the universe, have arrived to catch Li Mu.”
“Haha, good thing that he is arrogant. The arrogant one dies sooner.”
“If all parties were to join hands, the Wild Broadsword would soon be smashed here… He deserves it. I can’t wait to see his head roll on the ground.”
A hot discussion erupted in the crowd.
The presence of Liu San and Zi Xiao’er had indeed stirred up quite a bit of commotion.
After all, these two were both big shots that ordinary people could rarely meet.
Immediately, the disciples of the Tianyi Palace went up to the two elders and briefly told them what had happened.
The middle-aged swordsman with a scar on his face stared at Li Mu like a fierce beast.
With labored shyness, Zi Xiao’er revealed a curious look in her beautiful eyes. The seductive charm she had turned on could make the most stone-hearted man melt in an instant.
In the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, the title “Charming Phantom Sword” not only represented power but also represented unparalleled beauty. Countless young heroes, geniuses in the sects, and senior masters and giants had all pursued her and fallen head over heels for her.
The two experts in the Soldier Realm both gazed at Li Mu as if sizing him up.
Their eyes darted back and forth between Li Mu and Meng Changhun the Traceless Autumn Wind Sword, who was lying on the ground unconscious.
“Elders, Li Mu’s strength is rather bizarre. You’d better be careful…” An inner disciple of the Tianyi Palace couldn’t help but warn them.
But the next moment—
A jet of sword light flashed past.
Without saying a word, Liu San struck with his sword.
The sword Liu San used was a big sword that needed to be held with both hands. The sword was even taller and wider than an adult. It was a rare treasure. The moves Liu San took were bold and unrestrained. Each strike he launched carried the momentum of mutual destruction. That was why he was called the Wild Star Sword. Indeed, he was the tough and fierce type who would never yield.
Moreover, Liu San did not take Li Mu lightly at all.
What he performed were all his most prized skills. He had really given full play to his characteristics moves.
“You’re courting death.”
Li Mu motioned Second Senior Fellow Apprentice to take care of Ding Yi. Then, he strode forward and threw a punch at the Wild Star Sword that was said to be able to cut a planet open.
It was a battle between the Wild Broadsword and the Wild Sword!
In this instant, countless pairs of eyes withdrew from the battle among the General Realm masters in the sky and darted toward the duel between Li Mu and Liu San.
The next moment, we had a winner.
The big sword was shattered.
Liu Yi was thrown backward by the punch and spat out a mouthful of blood in the air.
“What?”
“Oh my…”
“Good lord!”
The cultivators around started to shriek uncontrollably like rabbits whose tails had been stepped on. As if a huge stone weighing tens of thousands of kilograms had plummeted into calm water from the sky, the result of the duel instantly made a huge splash.
“We should have thought of this.” Some people stepped back with pale faces.
Meng Changhun the Traceless Sword of the Autumn Wind had failed to even withstand a single strike launched by Li Mu the Wild Broadsword. Liu San the Wild Star Sword, on the other hand, was one of the four great elders of the Tianyi Palace and definitely stronger than Meng Changhun. However, his strength was not strikingly superior to Meng Chanhun’s. Therefore, how could he be on par with Li Mu?
Sure enough, he collapsed as soon as Li Mu’s strike hit him.
“Third Brother, watch out!”
Zi Xiao’er the Charming Phantom Sword, who had a smile on her face only a second ago, saw that things had gotten out of hand and quickly made her move. She clapped the back of her neck slightly, and the pair of thin-bladed swords on her back sprang to life. The swords zoomed out automatically and turned into overlaid purple shadows, rushing toward Li Mu from all directions.
In the same instant, she dashed into the air and caught Liu San the Wild Star Sword, who had been thrown backward.
“Crack, crack.”
Strange noises were heard.
Zi Xiao’er looked up in horror.
To her disbelief, she saw that her Taoist treasure, the pair of swords named Phantom Sword Twins that made her name, were caught by Li Mu’s hands one by one and then snapped and tossed aside as if they were just two pieces of rotten wood or two blades of grass.
“Puff… You…”
Zi Xiao’er opened her mouth and squirted out a shot of blood. Her body swayed, and her beautiful face was pale and ferocious.
The weapon she had been nurturing and refining with her source energy had been destroyed in a single move, causing her to suffer a backlash and be seriously injured.
Both Liu San and Zi Xiao’er were seized by a kind of shock that was hard to describe with words.
“What kind of man is he?
“Why is he not only ridiculously powerful but also has a body even tougher than Taoist Treasures? With his bare hands, he smashed that big sword and broke the Phantom Sword Twins. The fists of Li Mu the Wild Broadsword must not be human fists, are they?”
