Chapter 525 - Bitter Star
Chapter 525 Bitter Star
Bitter Star, Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
The star was of little colonial value for many great powers in Brilliance Immortal Star Region. It even wasn’t a ninth class star as the resources there were severely depleted and the environment was terrible. The vast majority of nations living in this star were poor castaways, muddling along from day to day.
The precipitous Nie Mountains was one of the gloomiest mountains in the star.
In the range of these mountains, it was filled with noxious gas, and there was no sunlight all day and not even a blade of grass grew there. The black rock was as sharp as Heaven Dao, thrusting into the darkly clouded sky. Over the sky, with thunder and lightning striking, the magic air flowed like vortex and looked like a funnel facing down the Black Dragon peak, the main peak. One could see it clearly even hundreds of miles away.
There were no signs of life in thousands of miles of Nie Mountains.
Thunder and lightning occurred frequently over the Black Dragon Peak as if the apocalypse was coming.
This was one of the four forbidden places in the Bitter Star. Even the strongest man in the star didn’t dare to enter this place.
Boom!
There was a crash of thunder, and then the lightning split the magic cloud.
A figure flew out of the magic air vortex over the Black Dragon peak.
A handsome figure in Li Ning’s white sports suit showed up. It was exactly Li Mu coming from the earth.
“Is this the world behind space vortex? I can feel the familiar breath.”
He hung in the air with his face lighted up.
At the same time, numerous lightning bolts flew out of the magic cloud vortex like widely danced snakes and split toward him.
“Crash.”
The invisible Broadsword Qi of the Natural Expert shattered all the lightning bolts into pieces.
It has been a long time to carry out Cultivation Method as he pleased.
He took his mighty Dao and swooped to the mountains below.
“My estimation is right.”
Li Mu felt the circulation of the power of the Heaven and Earth law. He was very clear that he reached the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. His sensation was never wrong.
Li Mu had stayed on the earth for more than a year. During that time, he deduced that the other side of the vortex was part of Brilliance Immortal Star Region based on the Black Dragon’s diary and his personal experience. After several verification, he started to come back.
Was this really the Brilliance Immortal Star Region?
It should be some star of Brilliance Immortal Star Region instead of some place in the Divine Land.
While Li Mu was contemplating, a weird power was converging, circulating and brewing.
Suddenly—
A roll of thunder came out!
There was thunder and lightning.
Amid the deafening rumble ff thunder, countless bolts of lightning, like a furious dragon, came out from the magic air vortex over the main peak and struck at Li Mu.
“Terrible! It seems that cultivating martial arts on the earth would give rise to the catastrophe.”
Li Mu sensed what happened and then his countenance changed.
This kind of thunder and lightning was powered by catastrophe of the Heaven.
Just like the Black Dragon and Giant Fire Bear, they traveled through space vortex to land in Qinling Heaven related to the earth but ended being struck and killed by catastrophe of the Heaven. Fortunately, ninety nine percent of Li Mu’s cultivation methods were cultivated in stars of the Divine Land beyond Brilliance Immortal Star Region. Therefore, this catastrophe wasn’t fatal.
Li Mu’s cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the Great Sage.
Li Mu soon found it laborious to hard fight against the thunder.
“Broadsword Intent Zone and Broadsword Qi of the Natural Expert! Open!”
He screamed out, and then the Intent Zone was open and the Broadsword Qi started to circulate.
Lightning bolts were smashed one by one.
However, the lightning smashed and recombined and then turned into a black dragon. The dragon had lively scales and sharp claws. It looked like a live dragon and cruelly bit towards Li Mu.
Li Mu held his long Dao to behead the black dragon.
Flashes of lightning shattered and recombined in the air and then turned into an immemorial deity in ancient armor. He rushed up to Li Mu waving his Qiang in his war horse.
“Does the catastrophe change like this?”
It was really eye-opening for Li Mu.
On that day in the Qinling Heaven, that giant bear was struck to death by lightning. However, there weren’t such strange changes. Why? Because the giant bear dead too fast or the catastrophe of heaven on the earth wasn’t strong enough?
Li Mu refreshed himself and then fought against the deity.
After hundreds of rounds, he beheaded the deity.
However, numerous thunder and lightning bolts swept over Li Mu and then turned into armies and monsters.
He was trapped in the Nie Dragon Mountain for ten days by the thunder and lightning.
Ten days later.
On the periphery of the Mount Nie Dragon.
Li Mu, swarthy like coke, tumbled out with smoke in his mouth.
“I feel like getting roasted.”
Li Mu had an illusion that he could be a delicious roasted whole man by adding some cumin powder and salt.
Whenever he opened his mouth, he could smell the fragrance of meat. His skin cracked as though he had been badly burned. His hair and eyebrows were burned into ashes by the thunder. What’s worse, his Natural Qi including Primeval Qi was used up.
Over the past ten days and ten nights, he was struck and refined by immeasurable thunder like Sun Wukong in the eight trigrams furnace.
One could easily imagine that Li Mu would have dead early if it had been the full catastrophe of the heaven.
The catastrophe of the heaven had gone.
He made it.
However, he got hurt due to his hard fight.
The Natural Qi and Primeval Qi in his body were severely depleted. Since Li Mu only had his flesh now, he was unable to take his mighty Dao or hung on the air. Therefore, he could only but walk out of the mountain step by step.
Along the way, he noted that the Spiritual Qi in this star was over one hundred times than that of the earth. However, when compared with the Divine Land, it was much less.
It would take nearly several months to recover from it.
Li Mu tumbled out of the Mount Nie Dragon and tried to find a place to heal his wounds.
Severely injured as Li Mu was, he was in a good mood.
Getting through ordeal was a kind of cultivation and opportunity.
The catastrophe with thunder and lightning was particularly perilous. However, once you got through it, you could reap immeasurable benefits. Li Mu sensed that a fantastic change was taking place in his body after experiencing the thunder and lightning. It was as if green grass grew in a dried and cracked land. Although it was only a little greenery, it nurtured hope for the future.
Li Mu had a feeling that he would naturally enter the Void-breaking Realm if he recovered.
He observed the surroundings to find a proper place to rest and recover.
On the periphery of the Nie Dragon mountain, it was thriving as the mountains turned green and water flowed and plants grew.
Li Mu came to a picturesque valley which was luxuriant and full of birds’ twitter and fragrance of flowers. He took off his Li Ning’s suit which was burned into rags by thunder. No sooner had Li Mu jumped to the pool to take a bath than several lights streaked across the sky swiftly and the sound of breaking sky rang. They must be peak masters of Natural Expert.
“Sift through the place. Don’t let that siren get away.”
“She must be in this area because she was afraid to enter the forbidden Nie Dragon mountain.”
“Find her and you will be rewarded by the chief.”
The sound coming from the sky rumbled like loud thunder and reverberated around the mountain.
Soon, beams of light flickered in the sky. At least hundreds of people were shouting and searching someone within the scope of millions of miles. Obviously, they were looking for someone.
Li Mu raised his head to watch for a while. He was pleasantly surprised.
There were strong martial arts masters on the star. He could understand their language as it was similar to that of Divine Land. Hundreds of masters in this star belonged to the Natural Expert class, which were a strong force even in stars of the Divine Land. However, this strength couldn’t decide whose martial arts were better, this star or the Divine Land.
Where there were people, there was Jianghu.
If there was Jianghu, one could ask for information.
He didn’t fully recover, therefore, he wasn’t willing to connect with these people now.
Take a bath first.
The moment he jumped into a pool nakedly to wash himself, he saw a girl in green dress under the water. The girl tightly stuck in a rock which looked like a slanting thorn. She silently lurked under the water like a mermaid.
She was extraordinarily beautiful. Her light green hair naturally scattered in the water like soft seaweed. The soaked green dress tightly stuck in her body, outlining her ample breasts and slender legs. The fantastic profile made one dizzy. With her waist exposed, one could see her flawless complexion. Her eyes were very big and attractive. She was a drop-dead gorgeous girl.
Li Mu was confused at that time.
What’s the matter?
How could I ignore her before?
Did she have some special hiding skills?
He covered his crotch subconsciously.
How could I, the Lord Taibai, the God of Broadswords, Eastern God of Massacre, Sage of Martial arts, a super strong man, stood naked in front of a girl? This was a great loss!
While Li Mu looked at the green mermaid-like girl, she looked toward him, too.
It was evident that she sensed Li Mu’s presence before Li Mu jumped into the water.
They stared into each other’s eyes. The girl’s eyes shone with a flicker of despair, coldness and anxiety. She still remained motionless on the back of the bottom of the rock. She didn’t say anything, not to mention fighting. It seemed that she was waiting for Li Mu’s next move.
Li Mu instantly came to realize what happened.
The siren whom the hundreds of strong men of Natural Expert searched for was this green mermaid.
She hid in the bottom of the rock by virtue of a special method. She wasn’t detected by those masters but was accidently discovered by Li Mu.
After a moment of reflection, Li Mu grabbed some water plants and tied them to his waist to protect his crotch. And then he started to wash the ashes on his body as if he had seen nothing. Up to now, he recovered partially as the cracked wounds formed scabs. Li Mu was still in dark complexion without hair and eyebrows like a savage in the mountain.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Several flashes fell down and then turned into men, standing beside the pool.
“Oh, there was a monkey.” Someone said in astonishment at the sight of Li Mu.
