Forty Millenniums of Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 2146 Playing the Ultimate Move Again!

Li Yao was greatly enlightened.

If the mysterious world fragment where Li Linghai and his foster father were stranded together was the place where the Supreme Emperor perished, everything would make sense!

The Supreme Emperor was definitely an emperor of all times and an expert who had reached the highest peak. Not just all of his heritages, even 1% of his knowledge would have been enough to completely transform a girl who was naturally docile and sentimental into someone with sophistication and long-term visions.

His foster father came from the Covenant Alliance where feelings were highly repressed. But if the Supreme Emperor’s strength leaked out of the “Gold Throne”, it shouldn’t be strange at all that he could break the restraint of the “Three Fundamental Laws”.

After all, according to the legends, the Supreme Emperor had three volumes of Book of Revelation, which should’ve given him a profound understanding of the Pangu Civilization. It was not surprising at all that he could come up with solutions to the Three Fundamental Laws.

Besides, abundant secret treasures of the Supreme Emperor must have been hidden in the “Empyreal Transcendence Sector”, probably including crystal suits, starships, Colossi, and all kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. It would be a lot easier if the queen recruited and raised her subordinates with the Supreme Emperor’s secret treasures.

In the meantime, what the queen received from the “Empyreal Transcendence Sector” was probably not pure strength but also part of the Supreme Emperor’s beliefs.

While the Supreme Emperor found an “imperium” in the legends as a dictator, he was an ancient man from ten thousand years ago after all, and he had his historical limitations. It was not appropriate to demand him too much.

At the very least, the prevailing opinions on the Supreme Emperor today were rather positive. Overthrowing the reign of demons, rescuing the people from disasters, ending the conflicts in the three thousand Sectors, leading humanity to the second peak after the age of the ancient Cultivators, laying the foundation of the modern Cultivation civilization, and determining the belief that “Cultivators are the sabers of the civilization of mankind”, which marked the boundary between “modern Cultivators” and “ancient Cultivators”, were all his feats.

Therefore, while he was technically an autocratic emperor, the Supreme Emperor was still regarded by modern people as a real Cultivator. The Star Glory Federation, despite the public elections and the parliamentary republic system, also admitted that the Supreme Emperor was a shared ancestor of everyone and a well-deserved hero. The Star Glory Federation had also considered itself as a spiritual heir to the Star Ocean Imperium too.

All in all, although they were both emperors, the Supreme Emperor and Blackstar the Great were utterly different. He was relatively bright, decent, and a representative of justice.

Therefore, if Li Linghai had truly found part of the Supreme Emperor’s heritages and beliefs, she would naturally grow to loath the murky, corrupted Imperium of True Human Beings and even make up her mind to “reform the Imperium” in her own ways.

Of course, there were still many problems. For example, how could Li Linghai have shouldered the Supreme Emperor’s intimidating heritages with her weak body?

But in general, Li Yao believed that Li Lingfeng’s speculation was at least 50% likely to be correct!

The reason was very simple. Little Black and the half key inside Li Yao’s Cosmos Ring were obviously the products of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago.

Therefore, even if the world fragment that Li Linghai and Li Yao’s foster father discovered was not the “Empyreal Transcendence Sector” where the Supreme Emperor perished, it must have a lot to do with the Supreme Emperor too!

Thinking quickly, Li Yao immediately figured out the causes and consequences of everything.

Then, he felt like crying. Li Lingfeng was truly an out-and-out pig teammate, who had dragged him into trouble before his death. It was fine that he could tell the arts that Li Linghai used were “Dragon Over The Sky”, the Supreme Emperor’s ultimate skill, but why did the guy have to shout it out and explain it so colloquially?

It turned out great. Both Li Yao and Li Jialing had heard the big secret loud and clear.

Even if Li Jialing’s origin were a problem that could be resolved one way or another, would the queen let go of them now that the two of them had overheard such a great secret, that Her Grace received the heritages of the Supreme Emperor?

Grimacing, Li Yao looked at the queen and Li Lingfeng, only to discover that the electric arcs shining around the queen were brighter and brighter and tightening around Li Lingfeng like thousands of dragons, strangling Li Lingfeng’s muscles, veins, nerves, and bones!

Li Lingfeng was a seasoned expert at the high level of the Divinity Transformation Stage, but he was unable to resist the suppression of the queen’s dominating “Dragon Over The Sky”. His domain had completely collapsed into broken ripples that were writhing and weeping in the crazy storm, only to perish very soon.

Struggling hard, he shouted desperately, “S-Spare me. I’m sincerely hoping to cooperate with you. No, no, no. I’m willing to submit to you and help you deal with the four Kurfürst families and other nobles so that you will be a real queen that masters the entire sea of stars. You will gather the supreme power and reestablish a new Imperium!”

“Hehehehe…”

Li Linghai narrowed his eyes. With a smile of disdain, she said, “There are a lot of people who are willing to submit to me, but you are not qualified to be one of them!”

Li Lingfeng bulged his eyes. Lightning arcs were flowing out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth like magma while he moaned, “I-I am your biological brother!”

The purple brilliance deep inside Li Linghai’s eyes gradually spread out again, exactly like his blossoming ambitions.

The queen of the Imperium of True Human Beings smiled. “So what?”

Hardly had she concluded her sentence when the lightning that Li Linghai shot at Li Lingfeng grew a hundred times brighter all of a sudden!

At the moment, the wind, the rain, and the lightning seemed to be frozen, and the whole world was eclipsed, turning into black and white under the illumination of the lightning.

The only thing that could be seen was the purple flames that stored the majestic aura of the Supreme Emperor. Turning into a sword of the true dragon that once raged the sea of stars, it ripped apart the last spiritual shield that Li Lingfeng managed to build and pierced through his chest at a speed a hundred times higher than the lightning!

After the sword entered his body, it immediately burst out into nine wild dragons of purple flames that ran amok inside Li Lingfeng’s internal organs and limbs, tearing, burning, melting, and obliterating the man’s every nerve, every vein, and every cell!

“Ahhh!”

In screams of disbelief and excruciating pain, Li Lingfeng’s soul turned into an azure ball that fled to the sky desperately, only to be caught up by three purple dragons and ripped apart in the blink of an eye. In ripples of screams, it was entirely devoured by the fiery dragons!

The nine dragons of purple flames hovered in the middle of the pouring thunderstorm and soon returned to Li Linghai’s back, further adding to the mysteriousness and magnificence of her white-haired and purple-haired style!

Li Lingfeng, an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage, on the other hand, had been burned up without even having the slightest ashes left. In less than twenty seconds, the man had been reduced to nothingness, never to be reincarnated again! historical

If the heart could sweat, Li Yao’s heart would have been dehydrated right now.

The contrast between the two parties:

Li Linghai was at least at the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage. She also had the enhancement of “Dragon Over The Sky”, the unbelievably awesome and dominating martial art from the Supreme Emperor. Furthermore, there was no telling how much magical equipment from the “Empyreal Transcendence Sector” she was still keeping in her pocket and did not take out yet. By estimation, it should be more than easy for her to beat up someone in the middle or low level of the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Li Yao, on the other hand, was only at the middle level of the Divinity Transformation Stage. But his soul was rather special. Nobody knew that he had a second soul that was the mental devil. As some sort of an ancient extraterrestrial devil itself, it went through many fortuitous incidents and absorbed vast tenebrum energy. Despite the lack of a real entity, it was somewhat in the Divinity Transformation Stage too.

Therefore, Li Yao was in fact not simply at the middle level of the Divinity Transformation Stage. In terms of maximal combat ability, it was like two experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage were sharing the same body.

It was a more powerful and weird level than the teamwork of two regular experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage and somewhat similar to the amazing technique of the “Divinity Branching Stage” where the soul could be split apart and mind their own business.

Therefore, Li Yao was generally not scared even if he encountered someone at the high level or even peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage.

However… None of it was going to help when he was faced with such a dreadful queen!

Could he run?

Li Yao’s brain cells were all breaking apart as he reached the conclusion quickly. He absolutely could not!

If he intended to run, he should have done it when Li Lingfeng shrieked “Supreme Emperor” half a minute ago.

But even if he had a 1% chance to escape, there was no way that Li Jialing could’ve fled.

Li Jialing was probably his foster father’s only child, and Li Linghai was also very likely to be the only woman that his foster father ever loved.

Li Yao was very close to his foster father. Having been abandoned by his birth parents and struggled in the darkness on his own, he always regarded his foster father as his real father.

How could he watch the ethical tragedy that was about to take place between his foster father’s woman and child while doing nothing?

Also, on a higher level, if Li Jialing was the sole weakness inside the heart of the queen, he would also be the last defense of her “humanity”.

If she were simply allowed to kill the child that she truly wanted to have, the queen would become a cold and heartless monster completely!

Such a monster had probably grasped part of the Supreme Emperor’s legacies and was ambitious to seize the highest power of the entire Imperium of True Human Beings.

If she did succeed, what would the Imperium of True Human Beings be like under the reign of such a monster? Would the Star Glory Federation be able to face such an Imperium?

Therefore, for both public interests and his own, for his foster father, for the federation and for the lives of him and Li Jialing, Li Yao had to hold back the pressure instead of running!

“I… still believe that the real Li Linghai whom pop loved couldn’t have been like this!”

Li Yao gritted his teeth hard. “I have to keep the last part of humanity in Li Linghai’s heart and slowly wake her up. It will be best to transform her into the kindhearted woman that pop loved in the past!

“Even better, since the Supreme Emperor in the past was a Cultivator, Li Linghai, having received the heritages of the Supreme Emperor, has a small chance of turning into a Cultivator from an Immortal Cultivator, right?

“Perhaps she is only short of a critical person who gives a push to her mind. A tiny push is all that is needed…

“It seems that I have to play my ultimate move now that I’m no match for her in terms of combat ability!”

The mental devil crawled out of Li Yao’s brain, anxious at the great enemy. “The ultimate move again? Isn’t our reserved ultimate move running?”

“Who says that?”

Li Yao’s cheeks and lips vibrated at a high frequency. “The ultimate move that I talked about is my silver tongue!”
