The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 715 A Dead God

Its black downy hairs fell out, and golden hairs grew out.

The ferocious and violent aura of its black bony wings with barbs gradually disappeared. The wings began to glow with dim, warm silvery light, and their color looked much gentler and softer than before. Surprisingly, they gave off a vague holy aura.

The blood bat king’s head and face also changed.

Its extended fangs, ferocious-looking nose and mouth, scarlet eyes, and blade-like ears... The color changed from black to gold and silver, which made it look holy. In particular, its face looked gentle, pleasing, and even cute.

This process lasted for less than half an hour.

The blood bat king became the Gold and Silver King. It was much better looking than before.

Its power and aura had also soared to the peak of the King Realm.

Sure enough, the evolution of this ferocious ancient beast could not be explained by the current martial arts theories in the Ziwei Star Zone. After just one round of evolution, it had reached the peak of a new realm. In contrast, for the practitioners in various Star Regions, after they entered a new realm, they had to practice continuously to consolidate their skills before they gradually reached the peak of the new realm.

“Hahaha, I have finally broken the shackles and can soar into the sky now.”

It flapped its wings and turned into a streak of golden and silvery light. It flew a thousand miles in the blink of an eye like a pair of golden and silvery scissors ripping through the sky. Its speed was amazing.

Li Mu was surprised.

After this round of evolution, the Gold and Silver King could actually speak human language.

It had a female’s voice.

“Is it a female?” Li Mu wondered.

After its evolution, the Gold and Silver King moved faster than Li Mu did when he used his Broadsword-commanding Skill and Somersault Cloud.

It was now the fastest creature that Li Mu had ever seen.

Golden and silvery light flashed.

It flew back again.

It flapped its wings gently and hovered in front of Li Mu, staring at him with its black gem-like eyes.

Li Mu detected a hint of hostility in its eyes.

“Haha, you human being, I remember you hit me once.” Its tone sounded a little arrogant. It was still holding a grudge against Li Mu because he had once caught it and beaten it up.

Li Mu rubbed his forehead, feeling speechless.

“As expected, it is really artless. As soon as its strength has improved, it immediately begins to rake up our old grievance,” Li Mu thought.

“Are you sure?” Li Mu looked at it, not panicking at all.

“Hmm?

“Why is he so calm?

“His reaction is different from what I have expected.”

The Gold and Silver King felt a little uncertain.

“Could it be that this human being has something to rely on?”

It was once beaten up by Li Mu, so it actually had a psychological shadow.

With a fierce look on its face, it said fiercely, “You’re just a human being, but I have reached the peak of the Beast King Realm. You are very weak. I think I can crush you with a single finger now.”

Li Mu raised his right hand and said, “Give it a try.”

The Gold and Silver King stepped back like a frightened mouse, and its eyes flashed with shock and uncertainty.

Li Mu did not say anything else. He gently activated the Power of White Bones. The blood bat’s bloodline chains appeared, wrapped around his white-bone wrist like ropes, and then floated up and writhed like divine dragons.

The Gold and Silver King suddenly felt a huge threat, and it looked frightened.

Li Mu said, “I can break the evolution shackles in your body, and I can seal you again. Do you believe it?”

“Please keep cool.” The Gold and Silver King began to give in.

The reason was that it clearly felt that the dragon-like bloodline chains around Li Mu’s white-bone wrist posed a huge threat to it. It was a threat causing it an innate fear from the soul that could not be controlled or faced.

Li Mu smiled and said, “Think about it carefully. Is the Beast King Realm the highest level that you want to reach? Don’t you want to become a Beast God? Huh?”

The Gold and Silver King’s eyes began to sparkle again.

“Yes.” It suddenly realized something. “This human being knows the secret method for breaking the bloodline shackles of fierce beasts and promoting their evolution. That is a kind of incredible power comparable to that of the creator of the universe. When I have accumulated enough power, perhaps this human being can help me go further.

“Compared to such a hope, being beaten up by him is nothing.”

“Hahahaha, I’m just kidding to liven up the atmosphere.” The Gold and Silver King laughed and added, “From now on, we will be good sisters... no, good brothers. You will be my elder brother, and our relationship is going to last forever... My brother, can you please withdraw your magic power first?”

Li Mu was rendered speechless.

“It is such a weirdo.

“And it’s a female one.”

He withdrew the bloodline chains around his wrist, and his palm and arm resumed their original forms with flesh and blood.

Only then did the Gold and Silver King heave a sigh of relief.

“Haha, my brother, I’ll follow you from now on.” Looking like a loyal partner, it said, “If anyone dares to make things difficult for you, I’ll surely order my bats to suck his blood.”

The tens of thousands of blood bats around it echoed, making all sorts of noises.

A bat king in the Beast King Realm had appeared in a colony of bats, which was a very rare case. This meant that the colony would grow rapidly. Not only would their combat capability be greatly improved, but their reproduction speed would also increase significantly. This was a special characteristic of animals living in groups and colonies.

“Help me find a way to get the Soul-replenishing Heavenly Herb,” said Li Mu.

The Gold and Silver King’s face darkened at once. “It’s really dangerous in there. My colony has suffered heavy casualties. When I was little, my father told me that this place was very dangerous, and there was a dead god ruling this place... My brother, it’s not that I fear anything. I’m just worried about your safety.”

Li Mu glanced at the Gold and Silver King. He knew that he could not rely on it for the moment.

“A dead god? What’s that?” Li Mu asked.

The Gold and Silver King said, “A real god died here for some reason. He still bears grudges and rules this place... Anyway, no one knows what has happened to that god. Look at that blood-red sea of clouds over there. His physical body lives in there. It is said that his physical body still has divinity, but his soul has become a demon...”

The Gold and Silver King looked very serious when it spoke.

“This place is a forbidden area and also a terrifying legend in this realm. Many formidable creatures once tried to challenge this dead god, but in the end, they all became part of the piles of bones under the god’s feet,” said the Gold and Silver King.

This time, it went all out for the sake of its evolution. It had ordered its disciples and subjects to enter this forbidden area to look for the Soul-replenishing Heavenly Herb, and it had lost half of its colony to confirm the news.

When Li Mu heard the legend, he was very curious.

“A dead god?”

In fact, he had always wanted to know if there were immortals and gods in the world.

In the Ziwei Star Zone, the most powerful practitioners were kings.

Giants like Bai Yuanshou were also in the King Realm.

Since Bi Yan awakened the Fox God’s bloodline, she had been regarded as a living deity in the world. With a divine edict, she suppressed the chaos in the entire Imperium Vulpes, and various great powers, clans, and tribes had no choice but to lie low for the moment.

However, Li Mu did not feel very strong power in Bi Yan.

The practitioners were respectful to Bi Yan, but it was just a form of long-established awe, reverence, and fear toward deities. They might not necessarily fear her strength.

However, the Gold and Silver King said that there was a dead god in this mountain of bones.

“Will gods also die?

“Will one become a god after he has reached the peak of the King Realm?”

Li Mu looked at the red sea of rolling clouds in the distance, sunk in thought.

“As for the plan to enter this area with white bones...

“I have to think about it carefully.”

Li Mu rubbed his temples.

“Do you have any news about Li Yidao?”

The young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan was standing in a rather delicate small flying boat. His tone sounded impatient.

Some other Heavenly Legends were floating in the air, trembling with fear.

Before they entered the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, they had secretly taken the side of the Heavenly Deity Clan. When Huangfu Chengdao scolded them, they didn’t dare to say anything at all.

For more than one day, they had been searching for Li Yidao as instructed by the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan.

However, the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm was a big place, and finding a person in it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It was very difficult.

Huangfu Chengdao was well aware of that.

“There’s not much time left. It seems that I have to agree to the Witchcraft Saint’s conditions first. I will sort things out after I find Li Mu.”

He weighed the pros and cons.

No matter what, he had to kill Li Yidao in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.

Otherwise, once Li Yidao got out of the secret realm, the Green Fox God would protect him.

Just when he was about to send a message to the Witchcraft Saint saying that he would accept the latter’s conditions and requesting the latter to find Li Yidao using his special power, heaven and earth suddenly started shaking.

“Oh my god. What’s that?”

A Heavenly Legend exclaimed in surprise.

The others looked into the distance and saw a giant figure that was five to six thousand meters tall. It was walking on the ground, dragging two dead blue dragons behind it and taking big bites of them, as if it were biting a scallion.

Was that... a demonic ape?

It was a human-shaped creature resembling a gigantic ape.

Strangely, the sound of metal colliding came with the wind.

This formidable tall creature had several black chains on its body. As it walked slowly on the ground, the mountains and rivers were shaking. It dragged the huge black chains behind it, and the chains rubbed against the ground, making strange metal clanging sounds.

“What’s going on?” The look on the face of Huangfu Chengdao, the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan, changed abruptly.

In the Heavenly Deity Clan’s descriptions of the dangers in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, the existence of this giant dragon-eating ape was not mentioned.

In particular, there were strange black chains wrapped around the giant ape’s body. Upon closer inspection, one would find that these chains actually passed through its body, as if they were cast in its black muscles when the giant ape received some punishment a long time ago...

“Where did it come from?”

Huangfu Chengdao felt a terrifying, ferocious aura coming at his face.

He stepped back instinctively.

“The giant ape’s aura... It is probably above the King Realm. This is so terrifying.

“The body of this giant ape in the King Realm was pierced through by chains. After an unknown period of time, those chains had merged with its muscles... Why didn’t I notice it before? Now it suddenly appears.”

At this time, the giant ape took a step forward.

Huangfu Chengdao and the others felt that their vision blurred. The giant dragon-eating ape had already traveled tens of thousands of meters and got close to them.

“Damn it! Run!”

A Heavenly Legend cried out in terror.
