The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 743 Revenge

Enveloped by the nine-colored divine flames, Li Mu’s figure slowly emerged in the void. At the beginning, it was just a faint shadow. Then, a contour of his figure appeared in the purple-gold light.

The nine-colored flames moved about in the contour, drawing blood vessels, muscles, bones, organs, and finally skin and hair like a magic pen.

This process was slow, but it was clear and real.

The Gold and Silver King hid under a piece of rock and watched, trembling.

“Is he coming back to life?”

She was a little confused.

“His body and soul have been completely destroyed, but he still can come back to life.

“What secret skill is that?”

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Samsara Knife inserted into the rock vibrated slightly, as if it were cheering for the rebirth of its master.

In less than several hours, Li Mu’s complete figure was outlined by the nine-colored divine flames. The figure was absolutely three-dimensional. It looked as if it could come back to life as soon as it opened its eyes.

The Gold and Silver King watched carefully.

It was the first time she had seen such a scene.

No matter how long practitioners lived and how powerful they were, they were exactly the same as ordinary people in the face of death.

People only lived once. It was the same with practitioners.

A practitioner would never live again after he died, no matter how powerful he was.

Now, however, the Gold and Silver King saw that someone whose body and soul had been destroyed slowly took form again.

It was as if heaven and earth treasured him and brought him back to life.

“He has no heartbeats, but the aura of his physical body makes me feel scared. Will he really come back to life? Is this person the one chosen and favored by heaven and earth?”

In the bloodline memories of the Gold and Silver King, there were some disordered legends, which made her imagination run wild.

She had witnessed the power of the ancestors of the six major clans above the blue mountain. They were all formidable masters above the King Realm. Li Mu had been eliminated by them, but he could still come back to life. This was a miracle.

The Gold and Silver King somewhat longed for the nine-colored divine flames, but she was also a little scared of them.

She could feel that there was an inexplicable magical power in the flames.

Li Mu’s new body shone with faint purple-gold light and gave off an inexplicable divine vibe. The Gold and Silver King had an impulse to kneel down and worship him.

“He came back to life after he died. His life is so tenacious.”

The Gold and Silver King remembered that ever since she met Li Mu, her luck seemed to have been exceptionally good.

Not only had she broken her innate bloodline shackles and reached the peak of the King Realm, but she had also eaten the giant dragon-eating ape’s eyeball, which compensated for what she lacked, and obtained the vision in daylight that blood bats lacked most...

In the thousands of years of her long life, she was extremely lucky only in these days.

“If he is really going to come back to life, I must find a way to follow him, make him my brother, and borrow some of his luck. Maybe there is hope for me to become a god in the future.”

The Gold and Silver King thought to herself.

“However, I have to make up a good excuse. I have betrayed him several times before. I’m afraid it’s not easy to fool him again.”

While she was thinking, she suddenly heard something.

Thump!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

She heard heartbeats.

She raised her head and looked up.

A visible air current came out of Li Mu’s body floating in the air and instantly produced terrifying blast waves, which sent the Gold and Silver King, who was at the peak of the King Realm, flying thousands of meters.

“What? They’re just heartbeats, but they have generated such terrifying power. If he comes back to life, how terrifying his power will be? Has... has he already become a god?”

A strong feeling of awe welled up inside the Gold and Silver King.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Li Mu’s heart started beating faster and faster.

His heartbeat sounded like the beats of an ancient divine drum echoing between heaven and earth.

The Gold and Silver King had no choice but to draw back again and again. In the end, she moved hundreds of miles back. She was no longer affected by the strange sound waves produced by Li Mu’s heartbeat. Her face was ashen white, and she almost knelt down in the sky.

“Is Mr. Li dead? That’s impossible. He can’t be dead.”

Bi Yan’s face turned pale as she murmured to herself.

She couldn’t believe this result.

Precisely speaking, she couldn’t accept the result.

“Huangfu Chengdao has admitted in the presence of so many people that he has killed Li Yidao. If Li Yidao were not dead, he would not say so. Otherwise, he would be putting the honor of the Heavenly Deity Clan at stake,” said the Divine-winged Fox, who disguised himself as a crippled middle-aged beggar.

Previously, he went to the square and learned the news.

“No. I don’t believe it. Mr. Li has incomparable wisdom. He must have found a way. He must have found a way...” Bi Yan shook her head. She could not accept the result.

The Divine-winged Fox had changed his clothes. He sighed when he saw his daughter’s lost and upset look.

“Alas, Li Yidao is a descendant of the sinners. This time, even the ancestor of the Heavenly Deity Clan showed up. Yan’er, you have forcefully infused your divine power in someone else and performed your magical skills to help Li Yidao. As a result, your godhood has been shattered and your cultivation level has declined sharply. No matter what favors he had done for you, you have done enough for him. Now, you have to find a way to get out of the Imperium Vulpes Divine City as soon as possible. The White Fox Tribe will not let you go.”

A few days ago, some powerful people sneaked into the Green Fox Temple and tried to kill Bi Yan, who was severely injured.

At the crucial moment, Divine-winged Fox showed up and rescued Bi Yan out of the Green Fox Temple.

He was seriously injured during the fight.

Now, he and his daughter were taking refuge in a remote place of the Imperium Vulpes Divine City.

The Heavenly Fox Clan had actually broken up. Unfortunately, Bi Yan hadn’t awakened the bloodline of the Green Fox ancestors for enough time and hadn’t really taken control of the Green Fox Tribe. Therefore, she couldn’t contend against the White Fox Tribe, which had absolute authority within the Heavenly Fox Clan.

The people of various clans and tribes in the Imperium Vulpes Divine City were hunting Li Mu’s accomplices down. The Heavenly Fox Temple accused Bi Yan of colluding with the descendant of sinners and betraying the Heavenly Fox Clan. She was also accused of acting as the “insider” for the previous attacks and murders in the Star Posthouse.

“I’m going to take revenge for Mr. Li.” Bi Yan gritted her teeth.

A strong killing intent welled up and surged through her.

“Whoever killed Mr. Li would be my sworn enemy. I will never let the killer get away with it.” Bi Yan stood up. There was unprecedented determination in her eyes. She said, “Mr. Li’s friends are in trouble now. I am going to rescue them and then... Huangfu Chengdao must die.”

The Divine-winged Fox felt a little relieved when he saw that his daughter was in high spirits. However, he became worried when he heard his daughter saying that she was going to save Li Mu’s friends.

“Given your current condition, saving people is no different from courting death,” the Divine-winged Fox said, “if you died, who would take revenge for Mr. Li in the future? As long as there is life, there is hope. You must leave the Imperium Vulpes Divine City as soon as possible.”

Bi Yan shook her head. “If I left, I would be too ashamed to face Mr. Li in the netherworld.”

“But...” the Divine-winged Fox still wanted to say something.

Bi Yan said decisively, “Father, I know very well what I want to do. You don’t need to persuade me. I have to find a way to escort Mr. Li’s confidante, the Lady of the Clouds, out of this place.”

“But your current condition...”

“I will come up with a plan. After all, I am a deity.”

“Do you want to... No. In that case, you’ll have to pay a big price.” The Divine-winged Fox had guessed something from the look on his daughter’s face. His face changed abruptly. He wanted to stop his daughter.

Bi Yan remained silent, but her will was as strong as steel.

“Have you really... come back to life? Are you still the person that you used to be?”

The Gold and Silver King asked doubtfully, staring at Li Mu.

Li Mu ignored her.

He felt the surrounding environment and realized that he was still in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm. Some memories flashed through his mind. “Perhaps I have died once and come back to life...”

The air was filled with the smell of the nine-headed divine bird’s death.

Li Mu had understood the whole thing.

At the most critical moment, the nine-headed divine bird channeled its runic flames of immortality into his body. The nine-colored divine flames enabled him to be reborn.

The ancestors of the six major clans were deceived by his feigned death.

However, there was a price to pay. The nine-headed divine bird was attacked and killed by the ancestors of the six major clans. This ancestor of the Phoenix Clan, who was known to be immortal, eventually died here together with the giant dragon-eating ape, the giant demonic corpse—Li Tian, and Bai Jun the God of War, whom it supported.

Li Mu seemed to feel the will of those ancestors pervading the space between heaven and earth.

He could also feel the power of the divine blood that had merged with his body after his rebirth and the power of the nine-colored divine flames of immortality.

After his rebirth, he had to start from scratch.

At this time, there was no natural qi in his body, and his physical body was just the same as that of an ordinary mortal.

He closed his eyes, regulated his breathing, and performed the Xiantian Skill.

One Small Circulatory Cycle for the first level.

Two Small Circulatory Cycles for the second level.

In the blink of an eye, he had completed eight Small Circulatory Cycles, and his Xiantian Skill had reached the eighth level.

In tens of breaths of time, the natural qi in his body had exceeded the level in his prime.

Then, he performed the Zhenwu Boxing.

After that, he performed the Commencing Pile Gong and threw the first punch, the second punch, and the third punch.

With each move, he felt like he had gotten into his stride. It was the same as the feeling he had when he learned the Zhenwu Boxing from the old faker and practiced it on the Earth. Now, he didn’t feel uncomfortable at all when he practiced. Moreover, he no longer felt the pain of muscle tear that he used to feel when he forcefully practiced the Zhenwu Boxing.

However, the effect of his practice was remarkable and even better than before.

The Gold and Silver King watched Li Mu practicing with a dumbfounded look on her face.

“His cultivation level is rising so fast... Could it be that he can soon become a god after his rebirth?”

In two hours, Li Mu’s cultivation level had soared wildly from the mortal-level to the elementary level of the King Realm. Nourished by the divine blood and the runic flames of immortality, his physical body had become almost as powerful as a divine body, and his physical strength had reached a level beyond the measure of natural qi.
