Semua Bab The Divine Martial Stars: Bab 941 - Bab 950

“Wait, that tree is the portal into the realm of Chaos?” Li Mu was stunned.Li Mu was aware when the tree first appeared at the Hidden-dragon Bay. But the tree’s appearance did not cause any harm to the people nearby and its magical fruits contained power that after consuming them, common people, or even Cultivators would derive tremendous benefits. Hence after observing it for quite some time, Li Mu had pretty much forgotten about it.“Well, that’s all thanks to you for placing an enchantment inside Baoji City. You turned this area into a rich and bounteous place. That is why someone had tossed a seed into the reservoir, thinking that they could invoke some sort of monstrosity from the Battlefield into the city,” said the priest of Randeng Temple, “You don’t know how much trouble I’ve gone through to get this information for you…”Before he even could even finish speaking.“Woof! Old man! Mrs. Sun from Jackpot City mahjong parlor

There was the heir to the Chunyang Clan, Taoist Bumie who had lost his sight. Then there was also the heiress of the Cloud Clan the Cloud Light Saintess, perched on the top of another flower. He could have sworn that he could almost recognize a few other faces from the Immortal-Devil Assembly, although he did not know their names.“But are these people heading to the Battlefield of Chaos too?”Li Mu wondered.These people might be powerful enough in this world, but none of them has power and strength comparable to Li Mu, never mind Bi Yan at her current stage. “Surely sending them into the Battlefield is nothing but sending sheep to the slaughter?” he mused sardonically.More streaking lights approached. More daredevils were racing from all over the reservoir, eager to secure themselves a place on one of the twenty-one giant flowers like commuters who were rushing to get on a subway train.“HMPH!”O

To say that life at Oststern really was difficult was an understatement.With the wilderness filled with wild beasts and monsters, no one dared to step foot far from the village. The dangers that prowled and circled the village were what kept merchant caravans away from these parts. Eventually, the trading routes no longer came this way, leaving Oststern to fend for its own. After all, Oststern had nothing unique to boast of except for the remarkable destitution that the situation had forcibly thrust the villagers into. No one else ever came here anymore, save for an army detachment that would come each year for its periodic conscription. The gains for coming this far weren’t exactly anywhere close to justifying the losses after all.Encompassing barely seven hectares of barren and effete lands limited Oststern to only one kind of crop known as Summer Millet that has a low requirement towards soil fertility, high yield, and helps the villages to stay

“The rusted sword! It’s shaking!“Are the fragments of Shiyu’s soul and psyche around here?!”Li Mu’s eyes lit up anxiously.By that time, Feng had roused up the whole scavenging team.Every one of them knew about the horrific legends of the blood moon. As members of the scavenging hunt, they had heard about how beasts and monsters in the wilderness would fall into a frenzy of rage and bloodlust with all reason and habits forgotten. The jungle itself would become a twisted warren of bloodshed and carnage and the phenomenon of the dual moons would create a distortion in the Time-Space fabric, causing anomalies to happen.Suffice it to say that the perils of being in the wilderness have now increased a thousandfold with the blood moon now shining brightly overhead in all its macabre splendor. Even a regiment of soldiers from the military would gape in despair, never mind an ordinary scavenging hunt of a tiny villa

“That easy?! Is this even real?!”Li Mu could barely believe his luck.Knowing that he needed to be prudent, Li Mu enveloped himself in a layer of magic energy. Like wearing a golden suit of armor, he carefully stepped into the cabin. Nothing happened. Even as he took the crystal ball containing the fragments of Wang Shiyu’s psyche and soul, nothing happened.“What is so special about this crystal ball that it could store a person’s soul inside? Looks like the fragments of Shiyu’s soul and psyche are inside…” Li Mu murmured to himself as he held up the crystalline sphere.Although he quickly realized what was amiss.The image of Wang Shiyu inside the crystal ball evaporated and reformed. Even as the image reconstructed itself, a closer inspection would show that the image was more translucent than it should have been. He could see how his gaze manage to penetrate through it as if it was a thin sheet of papyrus.
