"I searched for a long time but found nothing special."
Hua Xiangrong said simply and directly, "So I tore down the entire Devil Palace of the Southern Devil Court and dug three feet into the ground. Finally, under the throne of the Devil King, I found a statue submerged in the soil and stones. I broke the statue and found this portrait in its brain."
Li Mu: "…"
"Violent demolition."
"Flowers are really … gentle."
He held the portrait in his hand and carefully observed it.
A faintly discernible sense of familiarity flowed out from the portrait.
It made Li Mu have an illusion that looking at the portrait was like looking at a mirror.
"What mystery is contained in this thing?"
Just as Li Mu was pondering, Sun Fei's shouting came from the distance, "Hey, blockhead, now is not the time to exchange tokens and talk about love. If you go on like this, the three of us will vomit blood. Come and help us."
In the battle circle, Sun Fei and the other two were beaten by the Jade Emperor and were all injured.
"Without the power of four elephants, the three peerless masters are no match for the eldest senior fellow apprentice."
"I'm coming."
Li Mu said without looking back.
He carefully opened the Third Eye to observe the portrait, trying to understand the mystery.
But for a moment, he had no clue.
"Blockhead, wow … If you don't come, you will burn joss paper for me next year."
Fei's yelling sounded again.
"I'm going to help."
Hua Xiangrong flashed, turned into a purple light, and rushed into the battle circle.
"Be careful."
This time, Li Mu couldn't stop her. At the moment, he had no time to study the portrait of the North Star Emperor. He quickly put it away, turned into a flowing light, and joined the battle circle.
"Wow …"
Sun Fei shouted angrily, "You are a guy who values love over friendship."
He vomited blood and shouted several times, but Hua Xiangrong ignored him. Then, when his woman joined the battle circle, he immediately followed to help. "I really didn't expect you to be such a blockhead."
Li Mu didn't explain.
Sun Fei and the other two had the body of four elephants, and they had luck. Besides, they were the junior fellow apprentices of the Jade Emperor, so they wouldn't die.
But Hua Xiangrong was different.
She didn't have luck, and she didn't have past grievances.
What if the Jade Emperor killed her?
But this idea seemed to be a sign of valuing love over friendship?
Li Mu followed Hua Xiangrong closely and fought together.
However, Hua Xiangrong's strength was already extremely strong. So, when she cooperated with Li Mu, the effect was surprisingly good.
The five of them joined forces and finally managed to suppress the Jade Emperor.
However, it was still impossible to defeat him in a short period of time.
Li Mu secretly told the three what the Queen Mother of the West had told him, as well as what Hua Xiangrong had found in the South Devil Court.
"Is that so?"
"Something left behind?"
"Soldier's reincarnation?"
Ding Hao, Ye Qingyu, and Sun Fei sent out a series of question marks.
They didn't know much about these things before.
Is this for real?
Li Mu continued, "Hua 'er and I will hold the Jade Emperor back for now. You guys go look for it quickly. The final chance of victory might really lie in those three' things'. If we delay any longer and the Demonic Ancestor awakens, all of us will be killed."
Just the Jade Emperor alone was so powerful that even the combined forces of the Four Great Sects could not defeat him.
If there was a Fiend Ancestor who was theoretically stronger, how could they deal with it?
If this continued, the chance of victory would be slim.
They could only trust the mysterious Queen Mother of the West this time.
"Okay."
"Be careful."
"Don't be stubborn. If you can't beat him, run."
After the three secretly communicated with each other, they found a chance to escape from the battlefield.
The Jade Emperor tried to stop them several times, but he was held back by Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong.
"Hahaha, I gave you a fair chance to fight, but you didn't know how to cherish it," the Jade Emperor said, "Junior Brother North Star, please die first."
The horrible pressure came toward Li Mu.
Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong cooperated and struggled to resist.
Fortunately, the two of them were connected. One plus one was greater than two, so the joint attack was not defeated in a short time.
The portrait of the North Star Emperor kept flashing in Li Mu's mind.
Intuition told him that there was a big secret in the painting.
But he couldn't find a way to crack it.
He even tried to activate the power in the painting like he did with the slough of the Taoist Master.
But he failed.
Because he couldn't get any feedback from the painting.
What was the secret?
Somehow, Li Mu felt that something was missing.
The Jade Emperor's attack became more and more aggressive.
Boom!
Wherever the Sword Intent went, the void was broken.
Hua Xiangrong was hit and sent flying. Her blood spilled in the sky.
Li Mu reversed time and cured Hua Xiangrong's injury.
The balance was gradually lost.
Puff!
Li Mu's body was pierced by the spear.
Blood flew.
Time was reversed again.
Boom! Boom!
The time bombs that Li Mu had planted around the Jade Emperor suddenly exploded.
Time reversed and drowned the Jade Emperor.
But the next moment, the space was cut and the time bombs were moved to the front of Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong. The Jade Emperor was unharmed.
Li Mu reversed time again.
"Let's see how much time you can reverse …"
The Jade Emperor sneered.
The next moment, the whole battlefield and the space within a radius of hundreds of miles was directly sealed, completely isolated from the outside world.
Moreover, large tracts of space seemed to have been frozen by mysterious ice, constantly solidifying.
The space where Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong were was constantly shrinking.
The smaller the space, the smaller the space on the mountain wall.
The range of time reversal also became smaller.
Time was a line.
By constantly twisting the line, Li Mu's Law of Time prevented what had already happened from affecting him. But if the line was covered with the Jade Emperor's killing intent, no matter how hard he tried to twist the line, he would still be covered by the Jade Emperor's killing intent.
Time would become meaningless.
Sooner or later, he would die.
Obviously, this was the way the Jade Emperor had long thought of to deal with Li Mu's law.
Li Mu's face became solemn.
The balance of the battle was reversed again.
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
Both Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong were bleeding profusely, and their injuries were getting worse.
"Don't tell me the three guys have run away? Haven't they found 'the thing'?"
Li Mu gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.
"Everything has come to an end."
The Jade Emperor's eyes were full of cold killing intent. "Even if you reincarnate for thousands of years, you are destined to be a skeleton. You can't go against nature. Gou Chen, go."
Boom!
The space was completely frozen in an instant.
Then, it suddenly broke.
It was not just the space in front of them that was broken.
Within two hours, all the space in the timeline was shattered.
No matter how Li Mu twisted the time, he would end up with death in this period.
And this period was the upper limit of Li Mu's ability to twist time according to the Jade Emperor's observation.
