Ao Qing had already been dead for 8000 years. Even the dragon race had forgotten about him. Yet, there was someone who could recognize his weapon and call out his name. As Li Mu thought about this, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He didn't know that this spear was originally called 'Heaven Breaker'.
When he saw that iconic spear, fear surged from the depths of his memories, causing the nefarious youth to tremble. However, he soon realized something. As he looked at Li Mu, he was overjoyed. He blurted out, "So it's you!"
Li Mu became even more vigilant. He asked, "Do you know who I am?"
The nefarious youth coldly snorted and said, "The future headmaster of the Fu-lu School, the favored minister of the Empress of the Great Zhou, the Imperial Advisor and Empress of the Thousand Fox Nation … Li Mu, do you think you can hide from me just because you've become a bit uglier?"
Li Mu's gaze turned cold. He didn't know anything about this person, but this person was able to accurately identify him. Even his secret relationship with Phantom Princess had been revealed. In this world, the only people who knew him better than he did were those from the demonic path.
Li Mu looked at the youth and asked, "Which demonic path Elder are you?"
The youth stood in the air, his eyes locked onto Li Mu. He said, "Before answering you, should I call you Li Mu or Ao Qing?"
Ao Qing had already been dead for almost 10,000 years. Li Mu didn't know why this youth would ask such a question. But, the doubt hidden deep in his eyes couldn't escape the youth's notice.
The nefarious youth revealed a look of understanding. He let out a sigh of relief and muttered, "It's not Ao Qing …"
The person in front of him gave him a very strange feeling. Li Mu had never encountered such an opponent before. He grasped his spear and thrust it forward. The void fluctuated and Li Mu's spear-wielding figure appeared behind the nefarious youth, thrusting his spear towards his back.
The youth's body suddenly turned into a mass of blood. As the spear pierced through, a portion of the blood evaporated, but the youth's figure reformed not too far away.
Azure light and blood shadows crisscrossed in the sky. Even with the Sky Piercing Spear in hand, Li Mu was still unable to gain the slightest advantage.
At this moment, the mysteries in his heart were piling up one after another.
Although the young man in front of him was young, his fighting experience was frighteningly rich. Moreover, he could recognize the powerhouse of the Dragon Clan from eight thousand years ago. Could he be an old monster from the ancient times?
As soon as this idea appeared, it was rejected by Li Mu.
No matter how strong a cultivator was, they couldn't escape the ravages of time and the sanctions of their lifespans. The old monsters of that time couldn't have lived until now.
Furthermore, if this person was really an old monster that had lived since the Antiquity Age, he would not only have the cultivation of Dongxuan. At this moment, Li Mu's first thought was Emperor Bai. Before his lifespan ended, he had extracted his memories and passed them on for three thousand years. To a certain extent, his life had also been extended.
If this person was a powerhouse from the same era as Ao Qing, he had extracted his memories and left them to fuse with another person or passed them on again and again, then everything that happened today could be explained.
Including the fact that he recognized the Sky Piercing Spear. His fighting experience was unbelievably rich. With nearly ten thousand years of accumulation, how could he not be rich?
The sinister young man's hands turned into two blood blades and easily neutralized Li Mu's attack. With a faint smile on his face, he said, "I've searched high and low for something, only to find it without any effort. The successor of Ao Qing, it's fate that you'll die in my hands today. Hand over the Tomes of Arcane on you as soon as possible, and I'll give you a dignified death …"
Li Mu looked at him and said indifferently, "Even if you're an old monster from ten thousand years ago, you're only in the Dongxuan Realm now. You're not qualified to kill me now."
The sinister young man grinned and said slowly, "Junior, you'll soon know whether I'm qualified or not …"
He threw out four black lotuses. The black lotuses flew in four directions and connected to each other with a black light, confining this space.
Li Mu knew that this was to prevent him from escaping. This old monster was too strong and had too much experience. He was more difficult to deal with than anyone Li Mu had ever fought. By confining the space in advance, it meant that he was not afraid of any of Li Mu's trump cards. This was just to prevent him from escaping.
Following the imprisonment of space, a curtain of blood rose from behind the evil-looking youth. The thick smell of blood was nauseating. At the same time, Li Mu discovered that the blood in the youth's body was showing signs of leaking out of his body.
Li Mu originally thought that with his current strength, it would be easy for him to deal with a Sixth Realm Heretical Cultivation cultivator.
However, there was a slight change in the situation now. If he really fought with him to the death, even if he could get rid of him, Li Mu would definitely be seriously injured, or even die together with him.
He looked at the blood shadow that was attacking him again. Without hesitation, an ancient bow appeared in his hand.
With the appearance of the Sun Shooting Bow, the blood shadow that was attacking him stopped abruptly. Then, he heard a voice that was even more shocked and terrified than when he saw the Sky Splitter Spear.
"Sun Shooting Bow! Why is Ao Xuan's Sun Shooting Bow in your hands too?!"
The blood shadow quickly retreated when he saw the Sun Shooting Bow. However, before he could escape, he had to break free from the confinement of this space, which slowed him down for a moment.
In just a moment, a golden arrow suddenly arrived, stirring up a burst of spatial turbulence.
…
South Sea.
On an island shrouded in black fog.
At the top of the tower, a soul kneeled in front of a stone coffin and said respectfully, "Third Ancestor, a month ago, for some reason, the Soul Page enshrined in the Hall of Souls suddenly vibrated non-stop. I felt that there might be a reason behind it, so I immediately came here to report."
The ghostly fire in the eyes of the skinny old man that was as thin as a skeleton trembled. He immediately said, "Feng Yi."
An old man that was waiting at the side immediately went forward and said, "Third Ancestor, please give your orders."
The skeletal old man said, "The Soul Page is a copy of the Ghost Dao Heavenly Book. The vibration of the Soul Page means that the Ghost Dao Heavenly Book is in the Ghost Realm of Youdu. I order you to immediately head to the Ghost Realm and bring that Heavenly Book back."
Feng Yi bowed and said, "Yes."
After saying that, he looked at the soul shadow beside him and said, "King Qinguang, let's go."
After they left, the lid of another stone coffin beside the skeletal old man suddenly opened, and a woman's voice came from within. "After five hundred years, the Ghost Dao Heavenly Book has finally appeared. Aren't you going to make a trip personally?"
The skeletal old man clutched his chest and said, "Tian Jizi won't allow me to set foot on the continent. Although this person's Dao skills aren't strong, his arithmetic is one of the most difficult opponents I've met in the past few thousand years."
The woman said leisurely, "All these years, many ninth realm cultivators have died in our hands. Now, a mere eighth realm cultivator is enough to make you so fearful …"
The skeletal old man said indifferently, "Today is different from the past. In the past, it was easy to advance to the ninth realm. Now, I've exhausted my lifespan and have only just stepped into the eighth realm. If I still can't find that door, in a few hundred years, when my lifespan is exhausted, I'm afraid I'll be stuck at the seventh realm."
The woman thought about it and said, "It's a Heavenly Book after all. Send a message to Blood River."
The skeletal old man said, "Blood River is in the Demon Country. He needs to transcend as soon as possible. As long as he succeeds in breaking through, he will be invincible below Dao Integration. When that time comes, it will be the day we make a move on the Dao Sect …"
The woman was silent for a moment before asking, "Will he encounter any accidents in the Demon Country alone? In these ten thousand years, memories have been passed down through reincarnation. Of the dozens of senior and junior brothers in the sect, only the few of us are left …"
The skeletal old man's voice was steady as he said, "Don't worry. With his current abilities, as long as he doesn't meet Tian Jizi, he can deal with any situation. It won't be a big problem for him to be alone in the Demon Country."
As his voice fell, a jade talisman hanging on the wall of the pagoda suddenly shattered.
