Chapter 972 - Forceful Seclusion
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Li Yunmu calmly listened to Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu talking about his past, but he couldn’t help but be emotionally moved by it. Every man yearned for such a wife. What else could a husband request after marrying such a woman?
At that moment, Li Yunmu was fully convinced of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s words. In order to subdue the ryukyu spirit pearl, he didn’t hesitate even when his heavy sword refined by his wife’s body was destroyed. No man would dare to lie about something like that.
“Then why did you set up an evil formation like that spirit refining formation in the Yin Imperial Palace? Is it to resurrect and take revenge on those people? Then what’s the difference between you and Yin Devil Sovereign?!”
Although Li Yunmu sympathized with Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, it didn’t mean that he could use his experiences as an excuse to commit unspeakable evils!
“Haha, I have already wiped out those people. The spirit refining formation wasn’t set up by me, but the Yin Devil Sovereign,” Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu explained with a bitter smile.
“At that time, when everyone thought they destroyed Yin Devil Sovereign, they didn’t consider that he might have hidden his soul in the ryukyu spirit pearl. Because I used my full strength to subdue it, I also didn’t see it until it was too late.”
After Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu said that, his gaze turned red, and a monsterous hatred engulfed the place. The surrounding void turned red, and a wave of killing intent increased the pressure on Li Yunmu dramatically.
“That Yin Devil Sovereign used the opportunity when I had just subdued the ryukyu spirit pearl and didn’t have the time to recover to enter my body and make a nest for himself!” Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu said with hatred.
“Fortunately, I had many trump cards in my hand, so I destroyed my body and kept a wisp of my soul in the ryukyu spirit pearl. Moreover, I made it so that if my soul is wiped out, the ryukyu spirit pearl will also be destroyed. Because of that, the devil didn’t dare to completely erase my existence!”
As Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu spoke, his body filled with an aggressive presence. His words spoke of a true heavenly emperor of ancient times. Even if he had to destroy a great treasure, he wouldn’t leave it for the enemy.
It made Li Yunmu admire him even more.
Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu continued his story after some time. “But when all’s said and done, his soul was more powerful than mine, so he sealed me here and maintained the Yin Imperial Palace in my name. He laid down the spirit refining spell and massacred groups of innocents one after another to restore his soul. Fortunately, I secretly built a teleport portal at the end of the stairs because of which you were able to find me.”
When Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu said that, his voice filled with helplessness and bitterness, and the surrounding environment also returned to the pitch-black from before.
“It was my misunderstanding senior.”
At that moment, all the misunderstandings that Li Yunmu had toward Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu were cleared. Moreover, given his conduct, it wasn’t an exaggeration to call him a senior.
Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu looked at the change in Li Yunmu’s behaviour and nodded, without bothering about the previous misunderstanding that Li Yunmu had toward him. He was well aware that regardless of who was in Li Yunmu’s place, as long as they weren’t acquainted with his situation, they would think the same way.
“Oh right senior, why did you teleport me here?”
“So that I can enquire about the situation in the outside world and check the strength of all the youngsters with potential. Even if Yin Devil Sovereign is injured, his strength cannot be underestimated. How could I just watch everyone in the younger generation with potential being sent off to their death?” Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu said.
When Li Yunmu heard it, his admiration toward Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu became even deeper. He cupped his hands and asked, “Senior, what do you think of my strength?”
Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu smiled. “Far from sufficient. The Yin Devil Sovereign has already recovered his strength to quasi emperor realm, so your present strength is lacking a little bit, so I decided to keep you here for seclusion.”
When Li Yunmu heard the words of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, he was dumbfounded. Seclusion? The place they were in didn’t have anything, so how could he enter seclusion there? Could it be that he would be forced to meditate in the void until the time he was allowed to leave?
Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu took note of Li Yunmu’s pained face, and he smiled and waved his hand. The next second, Li Yunmu felt a boundless pressure pushing the surrounding space toward him.
He hurriedly circulated his energy to deal with it and found it a pain in the neck. Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu smiled, and the next instant, his presence amplified. It meant Li Yunmu had to deal with an even heavier pressure.
“Youngster, cultivating here with me is pretty good. I am not very severe, and dying here with me is much better than being killed by Yin Devil Sovereign outside,” Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu said with a wide smile.
Li Yunmu clenched his teeth, but his breathing grew ragged because of the surrounding pressure. At that moment, he had already unleashed his full strength, but it was barely enough to resist being forced to his knees.
As he held on, his soul got stronger and stronger.
“Oh? You still have a little strength left. I want to see the exact level of your strength!”
Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu saw that Li Yunmu was surprisingly able to resist it, and his opinion of Li Yunmu rose higher.
Previously, when he just sensed Li Yunmu’s strength, he intentionally suppressed him. Apart from wanting to see Li Yunmu’s limits, he also wanted to teach a lesson to this youngster for his misunderstanding.
Although Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu had said that he didn’t mind it on the outside, if Li Yunmu thought of him not as the most formidable person of ancient times, but a two-faced heavenly emperor, he would probably spit out blood.
Such an act was not the behaviour of a powerhouse, but simply a child throwing a tantrum.
“I also want to have a taste of the power of a heavenly emperor of ancient times!”
Li Yunmu clenched his teeth, still not agreeing to yield. The two men had the same temperament, and it was part of the reason why Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu liked him so much.
Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s presence rose again, and Li Yunmu felt a sudden increase in pressure that made his legs go soft. They were about to bend.
Li Yunmu roared at that moment, and the dark energy circulated in his body. He could not kneel! Even if his legs shattered, even if his life came to an end there, he could not kneel!
With the support of the dark energy, Li Yunmu was again able to resist Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s presence.
Afterwards, the two began increasing their strength, and the surrounding space started to crumble under their powerful presences.
One week. One month.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed. At that moment, Li Yunmu could already move unobstructed under the most powerful pressure.
Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu was astonished by Li Yunmu’s tenacity and potential. It has to be known that although he was only a wisp of a soul, his presence could still be compared to that of a half step heavenly emperor.
Yet Li Yunmu was still able to bear it. His aptitudes could be compared to his own, and it was extremely good.
Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu nodded in satisfaction. The child’s potential was pretty good.
Previously, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu had only put on a bold face and chosen to take a gamble by nurturing Li Yunmu. But what caught him off-guard was that Li Yunmu’s potential was not only comparable to his own at the initial stage, but might even be slightly better.
