The Song Of The Prince Of Lanling Entering The Battle Camp was a military song, pushing the power of what was originally "rites, music and expeditionse from the Son of Heaven" to the peak. The aloof Dream In A Millennium seemed to follow the Mandate of Heaven, her every word and action the basis ofw.
"This is not good."
The more Su Mian unted her power, the more Chen Mo felt that she was bluffing. He grew increasingly worried for Su Mian.
"Announcing Heavenly Ancestor Star ‘Ninefold Dragon Edict'' Zhao Kuangyin!" Dongzi''s resonant voice echoed throughout Central, shocking everyone.
After the Prince Of Lanling entered the hall, "Ninefold Dragon Edict" Zhao Kuangyin Zhao Luotong also strode forth. The girl was dressed in her yellow robe, a True Dragon specter manifested over her body. The moment she appeared, she drew everyone''s gazes.
The legendary Song Zhao Star Name had subordinated herself to Su Mian, making everyone unable to help but feel reverence.
Prior toing here, Su Mian had already mentioned she would have Zhao Kuangyin Zhao Luotong appear at the Feng and Shan Sacrifice and allow her to invest the new Sixteen Star Marquis, establishing a new Star Kingdom. By doing so, not only could Su Mian receive the fealty of Song Zhao''s Purple Rose Star Name that even her father was unable to back then, she could even avoid friction between their sides. This was considered an oue to everyone''s satisfaction. Originally, Chen Mo had even thought there was nothing, but seeing the "rites, music, and expeditionse from the Son of heaven" grandeur she built up before, the more he felt things were not too simple.
"Zhao Kuangyin Zhao Luotong greets Your Majesty Mian." The girl cupped her fist.
"Father Emperor once left behind a yellow robe. After the sacrifice, This Pce shall confer it to you and invest you as Zhao Kuangyin, Star Marquis of Precipice Mountain!""Zhao Kuangyin epts this order!"
…
"Yuwen Tai, Tuoba Tao has been killed. This Pce is extremely heartbroken to hear that. Henceforth, the Star Marquis position of the Xianbei Star Kingdom shall be passed on to you to oversee, Heavenly Master. Are you willing?" Su Mian said to Yuwen Tai of the Xianbei Star Kingdom.
Very few remained of the Xianbei Star Kingdom''s Eight Pirs Kingdom and the Xifu Great Generals. Their losses had been catastrophic, and as the head of the Eight Pirs Kingdom, Yuwen Tai long already had the qualifications to be Star Marquis. To invest her as a new Star Marquis, other people like "Bloody Solitary Excellence" Dugu Xin and "One Arrow Peerage" Yuwen Gui would not be dissatisfied.
"Many thanks for your favor, Your Majesty Mian. Yuwen Tai Yuwen Jinghong epts this order." Yuwen Jinghong lowered her face, her expression hidden from view.
Then, there was another segment ofplicated ceremonies, all summoning Star Marquis for awards and such. Chen Mo noticed that Huo Qubing of Central''s Twin Stars was surprisingly not in this ceremony. Regardless of the sacrifice or if she was facing Xiang Yu, as one of Central''s Twin Stars, the greatest genius Star General of the present Star World should not be absent. But Su Mian apparently did not care.
Chen Mo watched the girl''s calm, ice-cold attitude with some bewilderment.
After a ceremony, Su Mian walked to the Feng and Shan altar high up and lit incense.
Everyone rose and then bowed.
Dream In A Millennium recited the Feng and Shan litany: "I, heir to Emperor Su, Son of Heaven, dare to proim to the Xuannü Of The Nine Heavens: Heaven enlightened the Su Family, and fortune begat virtue. The Purple Rose Star Emperor was ordained the ultimate, bringing prosperity to thend. The Xuannü''s folk, having bestowed loyal officials and generals, pacified internal strife and endorsed the Son of Heaven."
Su Mian sincerely prayed to Heaven, each word heard clear through the world, powerful and resounding, spreading everywhere.
The Central Star Field was serene.
Dream In A Millennium shut her eyes and was quiet for a time. The flow of time had stopped.
The Heaven-supporting pir faintly manifested from the sea of clouds. Chen Mo sensed the Primeval Chaos True Qi and Primordial Star Energy in his body re to life.
Legend said this "Maiden Mountain" was linked to the Xuannü Of The Nine Heavens, that it was the eternal ce of Star Names.
Millions of Star Names looked at this holynd.
A long time afterwards, Su Mian finally opened her eyes. She inserted a candle, and the candlelight ignited a starlight.
"Star Warrior Chen Mo, step forth!" Dong Zhongshu''s voice was ice-cold.
Chen Mo took a step forward and arrived at the center, facing everyone''s attention.
"You have an appointment with the Four Lords Of The Warring States. Her Majesty Mian has already granted you favor. During today''s Feng and Shan Sacrifice, should you emerge victorious, you shall be conferred the name ‘Without Ultimate Star Emperor.'' Should you lose, you will have tarnished this name, and you will pledge fealty to the Central Star Field. Are you willing?" Dong Zhongshu fully disyed her True Qi. Although she was seriously wounded, she had quite the sternness as the Master of Heaven and Man. ?
The "Delta Ursae Majoris Stone" was the Central Star Field''s treasure. To obtain it, a price must be paid. Chen Mo realized this.
"Your Servant Chen Mo is willing to battle." Chen Mo calmly answered.
"Chen Mo, if you can receive the fame of a Star Emperor, This Pce can govern Star World together with you." Su Mian smiled. "Are you willing?"
When she spoke, everyone in the Purple Forbidden Enclosure was bbergasted.
"What does this mean. Govern Star World together? Elder Sister Qinghan, is she proposing?" Mo Huang''s jaw dropped.
Chen Qinghan slightly wrinkled her brow, not uttering a word.
Not only Mo Huang, but Liu Xiu Liu Houxiu, Liu Che Liu Hongyu, and the other Star Marquis in the Purple Forbidden Enclosure showed astonishment.
Even Li Shimin showed a strange expression.
Are you willing??
Chen Mo stared nkly at Dream In A Millennium''s limpid eyes that were filled with sincerity.
Are you willing?
These words echoed in his mind. They were apparently an invitation, yet they also seemed like a promise…The answer, "I am willing," originally should have been blurted out, but for some reason, a voice in his heart told him that he would lose this girl if he gave such a response.
"I am unwilling to govern Star World, but I am willing to be your friend, Your Majesty."
Everyone felt incredulous at Chen Mo''s answer.
Did this man realize he had refused Dream In A Millennium''s kindness? This was something countless in Star World dreamed for but would never have, yet he actually could refuse her so easily.
"Just what is this Chen Mo''s identity." Huang Yuheng was a bit unhappy.
"Remember, Her Majesty Mian once sought out Yuan Tiangang to divine his identity. Yuan Tiangang said only four words – He bears Without Ultimate." These words signified that he did not belong to this world. "Hundred Generations Exemry Writer" Han Yu Han Fuqing conceived of a wild idea, making the Eternal Schr even more displeased.<sup>1</sup>
"To dare challenge the Four Lords Of The Warring States, no matter what his identity is, it is not worth mentioning." Han Yu said.
"Enough talk. Do you think that the Central Star Field is a ce you can dip your finger into?" The Four Lords Of The Warring States were apparently very displeased their names were being exploited by a man.
Chen Mo soared into the air with a single bound. The space between the Three Enclosures suddenly dispersed like a ripple. Several screens appeared, and these screens immediately depicted Chen Mo and the Four Lords Of The Warring States in detail; everyone in the Three Enclosures could see.
"Sword Hidden In The Box" Jian Shu, "Lord Xinling" Wei Wuji, "Stern Lord" Chuli Ji, and "God Of ughter" Bai Qi.
The Star Names of the Four Lords Of The Warring States all came from the Warring States Period, which was as dangerous as the time of primordial chaos. Each of those able to rise above other Star Names for this period were all geniuses. However, aside from Bai Qi, the others stagnated around Xuannü Realm Early Stage. They were not considered overwhelmingly powerful. This was one of the reasons Chen Mo dared to challenge them.
But his Five Emperors Seal could not necessarily subdue the unexcelled God Of ughter.
"This martial arts contest during the Feng and Shan Sacrifice makes no distinction between life and death, that is all. Understand?" Dongzi conveyed Su Mian''s decree.
The Four Lords Of The Warring States dispersed to their individual positions and indicated they understood.
"Allow me, Lord Xinling, to probe the Without Ultimate Star Emperor." "Lord Xinling" Wei Wuji strolled up into the air to face Chen Mo.
The woman wore ancient-style clothes and a cap, and a jade ornament in the fashion of a twin-headed dragon hung at her waist.
The jade amulet was a type of ancient ritual vessel; only those of illustrious noble or royal lineage could wear it. The Rites of Zhou had a saying about "Six Auspicious Jades," that the ancient sacrifices to Heaven and Earth had ritual vessels in the four directions, that jade<sup>2</sup> was offered to Heaven, <i>cong</i><sup>3</sup> to Earth, <i>gui</i><sup>4</sup> to the east, <i>wu</i><sup>5</sup> to the west, <i>zhang</i><sup>6</sup> to the south, and <i>huang</i><sup>7</sup> to the north. This was a very old type of ritual.
Most Star Names actually would not wear this.
Seeing that red twin-headed dragon jade <i>huang</i>, Chen Mo realized the woman in front of him was not simple.
"Never has a man dared to challenge us Four Lords Of The Warring States. Wuji is not sure why Her Majesty would agree to something so preposterous, but hopefully, you will not disgrace Her Majesty''s reputation and will be able tost a few bouts, to make Wuji see you in a new light." Lord Xinling Wei Wuji was graceful and elegant. From her, one was able to profoundly feel what "a gentleman''s friendship, insipid as water" meant.
But this type of tranquility did not mean she was easy to face.
"You will see me in a new light." Chen Mo answered.
Wei Wuji nodded. All of a sudden, the wind gusted, and an elbow strike approached. She was like a cannon, her arm carrying mountain-toppling force and speed like a bow as she struck Chen Mo.
The power of her strike was tremendous. The jade <i>huang</i> glowed with a blood-light, making her arm as heavy as a crossbow bolt. Even the average Star Warrior could not block this.
Faced with this crossbow strike, Chen Mo did not retreat. He took a few steps through the air. His person was like the Without Ultimate, and his hands drew the Dual Modes, colliding firmly with Wei Wuji''s Earthly Elbow Strike. They shed fiercely, making the world quake. Surprisingly, this fierce impact did not jolt them off of each other.
Wei Wuji was a bit surprised. Next, she raised her hand, shaped like a talon. This was Dark Rank "Raptor Dragon." A bloody wind gusted, forming a blood-colored hawk. This ancient and ritualistic young lord was bloody and graceful. Chen Mo roared, and the ck Turtle''s specter manifested. The ck Turtle was the protector of the north, and it mmed into her Raptor Dragon.
Lord Xinling''s Raptor Dragon was unable to break through the ck Turtle.
Chen Mo''s fingers extended, and his body circted the power of the ck Turtle. He then threw a punch, and his fist that was as heavy as a mountain released an ear-splitting noise.
The woman''s eardrums ruptured and bled. She immediately used Earth Rank "Great Roc Ny Thousand Li." Her arms pped like wings, and her body soared up then down, covering the world with killing intent. She was like furious thunder, the rage of a king, the momentum of torrent of blood from millions of corpses.
The jade <i>huang</i> hovered and glowed.
This Star Weapon immediately twinkled with seven stars.
Chen Mo was unfazed. He activated the Purple Rose Star Eyes, and the Body of the ck Turtle rose, indomitable. Wei Wuji''s Earth Rank wasidpletely bare to his eyes. The Purple Rose Star Eyes were not only able to see through star trails, they couldprehend the principles of Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow. Simrly, an Earth Rank emerged to match the ck Turtle''s soul.
Great Roc Ny Thousand Li mmed into Chen Mo. Wu Weiji was aghast to discover her attack that was able to bring a Lord Of Heaven into the nine firmaments and tear them asunder was surprisingly unable to budge even the hem of this man''s clothes.
"How is this man so powerful!"
The Body of the ck Turtle made a feeling of powerlessness appear in Wu Weiji''s heart, but Wu Weiji was unwilling to lose in front of so many people. Anger appeared in her heart, and the jade <i>huang</i>‘s blood-light wrapped around her body.
As one worthy of the title of Four Lords Of The Warring States, Wu Weiji''s Star Weapon was honestly the wind of a gentleman. Devoid of any killing intent, it could only bolster a Star General''s innate strength and Realm.
Wei Wuji''s fists attacked. Three punch-shadows became the figures of three ancient emperors, thundering over Chen Mo with supreme might from antiquity.
Phoenix Earth Rank – Greet The Three Emperors!
Chen Mo was expressionless, his fingers forming a seal. Wei Wuji''s Three Emperors were nothing more than an empty shadow. How could they be a match for the genuine Five Emperors Seal.
"Without Ultimate True Qi, Five Emperors Seal ck Turtle – break!"
Chen Mo mixed the might of the Five Emperors into the ck Turtle. Urging on his Star Energy, the outstanding ck Turtle specter boldly blocked the three punches.
Impossible!!
The color drained from Wei Wuji''s face.
The Without Ultimate True Qi covered her Phoenix Earth Rank, and Chen Mo counterattacked. A flurry of punch-shadows struck Wei Wuji, making her dodges appear sluggish and unable to evade in time. She could only use her arms to block. Blocking an unknown number of punches, she did not expect Chen Mo to suddenly pivot. The Northern Dipper staff was brandished, smashing the woman in the back.
The jade <i>huang</i> could not withstand this.
Bam!
Lord Xinling was struck by the staff and smashed straight into the ground. After Chen Mo knocked down Wei Wuji, he did not continue his attack at all. Rather, he turned his gaze to the next.
"Earth Rank – Bright And Clear Copse!"
"Sword Hidden In The Box" Jian Shu''splexion was a faint red. Her rouge lips slightly parted and spat out a white arrow. The sword-box on her back suddenly opened, and an enormous radiance burst forth from within, covering the two extremes.<ol><li id="fn-47744-1"> OK, so how did these two survive the sneak attack by that other Star General? ?</li><li id="fn-47744-2"> 璧 ?</li><li id="fn-47744-3"> 琮 ?</li><li id="fn-47744-4"> 圭 ?</li><li id="fn-47744-5"> 烏 ?</li><li id="fn-47744-6"> 璋 ?</li><li id="fn-47744-7"> 璜 ?</li></ol>
