The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 451 If You Are Not Afraid of Death, Come and Chase Me

“Our homeland is behind us, and we have no chance to retreat. Battle, battle, and contribute our last drop of blood for the Heavenly Courts.”

A voice echoed on the road ahead.

In the vast desert, the sand and wind were flying. On the high dune, a 10-meter-high god supported a broken flag and stood on the top of the dune, blocking the way.

But in fact, this god had already died.

There was a silver nail inserted between his eyebrows, which had been directly shot through the back of his head and killed the deity’s Primordial Spirit. However, his cultivation was too sophisticated. His fighting intent and will did not disappear. Even though thousands of years had passed, he was still existing around the sand dune.

Li Mu and the others could not pass under the sand dune.

This was because there was an invisible killing intent circulating around the god, which was like a killing zone. Even if a small stone was thrown into it, it would trigger the chaotic currents, and it would be a dead-end in an instant. The obsession and fighting intent of this god were also extremely terrible, which could destroy the soul of a martial arts expert.

His body, like a city wall, blocked the way, as if he were the man holding the pass, which could not be broken through by 10,000 men. It was as if even the ruler of heaven and earth would not be able to pass by.

“Fight, fight!”

“Protect the Ancestor’s Land, fight for every inch of land.”

The will activated his last roar, which resounded between heaven and earth and did not dissipate.

For Li Mu and the others, the most terrible thing was that this deity blocked the way of the Immortal Path.

Li Mu carefully observed and confirmed that the Immortal Path was right in front of him, so he had to pass through this sand dune and across this dead god. There was no other way.

Obviously, the Immortal Path that had been passed down a thousand years ago had some deviation. Perhaps he walked across the desert by using his strong cultivation, but the strength of Li Mu and the others was not enough.

“What should I do?”

Li Mu and the others looked at each other in dismay.

He didn’t expect that the Immortal Path would end in a dead-end.

“The elders and experts of other sects also have maps, so they will come here sooner or later. At this time, they must have stepped on the Immortal Path and come to the world of the ginseng fruit tree.” Qing Feng rubbed his temples and said, “Basically, we have no way out.”

Everyone’s hearts sank.

Qing Feng was as intellectual as a demon, since his previous judgments turned out to be right.

This Immortal Path was a one-way road. If they looked back now, they would definitely meet the people from all the outer-space sects, and it would be more dangerous.

Li Mu looked at the four-man group.

The four became quite terrified immediately.

They instinctively felt that they would be asked to explore the path and forcefully pass through this desert.

“Master, we...” the hook-nosed man said with a wry smile, trying to plead with him.

Li Mu shook his head directly and said, “No need to say more.”

The four felt desperate.

But at this time, they saw Li Mu say to Wang Shiyu, “Xiao Yu, lend me the Purple-ribbon Holy Robe.”

Wang Shiyu was stunned. With a flick of her mind, the Purple-ribbon Holy Robe was put on Li Mu’s body and turned into a purple robe, enveloping him.

Li Mu opened his Third Eye to observe the terrain and then walked step by step toward the sand dune.

“Younger brother...” Guo Yuqing wanted to stop him, but he didn’t say it when it came to his mouth. He just said, “Be careful.”

Li Mu nodded and carefully walked toward the desert.

In the end, he didn’t make up his mind to order the four to do so.

On the one hand, he had a little sympathy for the four and it was necessary to leave some kindling for Hun Yuan Sect. On the other hand, Li Mu could see that it was useless to ask these four people to go and check the situation since they could not find out anything.

As he got closer to the sand dune, Li Mu only felt that a stream of fierce auras was about to tear him to pieces through the Purple-ribbon Holy Robe, on which there were dense and tiny runes circulating to resist the external force.

When he arrived at the sand dune, Li Mu opened his Third Eye and fully activated his spiritual force to look around and search for the possible gaps and flaws in this killing intent field in order to find a safe route.

He walked slowly, step by step, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back.

At the same time, he passed the structure of the domain according to his Third Eye to Qing Feng, whose accomplishments in formations and domains were far greater than Li Mu’s and could be of great help to Li Mu.

“Three steps left, one right, forward, two right, forward... one back...” Qing Feng’s voice constantly rang around Li Mu.

Finally, it took Li Mu two hours to get to the left side of the dead god on the sand dune.

Looking around, he was shocked by the scene behind the sand dune.

There were a rusted bronze chariot, a broken black iron ship, broken sun discs hundreds of meters long, and broken divine weapons and ancient armor. The bodies of the dead warriors were half-buried in the sand, some of which had turned into yellow-golden skeletons, emitting immortal divine fluctuations, while others seemed alive, except their primordial spirit was destroyed and dispersed...

This was a terrifying place in the Battlefield of Gods and Demons.

He could tell that this was a battle camp of the Ancient Celestial Court. In order to protect the Ancestor’s Land and fight against the enemies, they had fought to the death. In the end, they all died in this desert.

It was highly possible that, in the past, this place was not a desert but a heavily defended city of the Ancient Heavenly Courts. In battle, it was destroyed by the power of the Fiendgods, and the flourishing city thus turned into a desert, covering up the dead soldiers.

Now there was another problem.

There were simply too many dead warriors in this desert. Their will and the remnants of the power of the ancient battlefield still could be sensed. It was also very dangerous, although not as much as the divine sand dune. It would still take a long time for one to pass through.

As Li Mu was about to open up a safe road, he suddenly sensed something. When he looked back, he saw several groups of soldiers approaching from a distance in a hush.

The men of the outer-space sects were coming.

Li Mu was so frightened that he had no time to embark on a new road, so he immediately turned back.

“The outer-space sects are coming... Let’s go.”

He returned the Purple-ribbon Holy Robe to Wang Shiyu, and then asked everyone to use their own Taoist treasures to protect themselves. Following the path they had just explored, they directly entered the desert and began to climb the hill.

In the killing intent field, under the influence of the god’s obsession and battle intent, everyone walked very slowly, like a child bearing a heavy load.

Especially Wang Shiyu, Qing Feng, and the others, who had only walked a few hundred meters. With the support of Li Mu and Guo Yuqing, they still had already turned pale and were sweating heavily.

As Li Mu looked back, he could see the chasing soldiers coming from a distance.

Without affecting the already known safe route, he laid down a small illusory formation to block the gods’ obsessiveness, battle intent, and voices.

At this time, the people from the outer-space sects finally arrived at the sand dune.

They were from the Tianyi Palace, led by an elder of the Soldier Realm, including dozens of disciples and eight figures in black imperial robes.

“It’s them. He’s Li Mu.” A middle-aged man, who looked very similar to the Human Emperor of the Northern Song dynasty, pointed to Li Mu and the others, who were about to climb up the sand dune in front of him, and said, “It’s him, who secretly killed Senior Brother Yue...”

A cold light flashed in the elder’s eyes.

“The little indigenous person even dared to murder the disciple of the Tianyi Palace.”

“Kill him,” the elder didn’t want to talk nonsense, so he said directly.

“Right.”

The two disciples, who had broken through the second realm of the Life and Death Bridge, pulled out their swords and rushed out quickly to chase Li Mu.

However, just as they rushed to the yellow sand area, a kind of extremely terrible aura surged, as if the sleeping massacre god was awake.

“Puff!”

Blood sprayed out.

The two disciples seemed to be evaporated in an instant, with only blood and bones remaining. Even the swords in their hands, the storage devices on their bodies, and so on were crushed into powder in an instant.

“What’s going on?”

The elder narrowed his eyes in shock.

The other disciples, as well as the eight middle-aged men in imperial robes, were also stunned.

“What happened?”

“Retreat! There is a great killing intent field in the sand...” the elder shouted in horror. He concentrated his Magic Eyes and saw through the formation set by Li Mu at a glance. Then, he perceived the fighting intent on the top of the sand dune.

He was terrified by this kind of battle intent and killing intent.

“Do you want to kill me?” At the top of the sand dune, Li Mu stood on the left side of the dead god, turned back and sneered, and said provocatively, “If you are not afraid of death, come after me.”

After that, his figure disappeared behind the sand dune.

“You little arrogant bug, you are not qualified to provoke me.” The elder’s eyes seemed piercingly cold, and he had placed Li Mu on his kill list.

“Elder Sun, what should we do?” a disciple asked.

They also understood what was going on. This sand dune was fraught with danger.

“Hmph, how dare you stop me with such a small trick?” The elder used his Magic Eyes to check this area. After a while, he said, “Come with me.” He also compelled his cultivation to choose the weak spots in the field and strode forward.

The others followed closely behind.

“Well, after all, they are indigenous people. Li Mu is so stupid that he even wants to stop us with a dead body. Elder Sun is so powerful that he can do whatever he wants...” A disciple laughed and teased.

However, before his voice had died away, a beam of murderous intent flashed.

Instantly, the disciple was killed and dissipated into the air.

“Damn.” The elder’s face changed rapidly and he said, “Retreat, retreat quickly.”

“Puff! Puff! Puff!”

With the battle intent and killing field surging, another three disciples were killed and dispersed.

The others struggled to get out of the formation in shock.

“This is just a warning. Go back to outer space, otherwise, this will be your tomb.” Li Mu’s voice came from far behind the sand dune, full of provocation.

The elder looked totally pale.

He was too careless.

In the field of killing intent, Li Mu hid something to lead him to make a false judgment. Since he took the wrong step, he immediately fell into the trap and lost four elite disciples.
