Chapter 1371: One Popping Up (III)

Li Hao wasn’t in the mood to chitchat with the Red Moon exalted emperor any longer. Violent ripples were traveling through the mental world as stars began trembling. Dao meridians also shook in his body, ready to be assimilated!

A star gradually floated out of his body and transformed into an enormous dragon.

The dragon coiled in the air! It darted into the mental world through the center of Li Hao’s forehead.

......

Within the seven main cities.

Some saw the disturbance, but didn’t understand what they were seeing. Only those in the know, such as Lin Hongyu, grew nervous.

......

Within the mental sea.

The giant dragon soared through the sea as it burrowed in, raising enormous waves and currents. The world tossed and turned!

180 stars vibrated madly—the dragon also seemed to be searching for a suitable star. It suddenly locked onto one and shot at it. The dragon entered the star and a loud explosion erupted!

It felt like the world was breaking apart as the mental sea sloshed to and fro. Endless mental strength, blood qi, power of the new dao, and force from auras churned in massive knots!

The combination of immaterial and corporeal was causing an unheralded disturbance!

The entire world seemed to be shaking, and this was just the first star! Not to mention, Li Hao’s corporeal and immaterial dao were not in the real dao universe. It was easy enough to imagine how terrifying it would be if he was attempting this in the dao universe.

The dao of the world seemed to undergo some changes, as was Silver Moon world affected.

To create another world within an existing world... that was Li Hao’s choice. But in doing so, that inflicted a certain degree of threat on the world.

Boom!

Countless thunderbolts gathered in the air. Heavenly will seemed to be roiling in the distance.

......

Activity stirred in all directions.

Within the immaterial dao universe.

The universe shook; Li Daoheng’s voice rang in the void with confusion and anger. “Who’s disturbing the dao universe?!”

Two figures immediately appeared.

Zheng Yu looked around, seeing that something was happening to the dao universe. While the disturbance wasn’t great, why would anything happen in the dao universe if nothing out of the ordinary was taking place? He frowned and didn’t make a sound.

The Red Moon exalted emperor replica was likewise quiet as he mused to himself.

......

The corporeal dao universe.

A man floated out of the undulating river and looked into the distance. A star appeared, but didn’t seem overly concerned since the disturbance wasn’t great. It came into sight for only a split second before disappearing.

......

Great Li.

A frowning Celestial Pole looked at the horizon and cursed to himself. What was the brat up to now?

He turned his gaze to the Great Li king nearby; the king was waving his fists around, as if preparing for something.

“Bei Wu, what are you doing?” he had to ask.

“Cultivating!” the king answered without looking in the god’s direction.

Bullshit! Is punching randomly supposed to be cultivating?

“You met Li Hao before this. Did he say how he’ll be taking care of those guys?”

“He says he’ll handle the situation as it arises!”

No shit!

Celestial Pole gave up trying to get any information out of the king. He simply looked in Silver City’s direction with skepticism. What was the kerfuffle? Could the brat not be quiet for a few days?

Kicking up a fuss again and again, can I get some peace and quiet around here?

......

A star and a massive dragon became one. The disturbance was immense! Li Hao hadn’t expected it either. It was just the integration of one dao star, but it’d given rise to such an enormous chain reaction. The key was... where did this thunder and lightning come from?

Heavy clouds blotted out the sky; Li Hao was highly perplexed by the gigantic thunderbolts.

What? What have I done?

This thunder and lightning is either from the heavenly will or the great dao.

...the heavenly will dares provoke me? Now?

Or the dao tribulation leaked to the outside world? Does even the great dao want to kill me?

How strange!

Or is this thunder tribulation from an unknown source?

Li Hao looked at the sky with countless questions in his mind. He frowned slightly, not having anticipated that there would be such a reaction to his actions.

In the distance, Zhang An murmured, “The tribulation of an exalted emperor?”

Why did this phenomena resemble that? That shouldn’t be the case! Setting aside whether or not the exalted emperor tribulation existed within Silver Moon, even if it did, it wouldn’t fall to Li Hao to experience it.

Granted, the thunderbolts didn’t seem that strong. At least, not on par with those resulting from an exalted emperor’s ascension. That would draw infinite thunderbolts in a split second, with any one of them being able to obliterate an Empyrean King.

But this... only seemed to be the beginning!

What was Li Hao doing?

Zhang An realized that he couldn’t read the young man either.

Thunderbolts gathered, but did not descend. The thunderclouds lingered, imposing an atmosphere of alarm and worry.

Li Hao ignored what was happening in the world and began combining his next dao meridian. Another massive dragon flew out and darted into his mind, searching for the next star to integrate with.

More thunderbolts gathered as this ensued. They were not from the heavenly will.

......

At the same time, inside the seal.

The Red Moon exalted emperor’s expression shifted slightly. Something seemed to be piercing through the resplendent door of starlight. Bolts of lightning intermixed with chaos surged in from outside!

The exalted emperor’s jaw dropped and he shot straight upward without a second thought!

Is the Star Gate open? Can I break through the seal, leave through the gate, recover some. strength, then return and break through the seal from the other side?

He’d just rushed upward when

kaboom!

Thunderbolts exploded over his head. The seal shook beneath him and the Star Gate shimmered with starry illumination, obstructing him. It even burst forth with domineering thunder and lightning of destruction!

BOOM!

The exalted emperor was flayed by the retaliation. “Why??” he snarled.

Why could energy enter and he not leave?? Why?!

And why had this energy, this thunder and lightning, darted into Silver Moon world from the outside? Who was the cause of this?

The tribulation of an exalted emperor?

How was that possible??

Whether it was Zheng Yu or Li Daoheng, neither of the two were exalted emperors. As for Li Hao... he’d just seen for himself that the young man was just fifth level Fused Dao. He was far from breaking through!

The exalted emperor could only watch as the strength seeped through the seal, descending below as if entering an uninhabited land.

“Li Hao...” murmured the shaken exalted emperor. What had Li Hao done to cause thunder and lightning from the outside world to force its way in? Was it here to kill the young man?

𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Thunder tribulations existed in the chaos! Of that, he was aware.

While he’d never seen one with his own eyes, he’d heard of legends that premier existences could attract thunder tribulations from the chaos.

He didn’t quite know the exact reason why because he’d never touched upon that level of existence. Perhaps comprehending dao would result in resonance from the chaos. Or perhaps the tribulation appeared when a deed that went so far beyond the pale that the chaos couldn’t tolerate it.

Perhaps there was another reason still...

What could Li Hao do in Silver Moon? This was an isolated minor world.

The tribulation was very small at the moment. The Red Moon exalted emperor took stock of it, registering that the thunder and lightning that’d surged in was very weak. Whatever filtered through the seal would kill a Saint at most, and that was overestimating it.

“How strange!”

However, the thunderbolts began growing in concentration, continuously seeping through and increasing in strength.

......

Down below, Li Hao continuously combined dao stars.

One, two, three...

His presence grew stronger, but also more miscellaneous.

The thunderclouds overhead also grew bigger. The young man summoned the imitation of the Mirror of Wind and Cloud, activating the sky canopies with a thought.

“Citizens of the Hao Cosmos Continent, there is no need to be nervous! The dao universe failed to descend upon us last time, so this time, I’m attempting to have the dao universe devour the continent.

“Since it cannot come to us, then we will go to it! Once the world is swallowed, everyone will be able to comprehend dao at a close distance...”

The people had been quite confused at the expansion of the thundercloud and shaking of the world. They guessed that Li Hao was up to something again, but relaxed when they heard his words.

I see! Since it won’t come here, we’ll go to it! So the dao universe is swallowing the continent? Can that be done?

Who knows!

The dao universe spontaneously split open, displaying a long river threading through it with waves rearing over its surface.

“There is no need to pay attention to that!” Li Hao’s voice rang out again. “The river is becoming part of the world as I wish for all Silver Moon denizens to become citizens and people of the great dao! That will ensure that things like the heavenly will, half step emperor, and exalted emperor will no longer disturb Silver Moon citizens!”

Thunder and lightning intensified in the void.
