Chapter 1447: The Tribulation Disperses (III)

An immense suction force pulled on even the chaos tribulation. It brought everyone and everything into a massive mouth!

The Red Moon exalted emperor was still completely without fear!

Li Hao whirled around and shot for Silver Moon. He simply yelled in the direction of the world, summoning massive strength over the world barrier. It enabled him to yank a doorframe out of the void!

The Star Gate!

Li Hao howled, plucking the Star Gate up from where it stood!

Star Gate in hand, the young man flew toward the Panther’s massive mouth. As the Red Moon exalted emperor watched with skepticism, Li Hao shoved the enormous door at the mouth, fixing it into place.

Boom!

Panther was the heavenly will; Silver Moon was suddenly one with the beast. The only opening was through its mouth, which was now plugged by the Star Gate.

The Star Gate had been forged by premier Silver Moon heavyweights and possessed the additional quality of isolating dao universes. That was the attribute that Li Hao wished to make use of—he was going to cut off access to the Red Moon dao universe!

The Red Moon exalted emperor understood what was taking place the moment the Star Gate settled with a thud!

No! I can’t sense the Red Moon dao anymore!

Bam!

The Star Gate slammed shut, much like the day when Bone Eclipse entered Silver Moon. All energy emanating from the Red Moon dao universe was halted outside the door.

The exalted emperor’s jaw dropped with dismay and he threw himself at Li Hao. He had to get out! This door could fully block the emanations of a dao universe! If Li Hao and his people drew from the core origin universe, then all of them would be weakened together.

But those of Silver Moon did not utilize core origin dao.

“This is so much more troublesome than I anticipated,” Li Hao exhaled heavily with a smile. “I’d wanted to kill a peak exalted emperor with it... Forget it, I’ll use all the advantages I have since I’m so weak!”

He swung his sword again!

Silver Moon and the chaos beast’s body was one. The heavenly will exercised control over space. There was suddenly a vacuum of energy around the exalted emperor. Thunder and lightning of the great dao manifested when the two dao universes came together as one!

Attacks from three fronts arrived at the same time!

Boom!

Thunder and lightning exploded, the longsword descended, and heavenly will suppressed its target. The exalted emperor’s presence dropped rapidly as he was cut off from the Red Moon dao. His eyes widened with panic.

This was his oversight; he didn’t know enough about the functions of a Star Gate. Who knew that it would cut off one’s connection to the dao universe when it was closed??

His strength had already suffered from the earlier battle, now it was further weakened. The Red Moon exalted emperor roared from the swing of the sword, but there was nothing much he could do. The sword sliced right through him and cut him into half.

But he was still alive!

“This place is still within Red Moon territory...” He swiftly began to come back together.

“New Martial is a much bigger threat than me!” Li Hao laughed in return.

I know that we’re still within range of Red Moon, but New Martial is also nearby. Although it looks pretty far away, do you think Red Moon has the time and effort to spare for you right now?

He struck again with the combined force of a myriad daos!

The body that’d just come back together once more shattered. The exalted emperor gathered it again, but was scattered once more...

Endless Red Moon power furiously dissipated in all directions, wanting to flee. However, the heavenly will kept it tightly compressed. Li Hao hacked into it stroke by stroke. The long river circling the vicinity began to tighten!

Finally, a scarlet shadow was visible over the river. The exalted emperor brooded ominously.

“The great dao will shake if you kill me. Red Moon will know that I have fallen. You can imprison me or seal me away instead. Red Moon will only think that I am yet to return, so long as you spare me...”

The exalted emperor knew that he was in enormous trouble now. Therefore, preserving his life was top priority.

His words weren’t without reason. Killing an exalted emperor could be sensed through the Star Gate. Similar to what had happened with Bone Eclipse, the Red Moon master was sure to detect it even if others didn’t. They were within Red Moon territory, after all.

The exalted emperor stood a chance to turn the tables so long as he remained alive.

Red Moon was certainly aware that he was in trouble. As much of a commotion as New Martial had stirred up, Red Moon was not a weak world. It could easily redeploy a powerhouse to save him.

A third rank exalted emperor was not casually discarded, unlike an exalted emperor like Bone Eclipse.

“So what if Red Moon knows that you died?” Li Hao laughed. Wasn’t Red Moon aware of the enormous disturbance that New Martial had caused? And what could they do about it?

Not killing you would be the biggest trouble of all. Is it that easy to trap an exalted emperor?

The Exalted Blood Emperor’s Eight Trigrams Suppression Formation was broken. It would take at least a dao universe to seal away an exalted emperor now!

The chaos tribulation had not dissipated either. All of the thunder and lightning may be in Panther’s stomach, but Number Two was still putting up a valiant defense against it.

Li Hao faced so many troubles, he didn’t have time to leisurely suppress an exalted emperor! It was better to kill the man before the ripples of New Martial’s efforts faded away.

The river transformed into a myriad of swords, running through the exalted emperor’s heart!

Bam!

Another explosion sounded as endless Red Moon power drifted through the river. It even affected Li Hao for a split second!

The Red Moon exalted emperor was still struggling even now. With his body blown to pieces, he summarily sent his strength through the river to try and fight for its control.

Li Hao had to admit that this guy was so much stronger than Bone Eclipse. He was trying to stage a comeback even now!

𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Boom!

The river shook and the star of time rolled in the waters. A myriad of sword daos erupted once more, obliterating the rays of Red Moon power.

Although all of the scarlet energy was eliminated, Li Hao did not stop. Bone Eclipse’s death had raised a fuss through the Red Moon dao universe and drawn the attention of its heavyweights. The death of an even stronger exalted emperor would not be received quietly. There was certain to be some upheaval from it.

Li Hao soon discovered something and lashed at the end of the river with his sword! That section was connected to the immaterial dao universe.

Within the dao universe, Gan Wuliang’s eyes narrowed when he realized something. He snarled, red light manifesting in his eyes. He thrust the red light out of his body!

Gan Wuliang’s presence immediately declined by a significant amount. He looked at the red light with fear. He’d been too self assured and thought that Red Moon power was unable to contaminate him!

It was only now that he realized he’d been invaded unknowingly!

The red light took human form—it was the Red Moon exalted emperor!

“How did you discover me...” Despair finally brewed in the man. He’d kept himself well hidden!

“The Red Moon dao universe shook when Bone Eclipse died...”

“Damn it!” raged the exalted emperor. Damn it all to hell!

That piece of trash Bone Eclipse dragged others down in his own demise! If it wasn’t for that prior experience, Li Hao would have no idea that killing a Red Moon exalted emperor would lead to that phenomenon!

The death of a chaos beast didn’t cause that reaction!

Kaboom!

Sword light churned toward the scarlet energy, thoroughly detonating the shadow. There was no corresponding surge of anger or resentment, just helplessness. “That little bastard... Bone Eclipse!’

He’d died to his own kind. Otherwise, the Silver Moon master might not have realized anything. He would’ve been able to fully conceal himself and seize the immaterial dao universe. He would then be able to attack Silver Moon from inside. The exalted emperor stood a great chance of turning the tables then!

What a pity that he would no longer have the chance to do so.

As the shadow collapsed, a voice traveled out of a corner of the universe. “Hmm?” The Red Moon master had discovered something—the death of an exalted emperor!

The exalted emperor sent to search for Silver Moon had also died! Unbelievable!

The insignificant Silver Moon should not possess that level of strength, even though it’d reappeared after a long seclusion. It could not slay a third rank exalted emperor! That level of being was much stronger than a regular master of a minor world.

Although it might be a mid world now, a newly ascended master of a mid world was just a third rank exalted emperor. He’d sent a third rank exalted emperor to Silver Moon, fully confident that the exalted emperor would be able to hold its own.

That area was also within Red Moon territory and the Red Moon master knew for a fact that there were no mid worlds there.

......

The grand palace on Red Moon major world.

An unfathomably overwhelming existence tilted his head in a certain direction. That locale was still within Red Moon territory, on its fringes. It was very far away, but it wouldn’t take too long to rush to.

And yet, the domineering existence chose not to take action after pondering in silence. There was only a small hassle to be found in that direction. The great trouble was New Martial.

If Fang Ping went into hiding after he left... this might be a red herring. These New Martial people seemed brash and impulsive, but they were devious and crafty in reality. If he left and gave Fang Ping an opening to attack Red Moon, possibly even breaching its defenses, then that would be the greatest trouble of all.

It caused too much of an uproar to move a major world. He would also need more time to do so.

The Red Moon master could also sense that Nether Moon major world was furiously sprinting toward him. Its master was an exalted emperor infinitely near seventh rank. That was so much more important than a dead third rank exalted emperor!

“Ying Hun is dead!” an august voice sounded in the hall. If this was in regular times, the sudden death of a third rank exalted emperor was sure to raise tidal waves of shock and surprise.

But today, the reaction was much more muted.

“Ying Hun headed to Silver Moon... Did New Martial send people as well?” someone asked after a long moment of silence.

No one really cared about that exalted emperor dying. They were more worried that New Martial had sent people in response. Silver Moon was very close to Red Moon major world and there were too many things happening today already.
