Chapter 1667: The Plan Is Complete (IV)

A red moon overshadowed Orchid Forest major world; the Orchid Forest master summoned his dao universe in response. It arrived with a rumble and a violent shake. All of Orchid Forest shook!

Mountains toppled and the earth split apart!

Li Hao’s eyes widened; so the Orchid Forest master really had dared make a move! To be honest, this exceeded his expectations. He knew that the Orchid Forest master wasn’t exactly on the side of good and was actually hotly ambitious instead, so it would be quite normal for him to abstain from taking any action now.

But that he had... meant that something was off with this guy!

Li Hao’s dao ripples shifted and a large book of dao appeared in the distance. It carried the weight of a myriad worlds within its pages. A cat hovered between the world, accompanied by Supreme Zhang’s chuckles.

“Nether Moon, Cold River, and Skywave, this seat will distract the two pieces of Red Moon trash,” the supreme said merrily. “You are free to outright attack Red Moon major world. When the world breaks apart and New Martial kills them, we will keep your contribution in mind!

“New Martial clearly delineates between its feuds and gratitude. We had only sought to seize the Red Moon main world before, but today, we might be able to kill its world master! The heavens smile upon us!”

“Meow... time to eat fish!” echoed the Ash Emperor’s voice. An illusory river of dao wound through the void and a world exploded within Number Two’s body. The strength of a world manifested!

New Martial was here!

Whether it was the Red Moon master, Griefstricken, the Orchid Forest master, or the three masters of the world in the distance, all jerked to a halt.

New Martial!

They... really were out there!

The Sword Sovereign was overjoyed and turned back to leer at the Red Moon master. “Kill him!”

His sword intent rose as Li Hao furiously reversed time, there was no effort to spare for anything else. Void was equally berserk as he swiftly formed a small flower, just like when they’d killed Clarity.

Although all three of them knew that this New Martial was fake, it was even more out of the question for the trio to flee now! Li Changsheng wouldn’t be the New Martial Sword Sovereign if he ran!

A longsword appeared in the Sword Sovereign’s hand with sword intent layered over it. It was only for an instant, but there was one blow, two blows, three blows, and four!

Li Hao was bringing forth everything he had to offer. The three had improved from their previous attempt. The four blows overlaid resulted in an incredible surge of sword intent.

“Today, the Eternal Swordsman reaches above to strike down an eighth rank! The chaos celebrates me!” laughed the Sword Sovereign.

An unparalleled blow that reached to the heavens raced for the Red Moon master!

The sword intent was so harrowing that even Griefstricken cowered. Meanwhile, the Red Moon master’s face slackened after he forced back the Orchid Forest master with one punch. This was very bad!

New Martial

was

here! Damn it!

I was betting that they weren’t nearby...

Once they tied him down here and the three masters of their worlds really attacked his home world, he would be in grave danger! He ripped open the void without further word, revealing the Red Moon dao universe.

“Griefstricken!” he grunted.

The man started and immediately understood, throwing himself into the dao universe. His liege had taken advantage of the temporary lull before anyone truly attacked in earnest. He’d forced open the dao universe, shaking the great dao in response!

Griefstricken was forcefully sent back!

Ripples undulated over Red Moon major world in the distance before Griefstricken appeared in the sky.

“All exalted emperors are to gather! We are under attack!” he roared.

Large sums of frightened, panicked exalted emperors streamed to various gathering spots. It was over! New Martial had come!

The Red Moon master glowered at what remained in front of him. With Griefstricken back on the home world, the three masters of the worlds wouldn’t dare force an offensive. He just needed to handle this group of people, but that was also a thorny proposition!

The Orchid Forest master was a seventh rank and the Sword Sovereign was also bringing forth the strength of a seventh rank. There was the Ash Emperor to consider, as well as its ability to borrow from the Human King. The Sun God was currently nowhere to be seen and Supreme Zhang’s strength was unknown...

Maybe... I should retreat and defend my world!

But he was loath to leave like this!

Red Moon was the aggressor and had finally encountered the New Martial that he’d been searching for all this time. Wouldn’t he be a joke if he still voluntarily withdrew?

He should test New Martial’s strength, if nothing else!

Peak battle condition!

Bam!

Sword intent clashed with a red moon. The sword intent dissipated and the red moon trembled. Even though the Sword Sovereign was powerful beyond belief when wielding a blow layered four times, he still could not stand against an eighth rank.

Behind them, the Orchid Forest master wasn’t certain of how truthful this exchange’s outcome was. But he couldn’t stop to think of that much!

He needed to make his move!

Boom!

Orchid Forest’s great dao flared—a myriad of phenomena!

At the same time, the other three major worlds didn’t immediately choose to attack Red Moon or rush to Orchid Forest to help Red Moon... but to move away with their worlds!

Perhaps it was time to flee!

If they helped Red Moon, New Martial might kill them if it was victorious. If they didn’t, were they supposed to actually attack the Red Moon main world?

They had those thoughts moments ago, but with Griefstricken’s return and leading the defense with dozens of exalted emperors, that invasion had abruptly become very hard. They really had been so inclined moments before.

“Do you think an eighth rank is so easy to kill?!” growled the Red Moon master. Red Moon power materialized and suppressed the world, turning the chaos red!

Immense power swept in all directions!

Boom!

A massive explosion rang out as powerful dao strength fractured the trio’s bodies. The three flew out at the same time, smashing through the void so hard that they shattered the chaos.

They ran madly in New Martial’s direction!

The Red Moon master didn’t chase after them. He needed to suppress the Orchid Forest master first so he would have his full strength to deploy when New Martial reached them in a bit! It was rather to his liking that the three were running from battle.

He erupted in full fury, bringing the red moon down!

Boom!

The Orchid Forest master’s great dao wavered; the man himself was also shocked. Eighth rank was so strong!

No wonder eighth ranks were the real tyrants of the chaos. He was in his territory and on his world, but he was losing to a moon that encapsulated his opponent’s strength!

The Orchid Forest master spat out a mouthful of black blood and his body began to crumble. He cast a sidelong glance at Li Hao. If New Martial could make its way over, it might truly have a chance to take down the Red Moon master!

But... he saw something else instead. The furiously fleeing Li Hao and his companions seemed to sense something. The young man waved his hand, as if indicating...

good bye!

The Orchid Forest master’s heart quailed! He understood!

Fuck me! I... thought too much!

His face twitched as he watched the trio reconvene with New Martial. The Red Moon master was still keeping up an offensive. As his expression shifted, he howled, “I surrender!”

“......” The Red Moon master blinked. His opponent had been so berserk that he’d thought Orchid Forest had reached an accord with New Martial and Light. Their plan was aimed at Red Moon and sought Red Moon’s destruction!

But... what was this now?

He was willing to surrender?

“I am willing to surrender to Red Moon!” shouted the Orchid Forest master. “I simply refused to be invaded, but New Martial is the archenemy of Orchid Forest! We will not collude with New Martial! If the Red Moon master does not believe us, then Orchid Forest is willing to be absorbed into New Martial!

“Please kill the New Martial powerhouses and their Human King to avenge our dao master!”

Absorb Orchid Forest!

The exalted emperors running away with their major worlds paused.

You were... so frenetic just now that we thought you were allies with New Martial, that you guys might be ending Red Moon today. What do you mean by this?

Have you suddenly turned traitor and are going to kill New Martial heavyweights now?

𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

As strong as the Red Moon master was, even he was started by the development.

To be honest, he didn’t believe the Orchid Forest’s abrupt surrender after he went on the offensive. But now... he was offering up his world... that greatly increased the level of credibility!

The Orchid Forest master suddenly summoned his dao universe and ripped an opening into it.

“Please refine Orchid Forest as quickly as possible, Red Moon master!” he growled. “Please kill the New Martial Human King and avenge Orchid Forest!”

“......” He was even offering up his dao universe! A seventh rank master of the world was displaying the source of his power. This surrender was total and complete!

The Red Moon master had never fathomed this might happen; this opportunity was all too rare! Particularly when New Martial hovered threateningly.

“Master of Orchid Forest, becoming part of Red Moon is the most correct decision you can make.” The Red Moon master’s face immediately returned to calm. “Red Moon will not mistreat anyone from Orchid Forest!”

He immediately accepted what was offered. What, was he supposed to turn away a delicious morsel fed to him?

The Red Moon master manifested his dao universe and sent a dao star into the Orchid Forest dao universe. Time was of the essence here, he needed to assimilate this seventh rank dao universe as quickly as possible!

Even he thought that everything was proceeding too smoothly. The heavens were on his side!

I thought that the Orchid Forest master would be happy the Human King killed the Orchid Forest dao master, but... it turns out he holds a grudge instead!

He actually decided to give everything up at this moment and become part of Red Moon instead! The heavens favor me! Even the chaos does not want New Martial to succeed!

The Red Moon master grinned widely!
