Chapter 513: Unknown Bird

Mount Hua, today's was clear weather.

"King Of Medicine" Sun Yingmeng was currently inspecting Yang Su's injuries. Xiao Mohe, Li Milu, and the others were sparring in the courtyard, adjusting their conditions.

"Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows" Fu Jian ascended the southern peak. It was so close to heaven she could pluck the stars. She looked around, but all she saw were undulating mountains, boundless rivers near and far appearing like fine lines of silk, open plains like pure sheets. They honestly made one taste the enormous grandeur of Mount Hua's high majesty, to enjoy the magical delights of seemingly looking over the world and treading upon clouds.

"Only Heaven is above, no mountain comes close. And the sun is near, see white clouds below!"

"The head of the Five Moons is fully deserving of its reputation. No wonder Dongzi is so adamant about destroying it." Fu Jian apathetically looked over all of Mount Hua. Not long ago, she already received Dongzi's orders to join with Li Shimin and eradicate Mount Hua while Su Mian was occupied.

"I never imagined Mount Hua's forces to be so great. Heaven Devouring Demon King Xiao Mohe, Demon Faced Military Commander Yu Juluo, Flying Phoenix General Li Guang, White Horse Silver Spear Gao Siji…" Fu Jian looked at them. These Star Names all possessed formidable strength. Even her Amrita Seven Grands would hardly be a match.

"There is also that ‘Eternally Loyal General' Yue Fei. Fortunately, Ancestor Chen Tuan is injured, otherwise, This Palace honestly would not be able to face them."

"Kingdom Destroyer Great General" Wang Meng was beside her, staring at the activity on the field. Her eyes were like a feral beast's, filled with viciousness. "Apparently a Great Senior Sister Hupo resides in Mount Hua's Divine Nun Forest. They say her background is very mysterious, and even Her Majesty has ordered to not allow her to leave the forest so easily."

"Perhaps Su Mian is bluffing." Fu Jian considered. No exceptional Star Name had appeared at Mount Hua in centuries. Su Mian had specifically ordered this perhaps to deliberately intimidate other people. But now, the arrow was nocked. They had no choice but to shoot.

That the Central Star Field would split apart was a foregone conclusion. Each of the great Star Marquis only thought was to seize like feral beasts the greatest benefit from this division.

The Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows had no need of Zhu Yuanzhang's seal, but the feat of destroying Mount Hua, as well as the Purple Cypress Divine Fruit from one of Mount Hua's Three Divine Trees, were absolute necessities for her.

"Imperial Empress." A skinny woman delicately walked before Fu Jian. The physiques of Star World's Star Generals were mostly slender, graceful, and absolutely beautiful. Rarely were they as emaciated as her, dressed in ragged clothing, or slovenly in appearance; she appeared too weak to stand up to the wind.

But even Wang Meng did not dare underestimate her. Among the Amrita Seven Grands, her Realm did not fall short of the Kingdom Destroyer Great General. If her skinny body entered combat conditions, she was able to unleash unbelievable destructive power.

In Star World, she had a nickname, "Match For Ten Thousand." The ten thousand did not refer to cultivators, or experts, or Star Soldiers, but Star Generals!

In truth, she was a True Phoenix Realm Star Name.

"Minister Deng Qiang, how is it?"

"Li Siye has already led a million Black Armor Soldiers to ambush positions around Mount Hua." Deng Qiang said.

"Has Yang Guang's army not arrived yet?"

"She should still need half a day."

"Hm, order them to make ready. Once it is midnight, that should be about time." Fu Jian nodded.

"As you command."

Just at this moment, a ray of purple qi suddenly shot from Mount Hua's main summit into the clouds. That purple qi was like a beam of light forming the amazing sight of a blossom after it reached the Nine Firmaments. All of a sudden, Mount Hua was cloaked in purple light.

Everyone who saw this sight was dumbstruck.

"How has the Purple Cypress Divine Fruit ripened at this time?" Fu Jian was shocked.

"Imperial Empress!!" Wang Meng and Deng Qiang had grave expressions.

Fu Jian tightly creased her brow. "Go see what is happening immediately."

"As you command."

There was no choice but to shoot.

…

Mount Hua, main hall.

Chen Tuan was currently in quiet recovery.

"Ancestor!!" Tan Daoling ran in, panicked.

"Ling'er, what is the matter? Has Fu Jian finally lost patience?" Gao Shanxue asked.

"I feel that is more or less tha case." Tan Daoling said: "The Purple Cypress Divine Fruit has ripened!"

"Impossible, the Purple Cypress Dvine Fruit should need a few more years." Gao Shanxue was taken aback, for she was very aware of the time it took to mature.

"Seems someone has induced its ripening."

Chen Tuan opened her eyes. The girl sat quietly, her tone as calm as water.

"Ancestor!"

"Who could have such formidable power as to be capable of inducing the Purple Cypress Divine Fruit's ripening?" Gao Shanxue was in disbelief. The fruit was nourished with the quintessence of the sun, moon, and stars, and from absorbing the earthly qi of Mount Hua's Star Leyline. Even a Star Name like Li Shizhen could not possibly accelerate its growth.

"Shanxue, Daoling, go immediately and protect the Divine Fruit. Fu Jian has eyed it for a century, do not allow her to obtain it." Chen Tuan ordered.

"But Ancestor, what about you." Gao Shanxue was a bit worried. Chen Tuan was currently injured and quite heavily. Furthermore, the Zhao Kuangyin Zhao Luotong beside her was also very weak and required her protection.

"We will protect the Ancestor." A voice came from beyond the door. Turning her head back, Gao Shanxue saw Yu Juluo, Xiao Mohe and the others.

"It is said that washing one's eyes using the Purple Cypress Divine Fruit allows one to clearly see the leylines of Heaven and Earth, the mystery of the sun, moon, and stars. This Divine Fruit is extremely extraordinary even for a Purple Rose Star Name. We cannot let Fu Jian obtain it." Yang Su also appeared. "Let us protect the Ancestor. Law Protector Gao, you may rest easy."

"Go." Chen Tuan nodded.

Gao Shanxue did not hesitate any longer, and she dashed towards the main peak's Divine Tree alongside Tan Daoling.

…

The Sui Ye Star Kingdom's boat had just breached the void sea of stars on the way to Mount Hua's Western Lin Star Field. The seas of stars outside the Star Field Barrier was a quiet blackness. It was said that the sea was actually an ancient, primeval chaos-like void and that Star Field after Star Field were like enormous vortexes blanketing this void. These vortexes could disintegrate Star Names. Only Heavenly Stars could pass through, however, even a powerful Heavenly Star was unable to remain in the void sea of stars for a prolonged period of time.

This unknown primeval chaos was sufficient to smash their entire destiny.

However, the void sea of stars was not something every Star Name feared. Rumor had it that Son Of Heaven Liu Xiu's Twenty-eight Star Mansions received the blessing of the Xuannü of the Nine Heavens, and they could be like fishes back in water even in the void star river.

Yang Guang sat quietly in her dragon carriage. Her fingers drummed along her throne while her expressions was solemn.

"How much longer until Mount Hua?" Yang Guang was already a bit impatient.

"Almost there."

"En. Make ready. I absolutely will not let Mount Hua go this time." Yang Guang coldly said.

"Monarch, please rest easy. We will join hands with Fu Jian, and with Li Siye, Mount Hua is dead for certain." Shi Wansui said.

Their ship pierced through the sea of stars. All of a sudden, a warship appeared at the border of the Western Lin Star Field. This vessel was enormous, like a gigantic star. The Sui Ye Star Kingdom's boat stopped.

The Elders Of Sui filed onto the deck and wrinkled their brows.

"Hm?" Yang Guang's fingers stopped their drumming when she saw this boat.

"This is the Yuan Wu Star Kingdom's ‘Star Mansion Battleship?'" Shi Wansui absentmindedly brought out the God-devouring Halberd.

Several dozen young ladies appeared from the Star Mansion Battleship. These women emitted starlight, appeared like gleaming stars in the void sea of stars, very beautiful.

"Deng Yu, why do you obstruct my Monarch's path forward?" Shi Wansui coldly inquired.

"Hornwood Dragon" Deng Yu, head of the Twenty-eight Star Generals of the Cloud Terrace, had an expression like ice, "Your Servant is following Her Majesty Su Mian's command to defend Mount Hua's Star Field. We are not to allow anyone to approach. Please return, Monarch."

Shi Wansui, Heruo Bi and the rest all glanced at each other. Evidently, they did not anticipate that Su Mian would surprisingly have defensive measures already in place. She unexpectedly dispatched Liu Xiu's Twenty-eight Generals to obstruct their path.

Yang Guang sneered: "In consideration of the Son Of Heaven's face, I will not pursue your offense of obstructing Me. Hurry and move aside, otherwise, do not blame Me for showing no mercy." A vast divine might spilled forth.

Even the void sea of stars seemed to freeze under this might.

"Elder Sister, no need to waste your breath on them. The princess stands on Mount Hua's side. No matter who they are, anyone who joins Mount Hua must die." Heavenly Bat General "Lady Bat" Jing Dan Jing Nanxiu snorted.

"We already have our orders. Unless Her Majesty commands it, we kill first, ask questions later!"

The expressions on Yang Guang's side were extremely gloomy.

Deng Yu, the strongest of the Cloud Terrace's Twenty-eight Generals, was only Divine Phoenix Realm, but the Star Generals were all Single Character Heavenly Stars, a rare sight among the Sixteen Star Kingdoms. The others' Realms were not considered particularly outstanding, but combined with their Twenty-eight Mansions Formation, they could pose enormous trouble. Thus, thought the Star Generals of Liu Xiu's Star Kingdom were not super first-rate, they nevertheless could rank third across all of Star World, falling behind only Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Where is your princess? She ought to be still occupied by the Godslayer." Yang Guang looked around and noticed Liu Xiu's figure was nowhere to be found among the Twenty-eight Generals. This greatly relieved the Golden Age Tyrant. Without a Purple Rose Star Name, even the Twenty-eight Star Mansions were not too exceptional, no matter how powerful they were.

"The princess need not show herself yet." Ma Yuan also appeared.

"Since you obstruct My way, then do not blame Me for being ruthless." Yang Guang gave a signal.

Zhang Xutuo, Heruo Bi, Shi Wansui, Han Qinhu, and the other great generals each brought out their Star Weapons. The million Star Soldiers aboard their battleship also stirred.

"Does the Monarch wish to be stubborn?" Ma Yuan pursed her lips.

Simultaneously, Deng Yu took out her Mother And Child Dragon And Phoenix sabers, Jia Fu her Heaven Painting Halberd, and all of the Twenty-eight Generals of the Cloud Terrace grouped into Void, Black Turtle, White Tiger, Azure Dragon, and Vermilion Bird formations.

"You Star Generals dare to behave so impudently before Me on this basis?" Yang Guang sneered. Purple Rose Qi fired.

Shi Wansui launched an assault with her divine halberd. "Self-proclaimed Great General" Heruo Bi Heruo Zhilan brandished her greatsword with Great Thousand Heavenly Dragon Sword. Han Qinhu, Zhang Xutuo, and the rest also used their powerful Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow Ranks.

They charged towards the Twenty-eight Star Mansions formation.

"The Black Turtle droops its head."

"The Vermilion Bird soars in dance."

"The Azure Dragon slithers along."

"The White Tiger stoops down."

Deng Yu and the others acted in concert with one mind. Twenty-eight Star Crests shimmered and became the spirits of the Four Symbols. Even without using their own Heaven, Earth, Dark and Yellow Ranks, they stopped the incoming attacks. The Four Symbols Star Array glowed with four rays of light. Several Star Battleships were immediately sunk, their Star Soldiers destroyed.

Yang Guang sneered, "You have brought about your own doom. I shall take you first as ritual sacrifice!" The Golden Age Tyrant stood. Her figure vanished and appeared in the middle of the Star Mansion Formation. The girl waved her hand, and the Buddhist Stupa Under Heaven appeared. Buddhist-light shone in all directions and covered the Four Symbols.

The Black Turtle hid its head, the Azure Dragon writhed, the White Tiger fell over, and the Vermilion Bird cried.

The Four Symbols immediately became ill omens.

Ma Yuan, Deng Yu, and the others' expressions did not change, nor did they fall into panic.

Yang Guang had Xuannü Realm power. Without a similarly ranked Star Marquis on their side, she completely did not need to fear them. She needed only to use Buddhist Stupa Under Heaven to break their star mansions. Just at this moment, a light flew out from the Star Mansion Battleship. It sped along like a flying immortal from beyond Heaven. Even Yang GUang was caught offguard. Buddhist Stupa Under Heaven released a golden light, but it was unable to stop this flying immortal from beyond Heaven.

The clang of a weapon.

Buddhist Stupa Under Heaven was surprisingly suppressed. Yang Guang withdrew, her gaze shifting.

"Your Distinguished Self Yang Guang, please, return. If you do not wish to die here, that is."

The light subsided, and a woman's figure was revealed. She was like the Xuannü of the Nine Heavens, free and unfettered. The void sea of stars was unable to confine her, and even Yang Guang felt enormous pressure.

"You…" Yang Guang grit her teeth.

The woman faintly smiled.
