The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 680 - First Meeting

Chapter 680 First Meeting

Strictly speaking, there were 110 Star Regions.

These 110 Star Regions formed the universe called the Ziwei Star Zone.

10 Heavenly Legends were selected from each of the 110 Star Regions, making a total of 1,110 Heavenly Legends. These Heavenly Legends were screened and ranked depending on their fighting performance, and thereby the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions was produced.

The practitioners included in this list were the best ones that were born with the Qi of heaven and earth. They were absolutely the most influential figures in their respective Star Regions.

But how big was this Star Zone?

How many geniuses were there?

The Heavenly Legends dominating their own Star Regions would shine like stars in the sky after they reached the core area of the Ziwei Star Zone. However, some stars would shine more brightly, while others would be obscured.

The top 100 Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions were the super bright stars that obscured the other 1,000 Heavenly Legends.

Therefore, when Gu Tianyu was stepping onto the Immortal-slaying Platform, all people fixed their eyes on him.

Unlike the other Heavenly Legends who became frightened when they were called, Gu Tianyu looked very calm and even a little indifferent. He did not feel stressed at all in front of Li Mu.

This was the confidence of a super genius practitioner ranking among the top 100 Heavenly Legends.

Perhaps Li Yidao was very powerful and had formidable magic power in the eyes of others, but he was nothing to be afraid of in the eyes of Gu Tianyu.

Gu Tianyu had the power, so he didn’t have to worry about anything.

Moreover, he challenged Li Yidao when Li Yidao was most famous after defeating Chu Jiaoyang, but not at the time when the rumor said that Li Yidao was severely injured, closed the door for secret training, and was unable to accept the challenge.

From the very beginning, he never thought of playing the fame game while Li Yidao was unable to accept the challenge.

He just wanted to step on Li Yidao.

Therefore, Gu Tianyu was very excited about Li Yidao’s dominant performance after he came out of seclusion.

“You are an opponent worthy of being taken seriously. You should be proud for that.” Gu Tianyu looked at Li Mu with a smile on his face.

Unlike the other Heavenly Legends, he had a naturally strong and profound vibe. Standing on the Immortal-slaying Platform, he seemed to be perfectly integrated with heaven and earth.

“Others say that the best way to win a fight with you is not to let you draw your broadsword. Without that strike, your chances of winning will be zero.”

Gu Tianyu said confidently, staring at Li Mu.

“However, I won’t do that. I’ll give you a chance to draw your broadsword. Not only will I defeat you, but I will also destroy the spirit of your invincible one strike and outperform you to set a new record of fighting... Only in this way can I defeat you in a true sense.”

He looked at Li Mu with great confidence.

This was the confidence of a super practitioner ranking among the top 100 Heavenly Legends.

Li Mu frowned, but he didn’t say anything.

His reached out his right hand slowly to grab the handle of the broadsword behind his right shoulder.

The wind blew.

A light of broadsword flashed across.

The light was not dazzling.

For some unknown reason, almost everyone became absent-minded and lost their sight in an instant, as if everything between heaven and earth had lost its color. Their mind went blank, and their vision went black.

It was an act of God.

The flash of light had disappeared, and the broadsword had already returned to the sheath. All the people in the audience were astonished and subconsciously tried to recall what happened just now. They found that they did not remember anything and could not recall anything.

By this time, the result of the fight had been clear.

Gu Tianyu, the super talent who ranked the 95th on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions, had been knocked down from the Immortal-slaying Platform. He was no different from those Heavenly Legends who had fought with Li Yidao, lying unconscious on the ground!

“The next one!”

Li Mu stood on the Immortal-slaying Platform and said as usual.

A dead silence reigned.

Hundreds of thousands of practitioners around No. 21 Immortal-slaying Platform were frozen in place and could not utter a sound, as if someone had cast a freezer spell on them.

Li Yidao’s previous strike made the audience lose their memory, and the practitioners lost their ability to think the moment they saw Gu Tianyu lying unconscious on the ground below the Immortal-slaying Platform.

It was so shocking.

It was so astounding.

It was so incredible.

Gu Tianyu was a real super talent who ranked among the top 100 Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions and was considered one of the practitioners who could definitely reach the top of martial arts pyramid in the Ziwei Star Zone in the future. However, in front of Li Yidao, he was just like those Heavenly Legends ranking below the 500 to 600 places, and he was defeated by Li Yidao with a single strike, lying on the ground in a coma like a dead dog.

“Are you kidding me?”

“Is Li Yidao’s one strike technique really invincible?”

After staying silent for a long time, the people around No. 21 Immortal-slaying Platform burst into an uproar.

Loud noises came from all around.

It was like a volcano that had been dormant for a long time suddenly erupting and exploding after accumulating enough power.

Exclamations, sighs, screams, gasps... All kinds of vulgar and exclamatory words that could vent and express the intense emotions burst out from the mouths of tens of thousands of practitioners at the same time.

The din was like a tsunami. The sounds could not be heard clearly, but they mingled together, generating magical sound waves that could shock people’s ears and minds.

“How could that be possible?”

“Doesn’t that mean... that Li Yidao can be listed in the top 100 Heavenly Legends?”

Seeing what happened, the Saint of Blood Sea and the others were completely dumbfounded.

Li Yidao had the power of a practitioner ranking among the top 100.

Gu Tianyu was already someone beyond their reach. They would establish their reputation if they could withstand one move from Gu Tianyu, let alone defeat him.

However, Gu Tianyu was seriously injured and fell into a coma after Li Yidao hardly made a full move. Could Li Yidao be considered famous now?

He was more than famous.

The Machete Loli and the young swordsman in black opened their mouths wide.

Even if they had not thought so highly of Li Yidao before, they didn’t expect that his broadsword strike would be so powerful that even a super Heavenly Legend ranking among the top 100 couldn’t withstand it and lost the fight so quickly.

In the previous fight between Li Yidao and Chu Jiaoyang, people were able to see Li Yidao’s one-strike move, because he moved his broadsword so slowly that even ordinary people could clearly see his broadsword. Today, the practitioners witnessed the ultimate power of Li Yidao, which was now many times greater than before.

“The next one!”

Li Yidao spoke again, standing on the Immortal-slaying Platform.

The Posthouse Office, Dongfang Piaoliang, who was in a daze, came back to his senses when he heard this voice. He mechanically reached out his hand to the box behind him, took out another letter of challenge, and said loudly, “Yang Cilang, the No. 6 Heavenly Legend from the Gu Lang Star Region, please get ready to fight.”

Yang Cilang’s face instantly darkened, and he almost fell headlong.

His ranked the 316th on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions. He was no match for Chu Jiaoyang, let alone Gu Tianyu. Obviously, he had no chance to win the right with Li Yidao.

He sent a letter of challenge just to follow the general trend.

If time could run backward and he could go back to the past, he would never send this letter of challenge even if he had to eat shit.

Looking at the Heavenly Legends lying unconscious on the ground, Yang Cilang trembled with fear.

“I... I admit defeat.”

He shouted loudly.

As soon as he said that, the crowd burst into an uproar.

“Has he admitted defeat?”

It was the first time someone directly admitted defeat in the competition between the Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions. Even Wang Yanyi, who was known as the “God of Sword”, did not make his opponent surrender because of fear.

Of course, this might have something to do with the persons that Wang Yanyi challenged. Wang Yanyi’s opponents all ranked above him. After all, the higher the ranking was, the higher the skill would be, and the more determined the mind would be. That was why Wang Yanyi did not act like Yang Cilang, whose mind and fighting will break down because of Li Mu’s strong vibe.

Li Mu was now standing on the Immortal-slaying Platform like a Celestial Demon. He defeated several Heavenly Legends in a row, and with a single strike, he defeated Gu Tianyu, who ranked the 95th. The aura and vibe he gave off were invincible and awed tens of thousands of practitioners around the platform.

Many people heard that Yang Cilang directly admitted defeat. They froze for a moment and then suddenly felt that it was a reasonable decision. If it were them who were challenged, they would probably choose to directly admit defeat just like Yang Cilang.

The reason was that the man standing on the Immortal-slaying Platform was simply invincible.

Li Mu did not expect that his opponent would suddenly admit defeat.

Li Yidao glanced at Yang Cilang, who was standing below the platform, lowering his head. Yang Cilang didn’t leave right away, and he seemed to be waiting for another person to admit defeat directly as he did.

Li Mu didn’t care what Yang Cilang was thinking.

When Yang Ciliang decided to add insult to injury and follow the trend to challenge Li Yidao, he was destined and deserved to suffer humiliation today.

This was what cause and effect were about.

Just when Li Mu was about to say the words “the next one”, he suddenly sensed something. He turned his head and looked toward the southwest.

A thin young man with delicate facial features appeared among the practitioners. No one knew when he showed up.

The young man was wearing a cold, sullen look on his face, not showing joy or sadness.

He carried two swords on his back.

Although the young man was surrounded by many practitioners, Li Mu had a very strange feeling about him.

Li Mu looked around and found that he was the only young man there.

The practitioners hustling around him were like a background board, which seemed to be meaningless.

“Is he the ‘God of Sword’, Wang Yanyi?”

Li Mu had never seen such a peerless genius like Wang Yanyi, who rose up like a comet. What he knew about this young man was limited to what he heard from the fat Posthouse Officer, Dongfang Piaoliang, who introduced the young man with a few simple words on the way here. However, as soon as Li Mu saw this young man, he felt certain that this person must be the “God of Sword”, Wang Yanyi.

At this time, the young man was looking at Li Mu.

Their eyes met.

Li Mu suddenly had a feeling that the look in the young man’s eyes rang a bell to him, and he seemed to have seen it somewhere before.
