The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 611 The Shattering of a Thousand Stars

As Li Mu proceeded with the Zhenwu Boxing, he found that the moves became steadily harder to master and attain great achievement.

Almost every time he made a breakthrough in the Zhenwu Boxing, he was in a life-and-death battle.

The last time, the power of the Endless Waves broke out when his life was on the line.

This time, he performed the Endless Waves over and over again. The power of his punches overlapped and constantly bombarded the hellish three-headed dog, making which bellow like mad. Li Mu himself was also repeatedly hit by its tail. Eventually, some bruises and tumidness started to appear on the surface of his body. The power in his body was constantly circulating, while one wave of power overlaid another. And the feeling that he should let nature run its course and the success was assured had permeated through his body. On a subconscious level, he displayed the seventh style of Zhenwu Boxing.

The seventh style of Zhenwu Boxing was the Shattering of a Thousand Stars.

This was a punch carrying overwhelming destructive power. Under the influence of his inner force, he could directly pass over the opponent’s defense and land his punch in the opponent’s body. Then, the energy the punch carried would explode, harming the opponent from the inside.

It might sound simple, but the most terrible thing about it was that it enabled one to “pass over the opponent’s defense”.

As its name indicated, the Shattering of a Thousand Stars meant that when one’s punching skill was practiced to perfection, he could even directly smash planets. When one exercised this punch, the energy of the explosion would burst out and shatter a thousand stars, reducing a part of the universe into ruins and dust. The name of this style did vividly describe its power.

When the old faker described the power of this move to Li Mu back then, Li Mu simply thought that the old man might be running a fever and prattling again. Such a preposterous plot would not even be found in s. Could one really smash countless stars with a punch? Even a nuclear bomb couldn’t be that powerful, could it? But now...

Li Mu was convinced.

“Kaboom!”

Li Mu’s punch landed on the left head of the hellish three-headed dog.

The fist force seemed to have flow against the current and instantly poured into the huge skull despite the protection provided by its thick skin and hard bones.

“Ah, d*mn it, little bug, you really pissed me off...” The hellish three-headed dog felt an indescribable pain in its left head, which was madly crushing down on its nerves. The agony immediately made it go hysterical. Its tails whipped back and forth as fast as a strike of lightning, ruthlessly lashing Li Mu.

The next moment, Li Mu groaned. Sparks flew in front of his eyes. He felt a sharp pain and was again sent flying by the tail covered with spikes.

After that—

“Bang!”

The sound of a watermelon being smashed by a hammer was heard.

The left head of the hellish three-headed dog suddenly burst open from the inside, and its red blood and white brains spurted out, instantly blotting out half of the sky. Among the mess, there were white broken bones and black fur...

In an instant, only two of its three heads were left.

“Aargh...”

From the remaining two heads of the hellish three-headed dog, earth-shattering and blood-curdling screams came out.

When the surrounding cultivators saw what was happening, their scalps went numb.

What else could they say?

It was simply a nightmare.

Previously, they thought that hopefully, the General Realm master could easily vanquish Li Mu. A while later, they thought that if Li Mu was able to survive the attack of the hellish three-headed dog in the General Realm, it would be a miracle that could amaze the entire Brilliance Immortal Star Region. But now, they witnessed that one of the heads of the hellish three-headed dog in the General Realm had been destroyed by Li Mu.

The three-headed dog now became two-headed.

“This Li Mu is really fiendish!”

“Where did this monster come from?”

If now someone said that the real identity of Li Mu the Wild Broadsword was actually the secret future leader of a super large sect in the Ziwei Star Zone, people would definitely believe it.

He was too strong!

His power seemed just outrageously strong.

He was too mighty to be human.

At this moment, the Second Senior Fellow Apprentice was also dumbfounded.

“Now that you’re so powerful, why did you go into hiding before? Why not just go out and crush all the opponents from the first place? It seemed totally unnecessary to cause me to be shot in the ass and Ding Yi almost to be poisoned to death... Eh? Could it be that you suddenly grew stronger over the past few days?

“But that would be even more ridiculous, wouldn’t it?

“Could Li Mu directly leap from the Worm Realm to a place where he could crush those in the General Realm in less than two months? Even if he had gold-colored fairy crystals for food every day, he couldn’t have progressed that fast, could he?”

Second Senior Fellow Apprentice thought that he had already seen it all since he dominated the ancient times and went dormant until this era. But when he watched Li Mu’s performance in the battle, he felt like he was having a headache. He couldn’t figure it out. This was just too absurd.

Even the “Celestial Master” in the mass of the Primeval Qi in the sky was shocked.

“F*cking Amitayus Buddha, you brat actually...”

The mysterious Taoist directly uttered a swear word. He was also frightened to see that Li Mu smashed one of the heads of the hellish three-headed dog with one punch.

Li Mu was rolling in the air, wrapped in the fragments of the space barrier.

“The power of the ‘Shattering of a Thousand Stars’ is really terrible.”

He was ecstatic.

The power of Zhenwu Boxing was beyond his imagination.

Each of its styles encompassed a kind of intendment of martial arts.

For example, the overlapping force of the Endless Waves and the explosive force of the Shattering of a Thousand Stars had completely surpassed any kind of divine skill or secret method in any sense.

“But what would happen if I combined the intendment of the Endless Waves and the Shattering of a Thousand Stars together?”

Such an idea came to Li Mu’s mind.

However, in the next moment, the hellish three-headed dog roared angrily. A bright red ball of flesh grew out from the cut of the head that had been blown up. It sprouted out at a speed visible to the naked eye. Eventually, a new head exactly the same as the old one grew back.

“It can grow back?”

When Li Mu saw this scene, he was also staggered.

“Grrr, you little scumbag, I will definitely devour you today!” The hellish three-headed dog roared repeatedly. A mysterious black flame began to wrap around its body. White spikes continued to sprout out and cover its skin like daggers.

It was actually beginning to transform.

The energy fluctuations it was emitting were increasing rapidly.

“It seems that every General Realm cultivator can’t be underestimated.”

Li Mu was surprised, but his fighting spirit was even more vigorous.

He steadied his body and the auspicious clouds under his feet appeared again. Then, once again, he rushed over to fight.

There was a reason why Li Mu picked this hellish three-headed dog in the General Realm as his opponent. In fact, he had already seen through it with his Third Eye that the General Realm pressure issued by the hellish three-headed dog stemmed from its race’s innate magical power instead of its acquired cultivation.

Although it had the power of the General Realm, all it could do was the primitive biting and whipping its tail. Unlike the Dharma-laksana Projection of the mining slave, it was unable to perform Cultivation Methods or secret methods to attack the enemy.

It could be said that in addition to the destructive energy that it could squirt out, the most important thing the hellish three-headed dog relied on during the battle was its physical strength.

But when it came to physical combat, Li Mu was also a seasoned expert.

Therefore, in terms of fighting method and fighting style, the hellish three-headed dog had been completely restrained by Li Mu from the very beginning. That was why it still could not defeat Li Mu with its General-Level power.

But when Li Mu grasped the intendment of the seventh style of the Zhenwu Boxing, the Shattering of a Thousand Stars, the tide was turned.

Even if Li Mu was lashed 10,000 more times by the hellish three-headed dog’s tail, the injury he would get would be nothing more than some bruises and swelling. However, as long as the hellish three-headed dog was hit by Li Mu’s Shattering of a Thousand Stars once, its skin would be torn open and its bones would be broken.

This kind of explosive punch which could circumvent any defense and burst out from the inside had completely kept the hellish three-headed dog in check.

“Grrr...”

The hellish three-headed dog snarled. Its huge body was as dented as the surface of the moon. The dents on its skin were bleeding. Its skin was flayed open and its flesh was torn. Except for the main head in the middle, its other two heads had both been blown up twice.

At the last, the hellish three-headed dog began to look at Li Mu with some fear in its eyes.

“Bug, I won’t forget you... I’ll be back.”

Scared, it turned around to escape.

“No one can live after offending the Hellhound Clan. Remember this.”

As if doing cliff diving, the hellish three-headed dog plunged into the void and disappeared behind the ripples.

Li Mu wasn’t fast enough to catch it.

Although the Somersault Cloud could allow one to go extremely fast, it couldn’t enable one to cross the void.

Li Mu’s natural qi cultivation was merely at the Life-and-Death Bridge Stage of the Mortal Realm. In terms of the control and comprehension of the Divine Way, he could not be compared with the real General Realm cultivators, so he could not catch the dog.

This battle ended with the escape of the hellish three-headed dog.

The General Realm combatant, who was also a member of the notoriously ferocious Hellhound Clan, had been forced into a flee in the battle against Li Mu.

The nearby cultivators really didn’t know what to say about this result.

With the escape of the three Hellhounds, the battle between the other pair of general-level experts also came to an end. The Dharma-laksana Projection of the mining slave was cut into two pieces by the sword of the “Celestial Master”. A rain of golden blood poured from the sky...

“Ah, stinky Taoist, the Deity Clan will not let go of you evil remnants...”

The angry and painful voice of the mining slave echoed between heaven and earth.

The two parts of the Dharma-laksana Projection scattered like smoke and quickly disappeared in the void, along with all the energy fluctuations and the aura of Taoist figures. The suppressive power that had pervaded between heaven and earth was completely gone as well.

All the cultivators felt more relaxed.

The force field and pressure cast by those in the General Realm quickly dissipated.

The mass of Primeval Qi in the sky also gradually faded away. The lanky Taoist who claimed to be the Celestial Master hiding in it looked in Li Mu’s direction and said, “I finally have qualified successor. Hahaha, I am not alone after all... Li Mu, you have proved yourself twice in a row. I am looking forward to meeting you in the Ziwei Star Zone.”

After that, without waiting for Li Mu to pose any questions, the Taoist completely vanished with the mass of the Primeval Qi.

“Hey! Don’t go!”

Li Mu had a ton of questions to ask, but the “Celestial Master” simply slunk off.

“What did he mean by ‘twice in a row’?

“Other than defeating the hellish three-headed dog, when was the other time I proved myself?”

Li Mu had felt that the voice of the “Celestial Master” was a little familiar, which sounded quite obscene. And when he made his departure, it was more like he was running away from him despite the nice speech he made.

However, that Taoist was probably a friend rather than an enemy.

Finally, Li Mu had met the “one of his own” in this vast universe.

Moreover, Li Mu had a vague feeling that this “one of his own” might not be the only “Celestial Masters” in the universe. There must be many others at the same level as the Taoist was. Because when the “Celestial Master” referred to himself as “we Celestial Masters”, while the Dharma-laksana Projection of the mining slave called him “you guys” instead of “you”.

Li Mu’s body was covered with red lash marks, and his clothes were almost all torn up.

With a stir of his mind, a faint light flashed.

Pieces of armor appeared on his body, rendering him fully-armed. it was exactly the top-grade Taoist Treasure, the Dragon Storm Armor, that he purchased on the Immortal Net earlier. In the previous battle, Li Mu did not put on this suit of armor even though he was basically running around naked. That was because Li Mu knew this armor would be ruined after it took a few blows from the General Realm cultivator and so would not be of much help. But if it was destroyed in the battle, wouldn’t the money Li Mu had paid for it all go to waste?

“Well, I gotta be careful with money.”

With the divine armor covering his body, Li Mu stood in the void, like the God of War who had come from ancient times. His martial prowess was invincible.

Li Mu looked around.

The entire Star Wind City seemed to be trembling under his feet.

The surrounding cultivators were also shivering in fear.

No one dared to unsheathe their weapons anymore.

“Since you’re here, why don’t you show yourself?”

As a beam of divine light shone in his Third Eye, Li Mu turned to look at the void in a distance.

As soon as his words were out, a white-haired, white-robed swordsman wearing a high crown and a black cloak emerged in the void in a distance. On his white clothes, the symbol of the Tianyi Palace was very conspicuous. There was no energy fluctuation around him, but the pressure he had been imposing on others was extremely suffocating, which was no less than what was emitted by the hellish three-headed dog.

He was a General-Level expert.

“He is Lin Yuhan the Feather Sword, Head of the Tianyi Palace,” someone who had recognized the identity of the white-haired swordsman exclaimed.

The atmosphere suddenly became very tense.

Was there going to be another big battle that involved a General-Level expert?
