Chapter 974: Two-Faced Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu

The two men were acting like two aunts bargaining at a food stall in Li Yunmu’s heavenly world. One of them wanted to throw the things while the other one wanted to keep them. Fortunately, the other residents of the heavenly world couldn’t see them, or Li Yunmu’s prestige would have dropped by a lot.

At that moment, he was completely relaxed though. He always appeared as a cold and indifferent person in front of others, but for some reason, he displayed his original nature in front of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu.

It was most likely due to trust, however. Ryukyu had helped him like a teacher without any ulterior motive or greed for his treasures. He didn’t have any bad thoughts in regards to his student.

Li Yunmu considered Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu as the most trusted person apart from his parents and elder sister, so he didn’t have any vigilance toward him and returned to the carefree days of Earth.

Before long, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu found the herbs in the heavenly world and both of them came out.

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu released a powerful pressure and lifted his right hand, where a sparkling clear flame appeared. He then threw all the ingredients into the flame.

The flame divided into two, then into four parts ,and before long, it had divided into nine flame dragons. Each of them swallowed one type of ingredient, after which their shape began to change under the naked eye. They all turned into medicinal liquid.

Afterwards, the liquid began to congeal in the stomachs of the flame dragons. Once they came denser, the nine flame dragons containing the medicinal liquid fused together, allowing all the medicinal liquids to merge together.

They slowly coalesced and began to take the form of a pill. The nine flame dragons then began to revolve around the pill.

Soon after, a medicinal fragrance spread out, and Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu withdrew the flame into his palm. The pill fell into his hand, and he went to Li Yunmu’s side.

“Eat it. I couldn’t find some ingredients so I had to use substitutes. I don’t know if it will have any side-effects or not,” Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu said to Li Yunmu with a sinister smile.

Li Yunmu’s face darkened, but his whole body was aching so he swallowed the pill. Once it entered his body, it transformed into medicinal liquid and began to heal his body.

During the healing process, he detected a lot of medicinal power moving around in his body. His bones began to itch, which was the sign of healing.

But it was extremely difficult to endure the itch.

Li Yunmu soon noticed that the itching in his bones was extremely abnormal. It even affected his soul, and the scratching of his skin did not help at all.

“Seems like the pill’s side effect is an extremely abnormal itch. Apparently one cannot use life phase flower to substitute for life and death grass. Tomorrow, we should try using death phase flower…”

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu observed Li Yunmu’s condition without any pain or joy. He just fished out a small notebook from somewhere and began to record the changes in Li Yunmu’s body.

At that moment, Li Yunmu’s complexion was extremely unsightly. He had realized that the old codger was using him as a guinea pig, and the next day, he would change a herb and experiment on him again. When Li Yunmu thought about that, he wished he could chop Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu into pieces.

Fourteen hours passed with Li Yunmu enduring the torture before the itching finlly subsided. He heaved a sigh of relief after its disappearance and thought about how long the hours had been.

Soon after, Li Yunmu began to check the situation of his body and discovered that all the bones that had broken the day before had been healed. A layer of green light was also wrapped around them

Li Yunmu stood up and said to Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, “Senior, quickly attack me. I want to see what has changed.”

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu waved his fist and sent a punch toward Li Yunmu’s chest.

“Senior, you don’t need to hold back. Using the previous level of strength is good.”

Li Yunmu sensed that the punch was quite soft and spoke with the belief that Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu had been holding back.

“No need to hold back? This is the same strength as before.”

“Haha, it was only so-so. I can still…”

When Li Yunmu heard that his physical body had surprisingly become so formidable, he felt complacent. But before he could say anything else, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s another punch came flying toward him.

It crushed him without any resistance.

Because Li Yunmu’s physical body was very weak previously, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu had only needed to hit him five times. Things had changed, however. After Li Yunmu’s body had recuperated, his endurance had increased greatly.

This allowed Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu to release his full strength. At that moment, Li Yunmu was again being beaten while Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu kept raining down punches from the sky, causing Li Yunmu to fly left and right.

Soon enough, Li Yunmu knelt on the ground once more. He was in an even more miserable state compared to last time, since there was no part of his body which was left unaffected.

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu narrowed his eyes and mocked Li Yunmu. “You also are only so-so.”

Li Yunmu looked at Heavenly Emperor with eyes filled with hate, but couldn’t do anything. Who had asked him to be so weak and get beaten like that?

After that, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu again entered Li Yunmu’s heavenly world.

Very soon, a pill appeared in Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s hands and he looked at Li Yunmu with a treacherous smile.

“Eat it. I have improved the prescription this time, so it shouldn’t itch like last time.”

Li Yunmu looked at the pill with a heart full of terror. Right then, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu was no different from a pervert in his eyes, but because of his injuries, Li Yunmu still closed his eyes and swallowed the pill.

Sure enough, as Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu had said, Li Yunmu didn’t feel the strange itch, but his complexion turned even more unsightly than before.

It was due to an excruciating pain he had felt at that moment. It was incomparable to anything he’d felt before, and it directly attacked his soul. Li Yunmu was an extremely determined person, but even his forehead filled with sweat despite him not saying anything.

Under his gaze which could kill anyone, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu took out a notebook once more and recorded his situation.

After that, Li Yunmu continued to pass the days in a similar fashion. He was beaten up every day until he couldn’t stand and then tortured by some pill created by Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu.

But in the end, Li Yunmu was able to endure it without having a nervous breakdown and was able withstand the tempering by Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu. Once he went through the training, his physical body could not be compared to the past. His every movement released a powerful energy.

At that moment, all the bones in Li Yunmu’s body were covered in a layer of green liquid, like from the iron bones martial art Li Yunmu had cultivated previously.

But his power right then wasn’t something the trifling iron bones could compare to. It was a transformation in quality. At that moment, Li Yunmu could contend against several great principal golden immortals with his physical strength alone.

It was also the reason why Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu became the most powerful person in the immortal World. He was much more formidable compared to everyone else despite the immortal world of that time being full of heavenly emperor realm powerhouses.
