Chapter 976: Dao Perishes

With the passage of time, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s projection became increasingly more transparent because he continuously used his strength. But Li Yunmu, who was focused on his dao, did not notice it.

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu smiled and knocked his dao intent against Li Yunmu’s dao intent, which hadn’t formed yet.

“My path is Ryukyu’s path, which exists in this world and transcends it. Without sadness or joy, where my dao moves, all the daos will scatter and no one can stop it. If I intend to defend, then everything will be peaceful. If I intend to kill, then all living things will be exterminated!”

Once Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu spoke, his dao intent transformed into a sharp sword pointed at Li Yunmu’s dao foundation. The sharp sword was emitting a biting cold which caused the temperature in the surroundings to drop.

Li Yunmu smiled faintly. “My dao is my dao. It belongs only to me, and if heaven cannot endure it, then I will wipe out heaven. If this earth cannot tolerate it, then I will destroy it. The lives of all the lifeforms in this world and above depend on my mood.”

Li Yunmu’s dao intent also took the shape of a sharp sword and clashed against Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s sword intent, but it shattered into pieces swiftly after.

What left Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu frowning was that Li Yunmu’s dao was extremely enormous, attempting to place itself above heaven and earth. It was the same as becoming enemies with heaven and earth, so when the time came, the heavenly dao would definitely use its most formidable tribulation to discipline Li Yunmu.

The reason why Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu wanted to try and correct Li Yunmu’s dao was so that when he faced the heavenly tribulation, he would still have a chance to keep his life.

But how could Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu know that Li Yunmu had thoroughly offended the heavenly dao. Regardless of how Li Yunmu’s dao changed in the future, as long as Li Yunmu stepped out of ryukyu small world, he would be facing the most powerful heavenly punishment, purple firmament divine thunder!

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu continued with his teachings.

“My dao cannot be obstructed by anyone apart from heaven and earth; I am the first person under heaven and earth. All the vegetation growing in this world is offered to me, all the evils in this world fear me, and I can walk tall across this world!”

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu wanted to assist Li Yunmu by reducing the sharpness of his dao a little bit, but he hadn’t expected that Li Yunmu would only have an indifferent expression on his face.

“In my dao, neither heaven nor earth, only I can stand proudly over this world. If I want, then I will become immortal, if I don’t want it, then I will become a devil. Who can stop me?”

This time, Li Yunmu’s dao intent transformed into a heavy sword, and the fluctuations coming from it were even more formidable than Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s dao intent. It was unexpectedly shattered in an instant, which then struck his dao foundation.

A hint of praise appeared in Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s eyes, but the more formidable Li Yunmu’s dao intent was, the more difficult it would be for him to become an emperor. And if he couldn’t even become an emperor, how could he become unparalleled in the immortal world?

“Everything under the starry skies serves the heavenly dao, and my dao is unparalleled, so how can heaven and earth be above me? Within this world, heaven cannot stop me and earth cannot obstruct me, so what’s the difference?”

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu didn’t agree to give up. He didn’t want to obstruct Li Yunmu’s dao, but hoped to slightly curb his sharpness so that he would have a chance to survive when facing the heavens.

But Li Yunmu didn’t feel the same and said, “My dao, how can this heaven and earth contain it? I desire that in this world, the heaven and earth would also follow my intent. If I want to leave, it shouldn’t dare to obstruct me!”

Hiss!

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu hadn’t expected that Li Yunmu’s thinking would be so far-sighted. The world they lived in couldn’t satisfy him, so Li Yunmu’s dao intent wasn’t something which Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu could hinder.

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu sighed. “With your dao, if you don’t defeat your enemy, you will definitely perish and fall into the abyss, unable to reincarnate for eternity. In the future, your name will be erased from this world. But then again, with heaven itself being your enemy, how can it be so easy!”

Li Yunmu knew about the worries of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, but he still said with a faint smile, “If I couldn’t transcend the heavenly dao, then what’s the use of my dao? There are no limits on the path of comprehending the dao. I desire to attain even higher realms. If I die, so be it, but if I don’t die, the heavenly dao will be under my feet!”

When Li Yunmu said the final word, his dao intent transformed into a long dragon, which suppressed Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s dao foundation. Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s dao intent was unable to resist for long and was shattered straight away.

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu laughed bitterly; Li Yunmu’s dao intent was extremely deep. He was no longer able to stop it, so Li Yunmu would have to rely on himself in the future.

At that moment, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s body turned even more illusory, and Li Yunmu finally noticed that something was wrong.

“Master, what’s going on?!” he asked in a hurry.

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu smiled lightly. “Nothing. I have been in this world for too long and have become tired.”

How could Li Yunmu not know the meaning behind Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s words? His master’s soul was on the cusp of dissipating, which greatly pained Li Yunmu.

His eyes turned slightly red. He hadn’t expected that the master who had taught him so much in the last few years would leave so suddenly. He was extremely grieved by this fact and was ready to use everything he had in his possession as long as he could save his master.

At that moment, he suddenly recalled the ocean monarch stone he had obtained previously. It had the effect of healing the soul, but Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu waved his him away.

“Why are you panicking so much? With such an appearance, don’t tell anyone outside that you are my, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s, disciple. Also, you can calm down, I am not going to dissipate for some more time. While I can still speak, I will hand some matters over to you.”

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu sighed. Li Yunmu truly thought of him as his master, but he had lived long enough, so he only shook his head.

“Alright, now carefully hear what I am gonna say. Since you have ocean monarch stone, it means that the Solitary Ignition Sword is already in your hands. But you must pay attention, the evil influence of the Solitary Ignition Sword is extremely heavy. If you aren’t completely confident in being able to control it, don’t use it at all!”

Li Yunmu nodded repeatedly, still thinking of saying something, but Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s stern gaze made him keep his mouth shut and continue to respectfully listen to Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s teachings.

“I have placed the emperor’s goblet in this void. After my soul dissipates, you should take it. It contains all the comprehensions I obtained in my lifetimes and the cultivation essence I congealed. But it seems like you don’t need to rely on me greatly. Your dao is extremely special and cannot be influenced by external things.

“There’s still the Yin Devil Sovereign outside, but he shouldn’t be your opponent now, and given my understanding, he will naturally dissipate. The ryukyu spirit pearl won’t be destroyed, so after you leave and wipe him out, it could be considered as fulfilling one of my wishes.”

Throughout the speech, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu’s body turned even more transparent. Seeing this, Li Yunmu quickly took out the ocean monarch stone, but Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu waved him away and gave a small notebook to Li Yunmu. It was the one in which he had written when concocting pills for Li Yunmu.

“This is my lifetime’s comprehension on concocting pills, which I want to impart to you. Regardless of what you say, you are still partially an inheriting disciple, so you mustn’t sully your master’s title ‘Medicine Emperor’!

“Finally, I want to remind you that no one has walked your path previously, but I believe that you can definitely transcend this world.

“I’m done now. My time as your master is near end…”

After the last words, Heavenly Master Ryukyu’s figure turned almost completely transparent. Only a vague outline of it could be seen, and Li Yunmu became even more sorrowful.

“System quickly come out! Come here and save my master! I don’t need the experience points and space elements, just quickly save my master!” Li Yunmu howled. Two streams of tears were going down his face.

[It’s useless, how can you save someone who wants to die…] the system said with a sigh.

“Good disciple, master is going to see his wife. After so many years, master is tired. You must work hard and become an existence who can transcend this heaven and earth! Haha haha ha…”
