Divine Emperor of Heavenly Destiny

Likewise, Mo Jing on the other side had no intention of retreating.

At this moment, he was absolutely livid.

At first, he thought he could use his Destiny Bone to suppress Lu Chao’s hundreds of thousands of soldiers. He believed he could act like a god, looking down from on high and killing Lu Chao’s men however he pleased.

But as it turned out, Lu Chao also possessed a Star Divine Bone and had completely shattered his Destiny Bone’s suppression.

Then, the Little Sword-Winged Ice Wolf’s left wing was severed. And now, he himself had actually been wounded. ’What a disgrace!’

BOOM...

As this thought crossed Mo Jing’s mind, he kicked off a large tree behind him, launching himself at Lu Chao. ”You little bastard from Azure Flame! Let’s see if you can gather power faster than I can! Let’s see how many of my attacks you can block...”

As his words fell, Mo Jing snatched a flying spear out of the air and viciously hurled it toward Lu Chao.

The True Qi of a cultivator Above the Creation Peak imbued the weapon, and the dark spear light it cast resembled a crescent slash...

It shot straight for the top of Lu Chao’s head.

Seeing this, Lu Chao took a deep breath. True Qi erupted from his entire body as he once again gathered the power of his soldiers. ”Dragon General Bone, Fury Dragon Spear Slash!”

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The spear and the lance collided heavily. The Fury Dragon Spear Slash was a Martial Technique of the Dragon General Bone, which allowed him to rapidly gather the True Qi of the masses for a powerful strike.

Mo Jing’s spear, Lu Chao’s lance... CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! Sparks flew everywhere!

In the eyes of the surrounding crowd...

Lu Chao led his cavalry in a continuous charge, the long lance in his hands roaring like a startled dragon. Before him, Mo Jing’s True Qi was overwhelmingly powerful as he clashed madly with Lu Chao’s lance again and again.

Mo Jing faced an entire army alone, but as Lu Chao charged, he was still continuously knocked back.

He was strong. Mo Jing was very strong!

But he was facing the combined power and charge of Lu Chao and his cavalry.

Therefore, he could only be pushed back. He was not yet powerful enough to wipe out ten thousand cavalrymen with a single move.

The reason Mo Jing was attacking so frantically was that he believed Lu Chao couldn’t continuously gather the power of his soldiers. He thought Lu Chao wouldn’t be able to last under his assault, but as Mo Jing retreated, he roared...

”Impossible! How can you see through my attacks?”

In fact, it wasn’t just that he thought Lu Chao couldn’t continuously gather power...

He also believed Lu Chao was just a country bumpkin from the Azure Flame Domain, while he himself was an expert from the Cyan Sword Great Empire. Whether in Martial Techniques or combat experience, Lu Chao couldn’t possibly compare.

Even if Lu Chao could continuously attack with gathered power, he, Mo Jing, could use superior Martial Techniques to break through Lu Chao’s own.

But the reality was...

Not only could Lu Chao continuously gather power, but he could also see through his attacks and layers of spear shadows. Every single clash was blocked with perfect accuracy, and he could even launch counterattacks.

”Why couldn’t I see through your attacks? Take this!” Lu Chao roared back, unleashing another Fury Dragon Spear Slash.

His eyes had long been suffused with the power of the Star Bright Eyes Bone.

The Bright Eyes Bone, combined with Lu Chao’s own combat instincts, completely shut down Mo Jing’s attacks. And so it continued... BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

At this moment, Nan Zhuiming and the other three were lying prone in the tall grass.

They had just been hiding behind the Little Sword-Winged Ice Wolf, but when Lu Chao severed its wing, the resulting blast of Demonic Power had thrown them into the forest.

Now, the four great masters of the Azure Flame Domain didn’t dare show their heads.

The air outside was thick with flying arrows and spears. To stick one’s head out meant death.

They stared blankly at Lu Chao’s charging cavalry, watching as Lu Chao relentlessly drove Mo Jing back. Zeng Quan couldn’t help but ask, ”Marshal Lu, tell me honestly, did you really finish the job with that rebellious son of yours back then?”

Lu Dingtian’s face darkened, his anger flaring. ”Of course I finished him off completely! Don’t you question me again.”

Hearing that question made Lu Dingtian want to explode with frustration.

GULP...

Nan Zhuiming swallowed hard. ”What are his origins? There’s no way he’s from the Azure Flame Domain. Where did you pick him up?”

They were too shocked. Lord Cyan Sword Mo Jing, a man they regarded as a god, had been beaten so badly he was coughing up blood.

It completely shattered their worldview...

In their eyes, Mo Jing was invincible. But Lu Chao had done the impossible, and with such cold, ruthless determination.

One strike of his lance severed the Ice Wolf’s wing; now, every thrust was aimed at taking Mo Jing’s life.

”It was just outside the Great Wu Imperial City. At first, I was just picking out some stray beggar children to train into Death Warriors.”

”If their training was poor, I’d just kill them and throw them away.”

”Only later did I discover that Lu Chao had actually awakened three Heavenly Destiny Saint Bones during his training, so I took him in as my adoptive son.”

Lu Dingtian briefly explained Lu Chao’s story to Nan Zhuiming and the other two.

”Of course I knew he probably wasn’t from the Azure Flame Domain, but he had amnesia. I tried to investigate... but we can’t even leave the Azure Flame Domain, so how could I possibly trace his origins?”

”There were no clues whatsoever.”

’Since I couldn’t find out, I couldn’t use his background to maximize my own benefits. So of course, the only thing to do was to nurture his bones and then dig them out.’

’Who knew he could actually come back from the dead?’

If he had been able to find out Lu Chao’s origins, he could have used him to latch onto some powerful figure outside the Azure Flame Domain.

But since he couldn’t, the obvious choice was to let Lu Chao’s Saint Bones mature, then dig them out and claim them for himself.

Lu Dingtian himself didn’t have a Saint Bone, so he was incredibly envious of the Saint Bone Families.

Of course, now they should be called Star Saint Bones.

Listening to Lu Dingtian, Nan Zhuiming and the other two fell silent. They no longer doubted whether Lu Dingtian had finished the job.

As for the matter of excavating Lu Chao’s Saint Bones, from their perspective, there was nothing wrong with it.

’He wasn’t Lu Dingtian’s own flesh and blood, so what’s the problem with digging them out?’

’Feelings? Can you eat those?’

Suddenly, Zheng Liling spoke up again. ”Marshal Lu, there’s definitely something special about his Bone of Myriad Stars. I’m afraid it’s an even higher-grade Heavenly Destiny Bone. That must be why you couldn’t kill him for good.”

Zeng Quan added, ”The Bone of Myriad Stars couldn’t possibly reach this level. How could it allow someone to master whatever they learn?”

”Right. These lance slashes carry the aura of the legendary Dragon General Bone. How could the Bone of Myriad Stars imitate it so perfectly?” Nan Zhuiming added, attributing Lu Chao’s resurrection entirely to the Bone of Myriad Stars.

The Bone of Myriad Stars was said to be all-encompassing but a master of none, yet Lu Chao’s mastery was simply too profound.

The more they spoke, the more Lu Dingtian regretted it. ’How did I not discover that Lu Chao had a fourth Heavenly Destiny Bone back then?’

Just as the four masters of the Azure Flame Domain were speaking in hushed tones... PTAH!

The sound of someone vomiting blood rang out. The four quickly looked up and saw their Lord Cyan Sword Mo Jing being sent flying again. This time, Mo Jing was spraying blood from his mouth as he hurtled backward through the air.

With another BANG, he crashed heavily into a large boulder, shattering it.

Before the four could react, Lu Chao shouted again in a cold voice, ”Don’t stop! Continue the charge with me...”

The goal was still to kill Mo Jing if possible, and if not, to severely wound him.

THUMP THUMP THUMP...

Lu Chao led the cavalry behind him, charging toward the shattered boulder where Mo Jing had landed.

Everywhere they passed, grass and trees were trampled and broken by their momentum. Everyone—from experts like Dongfang Ren to the ordinary Dragon Flame Students and the Hundred Countries’ Armies—understood the immense significance of killing Mo Jing. Just moments before, they had all been suppressed by his Destiny Bone.

It was a terrifying experience, and no one wanted to go through it again.
