Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Cangyun State, the Imperial City.

‘The Imperial City was a huge city with a few million people residing in it. It was the most prosperous place in Cangyun State.

This day, there was bloodshed in Imperial City.

The army from the northem part of Wuji State had captured the Imperial City and they were killing the people.

Corpses were lying around the Imperial Palace and the elite troop from Wuji State, the Flaming Red Troop, was fighting fiercely with the Janissary Troop from Cangyun State.

“Charge!”

‘The Emperor of Cangyun State, Liu Cangyun, was a middle-aged man. He was in a yellow robe with a sword in his hand. He led the Janissary Troop to attack the Flaming Red Troop.

A skillful beautiful young woman in a royal gown was charging at the enemies together with Liu Cangyun.

“Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Imperial City has been captured. Please leave immediately, Your Majesty!”

A General from Cangyun State called out as he continued to attack the enemies at the forefront.

“Your Majesty, Your Highness, please leave immediately!”

Many soldiers from the Janissary Troop called out as they stood around Liu Cangyun and the young woman to protect them.

All the soldiers were loyal to Emperor Liu Cangyun.

Cangyun State used to be in chaos, and it was Liu Cangyun who had led a group of people to fight the various battles. They had spent 20 years on unifying the nation and setting up Cangyun State.
‘Thus, all the soldiers in Cangyun State were willing to lay down their lives for Emperor Liu Cangyun.

“The soldiers from the Southern Border are already on their way here. We will be able to turn the tables on the enemies if we hang on for half a day more!” Liu Cangyun shouted. He had no intention to retreat.
In fact, he refused to retreat. If he were to retreat, there would be no hope for Cangyun State.

‘As long as they could hang on for half a day more, help would arrive. The entire troop from Wuji State was present and there were many casualties. When help arrived, Wuji State would be doomed.
“Your Majesty, I will fight alongside with you to the end!” The young woman said grimly as she came beside Liu Cangyun.

“Yue’er…!”

Liu Cangyun was about to speak up when he sensed himself to be in great danger.

A giant arrow flew down from the roof of a palace nearby like black lightning, targeting Liu Cangyun’s chest.

‘The arrow was quick and powerful. In an instant, it was near Liu Cangyun.

“Oh no!” Liu Cangyun turned pale. However, it was too late for him to duck away.

Pfft!

‘The arrow hit the chest and tore up the flesh. However, it did not land on Liu Cangyun but on the young woman.

At the crucial moment, the young woman had taken on the blow for Liu Cangyun.

‘The giant arrow pierced the heart of the young woman and killed her.

“Yue’er…!”

Liu Cangyun cried out in dismay. He hugged the young woman who had fallen to the ground and his eyes were reddened with sorrow.

His Queen, Yue’er, had died. She had died in order to save him!

“No!”

Liu Cangyun was pale as a sheet and his body trembled as though he had been struck by lightning.

“Your Majesty, Yue’er… is unable to search… for the answer with you!” The young woman struggled to say her last words in a faint voice before she gradually shut her eyes.

“No! Yue’er, I don’t want to search for the answer. I only want you to come back to life!” Liu Cangyun roared and his voice resounded through the entire palace.

He had established Cangyun State and come thus far as he had wanted to become powerful. He had had a vague memory since his youth which had prompted him to search for an answer.

However, he realized that he had made a mistake. After he had lost his beloved Yue’er, he realized that he had lost the most precious person in his life.

“Yue’e!
Liu Cangyun cried out uncontrollably. He looked as though he had lost his mind and he exuded a terrifying aura.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the memories of his rebirths flooded his mind and everything disappeared into thin air.

In Dosu Star, above the Dosu Tree.

‘The huge Gate of reincarnation emitted great power, connecting the present life to the past lives.

The Gate that had been still exploded all of a sudden.

Boom!

The explosion shook the entire area. The Gate of reincarnation collapsed and turned into green smoke before disappearing.

Su Mo appeared in his previous seated position, looking still.

However, his eyes had changed. He looked profound and he seemed to have gone through the mill.

His consciousness had gone through the rounds of rebirths where he had had a taste of the vicissitudes of life.

“What?”

“He is still alive! He has fended off the power of reincarnation!”

“He is amazing!”

“However, that is not the real Gate of reincarnation. It is the power of the Rules of Reincarnation!”

Everyone around the Dosu Tree was shocked to see that the Gate of reincarnation had disappeared, and they were amazed by Su Mo’s might.

Hoof!

Ling Chang heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Mo remained unscathed. She could finally be at ease.

How did he manage to stay alive!?

Quan Ruhai looked unhappy. He had reckoned that Wu Shan would have been killed but Wu Shan had fended off the power of reincarnation. He had a strong will to live.
A pair of red eyes was looking at Su Mo through the thick fog from afar off.

“He is not simple!”

Ge Li muttered to himself. Wu Shan was indeed a genius. However, he had to die this day.

Ge Li had not attacked Wu Shan yet and he had merely hidden in the thick fog in wait for an opportunity.

Su Mo took a deep breath as he sat above the Dosu Tree. It was not easy for him to get out of the Gate of reincarnation.

Although it was not the authentic reincarnation, it had almost taken his life.

‘Without hesitation, Su Mo activated the devouring power. He activated the Devouring Rules and the power of his Devouring Primordial Spirit to their optimum.
The mighty devouring power swirled around the area and engulfed the Dosu Tree.

Rumble!

The mighty devouring power had ruined the entire area.

The fog, the ground, and even some disciples had started to fly toward Su Mo.

‘The big stretch of land and the Dosu Tree swirled up high, ready for Su Mo to devour them.

“He has gone overboard!”

“He is starting to devour again!”

“Stop him!”

“We must not let him continue with it!”

The disciples who had gone to pluck the Dosu Fruits were enraged. Some of them were only around 30 meters away from the Dosu Fruits but they had been unable to proceed as Su Mo had started to devour again.
The disciples had two options. Either they would retreat or they would drive Wu Shan away or kill him.

In an instant, the disciples gathered their Power Source and were ready to attack Su Mo.

However, something strange happened. The huge Dosu Tree started to move.

Rumble!

The ground collapsed as the thick roots from the Dosu Tree pulled out from the ground. The roots were long, and they started to run away like an octopus!
Many disciples cried out as they were hit and thrown out by the thick roots.

Everyone, including Su Mo, was stunned.

The Dosu Tree has escaped!
