970 Real Soul Of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu

Li Yunmu pondered it for some more time before understood what had happened. The final stair had to have been more than a simple stair. Instead, it was a teleport portal, which had transferred him to the void.

But why? According to reason, there shouldn't be anyone in the world who could spread the information about the place to others, so why did the Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu prepare such a thing?

Li Yunmu surveyed his surroundings, but nothingness covered everything. When he tried using his cultivation, he discovered that he could still use it, so what exactly was the purpose behind creating the void realm?

The next second, Li Yunmu raised his guard because small light dots gathered in front of his eyes. They converged to form the figure of an awe-inspiring man.

His features seemed to have been chiseled out of stone, with sharp edges and a grave appearance. He was clad in silver armor and had a blood-red cape fluttering behind him.

He held a sword in his left hand and was carrying a pearl producing endless brilliance in his right hand. White light flickered in the man's eyes, and a powerful presence rushed to attack Li Yunmu.

The man was probably the Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu. When he looked at Li Yunmu, a powerful presence attacked him. It had the strength of a heavenly emperor, which suffocated Li Yunmu.

Even the space surrounding him seemed to have frozen. Although Li Yunmu was powerful, he was only a great principal golden immortal. When confronted by a heavenly emperor, the pressure on him was so great that he couldn't breathe. His legs went soft, but he bit his lip and remained standing.

Who was Li Yunmu? He was a person who had awakened the heart of a powerhouse by relying on himself, so how could he yield to something like pressure from those above him.

"Want to make me kneel? Impossible! Even heaven can't do that! Nor earth! It is impossible for a trifling remnant soul to do that!"

Li Yunmu released his full strength. His eyes went wide, and he clenched his teeth while resisting the presence of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu.

Until then, Li Yunmu believed that even if he couldn't beat a heavenly emperor, if he staked his life, there was still a 50-50 chance. But the truth was that a heavenly emperor was much more frightening than what he thought.

Just an attack from the presence had left Li Yunmu barely able to stand. If the opponent really attacked, how powerful would that be?

But the enemy didn't seem to have the intent to attack. Instead, he curled his lips slightly to form a faintly discernible smile.

Li Yunmu, in the meantime, was thinking of using dark energy to attack, but the next moment, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu pulled back his pressure.

"What's your name?" An imposing voice echoed in Li Yunmu's mind.

Li Yunmu was faintly startled and found himself unable to see through the Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu. But he still kept his waist and back straight. Even if he confronted a heavenly emperor from ancient times, he didn't feel any dread.

"I am Li Yunmu, and you are Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu?"

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu looked at Li Yunmu, and the admiration in his heart for the young man became even deeper.

"You surprisingly dare to be so arrogant in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu asked Li Yunmu with a malevolent expression.

"You can't kill me!" Li Yunmu said disdainfully.

Although Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu was much more powerful than him, he wouldn't die with the amount of trump cards he had. His shadow techniques put him in an invincible position.

"Haha, interesting little guy."

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu suddenly began to smile.

Seeing this, Li Yunmu became extremely suspicious. He couldn't understand the Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu in the slightest. What does this person want? And why did he appear in front of me?

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu seemed to have sensed Li Yunmu's suspicions, and he spoke up to explain himself. "Actually, the one standing in front of you is my projection, my genuine residual soul."

A question mark appeared on Li Yunmu's face. He couldn't understand the meaning of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu's words and whether what he said was true or false.

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu's expression tightened as he continued. "Within this ryukyu spirit pearl, you can find another part of my soul, but that isn't my real residual soul. As for who it is, you should be clear about that in your heart."

When Li Yunmu heard the words of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, how could he not know that the fake soul which Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu was talking about belonged to the Yin Devil Sovereign.

"Then why did you appear here?'

Li Yunmu was extremely curious. If the one inside was Yin Devil Emperor, why would he let the soul of Heavenly Emperor stay here?

"In your words, it is because he is unable to kill me!"

After saying that, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu sighed.

His words startled Li Yunmu, who couldn't understand the meaning of them. Why was he saying that Yin Devil Sovereign couldn't kill him?

"After the great war concluded, many powerhouses perished, but I was lucky enough to survive," Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu, recalling the past.

He paused for a moment, then continued. "When I learned that remnant effects of Yin Devil Sovereign's attack still existed and continued to endanger the world, I immediately set out. When I arrived here, I discovered that the ryukyu spirit pearl was already damaged; otherwise, my strength wouldn't have been enough to subdue it."

"But you coveted strength. Do you think I'm an idiot and will believe those pleasant words? If you cared about this world so much, why did you set up that spirit refining formation below to slaughter the people of this world?!" Li Yunmu sneered.

He didn't have any good impression of Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu.

Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu sighed again and indifferently said,"Don't be hasty, and let me finish talking. My destined immortal weapon was destroyed while subduing the ryukyu spirit pearl. Which do you think was more important for me among the two immortal weapons?"

When Li Yunmu didn't speak up to answer, he continued. "When I subdued the ryukyu spirit pearl, it would be a lie to say that I didn't covet it at all. But in order to obtain a new immortal weapon, I am not so stupid that I would destroy my destined immortal weapon."

Even if it was an even more formidable weapon, it couldn't compare to one's destined immortal weapon. Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu was among the frontrunners in terms of strength among all heavenly emperors, so he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to give away something better for something worse.

"At that time, all the sovereigns had perished together with Yin Devil Sovereign, and the emperor realm powerhouses were injured. My wounds were pretty light, so only I could subdue the yin sovereign pearl at that time, and it landed in my hands. I used my full strength to suppress it and prevent it from emitting the yin energy."

After Li Yunmu heard Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu's explanation, the hostility in his heart toward the man disappeared. Based on the historic records, Heavenly Emperor Ryukyu didn't use the ryukyu spirit pearl but a large sword.

After he obtained the ryukyu spirit pearl, the large sword disappeared. If the story was to be believed, it was destroyed when subduing the ryukyu spirit pearl.
