Chapter 1688

Now, the damaged foundation within Di Luomi's body has also recovered almost completely.

And his realm has also advanced to the fifth tier of Martial Disciple.

Di Luomi slowly ceased his cultivation, opening his eyes.

Whoosh!!!

Di Luomi suddenly leaped up, his entire body radiating sharp sword intent.

This sharp sword intent shot straight toward the sky, as if it were about to pierce the firmament.

Di Luomi's eyes condensed terrible, brilliant light, his gaze sweeping across the entire mountain forest.

"So this is a Martial Master?"

Di Luomi murmured these words to himself.

"Congratulations, Prince Di Luomi, on breaking through to Martial Master and stepping into a higher realm!!!"

At this moment, the space before Di Luomi twisted, and a man dressed in magnificent robes appeared there.

"Three years have passed, Di Luomi. No one knew whether you were truly dead or not. Now that your revenge has been taken, we should leave!"

The speaker was none other than the Undead-type Archmage responsible for assassinating Di Luomi, Hearing Ming Ying.

When Di Luomi was pierced by ten thousand arrows, certain to die,

Hearing Ming Ying led a group of Undead-type Archmages away from Beizhou.

But they did not go far; instead, they lay in ambush nearby.

When Di Luomi Su Xing, Hearing Ming Ying appeared by Di Luomi's side immediately.

Hearing Ming Ying watched as Di Luomi pulled a small boat from his robes.

This was a Void Boat, which was the teleportation array Di Luomi spoke of.

"Let us leave this place!"

Di Luomi's slender body leaped onto the Void Boat, and Hearing Ming Ying followed shortly after.

Moments later, the Void Boat vanished from its original spot.

And this mountain forest underwent some changes.

That terrifying sword intent from before had actually made the qi of this mountain forest even more dense.

Not only that, but the elemental forces of heaven and earth within this mountain forest had also become even more dense.

One could say that Di Luomi's single sword strike had drawn out the essence, energy, and spirit of this entire mountain forest.

With such terrifying sword intent, if Di Luomi drew his sword and struck an enemy, that enemy would certainly die!

"Di Luomi, now that you have broken through to Martial Master, your foundation is damaged. Therefore, you must solidify your foundation and repair your hidden injuries!"

Hearing Ming Ying floated before the Void Boat, guiding the way for Di Luomi.

Di Luomi said nothing, his face bearing an expression of deep thought.

After breaking through to Martial Master, Di Luomi finally understood that this realm was far more powerful than he had imagined.

Although his foundation is damaged, it can be slowly nurtured through Spirit Stones and pills.

But in this lifetime, there may be no hope of breaking through again!

This was the first time Di Luomi had experienced the powerlessness and weakness of a cultivator.

The stronger a person is, the deeper their reserves.

Just like Seeing Xiao Yifeng; his reserves are incredibly deep, and breaking through to the Wu Di realm is a trivial matter.

But for Di Luomi to break through to the Wu Di realm is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

Not only that, but he might never be able to break through again!

"Hehe, Prince Hearing Ming Ying's reserves are not bad either; you should have touched the threshold of Wu Wang, right?"

Di Luomi's eyes flashed with terrible light, her slender body leaning slightly forward as she spoke.

"Hehe."

Hearing Ming Ying chuckled lightly, then continued:

"Di Luomi, you need not belittle yourself. Although the Prince's reserves are not as great as those of the younger generation of some top powers, they are still not weak when compared. Moreover, has the Prince's sword embryo been perfectly restored?"

Not only that, but the Prince's sword embryo is even more perfect and better suited than before.

One could say the Prince's sword technique attainment has reached a new height.

"In these years, I have investigated all of Prince Di Luomi's life events.

Although the Prince's origins and background remain a mystery, one thing is certain.

Prince Di Luomi is absolutely extraordinary!

Moreover, the Prince's sword embryo is the only one in the entire empire that possesses a 'Spirit'.

Combined with the Prince's physique, it is truly a sight unseen in a thousand ages!"

Hearing Ming Ying spoke in a deep voice.

"I already know all this."

Di Luomi said calmly.

Although Hearing Ming Ying did not say it explicitly, Di Luomi had already guessed what Hearing Ming Ying was about to say.

It was nothing more than asking her to cooperate with him to assassinate Seeing Xiao Yifeng together.

"Prince Di Luomi, I have something important to tell you next!"

Hearing Ming Ying said with a solemn gaze.

"Speak!"

Di Luomi cut off any further delay and said directly.

"Actually, my true identity is the Young Master of Jibei Palace! The reason I was able to lie in ambush in Beizhou to assassinate Prince Di Luomi is because Jibei Palace and the Xuesha Sect are cooperating, wanting to crush Wushuang City with a pincer attack from north and south!"

Ming Ying said with a solemn gaze.

"Why?"

Di Luomi said expressionlessly.

Although Di Luomi had long guessed this, he was still somewhat shocked when Ming Ying said it with his own mouth.

"It is very simple, because the Lord of Wushuang City possesses Saint-level talent!"

Ming Ying said.

"Wait! What did you say? Saint-level talent? How do you know?"

Di Luomi said, his eyes gazing at Ming Ying.

"Before I attempted to assassinate Prince Di Luomi, I once saw records regarding Saint-level talent in the ancient books of Jibei Palace. According to the records, the body of a person with Saint-level talent will produce a powerful suction force, continuously drawing the primordial force of heaven and earth into the body. And a person with Saint-level talent, after their cultivation reaches the Martial Emperor level, can become a Saint through their physical body, possessing an incomparable physical form. Therefore, Saint-level talent is also what Jibei Palace has been seeking all along."

Ming Ying said slowly.

"Then what is the plan you just mentioned?"

Di Luomi said after taking a deep breath.

"Jibei Palace has already received news that Seeing Xiao Yifeng also possesses Saint-level talent, though he is currently still at the Martial Disciple level. If Your Highness is willing to lend me a hand, I am willing to lead Jibei Palace to withdraw from the cooperation with Xuesha Sect, and withdraw troops from the north and south. I will assist you in assassinating Seeing Xiao Yifeng, and I guarantee to lend Your Highness all three thousand top-tier mages of Jibei Palace and the Tribulation Transcendence realm experts. The time is limited to three months; at that time, regardless of whether Your Highness succeeds or fails, you must withdraw!"

Ming Ying said solemnly.

"How do you determine that Seeing Xiao Yifeng possesses Saint-level talent?"

Di Luomi asked, his eyes flashing with terrible light.

"Jibei Palace has a mage who stayed in Wushuang City for a period of time, and inside the Lord's Mansion, he once felt several terrifying primordial force fluctuations a few times. And judging from the primordial force fluctuations, this person absolutely possesses Saint-level talent!"

Ming Ying said slowly.

"Good! I agree to you!"

Di Luomi said directly without thinking.

Nowadays, among all the younger generation in the entire empire, only he and Seeing Xiao Yifeng possess the Martial Emperor level.

But the other party possesses Saint-level talent, and in the future will surely become an existence of the Wu Di level!

Plus Jibei Palace, that must also be killed!

"Good! Then let us prepare and set out!"

Hearing that Di Luomi had agreed, a trace of joy appeared on Ming Ying's face.

"We will take the water route, departing from Hei River, heading straight south all the way to Wushuang City."

While speaking, Ming Ying took a map out of the Void Boat, pointed to the location of Hei River on the map, and continued to say,

"Hei River, this giant river running through the north and south, is the most important transportation hub within the empire, and also the key to our operation this time."

Di Luomi frowned slightly, looking at Ming Ying, and asked somewhat confusedly,

"Why take the water route? Does Hei River also have people from your Jibei Palace?"
