The road is vague

Chapter 481 The Assault of the God Transformation
This time, Li Mo traveled in the opposite direction from the Seven Kingdoms to the Wasteland, traversing the Death Storm.

Along the way, he constantly transformed into flashes of lightning, and used the Shadow Mask to resist the dangerous order in the storm of death. Finally, two months later, he successfully arrived at the foot of Qingqiu Mountain.

"It's still there...that's great."

Li Mo looked at the herds of fire sheep in the distant Fire Sheep Valley and the still-standing Fire Sun City. Ignoring the surging magic power within his body, he quickly approached.

Lightning burst forth in all directions.

Li Mo's speed was simply too fast, and his undisguised Nascent Soul cultivator's spiritual pressure immediately alerted the city's guards, and the Thousand-Faced King, responsible for protecting Yan Yang City, flew out one after another.

"City Lord?"

After their eyes met, the Thousand-Faced King showed a look of astonishment.

It should be noted that Li Mo had only left Yanyang City for a short time to support the independence of the Seven Kingdoms, and he had returned so quickly.

The tense Flame Sheep Knights on the city wall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Summon the city's elders immediately! I have an important announcement to make!"

Seeing Li Mo's solemn expression, the Thousand-Faced King, though unaware of the matter, dared not delay and immediately nodded in agreement to leave. Li Mo, meanwhile, went to the City Lord's Mansion, feeling anxious and regretful.

"Young master! What happened?"

Upon hearing the news, Qianqian immediately went to the city lord's mansion and nestled beside Li Mo, asking pitifully.

Li Mo sighed softly and patted Qianqian's fair and delicate hand to comfort her.

"Something big is definitely going to happen, so you need to be prepared to cut your losses and survive."

Half an hour later.

When Elder Xuanwei of the Silver Fox Clan arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Li Mo was taken aback. According to the intelligence, shouldn't this person have inherited the wisdom and experience of the Spirit Fox Ancestor and be cultivating deep within Silver Fox City?
"Lord, has something important happened that has summoned us to this emergency meeting?"

The Thousand-Faced King, Princess Dai, the array master Golden Turtle Master, the mechanical master Liao Qunan, the weapon-refining master Zhao Ping'an, the pacification commissioner Jin Shanzhao, and the five elders of the Flame Rabbit Clan, including Qianqian, all looked at Li Mo, who looked somewhat uneasy.

Li Mo didn't know when Master Huitian would return, but he was certain it wouldn't be long.

"The seven kingdoms have officially united to establish the Great An Empire. The Lu Kingdom's army has embarked on a distant expedition, and the war has reached a stalemate. I have received accurate intelligence that a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Lu Kingdom will spare no expense to launch a surprise attack on Yan Yang City in order to completely cut off the Great An Empire's reinforcements."

Li Mo's words instantly caused a huge uproar, and everyone present was shocked upon hearing the news!
When will he arrive?

The one who asked the question was Youlan.

She inherited the wisdom and experience of the Spirit Fox Ancestor, and knew the terrifying power of Nascent Soul cultivators, as well as the limitations that exist at this level.

"at any time."

Li Mo's words made everyone's faces grow even uglier, especially the members of the Flame Rabbit tribe, whose faces were so dark they were almost dripping with water. A young elder immediately declared that he would live and die with Flame Sun City, but was stopped by the older elder.

Everyone turned to look at Li Mo, awaiting his opinion.

"Our opponent is a Nascent Soul cultivator. Ordinary methods are meaningless in front of him. There is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices. Let's get the remaining forces of the Flame Rabbit tribe out of the city as soon as possible. As long as we live, we can rebuild later. We need to hurry."

"City Lord!"

"City Lord..."

Several people couldn't help but speak up, but Li Mo stopped them.

His face was somewhat gloomy.

"But it's impossible to just give up on this city like this. I plan to make full use of the city's protective array to deal with it and try to inflict some damage and hinder it, before leaving the city by relying on the teleportation array..."

After Li Mo revealed his reckless plan, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Next.

The Flame Rabbit tribe acted swiftly and began to evacuate from the city in an orderly manner. Although this surprised many of the alien races in the city, it did not cause a major disturbance for the time being.

Li Mo and Jin Shan Zhao arrived at the teleportation pavilion together.

The two Nascent Soul elders responsible for guarding the teleportation array glanced indifferently at Li Mo.

"Two masters."

After bowing, Li Mo said solemnly, "Yanyang City is probably in trouble."

Upon hearing this, the two remained calm, as if they had expected it. One of the gaunt old men responded.

"It is our mission as guardians to build the teleportation array. We will not leave until the very last moment."

Li Mo knew that these two were most likely from the Six Doors, and that they had been summoned here to guard the area, so this answer was within his expectations.

in this way.

He briefly explained his plan, but the two of them didn't listen attentively until Li Mo finished speaking, at which point they nodded.

The other person responded.

"Since the city lord is confident that he can injure this person, that would be best. We will definitely cooperate with him in full."

After receiving their replies, Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief, thanked them, and turned to leave. He quickly went to the city lord's mansion to set up the Misty Spirit Eye Array. At the same time, the city protection array had also begun to activate its power at all costs, as instructed by Li Mo. The colorful light shield of the city protection array became clearer and more dazzling.

After everything was arranged, Li Mo stood in the center of the formation, his face showing helplessness, and gritted his teeth.

"If you want to destroy Yanyang City, you must pay a price!"

Despite saying that, he had already witnessed the terrifying power of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Facing this Returning Heaven True Man, he was not very confident that he could seriously injure him. The only people in the city who could help him were the Thousand-Faced King, Princess Dai, and the two guardians of the teleportation array.

Their strength is still too weak.

If there were a dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators in the city, they could hold out with the power of the city-protecting formation and might have a chance to protect the city.

After a brief sigh, Li Mo opened the "Dark Thunder Heavenly Book".

"My dear, noble, and great master, it seems we have arrived at Yanyang City. I wonder how I can help you?"

Li Mo took out a nautical chart.

"Your abilities are not suited for the battles here. I have an important task for you to complete. First, cross the Forbidden Sea through the Golden Lion Clan's Sun Palace and return to the Thousand Treasures Islands. Then, find this wild island on the sea chart. There is a secret room on it. Go inside and repair the teleportation array. Then, use this teleportation array to return to the Southern Barbarian Lands and contact me. I will be of great use to you in the future."

"Yes!"

Despite the perilous nature of the mission, An Lei did not hesitate at all. After receiving the sea chart, his body quickly faded, and he left the city lord's mansion.

With his abilities, he has at least a 70% chance of successfully completing the mission.

of course.

Even in the worst-case scenario, the only loss would be the physical body of Ying Shi. The "Dark Thunder Heavenly Book" would still exist, and for the Great Qian Kingdom, the Road Guiding Division would have completely defeated Touqi and would be annexed entirely.

After a series of tense arrangements, the city lord's mansion quickly quieted down.

Li Mo amplified his divine sense and could vaguely sense the chaos beginning to emerge in the city. After all, the continuous departure of so many Flame Rabbit Knights was enough to alert some people, but the Flame Rabbit tribe showed no intention of explaining.

"Son!"

Qianqian actually turned back and returned to the city lord's mansion.

"Why are you back again!"

Li Mo frowned and urged, "Leave here quickly, that person could come at any moment, and then it will be too late."

With tears streaming down her face, Qianqian took out a storage bag.

"This is a gift that the elders of the Flame Rabbit tribe decided to give you after discussion. It was a treasure that we were given when we followed the Tiger Clan. It is impossible to use it now, but it may still be useful to you."

Say it.

She walked away quickly without looking back.

After opening the storage bag, Li Mo looked at a small golden seal.

"This is... the tiger tally?"

In the past, the Tiger Clan established the lineage of the King of Beasts and fought for supremacy in the Wasteland, causing great disasters. Now, a thousand years have passed, and the Tiger Clan has been wiped out, but some legends have been passed down.

Legend has it that the ethereal tiger clan possesses twelve tiger tallies.

These so-called tiger tallies are as powerful as human secret tallies and can be continuously recharged with the power of the heavens, making them one of the most rare treasures of the world. Later, some people said that the so-called tiger tallies were the currency for communication between powerful creatures from different worlds, which were occasionally obtained by tiger clan spirit transformation experts.

After pondering for a moment, Li Mo put the tiger tally away.

Although the Mountain and Sea Realm has become a dangerous place that everyone in the surrounding world avoids, and there is little interaction between them, Li Mo still has some understanding of ancient matters given his current status.

For true powerhouses, the currency between different worlds, besides the most basic various crystal spirit stones, also includes divine order.

This can be understood as a fundamental rule of the world: non-renewable, finite resources.

The tiger tally is also a form of divine order!
However, unlike others, this divine order seems to reflect an incredibly powerful will. Once the seals on these tiger tokens are broken and the twelve tokens are unified, it will most likely summon something extremely terrifying, something that low-level cultivators simply cannot absorb. It was precisely for this reason that the tiger clan's genius Spirit Transformation expert chose to weaponize it.

at this time.

Li Mo's divine sense faintly detected a spatial fluctuation, indicating that the Golden Turtle Master, Liao Qunan, Zhao Ping'an, and others had already left Yanyang City.

"City Lord."

The Thousand-Faced King and Princess Dai re-entered the main hall.

"Everything is ready."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work. I have already set up measures here that are enough to threaten a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if I can't kill him, I can at least cause him considerable trouble. I will ensure your safety during the critical period."

Upon hearing this, the Thousand-Faced King and Princess Dai exchanged a glance.

Before coming to the Central Plains, although they knew that the human race was powerful, they mostly guessed at the number of strong individuals. Now, after so many years on the Central Plains, they have clearly realized that the strength of the human race is an advantage in the entire cultivation system.

The three of them then sat cross-legged and recuperated inside the city lord's mansion.

At this moment, Li Mo felt an unusual tranquility. He had a feeling that after this matter, he would need to go into seclusion for a while, and he would surely gain something from it.

Both the Shadow Mask and the Dual Chaos Thunder seem to be on the verge of a breakthrough.

Taking advantage of the moment when his soul was in a mysterious and indescribable state, Li Mo wholeheartedly began to comprehend the evil order within the ethereal box. He intended to use it to integrate into the multi-dimensional chaotic thunder path and elevate it to the three-element chaotic thunder path!

I do not know how long it has been.

Sudden.

Li Mo opened his eyes.

"coming."

Almost immediately after he spoke, a terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly appeared above Yan Yang City.

In an instant, all the residents of the hundred races in Yanyang City were stunned, staring blankly at the sky.

The Thousand-Faced King and Princess Dai in the City Lord's Mansion also opened their eyes.

Click, click, click.

The earth shook violently, and cracks appeared on the ceiling of the main hall of the city lord's mansion. Then, the three of them rushed out of the city lord's mansion and flew into the sky, looking at the figure outside the city's protective formation.

The person was shrouded in a cloak of shadow, making it impossible to see their figure, but even if he could see them, Li Mo wouldn't believe his eyes.

He didn't waste any words and directly summoned dozens of expressionless humanoid puppets, which stretched out their eyes and fired beams of spiritual light at the city's protective array.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Amidst the deafening explosions from the city's protective array, the city's residents finally snapped out of their daze, screaming in terror as they tried to flee the city, but it was too late.

Without the protection of the great formation, any low-level ethereal races that rush out of the city gates will be indiscriminately crushed by this terrifying spiritual pressure.

However, despite enduring such a dense barrage of spiritual light, almost comparable to a siege fleet's volley, Yan Yang City failed to breach the city's protective formation, prompting the newcomer to let out a soft exclamation.

But what followed was a soft chuckle, as if someone had taken an interest.

A golden wooden scepter appeared, inlaid with a mysterious purple gem. The magic weapon depicted a sky full of purple snowflakes falling from the sky, while the city-protecting formation summoned two dragons playing with a pearl. The central pearl continued to emit endless light and heat, dispelling most of the snowflakes, but many still slipped through the net and fell.

A pig-headed man fleeing in terror in the city was momentarily stunned after being touched by a purple snowflake.

He felt a slight shiver run through him.

But he quickly continued running forward as if nothing had happened.

As he ran, he realized something was wrong. He felt an unbearable itch all over his body, as if thousands of tiny insects were crawling inside him.

He raised his arm to examine it and discovered that his skin was covered with tiny mushrooms that were oozing pus, rapidly festering and spreading.

"what……"

He screamed and noticed a dog-headed man covered in brightly colored mushrooms who seemed to have gone mad, howling and screaming on the ground.

"Help me, help me..."

His upper body was being completely devoured by that strange and vicious mushroom.

At this time.

As a strange spiritual thread descended from the sky, the kobold, whose body was covered in mushrooms and nearly rotting, suddenly jolted and stood up straight. Ignoring the pig-headed man in front of him who was also infected, he charged towards the several dumbfounded ratmen.

Just for a moment.

These rat-men were all corrupted, strange mycelium grew on their bodies, and their eyes became dull.

Almost instantly, the entire city of Yanyang was transformed into a living hell.

Li Mo unleashed the Flowing Gold and Fire Sword, joining forces with the Thousand-Faced King and Princess Dai to resist the fungal contamination of the order. However, compared to the enemy's attack range that instantly covered the entire city, it was merely a drop in the ocean.

"As a Nascent Soul cultivator of the human race, how dare you indiscriminately slaughter innocent people among the myriad races of this place? Aren't you afraid of provoking retaliation from the Spirit Transformation experts of the myriad races?"

Li Mo's voice drew the attention of the figure beneath the shadowy cloak.

"You are the city lord of this place. The city's protective formation is quite good."

He first gave a compliment, then sneered.

"Not to mention that the old fox on Qingqiu Mountain has already passed away, even if she hadn't, what would she dare to say? She actually dared to get involved in the war in Lu State, she really overestimated herself!"

The other party didn't seem to take the city's protective formation seriously at all.

Through his eyes, Li Mo saw countless spiritual threads emerge from the golden wooden scepter and land in Yan Yang City. Immediately afterward, the ethereal races in the city, corrupted by mycelium, became incredibly bizarre and brutal, like evil ghosts and demons, and pounced on him.

Upon seeing this, the Thousand-Faced King and Queen Dai shot out feathers, which transformed into phantoms of thousands of troops and horses, and began to fight against these corrupted, ethereal races.

Li Mo then unleashed an even stronger spiritual order, annihilating these strange wood spirit mycelium orders.

"The spiritual order of the Primordial School has actually been condensed to this level by your magic weapon, hmph."

As the figure chuckled, the puppet's beams of spiritual light continued to emanate.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned a heaven-reaching power without any hesitation.

All of a sudden.

Li Mo felt that everything seemed to slow down. He faintly heard the cracking sound of the world not functioning properly. Then, all he could see was a finger pointing gently at him.

boom!
The large array of light above Li Mo's head seemed to have been forcefully punctured by something.

After Li Mo reacted, his figure disappeared quickly, and then a shockwave surged from the ground with a "boom," completely leveling several nearby blocks, as if the earth had been plowed over.

"His order is too sublime."

Holding the array plate, Li Mo looked at the pierced array and gasped.

"The great formation was forcibly penetrated, making it impossible to provide complete protection."

Fortunately, at this moment, the two elders responsible for guarding the teleportation pavilion intervened.

One of them held a compass, a magical artifact, and gently manipulated it. The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches nearby changed rapidly, filling the gap in the city's protective formation.

Another person gently waved a small glass tree, causing the ethereal puppets of the Hundred Races infected by the mycelium to fall into hibernation, which relieved the Thousand-Faced King and Princess Dai who were constantly dealing with the situation.

Crack!

Seeing this, Li Mo promptly launched a dualistic chaotic thunder counterattack.

The dualistic chaotic lightning containing a trace of the power of heaven and earth caused the figure under the shadow cloak to pause slightly, but only for a moment. Then he summoned a jade disc.

The jade disc spun rapidly, generating an indescribable order that absorbed Li Mo's dualistic chaotic lightning, materializing it into a lightning ball that floated on the jade disc, unable to escape.

Li Mo's face looked a little ugly.

Because the opponent possessed a higher level of power, their magical artifacts all had incredible suppressive power.

"Oh?"

Master Huitian carefully observed the lightning ball, and finally a look of solemnity appeared on his face.

"With your cultivation level, you have actually begun to borrow the power of heaven and earth. It seems that this trip was not in vain. There was an unexpected gain. Otherwise, a few hundred years later, the Qian Kingdom might have given birth to another Nascent Soul cultivator."

Li Mo remained calm.

He had already made up his mind that if the other party dared to break into the great formation, he would let them experience his many preparations. With the Heaven-Reaching Divine Talisman and the two Immortal-Slaying Pearls in his hand, he could ensure a safe retreat.

If the opponent plays it safe and methodical, he will use the teleportation array to escape in time.
