(Chapter 439 onward: Immortal Emperor breaks through apocalypse in a frozen world)
Li Mu cultivated for tens of thousands of years, finally becoming the number one Immortal Emperor in the Imm...
Mu Tianyuan was so frightened by the ghost-like shadow in front of him that he trembled all over and just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.
However, the remnant soul was not angry because of this, and laughed: "Haha, I am the Taoist Heavenly Venerable, and I came to this world because of you. However, bringing you to this world has exhausted my last bit of magic power. It is impossible for you to return to your world. Now there are only two paths in front of you. One is to accept my inheritance and achieve the supreme way. You may have a chance to return to your original world in the future. The other is to refuse the inheritance and be an ordinary person in this world, living a sloppy life for decades."
Upon hearing this, Mu Tianyuan said without hesitation: "I refuse. I refuse to accept the inheritance. Let me leave. I just want to be an ordinary person."
"Haha, very good, you are worthy of being my disciple!"
…………
Li Mu, who was observing the scene in front of him, felt cold all over. These were very similar to his experiences in the past. In the past, he also inherited the stone tablet through Daofa Tianzun, and the content on the stone tablet was "Chaos Sutra", a mental method that was different from any other cultivation system. It was precisely because of this mental method that he had walked step by step to where he is today.
What made him even more confused was that Mu Tianyuan's master was actually "Daofa Tianzun"! You have to know that Daoofa Tianzun was just an ordinary immortal emperor, and Mu Tianyuan was a figure from 130 trillion years ago. How could Daofa have this kind of relationship with Mu Tianyuan? How could an ordinary immortal emperor span more than 100 trillion years to become the master of Mu Tianyuan and himself?
Not to mention that Taofa Tianzun is just a remnant soul, even when he was in his prime, his lifespan was only a million years.
"Haha, Li Mu, are you surprised? Our enlightenment master is the same person." Tianyi said with a smile.
Li Mu closed his eyes upon hearing this and ignored Tian Yi. At this moment, he was in a complicated mood and had completely lost confidence in his life.
How could he accept that his life of more than 100 billion years was a scam from beginning to end?
Tianyi's mouth curled up slightly when he saw this, and he continued, "Are you curious about why you can't revive the Taoism?"
However, in response, Li Mu just laughed at himself and did not answer Tianyi.
Seeing that Li Mu's Dao heart was about to collapse, Tianyi shouted towards a certain place in the void: "Master, come out and meet your 'disciple'!"
Upon hearing this, Li Mu looked towards a corner in the dark void in shock, only to see that not far from him, a cultivator had arrived here at some point in time.
Because Li Mu's Taoism was disturbed before, and the cultivator was hiding behind a thick ball of dark energy, he did not notice it at the first time.
As Tianyi finished speaking, the cultivator slowly walked out from behind the thick layer of dark energy.
When Li Mu saw his face clearly, he was immediately shocked: "Hong Xi!"
The person who came was actually Hong Xi whom he had met in the Chaos Sea of Qiongzu Universe more than a thousand years ago! The downtrodden high-dimensional universe master who claimed to be Master Tianyi! The cultivator who claimed to have the power to ignite this coordinate!
"Haha, Li Mu, we meet again." Hong Xi smiled faintly.
"So, you are the Tao?" Li Mu said coldly.
"Haha~! You can understand it that way, Li Mu, my good disciple." Hong Xi laughed, and his face began to change visibly, and soon he became the face that Li Mu was familiar with.
When Li Mu heard this, his body suddenly stiffened and he began to retreat involuntarily.
At this moment, his spiritual heart completely collapsed.
All signs indicate that he is just Tianyi's puppet, and all his experiences are controlled by Tianyi. His life is just a replica of Tianyi, or Mu Tianyuan's life experience.
In this case, what is the meaning of his life? It's just a joke!
Seeing Li Mu's spiritual heart collapse, Tianyi and Hongxi looked at each other and smiled with a hint of success.
"Remember your promise!" Hongxi reminded.
"You're indispensable." Tianyi said with a smile.
After getting Tianyi's promise, Hongxi turned around and flew away.
Tianyi seized the opportunity and rushed towards Li Mu at lightning speed.
Two identical bodies collided with each other, causing a blinding white light to burst out, lighting up the entire sea of dark energy.
Through the dazzling white light, one could see that Tianyi and Li Mu's bodies were actually overlapping each other, and the two bodies officially began to merge into one.
At this moment, the facial expression of the body was extremely strange. Half of its face showed a greedy expression, while the other half looked calm and composed, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with it, and it allowed the greedy half of the face to erode it bit by bit.
And deep in their sea of consciousness, two towering trees formed by the power of laws were also engaged in a silent battle. These two giant trees represented Li Mu and Tian Yi's respective understanding and mastery of the world. Their branches and leaves were intertwined, and their roots penetrated into the endless darkness, as if they were fighting for some supreme power.
They constantly devour each other's power, trying to assimilate each other and make it a part of themselves.
Every time the two trees of law devoured and collided, the energy in the sea of consciousness became more and more chaotic, like a storm about to erupt.
The souls representing Li Mu and Tian Yi's respective wills were at the center of the storm, experiencing unprecedented shock and baptism.
At this time, the two souls continued to struggle in this chaos, and driven by instinct, they were trying to stay awake and take the initiative in this battle.
However, because Li Mu's Taoism had suffered an unprecedented shock before, his will to survive was obviously not very strong at this moment. With the continuous collision and fusion of the power of laws, his consciousness began to become blurred, as if he was being pulled by an invisible force, falling into an unknown endless dark abyss.
Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the light above, Li Mu's soul tried his best to escape from the darkness and return to the light, but he felt like a deflated ball. He had no way out and could only let his consciousness be gradually swallowed by the endless darkness. His consciousness became heavier and heavier.
"That's fine. Since my life has been a joke, let's just end it like this."
Li Mu's soul thought so, and then completely gave up resistance, allowing his soul to fall to the bottom of the endless darkness.
