Chapter 674: In front of you, Li Ming, I have no right to use the word "cheat"
A breath of life that had never been felt before came over me, filling every corner of the universe.
Even Li Ming felt his breath stagnate at this moment. Although he had switched to the combat system long ago and had extremely strong defense, his life level was still inferior to that of the opponent.
There was also a light in his eyes, but his gaze passed Adam and fell on the huge broken throne above the Mother Empire, which had not yet completely dissipated.
Even though it was covered with cracks and even had gaps in some places, according to the records in the Titan Chronicles, Li Ming recognized it at a glance. This was exactly the Eternal Holy Throne.
Adam was not dead, and Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, he can achieve his goal in one go and won't have to spend extra energy looking for it in the future.
However, he couldn't help but feel a little curious. After all, the other party was the ultimate evolved form in the orthodox genetic evolution route. He also wanted to know how strong he was and what power he had.
The shadow shrank like a whirlpool, and then, at a speed that was difficult for their naked eyes to observe, Adam appeared silently in front of Alvis.
The Holy Emperor's robe glowed with liquid star-like silver light, and the surface of the cloth was covered with overlapping dark golden dragon patterns. The scales of each dragon pattern were inlaid with tiny crystals, which actually resembled skin fragments, but were mixed with a lot of white fragments.
There was an eternally blazing flame dancing in his pupils, his shoulder armor was cast in the shape of a curled up nebula, and his waist belt was a relief of two Ouroboros devouring each other.
The hem of the robe was stained with a deep purple halo, dragging out afterimages of time and space. The seemingly thin fabric embodied the empire's highest technological achievements.
boom!
An even more intense and undisguised breath of life swept over from Adam. All living beings that felt this terrifying breath from the top of the food chain trembled in fear, their bodies instinctively in fear.
At the same time, the camera hidden in the dark also completely interrupted its signal due to the high-intensity life radiation.
The last information stream transmitted was the huge phantom emerging from the empire's mother planet.
"This, this is... Adam? Isn't he dead?!" A certain ruler of a certain civilization jumped up from his seat with his eyes wide open, and his staff were collectively speechless.
"I knew that the Holy Emperor would not die so easily." There were also loyal allies of the empire who were extremely excited.
In one of Mikhail's bases, Reynolds's virtual projection flickered continuously, his mechanical eyes flickering, and he angrily said, "This bastard, he's setting a trap!"
"Fuck, ultimate life form, how despicable!"
Although the live broadcast could not allow them to directly feel Adam's life breath, they could infer the unbelievable truth through some subtle reactions and even the current Qinglong.
Reynolds cursed repeatedly, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "No, hurry up and contact Qinglong to see if he has any other way to counterattack."
Mikhail was also having a hard time calming down, but he managed to remain calm and murmured softly: "Qinglong, you are still the old Taoist. It was really wise of you not to go."
…
In the Empire's temporary command center, Wald staggered back, his face pale. It was over, all over.
"How could this happen..." He couldn't believe it.
When the news of Adam's serious injury and the selection of a successor came out, neither the House of Commons nor the House of Lords believed it immediately.
Instead, it took a huge price to learn the specific process of modulating gene seeds from the Dominant Laboratory. Only after confirming that Adam could not become the ultimate life form did he feel half relieved.
The other half fell after attacking and killing many princes.
Unlike what he told Arthur, the coup to kill other princes and the empire's home planet was not carried out immediately.
But they were ten minutes earlier. If their attack had failed and they discovered that these princes had unknown protectors, they would have given up the action even at the last moment.
However, only after all the princes except the second prince and Abel died did they feel completely relieved.
"What a cruel Saint Emperor..." He gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling, "He even used his own son as bait."
In order to support Arthur, they mobilized countless resources, and these were probably exposed nakedly under Adam's nose.
After this incident, there will be an unprecedented purge. The power of the ultimate life form is enough to suppress all disobedience.
The one who suffered the most was undoubtedly Abel. He seemed to have turned into a sculpture, and even his eyes did not change at all. He was just fixed on the familiar yet unfamiliar shadow.
Then, as if he had been electrocuted, he twitched suddenly, his heart beat violently, and his mind became active again.
My father is not dead?
But then he realized that this was a big conspiracy, a conspiracy to lure all the enemies together and then kill them.
His father, the Holy Emperor of the Empire, counted everyone in it.
However, after coming to his senses, Abel felt only bitterness in his heart. He thought of the scene where he was almost killed and of his dead brothers.
Although my relationship with them is not that close, I still feel a sense of grief at this moment.
Adam, their father, had no regard for their lives.
In fact, until he was attacked and nearly all of his brothers were killed, he still held onto the possibility that Adam might still be alive.
Only then did he truly believe that Adam was dead.
However, now he was dealt a heavy blow. His father was still alive, but he just didn't take them seriously.
If not for this, he would not have sought Qinglong's help and would not have been able to turn back.
He was filled with resentment, anger, and resentment. A low mental fluctuation, mixed with roars, uttered a question from his soul: "Is it really... like this!?"
Adam's indifferent gaze fell on Abel, and he said calmly, "Sacrifice is necessary."
Abel's face changed. He wanted to refute, but he felt powerless. Many complex emotions intertwined, and in the end, he could only respond with a slightly childish response: "You, don't have a son anymore."
There was finally some ripple in Adam's eyes, but it quickly disappeared without any response.
Alves, who was standing behind him, felt his throat dry. Life is unpredictable, and this was the final result.
He already roughly understood what was going on. Although he still had many doubts, now was not the time to think about it too much.
His fingers trembled slightly, and a barely perceptible light flashed through his hands. Holmes, who was standing next to him, widened his eyes and trembled before he could react. He couldn't help but look at Alves.
But he reacted immediately, and the Void Anchor tightly held in his hand trembled. Highly compressed energy surged in the cracks, and the space around him trembled slightly. His body also became hazy, as if he would suddenly disappear in the next moment.
However, Adam, who was standing in front of him, just tilted his head slightly.
Snap——
Holmes's face changed in shock, and the void around him shattered in an instant. The void storm surged out, even trying to engulf the people around him. His scattered body instantly solidified.
"Holy Emperor, what do you mean?" Alvis couldn't help but ask.
"Don't be so anxious to leave," Adam said calmly. Without him making any movement, the shattered void quickly repaired itself. "You all came here specifically to aid the empire, and I haven't thanked you properly yet."
Alves's face turned ugly. He was really in a trap now. He couldn't take the Void Anchor with him, and even they couldn't say what the final outcome would be.
"We came here specifically to support the Empire. What do you mean now? We won't be allowed to leave?"
In the ruins of the Imperial Palace, the representative of the Federation roared and fiddled with the nearly broken smart terminal in his hand, trying to reconnect with Malcolm.
Of course he understood what leaving the Void Anchor behind meant.
"Arthur, what do you mean!" Finally, he looked at Arthur who was sitting there in a daze and asked repeatedly.
In his opinion, Arthur must also be a participant in this big game, luring the Federation and the Star Alliance into the game.
However, all he saw was Arthur's empty, dazed eyes.
"Please don't be anxious, sir..." An indifferent voice came from underground, and Prince Costat slowly flew up.
"Prince Costat?" The Federation representative's heart skipped a beat. Without a second thought, he demanded, "What exactly do you mean by blocking our path? Are you planning to take the Void Anchor with you?"
"Please ask the Holy Emperor yourself about this." Costat shook his head and looked at Arthur who was lying on the ground. The other party was also looking up at him. A glimmer of hope seemed to emerge in his dazed and empty eyes.
Costat sighed, a look of reluctance passed across his face, but he finally shook his head.
Seeing this, Arthur seemed to have lost all his strength. His body twitched, his hair was disheveled, and his face was ferocious, but he laughed unpleasantly: "Good Holy Emperor, good father..."
In fact, since he couldn't find any trace of Adam, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but there was no way back for him.
Costat turned his head away. The most realistic part of this game was actually the performance of these princes.
Adam practically just showed his injury, and everything happened naturally.
It is precisely in order to strive for the most authenticity and make everyone believe that Adam did not choose anyone to collude with him.
If there is even the slightest thing wrong, neither the House of Lords nor the House of Commons will take action, the Federation and the Star Alliance will not support, and Qinglong will not support Abel.
Only the most authentic can succeed, and the price is these princes.
"Those who achieve great things can even kill their closest relatives." Levenbeck followed slowly, looking at Arthur who was heartbroken, as if thinking of his past self, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Xingyu.
Teacher, are you satisfied with the gift I prepared for you?
………
Seeing Adam suppress Holmes, who was holding the Void Anchor, with just a look, everyone behind Li Ming felt as if they were pricked by needles and could not stand still.
Anatoly didn't dare to act rashly. He was extremely frightened. Adam was already the ultimate life form. How could he continue to play?
These guys who come here with such aggressive momentum will definitely be liquidated.
I don’t know how many people who had grudges against the empire were here. They were all caught in one net, and the empire really turned from bad to good.
He stared at Li Ming's back, and then he understood.
Qinglong's move of letting Li Ming come for him was truly amazing.
If Adam had not appeared, the mechanical body strengthened by the bones of the master would have been enough to suppress the situation and highlight the mystery of the Azure Dragon.
If this is a big game and Qinglong's real body doesn't come at all, then there will be no danger and there will be no loss either way.
Anatoly couldn't help complaining in his heart, "You've got us into this trap. If you were so cautious, why make such a fuss?"
"Li Ming..." Adam turned his gaze and really fell on Li Ming, with a sense of urgency, admiration, and curiosity...
"You and I, this is the first time we meet, I guess." Adam said calmly and comfortably, but then added, "Maybe it's the first time."
Adam's words were strange, but no one thought about it too deeply. They were all thinking about how to get out of this situation.
"I guess so," Li Ming responded, neither humble nor arrogant, even with a hint of casualness.
But no one felt anything was wrong. Anatoly felt even more bitter in his heart. Qinglong was too cunning.
Li Ming is just his student, neither important nor unimportant. There is a high probability that Adam will not kill him, so there will be no major loss in this operation.
Instead, he tested out Adam's specific strength. Next, he just needs to disappear and wait quietly for his ultimate gene evolution seed to be developed. Then he can make a comeback and be able to compete with him.
"It's unbelievable that you are such a young X-level life form. You seem to be only in your early thirties." Adam also admired that Li Ming's information state was very convergent.
No one else noticed it at first, but he was already an ultimate life form and could see the clues at a glance.
What?
When the many X-level life forms who were thinking about how to escape heard this, they couldn't help but look at the same time.
X-level life form?
Alvis was shocked and confused. Even though the first ultimate life form in the galaxy was right in front of him, Li Ming's terrifying development progress still made him feel terrified.
Anduin was horrified. Li Ming was already an X-level lifeform? This was too abnormal.
"Saint Emperor Liao, you are amazing. You have deceived the entire galaxy. You are the first ultimate evolved being and deserve to be recorded in the annals of interstellar history." Li Ming praised sincerely.
"Cheat?" Adam's expression changed slightly when he heard the word, and he shook his head. "Compared to you, this is nothing."
After saying this inexplicable sentence, Adam continued, "Why don't you let Qinglong communicate with me?"
Everyone who had recovered from their shock gradually realized that something was wrong.
Adam's attitude towards Li Ming was very strange. Since he appeared, he hardly spoke to anyone and it seemed that only Li Ming was in his eyes.
If it is said that he values the Azure Dragon behind him, then what he said is difficult to understand.
If he wants to communicate with Qinglong, does he need Li Ming to "give way"?
Li Ming's expression paused slightly. Qinglong's iconic armor covered him, but there was still no response.
Adam carefully looked at the mecha from top to bottom, with an expression on his face that no one could understand, a half-smile, filled with emotion, surprise, and passion. A gentle spiritual wave spread out.
"When he puts on the armor, he's Qinglong. When he takes it off, he's Li Ming. You've manipulated the entire galaxy like a whirlwind, and no one can even detect the clues."
"In front of you, I am not qualified to use the word 'cheat'."
