Outside Orin Town, Li Mu placed his blade on his leg, manipulating the boiling psychic energy to circulate along the muscular and skeletal pathways of the Dragon and Tiger Astral Specter.
He wanted his body to become familiar with the circulation route of the Dragon and Tiger Astral Specter, allowing the psychic energy to flow more rapidly.
With blades in close quarters, the slightest difference could determine life or death.
In the Exiled Realm, he had practiced the Dragon Spectral Bone Sublimation Method to the point where his entire skeleton was covered in cloud patterns, even the most difficult-to-train skull filled with intricate cloud markings.
Li Mu initially thought it would take at least three to four months, as the practice of the Dragon Spectral Bone Sublimation Method became increasingly difficult later on.
However, under the constant supervision and adjustments by Lia within the Tower of Spectral Energy, he managed to complete the training in just two months.
Especially when it came to skull training, without Lia’s monitoring, it would be all too easy to damage the fragile brain during the practice.
Now, his entire skeleton seemed to be cast from high-strength psychic metal, unbreakable and incredibly resilient.
With the completion of the Dragon Spectral Bone Sublimation Method, his dragon-shaped astral energy made rapid progress, leaving the tiger-shaped spectral energy trailing behind.
Lia suggested that he could try to deduce a technique for training muscle fascia by referencing the Shock Calamity and Dragon Spectral Bone Sublimation Method. However, the Electrokinesis, as a star-level holy relic, couldn’t replace the function of Shock Calamity, requiring at least a moon-level holy relic.
This determination led Li Mu to attempt upgrading the holy relic Electrokinesis first.
The sound of wingbeats echoed from the sky as Fei Lian descended first, eagerly lowering its head to nudge Li Mu. It was famished.
Two black cranes landed far behind it, appearing as vague black dots.
Li Mu fed Fei Lian a jar of Sun Spring water before taking out a cleaned wild mountain goat and tossing it into the air.
Fei Lian immediately took to the sky, seizing the mountain goat and tearing it apart.
The two black cranes disdainfully glanced at Fei Lian before elegantly landing on the ground.
Li Mei and the other person dismounted from the black cranes, stretching their somewhat sore bodies.
Although the black cranes tried their best to fly more smoothly, they still felt exhausted from the bumpy ride.
Li Mu shared the information he had extracted from Pilate.
“The Holy Son and the Source Ocean? I didn’t expect the Soul Cult to still be so relentless.”
Li Mei’s adorable eyebrows wrinkled. As an Eastern Xia native, she was naturally well-versed in the exploits of Yue Zhen, the former commander of the Intervention Army.
Back then, nuclear warheads had not yet been detonated across the globe. The Intervention Army and the Xindu Federation’s domestic forces fought against the combined armies of the descenders and the Soul Cult in Avonigarda.
At that time, seven Sun Kings from the descenders had been successively slain, severely weakening the descenders’ strength, and their battlefront was retreating from the Deccan Plateau to the Avonigarda Swamp.
The Soul Lord, Dalopitda, chose to descend partially into the Soul Cult’s pre-prepared vessel to reverse their decline.
Even with a small portion of the Olden Day Ruler’s body, the Holy Son was nearly invincible.
Awakened individuals below the fourth energy level would either go mad or die from soul collapse if he laid eyes on them.
The first time he descended on the battlefield, the Army forces suffered heavy losses.
If it weren’t for a second-level awakened individual who desperately dragged him away from the battlefield, an entire division would have been wiped out.
Afterward, the Holy Son descended on the frontline several times, causing massive losses to the human Army forces, even leading some Xindu troops to disintegrate completely.
Relying on multiple psychic awakened individuals to locate the Holy Son, Yue Zhen directly boarded a modified short-range ballistic missile drop pod and launched a surprise attack from 300 kilometers away.
The battle lasted for ten days, and it almost permanently altered the battlefield’s landscape.
The arrogant Dalopitda realized that he was no match for the human before him, and he was killed before he could even escape the vessel.
The World-Ending Dragon swallowed the Holy Son’s corpse and fled into the Source Ocean.
Yue Zhen pursued him into the Source Ocean and severely injured the World-Ending Dragon. However, he had to return to the wasteland due to disturbing too many monsters in the deepest depths of the Source Ocean.
In this battle, he also suffered nearly irreparable injuries, but he completely shattered the descenders’ morale.
She paused for a moment.
“The Soul Cult is probably waiting for the rainy season. Back in those days, the boundary between the Source Ocean and the wasteland was extremely thin on the battlefield, making it much easier to open a passage there.
The Mohanendi River has changed course and shrunk significantly over a hundred years, so to make the river return to its original course, it can only be done during the rainy season.
Most importantly, during the rainy season, the descenders can become active on a large scale due to the reduced radiation concentration. At that time, human activity will be completely confined within large settlements and cities.”
According to more detailed records from Eastern Xia, Li Mei deduced the Soul Cult’s plan almost immediately.
Based on Yue Zhen’s recollection, the World-Ending Dragon should have been critically wounded, on the brink of death, and unable to escape the hunting of the deep-diver beings and monsters.
Even the Divine Land swallowed by the Dragon had been shattered into several pieces.
He had even managed to snatch a piece of the Divine Land and return to the wasteland.
Therefore, the Eastern Xia side had never considered the Divine Land that had sunk into the Source Ocean.
“So that’s why the Soul Cult values the dam within their jurisdiction so much; they’ve already started storing water upstream.”
The battlefield of that year was located in the Orissa jurisdiction, and everything was coming together.
“This matter has exceeded our limits; I need to return to Eastern Xia and inform the authorities!”
Li Mei said with a very grave expression.
That piece of Divine Land contained many weapons and equipment that had interfered with the allied forces at the time. If it hadn’t been for that, Commander Yue Zhen wouldn’t have risked venturing into the Source Ocean.
Li Mu was startled; he hadn’t expected Li Mei to reveal her identity in front of Shen Luoyan.
“Shen Luoyan can be trusted.”
Li Mei placed one hand on Shen Luoyan’s face, stopping her from lunging at her.
Li Mu crossed his arms, observing them. Something must have happened between the two when he was not around.
“Alright, you go back to Eastern Xia on a black crane first, and I’ll go to Avonigarda with Little Shen. I said I would eliminate Rajaral.”
Li Mei couldn’t quite understand Li Mu’s obsession with Rajaral.
“Before the rainy season arrives, we need to weaken the strength of the Soul Cult and the Avonigarda affiliated forces as much as possible. After the rainy season, it will be too late. During the struggle for the Divine Land, they will all be enemies of Eastern Xia.”
Li Mu said after rubbing Li Mei’s head with one hand.
“Rajaral is the perfect reason to provoke them into fighting each other.”
