Come In and Hit Me?

"Heh heh, asking that—are you thinking of a way to escape with your life?"

"Child, with my Heart-Devouring Insect inside you, you needn't overthink things for the rest of your life."

Blood Yi Ghost King said.

Though he did not answer directly, the answer was obvious.

Only Li Tianming could enter the Thousand-Star Barrier. Otherwise, the barrier would self-destruct, and the supreme tribulation source would disappear.

Ever since the supreme tribulation source appeared, all nine divine realms had been watching this place. The Nine Palaces Ghost Sect could not monopolize it so easily, which was why they had set up the Number One Under Heaven Assembly.

The Thousand-Star Barrier had been proposed by the Ancient Theocracy. The Ancient Theocracy likely had never imagined that this Thousand-Star Barrier would cause the Nine Palaces Ghost Sect such immense trouble.

"If only I can enter it..."

Li Tianming relaxed considerably.

"You can choose to refuse. I'll first let you taste the power of the Heart-Devouring Insect for one day. After that day, if you've learned to behave, close the Thousand-Star Barrier, and I can shorten your remaining nine days of 'bliss' to one day. But that way, you'll have enjoyed an extra day for nothing. Young man, trust this elder's warning. After one day, you'll regret being human," Blood Yi Ghost King said.

Li Tianming took a deep breath.

"I'll go in," he said.

"So straightforward?" Blood Yi Ghost King froze for a moment. He had thought this tough little fellow would refuse to shed tears until he saw the coffin.

"I simply believe that your cruelty will definitely exceed my imagination," Li Tianming said.

"Not bad. You see things clearly. I underestimated you," Blood Yi Ghost King said.

"Mm."

Under the gaze of countless people, Li Tianming walked toward the Thousand-Star Barrier
