"What this mural records is roughly about the collapse of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the subsequent return of nine immortals from the celestial realm. They restored the heavens and earth. According to the records of the Heaven Derivation Sect, these nine people were later revered as the Nine Heavens. Are you familiar with the Nine Heavens?"

Tian Miao looked at the two of them with an inscrutable expression.

"I've heard of it."

Ying Bing nodded expressionlessly.

"You've actually heard of it?"

A look of surprise flashed across Tian Miao's eyes.

"A little bit."

Ice Block, once the strongest being in the Nine Heavens, nodded slightly.

Li Mo glanced at her, wondering if the 'Phoenix Heavenly Empress' in Ice Block's destiny was one of the Nine Heavens.

Without enough information, he couldn't guess, so he asked Tian Miao again:

"Does 'Nine Heavens' refer to the legacy of those nine powerful saviors?"

"Perhaps at first, but the world turns, and time is merciless. Even immortals like them will be consumed by time and disappear. Therefore, they will select the most outstanding and dazzling experts from all the sects and schools of the world to pass on their lineage."

"Those who successfully inherit the Nine Heavens are invariably the strongest among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"But although they are powerful, they remain outside the mortal world, only appearing when there is a major upheaval in the world."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo couldn't help but think of a particular adjective.

An invisible guardian?

"That was true at first, but what happened later?"

"Later, perhaps due to internal problems within the Nine Heavens, or perhaps due to an accident, the lineage was interrupted, and the Nine Heavens gradually evolved into a synonym for the nine most powerful individuals in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

Tian Miao sighed with emotion.

"Who are the nine people who are now in the Nine Heavens?" Li Mo asked curiously.

"I don't know," Tian Miao replied quite decisively.

"The Heaven Derivation Sect is not omniscient or omnipotent. There are at least three kinds of destinies that we cannot predict or see clearly."

"The first type is the extraordinary and saintly powerhouses, some of whom are at the Seventh Realm Profound Mastery Realm. Their understanding of the Great Dao is relatively deep, and their destiny begins to become blurred, not to mention those at the eighth realm of the Heaven-Reaching Realm."

"The second type is those who possess divine objects that can conceal their destiny."

"The third type is an existence that should not belong to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

Tian Miao finished speaking, she stared intently at Li Mo.

Ying Bing frowned slightly, her jade-like face gradually turning cold.

"Yes, I did receive a legacy of extremely great origin."

Li Mo nodded.

"?" Tian Miao narrowed her eyes, about to ask another question.

But Li Mo, who had been nonchalant, suddenly became serious and said in a deep voice:

"The jade pendant is getting hot!"

Then he added, "This time it's for real!"

Tian Miao was stunned. Could the jade pendant she made be fake?

A soft sound came from behind, and a dark figure gradually became clear in the soft light of the Clam Pearl.

There were three figures, their bodies shimmering with a metallic sheen, their clothes tattered. It was barely possible to tell that they had once been members of the Demon Summoning Cult, and of considerable status, likely High Priests or similar figures.

Now, however, his face is terrifying, and all that remains in his eyes is a longing for life.

Moreover, a shadow lingered around it, thick as black water, vaguely distorting space, making people feel dizzy and Will Soul just by looking at it.

"Field?!"

These two words appeared in the minds of all three people simultaneously.

Laugh--

Li Mo immediately unleashed the Extreme Weapon Slaughter Body, and the Great Sage Divine Intent and the Taiyin Divine Intent appeared behind him, instantly entering battle mode.

The light enveloped his body, dispelling the drowsiness in his mind.

Ugh--

The moment consciousness returned, the pitch-black claws were already upon me.

Bite!!

The Crimson Firmament Sword moved even faster than forty, piercing through the air and striking the opponent's palm.

However, this demon was clearly very powerful in its previous life, otherwise it would have long since turned to dust. Moreover, its body had been baptized by spiritual energy for thousands of years, making its physical strength even greater than in its previous life.

The Crimson Firmament Sword drew a series of sparks across it, but only left white marks.

But as everyone knows, what is Little Li's nickname?

He struck first only because his Swordsmanship was light and fast, giving him a fleeting moment.

Forty slipped silently into my palm.

The surrounding space suddenly froze.

On the Star Pestle, the force of rolling wind and thunder surged and vanished. The Great Sage Divine Intent opened his eyes, his golden gaze piercing through the shadows, from which faint cries of agony could be heard.

Painful faces seemed to float out from the shadows.

Li Mo raised his Star Pestle and went against the current along the path that had been illuminated.

"Roar!"

The hammer shadow magnified in the demon's eyes, and fear could be heard in its roar.

Thump--

A solid, decisive blow.

Ba stood at attention.

How can one describe his experience of waking up after being in a deep sleep for several years?

He got up, took him down in one hit, what's there to say?

"This demon is a bit strange."

Li Mo stared at the other person's flattened body, his face grave.

It's a pity that the demon can no longer hear, otherwise it might have been startled awake from its deathbed and said, "Not only can I use my domain, but my physical body is also stronger than that of an ordinary Inner Scene cultivator. I'll kill you with one blow."

Who the hell is acting strangely?

It's actually understandable. Although Li Mo is only at the sixth level of the Divine Observation, he uses a Transcendent Supreme Lore, possesses two Extreme Forms of the Great Dao, has a physical body comparable to Calamity Beast, and has seven Profound Pill within his body. Who among ordinary people possesses such strong Will Soul, techniques, and physical strength...?

To put it simply...

The title "Divine Hammer Little Overlord" is well-deserved.

"Even though he's already dead, he can still activate something that resembles a field."

The Ice Block that finished the battle first looked thoughtful.

That field... is somewhat similar to the Black Year Beast's, but weaker...

That's the Dream Domain.

Tian Miao also ended her battle. The demon she faced was now covered in mantras, and its aura had returned to nothingness.

"Dream Domain... then wouldn't this be something like Dream Ba?"

This was the first time Li Mo had ever heard of a zombie with such an unusual name.

So those random things Elder Qian gave me, like the Black Donkey Hoof, were probably useless.

"There was once a branch of the Demon Summoning Cult called Cloud Dream. They could walk through the dreams of others and grow stronger while they slept. When they reached the External Scene Realms, they could even make the things in their dreams come true."

"But then, this branch suddenly disappeared, and I never expected to see it here."

"The identity of the tomb's occupant..."

Tian Miao looked towards the far left of the mural.

The figure on the far left of the nine people.
