Mu Qing's body was pierced through, but he remained unhurried. At close range, he directly detonated every Emperor-grade divine artifact on his person.
Now, there was nothing left on him that he could use as an explosive.
At the same time, Mu Qing himself was engulfed by the energy from the divine artifact explosions. His body was utterly destroyed, and his soul was wounded.
Under the Death Ancient Tree's power, however, the injuries to Mu Qing's soul were not too severe.
His physical body immediately regenerated, returning to its unscathed state.
Only, Mu Qing's lips were pale. His soul had already been gravely injured and had not yet had time to recover.
His situation was dire, but with wolves before him and tigers behind him, he could only stake everything on a desperate gamble!
Mu Qing understood his own condition better than anyone.
All twelve Dao Laws being refined nine times was indeed formidable, but the imperial tribulation it would draw down was equally terrifying.
What was more, he had yet to complete the ninth refinement.
He would most likely perish beneath the lightning tribulation!
Of course, Mu Qing had his own plans. It was not as though he had no way of reaching the completion of the ninth refinement.
He might even be able to survive the lightning tribulation and, in one breath, reach the completion of the tenth refinement!
After surviving the lightning tribulation at the ninth refinement, there were two choices.
One was to continue refining the Dao Laws, then undergo the lightning tribulation once more after completing the tenth refinement and become an Emperor completely.
The second was to become an Emperor directly.
Becoming an Emperor after nine refinements would certainly not compare to becoming one after completing ten refinements.
But it would not be bad
