Chapter 411: Getting Control of the Island
Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem
After Li Yunmu introduced himself again, both Zheng Quan or Luo Honghua were left completely dumbstruck. Compared to him suddenly attacking and killing Zhang Yuan and the others, his identity as a descender from another plane was far more shocking to the two of them.
They had never expected that a person viewed as a native by them would show up to be the same as them. Only Wang Yan who had prepared herself mentally wasn’t as shocked. She only looked at Li Yunmu with a complex expression.
All of a sudden, Zheng Quan seemed to have lost his spirit and mumbled in a daze, “Finished, we are completely finished.”
Descenders from all planes were all clear on the fact that they were each other’s mortal enemies because of heavenly transformation. In the end, only one of the sixty-six planes would continue to exist.
Since they were mortal enemies as well as competitors from their planes, it was clear that one of them had to die.
“Impossible, impossible, how can the descenders from your plane be so formidable?”
Although Zheng Quan’s heart had already been crushed, Luo Honghua was still unable to accept what had happened. However, it wasn’t so surprising.
Originally, Li Yunmu hadn’t been so formidable after descending. His strength had perhaps been a little higher than that of Zheng Quan, but only by a little.
In comparison, Zheng Quan’s group was actually way higher in battle capability than Li Yunmu’s side. Demon being beaten almost to death by someone from his group clearly illustrated that point.
The blame thus lay in Li Yunmu’s recent increase in strength which defied common sense.
The Refining Pagoda and the system had obtained him his first profit in the Origin World. Afterwards, as the defects in his flux points were corrected and he obtained a large amount of extreme grade power grain, both his physical strength and flux energy skyrocketed.
It could be said that the current Li Yunmu was around three times more formidable compared to when he had descended to the Origin World. With that, it wasn’t a wonder that Luo Honghua was unable to accept his power. Even if she quickly increased her strength after coming to the Origin World, she still would have remained unable to see the shadow of Li Yunmu who possessed the heaven-defying cheat.
Li Yunmu was suddenly distracted for a moment, then a smile made its way up his face. He changed his mind and said, “Nothing is impossible. For the sake of Wang Yan, I won’t kill you too. Both of you shall live out your remaining years on this island.”
When he exposed himself, he had been prepared to kill everyone present except Wang Yan. But at that moment, because of one thing, his thoughts changed.
“Hahaha, Li Yunmu you don’t say. You exaggerate your strength greatly. Even if we all were killed by you, you still wouldn’t be able to escape. The ghost silk pollen isn’t infinite. One day, you will use it all up, and that day will be the day you die,” Luo Honghua yelled with madness in her eyes.
How could she still not guess the reason behind Li Yunmu’s survival? Once she saw the ghost silk pollen sprinkled on his body, she understood everything straight away.
She suddenly turned toward Wang Yan and maliciously spit at her, “Bitch, you sold out our world, you f*cking whore….”
But before she could finish, Li Yunmu kicked her away.
“I’m sorry for being distracted. Something unexpected happened. From this instant, the island will be under my control,” Li Yunmu said with a smile, and his gaze turned toward the boundary stele.
Seeing the sudden change in his mood, everyone couldn’t help but look over in the direction he was looking. Until that moment, they had been fine, but once they did look, they were left in shock.
“What’s going on there? Wasn’t the shadow already swallowed by that toad?” Zheng Quan involuntarily cried out.
Li Yunmu had to accept that the scheming of Zheng Quan was really smart. Previously, he had acted as if he was completely in despair, which focused Li Yunmu’s attention on Luo Honghua while in reality he didn’t believe that he had lost everything.
Because he still had his trump cards. Li Yunmu might be very powerful, but as long as he could seize the control of the island, he could still make his comeback.
However, when he saw that at some point in time Li Yun had surprisingly reached the boundary stele and its light had completely enveloped his body, approving him as the successor, Zheng Quan felt real despair. He all hope of staging a comeback.
Just as Li Yunmu had said, after that unknown life-form obtained the approval of the island and became its successor, then there was no need to speak of Zheng Quan with his tricks, even if there were another hundred of him with their hundred trump cards, they still wouldn’t have any hope to succeed.
Li Yunmu continued smiling, not replying to his question.
In fact, he himself didn’t know how Li Yun had managed to change the situation at the crucial minute. He had also believed that everything had been ruined at the last step. Otherwise, why would he have become so enraged and went berserk on these people.
Yet the outcomes of some matters in the world were wonderful like this. Li Yun had dodged the final attack of the toad and successfully obtained control of the island.
Although there were some glitches in the proceedings and the person who had obtained the approval wasn’t Li Yunmu himself, the end result was still great. Li Yun controlling the island was the same as Li Yunmu controlling the island himself.
As expected, when the light from the boundary stele which had enveloped Li Yun’s body faded, the hostility from the surrounding insect monsters toward Li Yunmu completely disappeared.
After that, Li Yunmu took the initiative and began to walk toward boundary stele. When he went past the thousand defender toads, the evolved monsters didn’t show any malice or intent to attack.
Seeing this, Zheng Quan and Luo Honghua’s bodies went soft, as if this outcome had sucked all the strength out of their bodies.
The other members of the group, on the other hand, became completely relaxed. Although they didn’t know the origins of these descenders, they understood that once the island was under Li Yunmu’s control, they probably wouldn’t die.
It might not be great news for them, but given their present situation, they had nowhere else to go.
After all, the path which connected the island to the outside world had collapsed long ago. At that time, they had lost all hope of returning to the Origin World and didn’t have much expectations for surviving the insect monsters. But once Li Yunmu became the successor, their life was guaranteed, and a good death was always inferior to being alive. If one was alive, they could still find a chance to change their destiny.
When Li Yunmu reached the boundary stele, Li Yun transferred everything that had happened when he obtained the island’s successorship to Li Yunmu’s consciousness sea.
