Chapter 507: Xiang Yu Is My Little Sister

Wang Mang's expression changed.

"This man is very formidable. He actually broke Your Servant's thoughts." Wang Mang exhaled, feeling a headache. These thought projections were a portion of her power. Once broken, she would suffer injury as well.

"Even My Emperor was unable to withstand him?" Fotu Cheng was astonished.

"Hmph, if not for the injuries caused by the Five Elements Great Generals, Your Servant could have crushed him to death with one hand." Wang Mang disdainfully said.

"But what do we do about that man?" As matters stood, now was not the time to reminisce past military glories. Fotu Cheng herself was also injured, and according to the situation, they absolutely could not stop that man if he reached the mausoleum.

"Do not be afraid, Your Servant already has prepared thorough countermeasures." Wang Mang stared at the mausoleum's gate. She had spent a hundred years to finally forge the Nine Prefectures Divine Crimson Copper into this gate. She had imbued it with an array and had integrated it into the Congealed Dream Mountain Range. Unless one possessed overwhelming strength, the average person would be very hard-pressed to force the gate open.

Fotu Cheng felt relieved when she heard this.

Right now, the fifth star of the Ling Guang Seven Stars glowed. Just a little more, and they could rouse the Vermilion Bird's soul.

Wang Mang sneered. After she devoured the soul, she would wipe away her previous disgrace and make this man realize and regret his life.

An enormous noise. The mausoleum jolted under an earthquake.

The gate let out a thundering explosion, the deafening boom about to rupture the eardrums.

"What? Could it be this man wants to force the gate open?" Wang Mang grit her teeth. For the first time, she felt fear. "Impossible, could it be he is at the peak of Xuannü Realm."

She scarcely finished speaking when the Nine Prefectures Crimson Copper Gate was thrown open.

The heavy door firmly smashed into the wall, gouging out a deep hole.

Wang Mang and Fotu Cheng gawked.

"Why is a man like you so barbaric."

"My hand is about to break, how about you do it next time."

"This King is not so crude."

A man and a girl's voice conversed from beyond the threshold. Wang Mang's expression was simply ugly to the extreme. The Crimson Copper Divine Gate she had wasted a century to forge was unexpectedly forced open by a man using brute strength.

Chen Mo spotted the woman with the unsightly expression standing on the terrace. Five of the stars on the sculpture of the Vermilion Bird's soul were illuminated; he would still need to hurry.

"Just who are you." Wang Mang's teeth were about to grind to bits. When did such a powerful man appear in Star World. Zhu Xiaoxiang, ranked second of the Xuannü Seven Stars, was nicknamed the strongest man, but the man in front of her truly dwarfed him in comparison, like a kaiju against Ultraman.

Even her Purple Rose "Phoenix Thoughts" were unable to resist him, to say nothing of the fact that Zhu Xiaoxiang fundamentally could not possibly face the the war god-like Divine Phoenix Realm Divine Monk Of Astromancy.

"Your Servant is Chen Mo, a Star Warrior. On orders of the Xuannü of the Nine Heavens, Your Servant has specifically come to ask that the Vermilion Bird be returned to the Heavens." Chen Mo cupped his fist, showing particular friendliness.

Xiang YU rolled her eyes. This man truly was glib.

He could even pull out the Xuannü of the Nine Heavens.

Xuannü of the Nine Heavens…Hm? Xiang Yu creased her brow. She suddenly recalled the divine power of Chen Mo's punch, and her expression became serious.

"Chen Mo? Chen Mo?" Wang Mang racked her brains but could not ever recall hearing this name.

"On orders of the Xuannü of the Nine Heavens. How arrogant you are, as if the Xuannü of the Nine Heavens would seek out a man. Do you take me, Wang Mang, to be a fool?" Wang Mang sneered.

"So you are Wang Mang." Chen Mo gasped. Then who was that person that wanted to kill Xiang Yu yesterday.

"Your Servant is indeed here at behest of the Xuannü of the Nine Heavens. If you do not believe me, you may ask Fotu Cheng." Chen Mo faintly smiled.

Fotu Cheng's expression paled. The Earth Rank arrow in her chest was still aching even now.

"My Emperor, you must be careful, this man's body contains the spirits of the Three Symbols!"

"What, the spirits of the Three Symbols?" Wang Mang was stupefied.

One of Star World's Symbols could preside over a direction, achieving a supreme feat. That this man's body surprisingly had three of the symbols, this, this, this…Wang Mang was unable to put into words the shock in her heart. Her expression became increasingly envious. 

She wanted nothing more than to flay Chen Mo alive.

"Only when the Four Symbols' spirits are together can they be considered complete. Your Servant asks that Your Distinguished Self Wang Mang return the soul of the Vermilion Bird." Chen Mo spoke calmly. He also noticed that Wang Mang was heavily injured and not currently a match for him.

After he obtained the sage aspiration from the Realm of Spring Snow Seeping into the Land, Chen Mo was increasingly composed. Even against a first-rate Star Marquis, he could remain unflappable. His heart was calm as water. This indifference was perhaps not achievable even by the best of Star Generals.

When Wang Mang heard the man's words, her complexion was pale as a sheet of paper. She was actually being looked down on by a man.

"Chen Mo, you're truly chatty. Just kill this Star Marquis already." Xiang Yu was impatient. After they killed Wang Mang, she could bide her time to steal the Vermilion Bird's soul.

"How can I, the Heavenly Phoenix Earthly Emperor, be looked down upon by you nameless wretches." To be suppressed by a man and be insulted by a feeble girl, Wang Mang was infuriated.

The atmosphere was on the verge of breaking.

All of a sudden, an ice-cold voice echoed throughout the mausoleum.

"The grand Star Name that once struck fear in even the Purple Rose Star Emperor actually makes use of a man. This is truly disappointing."

Chen Mo turned his head back. Heavenly King Of Wudao Ran Youli walked out. A glint flickered in the woman's eyes.

"Ran Min!!" Wang Mang's expression was even more pale.

"Ran Min? You're the Heavenly King Of Wudao." Chen Mo looked at this woman clad in black muslin, whose vermilion eyes were filled with emotionless solitude.

Upon seeing Ran Min appear, the girl's eyes released cold light and morphed into triple pupils. She strode forth, rushing for the altar on the terrace. Her speed was explosively fast, filled with a tyrannical power that could flatten anything. The heavy spear in her hand was completely incongruous with her body, but that heavy and giant spear seemed as light as a feather as she wielded it with practiced proficiency.

Earth Rank: Broken Cauldron Violent Swells!

The feeble girl instantly became an entirely different person. The Triple Pupils were like the gaze of supreme gods and demons looking disdainfully at the human world. Under her spear, the entire mausoleum's floor began to churn.

The power that Xiang Yu condensed over a long time was explosively released. She was aware that the moment Ran Min appeared, her identity would be exposed. Then, this reliable man would inevitably scheme against her. No matter what, she needed to seize the Vermilion Bird's soul. Even the slightest bit of recovery would work.

Just a little bit was sufficient to warp Heaven and Earth.

That was the level of power she wielded as the Hegemon King Of Western Chu!

The severely injured Fotu Cheng hastily used the Star Image Treasure Wheel in an attempt to obstruct her, but the girl knocked it away with a punch. The powerful force of her punch thundered over Fotu Cheng's body. The Divine Monk Of Astromancy was too late to use her Heaven Rank and screamed as the might of the Broken Cauldron Violent Swells covered her. Even her Divine Phoenix Star Energy was unable to withstand it. A tyrannical energy easily disintegrated it, sending the Divine Monk Of Astromancy flying painfully away, leaving her at death's door.

After the first blow landed, the second followed in quick succession.

A callous glint flickered in Ran Min's eyes. Her legs moved, and she brushed past Chen Mo. The God Tears and Ghost Tears hooked and thrust, already attacking Xiang Yu.

She had used Heaven Rank power collected over centuries to finally deliver a crushing blow to Xiang Yu. How could she give her the chance to recover. The Heavenly King Of Wudao did not utter a single word as she attacked with a sharp spearpoint.

Wang Mang was also ready. With swift movements, her Star Weapon "Phoenix Advent"¹ was an ornament on her head, shaped with patterns like that of Heaven and Earth. At the center was a phoenix, whose mouth was inlaid with a glowing red jewel.

Space immediately manifested several vermilion birds through her thought alone.

The birds were like swords, forming a rainbow.

Xiang Yu broke Wang Mang's technique with her spear. The Broken Cauldron Violent Swells did not stop once it started. Her desperate attack had no room to circle back around. If this Earth Rank failed, then her birth would fail at the last moment.

Wang Mang's forehead spurted blood, yet he Heavenly Phoenix Earthly Emperor nevertheless remained imposing and calm. Asif sensing the girl's identity, the woman's eyes were fixed on her. Phoenix Advent glittered with eight stars. It fired eight light beams, forming a peacock tail barrier that closed off the altar.

"Die!!"

Xiang Yu roared. The Heavenly Dragon City Destroyer Halberd swept forth, shattering Phoenix Advent's defenses.

Wang Mang's expression changed, for she felt enormous pressure.

At the critical moment, Ran Min had already arrived, similarly striking with an Earth Rank. God Tears and Ghost Tears caught the Hegemon King's halberd. The Heavenly King Of Wudao's figure moved, and tens of thousands of spear-lights pelted Xiang YU's body like a torrential downpour.

The girl's rush was broken. In the end, she was unable to muster strength and stubbornly endured the violent pounding of the ten thousand spear-lights, like an immovable boulder.

"Done struggling?" Ran Min calmly said: "Why not die gloriously and heroically, perhaps it will leave your name with even greater praises."

"Praises?" Xiang Yu disdainfully said: "If This King wanted praises sung, why bother being born! Things like praise are left for the dead, so better leave them for you."

Xiang Yu rushed with her halberd, and the mausoleum rumbled.

The sixth Ling Guang Star Stone was already glowing.

"Only those who can bow and submit or those who can stand tall are heroes!" Ran Min slightly nodded, showing a bit more respect for the girl in front of her. But her maneuvers were merciless. Her double-edged pike and halberd were like gods and ghosts grandly seizing human heroic spirits.

A baleful aura blossomed on Xiang Yu's white clothes.

The girl grit her teeth and persisted, but the power of the tyrant was broken before she could raise it.

Although the two Star Marquis Wang Mang and Ran Min were heavily injured, they could not be underestimated if they worked together, so much so that they were unexcelled. Three people exchanged blows, swift as a fleeting steed, all in an instant.

Chen Mo saw that the Ling Guang's seventh star was already gradually manifesting. Once the seventh Star Stone appeared, the who could obtain the seven could obtain the Vermilion Bird's soul. Looking at the wretched girl being suppressed, Chen Mo shook his head.

"Die!!"

Ran Min's halberd caught Xiang Yu's spear and disarmed her of it. The double-edged pike immediately thrust to end Xiang Yu's life here.

All of a sudden, Ran Min sensed a chilling killing intent behind her. She did not doubt at all that even if she killed Xiang Yu, she would also suffer a Starfall. The Heavenly King Of Wudao had no choice but to withdraw her attack and use her double-edged pike to unleash a gale.

Chen Mo used the Carefree True Qi to draw out Ran Min's attack. Then, his staff repelled Wang Mang's energy.

"You!!"

Just as she was about to achieve a feat for the ages, she was nonetheless stopped by someone else. Ran Min's expression filled with anger.

"If you want to kill my little sister, then you'll have to step over this big brother's body first." Chen Mo brandished the staff.

"Do you realize who this girl is? She is the Hegemon King Of Western Chu, Xiang Yu, the one who contested the Purple Rose Star Emperor and who defeated the Ancestral Dragon!" Ran Min kept her voice as low as possible, making herself appear not very impatient.

But her gaze was becoming increasingly solemn.

"I know." Chen Mo shrugged, downplaying his response.

"You know she is Xiang Yu?"

Wang Mang and Ran Min were dumbstruck. Even the girl herself was incomparably startled.

"I don't care if she's Xiang Yu or not, but as of this moment, she's my little sister." Chen Mo looked at Xiang Yu and showed a grin that cherished her.
