If one wanted to make another breakthrough after reaching the Martial Emperor realm, strength, fortuitous encounters, and comprehension ability were all indispensable.
This was also the reason why there were so few mid-level Martial Emperors and above in the mainland.
Xuanyuan Wudi was a prime example. He couldn't go any further after reaching the Martial Emperor realm.
But Li Mo was lucky. Not only did he get Xian Yangzi's legacy, but his luck was also heaven-defying.
He had all sorts of treasures!
Any random item he took out could cause a huge uproar.
Li Mo's perception on the path of cultivation was unmatched, or he wouldn't have reached such a level of power at such a young age.
Li Mo was all smiles as he meditated.
…
"Lil 'Mo, today is your wedding day. Why aren't you up yet?
Hurry up and get up!
If you don't get up, I'll take the bride away! "
A voice Li Mo was all too familiar with woke him up!
Opening his eyes, Li Mo was dumbstruck. He was in the Liu clan's courtyard.
And the speaker was none other than Liu Ming!
"What am I doing here?"
Li Mo looked around at the familiar illusion and felt the Xuanyuan Mirror on his chest emit a white light.
"Kid, did you sleep too much?
Hurry up, there are already a lot of guests outside waiting for you to go and perform the ceremony! "
Liu Ming turned around and left the room.
"Wedding?"
Li Mo stood up in doubt and left the room.
Sure enough, it was bustling outside. Red silk hung everywhere, and the word 'joy' was plastered on every door.
"Lil 'Mo, you stinking brat!
Today is your and Yan 'er's wedding day and you're up so late!
Hurry up and greet the guests! "
Li Mo turned and saw the dead Liu clan's third elder, Liu Shiquan!
He stood in the courtyard, waving for Li Mo to come over while chatting with a few people with their backs to Li Mo.
"Oh!"
Li Mo's heart was full of doubt and fear, but his feet wouldn't listen to him as he walked over to Liu Shiquan.
"Come, let me introduce you!"
Liu Shiquan pulled Li Mo to his side. But when Li Mo saw the faces of the guests, he was even more shocked!
Liu Ze, Iron Abacus, Chen Kun and Chen Peng … all those who died by Li Mo's hand were here.
"Ah!
This … this is an illusion, this is all fake! "
Li Mo roared and they turned to nothing.
There was only a woman wearing a bright red wedding dress and a veil standing in front of him.
"Li Mo, do you not want to marry me?"
"You … you are Liu Yan?"
Li Mo stared blankly at his bride.
Liu Yanshi was Li Mo's biggest weakness in this world.
Li Mo's heart was firm. He knew this woman was just like the others, a fantasy. But he didn't have the heart to shatter this beautiful picture.
How he wished he could remove Liu Yan's veil with his own hands!
"Li Mo, come!
Haven't you always wanted to marry me?
Why don't you come and take off my veil? "
Liu Yan's voice came again. Li Mo actually listened to her and walked before her.
He whispered into her ear through the red veil.
"I hate it when people lie to me, especially when they pretend to be the woman I love the most to lie to me!
You can know my past, but you will never know what I will do next! "
Puff!
Li Mo's Dragonscale Scarlet Sword pierced the woman's body.
"Y-you killed the woman you loved the most!
You … "
The woman staggered back and the red veil slid to the ground.
But his face kept changing. They were all people who died at Li Mo's hands!
"Humph!
Just an inner demon and you think you can stop me, Li Mo, from reaching the peak?
You overconfident fool, get out of my way! "
With a deafening roar, the scenery around him disappeared.
"Huff!"
Li Mo took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
"I broke through!
I am now a mid Martial Emperor! "
Li Mo's excitement couldn't be described in words as he felt the power in his body.
But recalling the illusion brought by the inner demon, Li Mo's heart skipped a beat.
He took out the Xuanyuan Mirror from his bosom and gently stroked it.
"It's all thanks to you. If not for you, I would've been lost in the illusion!"
Li Mo's easy victory over his inner demon was all thanks to the Xuanyuan Mirror.
The Xuanyuan Mirror was the bane of all evil things, and the inner demon was no exception.
But what Li Mo couldn't figure out was why he would encounter the inner demon at such a time.
Xuanyuan Wudi never told him this would happen when he broke through to the mid Martial Emperor realm.
Li Mo couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it.
"Forget it, I'll just ask grandpa."
No matter what, Li Mo broke through to the ultimate Martial Emperor realm.
His heart was full of joy!
He turned around and walked over to Little Red, who was still cultivating.
Seeing it showing no signs of waking up, he didn't bother it.
Instead, he took out the qilin core!
"Right now, my body has completely recovered. Furthermore, my cultivation base has also risen to the level of a mid-level Martial Emperor.
It shouldn't be a problem for me to refine you now, right? "
Li Mo was going to refine the qilin core first, but he didn't dare to because of his injuries.
Now that he was healed, his power increased.
He was once again eyeing the core!
Li Mo sucked in a deep breath, thirsting for power, and swallowed it without hesitation.
Who would've thought the core would melt in his mouth like a normal pill. The tyrannical power it contained was on par with the dragon saliva.
Fortunately, Li Mo ate the dragon saliva first and was more or less prepared for the heart-wrenching pain.
He steadied his mind and endured the pain.
Li Mo began refining the tyrannical power bit by bit!
…
Time went by for who knew how long.
Li Mo seemed to have gotten used to the pain!
The malevolent expression on his face was gone, replaced by a tranquil one.
Li Mo's neidan's energy was now converted into spiritual qi. The rich spiritual qi not only filled his dantian, but also his muscles and tendons were filled to the brim.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, Li Mo's spiritual qi vanished.
At this moment, he was like an ordinary mortal that couldn't be any more ordinary.
But upon closer inspection, Li Mo's organs, meridians, and muscles were covered in a faint golden light.
Li Mo slowly opened his eyes and a golden light flashed.
"Why is this happening?"
Li Mo felt his body brimming with terrifying power, yet he couldn't find any spiritual qi in him!
If Bai Yichen were next to Li Mo, he too would be shocked by Li Mo's current state.
