Chapter 1217: The Silver Moon Conspiracy (III)
The Moon God’s primary dao star must be in the dao universe... Perhaps that god of prophecy stayed behind to monitor her. His primary dao star has never appeared either...
Li Hao’s mind rapidly recalibrated in light of the revelation that the Moon God was human.
“These guys that were left behind are all dead,” said Li Daozong. “We could’ve killed more of those running if we’d brought our full strength to bear, or captured them at the very least. Why did we let them go?”
The Ninth Division leader didn’t understand. Ying Hongyue was Li Hao’s greatest enemy, but the young man hadn’t pursued the man to the bitter end. He’d also let the queen go, killing only their followers.
Four had made it out. Why had Li Hao shown mercy?
Li Hao turned back to the division leader and suddenly asked, “What kind of person is Li Daoheng?”

“Someone with a lot of potential!” replied the startled man after a long moment. “He’s been better than me ever since we were children. I came to Battle Heaven because I wanted to get away from him!
“He beats me in everything,” Li Daozong sighed. “He bears the most potential in our family out of my generation! Even the Sword Sovereign summoned him for an audience once. His potential is very, very high—I think it rivals Zheng Yu!
“I feel a lot of pressure when I’m with him, so I left Sword City when I reached the Apex level and came to Battle Heaven. Here, I found my confidence and sense of self!”
“So you mean that he is very likely to be an Empyrean King...”
“Not very likely, but almost certainly!” nodded Li Daozong. “If Zheng Yu could do it, then there is no reason that Li Daoheng didn’t ascend to Empyrean King. He had sufficient energy and wasn’t asleep all these years!”
Something occurred to Li Hao—the one who’d left the lingering sword intent at the Tranquil Star ruins didn’t fully command an Empyrean King’s strength. Could it have been... a replica?
