Chapter 1377: My Turn to Take the Stage (I)
The world shuddered intensely. The queen’s actions were outside the realm of everyone’s expectations. The Moon God was dead, the heavenly will had been shattered, the queen was thoroughly free of everyone’s control, and even Li Hao had been part of her scheme to win her freedom.
The Red Moon exalted emperor had lost a replica without gaining anything in return, whereas the queen hadn’t suffered any loss to her strength.
She was almost late Empyrean King before and had more or less reached that cultivation level after fully devouring the Moon God. Her strength hadn’t drastically improved, but she was in a much different state.
Previously, her strength had belonged to someone else and could be stripped from her at any time. Everything was different now. She’d replaced the primary body with herself, a replica!
This threw Li Hao’s plans into disarray. His thoughts had been that if Hongxiu really was the Moon God’s replica, then using the river of time to kill the past and future would also result in a replica replacing the primary body.
The queen had stolen a march on him!
She’d reaped a massive harvest from the events of the day and made a clean escape. All eyes were once more on Li Hao.
There was no helping it—Li Hao was raising much more of a fuss than the queen. The crux was that even though the latter was in control of her own destiny now, she wasn’t a threat to either the half step emperors or exalted emperor. One could only say that when a rough fish jumped out of the pond, it was acceptable to ignore them all the same.
Li Hao, however, could not be set aside.
The young man had gained a bit thus far as well—not terribly much. Whether it was the heavenly will or the Red Moon exalted emperor’s replica, he’d given most of their ensuing energy to Hong Yitang in the form of the river of chaos.
Li Hao had only taken a small portion of it. He’d focused on combining more stars throughout the fight. The disturbance was growing so immense that he could no longer hide it. When the queen fought the Moon God, that’d concealed his movements to a certain degree. But with the queen gone, it was difficult to keep his actions a secret.
