Shadow Hack

Panda Novel

Li Yunmu’s heart was filled with raging waves. If even an emperor realm expert had been unable to control the sword, there could only be one explanation, and it was that the sword was unexpectedly a sovereign weapon!

Li Yunmu continued reading then.

‘This sword is known as the Solitary Ignition Sword, and it contains a demonic spirit. If the sealed demonic spirit comes out, heaven and earth will be thrown into complete chaos.

‘If anyone of the future generations come here, you mustn’t harbor any evil thoughts in your heart. Otherwise, your soul will be dominated by the demonic spirit and the world will definitely suffer a calamity. Don’t forget that!’

Li Yunmu looked at the writing on the stone tablet, finally understanding why four ocean monarch stones were used to suppress the sword. If a sovereign level demonic weapon was released, no one in the world would be an opponent for it.

But Li Yunmu was extremely interested in the sword. Not only it, but also the ocean monarch stones. And even the iron chains were not normal. After a careful examination, he realized that they were created from meteoric iron.

“System, could I control this sword?”

Li Yunmu calmed his thoughts. Regardless of how many experience points and space elements were required, or even if all of them were used up, as long as he could obtain those things, everything would be worth it.

[You cannot! You only possess the strength of Great Principal Golden Immortal, and yet you want to control a sovereign weapon?] the system coldly asked, pouring cold water over Li Yunmu’s imagination.

When he heard the system’s reply, he couldn’t help but feel despair. But since he couldn’t control it, then he didn’t intend to come in contact with it. Even if he didn’t care about others, he didn’t desire to release a sovereign weapon which couldn’t be controlled.

[But if you agree to invest a sufficient amount of experience points and space elements, then it can be considered!]

The system’s voice resounded again, sending Li Yunmu’s mood, which had touched the depths of abyss, directly to heaven.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier!” Li Yunmu hatefully said to the system.

[What, you have some problem? Bite me!]

The system sneered at him. It had actually done it for the good of him.

Li Yunmu had become somewhat arrogant, even thinking about controlling a sovereign weapon. It wasn’t a good idea, so it chose to pour some cold water over him to make him wake up and remind him that the disparity between realms couldn’t be overcome so easily.

Li Yunmu also understood that the system had done it for his good, so he didn’t say anything about it. After examining the sword again and again, he extended his hand toward the hilt, but a voice interrupted him.

“Stay your hand!”

Li Yunmu turned in the direction of the voice and saw that a large door had opened at some point in time. A person was standing in the doorway, and it was the first holy son of the Ryukyu Small World, Xiao Rong.

Xiao Rong’s ego could be considered to have swelled infinitely. After he entered the Yin Imperial Palace, he didn’t fall into a trap like Li Yunmu, and his path had been completely smooth.

He was able to collect many things inside the Yin Imperial Palace, like cultivation methods, elixirs, and materials. All of them went into his pockets. While moving forward, he also came across many young talents, whom he coerced into dual cultivation with him and turned them into his slaves.

After that, he reached the stone room in which Li Yunmu was present. Because Li Yunmu had luckily stumbled into the stone room through the spatial crack created by space-time spirit, the restriction in front of the stone room had disappeared.

Otherwise, given Xiao Rong’s strength, his body would have immediately self-detonated once he came in contact with the stone door. In that sense, Xiao Rong was much luckier than Li Yunmu.

After arriving at the stone room, Xiao Rong saw the enormous sword stuck in the ground as well as the ocean monarch stones surrounding it. Although he didn’t know what they were, one didn’t even need to think about the things in Yin Imperial Palace, since all of them were precious treasures.

“Everything here belongs to me! You can get lost!”

Xiao Rong looked at Li Yunmu with a proud and aloof expression, like the first holy son of Ryukyu Small World should. If anyone else had been there, he indeed would have the capital to be arrogant, but unfortunately for him, the person he had come in contact with was not another young talent!

Li Yunmu narrowed his eyes and shot a black beam toward the intruder. It shocked Xiao Rong. The first holy son was completely gobsmacked by the fact the person in front of him would dare to attack him.

He then raised his hand to crush the reckless ant in front of him, but just as he was about to attack, his expression changed completely. He had sensed the strength of Li Yunmu’s attack.

In a moment of desperation, he hastily took out a charm from his chest pocket and crushed it. Then, a golden shield enveloped him.

Li Yunmu’s black beam covered the protective shield from top to bottom. Although Xiao Rong wasn’t injured, his protective shield was completely surrounded by the black beam, which allowed him to sense Li Yunmu’s might.

How could he have known that the person in front of him would surprisingly be so formidable? While he thought about that, a crack appeared on the protective shield, and his expression fell.

Fortunately for him, when the protective shield shattered, the black beam’s energy was completely exhausted. Xiao Rong heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that, but a hint of lingering fear was still in his heart.

If he hadn’t obtained two defensive charms the last time he entered Yin Imperial Palace, he would’ve turned into a corpse at that moment.

His father had told him that thecharm was unparalleled in the world, so how did it shatter from the attack? Did his luck finally run out?

But when he looked at the things in the stone room, he could sense the enormous energy fluctuations coming out from them. It was clear that all the treasures before him were heaven-defying existences, unlike those he previously obtained.

He was unwilling to leave empty-handed, so he squinted his eyes and said, “This dao friend, it was my mistake just a moment ago, so I’ve been thinking. You see these women behind me? You can take whoever you fancy among them!”

Li Yunmu looked up at him with a ridicule on his face at that moment. That guy was really not anything good. When the women standing behind him heard what was said, their complexion turned pale.

They had all come to look for opportunities, but they hadn’t expected that they would be traded like livestock. Yet they knew that the cultivation world was cruel. The strong preyed on the weak, and only those with formidable strength could live properly.

When Xiao Rong saw that Li Yunmu wasn’t saying anything, he thought that he was moved by his proposal. His smile became even wider, and he said, “But dao friend, after you take them, the things in this room will belong to me!”

Li Yunmu didn’t say anything nor show any expression. He didn’t intend to talk with an ant, and he erupted with a powerful presence before rushing to attack Xiao Rong.
