Capítulo 1320: Chapter 676: Before You, Li Ming, I Am Not Qualified to Use the Word “Deceive

An unprecedented life aura surged forth, filling every corner of the Starfield.

Even Li Ming felt his breath catch, despite having switched to a combat system and possessing a strong defense buff, his life level was still a notch below the opponent.

His eyes also gleamed with light, yet his gaze went past Adam, landing on the gigantic shattered throne above the Empire Mother Star that had yet to fully dissipate.

Despite being covered in cracks and having some gaps, according to records from the Titan Chronicles, Li Ming recognized it at a glance as the Eternal Holy Seat.

Adam was indeed not dead, Li Ming breathed a genuine sigh of relief.

That way, he could complete his mission in one fell swoop and wouldn’t have to spend extra energy searching for this thing in the future.

However, he couldn’t help but be somewhat curious, after all, the opponent was the ultimate evolution body on the orthodox genetic evolution path, he was keen to know how strong the power was and what kind of might it possessed.

The spectral shadow shrank like a whirlpool current, followed by Adam silently appearing in front of Alves at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

The Holy Emperor Robe on his body flowed with liquid star-like silver brilliance, the surface fabric bearing overlapping dark gold dragon patterns, each scale in the dragon patterns was embedded with tiny crystals, resembling skin fragments but mixed with many white shards.

His pupils flickered with an inexhaustible blazing flame, the shoulder guards were crafted into a curled nebula form, the waist belt was a sculpture of two interlocking serpents consuming each other.

The hem of the robe soaked in a deep purple halo, dragging out time-space echoes; though seemingly thin and light, it was a culmination of the Empire’s highest technological achievements.

Boom!

Even fiercer, unchecked life aura swept from Adam’s presence, every life form sensing this terrifying apex of the food chain shivered involuntarily, their bodies instinctively fearful.

Simultaneously, the camera lurking in the shadows suffered complete signal disruption due to the high intensity of life radiation.

The last information stream transmitted was the gigantic spectral shadow looming over the Empire Mother Star.

“This, this is… Adam? Isn’t he supposed to be dead!?” cried a civilization leader as he jumped out of his seat, eyes wide open while his advisor team collectively fell silent.

“I knew it. The Holy Emperor would never die so easily,” some faithful allies of the Empire exclaimed excitedly.

In one of Mikhail’s bases, Reynolds’s virtual projection flickered continuously, mechanical eyes glaring, his voice seething: “That damn bastard, he’s staging the whole game!”

“Damn it, ultimate life form, truly despicable!”

Although it was a live broadcast and they couldn’t directly feel Adam’s life aura, through some subtle reactions, especially now with Azure Dragon’s condition, they could surmise the unbelievable truth.

Reynolds cursed vehemently and finally gritted his teeth: “No way, contact Azure Dragon quickly and see if there’s any countermeasure he can employ.”

Mikhail was equally unsettled but managed to maintain composure, murmuring: “Azure Dragon, indeed wise, not attending himself, a truly clever choice.”

…

In the Empire’s temporary command center, Wald stumbled backward, face pale, it’s all over, completely over.

“How could it be like this…” he couldn’t believe it,

After rumors spread about Adam being severely hurt and the successor being chosen, the Upper and Lower Houses did not immediately believe so.

They only felt somewhat reassured after paying a hefty price to learn from the Dominator Laboratory about the detailed process of modulating the genetic seed, confirming Adam couldn’t become the ultimate life form.

The other half of the reassurance came only after assassinating numerous Princes.

As he told Arthur differently, the assassination of the other Princes and the coup on the Empire Mother Star were not carried out immediately.

But a little earlier by just ten minutes; if their assassination attempt failed, noticing unknown protectors around these Princes, even at the last moment, they would abandon their action.

However, aside from the Second Prince and Abel, all other Princes were killed, which gave them complete peace of mind.

“Such a ruthless Holy Emperor…” he gritted his teeth, body trembling, “Using his own sons as bait.”

To support Arthur, they mobilized countless resources, which now, might have blatantly exposed under Adam’s scrutiny.

After this event, an unprecedented purge would unfold, the ultimate life form’s power enough to suppress all dissent.

Undoubtedly, Abel suffered the biggest blow, as if turned to stone, even his gaze didn’t change, fixed rigidly on the familiar yet unfamiliar specter.

Then, as if electrified, he twitched violently, heart pounding, thoughts finally stirred.

Father was actually alive?

But then he understood, it was a grand setup, meant to gather all enemies together, then obliterate them.

His father, the Empire’s Holy Emperor, involved everyone in the scheme.

Yet after realizing this, Abel’s heart was only filled with bitterness, recalling the moments when he nearly got killed and thinking of those brothers who died.

Though not particularly close to them, he felt a fox mourning for the rabbit.

Adam, their father, never cared for their lives.

In fact, until he was attacked, with nearly all his brothers dead, he still harbored the possibility that Adam might still be alive.

Only after that did he truly believe Adam had died.
