Omnipotent Overlord

Nine-headed race was below average in melee, but made up for it with exceeding talented ranged arts. Adding to that their unity trait, their power would reach a whole new level. 

Ao Zhen’s nine heads shot one beam after the other, faster than a machine gun. A pity only the first strike hit home, while the rest Li Mo dodged.

Hum~

Li Mo stepped through the air, reaching Ao Zhen in one jump. Warp wasn’t limited to treading on ground, capable of moving in any direction with great speed.

Thump!

Li Mo punched Ao Zhen’s chest, running him through. 

Ao Zhen jumped back in fright and used Grand Light Sutra to heal. 

“I underestimated you. I never imagined you knew God Huo’s divine footwork!”

“To hell with Huo’s divine feet. This is humanity’s Warp. He took it from us without an ounce of shame and changed its name.”

“Heh, who knows. But Li Mo, all your attacks are useless. While you, how long will you last?“

Ao Zhen’s nine bird heads twisted together and spewed a two meter wide beam.

Li Mo merely leaned out of the way…

“This is just the start.”

Ao Zhen roared and split into nine, attacking him from everywhere with nine two meter wide beams. 

“Nine united, nine separated. This is my race’s strongest attack. Li Mo, die!”

Boom~

The nine beams covered a wide area, leaving Li Mo no room to dodge…

But when the first beam struck Li Mo, he was stuck in place, letting the other eight hit true.

“Unity is our greatest power. For a brief moment our power can affect time and stop you for three seconds!”

“Die!”

Ao Zhen roared and his body shrank, while his power grew.

“If it were Ao Tong using this power, it would’ve been different. A pity you fall short.”

When Ao Zhen had written Li Mo off after the nine beams exploded, Li Mo spoke.

“Y-you’re not harmed?” Ao Zhen cried. He wanted to say ‘you’re not dead’ but changed his words.

“This attack can’t even scratch me.”

Li Mo walked towards him.

“A-are you even a human? No, no human can have such a freaky body!

“It’s impossible! Even Golden Armored race will be torn to pieces by our unity. How are you still alive?“

“Forgive me for not answering.”

Li Mo used God Prison to attack.

God Prison could suck people in but also attack. 

Hum~

As it flew, God Prison grew in size, as did its speed. Ao Zhen saw white before his eyes as a millstone sized God Prison hammered him.

Pu~

That hit alone popped six of his heads.

God Prison returned to Li Mo’s hand, to its original size.

“I told you. Your attack is useless!”

Ao Zhen roared, the six heads regrown.

“Ao Zhen, that hit was me going easy on you, or you’d have no head left intact.”

“Grand Light Sutra can help you recover, but I’m sure you know its price.”

“What price? Grand Light Sutra has no price. I can use it how I want!” Ao Zhen froze.

“Each use cuts your lifespan. If I blew all your heads, then your lifespan would’ve been down to two thirds!”

Ao Zhen cried, “H-how do you know? Who the hell are you?”

Nine-headed race’s Grand Light Sutra was regarded as one of their three supreme arts. Its flaw, when not matched with the Sacred Light Physique, had always been secret knowledge. No outsider knew that.

“Simple, I know it too.”

Li Mo’s hand shine faintly white.

Ao Zhen’s face fell.

Grand Light Sutra was passed on only among the royalty of the Nine-headed race. Not even the average Nine-headed race could learn it. Since when did it fell in the hands of an outsider? 

Ao Zhen gnashed his teeth, “Who are you?”

“Li Mo.”

“Human?”

“Human.”

“Bull crap! There’s no human this strong! Humans on Nine Origins Planet are worthless than even snow people, than Gnolls!”

“Humans are worthless?”

Li Mo mocked, bearing down on Ao Zhen with God Prison in hand and scaring him into falling back.

“Who is it I wonder, the worthless among us two? If you don’t want to die, kneel, or my magic treasure will plaster you!”

“Spare me!”

Ao Zhen caved on the spot.

“At least you’re sensible…”

Ao Zhen fell silent. He didn’t want this either, but that God Prison was fast as lightning. He couldn’t even dodge.

The next time he’d get hit, he feared he’d die for good.

“Now tell me, who is the one behind the invasion?”

The past Li Mo knew God Huo was part of the immense invasion, but he was just one part of a much bigger whole.

“I’ll talk. The mastermind behind the invasion on Earth is-“

Pff…

Ao Zhen’s nine bird heads exploded. A mark appeared on his body, sealing Grand Light Sutra and ensuring his death.

Li Mo was stunned.

He didn’t kill Ao Zhen. It was a result of going against terms and conditions.

“What a devious method, using Binding Art on his soul to kill him the instant he began talking.”

Li Mo sighed.

This wasn’t his first time seeing it. The past him had captured many aliens in the invasion, but Soul Search worked on neither one of them. 

They ended up the same way as Ao Zhen. Merely using Soul Search the target’s soul would explode, blocking any information extraction.

Li Mo landed and saw that Ao Zhen’s men were long gone…
