Chapter 877: Lies

Doumu, the Lifegiver who governs lies, was now right in front of Li Huowang. Li Huowang had summoned it using the Boundless Heaven Treasure Chant of the Way of Oblivion.

Even though it was currently only a manifestation, the pressure it exerted was still incredibly powerful.

Li Huowang felt his body continuously disintegrating and his consciousness fading. He looked up again, at the yin-yang ocean that covered the entire sky above him, and roared, "What are you waiting for?!"

The next moment, Li Huowang's body completely melted, turning into a pool of blood on the ground.

A hand reached out from the side and pulled a spine from the blood. Li Huowang, holding the spine, fearlessly raised it high above his head.

He was about to say something, but stopped. He slowly turned his head, looked at the Unspeakable Army in the distance, and laughed with extreme arrogance.

"Hahahaha! You don't actually think the Lifegiver I summoned would turn against me, do you? You've been tricked by me!"

As Li Huowang quickly twisted his head, his face instantly transformed into a red tile.

"Look what this is! This is the Yin-Yang Doumu! The Lifegiver who governs lies! The leader of our Way of Oblivion!"

"Hahahahaha! Come on! Aren't you all capable? You even defeated the Unborn Old Mother before? Then try this one!"

Faced with Li Huowang's words, the Unspeakable Army stood motionless. They stood on the undulating ground, like statues.

"Cowards! A bunch of good-for-nothings!" Li Huowang stomped his feet fiercely, and under the watchful gaze of the Yin-Yang Doumu, he charged towards them with full confidence.

Just as Li Huowang was halfway there, the Unspeakable Army finally moved.

Some slender Dan and Qingyi figures were lifted high by Laosheng and Xiaosheng figures, and, stepping on stilts, reached out towards the cloudy Yin-Yang Doumu in the sky.

But just as they were about to make a major move, the Unspeakable Army instantly dispersed. Their twisted faces showed suspicion as they scrutinized their companions.

"Hmm?" When he saw these beings even starting to attack their own kind, he immediately understood that Doumu had intervened.

As the Heavenly Dao that governs lies, it could, whenever it wished, instantly cause any group to develop various suspicions towards their own companions.

However, to Li Huowang's surprise, the Unspeakable Army seemed to suddenly realize what was wrong with them. They all raised their hands, reaching for their heads.

As they lifted their hands, something was pulled from their minds. These were the lies within them.

However, for every lie they pulled out, Doumu inserted another. To ensure their thoughts were not disturbed, they were forced to stand there, continuously pulling out various lies from their heads.

During this time, Li Huowang had already charged in front of them, directly swinging his weapon and began a massacre.

The previously unbeatable Unspeakable Army now seemed like mere rabble before Li Huowang.

But just as Li Huowang was about to kill the rest of them, he saw them stop pulling lies from their minds. Doumu had also inexplicably ceased its previous actions.

Looking at the gazes fixed on him from all directions, and at the lies extracted from their minds on the ground, Li Huowang suddenly had an idea. He forcefully swung the blood-stained spine sword in his hand and shouted at them.

"Quickly, end your own lives! Your lives are linked to the Unborn Old Mother! Only if you die will the Unborn Old Mother die! For all of Tianchen! Your deaths are worth it!"

Immediately, surges of non-qi flowed into Li Huowang's body. The Unspeakable Army, one after another, reached their hands towards their left armpits.

As they inserted their hands and squeezed forcefully, reddish-purple blood instantly burst forth. They immediately collapsed to the ground, no longer moving.

When there are no lies in a person's heart, they naturally lose the ability to discern lies. At this moment, they would believe anything anyone told them.

The Unspeakable Army committed suicide one after another, and a large number gradually fell before Li Huowang.

Just as it seemed they were about to be completely deceived to their deaths by Li Huowang's lie, the surrounding illusion once again transformed into a forest.

The forest quickly appeared and quickly vanished here, and before anyone could react, it brought the slower-acting members of the Unspeakable Army back to the nation of Tianchen.

Li Huowang's body shifted, and he found himself in front of a forest. In the last moment before the forest disappeared, he caught sight of a golden dragon, faintly visible within the white mist.

As the forest quickly closed, everything around him returned to silence.

"A dragon? A true dragon? Not a false one?" Li Huowang was incredibly shocked by what he had just seen. A true dragon actually existed? What was its connection to dragon veins?

Now that he knew what the Unspeakable Army was, could it be that the Heavenly Imperial Nobles were true dragons?

Li Huowang had no idea of the answer to this question. It took him a while to collect himself.

He suddenly thought of his ally's actions. He looked up and cursed, "Doumu! You just—"

Li Huowang's words stopped abruptly mid-sentence. The sky had reverted to its previous state; the black-and-white interwoven chaotic ocean had long since vanished without a trace.

"Damn it!" Suppressing his anger, Li Huowang cursed under his breath.

Although Doumu had helped him through this predicament, judging by its recent attitude, Li Huowang was very unsure whether it would still be effective if he summoned it again next time.

"The Great Dao is selfless and truly blessed, compassionately saving the suffering Zhuge Yuan! The Great Dao is selfless and truly blessed, compassionately saving the suffering Zhuge Yuan! The Great Dao is selfless and truly blessed, compassionately saving the suffering Zhuge Yuan!"

Excited shouts continuously rang out, and Li Huowang was startled awake by the surging cries.

He looked up at the cheering people of Qi in front of him, watching them excitedly shouting and weeping as they kowtowed and paid homage to him.

They didn't know what had happened; they only knew that a Bodhisattva had manifested and defeated the foreign enemy.

Feeling the continuously flowing non-qi, Li Huowang looked at the people and muttered to himself, "I really didn't expect that these mortals would actually be the turning point to defeat the Unspeakable Army."

Just then, Chan Du, whose face was half-missing, walked over with his hands clasped together. "Amitābha. Under the Buddha, all beings are equal. Infinite beings come and go eternally, constantly circulating through the six realms without end. Mortals are not ordinary."

Li Huowang frowned and looked at him. "Do you know what I'm thinking, that you just interjected?"

Chan Du chuckled. The foreign enemy had been repelled, and he seemed to be in a good mood. "It is said to be the Heavenly Dao, but what is the Heavenly Dao without the Human Dao? Mortals are not useless; they are the source of all connections."

"Benefactor Li, as I said before, the Great Qi is yours. Whatever you want them to believe, they will believe."

"This time they were able to help Benefactor Li, and other places can help you even more, not just with the non-qi of the Way of Oblivion."
