Chapter 1,335 Breaking the Secret Realm

Fang Ping glared at Emperor Zhan Tian, ​​who didn't care.

He was still smiling, but Fang Ping suddenly snorted: "Anyone who smiles happily is either a fool or a bad person, the kind that oozes pus!"

Emperor Zhantian laughed.

Are you the bad type that leaks pus?

If not, that would be what Fang Ping calls a fool.

Without arguing with Fang Ping, Emperor Zhantian said softly: "The wall between heaven and man is about to break."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Ping's expression changed slightly.

"how long?"

"About three months."

Emperor Zhan Tian looked at the sky and said slowly: "Originally it wasn't so fast, but... now that the boundary point has appeared and the emperor has been coming frequently, the power of the boundary wall is already unstable and I'm afraid it won't last long."

"The boundary wall is broken and the three realms become one?"

Fang Ping said solemnly: "Will the original universe and the Nine Heavens be unified?"

"First the Nine Heavens, then the Origin Universe."

Emperor Zhantian said softly: "The existence of the Heaven-Human Realm Wall in the past was, on the one hand, to protect the homeland, and on the other hand, to restrict high-level warriors from fighting so as not to destroy the Three Realms.

Those who should go to the Nine Heavens to fight should go to the Nine Heavens.

If you should go to the eighth heaven, go to the eighth heaven.

Otherwise, when the emperors fight, it will be just like in the past, when the heaven is broken, the earth is broken, and the human world is broken..."

"The wall between heaven and man originally protected the homeland and restricted the strong, but later it had other functions."

"What?"

Fang Ping looked at him and actually knew it in his heart. Without waiting for Emperor Zhan Tian to answer, he hummed softly: "A barrier that separates the human world?"

"That's right."

Emperor Zhan Tian was not surprised that he could figure this out, and said softly: "When there is a problem with the origin, the boundary wall will become an existence that traps the human world."

Emperor Zhantian said again: "Three months later,

Can you hold on? "

Fang Ping was silent.

How can it be!

After three months, even if I can fight the emperor, what's the use?

Three months later, even if the human race is practicing in an environment full of vitality, how far can they practice?

Three months... is too short!

It's incredibly short.

Emperor Zhantian chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, I can't do anything to them now. Even if I can kill one person, so what? The Emperor is not just one person. Killing one person is useless."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Fang Ping and others changed!

What a loud tone!

What if I kill someone?

Your Majesty, these people were Po-Jiu back then, but not now!

Even a weak person may have more than 60 million calories of energy and blood now.

This is not the time when we first attained enlightenment 30,000 years ago!

The projection of Emperor Zhan Tian was quite impressive.

Emperor Zhan Tian didn't explain anything, and said: "Now, the only thing I can do is to buy some time for you."

Fang Ping looked at him and frowned: "What do you want to do? What is your purpose?"

"I don't want to do anything, I just... hope there will be less killing and less death in the Three Realms."

Emperor Zhan Tian said leisurely: "The sky in the three realms is always blood red, blue sky and white clouds. I haven't seen it for a long time."

"The human world is my hometown, my homeland, and my hometown..."

"I still hope that my homeland will last forever, and I don't want to bury my homeland for the sake of seeds."

With that said, he ignored Fang Ping, looked at the Spirit Emperor, and chuckled: "You want to see the Emperor of Heaven, how about I send you to see him?"

The Spirit Emperor's face changed slightly.

She didn't mean to be condescending towards Emperor Zhan Tian, ​​even if it was just a projection.

Many strong people are like this. They have completely different attitudes towards people of the same level.

As for the newly powerful and speculative people like Fang Ping, she would not be convinced even if they were not as strong as him.

He was the proud man of that era, and was known as the second person after the Emperor of Heaven.

At this moment, although the Spirit Emperor's face was still cold, his tone was no longer cold, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you want?"

"Sending you to see him... I'm afraid that I'm not strong enough on my own, so I want to borrow a little bit of help, and hope that the Spirit Emperor will do it."

The Spirit Emperor looked at him and then at the blood-colored long bow on his back. He suddenly understood something. A sad look appeared in his eyes, which quickly passed away. He sneered: "You didn't shoot that arrow back then. You have passed away today. How can you still do it?" Want to regain the glory of the past?”

Arrows pointed at the emperors!

This was the most glorious and bold moment in Zhan's life. However, he still failed to shoot the arrow.

Otherwise, history may be rewritten today.

On that day, if he was willing to fight, many people would join him in taking action.

The Tyrant Emperor, the Destroying Emperor, and even the Eastern Emperor and the Human Emperor of that day might all be on his side, instead of like what happened later, when everyone was desperate and changed their minds.

The arrow from the past was missed, and everyone wondered if Zhan had ever regretted it, but the Nine Emperors had thought about this all the time.

That arrow was a turning point in ancient times.

Emperor Zhantian smiled and said, "Would the Spiritual Emperor be willing to help me?"

The Spirit Emperor glanced at Fang Ping and others and sneered: "Do I still have a choice?"

"No."

Emperor Zhan Tian sighed: "Your avatar has escaped the control of the Spirit Emperor's true body. After you get out, the Spirit Emperor will kill you! In that case, you help me once, and I will send you to see the Emperor of Heaven to fulfill your wish. Isn't that right? Isn’t it better than now?”

"hypocritical!"

The Spirit Emperor sneered, "You are so hypocritical today, it's ridiculous!"

"Maybe."

Emperor Zhan Tian's mood was waning, and he murmured: "In the past, I never thought that I would survive to this day."

The Spirit Emperor's face changed for a while, and he sneered: "Okay! I promise you! But now, even with my help, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to do it."

"It doesn't matter!"

Emperor Zhantian looked at the passage behind him, waved his hand, and the passage disappeared!

The next moment, everyone saw the people on the other side of the passage.

Long Bian, Lin Zi, Zhan Wang, Li Zhen...Wang Jinyang.

At this moment, Wang Jinyang also looked at Emperor Zhantian and the long bow on his back, and instantly knew the identity of this person.

war!

The two look somewhat similar, and their temperaments are somewhat similar, but there are also differences.

Emperor Zhan Tian was more gentle, while Wang Jinyang was more cold and stern.

"you……"

Emperor Zhan Tian looked at Wang Jinyang and said with a smile, "How about we come over and talk about it?"

The light in Wang Jinyang's eyes flashed away, and without any hesitation, he came through the air in an instant.

As soon as he arrived, Fang Ping appeared in front of him instantly, blocking his way.

Looking at Emperor Zhan Tian, ​​Fang Ping said coldly: "What do you want to do?"

Emperor Zhantian smiled, and behind him, Wang Jinyang said in a deep voice: "It's okay, I'll have a few words with him!"

"Old Wang..."

"It's fine!"

Lao Wang said in a deep voice: "I have wanted to see him for a long time. Since I met him by chance today, it can be considered as my wish came true!"

Fang Ping narrowed his eyes, glanced at Emperor Zhantian, and moved out of the way.

The next moment, Lao Wang Po Kong stepped forward and walked to the opposite side of Emperor Zhan Tian.

They are about the same height, one has long hair and the other has short hair.

They have similar temperaments and similar faces. At this moment, both of them are carrying blood-colored long bows.

"I've met senior!"

Lao Wang bowed slightly.

Emperor Zhantian returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "I have met my fellow Taoist."

The two stood up and looked at each other.

Emperor Zhan Tian looked at him for a while, then chuckled and said: "Slightly better than this Demon King..."

Fang Ping pouted.

Self-promotion and self-promotion!

Lao Wang didn't care about this and looked at him and said, "Senior, you came to see me. Do you have something to give me?"

"I can't talk about giving orders. I just want to use my fellow Taoist's body."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Ping raised his sword and struck!

Emperor Zhan Tian moved slightly to avoid the knife, and said with a smile: "My fellow Taoist is too impatient, and he does not mean to seize the body. Although he has the same origin, Zhan has already fallen. It is just more convenient to borrow my friend's body." .”

Wang Jinyang waved his hand back and said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do, senior?"

"Shoot the arrow that you never shot in the past..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the God of War bow on Wang Jinyang's back suddenly disappeared and instantly fell into the hands of Emperor Zhan Tian.

Emperor Zhan Tian rubbed it for a moment and said with emotion: "It's a good thing that this bow is still there."

Lao Wang looked at him for a long time and said in a low voice: "Who is the target?"

Emperor Zhantian smiled and said, "Who do you hope you are?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ping hurriedly interjected: "You want to shoot an arrow? What is your strength? Can you shoot the emperor? If possible, how about killing the God Emperor?"

"..."

Emperor Zhan Tian glanced at him, but was unwilling to pay attention to him, and then looked at Lao Wang.

Lao Wang said in a deep voice: "You don't want to shoot those people?"

"It's hard to kill. Even if it dies, there is still time for resurrection."

Lao Wang was silent for a while and then said: "Stop the enemy! If Fang Ping wants to take away the seeds, an emperor will definitely take action to capture him! Stop the enemy and let him return. I am willing to lend you my body!"

"Stop the enemy..."

Emperor Zhantian chuckled and said: "Actually... you can also be like Tianji and receive some of my power. If so, you don't have to be so troublesome."

Fang Ping added: "With your power, how far can he reach? Will you take him away?"

"..."

Emperor Zhan Tian looked at him and sighed: "It is impolite to frequently interrupt other people's conversations."

"Be polite to you, sir!"

Fang Ping cursed and said: "Don't think that because you and Lao Wang have the same origin, I won't kill you! Don't mess with me. If you mess with me, I'll chop you into pieces too. No, your body is gone. Where can you get the pieces of meat?" !”

Emperor Zhantian was speechless.

When you meet an unreasonable person, it is useless to reason with him.

After laughing, Emperor Zhantian chuckled and said: "The power you receive from me should be slightly stronger than Tianji, close to the Eighth Level."

"So strong?"

Fang Ping was a little surprised. He was relatively strong, close to breaking eight.

Fang Ping hurriedly looked at Lao Wang. Lao Wang ignored Fang Ping and looked at Emperor Zhantian for a while, as if he was planning something. Then he quickly said, "I'll help you shoot that arrow!"

"That's fine too."

Emperor Zhantian smiled, then looked at the powerful men from all directions and said slowly: "Everyone, it's time to leave!"

Everyone frowned, and people like Hongkun also looked at Fang Ping.

leave?

To leave now, we can only take the passage in the human world.

Will Fang Ping let them take this passage?

At this time, Fang Ping also frowned.

Emperor Zhantian said again: "If you don't leave, this place will be shattered. Even if not all of you die, some will be implicated. There are not many strong people in the Three Realms. If more people die, they will wither even more."

Fang Ping glanced at Lao Zhang, who said in a deep voice: "You can let them live their lives! Unless you die, they won't dare to mess around. If you die, it doesn't matter if you take action now or in the future!"

Over there, King Zhentian said depressedly: "Am I still here? It's time for me to evacuate, what's the worry?"

How much you look down on yourself!

His original clone is still sitting cross-legged at this moment and will not leave for a while.

But at the beginning of martial arts, he still had to leave.

Zhang Xiaozi didn’t take him seriously at all!

Zhang Tao seemed to have just remembered him, glanced at him, looked at Fang Ping and said, "It's safer if he's here! How about... let's go together?"

With that said, he looked at Emperor Zhan Tian, ​​"Senior Zhan, let's leave. Can you defeat the seeds with one arrow?"

"Can."

Emperor Zhantian smiled and said: "If you do this, that's fine! You can all leave first, which is indeed a safe solution."

Fang Ping snorted coldly: "I can't trust him! If he collects the seeds and gives them to the emperors, and the emperors follow the seeds and find the true seeds, they are on the earth. Today will be the day when the earth becomes extinct!"

He would not believe in Zhan Tian Emperor.

Although he had some good feelings before, it didn't mean that he was really willing to leave his future in the hands of others.

He would get the seeds himself.

Either take it away, digest it yourself, or destroy it directly.

Anyway, Emperor Zhan Tian will never be allowed to take it away or destroy it.

As for the Spirit Emperor, Fang Ping glanced at Emperor Zhan Tian again. Emperor Zhan Tian seemed to have reached some agreement with the other party. Fang Ping didn't know what he wanted to do. After thinking about it at the moment, he chose to ignore it.

Now that Emperor Zhantian is here, Emperor Ling and Emperor Zhantian are both threats. It makes no difference whether they are one threat or two threats.

The key is, Fang Ping can't hold on anymore, and neither can the secret realm.

If we kill these two again, I'm afraid the secret realm will collapse before we finish killing them.

Fang Ping looked at everyone in Hongkun and said coldly: "Everyone can leave! If you stay here, you may not know who is the emperor, so you can go back and collect the seeds and give them to the emperor!"

But after leaving this place and entering the earth, everyone will leave quickly!

Otherwise...if I don't die, don't blame me for being ruthless! "

"Buzz!"

There was a sound breaking through the air, and the next moment, Tianji had already arrived in front of the black hole, and said quickly: "Let me go first, I have entered the human world, and I will leave immediately and return to the West Palace!"

"..."

This guy is not very fast. There is a dragon in front of them blocking their way, so it is difficult for him to force his way in. At this moment, he said urgently: "Hurry up, I promise not to stay in the world, even if you want to leave me!"

Who wants to stay in the world?

He won’t stay anyway!

After going to the human world, he left immediately and returned to the West Palace.

The further you go from this damn place, the better.

It's okay to break seven, but now... maybe there's a fatal crisis.

Fang Ping nodded slightly, and Long Bian and others moved out of the way.

Lao Zhang signaled, and the war king saw this and followed him.

Poqi's Tianji is still very strong, but just think about it. Will Tianji go on a killing spree on the earth?

This possibility is almost non-existent!

Seeing this, the others stopped staying. Hongkun said coldly: "Don't forget your previous promise!"

Zhang Tao smiled and said: "Of course not! Senior King Zhentian, give them a ride!"

As soon as these words came out, several people felt a little uncomfortable.

What do you mean by giving us a ride?

Over there, Hongyu suddenly said: "Where is Brother Li Dao?"

As soon as he said this, Li Zhen suddenly raised a small ball in his hand, "This?"

Mini skull!

Little cute.

Li Zhu's appearance was vaguely revealed.

Li Zhu was really captured alive.

At this moment, Li Zhu was also seriously injured. Otherwise, Li Zhen wouldn't be able to hold the opponent in his hands so easily.

Li Zhen threw the skull casually and sneered: "It's a pity that I couldn't kill him back then! I didn't expect that it would still fall into my hands today!"

Back then, it was about the time when he reached the pinnacle of enlightenment and ambushed three divine generals more than ten years ago.

The left god general died in battle, the right god general was seriously injured, and Li Zhudao was destroyed.

However, no one was too lazy to say anything. Li Zhu in the past probably did this intentionally, otherwise, how could Li Zhen easily defeat them.

Hongyu glanced at Li Zhu's head and felt helpless.

The injury is serious!

This time, among the eight, Li Zhu was the worst.

Fang Ping had long wanted to kill Li Zhu.

"Brother Zhang..."

Hong Yu looked at Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang glanced at Li Zhu's mini skull and said calmly: "Li Zhen, give it back to Hong Yu. Be gentle and don't break Brother Li's head!"

"OK!"

Li Zhen grinned and understood!

We have been working together for many years, don’t you understand this?

Boom!

Like throwing a shot put, Li Zhen threw the skull towards Hong Yu with great force. The rumbling sound continued, and Li Zhu's mini head was cracking at the moment.

Hongyu sighed softly, reached out and grabbed the almost completely broken head in his hand.

"Brother Yu..."

At this moment, Li Zhu's weak voice came out.

It was almost completely over!

Hongyu didn't say anything, but output some vitality to nourish the skull.

Fang Ping sneered, "I'm lucky this time, but I won't be so lucky next time! Li Zhu, when you see me next time, hide as far away as you can. Anyone who is defeated by me once will never be able to stand up!"

You didn't die this time, next time... I will kill you! "

Li Zhu was silent.

Fang Ping didn't bother to say anything anymore. With a roar, his body was torn apart. The next moment, more than a dozen beginners fell to the ground with pale faces.

Including Poba's Hades and Heavenly Arms, they were a little overwhelmed at the moment.

Fang Ping looked at them and said slowly: "Everyone can go!"

At this moment, Fang Ping's Qi machine had once again returned to the eight-breaking stage.

Pluto glanced at Fang Ping, then at Emperor Zhantian, and finally at the three cats struggling over there, nodding slightly without saying anything.

However, after looking at Emperor Zhan Tian, ​​he still asked in a deep voice: "Zhan, you were the most friendly to Chu Wu in the past. I want to ask, is there a way out for Chu Wu?"

Emperor Zhantian chuckled and said: "Yes, but... the reason why Chuwu was robbed was not for nothing! In the past, several people in Chuwu secretly stole some of the original power, which led to the expansion of the source's loopholes.

These people are unwilling to return their original power, and you are also implicated by them. "

As soon as these words came out, Hades seemed to know something, frowned slightly, cupped his hands and stopped asking.

Chu Wu's side suffered disaster not without reason.

There are also some reasons for Chuwu himself.

They...have only suffered from it.

But Tianzhu said hurriedly: "When will the boxing gods and the others be able to get out of trouble?"

"Soon."

Sky Arm breathed a sigh of relief, that's good.

Today, the origins are breaking through more and more. On Chuwu's side, there are only three of them. If the boxing gods and the others don't get out of trouble, the gap between Chuwu's combat power and that of the origins will be too big.

These people no longer stayed at this moment and left one after another.

King Zhentian glanced at Zhang Tao and the others, and without saying anything else, he quickly followed them as an escort.

Prevent these people from lingering on the earth and causing trouble on the earth.

Over there, Long Bian and others did not leave, so Lao Zhang opened his mouth and said: "You guys should leave too!"

"That……"

Lao Zhang smiled and said: "Don't worry about us, we will leave when it's time to leave!"

Everyone looked at each other, a little worried, but helpless.

That’s all!

One by one, strong men began to enter the passage and leave this place.

There are fewer and fewer people.

In the end, only Fang Ping, Zhang Tao, Wang Jinyang, Zhentian King's original clone, Zhan, Linghuang, and three cats were still playing.

"Cangmao, it's time to go back!"

The cangmao who was playing around was dragging the tails of the three cats. Hearing this, he raised his head and said with a look of reluctance: "Are you leaving now?"

"This place is about to collapse..."

"Oh well!"

Cang Mao was a little reluctant to give up, and looked at Second Cat and Third Cat and said: "Second Cat, Third Cat, let's go together! There are many, many delicious foods in this cat's cat palace, and a big tree has just been chopped down." , we still have royal drinks to drink.”

The second cat and the third cat, who were playing around just now, looked at each other. The second cat suddenly jumped on Emperor Zhan Tian's shoulder, waved his paw and said: "Big cat, you go back, I won't leave."

The three cats also swayed their fat bodies and ran to the Spirit Emperor, "Big Cat, I'm not leaving either!"

"..."

Cangmao's face was full of reluctance, "Why don't you leave! It's useless for you to stay. Come with me. Let's eat delicious food and drink delicious food. We'll beat whoever is upset. And Yeah, I haven’t caught the big fish yet, let’s go fishing again…”

"No more, Big Cat, please help us eat more."

Ermaomao's face was full of smiles, "Go back quickly. I'll see you again when I have the chance. Remember to leave some delicious food for us, don't eat it all."

"Two cats..."

"Let's go, let's go!"

The two cats waved their paws in disgust.

Cang Mao had a look of reluctance. Fang Ping glanced at it without saying anything. He looked at Lao Zhang and said, "You should go back too."

"I'll wait!"

Lao Zhang thought for a while and said: "I'll wait for you at the entrance of the passage! You may be able to use me at a critical moment! What's more, the passage also needs to be destroyed to prevent the emperor from using the passage's power to reach the earth!"

Fang Ping thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, King Zhentian is over there. If there is any danger, you should return immediately and join forces with King Zhentian and others to defeat the passage!"

"good!"

Lao Zhang raised his head and glanced at the increasingly illusory seeds, exhaled: "Be careful, I'll wait for you here!"

After that, the voice message said: "If you can't, run over there! That old guy, even if this clone dies, isn't there still another clone alive? He is very powerful, and can block the knife for you at the critical moment!"

Fang Ping glanced at King Zhentian who was still sitting cross-legged over there and smiled a little.

Lao Zhang is also a black-hearted person!

At the critical moment, he asked himself to run towards King Zhentian, obviously because he would rather kill the original clone of King Zhentian than to let Fang Ping die.

The original clone of King Zhentian hasn't left yet, and Fang Ping suspected that this guy probably hadn't broken through yet and might be waiting for an opportunity.

Fang Ping nodded slightly and didn't say much.

"Remember! Also, you have lost the ability to combine now, and your strength is only eight. Don't mess around. If it doesn't work...just give up!"

"knew!"

Fang Ping said impatiently: "Stop nagging and leave quickly!"

Lao Zhang took a deep breath, still a little worried, "I'm afraid it's too late, why not... let me enter your original world?"

"Need not!"

"But……"

Lao Zhang is worried that the current Fang Ping cannot bear it. In Fang Ping's origin, if the path is cut off at a critical moment, Fang Ping may still be able to explode. Even if he cannot kill the emperor, he can still find a chance to leave this place.

As long as they leave the boundary point, the emperors are subject to some restrictions and cannot come.

Even if it comes, its strength will not be as strong as it is now.

"Stop it!"

Fang Ping interrupted: "You and I are both dead. Are we going to hand over the human race to that old ghost, King Zhentian? That old guy might be holding back his evil, but you can still control your speed when you go back!"

Lao Zhang took a deep breath and quickly rushed to the black hole without any further delay this time.

"Big Cat, you go too!"

"Meow..."

Cangmao looked at the two cats reluctantly. He couldn't let go of these two cats.

"Two cats, three cats..."

Cangmao took out a lot of food again, and Yukong stepped forward and stuffed a lot of food for both cats.

With a look of pain on his face, he suddenly took out two drops of white liquid and said reluctantly: "This is the Royal Drink. The big tree exploded. There is not much left. You guys should share some...it tastes good, Ben." The cat secretly drank a drop just now, it tastes really good!”

The second cat had a smile on his face, and the third cat was also beaming, and he didn't refuse again this time.

The three cats said happily: "Where's the Emperor's Drink? The big cats are so powerful!"

"That's right, otherwise how can I be your boss!"

The Cang Mao was very happy when he saw the two cats accepting his gift. Then he reluctantly walked to the black hole, but did not leave.

It and Zhang Tao were waiting here, waiting for Fang Ping to leave together.

Seeing that they had arranged it, Emperor Zhan Tian looked up at the sky again, then at Wang Jinyang, and said with a smile: "Then you and I will merge?"

Fang Ping frowned, but Lao Wang ignored this and nodded lightly.

The next moment, Emperor Zhan Tian took a step forward and instantly merged into Lao Wang's body.

Both sides become one!

Lao Wang's energy flickered for a moment, and soon he regained his composure.

The two cats also jumped on Lao Wang's shoulders. Obviously, Lao Wang at this moment was already the Emperor of War.

Not far away, the Spirit Emperor recovered his broken leg, glanced at the three cats, and said coldly: "You really don't want to go with Cang Mao?"

"I'm not leaving."

The three cats looked at her pitifully.

The cold-faced Spirit Emperor suddenly showed a smile at this moment, and it flashed away like an iceberg melting.

"Then follow me!"

With a tip of her toes, the three cats fell onto her shoulders. The Spirit Emperor patted the three cats on the head. The three cats shrank a lot and were no longer the same as before, almost covering the Spirit Emperor.

The two cats, one lying on the shoulder of Emperor Zhan Tian and the other on the shoulder of Emperor Ling, were both waving their claws at Cang Mao at this moment.

Goodbye, big cat!

At this moment, Emperor Zhantian, who possessed Lao Wang, slowly said: "You can go collect the seeds!"

Fang Ping took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, and took to the air!

At the same time, a figure was as fast as lightning. Fang Ping's shoulders sank, and Cangmao jumped on his shoulders. The cat's face was full of joy and said: "Three people, three cats, you don't have a cat, you are not neat!"

Fang Ping's movements were slightly stagnant, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Then I'll take you to play with the emperor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Ping's speed surged, he flew out of the air, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the silkworm baby in the air.

"receive!"

With a low cry, Fang Ping covered the sky with his hands and grabbed the silkworm baby!

Boom!

The void in all directions trembled, and the entire secret realm began to collapse and shatter.

The secret realm is about to be broken.
