The First Marquis of Daxuan

Li Tianzun did not exchange statements with Su Mu.

However, he was experienced in combat and naturally knew what words would be effective.

Verbal attacks are also an essential skill for the strong.

As expected, as soon as he said these words, the five Void Beast Celestial Venerables who were attacking him involuntarily slowed down their movements.

However, they had already been fooled once before, so getting them to retreat this time wouldn't be so easy.

"No matter how good a divine weapon is, it depends on who wields it. There are only two of you, so even if you had many divine weapons, you wouldn't be able to unleash their full power."

A Void Beast Celestial Venerable coldly said, "Unless you possess a spiritual treasure!"

"What a joke! How could they possibly have a spiritual treasure? They boasted that the Five Elements Mountain in the hands of the Great Celestial Venerable was a spiritual treasure, but it wasn't at all."

There is only one spiritual treasure in the world, and that is the Staff of No Heaven. The Staff of No Heaven is in the hands of our Void Realm; how could they, the Yang Realm, possibly possess it?

Another Void Beast Celestial Venerable sneered, and with a single claw, it knocked several of the countless weapons down from the sky.

Seeing that several of the weapons he controlled had been destroyed by the Void Beast Celestial Venerable, Su Mu's expression remained calm.

He glanced at the Void Beast Celestial Venerable who had made the move and said indifferently, "Didn't you hear what Celestial Venerable Li said?"

"What did he say?"

The Void Beast Celestial Venerable was stunned for a moment. We are fighting to the death, and you think this is just casual conversation?
Who cares what he said?
He said, "I am the best alchemist in the mortal realm."

Su Mu calmly said, "Knowing that I am an alchemist, you still dare to touch my divine weapon. Who gave you the courage?"

The expression on the Void Beast Celestial Venerable's face changed slightly, and it subconsciously looked down at its hands.

Its claws were completely black.

"You used poison?"

It was both surprised and furious, and roared.

Who would have thought that in a battle between celestial beings, one side would resort to poisoning!
It's not that all of the Celestial Venerable's methods are aboveboard, but rather that ordinary poisons simply cannot harm him.

As a being at the pinnacle of martial arts, it is no exaggeration for the Celestial Venerable to say that he is immune to all poisons.

To think that one could poison the Celestial Venerable was practically a pipe dream.

But now, the Void Beast Celestial Venerable felt that his palm had completely lost all feeling.

Meanwhile, the Void Beast Celestial Venerables who were fighting against Su Mu also found that their wounds were beginning to itch unbearably.

Their faces involuntarily showed expressions of surprise and anger.

Swish!
The Void Beast Celestial Venerable gritted his teeth and severed his own claws.

以它的修为，就算断了一只爪子也能重新生长出来，但现在自己斩断一只爪子肯定会影响它的战斗力。

The thought that it had ended up like this just because it casually knocked down a few weapons filled it with rage that threatened to burn everything to ashes.

Li Tianzun was stunned.

He was just talking nonsense, trying to influence the minds of the Void Beast Celestial Venerables. Who would have thought that Su Mu would actually poison them!
Even the best alchemist in the mortal realm wouldn't find it easy to concoct a poison that would even be effective against a Celestial Venerable.

These poisons were definitely not something Su Mu concocted on the spot; this kid must have been prepared long ago.

He's so insidious!
幸好自己已经跟他化敌为友，否则跟这种人为敌真是太危险了。

With flexible and unpredictable methods and unfathomable strength, such an enemy is terrifying to even think about.

"Could it be that Su Mu is planning to use poison to turn the tide of the battle?"

Li Tianzun began to have doubts.

"You think you can change all this with poison?"

The thoughts of the Void Beast Celestial Venerable were exactly the same as those of Li Celestial Venerable. The difference between them was that they spoke them out directly.

"Poison can't harm you. But what about these?"

Su Mu said calmly, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of weapons fell like raindrops.

Suddenly, a thick black aura emanated from those weapons, instantly enveloping a large area of ​​the Void Beasts.

Screams came and went.

In an instant, countless Void Beasts roared and rolled on the ground.

"Hmph, how many Void Beasts can you kill with your methods?"

One of the Void Beast Celestial Venerables said disdainfully, "There are a million Void Beasts here. No matter how powerful your poison is, it will only cause us a little trouble and will not affect the overall situation."

"you're right."

Su Mu nodded and said.

"The poison I have can't change the situation, and I don't expect to kill you all with it."

"Are you trying to stall for time?"

Those Void Beast Celestial Venerables reacted instantly, their faces turning grim.

Su Mu's methods are truly impossible to guard against.

Where does this bastard get so many complicated ideas from?!

Those Void Beast Celestial Venerables cursed inwardly.

If you're not careful, this kid will get you into a trap.

Because of this poison, they temporarily suspended their attack, allowing Su Mu, that bastard, to delay for so long.

"Su Mu, your schemes and tricks end here."

One of the Void Beast Celestial Venerables said coldly, "Next, we will use all our power to kill you. No matter how you struggle, you cannot change your fate."

go to hell! "

It roared and lunged forward.

At the same time, the other Void Beast Celestial Venerables also made their moves again.

This time, none of the Void Beast Celestial Venerables held back. They even ignored the weapons Su Mu released, letting them tear wounds on their bodies.

Despite the risk of injury, those Void Beast Celestial Venerables finally rushed to Su Mu's front.

Rumble!
In an instant, the violent power had already engulfed Su Mu's figure.

"Su Mu!"

Li Tianzun shouted and tried to rush over to rescue Su Mu.

But he forgot that there were as many as nine Void Beast Celestial Venerables here.

Before he could even charge forward, four Void Beast Celestial Venerables had already surrounded him.

The two sides clashed again.

The war escalated in a brutal manner.

Even the disciples of the Azure Sky Sect began to fall.

The Void Beast army has gained an absolute advantage.

At this time, only an hour had passed since the Void Beast army launched its second attack.

It was clear that holding out for even half a day was no longer an option.

pedal!pedal!pedal!
Li Tianzun staggered back a few steps in mid-air, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He has reached his limit.

Facing five Celestial Venerable-level Void Beasts, his ability to hold on this long is already an extraordinary feat.

Even Li Tianzun himself didn't expect that he could hold on for so long.

Even if those two guys, Jue Tianzun and Lei Tianzun, came, they probably could only do this much.

If anyone ranks the Heavenly Venerables of the Yang Realm in the future, even if I, Old Li, don't rank first, I can at least rank second.

I just don't know if I'll ever see that day again.

Li Tianzun discovered that he had never been more sentimental in his entire life than he had been in a single day.

But thinking about it, there had never been a day in his life as dangerous as this.

Even when his cultivation level was not high, he was still an unparalleled genius of the Azure Sky Sect and had almost never encountered a life-or-death crisis like today.

"You can't deny getting old, young people are still the most resilient."

Li Tianzun glanced in Su Mu's direction.

The roar never stopped; clearly, Su Mu was still locked in combat with the four Void Beast Celestial Venerables.

He was already at his breaking point, but Su Mu was still persevering.

Li Tianzun is now truly convinced.

He had previously heard that Su Mu claimed to be no less powerful than Zhu Tongtian, the Lord of the Void Beasts, but he didn't believe it, after all, Zhu Tongtian was the legendary reincarnation of the Void Ancestor.

But Su Mu was just an ordinary Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator.

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, was able to kill the Heavenly Venerable. Could Su Mu do the same?

That's right, he later saw it with his own eyes: Su Mu, he can!

Even after witnessing Su Mu kill a Void Beast Celestial Venerable, Li Tianzun still felt that Su Mu was still inferior to Zhu Tongtian, the Lord of the Void Beasts.

But now, Li Tianzun thinks that what kind of bullshit is the reincarnation of the Void Ancestor, or the bullshit is the Lord of the Void Beasts? They are not even worthy of carrying Su Mu's shoes!

From now on, Li Tianzun will be Su Mu's most loyal supporter. If anyone dares to say that Su Mu is no good, Li Tianzun will be the first to rush up and criticize them.

What a joke, is Su Mu no good?
Try challenging four Void Beast Celestial Venerables by yourself!

Even I, Lao Li, couldn't handle it, but Su Mu did.

Who among you dares to say that you are stronger than Su Mu?

Just as Li Tianzun's thoughts were racing, a muffled thud was heard, and a figure flew backward to his side. It was none other than Su Mu.

Su Mu looked rather disheveled, covered in countless wounds. Despite his physique, those wounds had not yet healed and were still bleeding profusely.

"Are you OK?"

Seeing the nine Void Beast Heavenly Venerables pressing down in a fan shape, Li Tianzun quickly supported Su Mu and said in a deep voice.

Su Mu spat out a mouthful of blood, wincing in pain.

"That fucking hurts!"

Su Mu said, "But he won't die yet."

"What should we do? Keep fighting? Or retreat?"

Li Tianzun couldn't help but ask.

They have done their best in the fight.

Even if they really lose the territory guarded by the Martial Sect, they can have a clear conscience.

They still have some strength left. If they are determined to break through, it's hard to say about others, but he and Su Mu will definitely be able to escape.

However, once they leave, the disciples of the Martial Sect and the Azure Sky Sect will have no chance at all; total annihilation will be their only fate.

However, Li Tianzun didn't care about any of that.

"We've already paid such a high price, of course we can't leave."

Su Mudao.

Li Tianzun sighed, "Since that's the case, then I'll risk my life to accompany you to the end."

A sharp glint flashed in Li Tianzun's eyes as he stared intently at the nine Void Beast Heavenly Venerables pressing down on him.

The time has come to an end. Next, he will try to see if he can drag a Void Beast Celestial Venerable down with him!
Just as a dangerous aura emanated from Li Tianzun, Su Mu suddenly spoke.

"It's almost time."

Su Mu looked up at the sky.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a seven-colored beam of light appear in the originally dark sky.

The seven-colored beam of light descended from the sky, instantly transforming the ink-wash-colored Ruins into a seven-colored world.

Its diameter exceeds a hundred miles, and from a distance, it presents a breathtakingly beautiful sight. "This is—"

Li Tianzun's pupils suddenly contracted.

The nine Void Beast Celestial Venerables also turned their heads to look, their faces showing shock.

They asked almost instinctively,
"Su Mu, what have you done?!"

Anyone with half a brain would realize that the seven-colored beam of light is related to Su Mu.

From the very beginning, Su Mu had been trying to stall for time, and just now he even said that time was up.

If this seven-colored beam of light had nothing to do with him, why would he say that?

The nine Void Beast Celestial Venerables were both shocked and furious; they had been very careful to guard against Su Mu's schemes and tricks.

They were about to kill Su Mu.

Unexpectedly, this kind of accident still occurred.

"Forget everything else, kill Su Mu! As long as Su Mu is killed, all his schemes and tricks will fail!"

"A Void Beast Celestial Venerable roared."

"No!"

Another Void Beast Celestial Venerable quickly stopped his companion.

They now have a very good chance of killing Su Mu.

But the seven-colored beam of light was too terrifying, and they had no idea what was going on.

What if that seven-colored beam of light could threaten the safety of the Void Realm? If Su Mu were killed, what unpredictable consequences might occur?

"Su Mu, what exactly did you do?"

The Void Beast Celestial Venerable who had stopped his companion stared intently at Su Mu and said in a deep voice.

“I did nothing wrong. It is you from the Ruins Realm who have betrayed me.”

Su Mu revealed a mysterious smile and slowly said, "Perhaps even the heavens can't stand your behavior anymore."

This might be divine retribution.

If I were you, I would go back right now to check. Who knows, your stronghold might have already been destroyed by divine punishment.

By the way, where is Zhu Tongtian?
Could it be located beneath the seven-colored beam of light?

The faces of the nine Void Beast Celestial Venerables suddenly darkened.

That direction——

It is indeed the location of Zhu Tongtian's divine palace.

Could it really be divine retribution?

How is this possible?
I've never heard of Heaven punishing anyone for betrayal.

No, how did the Ruins Realm betray their promise?
They believe in deception in war!
Heaven must be bored and have nothing better to do than to send down divine punishment for something like this.

Deep down, the nine Void Beast Celestial Venerables were unwilling to believe these things, but Su Mu's confident assertion left them unsure of what to do.

“如果真的是天罚，那我们去不去也改变不了结果。”

It was the same Void Beast Celestial Venerable who had stopped his companion; it stared at Su Mu, its eyes flashing with ferocity.

"Moreover, your life or death, Su Mu, will absolutely not affect the Heavenly Punishment."

"In that case, we can continue killing you!"

The nine Void Beast Celestial Venerables exuded overwhelming ferocity. They stared intently at Su Mu, and if it weren't for a sliver of doubt in their hearts, they would have already attacked.

"That's very true."

Su Mu laughed heartily, "Of course I, Su Mu, cannot influence the Heavenly Punishment."

But you've forgotten one thing: besides divine punishment, there's also divine blessing.

How do you all know that Heaven won't bring us rewards?

"Are you scared out of your wits by us, Tianci? Where are you?"

One of the Void Beast Celestial Venerables couldn't help but sneer.

The idea of ​​divine punishment is absurd enough; it has never heard of any so-called divine gift.

Before it could finish speaking, it saw Su Mu raise his hand.

"Isn't that it?"

Su Mu said calmly.

In the distance, a Void Beast Celestial Venerable shot towards them like lightning.

"Gentlemen, Zhu Tongtian has ordered a withdrawal of troops."

Before the Void Beast Celestial Venerable even arrived, his voice had already reached the ears of the nine Void Beast Celestial Venerables.

"Withdrawal?"

The nine Heavenly Venerables exchanged glances, completely unaware of what had happened.

The army's attack on the Yang Realm was ordered personally by Zhu Tongtian.

Why has it suddenly changed its mind?

In the end what happened?
"Lord Wu Ma, what exactly is going on? Why are you suddenly ordering us to withdraw our troops?"

We are about to reclaim the lost territory, and Lord Yang Su Mu is right here. We will be able to kill him soon.

Once we kill him, the Yang Realm will be leaderless, and then the entire Yang Realm will be ours for the taking!
Withdrawing now would completely ruin this excellent situation!

"A Void Beast Celestial Venerable said urgently."

If it weren't for Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, killing Shenhou Tianzun before, it would be considering ignoring Zhu Tongtian's orders now.

"Yes, Venerable Wu Ma, what exactly happened? Why give up such a hard-won victory? Have you forgotten how dire the situation is in our Void Realm?"

Another Void Beast Celestial Venerable said.

The Void Beast Celestial Venerable who rushed towards them was none other than the Celestial Venerable of the Wuma Tribe, whose title was also Wuma.

A bitter smile flashed across his face. "Gentlemen, please stop asking. Just withdraw your troops as instructed. You'll find out what happened once you get back."

Seeing that Wu Ma Tianzun was being evasive, the faces of the Nine Great Void Beast Tianzun also turned very ugly.

"Heavenly Venerable Wu Ma, this is Lord Yang, Su Mu!"

A Void Beast Celestial Venerable roared in fury, "He stole ten thousand miles of territory from my Void Realm! He trampled the dignity of my Void Beasts underfoot!"
We could have killed him, but you're telling us to let him go!
If we are not given a reasonable explanation, we will absolutely not accept it!
Retreating now would not only give them a chance to regroup, but would also plunge our men into a life-or-death situation!

"Yes, even if they want to withdraw their troops, they should at least give us a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain it to our soldiers."

Another Void Beast Celestial Venerable said, "If you don't give us a reasonable explanation, then there's a saying in the Yang Realm: 'A general in the field may disobey orders!'"

Li Tianzun looked at the Void Beast Heavenly Venerables, then at Su Mu; he had more doubts than the nine Void Beast Heavenly Venerables.

what is happening?
How did the Shetland Sheepdog manage to do that?

How exactly did Su Mu manage to make the Void Realm retreat?

Li Tianzun racked his brains but couldn't figure out how all of this had happened.

He had been fighting alongside Su Mu the whole time, and he had seen every single move Su Mu made from beginning to end, but he just couldn't figure out how this scene had happened.

Just when they were about to achieve a great victory, the Void Realm actually chose to retreat?
Is it Li Tianzun who has gone mad, or is it the Void Realm that has gone mad?

This is completely illogical.

However, it would be incorrect to say that this matter had nothing to do with Su Mu.

Su Mu clearly knew what was going to happen, which is why he asked everyone to hold on for half a day.

The situation has already taken a turn for the better in less than half a day.

If it wasn't Su Mu who did it, how could Su Mu have known in advance what would happen?
If it weren't for the many enemies in front of him, Li Tianzun would have already asked Su Mu a question.

Now he could only suppress his doubts deep inside.

"My lords, it's not that I don't want to speak, but that I can't explain it clearly either."

Wu Ma Tianzun said with a wry smile, "Do you think I don't know the seriousness of the matter?"
But now we must withdraw our troops.

Retreating might cause trouble, but not retreating will only cause more trouble.

Zhu Tongtian said that he would kill Su Mu and then bring about the annihilation of the entire Void Realm.

Or we can make a strategic retreat and then look for an opportunity to take over the mortal realm. The choice is yours.

Wu Ma Tianzun's gaze swept over the nine Great Void Beast Tianzuns, and he slowly said, "Moreover, do you really think you can kill Su Mu today?"
"Even Zhu Tongtian, wielding the Wutian Staff, couldn't accomplish this, and you really think victory is already in your grasp?"

"How could it not be a sure thing?"

The nine Void Beast Celestial Venerables retorted defiantly, "We've already pushed him to this point. If you hadn't come, we could have killed him right here in half an hour at most!"

They acknowledged that the Shetland Sheepdogs were strong, but they were not pushovers either.

“My orders have been given. If you insist on going your own way, I can’t stop you, but you will have to bear all the consequences yourself.”

Wu Ma Tianzun said in a deep voice.

It took a step back, adopting an air of detachment.

The nine Void Beast Celestial Venerables exchanged glances, somewhat hesitant.

Su Mu and Li Tianzun were right in front of them, and given their relative strengths, their chances of winning were close to 100%.

But they dare not make a move now.

Wu Ma Tianzun made it very clear that if they do not retreat, the Ruins Realm may face annihilation.

If someone else said that, they definitely wouldn't believe it.

However, Wu Ma Tianzun has a very good reputation in the Void Realm. He has never lied, and nowadays Wu Ma Tianzun is very close to Zhu Tongtian. Zhu Tongtian entrusts many important matters to Wu Ma Tianzun.

In a sense, Wu Ma Tianzun is like the chief steward of the Void Realm.

Previously, Wu Ma Tianzun was a staunch advocate of war, believing that unifying the Saha world was the only way out for the Void Realm.

It is impossible for it to abandon the Void Realm to help the Yang Realm.

Unless there is truly no other way, Wu Ma Tianzun would never come to make them retreat at this time.

"Let's kill Su Mu first, then retreat!"

After hesitating for a long time, a Void Beast Celestial Venerable said through gritted teeth.

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Before Wu Ma Tianzun could speak, Su Mu said calmly, "You've been talking for so long, why don't I run away?"
Do you think I don't know you have the power to kill me?
Or do you think my legs are just for show, that I can't escape?

"I said, retreat, now, immediately, right now."

Wu Ma Tianzun ignored Su Mu and said seriously, "Don't cause any more trouble."

"I'm not reconciled!"

The Void Beast Celestial Venerable roared in anger.

"Believe me, there will be a chance."

Wu Ma Tianzun said in a deep voice, "With the strength of our Void Realm, it won't be long before we make a comeback. At that time, no one will be able to save them."

I swear, when the time comes, I will join you in killing Su Mu!

Wu Ma Tianzun glanced at Su Mu, his eyes filled with sharp killing intent.

Su Mu remained calm. "We'll wait and see. I'll be there anytime."

"withdraw!"

Although the nine Void Beast Celestial Venerables wished they could kill Su Mu immediately, they still retained some rationality and made a difficult final decision.

As soon as the Nine Heavenly Venerables spoke, the army of Void Beasts below, though somewhat unwilling, could only retreat, leaving behind only the wounded Tian Cangchen and the others.

Tian Cangchen and the others were completely baffled, wondering what the Void Beast army was up to and why they had retreated. (End of Chapter)
