The First Marquis of Daxuan

hum!
An invisible force spread through the air, then quickly merged into the ground and finally disappeared.

Su Mu's face was slightly pale, and there were even visible beads of sweat on his forehead.

Su Mu is the strongest body-refining martial artist in the world today; his physical body has long been incredibly powerful.

Under normal circumstances, he would never sweat.

But now, beads of sweat are even streaming down his cheeks.

It's clear that he's exhausted to a certain extent.

Taking a deep breath, Su Mu's face regained some color.

Slowly standing up, Su Mu flew towards the next location.

More than a month has passed since he infiltrated the Void Realm.

For more than a month, he had been traveling around the Void Realm, constantly setting up the divine weapons of destiny that he had personally crafted in various locations.

If it were merely about placing the divine weapon of destiny, Su Mu wouldn't be this exhausted.

The key point is that the divine weapons he placed were all crafted by him personally during this period.

For more than a month, he worked tirelessly, constantly forging divine weapons, and he even forged more than ten at a time.

To ensure the success rate of forging the divine weapon of destiny, he was always in a state of high tension.

Even for Su Mu, this was an extremely difficult task.

His body is now almost at its limit.

But he can't stop.

More than a month has passed, and during this time he has lost contact with the mortal realm.

He didn't know the extent of the war between the Yang Realm and the Ruins Realm.

However, judging from the endless stream of Void Beasts rushing to the battlefield, Su Mu could still be certain that the Void Realm had not yet achieved complete victory.

But he knew very well that the mortal realm couldn't hold out for long.

The arrangements he made before leaving the Yang Realm could hold off the Void Realm for a while, but the overall strength of the Yang Realm was ultimately no match for that of the Void Realm.

In the end, war comes down to the strength and resources that determine the outcome.

The only hope for the mortal realm now lies with him.

"Ning Hongchen and Mao Jiu have succeeded. There are now 280 Heavenly Fate Divine Weapons in place. Only the last 80 are needed to complete the 360 ​​Heavenly Fate Divine Weapons."

Then I will be able to awaken the Great Celestial Venerable.

As Su Mu sped along, he thought to himself.

At the same time, he was holding the Yin-Yang Cauldron in his hand, which was burning with raging flames, and more than ten weapon prototypes were floating and sinking inside.

Su Mu gritted his teeth and persisted in circulating his power.

…………

Several days later, Su Mu stood up from another place.

He stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

If there were any outsiders present at this moment, they would be absolutely shocked to see this.

It's absolutely unbelievable that Su Mu, whose physical body is arguably the strongest in the world, almost tripped while walking.

"So, it turns out that my body also has its limits."

Su Mu gave a wry smile.

He thought he had reached a certain level of strength, but now he realizes that he is still not strong enough.

In just two months, his body was already on the verge of collapse from exhaustion.

"I am the strongest physical martial artist in the world, but my physical strength is still not enough."

Su Mu smiled bitterly to himself.

"Three hundred pieces."

Su Mu sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, and tried to recover his strength.

Even if he's in a hurry, he needs to rest now.

Otherwise, he would really collapse before all 360 divine weapons of destiny were in place.

He's gone, what will happen to the remaining divine weapons of destiny?
In the world today, no one but him can forge a divine weapon of destiny.

"very soon."

Su Mu comforted himself, "In ten days at most, I will be able to forge the remaining sixty Heavenly Fate Divine Weapons, and then all three hundred and sixty Heavenly Fate Divine Weapons will be in place."

He put aside his worries about the mortal realm and began to close his eyes and circulate his energy.

His depleted strength gradually began to recover, and the paleness on his face slowly faded.

He didn't know how much time had passed when Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes.

His face darkened, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"I thought we would be discovered by the Void Beasts, but I didn't expect to be discovered so quickly."

Su Mu thought coldly to himself.

He plans to deploy 360 divine weapons of destiny throughout the Void Realm, which requires him to travel to almost every corner of the Void Realm.

The Void Realm is now overcrowded, with Void Beasts gathering and living everywhere.

He discussed with Ning Hongchen, Mao Jiu, and others that they should try not to disturb the Void Beasts when setting up the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon.

But they also knew that even if they tried their best, they could only try not to disturb the Void Beast.

In fact, they might be hit by the Void Beast at any time.

To this end, they also prepared many different contingency plans.

Su Mu hadn't expected that Ning Hongchen and Mao Jiu hadn't been exposed, but he himself had been exposed first.

He felt somewhat helpless, but there was nothing he could do about it.

His energy expenditure was too great. If he didn't find a way to recover his strength, he wouldn't be able to continue forging the Heavenly Weapon, and their plan would completely fail.

But to regain his strength, he needs to practice breathing exercises, which will inevitably cause some disturbance.

It would be difficult for the Void Beast not to notice such a commotion.

"The Void Realm invaded the Yang Realm because they didn't have enough space. Now, all the usable areas in the Void Realm have been occupied by Void Beasts. It's already incredibly lucky that I was only discovered by a Void Beast now."

Su Mu thought to himself.

Even if he were caught, he could not leave the Ruins Realm.

"Now it all comes down to who's faster."

A cold glint flashed deep in Su Mu's eyes.

Just then, dozens of Void Beasts appeared not far away, and they spotted Su Mu at a glance.

next moment.

Before the Void Beasts could launch an attack, Su Mu's figure vanished into thin air.

When Su Mu reappeared, he was already in front of the Void Beasts. With a flick of his sword, thousands of sword lights crashed down.

A few breaths later, the scene returned to calm. Su Mu had disappeared without a trace, as had the Void Beasts, leaving only bits of flesh scattered on the ground.

…………

"Is Su Mu in the Ruins Realm?"

Inside the divine palace of Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, Zhu Tongtian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"No wonder he hasn't made a move all this time. Given his style, he should have acted long ago. Now I see!"

Zhu Tongtian's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said coldly, "He actually came here."

What is he trying to do?

"Whatever he wants to do, we must stop him."

Wu Ma Tianzun said in a deep voice.

"Why should we stop him? He's incredibly audacious, daring to come to our Ruins Realm at this time. How can we let him leave alive?"

He was lucky last time, and he managed to leave alive. We can't give him that chance again this time.

Another Void Beast Celestial Venerable said coldly.

The fact that Su Mu escaped from the Void Realm last time was a disgrace to them, the Void Beast Celestial Venerables.

If Su Mu hides in the Yang Realm and doesn't show himself, then they will have to wait until they completely conquer the Yang Realm to take revenge.

Now that Su Mu has actually walked right into their trap and come to the Ruins Realm on his own initiative, how could they let go of such a golden opportunity?
"Zhu Tongtian, give me some men, I'll go and bring back his head!"

"Chenlong Tianzun of the Chenlong Tribe said in a deep voice."

It is one of the strongest among the Void Beast Celestial Venerables. It had been in seclusion cultivating for a long time and did not make a move when Su Mu ventured into the Void Realm last time.

After hearing about this, it gave the Void Beast Celestial Venerable, who was present at the time, a good scolding.

It felt that if it had been there at the time, how could a mere Su Mu have been so arrogant in the Ruins Realm?

There is now a legend that Su Mu, the Lord of Yang Realm, and Zhu Tongtian, the Lord of the Void Beasts, are not Heavenly Venerables, but are even more powerful than Heavenly Venerables.

It is said that both of them possess the power to slay a Celestial Venerable.

Chenlong Tianzun was not convinced.

However, Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, is one of our own, so we cannot challenge him casually.

But Yang Zhu Su Mu is fine.

The two sides were enemies from the start, and any of the Void Beasts wanted to kill Su Mu.

It was one thing to not have the opportunity before, but now that the opportunity has come knocking, how could Heavenly Venerable Chenlong let it slip by?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it wants to show the world that the Celestial Venerable is indeed the Celestial Venerable, and who can possibly look down on him?
Furthermore, there are people in the Void Realm who can subdue Lord Yang, Su Mu!
After a moment of contemplation, Zhu Tongtian, the Lord of the Void Beasts, slowly said, "I still need to stay in the Divine Palace and command the army, so I do need someone to deal with Su Mu."

However, Su Mu is no ordinary person. He must have some important business to attend to in the Void Realm at this time. Killing him won't be so easy.

"If you, Celestial Venerable Chenlong, are willing to take action, that would be for the best. With your strength, you would surely be able to easily take Su Mu's head."

"Wait for my good news."

Chenlong Tianzun cupped his hands and turned to leave.

"Chenlong Heavenly Venerable, please wait."

Zhu Tongtian, the Lord of the Void Beasts, called out to it, "Although a mere Su Mu may not be a match for you, Heavenly Venerable Chenlong, the saying goes, 'A lion hunts a rabbit,' so Heavenly Venerable Chenlong, you should still bring more men."

Therefore, I will have several celestial beings accompany you.

"It doesn't matter."

Chenlong Tianzun said nonchalantly.

Before Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, could finish speaking, it had already transformed into a streak of light and shot out of the Divine Palace.

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, pondered for a moment and then gave a few instructions.

A moment later, several Void Beast Celestial Venerables also left the Divine Palace.

…………

A streak of light flashed across the sky.

Countless Void Beasts below looked up, their faces filled with confusion.

They felt as if something colorful was flying through the air.

But they saw nothing at all.

Is it an illusion?
Unbeknownst to them, the creature flying overhead was Su Mu.

Su Mu had already pushed his speed to the limit.

He knew his whereabouts had been exposed and that the Void Realm would soon launch a siege against him.

The only thing he can do now is to place the 360 ​​divine weapons of destiny in place before the Void Beast catches up with him.

It's now a race to see who can go the fastest.

He finished placing the 360 ​​divine weapons of destiny first, or the Void Beasts of the Void Realm surrounded and attacked him first.

Speaking of which, since his whereabouts were exposed, Su Mu has encountered several more waves of Void Beasts, all of which he has swiftly killed.

But the more Void Beasts he killed, the more thoroughly his whereabouts were exposed.

Fortunately, Ning Hongchen, Mao Jiu, and the others had already completed their mission and left.

Otherwise, Su Mu would still be worried about their safety.

Moreover, because the two realms were at war, a large number of Void Beast Celestial Venerables had gone to the front lines, leaving the Void Realm somewhat empty, which gave Su Mu an opportunity.

In recent days, while evading the pursuit of the Void Beasts, he also forged several batches of Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapons.

To date, the number of Heavenly Mandate Divine Soldiers in place has reached 350!

In other words, Su Mu only needs the final ten Heavenly Weapons to complete his mission. He has already forged these ten Heavenly Weapons, and now he is racing against time to place them in their proper positions.

Just as Su Mu was speeding along, the road ahead suddenly went dark.

Immediately afterwards, a colossal figure appeared in front of them, opening its mouth and letting out a roar.

The sound waves transformed into a visible attack, rushing towards Su Mu.

At some point, all sounds in the world seemed to disappear.

Even before the sound waves arrived, Su Mu already felt a sense of suffocation.

He stopped involuntarily.

Swish!
With a flick of his sword, Su Mu unleashed the Nine Peaks Sword Domain, transforming it into a colossal sword that swiftly severed the sonic waves.

Amidst the deafening roar, it seemed as if a crack had been cleaved open in the sky.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mu continued to charge forward, and at the same time, he unleashed a sword strike that cleaved the heavens, slashing at the Void Beast blocking his path.

Void Beast Celestial Venerable!

This was the first Void Beast Celestial Venerable to catch up with him after his whereabouts were exposed.

He knew this day would come sooner or later, so he was mentally prepared. Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed all his power, adopting a posture as if he wanted to perish together with the Void Beast Celestial Venerable.

Chenlong Tianzun looked at Su Mu rushing towards him with a look of surprise in his eyes.

The next moment, it almost instinctively dodged to the side.

This is the fighting instinct of top-tier fighters.

Su Mu wanted to die together with Chenlong Tianzun right from the start. Chenlong Tianzun wasn't stupid; why would it want to die with Su Mu?

Therefore, temporarily hiding and then waiting for an opportunity to act is the best choice.

Before the thought even crossed his mind, the body of Chenlong Tianzun had already made the correct response.

As Chenlong Tianzun dodged, Su Mu's figure did not pause at all, grazing past Chenlong Tianzun's body and flying forward, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Chenlong Tianzun was taken aback.

What do you mean?
Su Mu ran away?

As the Lord of the Yang Realm, one of the strongest beings in the world, how could he shamelessly run away?

Was he just putting on a show of wanting to die together to fool himself, with the real purpose of escaping?
"Su Mu!"

Chenlong Tianzun's eyes suddenly turned red.

It felt that its dignity as a top powerhouse had been insulted.

That bastard Su Mu actually fled without a fight!
Does that bastard have any dignity whatsoever as a strong person?

"You can't escape!"

Chenlong Tianzun roared, and with a swift movement, he chased after the direction where Su Mu had disappeared.

…………

puff!
A ray of light pierced the ground and vanished instantly.

"Nine more!"

Su Mu thought to himself, then glanced back at the Heavenly Venerable Chenlong who was approaching at an incredible speed.

He looked helpless.

This Heavenly Venerable Chenlong kept chasing after him, relentlessly pursuing him.

He fled, and the other side chased.

Both were among the strongest in the world, and their speeds were almost equal.

Su Mu couldn't shake off his opponent, but it wouldn't be easy for the opponent to catch up with Su Mu either.

Su Mu did not want to get entangled with the other party, so he fled for his life while arriving at the location where he placed the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon.

After placing one divine weapon in the correct position, he continued on to the next one.

It's unclear whether it was because Su Mu's methods were too subtle, or because Chenlong Tianzun's attention was entirely focused on Su Mu.

In any case, Heavenly Venerable Chenlong paid no attention to the light that Su Mu had driven into the ground.

It may have noticed, but it didn't take it seriously.

Now its only thought is to kill Su Mu.

Kill this shameless scoundrel who doesn't act like a strongman!
"Su Mu, if you're a man, then stop and fight me fair and square!"
"I promise you, I will give you the chance to fight one-on-one!"

The voice of Chenlong Tianzun came from afar behind.

Su Mu smiled with amusement.

This is a war between two worlds, do you think this is child's play?

I'd have to be out of my mind to stop and fight you one-on-one.

Su Mu ignored the voice of Chenlong Tianzun and continued forward.

Not long after, he once again sent a ray of light into the ground.

"There are eight more items."

He thought to himself.

In the instant the Heavenly Weapon was placed, Heavenly Venerable Chenlong suddenly reduced the distance between the two to a hundred feet.

Even from a distance of a hundred feet, the Heavenly Venerable Chenlong had already launched a fierce attack.

"You can't escape. I'm going to kill you!"

Along with the attack, Chenlong Tianzun roared.

"Boom!"

Su Mu crossed his arms and blocked in front of him.

A series of loud noises rang out, and Su Mu's figure flew out like a kite with a broken string.

In that instant, the distance between him and Chenlong Tianzun increased to over a hundred feet.

The Heavenly Venerable Chenlong was so angry that he went mad.

It let out a deafening roar and slashed downwards with its claws.

Boom!

It actually grabbed the ground and lifted it up.

A piece of land, hundreds of feet in diameter, was grabbed by it, like a small mountain, and slammed down on Su Mu.

Su Mu's pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed deep in his eyes.

He almost thought that the Heavenly Venerable Chenlong had seen through the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon.

However, it seems that it has not yet discovered the secret of the Divine Weapon of Destiny.

Nevertheless, this move of itss struck Su Mu's weakness precisely.

The Heavenly Weapon that Su Mu had just put down was grabbed along with the land by Chenlong Heavenly Venerable.

Due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, Su Mu had no way to continue his escape.

With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Su Mu flicked his sword.

With a deafening roar, thousands of rays of light shot out from within that piece of land, instantly shattering it into pieces. A divine weapon of destiny flew out from within and hovered in front of Su Mu.

"Why aren't you running away? Did you think you could ambush me by hiding the divine weapon underground?"

The Heavenly Venerable Chenlong rushed towards Su Mu with a strong wind, and a fierce attack fell down on him.

"You saw right through me."

Su Mu chuckled coldly twice.

"Since a sneak attack failed, I'll kill you head-on!"

Su Mu secretly rejoiced, thankfully Chenlong Tianzun thought he buried the divine weapon underground as a sneak attack.

But this kind of thing can only happen once, not twice.

Chenlong Tianzun has not yet discovered the secret of the Heavenly Weapon, but if Su Mu continues not to fight back, Chenlong Tianzun will definitely find something amiss.

The best way to avoid its suspicion is to kill it!

Su Mu's eyes were filled with surging killing intent, and he attacked without holding back.

The laws of heaven and earth, the Gui Cang domain, the Jiuyi Sword Domain...

He unleashed his most ferocious attack in an instant.

"Well done!"

Seeing Su Mu begin to fight back, Chenlong Tianzun was not afraid at all; instead, he laughed excitedly.

"Today I'll show you just how big the gap is between you and the Celestial Venerable!"

The Heavenly Venerable Chenlong spewed out a thick black mist, which transformed into a hideous ghost face and opened its mouth to bite down on Su Mu.

Rumble!
Amidst the deafening roar, the energy surged and churned.

In an instant, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.

The Void Beasts that had originally wanted to get closer to watch the spectacle were all terrified by this power and fled in all directions.

Those who were even slightly slower were shredded to dust by that violent force.

Su Mu attacked without any restraint, and Chenlong Tianzun didn't take the weak Void Beasts below seriously either.

Faced with such a horrific situation, the Void Beasts dared not linger any longer and scattered like birds and beasts.

For a moment, the area within several miles seemed to become a vacuum, with only Su Mu and Chenlong Tianzun fighting there.

Just then, several Void Beast Celestial Venerables stopped in mid-air.

They watched the battlefield from afar, their expressions becoming extremely solemn.

"I remember when Su Mu last broke into the Void Realm, he wasn't this strong, was he?"

"A Void Beast Celestial Venerable said in a deep voice."

"No."

Another Void Beast Celestial Venerable affirmed, "If he hadn't used the weapon-forging techniques to control Zhu Tongtian's Wutian Staff last time, he would never have been able to escape based on his own cultivation level alone."

Last time he faced the Celestial Venerable, he could barely hold his own.

"How long has it been? He's already able to fight on par with Chenlong Tianzun?"

A Void Beast Celestial Venerable said, "He's different from Zhu Tongtian. Zhu Tongtian only recovered his cultivation, but he truly improved. Just what kind of talent does he have..."

"This talent is terrifying. If he were given a few hundred more years, who in the world could be his match?"

One of the Void Beast Celestial Venerables said, "Fortunately, we have found him now. This time, we absolutely cannot let him leave the Void Realm alive!"

Otherwise, I have a feeling that our Void Realm might fall into his hands.

"He can't escape."

The Void Beast Celestial Venerable sneered, "With the Dragon Celestial Venerable and the rest of us, he is doomed this time."

"Don't underestimate him. Don't forget, last time he managed to turn the tables against ten Void Beast Celestial Venerables."

"The Void Beast Celestial Venerable reminded his companions."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's all get started."

A Void Beast Celestial Venerable said, "Why bother with one-on-one combat with him!"

Before the Void Beast Celestial Venerable could finish speaking, he had already flown away.

The other Void Beast Celestial Venerables also made their moves.

Just then, Chenlong Tianzun slapped a divine weapon away with his claw. The weapon landed directly on the ground and disappeared without a trace.

"You're trying to gang up on me? Grandpa's not playing with you anymore!"

Su Mu seemed to have no time to retrieve his divine weapon. He shouted and exchanged a move with Chenlong Tianzun. Taking advantage of the momentum, he flew backward and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the distance.

Chenlong Tianzun turned his head and glared angrily at the Void Beast Tianzun who had come to provide support.

"What are you doing here? If it weren't for you, I would have already killed Su Mu!"
Now look what happened, you scared him away!

"Chenlong Tianzun said angrily."

The other Void Beast Celestial Venerables exchanged glances, inwardly grumbling, "What does this have to do with us? It's your fault for failing to keep him here."

If you had managed to hold him back for even a moment, we would have already surrounded him.

"Chenlong Heavenly Venerable, if we don't chase him now, he'll really get away."

"A Void Beast Celestial Venerable said."

Chenlong Heavenly Venerable snorted coldly, transformed into a whirlwind, and gave chase, with the other Void Beast Heavenly Venerables following closely behind. (End of Chapter)
