The First Marquis of Daxuan

Only the sound of flames burning echoed in the void.

Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Yuan Huaizhou, and the others all stared wide-eyed, not daring to utter a sound.

Just now.

So many of them were forced to retreat step by step by those two Void Beasts.

But as soon as Su Mu made his move, he directly stuffed the two Void Dark Beasts into the three-legged giant cauldron.

Accompanied by flames burning.

A loud bang.

A beam of seven-colored light shot out from the three-legged cauldron and soared into the sky.

All the experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm couldn't help but show curiosity.

Has Su Mu finally completed the weapon he forged?
This weapon was finally successfully forged by using two Void Dark Beasts at the mid-stage of the Primordial Realm as sacrifices.

What kind of weapon would this be?

Everyone revered Su Mu as a god, and now they were only filled with curiosity about the weapons that Su Mu had personally forged.

No one should have thoughts that shouldn't exist.

Before today, some people were not entirely convinced of Su Mu's abilities.

Their initial resentment has now completely vanished.

Even the powerful Void Beasts were no match for Su Mu in a single move.

The strength that Su Mu displayed had definitely reached the high level of the Primordial Beginning Realm.

There's nothing shameful about following such a strong person!
Rumble.

Amidst everyone's expectant gaze.

A deafening roar came from the three-legged cauldron.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of light shot out.

The moment the light appeared, it seemed to try to disappear into the void.

But Su Mu was even faster.

Su Mu reached out and grabbed the beam of light in his hand.

With a slight tremor of his arm, the light gradually faded.

As everyone could see, Su Mu was holding a banner in his hand.

The banner also bore the shadows of two Void Beasts.

"This is--"

Curiosity appeared on the faces of all the experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm.

They never expected that Su Mu would eventually forge such a unique weapon.

This type of banner weapon is extremely rare.

"Pangu Banner".

Su Mu said, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

His efforts were worthwhile; the Pangu Banner was finally completed.

And the results were even better than I had imagined.

The Pangu Banner directly incorporated the two Void Dark Beasts into it, allowing it to be released to fight enemies when needed.

If Su Mu encounters even more powerful Void Beasts in the future, he can continue to recruit them.

The power of this ancient banner will only grow stronger.

Using the Pangu Banner to contain the dark beasts of the void sounds like something out of a demonic or heretical sect.

However, for a powerful figure like Su Mu, there is no distinction between good and evil weapons; it all depends on how they are used.

Even disregarding the Void Dark Beast refined within the Pangu Banner, the Pangu Banner itself is an incredibly powerful weapon.

It can be said to be the culmination of Su Mu's weapon-making skills.

Once this weapon was forged, more than half of the points needed to upgrade the Primordial True Form Technique were immediately available.

"Pangu Banner?"

Zhao Baiqi and others had much to think about.

After a moment, Zhao Baiqi said with a serious expression.

"Sect Master Su, your Pangu Banner contains the meaning of chaos, which has already attracted the attention of the Void Dark Beast."

Besides the two Void Beasts you subdued, there will likely be other Void Beasts coming.

A hint of worry flashed across Zhao Baiqi's face.

Su Mu is strong, but there are also high-level beings in the Primordial Realm among the Void Dark Beasts.

Moreover, the number of Void Beasts is extremely large.

From ancient times to the present, no one has ever figured out exactly how many Void Beasts there are.

However, there was a time when someone was attacked by hundreds of Void Beasts on the Heavenly Road, and in the end, no remains were found.

The ancient banner that Su Mu forged was no ordinary weapon.

It actually attracted the covetous eyes of the Void Beasts.

As the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

Su Mu is probably now a hot commodity in the eyes of those Void Dark Beasts.

"I suggest we set off immediately and head towards the Sky Road."

Zhao Baiqi said in a deep voice, "Furthermore, Sect Master Su, you'd better put this ancient banner away."

"A Void Beast?"

Su Mu's lips curled up slightly as he slowly said, "That's exactly what I was looking for."

The Pangu Banner only has two Void Beasts, which is rather lonely.

Zhao Baiqi and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

What does Su Mu mean by this?
Is he perhaps trying to deliberately lure out the Void Beast?
This is so unexpected.

"Sect Master Su, you seem to have some misunderstandings about the Void Dark Beast."

Zhao Baiqi said with a wry smile.

He discovered that since he met Su Mu, all of Su Mu's actions had been beyond his expectations.

He could no longer see through Su Mu at all.

"The Void Beasts are born in darkness."

Their numbers are virtually endless.

Zhao Baiqi said in a deep voice, "No one has ever dared to provoke them."

If the Void Beasts didn't dislike light and mostly lurked in darkness, this universe would already be their domain.

"so what?"

Su Mudao.

Zhao Baiqi: "..."

so what?

That means we shouldn't provoke them so easily.

Who knows what kind of Void Beast might emerge from the darkness?

Why provoke them for no reason?

But then again.

Su Mu seems different from them.

The strength of most Void Dark Beasts is between the early and middle stages of the Primordial Realm.

If they were to encounter Void Beasts, it would naturally be a bitter battle.

But to Su Mu, those Void Beasts were no different from chicks.

Even on the Heavenly Road, Void Dark Beasts with strength reaching the high level of the Primordial Realm are not common.

"Fine, do whatever you want."

Zhao Baiqi said somewhat dejectedly.

He suddenly realized that all the rules he knew were meaningless to Su Mu.

With cultivation levels as high as Su Mu's, one can create their own rules.

What are the taboos?

That applies only to the weak.

Su Mu could run rampant without any restraint.

"Sect Leader Su, please feel free to give us any instructions on what you need us to do."

Huo Tu shouted, "If I do a good job, could you forge a Pangu Banner for me in the future?"

Huo Tu's face was full of envy.

Who wouldn't like a powerful weapon capable of sealing away Void Beasts?

All the experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm looked at Huo Tu with disdain.

They despised Huo Tu's shamelessness, but they also secretly envied it.

They want such a powerful weapon too.

But then again, is this powerful one the Pangu Banner or Su Mu?

Just now, Su Mu personally refined those two Void Dark Beasts into the Pangu Banner.

From beginning to end, Su Mu never used the Pangu Banner.

That was a complete crushing defeat in terms of realm and strength.

Although this Pangu Banner can seal the Void Dark Beast, no one really knows how powerful it is.

"you--"

Su Mu suddenly raised his head, looked in one direction, and slowly said, "You guys protect the Great Thousand World, don't let my battle with the Void Dark Beast affect it."

Before he could finish speaking...

Ripples suddenly appeared in the void.

The void was filled with countless stars, and between these stars was darkness.

The ripples were like wrinkles squeezed out of a dark space.

boom!
A claw covering an area of ​​a thousand feet emerged from the darkness, reaching out to grab Su Mu from afar.

The pupils of Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Yuan Huaizhou, and others contracted.

This claw is about the same size as the two Void Beasts from before.

Just how enormous was this Void Beast?
Su Mu's Pangu Banner has truly attracted an extraordinary being.

Instead of rushing forward to help, they all stepped back.

As experts at the Primordial Realm, they knew very well what they should do.

Such a clash between powerful individuals, far exceeding their expectations, meant that if they didn't stay far away, they would be caught in the crossfire.

Anyway, Su Mu said that they should protect the Great Thousand World, so they felt at ease leaving.

Although they had retreated to the outside of the Great Thousand World, everyone's eyes remained fixed on Su Mu.

As the enormous claw descended, Su Mu's expression remained unchanged.

He suddenly shook the Pangu Banner in his hand. In an instant...

A surge of chaotic energy rose into the sky.

The Pangu Banner grew to cover the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Splash!

The sound of flags being unfurled reached everyone's ears.

In an instant, the Pangu Banner enveloped the giant claw.

A painful scream echoed from the void, making everyone's eardrums ache.

A tremendous sound echoed in the air.

The ancient banner kept bulging and denting.

It was clear that the Void Beast trapped inside was attacking it relentlessly.

No matter how the opponent attacked, the Pangu Banner remained undamaged and instead continued to shrink.

The experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm were dumbfounded.

Brutal, yet elegant.

Su Mu stood with his hands behind his back in the void, and with just a wave of the Pangu Banner, he had already trapped that incredibly powerful Void Dark Beast.

Those who had initially doubted the power of the Pangu Banner now had no more doubts.

Even such a powerful Void Dark Beast was trapped by the Pangu Banner; if it were them, they probably wouldn't be able to escape either.

Su Mu has truly been refreshing their perceptions time and time again.

They all discovered that since they met Su Mu, their common sense, which they had taken for granted, was constantly changing.

They thought that such a remote and impoverished place in the vast world could not produce top-notch experts, but a Su Mu emerged from here.

They thought Su Mu's strength was just so-so, but Su Mu easily defeated Qian Gong Liu, who had broken through to the middle stage of the Primordial Realm.

When they thought Su Mu was also at the mid-stage of the Primordial Realm, Su Mu crushed the Void Dark Beast at the mid-stage of the Primordial Realm with a single move.

They doubted Su Mu's weapon-forging skills, but Su Mu forged the Pangu Banner right in front of them.

They doubted the power of the Pangu Banner, and as a result...

In short, everything related to Su Mu was completely unexpected.

They all secretly made a decision in their hearts: from now on, they would not speculate or gamble on anything related to Su Mu.

For someone like Su Mu, simply choosing to believe is enough.

With this thought in mind, everyone felt relieved.

One of the experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm even waved his hand and took out bottles of wine, distributing them to everyone.

Some people even took out snacks to go with their drinks.

The powerful cultivators at the Primordial Beginning Realm actually started eating sunflower seeds on the spot, becoming mere spectators.

"I bet this Void Beast won't last an hour."

"An hour? You think too highly of it. I'll bet half an hour."

"Let's gamble! Place your bets!"

The atmosphere at the scene started to go astray, and even betting odds appeared.

The Void Beasts, which were originally terrifying, were now being treated as a spectacle by them.

They were even somewhat hoping that more Void Beasts would arrive.

It is a rare opportunity to witness a high-level expert of the Primordial Realm fighting against a Void Dark Beast.

Just as everyone was excitedly discussing it.

A loud bang.

The Pangu Banner has returned to Su Mu's hands.

The banner fluttered, revealing the figure of a third Void Beast.

It was an old ape with a hunched back, and even on the Pangu Banner, it still exuded a terrifying aura.

The strength of this old ape-beast is probably already very close to the high-level of the Primordial Beginning Realm.

Sure enough, Su Mu once again created a miraculous skill.

In less than half an hour, Su Mu didn't even have to take action himself. He only used the Pangu Banner to subdue a Void Dark Beast that was almost at the high level of the Primordial Realm.

"What a magnificent Pangu Banner!"

Zhao Baiqi sighed, "This Pangu Banner itself is probably equivalent to a mid-stage Tai Chu Realm expert."

"The power of this Pangu Banner should be related to the number of dark beasts refined within it."

Chi Mingtang pondered, "If the Pangu Banner has refined hundreds or thousands of Void Dark Beasts, once they are released, the power will be unimaginable."

All the experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm showed thoughtful expressions.

Holding the Pangu Banner is like becoming a great general, commanding countless soldiers.

At the sound of a command, thousands of soldiers would charge.

This is something that ordinary weapons cannot compare to.

"Don't even think about it. Sect Master Su's strength is already unbelievably high. With the addition of this Pangu Banner, we probably won't be able to catch up with him in this lifetime."

"A powerful expert at the Primordial Beginning Realm said."

"so what?"

Huo Tu curled his lip and said, "So what if we can't catch up?"
To witness the birth of a legendary powerhouse like Su Mu is already an opportunity for us.

At the very least, we can regard him as a guide on our path of martial arts.

Looking at him, we know where we're headed.

"You know what, I suddenly feel that if we follow Sect Master Su, we might actually be able to reach the Heavenly Realm."

Another expert at the Primordial Beginning Realm said, "Based on my own strength alone, I don't actually have much confidence."

But following a powerful figure like Sect Master Su, I feel that perhaps I really could survive and reach the Heavenly Realm.

Everyone wore expressions of deep agreement.

While they were talking.

suddenly.

A powerful surge of energy emanated from Su Mu, who was in the distance.

Everyone was stunned.

"this--"

Zhao Baiqi stammered, "Su Mu's cultivation has broken through again?"

They were all experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm, so how could they not see that the changes in Su Mu were clearly due to a breakthrough in his cultivation?

"He didn't do anything, he just subdued a Void Beast, and his cultivation broke through?"

The faces of all the experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm were filled with disbelief.

You must know that Su Mu is a powerful expert at the high level of the Primordial Beginning Realm.

For these powerful individuals, advancing to a higher level is far more difficult than for them.

Even for them, improving their cultivation level is extremely difficult.

Which of these people hasn't experienced decades of stagnation?

But now, Su Mu has actually broken through.

The high-level expert of the Primordial Realm broke through in such a magnificent way.

No one even knew what had happened.

All they knew was that Su Mu had truly broken through.

"If I break through to the high-level of the Primordial Realm, wouldn't that mean I'll reach the peak of the Primordial Realm?"

Zhao Baiqi murmured, "The Primordial Realm is at its peak—"

Everyone fell silent.

At the peak of the Primordial Realm, one should be considered invincible outside the Heavenly Realm.

…………

Su Mu was unaware of what everyone was thinking; he was actually quite surprised himself.

He never expected that refining the Void Beast into the Pangu Banner would actually bring him points.

Upon closer reflection, the power of the Pangu Banner had indeed increased, which could be considered as a task he had completed as a weapon forger.

The power of a Void Dark Beast, which is infinitely close to the high-level of the Primordial Realm, undoubtedly enhances the power of the Pangu Banner.

With just this one upgrade, he accumulated enough points to upgrade the Primordial True Form Technique.

With enough points, Su Mu naturally didn't hesitate at all.

He immediately chose to upgrade.

In any case, being in the void, he didn't need to worry about his breakthrough in cultivation causing damage to the Great Thousand World.

As a massive amount of points disappeared, the power within him began to rise and change once again.

At the peak of the Primordial Realm, the power within Su Mu's body has undergone a qualitative change.

He felt that his entire being had changed.

He's becoming less and less like a human being.

Countless years have passed in the blink of an eye in the small world that evolved within the body.

The vast ocean and the ever-changing fields, that microcosm, gradually became more and more real and more and more vibrant.

Finally, it became almost indistinguishable from a real universe, except that it was smaller in area.

Looking inward, one sees an endless void, in which planets float, each planet being a world similar to the Great Thousand Worlds.

These worlds can all accommodate living beings.

Parallel universe.

A thought suddenly popped into Su Mu's mind.

The microcosm within him and the universe he is currently in are similar to parallel universes.

Could the universe he's in now have evolved from the bodies of every powerful being?
The microcosm evolving within him is currently devoid of life, but the universe he inhabits has existed for countless years.

If there truly is a creator in this universe, then that creator must be far more powerful than him.

Su Mu could sense that the stronger his inner universe was, the stronger he himself would become.

He couldn't imagine just how powerful the creator of this universe was.

“I have embarked on the right path. One day, the inner universe within me will expand to this extent. I, Su Mu, will be no weaker than anyone else.”

Su Mu thought to himself.

Having reached the pinnacle of the Primordial Realm, his next task is to take the Great Thousand World with him to the legendary Heavenly Realm.

Su Mu opened his eyes, and countless images flashed through his pupils.

He slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Zhao Baiqi and the others, and the vast world behind them.

The next moment, he took a step forward.

The sky cracked open, as if in fear of Su Mu.

Su Mu, however, had already returned to the vast world.

Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Yuan Huaizhou, and the others didn't know what Su Mu was going to do, but they instinctively followed him, standing behind him like his lackeys. (End of Chapter)
