The First Marquis of Daxuan

Su Mu gazed back at the heavenly road he had come from.

The place where the vast world once stood is now completely empty.

With incredible power, Su Mu incorporated the entire Great Thousand World into his own small world.

When I witnessed all of this happening with my own eyes.

Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Yuan Huaizhou, and the others were all dumbfounded.

This was a power beyond their imagination.

Even the composed Zhao Baiqi couldn't help but ask Su Mu a question.

"Is it still necessary for you to walk the Heavenly Road? Even if you reach the end of the Heavenly Road, it's probably just like that."

Thinking of Zhao Baiqi's question, Su Mu couldn't help but smile.

His purpose in traveling the Heavenly Road was different from that of Zhao Baiqi and the others.

Zhao Baiqi and his companions ventured onto the Heavenly Road to become stronger and to reach the Heavenly Realm to achieve immortality.

But Su Mu doesn't need to traverse the Heavenly Road to become stronger.

Immortality held little appeal for him.

He did this simply because the world could not contain him.

He's too strong, so he needs to find a place that can accommodate him.

The celestial realm at the end of the Heavenly Road should be the place that can contain him.

"Sect Leader Su, we have received a message from Qian Gong Liu."

Just then, Zhao Baiqi came to his side and said in a deep voice, "Qian Gong Liu and the others have arrived at the next supply point."

That world is called Mars.

"very good."

Su Mu said, "You should go over there too. Collect as much as you can, but remember, do not harm the creatures of the Yinghuo world."

Su Mu was also somewhat helpless.

He's too powerful now, so he can't just enter these worlds.

Otherwise, he would bring utter destruction to these worlds.

It's like a whale suddenly appearing in a fish tank; the tank will inevitably burst instantly.

"Not anymore."

Zhao Baiqi said with a serious expression, "Qian Gong Liu said that the Yinghuo world has been looted and there are no living beings left in the entire world."

It's now a ruin.

He sent me a message asking me to ask you if we still need to rest there.

"They've looted it? They've slaughtered all living things in the world?"

Su Mu frowned slightly.

Zhao Baiqi and his group were certainly not the only ones venturing onto the Heavenly Road.

Could it be that someone got ahead of them?

Even if we were ahead of them, there was no need to commit such a world-destroying act, was there?
Su Mu suddenly felt uneasy.

He had already reached the perfect state of the Primordial Realm, and logically speaking, there was nothing in this world that could threaten his life.

Why do I feel uneasy now?

Having reached Su Mu's level of cultivation, it's clear that his abilities didn't come out of thin air.

This was more like a whim.

"Let's go and take a look at the world of Yinghuo."

Su Mu pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

Zhao Baiqi nodded.

Actually, he also wanted to go and see.

The message from Qian Gong Liu was very serious.

For these powerful beings who venture into the heavens, descending into a new world is merely for the purpose of obtaining supplies, and there may be some bloodshed in the process.

But we will never kill for the sake of killing.

No one would be so bored as to slaughter all living beings in the world.

Besides, even if someone wanted to do that, whether they could actually do it is another question.

The Primordial Realm is not invincible.

Who can guarantee that there aren't Primordial Realm experts in those worlds?

The power of the person who could annihilate an entire world's population is simply inconceivable.

Having witnessed Su Mu's strength, Zhao Baiqi wouldn't be surprised at all if another expert at the high-level or even perfect Tai Chu realm appeared.

Soon after.

Su Mu, Zhao Baiqi, and the others landed on the ground.

"This world is dead."

Su Mu stood on the ground and spoke slowly.

A world, or rather a planet, can be inhabited by life.

Only in a world with life can living beings be born.

The planets without life on the celestial path are all dead planets.

This place, Yinghuo, was originally a place with life.

But now, it's dead.

Moreover, it wasn't a natural death; all of their life force was drained from them.

A look of seriousness flashed across Su Mu's face.

Su Mu himself could also remove the life force from Yinghuo.

That's why he knew that to achieve this, his opponent's strength was probably no less than his own.

Is there really another powerful expert in this world who has reached the peak of the Primordial Beginning Realm?
Qian Gong Liu and the others flew over and landed in front of Su Mu.

"This is what it looked like when we arrived here."

"That's what Qian Gong Liu said."

The entire world of Mars has become a desert, devoid of any living beings, flowers, trees, or even a drop of water.

Everywhere was just dark red sand and gravel, giving it a lifeless appearance.

If you're not a Primordial Realm expert, you simply can't survive here.

Have you found any clues left by the killer?

Su Mu asked in a deep voice.

He concealed his aura, not daring to release his power easily.

Otherwise, Mars would probably fall apart immediately.

Although it was a dead planet, Su Mu didn't want to destroy it like that.

With this physical body still intact, who knows, ten thousand years from now, Mars might be reborn.

"Have!"

"Qian Gong Liu said in a deep voice."

"Come with me."

As Qian Gong Liu spoke, he leaped into the air.

Su Mu and the others followed.

Qian Gong Liu carried them for a full half hour before they landed back on the ground.

It must be said that Mars is a very large planet.

In terms of area, it even surpasses the vast world.

"There must be some powerful figures fighting here."

Qian Gong Liu pointed to a large pit hundreds of feet deep on the ground and said in a deep voice, "There are still some traces of life remaining at the bottom of the pit."

We tried to go down to the bottom of the pit, but before we could even get there, we were forced back by the lingering smell.

I feel that even just the lingering aura emanating from him is no weaker than yours.

Although Qian Gong Liu was working for Su Mu, his words still revealed some resentment.

Zhao Baiqi and the others secretly chuckled.

The person Qian Gong Liu was referring to was Su Mu from before.

The current Su Mu is much stronger than the Su Mu of that time.

"I'll try."

Su Mu smiled faintly, took a step, and plummeted straight down.

He showed no aura whatsoever, appearing as an ordinary person.

"you--"

Before Qian Gong Liu could say anything more, Su Mu had already disappeared.

Qian Gong Liu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"The aura below is highly aggressive; you could easily get injured if you're not careful!"

"Qian Gong Liu muttered."

He was accidentally injured when he went down to test the waters earlier.

"Injuried?"

Zhao Baiqi and the others couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, Qian Gong Liu, he won't get hurt."

Zhao Baiqi said with a smile.

…………

Su Mu plummeted straight down.

suddenly.

A dazzling light appeared below.

Just then.

Su Mu could already feel a sharp killing intent rushing towards him.

He finally understood what Qian Gong Liu meant by "breath".

It was indeed a very strong killing intent.

This killing intent alone is enough to injure a mid-stage Tai Chu Realm expert.

No wonder Qian Gong Liu didn't look too good before.

It seems that Qian Gong Liu also suffered a considerable loss.

As Su Mu pondered this, his body continued to fall.

This murderous aura could harm Qian Gong Liu, but it couldn't harm him.

They plummeted hundreds of feet further, the murderous aura growing ever stronger.

Later, the murderous aura became almost tangible, transforming into a red mist.

The mist swirled around Su Mu, desperately trying to pierce into his pores.

His murderous aura was like a knife.

If it were someone else here, they would probably have been torn to pieces by this intense killing intent.

A look of surprise flashed across Su Mu's face.

The residual killing intent alone already possessed such power.

How powerful must the master who released this murderous aura be?

I was just thinking about it.

Suddenly he felt his feet return to the ground.

call!
Su Mu flicked his sleeve, and a gust of wind swept past, instantly dispelling the palpable killing intent around him.

The person who released this killing intent was no less powerful than Su Mu.

But now, it's just lingering killing intent, which Su Mu can easily dispel.

As the murderous aura dissipated, what appeared before Su Mu was an arm.

The arm had been severed at the shoulder, and the person was still holding a long knife.

This intense killing intent emanated from that long sword.

Su Mu was an expert and could tell at a glance that the long sword was an extremely deadly weapon.

Who severed the arm of the person who possessed such a ferocious weapon? It's a miracle that such a battle between powerful individuals didn't completely shatter this world of Mars.

Just as Su Mu was examining the knife.

The arm holding the knife suddenly twitched.

The next moment, he held the knife in his arm and slashed down at Su Mu in mid-air.

In an instant, the aura surged, and the sharp killing intent seemed to slice through space itself.

If Qian Gong Liu were here, facing this earth-shattering strike, he would be severely injured even if he didn't die.

The power of this strike is absolutely close to the level of a full-force attack from a high-level expert in the Primordial Realm.

Unfortunately.

It encountered a Shetland Sheepdog.

Su Mu simply flicked his sleeve.

The boundless killing intent shattered with a deafening roar.

Then Su Mu reached out and pinched the blade.

The severed arm holding the knife trembled violently, the muscles on the arm twitching constantly, but the knife remained completely still.

It was as if Su Mu possessed immense strength, firmly holding the knife in place.

"You don't even have the ability to regenerate from a drop of blood, yet you dare to act so arrogantly in front of me, Su?"

Su Mu snorted coldly, his arm trembling slightly.

The powerful force instantly crashed into the longsword, dispelling the remaining power within it.

The severed arm could no longer grip the knife; its five fingers parted, and it fell back to the ground with a thud.

The longsword emitted a faint clanging sound, no longer struggling in Su Mu's hand, but instead showing a submissive posture.

A scene suddenly appeared in Su Mu's mind.

A look of surprise crossed his face.

This long sword had actually developed such intelligence that it directly relayed what had happened to Su Mu.

in the picture.

A giant man, standing a full ten feet tall, brandished a long sword and engaged in a bloody battle with a group of people.

Those people wore blood-red robes and blood-red masks, and their auras were incredibly powerful.

Both sides are exceptionally strong.

One side had more people, while the other side only had that big man.

Not long after the fight began, the big man's arm was severed.

The severed-armed man, carrying a long sword, fell into the world of Mars, while the burly man died at the hands of those red-robed men.

The battle took place in the void outside the Mars world, which is why it did not affect the Mars world.

Su Mu's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Judging from the image, this burly man should be from the Yinghuo world, and possibly the strongest person in the Yinghuo world.

With his death, the world of Yinghuo will be left without anyone to protect it.

Therefore, it was those red-robed people who slaughtered the entire world of Yinghuo.

Those people in red robes don't look like people who have ventured on the Heavenly Road. Who are they?
What is their purpose in slaughtering and bewitching the world?
The longsword's intelligence was limited, and it was impossible for it to answer Su Mu's question.

"Ten people, each with the strength of a high-level Primordial Realm cultivator, are besieging that big man alone."

Su Mu thought to himself, "Ten Primordial Realm experts joining forces to deal with one person, is there anyone instigating them?"

Su Mu now has quite a few experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm under his command.

But those people were only at the initial stage of the Primordial Realm, and the strongest one was Qian Gong Liu, who was at the middle stage of the Primordial Realm.

Whether it's the middle stage of the Primordial Realm or the initial stage of the Primordial Realm, they can't compare to the high stage of the Primordial Realm.

Back when Su Mu was at the high level of the Primordial Beginning Realm, he was able to defeat Qian Gong Liu, who was at the mid level of the Primordial Beginning Realm, in one move.

Ten high-level Primordial Realm cultivators—that's an unimaginable power.

And judging from their appearance, it doesn't seem to be as simple as a robbery.

If it was a robbery, why was the knife left behind?
The killing intent here is absolutely no match for those ten red-robed experts.

Is it killing for the sake of killing?

Just as Su Mu was pondering.

Suddenly, shouts came from above.

Then came the sounds of fighting.

Su Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He held the long sword upside down, stomped his foot, and soared into the sky.

…………

Above the sinkhole.

A man with bloodshot eyes, wielding a long knife, frantically attacked Qian Gong Liu and Zhao Baiqi, among others.

The man's face was contorted with madness; he seemed to have gone insane.

However, his cultivation was extremely powerful, and with each swing of his sword, a sharp blade of light appeared in the air.

Even Qian Gong Liu was nearly injured by his blade.

Zhao Baiqi and his group were no match for them.

Fortunately, there were many of them.

It took more than a dozen people working together to barely stop the man's attack.

"I'll kill you all! I'll kill you all!"

The man was disheveled and roared repeatedly.

The attacks from his hands grew increasingly fierce.

His cultivation was already high, and now he only attacks and doesn't defend, as if he wants to perish together with everyone.

Swish!
A bloody gash appeared on Qian Gong Liu's chest, and his body instinctively flew backward.

The man gripped the knife with both hands and slashed down.

Without Qian Gong Liu, a mid-stage Primordial Realm cultivator, Zhao Baiqi was the first to be affected.

A flash of light shattered Zhao Baiqi's resistance in an instant.

As the blade was about to cleave Zhao Baiqi in two, despair filled his eyes.

He was unwilling to accept it.

They had clearly seen the hope of completing the journey to heaven.

He had clearly already latched onto Su Mu's coattails.

why?
Where did this madman come from?

Why would he kill himself?

He, Zhao Baiqi, was unwilling to die here like this.

No sooner said than done.

Just as the blade was about to fall...

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Baiqi.

Su Mu raised his hand.

The blade points upwards.

The blade flashed and shattered upon contact with the blade.

The immense force caused even the madman to involuntarily take a step back.

He saw the long sword in Su Mu's hand, and a glimmer of clarity seemed to appear in his blood-red eyes.

But soon, that sliver of clarity was swallowed by crimson.

The man roared and lunged at Su Mu with his knife.

"careful!"

Qian Gong Liu loudly reminded him, "He's just like you, a high-level Primordial Realm cultivator!"

"is it?"

Su Mu smiled faintly.

He took a step forward and appeared in front of the other person even faster than the madman.

He swung his sword and slashed.

The madman raised his knife to parry.

A crisp snapping sound.

The madman's long knife snapped in two.

Everyone's faces showed surprise.

They had just dealt with this madman.

They had personally experienced just how powerful the knife in the other party's hand was.

They had many powerful weapons, but none of them could withstand the madman's blade.

Such a formidable blade, yet Su Mu severed it in a single strike?

This is probably not just because Su Mu is powerful.

The knife in Su Mu's hand probably has some mystery to it!
Gudong.

Qian Gong Liu couldn't help but swallow.

Has Su Mu gotten stronger again?
Has Su Mu become stronger since he went ahead to scout the way?

Is this guy even human?

"abnormal."

He muttered to himself.

Then he watched helplessly as the madman who had almost killed him was slapped to the ground by Su Mu with a backhand strike.

The terrifyingly powerful madman was treated like a child by Su Mu.

They were suppressed by Su Mu without any power to resist.

"Look carefully!"

Su Mu shouted, "Make sure you see clearly whether we have slaughtered the people of the Yinghuo World!"

His shout was like a thunderclap, dispelling the bloodshot in the madman's eyes.

The madman looked blankly at the long sword in Su Mu's hand, then at Zhao Baiqi, Qian Gongliu, and the others.

"You are not them."

The madman muttered, "Who are you?"

"Whoever you are, go, go now! Those people are coming back soon!"

The madman suddenly became agitated again.

He struggled desperately.

But Su Mu's hand pressed down on him like a mountain, and he couldn't break free at all.

"Who are those people?"

Su Mu asked in a deep voice.

The world of Mars is already in ruins, so why would those people come back?
Could it be that there is some secret in this world of Mars?
"I don't know, I don't know who they are."

The madman was still struggling, shouting, "Go! Go now, or we'll all die!"

Zhao Baiqi, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gongliu, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Who drove this powerful person mad?
Are they the ones who slaughtered the world of fire and illusion?
How terrifying were those murderers to be able to drive a powerful expert at the high level of the Primordial Realm insane?
Everyone couldn't help but look at Su Mu.

Such terrifying people, shouldn't they leave this place quickly?

The grudges between the other party and the Yinghuo world have nothing to do with them.

"Sect Leader Su, let's leave quickly."

One of the experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm couldn't help but speak, his voice trembling slightly.

"Let's get to the next rest stop as soon as possible. What's happening here is none of our business, and we don't need to get involved."

"Yes, let's hurry up and go."

Everyone spoke up, and a look of fear appeared on their faces.

This madman is a high-level expert in the Primordial Beginning Realm! He's gone mad, how could they not be afraid?

Their strength is far inferior to that of this madman.

What if the person the madman mentioned really comes back? Can Su Mu protect so many of them all by himself? (End of Chapter)
