The First Marquis of Daxuan

Six Xuan-rank warships hovered in the void.

One by one, powerful experts from the Yellow Heaven Path flew out of the warship.

Just when everyone thought these Huangtiandao experts were about to fight Su Mu, they suddenly changed direction and quickly disappeared into the void.

Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gongliu, and the others all stared wide-eyed.

What's happening here?
Why did Huang Tiandao's men leave?

This isn't right.

They killed Huang Tiandao and his men. Huang Tiandao came with such a fierce momentum to seek revenge, but before they even fought, the other side abandoned their warship and left.

This doesn't make any sense.

"Where do you think you're going!"

The madman from the Yinghuo world roared, about to chase after and kill those Yellow Heaven Dao experts.

He and Huang Tiandao are sworn enemies!
"Crazy Brother!"

Zhao Baiqi and the others quickly grabbed the madman.

They don't know what's going on yet, so how can they act rashly?

Moreover, Huang Tiandao has so many powerful figures; even if the madman charged in, he wouldn't be a match for them.

The more than one hundred experts of Huangtiandao were at least at the initial stage of the Taichu Realm, and there were also many at the middle and high stages.

Let alone the madman alone, even if all of them rushed at him, they would definitely not be a match for those people.

"What exactly is going on? Were they frightened by Su Mu?"

Zhang Yunzhou muttered to himself.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Only this explanation makes sense.

"Even if these people are scared by Su Mu, they'll abandon their warships?"

Qian Gong Liu said somewhat unconvinced.

He has always regarded Su Mu as his rival.

Even though Su Mu is now incredibly strong, he has never given up.

He, Qian Gong Liu, will one day catch up with Su Mu.

When the time comes, he will definitely pin Su Mu to the ground and make Su Mu call him "Big Brother".

"do not know."

Everyone shook their heads.

However, Zhao Baiqi and the others immediately showed excitement on their faces.

"Regardless of how Su Mu did it, Huang Tiandao abandoned six Xuan-rank warships, so aren't they our spoils of war?"
We originally had one Xuan-rank warship, now we have six more!

Zhao Baiqi said in a deep voice.

They had personally experienced the power of a Xuan-rank warship; a Xuan-rank warship was priceless.

The power of the six Xuan-rank warships was so great that even they felt excited.

"Six Xuan-rank warships are priceless. Even for Huang Tiandao, this is a devastating blow."

Zhang Yunzhou said weakly, "If killing some of them before was just a provocation, now we've practically dug up Huang Tiandao's ancestral graves..."

Huang Tiandao originally intended to kill them.

Now Huang Tiandao is even less likely to let them go.

It is easy to imagine that Huang Tiandao's retaliation will come like a violent storm.

Just thinking about how terrifying Huang Tiandao was made Zhang Yunzhou tremble uncontrollably.

He still remembers the scene when Huang Tiandao descended upon the Eight Scenery Star and their resistance was instantly destroyed.

He never wanted to experience that kind of cataclysmic scene again.

"Don't be ridiculous. Even without these six Xuan-rank warships, do you think Huang Tiandao would let us go?"

Huo Tu curled his lip and said disdainfully, "It was originally a life-or-death struggle. Now that we have six more Xuan-rank warships, our strength has greatly increased. Even if Huang Tiandao comes again, we will be able to fight back. Isn't that a good thing?"

For a belligerent person like him, having enemies is no big deal.

He couldn't wait to fight Huang Tiandao.

"Huo Tu is right. It's a life-or-death struggle anyway, so what do we have to be afraid of?"

Zhao Baiqi smiled and said, "Sect Master Su is indeed worthy of being called Sect Master Su. He seized Huang Tiandao's six Xuan-rank warships without lifting a finger."

The problem now is that we don't have enough people to operate these Xuan-rank warships.

"No control is required."

Su Mu's voice rang in everyone's ears. He stepped through the air and slowly returned to the deck of the warship.

"I have decided to dismantle Huang Tiandao's six Xuan-rank warships and use the proceeds to upgrade our warship."

Su Mu said calmly.

"Dismantle them? Take those six Xuan-rank warships?"

Zhang Yunzhou's eyes widened, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't help but swallow a few times.

That's a Xuan-rank warship.

Six ships still!

Back when the Eight Trigrams Star still existed, they managed to forge only a few Xuan-rank warships even with the combined strength of the entire world.

Su Mu actually wants to tear them down!

This is such a waste!

Wait a minute!
What did Su Mu just say?
He said he wanted to continue upgrading the warship?
The warship beneath their feet was already at the Xuan rank; if it continued to upgrade, would it reach the Di rank?
Su Mu already possesses the ability to forge Earth-rank warships?
Yes.

Su Mu had handled the upgrade of this warship to the Xuan-rank with ease and effortlessness.

His skill in weapon crafting was already unfathomable.

He might actually have the ability to forge Earth-rank warships!
It feels so painful to think that six Xuan-rank warships can be dismantled to upgrade one Xuan-rank warship.
"dismantle!"

Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, and the others rolled up their sleeves and said excitedly.

They didn't care how precious the Xuan-rank warship was; they did whatever Su Mu said.

Anyway, these six Xuan-rank warships were all stolen, and they didn't pay any price.

"I need you—"

Su Mu said slowly.

He naturally didn't need to do the rough work of dismantling warships himself.

That's the advantage of having subordinates; you can delegate tasks that don't require much technical skill to them.

However, to be fair, only Su Mu could be willing to do such things for a Primordial Beginning Realm expert.

You have to understand that Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, and Chi Mingtang are all top geniuses on their respective planets, so they wouldn't listen to anyone's orders.

Zhang Yunzhou watched as a group of Tai Chu Realm experts pounced on the six Xuan-rank warships like wolves and tigers, beginning to wreak havoc. His eyelids twitched.

The Xuan-rank warship has strong defensive capabilities, but that is only when it is operated by someone.

These six warships are now unmanned; they are just six inanimate objects.

The six inanimate objects simply couldn't withstand their constant fussing.

The Xuan-rank warships, which had taken countless hours to forge, were reduced to pieces of scrap.

Zhang Yunzhou sighed inwardly and joined in.

His face hardened, and with each piece he tore off, he muttered to himself, "Ten thousand spirit stones!"

In the Spirit Stone Universe, the universal currency is 10,000 stones, which is already a very large number.

While everyone was enthusiastically dismantling the six Xuan-rank warships, Su Mu sat on his own Xuan-rank warship, deep in thought.

Upgrading a Xuan-rank warship to an Di-rank warship is not difficult.

But Su Mu didn't even look at ordinary Earth-rank warships.

Since he's going to upgrade, he wants to create the strongest Earth-rank warship below the Heaven-rank!

He used to be a skilled cook who couldn't cook without rice, and could only dream about it.

Now, in this case...

With Huang Tiandao's six Xuan-rank warships, he had room to maneuver.

Huang Tiandao and his group were still hoping to snatch those six Xuan-rank warships back.

They probably never imagined that their six Xuan-rank warships had been dismantled into parts and used as fuel for his Xuan-rank warship.

Thinking of this, Su Mu couldn't help but smile.

The reason why those powerful figures from Huangtiandao were able to scare away in the past was because of Huangtiandao's information asymmetry.

Huang Tiandao never expected to encounter a powerful expert at the peak of the Primordial Beginning Realm.

Huang Tiandao now knows.

It is conceivable that the next time Huang Tiandao sends people, there will definitely be a Tai Chu Realm Perfection expert making a move, or a Di-rank warship will arrive.

Earth-rank warships are capable of contending with experts at the peak of the Primordial Realm.

Huang Tiandao's foundation is the strongest among all the forces Su Mu has ever encountered in his life.

According to Zhang Yunzhou, the initial group of people in Huang Tiandao had at least the peak of the Primordial Beginning Realm, and there might even have been experts who surpassed the Primordial Beginning Realm.

That's what's truly terrifying.

Although Su Mu was confident, he did not think he was invincible.

Who knows just how strong the leader of Huangtiandao is, given that he is a powerful figure who came from the Heavenly Realm?
Su Mu's current advantage lies in the fact that Huang Tiandao doesn't value him enough.

In the eyes of the behemoth Huang Tiandao, Su Mu was nothing more than an insignificant ant.

This is Su Mu's opportunity.

Huang Tiandao doesn't value him, so he won't go all out to deal with him.

Then he can grow up quickly in this gap.

However, this period of time will not be too long.

Now that Huang Tiandao knows he is at the peak of the Primordial Beginning Realm, it will probably not be so easy to deal with the next wave of pursuers.

Therefore, Su Mu must put more effort into his Earth-rank warship.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this Earth-rank warship will be his asset in facing Huang Tiandao.

With these thoughts in mind, Su Mu's gaze fell on Zhao Baiqi and the others.

Although Zhao Baiqi and the others were experts of the Primordial Beginning Realm, most of them were only at the initial stage of the Primordial Beginning Realm. Facing Huang Tiandao, their strength was already somewhat insufficient.

However, it is not so easy for a Tai Chu Realm expert to improve their cultivation.

Even Su Mu couldn't make them quickly reach the middle or even high level of the Primordial Beginning Realm.

Since cultivation levels are difficult to improve, the only way to make them effective is to focus on the warships.

A warship of Earth Rank requires the concerted efforts of everyone to operate. Huang Tiandao has the art of battle formations, so why can't Su Mu design a formation to bring together the strength of Zhao Baiqi and the others?
As he pondered, arrays flashed through his mind, sparking new inspirations.

I don't know how much time passed.

The six Xuan-rank warships have been completely turned into a pile of materials.

Under Su Mu's instructions, the group began to refine the materials again.

None of them were weapon forgers or weapon refiners, but their cultivation levels were high enough.

Moreover, there was also a weapon refiner, Zhang Yunzhou, providing guidance.

The materials salvaged from those Xuan-rank warships were quickly remelted.

Throughout the entire process, Zhang Yunzhou kept sighing.

He couldn't help but sigh.

A perfectly good Xuan-rank warship was disassembled and remelted, resulting in a loss of up to 70%!
In other words, only about 30% of the materials can actually be reused.

The other 70% was simply wasted.

Zhang Yunzhou felt sorry for him.

But there was nothing he could do.

He had neither the right nor the ability to stop Su Mu from doing what he wanted to do.

However, when Su Mu started upgrading the warship, Zhang Yunzhou immediately became excited again.

Su Mu's skill in weapon crafting is unfathomable. To witness Su Mu upgrade a Xuan-rank warship into an Di-rank warship is something every weapon crafter dreams of.

When Zhang Yunzhou witnessed Su Mu upgrade the Yellow-rank warship to the Profound-rank warship, his own weapon-refining skills broke through the bottleneck, and he directly became a weapon refiner capable of refining Profound-rank warships.

What about this time?

If I mastered the method of forging Earth-rank warships, I would definitely be the senior brother of the Eight Trigrams Star!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunzhou's eyes widened, staring intently at Su Mu's every move.

Even actions he couldn't understand at the moment, he kept firmly in mind, preparing to slowly comprehend them.

Zhao Baiqi and the others did not understand weapon crafting techniques, so they naturally did not know how astonishing Su Mu's actions were.

They were merely doing menial tasks as instructed by Su Mu.

When Su Mu started upgrading the warship, they only thought Su Mu's movements were very impressive. As for how difficult it was, sorry, they couldn't tell.

The void was engulfed in flames.

The high temperature kept even the Void Beasts away.

Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gongliu, and others are no longer worried about the Void Beasts.

With a Xuan-rank warship present, ordinary Void Beasts wouldn't dare approach.

Even if some fools get close, they don't even need to lift a finger; a single attack from a Xuan-rank warship will reduce them to ashes.

The crowd gathered around Su Mu and began to discuss it in hushed tones.

"How powerful do you think this warship will be after the upgrade?"

Huo Tu couldn't help but say.

"If it's not strong enough, then we've traded six Xuan-rank warships for it, wouldn't that be a loss?"
When have you ever seen Su Mu do a losing business?

Qian Gong Liu curled his lip.

Although he was not convinced by Su Mu, he believed in Su Mu's abilities.

"Zhang Yunzhou said that Earth-rank warships are capable of contending with experts at the peak of the Primordial Beginning Realm."

Zhao Baiqi pondered for a moment and said, "Since Su Mu has gone to such great lengths, he must be able to upgrade this warship to the Earth Rank."

We have essentially gained another powerful cultivator at the peak of the Primordial Realm.

"If Huang Tiandao wants to deal with us again, it won't be so easy."

The eyes of the madman in the world of fire shone brightly.

He didn't care about anything else, only how many Huang Tiandao people he could kill.

He'd do anything as long as Huang Tiandao could be eliminated.

"Gentlemen, have you noticed that we're becoming less and less useful...?"

Chimingtang muttered to himself.

Everyone looked at each other.

If anyone had ever said they were useless, they would have spat in their face.

But now, although they are somewhat unhappy, they have no way to refute it.

They certainly seemed useless in the face of Huang Tiandao.

Huang Tiandao's cultivation level is at least at the initial stage of the Primordial Beginning Realm, and he also has battle formation techniques. Several initial stage Primordial Beginning Realm cultivators can contend with mid-stage or even high-stage Primordial Beginning Realm cultivators.

Not to mention they also have warships.

If it weren't for Su Mu's heroic efforts in turning the tide against Huang Tiandao, they would have been completely wiped out in the Yinghuo World.

Later, when Huang Tiandao's pursuers arrived, they were of no use whatsoever.

Su Mu single-handedly drove back Huang Tiandao's pursuers.

Now, all they can do is perform odd jobs.

As powerful beings in the Primordial Realm, how could they be content with just this?
"If things continue like this, even if we reach the Heavenly Realm, we'll just be a bunch of useless trash."

Chimingtang Dao.

“I’m different from you. I’m at the mid-stage of the Primordial Beginning Realm.”

Qian Gong Liu curled his lip; he was a man who was going to defeat Su Mu, not a piece of trash.

"Gentlemen, you're overthinking it."

Zhao Baiqi laughed and said, "Compared to Su Mu, who isn't a piece of trash?"
You guys just haven't figured out your place yet.

You shouldn't just focus on Su Mu and Huang Tiandao.

If we ignore them, we're actually doing alright.

Think about it, Su Mu's warship needs manpower to operate it, right? That's us.

Believe it or not, as long as we steadfastly follow Su Mu, sooner or later our cultivation will also reach the peak of the Primordial Beginning Realm.

"That's what I say, but I feel a little guilty if I don't do anything."

Chimingtang Dao.

"You don't need to feel guilty."

Zhang Yunzhou suddenly flew over, looking exhausted, and said, "You'll soon have your chance to prove your worth."

"how do I say this?"

Everyone couldn't help but look over.

As the only weapon refiner in the team besides Su Mu, Zhang Yunzhou had been helping Su Mu with his work.

"Sect Leader Su's weapon-refining skills are truly breathtaking."

Zhang Yunzhou remarked with emotion, "Upgrading this warship to the Earth Rank is practically a certainty."

Furthermore, Sect Master Su improved the crafting method of Earth-rank warships. He added some formations to the warships, which could unleash the power of multiple people, just like Huang Tiandao's battle formation techniques.

Once you are on the warship, you can work together to unleash power no less than that of a high-level Primordial Realm cultivator.

Combined with the warship's own offensive capabilities, it would have no fear even against a peak Primordial Realm expert.

Although Zhang Yunzhou looked exhausted, his eyes were filled with excitement.

His eyes were opened once again.

Su Mu's various ingenious ideas were simply beyond what he could have come up with even if he were beaten to death.

This Earth-rank warship is completely different from the Earth-rank warships of their Eight Trigrams Star.

Once bound to this warship, Zhao Baiqi and his companions can interact with it within a certain range, leveraging each other's strength to unleash combat power far exceeding their own.

They could leave the warship to fight the enemy, and they could also return to the warship at any time; everyone became part of the warship.

Man and ship as one!

This was Zhang Yunzhou's only thought.

Yes, it's about man and ship becoming one!

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

Is it still possible to do this?
As expected, Su Mu always manages to surprise people.

"So, if Huang Tiandao's pursuers come again, we can fight them?"

Huo Tu and the madman of the Yinghuo World said excitedly.

"Yes."

Zhang Yunzhou was definitely authentic.

"Once you become one with the ship, each of you will be a weapon of this warship."

Zhang Yunzhou said, "Think about it, when you transform into weapons, you can borrow the power of warships and your companions, and those Huang Tiandao will be no match for you!"

Just as everyone was getting excited.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard.

The flames on the warship in the void subsided, and a seven-colored beam of light shot into the sky.

In an instant, the vast expanse of space was illuminated with unparalleled brightness.

Countless Void Beasts were alarmed and scattered in all directions.

at this time.

In the distance, a massive warship slowly emerged from the void.

Huang Tiandao's pursuers appeared once again.

This time, Huang Tiandao brought a terrestrial-rank warship.

A Tier 1 warship capable of contending with a Tai Chu Realm Perfection expert! (End of Chapter)
