The First Marquis of Daxuan

boom!
The torrent of golden letters crashed heavily behind the desolate creature.

The torrent of golden characters pierced through the body of the desolate creature like a knife.

The foul-smelling blood spurted out.

Master Xuanxuan instantly moved closer to the wound and began to suck the blood of the desolate creature.

His head had even burrowed into the wound of the desolate creature, just like a maggot.

The desolate creature let out a painful roar, its face showing terror.

But Master Xuanxuan was like a nail stuck to its bone; no matter how much it struggled, it could not shake him off.

In the blink of an eye, everything happened.

Just as everyone was dumbfounded, Master Xuanxuan let out an excited roar.

boom!
The creature's body could no longer withstand the pressure and exploded.

Master Xuanxuan opened his mouth and inhaled, and not a single drop of the desolate creature's flesh and blood was wasted; it all entered his mouth.

In an instant, the aura emanating from Master Xuanxuan began to surge.

A deep rumble of thunder echoed in the air, and the injuries on Master Xuanxuan's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His body was also changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The skin, which was originally no different from that of a normal person, has turned blood red and has begun to rot.

He is transforming into a creature of the wilderness!

Everyone inside the star gate was dumbfounded.

If one Desolate Creature dies, does that mean another Desolate Creature will be born?
Is this how the Wilderness Creatures came to be?

If Master Xuanxuan transforms into a creature of the Desolate Heaven, does that mean he will also become the mastermind of the Great Calamity of the Desolate Heaven?
Su Mu's expression was solemn, and he was on high alert.

He had already retreated to the edge of the Star Gate, and if Master Xuanxuan made a move against him, he would immediately return to the other side of the Star Gate.

He would never make a pointless sacrifice.

If he can remain alive, he will still have a chance to exterminate the desolate creatures in the future.

It would be too unworthy to die at the hands of Master Xuanxuan now.

suddenly.

Master Xuanxuan stared at Su Mu with his scarlet eyes.

Just as Su Mu thought he was about to attack him, Master Xuanxuan let out a painful wail.

The next moment, his body turned into a red light and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The speed was so fast that even the transcendent Jin Hong and those desolate creatures couldn't react.

"kill!"

A roar echoed throughout the universe.

The remaining desolate creatures seemed to have entered a berserk state, instantly causing the transcendent Jin Hong to cough up blood and retreat.

A violent force spread out, and in an instant, countless living beings turned into clouds of blood mist.

The blood mist surged and flowed toward the desolate creatures.

After absorbing the blood mist, the decaying flesh on the desolate creature's body began to improve at a visible speed.

As the rotting flesh improved, their aura began to grow stronger.

Seeing this, Su Mu finally understood the origin of the Great Calamity of Desolate Heaven.

The beings of the universe are the medicine for the creatures of the desolate heavens.

They need to take medicine every now and then, and the reason they don't kill all living beings in the universe is because they need to leave some medicine for the next dose.

The propagation of all living beings in the universe is to accumulate medicinal materials for them.

The intervals between each Great Calamity of Desolate Heaven are for accumulating enough medicinal herbs. When the bodies of the Desolate Heaven creatures begin to rot again, that is when the next Great Calamity of Desolate Heaven will erupt.

This cycle has been repeated countless times.

Each generation of Transcendentalists resists the Wilderness Creatures, but they have never succeeded in changing this situation.

Each time, at most they can reduce the number of lives lost in the universe.

They strive in vain, but no generation of transcendents has ever given up.

They had already transcended, yet they still chose to destroy their transcendence for this very reason.

They used their infinite lifespan to provide shade for all living beings in the universe.

Although this patch of shade may be very small.

Su Mu's expression grew increasingly resolute.

He lacks both the strength and the magnanimity of a transcendent being.

But that doesn't mean he's willing to just stand by and watch it all happen.

That doesn't mean he can't do something!
"Regardless of what Master Xuanxuan's purpose was, he killed a desolate creature and saved the lives of countless beings."

If he can do it, so can I.

A fierce light flashed in Su Mu's pupils, and he seemed to have transformed into a prehistoric beast.

By absorbing the power of the desolate creatures, as long as he can suppress the invasion of the desolate power and not turn into a bloodthirsty beast, he can save a group of lives.

If even one less dose of medicine were used by the Desolate Creatures, hundreds of millions of lives would be saved.

When Su Mu first joined forces with Master Xuanxuan, he already knew how Master Xuanxuan dealt with the Desolate Heaven creatures.

Just now, it seemed as if Master Xuanxuan had deliberately exposed his methods to Su Mu.

Even the look in his eyes before he left was understood only by him and Su Mu.

Master Xuanxuan somehow acquired the ability to harm the creatures of the desolate heavens and devour their flesh and blood.

And he has now taught this ability to Su Mu.

The choice is up to Su Mu.

Master Xuanxuan should know in his heart that Su Mu only has one choice.

Even if it weren't for saving the lives of beings in the universe, but for power, no one could resist the temptation.

By devouring the flesh and power of the Desolate Creatures, one may transform into a new Desolate Creature, but one can still gain transcendent power and truly enter the realm of immortality.

"I will still exist even if the universe is destroyed"—that's what the Desolate Creatures are all about.

No martial artist can resist the allure of power.

Master Xuanxuan believed that Su Mu would not be able to refuse.

He wanted to compete with Su Mu to see who could withstand the backlash of the Desolate Heaven's power!
This was the tacit understanding that Su Mu and Master Xuanxuan reached in an instant.

"Senior Jin, send over a wild beast; I can handle it."

After making the decision, Su Mu said in a deep voice.

call!
Jin Hong, the one who transcended, remained silent and did not raise any questions.

With a wave of his hand, he created an opening, allowing a wild creature to charge towards Su Mu.

He sheltered Su Mu once, but he couldn't shelter Su Mu forever.

Since Su Mu has already made his decision, he will not interfere further.

The detached one is not a babysitter; he will not take care of Su Mu in every little detail.

Moreover, the number of the desolate creatures was too great, and he was indeed running out of steam.

He is not afraid of death, but if he were to lose now, it would be too early for him to lose.

call!
The speed of the Desolate Creatures reached its limit.

In the blink of an eye, they were already in front of Su Mu.

The sight made everyone inside the Star Gate hold their breath.

"Lord Su!"

"metropolitan!"

"My lord!"

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Some people instinctively wanted to rush out of the star gate and fight alongside Su Mu.

But Jin Peng and his two companions stopped them.

"Your going out will only be a death sentence for him; you won't help him!"

Jin Peng said in a deep voice, "This is his own choice, and he may be able to create a miracle."

Jin Peng and the other two had all fought against Su Mu, and they all believed that Su Mu was the most talented and unparalleled person they had ever met.

Su Mu might be able to do what no one else could do before.

No one had ever been able to kill a creature from the Desolate Sky before, but just now, Su Mu and Master Xuanxuan joined forces to kill one.

Moreover, it was clear that Master Xuanxuan was able to kill the Desolate Creature with Su Mu's help.

Su Mu's Taoist scriptures naturally restrain the power of wild creatures.

If Su Mu could absorb the power of the desolate creatures like the Venerable Xuanxuan, then perhaps he could truly break free from his previous constraints and become the second transcendent being in the universe.

If one transcendent being cannot withstand the Great Calamity of Desolate Heaven, what about two? If Su Mu can truly forge an unprecedented path, then perhaps he can completely resolve the Great Calamity of Desolate Heaven.

The three of them shared the same idea, so they stopped the others.

If Su Mu fails and cannot withstand the onslaught of the desolate power, then these people may be the last hope to bring Su Mu back to his senses.

…………

In an instant, Su Mu was already engaged in battle with that desolate creature.

boom!
With a loud bang, Su Mu spat out blood.

However, the torrent of golden characters surrounding him did not collapse, but instead blocked the attack of the Desolate Creature!

The creature from the desolate sky possesses transcendent power, far surpassing Su Mu in strength.

Under normal circumstances, even with Su Mu's current strength, he wouldn't be able to withstand the attacks of the Desolate Sky Creatures.

But now he's blocking it.

When he used the system panel to deduce the Daoist scriptures, one of his purposes was to suppress the power of the Desolate Heaven within his body.

Therefore, the Daoist scriptures were created from the very beginning to deal with the power of the desolate heavens.

Of course, besides the Daoist scriptures' ability to restrain the power of the desolate heaven, the most important reason why Su Mu was able to withstand this attack was Master Xuanxuan.

Master Xuanxuan personally demonstrated to Su Mu how to survive attacks from the desolate creatures.

He used his own body to show Su Mu what the weakness of the Desolate Heaven's power was.

This intuitive understanding is the fundamental reason why Su Mu was able to fight against the Desolate Sky Creatures.

He let out a long roar, and the Daoist scriptures transformed into golden chains that instantly bound the limbs of the desolate creature.

call!
Streams of desolate power surged into Su Mu's body along the golden chain.

Su Mu let out a painful cry.

His face was contorted in a ferocious expression, and in an instant, cracks appeared all over his skin.

"court death!"

The voice of the Desolate Creature resounded in Su Mu's mind.

The sound was like a grand bell, shaking Su Mu's sea of ​​consciousness.

If his cultivation level were even slightly lower, this would have turned him into an idiot.

Su Mu gritted his teeth and forcefully stabilized his sea of ​​consciousness.

He frantically absorbed the desolate power he had plundered.

Su Mu could sense that the power of the desolate heaven within him was distinct from his original power.

Moreover, the power of the Desolate Heaven carries a maddening feeling that is constantly assaulting his body and soul.

If his original power was a pool of clear water, then Huangtian's power was a blob of ink.

The ink and water flowed side by side, constantly encroaching on the water.

Sooner or later, even clear water will turn into ink.

Conversely, it is almost impossible to wash the ink off with water.

By the time Su Mu realized this, it was too late to turn back.

Master Xuanxuan should also understand this, but he did not tell Su Mu.

Even though hell is ahead, it's better to go in with someone than to go in alone.

Su Mu took a deep breath.

Even knowing that hell lay ahead, he was still determined to brave it.

If he is unfortunately destined to become a creature of the desolate heavens, he will end his own life before he becomes an immortal monster.

"Come on, let's give it a try and see who can beat whom!"

Su Mu roared.

Hundreds of golden chains shot out, instantly binding the desolate creature.

The chains that the scripture transformed into bound the two together, just like countless pipes.

The power of the desolate sky poured down from the high place to the low place.

That low place is Su Mu!
As the power of the Desolate Heaven within Su Mu increased, the Desolate Heaven creatures that were his opponents grew weaker and weaker.

Finally, their strength reached a balance.

At this moment, Su Mu began his brutal plundering.

The desolate creature was also somewhat panicked.

I thought it was a rabbit, but who would have thought it would suddenly turn into a tiger?
Despite absorbing so much of its desolate power, this person neither exploded nor went mad!
Fear rose in the heart of that desolate creature.

It roared and broke several golden chains, trying to retreat.

But how could Su Mu give it that chance?
He was willing to risk his own life to take the life of this desolate creature!
"Now that I know your weakness, you are doomed today!"

Su Mu roared, and dozens more golden chains wrapped around him.

The once crimson-gold chains now have many black spots on them.

It's like rust on a chain.

Gold cannot rust.

This kind of change is definitely not a good one.

Inside the Star Gate, Luo Anning, Xiang Xiaoyuan, Dongfang Liuyun, Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Qian Gongliu and others were all in tears.

They are the people who know Su Mu best.

They knew that Su Mu was fighting desperately.

This time, however, Su Mu may not be able to create miracles like before.

Even the gold is rusting, Su Mu, can you still pull through?

"I told you, you're going to die!"

A long howl echoed inside and outside the star gate, and Su Mu's face was filled with determination.

A thick chain shot out from his chest and instantly pierced the heart of the desolate creature.

Countless forces of the desolate heavens surged toward Su Mu.

The way Master Xuanxuan devoured the power of the Desolate Heaven was by directly consuming the flesh and blood of the creatures of the Desolate Heaven.

In comparison, the Shetland Sheepdog's approach was undoubtedly much more refined.

However, in terms of brutality, Su Mu's method was in no way inferior to that of Master Xuanxuan.

The desolate creature's face showed terror, and it let out a painful and unwilling roar.

But no matter how much it struggles, once it breaks one chain, two more chains immediately reappear.

Su Mu withstood all of its attacks.

The injuries it caused healed without medicine as the power of the Desolate Heaven within Su Mu grew stronger.

To be precise, Su Mu is transforming into a rotting corpse.

What does even the most severe injury mean to a corpse?
This is the method that Master Xuanxuan told Su Mu.

First die, then live.

Only by turning oneself into a dead person can one be unafraid of the attacks of the Desolate Creatures and have a chance to seize their power.

This process looks simple, but it's actually like walking a tightrope.

If he is not careful, he could really become dead.

If the attacks of the Desolate Creatures were so easy to withstand, this Desolate Calamity would not have occurred.

A flicker of shock crossed Jin Hong's eyes.

He experienced two great calamities.

In the last great calamity of the desolate heavens, the transcendent being at that time ultimately perished together with a desolate heaven creature.

Only by leaving his own strength to him could he successfully transcend.

He was well aware of the power of the Desolate Sky Creatures.

Even he hadn't expected that Master Xuanxuan would come up with such a method to restrain the creatures of the Desolate Heaven.

This incredible method has not only been used by Master Xuanxuan, but now even Su Mu has used it.

They wiped out two Desolate Creatures in one fell swoop, something no one had ever accomplished in countless Desolate Calamities.

He had originally prepared to sacrifice himself to force the Desolate Creatures back to the Desolate Plains.

But now it seems he doesn't need to do that.

boom!
As the body of that desolate creature exploded into a cloud of blood mist, it was completely absorbed by the chains emanating from Su Mu's body.

The other creatures of the desolate sky all showed expressions of horror.

The next moment, they retreated like a whirlwind.

Su Mu then let out a long, inhuman howl. (End of Chapter)
