The First Marquis of Daxuan

Everyone inside and outside the star gate stood frozen in place.

The transcendent Jin Hong has re-entered a state of omnipresence, making his figure difficult to detect with the naked eye.

The others stared in the direction where Su Mu disappeared, remaining silent for a long time.

Su Mu plundered the power of a desolate creature and then killed it.

The other creatures of the desolate sky were frightened by this scene and retreated back to the desolate sky plain.

But Su Mu also seemed to fall into chaos, and he fled far away.

Everyone's face was etched with sorrow.

They didn't know Su Mu's current condition, nor whether Su Mu could pull through.

“Since I met Su, he has created miracles time and time again, and I think this time will be no exception.”

Protector Niu said in a deep voice, "I believe he will definitely be able to defeat the power of the Desolate Heaven and return."

He will come back!

Luo Anning and the others spoke in low voices, their words revealing deep confidence.

Although everyone believed that Su Mu could create another miracle this time, they themselves knew that they were not actually that confident.

This time, the enemy is different from the past; this time, the enemy is the Desolate Creatures.

No one knows the origin of the Desolate Sky creatures, but everyone knows that the Desolate Sky's power is almost invincible.

Countless transcendent beings have died at the hands of the Desolate Sky creatures, so Su Mu's ability to kill one of them is already a miracle.

Can he really withstand the onslaught of the desolate power?

No one knew.

…………

Su Mu transformed into a golden ray of light and streaked across the universe, maintaining the last sliver of clarity with immense willpower.

He felt drowsy.

It's like the feeling he had after not sleeping for days and nights when he was just an ordinary person.

It was a feeling that you could fall asleep at any moment.

Even if the pain no longer stimulates his nerves, he may close his eyes and fall asleep at any moment.

But Su Mu knew he couldn't sleep.

If you're really sleepy, you can sleep; once you've had enough sleep, you'll naturally wake up.

But now he knows very well that once he falls asleep, he will never wake up again.

Once he closes his eyes, there will be no more Su Mu in the world, but only a new desolate creature.

So even though he was extremely tired, he still forced himself to keep going.

"Even if I die, I will never become a creature of the Desolate Sky!"

Su Mu bit his tongue, and the power within him had transformed from clear water into a turbid Yellow River.

That power was completely assaulting his body and soul.

He himself has very little power left to control.

boom!
Su Mu landed heavily on a desolate, uninhabited planet, crashing straight into its interior.

The earth and rocks fell with a crash, burying his body.

Just before Su Mu was about to lose his last bit of consciousness, he suddenly saw the system panel in front of him.

The accumulated points on the system panel gleamed brightly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mu roared inwardly, "Add some points!"

In the blink of an eye.

Countless points vanished rapidly, replaced by an endless stream of memories flooding Su Mu's mind.

A fleeting moment, yet an eternity.

In his memory, Su Mu was attacked by the power of the Desolate Heaven.

He completely transformed into a desolate creature.

His body continued to decay until it became rotting flesh, and in order to recover, he began to kill.

Throughout the universe, for every person he kills, a small portion of his rotting flesh transforms into fresh blood and flesh.

If he kills enough, his body will recover its health.

This happens every tens of thousands of years.

Each killing sustained his health for tens of thousands of years.

After countless cycles, Su Mu actually regained a little bit of consciousness.

That sliver of consciousness was restored from the Taoist scriptures dormant within his body.

The Daoist scriptures were deduced by him in order to fight against the power of the Desolate Heaven.

It was also the Daoist scriptures that preserved a sliver of his consciousness in his final moments.

Then, over an infinite amount of time, the Daoist scriptures found an opportunity to release this wisp of consciousness.

With this sliver of consciousness, Su Mu began to fight against the power of the desolate heavens.

One year, two years...

This process is extremely slow.

Tens of thousands of years passed as his consciousness struggled for control of his body.

One devastating calamity after another.

He and other wild creatures slaughtered the heavens.

That last vestige of clear consciousness watched helplessly as his body went on to kill, yet it couldn't stop him.

The endless slaughter almost caused his consciousness to completely succumb.

In fact.

His consciousness had already sunk into oblivion.

However, with the power of the system panel, time seemed to turn back. When one path was blocked, the system panel would take him back in time and lead him to another path.

Even Su Mu himself didn't know how many times he had done this.

Finally, there was one.

His consciousness grew stronger amidst the killing, and he gradually suppressed the power of the Desolate Heaven.

He deduced the Daoist scriptures and suppressed the power of the desolate heavens.

After tens of thousands of years, he suddenly had an epiphany.

The power of the Daoist scriptures erupted suddenly, refining all the desolate power.

The power within him, which was originally as turbid as the Yellow River, has become clear and pure.

One year, two years...

Time seemed to lose its meaning as Su Mu deduced and practiced the Daoist scriptures year after year.

It wasn't until countless years later that the power within him finally returned to its complete clarity.

And the last bit of desolate power was completely refined by him.

He finally regained his body!
Countless years of exploration, countless deaths and falls, have finally brought us back to life.

And Su Mu finally deduced his Taoist scriptures to a perfect state.

A Daoist scripture that can perfectly restrain the power of the Desolate Heaven, and even refine it!
"what!"

Memories so vast that even Su Mu could hardly bear them flooded his mind.

These countless years of experience have actually passed in the blink of an eye to the outside world.

At this moment, the power of the desolate heavens had almost completely invaded Su Mu's body and soul.

As the vast amount of memories flooded into Su Mu's mind, Su Mu instantly grasped the Dao Scripture that he had deduced and perfected.

"Get out of here!"

He let out a painful roar, and the Daoist scriptures within his body began to circulate wildly.

His body, which was about to be completely invaded by the power of the desolate heaven, was instantly regained some control by him.

As the Daoist scriptures circulated, the power of the desolate heavens began to recede, while Su Mu's own power began to surge.

This time is different from the last time it absorbed the power of the desolate heaven.

Previously, he had only seized the power of the Desolate Heaven and used himself as a container to contain it.

But this time, he was truly refining the power of the Desolate Heaven.

He transformed the power of the desolate heavens into a power that truly belonged to him.

The process was slow and steady. The pain on Su Mu's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a calm expression.

He sat cross-legged inside this desolate planet, slowly refining the power of the desolate heavens.

Even Su Mu himself didn't realize that the system panel in front of him was slowly merging into his body and disappearing from his life.

Because he was being invaded by the power of the desolate sky, Su Mu himself was unaware of this abnormality.

In the past, with a little extra skill points, he could instantly improve his cultivation level.

This time, although he grasped the perfect state of the Daoist scripture through this additional skill, he did not directly reach that state.

Or rather, he was unable to directly refine the power of the Desolate Heaven.

The system panel gave him insights into the Daoist scriptures, but did not directly grant him cultivation levels within them.

Now, he needs to rely on his own strength and time to refine the power of the desolate heaven.

…………

The sun and moon revolve, and time never stops.

Just as Su Mu was cultivating the Daoist scriptures in a secluded place.

The catastrophe of the universe has once again erupted.

The creatures of the Desolate Heaven have returned, and the Great Calamity of the Desolate Heaven has descended once more.

Moreover, having learned from the previous lesson, this time Huangtian Biotechnology adopted an unprecedented strategy.

They actually subdued some creatures and then used those creatures to kill.

Moreover, they are gradually testing the waters, seemingly afraid that someone like Su Mu and Master Xuanxuan will reappear.

The transcendent Jin Hong reappears, organizing all the living beings of the heavens to fight against the creatures of the desolate heavens.

This great calamity has become a protracted battle.

As time went by, the Desolate Creatures gradually discovered that Su Mu and Xuanxuan Shangren were just two exceptions in this universe.

No one else can threaten them in the same way.

So they began to unleash their power, slaughtering all living beings in the universe.

The transcendent Jin Hong was quickly injured, but he still fought with all his might to protect a large number of beings from the heavens as they retreated to the location of the Great Xuan Dynasty. He guarded the Star Gate alone, enduring the successive attacks from the desolate creatures.

Elephant demon, bear demon, golden roc, and also black dragon Ao Kun, Xuanwu, bull protector, rat protector...

Zhao Baiqi and others watched from behind the star gate as the Transcendent One Jin Hong's blood spilled across the universe.

They wanted to make a move, but they didn't have the strength of Su Mu and Xuanxuan Shangren. Facing the Desolate Creatures, they were powerless to fight back.

They could only fight to the death against those traitors who chose to side with the Wilderness Creatures.

The fighting continued from morning till night, and from night till morning.

One day, two days...

One month, two months...

One year, two years...

Countless beings from all the heavens have perished.

Everyone persevered.

Even the detached Jin Hong persists.

As more and more beings from all the heavens died, the rotting flesh on those desolate creatures began to regenerate, and their strength continued to rise.

With this ebb and flow, the situation of all living beings in the world has become precarious.

Even the transcendent Jin Hong was forced to the entrance of the Star Gate.

"You who transcend, you will die today."

Your death will allow me to enjoy peace for thousands of years.

Those desolate creatures looked at the transcendent Jin Hong with greedy expressions.

"If you want to kill me, at least one of you will have to die with me."

Jin Hong, the Transcendent One, looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. He stood holding a knife, his face showing no fear.

With a long roar, the aura emanating from the transcendent Jin Hong began to rise steadily.

suddenly.

The phantom images of universes appeared behind him.

Those universes exploded with a deafening roar, transforming into a force that surged into the longsword in his hand.

"cut!"

He took a step forward and slashed down heavily with his sword.

Rumble!
In an instant, heaven and earth were separated.

Even the heavens and the universe seemed to be on the verge of destruction.

The creatures of the desolate sky cried out in alarm and anger.

puff!

With a soft sound, an arm flew high into the air.

The transcendent Jin Hong severed the arm of a desolate creature with a single strike.

He pressed forward, intending to completely annihilate that desolate creature.

In a one-on-one fight, even if his strike, unleashed by burning his very essence, couldn't completely kill that desolate creature, it would at least severely injure it.

But now, they are not fighting alone.

The Wilderness Creatures have absolutely no sense of martial ethics.

Seeing that the transcendent Jin Hong was about to kill a Desolate Heaven creature, the other Desolate Heaven creatures all made their moves.

In their eyes, the transcendent Jin Hong is the most delicious medicinal ingredient in all the heavens and universes.

Eating one transcendent being, Jin Hong, is equivalent to them eating billions of other living beings.

The delicious temptation is irresistible to them.

Every creature in the desolate sky would not give up the chance to kill the transcendent Jin Hong.

Bang bang bang!
Countless decaying claws fell on the back of the transcendent Jin Hong.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The desolate creatures, having consumed the flesh and blood of the transcendent Jin Hong, couldn't help but show expressions of ecstasy on their faces.

Large chunks of their rotting flesh fell off, and then new flesh grew back.

The transcendent Jin Hong let out a painful cry. His momentum from the strike had been exhausted, and in the end, the desolate creature still managed to escape.

"I am Jin Hong, the transcendent one. If you want to kill me, you'll have to pay with your lives."

The transcendent Jin Hong roared.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, actually wielding his sword and charging into the desolate biome.

Puff puff!
The Desolate Creature's claws landed on him, and his longsword pierced through the Desolate Creature's body.

Both sides possess the power of transcendence, yet at this moment, they both adopted a strategy of mutual destruction.

For every bit of damage inflicted on the transcendent Jin Hong by the creatures of the desolate sky, the creatures themselves would be injured by two bits.

But there is more than one Desolate Creature.

They shared the burden of the harm.

With the accumulation of injuries, even Jin Hong, a transcendent being, stumbled.

Seeing an opportunity, the Wilderness Creatures attacked from all directions, determined to end the battle completely.

Just at this time.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind the transcendent Jin Hong.

puff!
A claw of a wild, primordial creature gripped the man's body, tearing it apart.

That was an unnamed powerful being among all the universes.

He used his own life to shield Jin Hong, the transcendent one, from a fatal blow.

The detached Jin Hong's tiger-like eyes were filled with tears.

He didn't even know the person's name.

They had no personal relationship, but the other was willing to trade his life for his.

The reason for this is that the other party believes they can stop the Desolate Creatures.

The transcendent Jin Hong looked up to the sky and let out a mournful howl.

Swish!
He swung his knife.

The desolate creature that was devouring flesh and blood raised its hand to block.

Even the body of a desolate creature could not withstand a single strike from the transcendent Jin Hong.

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

"The transcendent Jin Hong roared."

His figure vanished abruptly, dodging the attacks of those desolate creatures.

Almost simultaneously, he reformed his form.

At that moment, he appeared behind a wild creature and stabbed it through the back of the heart.

"Ow!"

The desolate creature let out a miserable scream.

Its eyes flashed with malice, and it actually grabbed the Transcendent Golden Rainbow with its backhand, opening its mouth to bite down on it.

In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The body of the transcendent Jin Hong became ethereal and disappeared, then reformed hundreds of feet away.

He staggered and almost fell.

A person who has transcended worldly concerns can't even stand steadily, which shows how much he has been exhausted.

Looking back at the Star Gate, the Transcendent Jin Hong sighed inwardly.

Has it finally come to this?
I thought that because of the appearance of Su Mu and Master Xuanxuan, the Desolate Heaven Creatures had retreated to the Desolate Heaven Plain, and this Desolate Heaven Calamity could finally end.

In that case, he could continue to live.

But now, he has done his best.

He tried his best, but he still couldn't stop this devastating calamity.

That's all the skill he can achieve.

So, he should leave his transcendence power to the next transcendent being, and he himself might be able to take a desolate creature with him on his journey.

He took a desolate creature with him, which will make things easier for the next transcendent being.

As a transcendent being, this is his destiny and his mission.

"Then, let's go."

"I am transcendent," Jin Hong thought to himself as he stretched out his arms.

Just at this time.

Suddenly, a beam of light appeared from nowhere and instantly shot into the body of the desolate creature that he had just injured.

No sooner said than done.

At what moment did countless rays of light burst forth from the body of that desolate creature?

A terrifying scream echoed through the universe, and the face of the desolate creature showed a look of terror as it struggled desperately.

But those rays of light, like nails to a bone, were actually melting away its flesh and blood.

In just a few breaths, the flesh and blood of the desolate creature had completely melted away, leaving only a skeleton covered with black spots.

Although only a skeleton remained, the desolate creature was still alive.

It cried out in terror and tried to flee back to the desolate plains.

But at this very moment...

Golden chains shot out from the depths of the universe, instantly binding the limbs and head of the skeletal skeleton.

Click.

The desolate creature, now a skeleton, was bound in the universe, forming a large "X" shape.

"die!"

A deep voice rang out, and the golden chains were pulled hard.

The skeletal creature of the desolate heavens was torn to pieces in an instant, as if it had been torn apart by five horses.

Before it could reform, the golden chains lashed at each bone like whips, instantly shattering them.

A creature from the desolate heavens vanished without a trace, its remains completely lost, disappearing utterly from the world. (End of Chapter)
