Mythical Three Kingdoms: Martial Arts Reach Divine Ranks, I Alone Rule the World

"Gongzhi, what kind of look is that?"

Guo Jia's senses were sharp, and he instantly caught the hint of mocking malice in Zhang Mu's eyes.

What Guo Jia found even more unbelievable was...

Facing his close friend Zhang Mu at this moment, he was momentarily reminded of the illusory image of the Overlord that had already vanished on the golden road, and felt a faint imperial aura emanating from Zhang Mu.

Could it be that the drop of royal blood that entered his body just now allowed his friend to touch the highest threshold of the Overlord Realm?

Thinking of this.

Guo Jia, no longer caring about the perceived rudeness in the other's eyes, directly asked, "Gongzhi!"

"Just how strong are you now? Jia feels like you've become even stronger?"

"How strong is it?"

Zhang Mu drew out his words, speaking slowly and deliberately, "It's hard to say against a true Overlord Realm expert, since we haven't fought one yet, but..."

Zhang Mu's gaze fell upon the black mist portal in the void that had not yet disappeared.

"Destroying this gate should be a foregone conclusion."

The moment the words left his mouth!

"boom!"

A surge of purple blood energy erupted from Zhang Mu's limbs and bones, enveloping his entire body.

The overwhelming and unparalleled imperial might swept across the land, causing the entire world to suddenly come to a standstill.

"Clang!"

A black halberd appeared in Zhang Mu's hand.

As purple blood energy enveloped the black halberd, Zhang Mu gently swung the halberd towards the portal of black mist...

A beam of light from a halberd stretched across the sky, tearing space apart.

Just like the overlord phantom that had previously merged with a wisp of Xiang Yu's remnant will, the halberd's light had not even touched the black mist portal itself before the eerie black mist surrounding it was easily shattered.

Even after the black mist dissipated, the halberd's edge continued to slash towards the portal of the black mist...

At the critical moment.

The ancient and mysterious black mist portal seemed to have encountered a life-or-death crisis. The void trembled slightly, and layers of spatial ripples suddenly appeared, as if time and space had been superimposed and obscured for eternity.

Followed by.

Taking advantage of the strange changes in the world, the black mist portal vanished without a trace, completely disappearing into the realm of illusion and avoiding the thunderous strike.

hum!

The halberd's sharp edge, having lost its target, traversed the endless night sky before finally exploding with a deafening roar in the vast moonlit night.

It transformed into countless tiny purple lights, which gradually dissipated into the world.

The strange phenomenon of the black mist portal actively avoiding battle and retreating in fear caused Zhang Mu and Guo Jia to be slightly taken aback.

"Kongji!"

"Why does Jia feel that the black mist portal is wary of your halberd strike just now?"

Guo Jia felt that he was increasingly unable to see through his close friends.

You should know this.

Previously, the remnant soul of the Overlord, carrying supreme dominance, attacked, but the black mist gate remained as stable as an ancient rock, directly confronting it without yielding an inch.

But now.

Before his close friend's sword even arrived, he had already taken the initiative to avoid its sharp edge.

This is enough to show that Zhang Mu's intimidating power at this moment has already approached the level of the Overlord Realm.

"You're afraid of me? Fengxiao, don't be ridiculous."

"If the owner of that imperial tomb heard this, he would probably laugh himself to death."

If Zhang Mu hadn't experienced the Overlord's phantom from a first-person perspective and witnessed everything it went through after entering the black mist portal, his strength might have been greatly enhanced, and he might have accepted his close friend Guo Jia's words.

but.

Upon thinking of the terrifyingly powerful Overlord Blood Molt, Zhang Mu shook his head slightly.

Recalling his two encounters with the imperial tomb, he realized that the tomb always surprised and amazed him.

Even if one day he were to encounter a flawless imperial being emerging from the black mist portal, Zhang Mu would not be surprised at all.

Rather than saying that the imperial tomb, with its unfathomable depths, was wary of Zhang Mu, Zhang Mu preferred to believe that the great battle tonight had come to an end, and the owner of the imperial tomb had simply chosen to stop and cut his losses in time.

Thinking of this.

Zhang Mu lowered his gaze, looking down at the devastated Xiongnu royal court below.

The scattered remains of terracotta warriors and the fleeing remnants of the Xiongnu were the last embers of this great war.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes!"

"Tonight's chaos should come to a complete end."

A deep murmur echoed throughout the heavens and earth, and Zhang Mu no longer suppressed his aura.

next moment.

The vast imperial power dormant within him was completely unleashed, sweeping across the entire royal court!

The emperor's might was overwhelming, like a heavenly prison descending, covering the entire wilderness.

The terracotta warriors that remained scattered all over the ground were instantly frozen by the power of the imperial way. Their bodies weathered away inch by inch, turning into fine sand that fell back to the earth, no longer showing any ferocity.

Those lucky survivors who scattered and fled...

Faced with this pure and supreme imperial pressure, they didn't even have time to utter a wail before their bodies silently crumbled and vanished into the world.

In an instant, the once bustling and tragic Xiongnu royal court fell into deathly silence.

The killings ceased, and the wailing subsided.

The night wind was bleak, and the entire plain was devoid of any life.

In the middle of the wilderness, the only thing standing was the tattered Sirius banner.

This banner, which once embodied the destiny of the entire Xiongnu tribe, has now lost its luster and become dull and lifeless, fluttering helplessly in the cool evening breeze.

Beneath the great banner, corpses lay strewn about.

The leaders of the five tribes, including Xubu Clan's Guduhou, Right Wise King Huchuquan, and Xiutu, all perished, their corpses lying stiff on the ground.

Even in their dying moments, their faces were still etched with extreme terror and disbelief.

Not far away, inside the dilapidated and torn tent of the Chanyu king.

Qiangqu Chanyu had already died, his face showing helplessness and relief.

At the entrance of the royal tent.

His eldest son, the Left Wise King Yufuluo, glared angrily, his body still in a fighting stance.

But in his left heart, a rusty terracotta warrior's blade pierced through him, the fatal blow severing all his life force.

Zhang Mu surveyed the desolate landscape, his indifferent voice echoing beneath the night sky:

"After tonight, the Southern Xiongnu tribe will cease to exist."

As soon as he finished speaking, he lightly struck out with his palm in mid-air.

The immense palm force suppressed all directions, and with the dim Heavenly Wolf Banner at its core, the land within a ten-mile radius collapsed with a deafening roar.

The earth shook violently, and the roar was incessant.

The underground springs surged forth, and the clear water gushed forth, quickly forming a clear, tranquil lake.

Given time, this site of the destroyed Xiongnu royal court will surely evolve into a vast lake.

The world has changed, and nothing remains of the past.

Guo Jia, who was standing to the side, witnessed this supreme power that could change the world. His usually calm and resourceful mind was completely unbalanced. His voice trembled slightly, and he was full of shock.

"Kongji!"

"You should have already entered the Overlord Realm by now, right?"

"If one had not ascended to the imperial path, how could one have single-handedly transformed mountains and rivers, unleashing such unparalleled power?"

As he spoke, Guo Jia took a deep breath.

He forcefully suppressed the turmoil in his heart and pressed on with unwavering certainty.

"You don't need to try to fob me off with some talk about being a half-step Overlord."

"Jia dares to assert."

"Even if that Xianbei king Tan Shihuai were to be resurrected, with your current strength, it seems you could easily kill him with your bare hands!"

Guo Jia did not intend to investigate further.

However, Zhang Mu's combat power tonight was too astonishing, almost overturning all common sense about cultivation, so he couldn't help but want to investigate.

Faced with repeated inquiries from his close friend, Zhang Mu did not immediately deny it.

He responded with action.

Zhang Mu slowly withdrew his soaring purple blood energy, and the vast imperial divine might around him gradually receded into his body, causing the extreme pressure between heaven and earth to slowly fade away.

"Have you noticed anything unusual?"

Zhang Mu looked calmly at Guo Jia.

Before Guo Jia could answer...

Suddenly.

Within Zhang Mu's dormant body, wisps of purple blood energy once again erupted, and a faint imperial aura reappeared.

This imperial aura, sometimes hidden, sometimes revealed...

Guo Jia's eyes widened in astonishment and doubt, completely unable to fathom Zhang Mu's true level of skill at this moment.

"Fengxiao!"

At this moment, Zhang Mu finally spoke, "How should I describe it now?"

"Mu's current realm should be above the half-step Overlord Realm, but he has never truly stepped into the Overlord Realm."

"but."

"With the enhancement of purple blood energy, he possesses the strength to fight against a Tyrant Emperor Realm expert."

"Um!"

"If I had to give this level of attainment a definition, I think it would be... an alternative path to imperial rule."

"An alternative path to imperial rule?"

Guo Jia was slightly taken aback when he heard this term; it was the first time he had ever heard such a phrase.

"That's right, it's an alternative path to imperial rule."

Zhang Mu nodded affirmatively.

"Even without reaching the Emperor Realm, one can fight against those at the Emperor Realm!"

"Even if the Emperor himself arrives, we can still contend with him!"
