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

Liao's elder brother is invincible under heaven?

The moment Zhang Liao conceived this thought, Guo Jia sensed it through his supernatural ability to perceive souls.

After glancing at Zhang Liao, he subtly turned his gaze to his close friend Zhang Mu beside him.

"Gongzhi, your brother thinks you're invincible now, what do you think?"

Guo Jia said this.

The one who reacted the most was not Zhang Mu, the person being ridiculed, but Zhang Liao, who was meeting Guo Jia for the first time.

Zhang Liao was naturally surprised that a stranger had read his mind so clearly.

Although his elder brother Zhang Mu could see through his thoughts in their past interactions, that was mostly due to the fact that the two brothers were too familiar with each other.

In the words of his elder brother Zhang Mu.

The moment the younger brother bent over, the elder brother knew what Zhang Liao was up to.

"Brother!"

Zhang Liao called out to Zhang Mu, a hint of wariness towards Guo Jia rising on his face.

This kind of vigilance is not a warning against external dangers, but rather an instinctive resistance stemming from the psychological level.

"Wen Yuan, the man beside me is named Guo Fengxiao."

"Something I've mentioned to you before."

"As for how he can see through your thoughts, it's simply a matter of using supernatural powers. As long as you are on guard against your thoughts when facing him, he can't do anything about it!"

Zhang Mu directly exposed Guo Jia's true colors, revealing to Zhang Liao how to guard against Guo Jia.

"Do you believe that I, your elder brother, am invincible?"

Zhang Mu shrugged and said in a nonchalant tone, "Maybe only God knows."

"Being invincible in the world doesn't mean there won't be enemies in the heavens!"

"Invincible now..."

"Who knows if one day a terrifyingly powerful old monster might suddenly emerge from the past?"

Guo Jia, who was listening to Zhang Mu's words, nodded in deep agreement when he heard Zhang Mu's last sentence.

To some extent.

The overlord phantom he and Zhang Mu encountered tonight belonged to the category of "old monsters".

"Is that so?"

Zhang Liao responded with a skeptical tone, remaining doubtful of his elder brother Zhang Mu's explanation.

the reason is simple.

He had never truly understood his elder brother Zhang Mu's strength.

In addition, it's because my older brother always likes to keep things to himself...

Even if one day he were to see his elder brother wielding a halberd and angrily beheading the enemy from the heavens he had spoken of, Zhang Liao would not be surprised at all.

Upon noticing his brother's attitude, Zhang Mu's face immediately darkened.

then.

Zhang Liao only saw his brother's figure shift before he felt a slap on the back of his head.

"Where did all these come from... really!"

"Instead of wasting your time, why don't you take Fengxiao to the prefect's mansion and tell him about the Southern Xiongnu's attack on the garrison commander's residence tonight and the complete annihilation of the Southern Xiongnu royal court?"

Zhang Mu did not find Guo Qun, the governor of Yanmen County, in the town general's residence, and thus knew that his younger brother Zhang Liao had not yet informed Guo Qun.

"The Southern Xiongnu were completely wiped out?!?"

Zhang Liao's body suddenly trembled as he heard another horrifying piece of news from his elder brother.

He had assumed that his brother's absence tonight when he was attacked meant he had gone to deal with the enemy's backup plan.

I never expected this.

My brother actually wiped out the entire Southern Xiongnu.

Then I thought back to the golden road I had seen on the horizon not long ago...

Zhang Liao vaguely guessed how his elder brother Zhang Mu had broken through to the Emperor Realm.

He must have fought a life-or-death battle with that figure on the golden road before finally breaking through.

"Gongzhi, your brother here really knows how to add drama to your life!"

"Hahaha, he actually thought you broke through after a bloody battle with that Overlord phantom! Moreover, he doesn't seem to know that you haven't truly reached the Overlord Realm, but have only stepped into an alternative Emperor Path level!"

Despite Zhang Mu's prior warning, Zhang Liao, who was in shock and briefly lost his composure during his first encounter with Guo Jia, was once again able to have Guo Jia perceive his thoughts.

Zhang Mu waved his hand wearily.

"Forget it, Fengxiao, on your way to find your uncle, explain these things to Wenyuan for me!"

Having no intention of letting Guo Jia stay overnight at the garrison commander's mansion, Zhang Mu disappeared from Guo Jia and Zhang Liao's sight after speaking, returning to his own room.

Sitting upright in the room, Zhang Mu, who had just broken through, finally had time to examine himself.

He had a premonition that when all the crimson blood in his body was transformed into purple blood, he would truly reach the Overlord Realm.

But here's the problem...

How can the red blood in the body be transformed smoothly?

Zhang Mu immediately thought of the chaotic world within his body formed after the Wen Palace Cave Heaven and the Blood Sea Life Domain were both shattered.

Because the purple aura that filled it was exactly the same as the wisps of purple blood in the crimson blood within his own body.

Moreover, Zhang Mu was clear on one point:

The reason why his blood and qi appear purple when he erupts is entirely due to the influence of the purple qi of the chaotic world within his body.

As long as his blood and qi surge, the purple qi will rush out of the chaotic world and automatically merge with the blood and qi in his body, changing the color of his blood and greatly enhancing his combat power, giving him the majesty of an emperor.

Wait until the blood and qi return to normal.

The purple energy will then silently dissolve and return to the chaotic world within the body.

"so……"

Zhang Mu's divine sense focused on the wisps of purple qi and blood within his body, and he thought to himself, "If I want to quickly convert all the crimson blood in my body into purple blood, the simplest and most direct method is to keep the qi and blood in my body constantly in a turbulent and active state?"

"Then, through this subtle process, the blood continuously merges with the purple energy within the chaotic world, thereby propelling itself to transform into purple blood?"

To verify this conjecture, Zhang Mu casually set up a barrier to isolate the aura.

"boom!"

next moment.

Zhang Mu's body erupted with purple blood energy, and the imperial might filled the barrier.

Zhang Mu did not focus his energy on sensing the sudden surge of imperial power within himself, but instead constantly used his mind to pay attention to the changes in the blood within his body and the purple energy of the chaotic world.

However, during the continued observation, Zhang Mu couldn't help but frown.

Because he discovered it.

It seems my initial assumptions were slightly off.

The relationship between the purple energy in the chaotic world and the blood in his body was not the simple fusion he imagined, but a slow replacement during the fusion process.

Zhang Mu's impression...

Just as his original crimson blood could hardly withstand the sudden burst of imperial power, every moment he remained in the imperial realm, his crimson blood would be depleted.

This kind of loss is irreversible.

Every bit of crimson blood lost is replenished by purple blood transformed from the corresponding purple qi.

Between loss and replenishment, a delicate balance is formed, which is why the crimson blood in the body is mixed with wisps of purple blood.

Zhang Mu secretly estimated the speed at which the purple aura transformed into crimson blood...

Even if he maintains the state of imperial power for a long time, it will still take at least two Kun years for the crimson blood in his body to be completely removed and replaced with brand new purple blood.

After realizing this, Zhang Mu couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"So, in the end, the original blood in Mu's body became a hindrance to my advancement to a higher realm!"

"Where can you even reason with this?!"

With a sigh, Zhang Mu exited the Emperor's Path state, but his divine sense remained within the chaotic world inside his body.

Everything was indeed as he had observed in detail.

The amount of purple energy returning to the chaotic world within the body decreased slightly, but the reduction in purple energy had no significant impact on the chaotic world.

Because compared to the reduced amount of purple energy, the amount of purple energy generated spontaneously within the chaotic world of the body is enormous.

And that massive amount of purple energy is not static.

Even if Zhang Mu doesn't use them, they will still be strengthened by the breathing and respiration of the four sacred beasts, ancient ancestors, and a host of ferocious beasts that have emerged in the chaotic world.

From the perspective of divine insight...

Zhang Mu clearly saw that the ancient people, who previously needed the hidden protection of the sages in the Heavenly Pillar, were now able to unite and hunt down the ferocious beasts on the wasteland.

Under the scorching heat of the campfire, chunks of flesh from those ferocious beasts dripped purple blood, crackling and popping as they fell into the flames.

Not far away.

The corpse of a ferocious beast, already lifeless, lay sprawled on the ground, its purple blood flowing freely across the surface.

"Can these pieces of beast meat be used for the pasture's consumption?"

"Could Mu directly extract the purple blood from the corpses of ferocious beasts and integrate it into his body to actively accelerate the replacement of purple blood within his body?"

Zhang Mu was pondering this.

Suddenly.

He noticed a ripple spreading within the barrier he had set up.

A piece of roasted, charred meat dripping with purple blood and the lifeless corpse of a ferocious beast appeared before his eyes.

The meat chunks were fine, but the aroma was lingering.

However, the lifeless corpse of the ferocious beast was now emanating a faint, almost imperceptible, imperial aura.

Moonlight streamed through the window, casting soft shadows on the ground.

Zhang Mu's gaze was fixed on the ferocious beast's corpse that had suddenly appeared before him, along with the meat that emitted a strange fragrance...

He stood there stunned, utterly bewildered.

He never expected this.

It was merely a fleeting thought of his that caused the remains of living beings from the chaotic world within his body to cross the barrier between reality and illusion and manifest in the mortal world where he lived.

"What's this?"

"Heaven and earth have granted me a unique path; am I going to create my own cheat code?"

Zhang Mu murmured softly, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock, his thoughts a jumbled mess.

next moment.

He stepped forward slowly, and as a wisp of sharp blood energy condensed at his fingertips, he used his fingertips as blades to gently slice open the thick, rough skin of the ferocious beast.

"laugh!"

A faint tearing sound echoed in the room.

The flesh of the ferocious beast's corpse was cracked open, revealing crisscrossing tendons to Zhang Mu.

Its vibrant texture has no hint of illusion.

Furthermore, warm, dark purple blood slowly flowed out, carrying a bloody stench that permeated the air.

At the same time, a faint lingering imperial aura slowly emanated from the flesh of the corpse.

It was not fiery or violent, but rather like a mountain pressing down, causing the surrounding air to stagnate and distort slightly.

Sensing the faint imperial aura lingering on the corpse, Zhang Mu thought of the sacred beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird—that guarded the four cardinal directions in the chaotic world within his body.

Even an ordinary, unremarkable ferocious beast can possess the majesty of an emperor...

If he could materialize those four sacred beasts into the outside world, wouldn't each of them possess strength comparable to the Overlord Realm?

Other royal journeys are merely paved with golden roads.

If it were me, I would change my mind.

It is directly protected by the legendary Four Divine Beasts. When encountering enemies, there is no need for you to take action. The Four Divine Beasts are enough to crush the opponent.

Where thoughts lead, actions follow.

Zhang Mu immediately calmed his mind and sent his divine sense into the chaotic world within his body, intending to draw the four sacred beasts out of the void and descend into the mortal world.

But the very moment this thought arose in his mind...

"BOOM!!!"

Zhang Mu's divine sense saw the chaotic world within his body suddenly tremble violently, the heavens and earth roared incessantly, and even the universe trembled.

Followed by.

The entire chaotic world was filled with turbulent winds and clouds, and purple energy surged like a raging tsunami.

The pillars of heaven, formed from the many sages who supported the chaotic world, trembled and shook, shattering the tranquility within the chaotic world.

Along with them, countless wild and ferocious beasts and strange creatures roared in terror, scattering and fleeing aimlessly, living in constant fear.

It was as if the end of the world had arrived, and the world was about to collapse.

The ancient inhabitants within that chaotic world also knelt down, clasped their hands together, and bowed to the heavens.

Their faces were ashen, their eyes filled with extreme fear.

He kept muttering prayers, hoping that peace would return to heaven and earth.

Then.

Zhang Mu's divine sense also sensed that the four sacred beasts guarding the four poles of the chaotic world were now simultaneously radiating brilliant holy light because of his thought.

The Azure Dragon descends amidst a sky full of azure mist, the White Tiger bursts forth with the sharp energy of Geng metal, the Vermilion Bird ignites with a prairie fire, and martial spirit covers the thick, dark yellow earth.

The four sacred beasts, with their overwhelming divine power, were not responding to his willful summons.

Instead, they united to resist his pulling force and tried their best to stabilize the interior of the chaotic world and suppress the turmoil that was happening between heaven and earth.

Upon seeing this.

Zhang Mu's heart tightened, and he immediately extinguished the thought of summoning the Four Sacred Beasts.

Even if he were dull-witted, he would know that this path would not work.

as predicted.

As Zhang Mu's thought completely dissipated...

The endless turmoil that ravaged the chaotic world gradually subsided, and the surging purple energy slowly returned to its proper place.

The ferocious beasts that had been running wildly stopped, and the ancestors who had been kneeling in prayer slowly rose, and everything seemed to have returned to normal.

"No, it hasn't fully returned to normal!"

Zhang Mu's divine sense reached a profound level, allowing him to survey the entire chaotic world.

He keenly noticed it.

The total amount of primordial purple energy permeating the chaotic world within his body had quietly decreased slightly compared to before.

Those slight losses are imperceptible, yet they are real.

"Is it because there's a missing beast corpse and a piece of roasted meat inside the chaotic world?"

To confirm my suspicions...

Zhang Mu once again manipulated his divine sense, locking it onto a savage beast in a vibrant state, brimming with life force, on the chaotic earth, attempting to draw the beast into the external world.

however.

Once, twice, three times...

No matter how much he urged his divine sense or repeatedly pulled his thoughts, he remained unmoved.

The ferocious beast remained coiled in place, pacing lazily without making any move.

There has never been a trace of it or its presence in the outside world.

"interesting!"

"It seems that the chaotic world within the body has its own rules and taboos, which do not allow living beings to manifest outside."

Zhang Mu's eyes lit up slightly. While marveling at the profound rules of the chaotic world, his divine sense turned to a corner inside the chaotic world.

There lay the incomplete remains of a strange beast.

Its fur was torn and its sinews and bones were exposed, undoubtedly the broken corpse left behind after the internal fighting among the ferocious beasts.

With a slight thought, Zhang Mu felt the chaotic world tremble slightly.

In an instant.

The mutilated beast corpse vanished into thin air within the chaotic world.

Correspondingly, the total amount of purple energy within the entire chaotic world also decreased slightly.

Inside Zhang Mu's room in the real world, the void light and shadow slightly distorted, and the incomplete beast corpse solidified and landed before Zhang Mu's eyes.

This moment.

With all the fog cleared, Zhang Mu finally understood:

Living beings within the chaotic world cannot appear outside, while dead beings can manifest outside.

The price of manifesting it is the consumption of its unique purple aura.

Zhang Mu couldn't tell whether this situation was good or bad.

But he had a premonition.

If he were to recklessly extract the corpses of ferocious beasts from the Chaos World, the evolution and development of the Chaos World would inevitably be affected.

And this influence is very likely to affect his spiritual path.

Realizing this, Zhang Mu's expression turned helpless.

"I wonder what the situation is like for the single Blood Sea Life Domain and Literary Palace Cave Heaven within the bodies of other Overlord Realm and Literary Sage Realm cultivators? Are they also self-contained chaotic worlds like the one within Mu's body?"

Having made up his mind to seek out a powerful expert at the Emperor Realm in the future to ask him some questions, Zhang Mu looked at the two beast corpses and the piece of roasted meat in front of him.

A glint flashed in Zhang Mu's eyes.

Suddenly, a wisp of pure and profound purple Dao fire flew out from between his eyebrows.

The purple flames first appeared.

It enveloped all the remains and flesh in the room.

This fire is the primordial fire that Zhang Mu mastered after entering the alternative Emperor Realm.

One of its functions is to cleanse all things of impurities and refine the essence of all things.

The purple flames burned fiercely, their aura both gentle and domineering. Under the envelopment and tempering of the beast corpses, impurities slowly melted away, and layers of essence continuously condensed and gathered.

At the end.

The beast's carcass was completely burned, leaving no trace of flesh or blood.

Only a clump of pure purple blood, the size of an infant's fist, remained, flowing quietly within the core of the flames, emanating endless imperial radiance.

The overwhelming imperial pressure slowly spread out, neither arrogant nor impatient, yet heavy enough to crush ordinary Martial Aspect Realm experts.

Zhang Mu stared intently at the pure purple blood, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

Without him.

This ball of purple blood, refined and condensed by the Dao Fire, contained an aura and power that were no different from the drop of imperial blood that the Overlord's phantom had given him when it perished.

They all possess the original source of imperial power and share the supreme imperial majesty.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Zhang Mu raised his hand and activated the purple flames, directly absorbing the extremely precious Imperial Purple Blood into his own meridians.

The instant the purple blood entered the body.

Zhang Mu then noticed that the crimson blood that was originally flowing in his body was immediately covered by strands of deep purple, and the purple blood mixed in within it became increasingly thick.
