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

"Greetings, Your Majesty?"

Zhang Mu did not avoid the three figures bowing to him from within the treasure trove of painting techniques. Instead, he asked them a question directly.

"You address Mu as Your Majesty, does that mean I will become emperor in the future?"

Zhang Mu wasn't worried at all that the three figures in front of him wouldn't be able to answer his question; he had already seen through their backgrounds.

The three flawless imperial wills left behind by Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in this painting treasure in the future imperial realm.

This kind of will is far stronger than the undying obsession left behind by Wang Mang, whom we saw before.

At least the memory is relatively complete.

Does being addressed as "Your Majesty" necessarily mean that you will become emperor in the future?

Zhang Mu's question startled the three strands of flawless imperial will for a moment. Then, Liu Bei's imperial will stepped forward and explained, "Those whose cultivation surpasses many imperial realms and enters the Emperor realm can also be called Your Majesty."

"In the near future, Your Majesty will become the first emperor of this era."

"Is that so!"

Zhang Mu responded calmly.

Even after learning from Liu Bei's future self that he would break through the shackles of the imperial path and ascend to the Emperor Realm to achieve immortality, he was not surprised at all.

This scene left the present-day Zhang Fei, who had just been kicked into the Painting Dao Treasure by Zhang Mu, speechless.

Although he didn't quite understand or clearly hear the conversation between these people, he could tell that the young man beside him would become the one with the highest level of cultivation in the future.

Is this the proper reaction to be considered the best in the world?

Zhang Fei's brain in the present world couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed that the figure in the painting with the same face as himself was looking at him with disdain. Without thinking, Zhang Fei glared back.

"What are you looking at!"

"Don't tell me you're from the future! If you anger someone, I'll tear this piece of trash to shreds right outside!"

The present-day Zhang Fei has no respect for the future Zhang Fei's flawless imperial will; he doesn't believe his future self can do anything to his present self.

"Hey!"

"Big brother, second brother, you two keep His Majesty company while I, Zhang Fei, go and give some pointers to my past self." The future Zhang Fei, the flawless emperor, cracked his knuckles as he clenched his fists.

And then...

With a cold snort, the peach blossoms in the Painting Dao Treasure formed a small inner world that encompassed Zhang Fei in the present world.

"Damn it!"

"Old Zhang, I suspect the reason my future self didn't break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm is because my past self didn't suffer enough!"

"How can you become strong without enduring hardship!"

"Come here, you good-for-nothing! Look at you, you haven't even stepped into the Martial Phase Realm yet. You're utterly useless, not even as good as Zhou Cang."

After saying a few words that nearly made Zhang Mu, Liu Bei, and Guan Yu lose their composure, Zhang Fei, the future Emperor Wuque, also entered that small world.

Not long after.

From within the small world came the sounds of Zhang Fei from the real world yelling and wailing for mercy.

"hehe!"

"Yide is truly a remarkable person!"

The embarrassment on Liu Bei's face was fleeting, and he chuckled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, please forgive my third brother's rudeness. That's just his nature."

"Is it really just a matter of personality?" Zhang Mu glanced meaningfully at Liu Bei and Guan Yu's flawless expressions and said, "If you two really have something you want to say in the future that you don't want to talk about with me, there's no need to go through all this trouble!"

"Why bother letting the present-day Yide get beaten up!"

After mentioning the flawless imperial spirits of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, Zhang Mu asked another question.

"You address me as Your Majesty because I have reached the Emperor realm. Does this mean that in the future I will not only not become Emperor, but I also will not have you under my command?"

"If that's really the case..."

Zhang Mu stroked his chin, and the words he spoke made the figures of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who were transformed from the incarnations of the flawless imperial spirit, tremble with fear.

"How did you convince my future self to spare your lives?"

What about Cao Cao and Sun Quan?

"You, Liu Bei, have already entered the realm of emperors, so there's no reason why the other two shouldn't be able to? Now that you've both become emperors, would you be willing to accept an existence that is superior to or beyond your control?"

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Huang Nian did not offer a lengthy explanation.

He only uttered one sentence.

"His Majesty!"

"The great era that will emerge in the future will be an unprecedented one, where emperors and sovereigns coexist!"

"and……"

"Sun Ce has become emperor?"

Zhang Mu was surprised for a moment, then nodded secretly and said, "That's right. After all, he inherited that person's legacy. It would be a huge joke if he couldn't become an emperor or overcome the life-and-death tribulation that was destined for him."

Immediately.

Zhang Mu then focused his attention on Liu Bei's statement about an unprecedented situation.

Considering the broken black halberd he had encountered today, he pondered, "So, what happened in the future?"

"What kind of unexpected event has occurred that has rendered even someone like me, whose cultivation has reached the Emperor Realm, in need of the assistance of you King Realm cultivators?"

Faced with Zhang Mu's question, Liu Bei's Wuque Huangnian remained silent.

Because he didn't know whether he should tell the story or not.

If too much information is presented, it might prevent Zhang Mu from even reaching the Emperor Realm in the future...

That would be a misfortune for them and for the world as a whole in the future.

after all.

As the future Zhang Mu, the first emperor of his time, he bore far too much responsibility for the entire land of China.

The enemies they will face in the future will be far more than just an Emperor or a Sovereign!

"Your Majesty, the future..."

Guan Yu, the Emperor of Wuque, spoke.

"Not only did he end the chaos, but he also led his elder brother, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and the future emperor of this world to settle accounts with the past and purify the ancient history of this world."

"We have many enemies, and the future is tough!"

"Along the long river of time, not only do ancient fortresses stand, but also unknown enemies. Your Majesty, you are leading everyone in conquest."

As soon as Guan Yu finished speaking his words of "Imperial Thoughts of Perfection," it was as if he had touched some indescribable, forbidden power.

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning that shouldn't have appeared in the Dao of Painting's secret treasure descended upon Guan Yu Wuque Huang Nian.

This wisp of Guan Yu's flawless imperial will, at the Emperor Realm, couldn't even put up the slightest resistance, and simply vanished before Zhang Mu's eyes.

That's fine then.

Even more frightening is...

After the tribulation lightning shattered Guan Yu's imperial will in the future, it did not disappear. Instead, as if sensing Liu Bei's imperial will, it rushed towards him again.

If Guan Yu's disappearance was due to Zhang Mu's lack of preparation, then it was because Zhang Mu succeeded.

But now.

Zhang Mu, who hadn't yet figured out what the future held from Liu Bei's words, how could he allow this tribulation lightning to wreak havoc?

"boom!"

A surge of purple blood energy erupted from Zhang Mu's body, and a blazing sun appeared within the Painting Dao Secret Treasure Space.

In an instant.

The crimson sunlight draped all the peach trees within this secret treasure space of the painting path in red, and countless rays of sunlight converged towards the tribulation lightning.

No matter how unpredictable this tribulation lightning may be...

Zhang Mu did not believe that it could still act so arrogantly under the bright red light of the sun!
