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

Phoenix Perch Mountain, a secluded courtyard halfway up the mountain.

Tong Yuan looked at Zhang Mu with a mixture of excitement and confusion. Even though he had a vague guess in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little lost when he heard Zhang Mu confirm that Zhang Mu had broken through to the "Alternative Emperor Realm".

Compared to you, I truly am old!

"I never imagined that I would actually see a living Emperor-level expert in my lifetime!"

A living imperial realm?

Zhang Mu's face darkened upon hearing Tong Yuan's words. Why did those words sound so unpleasant?

"Mr. Tong, please don't be modest!"

"From Mu's perspective, all you need to break through to the Emperor Realm in the future is a fortuitous opportunity. When that opportunity arrives, entering the Emperor Realm will naturally be a natural progression."

Tong Yuan didn't take Zhang Mu's words seriously; they were just words of comfort.

If such opportunities were truly so readily available, why would Tong Yuan be currently trapped at the half-step Overlord Realm, unable to see any path forward?

Seeing Tong Yuan's indifference, Zhang Mu gave him a deep look but said nothing more.

If this Gun God really can't break through to the Emperor Realm on his own, I can simply emulate Xiang Yu's actions in Xihe County and condense a drop of Imperial Purple Blood to give to him to help him break through.

Why not give it to me now?

Zhang Mu himself was unsure whether his current "alternative imperial path" imperial bloodline would be useful for Tong Yuan's breakthrough.

after all.

He is currently only at the level of a true Overlord Emperor because of the "cheat code" of the chaotic world within his body. He has reached a level of combat power that is comparable to or even surpasses that of an Emperor.

"An alternative realm of imperial rule..."

Tong Yuan was filled with mixed emotions, while Lu Bu listened in silence. At this moment, he could only feel Zhang Mu's heart beating more and more intensely in his chest.

Tong Yuan admitted that he was not as good as Zhang Mu, and one could say that he was "too old".

But what about Lü Bu?

Not only was he in the prime of his life, but he was also of the same generation as Zhang Mu. When the two first met, their strengths were even comparable.

Even though Zhang Mu had many hidden tricks up his sleeve and was suspected of concealing his strength, at the time, Zhang Mu's strength was still within his visible range.

What now?

Sensing the faint pressure emanating from Zhang Mu, Lü Bu clenched his fists tightly, realizing that he was not strong enough yet.

"Enough of this idle chatter, Gongzhi. You've come here today to retrieve your heart?"

The legendary physician Hua Tuo, who had been staying at Fengqi Mountain for March, appeared and asked Zhang Mu about his purpose.

"That's absolutely right!"

Zhang Mu said, "Although with my current strength, I could reshape a completely new heart in an instant, I have a premonition..."

He looked at Lü Bu's chest.

"This original heart is the best for Mu."

"If it returns..."

"Perhaps this will become an opportunity for the pastor."

Upon hearing Zhang Mu's explanation, Hua Tuo and Tong Yuan's confusion vanished. It turned out that Zhang Mu's "alternative imperial path" realm was not unable to reshape the heart, but rather that he had other plans.

"So when do you plan to make your move?" Hua Tuo asked Zhang Mu, without raising any objections to Zhang Mu's words.

The March deadline has arrived.

With Lü Bu's condition now stable, Hua Tuo, with just a little preparation, could help Zhang Mu retrieve his heart from Lü Bu's chest if Zhang Mu wished.

Zhang Mu smiled slightly and said, "Now!"

"Now???"

"Now???"

Two surprised voices rang out in succession, and Tong Yuan and Hua Tuo looked at Zhang Mu in disbelief.

Seeing Zhang Mu coming and going, Tong Yuan quickly said, "Gongzhi, aren't you in a bit of a rush? Shouldn't you prepare something? What if something goes wrong along the way?"

It's simply that after Zhang Mu's heart returned, he used his own heart as a replacement, and then, relying on his half-step Emperor Realm strength, he recreated a new heart within his body.

Tong Yuan was not afraid of making any mistakes himself, nor was he worried that anything might happen to Zhang Mu.

What he was truly worried about was his junior apprentice, Lü Bu, since Lü Bu didn't possess the terrifying vitality of someone like him or Zhang Mu, who were at the "half-step Emperor Realm" and "alternative Emperor Realm" levels.

"Nothing unexpected will happen!"

Zhang Mu said decisively, "Moreover, in the subsequent heart transplant process, there is no need for Elder Tong to participate; just Mu and Fengxian are sufficient."

Finally, Zhang Mu turned his gaze to Lü Bu.

Lu Bu remained calm in the face of Zhang Mu's questioning gaze.

"You saved someone's life."

"Don't even mention taking my heart back. Even if you, Zhang Gongzhi, were to kill me right now, I, Lü Bu, would not say a word."

Since Lü Bu himself had said so, Hua Tuo and Tong Yuan immediately abandoned their idea of ​​advising the two to act cautiously. With this thought gone, the two couldn't help but look forward to Zhang Mu's methods.

"Master!"

"Can the clouds stay and observe this time?"

Zhao Yun, one of the three, spoke up, his eyes revealing a longing look. During the last heart transplant, his two senior brothers stayed behind, while he, the youngest, was sent away.

This time, Zhao Yun absolutely did not want to miss it.

"Stay if you want!"

Before Tong Yuan could reply to Zhao Yun, Zhang Mu had already spoken, and as he spoke, he pointed to the sky, instantly setting up a protective barrier that covered the entire Phoenix Perch Mountain.

"Fengxian!"

After doing all this, Zhang Mu smiled and looked at Lü Bu, saying, "Would you like to have your heart transplanted while unconscious, like last time? Or would you prefer to be fully conscious?"

Lu Bu rolled his eyes at Zhang Mu's teasing.

"What can the pain of a mere heart transplant do to me?"

"I will not even flinch during the entire process!!!"

Lu Bu turned his back to Zhang Mu and walked straight to his room. When Zhang Mu and the others entered Lu Bu's room, they found that he was already lying flat on the bed, ready to let Zhang Mu do as he pleased.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Mu no longer hesitated.

As Zhang Mu pointed his finger at his heart cavity, the Hua Tuo Medical Source Seed, which had been residing in Zhang Mu's body for the past three months, immediately flew out.

"Hmm? My source seed..."

Hua Tuo suddenly spoke, looking in surprise at the faint purple glow emanating from the surface of his source seed.

"It seems some kind of unseen change has occurred!"

As Hua Tuo spoke these words, he had no doubt whatsoever that Zhang Mu had tampered with the source seed that had been nurtured during his medical practice.

Without him.

Upon seeing this seemingly mutated source seed of medicine, the legendary physician Hua Tuo strangely felt a yearning emanating from within his body.

"How strange! How truly strange!"

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Hua Tuo, with some doubt, incorporated his own medical source seed into his body.

next moment.

Under everyone's gaze...

Hua Tuo, who had just absorbed the Source of Medicine into his body, suddenly fell straight backward.

at the same time.

Strands of purple-blue light swirled around Hua Tuo's body, instantly wrapping him in a large cocoon from which a vigorous life force burst forth.
