Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

Su Mu immersed himself in cultivation, gradually adapting to the all-round transformation in combat power and physical changes brought about by the fusion of the dark golden Dao fire into his own divine fire.

Under Su Mu's constant protection and with the perfect safeguarding of the Grade 8 Dragon Essence Pill, Xiao Yunshang safely swallowed the Grade 9 Nirvana Pill. The medicinal power of the pill completely dissolved, cleansing her meridians and flesh, and her Innate Profound Thunder Body underwent a complete and ultimate transformation.

She hasn't yet been imprinted with any divine runes, but her physical strength has already caught up with that of a standard divine body in the world. After the transformation, she will also need time to adapt to the surge in her physical power.

Time flies, and it's noon on August 28th.

Under the blazing sun, the entire imperial city was scorched. Su Mu sensed that he had reached his peak condition and had no weaknesses left.

He stepped out of the library and stood in front of the courtyard. His eyes narrowed, and he no longer held back any power, directly releasing his martial aura completely!

boom--

A silent roar of martial arts echoed throughout the palace.

A towering, purple-gold Martial General, over a hundred feet tall, rose from the ground, standing tall and majestic above the imperial city. Clad in an imperial robe embroidered with dragon patterns, and wielding a massive, flaming sword, the Martial General stood as upright as a divine mountain, exuding an aura of imperial might that swept across the eight directions and six realms, like an unparalleled emperor who ruled over all living beings.

The dazzling purple-gold divine light shot straight into the sky, even rivaling the blazing midday sun overhead, and its domineering pressure swept across the entire Great Qian Imperial City.

All the cultivators, officials, martial artists, and even ordinary people in the city subconsciously looked up, their eyes fixed on the awe-inspiring, enormous martial statue above the palace. Their hearts pounded wildly, and a sense of submission, stemming from their bloodline, arose deep within their souls. They wished they could prostrate themselves on the spot and bow down in worship.

"It's the retired emperor's military advisor! He's about to break through!"

"It seems he's preparing to transform his Martial Aspect and condense a true Divine Aspect! So, my godfather hadn't yet reached the Martial God Realm!"

"Even without a divine appearance or the cultivation of a martial god, my godfather could still kill a level nine demonic beast and an extraterrestrial martial emperor head-on. Just how terrifying is his physical combat power?"

"I see it now. The Emperor Emeritus doesn't follow the usual martial arts path at all. He uses extreme body refinement, his physical body crushes all opponents of the same level, and he doesn't rely on martial prowess to fight!"

Exclamations of amazement echoed throughout the streets and alleys of the imperial city, and everyone looked up at the sky with awe.

The next moment, the sky underwent a dramatic change!

The once clear midday sky was instantly covered by dark, ominous clouds. Gale-force winds howled, thunder roared within the clouds, and purple-gold lightning dragons roamed freely, causing space to shatter continuously.

The boundless, vast, and immense power of nature converged wildly from all directions, locking onto Su Mu's colossal martial form.

The blazing divine lightning, carrying raging flames, crashed down without warning, striking the Purple-Gold Martial Image; the boundless power of heaven and earth, like a giant wave, raged and washed over the Martial Image's body.

This is a tribulation of heaven and earth that every martial artist must undergo before transforming into a divine being!

For ordinary cultivators to transform into a divine form, they only need to withstand the trials of heaven and earth, accept the baptism of the great power of nature, and imprint a unique divine rune of their own Great Dao on their martial form to successfully complete the transformation.

But Su Mu was completely different.

The Way of the Emperor, the Way of the Sword, the Way of Thunder, the Way of Fire!

The four fundamental Daos awakened simultaneously within his body, and the four ultimate Dao intents erupted in unison, actively drawing upon the power of the surrounding heaven and earth, each condensing its own exclusive divine runes, attempting to imprint them simultaneously onto the same Martial Image.

The difficulty of having four completely contradictory divine runes with entirely different power systems coexist in a single martial form is nothing short of heaven-defying.

Not only does a martial artist need to possess a powerful foundation that is many times stronger than others of the same level, but they also need to accurately control the power balance of each divine rune to prevent the divine runes from conflicting with each other and causing the martial artist to explode.

Moreover, the more divine runes imprinted during the condensation of a divine form, the more powerful the tribulations descended from heaven and earth will be, and the danger of the trials will skyrocket.

If Su Mu had not fully absorbed Moen's lifelong cultivation experience and thoroughly understood all the true essence of martial arts before the Martial God Realm, thus broadening his own understanding of the Great Dao, he would have needed to consume at least two more Enlightenment Pills before daring to simultaneously begin refining the four divine runes.

Rumbling--

The thunder roared incessantly, each strike of lightning, carrying scorching flames, stronger than the last, relentlessly bombarding Wu Xiang's body. The raging power of heaven and earth continued to wash over him. On one hand, he had to resist the destructive power of the heavenly tribulation, and on the other hand, he had to meticulously control the four divine runes to form imprints. Under this dual pressure, Su Mu's soul gradually began to feel fatigued, and his mind began to strain.

Don't panic!

With a thought, Su Mu opened his mouth and swallowed the Qianxu Divine Soul Pill.

The pure and gentle medicinal power instantly surged into the sea of ​​consciousness, soothing the fatigue of the soul. Then, the medicinal power flowed out along the meridians of the soul, pouring into the purple-gold martial image above, stabilizing the foundation of the martial image.

One pill isn't enough, then two, three...

After taking several Soul Pills, Su Mu's tense mind completely relaxed, and he regained firm control of the entire transformation.

Meanwhile, in a private room on the fifth floor of a top-tier restaurant in the imperial city.

Two figures stood by the window, quietly gazing at the astonishing phenomenon above the palace, taking in the entire process of Su Mu condensing his divine form.

The man had dark skin, a tall and robust build, deep-set eyes, and a fierce demeanor; the woman wore a long, azure dress, had an upright posture, heroic features, and a cool and refined air.

The two gazed at the four coexisting Dao auras in the sky, their expressions solemn.

"Martial Prime's foundation is incredibly solid, and he simultaneously carries the Dao Intent of four Great Daos. This boy's talent is simply unbelievable. No wonder he was able to kill a Quasi-God Realm expert on his own," the young man said in a deep voice.

The woman frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion: "Tianyuan Star is located on the edge of the universe, with barren spiritual energy and an extreme scarcity of high-level cultivation resources. How could such a backward and barbaric star give birth to such a heaven-defying freak?"

Inside the private room, a man and a woman were talking quietly, their eyes never leaving the strange celestial phenomenon above the palace.

Both of these individuals are from the Star Palace, a top-tier power in the vast universe.

The burly, dark-skinned youth was named Tulaer, a pure member of the Three-Eyed Clan, whose cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the True God Realm. He wore a black headband wrapped around his forehead, tightly concealing the vertical eye between his eyebrows and hiding his racial characteristics.

Most members of the Three-Eyed Clan are born with two arms, just like humans. Only Moen was born with four arms, making him an anomaly among the clan, a rare occurrence in ten thousand years. His bloodline talent far surpasses that of his peers, which is why Moen was given special attention by the Star Palace and received personal appreciation and treasures from the Three-Eyed Clan God King.

The woman in blue standing to the side is named Song Qingmei. She is a human and also possesses the cultivation level of a mid-stage True God.

She has a very deep connection with the Tianyuan Continent. Twenty thousand years ago, her grandfather broke through to the True God Realm on the Tianyuan Continent. Afterwards, in order to pursue a higher level of martial arts, he resolutely left his homeland and went to the Star Sea. He eventually joined the Star Palace and never returned to Tianyuan Star.

"This person did not rise to power by relying on local spiritual energy." Song Qingmei's eyes were clear as she slowly spoke. "Just now I learned that everyone in the city is saying that he obtained the complete inheritance left by a powerful martial god from outside the realm by chance, which allowed him to rise from a lowly eunuch to the top of the continent in a short period of time."

At this point, she turned to look at her fellow clansmen beside her: "By the way, the Martial God Realm that the people of this continent talk about corresponds to the True God Realm, which is the universal cultivation level in our universe."

Tular's eyes turned cold, and his tone became certain: "Therefore, all the opportunities and relics left behind by Senior Moen have fallen into this person's hands one hundred percent."

As a member of the Three-Eyed Clan, he had met Moen ten thousand years ago. At that time, Turael had just entered the early stage of True God, while Moen was already a powerful late-stage True God who was renowned throughout the land, and had always been a role model on his cultivation path.

However, Moen was later ordered to lead an expedition to annihilate the stronghold of the Ghost Clan, and since then he has been completely out of contact.
