The First Marquis of Daxuan

Gou Ye, Dongfang Liuyun, and the Demon Lord looked at each other in bewilderment.

They only thought about honestly passing the challenges and seizing their own opportunity, never imagining that there was another possibility.

"this--"

The Demon Lord's lips trembled, "But the rule is—"

"Why should we follow this rule? We don't even know who left it."

Su Mu said calmly.

When he was weak, he had to follow other people's rules. Now that he is the one who sets the rules, why should he still follow them?
My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven.

The rules are my rules, Su Mu's rules.

"Isn't this a bit too arrogant?"

Gou Ye said cautiously, "Even though he is a descendant of the Celestial Venerable, he has never dared to act so arrogantly."

This enormous boulder could very well have been left behind by the Seventy-Two Thieves.

Those were the Seventy-Two Thieves.

The Seventy-Two Thieves who could rival the Heavenly Venerable!

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Su Mu said calmly.

The rules of the Seventy-Two Thieves aren't off-limits.

Not to mention that they have been dead for so many years, just look at the seventy-two divine weapons they left behind, which have all been used recklessly.

If seventy-two divine weapons of destiny can be used, why can't this giant boulder of the void?
As he spoke, Su Mu had already started walking forward.

His steps seemed slow but were actually fast; in the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of the boulder.

He examined the boulder.

The two characters "Tai Xu" on the boulder are written in a vigorous and elegant style, captivating the viewer at first glance.

Su Mu looked at those two words and felt as if they contained a starry sky. The longer he looked at them, the more he was captivated.

"It is indeed somewhat mysterious."

Su Mu thought to himself, raised his hand and gently placed it on the boulder, then closed his eyes slightly.

Dongfang Liuyun, Gou Ye, and the Demon Lord stood several feet away, watching Su Mu's actions, their faces all showing apprehension.

"Is this really okay? Won't we anger the beings here?"

The Demon Lord said somewhat nervously.

"It's just a rock, not a real one of the Seventy-Two Thieves. It's not like it can jump up and bite people."

Gou Ye said disdainfully, "Su Mu is the pride of the Gou family. If it were during the Gou family's heyday, even the Seventy-Two Thieves would have to praise Su Mu as a fine young man."

What can a broken rock do to Su Mu?
Despite saying this, Gou Ye's eyes also showed a solemn expression. He gathered his strength, ready to strike at any moment.

"What if it succeeds? What kind of opportunity will Su Mu gain?"

Dongfang Liuyun said in a low voice.

While the three were nervous, they also began to look forward to it.

They suddenly realized that breaking the rules was actually something that filled them with anticipation.

…………

Su Mu closed his eyes, and a surge of power emanated from his palm, landing on the giant boulder of the void.

The force struck the giant boulder in the void and vanished instantly, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

Su Mu's heart stirred slightly, and he once again channeled his power, carefully sensing the process of the power dissipating.

In his perception, this boulder had completely transformed into a starry sky waiting for him to explore.

This starry sky was so vast that Su Mu only explored a small part of it after spending half a day.

He had a feeling that even if his power increased a hundredfold, it would still take at least a hundred years to explore this entire starry sky.

To control this colossal boulder, one must thoroughly explore the starry sky within it.

"As expected of the work of the Seventy-Two Thieves."

Su Mu opened his eyes, looked at the Great Void Stone, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

With a thought, a golden light shone from his pupils.

A remarkable skill, with keen eyesight.

He looked at the Great Void Stone, the enormous rock continuously breaking down into its most primitive materials within his field of vision.

A raging fire seemed to appear in Su Mu's mind, within which various materials danced, melted, and fused together.

The Law of Creation of Heaven and Earth.

This colossal boulder was actually crafted using the Qiankun Creation Technique.

Moreover, the person who refined it has cultivated the Qiankun Creation Technique to an incredible degree, at least to the Great Completion stage!
As Su Mu experienced the process of the Great Void Stone being forged, his own mastery of the Qiankun Creation Technique also advanced by leaps and bounds.

The number of points required to perfect and complete the Qiankun Creation Method is decreasing rapidly.

Su Mu had a feeling that even without the system panel, if he continued to comprehend it in this way, he could cultivate the Qiankun Creation Technique to the highest level.

suddenly.

A colossal figure appeared in the starry sky above the Great Void Stone.

Before Su Mu could even get a clear look at the figure, the person had already flicked their sleeve.

In an instant, the starry sky shattered, and Su Mu's consciousness also fell out of the starry sky.

pedal!
He took a half step back, his expression changing slightly.

"Homeowner!"

Out of concern, Gou Ye forgot that there were other people present. He swayed and rushed forward a few steps, guarding Su Mu with a wary expression.

Dongfang Liuyun and the Demon Lord also hurriedly stepped forward.

"Are you okay?"

Dongfang Liuyun looked around nervously.

This is the heart of the wilderness, fraught with danger.

Any slight disturbance could be a deadly crisis.

"fine."

Su Mu gently shook his head. "No need to be nervous, it's alright."

He looked at the enormous boulder in the void, a look of regret on his face.

"I already know how to take this Void Boulder away."

Su Mu smiled and said slowly, "But whether it will work or not, we'll have to try."

As he spoke, he had already stepped over the Great Void Stone and walked out from behind it.

"I'd like to see if you can stop me."

As he spoke, Su Mu had already crossed the Void Boulder and stepped into the white mist.

step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Su Mu took three steps in an instant, as if strolling leisurely.

He took a step forward, and the white mist retreated a step, as if it were afraid of him, or as if it were welcoming him.

This is completely different from the situation before Dongfang Liuyun, Gou Ye, and the Demon Lord.

Dongfang Liuyun, Gou Ye, and the Demon Lord exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"We are undergoing a trial, but Su Mu—"

Dongfang Liuyun muttered to himself, "He's inspecting..."

…………

"News about the Medicine God?"

In the capital city of Daxuan, Emperor Yang Xiuhu received a message from the Taixu Sacred Realm.

"Yes."

Zhuque bowed and said, "Although the God of Medicine cannot descend to the outer realms now, he managed to send a message over."

Suzaku handed over the message with both hands.

The connection between Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and the God of Medicine can be traced back to Li Guichen.

Li Guichen, an elder of the Shennong Herbalism Sect, is a pawn planted by the God of Medicine in the outer realms.

Li Guichen possesses a summoning array, which allows him to communicate with the Medicine God of the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Later, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, set up the summoning array and also made contact with the God of Medicine.

They even conspired together to plot against Su Mu, and at that time they almost killed him.

Of course, in the end, all their efforts were in vain. Not only did Su Mu escape back, but he also destroyed the summoning array.

After that, while setting up the teleportation array, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, also secretly had people set up a summoning array in order to maintain contact with the God of Medicine.

In Emperor Xuan's (Yang Xiuhu's) schemes, the God of Medicine still played a significant role.

However, ever since Su Mu destroyed his demise, the Medicine God has been in seclusion to heal his injuries, and only now has news of him returned.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, took the message from the Vermilion Bird and read it quickly. Then, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"The Taixu Stele..."

After a long while, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, muttered to himself, "I never imagined that in addition to the seventy-two Heavenly Decree Divine Weapons, there would also be a Taixu Stele in this outer realm."

The seventy-two divine weapons of destiny belonged to the seventy-two thieves, and this Tai Xu Stele, however, was stolen by those same seventy-two thieves.

The message from the God of Medicine detailed the origin of the Taixu Stele.

In the history of the Taixu Sacred Realm, there once emerged a Celestial Venerable. That Celestial Venerable was skilled in the art of weapon forging. After achieving the status of a Celestial Venerable, he devoted a thousand years of his life to refining this Taixu Stele.

Since its successful forging, the Taixu Stele has been placed on the highest peak of the Taixu Sacred Realm by that Celestial Venerable.

Anyone who climbs that mountain can obtain an opportunity from the Taixu Stele.

Later, when that Celestial Venerable passed away, the Taixu Stele was acquired by the Cangqiong Sect, which used it to cultivate countless elite disciples.

Later, the Seventy-Two Thieves rose to power and stole the Taixu Stele from the Cangqiong Sect.

"Your Majesty, does the God of Medicine want us to help him find the Taixu Stele?"

Suzaku asked curiously.

"good."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, nodded and said, "The current sect leader of the Azure Sky Sect is nearing the end of his lifespan, and the new sect leader has not yet been chosen. The Medicine God wants to compete for the position."

"He is merely the head of the Pill Pavilion of the Azure Sky Sect. Above him is the Vice Sect Master. How could he possibly become the Sect Master of the Azure Sky Sect directly?"

Suzaku said instinctively.

He was a confidant of Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and learned a lot about the Cangqiong Sect by following Emperor Xuan.

The Pavilion Master of the Pill Pavilion of the Azure Sky Sect is naturally a big figure to ordinary people, but there is still a long way to go between him and the Sect Master of the Azure Sky Sect.

Under normal circumstances, he would never become the sect leader of the Azure Sky Sect in his lifetime.

"So he wanted the Taixu Stele."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, sneered, "If he wants to bypass the position of deputy sect leader and directly succeed as sect leader, then he must make unparalleled contributions to the Cangqiong Sect."

This Taixu Stele perfectly meets his requirements.

The Taixu Stele is a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Venerable, especially suitable for use by major sects and schools to test their disciples. Moreover, it was lost in the Cangqiong Sect.

If the Medicine God can retrieve the Taixu Stele, it is indeed possible that he could become the next sect leader of the Cangqiong Sect.

"The Taixu Stele was seized by the Seventy-Two Thieves. Although it may be in the outer realms now, it probably won't be so easy to get it back."

Suzaku pondered.

He wasn't very good at political maneuvering, but he knew the Seventy-Two Thieves.

His Majesty has searched for all these years and still hasn't been able to find all seventy-two divine weapons.

The Taixu Stele sounds no less impressive than the seventy-two divine weapons of destiny, so how could it be so easy to obtain?

If it were that easy, wouldn't the Azure Sky Sect have already sent people to take it back? Why wait until now?

"Naturally, it's not that easy to obtain. Otherwise, the Medicine God wouldn't have been able to rely on finding the Taixu Stele to take over as the sect leader of the Cangqiong Sect."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, sneered.

"Your Majesty, how should we respond to the God of Medicine? Should we refuse him?"

Suzaku pondered.

Why reject him?

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, said, "The Heavenly Venerable's treasure is a rare commodity worth hoarding."

Since the Medicine God desires it, we must naturally let him know that the Taixu Stele is in our hands.

"But the Taixu Stele is not in our possession, and we don't know where it is."

Suzaku said.

Let alone the Taixu Stele, they haven't even found all seventy-two divine weapons of destiny yet.

The tomb guardians and the Tian Ce Army are now competing to see who can find more divine weapons of destiny faster.

To be honest, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, didn't have many capable men left.

Although he possessed profound hidden strength, he now had to send people to seize the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon, leave enough manpower to prevent Su Mu from launching a sneak attack on the capital of Da Xuan, and send people to deal with the remnants of the Zhang family's defeated army.

They simply don't have the manpower to go find that damned Taixu Stele anymore.

"I know where the Taixu Stele is."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, said calmly, "In the past, my strength was somewhat lacking, so I did not touch the Taixu Stele. Now, I can."

"Zhuque, give the order: I will personally lead the expedition. All the Tian Ce Army troops remaining in the capital will be mobilized, and the Six Ding Six Jia and Night Owl Guards will also follow."

A sharp glint flashed in Emperor Xuan's eyes as he continued, "Also, send someone to invite the Four Elders of Shangshan to come with me."

"Yes!"

Zhuque's expression hardened, and he bowed and said.

The Four Elders of Shangshan were one of Emperor Xuan's many trump cards.

The four of them were the strongest under Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu.

There was a rumor circulating among Emperor Xuan's confidants that the Four Elders of Shangshan might be even stronger than Emperor Xuan himself.

Over the years, the four elders of Shangshan have had very few opportunities to make a move.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, would not disturb them unless necessary.

But as long as they take action, any trouble will be easily resolved.

Previously, Zhuque had been wondering when Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, would send the Four Elders of Shangshan to deal with Su Mu. He did not expect that Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, would not do so.

Now, in order to obtain the Taixu Stele, he has even mobilized the Four Elders of Shangshan.

This shows how much he valued the Taixu Stele this time.

Zhuque dared not think too much and went to carry out Emperor Xuan's orders with a serious expression.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, stood up, looked in the direction of the desolate continent, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

"The Taixu Stele!"

He muttered to himself, "Once I obtain the Taixu Stele, my strength will advance by leaps and bounds once again. At that time, a mere Su Mu will be a piece of cake."

…………

Four steps.

Five steps.

six steps.

Dongfang Liuyun, Gou Ye, and the Demon Lord all showed expressions of shock.

They had crossed that colossal boulder before, but after crossing it, every step they took was incredibly difficult, their steps heavy as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs.

The Demon Lord couldn't withstand the pressure after taking just one step.

Dongfang Liuyun and Gou Ye were slightly stronger, but they only took two or three more steps.

Now, Su Mu walked forward step by step, as if taking a leisurely stroll.

"My master said that the further you go, the greater your potential."

The Demon Lord murmured, "Truly worthy of the renowned Lord Su! Just how high is his potential?" "The talent of a Celestial Venerable!"

Gou Ye said with certainty, "I may have had some doubts before, but now I can be sure that Lord Su definitely has the potential to become a Celestial Venerable!"

It is a blessing you have earned over many lifetimes to be able to follow him.

As long as you serve him diligently, you will naturally ascend to heaven along with him when he becomes a Celestial Venerable.

"This is a blessing we've accumulated over many lifetimes, what about you?"

Dongfang Liuyun said speechlessly.

Gou Ye's tone made it sound as if he were very close to Su Mu.

Let's get this straight, I was the first person to follow Su Mu.

When I first got together with Su Mu, he didn't even have anyone under his command.

All these years, I've been with Su Mu all this way.

If we're really talking about it, aside from Luo Anning, Xiang Xiaoyuan, and Ao Qing, I'm Su Mu's closest brother!
You, Gou Ye, are just a latecomer.

"I'm different."

Gou Ye said smugly.

If it weren't for the fact that the bloodline of the Gou family's Heavenly Venerable is easily envied, and that it's not yet the right time to reveal Su Mu's true identity, he would have already announced it to the world.

You are merely Su Mu's friends and subordinates, while I, Gou Ye, am Su Mu's clansman. How can we be the same?

"Ten steps."

The Demon Lord exclaimed, interrupting the two's "competition for favor."

"I wonder how many steps there are here at most, and how far Su Mu can go."

The Demon Lord clenched his fist and said.

“No matter how many steps you can take here, Su Mu’s goal is not to reach the end, but to take this Void Giant Stone with him.”

Dongfang Liuyun said in a deep voice.

"A person like him is not meant to follow the rules."

Gou Ye said.

Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly turned around to look.

Dongfang Liuyun and the Demon Lord noticed his change, and their expressions also became tense.

They hadn't forgotten that they were now deep in the wilderness, where they could encounter danger at any moment.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Dongfang Liuyun said in a deep voice, his hand already instinctively gripping his sword, his inner power ready to be unleashed.

"somebody is coming."

Gou Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous glint flashing in his pupils.

"Someone's there? Where? I didn't notice them."

The Demon Lord cautiously looked around.

"They are still far away."

Gou Ye said in a deep voice, "If I weren't proficient in earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the ground) and extremely sensitive to earth tremors, I wouldn't have been able to detect their arrival."

There were quite a few people, at least several hundred!
Could it be that old bastard Zheng Deshan hasn't given up and has led his men to catch up?

"No matter who it is, Su Mu is currently trying to take away this Void Boulder. We must buy him some time and not let the newcomer disturb him."

Dongfang Liuyun said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he glanced at Gou Ye, then at the Demon Lord.

If it were Mo Xuesong and Shi Binbin present today, Dongfang Liuyun would not have the slightest worry.

Mo Xuesong and Shi Binbin are brothers who have gone through life and death together, and Dongfang Liuyun is certain that they can fight to the death.

However, Dongfang Liuyun was unsure about the relationship between Gou Ye and Su Mu, so he couldn't be sure whether Gou Ye would stand by them through life and death if they were truly in a life-or-death crisis.

The same applies to the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord has always been their mortal enemy. Although he has now supposedly surrendered, who knows if it is genuine or not?

Even if the Demon Lord is sincere, it's impossible to be certain how determined he truly is.

"That's right, we can't let them interfere with Su Mu's important plans."

Gou Ye rubbed his hands together and said, "Anyone who wants to bother Su Mu will have to get past me first."

Gou Ye's face was resolute, and he exuded a murderous aura.

The Demon Lord nodded solemnly to Dongfang Liuyun.

"Now we're all in the same boat. The stronger Su Mu is, the better he'll treat me. If something happens to him, I won't have a good outcome either."

"Since someone wants to cause trouble, let them keep quiet. We're not to be trifled with!"

A cracking sound came from the Demon Lord's body, and his body grew thicker and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It originally possessed a divine weapon of destiny, but that weapon was stolen by Zheng Deshan and Liang Jinglue.

Although it is stronger than a typical sixth-tier demon, it is still somewhat weaker than a seventh-tier demon.

Of the three, it was actually the weakest.

However, the Demon Lord also has his own pride. He may be inferior in strength, but he must never lose in terms of momentum!

The three of them turned around and glanced at Su Mu.

Su Mu seemed oblivious, continuing to walk forward step by step, his face filled with deep contemplation.

Without further hesitation, the three pounced forward.

They shared the same idea: to keep the enemy at a distance and prevent the commotion of the battle from disturbing Su Mu!

…………

A palanquin flew almost skimming the ground as it traversed the desolate continent.

A powerful aura permeated the surroundings, repelling all the chaotic energy of heaven and earth.

After leaving the capital city of Da Xuan, Emperor Yang Xiuhu and his entourage took a secret passage in the Da Xing Mountains and arrived at the desolate continent.

To avoid trouble, they specifically avoided the Demon Court.

Only after venturing deep into the wilderness and far from the Demon Court did they truly unleash their speed.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu's group included elites from the Tian Ce Army, a few survivors of the Night Owl Guard, and the Six Ding and Six Jia.

The strongest among them was naturally Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, along with the four white-haired, youthful-looking old men who always followed beside his palanquin.

The four old men were arrogant and dismissive of everyone except Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu.

Among the group, the weakest cultivator was at the Integration Realm, most were at the Returning Void Realm, and there were even experts at the Heavenly Profound Realm. Although they did not fly, their speed was still extremely fast.

They were getting closer and closer to the giant boulder.

suddenly.

Ahead, amidst a sky filled with yellow sand, three figures appeared before them, blocking their path.

"Ok?"

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, sat on his palanquin, his gaze falling on the three people, his eyebrows involuntarily twitching.

"Eastern Flowing Clouds, Demon Lord!"

They really did get mixed up together. I knew it; those people in the Taiping Division had long harbored rebellious intentions.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, snorted coldly.

He recognized Dongfang Liuyun and the Demon Lord, but Gou Ye's appearance had changed so much that he did not recognize him.

Even if Gou Ye hadn't grown taller, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, wouldn't have recognized him.

Previously, Gou Ye had only maintained contact with Zheng Deshan and had never interacted with Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu.

"It's the Xuan Emperor!"

When Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, saw the three of them, the three of them also saw Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu.

The Demon Lord exclaimed, "This is going to be troublesome."

"What a pain."

Gou Ye spat, "Leave Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu to me, and the rest to you. Delay as much as possible, and I'll come back to help you after I've dealt with Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu!"

Before he could finish speaking, Gou Ye had already darted out, leaping into the air and transforming into a whirlwind that swept over.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, let out a cold snort.

"Kill them."

As soon as he raised his hand, several figures tried to fly out.

At this moment, one of the four elders of Shangshan raised his hand, and an invisible aura pressed everyone back.

"No need to waste time, let me handle this and finish this quickly."

The old man was the fourth of the Four Elders of Shang Mountain, known by his name Shang Ji, and he was the most irritable.

He moved swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, he was already hundreds of feet away, throwing a punch in mid-air.

Boom!

A giant fist appeared in the air and slammed into the whirlwind that Gou Ye had transformed into.

The force of the punch collided with the whirlwind, producing a deafening sound.

Gou Ye tumbled out of the whirlwind, doing several somersaults in mid-air, a look of surprise on his face.

Shang Ji was startled and took a few steps back, his face also showing surprise.

This collision made both sides realize that the other was a formidable opponent.

Shang Ji was alright, but Gou Ye's heart sank.

He originally thought that among Emperor Xuan's group, only Emperor Xuan was at the Heavenly Profound Realm.

In that case, as long as he defeats Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, the rest will be no threat.

But now, besides Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, there is actually another Heavenly Profound Realm expert!

This is going to be troublesome.

If a Heavenly Profound Realm cultivator is enough to stop him, then as long as Emperor Yang Xiuhu makes a move, Dongfang Liuyun and the Demon Lord will be unable to stop him at all.

Dongfang Liuyun is only at the Returning Void Realm, and the Demon Lord is even weaker than Dongfang Liuyun. What makes them think they can stop the Xuan Emperor Yang Xiuhu, who is at the Heavenly Profound Realm?
In less than ten moves, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, would be able to kill both of them.

But sometimes, you'll have to fight two against one.

Gou Ye secretly groaned inwardly.

In other situations, if he were to fight two opponents, even if he couldn't win, he could simply run away.

When it comes to the art of escaping, Gou Ye dares to say he is unparalleled in the world.

But now, he can't run away.

If he runs away, these people can march straight in and run right up to Su Mu.

Su Mu is currently subduing that Void Boulder, and these people will definitely disrupt Su Mu's important plans if they rush over.

These people suddenly appeared here, and it seems they are most likely after the Great Void Stone.

Moreover, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and Su Mu were mortal enemies.

If he runs away, then Su Mu will be left to face so many powerful enemies all by himself.

Although Su Mu is strong, he is only at the Heavenly Profound Realm. Facing so many people at the same time, he may not be able to win.

Su Mu didn't have his skill in escaping...

Gou Ye's mind raced, but a ruthless look appeared on his face.

"I will fight with you!"

Gou Ye roared inwardly.

A blinding light suddenly emanated from his body, and then he abruptly reached out and spun around on the ground.

Rumble!
In an instant, the earth shook, and cracks appeared on the ground, rapidly spreading into the distance.

The ground churned up like boiling water.

The earth dragon turns over!

The Celestial Venerable's Ultimate Technique: The Earth's Boundless Regret!
Gou Ye only had one last chance to unleash this ultimate technique of the Celestial Venerable.

At this moment, he held nothing back.

Gou Ye possesses the bloodline of the Celestial Venerable, and his Celestial Venerable ultimate technique, the Hateful Earth Without Rings, is far more powerful than the one Su Mu uses.

In an instant, everything changed.

Although Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu's palanquin took off in time, the weaker members of the Tian Ce Army and the Night Owl Guard were all caught in the churning ground.

The Celestial Venerable's ultimate techniques are not simply limited to the ground cracking.

Anyone standing on the ground, or even those who are slightly close to the ground, will be swept away by the force of the earthquake.

Once caught in it, the immense power of the earth's veins will crush a person, and the chance of survival is less than one in ten thousand.

In a short time, the area within a radius of several miles was a complete mess.

More than a dozen members of the Tian Ce Army and the Night Owl Guard perished in the crevice.

Emperor Xuan's face suddenly turned extremely gloomy.

Shang Ji's face turned ashen.

"You dare to be distracted while fighting me? You're courting death!"

Before he knew it, Gou Ye had injured so many people. Shang Ji felt like he was being slapped repeatedly across the face.

Enraged, he held nothing back and unleashed all his power to attack Gou Ye.

After Gou Ye finished using the Celestial Venerable's ultimate technique, he was already somewhat weak.

Seeing Shang Ji attack, he didn't fight him head-on. Instead, he spun around and transformed into a whirlwind once more.

Swish swish!
His body spun rapidly.

When he was less than three feet tall, he would spin like a top, which looked quite funny.

Now that he has had the opportunity, he has grown to six feet tall, and when he spins around, it is no longer as funny as before.

The swirling tornado was incredibly powerful, sweeping up the yellow sand and transforming it into a yellow earth dragon that swirled around Shang Ji.

Seeing that Shang Ji was entangled by Gou Ye, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, waved his hand, and several figures rushed towards Dongfang Liuyun and the Demon Lord.

"These people couldn't have appeared here for no reason."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Dongfang Liuyun is Su Mu's confidant. Judging from their appearance, they seem to be stalling for time."

Su Mu might be here too!

He looked behind the three of them, and in the distance, the Taixu Stele was already faintly visible.

"It's really a narrow road for enemies."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, said coldly, "Su Mu, you actually want to covet the Taixu Stele."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, glanced at the four elders of Shangshan beside him and felt reassured.

Su Mu is indeed very strong; even the Pavilion Master of the Cangqiong Sect's Array Pavilion died at his hands.

In a one-on-one fight, I might not be his match right now.

But I am not alone.

With the Four Elders of Shangshan, the Six Ding and Six Jia, and the Tian Ce Army around, Su Mu only had these three people by his side.

It must be Su Mu who lost his life here!
"Three elders, join me in this attack. This time, we cannot let Su Mu escape again."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will all attack together. Unless he is a Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator, he will surely die today."

Among the four elders of Shangshan, the three who had not yet made a move spoke in unison.

Their faces were full of confidence, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from their bodies.

The next moment, they soared into the sky together with Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and charged forward.

Gou Ye, Dongfang Liuyun, and the Demon Lord were in a great hurry, but they were entangled with their respective opponents and were powerless to stop them.

Left with no other choice, Dongfang Liuyun let out a long howl.

"Enemy attack!"

He shouted, hoping to remind Su Mu.

At this moment, the remaining Tian Ce Army, Night Owl Guards, and Six Ding Six Jia surged forward like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing Dongfang Liuyun and the Demon Lord. (End of Chapter)
