The First Marquis of Daxuan

The blinding white light lasted for a full hour.

Under everyone's gaze, the blinding white light seemed capable of burning everything away; they could not see anything remaining within it.

As the white light gradually disappeared, everyone finally saw what was happening inside it.

The original arena has disappeared, leaving behind a bottomless pit.

Cai Tonghui naturally disappeared without a trace.

Su Mu had also vanished without a trace.

Some of the bolder martial artists began to move forward, wanting to see what the bottom of the pit was like.

Without any hesitation, Li Tianzun flew up and arrived above the pit, looking down into the pitch-black depths.

The pit, which was over a hundred feet deep, was pitch black and its walls were scorched smooth by the white light, giving it a metallic sheen.

A beam of light shot out from Li Tianzun's pupils, as if trying to pierce through the darkness.

He even had a smug smile on his face.

With the Azure Sky Sect's Return to the Void Guide and the Great Xuan Dynasty's Heavenly Dragon God Technique, how could Su Mu not die?

This move was more powerful than he had anticipated. Although he sacrificed Cai Tonghui, he was able to kill Su Mu, so Cai Tonghui's death was worthwhile.

Without Su Mu as an obstacle, the Azure Sky Sect is the sole ruler of this world.

"I never imagined that a mere Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator would bring me so much trouble."

But all those troubles are over now, and Su Mu is dead and gone—"

Li Tianzun thought to himself, unable to resist wanting to burst into laughter.

At that moment, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared at the bottom of the pitch-black pit.

That tiny glimmer of light started out the size of a sesame seed, then instantly grew to the size of a soybean, then a watermelon…

In the blink of an eye, the light shot into the sky.

call!
The beam of light shot into the sky, almost brushing past Li Tianzun's nose.

Everyone's gaze followed the beam of light until it hovered in mid-air. Only then did they realize that the beam of light was actually a giant three-legged cauldron.

It hovered in the air, slowly rotating, surrounded by a hazy, dark yellow mist.

Li Tianzun's face immediately darkened.

"I never imagined that the Primordial Qi could be used in this way."

Lei Tianzun's voice rang out, revealing that this wisp of Xuanhuang Mother Qi was something he had personally "borrowed" from the Cangqiong Sect.

Seeing that the Xuanhuang Mother Qi was protecting the giant cauldron, Lei Tianzun finally felt relieved.

He said that Su Mu was a cunning and shrewd guy, how could he possibly die so easily from the Cangqiong Sect's suicidal tactics?
Upon hearing Lei Tianzun's voice, Li Tianzun's expression turned even more unpleasant.

Use their Celestial Primordial Qi to resist the Celestial Sect's killing intent?
"Hey, when we were refining this Yin-Yang Cauldron, we wanted to use the Primordial Qi of Xuanhuang."

What I couldn't do back then, I've actually witnessed today.

Ning Hongchen chuckled as well.

The moment they saw the Yin-Yang Cauldron, everyone realized that Su Mu was not dead.

The Yin-Yang Cauldron is a divine weapon ordained by Heaven, with its own internal space.

Clearly, Su Mu had hidden inside the Yin-Yang Cauldron, using it to block the opponent's attack.

"This is what our Lord Yang should be like: indestructible and invincible."

The onlookers cheered.

Amidst the cheers, a figure slowly appeared above the Yin-Yang Cauldron; it was none other than Su Mu.

"Who else?"

Su Mu's gaze lingered briefly on Li Tianzun before slowly sweeping over all the martial artists present, uttering three words.

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

The audience was silent.

Even Li Tianzun fell silent.

If we're talking about whether the Azure Sky Sect still has any experts at the Heavenly Fate Realm, then it definitely does.

There are several that can rival Su Mu.

But they definitely can't beat Su Mu.

Cai Tonghui was his last trump card.

Even Cai Tonghui, a loyal follower, failed, so there's no point in sending anyone else to power.

No one in the Azure Sky Sect could rival Su Mu, let alone anyone else.

"Li Tianzun, do I need to repeat myself a second time?"

After waiting a moment and seeing that no one spoke, Su Mu looked at Li Tianzun and said with a half-smile.

"Or are you, Li Tianzun, planning to personally intervene?"

Of course, Li Tianzun couldn't personally get involved.

But he was somewhat unwilling to announce that Su Mu had been elected as the Lord of Yang.

Just when he was hesitating.

suddenly.

There was a loud bang.

The earth trembled violently.

In an instant, cracks appeared in the earth, and powerful Void Beasts emerged from them.

call!
A fierce wind swept through the entire city.

The violent aura made everyone present breathe heavily.

No one expected that so many powerful Void Beasts would appear at the Yang Lord Conference in the Yang Realm.

It should be noted that the Great Xuan Dynasty is now located in the heart of the Yang Realm, which is tens of thousands of miles away from the outer realms of the past.

The outer realms have invaded the mortal world, and the battlefield is now located in what was once the outer realms.

How could these Void Beasts suddenly appear here, having traveled tens of thousands of miles?
How did they do that?

Moreover, there are a total of twenty-one Celestial Venerables here. How could they suddenly appear here without being discovered by the Celestial Venerables in advance?
This question arose in everyone's mind, but there was no time for them to seek the answer.

Because the moment those Void Beasts appeared, they began their slaughter.

Before anyone could react, several martial artists had already been killed on the spot.

One Void Beast after another appeared, and in a short time, hundreds of powerful Void Beasts had gathered in the city.

They charged back and forth, attacking frantically.

If the Great Xuan Dynasty were to face these Void Beasts on its own, it would likely face annihilation.

Fortunately, it is now the Yang Lord Conference, and all forces have gathered here.

Furthermore, there are twenty-one celestial beings presiding over it.

So many martial artists couldn't just stand by and watch the Void Beast destroy the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Soon, all the Celestial Venerables had made their moves.

It was only then that everyone realized that among the attacking Void Beasts, there were actually quite a few Celestial Venerable level beings!

The battle broke out in an instant and quickly escalated into a fierce, high-intensity state.

Su Mu reacted quickly; the moment the Void Beast appeared, he began organizing the evacuation of the people from the Great Xuan faction.

It is clear that the Void Beast's decision to launch its attack at this time was premeditated.

These Void Beasts include Celestial Venerables, as well as beings at the Heavenly Fate Realm and Heavenly Profound Realm. They are simply beyond the capabilities of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

The only solution is to abandon this newly built city and let the Celestial Venerables and the martial artists who came to the meeting serve as the first line of defense.

The Great Xuan Dynasty migrated here from the outer regions, and they experienced many twists and turns along the way.

This crisis was once part of their normal daily life.

Therefore, at Su Mu's command, the entire Great Xuan Dynasty started operating rapidly like a well-oiled machine.

They quickly withdrew from the core battlefield and then rebuilt their defensive lines.

At this moment, apart from Su Mu, there was no one from the Great Xuan Dynasty left in the core area of ​​the battlefield.

Those currently battling the Void Beasts are the Azure Sky Sect, the Martial Sect, the True Saint Sect, and those Heavenly Venerables.

The whole thing happened so smoothly that the martial artists from the Sky Dome Sect, the Martial Sect, the True Saint Sect, and other major forces didn't even notice it.

They were now completely engrossed in the battlefield, their only thought being to eliminate the Void Beasts before them.

Even so, it doesn't mean that the Great Xuan Dynasty can rest easy.

The number of attacking Void Beasts was simply too great, while the number of people from the various forces was limited. For the time being, they could only hold off the Void Beasts, but as the number of Void Beasts increased, they began to retreat.

If things continue like this, it won't be long before they are completely defeated, and then the Great Xuan Dynasty will still have to face these Void Beasts head-on.

Su Mu's expression was serious.

He knew very well that the Great Xuan Dynasty had come this far with great difficulty, and once this place was destroyed by the Void Beast, the Great Xuan Dynasty would never be able to rise again.

The migration from the outer realms to this place was both a miracle and an ordeal.

From top to bottom, the Great Xuan Dynasty could never be revived.

If this newly established kingdom is destroyed, they have no will to start over.

The Great Xuan Dynasty is now facing a true life-or-death crisis.

If we are not careful, the Great Xuan Dynasty will cease to exist.

Su Mu never expected that he would have to face such a thorny situation so soon after taking the position of Lord of Yang.

"Even if you give me six months, I can integrate all the major forces."

Su Mu sighed inwardly.

Currently, the various factions on the field are fighting their own battles, and even he cannot organize them.

As for the various Celestial Venerables, they are even less likely to listen to him.

To Su Mu's surprise, so many Heavenly Venerable-level Void Beasts from the Void Realm had also come.

Even with twenty-one Heavenly Venerables of the Yang Realm attacking simultaneously, they were still tightly entangled by those Heavenly Venerable-level Void Beasts, and it was impossible to determine a winner in the short term.

Su Mu's mind raced as he tried to find a way to break the deadlock.

boom!
He raised his hand and knocked away a charging beast, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of his eye.

The man moved stealthily through the battlefield, and when the beasts tried to attack him, they were all repelled by the light emanating from his body.

Du Rongcheng!
Son of the Minister of Works of the Great Qian Dynasty!

If we're talking about who's happiest about the attack of the Void Beasts, it has to be Du Rongcheng.

As soon as the Void Beast appeared, Cat Nine, who had been watching him, took action to deal with it, and he finally had a chance to escape.

Not only that, he also pocketed the spirit stones that people had bet on.

He was carrying a parasol and was about to escape the city.

With his protective armor, ordinary beasts couldn't harm him in the slightest.

Du Rongcheng couldn't help but smile.

These bastards still want to detain Du Rongcheng?

It's okay now.

You can fight these Void Beasts to the death, Grandpa Du is not playing with you anymore!
Just as Du Rongcheng's lips curled into a smile, everything went black before his eyes as someone blocked his way.

He subconsciously looked up.

"Su Mu?!"

Du Rongcheng's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise. Immediately afterward, he felt his hand become lighter, and the Heavenly Net Umbrella had slipped from his grasp.

That's mine—

Du Rongcheng instinctively called out, but the words were already on the tip of his tongue. He swallowed them back down, almost biting his own tongue in the process.

With a sudden jerk of his arm, Su Mu opened the Heavenly Canopy with a bang.

In an instant, a hundred strange beasts roared out and charged into the battlefield.

As he activated the Heavenly Net Umbrella, Su Mu looked at Du Rongcheng.

"Du Rongcheng, if you can help me repel the enemy, I can promise to let you leave."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"I?"

Du Rongcheng pointed to his nose, "Are you kidding me? If I had that kind of ability, would I need to be afraid of you?"

He almost laughed out of anger.

With so many Void Beasts, including many at the Celestial Venerable level, how could Du Rongcheng, who doesn't have three heads and six arms, possibly defeat so many Void Beasts?
On the other hand, if he had that ability, would he need to sneak away to escape?
He had already thoroughly humiliated Su Mu.

"I'm not asking you to kill them all, I'm just asking you to find a way to make them retreat."

Su Mudao.

"What's the difference?"

Du Rongcheng said irritably, "I'm not their father, how can they listen to me?"
"Su Mu, I don't have any deep-seated hatred for you, so why are you staring at me like that?"

Du Rongcheng was getting anxious.

If he doesn't run now, won't these martial artists come after him for the bet once they have a chance to make a move?
If he can't produce it, won't he be devoured alive by these people?

“Your father is the Minister of Works of the Great Qian Dynasty. Don’t tell me he didn’t leave you any means to save your life.”

Su Mu said coldly.

The fact that the Great Qian Dynasty could extend its reach into their world meant that the Great Qian Dynasty was more powerful than any other force in their world.

Du Bao held a high position of power in the Daqian Dynasty, so how could he not leave some trump cards for his son to save his life?
The Heavenly Net Umbrella and the Seven Absolute Dragon Scale Armor are examples, aren't they?

In addition, Su Mu suspected that Du Rongcheng had other trump cards up his sleeve.

Now, facing these Void Beasts, Su Mu is helpless and can only place his hopes on Du Rongcheng.

"My father is my father, and I am me."

Du Rongcheng's expression was somewhat stiff. "My father did give me a set of precious armor, but it can only save my own life. I really don't have the ability to make the Void Beasts retreat."

Du Rongcheng's eyes darted around and avoided his gaze as he spoke.

Su Mu sneered, "Du Rongcheng, I can tell you, if the Void Beasts do not retreat today, you will die."

"Your father's armor couldn't protect your life; Liu Rufeng is a prime example."

Du Rongcheng's body stiffened.

He wasn't afraid of those Void Beasts; after all, even if they were Celestial Venerable-level Void Beasts, his armor could withstand them for a while.

But he was afraid of Su Mu.

The Seven Absolute Dragon Scale Armor could withstand the Heavenly Venerable's attack, but it was pierced through by Su Mu with a long spear.

Liu Rufeng is now dead, not even ashes remain.

He didn't want to follow in Liu Rufeng's footsteps.

These weapon-smiths are the most annoying; nobody knows what kind of divine weapons they possess.

His father, Du Bao, was like that, and so is Su Mu.

These people's strength is unfathomable. You think their strength has reached its peak, but they just casually pull out a divine weapon that directly increases their combat power by 30%.

Who are you going to talk to to reason with this?
Although Su Mu should not be able to break through his armor, who knows if Su Mu still has that kind of spear.
Du Rongcheng dared not gamble with his own life.

Why would Du Rongcheng, whose life is so precious, gamble with Su Mu, a peasant?

Winning a bet doesn't bring much benefit, but losing a bet can cost you your life.

Du Rongcheng was a spoiled brat with little cunning, and Su Mu could tell from his hesitation.

“Du Rongcheng, Liu Rufeng has already left. You are now the only envoy of the Great Qian Dynasty in this world. If you want to make a name for yourself, then cooperating with me is your only option.”

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "I am the Lord of Yang in this world, and I can bring you benefits you cannot even imagine."

Now, all you need to do is make a tiny sacrifice to drive away these monsters, and you'll win my friendship.

Du Rongcheng's heart skipped a beat.

He and Liu Rufeng, as the vanguard of the Great Qian Dynasty, came here with a mission.

However, with Liu Rufeng dead, their mission can be considered a failure.

If he were to return to the Great Qian Dynasty, even he would inevitably face punishment.

Su Mu's words, however, showed him another possibility.

Su Mu is already the Lord of Yang in this world. If Su Mu is really willing to help him, then he might actually be able to get away with it.

"You have no time to hesitate. If too many people die, I won't need you to withdraw your troops."

Su Mu said coldly.

Shouts of killing and screams of agony echoed from all around.

With almost every breath, a martial artist fell.

Although these warriors were not from the Great Xuan Dynasty, they were still a force that Su Mu could command in the future, and Su Mu did not want to watch them fall under the claws of the Void Beast.

Du Rongcheng sensed the murderous intent in Su Mu's words and couldn't help but tremble.

"I really don't have that ability."

Du Rongcheng said with a wry smile, "However, I do have a heavenly weapon that my father gave me. He told me that I can only use it when my life is in danger."

I had never used it before.

"That's my last trump card. I can lend it to you, but I can't guarantee it will make these Void Beasts retreat."

"Bring it here."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"I can lend you the heavenly soldiers, but you must keep your promise—"

Du Rongcheng said.

"I always keep my word."

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "As long as you help me, I will help you too."

Du Rongcheng's expression was conflicted as he reluctantly reached his hands into his robes.

Then he took something out from his chest.

It was a small statue.

The statue is only the size of a palm, and it seems to be carved from wood. It is polished to a perfect smoothness and emits a strange fragrance.

Su Mu reached out to grab the statue, but couldn't quite get it.

Du Rongcheng was seen gripping the statue tightly, his face full of reluctance.

“My dad said that we only have one of these things in our family. Once it’s used up, we’ll never have another one. We must never use it unless absolutely necessary.”

Du Rongcheng said, "This is truly my last trump card; you can't lie to me—"

"Let go!"

Su Mu said impatiently, and snatched the statue into his hands in one swift motion.

"how to use?"

Su Mu didn't have time to waste with Du Rongcheng; the more time he delayed, the more people would die or be injured.

"Just put your power into it."

Du Rongcheng said with a bitter face.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mu unleashed his power, which surged into the statue.

He wasn't afraid of any tricks Du Rongcheng might play.

Now he is so close to Du Rongcheng that if he wanted to kill him, no one in the world could save him.

He believed that Du Rongcheng wouldn't dare to joke about his own life.

Su Mu himself was essentially trying anything as a last resort.

Although he believed his weapon-making skills were no less than Du Bao's, he was still young and lacked the experience and expertise of a seasoned weapon-maker like Du Bao.

If Du Rongcheng's trump card cannot resolve the current crisis, then Su Mu will have to consider leading his men to retreat temporarily.

He has very little power at his disposal right now, and he is no match for so many Void Beasts.

In the blink of an eye, the statue in Su Mu's hand was already emitting a dazzling light.

boom!
With a loud bang, the power exploded.

A colossal figure appeared in the air as the statue shattered.

The figure's face was indistinct, its feet were on the ground, and its head reached the sky.

The moment it appeared, even the celestial beings in the sky couldn't help but stop what they were doing.

"roll!"

The enormous figure let out a roar, the sound waves rolling and visible to the naked eye.

With a flick of his arm, he delivered a punch to a Void Beast of the Celestial Venerable level.

The Void Beast, a Celestial-level being, was unable to dodge in time and was sent flying by a single punch.

This scene left everyone speechless.

Having landed a successful blow, the enormous figure took a step forward and then blasted towards another Celestial Venerable-level Void Beast.

Having learned from past mistakes, the Heavenly Venerable-level Void Beast flashed its figure repeatedly.

It must be said that the speed of the Celestial Venerable-level Void Beast was extremely fast, leaving behind afterimages in the air.

It was fast, but the enormous figure was even faster, grabbing the Void Beast in its hand with a mere flick of its wrist.

boom!
The impact of the forces produced a deafening roar.

That Celestial Venerable-level Void Beast was directly crushed by the enormous figure.

"roll!"

The enormous figure roared once more.

This time, all the Celestial Venerable-level Void Beasts showed fear on their faces.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Void Beasts turned and left, pounced on the ground, and disappeared into the crack.

With the Celestial Venerable-level Void Beast taking the lead, the other Void Beasts also began to flee.

The scene descended into chaos.

The warriors of the mortal realm watched helplessly as everything unfolded, momentarily unsure whether they should stop these Void Beasts.

In a short while, all the Void Beasts had disappeared into the crack, and there were none left in their field of vision.

suddenly.

The enormous figure turned its head, its gaze falling from the sky onto Li Tianzun.

This sudden turn of events left everyone in the room stunned.

Li Tianzun also stopped in mid-air, his body somewhat stiff.

He witnessed firsthand how that enormous figure instantly crushed a Celestial Venerable-level Void Beast.

Although he believed himself to be stronger than the Void Beast, he was not confident that he could withstand a single blow from that enormous figure.

Damn it, where did Su Mu summon this thing from?
Would he really do something to me in front of the whole world?
Although I had targeted him before, at least we hadn't openly broken off relations. Could he really be so reckless?
Li Tianzun was filled with unease when he suddenly heard Su Mu's soft laughter. (End of Chapter)
