The First Marquis of Daxuan

The Heavenly Venerables of Shenhou, Chouniu, Xugou, and Wuma are Heavenly Venerables from the twelve major tribes of the Void Beasts.

When the four of them descended from the sky, they saw hundreds of Void Beasts fighting fiercely in the wilderness.

They fought fiercely like mortal enemies.

The four Heavenly Venerables' expressions all darkened.

These hundreds of Void Beasts are engaged in a fierce battle, many of which are their own kind.

However, the four tribes have always been closely connected and have no enmity with each other.

"Stop it all!"

Shenhou Tianzun stepped forward, slammed a stick as thick as a large bowl into the ground, and shouted.

In an instant, the ground churned like waves, and visible sound waves crashed directly onto the Void Beasts.

The hundreds of Void Beasts were propelled several meters into the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

In other words, Shenhou Tianzun had no intention of harming anyone; otherwise, these hundreds of Void Beasts would have been severely injured, if not killed.

When they finally managed to get up from the ground, Shenhou Tianzun was already standing in front of them, looking at them with an icy expression.

"What are you doing?"

Shenhou Tianzun said coldly.

"The Heavenly Venerable Shenhou..."

A beast from the Shenhou tribe whispered, "We're robbing the Five Elements Mountain..."

In front of its own tribe's ancestor, it did not hide anything and recounted the whole story.

Upon hearing that Su Mu had abandoned the Five Elements Mountain and fled far away, the four Void Beast Celestial Venerables exchanged glances.

Five Elements Mountain is a treasure, something even Void Beast Celestial Venerables like them covet. How could Su Mu be willing to give it up?
Where is the Five Elements Mountain?

Shenhou Tianzun paused for a moment, then slowly asked.

"Right over there."

The beast of the Shenhou tribe raised its hand and pointed to a small mountain not far away.

When the Four Great Void Beast Celestial Venerables arrived here, they also saw the small mountain. However, because no one was activating it, the aura on the Five Elements Mountain was not apparent, and they thought it was just an ordinary small mountain.

Only when the beast of the Shenhou tribe pointed at them did they realize what was happening.

That was actually the legendary Five Elements Mountain!
Without the slightest hesitation, the four Void Beast Celestial Venerables arrived in front of the Five Elements Mountain in a flash.

Right in front of hundreds of Void Beasts, the four of them began to examine the Five Elements Mountain.

The hundreds of Void Beasts could only watch obediently, sighing repeatedly in their hearts.

With the arrival of the Void Beast Celestial Venerable, the credit for obtaining the Five Elements Mountain naturally has nothing to do with them.

Some of the bolder Void Beasts began to secretly pass on messages.

We may not have earned the credit for capturing the Five Elements Mountain, but we can't forget the credit for tipping them off.

The lord said that there would be a reward for anyone who could obtain information about Su Mu.

The news about Five Elements Mountain is certainly a merit.

The four Void Beast Celestial Venerables paid no attention to the small actions of the Void Beasts; their attention was completely drawn to the Five Elements Mountain.

After a long while, the four Void Beast Celestial Venerables exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

"That's right, it really is Five Elements Mountain."

Ugly Ox Celestial Venerable said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect Su Mu to actually be willing to do it."

If I were him, I probably wouldn't be willing to give up this Five Elements Mountain either.

"He's a ruthless man."

Xu Gou Tianzun nodded and said, "He is decisive when necessary and does not hesitate to give up what should be given up. Such a person is somewhat similar to Zhu Tongtian when he was young. No wonder he was able to become the Lord of Yang in the Yang Realm."

As long as this person lives, he remains the greatest threat to our Void Realm.

"Therefore, we cannot let him return to the Yang Realm alive. He is already so troublesome now. If we let him become a Heavenly Venerable of the Yang Realm, will our Void Realm still have any chance of survival?"

Wu Ma Tianzun Dao.

In an instant, the four Heavenly Venerables saw the intense killing intent in each other's eyes.

At first, they only chased after Su Mu out of respect for Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, at his request.

They didn't think this Shetland Sheepdog was anything special at the time.

But as they chased after Su Mu, they realized how troublesome he was.

Especially now, seeing that Su Mu was willing to abandon the Five Elements Mountain in order to escape, their fear of Su Mu has reached its peak.

If Su Mu could think of using the Five Elements Mountain to sow discord among the Void Beasts, how could the Four Great Void Beast Celestial Venerables not have thought of it?

However, the four Void Beast Celestial Venerables thought a step further; they realized just how terrifying Su Mu was.

Of course, the four Void Beast Celestial Venerables did not expect that the Five Elements Mountain in front of them was fake. They just felt that Su Mu was too ruthless to abandon such a precious treasure as the Five Elements Mountain.

It can only be said that Su Mu's weapon-forging skills were too high. This Five Elements Mountain was so realistic that it could be mistaken for the real thing. Although it fooled the Four Great Void Beast Heavenly Venerables, it also made them keep an eye on him.

"What do we do now? Should we send the Five Elements Mountain to Zhu Tongtian first? Or continue hunting down Su Mu?"

The Ox Celestial Venerable looked at the other three Celestial Venerables and asked.

"No need to send it to me, I came myself."

No sooner had it finished speaking than a voice came from beside it.

Along with that sound, a figure shot in from the horizon.

However, it was Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, who arrived.

It was not far from here to begin with, and it rushed over immediately after receiving the news.

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, was also aware that, looking across the Void Realm, there were many Void Beasts that did not want it to regain its peak strength.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, it must seize control of the Five Elements Mountain as soon as possible.

It landed in front of the Four Heavenly Venerables, its gaze swept over them, and it cupped its hands in a gesture of respect.

"Zhu Tongtian greets the four Heavenly Venerables. Thank you for your trouble."

Zhu Tongtian spoke up.

Although he appeared polite, Zhu Tongtian's words revealed little fear of the Four Great Void Beasts Celestial Venerables.

If Su Mu were here, he would definitely be curious about Zhu Tongtian's attitude towards the Four Great Void Beasts Celestial Venerables.

However, the four Void Beast Celestial Venerables were not angry because of Zhu Tongtian's attitude. Instead, they nodded to Zhu Tongtian very politely.

"You've come at the perfect time. We were just wondering what to do with this Five Elements Mountain."

Ugly Ox Celestial Venerable said, "If we send it to you first, it will definitely delay our pursuit of Su Mu."

"If I don't send it to you, entrusting it to these lads will inevitably cause trouble."

"There's no need to worry now. I've taken Five Elements Mountain with me. I'll leave the rest to you to continue hunting down Su Mu."

"Zhu Tongtian, the Lord of the Void Beasts, said."

"That's what we thought too."

The four Void Beast Celestial Venerables nodded and said.

"Zhu Tongtian, this Five Elements Mountain is no ordinary treasure. If you want to subdue it, do you need us to protect you?"

Shenhou Tianzun said, "As the saying goes, sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. Anyway, Su Mu is trapped in the Void Realm and can't escape for a while. The most important thing is for you to recover your strength."

I was thinking, given Su Mu's cunning, what if he were to launch a surprise attack while you were subduing the Five Elements Mountain? Wouldn't you be in danger then?

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, looked thoughtful.

If someone had told it these things before, it would have just scoffed.

How much trouble could a mere Shetland Sheepdog possibly cause it?

However, Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, no longer dares to think that way.

It had fought Su Mu before and knew very well just how strong Su Mu was.

If what Shenhou Tianzun said is true, and Su Mu were to launch a surprise attack, it could indeed pose a danger to him.

After all, it cannot afford to be distracted if it wants to subdue the Five Elements Mountain.

If Su Mu suddenly appears while it is subduing the Five Elements Mountain, it could indeed be doomed.

“The Heavenly Venerable Shenhou has thought things through thoroughly; it is indeed my oversight.”

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, pondered.

Now that the Five Elements Mountain is in its grasp, it must subdue it as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.

The only ones who can protect me now are these four Celestial Venerables. Going to find other Void Beast Celestial Venerables at the last minute will only complicate matters further.

In comparison, the pursuit of Su Mu was no longer so urgent.

"In that case, I will trouble the four Heavenly Venerables to protect me."

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, made a decisive decision and said in a deep voice.

Shenhou Tianzun and the other four Void Beast Tianzun nodded. In the blink of an eye, they had already occupied the four positions, leaving the area of ​​more than a hundred feet in the middle to Zhu Tongtian, the Void Beast Lord.

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, carefully set up another layer of defense around the area before starting to attack the Five Elements Mountain.

…………

Just as Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, was preparing to subdue the Five Elements Mountain, a strange smile appeared on Su Mu's face hundreds of miles away.

"Fish, you've taken the bait."

Su Mu muttered to himself. He looked around at the vast, ink-wash-like landscape, determined his direction, and then disappeared again.

…………

hum!
A soft sound echoed around, and the "Five Elements Mountain" emitted a faint light, which resonated with the light emanating from Zhu Tongtian, the Lord of the Void Beasts.

In an instant, the aura emanating from Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, continued to rise.

In a short period of time, its aura had become no weaker than that of an ordinary celestial being.

This scene startled all four of them, including Shenhou Tianzun.

"As expected of Zhu Tongtian, if it were to recover its peak strength, it might not lose even if it encountered us."

Shenhou Tianzun's lips moved slightly as he transmitted his voice to the other three Xushou Tianzun.

"Who can argue with that? Fortunately, we've always maintained a relationship with it. Even if it does return to its peak one day, it won't make things difficult for us."

The Ox Celestial Venerable said.

The other three Celestial Venerables' expressions turned somewhat solemn upon hearing what the Ox Celestial Venerable said.

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts.

This name alone says a lot.

In the Yang Realm, the Lord of Yang only governs warriors below the Heavenly Venerable level, but in the Void Realm, the Lord of the Void Beasts can govern almost all the Void Beasts. Even the Heavenly Venerable of the Void Beasts has to give it some face.

The reason for this is undoubtedly partly due to the strength of Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts.

But on the other hand, there is the origin of Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts.

To be honest, although Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, is very powerful, as long as he is not a Celestial Venerable, there is still a gap between him and the Void Beast Celestial Venerable.

If the Void Beast Celestial Venerable gives it face, then it is the supreme ruler of the Void Beasts; if he doesn't give it face, then what is it?
Just like Su Mu, even the Celestial Venerables like Li Tianzun of the Cangqiong Sect didn't take him seriously.

Unlike Su Mu, Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, is said to be the reincarnation of the ancestor of the Void Realm.

The Ancestor of the Void Realm, also known as the Void Ancestor, is said to be the progenitor of all Void Beasts, with a status equivalent to the Great Celestial Venerable of the Yang Realm.

It is precisely because of this origin that the Celestial Venerables of the Void Realm both respect and fear it.

Of course, no one knows whether the concept of reincarnation is true or not.

These Void Beast Celestial Venerables were only being cautious, which is why they showed more respect to the Void Beast Lord Zhu Tongtian. However, now that the four Shenhou Celestial Venerables have noticed the change in the aura emanating from Zhu Tongtian, they vaguely feel that the legend might not be entirely unfounded.

Otherwise, how could the aura emanating from Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, be so terrifying?
This is nothing like an ordinary Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator!
Although Zhu Tongtian was not yet a Celestial Venerable, the aura emanating from him was terrifying even to the Celestial Venerable of the Void Beast.

"This Five Elements Mountain is indeed extraordinary."

The Dog Celestial Venerable said, "It is said that it was left behind by the Great Celestial Venerable of the Yang Realm. Why do you think that a treasure left behind by the Great Celestial Venerable of the Yang Realm can restrain Zhu Tongtian?"

Zhu Tongtian and the Great Celestial Venerable of the Yang Realm shouldn't have any interaction.

"Who would know such a thing? It might just be a coincidence."

Even we would have difficulty dealing with a treasure as powerful as the Five Elements Mountain, so the claim of its restraint might simply be because the Five Elements Mountain is too powerful.

"This is what Wu Ma Tianzun said."

As the four Heavenly Venerables were discussing, they saw Zhu Tongtian, the Lord of the Void Beasts, grab the Five Elements Mountain with both hands, as if he wanted to devour it.

Just then, a dangerous aura suddenly filled the room.

The expressions of the four Void Beasts all changed.

However, they did not take any action.

They worried that their rash intervention might affect Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts.

If there is real danger, Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, will definitely ask for help.

Since it didn't ask for help, it's not in danger.

This dangerous aura may be emanating from the power of the Five Elements Mountain itself.

The four Void Beast Celestial Venerables stared wide-eyed, all wanting to see just how far the Void Beast Lord Zhu Tongtian could go.

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, had already lifted the Five Elements Mountain. He opened his mouth wide and began to devour it.

suddenly.

The Five Elements Mountain shone brightly.

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, suddenly changed his expression.

Just as it was about to speak, the Five Elements Mountain transformed into a ball of light and exploded with a roar.

The change was so sudden that Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, had no time to react.

A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth.

Rumble!
The wind was raging.

The surge of power forced the four Void Beast Celestial Venerables to retreat repeatedly.

"Incredible. As expected of the reincarnation of the legendary Ancestor of the Void, this power is already capable of harming us."

Wu Ma Tianzun exclaimed in praise.

"Who can argue with that? It's only at the Heavenly Fate Realm, yet it possesses such power. If it were to become a Heavenly Venerable, I'm afraid even if we joined forces, we wouldn't be able to defeat it."

The Heavenly Venerable of the Dog (戌狗天尊道).

"Something's not right, it looks like something's happened."

Shenhou Tianzun said in a deep voice, and with a sway of its body, it pounced forward first.

The other three Celestial Venerables then realized what was happening.

The explosive force was not caused by Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, regaining his strength.

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, is in danger!
Before the three of them could act, they heard the angry roar of Shenhou Tianzun.

The deafening roar continued, and the earth trembled violently.

The gust of wind that rushed towards them caused all three Void Beast Celestial Venerables to instinctively close their eyes.

A gigantic mushroom cloud rose into the air.

The hundreds of Void Beasts that had not yet dispersed in the distance were completely terrified.

They stared intently at everything, as if they were witnessing the end of the world.

The blinding white light, the astonishing mushroom cloud, and the deafening roar lasted for a full half hour before completely dissipating.

After the white light and dust dissipated, the three Void Beast Celestial Venerables and hundreds of Void Beasts finally saw what had happened at the location where the Void Beast Lord Zhu Tongtian had originally been.

There stood a large, craggy mountain, with a head peeking out from its base.

The head was none other than Shenhou Tianzun.

Shenhou Tianzun was suppressed under the mountain, but what about Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts?

All the Void Beasts' gazes shifted rapidly, and then they saw Zhu Tongtian, the Void Beast Lord.

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, lay on his back not far from the foot of the mountain, his body covered in blood and gore.

If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of its chest, the other beasts would have thought it was dead.

For a moment, the whole place was silent.

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, was seriously injured, and Shenhou Tianzun was suppressed. What exactly happened?
Just then, a furious roar rang out.

Shenhou Tianzun opened his eyes, and the mountain on his back exploded with a roar, allowing him to fly directly into the air.

Its expression was extremely unpleasant.

It had just rescued Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, but due to a moment of carelessness, it was crushed under the exploding Five Elements Mountain.

Actually, it wasn't injured.

He was just a little stunned by the force of the explosion, which is why he was temporarily pinned down by the rocks.

Being hit by a pile of rocks doesn't cause much damage, but it's incredibly humiliating.

Especially in front of so many Void Beasts.

It's too shameful for the mighty Monkey King to be suppressed by someone.

Shenhou Tianzun soared into the sky, letting out a wild roar.

"Su Mu, I want you dead!"

It transformed into a streak of light and vanished instantly, having no face to remain here any longer.

The three Void Beast Celestial Venerables looked at each other in bewilderment.

Shenhou Tianzun just left like that?
They have no idea what's going on.

For a moment, the three of them didn't know whether to chase after Shenhou Tianzun or go see Zhu Tongtian, the Lord of the Void Beasts.

After a long while, the three of them finally reacted and came to the side of Zhu Tongtian, the Lord of the Void Beasts.

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, was still lying on his back, his eyes fixed on the sky.

Seeing that it was still alive, the three Void Beast Celestial Venerables breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhu Tongtian, are you alright?"

The Dog Celestial Venerable asked.

"The Five Elements Mountain is fake; we've been fooled."

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, remained silent for a long time before taking a deep breath and speaking.

"I can't believe I actually fell for his trick!"

"Well done, Su Mu! I, Zhu Tongtian, admit you're worthy to be my opponent."

Zhu Tongtian truly lived up to his title as the Lord of the Void Beasts, recovering from the blow in a short period of time.

However, although it regained its fighting spirit, it could not immediately recover from its injuries.

This time, its injuries from being outmaneuvered were more severe than when it was ambushed by Fu Canglan, the sect leader of the Cangqiong Sect, and Wu Zu, the sect leader of the Wuzong Sect, right after it escaped.

This was arguably the most serious injury it had ever suffered.

It almost died.

This was definitely the closest it ever came to death.

Before the Five Elements Mountain exploded, it did not realize that the Five Elements Mountain was fake, so it was completely unprepared.

If it weren't for Shenhou Tianzun sharing some of the explosive force, it probably would have really died from this sneak attack.

The three Void Beast Celestial Venerables looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is Wuxing Mountain fake?

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, was almost killed in the explosion.

The reason why Shenhou Tianzun was buried in dust and dirt was also because of that Five Elements Mountain.

How could Su Mu have caused such a huge uproar?
Who exactly is this person?

The three Void Beast Celestial Venerables couldn't help but feel a little scared. They had inspected the Five Elements Mountain, and they hadn't found out that it was fake.

If the Five Elements Mountain had exploded back then, would the three of them have been injured as well?

Even if they weren't injured, what if Zhu Tongtian died from the ambush of the Five Elements Mountain? How would they explain that to the other Heavenly Venerables?
Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, had many staunch commanders behind him. If those Void Beast Celestial Venerables knew that Zhu Tongtian had died right under their noses, they probably wouldn't let it go so easily.

"Are you ok?"

The three Void Beast Celestial Venerables looked at Zhu Tongtian, the Void Beast Lord, and said.

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, was seriously injured and didn't even have the strength to sit up.

"Very good, better than ever before!"

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, gritted his teeth and said, "I want to have some fun with Su Mu. I want to see if he really has the ability to escape back to the Yang Realm alive!"

It exudes unparalleled fighting spirit.

“The three of you, Su Mu used a fake Five Elements Mountain to ambush me. He probably wants to take this opportunity to escape back to the Yang Realm. Now, you must act immediately and block all roads.”

"Zhu Tongtian, the Lord of the Ruins Beasts, said in a deep voice."

"What will you do if we leave?"

The Three Great Ruins Beasts Heavenly Venerable Dao.

"It's alright, we still have these, don't we?"

Zhu Tongtian, the Lord of the Void Beasts, gestured with his eyes to the hundreds of Void Beasts around him. "Originally, we were worried that Su Mu would launch a surprise attack, but now that it has been proven that the Five Elements Mountain is fake, he has no need to launch a surprise attack. He will definitely take the opportunity to escape back to the Yang Realm."

"These Void Beasts are enough to protect me. You all go and block his escape route."

"Ok."

The three Void Beast Celestial Venerables exchanged a glance.

"Remember, if you see Su Mu, don't waste any words with him, kill him immediately."

Zhu Tongtian, the Lord of the Void Beasts, gave instructions.

The three Void Beast Celestial Venerables nodded, then soared into the sky, flying towards the border between the Yang Realm and the Void Realm.

Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts, took a deep breath.

"Su Mu, Su Mu, I'd like to see if you can fly to the sky or sink to the ground."

Zhu Tongtian, the Lord of the Void Beasts, sneered, "Now that I no longer have the Void Beast Heavenly Venerable by my side, if you have the guts, then try to kill me."

If you really come, I'll give you a huge surprise!

A cunning glint flashed deep in the eyes of Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beasts.

…………

The Celestial Thief and Celestial Congratulation were surrounded by a cloak that emitted an ink-wash-colored light, concealing their bodies and blending them perfectly into the surrounding environment.

They looked up at the sky and saw streaks of Void Beasts rushing past, completely unaware of the presence of the two Yang Realm Celestial Venerables on the ground.

"What's happening in the Ruins Realm? Why is there such a commotion?"

"The Heavenly Thief muttered to himself." (End of Chapter)
