The First Marquis of Daxuan

Great Heavenly Venerable.

When the name of the Great Celestial Venerable was mentioned, Jin Yi couldn't help but recall the image of the Venerable Venerable venturing alone into the Yanfu Sect.

Describe the Great Celestial Venerable in one sentence.

Jin Yi could only think of four words.

That is to be honorable even in defeat.

That's right, although the Great Celestial Venerable lost that day, he was not shameful at all.

In fact, if it weren't for Su Mu lending the Immortal-Slaying Blade to Xuanwu Protector, although the Great Celestial Venerable might still have lost in the end, he definitely wouldn't have lost so miserably.

Even though he suffered such a crushing defeat in the end, it did not diminish the fact that the Great Celestial Venerable was one of the top experts of his time.

Because the one who defeated him was the Xuanwu Protector of the Yanfu Sect, who at the time still possessed the magical Immortal-Slaying Blade.

Watching Su Mu's receding figure, Jin Yi couldn't help but wonder if Su Mu was capable of killing the Great Celestial Venerable.

In the end, he concluded that it was hard to say.

If Su Mu could defeat the Great Celestial Venerable, Jin Yi believed it was very possible, but killing the Great Celestial Venerable and defeating the Great Celestial Venerable were not the same level of difficulty.

Defeating a Dao Realm expert is easy, but killing one is almost impossible.

"Old Jin, stop looking. Su Mu has always been like this. He has been a pillar of support for us, so we can't hold him back."

While he fights on the front lines, we must take care of things at home.

Jin Yi then came to his senses and began to immerse himself in his own identity.

He did not accept the gifts from the Xuanwu Protector, but instead chose to stay with Su Mu.

Next, he will take all of Xuanwu Protector's belongings and go with the people of Da Xuan to expand their territory and wait for Su Mu's return.

…………

Su Mu increased his speed, his entire body streaking across the sky like a bolt of lightning.

Even if someone looked up at that moment, their naked eye couldn't keep up with his speed.

He was in such a hurry to leave because he knew that the Great Celestial Venerable was injured.

As the saying goes, kill him while he is sick.

If we wait until the Great Celestial Venerable recovers from his injuries, who knows if his strength will reach an even higher level?

The Great Celestial Venerable wanted to kill Su Mu to reclaim that wisp of chaotic energy, and he also wanted to kill the Great Celestial Venerable to avenge the Saha World.

Now is the best opportunity.

Although he went to kill the Great Celestial Venerable, Su Mu only took the Immortal-Slaying Blade with him when he left, leaving the Yanfu Secret Realm to Jin Yi.

The reason wasn't because of Jin Yi's idea of ​​fishing.

Rather, it is because of the existence of the Yanfu Secret Realm that Da Xuan can maintain relations with the Yanfu Sect.

The Great Xuan Dynasty is currently in its initial stage and needs to rely on external forces.

Otherwise, any force in this vast world could bring the Great Xuan Dynasty to its doom.

Because of the connection to the Yanfu Secret Realm, the Yanfu Sect has to protect the Great Xuan Dynasty.

In addition, people from the Great Xuan Dynasty can also enter the Yanfu Secret Realm for trials, thereby rapidly improving their cultivation.

As for Su Mu, even without the Yanfu Secret Realm, he was confident that he could defeat the Great Celestial Venerable.

Su Mu did not conceal his aura; he released it without reservation.

The Great Celestial Venerable could sense his location, and he could also sense the location of the Great Celestial Venerable.

After pinpointing the location, Su Mu leaped towards it.

A moment later, a figure appeared in the air, staring intently at Su Mu, who was dozens of feet away.

"Su Mu!"

The Great Celestial Venerable spoke through gritted teeth.

His greatest humiliation was that Su Mu had taken away a wisp of his chaotic energy.

If it weren't for the missing wisp of chaotic energy, how could his cultivation have left any flaws?

If his cultivation had no flaws, how could he have had his arm severed by the Xuanwu Protector of the Yanfu Sect last time?
He was worried about not being able to find Su Mu, but unexpectedly Su Mu came to him on his own initiative.

"The Ultimate Realm of Dao".

He stared at Su Mu and said coldly, "No wonder you dared to appear in front of me, it turns out you have broken through to the Dao Extreme Realm."

I must admit, you are the most talented person I have ever met.

"If you hadn't insisted on opposing me, it wouldn't have been impossible for me to take you as my disciple."

"To become your disciple? And then your sacrifice?"

Su Mu said with a cold smile, "Even the Great Celestial Venerable has had disciples."

Isn't Zhu Tongtian, the ruler of the Void Beast Kingdom, his disciple?
She almost died at his hands.

The Great Celestial Venerable is ultimately a heartless and insane madman.

Using the myriad living beings of an entire small world as sacrifices, just to achieve his ultimate Dao realm, is something a normal person would do?
Even in the vast world, few people would do something so crazy.

In order to enhance his power, the Great Celestial Venerable would stop at nothing.

In the eyes of the Great Celestial Venerable, everyone except himself is a consumable that can be sacrificed.

"I have already reached the Dao Extreme Realm and no longer need sacrifices."

The Great Celestial Venerable said without changing his expression, "Considering your talent, I will give you one last chance."

"Now, hand over the Chaos Qi, then kneel and submit, and I will spare your life."

"Haha."

Su Mu laughed loudly, "Great Celestial Venerable, who gave you the confidence to think you can talk to me like that?"

It seems the lesson you learned from the Black Tortoise Protector last time wasn't enough.

Their eyes met in mid-air, sparks flying.

Although they haven't officially clashed yet, their auras have already collided in mid-air.

While they were talking, they were both testing each other.

Both the Great Celestial Venerable and Su Mu knew that the other was the most powerful enemy they had ever encountered in their lives.

Despite their nonchalant tone, they were all well aware that their opponent's strength was no less than their own.

This battle will undoubtedly be the most difficult battle of their lives.

A slight misstep could lead to death and the annihilation of one's spiritual essence.

They were all extremely cautious and dared not underestimate their opponents in the slightest.

"Hmph, since you refuse to listen to reason, I'll show you what true Posuo Martial Arts is all about today!"

The Great Celestial Venerable said coldly, then suddenly took a step forward.

boom!
With a loud bang, the Great Celestial Venerable's figure vanished into thin air.

The next moment, dozens of Great Celestial Venerables suddenly appeared around Su Mu's body.

The dozens of Great Celestial Venerables attacked Su Mu simultaneously from all directions.

The immense power tore through space, seemingly capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, and was about to shred Su Mu to pieces.

In an instant, the world changed color.

Su Mu's expression remained unchanged. He slowly raised his hand, and a long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

With a slight flick of his wrist, he unleashed a flurry of sword light, each strike almost simultaneously.

Dozens of sword lights simultaneously slashed towards dozens of Great Celestial Venerables.

There was almost no time difference between each flash of the blade.

It was as if dozens of Su Mus were wielding their swords at the same time.

When the Great Celestial Venerable saw the knife in Su Mu's hand, his pupils suddenly contracted.

However, the next moment, a mocking smile appeared on the lips of dozens of Great Celestial Venerables.

"You suffered some losses under this knife last time. Do you think that after all this time, I haven't thought about how to deal with it?"

I will never fall in the same place twice.

"Thinking you can bully me with your weapon? You're dreaming!"

The Great Celestial Venerable snorted coldly.

Suddenly, a blinding white light emanated from his body, and the next moment, dozens of Grand Celestial Venerables each had a heavy shield in their hands.

It's too late, but it's soon.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

The blades clashed with the shields, producing a deafening sound.

There was a loud bang.

The visible aftershocks of the force spread out in all directions.

The aftershock of that force struck the distant mountaintop, instantly leveling it and snapping countless trees at waist height.

In an instant, the entire area within a radius of a hundred miles was a scene of utter devastation.

Ding Ding Deng!
Su Mu and the Great Celestial Venerable both took two steps back.

Dozens of great celestial beings transformed back into one great celestial being.

He glanced down at the shield in his hand, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

His shield, which he had meticulously crafted specifically for this moment, is now broken in two, with a smooth, clean cut.

Although the shield was destroyed, it still managed to block the blow.

Su Mu looked at the destroyed shield, feeling rather puzzled.

He knew that the Great Celestial Venerable was a weapon forger, and a weapon forger whose skills were unparalleled.

The divine weapons destined for the Saha world were actually created by the Great Celestial Venerable.

The fact that the Great Celestial Venerable could forge a shield capable of blocking the Immortal-Slaying Blade in such a short time demonstrates just how powerful his weapon-forging skills are.

However, no matter how powerful the Great Celestial Venerable's weapon-forging skills are, they may not be stronger than Su Mu's.

Even Su Mu cannot forge a weapon that can rival the Immortal-Slaying Blade.

The Immortal-Slaying Blade has surpassed ordinary weapons. Even the heavenly soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty are nothing but scrap metal compared to it.

It has already reached the level of a spiritual treasure.

Even Su Mu had not yet mastered the method of refining spiritual treasures, so how could the Great Celestial Venerable possibly deduce the method of refining spiritual treasures out of thin air?

Being able to block a single blow is already a testament to the Great Celestial Venerable's skill.

This second one—

Su Mu snorted coldly and took a step forward.

As he took that step, Su Mu swung his sword and slashed out.

"Great Celestial Venerable, it's my turn to attack!"

Su Mu shouted.

This wasn't the first time he and the Great Celestial Venerable had clashed.

In every previous encounter, he was in a passive and defensive position.

Even just now, it was the Great Celestial Venerable who made the first move.

Now, it's Su Mu's turn to fight back.

Cut it out with one knife.

It was as if heaven and earth had been sliced ​​open.

Create the world!
Swish!
The sharp blade light disregarded time and space; the moment Su Mu swung his blade, it had already reached the Great Celestial Venerable.

The Great Celestial Venerable roared, and his body shone brightly.

He flashed backward, his movements almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

They could only see figures appearing and disappearing intermittently, and in the blink of an eye, they were already several miles away.

The blade flashed like a shadow, leaving a dark crack in the air.

boom!
at last.

As the power of the sword light was exhausted, the figure of the Great Celestial Venerable reappeared.

He looked at the scar on his shoulder with an expression of disbelief.

Ever since his defeat at the hands of the Xuanwu Protector, he has been devising a plan to deal with the sword in the Xuanwu Protector's hand.

He came up with many ideas and was confident that if he encountered the Xuanwu Protector again, even if he couldn't win, he would definitely not lose again.

But now, facing Su Mu wielding the Immortal-Slaying Blade, the Great Celestial Venerable suddenly realized that the blade was completely different in Su Mu's hands than it was in the hands of the Xuanwu Protector.

In Su Mu's hands, it becomes even more powerful and unpredictable.

Even with his strength, he couldn't completely dodge the power of that strike!
His eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous glint flashed in the Great Celestial Venerable's pupils.

Losing to the Xuanwu Protector is understandable, since the Xuanwu Protector is a veteran Dao Extreme Realm expert, while the Great Heavenly Venerable, although he has broken through to the Dao Extreme Realm, still has flaws in his cultivation.

But losing to Su Mu is something the Great Celestial Venerable absolutely cannot accept!

In the eyes of the Great Celestial Venerable, Su Mu was nothing more than his disciple and grand-disciple. The martial arts of the Saha World were created by the Great Celestial Venerable himself.

Now, a junior dares to try and get ahead of him. How can he tolerate this?
"This knife is very good!"

The Great Celestial Venerable stared intently at the knife in Su Mu's hand and said coldly.

He only praised the sword, but not Su Mu's cultivation level.

Because he was unwilling to admit that Su Mu's cultivation level was no weaker than his own.

Su Mu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

He understood what the Great Celestial Venerable meant: he was able to injure the Great Celestial Venerable because of the quality of his sword, not because his cultivation level was high enough.

He certainly wouldn't engage in such a verbal dispute with the Great Celestial Venerable.

"Then take another stab from me."

Su Mu strode forward and unleashed another slash.

A hint of apprehension flashed deep in the eyes of the Great Celestial Venerable, and the next moment, a ruthless look appeared on his face.

In an instant, a beam of light flowed across his entire body, transforming into a suit of armor.

At the same time, a long sword appeared in the Great Celestial Venerable's hand.

jingle.

There was a crisp sound.

The two knives collided.

The long sword in the Great Celestial Venerable's hand snapped in two.

Before the Immortal-Slaying Blade could advance any further, the Great Celestial Venerable had already produced a second weapon.

After changing weapons three times, the Great Celestial Venerable finally managed to block Su Mu's attack.

Immediately afterwards, a long sword appeared in the Great Celestial Venerable's hand again, and he launched a surprise attack.

Rumble!
A tremendous sound echoed in the air.

Two shadowy figures collided repeatedly in the air.

The surging energy continued to burst forth, crashing into trees and causing them to fall, and hitting mountains and causing landslides.

The power that was merely released was enough to kill and annihilate a Dao Origin Realm cultivator.

Fortunately.

With no one around, the two of them could act freely.

The Great Celestial Venerable truly lives up to his name.

He possessed a constant stream of divine weapons and magical artifacts.

Although no weapon could withstand a single blow from the Immortal-Slaying Blade, he managed to suppress its power by sheer numbers.

This is also the method that the Great Celestial Venerable has come up with after much thought these past few days to deal with the Immortal-Slaying Blade.

It must be said that this method is indeed effective.

Aside from the slightly higher cost, there are no other disadvantages.

Cost is not an issue for the Great Celestial Venerable.

The Great Celestial Venerable devoured the entire Saha World, and he himself is one of the best weapon-smiths in the world.

One weapon after another was cleaved in two by Su Mu's Immortal-Slaying Blade, and then casually discarded by the Great Celestial Venerable.

Those powerful weapons that would have been fiercely contested outside were now scattered all over the ground.

If someone could pick up one or two items, even a broken weapon, it would be enough to make them invincible in the region.

However, neither Su Mu nor the Great Celestial Venerable cares about these things right now.

The two have completely lost their temper.

Even Su Mu, who had slain a Dao Realm expert with his sword, had to admit that the Great Celestial Venerable was indeed very strong.

Moreover, the strength of the Great Celestial Venerable is different from that of the Xuanwu Protector.

The strength of Xuanwu, the guardian deity, was within people's expectations.

But the Great Celestial Venerable's strength is somewhat strange.

The Great Celestial Venerable's methods are unpredictable, sometimes righteous and sometimes evil.

Those bizarre and varied attack methods were a real headache even for Su Mu to deal with.

He thought he could easily suppress the Great Celestial Venerable with the Immortal-Slaying Blade, but unexpectedly, he was caught off guard by the Great Celestial Venerable's chaotic punches that seemed to kill his master.

Su Mu felt a bit amused and exasperated.

As a weapon forger, Su Mu always relied on his divine weapons to bully others.

Never thought about it.

Feng Shui turns.

He, Su Mu, will one day be bullied by others using divine weapons.

"Then let me see just how many weapons you have!"

With a fierce determination, Su Mu gripped the hilt of the Immortal-Slaying Blade with both hands and slashed horizontally several times, creating countless sharp and unparalleled blade shadows in the sky.

The battle lasted from sunrise to sunset, and then from sunset to sunrise.

The ground was covered with broken swords and daggers.

Finally, accompanied by a crisp sound.

The Immortal-Slaying Blade severed another weapon.

The Great Celestial Venerable reached out and grabbed at nothing.

When he realized that all his divine weapons and artifacts had been used up, his heart sank.

But he was, after all, a Great Celestial Venerable, and his reaction was extremely fast.

The ground beneath his feet exploded, and he was sent flying backward.

puff.

With a soft sound, the blade of the Immortal-Slaying Blade landed smoothly on his armor.

His meticulously crafted armor was as fragile as paper under the Immortal-Slaying Blade, and was torn apart instantly.

Even though he was desperately trying to retreat, the Immortal-Slaying Blade still left a shocking wound on the Great Celestial Venerable's chest.

If the Great Celestial Venerable had reacted even slightly slower, he would have already been disemboweled by the Immortal-Slaying Blade.

Even so, by the time the Great Celestial Venerable stopped, his chest was already a bloody mess.

He looked at the wounds on his body, then looked up at Su Mu, who stood with his sword drawn, his face extremely gloomy.

"Very good, I never expected you could push me to this extent!"

The Great Celestial Venerable said coldly.

"I never expected you to persevere until now."

Su Mu said calmly, adjusting his breathing to recover his excessive energy.

Even when fighting the Xuanwu Guardian, Su Mu had never struggled this much.

Of course, when he fought against the Xuanwu Guardian, he borrowed the power of the Yanfu Secret Realm.

Even so, the fact that the Great Celestial Venerable could fight him to this extent was beyond his expectations.

It should be noted that the Great Celestial Venerable's cultivation was flawed, and he possessed the Spiritual Treasure Immortal-Slaying Blade.

If Su Mu hadn't seized a wisp of chaotic energy from the Great Celestial Venerable back then, he might not have been able to defeat the Great Celestial Venerable now, even with the Spirit Treasure Immortal-Slaying Blade.

The Great Celestial Venerable was indeed the most talented and powerful person he had ever met in his life.

"Great Heavenly Venerable, I admire you."

However, I will still kill you today.

Su Mu said in a deep voice, slowly raising the Immortal-Slaying Blade.

At this point, there was absolutely no room for maneuver between the two of them.

"What a coincidence, I thought so too."

The Great Celestial Venerable's eyes burned with raging fury.

Driven to this point by a junior, he completely lost his mind.

"This move was originally intended to deal with the powerful beings of the Great Thousand World. Even though my arm was severed by the Xuanwu Protector last time, I did not use this move."

Because I feel he is unworthy.

The Great Celestial Venerable said coldly, "But you, Su Mu, are worth me using this move on."

The Great Celestial Venerable slowly raised his arms and stretched them out.

In an instant, a ball of light appeared behind him.

Beneath the ball of light, there was a faint bubble, and within the bubble was a small world.

That little world seemed to have just been created, with mountains, rivers, flowers, and trees still undergoing dramatic changes, as if countless flowers had bloomed and withered in the blink of an eye.

As bubbles appeared behind the Great Celestial Venerable, his aura began to rise once again.

boom!
boom!
boom!
In just a few breaths, the aura emanating from the Great Celestial Venerable had already surpassed that of the Xuanwu Protector from back then.

Su Mu narrowed his eyes slightly; he had once borrowed the power of the Yanfu Secret Realm.

There are also Primordial Remains in the Yanfu Secret Realm. Su Mu had even reached the threshold of the Primordial Realm at that time.

Now that the Primordial Remains and the Yama Realm are gone, Su Mu no longer possesses power comparable to the Primordial Realm, but the insight he cultivated back then remains.

He could tell that the aura emanating from the Great Celestial Venerable was already approaching the Primordial Realm.

Logically speaking, the Great Celestial Venerable has only recently broken through to the Dao Extreme Realm, and at most is considered to be at the initial stage of the Dao Extreme Realm, still a long way from the Primordial Realm.

The aura emanating from him has even reached the high level of the Primordial Realm.

This incredible thing, however, seems so reasonable when applied to the Great Celestial Venerable.

As an opponent, Su Mu was well aware of how terrifying the Great Celestial Venerable was.

He felt he could accept anything that happened to the Celestial Venerable.

However, facing a high-level Dao Realm expert without the Yanfu Secret Realm by his side was somewhat troublesome for him.

Grasping the Immortal-Slaying Blade, Su Mu slowly circulated the power within his body.

The only thing he can rely on now is the Immortal-Slaying Blade.

"The Immortal-Slaying Blade, let's test our limits and see where we are."

Su Mu muttered to himself.

The Immortal-Slaying Blade trembled slightly, and Su Mu felt a surge of excitement.

Previous opponents were all too weak for the Immortal-Slaying Blade.

The current Great Celestial Venerable has fully ignited the fighting spirit of the Immortal-Slaying Blade.

Su Mu laughed heartily, a strong fighting spirit surging within him.

After years of grudges, it's time to settle things in this battle!

The two of them let out a long howl at the same time.

The next moment, the two rushed forward at the same time.

Boom!

The two forces collided, producing a deafening sound.

In an instant, it seemed as if the world was about to be destroyed.

The explosion lasted for a full hour.

After the sound of the explosion gradually faded away, two figures reappeared in the air.

Su Mu leaned on the ground with his knife, describing his disheveled state.

His clothes were torn to shreds, and his exposed skin was covered in wounds, with bone faintly visible in the wounds. There was even a deep wound on his chest through which his pulsating internal organs could be seen.

Opposite him, the Great Celestial Venerable knelt on one knee, and looked much better than Su Mu. He didn't have many wounds, but he did look somewhat overworked.

The Great Celestial Venerable raised his head, his expression surprisingly calm, though a hint of resentment still lingered deep in his eyes.

He had already used his final killing move, but Su Mu was still alive.

He is now too weak to fight.

If Su Mu can still wield his sword, then he has completely lost today.

Now it's a matter of who can recover their strength sooner.

Even though the Great Celestial Venerable recovered his strength first after the battle had gone this far, he still felt that he had lost.

When fighting a junior, the Great Celestial Venerable should have won easily.

Now, however, both sides are suffering losses.

Just then, the Great Celestial Venerable's pupils suddenly contracted, and he actually saw Su Mu slowly straighten up.

Su Mu still has strength? (End of Chapter)
