The First Marquis of Daxuan

Su Mu really took the warden to the Yin Yin point of the Heavenly Realm.

Even the warden hadn't expected Su Mu to have this ability.

He felt somewhat helpless.

His companions were all too confident, too confident to believe that anyone could infiltrate the heavens.

So they lack even the most basic vigilance.

But you can't really blame them.

After all, they keep an eye on the entrance every time the Heavenly Realm opens, and anyone who enters the Heavenly Realm will be arrested and imprisoned.

Under normal circumstances, prisoners with only the initial cultivation level would have no chance of escaping from prison.

Who would have thought that one day a Primordial Realm expert would be imprisoned by them?
However, this Primordial Realm is not an ordinary Primordial Realm.

As they stealthily made their way here, the warden wanted to issue a warning several times.

However, Su Mu's power completely sealed him off, leaving him without even the right to issue a warning.

Looking at the Yin-Yang Point, which was ten miles in diameter and shrouded in dense black energy like a black hole, the warden couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

He had been here before, and as soon as they got close to the negative point, the dense black energy would invade their strength and bodies.

Even those at the Primordial Realm level couldn't withstand the invasion of that black energy.

Just like the anode, prolonged contact with this power will cause even a Primordial Realm expert to perish.

This is not an exaggeration; they have actually tried it.

Back when the Celestials split into two factions, they used prisoners for live human experiments.

They discovered at that time that the source could dissolve these forces.

Simply put, the anode and cathode points are like being covered by a layer of highly toxic snow, while the source is like boiling water.

Pouring the essence onto the snow will melt it.

In theory, if enough water is poured on the snow, it can make the snow disappear completely.

This is what the celestial beings in the heavens have been doing all these years.

According to the warden, they had already melted one-third of the snow at the anode point using their own energy.

They ignored the cathode point because it was of no value.

The power at the cathode point is now very strong.

Even from dozens of miles away, Su Mu could already feel the oppressive atmosphere in the air.

He raised his hand and grabbed a wisp of black mist.

The black energy twisted and struggled in his palm, and a sharp roar could be heard.

A needle-like sensation came from his palm. Su Mu felt as if the power within him had been contaminated, and he was starting to lose control.

Su Mu was somewhat shocked.

With his current strength, even if he stands still, a Tai Chu Realm expert might not be able to hurt his skin.

However, his skin was injured when exposed to this black mist.

If even he reacted this way, one can only imagine what the consequences would be for other martial artists.

However, Su Mu was prepared for this situation.

He grabbed the warden and patted him on the back.

For an instant.

The warden felt a force being drawn from his body, and a sense of weakness immediately overwhelmed him.

He glared at Su Mu with wide eyes.

This was the only thing he could do.

As his source of power was continuously extracted, he was constantly in a state of weakness.

Once he regained a little strength, he had to seize every second to breathe and catch his breath.

Otherwise, he was really worried that one day he would be drained of his life force and die.

That kind of death was just too gruesome.

There won't even be a chance to be resurrected.

Su Mu held a ball of primordial energy in his hand. With a thought, the primordial energy dispersed, forming a thin barrier that enveloped him and the warden.

Su Mu strode forward, and the black mist surged toward him like piranhas that had smelled blood.

When they touched that primordial barrier, they sizzled and popped as if they were being fried in oil.

The black mist and the source began to disappear simultaneously.

Su Mu found it fascinating.

The source can indeed withstand the power of the cathode point.

However, the rate at which it is consumed is quite fast.

He silently made a calculation in his mind.

At this rate of consumption, even the entire essence of a Primordial Realm expert would probably only last for an hour.

No wonder the celestial beings of the heavens have spent so many years only managing to dissolve one-third of the power of the Yang point.

Having confirmed that the source was indeed useful, Su Mu no longer hesitated. His figure transformed into a stream of light and plunged directly into the anode point.

The warden had already cursed Su Mu's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

However, he was merely a prisoner and had no power to resist whatsoever.

Only now has he finally come to understand the psychology of the prisoners in jail.

Being imprisoned and having one's life essence extracted, with no hope, is such a tragic thing.

Two streams of hot tears flowed down his cheeks.

…………

Knowing the danger of the cathode point, Su Mu held nothing back and unleashed his full speed.

Yan Liu and the others were a bit of a burden, so Su Mu transferred them all into his inner universe, letting them stay with Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gong Liu, Yuan Huaizhou, and the others.

Since they're all people who've ventured into the heavens, they should have something in common.

After entering the cathode point, Su Mu completely lost his sight.

All around was a seemingly endless darkness.

There was no sense of up or down, or even any sense of time.

Su Mu could only fly forward by relying on his senses.

The body's natural resources are rapidly diminishing.

Su Mu patted the warden on the back again, extracted a wisp of essence, and added it to the protective shield.

The warden rolled his eyes.

They flew for an unknown amount of time in this place where there was no front, back, left, right, up, down, or any direction, and even time had lost its meaning.

The surrounding blackness remained unchanged; if Su Mu hadn't possessed an extremely strong will, he probably would have already collapsed.

This is more terrifying than the cruelest torture in the world.

Darkness, darkness everywhere.

A darkness that breeds despair.

It seemed as if they had no energy.

Su Mu continued to extract the warden's life force, and the warden's face had lost all color; he had even fainted.

Su Mu could sense that the power of darkness was growing stronger and stronger, and the rate at which his source energy was being consumed was also increasing.

He had originally expected the warden to last an hour, but now it seemed unlikely he could even last half an hour.

A sharp glint flashed in his pupils.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mu directly extracted all of the warden's essence.

In an instant, the warden's body became transparent, and with a soft sound, his body began to disintegrate.

A few breaths later, the warden vanished completely from the world, as if he had never existed. Even the traces of his existence in the river of time disappeared without a trace.

Once the source is destroyed, he is essentially no longer existing.

Just as Su Mu extracted all of the warden's essence.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace in the Heavenly Realm, a figure sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes.

Two beams of light shot from the man's pupils, seemingly tangible, as if they could see millions of miles away.

Without him making any move, his figure had already disappeared.

Almost simultaneously, he appeared in the warden's prison.

boom!
With a flick of his sleeve, the entire prison was instantly razed to the ground.

"The warden is dead, and the source has completely dissipated. Who did it?"

Did Huang Tiandao's men infiltrate the area?

The Heavenly Emperor frowned slightly, and the next moment, a cold smile flashed across his face.

"You've come at the perfect time; I was just worried about not having enough source energy."

In an instant, a powerful divine sense, radiating visible fluctuations, spread outwards.

The Heavenly Emperor's divine will was so powerful that it directly enveloped the entire Heavenly Realm.

Then he frowned again.

"No? They came and then ran away?"

The Heavenly Emperor muttered to himself, "A bunch of cowardly rats, all they know is how to hide?"

He appeared at the cathode point as if he had teleported.

Su Mu was able to guess that this was the passage through which Huang Tiandao escaped, so the Heavenly Emperor certainly couldn't have been unaware of it.

He knew perfectly well that this was the passage through which Huang Tiandao escaped from the Heavenly Realm, yet he never did anything to it, and there was a reason for that.

"I have obtained the power of Yang Tianjun. If I rashly enter the Yin Yin point, unpredictable things will happen."

The corpse of Yin Tianjun is gone, but his power remains here; Yin and Yang are incompatible—”

The Heavenly Emperor thought to himself, "Hmph, I'll let you be arrogant for a while longer. Once I'm free to do more, you'll all die!"

The Heavenly Emperor stared at the Yin Yin point, his expression shifting constantly.

A moment later, the Heavenly Emperor's figure vanished into thin air.

…………

In the void beyond the celestial realm.

Dozens of warships were moored in an empty place.

Not a single star can be seen within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles there. Only boundless, endless darkness.

The thirty-six leaders of Huang Tiandao's Heavenly Gang were gathered together.

They did not stay on the warship, but stood in the void.

“Brother, we were able to escape from here back then, so logically we should be able to fight our way back.”

One of the people who spoke up was none other than Xia Zhizun, a Primordial Realm expert who had once fought against Su Mu.

"It's not that simple."

A middle-aged man shook his head and said with a solemn expression, "Have you ever thought that the blood shed from that corpse at the Yang point was enough to transform us into celestial beings?"

Logically, there should also be a similar corpse at the cathode point, so why isn't there one?

"Someone took it."

Xia Zhizun said, "Isn't that bastard Heavenly Emperor just trying to take away the corpse at the Yangyang point?"
He just hasn't succeeded yet.

"If someone really obtained the corpse of the Cathode Point, how powerful would they have to be?"
Even the Heavenly Emperor might not be a match for him.

One of the leaders of the Yellow Heaven Path Heavenly Gang pondered for a moment and said.

"Actually, I suspect that the corpse at the cathode point may not have died; it may have left on its own."

The middle-aged man said.

He is the chief leader of Huang Tiandao, and his name is Zhang Jiao.

He is also the strongest among all the Heavenly Gang leaders of Huang Tiandao, a high-level Primordial Realm expert!
Among the celestial beings, his strength is second only to the current Heavenly Emperor.

If he hadn't risked serious injury to stop the Heavenly Emperor's massacre back then, Huang Tiandao wouldn't exist today.

"Still alive?"

The leaders of Huang Tiandao's Heavenly Gang all showed expressions of shock.

"That can't be, right?"

One of the Heavenly Gang leaders said, "I wonder what level the corpse at the Yang Yang point has reached. If there really is a similar existence at the Yin Yin point, its strength should be no less than that."

If he were still alive, why have we never heard of such a powerful person in the world?

The corpse at the anode point was more powerful than imagined; their current achievements were due to the sheer amount of blood they possessed.

If the other party were still alive, it would be unimaginable.

"I do not know."

Zhang Jiao shook his head and said, "We don't even know who they are. Everything we're talking about right now is just speculation."

I think that even if the Yin-Cathode Point is still alive, something must have gone wrong, otherwise the Celestial Realm wouldn't have been completely empty when we first discovered it.

Over the years, the Heavenly Emperor and his followers have acted recklessly in the Heavenly Realm, yet that being has never appeared.

I suspect that even if he is still alive, he is either seriously injured or has lost his memory.

If we can find him, then perhaps we will have the means to contend with the Heavenly Emperor.

Huang Tiandao and the other leaders of the Heavenly Gang looked at each other in bewilderment.

"We don't even know if this person exists, so how can we find him?"

The leaders of the Heavenly Gang asked a question.

“I have been studying this cathode point for years.”

Zhang Jiao said, "I've gained some insights."

Back then, the Heavenly Emperor referred to that corpse as Yang Tianjun, and I suspect that the Heavenly Emperor knew something about it.

Let's follow his explanation and call the existence of the Yin-Yang point "Yin-Tian-Jun".

If this Yin Tianjun is still alive, he will definitely resonate with the power of this Yin Yin point.

I have crafted a magical artifact.

Zhang Jiao took out a compass-like object with his other hand.

A black mist, like a small snake, slithered and moved about on the compass.

"It will react as long as Yin Tianjun is nearby."

Zhang Jiao continued, "From now on, while we are collecting the source, we must also search for the traces of Yin Tianjun!"

The Heavenly Emperor and his allies used the Heavenly Realm to lure people into their trap, while Huang Tiandao took the initiative to attack and kill people in all directions. Their purpose was actually to obtain the origin.

Only the original source can dissolve the power of Yin and Yang in the celestial realm, allowing them to obtain the corpse of Yang Tianjun.

…………

Sizzle.

The warden's true nature was finally completely corrupted.

The black mist instantly landed on Su Mu.

A stinging sensation spread across his skin, and Su Mu frowned, instinctively reaching for his source energy to defend himself.

He had considered that the warden's power might not be enough to sustain his escape, but he never expected this moment to come so quickly.

He secretly considered that if all else failed, he would have to rely on Yan Liu and his group in his microcosm.

Let each of them contribute a little of their essence; with many hands making light work, perhaps they can escape.

Otherwise, if he were to rely solely on himself, even if he managed to escape, he would be severely weakened.

Just at this time.

Su Mu's expression suddenly froze.

The next moment, he actually withdrew his source energy, allowing the black mist to invade his body.

He even opened his arms, welcoming the black mist in an embracing gesture!

From a perspective that only he can see.

On the system panel in front of him, his points were increasing rapidly.

One thousand, two thousand...

Ten thousand, twenty thousand...

100,000, 1 million, 10 million...

His importance to the points is self-evident, and they are jumping up every second.

In just a few breaths, the points on the system panel had reached a staggering one billion.

And this number is still climbing.

Those black mists could actually be converted into points by the system panel!
Su Mu felt as if his body had become a conduit, one end connected to the black mist and the other to the system panel.

After being filtered through his body, the black mist turned into points on the system panel.

However, this filtering process is a bit painful.

His body felt as if it had been torn apart by a thousand knives. Black mist passed through his body, and every cell in his body was enduring that corrosive power.

Every moment felt like countless tiny knives were scraping at every cell in his body.

The pain was so intense that Su Mu couldn't help but scream out.

Fortunately, there was no one in the cathode area, so no matter how loudly he shouted, no one would hear him.

Watching the points steadily climb on the system panel, Su Mu unleashed the strongest willpower he had ever shown.

So what if it's painful?
He can endure any pain as long as there is a reward!

As long as I don't die, I'll absorb as much as possible!
Su Mu gritted his teeth and persevered, and the points on the system panel continued to climb, breaking one previous limit after another.

at last.

Su Mu felt that his body had reached its limit.

The system panel hadn't reached its limit yet, but he himself was already almost at his breaking point.

If this continues, his body will break down.

His body, forged through countless trials and tribulations and incredibly powerful, now appears so fragile.

No matter how reluctant Su Mu was, he had no choice but to make a decision.

"Derive the deduction for me!"

He gritted his teeth and threw his points into the realm.

He had previously deduced the martial arts techniques of the Primordial Realm on his own, and now he is continuing to deduce them.

The astronomical number of points was consumed rapidly.

Su Mu actually closed his eyes.

The body, which was already riddled with holes, began to repair and change.

After its body was repaired and altered, it was once again invaded and damaged by the black mist.

At the same time, the points on the system panel are being consumed while simultaneously increasing.

It's like a pool of water, with water flowing in on one side and flowing out on the other.

These two elements have achieved a strange balance.

Time slips away bit by bit.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Su Mu finally opened his eyes, his gaze filled with madness.

puff!
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his eyes regained a little clarity for the time being.

He dared not delay any longer and scrambled away as fast as he could.

He has reached his absolute limit.

Even with the system panel helping him improve his cultivation, his willpower was already on the verge of collapse.

This black fog is terrifying. If he doesn't leave soon, he might really die here.

Even with the surge in points on the system panel, he had already raised his cultivation level to the advanced stage of the Primordial Realm.

"I have enough points now to last me a while. If all else fails, I can always come back later."

Su Mu thought to himself, unleashing an unprecedented speed that even stirred up a storm within the Yin-Yang point.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Just when Su Mu was about to give up, he finally broke out of that endless darkness.

Suddenly, everything brightened up, and the pervasive sense of oppression vanished instantly, replaced by an indescribable sense of ease.

Su Mu couldn't help but take a deep breath, his face showing an expression of relief at surviving a disaster.

The next moment, he was met with a group of bewildered faces.

Zhang Jiao glanced at Su Mu, then looked down at the compass in his hand, repeating this motion over and over, his face filled with disbelief. (End of Chapter)
