The First Marquis of Daxuan

Rumble.

The heavens shook violently, as if an earthquake had struck.

A muffled thunderous sound echoed in everyone's ears.

The celestial beings of the Heavenly Realm, the people of Huangtiandao, Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chimingtang, Qian Gong Liu, and others all subconsciously looked in the direction from which the sound came.

This glance was not a big deal.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

At the entrance to the Celestial Realm, enormous Void Beasts were crowding together, frantically rushing into the Celestial Realm.

Behind them, countless Void Beasts followed closely.

The entire celestial realm was being battered by the Void Beasts, and the spatial barriers emitted cracking sounds like shattering glass.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Even the celestial beings of the heavens felt a chill run through them upon seeing so many void beasts.

One or two Void Dark Beasts, even those at the Primordial Realm, are not to be feared.

But now, the number of Void Beasts appearing before them is countless.

With so many Void Beasts, even if a Celestial Being were trapped, they would only die from exhaustion.

"The Heavenly Emperor! The Heavenly Emperor has returned!"

A celestial being from the heavens cried out in a trembling voice, "He can actually control the Void Beast!"

"Is this his backup plan?"

Zhang Jiao's face was deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with terror.

"I didn't expect that he even raised the Void Beasts. This is going to be troublesome."

Ever since Su Mu told them to wait, they had been wondering what kind of tricks the Heavenly Emperor had up his sleeve.

They suspected that the Heavenly Emperor had secretly trained a group of experts.

But they never imagined that the Void Beasts in the universe would obey the Heavenly Emperor's orders!
When Huang Tiandao traveled through the universe, what he feared most was not the powerful beings on various planets, but these void beasts.

The Void Beasts lurk in the void, and could appear at any moment.

Moreover, there are many powerful beings among the Void Beasts.

However, the Void Beast has one major weakness.

That is, their intelligence does not increase with the improvement of their cultivation level.

Even Void Dark Beasts with Primordial Realm strength retain their ferocious and bloodthirsty instincts and do not use their brains to think.

They are a group of creatures that rely on instinct to survive.

Who would have thought that this creature was raised by the Heavenly Emperor?

The Void Beasts have existed for even longer than the Celestial Realm.

No one ever imagined that they would be related to the celestial realm, let alone that the Void Beasts scattered throughout the darkness of the universe would be domesticated.

No matter how much they may not believe it deep down, the facts are undeniable.

The Void Beasts began their assault on the Celestial Realm.

"Gentlemen, this is not the time to think about these things. We must not allow the Void Beasts to invade the Celestial Realm, or we will all die without a burial place!"

Zhao Baiqi said in a deep voice.

They had little contact with the Heavenly Emperor, and no matter how terrifying the Heavenly Emperor was, he was just an enemy in their eyes.

On their journey from their respective homelands to the Celestial Realm, they had fought countless battles with the Void Beasts, and they knew very well the consequences of letting the Void Beasts intrude into the Celestial Realm.

"Everyone, make your move!"

With a roar, Qian Gong Liu charged ahead towards the entrance to the Heavenly Realm.

Now that they are inside the Celestial Realm, as long as they can block the entrance, they can rely on the Celestial Realm to fight.

If they can't stop it, once the Void Beasts break into the Celestial Realm, they will have no way to defend themselves, and they will really be doomed.

The celestial beings of the Heavenly Realm and Zhang Jiao, Xia Zhizun, and other celestial beings of the Yellow Heavenly Path also realized what was happening at this moment.

They all attacked the void beasts.

While making his move, Zhang Jiao didn't forget to look around.

He didn't see Su Mu's figure, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

With such a commotion, Su Mu should have been able to notice it.

Since Su Mu noticed it, why didn't he show himself?

Now, they all follow Su Mu, and Su Mu is their leader.

Based on Su Mu's past behavior, he should have appeared as soon as he heard any noise.

Where has he gone now?
A strong sense of unease suddenly welled up in Zhang Jiao's heart.

Without Su Mu, could they possibly stop these Void Beasts?

Despite the changing thoughts in his mind, Zhang Jiao's actions were without the slightest hesitation.

Swish!
He cleaved a Void Beast in two with a single stroke, its ink-black blood spraying down, emitting a pungent stench.

Apart from Zhang Jiao, the celestial beings from the Heavenly Realm and the Huangtiandao people also held nothing back.

For an instant.

Both sides crowded at the entrance to the celestial realm and engaged in a fierce battle with the void beasts.

On one side are celestial beings and elites from all walks of life; on the other side are the Void Dark Beasts under the command of the Heavenly Emperor.

Both are among the strongest in this universe.

The battle was a fight to the death from the very beginning.

The Celestials are powerful, but the Void Beasts are not weak either.

Moreover, the number of Void Beasts is countless. They fearlessly pounce upwards, and even if their life force has been cut off, they will still use their last bit of strength to bite their opponent.

In just a short time, the entrance to the Heavenly Realm was piled high with corpses.

Most of these corpses belonged to Void Dark Beasts, but there were also Celestials and martial artists who had followed Su Mu all the way to the Celestial Realm.

Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gongliu, and others were covered in blood.

Their strength was far inferior to that of the Celestials, and they retreated continuously in the face of the endless stream of Void Beasts.

Where is Su Muren?

Qian Gong Liu forced back a Void Beast with a single punch and roared, "If he doesn't come soon, we'll all die here today!"

Damn it, he didn't die on the Heavenly Road, but died in the Heavenly Realm instead?

Who said that reaching the Heavenly Realm grants immortality?

Is this immortality?

"Wouldn't that just get him killed even faster?"

"If you have the energy to curse, you should save it to kill a few more Void Beasts."

Zhao Baiqi said irritably.

Fortunately, the entrance to the celestial realm wasn't that large, so they only faced this many void beasts for the time being.

If the Celestial Realm is breached, the Void Beasts will relentlessly attack from all directions, and they probably won't be able to hold on any longer.

Even so, their situation is precarious.

Zhang Jiao noticed their danger, and in a flash, he used his power to take over most of the Void Dark Beasts.

Zhang Jiao knew that these people were all Su Mu's direct subordinates. If he watched Zhao Baiqi and the others die at the hands of the Void Dark Beasts, he would have no way to explain it to Su Mu in the future.

Outside the entrance to the Celestial Realm.

A figure stood with his hands behind his back in the void. Who else could it be but the Heavenly Emperor?

The Heavenly Emperor watched the battle unfold before him with a cold smile on his face.

These ants are merely making a death throes.

But why didn't that kid named Su Mu show up last time?

Then Su Mu is the real opponent.

Could it be that he is trying to absorb the power of Yang Tianjun?

That's so childish!

The Heavenly Emperor sneered inwardly, "The Heavenly Realm is only so big. Let's see how long you can endure this."

"If you make a move, these Void Beasts can take your life."

…………

Unbeknownst to the Heavenly Emperor, Su Mu, whom he claimed could be defeated by the Void Beast, was currently sitting cross-legged at the Yang point of the Heavenly Realm.

His aura fluctuated wildly, sometimes soaring to the heavens, and sometimes sinking to the depths of the water.

Sometimes, he doesn't emit any aura at all, just like a dead person.

Sometimes, his aura would become so powerful that it seemed as if it would pierce through the sky of the heavens.

He became somewhat ethereal and uncertain.

Sometimes it looks like the ocean, sometimes like a mountain, and sometimes like the deep sky.

It is unknown how long this change lasted.

Suddenly, the violent aura receded like a tide.

Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of light in his pupils.

He seemed to have returned to his original simplicity, with no trace of the aura of a powerful figure remaining on his body.

On the surface, Su Mu looked even more like a corpse than the enormous body in front of him.

If someone were to pass by here, they would probably doubt their own eyes.

Although their eyes clearly saw Su Mu there, their senses couldn't detect anyone's presence at all.

He seemed to have completely merged with the celestial realm.

"Having incorporated numerous celestial techniques, what should I call my own technique?"

Su Mu looked thoughtful and murmured, "How about calling it the Great Celestial Immortal Scripture?"

After two thousand years, he finally mastered the techniques he had learned from Huang Tiandao and his followers, and then developed a technique that was entirely his own.

This technique starts from the Primordial Realm and then breaks through to the Primordial Realm.

"The realm above the primordial beginning is called sainthood; this realm may be called the Daoist scripture."

Su Mu stood up, and the air around him exploded with a loud crackling sound as he did so.

Su Mu stretched his limbs slightly, and the air seemed to be compressed.

His physique and speed have reached unimaginable levels. To exaggerate a bit, by the time someone sees him raise his hand, he may have already finished off his opponent.

Actions that transcend time can naturally also transcend sight.

This is the Dao Saint Realm, which is above the Primordial Realm.

Above the saints are the ancestors.

Yang Tianjun and Yin Tianjun are both at the Dao Ancestor Realm.

After crossing this threshold, Su Mu realized just how powerful Yang Tianjun and Yin Tianjun were.

No wonder, given his previous cultivation level, he couldn't even destroy Yang Tianjun's corpse.

Yang Tianjun's realm is two whole major realms higher than his previous one.

This is what a true top-tier expert is like.

"Heavenly Emperor..."

Su Mu's lips curled up slightly.

He now finally knows the true origin of the Heavenly Emperor.

"No wonder you know so much about the celestial realm."

No wonder you're so confident that no one can take away Yang Tianjun's power.

So, you are Yang Tianjun.

Su Mu muttered to himself.

He looked up in the direction of the entrance to the celestial realm.

The battle there naturally did not escape his perception.

The reason he didn't rush to make a move was because he was getting familiar with his own power.

Now that you are fully familiar with your own power, it's time to make your move.

His figure swayed slightly.

Su Mu has already appeared on the battlefield.

He rose into the air, slowly raised his right hand, and gently snapped his fingers.

hum!
Time seemed to stand still.

The next moment, a visible force rapidly rippled through the air, sweeping across the void like waves.

Wherever that power passed, all the Void Beasts instantly shattered and turned into dust.

The celestial beings of the Heavenly Realm, the people of Huangtiandao, Zhao Baiqi, and others were all unharmed.

After a few breaths.

The entrance to the Celestial Realm was now completely empty, with not a single Void Beast remaining.

Ten miles away, countless Void Beasts lingered, their eyes filled with fear, yet not one dared to step forward.

The Heavenly Emperor, who had been standing confidently in the void, froze on the spot, his expression turning into disbelief.

"This is impossible!"

He clearly uttered four words in his eyes.

If others can't see it, how could he not?
Su Mu, has become a saint?

How is this possible?
How could he possibly do that?
If he couldn't still sense that Yang Tianjun's corpse was still there, he would even suspect that Su Mu had already seized Yang Tianjun's power.

The celestial beings of the Heavenly Realm, Zhang Jiao and Xia Zhizun of the Yellow Heavenly Path, as well as Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gong Liu and others, all stood there dumbfounded.

They should have been cheering and celebrating, but now, everyone was too shocked to utter a word.

With a snap of his fingers, the Void Beast turned to ashes?
How was this done?
Even Zhang Jiao, whose cultivation had reached the high level of the Primordial Realm, could not understand how Su Mu had done it.

This is definitely not the power of the Primordial Realm!
Even someone at the peak of the Primordial Realm could never achieve this.

There are many Primordial Realm beings among those Void Beasts.

Could it be that—

Although Zhang Jiao didn't know what becoming a saint meant, he guessed the truth.

Su Mu's cultivation level has probably broken through again, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to eliminate so many Void Beasts so calmly.

Why did I use the word "again"?

Zhang Jiao muttered to himself.

He felt numb.

It seems that Su Mu's breakthrough in strength is a perfectly normal thing and there is no need to be surprised at all.

but--

What kind of scenery is there above the Primordial Realm?

Zhang Jiao couldn't help but show envy in his eyes.

He hasn't even reached the peak of the Primordial Realm yet, while Su Mu has already surpassed him.

Although he was convinced that Su Mu was Yin Tianjun, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness when he saw this scene with his own eyes.

But the next moment he became a little excited.

Su Mu's strength has surpassed the Primordial Realm, so wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to deal with the Heavenly Emperor?

Even if the Heavenly Emperor controlled the Void Beasts in the universe, it wouldn't make a difference.

In the face of absolute power, numbers are insignificant.

"Heavenly Emperor, your end has come!"

Zhang Jiao looked at the Heavenly Emperor in the distance, and his fists hardened involuntarily.

At this moment, Su Mu took a step and appeared outside the Heavenly Realm, standing ten miles away from the Heavenly Emperor.

Ten miles is exactly his attack range.

If we get any closer, the Heavenly Emperor will probably flee at the mere sight of us.

Su Mu did not want to go to the trouble of chasing the Heavenly Emperor, because he knew that the Heavenly Emperor's origins were extraordinary, and killing the Heavenly Emperor was not as simple as Zhang Jiao and the others thought.

"The Heavenly Emperor."

Su Mu slowly began, "Shall we talk?"

"who are you?"

The Heavenly Emperor stared at Su Mu for a long while before slowly speaking.

"You do not know?"

Su Mu said with a half-smile.

"Zhang Jiao and the others thought you were Yin Tianjun, but I know you aren't."

You should know yourself that you are not.

The Heavenly Emperor said coldly, "But you are not an ordinary person either."

Ordinary people can never become saints!

"You're wrong. Even gods were made from mortals, and saints were just ordinary people in the beginning."

However, after becoming a saint, one is no longer an ordinary person.

Su Mu said calmly, "Oh, I almost forgot, you have an innate spiritual root, so you've never been an ordinary person."

"Answer me, who are you?"

The Heavenly Emperor snorted coldly, stared at Su Mu, and pressed for an answer.

"Of course I am not the Yin Heavenly Lord, because the Yang Heavenly Lord, the Yin Heavenly Lord, and the Heavenly Emperor are all the same person."

"The ability to transform one breath into three pure ones is indeed a good technique."

Su Mu exclaimed, "As for me, I am indeed just an ordinary person in your eyes."

"I am Su Mu, not some reincarnation of a powerful being."

“Su Mu”.

The Heavenly Emperor's pupils contracted, but he did not deny Su Mu's statement.

Within the celestial realm, Zhang Jiao, Xia Zhizun, and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

Is the Heavenly Emperor the Lord of Yang Heaven or the Lord of Yin Heaven?

If the Heavenly Emperor is Yang Tianjun, then what about that corpse in the Heavenly Realm?

Why would the Heavenly Emperor go to such lengths to obtain his own corpse?

Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor couldn't even retrieve his own corpse?
Also, what does Su Mu mean by "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones"?
"Big brother, did you hear that? Su Mu said he's not Yin Tianjun?"

Xia Zhizun nudged Zhang Jiao's shoulder and whispered.

“I heard it. I also heard him say that the Heavenly Emperor is both the Yang Heavenly Lord and the Yin Heavenly Lord.”

Zhang Jiao said somewhat absentmindedly, "I still can't understand how the Heavenly Emperor, the Yin Heavenly Lord, and the Yang Heavenly Lord could be the same person."
"No, brother, have you thought about it? If Su Mu isn't Yin Tianjun, that would be even more terrifying."

Xia Zhizun whispered, "If he were Yin Tianjun, it wouldn't be surprising at all that he has his current strength. I even think he's too weak."

But if he weren't the Yin Tian Jun (a powerful figure in Chinese mythology), have you considered how terrifying that would be?

"Ok?"

Zhang Jiao turned to look at Xia Zhizun, then suddenly came to his senses.

Yes.

He was so focused on how terrifying the Heavenly Emperor was that he hadn't considered this aspect.

Is this a case of even the most foolish person finding something of value?
Even Xia Zhizun had thought of it, yet I hadn't even realized it!

If Su Mu wasn't Yin Tianjun, then he truly cultivated to his current level through his own abilities!
what does this mean?
Zhang Jiao knew very well that when he first met Su Mu, Su Mu's cultivation level was higher than his, but only by a limited margin.

Moreover, according to his understanding, Su Mu is only a little over a hundred years old.

Such a person has now broken through to the Primordial Realm. What kind of talent is this?
What are Yin Tianjun, Yang Tianjun, and Heavenly Emperor compared to Su Mu? They're all useless trash!

With such talent, does one's status still matter?
Even if Su Mu is not Yin Tianjun, he already possesses strength that is no less than any Tianjun.

Didn't you see that even the Heavenly Emperor was suppressed by him and dared not speak?

This means they followed the right person!
"It seems like we made the right bet."

Zhang Jiao murmured.

"I don't care what your background is."

Just then, the Heavenly Emperor stared intently at Su Mu and said coldly, "I don't care how you saw through my identity."

I only ask you, are you determined to block my path?
If you step aside now, I can pretend nothing happened and we can keep to ourselves.

But if you insist on blocking my path, then don't blame me for being ruthless! (End of Chapter)
