The First Marquis of Daxuan

A soft buzzing sound.

A curtain of light shot into the sky from the void.

A group of abyssal creatures crashed into the light barrier.

With a cracking sound, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the light screen, making it teeter on the verge of collapse.

But it persevered in the end.

The abyssal creatures, however, were bounced back.

Su Mu stood in the void, his expression calm.

He made hand gestures and shouted a clear voice.

hum.

The light screen, which was about to shatter, lit up again.

Luo Anning, Dongfang Liuyun, Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gongliu and others in the distance finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

It still has to be the Sumu.

With a single move, he actually managed to repel these abyssal creatures.

One man can hold the pass against ten thousand.

This is the demeanor of the strongest person in the world.

The abyssal creatures hesitated and retreated to the side of the star gate.

The stargate trembled, as if an even more powerful abyssal creature was about to arrive.

Fortunately.

The stargate trembled for a while, but no other creatures crossed over.

The group of abyssal creatures lay down in front of the star gate as if they had set up camp.

They simply gave up and completely ignored Su Mu and his group, who were a hundred miles away.

Luo Anning and the others turned their gazes to Su Mu, their faces showing indignation.

Even the Heavenly Emperor was defeated by them, yet now they're being forced into such a sorry state by a group of abyssal creatures?!
"Sect Master, should we gather our forces and launch a counterattack?"

Huo Tu shouted angrily.

These abyssal creatures are only relying on their numbers.

They may have more people, but that doesn't mean they only have this many people. They've all come strong this time.

The Great Xuan also has a million-strong army. These people are all prominent figures on their respective planets, and it is easy for them to raise an army of a million.

Zhao Baiqi, Chimingtang, Qian Gongliu... who among them doesn't have some influence under their command?
As long as Su Mu gives the order, they can return to their respective hometowns to recruit soldiers and horses!

They are not afraid of numbers at all.

If they don't get their revenge, how will they ever be able to survive in the universe again?

If these abyssal creatures were to attack, they might as well all find a block of tofu and smash their heads against it.

Even when our cultivation level was low, we didn't lose any territory. Now that we're about to dominate the universe, our territory is being taken over by others.
Absolutely impossible!

I absolutely cannot bear this!

"The stargate appeared suddenly, and the abyssal creatures were not prepared. They are probably gathering their forces now."

Su Mu slowly began to speak, “We are indeed short-handed.”

He turned to look at the crowd and continued, "Let's gather the men."

Liu Yun, mobilize all of Da Xuan's troops and establish a defensive line first.

Even if we can't force the abyssal creatures back into the stargate, we can't let them break out of the vicinity.

Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, and Qian Gong Liu.

"exist!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Return to your respective hometowns and gather all the warriors who can enter the void."

Tell them that if they answer the call, I can guarantee that their cultivation will improve by at least one major realm afterward.

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"Sect Master, what are you saying? Even if there are no benefits, they still have to come."

Zhao Baiqi said in a deep voice, "This is not just our own business, it's their business too."

If we cannot stop the abyssal creatures, the entire universe will be ravaged by them, and they will not be able to escape unscathed.
Even for their own lives, they had to fight against the creatures of the abyss.

"Yes."

Qian Gong Liu nodded and said, "Give me a few warships, and my Qian family's Ziwei Star can mobilize a million troops."

Those capable of entering the void must have a cultivation level of at least the Heavenly Profound Realm.

Such martial artists are rare on any planet.

However, if they had warships, they could bring even martial artists with slightly lower cultivation levels into the void.

Those warriors may not be able to survive independently in the void, but they can remain in the warships and control them to fight.

Just right.

Su Mu had a number of warships and a batch of spoils of war seized from Huang Tiandao.

These warships can now be put to good use.

Me too.

Huo Tu shouted, "In my hometown, I can command a great following."

A million-strong army is just a matter of a word from me.

"Sect Master, give me one hundred Heavenly Rank warships!"

A single celestial warship can easily accommodate ten thousand people.

"If we give you all the Heavenly-Rank warships, what will we do?"

Zhao Baiqi said irritably.

Heavenly-rank warships are priceless; even Su Mu doesn't have a hundred of them.

Besides, it's impossible to give all the Heavenly Rank warships to Huo Tu alone.

"We will have warships."

Su Mu said slowly, "Distribute the existing warships evenly among yourselves and get to work. Warships will be delivered to you later."

Before he finished speaking, Su Mu waved his hand, and the corpses of those abyssal creatures flew to him, piling up like a mountain.

With another wave of his hand, Su Mu engulfed the corpses of those abyssal creatures in flames.

Everyone suddenly realized.

Su Mu is the world's strongest weaponsmith, and he is also an expert in forging warships.

He intends to use the remains of these abyssal creatures to forge warships!

They were just saying that the remains of these abyssal creatures were useless, but now they're useful.

The members of the Eight Stars also stepped forward and asked Su Mu for a warship.

They are not combat personnel, but building warships is their specialty. Now that there is a shortage of warships, isn't this the perfect opportunity for them to put their skills to use?

Seeing this, Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gongliu and others no longer hesitated.

The creatures of the abyss could attack at any moment; they don't have much time.

See you later!

Huo Tu seized a warship first and spurred it to fly towards his hometown.

Qian Gong Liu snorted coldly and also seized a Heaven-rank warship. With a burst of power, the warship flew towards the direction of Ziwei Star.

They had previously commanded warships and fought against Huang Tiandao, so they were no strangers to warships.

Although only one person controls the warship now, it's perfectly fine for traveling.

Before long, warships roared out.

Even the people of the Great Xuan Dynasty were using warships to recruit soldiers.

soon.

Outside the Star Gate, only Su Mu and the others from the Eight Scenery Stars remained, still confronting the abyssal creatures.

The abyssal creatures were initially restless, but after seeing that Su Mu had not left, they lay back down.

In the eyes of these abyssal creatures, those who left were not worth fearing at all; the only truly terrifying person from beginning to end was Su Mu.

As long as Su Mu is still around, they will not dare to act rashly.

Those few are no match for Su Mu.

They are also waiting for reinforcements.

Like the calm before a storm, the starry sky suddenly fell silent.

A group of abyssal creatures lay sprawled before the stargate, emitting deep, snoring sounds.

A hundred miles away, clusters of flames burned fiercely, crackling softly.

Su Mu and the others from the Eight Scenery Stars are using the remains of abyssal creatures to forge warships.

Everything looked so peaceful, as if this scene would last forever.

Unlike the tranquility here.

The rest of the universe was in complete chaos.

First, the world underwent a great change, the concentration of spiritual energy increased dramatically, and the number of martial artists in all worlds surged.

Moreover, powerful individuals emerge one after another.

Then those powerful figures who had ventured into the heavenly realm suddenly returned and began recruiting soldiers and horses.

Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gongliu, and others were originally top experts in their respective worlds.

Their journey through the heavens back then was like ascending to heaven; it's already a legend.

Countless younger martial artists have regarded them as idols.

Now that they have returned alive, in the eyes of those younger martial artists, it is as if the powerful beings who have ascended to immortality have returned to them.

One call and a hundred responses.

Moreover, they also informed everyone about the Stargate and the abyssal creatures.

However, not everyone has a smooth journey.

On the Purple Star, Qian Gong Liu encountered obstacles.

"I've made it very clear: the creatures of the abyss are a threat to everyone. If they manage to cross the stargate, the entire universe will be reduced to scorched earth!"

Qian Gong Liu's face was gloomy as he looked at the crowd in front of him and said coldly.

Standing before him at this moment were the strongest group of people on Ziwei Star. Seventy percent of them were elders of the Qian family, and the other thirty percent were the leaders of various forces on Ziwei Star, all of whom were at the Yuanshi Realm.

Everything on Ziwei Star is decided by these people.

Even if Qian Gong Liu returned from the Heavenly Road, he would still be a junior in the Qian family.

Those elders of the Qian family included his grandfather and his father.

When his cultivation level was low, these elders were already elders of the Qian family. Whether in terms of seniority or cultivation, Qian Gongliu had no advantage.

Even though he was already at the high level of the Primordial Realm.

The rulers of these Ziwei Stars have cultivation levels ranging from the initial to the middle stages of the Primordial Realm. In a one-on-one fight, none of them are a match for Qian Gong Liu.

But when they unite, even Qian Gong Liu cannot act recklessly in front of them.

“Gong Liu, I know you have gone to the Heavenly Realm and seen the world, but you must understand that Ziwei Star is the foundation of us.”

"Just because of a few words from you, we're not going to hand over the sons of the Purple Star to you to die. That's impossible."

An elder of the Qian family said in a deep voice.

Even if what you're saying is true, so what?
My Ziwei Star is as solid as a rock. Even if that so-called Dao Saint Realm expert you mentioned attacks, they won't be able to run wild on my Ziwei Star.

And what about those abyssal creatures? What can they do to my Ziwei Star?

Another elder of the Qian family said.

"you--"

Qian Gong Liu was so angry that he trembled all over. He never expected that these elders of the Qian family would be so short-sighted!

They really underestimated Su Mu!
"Gong Liu, I heard you say that if a martial artist dies in this world, his power will return to the world, increasing the concentration of spiritual energy in the world."

If those abyssal creatures really did break out of that stargate—”

The head of the Qian family slowly spoke, “The reason why our cultivation is stuck at our current level is because of the limitation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.”

If the concentration of spiritual energy increases, breaking through to the high-level of the Primordial Realm, or even the Perfect Realm, will no longer be a problem for us.

The Qian family members and the leaders of other forces on Ziwei Star all nodded, their faces showing anticipation.

"You're like frogs in a well, completely unaware of how terrifying the creatures of the abyss are!"

Qian Gong Liu angrily said, "If the creatures from the abyss really come, how can Ziwei Star remain in a corner of the world?"
impossible!

Even if you want to improve your cultivation, you shouldn't resort to such despicable methods!

"mean?"

A mid-stage Primordial Realm expert shook his head and said, "We didn't kill anyone, so how can you talk about being despicable?"

I have seen the coordinates you mentioned, my dear nephew. That star gate is hundreds of millions of miles away from our Ziwei Star. Who knows when the abyssal creatures will be able to reach us?

It's not too late for us to send troops to conquer them once they appear before us.

Right now, I think my dear nephew should remain calm and patient.

Now that you've returned from the Heavenly Realm, you can tell us about your experiences along the way.

"You can't discuss ice with a summer insect!"

Qian Gong Liu flicked his sleeves and said, "Since you are unwilling, then so be it. I will lead my troops there myself."

"Your headquarters troops? Your headquarters troops are all my Qian family's sons too."

The head of the Qian family said coldly, "Gong Liu, I think you're not quite right in the head. In that case, go to Qianling Mountain and clear your head."

"You can't stop me."

Qian Gong Liu's face darkened, and he said coldly.

"Ignorant child."

The head of the Qian family snorted coldly, "You haven't suffered enough, so you don't know your own limitations!"

He stood up with a loud bang.

A burst of light suddenly appeared above the Qian family's Wanli Manor.

The elders of the Qian family also stood up at the same time and lent their own power to the family head.

The head of the Qian family raised his hand and pressed down.

Qian Gong Liu's forehead veins bulged, and he let out a low growl, but his body gradually bent down.

The Qian family ruled Ziwei Star for countless years, and their foundation was unfathomable.

On this Purple Star, the Qian family is the god.

With the elders of the Qian family and the leaders of various forces joining forces, let alone a high-level Primordial Realm expert, even a peak Primordial Realm expert standing here would not be able to escape unscathed.

Even though Qian Gong Liu is a high-level Primordial Realm cultivator, he is now like a mosquito caught in a spider web, the more he struggles, the tighter he is bound.

at last.

With a wave of his hand, the head of the Qian family sent Qian Gong Liu flying.

"The warship that Gong Liu brought back is not bad; consider it a gift that Gong Liu brought back for the family."

The head of the Qian family said calmly.

…………

Huo Tu has already assembled an army of one million.

When he returned, he brought with him a Heaven-rank warship, two Earth-rank warships, and five Profound-rank warships.

At this moment, all the warships were filled with people.

Huo Tu was overjoyed.

Everything went smoothly; he was sure to be the first to return to the Star Gate.

That's how outstanding Huo Tu is!

Looking at the vast universe, he had already figured out how to achieve great things.

Once those abyssal creatures are eliminated, his cultivation level will definitely reach a higher level.

He'd like to see how that bastard Qian Gong Liu would dare to act arrogantly in front of him then.

suddenly.

A martial artist strode up to the bow of the warship.

"Boss, we've received a distress message."

The martial artist shouted.

"It was a man named Qian Gong Liu."

That's the way of the warrior.

"Who?"

Huo Tu was taken aback and asked instinctively.

"Qian Gong Liu, he's been trapped."

The martial artist said, "What Purple Star, Qianling Mountain?"

"That bastard Qian Gong Liu is trapped by his own people?"

Huo Tu stared wide-eyed, his expression one of disbelief.

"Are the Qian family members really that interesting? Are they engaging in internal strife?"

Huo Tu almost burst out laughing.

When Qian Gong Liu was with them, he always acted arrogantly and boasted about how awesome he was on Ziwei Star.

Is that all?

Huo Tu wasn't stupid either.

In a flash, he understood what was going on.

This time, they didn't return to their hometown in glory; they came back to gather their forces.

He encountered some minor setbacks when he was gathering his men.

Some people are narrow-minded and don't take the creatures of the abyss seriously.

However, Huo Tu's hometown was a small place with few powerful figures, so he easily suppressed it all by himself.

Moreover, they are quite united there.

The Purple Star is different.

Ziwei Star is the most powerful star in the sky, second to none.

Qian Gong Liu, even with the Ziwei star in his chart, couldn't really control the situation.

"Qian Gong Liu, let me save you."

Huo Tu laughed heartily.

"Brothers, change direction, let's go to Ziwei Star!"

Huo Tu waved his hand.

Although Qian Gong Liu is a bit annoying, he is still my brother. I can bully him, but others can't.

Since those bastards from the Qian family have trapped Qian Gong Liu, they definitely don't want to send troops to deal with the abyssal creatures.

Can we tolerate them?

This universe is their territory now. How can they allow outsiders to act so recklessly?
If they are not convinced, I, Huo Tu, will first flatten the Ziwei Star!
…………

Ziwei Star, Qianling Mountain.

This is where the Qian family rose to prominence, and also their secret territory.

The ancestors of the Qian family have all been buried here after their deaths.

This is also where the Qian family disciples are confined.

Qian Gong Liu's cultivation was sealed, and he was left in a mountain cave.

The entrance to the cave was sealed by a powerful array.

Qian Gong Liu slammed hard against the cave entrance, then was bounced back by the light barrier.

He fell heavily to the ground, his face full of frustration.

He, Qian Gong Liu, a powerful expert at the high level of the Primordial Realm, was as fragile as an ordinary person.

He was trapped in a small cave.

Fortunately, he was connected to the celestial-level warship, and before he was captured, he had already activated the warship's distress signal.

If there are other Celestial-Rank warships in the nearby star system, they can receive his request for assistance.

Although it is somewhat shameful to do this, we must choose the lesser of two evils.

If he remains trapped here, he will miss his chance to conquer the abyss.

Dealing with abyssal creatures, though dangerous, is also a rare opportunity.

Su Mu said that cultivation resources in the universe are limited. If he wants to catch up with Su Mu, he has to strive for resources.

Conquering the abyss is the best time to acquire resources.

"The guy closest to Ziwei Star is Zhao Baiqi."

Qian Gong Liu thought to himself, "Zhao Baiqi is a cautious person, so he probably won't attack Ziwei Star directly."

The only one who can get me out of here now is Su Mu.

Although the old guys from the Qian family are hateful, their strength is extraordinary, and a single Heaven-rank warship really can't deal with them.

It was my carelessness; otherwise, if I had brought back a few more celestial-level warships, these old guys wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant in front of me.

Don't wait for me to leave. Once I'm out, don't blame me for not treating you like elders! (End of Chapter)
