Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

Divine light rained down on the protective shield like arrows, but Su Mu braved the onslaught and rushed to the ice coffin. His hand, covered in dark gold Dao fire and divine power, reached out and easily removed the ice lotus from the coffin lid.

Neither the ice coffin nor the divine corpse inside triggered any additional attacks. It seems that the barbarian ancestors who built the ice palace and placed the divine corpse never expected that an ice lotus would be born, nor did they set up any deadly formations to target the ice lotus.

Su Mu took out the high-quality jade box obtained from Moen's storage magic treasure, carefully placed the ice lotus inside, and stored it in the system warehouse.

He then exerted force to push the lid of the ice coffin, but the coffin was heavy and moved very slowly.

He tried to store the entire ice coffin, along with the divine corpse inside, directly into the system's storage, but failed.

The divine patterns on the surface of the ice coffin are connected with the array patterns on the floor of the tomb chamber, forming a complete confinement domain that can resist the power of spatial absorption.

Su Mu no longer hesitated and activated the dark golden Dao fire to burn the divine patterns at the bottom of the ice coffin.

The formation here is ancient and its power has greatly diminished. It was once a restriction that could trap ordinary gods, but now it only requires destroying a small part of the divine runes to break the restraint.

After one of the patterns was burned away, the spatial confinement failed, and Su Mu successfully stored the entire ice coffin and the divine corpse inside into the system's warehouse.

At this moment, the protective light shield around his body was on the verge of shattering under the continuous bombardment of divine light.

Su Mu turned and rushed out of the tomb chamber, and the light shield shattered instantly.

Before he could reassemble the Dao Fire Shield, a violent and fierce force suddenly attacked.

Tulaer swung his spiked club and smashed it down on Su Mu's head with all his might, intending to launch a sneak attack.

Su Mu remained wary of the two from beginning to end. Even when he was trapped under the oppressive aura at the bottom of the pool and couldn't dodge, he still managed to raise his arm to block in time.

His left arm, covered in dark gold fire, was held horizontally above his head.

Chapter 254 Accumulating the Dao Divine Talisman, Seeking Self-Destruction

boom! !

The spiked club slammed into Su Mu's left arm, the immense impact sending waves of energy through his body. Su Mu's legs buckled violently, and he nearly collapsed into the pool.

"Tula! What do you intend to do?!" Upon seeing this, Song Qingmei hurriedly shouted.

A sharp pain surged through his left arm, and Su Mu instantly summoned the Purple Cloud Divine Sword with his right hand, thrusting the blade straight at Tulaer.

Tular quickly retreated to avoid the sword's edge, his eyes filled with disappointment; his sneak attack had failed to seriously injure Su Mu.

Even though Su Mu had previously admitted that he had not collected any other relics besides Moen's Dao Fire, the large amount of divine-grade ice marrow and many divine treasures that Su Mu had just collected at the bottom of the pool still aroused Tula'er's boundless greed, not to mention that Su Mu was still holding Moen's natal Dao Fire in his hand.

Su Mu was not a registered member of the Star Palace, and Tula'er's act of seizing it was not bound by the rules of the Star Palace.

If Su Mu had already joined the Star Palace, his fellow disciples would be violating their oath to kill each other and steal treasures, and would be severely punished. He would never dare to do so in public.

"He kept all of Senior Moen's belongings and refused to return them, so I had no choice but to take them back by force!"

As soon as Tulaar finished speaking, a two-headed pterosaur-shaped Dao Soul instantly unfolded above his head.

At this moment, the binding force at the bottom of the pool dissipated, allowing the two to release their Dao Souls without any hindrance and fight with all their might.

"snort."

Su Mu's face turned ashen. He let out a cold shout, suppressing the churning blood and qi within his body. Without saying another word, he swung the Purple Cloud Divine Sword and activated the Falling Sun Slash.

A long, golden sword beam, imbued with dark gold fire, tore through the pool water and whistled as it slashed toward Turael.

Tula swung his spiked club, using the divine power of the Dao Soul to forcefully block the sword strike.

He knew in his heart that his sneak attack had failed, and if he wanted to kill Su Mu, he would have to use his trump card.

With a thought, he took out a special talisman and crushed it.

The divine rune exploded, and a vast and boundless aura swept across the entire bottom of the pool, where the energy body of a powerful three-eyed race member materialized out of thin air.

"It's a Dao-accumulating Divine Talisman, a Dao Body Divine Energy Body!" Song Qingmei exclaimed in a low voice, without the slightest surprise on her face.

As fellow Star Palace True Gods, she knew that Tula'er possessed a mid-grade God-level Dao Accumulation Talisman, and she herself held an even higher-grade God-level Dao Accumulation Talisman.

The mid-grade Divine Rank Dao Accumulation Talisman can pre-store the divine soul, physical body, and divine power origin of a Great God Realm expert. Once activated, it can condense an energy body with the strength of a Great God. Its function is similar to the Clone Talisman, but it is completely different.

The Clone Talisman gathers one's own combat power, while the Dao Accumulation Talisman stores the essence of a powerful being and condenses that powerful being's energy avatar.

Infusing the Dao-accumulating talisman with one's own essence is extremely taxing on great gods and even celestial beings, and ordinary people would never give it away so easily.

It is not hard to see that Turaly had a very deep relationship with a certain three-eyed god in the Star Palace, which is why he was able to receive such a treasure.

Song Qingmei, standing to the side, was caught in a dilemma, her heart filled with conflicting emotions.

She intended to win over Su Mu and recommended him to become a disciple of her divine grandfather. The human race was already weak and powerless, and she did not want Su Mu to die tragically here.

However, she and Tulaer were both disciples of the Star Palace. According to the sect's ironclad rules, even if she was unwilling to help Tulaer, she absolutely could not help outsiders fight against her fellow disciples.

It was precisely because he was certain that Song Qingmei would not interfere due to the rules that Tula dared to openly attack Su Mu in front of her.

The three-eyed race's energy body was engulfed in primordial Dao fire, and its Dao body deity exuded an incomparably terrifying sense of oppression.

Without further hesitation, Su Mu directly summoned a mid-grade divine gold puppet.

The moment the puppet appeared, an even heavier and more domineering aura swept across the entire area, instantly overwhelming the three-eyed race's energy body.

The energy avatar that Tula activated by the Dao Accumulation Talisman was merely a mid-stage Great God powerhouse, possessing only divine power and not yet having conceived a Dao embryo.

Su Mu's Divine Golden Puppet is comparable to a complete Dao Body, and comes with its own unique rare Dao Embryo, completely crushing its opponent with its aura alone.

"How is this possible..."

Tulaer and Song Qingmei both looked shocked.

With a single punch, the Divine Golden Puppet shattered the energy body of the Three-Eyed Clan's Great God, and then charged straight towards Turael.

Tular had no idea that Su Mu possessed such a top-tier trump card.

He thought that by using the Dao Accumulation Talisman, he could easily kill Su Mu. He lost his composure and missed all his chances to escape.

Ignoring the lingering pressure at the bottom of the pool, the puppet moved with extreme speed, slamming a heavy punch into Tula'er. His divine body shattered instantly, and his Dao soul and spirit dissipated and perished along with it.

The Divine Golden Puppet's combat power is comparable to that of a late-stage Great God, while Tula'er is only a mid-stage True God. The difference in their realms is like an insurmountable chasm. If a Great God were to make a move, he could annihilate a True God with a single strike.

Su Mu stepped forward and skillfully took away the spiked club and storage magic item left behind by Tulaer. Then he turned to look at Song Qingmei, and the divine metal puppet locked onto her, remaining on guard at all times.

To be on the safe side, Su Mu still held tightly to the mid-grade divine-level Void Escape Talisman left behind by Moen, not daring to relax. Song Qingmei had a heavenly god grandfather behind her, and her background was unknown, so he could not be careless.

"I can distinguish between good and evil. You are completely different from Tulaer and have no intention of harming me." Su Mu said slowly. "Just now you saw with your own eyes that it was Tulaer who launched the sneak attack first, attempting to kill and steal the treasure. He was only asking for his own destruction."

Song Qingmei sighed softly, "Never mind, let's float up to the outside of the Ice Palace first."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them floated up together, left the pool, and returned to the gate of the Ice Palace.

"Fellow Daoist Su, regardless of the cause, I went out on a mission with Tulaer. He died here, and I returned to the Star Palace alone. It will be difficult to explain to the sect." Standing outside the palace gate, Song Qingmei looked troubled.

"You remained aloof throughout the entire process and did not assist Tula, which is enough to prove that you can distinguish right from wrong and adhere to your principles," Su Mu replied. "The two of you have a personal grudge. You don't need to pay a huge price to become my enemy for someone with malicious intentions."

"Fellow Daoist Su seems to be very familiar with the internal rules of the Star Palace." Song Qingmei's eyes flickered slightly, her meaning clear.

Although the Star Palace does not interfere in the personal feuds of its disciples, those who travel together cannot stand idly by and watch their fellow disciples perish. Su Mu's understanding of the sect's rules made her suspicious.

Not all cosmic forces allow their disciples to fight and kill each other. Even if the sect does not interfere, fellow disciples have an obligation to help each other.

"I don't know much about the rules of the Star Palace, but I believe that justice will prevail in this world." Su Mu said frankly, "We went into the Black Mist together to wipe out the Ghost Clan. We were teammates fighting side by side. I risked my life to go deep into the pool to rescue you two. Instead of being grateful, Tulaer secretly attacked and stole the treasure. The higher-ups of the Star Palace will surely be able to distinguish right from wrong in such despicable behavior."
