Chapter 831
Testing the Waters, Emperor Qian
Chang Shengtian's face was ferocious, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
He roared, stretched out his arms, and unleashed a tremendous aura.
In an instant, the entire Great Luo Heaven trembled violently.
Beams of light lit up, instantly revealing the entire structure of the Luo Tian Grand Array.
The power of the Luo Tian Grand Array began to converge towards the direction where Chang Sheng Tian and Su Mu were located.
That power transformed into a mountain of unknown height, pressing down on Su Mu.
Before the mountain even set, its aura had already locked onto Su Mu. No matter how Su Mu dodged, he couldn't escape the overwhelming force of Mount Tai pressing down on him.
Chang Shengtian pressed down with both hands, forcefully bringing the mountain down.
Su Mu's expression was serious. His body swayed slightly, and he instantly transformed into a hundred-foot giant, throwing a punch upwards.
The insights gained from his three rebirths made Su Mu's martial arts cultivation more refined and masterful.
This move is a return to simplicity.
What seemed like a simple punch actually created vortexes in the air the moment it was thrown.
Boundless power surged from Su Mu's fist, and the naked eye could even see a scene resembling the birth and death of the world.
boom.
With a soft thud, the power brought by the Luo Tian Grand Array was annihilated by Su Mu's fist without causing the slightest ripple.
Chang Shengtian's pupils suddenly contracted.
He involuntarily took a step back, instinctively wanting to turn around and run away.
Over the years, Chang Sheng Tian's behavior has led him to flee when faced with an opponent who could threaten him, rather than fight to the death.
Because of the unique nature of the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique, as long as he doesn't die, no matter how powerful the enemy he faces, he will definitely be able to surpass them in the future.
Therefore, the Eternal Heaven never had the idea of fighting to the death.
Giving up hope for the future for the sake of a temporary victory or defeat is the most foolish thing to do.
But as soon as he took a step back, Changshengtian realized what was happening.
Su Mu is different from his previous opponents.
It wasn't because Su Mu's cultivation was stronger than his previous opponents, but because Su Mu also knew the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique!
He could certainly turn around and run away; in that case, even Su Mu wouldn't be able to catch him.
Not only is Changshengtian incredibly powerful, but when it comes to escaping, if he claims to be second to none in the world, then no one would dare to claim to be number one.
He has lived eight lives, and his greatest skill is escaping.
But this time, he dared not run away.
If they escape, and Su Mu were to reveal the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique, then Changshengtian would become the target of public criticism.
No one else dares to say, but that Emperor Qian will definitely ruin him.
He can't take that risk.
He had to kill Su Mu so that the secret would remain solely in his possession!
"Su Mu, what kind of fist technique is that?"
Chang Sheng Tian stared at Su Mu, his expression extremely ugly.
The power of Su Mu's punch just now gave him a feeling of facing the destruction of heaven and earth.
That punch seemed capable of truly destroying everything.
With a smile playing on his lips, Su Mu slowly said, "This is my self-created Six Paths Reincarnation Fist. How is it? Not bad, right?"
Before he finished speaking, Su Mu took a step forward.
"How about you try punching me again?"
Su Mu threw another punch, and a swirling vortex appeared on his fist once more, with endless phenomena constantly arising and disappearing. Everything that stood in his way was annihilated by this punch.
Even space itself seemed to have been broken down into the most primordial chaos.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist..."
Chang Sheng Tian's expression was solemn as he muttered to himself.
The next moment, the expression on his face became firm.
No matter how powerful Su Mu is, he must kill Su Mu today!
He has reincarnated eight times in the Eternal Heaven and has been managing things in the Great Luo Heaven for so many years. Here, the Eternal Heaven is the only one!
With a long roar, Changshengtian's aura surged.
"Die!"
He raised his hand, and a long sword appeared in his hand.
In an instant, boundless sword energy erupted, condensing into a giant longsword in the air, which crashed towards Su Mu's fist.
Rumble!
The two forces collided.
In an instant, a powerful surge of energy spread outwards.
Everything in its path was destroyed.
The temple of the Great Luo Heaven has completely disappeared.
Even the hilltops were leveled.
The faces of Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, and others in the distance all showed expressions of horror.
Even though they were hundreds of miles apart, when that force spread to them, it forced them to retreat.
Those with slightly weaker cultivation were forced to the point of being unable to breathe by that power, and uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood.
"not good!"
The hearts of Zhenbei Heavenly King Yang You and the others sank, and they all unleashed their respective powers to block the dissipating aftershocks.
If these aftershocks are allowed to continue to spread, who knows what kind of damage they will bring to the Great Luo Heaven.
pedal!pedal!pedal!
With everyone working together, they managed to block the aftershocks, but they couldn't help but take several steps back, their faces filled with shock.
"Su Mu, is he really that strong?"
Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You and the others exchanged glances, all seeing the turmoil in each other's eyes.
They knew Su Mu was very strong; after all, if he weren't that strong, he wouldn't be qualified to be an ally of Da Luo Tian.
But they never imagined that Su Mu could be this powerful.
He actually managed to gain the upper hand even when fighting against the Eternal Heaven!
Although no one could clearly see the specific hardships on the battlefield, everyone understood that the Eternal Heaven must have suffered a loss just now.
Didn't you see that their Great Luo Heaven's temple was destroyed?
If the Eternal Heaven had the upper hand, how could it allow this scattered power to destroy the temple?
impossible!
No one could have imagined that in the heart of the Eternal Heaven, only his own body was the most precious thing. Whether it was the temple or the Great Luo Heaven, they were all just tools that could be sacrificed.
He, Changshengtian, would never put himself in danger for anyone or anything.
Therefore, it wasn't that Changshengtian was at a disadvantage, but rather that he used all his power to target Su Mu, completely disregarding the damage that the dissipated power might cause.
This was the first time Su Mu had encountered such an opponent.
Selfish, yet powerful.
In the past, his opponents, even the Great Celestial Venerable who had refined the entire Saha World, were far more selfish than him.
How could a person value themselves so highly?
While inwardly complaining, Su Mu couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Eternal Heaven.
No wonder he's a ruthless person who has cultivated the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique to the eighth incarnation.
It's important to know that the Eternal Heaven doesn't have its own system panel.
The Eternal Heaven lived for eight lifetimes entirely on its own.
In the world of martial arts, to live to a ripe old age and die peacefully so many times in a row is something that ordinary people can do.
Even the Great Celestial Venerable and the Qian Emperor might not be able to do it.
As far as Su Mu knew, even among experts at the Dao Extreme Realm, very few lived to a ripe old age and died peacefully in their sleep.
Martial artists are the most combative group, and it is almost unimaginable for them to die of old age in their beds.
Many Dao Realm experts will seek out an opponent or enemy for a final, desperate battle before their lifespan is about to run out.
Either break through to a higher realm, or die a heroic death and contribute your last bit of energy.
There is no one else in the world like Changshengtian.
However, this is also due to the special nature of the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique.
Other martial artists are truly dead when they die, but for Changshengtian, living is the greatest benefit.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Su Mu retreated once again.
He finally provoked the Eternal Heaven to anger.
This power has even surpassed that of Su Mu after he fused with the Primordial Remains.
Su Mu sighed inwardly. The Primordial Remains, the three Nirvanas, and the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist he had just comprehended, were still no match for the Eternal Heaven.
However, to be fair, the Eternal Heaven is very powerful, and such an opponent is hard to find in the world.
With the help of the pressure from the Eternal Heaven, his Six Paths Reincarnation Fist has already taken shape.
Given time, he will surely be able to perfect the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist.
At that time, we might be able to kill the Eternal Heaven.
"Ha ha!"
Su Mu laughed heartily.
"The Eternal Heaven is nothing more than this!"
I've had my fill today, I'm leaving now, see you another day!
Before he finished speaking, Su Mu's figure had already soared into the sky.
The Luo Tian Grand Array, which covered the entire Great Luo Heaven, was torn open like paper under Su Mu's brute force.
"Where do you think you're going!"
"The Eternal Heaven roared in fury."
"Emperor Qian, why aren't you making a move?"
If Su Mu escapes, we will both die without a burial place!
"Kill him, and I'll grant you all your requests!"
The Celestial Emperor was truly anxious.
If Su Mu escapes, the secret of the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique will be lost.
This is something he simply cannot accept.
But even he couldn't stop Su Mu, who was determined to escape.
He had no choice but to seek help from Emperor Qian!
Fortunately, he had already colluded with Emperor Qian to ambush Su Mu. According to their plan, Changshengtian would strike first; if they could kill Su Mu, all the better. If not, Emperor Qian and the experts of Daqian would then make their move.
Although Su Mu hadn't fallen into their trap before, their setup was still proving effective.
Before Changshengtian could finish speaking, a powerful aura soared into the sky, blocking Su Mu's escape route.
A middle-aged man dressed in a dragon robe appeared in front of Su Mu. With a wave of his hand, a five-clawed golden dragon flew out and pounced towards Su Mu.
Almost simultaneously, several powerful auras appeared from all directions.
Those people raised their hands and instantly unleashed beams of light.
Swish swish!
The rays of light wove together into a net, following closely behind the five-clawed golden dragon, all heading towards Su Mu.
With so many powerful figures attacking at the same time, even a true Tai Chu Realm expert would have to temporarily avoid their attacks, let alone Su Mu.
A ruthless glint flashed in Su Mu's eyes.
He is Su Mu, not Chang Sheng Tian.
The Eternal Heaven fears death, but Su Mu has never been afraid of death.
Faced with the attacks of Emperor Qian and a group of powerful figures from the Great Qian Dynasty, Su Mu not only did not retreat, but instead increased his speed dramatically.
He shouted loudly, and a dazzling golden light appeared on his body.
In an instant, a tattered suit of armor appeared on his body.
At the same time, the Immortal-Slaying Blade also appeared in his hand.
Even through the skin and muscles, the primordial skeleton seemed to be revealed.
Su Mu's aura instantly reached its peak.
He gripped the knife with both hands and slashed forward with it.
boom!
The blade collided with the golden dragon, instantly splitting it in two.
Su Mu became one with his sword and flew forward.
At this moment, the inescapable net was finally laid down.
The armor on Su Mu's body shone brightly as it collided violently with the inescapable net.
Click, click!
The inescapable net crumbled piece by piece, and at the same time, Su Mu's armor shattered.
This priceless treasure he obtained from the secret realm of Jambudvipa was finally completely destroyed.
But its remaining heat still allowed Su Mu to break through the blockade of the Great Qian experts.
At this moment, Su Mu appeared in front of Emperor Qian, his Immortal-Slaying Blade drawing a circle and falling towards Emperor Qian with the force of Mount Tai crashing down.
At this moment, the Eternal Heaven was in hot pursuit, and dozens of powerful figures from the Great Qian Dynasty were lying in ambush from all directions.
But Emperor Qian felt as if he were facing Su Mu alone.
He looked at Su Mu, his expression turning serious.
He'd heard the name Su Mu so many times he was practically sick of it.
To be honest, he hadn't taken Su Mu seriously before.
But now he realized that, without him noticing, Su Mu had become so powerful.
Without thinking twice, Emperor Qian let out a long howl.
He produced a broadsword, gripped it with both hands, and slashed forward simultaneously.
With a deafening roar, Emperor Qian was thrown backward.
Su Mu landed a successful blow, but instead of pressing his advantage, he flew off in another direction.
Emperor Qian's retreat created a gap in the encirclement.
For a powerful figure like Su Mu, this gap was an opportunity to escape.
The Eternal Heaven is now only a few dozen miles away from Su Mu, and he can arrive in just a few breaths.
But now, he could only watch helplessly as Su Mu's figure disappeared from his sight.
"waste!"
Chang Shengtian roared inwardly, "This Qian Emperor is too useless. He couldn't even hold out for a few breaths."
If Su Mu were to escape, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Gandi!"
"Eternal Heaven roared!"
Emperor Qian's expression flickered for a moment, then he raised his hand.
He did not make any further moves.
Meanwhile, the powerful figures of the Great Qian Dynasty rushed forward, attempting to re-seal the gap in the encirclement.
Among the Nine Extremes of the Great Qian Dynasty, the fastest was one of them. He flashed in front of Su Mu and slashed out with his sword, turning it into a sky full of sword light, trying to force Su Mu back.
Su Mu snorted coldly and handed over the Immortal-Slaying Blade without hesitation.
Click!
The blade light shattered one after another, and a flash of bright light instantly appeared on the Dao Extreme Realm expert.
The expert at the pinnacle of power froze in mid-air.
Su Mu didn't stop moving and flew right past him.
It wasn't until Su Mu flew several miles away that a bloodstain appeared between the eyebrows of the extreme realm expert. The bloodstain quickly spread downwards, and then his body split to the left and right.
A powerful expert at the Dao Realm was actually cut in two by Su Mu with a single strike.
The powerful figures of the Great Qian Dynasty immediately stopped in their tracks.
Some sharp-eyed people noticed that besides the blood of the expert at the extreme realm, there was also a pool of blood that Su Mu had vomited on the ground.
It was obvious that Su Mu's few moves just now were not as easy as they appeared on the surface.
Su Mu was also injured.
Even so, they dared not continue the pursuit.
To kill a Dao Realm expert with a single strike is simply too brutal.
If they chase after him, let alone whether they can stop Su Mu, even if they can, they don't know how many people will die.
Can't you see that His Majesty isn't making a move?
Why should they bother with something that even His Majesty isn't sure about?
Now that Changshengtian is fighting Su Mu to the death, let Changshengtian fight desperately.
Chang Shengtian was furious. He didn't stop, flashing past Emperor Qian and disappearing, continuing to chase after Su Mu.
“Since your Great Qian Dynasty is unwilling to contribute, then our agreement must be reneged on.”
After uttering those words, Chang Shengtian transformed into a streak of light and sped forward.
Emperor Qian's expression changed, and he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"Threatening me?"
Emperor Qian sneered and muttered to himself, "Chang Sheng Tian, why are you so furious? Could it be that Su Mu did something?"
You don't care about the billions of living beings in the Great Luo Heaven, so the only thing you care about so much is probably the secret of immortality.
Did Su Mu obtain that secret from the Great Luo Heaven?
I'd long heard that Su Mu possessed great fortune, and seeing him today, I can confirm it's true.
He looked in the direction where Su Mu and Changshengtian disappeared and smiled coldly, "Cooperating with Changshengtian is cooperation, and cooperating with Su Mu is also cooperation."
I don't care who my collaborators are; what I care about is who can bring me what I want.
"His Majesty--"
The powerful figures of the Great Qian Dynasty hesitated and made no decision.
“Let’s go take a look. Changshengtian and Su Mu are both top experts in this world. Cultivation is not easy. It would be a pity if they died like this. I think it would be better for them to live first.”
Emperor Qian spoke slowly.
…………
When Emperor Qian led a group of powerful figures from the Great Qian Dynasty to catch up with Changshengtian, Changshengtian was standing there with a gloomy expression.
Emperor Qian and the powerful figures of the Great Qian Dynasty looked around but did not find Su Mu's body.
"He escaped?"
Emperor Qian couldn't help but ask.
Chang Shengtian turned his head and glanced at him, then said coldly.
"Emperor Qian, you will definitely regret letting Su Mu go today."
Having said that, Changshengtian offered no further explanation and turned to leave.
"presumptuous--"
A Dao Realm expert from the Great Qian Dynasty roared angrily.
Emperor Qian stopped him, letting Changshengtian leave, and said calmly, "The more furious he is, the greater his losses are."
It seems that Su Mu did indeed do something that he couldn't accept.
Emperor Qian said with a half-smile, "Is Huang Chao in that Great Xuan Dynasty now?"
My good brother has good taste.
Since he is my brother, then the Great Xuan Dynasty is my brotherly state of Great Qian.
We'll send a delegation to talk to the Great Xuan Dynasty later.
Surely a small dynasty like the Great Xuan Dynasty wouldn't be truly determined to oppose my Great Qian Dynasty.
"That's natural. Our Great Qian Dynasty wants to establish diplomatic relations with them because we respect them."
Do they still dare to refuse?
The powerful figures of the Great Qian Dynasty all spoke up.
…………
In some unknown place, Su Mu's figure fell from the sky.
He staggered a few steps and spat out a small mouthful of blood.
"What a wonderful Eternal Heaven! It hurts so much!"
Su Mu muttered to himself, cursing, "I really can't beat him now."
To truly suppress him, I'll need at least two more rebirths.
However, Changshengtian was also injured this time. If he wants to die peacefully of old age, he needs to recover from his injuries as soon as possible. In the short term, he probably won't dare to cause trouble.
However, Emperor Qian is probably not entirely honest. He just let me leave without asking; he and I have no connection, so he definitely doesn't have any good intentions! (End of Chapter)
