Chapter 896
Secret Weapon
With a deafening sound, a beam of light shot into the sky.
Amidst the seven-colored light, a warship slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.
Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gongliu, Yuan Huaizhou, and the others all stared wide-eyed at the warship, their faces filled with excitement.
This warship looks exactly the same as the previous Da Xuan, but anyone can see that it has been completely transformed and is completely different from before.
This is a brand new Daigen-go.
It's a Celestial-tier warship!
Su Mu, together with the group from the Eight Scenery Stars, completed the upgrade of the Great Xuan.
Of course, the treasures contributed by the Eight Stars were also indispensable.
The accumulated wealth of the Eight Stars over countless years has now been entirely consumed by this Great Xuan.
Looking at the Great Xuan, Li Ruofei, Zhang Yunzhou, and the others were filled with emotion.
This is a great work.
It was an honor for them to be able to participate in the creation of this great work.
None of the treasures from the Eight Trigrams Star were wasted.
Using it on the Great Xuan might just be their mission for the Eight Scenery Stars over the years.
"This Great Xuan is definitely the most powerful Heaven-rank warship in history."
The Heavenly-Rank warships we previously crafted for Huang Tiandao are simply no match for it!
Li Ruofei said with certainty.
He was an expert in forging warships, so no one doubted his words.
"Do you think the Great Xuan can defeat that Xu Xun from before?"
Huo Tu said with great fighting spirit.
He is a vengeful person.
Previously, Tang Jun and Xu Xun surrounded them. If Su Mu hadn't come out of seclusion in time, they and the Great Xuan would have all died at their hands.
Although Xu Xun has been killed by Su Mu, Tang Jun is still alive.
Moreover, they suspected that Huang Tiandao had the means to bring Xu Xun back to life.
While Su Mu and the others were upgrading the Great Xuan, Huo Tu was constantly thinking about how to take revenge.
He was self-aware enough to know that he was no match for Tang Jun and Xu Xun in a one-on-one fight.
That's why he set his sights on the Great Xuan.
"If you ask me about the power of the Great Xuan itself, then I can tell you that the Great Xuan definitely has the power to defeat Xu Xun and Tang Jun."
Xu Ruofei said seriously, "But if you ask me whether you can defeat them by piloting the Great Xuan, I have to tell you the truth, no."
Even if you were given the Great Xuan to pilot, you wouldn't be able to unleash its full power.
Xu Ruofei is outspoken.
While celestial-level warships are indeed powerful, their immense power makes them extremely difficult to control—a feat that no single person can accomplish alone.
Let alone one person, even a dozen people wouldn't be enough.
Such a large warship would require at least a hundred experts at the Primordial Realm to operate smoothly.
Huo Tu and his group were able to control the Great Xuan, a warship at the Earth Rank, but they found it difficult to control the Great Xuan, which is now at the Heaven Rank.
The difference between Earth Rank and Heaven Rank is many times greater than the difference between Earth Rank and Yellow Rank.
"Does that mean that now that the Great Xuan has been upgraded to a Heavenly-rank warship, we're no longer able to control it?"
Huo Tu frowned.
With increased warship power, their combat effectiveness has actually decreased?
What is the point of upgrading this warship?
"That's not it. You just can't unleash the full power of a Heavenly Rank warship."
Now that you're piloting the Great Xuan, your combat capabilities will definitely be stronger than before.
This is beyond doubt.
Li Ruofei said.
A Celestial-rank warship is definitely stronger than an Earth-rank warship.
You guys aren't good enough, it's not that the Heavenly Rank warships aren't good enough.
As they were talking, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the Great Xuan.
The light instantly enveloped them.
Before they could even react, they were already on the deck of the Great Xuan.
Everyone looked around with curiosity.
The deck of this Da Xuan Hao is much larger than before.
With so many people standing on the deck, it didn't feel crowded at all; on the contrary, it felt unusually spacious.
Their gazes fell on the figure standing at the bow of the ship.
"Huang Tiandao's men have returned."
Su Mu said calmly.
Everyone's expression changed instantly, and their excitement vanished.
They all followed Su Mu's gaze and looked ahead.
Just then, a gigantic warship appeared in their field of vision.
"A Celestial-Rank Warship!"
Li Ruofei and the others from the Eight Views Stars had drastically changed their expressions and shouted in a deep voice.
Celestial-tier warship?
A look of horror appeared in everyone's eyes at the same time.
They were just discussing whether the Great Xuan could handle Huang Tiandao's top experts.
So Huang Tiandao came to kill us?
Huang Tiandao is truly a persistent ghost.
again and again.
When will they finally give up?
"This time, we must beat them until they're terrified! Otherwise, who will have the patience to keep fighting them like this, going on and on?"
Huo Tu muttered indignantly.
Everyone wore expressions of deep agreement.
They all felt that defeating Huang Tiandao was a matter of course.
Even the people of the Eight Stars are like this.
Su Mu chuckled to himself.
He himself didn't have that much confidence.
As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss.
Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gongliu, and others were only at the Tai Chu Realm, and they did not know just how strong Huang Tiandao was.
Before breaking through to the Primordial Realm, Su Mu had also gone through a similar stage.
But now he has broken through the Primordial Realm and seen a wider world.
He knew that Huang Tiandao's leaders were probably stronger than him.
The higher Su Mu's cultivation level, the more he realized that he was not invincible.
Despite this, Su Mu felt no fear whatsoever.
He may not be invincible, but there are few in the world who can defeat him.
There is no one who can kill him.
On the contrary, he was somewhat looking forward to encountering Huang Tiandao's top experts.
He also wanted to test his understanding of the Primordial Realm against a true expert to see if it was right or wrong.
While pondering.
Huang Tiandao's Heavenly Rank warship had arrived nearby and stopped ten miles away from the Great Xuan.
This distance is just a sprint for a celestial-level warship.
The other side did not launch an attack immediately.
A figure flew out of the warship.
"Xu Xun!"
After seeing the person's appearance clearly, everyone's expression changed.
They exchanged a glance, their faces filled with undisguised shock.
Huang Tiandao truly possesses the ability to bring the dead back to life!
Previously, they had only speculated, but now that they had witnessed a person who should have died appear alive and well before them, all their speculations had become reality.
Huang Tiandao can bring people back to life.
So, all those people they killed before were in vain?
"Su Mu!"
Xu Xun shouted, his voice penetrating the defenses of the Great Xuan and reaching everyone's ears.
"Do you dare to fight me again?"
Xu Xun stood tall in the void, emanating an overwhelming aura.
"Xu Xun, you are no match for me. You should let the person behind you come out."
Su Mu took a step forward, his body leaving the Great Xuan.
He walked through the air, and after a few steps he was in front of Xu Xun, speaking calmly.
"You look down on me?"
Xu Xun's face darkened, and he said coldly.
"Do I need to respect you?"
Su Mu said calmly, "If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time."
Even at your peak, you were no match for me. Do you think you can be my match now?
"Having been resurrected, your essence has been damaged. If I were to kill you a few more times, even the person behind you might not be able to save you."
"You have indeed broken through."
Xu Xun's face turned ashen. Just then, a voice rang out.
Two figures suddenly appeared beside Xu Xun.
One of them was Tang Jun, whom Su Mu had met before.
The other person was an unfamiliar face.
The moment the person appeared, Xu Xun took a step back, his face showing respect.
The three were clearly led by the third person.
"shameless!"
On the Great Xuan, Huo Tu shouted and cursed at the top of his lungs.
"Is all you Huang Tiandao people know how to do is bully the weak with numbers?"
"If you're so capable, try it one-on-one."
Huo Tu shouted.
Everyone looked indignant.
Xu Xun, Tang Jun, and someone else who might be even stronger than the two of them. The opponent actually wants to take on three against one!
How could someone who is a top-tier expert be so shameless?
If they hadn't known they were no match for Su Mu, they would have rushed up to help him long ago.
But they knew that with their strength, rushing in would not only fail to help Su Mu, but would also hinder him.
"Three against one?"
The third person shook his head and said nonchalantly, "In this world, there are people who can be outnumbered by me, but it's definitely not you."
Let me introduce myself. I am Huang Tiandao Xia Zhizun.
He looked Su Mu up and down with a curious expression.
"I had some doubts before, but after seeing you in person, I am certain that you have broken through the Primordial Realm and touched the Primordial Beginning."
"I'm just a little curious. I know almost all the celestial beings in the heavens, but I've never seen you before."
Xia Zhizun said slowly, "Before you make a move, can you tell me who you really are?"
"You don't even know who I am, yet you Huangtiandao keep coming to kill me?"
Su Mu said with a half-smile.
"You're not dead, are you?"
Xia Zhizun said nonchalantly, "On the contrary, my Huangtiandao suffered considerable losses, even Xu Xun was killed by you once."
If I had known you were a celestial being, I would have come looking for you long ago.
"In that case, it doesn't matter who I am."
Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "Let's fight first."
Before he finished speaking, he had already taken a step forward and thrown a punch.
The moment he unleashed his punch, six vortexes appeared in the air, their power engulfing Xia Zhizun, Xu Xun, and Tang Jun on the opposite side.
Xia Zhizun snorted coldly.
He hadn't even made a move yet, and Su Mu dared to strike first.
I really don't know how to live or die!
What about celestial beings?
Who isn't a celestial being?
There are also distinctions of strength and weakness between humans and celestial beings.
Back when I, Xia Zhizun, roamed the heavens, you were still suckling at your mother's breast!
With a flick of his sleeve, he sent Xu Xun and Tang Jun flying.
When Xia Zhizun fights, he disdains using numbers to bully the few!
In the blink of an eye, Xia Zhizun not only sent Xu Xun and Tang Jun flying, but also managed to block Su Mu's punch.
The two forces collided in the void.
A loud bang.
Visible energy fluctuations spread through the air like boiling water.
The two celestial-level warships seemed to have encountered waves, and were pushed backward by the churning force.
For an instant.
Su Mu and Xia Zhizun disappeared from everyone's sight.
This wasn't because their speed was so fast that it was impossible to detect with the naked eye; rather, they truly vanished.
Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gongliu, Yuan Huaizhou and others stared wide-eyed, straining to see.
But still, not a single clue could be found.
It was as if Su Mu and Xia Zhizun had never existed.
The two disappeared completely, leaving not even a trace of their power.
On the contrary, Tang Jun and Xu Xun on the other side remained calm.
They both knew that powerful individuals like Xia Zhizun could enter a higher-dimensional space.
Neither of them knew what kind of space it was.
That's an area that only experts at the Primordial Realm can access.
When powerful cultivators at the Primordial Realm fight, they all end up in that space.
Only that realm can withstand the power of a Primordial Realm expert.
Only in that realm can a Primordial Realm expert unleash their full power.
They knew that Su Mu and Xia Zhizun had entered that realm and would only reappear after a battle was decided.
Their gazes fell upon the Great Xuan.
"Hmph, Su Mu is doomed, so let's send these guys on their way first."
Xu Xun and Tang Jun exchanged a glance and said coldly.
With Xia Zhizun absent, they were unable to control that Heavenly Rank warship.
It doesn't matter.
Both of them are at the peak of the Primordial Beginning Realm, and together they can easily deal with a Heavenly Rank warship.
When Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gongliu, Yuan Huaizhou and the others saw Xu Xun and Tang Jun coming, their hearts sank.
"Gentlemen, now is the time to test us."
Xu Ruofei, the sect leader of the Eight Scenery Star Sect, suddenly spoke up, "The power of the Great Profound Ship is enough to withstand the attack of a Tai Chu Realm Perfection expert."
"As long as we can unleash the power of the Great Xuanhao, we have nothing to fear from them!"
A glimmer of hope appeared on everyone's faces.
"Sect Leader Xu, you are an expert in forging warships, we will all listen to you."
Zhao Baiqi made a decisive decision and said in a deep voice.
Among these people, Zhao Baiqi was the captain recognized by Su Mu.
In the past, when Su Mu was not around, Zhao Baiqi was in charge of giving orders.
But now, Zhao Baiqi has directly handed this power over to Xu Ruofei.
This is what they are like now.
They had no desire for power or profit; all they wanted was victory!
They were willing to make any sacrifice as long as they could protect the Great Xuan and achieve victory.
In the critical moment, Xu Ruofei stepped forward without hesitation.
"Gentlemen, please forgive me."
He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Baiqi, go to the bow of the boat."
Qian Gong Liu, go to the rear cabin.
Huo Tu…
He issued a series of commands, and the crowd moved swiftly to their respective positions.
hum!
A soft sound.
A golden light shone from the Great Xuan.
Just then, Xu Xun and Tang Jun appeared in front of the Great Xuan and simultaneously threw punches down.
The golden light instantly collided with their fists.
Amidst a deafening roar, the Great Xuan retreated steadily for dozens of miles.
Xu Xun and Tang Jun were also shaken and took a few steps back.
Seeing that the Great Xuan was completely intact, both of them showed disbelief on their faces.
With their combined strength, even a celestial-level warship wouldn't be able to withstand their attack.
That bastard Su Mu, his people are unpredictable, and the warships he forges are just as illogical.
"I'll see how long you can hold out!"
Xu Xun and Tang Jun roared and pounced on them again.
The light on the Great Xuan swirled, and it began to gather strength for a counterattack.
…………
Within a realm filled with chaos.
This is not the present universe, nor is it the microcosm within any powerful being.
This is the primordial chaos before heaven and earth were separated, a place where the long river of time flows.
This is a place that cannot be clearly described in words.
The infinite universe, the origin of everything, is here.
Only those who have reached the Primordial Realm can access this realm.
But they can only operate on the edge of this chaos.
Even Su Mu and Xia Zhizun dared not delve too deeply into it, for fear that they would get lost inside.
They fought fiercely at the edge of the chaotic realm, causing the chaos to churn and the sky to darken.
Both sides showed no mercy, unleashing their winning strategies as if they were free.
If these forces existed in the real universe, they would probably level an area within a radius of tens of millions of miles.
However, in this chaos, even the most powerful forces will be swallowed up by the chaos and will not cause any damage.
The two of them could act without any scruples.
This was the first time Su Mu had released his power so completely.
He became more and more excited as he fought, and couldn't help but let out a series of long howls.
He hadn't felt this exhilarating feeling in years.
Only an opponent like this can force him to use his full strength.
Only an opponent like this could force him to discover his weaknesses.
Su Mu now realizes that his own deduction of the Primordial Realm is not yet perfect.
He had many new ideas in mind.
This battle came just in time!
Su Mu was in a great mood, but Xia Zhizun was somewhat depressed.
He couldn't figure out where Su Mu had come from.
He didn't know anyone like that among the Celestials, but if Su Mu wasn't a Celestial, how could he possess such strength?
Su Mu's strength is already on par with his.
Such a person could not possibly remain unknown even in the heavens.
Ironically, Xia Zhizun didn't recognize the other party.
This gave Xia Zhizun a bad feeling.
Could it be that Su Mu is a secret weapon prepared by the Heavenly Realm, specifically to deal with their Yellow Heaven Path?
Yes!
That must be it!
Su Mu must have been secretly trained by the Heavenly Realm to deal with their Yellow Heaven Path!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why an unknown person could possess such powerful cultivation!
"So what if it's a secret weapon? I admit your strength is no less than mine, but that's all!"
Xia Zhizun let out a long roar, "Su Mu, I already know your background."
Next time, you'll definitely die!
Before he finished speaking, he forced Su Mu back with a punch and then flashed away from the Chaos Domain. (End of Chapter)
