Chapter 899
Heavenly Realm, Cage
Su Mu's body felt as heavy as a billion pounds.
Even with six Primordial Realm experts attacking simultaneously, they couldn't pull him into that chaotic space that only Primordial Realm experts could enter.
He stood there in the void.
His body was surrounded by swirling vortexes, which absorbed and digested all the power that the six Primordial Realm experts had unleashed.
Xia Zhizun and the others all showed expressions of shock.
Xia Zhizun had fought with Su Mu before, and he knew that Su Mu's strength was no less than his own.
However, Su Mu's strength was definitely not at its current level when they fought last time.
He actually managed to block the attacks of six experts of the same level so effortlessly!
If Xia Zhizun put himself in Su Mu's shoes, he would probably be injured by now.
"Brothers, be careful! He's stronger than last time!"
Although Xia Zhizun was unwilling to believe it, he still shouted it out.
The expressions on everyone's faces changed once again.
Has it gotten stronger again?
How long has it been since Xia Zhizun last fought with Su Mu?
For powerful individuals like them, a few short years is practically nothing more than the blink of an eye.
How did Su Mu's strength increase so much in such a short time?
Is this the secret weapon of the heavens?
"No matter how strong they are, they're only at the Primordial Realm! Brothers, don't hold back, let's finish this quickly!"
A leader of the Yellow Heaven Path's Heavenly Gang shouted.
The expressions on everyone's faces instantly turned sharp.
With things having come to this point, they no longer cared whether it would alarm the Heavenly Realm, and unleashed all their power to press down on Su Mu.
Su Mu's lips curled up slightly, a mocking expression on his face.
"What makes you think I have to passively take the beating?"
Su Mu said calmly.
Before he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve.
The Great Xuan disappeared into the air in an instant.
Along with him, Su Mu's figure also disappeared.
Su Mu actually disappeared silently within the encirclement of the six powerful figures!
With a deafening roar, Su Mu's figure appeared in the direction of the Heavenly Realm.
The Huangtian Dao Yuanshi Realm expert who was blocking the entrance to the Heavenly Realm roared and threw a punch at Su Mu.
"If you want to enter the Heavenly Realm, you must pass my test!"
That person was so powerful that with a single punch, even space itself was shattered.
Countless chaotic energies surged from the shattered glass-like space.
Su Mu crossed his arms to block, but was actually forced back a step by the opponent's attack.
behind.
Xia Zhizun and the others had already pounced on them.
Once he falls into their encirclement again, even with Su Mu's current strength, there will be almost no chance of him escaping.
You can only do something unexpected once.
The second time will be completely ineffective.
Without the slightest hesitation, he stumbled, halting his retreat, and then charged forward.
The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist was unleashed without reservation, striking the Primordial Realm expert of the Yellow Heaven Path like a storm.
A deafening roar echoed through the void.
The violent energy stirred up a raging storm and towering waves, preventing the warships from getting close.
Space is fragmented.
If any expert at the Primordial Beginning Realm dared to approach this matter, they would be torn to shreds by the violent power.
The Yuanshi Realm expert from Huang Tiandao roared angrily.
He kept retreating, and it looked like he was about to retreat into the celestial realm.
Su Mu remained expressionless, unleashing punch after punch.
He had been attacked and was now covered in wounds.
But he seemed completely oblivious to his injuries, and continued to advance step by step.
It looked like he was about to lead the Primordial Realm expert from Huang Tiandao into the Heavenly Realm.
The other party finally got scared.
The Huang Tiandao Yuanshi Realm expert who was blocking the way moved aside, clearing the path for him.
Just at this time.
Xia Zhizun and the others had caught up with Su Mu.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Therefore, everyone used their most powerful moves at the same time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless forces simultaneously struck Su Mu's back.
Without turning his head, Su Mu actually took the hit head-on with his powerful physique.
puff.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body surged into the celestial realm, as if swallowed by that dazzling nebula.
"go!"
Seeing this, Xia Zhizun and the others dared not hesitate in the slightest.
He roared.
Everyone simultaneously soared into the sky.
With Huang Tiandao's warships, everyone disappeared into the void at an unimaginable speed.
They had just disappeared when a cold snort came from within that dazzling nebula.
The cold snort echoed in the void, gradually fading away after a long time.
The fragmented space was slowly repaired under the immense power of heaven and earth.
The void returned to calm, with only a vast, dazzling nebula slowly rotating.
Those who entered the nebula also disappeared without a trace.
The entire nebula was like a gigantic millstone, and anyone who dared to approach it would be ground to dust, their soul and body annihilated.
…………
With the help of a single attack from the seven Heavenly Gang leaders of Huang Tiandao, Su Mu successfully broke into the Heavenly Realm.
He felt as if all the bones in his body had shattered, and after taking a deep breath, his powerful physique slowly recovered.
It was only because of his powerful physique that he dared to take a single blow from so many strong opponents.
Even so, Su Mu had made ample preparations.
He took off the armor he was wearing.
The armor was almost completely reduced to fragments.
This is armor he specially crafted to withstand opponents of the same level.
If it weren't for these armors reducing the power of Xia Zhizun and the others, even with Su Mu's physique, he would probably be dead by now.
From the very beginning, Su Mu had no intention of engaging in a decisive battle with Xia Zhizun and the others.
He had prepared to break out and leave from the beginning, so he prepared defensive armor in advance.
As he expected, he escaped and successfully blocked the attacks of those Huangtian Dao Yuanshi Realm experts.
Only then did Su Mu have the mind to observe the celestial realm.
He looked around.
They found themselves in a vast, desolate wasteland.
Beneath our feet was rough ground, and three dark red suns hung in the sky, the air thick with a scorching, intense heat.
"Is this the Celestial Realm?"
Su Mu frowned slightly.
This was completely different from the idyllic, serene paradise he had imagined.
In his imagination, the celestial realm should be like the legendary Heavenly Court of his previous life, exuding an ethereal aura.
But this celestial realm before us is far too desolate.
It's not even as good as the vast world of the past.
If it weren't for the heavy atmosphere in the air, he would have even doubted that he had come to the wrong place.
hum!
Su Mu clenched his fist and threw a punch forward with force.
A sonic boom erupted in the air, and the shockwave spread far and wide.
The space is unharmed.
Su Mu's face showed an expression of "I knew it".
With his current strength, most places simply cannot withstand his attacks.
If this were the Great Thousand World, even a slight movement of his hands or feet could cause it to collapse.
Even in the void, a single, all-out strike from him can shatter space itself.
Previously, when he fought against that Yuanshi Realm expert Huang Tiandao, the space within a radius of several miles was shattered.
Why do experts at the Primordial Realm always have to fight in that chaotic space?
Because their power is so great, there are very few places in the world that can withstand it.
If they act recklessly, it could very well bring about the destruction of the world.
But now, in this celestial realm, Su Mu unleashed a full-force attack, yet the space remained completely still.
This demonstrates just how stable the space in the celestial realm is.
Here, he can act without any scruples.
"Judging from Huang Tiandao's fearful appearance, there must be someone in the Heavenly Realm who is capable."
Su Mu pondered to himself.
The thought had just arisen.
suddenly.
A gigantic hand descended from the sky and reached out to grab Su Mu.
Su Mu was startled.
After setting foot in the celestial realm, he became more vigilant and constantly on guard against enemies.
But he didn't even notice the giant hand before it appeared.
As the large hand descended, Su Mu instinctively prepared to intervene.
He had just taken a step when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
The internal injuries could no longer be suppressed and erupted.
Having withstood the full force of seven powerful opponents of the same level, even Su Mu was ultimately injured.
Given some time, this injury will naturally heal.
But now that the enemy is attacking, his injuries have been aggravated as soon as he makes a move.
In that brief pause, a large hand had already grabbed Su Mu. The ferocious force nearly crushed every bone in Su Mu's body.
Even with Su Mu's cultivation level, everything went black before his eyes, and he almost fainted.
In the midst of the dizzying spin, Su Mu was thrown into a cage.
boom!
He was slammed to the ground, his internal organs churning, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Su Mu lay on the ground with a bitter smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, he, a powerful expert at the Primordial Realm, had fallen into such a wretched state.
However, that giant hand was indeed very strong; even at his peak, he might not have been able to defeat it.
Fortunately, the other party did not directly kill them.
Otherwise, things could get a bit complicated.
It was because he sensed that the other party did not intend to kill him that Su Mu gave up fighting desperately at the last moment.
If he really fought desperately, he was fairly confident he could escape.
However, if that were the case, it wouldn't be so easy for him to recover from his injuries.
After taking a few deep breaths, Su Mu felt the pain throughout his body lessen somewhat.
He sat up and looked around.
"Stop looking, once you're in, you won't be able to get out."
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out behind him.
Su Mu looked over upon hearing the sound and discovered that there was another person in the cage.
A disheveled man sat cross-legged in a corner of the cell, staring blankly at Su Mu.
Su Mu frowned.
He understood his situation clearly.
This was a cage with iron bars on three sides. Each bar was as thick as an adult's arm and emitted a faint glow, looking incredibly sturdy.
Beneath me was the cold stone ground.
Looking out of the cage, one can see a wide plaza with towering walls reaching into the clouds in the distance.
More than one cage stands in the square.
Each cage was the size of a room, and almost every cage held two people.
Where is this place?
Su Mu looked around as he asked.
The disheveled man gave him a cold look.
"You don't even know where this is? How did you get in?"
"That's what the man said."
"That's why they were captured because they didn't know where they were."
Su Mu, adopting a "what's done is done" attitude, calmly said.
He didn't panic.
He is currently injured, but once he recovers, he will naturally find a way to escape.
Even if he were at his peak, that hand couldn't hold him.
He was actually guessing in his heart as well.
He and Zhao Baiqi had previously discussed that the Heavenly Realm might be a trap.
Now it seems their guess was correct.
The Celestial Realm might really be a trap.
Lure people over, then arrest them.
The question is, what did the mastermind behind this arrest them for?
Su Mu sized up the person in front of him. This person's cultivation was not low, reaching the peak of the Primordial Beginning Realm, and was only one step away from the Primordial Beginning Realm.
Such a powerful being is almost a rare sight outside the Celestial Realm.
When Su Mu was outside, apart from the leaders of the Earthly Fiends of Huang Tiandao, he had never seen any other Tai Chu Realm Perfection experts.
Such a powerful being, could he only become a prisoner in the Heavenly Realm?
Su Mu looked at the other cages in the square.
Each cage was more than ten feet apart, with thick white mist permeating the space between them.
Su Mu couldn't clearly see the cultivation levels of the people in the other cages either.
However, it's likely that those people's cultivation levels weren't too low.
The Primordial Realm is probably just the threshold for being imprisoned here.
"Are you saying that people who are locked up here can never get out?"
Su Mu touched the thick iron railing with his hand and asked casually.
The railings were icy cold to the touch.
The moment he touched the railing, a sharp aura emanated from it, flowing into Su Mu's fingers like an electric current.
Snapped!
With a soft click, Su Mu's fingers were spread open.
Despite his physical strength, his fingers felt numb.
He turned to look at the disheveled man.
A hint of mockery flashed in the other person's eyes, as if they were waiting for him to be attacked by the force of the railing.
Su Mu's lips curled up slightly.
May I ask your honorable name, sir?
Su Mu cupped his hands in greeting and asked, "Brother, did you also come from the Heavenly Road?"
May I ask which planet you come from, sir?
"You can just call me Yan Liu."
The man looked at Su Mu with some surprise, seemingly not expecting Su Mu to be so unaffected after being attacked by the force on the railing.
"As for where I came from, it doesn't matter anymore; I've even forgotten it myself."
In retrospect, it was nothing more than bringing shame to our hometown.
"Indeed, a powerful expert at the peak of the Primordial Beginning Realm has actually become a prisoner in this Heavenly Realm."
Su Mu said calmly.
A flash of embarrassment and annoyance crossed Yan Liu's eyes, but it quickly turned into numbness.
A question flashed through Su Mu's mind: what kind of experience could have made Yan Liu, a powerful expert at the peak of the Primordial Beginning Realm, so numb and indifferent?
She was able to endure the insults he hurled at her.
"When I came from the Heavenly Road, I also met some young talents. They embarked on a journey of conquest when the Heavenly Road opened. I wonder if any of them are younger generations from Brother Yan's hometown if they arrive here."
Su Mu continued.
"I wonder if any of your younger relatives from your hometown would be disappointed if they saw you like this."
Yan Liu's face was completely expressionless, unmoved by Su Mu's words.
"Once you're here, you'll never have the chance to leave."
Yan Liu said calmly, "Since no one can leave, what's the point of mockery and ridicule?"
We're all just waiting to die together.
"Brother Yan, please forgive me. I had no other intentions."
Su Mu said calmly, "I'm just a little curious, who exactly trapped Brother Yan and you here?"
What exactly is their purpose?
Does it matter?
Yan Liu said calmly, "Everyone who comes here for the first time is just as curious as you are."
Before long, you'll stop thinking about these things.
“I think that you, Brother Yan, have never given up.”
Su Mu smiled slightly and said, "If you, Brother Yan, are truly heartbroken, then you should disregard my guess."
Like those other people, they didn't even glance at me.
Su Mu pointed to the people in the surrounding cages.
“Brother Yan has suffered a great calamity and fallen to this state, but I know that deep down you have never given up.”
You've always wanted to escape from here.
Or rather, you've always felt resentful.
Yan Liu raised his head and stared straight at Su Mu.
"so what?"
"What if I told you I could help you leave here, Brother Yan?"
Su Mu said.
"Haha."
Yan Liu suddenly burst into laughter.
"Take me away from here? What makes you so confident?"
I was just as confident as you were back then.
But I tell you, I have been here for a thousand years!
A thousand years, do you know how long a thousand years is?
Yan Liu's smile vanished, and he spoke through gritted teeth.
A deep sadness welled up in his eyes.
A powerful cultivator at the peak of the Primordial Realm was locked in a cage like a dog for a thousand years.
What kind of experience was this?
Su Mu was shocked, and his expression became serious.
"Let me tell you why."
Su Mu said slowly, "Because my name is Su Mu."
Because I am at the Primordial Realm.
Because I am the best weapon refiner and forger in the world.
"A mere cage cannot hold me."
Su Mu looked at Yan Liu, his eyes revealing strong confidence.
"Brother Yan, I need you to tell me who trapped you here and what their purpose is."
A look of shock appeared on Yan Liu's numb face.
He looked at Su Mu with some disbelief.
If Su Mu is truly at the Primordial Realm, then how did he end up here?
Are those people even capable of capturing Primordial Realm cultivators?
Furthermore, how could there be a Primordial Realm outside of the Celestial Realm?
This guy who looks so young is the world's best weapon refiner and forger?
Is this a lie?
"You may not believe me, but meeting is fate."
Su Mu continued, "Even if I am destined to be like you, unable to escape this place for eternity, Brother Yan, can't you give some advice from your predecessors to those who come after you?"
After all, it looks like we'll be living under the same roof for a long time.
Having someone to chat with seems like a good option. (End of Chapter)
