The First Marquis of Daxuan

Black Dragon Ao Kun was full of fighting spirit, while the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I'm relieved about that."

Xuanwu breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself.

"If Su Mu really is a naive and innocent person, then if we follow him, we might end up dying a terrible death."

This at least proves that Su Mu is also cunning.

We may not need this, but we can't be without it.

The twelve guardians and those Dao Saint realm experts nodded in deep agreement.

They are now in the same boat as Su Mu. If Su Mu loses to Xuanxuan Shangren, their fate will not be good either.

Seeing that Su Mu was also cunning, they were not worried at all, but instead felt relieved.

The crowd even looked at Black Dragon Ao Kun with a hint of schadenfreude.

This cunning is perfect for Black Dragon Ao Kun!

Since that arrogant guy, Black Dragon Ao Kun, is so arrogant, it's good to teach him a lesson.

"Senior Su, could we use Ao Kun as bait to set a trap for Master Xuanxuan?"

Protector Niu pondered for a moment and asked.

Its eyes were filled with intense killing intent.

Previously controlled by Master Xuanxuan, it almost did something it would regret for the rest of its life, and now its hatred for Master Xuanxuan has reached an unprecedented level.

If among everyone present, who most wanted to kill Master Xuanxuan, Protector Niu would be second, if not first.

But the Bull Protector knew in its heart that it was no match for Master Xuanxuan.

Moreover, Master Xuanxuan is a man of deep cunning. If we miss this opportunity, it's hard to say where we'll find him again.

"Yes, we should set a trap!"

Others chimed in, their faces beaming with excitement, each offering their most ruthless techniques.

Su Mu was both amused and exasperated.

Master Xuanxuan is truly unpopular; he has offended these people to the core.

Their strength may be nothing in the eyes of Master Xuanxuan, but when their power is combined, even Master Xuanxuan might suffer a great loss.

The methods these people came up with were so outrageous that even he felt a chill run down his spine.

Therefore, you should never underestimate any enemy.

Others may not be as strong as you, but you can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days.

Even with cultivation levels as high as his and Master Xuanxuan's, it's impossible to be on guard against others' schemes at all times.

Think about it, Ao Kun, the Black Dragon, was once a Dao Ancestor Realm expert, but he was still tricked by Master Xuanxuan and almost died in a foreign land.

If these people were to unleash all the insidious schemes they've come up with, even Master Xuanxuan would be in for a major headache.

"I'm saying, when you're considering these things, can't you at least think about whether I live or die?"

"Black Dragon Ao Kun shouted unhappily."

"Anyway, you're at the Dao Ancestor Realm, you're tough, you won't die so easily."

Xuanwu said, "Do you want to kill Master Xuanxuan?"

"Alright, as long as we can kill him, we don't care about anything else."

"That's what Ao Kun, the Black Dragon, said."

"You can discuss this slowly, I'll break through this sand barrier first."

Su Mu said casually.

These people may not know, but Su Mu himself does.

Master Xuanxuan won't be back so soon.

Even if he were to devour the Black Dragon Ao Kun, he would have to wait until he had refined and absorbed the remaining blood of the Emperor Ancestor.

Even with Xuanxuan Shangren's strength, it would take at least several years to completely refine and absorb that drop of Emperor Ancestor's blood.

He can't possibly wait here in this desert for years, can he?

Since Master Xuanxuan is currently refining and absorbing the blood of the Emperor Ancestor and will not cause any more trouble for a while, he can try to find the Primordial Chaos Qi.

He was quite interested in that primordial energy.

With his cultivation level now at Su Mu's level, simply fighting and brawling is no longer meaningful.

Even with Master Xuanxuan, if Master Xuanxuan hadn't actively provoked him, he wouldn't have bothered with Master Xuanxuan's schemes.

For Su Mu, pursuing the truth of the universe was far more interesting.

Whether or not one transcends is not important; what Su Mu cares about most is the scenery of that realm.

Thinking of the innate primordial energy, Su Mu stomped his foot, and the power within his body exploded.

He gathered his strength briefly, and then soared into the sky.

boom!
The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist slammed into the sky.

The cracking sound echoed in the air, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the glass that enveloped the entire world.

The seemingly indestructible glass shattered under Su Mu's punch.

Before becoming a Dao Ancestor, Su Mu had to use every means to destroy some of these crystals.

Now, with a single punch, the entire crystal world is about to shatter.

Everyone watching was secretly alarmed.

Xuanwu, who broke through at almost the same time as Su Mu, shook his head and sighed inwardly.

Although both are at the Dao Ancestor Realm, it can't achieve the level of Su Mu.

This glass is incredibly hard; even ordinary divine weapons cannot compare to it.

Otherwise, Master Xuanxuan wouldn't have used it to imprison everyone.

However, even the arrangements made by Master Xuanxuan seemed utterly ineffective against Su Mu's iron fist.

"Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan, go somewhere cool and stay there. Trying to trap us with this crystal world is just a pipe dream."

Black Dragon Ao Kun laughed heartily, hands on his hips.

While they were talking.

The clicking sound was incessant.

The entire crystal world finally shattered completely.

Before anyone could react, Su Mu flicked his sleeve, and a force enveloped them all, then carried them into the sky.

boom!
Su Mu led everyone out of the Crystal World.

The world behind me is shattered, and darkness lies ahead.

After a dizzying spin, everyone felt their feet touching solid ground again.

Where is this place?

Everyone took a deep breath and looked around.

suddenly.

Everyone's expression changed.

"What a perfect example of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

The Bull Protector was deathly pale, and muttered to himself.

They were just feeling relieved that although Su Mu had given that drop of Emperor Ancestor's blood to Xuanxuan Shangren, he had left behind the Black Dragon Ao Kun as bait.

As a result, they suddenly realized that Master Xuanxuan was no ordinary person.

They thought that Master Xuanxuan had been tricked by Su Mu, but it turned out that Master Xuanxuan was no pushover either.

Perhaps Master Xuanxuan had already foreseen that he would not be able to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Huangshajie is actually located in such a place!

If they don't break through the Yellow Sand Boundary, they will be trapped there until they die.

Once they break through the boundary of the yellow sand, they will appear here.

"Desolate Tianyuan..."

The relaxed expression on Heilong Aokun's face disappeared, replaced by a solemn look.

It looked around, and an invisible aura emanated from it uncontrollably, showing just how nervous it was.

The rest of the people also looked ashen-faced.

On the contrary, Su Mu looked around with curiosity.

"Is this the Wasteland?"

He naturally heard the whisper of the black dragon Ao Kun.

The Primordial Chaos Qi that Master Xuanxuan mentioned before was located in the Desolate Plains. He originally intended to come to the Desolate Plains after leaving the Yellow Sand Realm, but he didn't expect that the Yellow Sand Realm was actually located in the Desolate Plains.

Once they broke through the barrier of the Yellow Sands, they landed directly in the Desolate Plains.

This saves him from having to search for the location of the Wasteland again.

"Huangtianyuan, the restricted area of ​​life..."

A Dao Saint Realm expert said in a trembling voice, "We're doomed, doomed."

He muttered to himself, as if he had gone mad.

suddenly.

He yelled and leaped into the air, trying to escape.

The speed of the Dao Saint Realm expert was extremely fast. He transformed into a streak of light and instantly arrived hundreds of miles away.

Just at this time.

suddenly.

A beam of dark light shot out from nowhere and landed precisely on the Saint Realm expert.

With a bang, the Saint Realm expert turned into a cloud of blood mist and then disappeared.

The audience was silent.

Everyone fell silent.

Even Su Mu's face showed a solemn expression.

His cultivation level was the highest, and he saw things the most clearly.

The dark light that killed the Dao Saint Realm expert was clearly a tongue of unknown length.

The tongue pierced through the body of the Dao Saint Realm expert with incredible speed, then rolled the corpse back in.

As for what happened to that corpse, even a fool could guess: it would become food for the master of the tongue.

Slaughtering in the Holy Realm is like slaughtering chickens and dogs.

Su Mu could do it too, but he might not be able to do it so effortlessly.

The owner of that tongue was definitely no less powerful than him.

The speed was so fast that even he could barely see it.

In terms of speed alone, the tongue was faster than him.

Having just arrived in the Desolate Plains, I've already encountered such a being; this place truly is a den of dragons and tigers.

Su Mu couldn't help but become more vigilant.

The power within his body slowly circulated, and his divine sense began to spread outwards.

"Absolutely not!" Black Dragon Ao Kun suddenly spoke, his tone more serious than ever before.

"Quickly withdraw your power!"

It spoke urgently to Su Mu.

"Ok?"

Su Mu turned his head to look at the black dragon Ao Kun.

"The only way to survive in the desolate wilderness is to prevent the creatures here from discovering your existence."

Black Dragon Ao Kun said in a low voice, "If you release your power, it will be seen as a provocation."

"If the desolate creatures appear, we will surely die."

Heilong Aokun was such an arrogant person.

Even though it was nearly killed by Master Xuanxuan, it never submitted to him.

But now, when Black Dragon Ao Kun mentions the Desolate Creatures, his face is filled with fear.

This made Su Mu quite curious.

"Have you ever seen a creature from the wilderness?"

He withdrew his power and asked.

"If I had seen them, you would never have seen me."

Black Dragon Ao Kun shook his head and said, "Let me put it this way: every time a Desolate Heavenly Creature appears, it marks a dark and turbulent period in the universe, causing widespread suffering and destruction."

Anyone who sees them will die.

Although I don't particularly like that transcendent being, I must admit that it was because of his existence that the creatures of the Desolate Sky were suppressed on the Desolate Sky Plains.

"Are the creatures of the Desolate Sky really that terrifying? Only those who have transcended the heavens can suppress them?"

Su Mu's face showed surprise.

Along his journey, he had seen too many dark creatures. Wasn't Xuanwu a creature from the abyss in their universe?

These creatures representing the dark side are mostly just different in their stance, and it cannot be said that they are inherently evil.

There are also good beings among the creatures of the abyss.

But judging from what Black Dragon Ao Kun said, this creature from the Desolate Sky seemed to be different.

"The creatures of the Desolate Sky are born to kill; their purpose in being born is to destroy everything."

The Bull Protector said, "They are the common enemy of all the heavens and the universe."

Are there many wild creatures in the desolate sky?

Su Mu looked around and asked in a deep voice.

Within their field of vision, they were deep on a boundless continent, with a dark gray, desert-like landscape beneath their feet.

The sky was overcast and dark.

The whole environment exuded a sense of oppression and gloom.

Su Mu sensed the power in the air and felt a maddening force emanating from it.

Spending too much time in such an environment can drive even a normal person crazy.

"Their numbers are not large."

The Bull Protector said, "The number of desolate creatures that have ever appeared in history is no more than the number of palms in a hand."

But every creature of the desolate heavens possesses power that transcends the realm.

A look of despair crossed everyone's faces.

Su Mu is indeed very strong. In a head-on confrontation, even Xuanxuan Shangren might not be his match.

But now they're facing creatures from the desolate heavens.

A powerful being that, according to legend, can only be fought against by those in the Transcendent Realm.

No matter how strong Su Mu is, he can't possibly defeat such an existence.

After all, Su Mu is far from being at the Transcendent Realm.

"We must leave here as soon as possible before the desolate creatures discover us, or we will surely die!"

"Protector Niu said in a deep voice."

"Senior Su, if the Desolate Sky Creatures discover us, don't worry about us. Let's all leave as soon as possible."

The Bull Protector's face showed a death wish.

It sees almost no chance of survival.

It had never heard of anyone entering the Wasteland and leaving alive.

"Walk."

Su Mu originally wanted to search for the Primordial Chaos Qi, but after hearing what everyone said, he didn't try to be brave.

Although he had never fought against someone in the Transcendent Realm, he had come into contact with the blood of the Emperor Ancestor.

When he refined the blood of the Emperor Ancestor, he also came into contact with the power of the Transcendent Realm.

The power contained within the blood of that ancestral emperor was far beyond his current reach.

He was certain that he was not yet a match for someone at the Transcendent Realm.

When it's time to fight, Su Mu will not back down in the slightest, but when it's time to be cautious, Su Mu will not act recklessly.

"Where to go?"

After leaving, Su Mu looked at Black Dragon Ao Kun and Bull Protector and the others.

Black Dragon Ao Kun was already at the Dao Ancestor Realm many years ago, and it had come into contact with many secrets.

Protector Niu and the others had followed Master Xuanxuan for many years and knew many things that ordinary people did not.

Their understanding of the Wasteland was clearly superior to Su Mu's.

"I do not know."

Protector Niu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "No one has ever left the Wasteland alive before, so I don't know how to leave here."

I once overheard Master Xuanxuan say that the Desolate Plains are endless no matter which direction you go; the space here cannot be understood by ordinary standards.

"Neither up nor down, neither forward nor backward, neither inside nor outside."

Black Dragon Ao Kun said.

"What do you mean?"

Su Mu frowned.

"I don't know," Ao Kun, the Black Dragon, shook his head and said, "This is a mantra passed down from our Black Dragon clan, which is said to be related to the Desolate Plains."

I don't know exactly what it means.

I never imagined I'd end up in a place like the Wasteland.

Su Mu's gaze swept over the crowd, and each person who looked at him shook their head to indicate that they did not know.

These people were all top-tier experts, but none of them knew how to leave this desolate wilderness.

"Since we're going to die anyway, why not ask some wild creature for directions?"

Su Mu spoke up.

Although they knew Su Mu was joking, none of them could laugh at all.

Master Xuanxuan's use of a borrowed knife to kill was truly ruthless.

They were sent directly to a dead end.

Just pin them down and kill them, giving them no chance to resist!

"Damn Master Xuanxuan, if Ao Kun dies here, wouldn't he be unable to achieve perfection?"

"It's a deep voice," said the Bull Protector.

"The fact that Master Xuanxuan was able to obtain the Primordial Chaos Qi means that he had been here before and left alive."

Su Mu pondered for a moment and said, "If he knows a way to enter and exit the Desolate Plains, then he can naturally come in to collect the corpse of Black Dragon Ao Kun."

"what do you mean--"

The eyes of Protector Niu and the more astute Dao Saint realm experts lit up.

"Yes."

Su Mu nodded affirmatively.

"If we can find the Primordial Chaos Qi, we might be able to find a way to leave the Wasteland."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"But we don't know where the primordial chaos energy is either."

Everyone said.

Wandering aimlessly in the desolate wilderness is not a good choice.

No one knows what the situation is like on the desolate plains, and no one knows where those powerful desolate creatures are hiding.

Running around aimlessly could lead to encountering some wild creature; that would be suicidal.

"Since there's no other way, let's try our luck."

Su Mu said calmly, and with a flick of his wrist, a tree branch about a foot long appeared in his hand.

He casually tossed the branch into the air.

The branch fell gently, pointing in one direction.

"Walk."

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mu strode towards that direction.

He calmed his breathing and walked forward like an ordinary person.

Everyone looked at each other.

Is it really that hasty?

Using tree branches to point the way?

They could see clearly that Su Mu hadn't used any force when he threw the branch up; the branch had simply pointed in a random direction.

Choosing which direction to take is a matter of life and death for them, yet they treat such a crucial matter as if it were a child's game?

Although they were somewhat speechless, no one had a better solution.

Separating from Su Mu now will only hasten your demise.

Following Su Mu, even if they encounter desolate creatures, Su Mu's strength would at least give them a chance to struggle.

If they were to encounter each other alone, they wouldn't even have a chance to struggle.

Since there's no other choice, we can only try our luck with Su Mu.

With that in mind, everyone quickly followed in Su Mu's footsteps.

To avoid attracting the attention of the desolate creatures, they all concealed their auras and walked forward step by step.

A group of powerful individuals who could clearly fly and escape into the earth are now behaving like ordinary people, not even daring to reveal the slightest trace of their powerful aura.

Fortunately, even with their aura concealed, their physiques remained strong, and their walking speed was not slow.

They walked for an unknown distance, and the surrounding environment remained almost unchanged, with endless wilderness stretching as far as the eye could see.

Fortunately, they did not encounter any wild creatures.

Just as they were feeling somewhat discouraged, a streak of aurora suddenly appeared ahead. (End of Chapter)
