On the island, everyone is fishing, and I am the only one who has obtained the epic talent

"You all think that your level will limit your understanding of the rules and restrict your physical development."

"But have you ever considered that it's the pressure of transcending his rank that has led him to possess such abnormal power and numerous rules beyond his rank? Rather than saying his rank is a constraint, it's more like a protection..."

The Saint Emperor spoke incessantly, analyzing Mu Yu very seriously:

"Some people just thought he was taking advantage of the situation, relying on special abilities to penetrate the power of rules and absorb the divine strength within. But what if I say that he relies on his brute force to confront a fourth-level deity... or even defeat him?"

These words brought silence to the entire place. Elder Li and the others, who had just been planning to argue with the Holy Emperor, now felt as if they had just heard a fairy tale.

"A peak first-order demigod versus a fourth-order demigod?"

A big question mark appeared in his head. If he hadn't been worried that the Holy Emperor had really worked hard for so many years and had extraordinary strength and prestige, Li Lao would probably have cursed long ago.

“Your Majesty, would you like to listen to what you are saying?

The Rule Ladder test just now only showed his potential at best. If he could defeat a second-level Demigod, that was still acceptable, but to defeat a fourth-level Demigod... isn't that pure wishful thinking?"

"It means that he can stand shoulder to shoulder with gods with his mortal body, leap to the fifth level and crush the other survivors. This is simply impossible."

"Hmph, want to make a bet? Mr. Li!"

The Holy Emperor looked at the extremely anxious Li Lao and said cheerfully:

"It's a simple one-on-one fight between Sheng Ling and Mu Yu. They'll fight until the end. With us supervising the fight, it will be easy to tell who's stronger.

If your judgment is correct, then Sheng Ling will take over, and the future of the Holy Demon Sea will be handed over to him;

If Mu Yu succeeds, then we will follow my previous plan and initiate a counterattack against the Old Gods. At the same time, we will devote our strength to helping his weapon upgrade to the fifth level of the Demigod. How do you do that? "

Apparently, behind the scenes of Sheng Ling and Mu Yu, the Holy Emperor and many high-ranking officials still had different opinions on how to fight against the old gods.

Now that this disagreement was exposed, and Mu Yu felt the enthusiastic gazes around him, he immediately reacted:

Perhaps the decisions made by these people from the beginning to the end have already set a trap, and how to act at this crucial moment must follow the prescribed path.

"Heh... have you been tricked?"

Mu Yu wasn't surprised by the divisions within the Saint Emperor's camp. The radicals and conservatives were easily discernible from the text. As for the source of the Saint Emperor's confidence in his counterattack...

Mu Yu thought about his own talents and the "Saint Emperor's Great Record Supplement" and divine power that the Saint Emperor had just provided, and couldn't help but mutter inwardly:

"It's not a loss at all. As long as I defeat Sheng Ling, I can get the weapon upgrade from Master Li. But I'm afraid even the Holy Emperor didn't expect that I might not play according to his routine."

Mu Yu's psychological activities were unknown to others. During the "confrontation" between the Holy Emperor and senior officials such as Li Lao, Li Lao, who had hesitated for a long time, finally spoke:

"Okay, let's take a gamble. We must correct the decision made by the Holy Emperor this time. Otherwise, if we make one wrong move, we will inevitably face a world-destroying disaster.

It's just a matter of upgrading a few main weapons to the fifth level of the Demigod. If you have enough materials, what's the difficulty?"

"A word is settled!"

The Holy Emperor nodded. With Sheng Ling full of fighting spirit and other strong men consciously making way, only Mu Yu and Sheng Ling were left in the huge open space to confront each other.

"Uh... I think everyone has made a mistake."

As everyone's eyes focused on him, closely watching his every move, Mu Yu, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke calmly:

"First of all, I have no desire for the position of successor to the Holy Emperor. I don't care whether he is the savior or not.

Secondly, I just want to save humanity from the apocalyptic natural disaster. This is not for the so-called greater good, but for my own confidants and relatives. If you put these shackles on me directly, it will make it difficult for me to move forward.

The last point, and the most important one, is that I am very concerned about the bet between the Holy Emperor and Elder Li, and it does require the bet condition of weapon advancement.

So, no matter what, this battle—I will win!"

After three consecutive explanations, the expressions of the powerful people present, including the Holy Emperor and Elder Li, were wonderful.

"This kid..."

The Holy Emperor waved his fan, his expression hidden under the feathers, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he seemed to be more interested in and confident about Mu Yu.

At this moment, Li Lao's face flushed, and he almost slapped Mu Yu with a big slap. "You kid, didn't you say you didn't care? You made things so tense. Do you really think the protagonist always makes a grand entrance?!"

To upgrade your weapon, I'll give you an egg. You can go find the weapon refiner Xiao A Giao and see if he will pay any attention to you later!

She was angry, but after Mu Yu's pretentious declaration, Sheng Ling was speechless after hearing those extremely pretentious words:

"You're so good at verbal battles, but I think your ability is just average!"

Hmm... judging directly, the elements of Chuunibyou are extremely strong. After making a first impression judgment, Mu Yu also counterattacked:

"Brother, let me tell you right up front, you are the challenger!"

These two sentences blocked all escape routes. Amidst the different expressions of the Holy Emperor and others, a war was about to break out.

Golden light swirled around Sheng Ling, and the power of the Golden Spirit, originating from the Holy Emperor but distinctly different from it, burst forth. Thousands of giant metal swords formed directly into the air, transforming into a scene of ten thousand swords returning to their origin, quietly hovering above their heads.

"Suppress. Golden Spirit Ten Thousand Swords Kill!"

The overwhelming and domineering golden sword energy was flying, so strong that it was impossible to look directly at it, and it could even directly cut through the protective formations of strong men like Hai Dafu.

You have to know that this is a defense comparable to the first-level sub-god. It was able to withstand the nearly-powerful Mu Yu before without being defeated instantly by the Lord of the Holy Demon Realm. But in front of Sheng Ling who started to fight seriously from the beginning, it was not enough.

Sheng Ling's black hair danced in the wind, and the black tights fitted her body perfectly, outlining her figure even more impactfully.

But Mu Yu didn't look away. At the moment when the thousands of swords were raging, he spoke softly:

"The power of Taijin rules!"

Simple moves, counterattacks without any thought. Mu Yu didn't even use the Dragon Elephant Prison Body, but used the power of the Taijin Rule when he was promoted to the Demigod level to fight head-on.

The power of rules of the same origin and higher level was stimulated. The power that was too sharp to look directly at collided violently in mid-air. Sheng Ling frowned, but Mu Yu did not give him a chance to react at all:

"I'm not raising my hand to apologize, but bro, you still need to practice!"

The power of the Taijin Rule switched seamlessly, and the subsequent power of the Taitu Rule directly raised a cloud of dust:

"Sand Escape. Sand Waterfall Burial!"
