The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

In the lower realm, outside the Tower of Babel, a void rift suddenly appeared in the sky.

At the crack, a giant hand of Dharma Body, imbued with the intent of the Formless Sword, reached out and tore the crack open.

Dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, Chu Xiu stepped out of the crack and returned to the lower realm!

Tu Shan Wan, in her demonic form, and A Tai, the Titan Giant Ape, followed closely behind her as they walked out.

Chu Xiu casually waved his hand, and the void rifts behind the three of them slowly merged and disappeared.

Tu Shanwan stared at Chu Xiu's retreating figure, her fox-like eyes filled with shock.

Now, with Chu Xiu's help, she has regained her freedom, and the mark left on her demonic soul by the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler has long since disappeared.

She never expected that while she was only unconscious for a short time, Chu Xiu's identity had already changed from a gifted human powerhouse to the Lord of the Will of the Lower Realm!

She had no idea what happened while she was unconscious, nor did she dare to ask Chu Xiu for details.

The giant ape beside him had been trapped in the shattered space for so long that it had long lost its sensitivity to the aura of the lower realm.

But she had always been in the lower realm. When she woke up and opened her eyes to see Chu Xiu, she could feel an aura from him that made her want to submit to him.

This aura is something that even the spirit of the Heavenly Ruler of the Starry Sky Dao does not possess!

She had only felt this aura countless years ago from the white-robed phantom who single-handedly blocked the countless gods and Buddhas of the upper realm with his sword!

Only after that battle did she learn that the person was actually the Lord of Heaven and Earth in the lower realm.

Now, Chu Xiu has taken his place, surpassing the power of the Zhen Tian Ruler's spirit, and becoming the true master of the lower realm!

"Chu Xiu!"

"You've actually become completely integrated with him!"

"You! Damn it!"

The figure of the spirit of the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler suddenly appeared outside the Tower of Babel, its face ferocious and its roar hysterical.

The moment Chu Xiu returned to the lower realm, he sensed the arrival of the true Lord of Heaven and Earth, and he, the pseudo-Heavenly Dao, felt uneasy.

We must kill Chu Xiu completely, at all costs!

Otherwise, the task assigned by the master and the plans he has made over the years will be ruined!

Recalling his master's methods, the spirit of the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler turned deathly pale.

"kill him!"

At the command of the white-robed scholar, the spirit of the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler, all but the guardians of the 23rd and 98th floors of the Tower of Babel, who had already been killed by Chu Xiu, and Tu Shanwan, were dispatched.

All ninety-seven guardians appeared behind the white-robed scholar. Upon his command, they each unleashed their killing moves and attacked Chu Xiu!

Only the black-clad woman who guarded the highest level of the Tower of Babel remained standing there. Seeing her dear friend Tu Shanwan safe and sound, her eyes lit up with joy and tears welled up in her eyes.

Chu Xiu watched as countless puppets hurtled towards him, then waved his hand behind him, sending Tu Shanwan and Atai thousands of miles away:

"Leave this to me."

"Chu Xiu!" Tu Shanwan cried out urgently the moment Chu Xiu sent her away, "Don't hurt Ling Su..."

"Ling Su?" Chu Xiu looked at the only woman in black who hadn't made a move in the distance. Seeing her ecstatic expression, he immediately understood that this was the person Tu Shanwan was referring to.

"I didn't need you to remind me; I never intended to hurt these people in the first place."

These guardians of the Heavenly Dao, whose minds were suppressed by the puppet technique of the Heavenly Ruler's spirit, were all heroes who had reached their peak in this world over the years.

Since they were from this realm, Chu Xiu naturally wouldn't ignore them.

Now, as the master of this realm, he believes it is his responsibility to liberate his compatriots who have been enslaved by the spirit of the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler for countless years!

Wake up, my friends!

Chu Xiu channeled the power of heaven and earth, and with a wave of his hand, he instantly erased the slave mark planted by the spirit of the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler deep within the souls of all the puppets present, without harming the original owner in the slightest!

Chu Xiu could achieve this level of skill with just a thought!

This is the immense power that the Lord of Heaven and Earth can achieve when he is not suppressed by those in the upper realm!

"Impossible! Impossible!"

The scholar in white could never have imagined that Chu Xiu could do such a thing, erasing the slave mark he had left behind in an instant!

Now he is all alone!

The ninety-six experts who had been fiercely attacking Chu Xiu all returned to their original positions at this moment. The woman in black also felt a sharp pain in her head and then sensed that the slave seal deep in her soul had suddenly dissipated!

Those who can break through the limits are no ordinary people. After sensing the powerful energy of heaven and earth emanating from Chu Xiu, everyone present knew that he was their savior.

"Gentlemen, there is no need for further words!"

Chu Xiu cupped his hands and spoke, his powerful inner strength carrying his voice throughout the entire far north.

"Today is the day of death for the culprit who has imprisoned your souls for so many years!"

"Help me capture this scoundrel!"

As soon as Chu Xiu finished speaking, everyone's fierce gazes turned to the white-robed scholar.

At this moment, everyone's momentum and strength reached their peak under Chu Xiu's blessing of the power of heaven and earth.

Faced with this situation, the scholar in white turned even paler.

Even though he is the spirit of a celestial artifact, celestial artifacts are divided into those forged by nature and those created by human hands!

The difference between the two is like night and day!

Bound by the will of heaven and earth, no matter how strong his strength and realm were, he was ultimately only above the limit and below the void!

How could he possibly handle the ninety-seven experts at the Limitless Realm present, not to mention Chu Xiu, who had clearly broken through the Limitless Realm barrier and entered the Void Breaking Realm!

The white-robed scholar's expression changed drastically. He still didn't understand why his master had erased his mark as the master of a celestial artifact when he left this world, leaving him alone and uncaring.

Having been abandoned in the past, he was unwilling to bury himself in the lower realm. Therefore, he tried to kill the previous Lord of Heaven and Earth who was seriously injured and on the verge of death, intending to take his place. However, Chu Xiu reaped the benefits!

Is it a fight to the death?

Or should we offer our necks to be slaughtered?

The scholar in white immediately ignited his divine soul and fled towards the heavens.

He chose to run away!

Once he escapes this realm, only Chu Xiu will be able to pursue him!

With his immortal artifact body, he was able to withstand the pressure of the void power, but Chu Xiu might not be able to do so!

escape!

As long as I escape to the upper realm and find my master, I will one day be able to kill Chu Xiu and avenge today's humiliation!

The white-robed scholar's eyes were filled with madness. He reverted to his true form as the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler and fled towards the outer void with unparalleled speed.

But how could Chu Xiu sit idly by?

Faced with the escape of the spirit of the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler, Chu Xiu merely sneered, raised his right hand, and grabbed at the figure of the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler that was gradually moving away!

The white-robed scholar within a foot of him suddenly changed his expression. His fleeing figure froze on the spot as he felt an invisible giant hand grabbing him, making him unable to move.

"If I really let you escape, how can I explain this to the next ruler of heaven and earth?"

Chu Xiu directly manipulated the power of heaven and earth to pull the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler back in front of him. Then, he used the Soul Extraction Technique to extract the spirit of the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler from its body. Before the white-robed scholar could speak, he crushed the spirit after a soul search!

The spirit of the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler perished on the spot!

The man-made immortal artifact, the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler, is now truly ownerless, held in Chu Xiu's hand, emitting a faint, dark light.

The reason why a celestial artifact is a celestial artifact is that when it is born, it is accompanied by a natural spirit that endows it with special powers and abilities.

The Heavenly Ruler has now lost its innate spirit and should be like an inanimate object, having lost its power as a celestial artifact and becoming merely a material for forging.

Yet it remains in Chu Xiu's hands, radiating a light that represents its spirituality.

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow and immediately used his Qi Observation Technique on the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler to investigate.

"I see..." Chu Xiu exclaimed in surprise, his eyes lighting up with delight. "That scholar in white is merely the main spirit of the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler..."

"Unexpectedly, this man-made object, modeled after a celestial artifact, actually has a second accompanying spirit! However, this secondary spirit has long been suppressed by the main spirit and is still in its infancy..."

Even so, Chu Xiu was still quite excited.

The fact that there is still a young spirit within the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler indicates that this immortal artifact still possesses its power. Once it recognizes him as its master, it can be used by him!

Chu Xiu is currently lacking a weapon that matches his strength!

Judging from the power displayed by the white-robed scholar, the power of this Heaven-Suppressing Ruler seems to complement his status as the master of this world!

Chu Xiu flipped his hand and put the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler back into his storage space, intending to let it recognize its master at a later time.

Looking at the nearly one hundred powerful beings from various races native to this world, all floating in front of him and staring at him expectantly, Chu Xiu suddenly felt a headache coming on.

He had no idea how to deal with these powerful beings at the pinnacle of their abilities.

This is something only Empresses Murong Si and Tu Shanling could accomplish...

Then let's go ask them for their opinions...

Chu Xiu looked around at everyone, reached out and squeezed, and imprisoned the cultivation of everyone present, making them all temporarily ordinary people who could not use their cultivation, including Ling Su, the black-clad woman whom Tu Shanwan had specifically reminded.

Chu Xiu pressed his large hand into the air, silencing the panic and uproar among the crowd, and slowly explained, "Everyone!"

"My name is Chu Xiu. As you all have seen with your own eyes, I am now the master of this world!"

"I have restricted your cultivation levels only because I am unaware of your true strengths!"

"Please come with me. Once I know your identities, I will set you all free!"

"Today, you are all reborn! I will not hold you accountable for your past actions, so please rest assured!"

"Of course...except for the most vicious and wicked!"

Chu Xiu glanced coldly at the crowd, and was slightly relieved after not seeing anyone's expression change drastically because of his words.

Chu Xiu gave them no chance to refuse. He immediately waved his hand, using the power of heaven and earth to envelop them all, and then moved his divine sense.

The next second, everyone realized that their surroundings had changed. They were no longer in the far north, but in a prosperous and peaceful city.

The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
