Seeing this, the people around them began to act one after another. It was definitely much easier to seize the seal from Xu Mu than from Youhuo.
"Brother! Don't listen to him. Give me the seal in your hand, and I'll give you a ton of spirit stones."
Zilan Yin said with a smiling face.
Xu Mu also laughed. The God Battlefield was the place where spirit stones were the most abundant. How could someone use such a useless thing to buy the seal?
"They are all bullying you. I think you can see that, but I, Tian Bufan, won't. As long as you give me the two seals, I'll protect you."
Tian Bufan stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at Xu Mu with his slanting eyes.
"Hehe! Tian Bufan, what can you use to protect him? Your Eighth - Rank expert hasn't arrived yet!"
Youhuo grinned.
Buzz!
Just then, several people appeared on top of one of the buildings in the distance.
One of them was an Eighth - Rank expert of the Tian Clan.
Like Tian Bufan, he was also wearing a Taoist robe with gold trim. He had a goatee and landed beside Tian Bufan in the blink of an eye.
Tian Bufan said calmly, "Here he is."
Suddenly, Youhuo burst into laughter and transformed into a purple flame, instantly appearing in front of Xu Mu.
His hand turned into a claw and lunged towards Xu Mu's neck.
Hathaway crossed her arms, holding her own seal, with no intention of making a move at all.
Xu Mu could fight her to a draw. When dealing with the rest of these people, he would only be stronger.
Boom!
First, Xu Mu sent a mental message to Fu Jinyu and the others, telling them not to act rashly.
Then he took a step back and swung his sword.
The Burning Heaven Sword Qi wrapped around the black sword and struck Youhuo's palm.
The terrifying sword qi broke through Youhuo's qi defense, making his palm bleed.
"You stinky brat! How dare you hurt me..."
Bang!
Before Youhuo could finish his sentence, Xu Mu gave him a flying knee to the chest.
The terrifying force instantly sent Youhuo flying. He skipped across the desert in the distance like a stone on water, bouncing several times before coming to a stop.
Seeing this, except for those who knew Xu Mu, almost everyone else around was stunned.
One could hide their cultivation level, but the released qi couldn't be hidden.
All the experts present could clearly sense that the grade of Xu Mu's qi was indeed at the Mortal - Detachment Realm.
Yet he had sent Youhuo, a genius of the Nine Nether Clan, flying with a single blow.
What a terrifying talent!
Zilan Yin frowned slightly. Before, when Xu Mu blocked her crescent - shaped attack, she hadn't paid much attention.
She didn't deny that Xu Mu was a genius. She could also fight beyond her level, and she hadn't used her full strength at that time.
But she didn't expect that Xu Mu could fight so far beyond his level. Youhuo was at the peak of the Second - Rank of the Realm - Breaking Realm!
Mu Changfeng also gasped. This Xu Mu was really amazing.
Although he had verbally promised to help Xu Mu and the others, when it came to fighting against the four major races, he still had to think twice.
Now that Xu Mu had taken action himself, he felt relieved.
"Truly underestimated. I can exchange the seal with you, but if you want to snatch it from me, you have to beat me first."
As Xu Mu was speaking, the desert in the distance suddenly exploded, and countless yellow sands shot up into the sky.
"Ants!"
Youhuo was furious. The purple flame on his body became deeper and deeper, finally turning black - purple.
Especially the young generation of the other major races standing beside them. They had been sent flying by a young man at the Mortal - Detachment Realm. If they didn't kill him, everyone would laugh at them in the future.
In Youhuo's hand, a long knife appeared. He stepped on the desert.
With a loud boom, he came in front of Xu Mu again.
"Yellow Spring Sword Qi!"
Black - purple light attached to Youhuo's long knife as he continuously attacked Xu Mu.
"Xu Mu, be careful! This is a Heavenly - Ranked technique of the Nine Nether Clan. It can reduce your spiritual power!"
Hathaway reminded from afar.
Xu Mu grinned. Spiritual power?
If the opponent's weapon hadn't been a big knife, Xu Mu would have even stood still and let him try to reduce his spiritual power for a while.
Whoosh!
Xu Mu activated his Spiritual Vein Armament, and red threads appeared all over his body.
It had to be said that the geniuses of these major races were really different. If he had encountered an ordinary Second - Rank expert, Xu Mu could have suppressed him in his normal state.
But facing this Youhuo, Xu Mu found that he was being suppressed in his normal state.
After activating the Spiritual Vein Armament, the situation of the battle instantly reversed.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...
The collision between the qi on the weapons and the techniques made the earth tremble with each strike.
Even the yellow sand a thousand meters away collapsed due to the vibration.
Youhuo's face showed more and more shock. Who on earth was this kid?
With a body at the Mortal - Detachment Realm, every attack made his arm ache from the shock.
His Yellow Spring Sword Qi was easily blocked, and he hadn't even landed a single blow on Xu Mu.
"Damn it! Nine Nether Dead Qi!"
The flame on Youhuo's earring suddenly spread several meters and turned into a black, transparent barrier that enveloped both Youhuo and Xu Mu.
"Xu Mu!"
Seeing this, Hathaway immediately burst out with her power, but the space in front of her suddenly compressed.
Instantly, Leng Xing, the Eighth - Rank expert of the Nine Nether Clan, blocked in front of her.
"Miss Hathaway, I hope you won't get involved."
"Shameless! Using your Dead Qi to deal with someone at the Mortal - Detachment Realm. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if this gets out?"
Hathaway growled and directly took out the divine hammer in her hand.
Seeing this, Leng Xing stepped aside on his own initiative. The Dead Qi was a Divine - Ranked technique of the Nine Nether Clan.
It was a spiritual - power technique. The reason this technique was so powerful was that it could be accumulated, and the Dead Qi could be stored through a formation.
For example, with Youhuo at present, if all the Dead Qi in his earring erupted at once.
Even Fifth - Rank and Sixth - Rank experts would be affected.
Just now, he could sense that Youhuo had erupted more than half of his Dead Qi at once.
This amount would make not only someone at the Mortal - Detachment Realm but even Third - Rank and Fourth - Rank experts stand still on the spot, let alone Xu Mu who was only at the Mortal - Detachment Realm.
As an Eighth - Rank expert, Leng Xing could tell that Xu Mu's physique was extremely strong.
But spiritual power was something innate. Generally, people could only enhance their spiritual power as time passed or their cultivation level increased.
It was almost impossible to cultivate spiritual power.
This was the reason why Leng Xing stepped aside on his own initiative. He had blocked Hathaway for a few seconds, and the battle must have been over.
Hathaway looked into the distance, her eyes wide in disbelief.
Leng Xing smiled faintly. What was there to be shocked about? It was normal for someone who had been hit by the Dead Qi to be killed.
When he looked into the distance, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out, because it wasn't Xu Mu who had fallen, but Youhuo!
Xu Mu waved the long sword in his hand and said calmly, "Your strength is still far behind Hathaway's. I didn't take your life because I'm merciful."
Of course, he wouldn't say that he didn't kill Youhuo because having one more person to transfer the damage was useful.
Everyone around was stunned when they saw this.
Zilan Yin couldn't believe it at all. Even in her sleep, if she was hit by the Dead Qi, she would be stunned.
Xu Mu didn't show the slightest sign of being affected. How strong was his spiritual power?
"How is this possible?"
Leng Xing's pupils shrank suddenly, and he instantly rushed towards Xu Mu to attack him.

s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
