Although Xu Mu had no particular feelings toward the Great Wilderness Clan, he did have a favorable impression of Sheng Qiu.
However, he knew very well that if he helped the Great Wilderness Clan in front of these major races, he might become a public enemy of all the foreign races in the Inner Realm.
That would create no small amount of trouble for his future plans.
Although Sheng Qiu’s Destiny level was seven, she was not the female lead of anyone’s story.
Just as Xu Mu was hesitating, the space before Sheng Qiu suddenly compressed, and a black-robed figure appeared in front of her.
Crack!
The crescent-shaped attacks were destroyed with ease.
Xu Mu narrowed his eyes slightly. The man was none other than An Ce of the Sky Demon Clan. He had not expected An Ce to choose to stand on the Great Wilderness Clan’s side after all.
“So many of you ganging up on a girl—isn’t that going a little too far?”
An Ce stood in front of Sheng Qiu and spoke in a calm tone.
“Who are you?”
Zilan Yin pointed at An Ce and snorted. “Do you know what helping the Great Wilderness Clan means?”
“Of course he does!”
Cheng Xiang, an eighth-stage expert from the Black Moon Clan, slowly descended beside Zilan Yin. “From the qi he released just now, I could tell that he’s from the Sky Demon Clan.”
Leng Xing also landed beside Youhuo. The flames on one of his earrings had already gone out.
“You Sky Demon Clan members really are incorrigible. Normally, when we encounter you, we can at most turn a blind eye. I never thought you’d actually dare to stand with the Great Wilderness Clan.”
“So that’s how it is. They were allies all along!”
Only after hearing the man’s identity did Zilan Yin finally understand.
“And he’s not the only one.”
As Cheng Xiang spoke, he pointed toward Fu Jinyu and the others. “The shockwaves from our battle just now were blocked by their qi as well. There’s more than one member of the Sky Demon Clan.”
At this, the experts of the other races nearby all charged toward them.
Xu Mu had already been struggling with whether or not he should intervene, but after seeing this, he had no choice.
Whoosh!
Xu Mu transformed into a streak of light and blocked the way in front of Fu Jinyu and the others.
“You’re targeting the Sky Demon Clan of the Inner Realm, but the two people behind me are from the Sky Demon Clan of the Outer Realm. They’re with me, so you can’t touch them!”
After saying this, he immediately sent a voice transmission to An Linghui, telling her to leave his side.
She was not a member of the Sky Demon Clan. No matter how this battle turned out, she would not be caught up in it.
An Linghui nodded slightly and took the initiative to retreat.
“Xu Mu! What are you afraid of? Do you really think I grew up scared of people? Bring it on!”
Fu Jinyu pulled off his black robe, revealing his face.
“Can you stop being so arrogant? I’m bound to you now, too.”
Nalan Shisan reluctantly removed her black robe and shot Fu Jinyu a glance.
“Xu Mu! You’re talking nonsense. What do you mean, the Sky Demon Clan of the Inner Realm and the Outer Realm? They were standing together just now, so obviously they’re all on the same side!”
Wu Tian had finally found his opportunity. This was a once-in-a-thousand-years chance.
He would not need to act himself. The experts of the four major races were more than capable of killing Xu Mu.
“You and I are both descendants of Yan and Huang. Does that mean we’re on the same side?”
Xu Mu looked at Wu Tian.
“Stop spouting nonsense here! If they aren’t allied, then why were they together before?”
Wu Tian sneered repeatedly.
“That’s right! This kid is making sense. If they’re not on the same side, why were they standing together?”
Youhuo chimed in as well.
“I can prove that those two women aren’t from the Inner Realm.”
Hathaway turned her head toward Youhuo. “Our primary target is the Great Wilderness Clan. Don’t change the subject.”
“I’m not changing the subject. I know exactly what I’m doing!”
Youhuo pointed at Wu Tian and shouted coldly, “Kid! You want me to lead the charge for you? Then make your move!”
Wu Tian cursed him inwardly. Once he got the treasure, he would definitely chop Youhuo into pieces.
But this really was an opportunity. If he had to choose between the treasure and Xu Mu’s death, he would undoubtedly choose the latter.
Wu Tian said to the two black-robed men beside him, “Seniors, please lend me your strength!”
“We naturally intend to keep our promise to you!”
One of the black-robed men suddenly unleashed his power and charged toward Xu Mu.
Space twisted and compressed. In an instant, he arrived before Xu Mu.
Wu Tian had told him about Xu Mu’s ability to shift positions, so he did not rely on any technique. Instead, he used his powerful physique and threw a punch.
Xu Mu responded with a punch of his own.
Boom!
When the two collided using nothing but their physical strength, the yellow sand beneath their feet collapsed continuously, spreading as far as a hundred meters away.
The next moment, the black-robed man was sent flying backward.
Everyone around them was stunned. None of them could believe that someone at the mere Transcendent stage could possess such terrifying strength.
“Everyone, I believe you all know that I merely injured Youhuo. He holds a grudge against me and has joined forces with another enemy of mine to slander us.”
Xu Mu tightened his grip around the long sword in his hand.
“I’ll say it one more time. We have nothing to do with the Great Wilderness Clan. But if you attack us again, I’ll have no choice but to stand on the Great Wilderness Clan’s side.”
“Xu Mu! You’re truly arrogant. Anyone who didn’t know better might think you were a ninth-stage expert.”
Wu Tian sneered. “You’re merely at the Transcendent stage. What right do you have to swagger around here?”
As he spoke, the other black-robed man beside Wu Tian also moved.
“In that case, let’s fight.”
Xu Mu took out a pair of teleportation tokens and handed them to Fu Jinyu and Nalan Shisan.
That way, they could use the tokens to avoid injury if they encountered danger.
Whoosh!
The two black-robed men beside Wu Tian attacked Xu Mu simultaneously.
One was at the seventh stage and the other at the eighth. They moved so quickly that there was no time to react.
But Xu Mu had far too many ways to deal with them. As long as there were enough enemies around him, he could use them to his advantage.
Hum!
At the same time, the Great Wilderness Clan’s experts high above were being besieged by the eighth-stage experts of the four major races.
But in the next moment, Xu Mu exchanged positions with the old man.
Boom, boom, boom…
Several terrifying forces instantly struck Xu Mu’s body, but the moment they made contact, they vanished without a trace.
Whoosh!
All those attacks were redirected toward Wu Tian.
As he transferred the damage, Xu Mu also sent a black shadow flying from his body.
“Damn it!”
The instant Wu Tian saw Xu Mu use this technique, he guessed that Xu Mu would redirect the attacks toward him, so he immediately fled.
But the next moment, Xu Mu transferred himself onto the black shadow, while the attacks appeared directly above his head.
Hum!
Xu Mu once again exchanged positions with Wu Tian. Wu Tian, who had already escaped, was suddenly brought back into the range of the attacks.
“Your grandmother’s—”
Boom!
The terrifying attacks instantly transformed into a radiance that spread outward, engulfing everyone in the area.
Even with Li Poshan protecting him, Wu Tian was blasted away, blood spraying from his mouth.
[Destiny Power -30]
Taking advantage of the momentum, Xu Mu suddenly flew toward Wu Tian.
While flying, he abruptly unleashed Final Spark. Qi as red as blood continuously erupted from his body.
He was like a bolt of crimson lightning, closing in on Wu Tian in the blink of an eye.
However, the two black-robed men blocked Xu Mu’s attack from either side.
Boom!
This time, Xu Mu released one-fifth of his qi directly.
The crimson force erupted in an instant, spreading in every direction. It seemed as though the blood-red radiance was about to blot out the sky.
The storm that swept through the surroundings, mixed with yellow sand, sent even fourth-stage Boundary-Breaking experts flying.
Everyone around them was dumbfounded. That surge of power just now had actually been unleashed by someone at the Transcendent level?
[Heaven’s Mandate Power -10]
Wu Tian had already been injured, and now he had been caught in another explosion. His clothes were tattered, exposing the charred wounds beneath.
As for the two people beside him, their black robes had also been blown to shreds, revealing their appearances.

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."

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
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.
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
