In the palace at the top of the mountain, the Warlord sat on the main seat. He looked down at the people below with a pair of sharp eyes.
Zhan Wuying knelt on one knee, looking pathetic. When the Warlord's eyes landed on him, he couldn't help but tremble.
The atmosphere in the palace was oppressive. It was almost suffocating.
"Summon Zhan Wukong." After a long while, the Warlord's voice rang out. The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.
Soon, Zhan Wukong came to the palace and knelt down on one knee.
"Zhan Wukong, Zhan Wuying, listen up. The two of you attack with all your might and kill Chu Mu." The Warlord gave the order.
Previously, the Warlord's order was to capture Chu Mu alive and kill him if it didn't work. This time, however, he had to kill him. He could feel the threat that Chu Mu posed. Perhaps to him, a First Refinement Realm cultivator was like an ant. He could kill him with a wave of his hand. However, Chu Mu's potential was too shocking. He couldn't give him more time to grow.
Soon, Zhan Wukong and Zhan Wuying left the palace and the Imperial Palace. After finding out the approximate location of Chu Mu from Lord Zhi Shi, they quickly headed towards Chu Mu's location. However, it would take some time.
"To be able to kill Zhan Wuming and Zhan Wushuang, three of the Five Divine Generals are gone." The Warlord's eyes flickered. The Five Divine Generals were all cultivated by him. They had contributed greatly to him. Now that three of them were dead, his faction's power was greatly weakened. This was very disadvantageous for him. Therefore, the Warlord's killing intent towards Chu Mu and Kong Liu was exploding. However, now wasn't the time for him to act.
No matter what, he could be considered the leader of the Imperial Palace to a certain extent. He was powerful and had a high status. There were other reasons why he couldn't act rashly.
"Zhan Wukong and Zhan Wuying together can kill Chu Mu. As for Kong Liu …" The Warlord's eyes flickered. He seemed to be thinking and hesitating. After a long while, he said, "I'll let him live for a while."
…
Astral winds formed into streams in the sky, flowing endlessly like a river. Each of the astral winds was as sharp as a knife, and their power was astonishing. They could easily break through a Saint-level expert's Vital Aura Shield and cause damage.
However, at this very moment, there were four figures flying rapidly in the astral wind layer. When the astral wind blew on their bodies, they were directly blown away.
These four people were extremely handsome. Their auras were noble and faintly discernible. They were like gods in the clouds, high and mighty. They were members of the Celestial Race, the peerless powerhouses of the Celestial Race, the Celestial Race's Forbidden Guard.
"According to Tian Jizi's calculations, Chu Mu should be in the Heavenly Dragon Domain. We must find him and kill him." The leader of the four, Tian Dao Ji, said coldly.
"Captain, with the four of us attacking, that Chu Mu won't be able to escape even if he has three heads and six arms," one of the other three said. The other two nodded.
"For Chu Mu to be able to survive until now, it is undeniable that he is capable. Do not underestimate him." Tian Dao Ji said.
"Yes." The three of them hurriedly responded. Even so, the three of them still disagreed in their hearts. One must know that they were peerless powerhouses of the Celestial Race. Even though they were only at the first refinement, their bloodline was noble and their strength was tyrannical. It was obvious that they were stronger than the peerless powerhouses of the Human Race at the same level.
From the moment they were born until now, their experiences had been to suppress the geniuses of the Human Race and other races. They had long nurtured the arrogance in their hearts. That kind of high and mighty attitude of looking down on others could not be changed so easily. Moreover, he was just a junior of the Human Race. Even if his talent was not bad, he would not be placed in their eyes.
The captain naturally saw through the three's thoughts. However, as a member of the Celestial Race and a peerless powerhouse of the Second Refinement, he also felt that Chu Mu was courted death by them. There was no chance for him to escape. The reason why he said that was only because he had more experience and was relatively more cautious. That was all.
…
In a more deserted area of the Sky Dragon Mountain Range, there was a cave that had just been excavated. Layers of seals had been set up to conceal all auras and the entrance of the cave was hidden. Chu Mu was sitting in the depths of the cave.
With a wave of his hand, a row of blood-red egg-sized beads appeared. There were a total of thirty of them. These were the Blood Essence Pills.
Every Blood Essence Pill came from a powerful beast, spiritual beast or strange beast. Every beast was at the peak of the Nine Star Saint level. Their strength was far stronger than ordinary Nine Star Saints. They were at least at the Dark Star level, and the stronger ones were even at the Bright Sun level.
It wasn't that there weren't any peerless powerhouse level beasts in the Sky Dragon Mountain Range. There were, and there was more than one. However, Chu Mu didn't touch them. That was because the peerless powerhouse level beasts were intelligent. Their strength was terrifying. It was almost equivalent to the combination of the Way of Yuan Li and the Way of the Sage Body. Their battle strength was shocking. Even if he could win, it would be a tough battle.
Moreover, although the Blood Refinement Evil Art was shocking, Chu Mu was only a beginner. It was too difficult to refine a peerless powerhouse level beast with his peak Ninth Level Blood Essence Pill. There was an eighty to ninety percent chance that he would fail. Finally, it was because of Chu Mu's own body. With his peak Ninth Level Sage Body, taking the Blood Essence Pill of the peerless powerhouse level would be too much for him to bear.
"Thirty Blood Essence Pills are completely enough for me to completely refine my Sage Body to the peak of the Ninth Level. Perhaps, there will still be some left," Chu Mu thought.
Opening his mouth, a Blood Essence Pill flew into Chu Mu's mouth. He swallowed it directly. The power contained in the Blood Essence Pill immediately spread in his abdomen. It was like a volcanic eruption, rushing to his limbs and bones.
His Qi and blood seemed to be ignited. It was as if they were on fire, surging endlessly like a tide, rushing to every part of his body.
"Refine!"
With a low shout, layers of blood-red ripples spread out in all directions. As the power surged, the Blood Essence in his body suddenly accelerated, driving the power of the Blood Essence Pill and merging it into his own Blood Essence.
Gradually, as Chu Mu refined the Blood Essence Pill, more and more golden color appeared in his blood. When the blood completely turned golden, it was the time when the blood in his body transformed into Blood Essence. However, that wasn't the limit. It was returning to its original state, turning back into a pure and perfect blood-red color. That was the true limit.
The golden color in his blood continued to increase. After a while, the power of the Blood Essence Pill was refined. Chu Mu opened his mouth and swallowed the second Blood Essence Pill, refining it again.
…
"Kong Liu, you actually want to become enemies with the Imperial Court?" Lei Ba's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
"Do you still remember Chu Mu?" Kong Liu asked.
"Chu Mu?" Lei Ba thought for a moment, "Are you talking about the junior in the Heavenly Ancient Divine Emperor's remains?"
"That's right. Now, he already has the strength of a peerless expert. He was chased by the Imperial Court and I happened to meet him. I helped him and the Imperial Court saw me as a thorn in their side, wanting to get rid of me …" Kong Liu explained the matter clearly in a few words. Lei Ba felt as if he was listening to a heavenly book. He didn't see it with his own eyes. It was really hard for him to believe.
However, he also knew that his good friend Kong Liu wouldn't joke about such things. In other words, it was all true.
"I can't imagine that the junior from back then has grown to such an extent. It has only been a few decades." Lei Ba smiled bitterly, as if he had suffered a great blow.
"Now is not the time to be emotional. Back then, you were also suppressed by the Imperial Court and had no choice but to submit. However, you still haven't let go of this matter." Kong Liu said directly, "You should know that this has become a shadow in your heart, restricting your growth. If this goes on, it might develop into a heart demon."
Lei Ba's expression changed. This was a scar in his heart and now, it was viciously reopened by Kong Liu. The humiliation of the past made Lei Ba furious. The aura around him surged and lightning flashed in the sky. It was really terrifying.
"In the past, there wasn't a suitable opportunity. But this time, it is the best opportunity." Kong Liu's expression was calm. He stared at Lei Ba and continued, "Chu Mu has great luck and his achievements will definitely be extraordinary. I believe that the Imperial Court won't be able to gain anything from being enemies with him."
Lei Ba's expression kept changing. All of a sudden, he was hesitant. However, he wasn't a decisive person like Kong Liu.
"Okay, I will go crazy with you this time." Lei Ba said fiercely.
"That's right." Kong Liu smiled, "Apart from you, there are a few other good friends who have suffered at the hands of the Imperial Court."
Kong Liu was a good person and had many connections. Hence, he had some good friends. Coincidentally, they had all suffered at the hands of the Imperial Court.
"Then, let's go." Lei Ba smiled. Since he had made his decision, he wouldn't hesitate anymore.
Since he had decided to be enemies with the Imperial Court, then the stronger he was, the better. After all, the Imperial Court was an extremely strong existence.
…
"Chu Mu's aura is in this direction."
The Divine Guard captain took out a compass. After making some calculations, the compass needle pointed to a direction. His eyes immediately lit up and he quickly flew towards Chu Mu with his three subordinates. That was the temporary cave Chu Mu had opened up in Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range.
Refine, refine, refine.
There was more and more gold in the blood while the red became less and less. In the end, the red turned into gold.
His blood had all turned into essence blood. The golden color rippled and a powerful energy surged, filling his entire body.
"Not enough, still not enough. I haven't reached the true limit."
"Continue to refine."
He took another essence blood pill. This time, he took three. An even more powerful energy rushed through the essence blood. It seemed to go berserk and wanted to destroy Chu Mu's essence blood.
However, the blood essence contained a powerful force that constantly dissolved the impact, absorbing and refining it into the blood essence. It constantly strengthened the power contained in the blood essence, making it more and more powerful and vigorous.
Under the essence blood, Chu Mu's saint body was also strengthened. At the same time, the four Divine Guards approached.
