How could Saints fight against peerless cultivators? Especially when they were a group of peerless cultivators.
After a short while, the Nine Star Saints of the Imperial Dynasty died one after another.
They didn't feel any joy because those Nine Star Saints were just ordinary members of the Imperial Dynasty. Even if they all died, as long as the Imperial Dynasty didn't collapse, they could still nurture new ones.
The Ten Kings were the core of the Imperial Dynasty.
Apart from them, there were also the four strange and powerful cultivators who had appeared in the Tianshan Domain. Who knew how many of them there were in the Imperial Dynasty?
The Ten Kings and those mysterious and powerful cultivators were the ones they had to deal with. They were also the ones they were afraid of.
Because of that, they didn't run around randomly after killing the Saints of the Imperial Dynasty. Instead, they attacked and destroyed everything in order to force out the other strong cultivators of the Imperial Dynasty.
"Two Third Refinement cultivators and the others are at least Second Refinement cultivators." Zhi Shi estimated the strength of Chu Mu and the others. He was right about the other five, but he was wrong about Chu Mu because Chu Mu hadn't attacked since he appeared.
Zhi Shi himself was also a peerless expert. Very few people knew his true strength, but he knew very well that although he was not weak, he was only at the peak of the second refinement. He could not fight against a peerless expert of the third refinement. Moreover, he was best at the art of divination. In terms of combat ability, he could only be considered average.
"The Five Celestial Generals are dead. Lord Battle King is in seclusion." Zhi Shi thought. After Battle King came back, he left some instructions and went into seclusion. He didn't expect that Chu Mu and the others would be able to leave the Demon Burial Abyss alive. Moreover, they found the Imperial Divine Mountain and attacked the headquarters of the Imperial Dynasty. They slaughtered the Imperial Dynasty's soldiers and caused great damage.
Many palaces collapsed under their attacks and turned into ruins. Zhi Shi didn't dare to show himself because he knew that he wouldn't be able to do anything. He would only add one more life.
He was secretly anxious, but he didn't dare to act rashly. Right now, he was doing his best to hide his aura so that he wouldn't be discovered. However, if he moved, perhaps a little bit of his aura would be released and captured by the other party.
For a moment, Zhi Shi didn't know what to do. He had the ability to calculate, but at this moment, he couldn't do anything.
Not long later, all the palaces in the Imperial Dynasty collapsed and turned into ruins. One could say that on the surface, the Imperial Dynasty was wiped out. Of course, in truth, the foundations of the Imperial Dynasty were still there and could be rebuilt.
However, the death of the soldiers and the destruction of the palace was a heavy blow to the prestige of the Imperial Dynasty.
"Where are the Imperial Dynasty experts?" Lei Ba's eyes swept over and there seemed to be countless bolts of lightning in his eyes. Their goal here wasn't just to destroy the Imperial Dynasty's palace. They wanted to kill the experts of the Imperial Dynasty and weaken their strength. They wanted to eradicate the Imperial Dynasty.
However, the experts of the Imperial Court had yet to appear.
Just as Lei Ba's voice faded, numerous figures seemed to have broken out from the mountain and soared into the sky, appearing before the crowd.
There were a total of eighteen figures and all of them were wearing armor. Only a pair of emotionless eyes could be seen. They didn't seem like the eyes of a living person. Their auras were also extremely strange, as if they were between life and death.
The instant the eighteen figures appeared, Chu Mu's gaze landed on four of them. He was instantly shocked. Whether it was their aura or appearance, Chu Mu could recognize them. They were the four strange experts of the Imperial Dynasty that he had fought in the Tianshan Domain. They couldn't be killed, nor could they be destroyed. In the end, they had to use their attacks to break the space and create a black hole that sucked in the flesh and blood that Chu Mu had destroyed.
Logically speaking, the four of them should have died after being sliced into pieces by Chu Mu's sword and then sucked into the black hole. Even if they didn't die, it would be impossible for them to recover. However, the impossible had become possible. Right now, they appeared before Chu Mu and the others in perfect condition. Moreover, their auras were the same as before. They hadn't weakened in the slightest.
Actually, when the four of them were summoned back, their strength had been reduced to the extreme. However, their cultivation techniques were special and they recovered quickly. In just a few short years, they had completely recovered.
Right now, the Battle King was temporarily in seclusion. The other nine kings had been in seclusion for many years and wouldn't appear so easily. In order to protect the Imperial Dynasty, the Imperial Guards had no choice but to appear. This was originally their responsibility.
It was fine if they didn't appear, but once they appeared, they had to kill all the intruders. Only then could they prevent the news from spreading. They were still a hidden power of the Imperial Dynasty.
This was like a trump card. If others didn't know about it, even if they guessed, they wouldn't be able to make any plans.
The eighteen Imperial Guards surrounded Chu Mu's group of six. Each and every one of them emitted an incomparably terrifying aura. High second refinement, peak second refinement, extreme second refinement, half a step into the third refinement. There were even true third refinement cultivators.
With his sharp senses, Chu Mu discovered that among the eighteen Imperial Guards, there were three who had reached the third refinement. Two of them were at the initial third refinement and one was at the middle third refinement.
Such strength was already extremely shocking, especially when these Imperial Guards had the ability to not be killed. Even if they were chopped into pieces, they could quickly recover. Such an ability was extremely shocking and made people feel a chill in their hearts.
Chu Mu was completely certain that the middle third refinement Imperial Guards would definitely be more difficult to deal with compared to the other high third refinement Imperial Guards.
"You guys are the hidden power of the Imperial Dynasty, right?" Wang Sun laughed. His figure flickered and disappeared. After his strength increased, Wang Sun's concealment ability was even more shocking. However, he still couldn't hide from the third refinement Imperial Guards.
"Kill." The middle third refinement Imperial Guard, who was also the commander of the Imperial Guards, only said one word. His old voice sounded as if he had one foot in a coffin. It was weak and lifeless.
Under the command, the Imperial Guard didn't hesitate. He directly drew his sword and slashed out.
The eighteen Imperial Guards attacked at the same time. They didn't show any mercy. Once they attacked, they would definitely kill Chu Mu's group. They wouldn't give the slightest chance to escape.
The instant the Imperial Guards attacked, the rest of the group also counterattacked.
Feng Wuhen's sword brought about a terrifying storm as it roared. The strength of a beginner of the Third Refinement was fully displayed. The shocking sword light shattered the vacuum and everything in its path.
Xia Yongxun's Sword Light seemed to have turned into greyish-white snowflakes that fell from the sky. Unknowingly, there was a desolate feeling between heaven and earth. The greyish-white snowflakes fell. They were faintly discernible, as if they were illusory. However, they carried shocking killing intent as they attacked the Imperial Guards.
Kong Liu clasped his hands together and suddenly separated them. The space in front of him was also directly split by his hands. Terrifying cracks spread out and extended to the body of one of the Imperial Guards.
Lei Ba clenched his fists and retracted them. He fiercely attacked again, turning into two lightning dragons that rushed out amidst rumbling sounds.
Wang Sun hid in the darkness of the void, waiting for the opportunity to deal a fatal blow.
With the Eternal Spiritual Sword in hand, Chu Mu didn't hesitate. He directly used the Sword Domain Transformation, directly activating the power of the Eternal Spiritual Sword. Together with his own strength, he used a sword move — Eternal Vitality.
This move was the complete Eternal Vitality. Chu Mu had comprehended a new True Intent in the past two years. It was called the True Intent of Life.
Together with the True Intent of Sword and the True Intent of Life, the power of this move surpassed that of the Dao Cutter.
The lotus of the Eternal Vitality Sword Move directly hit a Third Refinement Imperial Guard. As the lotus spun continuously, it released an endless amount of power that continuously attacked the Third Refinement Imperial Guard's body. The armor on his body was torn apart, and his flesh was torn apart.
With his powerful self-healing ability, the Third Refinement Imperial Guard was constantly recovering. However, he was constantly being cut by the Eternal Vitality Sword Move. It was in a state of balance, and he couldn't attack again. He could only continuously resist the power of the Eternal Vitality Sword Move.
Now that Chu Mu had comprehended the True Intent of Life and integrated it with the Eternal Sword Intent, the power of the Eternal Vitality Sword Move had reached an unbelievable level. His purpose of using this move was to see if he could kill the Imperial Guards.
Based on the current situation, it seemed very difficult to do so.
Chu Mu slashed out again with Endless Growth Sword Style. With three consecutive slashes, Chu Mu attacked three Third Refinement Imperial Guards. As for the other fifteen Imperial Guards that had yet to reach Third Refinement, they were dealt with by Feng Wuheng and the others.
"Break!" The commander of the Third Refinement Middle Stage Imperial Guard was extremely powerful. He forcibly resisted the might of the Endless Cycle of Life and Growth Sword Style and shattered it with his tyrannical strength. The wounds on his body also instantly healed.
It seemed that the stronger a Imperial Guard was, the more powerful his self-healing ability was.
"We are the Undying Imperial Guards. We followed the Undying Saint Emperor to establish the Imperial Dynasty. Other than the Saint Emperor, no one can kill us." The Commander of the Royal Guards spoke with an aged and lifeless voice. That voice contained the weight and vicissitudes of life as if it had traveled through history.
"Undying Saint Emperor …" Chu Mu repeated this title. This was the first time he knew that the Imperial Dynasty had been established by someone called the Undying Saint Emperor.
Every Saint Emperor had his own title. For example, the Heavenly Ancient Saint Emperor, the Dao Emperor and the Demon Emperor of the Antiquity Age. With the word "Undying" as his title, the Undying Saint Emperor must be very terrifying.
However, so what? In this era, Saint Emperors didn't appear.
"Undying? Then let me see if you can really not die." Chu Mu's lips curled into a cold smile.
