Over two hundred Divine Guard corpses fell from the mountain range. They were strewn all over the place. It was a shocking sight.
With a wave of his hand, Chu Mu collected the Spatial Rings of the two hundred and fifty-six Divine Guard corpses. No matter what, there would still be some resources and treasures. Even if they were useless to him, they would still be of great use to the True Sword Sect.
At this moment, an unforeseen event occurred. Every Divine Guard's corpse lit up with a silver light that rapidly condensed into a dot. A total of 256 dots rose up from the corpses and gathered in the air. It was as if there was an invisible brush in the air that embellished those dots of silver light, quickly forming an outline.
The brush moved like a dragon or a snake. In the blink of an eye, an incomparably complex and profound ancient character condensed. It gave off the aura of the world, as if it had been born from the Heavenly Daos.
When Chu Mu saw these ancient silver characters, he had a bad feeling. Without any hesitation, he erupted with speed and immediately left for his dwelling. At the same time, he slashed out with his sword. A resplendent Cross Sword Light tore through the air in an attempt to shatter the ancient silver characters.
The ancient silver characters seemed to have a mind of their own. They chased after Chu Mu. They ignored the Cross Sword Light and directly pierced through it. In the blink of an eye, they closed in on Chu Mu. Unable to dodge, they sank into the space between Chu Mu's eyebrows. This change caused Chu Mu's expression to change. He hastily gathered his Spiritual Strength and other powers to examine the space between his eyebrows.
A flickering ancient character was embedded in the space between his eyebrows. It gave off a boundless aura. Chu Mu didn't know what this character was, nor did he know what it meant. However, no matter how he used the Eternal sword intent or the Annihilation sword intent, he was unable to cause any damage to this silver character, nor was he able to expel it.
It was as if it had found a home. It had taken root and didn't move at all.
Currently, Chu Mu couldn't sense any use of this silver character. Or rather, he couldn't sense any harm it could bring him.
Chu Mu liked to be in control of everything. Even if he couldn't control it, he would at least know what was going on. However, the current situation was not only out of his control, but he also didn't know what it was.
However, Chu Mu didn't think that something that appeared from the corpse of a Divine Guard would be anything good.
"It seems like I have to capture a peerless powerhouse of the celestial race alive and search their memories." Chu Mu thought to himself. He used a wisp of Eternal Sword Intent and scattered it around the silver rune. He didn't know if it would be useful, but he had to do it.
…
Among the celestial race, every peerless powerhouse would automatically become a Divine Guard. They would also split a bit of their primordial spirit light and inject it into their primordial spirit life lamp, which would be stored in the Forbidden God Palace. If the life lamp was still burning, it meant that the Divine Guard was still alive. If it was extinguished, it meant that they were dead.
In an instant, a total of two hundred and fifty-six primordial spirit life lamps had been extinguished. It had only been a short period of time. This meant that these two hundred and fifty-six Divine Guard had died at almost the same time. It was also very likely that they had died at the same place. This kind of unforeseen event alarmed the upper echelons of the celestial race. All the elders had appeared.
The elders all had incomparably solemn expressions.
At the same time, a total of two hundred and fifty-six Divine Guard had died. This was definitely a huge blow to the celestial race. From ancient times until now, such a loss had only occurred in the Ancient Era.
Two hundred and fifty-six Divine Guard, that was more than half of the celestial race's Divine Guard.
"Who exactly killed them?" One of the grand elders was filled with murderous intent.
They didn't connect the murderer to Chu Mu. After all, a few years ago, Chu Mu had been chased down by a second refinement Divine Guard of the celestial race. Even if his strength had increased significantly in the past few years, it was impossible for him to reach such a level. It had to be known that among the two hundred and fifty-six Divine Guard, there were twenty-six Divine Guard of the third refinement. One of them was even at the limit of the third refinement.
Under normal circumstances, the limit of the third refinement of the celestial race would be stronger than the limit of the human race.
The murderer they guessed was a group of people, a group of peerless powerhouses. It wasn't a single person.
"Tian Ji, calculate who it is that dares to make an enemy out of my celestial race."
With the help of the Heaven's Mystery Pagoda, it was a blur and was blocked. This was because Chu Mu had the Sealed God Compass.
"If the murderer is one person, then he must have been hit by the Heavenly Slaughter Curse after killing the two hundred and fifty-six Divine Guard of the celestial race. Tian Ji, use the Heavenly Slaughter Curse to calculate." An elder proposed a hypothesis.
Tian Ji used the Heavenly Slaughter Curse to calculate. The result of the calculation shocked every elder of the celestial race.
The murderer was actually one person, and it was someone they knew.
Chu Mu!
"That's impossible!" An elder exclaimed.
They were very clear about Chu Mu's strength. A few years ago, he hadn't even reached the second refinement. No matter how fast he improved, it was already very good that he could reach the second refinement. How could he kill two hundred and fifty-six Divine Guard of the celestial race?
But the truth was the truth. The Heavenly Slaughter Curse wouldn't lie.
The appearance of the Heavenly Slaughter Curse on Chu Mu meant that Chu Mu had at least killed a hundred Divine Guard of the celestial race in a short period of time.
"This person's growth is too fast."
"It seems that this old man will have to personally take action," an elder said. A shocking aura burst out from his body. It was definitely an aura that surpassed the fourth refinement.
Holy Venerate!
In the celestial race, those above the fourth refinement were qualified to become elders. But the strongest of the elders were Holy Venerates, and there was more than one of them.
The elders of the celestial race were going to personally take action. At the same time, the people of the nine kings of the Imperial Court also found out that the person who killed the Battle King was Chu Mu. Including the various grudges between Chu Mu and the Battle King, as well as all of Chu Mu's deeds, they all turned into an information book and fell into the hands of the nine kings of the Imperial Court.
They flipped through it with interest. Chu Mu's various deeds, rising up in just a few decades, made them very interested in Chu Mu.
"What an interesting person. I'm getting more and more interested in him." Diablo smiled evilly. He stood up and wanted to personally take action.
Not only did Diablo want to personally take action, the other eight kings also moved.
They had to take revenge for the Battle King. It was the same no matter who Chu Mu was.
Chu Mu didn't know that the Holy Venerates of the celestial race were taking action because of him, and the nine kings of the Imperial Court were also taking action because of him.
Chu Mu didn't know any of this because he was stunned by the changes in front of him.
He, who was in seclusion comprehending the Invincible Finger, suddenly felt a fluctuation in his pocket space. He checked and found that the four Deep Blue God Pearls were shining brightly.
The Deep Blue God Pearls shining brightly was something that had never happened before. At least, from the time Chu Mu obtained them until now, it had never happened before. Hence, Chu Mu temporarily stopped cultivating and focused on the four pearls.
The blinking became more and more frequent, and brighter and brighter.
"What is this foreshadowing?" Chu Mu frowned. He didn't know much about the Deep Blue God Pearls, so he didn't know what was happening in front of him at all.
Just like Chu Mu, at this moment, in other places, such as Cloud Heaven City, or the nine kings of the Imperial Court, as long as they had the Deep Blue God Pearls, the same thing happened to them.
The changes in the Deep Blue God Pearls caused the celestial race and the nine kings of the Imperial Court to temporarily stop their actions against Chu Mu. Compared to Chu Mu, the Deep Blue God Pearls were clearly many times more important.
When the eighteen Deep Blue God Pearls all appeared, the light they emitted finally shot up into the sky.
Instantly, a shocking change occurred in the sky.
Eighteen rays of deep blue light shot up into the sky from different places in the Deep Blue World. The white clouds in the sky instantly dispersed, and the blue sky was replaced by a deep blue color.
When the eighteen rays of deep blue light gathered, the light spread out, and the deep blue retreated, revealing a blank space in the middle. It was transparent, and then, some scenery appeared in the transparent space.
It was a place with beautiful mountains and limpid waters. It was like a paradise. However, very few people knew what that place was.
This scene only appeared for three breaths of time, but Chu Mu and many others remembered it deeply in their minds. They didn't miss any details.
It wasn't only the people with the Deep Blue God Pearls who saw this scene. Everyone in the Deep Blue World, as long as their vision wasn't blocked, could see this scene when they raised their heads. It was just that some people knew, and some people didn't understand.
This matter was very important. At this time, any hatred would be put down, and all competition for benefits would be put down. Because, nothing was more important than this.
When the scene in the sky disappeared, the light of the Deep Blue God Pearls also retracted, returning to their original appearance and falling down.
Chu Mu reached out and grabbed all four Deep Blue God Pearls in his hand. He sank into deep thought.
"Where, where is this place?"
"What does the change in the Deep Blue God Pearls mean?"
These two questions lingered in Chu Mu's mind. They also lingered in the minds of the people with the Deep Blue God Pearls.
"Could it be that the place where the pearls appeared is the centre of the Deep Blue World, where the World Spirit is?" A thought couldn't help but jump out of Chu Mu's mind. His breathing also became hurried.
What was his goal in coming to the Deep Blue World?
Even though he had gone through countless life and death battles and experienced many things, Chu Mu had never forgotten his original goal in coming to the Deep Blue World. He wanted to increase his strength so that he could complete his mission better. Now, he finally saw hope.
Originally, he thought that he would only be able to do it after collecting all eighteen Deep Blue God Pearls. He hadn't expected such a change. Otherwise, he didn't know when he would be able to collect all eighteen Deep Blue God Pearls. Perhaps he wouldn't be able to do it in his entire life. After all, the Deep Blue God Pearls could be anywhere.
Without any hesitation, Chu Mu also let go of his killing intent towards the Imperial Court. Or perhaps, it was only temporarily because he wanted to find the place indicated by the pearls.
