Under the fiery red sky, on the reddish-brown land, a red mountain stood tall and motionless.
The red mountain was called Scarlet Flame Mountain. There was a group of palaces on Scarlet Flame Mountain, the Scarlet Flame Palace.
At this moment, figures with terrifying auras flew out from the Scarlet Flame Palace. They flew across the sky and headed out of Scarlet Flame Mountain. These people were all Great Emperors from the Scarlet Flame Palace. There were more than ten of them.
For example, the Azure Holy Palace in the Azure Domain was the most powerful sect in the entire domain. However, there were no more than 20 Great Emperor Realm experts in the Holy Palace. The Scarlet Blaze Palace was only the number one sect in the Scarlet Blaze Territory. In the entire domain, it was only ranked in the top five. However, there were more than 40 Great Emperor Realm experts in it.
At this moment, all forty-five Great Emperors were on the move. They formed groups of two or three to search for the culprit.
"Who dares to attack the Great Emperors of the Scarlet Flame Palace?" Great Emperor Light Thunder seemed to be talking to himself.
"I don't know who has the guts," Great Emperor Sun Yan replied casually.
Shadow-cloning Sword Emperor did not speak.
In the entire Scarlet Flame Palace, the Palace Master Scarlet Dragon was the strongest. Next was Shadow-cloning Sword Emperor, followed by Great Emperor Light Thunder and Great Emperor Sun Yan. They were all Third Step Great Emperors. In addition, there were a few Third Step Great Emperors in the Scarlet Flame Palace.
Chu Mu hid himself well and restrained all of his aura. If he wanted to hide, even Third Step Great Emperors would not be able to find him unless he was a Dominator.
However, Chu Mu had already found out that the Dominator Ancestor Scarlet Flame of the Scarlet Flame Palace had left a few years ago. He had yet to return. This was also the reason why Chu Mu dared to kill the Great Emperors of the Scarlet Flame Palace in the territory of the Scarlet Flame Palace.
Chu Mu was still no match for a third step great emperor. Therefore, he would not attack a third step great emperor. In fact, he would not even attack a second step great emperor at the limit or peak second step great emperor at the moment, unless there was a very good opportunity.
Hence, Chu Mu had his eyes on the experts below the peak of the Second Step Great Emperor Realm.
The three First Step Great Emperors from the Scarlet Blaze Palace formed a team and flew away from the Scarlet Blaze Palace to search for any suspicious traces. Since Ancestor Scarlet Blaze was not around, they had no better idea than this.
The Great Emperor Realm experts of the Crimson Blaze Palace were dispatched in unison, which obviously alarmed the other sects in the Crimson Blaze Territory. They were all bewildered, not knowing what was going on.
Chu Mu had his eyes on the three One-step Great Emperors from the Red Blaze Palace and was following them secretly.
Not to mention a First Step Great Emperor, a Second Step Great Emperor, or even a Third Step Great Emperor, would have a hard time finding Chu Mu.
Chu Mu was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, he was following them secretly, waiting for a suitable place to strike.
Ever since he was hunted down over twenty years ago and was ambushed when he was about to leave the Azure Region, Chu Mu held a grudge against the Scarlet Blaze Palace. Bai Gaoran could only be considered an accomplice, an accomplice who was ordered to do so. The culprit was someone from the Scarlet Blaze Palace. Hence, killing Bai Gaoran would not be considered as revenge.
Increasing his cultivation base and strength to take revenge on the Scarlet Blaze Palace was one of Chu Mu's goals for cultivation. It was not a big goal, but it had to be done.
The three One-step Great Emperors were naturally on high alert. However, their strength was far from Chu Mu's.
All of a sudden, Chu Mu came from afar, using the second level of the World's End Near at Hand Body. In an instant, he was tens of thousands of meters away. The Heavenly Wind Sword rose like a gentle breeze.
The three One-step Great Emperors did not notice at all. The sword had already pierced through their heads from the side, through their temples. It was like a barbecued meat skewer.
The moment the Heavenly Wind Sword pierced through their heads, their souls were also torn apart. Without making any sound, the three One-step Great Emperors died instantly. Their corpses were stored in Chu Mu's Interspatial Ring.
After killing the three One-step Great Emperors from the Scarlet Blaze Palace, Chu Mu used the second level of the World's End Near at Hand Body and left instantly.
His speed was fast, but the Scarlet Blaze Palace's reaction was not slow either. Not long after, a Third Step Great Emperor arrived.
The Third Step Great Emperor's face was solemn as he carefully sensed the remaining aura fluctuations in the air. Soon after, he looked in the direction where Chu Mu had left and quickly chased after him. However, he did not chase for long before he stopped because the aura fluctuations had disappeared.
He was infuriated. He had clearly sensed the aura of the culprit, but he could not chase after him. That feeling almost made him explode.
The Third Step Great Emperor immediately passed the news to the other experts in the Scarlet Blaze Palace. At the same time, Chu Mu killed a few more One-step Great Emperors and Second-step Great Emperors from the Scarlet Blaze Palace.
The death of more than ten Great Emperors had driven the Scarlet Blaze Palace's Palace Master, Scarlet Blaze Palace's Great Emperors to the brink of insanity. As they could not find the culprit, they had nowhere to vent their anger.
The Scarlet Blaze Palace responded by notifying the other sects in the Scarlet Blaze Boundary to mobilize all of them to seal off the entire Scarlet Blaze Boundary and strengthen the search.
The carpet search was like catching a turtle in a jar.
Chu Mu also felt the tension.
He knew that he could not take any action for the time being. Otherwise, he would be easily discovered. In that case, he would not take any action.
He had to hide completely. Moreover, he had to hide close to the Scarlet Blaze Palace. The people from the Scarlet Blaze Palace would not expect him to be hiding so close.
Fortunately, the Scarlet Blaze Ancestor was not around. Otherwise, it would be really dangerous.
Staring at the palaces in the distance, Chu Mu suddenly had an idea. He had to sneak into the Scarlet Blaze Palace.
He had killed the Great Emperors from the Scarlet Blaze Palace. Currently, he could only kill the One-step and Second-step Great Emperors. As for the Third-step Great Emperors, he was no match for them.
In the past, the leaders were three Third-step Great Emperors. The three of them were also the people that Chu Mu wanted to kill the most. However, he was not strong enough.
If that's the case, I'll find a chance to sneak into the Scarlet Blaze Palace and wreak havoc, Chu Mu thought to himself.
However, sneaking into the Scarlet Blaze Palace was undoubtedly a very dangerous move. Without full confidence, Chu Mu would not do it. Otherwise, he would be trapped like a turtle in a jar.
He hid under the Scarlet Blaze Mountain and waited for an opportunity. Unfortunately, he did not find a suitable opportunity. The Scarlet Blaze Palace's Palace Master, Scarlet Blaze Palace, was still guarding the place and was very alert. Once he sneaked in, he would most likely be discovered.
Staring at Scarlet Flame Mountain, a crazy idea suddenly emerged in Chu Mu's heart.
"Collapse the entire Scarlet Blaze Mountain and destroy the Scarlet Blaze Palace." Once the idea popped up, it could not be stopped.
Perhaps this method was very cruel. However, back then, the Heavenly Network had chased after Chu Mu. If not for Chu Mu's good luck, he would have been dead long ago. How could he have gotten to where he was today?
With this idea, Chu Mu began to observe the Scarlet Blaze Mountain. The Scarlet Blaze Mountain was not a group of mountains. Instead, it was a huge mountain that towered above the ground. Chu Mu formed the Celestial Golden Sword and the Celestial Wind Sword in his hands and began to cut.
The rocks of the Scarlet Blaze Mountain were very hard. However, under Chu Mu's two swords, they appeared to be very fragile and were easily cut.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Chu Mu purposely restrained his own power. He even sealed the aura of his swords. Unless one was very close to Chu Mu, no one would be able to discover him. Starting from the foot of the Scarlet Blaze Mountain, there was no seal at all.
When he dug in, Chu Mu also used soil to seal the entrance. He used his mental strength to control stones to block it. It looked very natural. Not long after, Chu Mu dug a few hundred meters into the Scarlet Blaze Mountain like a drill. It was as if he wanted to dig through the Scarlet Blaze Mountain.
Of course, if he wanted to, he could do it. He just needed to spend more time.
After a period of time, Chu Mu dug a few thousand meters deep. At this point, his aura would not be easily leaked out. Chu Mu could use more power. His two swords continued to attack, his swordplay was displayed, and he kept cutting. His efficiency was more than ten times faster than before.
The furious Scarlet Blaze Palace Master Scarlet Dragon and the experts of the Scarlet Blaze Palace would never think of doing that. Just below the Scarlet Blaze Palace, at the very bottom of the Scarlet Blaze Mountain, a person was constantly digging, preparing to destroy the foundation of the Scarlet Blaze Palace.
The base of the Scarlet Blaze Mountain was very, very long. A few thousand meters was just a negligible distance.
Chu Mu kept going deeper. The first few thousand meters were only passageways with a diameter of one meter. After a few thousand meters, it became a passageway with a diameter of three meters. This allowed Chu Mu to dig in better.
The All Heavens Sword was a Great Emperor-level sword. Moreover, it was not something that an ordinary Emperor-level sword could compare to. The All Heavens Golden Sword was incomparably sharp, and the All Heavens Wind Sword was shockingly sharp. With two swords in hand, Chu Mu constantly displayed the All Heavens Sword Style. Its power was overwhelming. Sword Three was one sword after another. The Sword Light was concentrated and connected, converging into a river that surged forward endlessly.
Under the Sword Light, the rocks at the bottom of the Scarlet Blaze Mountain were cut open like tofu. However, the deeper one went, the harder the rocks became.
10,000 meters!
20,000 meters!
30,000 meters!
At this depth, Chu Mu's aura was completely sealed. This meant that he could unleash his power without restraint. Of course, it was best to condense his power instead of exploding it.
After a distance of tens of thousands of meters, one could be considered to have truly entered the Scarlet Blaze Mountain. His goal was to dig through the Scarlet Blaze Mountain in a crisscross pattern. After that, he would set up layers of explosive seals and other means to detonate them in one fell swoop. Once the Scarlet Blaze Mountain's foundation was shaken, with the addition of other forces, it would be shaken and collapse.
Thinking about it, once the Scarlet Blaze Mountain collapsed, the Scarlet Blaze Palace would be destroyed. Perhaps not everyone in the Scarlet Blaze Palace would be killed. However, the collapse of the Scarlet Blaze Mountain and the destruction of the Scarlet Blaze Palace would be a greater blow to the Scarlet Blaze Palace.
Thinking of this, Chu Mu's heart was filled with motivation. He did not have a good impression of this sect that had once sent many Great Emperor-level experts to kill him. At this moment, he was like an industrious ant, digging tirelessly to dig through the Scarlet Blaze Mountain.
