Chapter 276: Killing Hunyuan Life
As soon as Shen Mu finished speaking, the Demon Pavilion Master laughed heartily.

"Brother Yuanyuan, you came at a great time. Our Shenji Tavern will hold a grand auction in three years."

“At that time, the Infinite Dao God Emperor who defected to the Wushi Ancient Clan will be present at the scene, and this God Emperor will also take out a unique skill he created, called the Infinite Chaos Secret Book.”

The Demon Pavilion Master paused for a moment, a trace of thought flashing in his eyes, and then continued, "Although this is the unique skill of the God Emperor, there are indeed not many people who practice this way, so its value is relatively not too high. With Brother Qiyuan's ability, I think there should be hope that he can afford it."

“But usually, those who want to participate in this grand auction are all powerful God Emperors. Occasionally, a peak King with extremely high wealth will be invited.”

"I see."

Shen Mu slowly stood up and bowed to the Demon Pavilion Master, saying, "Thank you for the information, Demon Pavilion Master. I will take my leave now."

The Demon Pavilion Master also bowed in return and said, "Brother Yuanyuan, take care."

After returning to Si Xuan's family, Shen Mu left behind a clone that could turn fake things into real things in his own mansion.

As for me, I went to the wilderness to hunt wild beasts and accumulate wealth.

……

Deep in the wilderness, in a vast mountain range, there stands a giant fire ape as huge as a mountain. Its body is burning with flames. Every time it swings its fist, it causes a slight tremor in time and space.

"A wild beast at the late king level... its value is simply not high enough."

Shen Mu whispered softly, and his voice was particularly clear in this silent space.

Infinite Qi condensed in an instant, turning into a sharp spear light, which shot into the body of the fire giant ape like lightning.

The power that would never be consumed was wreaking havoc in the body of the Fire Giant Ape. No matter how hard the Fire Giant Ape resisted, it could not annihilate this powerful infinite Qi.

"Ow!"

Accompanied by a wail full of pain, the blood and divine heart of the fire giant ape were completely annihilated by Shen Mu.

"A little stronger than the little black dragon. The ordinary ultimate realm is not good enough."

Shen Mu waved his hand, and the void ring on his fingertips flashed with mysterious light, collecting the corpse of the fire giant ape into it. Then his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, as if he had never appeared.

For more than a year, Shen Mu hunted everywhere in the wilderness.

Shen Mu disdained most of the wild beasts. The weakest of his targets had to be late king level, which was the ultimate realm.

Occasionally, one or two peak king-level beasts would appear in his field of vision. These invincible beasts were extremely difficult to hunt, and usually only beings at the level of God Emperor could do it.

Shen Mu can easily defeat most of the top king-level beasts, but if he wants to kill them, he has to use the "Qi Yuan Technique".

Time flies quietly, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Deep in the wilderness, the little black dragon soared freely in the air, unscrupulously emitting the breath of its dragon bloodline.

Dragon beast bloodlines represent both strength and "deliciousness" in the Great Wilderness. Especially for a little black dragon that is only in the middle stage of the king level, once its aura is detected, any wild beast in the late stage of the king level will want to take a bite.

That’s right, Shen Mu was conducting a sting operation, and the results were remarkable, with gains every day.

If it was just a wild beast in the middle stage of king level, Shen Mu would directly leak its aura and scare it away.

But if it is a wild beast in the late king level, then there is no need to be polite.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, among the mountains below Shen Mu, a towering peak suddenly exploded, billions of earth and rocks splashed, revealing a brand new mountain body that looked like cast glass.

"The peak king level person without the fluctuation of Hunyuan bloodline turned out to be an ascender!"

A piercing sound came from the glazed mountain, and the vast and boundless blood fluctuations spread out like a tide, and the space and time within tens of thousands of miles around fell into a state of stagnation.

This is a life with emperor-level combat power. To be more precise... it is a natural Hunyuan life!
"How about letting me have a taste of you!!"

The sound that shook time and space spread out, and a huge human face emerged on the mountain, with its eyes fixed on Shen Mu.

Billions of extremely secretive silk threads pierced through the void, without any breath fluctuations spreading out, instantly covering thousands of miles around Shen Mu, and then suddenly pierced towards Shen Mu.

"Master!" The little black dragon was horrified, his voice full of panic.

Shen Mu seemed particularly calm when it came to the little black dragon. He chuckled and lightly tapped his finger in the air.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, around Shen Mu, time and space instantly solidified, turning into an indestructible invisible barrier!
"Ding, ding, ding..."

Countless silk threads were directly blocked by this invisible barrier and did not shake the barrier of time and space at all.

"Suppress it!" Shen Mu shouted softly.

Shen Mu pushed the Qi Yuan Technique to its extreme, and the will at the half-Huan Yuan level suddenly erupted, instantly suppressing the thinking of this natural Hun Yuan life.

The will of life of this mountain is weaker than the Nine-Layered Bell that is still slowly being digested in the Ten Absolutes Linglong Tower.

Shen Mu suppressed its thoughts and encountered almost no resistance.

This is a low-level Hunyuan life form, which has only realm and power but does not know how to use them. Compared with the ascenders of the same realm, it is no match at all, but it is very difficult to kill.

"After more than a year of fishing, I finally caught a big fish!"

Shen Mu's will sensing range is already very large, but the number of Hunyuan life in the wilderness is still too scarce, and this mountain life is the first one.

"The little black dragon has landed. I will immediately wipe out this inherently evil Hunyuan life."

"Yes, Master!"

……

More than half a year later, in the ancient city.

The ancient city is the real core of nearly ten thousand cities in the surrounding area, and emperor-level powers often come here to communicate.

This grand auction of the Shen Ji Tavern was organized by the branch of the Shen Ji Tavern in the ancient city.

At this time, outside the ancient city, Shen Mu's figure quietly emerged.

"finally reached."

Shen Mu let out a long breath, and the little black dragon behind him obediently lowered its majestic body.

From afar, the ancient city stands like a towering mountain above the earth, with its walls reaching into the clouds, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

The city wall is made of an unknown black stone, engraved with mysterious runes, blocking the space and time of a certain world.

"We are about to enter the city. You should go into the Shijue Linglong Tower first." Shen Mu glanced at the little black dragon.

"Yes, Master!"

Shen Mu walked slowly into the city. The streets were extremely wide, enough to accommodate dozens of huge chariots. On both sides of the streets were tall and magnificent buildings. People came and went in the city, and at a glance, almost all of them were king-level masters.

Occasionally, you can see two ultimate masters mixed in with the crowd.

You should know that in the territory of Zhiyang City, the total number of masters in the late king level is less than a thousand, not to mention that they can be seen everywhere on the streets.

"This ancient city is truly extraordinary, worthy of being a top city."

After entering the ancient city, Shen Mu went straight to the Shen Ji Tavern in the city.

As the largest intelligence trading place in the universe, Shen Ji Tavern is also a platform for speculation. A moment later, Shen Mu arrived outside Shen Ji Tavern.

Two tall guards stood at the door of the tavern. They were wearing black armor, had sharp eyes, and exuded the aura of a mid-level king.

Shen Mu walked up and said, "I have some items to sell, please let me know."

One of the guards looked at Shen Mu and said, "Please wait a moment."

After saying this, he turned and walked into the tavern. Not long after, a waiter came out, smiling and respectfully saying, "Sir, please come in."

Shen Mu followed the waiter into the tavern and came to a hall.

The hall was luxuriously decorated with various precious treasures. An old man was sitting at the table. He was wearing a long robe and had deep eyes. He was a master of the ultimate realm.

"Sir, I heard that you have something to sell?" The old man looked at Shen Mu and asked with a smile.

Shen Mu nodded and said, "Yes, I have some wild beast carcasses."

"Desolate beast corpse?" The old man was slightly stunned, and then asked, "I wonder what kind of desolate beast corpse it is?"

"The weakest is at the late king level, and there are also peak king level." Shen Mu said calmly.

The old man's face changed when he heard this. He stood up suddenly and bowed respectfully to Shen Mu: "Sir, please follow me."

The old man brought Shen Mu to a larger hall, which had a wide space and was surrounded by some instruments used for treasure appraisal.

The old man bowed slightly to Shen Mu and said, "Sir, please take out the corpse of the wild beast."

Shen Mu waved his hand, and the corpses of wild beasts appeared in the hall. These corpses of wild beasts were of different shapes, some were as huge as a hill, and some were as small as insects. They exuded powerful fluctuations, and even though they had fallen, they were still not to be underestimated.

“This…” The old man and several appraisers beside him were all shocked. Hunting king-level wild beasts on such a large scale, could this person really be an emperor-level power?
Shen Mu snorted coldly, and several people came back to their senses instantly.

"Please help me identify it." Shen Mu said.

"Yes, sir!" The leading elder and several appraisers carefully observed each wild beast corpse.

After a while, the old man said, "This wild beast corpse is the 'Flame Giant Ape'. The corpse is intact. Our Shenji Tavern can offer one thousand divine crystals."

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Mu, observing Shen Mu's reaction.

Shen Mu didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly, signaling the old man to continue.

The old man continued, "This wild beast corpse is a 'Swift Wind Cheetah', at the peak of the King level, and is very valuable. Our Divine Machine Tavern can offer three thousand Divine Crystals..."

The old man and several appraisers beside him were all veterans in the Shen Ji Tavern who specialized in appraisals and had seen all kinds of treasures.

But even so, they did not dare to be negligent in the slightest towards Shen Mu, who had produced so many king-level peak wild beast corpses at one time.

You know, even if a king-level wild beast can be defeated, it is generally difficult to kill it.

At least it is almost impossible for ordinary peak king-level powerhouses to kill wild beasts of the same level. Killing and defeating are two different things.

Therefore, they couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Lord Yinsha was an emperor-level power with a hidden aura?

"Yes, there is one last body. Please evaluate it."

As he spoke, a stream of light appeared on Shen Mu's right hand, revealing a void ring. Inside the void ring was the Hunyuan life that Shen Mu had directly annihilated with the Qi Yuan technique, a giant glass mountain!
The old man took the ring without knowing why, a trace of his soul seeped into it and he felt it, and his face changed drastically in an instant!

"Hun, Hunyuan Life!?"

That kind of pure Hunyuan blood fluctuation is far beyond the peak level of the King level, and is even purer than that of the God Emperor. It must be a Hunyuan life!
The strength of ordinary Hunyuan life forms is probably around the early stage of God King, but in a fight with people of the same realm, there is almost no possibility of being killed.

The old man looked at Shen Mu tremblingly. No matter how he sensed it, the aura of this man was only at the peak of the king level.

"Sir, what's your name?"

"Silver Sand." This time Shen Mu reported his first title.

"Master Yinsha... the value of Hunyuan's corpse cannot be accurately estimated, but if you are willing, we can include it in the auction items of the Imperial Auction in a month."

“I believe that among the emperor-level powers who came to the auction this time, there must be someone who is interested in the corpse of the Hunyuan life form.”

Shen Mu nodded slightly after hearing this: "If that's the case, let's deal with it this way."

“Yes, sir!” The old man bowed quickly and said carefully, “Except for the corpse of the Hunyuan creature, for the other wild beast corpses, our Shenji Tavern is willing to offer 150 spiritual jades plus 5,000 divine crystals. What do you think…”

In this world, a divine crystal represents the entire bloodline power of an early king-level wild beast.

As for the spiritual jade, it is a special treasure that is born and raised in this world. It can nourish the blood of the emperor-level powerful. Even for the God Emperor, it is considered a treasure and is extremely valuable.

Ten thousand divine crystals can be exchanged for one spiritual jade. The net worth of an ordinary divine emperor is only a few hundred spiritual jades.

"Okay, let's take this price." Shen Mu nodded.

"Please wait a moment, sir." As the old man spoke, he quickly sent a message to the inside of the Shenji Tavern.

Soon, a beautiful waitress came in, carrying a golden tray.

On the golden plate, there are pieces of crystal clear jade floating in the air, surrounded by many dazzling divine crystals, emitting strong energy fluctuations.

Shen Mu's current wealth is actually no worse than that of a true emperor-level powerhouse.

After all, his Ten Absolutes Linglong Tower is a quasi-Hunyuan divine weapon of extremely high quality.

An average strong man at the early stage of the emperor level may not be able to afford a magical weapon of this level.

However, Shen Mu needed the Ten Absolutes Linglong Tower for a long time, so it was impossible for him to sell it.

Shen Mu waved his hand, put the spiritual jade and divine crystal into his pocket, and then said: "Prepare a quiet room, I need to retreat, and notify me when the auction starts."

The old man quickly said, "Yes, sir!"

The waitress beside him bowed slightly and said, "Please follow me, sir."

Soon, following the waitress, Shen Mu came to a special cave.

"Sir, this is the token of the cave. It can open the formation of this cave. Without your token, no one below the emperor level can break in."
