Chapter 289 The Fourth City Lord
Saving this hunting team was just a matter of convenience for Shen Mu, and he also harvested the corpses of more than a hundred Hunyuan creatures at the perfect level of the God Emperor.
Including the more than twenty ant dragons at the half-Punyuan level that had been killed before, there were only about one hundred and forty in total, which was about two-thirds of what Shen Mu needed.
At this rate, Shen Mu would be able to collect enough Hunyuan lifeforms’ corpses for his own cultivation in one day at the fastest and three or four days at the slowest.
With Shen Mu's current strength, there will be no accidents. It's just a matter of time.
Although there are many imprisoned high-level Hunyuan life forms in the Holy Realm, these prisoners cannot leave their nests. Once they leave their nests, their strength will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to kill ordinary half-Hunyuan life forms.
With Shen Mu's strength, although he could not kill the Hunyuan prisoners, there would be no danger and he could retreat calmly.
……
On the other side, on the city wall of Lei Chi City, He Lu and Chong Er were still exploring the surroundings, alert to any possible unexpected situations.
Suddenly, a team of fifty or sixty people emerged from the morning mist in the distance and quickly fled towards Lei Chi City.
"It's Emperor Mo Yue, they are back!"
He Lu's eyes were as bright as stars, illuminating the mountains and rivers for tens of millions of miles, and he spotted the group of practitioners at the first moment.
Among the more than sixty people, only two-thirds were from the hunting team of the Dark Moon God Emperor, and the other twenty or so were there to provide emergency support.
"According to the information reported by Emperor Mo Yue to the Thunder God Palace, they were besieged by hundreds of Mo Wu Chaos Snakes, among which there were hundreds of Perfection-level beings. It was not easy for them to escape."
Chong Er on the side also nodded in approval. The siege by five or six hundred powerful God Emperors was enough to kill almost all the Half-Pure Origin strongmen.
Only the three city lords, who are far superior to ordinary Half-Hunyuan strongmen, can save their lives calmly.
"Contact the second team and have them approach quickly. Someone may be seriously injured."
He Lu and Chong Er quickly sent out a message, and soon a complete team of the Divine Emperor flew out of the city.
The strong men in the second team all possess powerful healing abilities, some of them are God Emperors who have mastered the way of life or the bloodline of life.
"Mo Yue!"
The captain of the second team, a semi-Hunyuan life with a very strong aura, was shouting from a distance.
The Dark Moon God Emperor also breathed a sigh of relief at this time: "Shengyun, hurry up, give them some treatment!"
The Mowu Chaos Snake possesses a terrifying poison that can corrode the power at the half-step rule level. Even half-chaotic life forms are wary of it.
In the Mo Yue team, almost everyone was poisoned, but the severity varied.
Even at the level of perfection of the God Emperor, it is still rogue to talk about toxins without considering the dosage.
Shengyun Divine Emperor said quickly: "Don't worry, we will be fine when we come. You should take a look at yourself. You are too weak to be in good shape."
God Emperor Mo Yue himself was also seriously poisoned, and it was difficult for him to maintain his aura as a God Emperor in the late stage.
Shengyun God Emperor's team has thirteen God Emperors who have mastered the way of life or the bloodline of life. Although only four of them are at the perfect level of God Emperor, removing the snake venom is not a problem.
"I didn't expect it to be so serious. It was not easy for more than 20 people to fight their way out of the siege of hundreds of Mowu Chaos Snakes with more than 40 of your wounded."
The God Emperor Shengyun easily perceived the aura of all members of the Mo Yue Hunting Team. Half of them had lost their combat effectiveness as they had been poisoned and could not receive treatment until now.
If it is delayed for another two or three days, there may even be a risk to one's life.
It can be said that this group of wounded soldiers, at most, are at the late or even middle stage of the Divine Emperor. They are basically a burden and it is truly lucky that they were able to escape.
However, as soon as the Divine Emperor Shengyun said this, before the Divine Emperor Moyue could speak, a powerful person who came to support him spoke.
"We didn't provide support. When we arrived, Mo Yue and the others were already out of danger."
Another strong man beside him also said with a somewhat shocked expression: "Yes, those five or six hundred Mowu Chaos Snakes were all killed, killed by one person."
The God Emperor Shengyun was stunned.
This is simply alarmist.
For a semi-Hunyuan life, if it does not break through to a higher level, the strength of the soul and the body are the same. If you want to improve your combat power, you can only use other methods.
For example, the city lord Jiulong Haotian, who has comprehended a great way to the level of half-purgatory great perfection, is an enlightened person.
Not only that, the city lord also possesses nine perfect half-purgatory bloodlines. The combination of the enlightened system and the bloodline system can bring out the ultimate combat power. Killing the Mowu Chaos Snake at the half-purgatory level is not a problem.
Even when facing the siege of hundreds of Mowu Chaos Snakes, he can still remain invincible.
However, if these Mowu Chaos Snakes were fleeing, even Jiulong Haotian would not be able to kill them all. It would be good enough if he could kill one third of them.
A look of shock flashed in the eyes of the Dark Moon God Emperor, and he said, "The one who made the move was the Origin Emperor."
"The Origin Emperor? The powerful being who ascended to heaven a thousand years ago?"
Emperor Shengyun had naturally also heard of Shen Mu's name. After all, suppressing the Soul-Devouring Beast King with his own strength and killing dozens of Soul-Devouring Beasts was definitely something that an ordinary God Emperor could do.
"Yes, it is the Emperor of Origin."
The Dark Moon God Emperor nodded heavily: "The Origin Emperor possesses an extremely powerful soul-killing technique that can instantly annihilate souls below the Half-Purgency level."
“Even if they were besieged by hundreds of Mowu Chaos Snakes at the Perfection Level of the Divine Emperor, they could only exert the strength of the late Divine Emperor under the suppression of the Origin Emperor.”
"And the Emperor himself, in addition to this soul-annihilating technique, is also an enlightened person and a bloodline practitioner. His subsequent attacks are three times stronger than my peak attacks, and it is easy for him to kill a group of beings whose strength has fallen to the late stage of the God Emperor."
Shen Mu killed a Hunyuan life with the strength of only the late stage of God Emperor as easily as a half-Hunyuan life killing a mid-stage God Emperor. He could kill it with just a flip of his hand.
After listening to the description of God Emperor Mo Yue, God Emperor Sheng Yun also showed a look of surprise on his face.
"My Leichi City has gained another city lord-level existence!"
If it weren't for the mysterious soul-killing technique, Shen Mu could only be considered close to the city lord level.
However, with this soul-destroying technique, Shen Mu's efficiency in slaughtering half-Hunyuan life is much easier than that of a city lord.
With the return of the Mo Yue hunting team, in just one day, all the strong men in the entire Lei Chi City knew that Lei Chi City had a new city lord-level strong man.
Apart from envy, they could only feel fortunate for Shen Mu's rise.
On the one hand, he was glad that he had never offended the Emperor of Origin. On the other hand, with the presence of one more city lord, Lei Chi City would be more stable and more confident in facing the beast tide.
Once the gap between people is too big, others will only admire and respect you. Of course, this is the way of thinking of normal people, and naturally there are also abnormal ones.
However, in such a world full of killing, people with abnormal brain circuits generally will not be able to cultivate to the point of ascending to the holy realm.
At this time, deep in Lei Chi City, the deputy city lord Cheng Suichuan was in the cave.
"Oh, you have such strength right after ascending? The possibility of transcending the cage in the future must be far greater than others."
In the towering palace, there was a statue covered with silver scales, with nine silver horns on its head and a silver scale tail on its back. The life suddenly became excited.
He is the deputy city lord, Cheng Suichuan.
To be precise, his name is Jin Suichuan, and Cheng Suichuan is just his pseudonym.
His grandfather is called Jin, and he is one of the strongest in the entire infinite Hunyuan space. There is no one in the entire cultivation world who has a greater origin than him. The strongest here is the strongest in the literal sense, a Hunyuan lord-level existence, and a Hunyuan lord of the cultivator lineage.
Although the natural Hunyuan Lord is powerful, he may not be able to own his own throne in the Eternal Land.
For example, the Hunyuan life that was born to control the rules of time and space, the natural Hunyuan Lord, he would never be killed, and even if he died, he would be revived from endless years.
Even an existence like Yuan can't do anything to this kind of life.
But this is only a life-saving ability. In terms of combat power, this ancestor of time and space is not on the same level as the Infinite Serpent and cannot be ranked on the eternal throne.
But it is different for practitioners. As long as they reach the lord level, they will definitely be the most perfect and powerful.
Once every practitioner enters this realm, he or she will automatically possess a seat on the throne of the eternal land.
"When this Origin Emperor comes back, I will make friends with him."
“If he can transcend in the future, his strength will definitely be far beyond that of ordinary Hunyuan strongmen, and he may even become a world-class existence.”
"Hopefully, we can bring him under Grandpa's command by then."
Jin Suichuan had a lot of calculations to make. After all, he had nothing else but money.
He is rich in the literal sense. His grandfather can even get him the essence and blood of a lord-level life form.
It’s hard to say about the Eternal Throne, but even if other lord-level Hunyuan lives cannot be killed, they can be easily severely damaged.
……
On the other side, in the residence of Deputy City Lord Cangsheng.
This is an endless universe of swords, with the infinite power of time and space surging and transforming into billions of divine swords.
The deputy city lord Cangsheng is a pure enlightened person and a swordsman.
He mastered two and a half levels of the Dao of Hunyuan, one of which was the Dao of Sword, and the other was the Dao of Time and Space.
In terms of strength, he is enough to challenge the city lord Jiulong Haotian. This is the power of mastering two half-Hunyuan avenues.
Jin Suichuan's strength comes from his bloodline and many terrifying trump cards and treasures, but his strength is due to pure truth.
"Well, Jiulong and Xiaojin have been sparring with me for countless years, and we are really tired of fighting!"
"Finally, there is a new city lord-level expert!"
The deputy city lord Cangsheng, a pure swordsman, naturally has some characteristics of a swordsman, such as being happy when hearing about war!
"No, I'm not familiar with this Origin Emperor yet. We need to get to know each other before we can learn from each other. We can't be misunderstood!"
Deputy City Lord Cangsheng is not stupid either. If a misunderstanding occurs among the city lords, or even triggers factional struggles in Lei Chi City, he would be a sinner.
"We still need to get to know each other."
Deputy City Lord Cangsheng showed a bit of pain on his face, and the time and space in front of him suddenly changed.
Swords of various shapes appeared in this space and time, and each sword was infinitely close to the Hunyuan treasure.
Deputy City Lord Cangsheng looked at the swords with fiery and bright eyes, as if he was looking at a peerless beauty.
After hesitating for a long time, Deputy City Lord Cangsheng's gaze fell on a long sword surrounded by the fluctuations of the illusory Dao.
"I heard that this Origin Emperor has mastered a very powerful soul-killing secret technique, and he will definitely be interested in Huanxin's wife."
"I'm sorry, my fantasy wife."
The Lord of Cangsheng City made a decision, holding the long sword that was flowing with illusionary fluctuations, with a look of reluctance on his face.
……
In the City Lord's Mansion, Jiulong Haotian, the City Lord, naturally also got the news.
"You have cultivated both the enlightenment system and the bloodline system, and you have mastered multiple bloodline powers?"
Jiulong Haotian's eyes showed joy, and he couldn't help but ask: "Could it be the descendant of my Wushen World?"
At this time, Shen Mu was unaware that he had been noticed by the three city lords, and was still looking for half-Hunyuan life to hunt.
One day and one night later, in the wilderness.
One after another, the ferocious demon insects fell to the ground, their lives completely cut off. Although they seemed to have no injuries, their souls were actually completely annihilated.
"The six golden armored demon insects, the half-pure source level corpses have finally reached 220."
Shen Mu only counted the corpses of half-Hunyuan life forms. As for the corpses of Hunyuan life forms in the late and middle stages of the Divine Emperor, the number of people who died at Shen Mu's hands had exceeded tens of thousands.
"These corpses of ordinary God Emperors are enough for me to eat for countless billions of years."
"Very good. Next, I will retreat for 10 billion years, comprehend the Infinite Dao to the Half-Pure Source level in one go, and refine all nine bloodlines to the Half-Pure Source perfection."
Shen Mu likes to retreat by nature. Retreat makes me happy, and evolution makes me climax.
As long as he can comprehend the infinite mysteries of the Banhunyuan level, Shen Mu can evolve his soul to this level.
By then, he would be a true Half-Pure Origin life form, mastering nine kinds of supreme bloodline power and a Half-Pure Origin rule.
Even without using the secret technique of consciousness, he is still comparable to the city lord Jiulong Haotian.
Shen Mu was not sure whether his outburst of will could affect the real high-level Hunyuan life if he evolved to the semi-Hunyuan Great Perfection.
But it is not completely hopeless. A high-level Hunyuan life form in its peak state may be able to ignore the impact of will at the same level. How can a Hunyuan prisoner do that?
The Hunyuan prisoners had to endure terrible pain all the time, and once they entered the punishment period, the pain would be so severe that they would scream and shout.
In this state, the willpower to resist one's own pain is the limit. How can there be any strength to resist the impact of Shen Mu's will?
……
call out!
On the top of the city wall of Lei Chi City, He Lu and Chong Er saw from afar a streak of light fleeing towards the direction of Lei Chi City at a terrifying speed.
"It's the Origin Emperor!"
He Lu's eyes were shining brightly and he recognized Shen Mu at a glance. After all, Shen Mu had nothing to hide.
"Quick, inform the three city lords!"
He Lu looked at Chong'er standing aside. He could instantly see everything within his perception range, ignoring the distance of time and space, and report what he saw to anyone.
Chong'er, on the other hand, can hear all movements within a certain range and contribute the sound to anyone.
In addition to perception, this ability can also be used for communication, and its efficiency is much higher than communication through the Thunder God Palace.
