Great Xuanwu Sheng

Splash.

The heavy and bitter seawater poured back into the underground cave where Chen Mu was in retreat, and soon completely submerged the place, turning it into an underwater water cave, submerging Chen Mu's body, the corpse of the red dragon in the cave, and the pool of red dragon blood.

But such submergence did not affect the situation in the cave at all.

Chen Mu's body was still sitting cross-legged, falling next to the dragon blood pool. The dragon blood pool still showed a boiling scene in the sea water, and did not melt into the sea water. Even when it came into contact with the sea water, it would make a sizzling sound from time to time, causing the sea water to evaporate.

The entire seabed gradually turned into silence, and the diffuse demonic aura mixed with the scouring and cleansing of the power of heaven and earth gradually faded away, while Chen Mu was still sitting cross-legged by the dragon blood pool, motionless.

Above his head.

The blazing fire of the soul was gradually dissipating, revealing a bright moon, but this moon was much smaller than before, but at its core, there was a faint golden light, which was like a flickering candlelight, but no matter how the power of heaven and earth washed it, it was unshakable, just like real gold forged by fire.

The burning of the soul has extremely huge side effects. Even a master of heaven and man would never use such means unless he was in a desperate situation. Once used, it would be difficult to reverse. At the least, the realm would fall and he could no longer maintain the unity of heaven and man. At the worst, his consciousness would collapse and he would fall into a state of half-crazy and half-awake.

Like Chen Mu, whose soul has not yet entered the level of heaven and man, being entangled and burned by the soul of a master of heaven and man, igniting himself, it is almost impossible to reverse it, and his soul will be annihilated on the spot.

But.

It just so happens that Chen Mu's heart and soul power is comparable to that of a celestial being, and he can withstand the burning of soul fire. He is also being cleansed and washed by the power of heaven and earth. As long as a little spiritual light is not extinguished, it will slowly recover with the passage of time.

Chen Mu's current situation is far from that bad. His heart and soul power has been burned out a lot, but under Ji Yongzhao's desperate fight, he has examined himself more clearly, and has made clearer his own body and self. Moreover, Ji Yongzhao is also practicing the way of heaven and earth. What he brought by burning soul fire is the most suitable heart and soul tempering for Chen Mu!

Therefore.

After being burned by soul fire, Chen Mu's heart and soul finally cultivated a little "immortal" spiritual light!

Compared with the body, the heart and soul are extremely fragile. There are very few means in the world that can heal the heart and soul, and the spiritual objects of heaven and earth that can heal the heart and soul are also extremely rare. This is why Qin Mengjun was attacked when she was attacked for blood exchange, and her heart and soul were injured. After that, countless people regretted that she would stop here.

To finally heal the old wounds and make up for the damage to the soul, for Qin Mengjun, it depends not only on his own talent and hard work, but also on some chance and destiny.

And now, after Chen Mu condensed a little bit of "immortal spiritual light", his soul has undergone a qualitative change!

He is him.

He is Chen Mu!

Coming from the world outside the sky, merging with the body of this world, irreplaceable, unique and one-of-a-kind!

As long as this spiritual light is immortal, even if the soul is damaged, no matter how big the trauma is, and falls into unconscious silence, it can be gradually healed over time, and the damage to the soul will no longer be irreversible for him!

It was also after this immortal spiritual light was completely condensed that the soul fire burning on Chen Mu's soul disappeared, and everything of Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao disappeared with it.

The wisps of soul fire seemed to still have Ji Yongzhao's unwillingness, swaying and trying to make a final counterattack, but it could no longer shake Chen Mu's soul, and finally completely annihilated and ceased to exist!

So far.

The Emperor of Daxuan, who had lived for more than 200 years and ruled the world for 150 years, was wiped out.

The demise of a master of heaven and man is no small matter. Under normal circumstances, the death of a heaven and man is enough to make the world within a radius of a thousand miles shake, manifest strange phenomena, and all living things mourn.

But at this moment, I don’t know whether it is because of the attempt to devour Chen Mu’s soul and merge with Chen Mu, or for some other reasons, the whole world is silent, without any waves, and not even the slightest strange phenomenon has appeared.

If Chen Mu’s consciousness is completely clear at this time, he will soon understand that although Ji Yongzhao is a master of heaven and man, and may even be the strongest person in the world, he has long been no longer recognized by heaven and earth when he practiced the evil method of merging souls and stealing the lifespan of others’ bodies, or from that moment on, in the cognition of heaven and earth, ‘Ji Yongzhao’ is dead.

In fact.

For the entire Daxuan, Ji Yongzhao should have died long ago. He should have died long ago when he practiced the evil art of merging souls and stealing the bodies and lifespans of others. This is not a method that should appear in the world of Daxuan.

And at the same time.

In Zhongzhou, where the vast land and dense population and martial arts flourish, in the center of the ninety-nine states of Daxuan, the imperial dynasty is located.

The King of Han and the King of Liang are still discussing how to deal with Chen Mu.

The King of Jin, the King of Chu and other figures are still considering how to use Chen Mu to ascend to the throne.

Wei He, the seal holder of the Silijian, is still guarding the Taihe Hall, waiting calmly, covering up everything for Ji Yongzhao, waiting for Ji Yongzhao to return and pacify this chaotic world again.

...

No one knows about Ji Yongzhao's death.

This king who regarded the ninety-nine states of Daxuan as toys in his hands died quietly without causing any waves or ripples. The entire Daxuan continued to move forward in its established direction, just as it had changed over the years.

It was not until about four months later that someone finally realized that Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao was no longer in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which finally caused an uproar in the imperial court. Many forces belonging to the Eight Kings almost all took action to try to take down Wei He, a key figure, and find out the truth about Emperor Xuan's disappearance, but ultimately failed.

So far.

Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao and Wei He, the seal holder of the Silijian and the internal prime minister of Daxuan, who had been the only link between Ji Yongzhao and the outside world for so many years, disappeared together, and their whereabouts were unknown, which also caused the already chaotic court structure to finally fall into chaos.

No matter what the truth behind the disappearance of Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao is, whether Ji Yongzhao had died many years ago, whether Wei He concealed the truth and used it to seize power and cause chaos in the court for many years, or whether something happened in the recent period, all these secrets were completely cut off after Wei He disappeared.

The disappearance of Emperor Xuan also completely opened the curtain for the eight kings to seize the throne!

The country cannot be without a king for a day!

When Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao was still alive, even though the court spread that he practiced evil magic and was half crazy and half awake, and Wei He stole power and caused chaos in the court, no one dared to rebel. Even the most powerful King Jin among the eight kings only dared to secretly accumulate his power and fight and suppress each other with the other seven kings, and never thought of forcing the emperor to abdicate.

After all, Ji Yongzhao ruled the world for 150 years, and his prestige and power were difficult to shake. Even if he had not taken care of state affairs for more than ten years, none of the eight princes dared to force him to abdicate. As princes, they knew best how terrifying this "father emperor" was.

But now.

Ji Yongzhao disappeared, and his whereabouts were unknown, and even his life and death were unknown. Wei He, the only key person who knew about it, also disappeared, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth. The supreme position was completely vacant!

No matter what the specific situation is, at this moment, it would never be wrong to fight for that position. After all, they are no longer forcing the emperor to seize the throne. Even if Ji Yongzhao, the father, appears again, it would not be wrong to respect him as the emperor.

Even if Ji Yongzhao is not dead, he has finally reached his twilight years.

Although there are all kinds of rumors that he practiced the evil arts of prolonging life, no matter what, those evil arts are unlikely to last long. One day, Ji Yongzhao will still die. Whoever sits on the throne at that time will be the real new monarch.

Among the eight kings, the two who are most eager for the throne are King Han and King Liang. Although they have never met Chen Mu, they have an irreconcilable hatred!

If you want to compete with Chen Mu, who is respected by personal force, you must ascend to that position!

As long as you ascend the throne, rule the world, even if Chen Mu is so powerful that he can be invincible in the future, he can rely on the power of the emperor to compete with him!

For King Han and King Liang, who are facing the huge threat of Chen Mu, this is undoubtedly the only way out. It is a road for them to fight to the death!

So.

In the next few months, the entire imperial city was depressed, and a bloody storm was set off!

In the past, the existence of masters that ordinary people rarely saw occurred almost every day in the imperial city. There was even a situation where a famous master died overnight, and his body was pierced by a spear and hung on the city wall.

Not to mention these masters, even the masters of the blood exchange realm would occasionally clash and fight in the imperial city. However, after all, the fighting between blood exchange masters was too loud and the consequences were extraordinary, so they were relatively restrained.

At this time.

The entire Daxuan world, from the major forces of the ninety-nine states, countless eyes were almost all cast on the imperial city in Zhongzhou, focusing on this battle for the throne.

For a while, the attention paid to Chen Mu was much less.

Even the existence of Xuanji Pavilion Master and Xueyin Tower Master who were searching for Chen Mu's traces in the outer sea and wanted to disrupt Chen Mu's impact on the blood exchange realm were recalled by King Han, King Liang and others, and all stationed in Zhongzhou, all for the sake of seizing the throne.

It's not just that the commotion in Zhongzhou is too big, the battle for the throne has attracted the attention of the world, and at the same time, in the past six months or so, there has been no news about Chen Mu, and the world's discussion about Chen Mu has naturally faded with the passage of time.

...

Imperial City.

A wide and solemn place.

On the white jade floor tiles, there are dragon patterns engraved, symbolizing the supreme authority. This square paved with white jade is a thousand feet in radius, which can be said to be extremely luxurious.

There are no palace guards here. It is open as far as the eye can see, and there are no buildings. Only in the center of this white jade square, there is a high platform carved from green jade. On the high platform, there are about six or seven figures in gray clothes sitting cross-legged. Their aura is natural and restrained, condensed into one with the entire high platform, and their expressions are solemn and solemn.

In the center of these gray-clothed figures, there is a huge bronze tripod!

This bronze tripod is covered with strange patterns, has two ears and three feet, and carries the heaven and earth. Although it does not seem to have any spiritual light, as long as you approach it within a radius of a hundred feet, you can feel a kind of oppression from the heaven and earth, which makes you want to kneel down.

Qiankun Ding!

This is one of the world-suppressing magic weapons of the Daxuan Dynasty. It is not included in the Daxuan Spiritual Weapon Chart, but even if it is taken out alone, its level is enough to rank among the top three in the Spiritual Weapon Chart. And now this tripod is the core of the ‘Qiankun Wuyuan Formation’ that suppresses the entire imperial court!

The Qiankun Wuyuan Formation is the most advanced formation in the world. It was the Daxuan Wu Emperor who pacified the chaotic world. More than a thousand years ago, he gathered countless formation masters from the ninety-nine states and spent more than ten years to build a formation to defend the imperial court.

Even the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation of the Qixuan Sect evolved from the Qiankun Wuyuan Formation.

This formation does not have the means of attack and killing, nor does it have the means of defense. Its only effect is suppression. Even a master of the blood exchange realm will be trapped in a military formation under the completely awakened Qiankun Wuyuan Formation, isolated from the heaven and earth, unable to draw Yuanqi from the heaven and earth to make up for himself, and even other means will be greatly suppressed!

To be free from this suppression, only the royal bloodline!

Every royal bloodline, no matter the prince or princess, will take a drop of blood and merge it into the Qiankun Ding when they are born, so that they can be identified and distinguished by the Qiankun Wuyuan Formation, while other people with other surnames cannot get it.

At this moment, the Qiankun Ding and the Qiankun Wuyuan Formation have not been awakened. The range of the Qiankun Wuyuan Formation is limited to the thousand-foot square of the White Jade Square. If it is fully awakened, it can cover the entire imperial court.

"Is this the Qiankun Ding..."

In the distance, a figure walked over. He was wearing a black robe, and there seemed to be a trace of illness between his eyebrows. He cast his eyes on the bronze giant tripod. While muttering, he suddenly couldn't help coughing twice, looking a little weak.

The black-robed man was Cheng Zu, the master of Xuanji Pavilion.

Previously, he tried to divine Chen Mu, and suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Secret. He was severely injured. Even after half a year, the remaining injuries have not been completely healed. The internal injuries are deep in the foundation of the martial body and are almost incurable. Now he just suppresses the internal injuries forcibly. However, when he came to the depths of the palace and stepped into the range of the Qiankun Wuyuan Formation, he was suppressed by the formation and immediately showed a weak state.

Under the Qiankun Wuyuan Formation, not only is the Yuanqi of heaven and earth almost isolated, but his strength is also suppressed by nearly 70%!

It can be said that

For a master of the Blood Exchange Realm like him, in this Qiankun Wuyuan Formation, even if he is facing a marrow washing master, as long as the opponent is not restricted by the formation, then he will hardly win, and he may even lose in the end!

"The Qiankun Wuyuan Formation is extraordinary. Brother Cheng's old injuries have not healed, so don't go too deep."

At this time, another low voice came, and a figure stepped from the side, and it was Xiang Yuan, the leader of the Kaoshan Sect.

Along with Xiang Yuan, there were several other blood exchange masters and a man in a black python robe. His eyes were cold and his aura was deep. He was not affected by the Qiankun Wuyuan Formation at all and stepped onto the Baiyu Square.

King Han, Ji Xuanfei!

Almost at the same time when King Han appeared, figures appeared one after another from other directions of Baiyu Square. Although these figures were suppressed by the Qiankun Wuyuan Formation, their auras were still as strong as the abyss. They were all top masters of the blood exchange realm. In addition, there were several people who appeared in python robes.

King Jin, King Chu, King Liang... The eight kings of Zhongzhou were all there!
