"Arrogant, do you really think that killing a mere Yuan Wuming allows you to act recklessly in front of us? Foolish beyond belief!"

A Black-armored Strongman whom Su Mu had no impression of before laughed wildly and spoke. The person claimed to be a Profound Celestial General took a step forward, his aura rising, and the moment his foot hit the ground, a heavy, muffled sound echoed through the air, sending circles of yellow waves spreading out, pressing toward Su Mu.

In that instant, Su Mu felt a powerful, invisible force enveloping him, and the ground beneath his feet began to sink. As the waves spread, the soldiers battling suddenly groaned, unable to bear the weight and collapsed to the ground.

Among them, even two Seventh-Grade Martial Artists’ expressions changed drastically, and only by pushing their internal power and tendon power to the limit could they resist. Even so, their bodies felt ten times heavier, their movements slowed, forcing them to quickly escape to the perimeter.

"So strong, incredible!"

The two Seventh-Grade Martial Artists who escaped the wave coverage exclaimed in surprise. At that moment, both even forgot that they were fighting on opposite sides just moments ago.

"Tremble, this is the realm of the Middle Third Grade, you cannot reach the power of the Five Extremes Realm and Sixth-Grade Technique!"

The Profound Celestial General felt proud as he noticed the astonished gazes from the soldiers on both sides. Although he was just a Ten Thousand Man Commander in the Black Mountain Army before, there was no chance for him to advance further.

No one dared touch the position of Purple Shirt among the Four Protectors, and the other three Protectors had their roles. The Left and Right Protectors were beyond his reach, but now he had soared to the heavens, surviving the bestowal of power from the Celestial King. Of the twelve individuals who survived, only four remained, excluding the Left and Right Protectors.

If you exclude Wei Ming and Xie Li, who originally were among the Four Protectors, only they survived among the twelve.

Having gone through trials like moths to a flame, they achieved rebirth and were stronger than ever before!

"The Yuan Wuming you risked your life to kill is nothing but an ant to us now, easily crushed with a wave of the hand!"

After Yuan Wuming fell at Qi Peak Mountain, the news of Su Mu single-handedly forcing back Wei Ming and Xie Li reached the Black Mountain Army, shocking not only Wei Ming and Xie Li but also the Thousand Man and Ten Thousand Man commanders within the Black Mountain Army.

But now, they have experienced rebirth, truly stepping into the Middle Third Grade realm, feeling the surge of powerful qi blood and attribute power within them.

To the four Profound Celestial Generals now, Su Mu’s strength was nothing more, any one of them could easily kill him.

Especially Wei Ming and Xie Li, who persevered through the Celestial King’s technique, driven by a single obsession—to take revenge on Su Mu and wash away their disgrace!

Ultimately, the ones who would laugh in the end were them, not Su Mu!

"Five Extremes Realm? You are no different from Yuan Wuming in my eyes. Do you want to die one by one, or come at me together?"

Upon hearing these words, Su Mu’s eyes flickered, speaking calmly.

"What did you say? Seeking death!"

The four couldn’t sense any shock or fear in Su Mu throughout. Hearing this, their anger was ignited even further, like a spark igniting four barrels of gunpowder. The six-grade realm they risked their lives for was so easily dismissed by Su Mu, truly loathsome!

"Such a sharp-mouthed fellow, let’s see if your mouth stays as hard as now once I hack off your limbs."

With those words, the Profound Celestial General charged toward Su Mu viciously, like an enraged beast, his aura overwhelming. A punch covered in spiky armor was aimed fiercely at Su Mu’s face, the pressure making the air feel stagnant even before the punch landed.

"Earth Element Divine Power, is it?"

Su Mu’s gaze remained calm, as he raised his hand, flames danced in his eyes and golden light emerged from every inch of flesh. Instantly, three-inch flames combined into an armor, and simultaneously, his inference talent activated, slowing the punch by dozens of times in Su Mu’s view, allowing him to see through, neutralize, and counter it.

In the next breath.

The Profound Celestial General’s face beneath the armor showed disbelief; he could distinctly feel the same oppressive force as when he previously activated the Earth Element Divine Power over Li Feiyu, instantly making him feel suffocated.

In contrast, Su Mu’s expression didn’t change, activating the Earth Element Divine Power seemed stagnated, but it only heightened the Profound Celestial General’s shock; Li Feiyu was visibly far from reaching Sixth Grade, yet achieved such control over a Sixth-Grade technique.

Even more surprising, the opponent was using the same Earth Element Divine Power against him!

"You’re asking for death!"

The flaming fist clashed heavily with the metal armor-covered punch, shaking the ground under Su Mu, eighty percent of the force was directly resisted by the Molten Fire Golden Body, while twenty percent was redirected into the earth using the Five Elements Divine Skill from the Five Elements Art, causing the ground to collapse as if struck by a mighty hammer.

The Five Elements Art, a Sixth-Grade Martial Art existing since Pre-Qin times, spanning thousands of years, is a balanced and steady technique. Su Mu had insights upon understanding it.

This Five Elements Art seemed to lack any standout features, except when cultivated to great success to unlock a special martial technique. Individual Chapters included only basic applications, and nothing more.

Moreover, Su Mu hadn’t easily taken the Azure Blood Five Elements Pill, so he hadn’t dedicated much time to the Five Elements Art recently.
