Chapter 632: Chapter 430: Invincible Momentum—Mu Yu Strikes Down the Tower and Crushes the Summit!

A difference of one million!

For a moment, everyone was in a daze, and the words of the Military Department elder from the opening ceremony ten days ago echoed in their ears.

"During the contest, attacking each other is not prohibited. The victor may seize half of the loser’s merits, but killing is forbidden..."

Half the merits!

Many people felt a chill down their spine. Suddenly awakened, they understood why there was such a dramatic shift on the merit leaderboard.

Everything was because...

Ling Jue, who had always occupied the top spot, was defeated and had half his merits seized just now.

And the identity of that person was becoming evident.

There was only one possibility, and that was the new first place on the merit leaderboard...

The one who had first set foot on the Ancient Battlefield, Southern War Zone 020, Su Mu!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could Ling Jue be defeated, and to that guy of all people..." A general from the Central War Zone found it hard to accept.

Just now, another general from the Central War Zone referred to Su Mu as the "non-killing General Star." Even the high-ranking officers of the Southern War Zone remained silent, unable to refute.

And now, the person they regarded as strange had actually replaced their pride, the first of the new generation in the Central War Zone, from the top merit position.

And added exactly one million merits.

This was practically a deadly blow!

The first time was taking the lead, the second was seizing half the merits. Both times, the target was Ling Jue, the first of the Central War Zone, as if their entire zone had made a wedding dress for one person, Su Mu, twice over.

How could the high-ranking officers of the Central War Zone accept this!

But at this moment, the words spoken by a Central War Zone general reflected the doubts in the hearts of high-ranking officers of the other three zones, and indeed all the soldiers present.

Su Mu defeated Ling Jue?

How could that be possible!

There must have been an anomaly in some part of the merit leaderboard!

Everyone stared intently at Su Mu’s name at the top of the merit leaderboard, filled with doubt. As for the people from the Central War Zone, many looked toward the high-ranking officers of the Southern War Zone.

Initially, these generals of the Central War Zone firmly believed there was some anomaly and were ready to raise objections, to wait for a face-off between Ling Jue and Su Mu.

But soon, the pupils of these Central War Zone generals contracted, because they could only see a momentary astonishment on the faces of the Southern War Zone generals.

Then came a look of vindication and pride, as if they weren’t surprised at all by Su Mu’s defeat of Ling Jue and taking first place.

Especially the highest commanders of the Southern War Zone, Yue Jun and Qian Xuemin, remained unruffled, as if everything up to this point was perfectly normal.

"Could it be..."

For a moment, all the generals of the Central War Zone looked incredulous, but was this really possible?

At this moment, the generals of the Southern War Zone felt a sense of uncovering the clouds, revealing the clear sky. If not for the presence of the Military Department elder, many Southern War Zone generals might have been unable to resist cheering.

Enduring ten days of repressive silence, enduring the entire first half of the competition.

The other four war zones had no shortage of sarcastic comments.

And now, here it was!

When the silent man finally roars!

It was time to give everyone a little shock from the Southern War Zone.

What new generation number one in the Central War Zone, what General Star List number one—all just because their Southern War Zone’s Su Mu hadn’t exerted force.

Now that the great sun of their Southern War Zone has risen, even Ling Jue can only fade into the background!

Yue Jun and Qian Xuemin exchanged a glance, then slightly raised the corners of their mouths.

But at this moment, a general from the Central War Zone still couldn’t help but raise an objection.

"Marshal Zhu, I object. Regarding this time’s merit leaderboard first place, Su Mu..."

"Everyone witnessed his performance in the competition. Him leading into the Ancient Battlefield was not simple, but his merits didn’t change in the ten days after entering the battlefield. I object to this sudden merit change..."

"We can’t transmit images back from within the Ancient Battlefield, so nobody witnessed the process. We should wait for the two of them to return, and settle this with a duel to see who truly prevails!"

"Yes, I second that!"

Though it was a Central War Zone general who raised the objection, soon generals from the other three war zones also added their agreement.

The competition of the Military Department must not allow a weakling to reach the top!

This is a matter of principle.

"I also second that."

Another general from the Western War Zone spoke up.

Just then, another general stepped forward, but before he could speak, a soldier in the bay cried out, "Look, it seems someone’s coming up."

"What a great display, this formidable aura, it must be Ling Jue returning!"

Could it be that Ling Jue is returning?

Suddenly, all eyes gathered, for once the two beneath the sea returned, everything would come to light.

At this moment, the calm sea surface suddenly surged violently, and the fleet of battleships started to sway, as the bay’s waterline surged upwards, as if some terrifying giant was about to break through the surface.

In an instant, a giant wave hundred meters high, rising to the heavens, slammed onto the battleship deck, emitting a heavy rumbling sound.

Then the waves sprayed, and a torrential downpour began over the bay.

Boom!

At this moment, the ’giant creature’ beneath the sea completely burst out from the surface.

Instantly, all the drones above the bay gathered toward the figure emerging from the sea, and a silhouette appeared on the screens of the various warships.

After the waves returned to the ocean, the bright noon sunlight spilled down, revealing a burly and tall figure within that golden light, with eyes as dazzling as the stars.

However, this figure was not the Ling Jue everyone had imagined.

Yet someone shouted tremblingly, "It’s Ling Jue, it’s Ling Jue!"

While everyone was puzzled, that person pointed in horror at a spot on the screen, and suddenly everyone widened their eyes, then all revealed the same look of terror.

The man standing in the void under the golden light was indeed not Ling Jue, but Ling Jue was also in the screen, only he wasn’t the main character.

At this moment...

The esteemed number one of the Central War Zone, Ling Jue, who had long dominated the merit list, was now being grabbed by the neck and held in the hand of this burly man.

That appearance...

Looked like a dead dog.

"This, this..."

All the generals who had previously raised objections couldn’t help but step back, even they, as high-ranking officers of various war zones, with strong psychological endurance, couldn’t hold it anymore.

The same shock naturally lay heavy on the hearts of all the General Stars participating in the competition; everyone’s brains felt as if they had been heavily struck and went blank, at this moment all their minds were completely unable to comprehend what was happening before their eyes.

The number one of the East, Ancient You, the number one of the North, Yan Wu, and the number one of the West, Zhou Lie, all began to question their existence.

From the beginning, the three of them treated Ling Jue as their biggest enemy.

Ling Jue was not just the top in the Central War Zone, but also the first among the new generation of General Stars in the Five Major War Zones, and he had already been in this position for many years.

Over the years, Ling Jue was like a towering mountain casting a long shadow over the hearts of all the young General Stars in the Five Major War Zones, even the other General Stars in the Central War Zone felt suffocated under his presence.

Thus, these people gritted their teeth, especially the few, including Ancient You, who trained madly, just to keep as close to Ling Jue’s pace as possible and not be left far behind.

Even during the ten days of the competition, others felt particularly oppressed, realizing the gap between them and Ling Jue was despairingly wide.

But today...

The mountain-like existence in their hearts, this insurmountable peak, at this moment, was being held like a dead dog by someone.

At this moment, Ancient You and others couldn’t help thinking.

Then what about them?

"This person is called Ling Jue... seems quite famous?"

"But indeed, he does have some strength."

Su Mu whispered, he didn’t recognize the person in his hand; at that time, he was in a crucial breakthrough moment and only knew that this person came to him, so naturally, he had to teach him a lesson.

Immediately, Su Mu casually tossed the person in his hand towards a battleship.

Ling Jue hit the deck, causing a loud crash as it dented.

Thud!

That sound wasn’t just hitting the deck, it felt like it struck everyone’s heart; many people shuddered all over and then snapped back to reality, their expressions twitching.

This action by Su Mu just now really seemed like throwing away trash.

But what he tossed was not some trash; it was Ling Jue!

Crack.

Seeing Ling Jue being casually thrown down, directly shattered the beliefs, even the Martial Arts Heart of many present!

Many Dao hearts quietly shattered and collapsed.

However, Su Mu didn’t care about these at all, at this moment, the Diamond Human Form within his Sea of Consciousness, the twenty-four Immortal Cells within his body, the Supreme Divine Soldier within his lungs, the two streams of Peak Blade Momentum, and those several Saint Realm Marks were all shaking violently.

Such a strong premonition.

Su Mu was well aware that his guess was not wrong, that person was going to descend today!

He just needed to do a little more preparation...

In a narrow path, the brave wins.

At the moment, his momentum, the invincible momentum had not yet been fully nurtured, ten days of seclusion had repressed his momentum, it hadn’t reached the peak, he needed a battle to warm up, to rise the invincible momentum!

He wanted to wield the invincible momentum and fight the Mortal Martial Saint!

Su Mu’s gaze fell upon the ten alloy martial arts platforms, he stepped forward and landed at the very center.

Then his eyes swept over the top General Stars in the bay, finally resting on the Central Battleship, then he spoke calmly.

"Today, Mu intends to shatter the high tower, crush the mountain peak..."

"To use the flesh and blood to attack the mortal god."

"I ask everyone to join me, to forge an invincible momentum for me, assist me, Su Mu!"

"I request permission from the Military Department!"

As Su Mu’s words fell, the bay above became calm and quiet as death.

...

"Time’s up, let’s depart." Qing Zhi whispered.

Seventeen figures no longer concealed their aurae, terrifying auras soared into the sky, transforming into seventeen sharp blades pointing directly at the bay sealed by the Military Department.
