Chapter 636: Chapter 432: Destiny and Power of Incense, Martial Saint Descends, Su Mu Must Die Today; Any Objections from the Military Department?

Wind!

Great wind!

After Su Mu threw a punch, he fell into contemplation. In his Sea of Consciousness, the Diamond Human Form quietly opened its eyes, and a Supreme Martial God Wheel descended. He quietly entered the Martial God State.

In the Martial God State, Su Mu immediately felt unprecedented power. He originally thought the key to this state was the Diamond Human Form, but he didn’t expect that after transforming into the Fixed Star Immortal Body, the Martial God State became even stronger.

This was an all-encompassing strength without dead angles.

But at present, this was not Su Mu’s main focus. In the Martial God State, he could feel the invisible momentum above the bay becoming clearer.

This was the Power of Destiny from all the soldiers of the Five Major War Zones present in the bay.

Su Mu glanced over the excited expressions of the soldiers, and suddenly had a new understanding. This invisible momentum was not purely the Power of Destiny; it also mixed with the Power of Incense and Faith from the world.

The Power of Incense and Faith came from all directions, continuously flowing into Su Mu’s body. He could feel the new batch of Immortal Cells within him rapidly transforming.

This grandeur of Power of Incense and Faith, although not as rapidly enhancing Su Mu’s cultivation as directly devouring the Master of Black Fog’s black mist, was still incredibly formidable, far superior to consuming ordinary Spirit Marrow or Elixirs.

"Perhaps I still underestimated the Martial Saints of this world..."

Su Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly. At this moment, all the soldiers on the bay felt reverence and fervor toward him, further generating this invisible momentum of Power of Incense and Faith.

Since Su Mu could achieve this at the moment...

What about the seven Martial Saints of Huaxia?

"The seven Martial Saints of Huaxia would also have momentum upon them, and it would only be more magnificent than what I am currently receiving... Being the Martial Saints of contemporary Huaxia, they constantly receive the reverence and worship of millions of Huaxia’s citizens and Martial Artists..."

"Like divine spirits walking on earth for Huaxia, to what terrifying extent could they improve themselves from it?"

Su Mu suddenly realized this point.

The Martial Dao Civilization has been around for over a thousand years. The earliest Human Great Sages and a group of Martial Saints who lived and died for the survival of humanity laid an unshakeable millennium foundation for future generations’ faith in Martial Saints.

The current Martial Saints, though maybe not as powerful as the initial group, might not be weaker if it came to a life-and-death battle.

The power of the initial Martial Saints was undeniable, but because the survival of the race was at stake, they often did not live long, and dying in battle was almost their destiny.

The initial Martial Saints didn’t have enough time to develop and accumulate, whereas the current era’s Martial Saints live longer in this peace era.

They stand as the strongest at the peak of Martial Arts of this age, enjoying the praise and admiration of the multitude.

Like gods in the human world, over the years, to what extent will the Power of Incense and Faith elevate their strength?

Could they even surpass the initial Martial Saints?

"However, it’s only better this way; the stronger the opponent, the more my preparations will not have been in vain!"

In the Martial God State, Su Mu found that although this invisible momentum was constantly enhancing his strength, it also caused the immortal power nurtured in the new batch of Immortal Cells to be tainted with incense power.

The Immortal Power tainted with incense power was no longer pure, nor as smooth to command, with a slight stagnation appearing in its operation.

Immediately, Su Mu took a deep breath. The Diamond Human Form reflected upon his flesh and merged into one, and he actively incited the Desolate Thought to cut off the incense power from entering his body.

"Ultimately, the Power of Incense is just an external force..."

"Relying on external things is akin to personally putting on a shackle. The longer you accept the incense power, the stronger the shackle will grow, ultimately becoming an unbreakable cage without you realizing it, eventually following the path of the current Martial Saints..."

"Only by abandoning this external force from the beginning can I, Su Mu, rid myself of all their shadows, thoroughly transcend the current Martial Saints, and walk the Martial Arts path that belongs uniquely to me!"

"My goal, Su Mu, is not merely to become a Martial Saint but to surpass them!"

After sealing off the incense power, Su Mu instantly felt a weakening in his body’s strength, but at the moment when his mind was clear, his invincible momentum not only did not diminish but increased instead!

Even the two Peak Blade Momentum that had been dormant in his Sea of Consciousness for many days was also showing signs of movement, and in a daze, Su Mu seemed to see two supreme intents spanning the heavens and earth.

These were the Sword Intents above the two Blade Momentums.

"My choice was indeed correct..."

Muttering softly, Su Mu raised his eyes slightly, looking in a certain direction. Seventeen sharp streaks of light were cutting through the sky, directly targeting and locking onto him, Su Mu.

Su Mu sensed a consistent aura in these people, with varying degrees of murderous intent.

"Have they finally arrived?"

"Perfect timing!"

Su Mu’s eyes brightened slightly. His gaze passed through these seventeen people and looked far away, at the seemingly empty firmament, where a terrifying aura far surpassing all present was lurking.

He knew that the person had also arrived, silently overlooking everything from the dark.

"To act in such manner truly implies considering oneself as a god of the human world..."

"But can you really defeat me, Su Mu, today?"

Su Mu muttered, and the twenty-four Immortal Cells within him were burning fiercely.

...

"It seems we came at the right time. This kid seems to have just won first place in the Military Department’s competition, and now he’s basking in the admiration of the Military Department and the Five Major War Zones..."
