Relying on this man's intuition.
Wang Mu believed he should make a move.
Some matters must be faced, whether it's life or death... ultimately, it will be revealed.
"Where are you going, kid?"
Cheng Tianyong was watching intently, as were the surrounding disciples, who were wholly focused on sensing the battle aura of the Ascension Realm experts.
Many disciples directly perceived breakthroughs from the remnants of that sword light just now.
The spiritual energy surges formed by the breakthrough at the Ascending Immortal Platform kept coming one after another.
"I want to go into the Illusion Realm," Wang Mu said.
"?" Cheng Tianyong.
"You brat..." He glared at Wang Mu, "Still want to watch the battle inside the Illusion Realm, huh? Only those at the Immortal Ascension Stage can enter; we can't get in."
"Are you looking for death?"
"Master, to tell you the truth, I'm actually an Ascension expert," Wang Mu said.
"..."
Cheng Tianyong was full of question marks.
Having been in the sect for over ten years, he knew Wang Mu's identity was somewhat mysterious and special...
But this...
"Are you worried about Elder Yan?" Cheng Tianyong frowned and said, "Don't worry; Elder Yan's strength is stronger than you think..."
Wang Mu shook his head, sighed lightly, and took a step forward.
In an instant, celestial spiritual energy tilted down like a flood from the sky. A surge of energy, seemingly black yet not black, seemingly purple yet not purple, enveloped Wang Mu's entire body, transforming into an incomparable aura like a great demon, with mingling multicolored mystical light, emerging with overwhelming might.
The air waves surged, transforming into a boundless storm of spiritual energy, spreading towards all directions.
"This is..."
Cheng Tianyong was shocked.
Something's off about this aura...
"I truly am in the Ascension Realm..."
Wang Mu laughed long, transforming into a streak of purple-black light, flying into the Illusion Realm.
Although... perhaps... he might not be able to sustain it for long.
Despite his strength being equivalent to the Ascension Realm, as for his realm, Wang Mu used the method of absorbing karma through the Heavenly Demon to quickly accelerate his cultivation; his immortal path realm wasn't that high.
But none of that mattered right now; the important thing was to go in and deal with these four, sending them off one by one.
As this streak of light entered the Illusion Realm, it immediately attracted countless cultivators' gazes.
Because...
No one knew who this Ascension Realm individual was...
Even the Sword Sect disciples were somewhat bewildered...
If you say a cultivator can achieve Nascent Soul in decades, that's undoubtedly a top-tier genius.
But to say someone can achieve Ascension in decades... sorry, that's definitely problematic, and probably no cultivator in the cultivation world would believe it.
So, for the Sword Sect disciples at this moment, they were a bit bewildered.
Does our Sword Sect have another Ascension expert?
The disciples who came with Wang Mu on the Immortal Boat were even more dumbfounded, with even the basic cognition of cultivation shattered, wearing a dreaming expression.
"Unstable Taoist Heart."
Cheng Tianyong's gaze followed the streak of light flying into the Illusion Realm, and his Taoist Heart, cultivated over a hundred years, was somewhat unstable.
"Could he really be..."
On the other side of the Ascending Immortal Platform.
"It's the Holy Master, definitely the Holy Master!"
Shuo Wuji was extremely excited, "The Holy Master has been disguised as Dongfang Mu for so long, is he finally making a move to deal with them?"
As the number one underling under Piao Miaoxu, he immediately sensed the aura.
No doubt, it's the Holy Master's aura!
Moreover...
Strong!
Beyond imagination strong!
The Holy Master had been missing for a long time, so much that he'd begun to doubt whether something had happened to the Holy Master.
Now it seems, surely the Holy Master has been biding time, waiting for the right moment...
——
Eight Desolate Illusion Realm.
Within the boundless darkness, the cabin was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly, the door was opened, as if a figure dashed out.
She gazed in a certain direction within the darkness.
The dead silent atmosphere fused perfectly with the darkness, without a trace of sound.
After a long while, a voice sounded, full of gnashing teeth:
"Damn it! Damn it!!!"
"How did this bastard... cultivate to this realm in such a short time!!"
"Impossible..."
The highest realm of the Heavenly Demon since its birth, only she, Heavenly Demon King Di Chen from tens of thousands of years ago, had reached this realm!
Back then, she stirred endless war in the contemporary era, absorbing immense world karma to become Heavenly Demon King Di Chen.
But now, she never expected, this bastard cultivated the Heavenly Demon Secret Technique, and in such a short time?
"Could it be... he took on their karma..."
As if realizing something.
Despite the darkness, it couldn't hide the jealous and angry expression on her face.
Especially since there was an inexplicable excitement in her pupils...
"What are you looking at?"
Inside the cabin, a curious voice sounded, "You can't go out, otherwise I'll destroy you."
"Hmph..."
——
Battle Illusion Realm.
With Wang Mu's arrival, the anomaly wave formed by the collision of the four's aura immediately dispersed.
The four scattered into lights and shadows, suddenly splitting apart, forming a quadrilateral configuration, collectively staring at the peculiar newcomer...
No... wait...
The other Ascension experts were also puzzled.
Almost all Ascension experts in the Nine Provinces were known, even the newly ascended ones had long made a name for themselves, renowned throughout.
What divine skills do they possess, what signature magic treasure, what cultivation technique they practice, almost everyone knows.
Recognizable just by aura.
And this one...
"Who is this person?"
"Such a strange aura..."
"Looks young... which newly ascended expert is this?"
"This aura, close to Ascension Peak, how could it be new? This must be someone who's been hidden away for a long time, a senior."
"..."
Wang Mu was now using the power of the Heavenly Demon from the Ninth Spirit Acupoint.
Not within the realm of immortal path, the power, though strange, exudes a proper aura.
