188: Chapter 187 Retrieving the Soul Grass from the Northern Region

"Hey, Xiao Ye, hurry up."

Xing Mu urged him. Although she wasn't rushing toward the south, she had a goal in mind, and the direction she was traveling was always toward the north.

Ye Xiu didn't say anything.

He was already chasing after her with all his might.

If the two of them were in the endless Chaos at their current speed, they would have likely already reached a region that no one had ever explored before.

One month later.

Xing Mu stopped in her tracks.

Before them was a massive world with an extremely dense aura of life. Although it was far inferior to the Main World, it was not something an ordinary Domain could compare to.

"Venerable Mu?"

As the two of them stopped,

An astonished voice immediately rang out from within the Domain.

In a mere instant,

Two figures of the Supreme Realm appeared before them.

"It really is you, Venerable Mu!"

Li Rong's eyes showed a look of pleasant surprise. Upon seeing Xing Mu, he immediately led the person beside him in a deep bow.

"Li Rong, not bad. I haven't seen you in all these years, and you've already become an Immortal King. This Palace asks you, have you seen any soul-returning grass?"

"soul-returning grass? The growth conditions for that medicinal herb are harsh. In recent years, the Eastern Region has been overseen by several commanders like the Martial Venerable, the Battle Method Immortal Venerable, and the Demon Venerable, and no battles between the Supreme Realm have broken out among the major forces, so there shouldn't be any soul-returning grass growing."

Li Rong, dressed in opulent robes, replied.

"Then it seems we can only go to the Southern Region."

"Venerable Mu, King Teng, whom you killed back then, has already been revived in the Southern Region and holds a high position. If you go there, Venerable Mu, I'm afraid you will be besieged. Please think twice."

"King Teng? Heh... nothing more than a clown."

Xing Mu didn't take the so-called King Teng to heart, even though that person was indeed brilliant enough that his combat power wasn't even inferior to the Blade Master.

But that was all.

"Venerable Mu, the Northern Region has been in constant war for years, so there should be plenty of soul-returning grass there. If you want to obtain some, you can head to the Northern Region."

"The Northern Region? I suppose I can take a look. Ye Xiu, let's go."

Xing Mu nodded, and as soon as she finished speaking, she took a step forward and vanished.

Ye Xiu glanced at the two of them.

His heart was slightly shaken; there were indeed countless powerful experts within the Sea of Domains.

Over the past few months,

He had already seen several who had achieved Immortal Ascension with cultivation levels above his own.

The two people before him were Cultivators of the Immortal Realm, one an Immortal Lord and the other an Immortal King. If placed in the Main World, they would immediately be the leaders of a hegemon-level power.

Without much further exchange,

Ye Xiu stepped forward to chase after Xing Mu.

After the two had left,

Li Rong remained speechless for a long time.

"Your Majesty, now that Venerable Mu has returned to the Sea of Domains, I'm afraid the Eastern Region is about to be thrown into turmoil again."

"Venerable Mu's aura has become even more terrifying. I'm afraid she has already surpassed the Human Emperor who guards the source of the River of Time. If the Imperial Court really intends to march into the Eastern Region, I'm afraid the Eastern Region will be turned upside down."

Li Rong looked in the direction where the two had disappeared, a trace of worry appearing in his eyes.

The good days for the Eastern Region were likely coming to an end.

On the other side,

Ye Xiu looked at Xing Mu and asked, "You seem to have quite a few acquaintances in the Eastern Region?"

"Heh... back then, when this Palace campaigned across the Sea of Domains, I conquered most of the Eastern Region. If that coward of a Human Emperor hadn't stopped me, the entire Eastern Region would have had to submit beneath my skirts."

"So these Domains are all territories you conquered back then?"

"Naturally. Wherever this Palace went, all submitted. Those who weren't afraid of death were simply beaten to death." Xing Mu's tone was very calm, as if she didn't find this matter shocking at all.

Hearing Xing Mu's calm words,

Ye Xiu felt a bit suspicious in his heart.

Back then, Xing Mu's strength was at most at the ordinary Venerable Realm. How could she have conquered such a vast territory?

After all, during these days in the Sea of Domains,

Ye Xiu had also sensed quite a few auras of the Venerable Realm. These experts shouldn't have been afraid of Xing Mu back then, right?

Could it be that the Human Emperor had some hidden cards that made these existences at or above the Venerable Realm not dare to act against Xing Mu?

Or perhaps the Imperial Court had other powerful allies who held back some terrifying existences for Xing Mu, allowing her to proceed so smoothly?

He shook his head slightly.

He didn't dwell on it too much.

Ye Xiu looked at Xing Mu, who was leading the way, and began to chase with all his might.

The speed of the two was extremely fast.

While traveling at full speed, they didn't hide their auras much.

As time passed,

The Eastern Region was shaken.

Venerable Mu, who was rumored to have perished back then, had returned to the Sea of Domains, and her strength was even greater than before.

This news was absolutely explosive.

The three major commanders of the Eastern Region also had varying thoughts.

The Taichu Domain.

Listening to his subordinate's report, the Martial Venerable suddenly burst into laughter.

"Sister Xing Mu is not bad. Back then, this Venerable felt that girl was quite a character. To think she has been revived again. It's time to sweep through the Eastern Region."

As the Martial Venerable spoke, a terrifying killing intent was revealed in his eyes.

How could he not know about the matters of the Main World?

He was simply following the flow.

The Taichu Era had long since passed. The Main World involved extremely terrifying existences and was the base of the Imperial Court; if it was to be unified, then so be it.

For the forces of Taichu, there wasn't much of a loss.

"Venerable, should we restart the Alliance plan with the Imperial Court?" a general of the King Realm asked respectfully.

"No need. This Venerable will personally discuss this matter with the Human Emperor. You all strengthen your guard and prevent any disturbances within our jurisdiction."

The Martial Venerable gave his orders.

After speaking, he had already vanished.

Three months later.

The Northern Region was thick with the aura of death and blood.

In this layered region of the Sea of Domains, battles between the Supreme Realm were breaking out at every moment.

"It seems we've come to the right place."

Xing Mu's double pupils flickered as images flashed rapidly through her eyes.

After a short moment,

She spoke again: "Found it."

With that, she took another step and headed toward the depths of the Northern Region.

As they went deeper into the Northern Region,

The energy of death turned into a black mist, drifting over countless Domains, making this Sea of Domains look extremely eerie.

Half an hour later,

The two entered a deathly silent great world.

In this great world, ancient altars were lined up in various directions. Three Supreme Realm experts were sitting cross-legged on the altars, performing an ancient ritual.

After the two entered the Domain,

The attention of the three Supreme Realm experts immediately converged on them; clearly, they were not very welcoming.

To this,

Xing Mu was indifferent: "The soul-returning grass grows next to the Domain Origin. You go straight and take it. As for these three things that don't know whether they're dead or alive, leave them to this Palace."

As she spoke...

An aura that shook the heavens and earth erupted within the Dead Realm.

The three people originally sitting on the altars looked at each other across the endless distance, and all of them erupted with surging Battle Intent.

"Your Excellency, what is the meaning of this?"

"This Palace only wants the soul-returning grass. If you don't want to die, then keep sitting there."

"This grass is the transformation of our race's Emperor. Our race is working hard to revive him. We hope Your Excellency can stay your hand; our race is willing to gift a thousand immortal crystals to compensate for Your Excellency's loss."

"Immortal crystals? Quite a generous offer. But, what if this Palace insists on taking it?"

"Our race is under the protection of the Venerable Ti of the Northern Region. We hope Your Excellency can accept our race's apology for the sake of the Venerable Ti's Face."

"Hehe... Venerable Ti? Never heard of him. Ye Xiu, why haven't you moved? Do you not want it?"

Xing Mu curled her lip slightly and urged him.

Ye Xiu didn't say a word. His immortal power erupted as he charged directly toward the Domain Origin.

"How dare you!"

The three Supreme Realm experts were furious and immediately rose from the altars, wanting to intercept Ye Xiu.

Unfortunately...

Xing Mu took a step forward, and her form split into three.

They spread out.

With a single palm strike each, she blasted the three of them directly into the ground.

"Does a flickering candle dare to compete with the sun and moon? You are but a mantis trying to stop a carriage, seeking your own destruction. While this Palace doesn't want to kill anyone yet, get lost."

"You go too far!"

The three were enraged.

Although they only had the strength of the Monarch Realm, they could still fight against the King Realm when combined.

Kill!

Amidst the explosive shouts,

The three turned into black streaks of light and charged at Xing Mu.

Boom...

The Domain shook.

Xing Mu, split into three bodies, was unimaginably powerful, suppressing the three with an almost crushing posture.

However, the current Xing Mu was not yet able to kill three Supreme Realm experts in a short amount of time.

After all, a body dominated by Xing Mu could not fully exert the total combat power of the three bodies combined; at most, she could only use a fraction of her strength.

But even this fraction of strength was much stronger than an ordinary Venerable Realm expert.

"Damn it, she's in the Venerable Realm."

"Third brother, let's go. This woman's strength is not at all inferior to that of the Venerable Ti."

After several exchanges,

The three didn't dare to linger in the fight.

Only someone in the Venerable Realm could crush them so easily, and the fact that this suppression was happening simultaneously was somewhat terrifying.

Even among those in the Venerable Realm,

The opponent was an extremely powerful existence.
