Since the death of the Nether Great Emperor, the Heavenly Dao the Netherworld has been reduced to mere instinctual consciousness. Theoretically, it would be extremely difficult for anyone to borrow its power.
The reason why the three great holy kings were able to receive the favor of the Heavenly Dao is because they possessed vast territories and ruled over countless people. The will of the Heavenly Dao is the will of all living beings, which is why they received special care from the Heavenly Dao.
It is precisely for this reason that the three Holy Kings established Imperial Court and fought for territory, because once someone can rule over all living beings in the entire Netherworld, he will receive the sole favor of the Heavenly Dao the Netherworld.
At that time, it will be much easier for that person to become a god, and even if they cannot become a god, they will have the same strength as the gods.
The lightning power that Chen Mu has summoned now exceeds the limit that normal magic can bring. There is only one possibility for this situation: he has also received the favor of the Heavenly Dao.
However, Chen Mu was well aware that the reason he was able to mobilize the power of the Netherworld was not because he had received the favor of the Heavenly Dao, but because of the Law Cloak.
Since his last battle with Chu Xuanzi, Chen Mu has not tried to fully utilize the computing power of the Rune Core. After all, he now has a large and powerful family business, and many things in the entire Manju Imperial Court need to be maintained by artificial intelligence.
In the past six months, he has acquired abundant resources in the Netherworld, and the computing power of the supercomputer he created has been continuously improved, with its performance more than a hundred times better than before.
Therefore, even he himself did not expect that when he used all his computing power to construct the Law Cloak again, it actually penetrated the rules of the Heavenly Dao and borrowed some of the power of the Heavenly Dao of the Netherworld.
Thunderclap! Boom!
Chen Mu controlled endless lightning, growing stronger with each battle. Although Ren Changsheng was ruthless, he was completely helpless against him, which made Chen Mu so angry that even his skull nose started to emit gray smoke.
On the other side, the Asura Sacred King's strength was not much stronger than that of the Manju Sacred King to begin with. Now, affected by the Nether Rebirth Formation, he was suppressed by the Manju Sacred King and could not make any progress.
"I never imagined that the talisman master who has recently gained fame is the person behind the Manju Sacred King!"
But wasn't he supposed to be just a young man with a low cultivation level? What's going on with his current strength?!
The Asura Sacred King had originally placed his hopes of breaching the palace primarily on Ren Changsheng, since the strongest being in the Netherworld was at the Saint Level Peak. He believed that as long as he could entangle the Manju Sacred King, no one could stop him.
But then he realized that Chen Mu was blocking Ren Changsheng, and his face immediately turned extremely ugly.
Of the remaining four subordinates, only Wu Qianqiu could cause some damage to the palace's defenses; the others fared no well at all within the Nether Rebirth Formation.
If things continue at this pace, our advantage will only diminish, and dragging it out might even lead to a counterattack, especially since we're currently on their home turf.
"What a bunch of useless cowards! I must reorganize the intelligence department when I get back."
Thinking this, the Asura Sacred King exerted his power wildly, forcing the Manju Sacred King back.
" Manju, since you're so stubborn, don't blame me! Starting tomorrow, prepare to face the army of my Asura Imperial Court!"
After saying that, he turned and flew away without looking back.
Seeing that the Asura Sacred King had left, his Asura Sacred King naturally didn't linger. They readily abandoned their opponent and turned to flee.
Before leaving, Ren Changsheng carefully examined Chen Mu and let out a laugh that sounded like a grinder, full of hidden meaning.
"You are special. We will meet again."
Chen Mu was naturally not intimidated by him, and too lazy to say anything polite, so he just coldly watched the other person leave.
Only after all the enemies had gone far away did everyone feel as if they had been granted a pardon, and they landed on the ground to meditate and rest.
the next day.
Yesterday's battle left the Manju Imperial Court's experts severely depleted, especially the Manju Sacred King, who fought three top-tier masters in succession and will likely take several months to fully recover.
However, bad news kept coming from the palace early in the morning. Even if the Manju Sacred King was unwilling, he had to show up in person and take charge of the situation.
"Your Majesty! Last night, Undead Tide broke out across various regions, attacking many settlements and causing heavy casualties."
"Your Majesty! A million-strong army is gathering on the border of Asura, their intentions are obvious. We urge Your Majesty to make a decision."
"Your Majesty! Since the death of the Supreme Evil Sacred King yesterday, the Imperial Court has fallen into chaos."
Meanwhile, Grand Marshal Ren Lie has seized command of the Eastern Military Region and is now deploying troops, seemingly intending to send troops against us.
The Manju Sacred King was immediately at her wit's end. The Asura Sacred King had been planning for many years and was well-prepared. Now that he had made his move, he had many methods and Myriad Bolts of Thunder. She had no idea how to deal with him.
" Mingye, quickly get Chen Mu over here. In the current situation, we can only rely on his army of Talisman Puppet."
Mingye didn't expend much energy yesterday, so he also attended the morning court session.
"Okay! I'll tell him he'll be there in a bit."
Half an incense stick's time later, Chen Mu arrived at the Council Hall, looking travel-worn, but he also looked embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, in yesterday's battle with the Undead Supreme, I borrowed the power of a large number of Rune Artifacts within the Imperial Court, which resulted in some of the Talisman Puppet being damaged."
Therefore, the number of Talisman Puppet that can be dispatched at present is not large. I will step up my supervision in the next few days and try to increase the number of Talisman Puppet as much as possible.
When fighting the Undead Supreme, Chen Mu dared not hold back. After all, the Undead Supreme was a whole realm higher than him. If he didn't go all out, he wouldn't even know how he died in a minute.
Although the Rune Core equipped on the robots were relatively low-level, the combined computing power of all the robots in the Manju Imperial Court was considerable, so he certainly wouldn't let them go.
He hadn't expected that his battle with the Undead Supreme yesterday would paralyze all the robots in the entire Manju Imperial Court. Even after he released his computing power, he still burned the Rune Core of half of the robots.
Fortunately, apart from the robot's Rune Core, the Rune Core structures he designed for other smart devices were relatively stable and rarely damaged; otherwise, this would have been a devastating loss for him.
"Okay, I understand! There's nothing we can do about it, just do your best."
The Manju Sacred King naturally dared not blame Chen Mu. Instead, she comforted Chen Mu for a few moments before frowning and thinking of other solutions.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, we don't necessarily need to focus solely on defense at this time; appropriate expansion would also be a good opportunity."
Seeing the Manju Sacred King's predicament, Chen Mu couldn't help but offer his advice.
"Huh? Our defensive capabilities are insufficient right now, so how can we possibly expand?"
"I am puzzled," said the Manju Sacred King.
Haha! Expansion doesn't necessarily have to involve force.
Think about it! The Extreme Evil Imperial Court is in complete chaos right now, a tempting piece of meat. If we can win over the people there, wouldn't that greatly strengthen our nation?"
Chen Mu spoke eloquently and expansively.
