Chapter 573: Chapter 563: Sanctified Flesh! Forging the Ultimate Weapon!

Wu Di saw that there was no spiritual power fluctuation emanating from Su Mu, so he asked in confusion, "Could it be that Brother Su is also a body cultivator?"

Hearing this, Su Mu shook his head and said, "The body is indeed my main focus. I want to test my body cultivation with Brother Wu."

He didn’t hide anything and spoke openly.

With these words, a hint of surprise flashed in Wu Di’s eyes, but no other emotions. If it were anyone else, they would probably feel displeased by the other’s lack of regard, but not Wu Di; he felt more respect.

Because he sensed a faint pressure of vital blood force emanating from Su Mu, it was the first time Wu Di had felt this kind of body pressure.

"Brother Wu, don’t hold back, give it your all."

"I will also give it my all, without reservation."

With these words, Su Mu’s vital blood force erupted, and the extreme body pressure instantly enveloped this space.

Upon sensing Su Mu’s vital blood force, Wu Di’s eyes lit up, and a rare excitement flashed in his pupils. He couldn’t recall the last time he fought, but now his heart uncontrollably surged with fighting spirit.

"Good!"

In an instant, Wu Di’s vital blood force fully ignited, and the pressure intensified several times over!

Out of respect, he decided to show his strongest side without reservation.

However, even though this different dimension was far from the River of Time, it still existed above it, which somewhat suppressed Wu Di.

Su Mu constructed this space with a magical treasure, firstly for the convenience of battle, and secondly for fairness.

Because if they fought on the river, the water would provide him with a significant boost, making him almost invincible, which would obscure his true strength.

.....

"Brother Su, apologies!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Su Mu felt a chill on his chest, and the surrounding space instantly collapsed, trapping him in place.

Almost simultaneously, Wu Di’s right fist reached Su Mu’s chest, this punch was straightforward but powerful enough to shatter space.

Su Mu’s pupils contracted sharply, but he didn’t counter; instead, he took Wu Di’s punch head-on.

Bang—

A loud crash resounded through this void.

The punch landed squarely on Su Mu’s chest, and his body retreated half a step.

Wu Di didn’t expect Su Mu to have no means of countering and to take the punch so directly.

At the moment his punch connected with Su Mu’s chest, Wu Di felt as if he had struck an ancient holy beast, and his fist felt a faint pain.

Taking Wu Di’s punch head-on, Su Mu was also astonished; this was the first time he felt actual pain.

Both were greatly surprised.

......

"Brother Su, why didn’t you dodge?" Wu Di asked, puzzled.

In response, Su Mu didn’t answer and instead, filled with fighting spirit, said, "Continue!"

The next second, the two began to clash again, each punch landing solidly, shattering and restoring the space continuously.

Su Mu grew more excited as the battle continued; he was experiencing this extreme body clash for the first time, with no fancy techniques, just pure force!

Conversely, Wu Di initially had an advantage over Su Mu, but gradually, he found himself struggling.

Yet the more they fought, the stronger the opponent became, with his aura increasing every second!

Su Mu also fought freely; it was his first exhilarating melee battle.

They fought for countless rounds, for this extremely sturdy void had been shattered over a thousand times....

...

Suddenly, Wu Di stopped, gasping for breath, and cupped his hands, saying, "Brother Su, I lost."

After this battle, Wu Di knew the other’s strength far exceeded his own!

Despite not primarily focusing on body cultivation, the other could suppress him, and if the other went all out, Wu Di estimated he couldn’t last three rounds.

Though the outcome was not decided, Wu Di knew clearly that continuing would lead to an inevitable defeat, so there was no need to waste time.

.....

"Brother Wu, are you holding back?" Su Mu gave the other a chance to step down.

"I gave it my all." Wu Di initially probed, holding back, but by the end, he exerted all his strength, yet the opponent could still suppress him.

This clearly displayed the gap between them.

This was Su Mu’s first truly satisfying battle, leaving him wanting more.

It was also the first time in years that Su Mu encountered a cultivator whose body could rival his own, though there was still a gap.

But the gap wasn’t large.

....

Su Mu waved his hand, putting away the magical treasure, and the surrounding scene changed as the two returned to the open ground.

After this battle, their relationship clearly grew closer.

Su Mu acknowledged Wu Di’s strength.

Similarly, Wu Di acknowledged Su Mu’s strength!

He also made an important decision in his heart.

His lifelong dream was to craft the most powerful magical artifact in all the heavens and myriad realms, but he didn’t know who could use it to unleash its full power.

Now he found someone, and that person was Su Mu.

The identity of the Time River Guardian, coupled with his profound strength, meant the strongest artifact would shine only in his hands.

He had been diligently cultivating the path of forging along the River of Time for a long time. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

As long as the materials, timing, and environment were right, he possessed the capability to create the strongest artifact.

But he still lacked an opportunity, or rather a "noble person."

And now, it seemed he found him, this renowned River Guardian before him!

....

After a long silence, Wu Di raised his head and said solemnly to Su Mu, "Brother Su, I want to ask you for a favor."

To craft it, relying solely on his own strength seemed impossible.

There were three most important conditions, and only Su Mu could help him achieve them.

.....

Hearing this, Su Mu was slightly surprised, then said, "Go ahead, if it’s within my capabilities, I will certainly help you."

"I want to craft the strongest weapon in my heart."

"But currently, I lack the three most important conditions."

"These three conditions, only you, Brother Su, can assist me with."

Hearing this, Su Mu was intrigued and asked, "What are the conditions? Just say it."

"A forging environment."

"A forging material."

"A forging time."

After he finished speaking, Wu Di handed Su Mu a parchment.

Taking the parchment and opening it, Su Mu found it was a design blueprint.

After reading it, Su Mu also had a peculiar expression.
