第321章 天地熔炉，铸我真身！

天地为熔炉，众生皆艰苦。
动乱开启之后，这个世界的所有人都被卷入到了旋涡之中！
The Dai Xia royal family initially thought they could easily take down Su Hongjun, this dandy.
However, after the loss of his father, Su Hongjun suddenly grew up, and he seemed to have transformed into a completely different person.
在他的带领下，北凉顽强反抗。
打了几次胜仗后，借机拉拢了许多苏神将的旧部，使他们反水投靠了北凉。
如此一来，苏宏骏势力大涨，威望更盛！
他率领军队一口气反扑了数百里，夺取城池几十座，杀的大夏军官节节败退！
其中一人，表现极为突出。
此人便是苏大傻，或者说力魄苏木。
Months ago, Su Hongjun sent someone to search for this legendary fierce bandit, and surprisingly, they did find him.
Coincidentally, Su Mu was nearby in northern Liang.
When the two met, they felt a strong sense of familiarity and were eager to become sworn brothers on the spot.
Subsequently, Xu Suhongjun appointed Li Po Su Mu as the commander of the vanguard, leading the most elite troops to confront the Da Xia army.
He also specially crafted a huge suit of armor and a one-and-three-cubit-long God-slaying Spear for Li Po Su Mu.
Sure, here's the translation of the provided text while preserving the original HTML tags:```htmlArmor weighs one hundred and thirty catties.
The Halberd outshines, weighing one hundred and eighty-eight catties!
Adding up to over three hundred catties in weight, it can crush all the fierce generals of the world.
But Li Po Su Mu's inhuman physique can control this equipment and transform into a terrifying demon!```
The armored and weapon-bearing Luopo Sumu weighs over 600 pounds and resembles an iron-clad behemoth that instills fear in all who behold it!
Combined with its terrifying strength and powerful regenerative abilities, Luopo Sumu becomes the nightmare of all Great Xia officers and soldiers!
身躯一撞，便会有十几具尸体被撞的四散乱飞、骨骼尽碎。
霸王枪一扫，更是血肉横飞，尸骨无存！
在表现最亮眼的一场战斗中，力魄苏木一人一枪，闯入敌方军阵中大杀特杀。
He actually managed to kill tens of thousands of enemy soldiers with ease, without any ability to stop him.
Finally, with a burst of power, he killed Forceful Soul Sumu and charged towards the enemy commander. With a single slap, he shattered the man's head.
With the main general dead and the incredible performance of the fierce and unyielding Su Mu demon, this elite army completely collapsed!
The soldiers fled or surrendered.
No one dared to face the charge of the powerful Su Mu any longer!
"It seems that I become stronger as I fight, and I am not far from achieving the Great Consummation of Body Refinement."
"Huh? What is the Great Consummation of Body Refinement?"
The thought suddenly popped up in Li Po Sumu's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
After experiencing battle after battle, Li Po Sumu became more and more pure, to the point of ultimate purity!
In his beliefs, there was only one word left - battle!
Battle across the four seas and eight wastelands, battle across the heavens and earth!
The consciousness of Li Po Su Mu is born in battle and will only perish in battle.
Or perhaps it will not perish, but rather be honed to become as strong as steel, able to penetrate anything!
On the battlefield, Li Po Su Mu's killing intent solidifies like substance, with eyes blood-red as if ready to devour anyone in its path.
别说与之对视了，普通的士兵甚至不敢靠近他！
一旦来到力魄苏木方圆十米的距离，就会感受到浑身不适、心头压抑、惴惴不安。
It's as if he's being stalked by a fierce beast, with the constant threat of death looming!
But just then, a beautiful little fox climbs onto his shoulder and licks his cheek.
Li Po Su Mu's murderous aura dissipates instantly, once again revealing a touch of simple and honest smile.
Just as pure as he is, he still remembers the little fox.
He touched the little fox's head and returned to the camp, no longer participating in cleaning up the battlefield.
……
With the help of Li Po Su Mu, the Northern Liang army repeatedly won great victories and their morale soared.
Given this situation, many of Su Shenjiang's former subordinates have joined forces with Su Hongjun, allowing his territory to expand several times over.
However, the Xia Empire still holds control over 80% of the land and was able to stabilize the situation by sending out a force several times larger than the army of Northern Liang.
双方暂时陷入了僵持阶段。
……
这一天深夜，力魄苏木正在睡觉。
忽然，一个黑影出现在了他的军帐中。
“Wuwuwu~~~”
小狐狸瞬间惊醒，发出呜咽的声音。
但奇怪的是，她从这个入侵者的身上感受到了一股温暖、熟悉的感觉。
这让她的呜咽没有半点威胁的感觉，仿佛像是在撒娇。
However, this was enough to awaken Lipo Sumu.
His huge and powerful body sat up from the special large bed, and he asked in a deep voice:
"Who are you?"
Like the little fox, he didn't sense any killing intent from the newcomers. Instead, he felt an incredibly familiar feeling, similar to when he met Su Hongjun.
With a wave of his hand, the candles in the military tent suddenly lit up.
By the flickering light, Lipo Sumu saw that the newcomer was a young Taoist of average height, with a smile on his face and a mysterious aura about him.
This person is Su Mu, the fate soul who has been observing him and Su Hongjun for a long time.
To be precise, he is Su Mu's main consciousness.
At this moment, he has not only awakened all of his memories, but also merged with his essence.
三魂七魄，以他为主。
……
苏木打量着力魄，满意的点了点头道：
“不错不错，你已完成了试炼。”
“力魄主杀伐争战，战之一道已至纯粹。”
"After completing the trial, with the same cultivation level, I will surely be able to exert more powerful combat strength!"
As he spoke, he looked at the little fox again, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.
"And there's you, the essence of Dream Lian. I didn't expect you to continue being a demon in this illusory world."
This is already the third soul fragment of Dream Lian that Sumu has encountered.
There was even one before who became married to Sumu's own soul fragment.
They used to live a happy life in the countryside, with men farming and women weaving, but now everything has been disrupted.
The challenges they face are just beginning, and it will be a long journey to achieve greatness.
Therefore, Su Mu did not go to find them and continued to let them roam freely.
……
"What are you saying?"
力魄木木的说着，心中隐约有种奇异的感悟。
闻言，苏木先是笑了笑，随后面色一肃，闪身瞬间出现在力魄的面前，一指点在了他的眉心处。
"Wake up!"
```htmlWith a loud shout, his soul felt as if struck by lightning, trembling violently.
Remembered it.
He remembered everything!
He was Sumu.
He was the Demon Emperor Sumu, the King of Jizhou Sumu!
Countless fragments of memories awakened.```
To be precise, it's not awakening but regaining.
Li Po is a part of Su Mu's three-point seven soul, mainly used for killing and fighting, destined to be like an ironclad fool.
As Su Mu pointed, Li Po gradually merged into his body, and his previous memories naturally returned.
当一切都想起的时候，那好似蛮牛的力魄已经消失不见了。
命魂、力魄、精魄，融为一体！
……
“很好，又收回来一个。”
```htmlAfter integrating with the power of the soul, Sumu's eyes lit up with a gleam, feeling filled with strength all over.
He waved to the little fox and said:
"Let's go, follow me to continue this trial together."```
Upon hearing this, the young fox seemed to understand but still obediently jumped onto his shoulder.
For some reason, she just trusted this man.
In the dark of night, the man and the fox gradually faded away, disappearing into the military camp.
On the early morning of the following day, the news of the disappearance of the famous general had alarmed the current King of Northern Liang, Su Hongjun.
Su Hongjun was first shocked, but soon looked in a certain direction as if he had some sort of realization.
隐约间，他感觉自己似乎有什么未完成的使命。
使命达成之时，一切都将揭晓。
……
力魄的消失，对北凉军来说是一个巨大的损失！
Big Xia seized the opportunity to launch a counter-attack and made Su Hongjun suffer some losses.
All of this was calculated by Su Mu.
The three souls and seven spirits of living beings each have their own duties and responsibilities.
Each one must be powerful and coordinated!
The three souls are the main part, and the seven po are the secondary part.
There are many negative emotions among the seven po.
For example, there are negative emotions such as bad temper and bloodthirstiness in the strength po.
Some people have weak three souls and cannot suppress their seven spirits.
This can lead to situations where emotions cannot be controlled.
For example, sudden rage or inexplicable emotional lows, and so on.
在轮回珠的这个试炼空间中，三魂七魄都必须达到它的要求，方能通过试炼。
在苏木看来，这次试炼非常不错。
是一次洗礼魂魄的绝佳机会！
This trial is like a cleansing of the body and soul.
However, it is extremely difficult, and there is almost no possibility for an ordinary person to pass it.
Just the separation of a soul is enough to make even a martial god-level cultivator hesitant.
更别说十分的魂魄得完成各自的试炼，最后还得融合起来。
幸运的是，苏木早就适应了轮回，第二点对他来说不是问题。
The only thing to do now is to let each soul complete the trial and transform into something stronger and purer!
The reason why we didn't stay behind to help Tianhun is to let him experience more hardships.
要是苏木亲自下场帮忙，那就达不到试炼的效果了，天魂也无法成功蜕变。
……
苏木融合力魄离开后，天魂的境况变得有些糟糕。
But this has stimulated his potential, and he continued to transform in repeated battles.
At the same time, Su Mu searched all over the world and found all the other seven soul fragments.
另外还找到了一些梦璃的分魂分魄。
这小狐妖的魂魄在这个虚幻的世界中，有些幻化成了人族、有些幻化成了妖族，有些幻化成了鬼魅。
The most outrageous thing about her was her earth soul.
Mengli's earth soul transformed into a painted skin female ghost, infiltrating the Da Xia Palace and using illusions to bewitch the Da Xia Emperor.
Even more terrifying than the legendary Daji!
而且这个世界的皇室没有龙气护体，挡不住鬼魅妖魔的侵蚀。
估计用不了多久，大夏皇帝就要被她给整死了。
说不定梦璃的地魂会成为大夏历史上的第一尊女皇，和他的天魂相互厮杀、争夺天下！
想到这，苏木就有些哭笑不得。
不过梦璃的分魂分魄完全沉浸在这个世界中，没有半点苏醒的迹象。
苏木估计她是没什么希望度过试炼了。
等他完成试炼后，还得将这个小狐狸给捞出来，不然她将永远沉沦于此！
…………
一个月，一座苍茫大山上，一群江湖人士正在围攻一只巨型黑虎。
Black tiger roared, its claws and teeth were all dripping with blood, and there were a dozen corpses scattered around its body.
But the remaining martial artists were not willing to give up.
“Everyone, this is a demonic tiger!”
"The killer god in the Northern Liang army became so powerful by drinking the blood of an equivalent monster."
"As long as we unite to kill this monster, we can become as powerful as him and unstoppable like him!"
Sure, here's the translation while preserving the original HTML tags:```htmlDespite heavy casualties, in the face of enormous benefits, all these martial artists became bloodthirsty.
They regrouped and rushed towards the Black Tiger with howls.
Unfortunately, they still underestimated the strength of the Black Tiger.```
After fifteen minutes, more than forty martial artists lay dead on the ground, their blood staining the floor.
Only a young female warrior remained, standing amidst the pile of corpses and trembling against the stone wall.
Her hands holding the sword were trembling violently, almost unable to hold onto the hilt anymore.
The giant black tiger, covered in blood and filled with murderous intent, stepped on corpses and advanced towards her step by step.
At this moment, the young woman regretted to the extreme!
She and her fellow apprentice passed by this place and heard that there was a tiger demon lurking here, coincidentally a group of martial artists were gathered together to prepare to kill the demon and share its blood.
The two of them immediately joined in eagerly.
Who would have thought that over forty skilled and well-equipped martial artists from the martial world would be killed without leaving a single one behind!
By the end, even escaping became a luxury they couldn't afford!
大山之中想要逃过猛虎的追杀，无异于痴人说梦。
更别说是这种近乎成妖的黑虎了。
在她之前，有数人要逃，结果没逃出几步便被追上杀死。
She couldn't even buy herself some time to escape!
……
"Bang!"
Watching the black tiger approaching step by step, the female martial artist in the Jianghu finally broke down.
She dropped her sword and sat on the ground, powerless, waiting for death to come.
Soon, the black tiger arrived in front of her and looked down at her from a high position.
The coldness in its eyes was almost solidified!
Its gaping blood-red mouth was slowly opening!
But in the next second, the black tiger suddenly stopped.
It seemed to have sensed something and leaned over to sniff at the woman of the jianghu, then turned and left.
This bizarre turn of events left the woman of the jianghu stunned in place.
She was initially overjoyed, grateful to have survived.
But when she thought of her fellow apprentice's tragic death, she couldn't help but cover her face and weep.
"Why? Why didn't you kill me? Why? Waaahhh~~~"
“因为，你已有身孕。”
正当江湖女子痛哭之时，一个平和的声音在她身旁响起。
侧头一看，是一个年轻的道人，身上似有种神秘莫测的气息，让人望而生畏。
“身、身孕？”
江湖女子呆呆的说道。
这事，她自己都不知道。
Yes.
苏木答了一声，随后不再管她，面带笑意的向灵魄、也就是那头黑虎追去。
```htmlFinally, the soul has completed its transformation and reached the time for fusion!
All living beings in the world cannot be summarized by just one word "good" or "evil".
In the world of myriad spirits, there is good within evil, and evil within good; it just depends on which side is stronger.```
Only those who know how to kill, destroy and wreak havoc are lunatics.
Su Mu is not a lunatic.
Despite his appearance as a simple-minded giant, he is in fact extremely ruthless and has committed many killings.
In contrast, the cruel spirit needs to leave a trace of kindness amidst its ferocity.
This kindness is not given to others, but to oneself.
With kindness in the heart, we can see colors and feel warmth in all things.
……
One moment of enlightenment can lead to spiritual growth.
Su Mu caught up with the soul and pointed his finger at its forehead, successfully absorbing it.
After integration, Su Mu's breath once again strengthened and improved by 10%.
Counting the spirit he had previously integrated, half of his three souls and seven spirits were now in place.
They are the Soul, Essence, Strength, Qi and the newly fused Spirit.
The Immortal Instrument Trial is about to be completed!
