Power +40.

Successfully killing three True Gods, Xiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just as he relaxed, not even completely at ease yet, his temple shook, unable to withstand the external attacks from two people any longer and was directly shattered.

Pfft!

Simultaneously, Xiao Mu was gravely injured and coughed up blood as his temple was destroyed.

The destruction of the temple dealt significant damage to him.

On the outside, the two who broke the temple rushed in at the moment it was shattered, launching an attack on Xiao Mu.

Boom!

True God Realm divine light and Ruyi Spiritual Light simultaneously lashed out, pounding down on Xiao Mu.

Not only that, but the two requested reinforcement immediately, with the mid-stage True God shouting, "We need help over here."

On the other side, the Mutated Beings heard the call for aid and were taken aback; the battle hadn't been going for long, yet there was already a need for reinforcement.

Thus, the other fighting Mutated Beings turned their attention here in haste, astonished at what they saw.

Not only did Xiao Mu's side need assistance, but in a short span, he had already killed three powerful beings of the Heavenly Court, including one mid-stage True God and two early-stage True Gods—how was that possible?

Was Xiao Mu's strength really this formidable?

The Divine Phoenix and others saw the situation and couldn't help but rejoice.

It was known that on the human side, apart from Xiao Mu, nearly everyone was at a disadvantage, fighting against many with few, barely holding on through sheer courage.

Yet now, Xiao Mu's side had vanquished the enemy in such a short time, which brought them tremendous confidence.

"I'll help!"

The Heavenly Court was visibly anxious, concerned about the situation on Xiao Mu's side.

Xiao Mu's strength was beyond imagination; although they initially thought they had overestimated him, teaming up five experts against him, now it seemed they had indeed underestimated him.

Xiao Mu was even stronger than they had imagined.

Thus, amidst their surprise, the experts on the Heavenly Court's side realized they could not let this continue, so a late-stage True God was immediately sent from the battle with the Divine Phoenix.

He was a formidable figure in yellow, a late-stage True God who flew straight toward Xiao Mu upon appearing.

Rumble! Boom!

The yellow-clad late-stage True God immediately unleashed his temple, deploying the Ruyi True Light; the united power of Ruyi True Light was formidable, much stronger than Xiao Mu's Ruyi Spiritual Light.

Seeing this, Xiao Mu instantly turned and fled without hesitation.

His speed was swift; riding the Five Elements Cloud, he flew away rapidly. His mutated Riding Clouds and Mist technique made him significantly faster.

The yellow-clad late-stage True God was shocked by Xiao Mu's speed exceeding that of typical mid-stage True Gods.

Yet, after a moment's hesitation, he pursued immediately.

His speed was also swift; though he cultivated the ordinary Retribution Cloud, as a late-stage True God, he was a level higher than Xiao Mu.

Though Xiao Mu was only a mid-stage True God, he was close to reaching late-stage.

Had his temple not been destroyed in battle earlier, he might have had a chance against this late-stage God.

But injured and with his temple destroyed, he was clearly not up to the task and fled as soon as the yellow-clad pursuer chased.

The late-stage God noticed Xiao Mu's even faster speed and quickly employed the Blood Cloud technique.

This was an advanced version of the Blood Escape Technique, burning his own blood to create propulsion and increase speed swiftly.

His speed surged at once, bringing him to Xiao Mu's side instantly.

Xiao Mu was shocked and urgently descended to escape.

Xiao Mu too utilized the Blood Cloud technique, matching the pace to widen the distance again quickly.

The two kept chasing and escaping, soon reaching the horizon.

Meanwhile, on the Divine Phoenix side, seeing the yellow-clad figure chase Xiao Mu, the Heavenly Court's side suddenly heard a rustling sound from atop the Black Stele.

With a flash of Blood Light, threads of black light shot skyward, soon enveloping the heavens.

The True God left on the Black Stele began controlling it, advancing towards the human world.

The Black Stele moved quickly, almost as if flying; passing through, the Black Flags started to flutter and release power in all directions.

The power to absorb souls spread, practically covering the entire high heavens instantly.

The northerners of Eastern Desolation were stunned, gazing helplessly at the gigantic Black Stele soaring above, feeling an irresistible force.

Subsequently, the force emerging from the Black Stele was overwhelming, souls were pulled straight out, being absorbed into it lively.

The Black Stele absorbed countless souls in a moment.

After absorbing those souls, the black color of the stele turned to a blood-red pillar, reaching the high heavens, aiming at the Heavenly Court.

That pillar seemed to threaten to pierce the heavens and create a channel to the Heavenly Court.

The Black Stele drew energy from the human world, using souls to complete its aim.

The Black Stele moved unceasingly, continually absorbing souls.

If this continues, once the Black Stele absorbs the souls of Eastern Desolation—not even needing all of them—it could open a dreadful path connecting the human world and the Heavenly Court, enabling entry for Heavenly Court's experts.

"This is not good!"

The Divine Phoenix instantly recognized the crisis, urgently messaging Zhou Xuanmen, "Old Zhou, it's bad, the Heavenly Court's about to open a channel. I must stop them; you handle these people for me."

"Me?"

Zhou Xuanmen gritted his teeth bitterly; despite his strength, holding off so many was daunting, placing him in a tough spot.

But looking at the Black Stele, he consented without hesitation, "I'll do my best, prepare quickly."

Saying this, Zhou Xuanmen unleashed Curse Power, using curses to draw nearby Heavenly Court experts, even targeting those around the Divine Phoenix.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A Cursed Divine Cannon fired from Zhou Xuanmen's feet, assailing True Gods relentlessly.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Court's strong ones besieging the Divine Phoenix were immediately attracted and started surrounding Zhou Xuanmen.

With her hands free, the Divine Phoenix soared skyward, holding the Human Emperor's Seal.

The Human Emperor's Seal radiated halos aimed directly at the Black Stele, striking it fiercely.

Rumble!

Rumble!

The Black Stele emitted a thunderous rumble, shaking under the Human Emperor's Seal's impact, showing signs of being shattered.

Seeing her success, the Divine Phoenix was elated and pressed the attack, wielding the Human Emperor's Seal against the Black Stele continually.

"Damn it!"

The Heavenly Court quickly noticed this situation, and Yan An, who was previously battling the Divine Phoenix, rushed, breaking free from Zhou Xuanmen's assaults, charging toward the Divine Phoenix.

However, Yan An soon changed his mind, turning around to the Black Stele.

Facing the Human Emperor's Seal, he knew he was not her match even if he closed in, hence chose to control the Black Stele.

Yan An stood atop the Black Stele, counterattacking the Divine Phoenix with it, utilizing black light to block the power of her Human Emperor's Seal.
