Year-End Competition

Just as Lin Mu was resting.

On the other side, in a cellar, in a Blood Pool, a body is being drenched in a large amount of blood, and the figure of a man emerges from it.

He slowly emerged from the blood, his face pale.

If Lin Mu were here, he would surely recognize that the man in front of him was none other than Cai Yu'an.

He was killed by Lin Mu in the Blood Moon World, but has now been resurrected once again.

There was a hint of malice in his eyes.

He knew very well that he was able to be resurrected because the Demon King had preserved a part of his remnant soul.

As long as his remnant soul remains, he can be resurrected through the Blood Pool.

"This Lin Mu is terrifying!" Cai Yu'an thought to himself.

His figure walked to the side and soon arrived at a mud puddle.

A huge Phantom slowly emerged from the mud, and then a pair of eyes opened.

The moment his eyes opened, a terrifying pressure surged forth.

He stared at Cai Yu'an and said coldly, "What happened?"

Cai Yu'an knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Your subordinate failed in his duty and did not kill Lin Mu. Instead, he died at his hands!"

Anger surged in the figure's eyes.

He provided Cai Yu'an with plenty of resources.

In this situation, Cai Yu'an still failed to complete the mission and was instead killed by the other party.

But soon, the anger in his eyes was suppressed.

As Demon King, he couldn't possibly be a brainless person.

He knew very well that Cai Yu'an wouldn't fail to complete the mission without a reason.

There must be a reason behind this.

"What's going on?" a dignified voice asked.

Cai Yu'an respectfully said, "At that time, I gathered a lot of people in the Blood Moon World as you instructed. They were all strengthened by me. As long as their physical bodies were not completely destroyed, they could recover. But even under these circumstances, they were still killed by Lin Mu!"

"He obtained a very powerful force within the Blood Moon World... the Netherworld Power!"

Upon hearing this, the Demon King's pupils contracted.

He naturally knew what the Netherworld Power was.

He never expected that Lin Mu would obtain such power.

Since the death of the Nether Emperor, his successors have appeared one after another, but most of them are mediocre.

The use of the Pluto Emperor Legacy is also relatively limited.

Because some races in the Netherworld also reject the Nether Emperor Successor and do not want a new Nether Emperor to appear.

Therefore, most of the Nether Emperor Successor need to be surrounded by these races if they want to cultivate.

Lin Mu was able to master the Netherworld Power in such a short time and kill so many Demons with a single strike.

That must mean they have already passed the tests of these ethnic groups.

They cultivated a relatively complete lineage.

There was a hint of solemnity in the Demon King's eyes.

He did indeed intend to kill Lin Mu.

Because the other party has a high level of talent.

But now, he practically sees Lin Mu as a thorn in his side.

No one knew better than him what the Pluto Emperor Legacy represented.

That is something that could potentially reverse the course of a battle when the two armies are engaged in combat.

The Nether Emperor of that time single-handedly routed the Demon.

Even the lord of Demon could only temporarily avoid his sharp edge.

The Nether Emperor at that time was too dazzling.

So dazzling that even after so many years, the Demon King still felt a slight unease.

"It's no longer a question of whether to kill him or not, but that he must die!" The Demon King took a deep breath, his eyes filled with gloom.

His gaze shifted to the other side, where he saw only a Blood Pool.

Qin Bingfeng sat inside, a large amount of blood flowing into his body, and his aura continued to grow.

The Demon King spat out a black bead.

The bead contains extremely pure energy fluctuations.

The bead slowly approached Qin Bingfeng.

It landed on his forehead, and then traveled down his forehead into his body.

Qin Bingfeng opened his eyes and stared at the scene before him, his face showing shock.

He clearly sensed a trace of the Demon King's aura on the bead.

Almost instantly, his Divine Soul seemed to be affected by something and was directly imprisoned.

"I'll borrow your body for now, and return it to you after I kill Lin Mu!" The Demon King's voice echoed in his mind.

There was a look of surprise in Cai Yu'an's eyes.

He never expected the Demon King to go to such lengths.

He had followed the Demon King for a long time and knew Demon King very well.

Naturally, he knew what price the Demon King would have to pay for doing such a thing.

That black bead contained the essence of the Demon King's Divine Soul; it was, without exaggeration, a clone of his Divine Soul.

This is equivalent to cutting off a portion directly from the Demon King's Divine Soul.

If it were during his prime, it wouldn't be a big deal.

However, he is currently still in a sealed state.

Cutting off a part of his Divine Soul means he will have to endure even greater pain in the afterlife.

Moreover, he could sense that this was all the power the Demon King could currently muster.

To achieve this much at this critical juncture, he really went all out.

Qin Bingfeng slowly walked out of the Blood Pool, his eyes filled with indifference.

Let's go!

After saying that, he walked outside.

Cai Yu'an followed behind him.

He knew that the Demon King was still somewhat unfamiliar with controlling Qin Bingfeng's body and needed some practice.

Lin Mu was unaware of what was happening here; he slept for two whole days.

Upon waking, Lin Mu stood up, feeling refreshed.

I felt an indescribable sense of ease.

Lin Mu walked outside.

There are only two or three days left until the Year-End Competition.

Most people are in a state of asceticism.

Lin Mu walked towards the Sorcerer Alliance.

He was actually quite curious about who the strong opponents would be in this Year-End Competition.

When he arrived at the Sorcerer Alliance, many people looked at him with a sense of respect.

Lin Mu's previous performance is still fresh in everyone's mind.

However, Lin Mu had spent a year in the Blood Moon World and had long forgotten all of this.

Just then, Bai Mo emerged from inside and saw Lin Mu, her beautiful eyes filled with joy.

"Lin Mu!"

Lin Mu had a slight smile on his face.

"Bai Mo."

"It's been a while since I've seen you. What have you been up to?"

"Going to cultivate!"

"I knew it! You're a cultivation fanatic!"

"Shouldn't people strive to climb higher?"

"Alright! Only you can hold out this long. What are you planning to do here this time?"

"I don't plan to do anything, I just want to find out roughly the strength of my opponents in the Year-End Competition!"

"Ask me about this!" Bai Mo said with a smile.

You know?

"Certainly!"

How did you know?

"What's so difficult about this? Do you really think I play around here all day?"

"Come on! Treat me to a meal, and I'll tell you!" Bai Mo said.

"Okay!" Lin Mu nodded and led Bai Mo toward the restaurant.

The two ordered a few dishes and started chatting.

Although Bai Mo's cultivation level wasn't particularly high, she was very good at gathering information and had a good understanding of many things within the academy.

As the two chatted, Lin Mu gained some understanding of his opponents in the year-end competition.
