"Endure, restrain yourself, become a mortal after a year, gradually decline after decades or centuries, die of old age, and become a handful of dust?" Chi Meng asked himself.

His body made its choice, acting ahead of time. A streak of blood stretched for dozens of miles across the sky as he roared, "This is not what I want! I will Change Fate!"

If he doesn't break his existing life trajectory, then his fate and future are already written on paper; everything is predetermined.

He chose to take action!

"Once you take this step, there's no turning back!" At this moment, Chi Meng was a faint Blood Shadow, wrapped in true bones, traversing fifty miles to catch up with the blood essence that emitted divine light.

"How dare you obstruct my path?!" The blood essence was dazzling, like a burst of crimson light, radiating intense energy fluctuations.

"False Heavenly Blood, Zheng Family Immortal?" Chi Meng's face turned cold. This was not the real Heavenly Blood. He had mistakenly hit the secondary vehicle. He raised his hand and blasted forward.

The blood essence with its divine radiance exploded, proving it was indeed not Heavenly Blood. The being hidden within burst forth—a spiritual entity.

He is an immortal who transcends realms, without a true body, only a fragment of his torn primordial spirit.

"Chi Meng, you have ruined my clan's great cause. You will be watched by the eyes of an unparalleled powerhouse, and your immortal life will be shattered in the blink of an eye!" he warned.

Clearly, Chi Meng is no ordinary person behind the behind the Great Curtain; even the immortals of the Zheng family could recognize him immediately.

"So noisy!"

Chi Meng's Blood Shadow glowed and reached out, covering the void. Hundreds of blood-red symbols twinkled like stars, strangling the spiritual body.

"The gaze of an unparalleled expert is everywhere; don't think you can deceive them!" The primordial spirit unleashed its immortal light, fiercely resisting.

However, he was no match for him. His primordial spirit, which had already been severely damaged by crossing realms, was pierced through, and his spiritual energy was severely depleted!

"This Chi Meng is very strong; he quickly defeated one person!" Chen Yongjie stared at the big screen, closely monitoring the situation, and informed Wang Xuan of the situation.

In fact, Wang Xuan himself saw the battle situation over there through the 3D projection of the optical computer, and the area near the wetland was full of detectors.

Zheng Jia was indeed a powerful person, but his primordial spirit was quickly torn apart by Chi Meng, and he was completely wiped out!

"Come on!" Chi Meng said coldly, staring at the blood-red lightning in the distance, his gaze piercing through the torrential rain.

He didn't approach the central area where the crimson lightning was located, but waited quietly outside, not wanting Zheng Yuantian to cast his gaze upon him.

Amidst the rain curtain of crimson lightning, blood essence surged forth once more, this time in six clumps, rushing in different directions.

In an instant, more than a dozen Blood Shadow split off from Chi Meng's body, each chasing after the others, while several others lined up in all directions, ready to follow.

This is the advantage of the Netherblood Divine Art: it allows one to create clones. However, some clones are very weak, while some special clones are extremely strong.

Soon, some clones were destroyed, but he learned that those were still not the true Heavenly Blood and Heavenly Mandate.

Furthermore, at this moment, a spiritual entity killed the clone and then came looking for his main body.

Chi Meng did not conceal his strength. He took out an ancient mirror and shone it on the charging spiritual entity. A thick beam of light burst forth, shattering the primordial spirit.

He shredded the man twice, completely shredding him, and then killed another expert from the Zheng family.

"Chi Meng is very strong. He actually obtained and controlled such a powerful treasure. He is indeed no ordinary person!" Chen Yongjie stared at the big screen seriously.

Now that the other party has made a move, they are no longer the target for assassination. Old Chen began to monitor the Zheng family members!

Boom!

Chi Meng used the ancient mirror to shine forward repeatedly, squandering Super Material, and killed another person, shattering the opponent's primordial spirit!

In a short period of time, he had already killed three people. He did not approach the center of the storm and remained outside.

"Once this step is taken, there's no turning back!" he muttered to himself, realizing he had no other choice now.

He knew that after today, the Zheng family would list him as a target to be killed, and would do everything they could to eliminate him, and that even a peerless expert might personally take action.

"I am like a fish leaping out of the river, which is destined to dry up. I want to change my fate and find a new source of water."

He must obtain the Heavenly Blood to find a chance to survive and change his fate in the final days of the myth's demise.

"They're here!"

Chi Meng was certain that he had discovered the true Heavenly Blood. He cultivated the Netherblood Divine Art and was most sensitive to the Heavenly Blood and destiny. It was a mass of blood essence with astonishing activity, enveloping the foundation of the Immortal Embryo!

After the blood ball moved away from the lightning area, Chi Meng made another move. Ideally, he would seize Zheng Wu's Heavenly Blood and Destiny without the Zheng family noticing.

But he knew it was unlikely; the gaze of an unparalleled expert might already be fixed on him.

He made a fierce move, and dozens of small blood-red flags flew out, enveloping the mass of blood essence.

"Chi Meng, you want to ruin my immortal embryo? I'll fight the Zheng family to the death!" Zheng Wu's voice rang out, followed by a terrifying counterattack.

A drop of golden liquid shot out from the blood essence, transforming into a golden talisman that rushed forward at high speed and rapidly enlarged, aiming to shatter the Chi Meng!

"A drop of blood from the peerless expert Zheng Yuantian?!" The Chi Meng Blood Shadow staggered back, his true bones trembling slightly. However, he remained calm and said, "After crossing realms, the blood of a peerless expert is infinitely weakened. The remaining power condenses into a talisman, but it still can't kill me!"

Dozens of blood-red flags fluttered, forming a magic array as they rushed toward the giant golden talisman, blocking its terrifying attack.

Zheng Wu, his phantom image appearing in the blood essence, changed his expression and said, "The aura of the Nether Blood Sect Progenitor. This is a flag that has been nourished by a wisp of his blood essence."

Boom!

Dozens of blood-red flags collided with the golden talisman paper, causing a tremendous explosion.

At the same time, Chi Meng charged forward, his entire body glowing crimson, staining the sky red. He fought Zheng Wu with his strongest form, determined to quickly seize the Heavenly Blood and Heavenly Mandate!

Chi Meng raised the ancient mirror in his hand and slammed it into the ball of blood essence, causing it to burst into a blinding light.

This is an extremely powerful artifact, capable of killing any creature that has just crossed over from another realm.

It has to be said that Zheng Wu was incredibly powerful. His own blood essence erupted, and with the strange defensive artifacts within his Heavenly Blood Cluster, he managed to withstand the attack.

In an instant, Chi Meng summoned six Bronze Tablet. The blood-red patterns on them made Zheng Wu's expression change. These tablets still carried the aura of the Nether Blood Sect Progenitor.

"How did you get these things?!"

"Back then, before the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor became an immortal, he visited this life-bearing planet and left behind some rare treasures!" Chi Meng coldly announced, intimidating and undermining the other party's confidence.

The two sides clashed violently. In the end, Chi Meng used the ancient mirror in his hand to unleash a beam of light, tearing apart the blood essence and stripping away a portion of the Heavenly Blood!

"How dare you!" Zheng Wu exclaimed in shock and anger. As a rising star, he possessed extraordinary talent and was not afraid of many older figures.

However, he had just crossed over from another realm, so his condition was not right, and the rare treasure he was carrying was broken, so it could not stop the ancient mirror.

Just then, Chi Meng felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around abruptly and saw an altar in the depths of the torrential rain amidst the crimson lightning. A figure covered entirely in black armor was coldly staring at him.

Chi Meng turned and fled, quickly disappearing underground. It was the gaze of an unparalleled expert fixed on him, remembering him!

Sizzle!

Two golden beams of light shot out, piercing through the curtain and disappearing into the underground to annihilate Chi Meng!

"For the sake of a descendant, he was willing to confront the Great Curtain ahead of time, just to kill me and reclaim the Heavenly Blood?" Chi Meng trembled with fear.

He summoned the six Bronze Tablet and threw them behind him. With a terrifying sound, the six divine tablets, imbued with the aura of the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor, exploded.

Chi Meng fled at top speed, shining the ancient mirror backward. At first, it emitted a dazzling light, but soon the mirror surface darkened, and the Super Material instantly evaporated, completely depleting itself.

"No!" Chi Meng shouted. At the critical moment, he swallowed the Heavenly Blood in one gulp. Then he was hit by the dim golden light that was chasing him. His Blood Shadow exploded and cracks appeared in his true bones.

However, he did not die after all. A moment later, he regenerated his Blood Body and burst into laughter.

He seized a portion of the Heavenly Blood and Heavenly Mandate, which was Zheng Wu's essence and foundation, enough for Chi Meng!

He sped away along the underground river and disappeared completely.

In the dense wetland forest, a mass of blood essence reformed, and Zheng Wu's figure emerged within it. His gaze was cold, but he did not linger and quickly disappeared into the distance.

Guided by the placenta, he traversed the sky!

Boom!

After flying thousands of miles, Zheng Wu encountered a warship bombardment in a mountainous area. He dodged many beams of light, but one of them eventually locked onto him and hit him.

A blinding light burst forth, and his blood essence was almost shattered. At the critical moment, faint golden runes bloomed, protecting his Heavenly Blood and Destiny.

"There's something strange about this guy. Should I just blast him to smithereens?" Chen Yongjie told Wang Xuan from inside the warship.

"No, that's enough. If we scare him away or destroy the Heavenly Medicine, that would be terrible," Wang Xuan said, trying to stop him.

The saying goes, "Fortune favors the bold," and it wasn't just him tempting Chi Meng; in fact, he did it himself. By correcting Correction of the Present World and suppressing the Transcendent Immortals, he wanted to build the strongest foundation and break through the ceiling!

"That's too risky, be careful!" Old Chen warned, feeling uneasy, even reckless. Who would guide someone else into their own destiny field?!

Wang Xuan stared at the 3D projection on the quantum computer, sat cross-legged in the forest, and waited for Zheng Wu to appear!

However, he was also frowning. The blood essence did not rush into the ground and lie dormant, but instead crossed the mountains and forests and approached at high speed. Was it confident or was it deliberately testing him?

Time passed, and the mass of blood essence traveled two thousand miles, finally arriving according to the fingerprints on the placenta.

Zheng Wu appeared, emerging from the blood essence, and stood at a distance, staring at Wang Xuan again and again.

If it weren't for the red phantom, he would have looked like a harmless, otherworldly young man with delicate features and an ethereal air.

"Who are you? You're disturbing my peaceful cultivation." Wang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Blood Shadow in front of him.

Zheng Wu didn't speak, but circled him from a distance, nodded, and then sighed, seemingly feeling melancholy and regretting something.

"What do you mean?" Wang Xuan asked.

"You're quite good, even remarkably so. But it's a pity that the Mythological World has collapsed, your path is broken, and you will ultimately become a pile of bones on the road to transcendence. I will walk that path for you, grant you glory, and help you reach the immortal peaks you can never reach, so that you can share in the splendor," Zheng Wu said calmly.
